Hello everyone,
I purchased an Aukey quickcharge 2.0 from Amazon. I was really exited to receive it hoping it was true that it would charge my M8 40% faster.
Well, to my luck it didn't charge any faster than my OEM 5v 1.67 amp charger (I think it is 1.67)
It took around 2 hours to get my phone fully charged with the Aukey which is really dissapoiting since my OEM does it around the same time.
I contacted Aukey and they sent me another charger and this one did the same thing. I do have an OEM usb and I did try a USB that came with a 2 amp charger and still my mA are not even close to 2000mA.
I tried different roms, and kernels and still no luck.
Right now I'm back on stock 5.0.1 with stock kernel and still no luck.
I'm wondering if anyone else is having the same issue with an Aukey charger or any other quickcharge 2.0 charger.
Has anyone had this happened and fixed it?
Here is a screen shot of my most recent charge
I have one of those anker 6 port charges capable of pushing 2.4 amps per port up to 8amps total. Even with only my phone plugged in the phone charges at 1amp or maybe a little faster. I just got a fast charger and gsam reports its pushing out 2.4 amps full. So why is a charger capable of 2.4 amps only pushing out half that?

Does the Anker 6 port charge any devices on that port/cable at 2.4? Or is it just the ZF2 that's getting the limited power?
Are all of the ports capable of pushing the full 2.4?
Seems to be more a question of the charger than it is a question of the phone.
Any reason this didnt go in the questions section?.
Didn't know where to put it and when in doubt I go with general because general is general. And now there is nothing else on charger 99% of time

I had that issue and found the higher amperages require better cables. Try different cables. Also how are you getting the charging numbers?
You need a Qualcomm QC 2.0 compatible charger to get faster charging speed.
The Anker PowerPort 6 60W 6-Port USB Charging Hub Multi-Port USB Charger does not support QC2.0 (Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0). I have this exact charging hub. Here's a link to the charging hub in question. Here's one that does support it.
Yes I understand that but if phone is capable of accepting 2.4 and the charger is capable of 2.4 I don't see why I need a special charger. But oh well I ordered one for each floor of my house

The kernel won't accept more than 1.35A for the 5.2V (or 5V) charger that doesn't support Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0, even if the charger supports 2.4A, or 20A.
If the charger supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 the kernel will accept 9V / 2A from 0-60% charge, and 5V / 2A for 61-100% charge, even if the charger supports more amps.
It's just like charging it via USB 2.0, and 3.0 ports. It will charge at the same rate (5V @ 500mA I believe) on any port even if USB 3.0 supports 900 mA and USB 2.0 only 500 mA.

Fast charging compatible accessories are on the way. I've Tweeted to both Anker and Aukey and they confirmed they're in the works.
Sent from my Sprint Galaxy S5.
I ordered an Anker 5V/2.4A charger to try. It'll be the one I leave at work, as long as it works at all. I'll report on it after my phone comes in Thursday.
Aukey 10000mah quick charge doesn't do anything but all my anker batteries are reporting "rapidly charging".
Aukey 54w 5 port also reports rapidly charging on all five ports including the qc one?
Edit the aukey does charge and reports rapidly charging too
So it seems everything i own is rapidly charging it? I'm more confused than anything else
So I've now purchased a wall charger and a car charger that both have QC 3.0 and claim to support the HTC 10, but neither of them show the "Charging rapidly" when charging my device. Only when I use the original charger or an external battery with QC 3.0 does it display that. Is it possible that it's still charging using QC 3.0 while charging if it doesn't display the "Charging rapidly" on the lock screen? I really just want a car charger and additional wall charger with multiple ports that will rapidly charge my HTC 10. I'm really sick of buying accessories that do not when they say they support the HTC 10.
These are the accessories I've tried and none of them will display "Charging rapidly":

THIS is a good multi port charger I have one and it quick charges and displays on the phone it is. I use this cable on it.
For a car charger I use THIS and it quick charges no problem with THIS cable
I am wondering the same thing... what does a cable or charger need to provide fast charging... I wonder if it's the cables because I got one from amazon and use it with the htc charger that came with the phone and it does not "quick charge," it only does it with the cable it came with. I bought this one:

I just made sure they were the latest cables, the ones you linked to are USB 2.0 and 480mbps. while I made sure to get USB 3.1 to USB 3.0 cables and have 5gbps. I know the speeds really don't have much to do with charging say, but I think the generation of cable has a lot to do with it

Hmmm.... good point, if someone could confirm this maybe? Does make much more sense, I guess I should've read better. I will just get one of your cables because I just recently bought a QC 3.0 car charger and there's no point in it if it ain't fast charging.
So the Aukey multi-port charger came with a USB-C cable and it claims to support the HTC 10, so it's infuriating that it doesn't work.
I use this wall charger and it shows "charging rapidly" on the screen. I have an older cable with the micro usb connection, so I use this adapter to make the connection to the phone. Combined, they work like a charm.

Are you using a USB-C to USB-C cable? those accessories only have quick charging on the USB-C port. If you buy new ones make sure to check what ports support the QC 3.0. Sometimes the only have one port that has the QC and the rest are normal 2 amp ports.
I've just ordered the Aukey 6 port USB Quick Charge 3.0 Wall Charging Station from Amazon UK (link below), so I'll test it once it comes in and post here with the results. One thing I noticed is that the Aukey hub only supports QC3.0 on the USB-C plugs, not the USB2 ports. I'll be using this to charge my HTC 10 and my Pixel C using the USB-C ports and USB-C cables for both devices so I can see if both QC3.0 AND USB-C Rapid Charging works at the same time. The remaining USB2 ports I'll use to plug my Qi charging pads into and my smartwatch charger. Looking forward to not having so many plugs lying around.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Charger-Te...EFN8/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A2UZUMHNJKCOJU
I'll let you all know once it all comes.
Okay, so I just got delivery for all my bits in my previous post. I've made sure both my HTC 10 and my Google Pixel C ran down the battery to 20% on each and plugged them both into the USB-C ports on the Aukey charging station using USB-C to USB-C 3.1 cables, both 3 foot long. I'm not using any of the cables that came with my tablet or phone or the USB-C 2.0 cable that comes with the Aukey charging station, I am using Belkin USB-C to USB-C 3.1 cables.
Using the Belkin USB-C 3.1 cables both my HTC 10 and Pixel C show Charging Rapidly after around 45 seconds on the lock screen with a time remaining counter.
Using the Aukey USB-C 2.0 cable that came with the Aukey charging station I do not get Charging Rapidly at all on my HTC 10, I only get "Charging" and a percentage.
However, I do get Charging Rapidly with time remaining counter on my Pixel C when using the Aukey USB-C 2.0 cable.
Based purely on my own testing, I would make sure you use high quality cables, preferably the 3.1 gen cables and then nothing will be slow. I have no idea why the USB-C 2.0 cable doesn't like to Quick Charge my HTC 10, and I don't have any other gen 2.0 USB-C cables to try out, so sorry about that.
I hope that helps some of you out.

Mine does not show Charging Rapidly even though I use HTC supplied charger and cable! Do I need to activate it or what? I am using and EU plug converter to my US charger, might that be the problem, although I doubt it just passes on the same supply, its not a frequency/voltage converter.
Thank you for your help!

I'll check tonight and let you know later, but I'm pretty sure that the charger that comes the HTC 10 in the box is NOT a Quick Charge 3.0 Rapid Charger... Which would explain why you are not seeing "Charging Rapidly" with the original charger and USB cable. I may be wrong, but I will let you know either way in this thread as it is honestly something that I did not look at when I got my phone. Mine is a UK model bought in-store in the UK so what you get in the box may vary depending on the region you purchased from.
Cheers

The supplied HTC charger and cable are QC 3.0 compatible. They show "Charging rapidly" when I connect my phone.
The iClever 24w QC 3.0 charger works with the orange-e 3.1 usb c. It displays "chargin rapidly". This is probably unrelated, but the charger doesn't show it as chargin rapidly, but the phone does.

The supplied charger is definitely a quick charge 3.0 charger, it even says it on the power brick. It doesn't matter what region you are in, all of them come with a quick charge 3.0 charger.

Yup, you are correct. Just got home and plugged my charger in and it too shows "Charging Rapidly". COol, now I have a backup in case my Aukey stops working for whatever reason.
@fidanhGPE I'm not sure why yours doesn't show as Charging Rapidly when using your original charger, possibly something wrong with your handset maybe? Sorry I can't be of more help to you as all mine works fine with the original HTC supplied charger and HTC USB-A to USB-C charging cable, and also with the Aukey charging station and a USB-C to USB-C Gen 3.1 cable.

Having a Nexus 6P, I was under the impression "rapid charging" only worked with a type-c to type-c charger..?

It might be the converter because you should get "Charging rapidly" when using the charger and cable that came with the phone (that is still weird though), and yes they are Quick Charge 3.0 compatible like the other person mentioned above.

I checked it, it QC 3.0 and it is charging rapidly, though I get it only on the power/battery settings only, no notification when I plug it in.
On another note, do you know if I can use old (normal) car chargers on HTC 10? Will it charge the phone, although I am not expecting a quick charge there? Will it harm the phone?

Nah man just make sure you have a type a to type C usb cable that has that 56ohm resistor crap to make sure your phone will be fine. Phone will charge just fine. I actually just got a QC 3.0 car charger as well and it doesn't charge THAT much faster than an old car charger I had.
I've had a nexus 5x before and own a pixel table. Both come with USB C port to charge. So i bought a itian qc3.0 charger at that time. (http://www.gearbest.com/chargers-cables/pp_389793.html)
Now i changed to the lg g6, but it refused to do the 'fast charging ' when i use that chargers qc3.0 port and even says 'slow charging' when connecting to the usb c output.
Is it the combination that's just flakey or did they put something specific in the original charger that comes with the lg g6?
I'm bit lost on the topic of chargers currently, anyone care to enlighten me on what should could would work?
Lg g6 is picky I think

I'm using the charger from my Nexus 6 and my G6 says that it's quick charging. Only QC 2.0 on that one though.

Works fine with my wife's charger from her Galaxy Note 4 as well. ? (Pretty sure that's a QC 2.0 charger as well.)
Does LG not provide a qc 3.0 charger with their own phone ??
Mine came with a MCS-H06UR charger.
Rated @ 9.0V 1.8A / 5.0V 1.8A
After a quick Google search I've had no luck ascertaining if this is QC 2.0 or QC 3.0.
From what I can tell, my phone charges as fast if not faster using the 5V/3A charger that came with my 6P.
From what I've read online, the LG G6 also supports USB-PD.

Shouldn't really get hot once it's fully charged?
The charger that comes with it is a quick charge 3.0 charger and can completely charge your phone from zero in less than 2 hours easily. You have to use the cord that came with it though, or at least one that is compatible. If you look at the icons, you will see a different one than the usual charging icon. Pulling down the menu shows something about fast-charging when its active.
My experience comes from the Sprint version.

i use one from Tylt each night since im always on-call. havent had a problem once.
None of my QC 3.0 charger fast chagrge my G6. The QC 2.0 chargers do.
I've bought a Choetech wall usb charger, QuickCharge 3.0 with its usb type-c cable, and when I plug it on LG G6, it says that there's fast charging.
https://amzn.com/B019Q5WT6W
I do not believe the LG stock charger is qc qc 3.0 compatible because its fixed mat output at 9v is 1.8a
qc 3.0 defines the max amps at each voltage level from 5v to 9v to 12v
I ended up buying anker qc 3.0 chargers for my car and for ac wall outlet. also bought their nice braided usb c cable. every combination yields a fast charger notification in the drop down and the ampere app confirms this. also watching the real time output is impressive from all these chargers.
the benefit to using a certified qc 3.0 charger is that the phone will tell it exactly what amps to deliver based on charge & temp.
further, the G6 has a heat pipe to help cool the entire phone including the battery, to help prevent a galaxy note scenario.
wireless charging is slow Qi spec and is NOT fast like samsung. however, slow charging over wireless is great for overnight.
I use anker's qi charging puck and it works great except I have to remove my case. same with the samsung fast charger puck. my wife doesn't have to remove the case on her S7 to do regular or fast charging. LG's design is obviously inferior for the Qi to pickup and activate the coil.
Today Amazon delivered also this Anker dual usb car charger (QuickCharge 3.0):
http://amzn.com/B01K9MQ8WW
and when LG G6 is connected it shows that is in fast charging mode.
Those who bought QC 3.0 charger and those who trying different cables with LG G6 charger, Try Cable from Oneplus 3, I get an improved charging of 10-20 minutes less compared to stock LG cable
The issue might be the cable you're using. I've had no trouble fast charging using an old ASUS QC 2.0 charger, or a cheap car QC 3.0 charger. Even when using microUSB cables with USB-C adapter tips, but I'm using decent cables (mostly Monoprice and Anker).
I've confirmed that the charger that came with my G6 is QC3.0 (model MCS-H06UR, UK 3-pin). Using a USB power meter, the voltage will increase from 5V to 9V in small steps. If I use a QC 2.0 charger (stock charger from Note4/S7edge), it will jump from 5V to 9V immediately.

How much time does it take to charge fully? Did you record time ?
