hello , can i use samsung s6 charger for fast charging on my htc m8 ?
Unfortunately, no. It has to be a charger which bears the Qualcomm Quick Charge logo like this: https://goo.gl/images/vZLCZB
Either the lightning bolt symbol, or the charger will say "Quick Charge 2.0" etc. on it.
The M8 specifically supports QC 2.0, although other official QC chargers will work, to some degree. QC 3 and 4 chargers will charge at QC 2.0 speed (not as fast as QC 3 and 4). A QC1 charger will work (faster than standard charger), but not as fast as QC 2.0 speed.
Unfortunately, Samsung uses their own fast charge technology, which isn't compatible with other brand devices (such as HTC). Blame it on the phone manufacturers, who are trying to differentiate their products with their own fast charge technologies. Breaking the native Qualcomm Quick Charge function, even for devices (such as Samsung, and there are others) that use Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets.
it doesn't have this

Qualcomm Released Quick Charge 3.0. New Chargers Would Soon Show up.
I see many people are discussing about QC 2.0 fast chargers. Now Qualcomm official released the next generation fast charge technology--Quick Charge 3.0.
Quick Charge 3.0 offers a more granular range of voltages: 200mV increments, from 3.6V to 20V. It means better efficient compare with previous Quick Charge Technology, Qualcomm said 38% more efficient than Quick Charge 2.0.
Quick Charge 3.0 can be implemented with USB Type-A, USB micro, USB Type-C, or proprietary connectors. The USB Type-c is the trends and future, More and more device will come with type-c port. The QC3.0 is fully implemented with type c, which means we might see a lot of device which have type c port and at the same time support quick charge 3.0.
Quick Charge 3.0 will be available in newest Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, including the Snapdragon 820, 620, 618, 617, and 430.
It’s 100% backward-compatible with Quick Charge 1.0 and Quick Charge 2.0 devices. so don’t worry about no device support,if it detect your device don’t support QC3.0,it will direct give you 5V/9V/12V QC2.0 standard.
I believe there will soon come some QC 3.0 chargers. I am looking forward to trying one!!
Besides, it is said that the QC 3.0 fast charger is safer for those phones compatible with QC technology. Because the current is aroused step-by-step. Well, I don't know how to explain it clearly, if someone could help explain, please, I will be a good learner!
I'm trying to use my Samsung Fast adaptive charger with my Wife's M8, but it doesn't seem to quick charge it? On the S6 it has a "fast charging" notification but nothing like that on hte M8. Is that normal? The total charge time from 1% to 100% on the M8 is 3 hours. Again, is this correct, especially since I'm using a quick charger?
Samsung's fast charge technology is proprietary, and only works on Samsung devices.
The M8 uses the Qualcomm proprietary "Quick Charge 2.0" technology. It requires a changer that is branded QC 2.0, either saying Quick Charge 2.0, or with the circle/lightning bolt symbol as shown here.
Don't know where you are located, but you can get a decent QC2.0 compatible charger on places like Amazon (just search "Quick Charge 2.0" and you'll get plenty of results) for $10-12 US.
Once connected, Quick Charge 2.0 won't actually give you any indication on-screen that its charging any faster (like the Samsung notification you mentioned) just the usual charging indicator. But you'll find the phone charging to full in around an hour or 1.5 hours.
You can "thank" the manufacturers for the lack of standardization with quick/fast charging. Technically, any device with a Snapdragon 820 chipset can support the Qualcomm QC 2.0 feature and chargers (unless the manufacturer messes with the feature). But some manufacturers (Samsung, and more recently OnePlus) decided they can do it better; or at least force you to use their brand chargers.
Hi,
CM roms or GPE ROMs support fast charging ? beacuse with my Samsung Fast charger it has a very slow charge like complete in 2-3 hours.
Thanks !
Samsung charger won't work on this device for fast/quick charging. You can blame Samsung for that (or for manufacturers not all using the same fast charge standard). Samsung does not use the Qualcomm QuickCharge standard, inherent in the Snapdragon chipsets. Samsung decided to use their own proprietary fast charge technology, which only works on their devices. Probably at least part of the reason, is that Samsung does not always use Snapdragon processors in their devices.
With the M8, you need to use a charger that specifically supports Quick Charge 2.0, which will either say QuickCharge 2.0, and/or have the QC logo like this: http://www.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/themes/android_visor/images/badges/quick-charge.png
Also, QC 3.0 compliant chargers will also work on this device, but at QC 2.0 speeds (not the faster QC 3.0 charge rates). Might be a consideration if you are going to buy a QC charger, and want some "future proofing" for a possible future QC 3.0 device.
I was reading that some higher amp rated chargers (not QC compliant) may charge slightly faster with QC devices, but you'll never achieve full QC charge rates. And from what you're seeing (and others have reported similar) is that the Sammy charger doesn't give you any faster charging then the "standard" (non-QC) charger that came with the M8.
Not sure (not a CM or GPE user myself), but I believe with the proper charger, QC 2.0 will work on the device, regardless of the ROM, as the feature is built into the chipset hardware itself. But you can probably check the ROM threads to verify that.
So..........anyone know if it's Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 or something else? I found one report that claims it's QC3, but not sure of their source. Not sure if anyone saw any "hands on" videos where they were able to ask Google about it.

Don't know for sure, but I was curious and searched for info on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 that the Pixels use. The 821 does support quickcharge 3.0 so chances are the Pixels will use it.

EDIT: Well reading this https://plus.google.com/+BensonLeung/posts/GnjQBqAovnD it looks like Qualcomm quickcharge is not used, but instead they use the USB-C fast charging standard. " I would really prefer if they had mentioned Power Delivery, instead of "Type-C quick charging" which could be misconstrued as Qualcomm's proprietary tech. The Pixels do not use proprietary technology to charge. They use standard USB Type-C and USB Power Delivery."
Tried to post last night, but couldn't. As mentioned above, it uses USB-PD, and not qc 3.0. Many argue USB-PD > QC 3.0.
When I use a Qualcomm QC3 charger with my Pixel C, it rapid charges. QC3 supports a 5v3a 15w charge, which is the Pixel C's USB PD requirement. As QC3 scales its voltage and amperage, it's likely QC3 chargers will support USB PD at 18w too.
(I havent gotten it working the other way around, for example, the USB PD charger rapid charging my HTC 10 that uses quick charge.)
Guys, I bought this Wireless Charger Pad Slim EP-P1100T, to use on my Note 10 Plus, the information says it has a fast charge, but when I put my device on it, fast charge information does not appear even though it is enabled on the cell phone, is it really so? Android 10 does not show the message?
I think you should use Quick charge 3.0 charging head not the samsung 25w head with it , anyway even if you use the suitable charger with it Note 10 plus automatically shut off fast wireless charging when using slim pad for more that 20% of fast charging because of heat issues since slim charging pads don't have cooling fans and they heat up very quickly
I have one of these also, the only fast charger that enables fast charge with that wireless charger is my old Note 9 charger, it provides the 18w QC2.0 the wireless charger needs.

I'm using the charger that came with Note 10 + ...
Is that why the phone doesn't charge fast charge with the pad?

Yes, this charger was designed for the previous generation of phones (S9, Note9 ect) which included a compatible charger. Samsung confirms this here: https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/m...nes/wireless-charger-pad-slim-ep-p1100bbegww/
Samsung doesn't use Quick Charge technology since it's a Qualcomm only feature and Samsung uses its own chipset which isn't Snapdragon.
Instead, it uses Power Delivery which is a standard and better in all aspects.

That's not entirely true, Samsung definitely do sell phones with the Qualcomm Snapdragon SOC and the 15W charging on most of their previous phones (S6, S7, S8 and S9 generations) was QC2.0 or QC2.0 compatible. This is why I am able to fast charge my Exynos Note 9 at full 15W with a QC3.0 charger.
USB Power Delivery is good but it's just another charging protocol, later versions of Qualcomm Quick Charge are also USB-PD compatible.

That's right it is, but there's more.
It's not just an other charging protocol, it's an USB standard, that's means all USB ports will have it by default.
Quick charge is proprietary licensed and will be dead soon because there's no use of paying licence for nothing.
And it's not the same at all. Power Delivery is made for dynamically adjusting current intensity and tension depending of the device you plug in and battery level, for them to take only what it needs.
Quick charge isn't, that's why you need dedicated QC ports on chargers.
It's easy for QC to be "compliant" if it shares one similar spec, but it's useless since all next USB ports will use USB-PD.
And that how it worked before, with fast charging, you only had to take in consideration that the output specs and the chargers is equal or higher to the input specs of the battery to get fast charge, but it's risky for the battery.
It may appear silly, but for efficiency and durability, lithium ion battery should not be charged at the same current and intensity at all levels and that's at least one reason why it's important.

I disagree but there doesn't seem to be any point in telling you that you're wrong.
