Quick Charge 2.0?

I know they mentioned fast charging with the usb type c and all but they didn't really say if it's quick charge 2.0 :crying:
I also pre ordered the second it came live and it didn't give me tax, but I had to cancel the order because the shipping address was at the wrong house. Now it made me pay for tax and it came out to be $40
Anyone else have this?

I also want to know this, anyone who can confirm?

Every article and spec list I've seen indicates that it doesn't have quick charge.

USB type c should charge faster than qualcom quick charge 2.0 correct? It does mention fast charging but does not specify

3 amps @ 5 volts. That is equal or greater than a turbo charge with the Nexus 6, so I would say you won't be disappointed.

I want to know this as well, those of us with multiple quick chargers, will they work properly with the 5X?

Spoke to Google Store support and they were clear that its NOT Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 compatible.
They said it uses Fast Charge technology.
I asked if any charger that outputs 3A would charge the device at full speed, but they weren't really sure.
They advised me to contact LG.
I'm hoping my Anker chargers will work with the 5X and save me from having to buy all new accessories.

yes that 's the point / i have a couple of q.c 2.0 / i didnot want to buy more ..

It would be great if we can use the QC 2.0 chargers with a monoprice USB C cable to get fast charging speeds.
Edit: Just looked at USB C cable prices on monoprice and they are almost the same as the google store, maybe a dollar cheaper. No bueno

The question is does it charge 3A (15W) from 0 - 100% ? If so then it's a game changer :good:

Pretty sure all fast charging tech is reliant on how low the battery is and as it gets full it slows down.

QC 3.0 Powerbank

Hey,
As one of the first devices to support Qualcomm's QuickCharge 3.0 it seems like a great idea to use a QC 3.0 compatible Powerbank on the go.
Not only is it said to be more power efficient, it's definitely faster, the shorter your stuck on a Powerbank, the better right?
So has any of you used a QC3.0 Powerbank before?
A list of certified devices is shown here: https://www.qualcomm.com/news/onq/2...accelerating-hundreds-devices-and-accessories
Aside from the QC 3.0 aspect, I'm not sure what's better. Going for a small 4000-5000mAh device that's handy but charges your phone just once, or go for a huge 16'000mAh brick which will charge it 3-4 times?
I've never had a Powerbank before. Until now I've always reached a wall outlet before I ran empty.

Im actually waiting for anker power bank qc 3.0 to come out, talk with them and seem will be launched this month

I bought this RAV Power 20100mAh unit that is QC3 a couple weeks ago, I've used it with my M9 (As my 10 hasn't arrived yet...) and it seems to work great so far. It costs a couple bucks right now but so far worth it to me...
http://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-Certified-RAVPower-20100mAh-Technology/dp/B019IFIJW8
I would avoid anything by Aukey, I've had a couple ones that were QC2 go bad and their customer service response is not good at all.

I'm waiting for choe tech one to arrive and I'll review it as soon as I get it

Nice.
As I doubt that you have a QC3.0 compatible USB Powermonitor may I ask you to use Software to Benchmark a Charging situation?
Using the App Battery Log ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kr.hwangti.batterylog) you can simply start the service when at 5% Battery and the Powerbank is connected.
5% because everything below is bad for battery health if you do it to often, and everything above isn't really a full charge.
When you receive your phone and have time to play around, that is
I hope the Powerbank is able to charge the phone as fast as a wall charger.
P.S did you know that RAVpower is not on the official list from Qualcomm for QC3.0 certified devices?

Charging Speeds and Confusion

Hey guys! I've been a long time lurker and finally have decided to come out of the woods and get some help.
I'm looking to order all my accessories today however I want to make sure I'm getting what I need so I don't have to go back and buy different cords.
I guess my first question is: Will a USB C to USB C cable charge faster than a USB A to USB C cable? Or does it all depend on the wall/car adapter?
I was hoping to buy 3 USB C to USB C cable with an extra wall adapter and car adapter. The whole USB C and QC 3.0 discussion has confused me like many others. What do I need? This is what I was looking at getting:
Anker PowerLine USB-C to USB-C 2.0 Cable (3ft): (Can't post links...)
USB C Charger,Tronsmart 30W Dual USB Wall Charger with Quick Charge 3.0 Technology: (Can't post links...)
USB C Quick Charge 3.0 AUKEY Car Charger with Dual AiPower Ports: (Can't post links...)
Do all of these products seem that they would give me the best possible charging times and be safe to use with the HTC 10? I appreciate all the help!
Thanks much!

I'm using the Aukey in my car and it charges really quickly and the popup for rapid charging comes up.
Can't really recommend the others only the one I have.

So you use USB A to USB C? There won't be a noticeable difference between the charge times if using a USB C to USB C cable?

type a to c "may" limit speeds in some situations. like this car charger you wont get the quick charge from they type A to C but if you use the type c to c in the other port youll get the speeds with say these cables here

The phone can't support two USB specs simultaneously because that's a direct violation of the spec. If you use a C-C cable with a charger that outputs via QC 2.0/3.0 then it will charge at QC 2.0/3.0 speeds. On the other hand if you use a charger that is for the Nexus 5X/6P which outputs using the USB-C charging spec (5V/3A: 15W) then it will charge slowly at 1.5 A not fast charge. This is because it can only support one standard or the other no both, so I recommend just getting QC 2.0 or 3.0 chargers and use whatever port they offer. It could either use a conventional USB-A or the USB-C as long as you use the appropriate cable and the charger spec matches your phone (Qualcomm quick charge), then there won't be any issues.

Ahhh that makes sense. Perfect response! So I'll plan on getting QC 3.0 chargers and just match the appropriate cables. It will probably come out to be cheaper this way as well.

Not a problem, I actually wrote up an OP showing the expected charging speeds via different charging methods across the devices that I own. QC 3.0 isn't faster than QC 2.0, but to conclusively prove that I will add a QC 2.0 test conducted with my HTC 10 to my OP linked below. Since I own a Nexus 6P, and S7 Edge so it's easier for me to test and check that which is why I mentioned it in my comment.
Here is the OP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/comparison-htc-10-qc-3-0-charging-test-t3377397

I can't understand where people have gotten the impression that QC 3.0 would somehow be faster than QC 2.0, with phones that is.

Qualcomm claimed that it was faster.
Even being more efficient, it should be at least a little faster and produce less heat... both of which are good things.

I posted a picture from Qualcomm where they state QC 3.0 is faster. In reality QC 3.0 is not faster, or even better from what I've seen so fsr. I didn't notice a difference in the amount of heat generated, technically the higher the volatge and lower the rate will result in a cooler phone but QC3.0 does the opposite.
Here is the slide from Qualcomm again where they say it's faster.

It's just 10% faster. You will be hard pressed to see these 10% in real life scenarios.
When they are saying it is less heat dissipation they are talking about the charger. The efficiency of power transfer is in the charger.

It doesn't even charge 1% faster, in fact it's slower. There wasn't a noticeable difference in heat when I tested it. I didn't actually measure the temperature because I don't think an app will accurate depict the temps, but I can to see if it is cooler. QC 3.0 isn't all its hyped up to be unless something changes I don't think it's really all that great.

I tested out of curiosity the charger from the Note4 (QC2.0) and it is fast as well .. but I could not see any noticeable difference. ... Then again, my phone is just 4 days old so the battery is not up to speed (it requires about 5-6 cycles for a Li-Ion to get to the full potential). Maybe you are right, maybe I'm right .. I do not know yet.
However, if I reach a definitive conclusion with my gear I'll post it here.

quick charge 4.0 wall charger

Is this one Tenker, 60W Adapter with PD/QC4.0 truly quick charge 4.0 certified or just QC 4.0 compatible?
What QC 4.0 chrager would you advice?
I'd prefer one with 3-4 USB ports, capable of charging 3 phones/tablets at once

I suggest you check out the Razer charger. They are a very trusted, high end company.

Correct, but it supports QC4.0 (as confirmed by others). May be two possible reasons 1) Bad marketing 2) The included charger is only QC3.0 (Why LG, why...its you flagship phone, show some respect and love)

It says
"These devices contain the hardware necessary to achieve Quick Charge 4/4+. It is at the device manufacturer’s
discretion to fully enable this feature."
I do hope it's enabled by default.

Well QC4.0 chargers are almost none existant, that's why

A better QC 3.0 charger than the original (with more amps / 12 volt) can decrease charging time?

Hi
Has anyone tried this charger ?
I did not find any Videos on Youtube or orther sites selling it
What got me Interested in this charger was it has 2 Usb ports
1 of QC 3.0 & orther of QC 4.0
do not know if it works

Yeah the 845 supports it but i dont think LG has enabled it in firmware.
Im just excited we have fast wireless charging thats useable.
Kind of like bands, the radio will do them all but most are firmware specific.

before buy qc 4.0 charger i think the first step is create a mod that enable quickcharge when screen is on and possibility of increase max charging current to 3 amp
notice that when screen is on max current is around 1A and when is off is around 2.2A
so i think is useless buy an expensive charger when the firmware is limited to these values

Exactly, we need a custom kernel to have the charging amperes to be changed manually which is really cool. If we have a really cool custom kernel, the CPU governors should preset customisable governors (for smooth performance) and for the charge values, just look for a 3A charger, with the Kernel Adiutor change the values. Meaning the benefits of rooting gives us the complete freedom of our Android! If a 4A charger is detected by the kernel manager app, the charge values should show as "upto 4A even with the screen on! Then no need to be jealous of Dash Charging of One Plus!

so... if u bought a quick charge 4.0 brick... will it charge the g7 faster than QC 3.0?

Why? So G7 could pave the ways of Galaxy Note 7 and if not burn in flames then at least loose 50% of battery capacity in half a year? Sorry I'm not enlisting to shoot myself in the foot and throw expensive $700 phone in half a year to garbage can just because
Quick Charge 4.0 doesn't bump currents to 3A, it's not working that way. It bumps voltages to 20V instead

Yes, and no, i think the only one "problem" (or protection?) is the limit at 1 amp when the screen is unlocked, 20 volt i think isn't so useful if we use a good usb cable

It's not 20 volts. That's way too much for a battery. It's actually 9v + 2 amps. 20v it's mostly for Tables i think.

9 Volts isn't even Quick Charge 3.0, it's legacy QC 2.0.
QC 3.0 & 4.0 compatible phones can get charged from 20V, 12V, 9V and 5V

This is the one I use:
https://www.aukey.com/products/quick-charge-3-0-wall-charger-pa-t9
But if I plan ahead, I try not to use it very often. It works well, it's just that the long-term health of my battery benefits from slower charging.

USB PD vs. QC 3.0 (QC4.)?

I just purchased an LG G7 ThinQ on Verizon in the US, coming from an LG Optimus G Pro, purchased in 2013. It's being shipped right now, so I don't have it to play with.
With that said, I'm a newbie to quick charging. I see that the phone comes with a QC 3.0 block, and that the phone is listed as being QC 4.0 compatible, as per Qualcomm's website.
I'm looking to order all new cables and chargers to take advantage of the higher charging speeds that this phone can allow. I'm not understanding though whether I'd be better off buying a car charger that is QC 3.0 or has USB PD. I realize that the USB PD would be the way to go for laptops and larger items, but for our phone, is there any difference? I do realize that I'd need a dual-ended USB C cable for the PD charger.
Also, has anyone tried using a QC 4.0 charger on the phone, and although Qualcomm says the phone has the 4.0 hardware, has LG enabled us to use it?

So the LG chargers can deliver 9v 1.8A.
The phone will recognize my 18w and other 45w PD charger, but I haven't managed to see any difference in the charging speeds, and more annoying, charging is pretty slow when screen is on.
I wanna buy a USB meter (PD compatible) to see what's the phone actually asking for, but I assume that it just sits at 15w max.
The reason I have a PD charger is because it allows you to have longer USB-C cables and it's compatible across more devices, like I can fast charger my Huawei Mate 10 pro with it, you can also charge iPhones with it.

USB PD is an entirely different language than QC 2-4. They negotiate and handle power different from each other. If you plug USB PD into a QC device it should default to 5v, 1 or 2 amp standard charging.
Use only QC 3.0+ equipment. That will get you the rapid charge you're looking for as it speaks the right language for the phone. I dont believe LG has enabled QC4 standards in the firmware although the chip supports it.
LG G7 is also wireless rapid charge, i get an almost QC speed on a 15w ravpower and umdigi wireless pads. Took me a few to find ones that were quality and charged fast. Most of the "10w" chargers dont actually put out 10w so they dont charge fast.

QC 4.0 is actually compatible with Power Delivery, Qualcomm did that in fear that Google would make PD mandatory.
And there can be handshaking between previous QC devices and PD chargers, since the most basic profiles are kind of standard (max 9v 2A).
So in this way I can fast charge a S8, the LG G7 and any other QC device with the PD charger and I can charge other PD and QC devices with my Huawei fast charger power bank (it's based on QC 3 delivering max 9V 2A).

I just wished that phones would support higher charging rates via the PD standard.
I'm mostly sure that neither the S8 nor the G7 are taking full advantage of the max power output of their charger for long.
I thought that the charger might be under delivering, but connecting my PD 18w charger results in the same situation, I still need to measure it (need to buy a USB meter to have more details).
But using the same 18w PD charger I can charge the Mate from 20 to 50% much faster than I can charge the G7.
