Hello experts!
Some weeks ago I byed a Huawei phone G8. With my old Nexus 4, there was a feature that I´m missing. Charging with Qi. At the G8 there is no provision of home because the device has a metal cover and thereby provide the factory can not.
So I tested a universal variant in which the receiver is connect about the Mico USB from the phone. The receiver has a power output of 1000mA and is It is this model: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00C5X1JGE?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00
The install was easy, space between Sender and receiver less then 4mm. I have test 2 Models of charger, a Zens like this http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00C5X1JGE?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00
And this model:
http://www.ebay.at/itm/121797953332?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
With both models, I have the same problem. The charging of the mobile phone works so flawlessly to 95%. Above this threshold, there are only charging interruptions, sometimes stops the charge. I have use different power supply units tried with 5V 1A to 5V 2A no change, always the same problem.
Charging up to 100% is possible with the charger cable without Qi. Does anyone have experience with Qi charging in conjunction with Huawei mobile phones? Can anyone give a hint what I could do to?
I've even ordered a Qi Circuit Board with 3 coils from China. Should obviously have more output line. The model I have not yet, however, is on the way. Gladly I will tell my experience with this model.
Many thanks for your help!
Hi everyone!
I have a car charger for my old phone, the OnePlus 3. But yesterday my Samsung Galaxy s8+ arrived and is now my daily driver .
My question is : Does a official OnePlus car charger (with dash charge) works for my Samsung Galaxy s8+? If so, does it damage the battery?
Kind Regards,
Pieter
I have tried mine with the old OnePlus dash charger and though it works, the charge speed is crazy slow. The phone was reporting that from about 40% it would take 5 hours to finish the charge.
Am guessing there is something propitiatory in the dash charger that is causing this. I dont use it on the S8 anymore, incase its damaging the battery somehow.

It won't damage the battery, but it also won't do fast charging as the Dash charging is proprietary and doesn't support Qualcomm's (also proprietary but much more widely used) Quick Charge 2 (or higher; QC is backwards compatible) that the S8/S8+ uses.
According to the car Dash Charger specs the standard (non-Dash) charge supports up to 5V at 2A, which is 10W. Compare this to the official Samsung charger's 9V at 1.67A (QC2), so provides 15W.

In theory then it should be able to charge the S8+ at two-thirds of the speed of the official charger, however it is possible there are other incompatibilities that slows it down - ie. the Dash charger won't provide the full 10W for some reason. A possibility might be the Dash charger cable, as from what I understand this is a bit different to a normal cable to support the Dash charging technology. Maybe try a high-quality standard USB and see if it charges any faster?
An aside: The S8/S8+ is the fact it can also fast charge over (the non-proprietary) USB Type C with 5V at 3A (also 15W). This isn't USB Power Delivery (USB-PD), just the 15W allowed by USB Type C, and since that can provide the full 15W the phone can use over QC2 there's no actual need for USB-PD - but most charges that support 5V at 3A are labelled as providing USB-PD and will work with the phone even if the phone don't use the 'PD' part of the spec.
Background :
One of the reasons of getting the LG G7 was placing it on and off (for top ups). I did not dwell (yet) into getting a separate wireless charging pad (and I haven't really been charging it much that ways yet either). I stumbled upon my lost Samsung Wireless charging pad which I used extensively on the S series earlier (unable to post link as I am a new user). Please google Samsung EP-PG920I Wireless Charger.
Questions and Concerns :
I once started charging it wireless from 3% or so and observed that suddenly it would stop charging on its own. It would not start charging again until it was lifted and placed again and again in some time it would stop charging. I thought it might be a one-off issue and tried to do the same the other day and it did the exact same thing all over again the next time as well. I'm assuming it has something to do with the charger pad. I did read somewhere that the phone has its cut off if it reaches a particular temp while charging and wondering if that is what is happening ?
Has anyone here faced the same issue ?
Is anyone here using the wireless charging option extensively and have no issues whatsoever ? If yes, please specific make / brand / setup in use for charging. Also please specify if the phone has been successfully charged say more than 50% on wireless.
Looking forward to discussions on the same.
I don't use wireless charging.. But from what your describing, it might just be time, to purchase a newer one.. I would hate to think, that the Samsung works only with Samsung.. But nothing would surprise me these days..
Bump!
No one using this feature ?

I don't have any issues with it. Are you sure that the power brick is providing enough power. It should provide at least 5V 2amps in order to work. I use the stock brick to power my wireless charger. If it's not that go to a retail store and find a wireless charger to test on.

Appreciate your response. I used my stock g7 adaptor on wireless samsung charging pad. So it is basically pumping out as much as required. Not sure if it is the charging pad which is at fault for not able to handle it maybe ? (Which actually is not its fault?). Pls post details of what setup you are using without any issues. Unfortunately, I havent seen any big retail (or small) advertising or even having wireless charging pads on display for me to walk in and check this out. In India this concept has not caught up and not many are interested in this feature. Many might have the option but still not use the feature.
Your EP-PG920I doesn't support Qualcomm QI charging at all. It doesn't support even new Samsung devices like S8 or S9, it supports S6 and S7 only.
Samsung supported at that time only WPC 1.1 standard and no Qualcomm QI. That's why EP-PG920I isn't full compatible with your LG 7.
I have no problem with QI charging. Use any 15W QI certified fast wireless charger like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H783993/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ZgejCbRN366QD

Much appreciated with the explanation. I guess I have a better understanding of this now. So while it does actually charge it is not the recommended way and the issue faced is because it ultimately breaks midway as not fully supported cause of the limitation. I will give one of the better chargers and the QI certified fast chargers a go.
I use original Samsung Fast wireless charger, model is EP-NG930BBEGWW. Its connected with original Samsung S7 fast charger. This wireless charger work without any problems with S7 Edge, S6, S9+, and G7. In specs: FAST CHARGE (Compatible with Galaxy Note8, S8, S8+, S7, S7 Edge, Note 5, S6 Edge+) / Qi (Compatible with Galaxy S6, S6 Edge and Qi certified devices). Only "problem" with G7 is it charging slow. Very slow - from 5 to 100% maybe 3+ hours. But this is no meaning for me, I charge my phone at night. I read G7 doesn't support fast wireless charging. Here in other thread people said support fast wireless charging, but it isn't.

Just like the case in mine it may be working but not completely. From the specs I see it has a max output of 1000mA that may be the reason for slow charge (i guess)
Yes charging slow but I don't have your problems with charging. Stop or anything else you write. Maybe you have to get other wireless charging pad.

Hey all.
So recently i just purchased S20 with an exynos cpu (since thats the only option in my country). Since this device has a wireless support, i want to try the habit of wireless charging since its more convenient while using on a desk. But thing is, is it okay that everytime there is notification i pick up the phone and put it back again after i finished dealing with it?
Check out this article, it suggests lower Depth of Discharge is better for battery life (and not charging to 100%).
https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
I stopped using wireless charging with my S3 & S4 because the 4 different wireless pads I bought would heat the batteris so much they would swell up and need replacement after about 3 months. Luckily with those old handsets I could easily replace the batteries.
I don't wirelessly charge my S20 for that reason, I use a 1A charger daily or a 2A charger if I'm a bit impatient. I rarely use the 25W charger, only for genuine emergency use.
Hi there!
I just got my G7 Plus minutes ago, yiipppieeh.
On the charger that came with it I read "TurboPower", is this charger Quick Charge able and compatible?
I wonder if I can use this charger with a micro usb adapter with my older BBarry device.
Usually I think they deliver cheaper chargers with their phones that are not Quick Charge capable.
Thanks!

A charger can't send more juice to a device than the device can pull.
If your BB will only pull 2A (and I'm just using this number for an example, I don't know what your BB is rated at) then hooking it to the G7+ charger won't make it charge at 27A - it'll still be 2A.
That said, there's a benefit if your current BB charger is old and not putting out the amperage it used to then the G7+ charger would help.
You'll also need to factor in your micro USB adapter too - cheap ones might limit the amperage because of inefficiency, etc.
For RL experience, my family uses my TurboPower charger for their non-TurboPower phones and they charge normally.
Oh - for your G7+, it'll charge quick until 78% and then charge "normally".
