Does anyone here have certified Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 chargers? How long does your Z3 charge from 0% ti full? what's the brand of your charger. mine is the quick charger from docomo and don't really charges my z3 significantly faster compared to stock charger
Sent from my D6633 using XDA Free mobile app
Anyone else that have any experience with the Quick Charge 2.0 for Sony Z3??
I'm looking into this as it takes the phone forever to charge.
I'm buying the Tenergy charger as I write this.
I have 2 T-Mobile Z3's that I will drain to about 5% both. Plug one into the stock charger, and the other into the "Quick Charge 2.0" charger.
I'll post the results somewhere when I'm finished with this little test.

Thank you! Will be great :good:
Got in the mail today, it definitely charges faster. Phone gets hotter as well.
I'll compare it to the stock one sometime next week when I have time. Busy weekend
Plugged it in at 65 percent, now 25 minutes later I'm at 95%.
I'm actually watching the percentage go up as I'm typing this.
6 minutes after typing this I am at 100%, and the phone is at 106°F. Which is perfectly acceptable in my opinion.
I wouldn't suggest playing any type of cpu/gpu intense game while charging with this however.
I do notice coil whine coming from the charger... I won't be using this to charge over night so I'm not worried about the noise. It's not loud, but coil whine is something extremely annoying to me xD
I'll be using this charger if I need that extra boost. (After work if I have plans for the night etc...)

Hi guys
I'm an iphone 3gs owner at the mo but my contract is up in a week and after doing A LOT of research over the past 3 weeks, i was pretty much decided that the GS2 was gonna be my next phone.
Then i foolishly visited the xda forums! lol (in fairness, it probably still will be my next phone).
But seriously though, setting aside the various issues some people are clearly having (reboots, battery drain, etc) what shocked me the most was hearing about the low-powered charging mechanism (apologies if i've gotten this slightly wrong).
I've heard that it only charges at ~650mah, but that the phone can easily surpass this under load (~850mah?), meaning that you could be charging the phone at the same time as using it, only to find the battery going DOWN. Can someone confirm if this is true? If it is, then i'm gobsmacked that Samsung could make such a c0ck-up. Imagine if you're using the GPS (a real battery hog) while driving (and plugged-in to the ciggy lighter) only to find that the battery dies before you get to your destination! lol. I've heard about the heat this puppy produces, i wonder did they limit the juice to stop it from burning a hole through the floor
Even though i'm bored to t1ts with my iphone (and i hate apple), what i love about it is that when i don't actually use the phone for extended periods of the day (which is quite often, due to work) it still retains it's charge really well (i get insanely good battery life). I would be really annoyed if i found the GS2 battery dropping any more than, say, 30% over the course of a busy working day (say 9am to 7pm) with virtually no use.
So, to finally get to my point! My iphone charges REALLY fast. I'm worried that it will take a stupidly long time to fully charge the GS2. Can some kind person please do an experiment for me, and see how long it takes theirs to fully charge (from fully dead to 100%) with the screen off and the phone not doing anything major in the background?
Also, it would be good to know how this compares to the GS2's competitors.
Sorry for the long post guys!
my phone is at 33% at 8:08
Will let you know how I get on. I have it on charge now
I think mine takes around 3 hours from empty using samsungs supplied charger but I will try to do a test for a more accurate time. How does this compare to the iphone?
Yep mine takes about 3 hours as well from empty to about 90% using the wall charger, then it goes on trickle charge the rest of the way. This is on standby as well.
Yepp takpes about 3 hours to get fully charged. however, i've been using the phone as a wifi hotspot all the time and yes, it increases charging time but it doesn't really matter when it takes so long anyways

65% at 9am
It takes almost 3.5-4 hours to charge it with stock charger from empty to full.
It takes a bit more than 5 hours to charge from empty full using USB charging in my laptop.
Found out the hard way:
Charging with original EU charger AND heavy use (downloading, Wifi tethering, map ops etc.) MADE it drain faster than charging.
Two nights before left it during night with orig. charger and made it in 8 hrs only to 84% while on.
With Hama 0,8 amps charger full in 2hrs from empty and stays full even with heavy work.
NO heat issue though !
Methinks the charger is crap

doesn't really matter which charger. got the nokia 1,2A charger and it takes nearly 3 hours as well to fully charge the battery.
I use my ipad charger with it and its definitely more like 2 hours not 3

if you look thru the battery driver source code, samsung capped the charging at 650 mA it seems. not sure why, other android phones use the full 1 amp.
so samsung either saw a heat problem and lowered it, or that's just the way they do their phones charging. who knows.

Wow, ok. As someone who uses 3G a lot when our internet connection goes down (all too often), I hope the charge will end up keeping up with the battery drain. Otherwise I'll be tempted to change that source and probably end up frying my phone (if it ever gets in stock :|)
Thanks for the info
Guys my SGS2 is taking around 4+ hrs to charge from around 5% left. Is this normal.?
Yep takes 4 hours here too
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
What's the rated output on the wall charger?
I think this is by design as the phone already gets extremely hot when pushing the CPU (gaming etc).
I believe this can eventually be changed with custom rom/kernel.

5v @ 0.7A, by the looks of it this is normal.
thanks for responce peps. Never had a phone that took so long to charge.! Normally about an hour which is why i thought i may have had a problem with the handset.!
S2 stock Optus KE2 with it remained turned on with wifi, email checking etc using Energizer XP8000 battery as power source for charge went from 24% reminaing to 100% charged in ~2hrs. S2 internally seems to limit it to <700mah charge rate.
Find a Iphone4 charger or something similar it will give you 5v @ 1.0A, charges quite a bit faster, I use that at work then the slow .7 at home.
my XP8000 charges at 1000mah but S2 will limit it to 700mah
I think you could charge the battery alone in a dock. There it should load with the full 5V and 1ah..

Anywhere you can back this up? I seem to have faster results using a 1.0 vs .7, showing that it is getting more power.
It's been mentioned a few times across various forums. But i'm just going by my experience.
It also takes me around 4 hours to fully charge from below 5% battery. However, if I turn the phone off whilst it charges, goes slightly quicker. Obviously.
Hi,
I think the recharging time is quiet normal for such a phone (and battery).
I had to charge the battery of a friend's phone these days with my notebook.
And it took some hours from 30%. (HTC DHD)
About the same for my SGSII.
I think thats normal.
what would we do without electricity?
Dead phone that is fully discharged battery phone off stock charger to 100%
sub 3 hours .

Changed handset yesterday. today charged new phone from 5% and it took 3hrs 4mins. So it looks like i may have had either a dodgy charger or batt.
I am charging with supplied charger(5V / 0.7A) ...
During the charging I turn off my phone but the charging time is still 3-4h -.-
Hey guys
we know that sony claims the SXS will fully charge in 45 min
however so far mine needs about two hours to fully charge, and many other people confirmed this
while there are some people say it charge fast
so let us get to the bottom of this
who can confirm that his device charges in 45min ? and is the charger similar to the old sony-erricson chargers? or is it a new Sony branded super charger?
is it software related? that can be solved with the ICS , or it's the charger that matters
I think it does indeed charge fast, It just takes a few days for the battery to kick in I think.
There was a post from someone about it, and after a few days it does indeed pick up with charging.

that's what I thought at the begining and some people said that
but what made me confuesed is that other people relate the super charging to the new charger !
where some others ( like me ) got the old charger which is even branded as ( sony erricsion !)
so in a few days I will reply back if the charging speed has changed or not

yes have the same impression
Got mine XS last night ran the battery down 1%, full charge took 3 hrs this morning. Although it said 100% I powered off the phone and carry on charging until battery gauge showed complete charge.
from the articles and reviews I read... my understanding is that from a depleted battery it would charge up to 80% in 30 minutes and then slow down and charge the remaining 20% at a normal pace. This was to not cause damage to the battery by going to full charge at the fast pace.
Cheers

Correct. And this is using the new "Fast charger" Sony bundled with the S, which gives an output amperage higher than standard USB.
With the "old" charger it takes a lot longer to charge.
My charger output: 5.0 vdc, 850 mA, same as motorola charger.
My XS charger outputs less than my HTC charger. Charging from 10% to full on the latter takes over 3 hours so how does this super charging work?
Please take a look on this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545002
They're mentioning that it's possible to receive two different chargers in Xperia's S box: EP800 and EP850. They're completely different chargers, and have very different outputs.
EP800 has output of 850mAh, and EP850 has an output of 1500mAh.
For those with 'super charging' available, could you please confirm which one is the charger you have received? Those that are charging slowly, which one you got there?
Would be nice to know that. Unfortunally, no one posted on the 'What did you get in your Xperia S Box?' thread which one was the charger model shipped with their boxes.
I think this was one of the 'selling points' for Xperia S, so this should be available to all...

EP800 here - bought from Expansys.

But there was a extra screen protector in the box, and regarding the smart tags, sony denmark has announced that they will send it to the one who has bought the phone. But the missing super charger is almost cheating, as it has been mentioned many places as a feature of the phone.

Got the charger yesterday put my phone on it last night before bed. This morning wake up it is only at 85%. That's the first thing and I have seen some reviews about this one and others doing the same thing. My battery life I was getting about 16 to 18hr a day of battery life. Basically when I get home from work I am about 60 to 50 % everyday. I have been flashing roms and dealing with battery life and stuff for years. Today I did not even make it home before it was dead. Now I downloaded a battery recalibration app and I am going to try that to see if that gets my battery back the way it was. It Sucks because I was so excited to get this charger. I don't know what the deal is. I emailed the seller on eBay waiting to hear back from them. Proof? I can't screen shot my battery use cause I have charged and took it off and back on today so many times. I will tomorrow and see what happens. Guess I will just have to order a different one.
From the photographs, that charger looks identical to the Itian A6 (it's even called "A6").
I have two of the Itians and they both work perfectly (my only complaint is that they will only charge the Nexus 6 in Portrait, not in Landscape).

Its possible but the battery had a built in safety so it won't overheat and cause damage. I have used a qi charger every night since I bought my Nexus 6 in November and I've had 0 issues. I use a TYLT VU and or LG WCD-100 and still get excellent battery life. The only thing that I could think of is if the battery massively overheated for a long period it could result in reduced capacity but even then it's not instantaneous. A battery fixer app is worthless and won't help fix any issues with it so I wouldn't bother with one. It could be more than one thing contributing to what you are claiming and using the charger could just be a coincidence.
I'm not saying it's not possible however l am saying it's likely that there's more than one contributing factor. I would use the phone and run a battery monitoring app (check the battery life OP in the general section for more details) and see if there is anything causing it.

So generally speaking is it the charger or the phone that terminates the charging due too high temps?

Ok so this is the deal I tested it over and over. When my phone gets to 100% the charger cuts off. When my phone charges on the wireless charger it kills my deepsleep. So in other words once I hit 100% it rapidly starts going down. Then the charger kicks on again then off on off on. I took the phone off the charger and sat it on the table I did not touch anything. Within 10min I was at 95%. I put it back on the charger it got to 100% I took it off rebooted my phone then I got deepsleep? I don't know why it is killing my deepsleep?

Well that is typical behavior and not your phone overheating from the charging like the post you quoted. Qi chargers do not trickle charge like a USB charger so they do exactly what you're describing.

I never said my phone was overheating. I said it only charged to 85% and it broke my deepsleep. No deepsleep drains your battery fast. That's the problem. So if I put it on there at night before I go to bed (which is why I bought it) all night it will go on and off.

Your phone will never truly fully discharge the battery (safety measure) it has to save enough to shut down properly. So that is part of it... I don't know if the cradle is set up to fast charge either... I doubt it, considering the phone should last longer than four hours any way. I'm happy to have a FREE extra battery, and cradle... It charges the battery, that's all I'm really looking for... I you are unhappy with it, I suppose you could send it back...

No such thing is happening. Please do not spread misinformation.
It charges slower than the phone because it does not have Quick Charge, it's a very simple charger. Label says it puts out 1.6A at 4.4V, which means the battery probably charges at about 1A on average. Charging is never 100% efficient and charging does not progress in a linear fashion, it slows down past 80% to near-trickle, otherwise the battery would overheat.
Chargers don't discharge batteries to charge them. This isn't 1990 and our battery isn't NiCad.
I just don't know why they're calling it a cradle. You're not resting your device on it. Those are cradles, this is a battery charger.
THIS is a cradle: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ue&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_2&smid=A1LWHYTZATVG8I
However, this thread is otherwise interesting, I've used my battery charger for a few cycles, meh, it charges my spare battery overnight.
I know this is an older thread, but what's the experience with this cradle? I just got a used V10 on Swappa with this cradle and it does seem like it's taking a while to charge. I have no problem with how long it's taking, but I need to know if it's defective so I can do something about it on Swappa.

It doesn't have fast charging like the phone itself... It's fine.
Common sense isn't all that common
