I just got my C5 Ultra Dual 3 days ago... and the main disappointment of this phablet is the battery. Because the battery drains really fast, so i have to charge it twice a day. Actually it doesn't really matter, but this phone really have a super sloooow charging. When i checked the desktop charger, it only give 850 mAh output (meanwhile other phones' official charger alreade give 1,5-2 A output).
I'm thinking of buying Sony EP881 Fast Charging (1,5A output), does it really charges C5 faster?
or do you know any other "faster" charger that compatible for our C5?
Thank you
Using an old note 3 2amp charger, makes it charge faster, but would also like to know re ep881
I tried to charge using my old Zenfone 5 charger (1.35A) and it is indeed faster, my friend's Z1 also charges faster.
But when I use my iPad Air charger (2.4A) it's slow just like the desktop charger (850 mA).
So yeah because of this mixed results, I'd also like to know how fast it would charge with the EP881.

Oh dear. There are two options.
1 - Try returning the phone to the nearest Sony dealer. Show the original receipt which will show the device is new and still under warranty. Hopefully they can resolve the issue.
2 - Sony may ask you to return it to the shop where it was bought. Unfortunately you may have to return it to the shop you bought it from in Dubai Airport. They will most likely send the unit off to Sony for repair or replacement.
That said, try option 1, much more convenient. Hopefully they can solve your problem without having to mess about returning it to the original shop which happens to be in another country! Otherwise you may even have to ship the item along with the receipt to the shop. Once they receive the unit they will advise you on what they will do and how long it will take for it to be fixed/replaced. Once that has been completed, they will need to ship it back to you.
Either way, good luck and let us know what happens!
Bought this phone when I was in Thailand when I killed my Nexus 6 by walking into the ocean while it was in my pocket..lol. Anyways, the phone is slow at charging, not like my Nexus 6 which takes only 15 mins to charge fully. I switched to the Motorola Nexus 6's turbo charger and my C5 is charging A LOT faster. Standard charging is 5V @1.6A, Turbo 1 is 9V @ 1.6A, and Turbo 2 is 12V @ 1.2A. Not sure if the C5 is a Turbo charging enabled device but it's definitely charging way faster than the stock charger.

I've used my old Samsung charger that came with my old s4 and the charger puts out 5.0v at 2amps. And I used it on the original z ultra and I tested it on my new c ultra and it works great however I have realized that these particular phablets really don't charge that fast and from my experience they never have but they are at best average when it comes to charging. Oh by the way I also have the original Sony charger u s version and I see vary little differents in the amount of time it takes to charge
But will it damage the battery or affect the battery life if we use a 2A-5V charger??

Are u sure charger giving 1.5-2A output if used with c5 ultra will not harm the phone

Not at all.
I use various chargers (Anker, Samsung, LG, Apple) and all of them work better than original, but you should leave the phone idle when charging.

The phone charges on maximum ampere it can take (~2A) no matter the charger is 100A as long as the output stays 5V.
Yes but what will happen if we use the phone while charging. Please tell the consequences

I played Candy Crush Saga when charging. The phone can be hot but it doesn't make your hands uncomfortable.
What happens if we change charger means sometimes use 2A charger, sometimes 1A or 1.5A
The amp rating on chargers are the max it can output. It doesn't mean it has to output that. Your phone's charge circuitry will control the current it actually draws. So there is absolutely no danger to use a higher amperage charger with your phone. However, I found that no matter what charger I use, including those rated up to 2.4A, the C5 is very slow to charge. It takes a lot longer to charge compared to any other phone I've had in the past. I'm going to get a current monitoring device to check actual current draw.
A side note: avoid REV (sold on BestBuy) external battery because the phone refuses to charge while Asus 10050mAh and TSST 5Ah and 10Ah external battery charge fine.

In my case, if the battery is 5% or less, it'll take around 3 1/2 hours to charge. However, should the battery be 25-30% it'll just take around 2 hours to fully charge...
Hi guys. i am going to buy this device(non dual) and i saw some comments about device's chargin speed. They say it charges very slow and it drains pretty quick. i wondered if i can use 2A charger to make it quick or does it use 2A or 1A charger? Cause i dont want to wait longer until it fulfills the battery. I got 2A charger from my old phone.
some 2A chargers charge faster but some don't ,i dont know why .the device come with 850mah charger that takes about 4 hours for full charge
I'm currently using a genuine Samsung Travel charger that gives out 2.1a fast charge output. I can fully charge my C5 Ultra in around 2 hours...
I saw a charger from sony that it is 2.1A but they say it damages the device. I know that it will possibly hurt battery life so does it worth it?
Hello I wonder if I can use this charger on my phone without poblemas ? because the original charger takes many thanks AUKEY QUICK CHARGER 4V/9V/12V

The C5 Ultra doesn't support quick charge. I'm pretty sure it'll work, but only on 5V, no faster than normal charger.

My Umi Z battery has expanded and so I replaced it. Others have reported the new battery fails again after about a month or so. Is it the charger? USB safety tester reports 12 v on my charger! Could members test their charger as this might be the source of the battery expansion and poor performance issue? EDIT - friends charger reports 5v.
As I said in the umidigi forum:
The fast charger will make your phone's battery life shorter. Since I bought my z pro I had used my fast charger only for emergency situations, normally I use a 2A standard charger for Samsung phones (3h untill full).
If you read about the fast charger (Pump express) you'll notice that it pumps more power by operating at 9v and 12v.
Best regards,
Lincoln.

Hello guys, So I bought an almost new Honor View 10 from someone and they gave me the phone with a Samsung Adaptive Fast Charger and not the Huawei one. It works when I plug it except I noticed 2 things:
1) The phone stops charging few seconds after I log into the phone and start using it.
2) Battery duration was fantastic at first, said 2 days x hours left at 100% charge, now it says about 1 day x hours left.
The output on the charger is 9V 1.67A or 5V 2A. I have charged the phone about 4 or 5 times since getting it. So what do you guys think ? Is this charger ok and I should keep using it( i.e It wont ruin my battery) or should I spend some money and buy a Huawei one?
Thanks !
I rather prefer the original one, to prevent thigs like is happening to you
I don't think Super Charge will work with the Samsung charger.
Samsung's Adaptive Charger won't work as quick charge on view10, it will only charge the phone at the rate of 5v 2a.
