there have been a few discussions about how hot the prime AC adaptor gets, I just measured a consistent 50c temp on the top of mine. I tried a little experiment with a couple of old Pentium heat sinks that I zip tied on either side. while it still cycles up to around 45c it generally stays around. 40c now.
Honestly, call Asus and have them send you a new one. Mine works just fine and doesn't heat up. Those that are have some form of defect. Even if you can fix it, you shouldn't have to.
Mine heats up about as much as my iPhone charging brick does. Sure it gets hot, but I don't think its an issue.
On my old TF101, the power brick heated up so much that it stopped working. The only way to fix that was put it in the freezer for 45 mins before it would work again.
Mine stays cool all the time. If you're is hitting 50* you could quite justifiably
ask Asus to replace it.

My adapter also gets quite hot when charging..one workaround for me was to switch off the prime and then charge it.. sure its a bit inconvenient, however by doing so, the adapter does not get hot..
Just try this option out and check if it works for you...
cheers
I seems that when the tablet and dock are both depleted the charger cranks up to recharge. If I get it plugged in with only the dock low, but not depleted the charger is cooler.

Is yours 220v? If so, I would expect it to run cooler than 110v. Half the amps for the same wattage.

Just a quick point:
Half the amps yes; but that only accounts for a very small portion of the overall power dissipation in the brick. Primary winding conduction losses will be reduced, with a slightly higher core loss induced in the transformer... maybe this is too small of a point to consider, at least it's some interesting reading material?...

Bottom line is 220v is going to be more efficient than 110 (less heat).

half the amps in but unless the prime itself charges at double the voltage as it does in North America then it will be the same voltage/current leaving the charger.

I leave my charger plugged into the wall pretty much 24/7. I know I should unplug it but rarely remember and it never is what I would consider hot compared to many other chargers, just warm.

I have two Rezound stock batteries but its funny because they have different specs. Is there a scientific way by using the specs to tell whice battery would provide better battery life?
I would think the once on the left since it has 6.15 Whr and the right has 5.99 Whr.

then i really dont understand because i would assume the lower Whr would lead to longer battery life because its using less power and the VDC (volts DC i assume) is also .1 higher. There has to be a fomula that can explian this

I run two batteries as well using an external lithium ion charger.. the on that originaly came with my phone was the 3.8 it gives terrible battery life.. I actually took it to Verizon and asked to switch it out for a 3.7 as the person I talked to knew about the problems with tje 3.8 he switched it right out no problem, no paper work, I was in The store all of 1min on a Friday afternoon mind you.. from what I've read the 3.8 doesn't sync properly with ICS so the life, and drain were significantly worse than that of the 3.7.. just my two cents..

And not to bite on ya.. but to be more precise the 3.8 or .7 is the amounts of volts the battery outputs as it is a lith-ion not a cell battery it puts out a constant 3.x until full discharge.. the 1620mAh is the amount of total energy the battery can hold at a full charge.

This answer describes the mAh but doesnt help when talking about the VDC and Whr. Both batteries are 1620mAh but one battery has a VDC and Whr of 3.8 and 6.15 respectively. The second battery clocks in at 3.7 and 5.99 respectively.
Hi friends!
I'm not an expert, but to me, this seems very strange. I understand that the Redmi Note 4 supports fast charging, but how fast is that actually and how does it work? For example, with the stock charger which is 5V and 2A, my phone from 1% to 100% is charged in about 1 hour and few minutes. The battery is 4100mAh , so for the stock charger it would take approx. 2 hours (plus-minus). Can anybody explain to me how the hell is my phone charged in around 70 minutes? In the different roms, there were different charging times, actually longer. Now with the AOSP custom rom, my phone is fully charged in around 1 hour. Not that i'm complaining, i'm just curious.
That's an interesting question.
I always have known it to be:
>4100maH Battery
>Charging at 2A
Therefore:
4.1AH / 2A = 2.05 hours

Math, the Queen
Fast charging depends on processor capability. Redmi note 4 have 625 SD processor which supports quick charge 3.0. If you go for higher end phones with 8XX Snapdragon processor they have quick charge 4.0 , it will even take less time to charge. You can google about the science behind this, but to the best of my knowledge quick charge 3.0 passes higher current minimizing resistance during charge process. One small detail you can notice, fast charging charges battery upto 80% pretty faster & after that speed of charging slows which is needed to prevent battery from exploding. Almost all fast charging adv says "0-80% in xyz miniutes", hardly anyone advertise 0-100% in xyz mins.
Could you mention, which rom are you using?
as far as i know, 625 supports QC 3
but xiaomi didn't activate it in the kernel hence only QC 2 is working...
Are you getting the same 10 hours of SoT in 1 full charge?
If yes, then what ROM / Kernel you're on?
People are here in this forum randomly talk about SOT & VULCAN API i highly appreciate if anyone explain... Thanks
SoT: Screen on Time, the time you can use your phone with the screen is active e.g. watch a video, text someone...
There is a difference between between SoT and Standby time. You can have a SoT of 12 hours while you carry your phone around 2 days.
Vulkan API: I refer to Wikipedia : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulkan_(API)
Very fast!!
Could you please share Rom and Kernel version ?
Yes my battery also charges quite fast on stock Miui rom & the charging graph looks quite straight up but not as fast as turbo charging of moto. Though I never reached below 53% yet because my screen on usage per day on average is 6.30hrs and I get it there by 53%
One thing I'd like to know if it's for everyone.
As I power on the charger connecting to the phone it generates some hiss sound. Listen up closely.
But if I power on charger without connecting phone then there is no such sound.

I am so sorry to tell you, you forgot that the 2A are connected to 5V input -> 10W
The battery is a "BN41" with 4.4V and min 4.0Ah and 15.4Wh -> in theory 15.4Wh / 10W ~ 1.5h with a power factor of 100, but there will be loss as heat is generated during the charging. In order to charge the battery a BMS(either by the SoC or added circuit) is required, which will produce a loss of usable power, hence the higher charging time.
The out of the box charger of my Redmi Note 4 Global is a EU charger rated 5V 2A but never goes above ~1.3A+/-1% (meassured with a Keweisi KWS-10VA USB tester).
A 5V 1.5A USB(*1) and a 5V 8A USB(*6) power supply gives ~1.45A and my 5V3.1A car charger (2xUSB with alternating display for voltage, current and temperature) delivers a bit over 2A.
I read in reviews (cannot remember where) that the Xiaomi US charger for the Redmi 4x SD delivers a higher current, even when connected to 230V.
To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
my phone takes a long time to charge using the standard Zuk charger, I use the Motorola turbo charger and it's much faster, full charge in 1h

first your ZUK Z2pro must be rooted and install an app called "镧·系统工具箱"。

just try this config for fast charging while screen is on it boosted from 0.4 to 1.3A minimum. place it in /vendor/etc or /system/etc depending on your firmware (treble or non-treble), backup old file first and rename this .txt to .conf
requires root!
p.s. will also make gpu throttling go less, so will reduce lags in pubg

no, it doesn't affect battery life at all. has nothing to do with it.
STANDARD DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any damage caused to your phone or loved ones.
MUST HAVE ROOT.
The PROBLEM:
This mod is for phones that throttle heavily and lag during charging / heavy use/ gaming. Seems like it affects people on stock-based roms rather than AOSP/lineage based roms since the thermal file is deleted/edited already. Switching kernels does not help the throttling at all. Using any kernel or cpu app (EX kernel, kernel aduitor), you should see that the cpu freqs throttle down to 652mhz on the small cluster and 1036mhz on the big cluster when charging or after heavy use. The throttling isn't caused by thermals since the CPU temps and battery temps are well within acceptable levels (below 50 degrees cpu and below 25 degrees battery).
Seems like the only reason LG does this is to prolong battery life rather than keeping performance at acceptable levels.
The second issue is the SLOW charging when your screen is on. Ampere reports a maximum charging rate of ~300mah when charging (qc3 or regular) before the mod. This mod will increase it to ~1000mah when screen on (I'm unsure how to increase it further). Screen off charging is unaffected and is still Quick Charge.
THE FIX:
Download my "thermal-engine-8996.conf" file here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0W3xXHgfOxvLUpKNWhrWDE0TDg/view?usp=sharing
Use a root explorer.
Backup your old one in root/system/etc (or just rename it to thermal-engine-8996.conf.bak).
Put the new one in root/system/etc
Edit: apparently it downloads as a .txt file so change it back to .conf
Change permissions to rw-r--r--
Restart and enjoy lag free charging + increased charging speed!
This will make your device slightly hotter and possibly less battery life during heavy use but that's a given.
Thermal throttling is NOT affected (CPU speeds still throttle after 80 degrees with my testing)
Flashing rom updates WILL overwrite the file so you will need to replace it again.
Different versions:
Reduced charging speed (to 600mah) when screen on (To reduce heat): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7VVzSKFTGVkNHBnWXNYY2JJdEU/view?usp=sharing
Reduced max speed (to 1824mhz) but kept 1000mah charging when screen on (should reduce heat when doing intensive tasks): https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7VVzSKFTGVkWjlnUF84SDc0N0k
Reduced charging speed (600mah) + max speed (1824mhz) to reduce heat even more and will still help reduce lag:https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7VVzSKFTGVkV2ZoTU1sS2YtOUk/view?usp=sharing
What I did:
Under [KRYO_SS] in the conf file, I edited the "device_perf_floor" value to 2150000 instead of the stock 1036800. This will cause the phone to never throttle below 2150mhz big cluster and 1593mhz small cluster when charging/heavy use. If you are using an kernel that supports overclocking, this value can be set higher (to your max big cluster mhz). The small cluster mhz will automatically scale up since there's no value for it anyways. I think this entire section is just to save battery life as I see no other benefit from throttling when you're charging (when temps are low). Honestly, you can probably delete the whole section under [KRYO_SS] and it'll keep it at max mhz but I rather have some control over it.
For increased charging speed when screen on, I edited the values under [CHG_MONITOR]. I also deleted the entire [PA_MONITOR] and [LCD_ON_MONITOR] section. This increases the charging speed to ~1000mah from ~300mah but I can't seem to increase it further when screen on. Might be due to another setting I haven't found yet.
I also increased the GPU clocks to decrease throttling but I haven't found GPU throttling to be a problem at all before the mod so this probably won't affect performance.
The only other phone I have found that has the same thermal conf file is the LG G5 thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/help/reduce-gpu-thermal-throttling-help-t3471510
Seems like they were doing it for the GPU throttling however.
Let me know if anyone is having issues with this mod or wants to implement it in their rom

If you use a cpu monitoring app (cpu-z or kernel aduiter), you will see the cores don't throttle when you have the phone plugged in after applying the mod. Ampere will also report a maximum charge rate of about 1000mah when screen on.

Lol! I call it "my charger on steroids" mod.... Good job! ?
I just want to make a point that if you are doing this mod it is highly advisable to switch to a QC 3.0 charger for your battery to maintain its lifetime. One of the reasons that this was put into place is because QC 2.0 pushes a LOT of voltage to the device to quick charge it when the screen is off and the phone is idle because there will be less overall heat generated in the device (which LG wants to avoid after the bootloop situation it can't seem to get out of). QC 3.0, which the v20 is capable of using, charges faster and cooler than its 2.0 counterpart and will be easier on your battery lifespan. A QC 3.0 charger is more efficient overall and should be going on sale soon because QC 4.0 is on the way/out now with the new Samsung devices.
And yes, you can swap this battery out if the first one won't hold a charge anymore, but the longer you keep the first one the later you have to pay for the second one (assuming you keep the phone that long). Also, you do not want the components to bake in case the v20 uses the same manufacturing technique as the 5x did.

I just want to make a point that if you are doing this mod it is highly advisable to switch to a QC 3.0 charger for your battery to maintain its lifetime. One of the reasons that this was put into place is because QC 2.0 pushes a LOT of voltage to the device to quick charge it when the screen is off and the phone is idle because there will be less overall heat generated in the device (which LG wants to avoid after the bootloop situation it can't seem to get out of). QC 3.0, which the v20 is capable of using, charges faster and cooler than its 2.0 counterpart and will be easier on your battery lifespan. A QC 3.0 charger is more efficient overall and should be going on sale soon because QC 4.0 is on the way/out now with the new Samsung devices.
And yes, you can swap this battery out if the first one won't hold a charge anymore, but the longer you keep the first one the later you have to pay for the second one (assuming you keep the phone that long). Also, you do not want the components to bake in case the v20 uses the same manufacturing technique as the 5x did.

Hmm interesting. Yeah the thought of restricting the voltage to prevent any heat build up at all came to mind. I still think they overdid it with the throttling to the point where it is unusable when charging.
The thermal file can be edited so it throttles a bit or halfway which I explained in the op if anyway is worried about the heat.
