Charging speed problem. - Realme 7 Questions & Answers

Hi there. My Realme 7 charging very slow. 10-100% 2-3 hours with original charger. I tried another fast charger and the same problem. The phone was returned :-( Someone with the same problem??

When you charge, does it appears VOOC charging?

Did you try the supplied cable? Fast-charge cables have chips in them & there are at least 2 standards, Mediatek VOOC/SuperVOOC & Qualcomm PD/QC. They are fundamentally incompatible (though there are chargers that claim to support both)

So sad to inform you that your device's usb port is mis-functioning and will have to replace it. Even u see it still can charge ( slow ) or have data transfer ( mostly not ) but one 1 the pin inside is damaged so its still function but not fully.

If there are 3 cables, there only rests the socket of your phone or (unlikely) its charging-control. Otherwise: try another cable.
They are without cable.. Samsung travel adapter without usb..
You think the problem is with charger ?
Sorry, I didn't understand. No, it's very unlikely that 3 loaders fail. I supppose it's the socket of your phone or the internal hardware. So let it repair.

HDX 7 charge very slow

Hi all, I have problem with my HDX 7 Unlock BL and Recovery TWRP 3.0.0.
About from ten days up to now, my HDX 7 charge very slow with any charge HTC, Xiaomi, LG (I can not try with original HDX Charge which due to loss it some months ago). I use CM 12.1 dated 10 Jun 16 and also try all CM11 roms. When plug charge to HDX, I check information in Battery section of Setting that has report "charging by USB" but few seconds next change status to "not charging" and again and again.
What is the problem? How can I fix it?
Many thanks any comments.

My kindle charge slow and PC won't detect.
I have the problem that PC can't detect my kindle hdx7. And my tablet charges slowly with wall charger.
This is because one day I charged it with my Quick Charger 2.0. I think that was the reason, and charging circuit has been damaged.
Is it be a real cause?
Does any one has the solution?

Highly doubt the charging circuit is damaged. Nor is it likely a visit with the Quick Charger triggered the anomaly. Far more probable is a problem with the USB cable and/or the USB socket on the HDX. Loose connectors are common especially if care is not taken when plugging/unplugging. Lack of a data connection support this opinion.
Reboot your HDX and try a different USB cable. What is the wall charger rating (should be on the back represented in mAh)? 3rd gen HDX devices can accept charge rates up to 1800 mAH although using a 'stronger' charger won't hurt provided the voltage rating is the industry standard 5V.
Hi
Thanks Davey126
.
I purchased this tab from a local shop. I tested it on shop, everything was fine.
But when I bring home, and I connected it with my Sony QC 2.0 and I observed charging was slow. I ignored it.
Next day I connect with my pc to copy some movies, but computer didn't respond. I tested my tab with different data cables and on another PC, but no success. Then I did Factory reset, but no difference.
.
I went to shop and got exchange the tab. At shop I tested charging, and PC connectivity. Everything was working fine at there.
I got back home, and again connected with my QC 2.0 charger (until then i did not know the cause). This time I see tab show SLOW charging.
I connected to my PC, same issue, no any detection. Tab only show charging when connected to PC. I repeated all possibilities again to resolve the issue.
At last, I assumed that it was because it may be due to miscommunication between device and charger, and maybe 9V damaged the charging circuit of the Tab.

The Quick Charge standard allows for connection to older devices that do not support QC technology. In that case the charger should limit output to 5V as a significantly higher voltage would likely damage the charging circuit. Either the HDX did not communicate its capabilities properly or the charger cranked up the voltage when it should have remained at 5V.
The maximum charge rate for 3rd gen HDX device is ~9 watts (5V x 1.8A). Yet many vendors target this device for 18W+ QC 2.0 chargers that supposedly reduce charge times by 50% (they won't). Despite the faux claims there does not appear to be widespread complains of device damage. It would appear your Sony 2.0 QC charger may be defective.

Thank you for your concern and collect info about HDX7.
I am a little-known of Quick Charger mechanism. "9V or 12V and 5V". QC 3.0, 4 or 4+. [A Quick Charger does not damage a normal 5V device.]
I charge all my home devices with Sony UHC10 quick charger. I think my charger is working normal as I do not see any abnormal behavior of it.
.
I can not find any other reason to damage my Tab.
Now my question is that, "is there any (alternative) way to resolve slow charging, also PC sync.
Thank you again!

Recommend acquiring a 'standard' 5V wall charger with a 2A minimum rating. This will permit your HDX to charge at the maximum rate (~1.8A) assuming the USB cable is in good shape. Performing this test will help determine if the charging circuit in your device is operating properly.
Most computers/laptops can only deliver a fraction of the maximum charge rate: ~0.5A for USB2 ports; ~0.9A for USB3.

After realizing this problem I am using 2.1A branded charger, but still slow charging.
With Ampere app it shows max 280mA (same as UHC10). It means it is charging at standard rate of 500mA.
Changing the cables does not make any difference. (I have ANKER data cable)
THANKS

Anker cables have a solid reputation. That said, I would double check with another cable.
If cable and charger seem ok then it boils down to termination points (USB connections {should be snug}), imbedded charging circuit and/or kernel. There is nothing you can do about the kernel on a stock HDX. Nor can the charging circuit be repaired short of main/daughter board replacement.
Long shot suggestion: fully power down device and restart after 5-10 seconds. This will insure the bootloader/kernel are fully reset.
BTW - info I provided on QC standards and HDX capabilities are primarily from direct experience backed up by supporting documentation. This isn't just theoretical - I have a handful of HDX devices along with numerous USB meters as charging circuit efficiency (and deficiencies) is something of a personal interest.
@Davey126
Thank you very much
And big thumbs up :good:
I'll try it tonight and then update you as earlier as possible.
@Davey126
I drained my tab battery and then recharge it again but no difference. It woke up after 5 minutes. Still very low rate charging. Ampere app shows 280mAh maximum.
Meanwhile I brought my cousin's (same) tab. With 2.1A it shows +1500mAh on Ampere app. I drained it's battery, and when started charging, it was charging normally. Again in Ampere app @ +1500mAh.
.
I do not want to damage it's charging circuit. So I will not connect it with Sony UHC10.
So it is clear that charging circuit is damaged,in my tab.
If I find any solution, I'll share it here. Till then I'll use it by charging whole night (for 6 hours) everyday. Because it takes 6 to 8 hours to charge 100%.
.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Does the M5 have Quick Charge or not?

When I say Quick Charge, I mean proper QC technology, not some "quick" or "fast" charging method unique to Huawei only.
The stock charger says [email protected] or [email protected] QC2 and 3 can do [email protected] However when I put the M5 onto my QC3 charger, it only draws [email protected] as tested with a cable with V/A reading.
Charger and cable had been tested to work at proper QC power with my ZTE Axon 7, drawing 18W and also a Moto G4 Turbo Charging.
The strange thing is, if there is some "special" Huawei only technology on the stock charger, it still charges my Axon 7 and G4 with "standard" QC3. Anyone has been successful charging their M5 on a standard QC2/3 charger?
Only does fast charge when the screen is turned off.
there's also a possibility that your volt/amp meter is blocking the fast charge also.

Tried it with screen on or off, and even with the M5 off, still 10W on a non stock QC3 charger.
Cable definitely works for quick charge because I used the same cable on the stock charger and it reads 18W, so it is not blocking anything.
I use this QC3 charger. I get the dual lightning bolt symbol which I think means fast charge.

Yes, 2 lighting symbol means QCing. However it does not show on my non stock QC charger. My other QC-able devices does on both that charger and the Huawei stock one, strange.
Huawei's fast charge is not part of the Qualcomm's QC standard. However I have found that QC3 is cross compatible with Huawei M5's fast charge.
My 2 cents.
For what its worth, I use this charger:

Cable shouldn't matter for QC and proven not to matter as I used the same random cable (and also the cable with the V/A meter) on this charger and the stock charger. It QC my M5 and Axon 7 on the stock charger but only QC my phone on the Aukey charger.
I have a USB C charger ordered, will see if that works better with the M5.

I had since discovered that Huawei does not use QC standards but their own FCP for fast charge. Some QC chargers have that ability built in, but not all. Time to invest in more chargers I think.
Further update: My charger with USB PD arrived and no, it does not charge the M5 (FCP) nor my Axon 7 (QC3) fast. However the M5 charges off my Tronsmart portable charger with VoltIQ and QC3. I had done a bit of digging around and found (so far) that only Tronsmart make any chargers that can support both standards at the same time from the same port. This is great as it is when I am out and about I will need quick charging most.
Sadly they do not (at the moment) make a charger with, say 2 x QC + VoltIQ ports. It is either 1 x QC + VoltIQ and 4 x normal or 5 x QC + VoltIQ and that one costs a bit too much.

There are many chargers that can QC and FCP at the same time, BUT very few that have 2 or more ports that can do them all at once (or at least FCP+QC on one and QC on the other), just one port and the other one at normal speed. There is a Tronsmart one with 5 ports but it is quite costly.
What happens if you just plug m5 into Google phone usb-c fast charger? Like for my nexus 6p. Slow charging? How much slower? Really want one USB c charger for all my stuff.

Not sure what the nexus comes with. However I had tried it with QC3 charger and a USB C PD charger and both just slow charges. Only Huawei original charger or SOME chargers with VoltIQ can fast charge the M5.
plugging in my USB tester proves that actually it takes a 9v 2a charge from original power adapter and cable. Whilst screen is on also.
I'm looking at various chargers and cables to make use of quick charge, or at least fast charge. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I need a FCP capable charger, and a 5A cable?
Do you think these will work?

I can confirm that you do not need the original cable for FCP charge. I used a USB 3.0 (blue plug) cable that works with QC3 for FCP and this is confirmed by a USB V/A meter.
I think Huawei has their own standard. Some of my QC 2 chargers work, some don't using the same cable.
Frustrating that I can't use my Google phone usb-c charger for fast charging. How much slower is it using non Huawei fast charger? Any ideas?

Huawei FCP is [email protected]=18W or [email protected]=22.5W. Not sure which one our tablet uses, at work cannot check the actual charger. However when plugged into a QC2/3 charger, it charges at [email protected]=10W. Meaning it will be between 80% to 125% more time with a non FCP charger.
Having just picked up my M5 8.4, confirm my PD charger is (apparently) quick charging the device. It says fast charge on the lock screen and I've got the double lightning bolt in the status bar. Score!

Charging only with specific one usb cable

So my phone only charges with one of the usb cable that i have and it is not a branded but a very out of shape cable . ( the left one in white in photo )
It charges very slowly with other cable hardly gives 600 mA. I have pretty good branded cables which charges other phone quite good but not my kenzo
I have tried changing rom, changing kernel ,flashed thermal libs but nothing seems to work.
I also have original sub pcb which was changed due to mic issue and installing that sub pcb is not helping as well.
So what can be the issue ? is it the usb port ?? or is it something else ?
It would be great if someone could help me with this please

Question Charging woes

Help,
I have tried 3 different chargers (1 generic Anker, 1 supplied with Huawei P30 pro, and one supplied with Huawei mediapad tablet. none work
Nor does plugging into USB port on PC. I have tried various different cables to no avail. All cables work to charge P30 pro from its own charger @40 watts.
All chargers and USB port will charge the P30 pro
The only way I can get any juice at all into this bugger is by charging from the P30 pro directly.
I also noticed that the security update that installed last night took forever (roughly 4 hours) during 'optimising apps' phase.
Have tried factory reset too

I've figured out the problem. I have the P30 Pro charger and two Samsung chargers which are all USB A. None of them worked. What did work was a Huawei laptop USB C charger. It seems from reading elsewhere there's a good chance that USB A chargers won't work with the Pixel.
I thought Google hadn't included a charger with the Pixel for environmental reasons. Seems like many people will be forced to buy a new charger for their Pixel, thus defeating the point.

Mine does fast charge from the laptop USB-C connector, or even directly from the laptop power brick. The laptop is an Asus rog x 13 flow. If I am not wrong, in order to fast charge, your source has to support usb pd pps.
I'm sitting at work and my P6 charges just fine with a wall wart and a USB-A to USB-C cord. Not only that, but it's an LG wall wart that I have probably had since my LG G3 days (a long, long time ago). So even old power supplies will work.
If your phone isn't charging from a computer USB port, I suspect it is because of the amount of power being supplied by the laptop over the USB port. It's not a built in limitation of the phone however.

yes, your charger needs to support PD 3.0 PPS charging to get the fastest charging possible on the pixels

what should I see under battery settings?
I see charging rapidly with my 30W charger. The Anker charger reads PPS but I am not entirely sure it's PD 3.
thanks!

PPS is a standard that started with pd 3.0. Your charger is the correct one for fast charging.
so do we have any charger recommendations? the 3 i tried, after processing through AMERE, they are topping out at 15w-18w...
I just posted about one I think should work in another thread, should find out soon if I was right lol
