Question for anyone that can answer... - T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers

I'm using a quick charge 3.0 car charger in my truck and ampere is saying I'm getting a max of 1020mah out of it. I tried another usb c cable and the same thing. My Note 5 I had a while ago charged way faster on quick charge 2.0. This is pathetic how slow this thing charges and it's barely keeps the phone alive when I have to use my GPS. So many other phones with quick charge 3.0 are getting another 1000 or more mah out of the chargers. Can anyone else confirm that it's charging this slow on their phones too, and yes I've even started the charge really low like in the 30-40% range.

The house one that LG gives you is useless, tried it and it's slow as heck and overheats. I use my nexus 6 charger and it charges real fast. eventually I'll get nicer car and house chargers. I have a quickcharge 2.0 charger in my car and it does an okay job...when it's low....like 30 percent...it gets up to like 50...60 percent in like 20 min.

I should say also...when i mean low...30 is just an example..i've had it at like 10 percent and still charge up to 50/60 inside the 20 min car ride to home or a bar or whatever.

I have this car charger:

And in my 40 minute commute streaming music over bluetooth and occasional GPS (for traffic) my phone goes from 45% to 95-100%.
With the G5 and the QC in it, I really only charge on my commute.

Can you guys do me a favor, is there any way you guys can drain your devices and show me in ampere what you're getting with the wall chargers and car chargers you have? If you're getting the same charging rates then I'm not crazy lol

Hi,
Take a look at my thread here regarding qc2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3358220
Also I recommend using battery monitor widget to log your charging amperage. If you're turning the screen on to check the amperage, you're already doing it wrong. Amperage will drop dramatically with the screen on.

The $.99 Rudypoo cig lighter adapters won't work with new charge cables. Oh my bad, they will work, but not charge like 3.0.

car chargers

I know this is a bad subject to bring into discussion but notice the S4 charger for the wall charger charges faster I bought a generic car charger for my last phone and it couldn't even keep up with the charge if I was using the GPS...... Any idea what a good car charger brand is or even Samsung makes for for the S4? I really would like a nice car charger that won't screw things up with my phone thanks all if you can just put your input if not thats ok too...
i bought this http://www.amazon.co.uk/MOFREDĀ®-Mic...sr=1-1&keywords=samsung+galaxy+s4+car+charger should be good
The Motorola with the blue light, pn SPN5400A.
I am also looking for a car charger that quickly charges the battery like the stock wall charger. I went from 1% to 50% in around 45 minutes with the stock wall charger the other day.
Try to find a 2000mA (2A) car charger

get at least a 2 amp charger @ OP

Is there a way within the UI to see how much charge the phone is getting? I have a generic USB car charger and I want to know if it's .5, 1, or 2 amps.
Generally I'm happy if I can use Google Maps navigation on a charger without losing any battery % but it would still be nice to know if I'm getting the fastest charge possible.

Generic car chargers, usually offers 700mah or 1000mah for the most.
It seems that getting 2000mah charger is the only good solution.

I have the same one. Works great.
Just keep in mind battery monitor widget does a best guess calculation on Samsung devices because Sammy refuses to put the code in that reports the actual current. Back on GB on my Captivate one of the roms had the code and it was nice but Samsung in its infinite wisdom deems it more important to include 500MB of bloat and omit this tiny important driver.

Can someone recommend a car charger that I can buy in the UK that can charge the S4 reliably at 2A? I tried a few so-called 2A chargers, but they are only able to deliver 1.1A (as measured by the Galaxy Current App), while the wall charger delivers 1.9A.

Pleomax is apparently a subsidiary company of Samsung, so I'm expecting compatibility/functionality to be good.
I ordered the following holder to go with it too, from the same manufacturer and seller, its currently in the same shipment as the charger:

Just to point out.... While you do need a 2A+ charger, the cable also plays a huge factor. I've measured anywhere from 460mA to 1900mA depending on the cable plugged into it.

Wireless charging.. Good or bad?

So I figured a wireless charger will prevent my otterbox from stretching out and all. What ive found to be a pain in the ass compared to all videos ive seen. Every one people just throw the phone on top. Comes on charging. My phone complains for me to center the circle on the screen with the dot in the center of my QI charger.
Anybody else notice this? Or is the droid maxx just a pain in the ass to wireless charge?
I think it's a good idea. This is the reason I bought the Palm Pre

Hi, I think there are a couple of technical specs being quoted.
. . . my s4 stock charger charges at 2 amps a second . . .
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think you meant the charger rating is 2 amps. Battery has a rating of amp/hr, but not chargers. They are only rated at amps. E.g., if a battery is rated at 60 amp/hr, and it is flat, to fully-charge using a 2 amp charger it will take about 30 hrs (30 * 2 = 60). That's only theoretical because other factors take into play: the condition of the electrolyte, the physical condition of the battery, the performance of the charger, ambient temperature and humidity, etc.
. . . the wireless charger only charges at around .5 amps so instead of taking around 2 hours to charge it would take around 5 hours. . .
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If charging at 2 amps take 2 hours, then charging at 0.5 amps will take 8 hrs (2.0 / 0.5 * 2 = 8)
In the above examples, I am assuming that the battery and charger Voltage rating is the same.
Just clarifying.
I want a spot in my car where you set your phone and it wirelessly charges while playing your music via bluetooth and doing calls/texts via bluetooth and voice. Set your phone there when you get in the car and it is fully powered, charging, and ties into everything. It needs some mechanism to keep the phone there (some sort of clamp?) and be positioned well for GPS usage.
Wireless charging will be awesome once there is a standard and it starts getting built into things like that.

Think of it as a transformer with the primary and secondary coils not firmly attached to each other. It's no more dangerous than any AC adapter. Of course, if they decided to make these chargers to work at a distance, there might be some risk. (shades of Tesla!)

I totally agree, there should be thorough study on the electromagnetic waves not affecting the memory cards and the volatile storage inside the phone... might result in data loss?

Impressed with Qualcomm Fast Charge 2.0

Thought I'd give my thoughts on the Qualcomm Quick Charger 2.0.
Just received the HTC One M9 yesterday.
After a full charge with the stock charger, I had it running for 13 hours without charging.
Woke up this morning and noticed that it had dropped to 34% so I decided to try the Qualcomm Quick Charger 2.0.
Wow! Impressed how fast it went to 100%! Actually I had my doubts about it going 60% in 30 minutes, but it does seem legit.
In my opinion, it is worth well purchasing, specially if you suddenly find yourself with no power left and in need of charging it fast!

I got the CHOE brand Quick charge and it is indeed very impressive. What Ticks me off is that's the charger that should have been in the box with the M9. That's poor of HTC to flaunt a much better charger on their website after shipping out the normal ones to their loyal customers.

I don't have the M9, but from unboxing videos it looks like HTC included the Quick Charge 1.0 charger with the phone. Looks very similar to the one that came with the M8. But I agree, with the M9, HTC had NO excuse not to include a Quick Charge 2.0 charger.
I was wondering if you guys knows if the actual charger of my Nexus 6, could be compatible with the HTC One M9 ?
As it's not included in the M9's Box... If i can keep my actual one, that'll be great !
I've bought this charger too, very happy with it! Charged +88% in 68 minutes

How long it takes to charge from 0~100 ? less than 2 hours ?
My phone said 5 more minutes till full charge when I unplugged it and made the screenshot in the previous post, so I guess full charge from 0 to 100% will take less then one and a half hour. I'll give it a try soon.

Just so everyone knows, fast charging a Lithium batter would work best going from 0 to 70-80% any more than that the battery charges really slow, that's just how chargers are designed for lithium tech.
Example, from 0% if the charger is giving out 2Amps, then as soon as it reaches a high point of 80% the power output goes down from 2Amps to around 1Amp, and so on it keeps declining as the battery get higher.
Does this work with any good quality micro USB cable?
Quick Charge with Verizon phone?
Has anyone with a VZW M9 had any great success with a quick charger? And if so, what have you used?
I have the Tenergy Fast Charger, and it is faster than the charger that came with the phone, but it's definitely not super fast. We're talking just slightly over 1% per minute.
This makes me wonder if Verizon has somehow limited quick charging with this phone such that any charger I try is going to be met with limited success or if I should indeed try a different charger.
Is anyone else having trouble getting the fast speed? I have a T-Mobile variant and it seems to be only getting about 1% per minute as well. At 60% charge, it estimates that there is about 50-60 minutes remaining to completion.

Same here, with both Samsung adaptive fast charger and Motorola quick charger from a nexus 6. No idea why, but after using an s6 that charged extremely quickly, it's a little confusing.
I wonder if some of the carrier variants that received the update had the QuickCharge 2.0 functionality disabled. I've tried the Aukey, Anker, Getwow and Onite chargers and they all are not charging at the rated spec.
Quick charge is neat, but it's also destructive for the battery. 95% of the time my phone is only on charge over night, so no need for speed there. I'd rather it have the regular charger for the overnight charge, and maybe having a quick charger for on the go situations.

Aukey Car Charger Not QC 3.0 as Advertised

Update 7th May 2016:
I've tested the replacement but it isn't the same model, the new one has 1 QC 3.0 + 1 IQ port instead of the original 2x 3.0. It's this one
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01ALQWQFO/
This one is performing as I'd expect from 3.0 with multiple voltages between 5v & 9v & 1A with screen on whatever the temp.
They have now amended the product description of the original to highlight incompatibility with LG G5.
Update 3rd May 2016:
Quick update. I have been contacted by the seller & they say that, whilst the charger does meet QC 3.0 certification, they have identified that the "PD" chip is incompatible with the LG5. They have a new version they are sending me that should rectify this. I'll post an update once I've tested.

AUKEY Quick Charge 3.0 Car Charger 36W Dual Ports for LG G5, HTC One A9, Nexus 6, iPhone, Samsung S7and more (Includes 1 Meter Micro USB Cable) - Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01B5X35FM/
It says QC 3.0 on the charger but it is actually 2.0
Measured with an online voltage meter, it is only charging my LG G5 with 9v whereas my other QC 3.0 chargers output around 6v. Now this won't make much difference with screen off, with both charging at similar 3A rate, but when screen on, the 3.0 chargers output 1A but this only manages 0.3-0.6 depending on device temperature, exactly the same behaviour as other QC 2.0 chargers I have.
If you've bought 1 & it says 9v ish on a volt meter or you don't get 1A when screen on, it's not QC 3.0

Interesting.... Especially since I currently have this charger on the way.
I know when I mount my phones to the windshield mount it get quite hot. Is it possible the is causing the circuit to reduce draw to protect from over heating? Have to tried contacting AUKEY about the issue?
I'll have to check it out once it arrives.

I was hot swapping several times between this & another 3.0 car charger. Without fail the other performed exactly as my AC QC 3.0 chargers & this just like my 2.0 ACs. In terms of mAh & voltage.
I'm just sending it back for a refund as can't be bothered getting into a to & throw with them. I'm actually a bit angry about it.

Mine hasn't shipped yet (I ordered a few things together from Amazon).
Aukey is a Qualcomm certified QC 3.0 brand. I was looking to buy the Aukey as well but evidently buying one for the expected results seems like buying a box of kiddy cereal looking for the last piece of a puzzle.......or visiting McDonald's for the missing Monopoly piece. Wow.

I'll post my results as my Aukey Dual port QC 3.0 car charger ( as well as Aukey's dual port wall charger QC 3.0 and RAVPower 20100mAh Portable Charger with QC 3.0 & USB-C) arrives today, Wednesday 4/26/2016.
I'm going to have to check this out on my aukey car charger now...

Mine arrived and checking with Ampere app on my LG G5 one port is giving me about 1400mA which is about correct. The other port read MUCH lower between 50mA to 550mA, that is waaaaaay to low.
My Nexus 6P though not a QC 3.0 still give me much higher reading in one port vs the other. I know Ampere isn't super accurate but the difference is too big.
I'll have to try again tomorrow.
Try anker or HCQS

I like Anker but haven't seen a dual car charger where both ports are QC 3.0 or a USB type see port and an QC 3.0 port.
So I did a quick test last night. I decided to ignore the Ampere reading and just charge my LG G5 from about 30 minutes (31 minutes actually). My G5 went from 49% to 89% in 31 minutes while simultaneously charging my Nexus 6 P (not A QC 3.0 device) from 43% to 62% in the same 31 minutes.
so it appears to work in actual use. I'll have to try again soon, but for now I think I'm ok with it and will trust my results more than the reading from the app.

In those circumstances you won't see any differences between QC 2 & 3.
A couple of ways to spot the difference
1. With an in-line voltage meter the QC 3 will output at various volts between 6&9v. The QC2 will show just 5 & 9v
2. With screen on & phone temp above 35c (to a lesser extent 32c) the QC2 will charge significantly slower than QC3

Another update. I was running a stress test to warm the phone for more comparison & this charger couldn't even provide a net positive charge. When I swapped to another 3.0 (review up soon ), I was getting 1Amp charge again.
The extra voltage steps in QC3 definitely are a big advantage when phone under heavy load.

Can anyone confirm that quick charge or LG fast charge only activates when batt is below 10% and fast charges it to 80% then normal charging happens up to 100%. I read that somewhere. Charging with the stock LG I expected it to be fast. But that was charging from 22%. I had to chance to charge from 5% and in 15 mins it was up to 30%.

I get fast charge whatever percentage I start at.
3C reports 3A to about 60% then gradually tails off.

As stated above, the percentage your phone is currently at shouldn't matter. The phone and charger will determine the best voltage and Amperage at witch to charge depending on current charge levels and temperature.
If you're batter is already at a high level it will slow down the charging to properly "fill" up the battery safely.
Having to be under 10% is ridiculous. I try to never let my phone get below 40% if possible, much less 10%.
Quick update. I have been contacted by the seller & they say that, whilst the charger does meet QC 3.0 certification, they have identified that the "PD" chip is incompatible with the LG5. They have a new version they are sending me that should rectify this. I'll post an update once I've tested.

Huawei Fast Charger is slow as heck

I have imported my Huawei and I absolutely love the phone. Since it is an import it came with a UK Type fast charger. I simply used a wall adapter and powered it over the US current. Well, that fast charger isn't working what so ever - after 2 hours I only go to about 35 percent from 0. I have used my Note 7 charger to charge it, and there the charging times are much faster. Any ideas on what, if anything, I am doing wrong and maybe where I can buy a working Huawei charger. I can't return the charger since I bought the phone over Amazon and it strictly came with no warranty. It is not the end of the world if I can't use the included charger I just want to see how fast this phone truly charges.
Either this post is a joke or someone sold you a non supercharge Huawei charger. Also are you using both the charger and charging cable that came with the phone in the box. It's white with purple in the USB A area
Here from 10 to 80% in 45 minutes
Same here. I find the first 80% to be lightning quick and then it slows to a "normal" charging speed for the last 20%.
Must be something wrong with your charger or cable.

Using the european adapter, not the UK one, but charging is lightning fast for me as well.
hi
the orginal adapter and cable
i charge from 0% to 90% in about 55 minutes, the last 10 % are slower maybe 30 minutes to full

Mine took almost 2 hours from 48% to 100%. I'm using Original Huawei charger.......
Install ampere and see what the milliamp charge rate shows as. When the battery is almost dead it should charge at just under 5 amps and will slowly decrease as the battery level increases.
Mine typically goes from 0 to 65% in half an hour, then 90% around half an hour on top of this. The final 10% takes almost another hour.

Well there is obviously something wrong with your charger, cable or phone. I would guess the first two.
Mine turbocharges in a few minutes. I've been using fir about a year now.
Could be that an "European" charger intended for 220 volts does not provide rapid charge when plugged into a 110 volts wall plug. I have for example an electric toothbrush I bought here in Europe and it refuses to charge on a 110 volt system when using an adapter. Maybe see if you can buy an OEM charger intended for the US?
There are 2 different chargers that are official, there's the supercharge one that comes bundled with the phone which I guess everyone is using and is getting great charging speeds... (Gotta use both the charger and the cable)
And then there's the fast charger which is pretty slow compared to the bundled charger.
The next time you wanna travel abroad make sure you buy a supercharger for that regions type of socket.

If you buy a replacement make sure it actually says SuperCharge on it.
