[Q] Qualcomm Quick Charge - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'd like know if galaxy s5 LTE "PRIME" (korean version with snapdragon 805) includes the qualcomm quick charge technology?
and if so... is it really as fast as they say?
Thanks!

I have that device. I'm not sure if you need a special charger for quick charge.

The stock charger itself charges the device very quickly (compared to my S4 i9505).
It does indeed charge very quickly.

[Q] does this support fast charging and come with a 2 Amp wall charger?

i ask because the Galaxy Note II charges really fast with the included 2 Amp charger despite the huge battery. so does it?
It will support 2 amp charger but it will not come with a 2 amp wall charger.
I had read it does come with the so called rapid charge charger, where did you read that it would not?
Anandtech said it came with the same wall charger as the Note 2,which is 2 amp.
"This signaling is essentially Samsung's proprietary tablet charging signaling which they've employed on the Galaxy Note 2 and now SGS4, in fact the two use the same exact charger, so it's worth tossing out your old ones and getting the appropriate one to take advantage of the faster charging."

so even tho it has quick charge, its still slower than the s3? oo wut? it should charge twice as fast with a 2A charger vs 1A. i know the battery is a bit bigger, but it should still be significantly faster than the S3

Quick charge to my knowledge is strictly for usb charging. Wall charging is unaffected by this tech. 2 amp charger for a phone is damn fast, trust me.

The included 2 amp charger seems pretty quick to me. I never owned an S3, so I can't compare to that.

thanks for the reply!
I'd be interested in seeing if the phone actually draws 2 amps while charging or if it limits itself to a 1 amp rate of charge.

got the i9505 today, it comes with a 2A charger and it definitely charges up rapidly. I used the galaxy app from this forum to check charge current and it is flagged as 1900 mA.
For me it is not charging trough the PC's USB:crying:

If the phone's normal current draw is 1900mA, I wouldn't expect much of anything when plugged into a 500mA USB port

Can confirm it comes with 2amp charger and charges fast (Can only compare it to my S2 but I would say its charges quicker than that). Phone does charge via USB but very slow.
It is realy weird, that it is no possible charging from pc!
SOLVED: It was blocked by Battery Monitor Widget
So does or it doesn't support quick charger the samsung galaxy s4 i9505 android 5.0.1?

Fast Charge?

Is there a way to fast charge the Galaxy S4?
I believe that feature needs to be built into the kernel for it to work. The "secure settings" app in the market lists fast charge as a custom rom option, but I could be wrong.

Mine charges at a little over 1% a minute as it is. How fast do you expect it to charge?

That's what I was going to say. I'm amazed at how fast it charges.
Qualcomm has what it calls quickcharge built into their snapdragon chips. The s800 is supposed to charge faster than the s600 too!

I have the original stock charger but I was charging the S4 with my computer and I noticed that the rate was much slower.

Computer chargers are only rated to deliver 500 ma of current while the Samsung charger that comes with the phone will deliver over 2 amps. Basically the wall charger outputs out over 4 times as much power vs. computer usb ports.
My s4 with stock wall charger (2.1a) charges insanely fast. Much more so than my s3.

LG Nexus 4 slow charging

Do you guys notice the LG wall charger that came with the phone seem to charge more slowly that others? I tried charging my Nexus 4 with a samsung charger and it charge at least twice as fast compared to the LG that came with the phone.

There's a reason this phone has a smaller battery. Therefore they'll use a less amped charger. For instance it takes longer to charge my note 2 than my nexus 4 does. Our LG charger is only 1amp. My note 2 is a 2amp hence 2x faster.

But why would they make it charge slow. I just don't see the benefit in doing that and the charger I use is a galaxy s2 charger. The battery size is not much different.

Check the specs on that charger. And it's more efficient.

The output on the LG is 5v, 1.2A and the output on the Samsung is 5v, 1A. It seems the LG is suppose to output more, yet it charges more slowly. I also notice sometimes with the LG charger the phone switch to usb mode.

Probably due to USB cords I have no issues at all with charging.

How long does it take you to charge your phone to full?

I noticed my charger got slower too. I swapped the cable and it charges fast again. The cable that the charger comes with got faulty, but I can't really notice anything when inspecting it.

[Q] Please help about note 3 charger mains!

I've bought galaxy note 3 N9000 and received the 3.0 usb cable without the charger mains so I need to buy one and I want to know if the other galaxy s3, note2 charger mains will give the input/output power voltage that note 3 need or not!
thanks

Thanks guys I know it would work but would it charge fast as 3.0 usb speed not 2.0
Any 5.3V, 2A adapter will work. I also use an HP TouchPad charger to charge my Note 3 at full speed, just as fast as the Samsung charger. As for the cable, as long as it can handle 2A it doesn't matter if you use 2.0 or 3.0 - the 3.0 charging advantage only affects charging on PC.

Are Qualcomm chargers compatible with Exynos S7?

Looking to buy a 3rd party charger with 3 ports, but all I can find is
Qualcomm fast charge adaptors. Will they still do the same as the Adaptive fast chargers? Looking to pair it up with a Fast Wireless QI charger. Thank you.

Will work, but don't expect the Exynos Quick Charge feature to be usable
Im using no-name quickcharge charger for 5$ on exynos variant and its charging phone with 9V 1.6A so it looks every charger with qualcom quickcharge technology will fast charge it.

Right. That's the feature I'm after. Better stick with Samsung chargers then.

Im using a Aukey dual usb quickcharge 3.0 charger on my S7E, it charges same like the stock charger, as S7E is only supports quickcharge 2.0 (fast charge) and its backwards compatible :thumbup:

I'm guessing you have the Snap Dragon model? I'm wondering if the same is true for Exynos model? I bought an Aukey dual USB quick charge 2.0 charger will give it a go when it arrives.

No i have the Exynos model. Im in the UK, we dont have Snapdragon model here. However i believe the charger shouldnt make a difference.
