Hello there !
Got my Note 3 recently, been reading here and there.
Decided to screw Knox and went 0x1, only 6 month warranty left anyway, and I love flashing, tweaking to get the phone as I want !
Coming from a note 2, I had to try the Phoenix port on my N3, and pretty satisfied for now (heard it's risky to downgrade LL to KK so I'm waiting for now...)
On Note 2, I had a kernel allowing 2A rate charge from anywhere, AC, PC Usb, Car charger...
Things where checked using Galaxy Charging Current
On note 3, I saw the fast charging thing, but can't get what I want.
I tried CivZ and Ultimate kernel, both talk about this, and allow custom settings, but they both lock usb to 1A, under settings there is an option to remove security stuff to allow 2.1A anywhere, but it doesn't seem to work :
PC USB stuck at 1A
3m cable on AC gets 1A, and sometimes 1.8, need to plug/unplug for it to randomly select charging current..
USB3 original cable on AC 2.1A.
Car charger is working at 2.
I tried Stweaks/Synapse
Is there any kernel allowing such things ? bypass security and get max charge rate from anywhere ? (like I had on N2)
It's ok if it's LL rom only, I'll probably upgrade someday, tho I hope Xposed will be 100% stable soon.
If there is nothing, then I'm a bit disappointed, how could N2 have this things and we don't anymore, especially for the 3m cable, really, a must have !
(Bonus question, can QI charger really charge at 1.2A as Options suggests ? Would it charge through a TPU plastic case ?)
Thanks for help
Bump, anyone ?
Haven't seen any.
But try some kernel tweak apps.
For now I tried Synapse, S tweaks, Devil manager, but, don't options also come from the kernel itself before being possible in the app ?

Seems Arters is Lolipop only.
Wish someone that use it could check
Now running Arya 6.0
Still looking for something :x
When the phone is booted the kernel has parameters that impact how the device charges. What happens when you charge the phone when off? Is it just a built-in hardware controlled charge?
Thanks!

For devices like this one which supports qualcomm quick charge, the main chipset controls the charging process.
I could be wrong, but while charging from a wall charger, kernel settings doesn't govern the charging. It's still the chipset. Kernel settings only matters while doing the slow charging by connecting to a computer.
I need to have an MHL adapter connected to my Samsung Galaxy s4 i9506 which mirrors it's screen to a monitor/info screen indefinitely, but the problem is that an MHL adapter outputs a measly 300mA (Tried lots of chargers but the output never changed) which is nowhere enough. I did some research and found out that I can up that number by installing a custom ROM that enables fast charging so tried that with my other phones doing the same task that are i9505 and SGH-M919. I managed to install a custom ROM that enabled fast charge through STweaks which upped the output all the way to 1000mA, but I haven't been able to find out a ROM that enables the feature for i9506. I tried LineageOS 14.1 which should have fast charge enabled by default, but when I used Ampere to check the charging current the output was 300mA, so I assume that fast charge didn't get enabled.
Does anybody know a ROM, that enables fast charge for i9506, or how I could scrape by with that measly 300mA when the only thing the phone needs to do is to mirror a web page to a monitor. Chrome cast isn't an option, because if the connection drops you need to manually connect it again, and since the phones should be operational for months without rebooting the connection is bound to drop sooner or later.
That's a kernel thing. So, unless you find a kernel for the I9506 that supports 1000 mAh USB charging, you're out of luck in this regard.
I guess the only way to survive with 300 mAh would be to turn the screen off, otherwise the phone will use more power than it receives.
Another solution would be wireless charging. I think this is your best bet.
Is there an app that I could use that timers off the screen during the night and then wakes it in the morning? There are a lot of apps that let you time music and other apps, and even turn off the screen, but I haven't found one yet that could also wake the phone up later.

I'm searching for same as you.
Having mhl adapter (which is original as i think, working without power source and resolution is 1080p60). After connecting to AC 1.2A max charging power for phone (I9505) is only 300mAh, on original Samsung charger 2.1A is little bit more - 400mAh but obviously it's still not enough for me. Power output doesn't change even after enabling USB fast charging (700mAh or 1000mAh, doesn't matter).
I was looking to kernel source https://github.com/Slim80/Imperium_...ter/arch/arm/mach-msm/board-fusion3-battery.c
where are defined values of charging for MHL 500/MHL 900/MHL 1500 (phone probably can detect which one is plugged) but after increase charge_current_max and charge_current for every MHL type I do not see any difference unfortunately, so I'm searching still what's is going on and where i can increase power output from MHL to phone.
I'm searching for a way to change resolution of MHL video output too, so if anyone kernel master can follow me a little bit, will be great (maybe here https://github.com/Slim80/Imperium_Kernel_TW_5.0.1/blob/master/drivers/video/msm/external_common.c in line 40 -

I used this ROM to up up my numbers with i9505 to 500mAh-640mAh depending on charger and mhl adapter, so if it's of any help to you you can try it. Let me know if you find anything that could be of use : D https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...dcteam-android-source-project-mra58v-t3251663
Is there any way to wake phone up with a timer? For example make the phone wake up every morning at 8 o'clock? I'm using automate to put the phone to sleep at a fixed time, but waking it up doesn't seem to be as easy (The timer block in automate actually has a checkbox with description "Awake device", but it doesn't actually wake the phone up).

I haven't yet added a payment option to Google store (Since this is work related and I'd need to use the companys payment information) so haven't been able to try Tasker. I'll try it when I'm able to get my boss' approval.
I'm also trying to do some physical changes to one of the MHL adapters to bypass it, so that the current would come straight from the charger. This means I'll cut the Power and GND (red and black wires) of the microUSB cable connected to the phone and connect them in parallel with the red and black cables going to the MHL adapter. I'm not sure, but this might cause the MHL adapter get power from the charger, but instead of supplying the power to the phone, the phone would get it's power straight from the charger (although it would still be USB-charging since the data pins are being used, but that wouldn't matter since I usually get 1000mAh when USB charging with computer).
Another possible solution is to use wireless charging pad, because I read that if the USB-connection uses MTP or PTP the wireless charging will take priority, so the data would go through the USB but the power would come from the wireless charger. I'm not sure about this because I read it from another forum post, so if somebody could confirm/deny it I would be seriously grateful!
Thanks for your replies and suggestions so far! This is one heck of a situation I've been put into so I really appreciate the help!
I recently switched using to pro3 from max2. I have a small problem, now i found twice that the phone was completely turned off in the morning.
The charging cable was connected in both cases. I could turn it on by pressing power button few seconds. Than Android boots normally. But normal pressing the button does not turn on screen. I didn't try the fingerprint sensor (forgot)
Also, charging light was off even though the charger was connected. After boot, the charge was 100%
I am using LineageOS 15.1, but I remember seeing a scheduled turn off setting in EUI before switching. Can it be that I forgot the setting on before installing LineageOS. Can that option stick between OS changes? I assumed it should set something in processor to be able to wake phone up from total shutdown?
Were you using the stock charger?
I had issues with a stock charger shutting down the phone overnight I got one good and one bad one. Great phone but the chargers and USB chord are lousy quality. There are a lot of complaints about faulty chargers and USB chord's and lots of replacement recommendations in other Post's

Don"t charge overnight with stock cable.
Although the phone was connected to charger when this happened, I don't understand why you would think that the problem is the charger or cable?
In either case, it happened with 2 different chargers with different cables in different rooms connected to different power outlets. I use the same chargers to charge another Pro3 and also I used them with my old Max2 and nothing like this happened ever with those phones.
Today it happened again and before I restarted the phone I connected it to PC and PC finds the phone as `Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008` but I am not sure how and why it would go into this mode by itself? Is there a way to debug how phone entered that state?
It's well known that the stock cable can cause various issues, along with burned ports and unexplained shutdowns. The official LeEco forum is gone, but there WERE posts regarding this issue and pictures back in 2016-17.
I guess you weren't on this subforum back in those days, so you missed out on the various warnings. Darkobas and Code suggested that we NOT use them. Users ignored such warnings and as a result their phones stopped functioning properly. This is is very YMMV. Though it's not worth the risk.
You're not the first that has experienced issues, nor are you the last.

@Ace42 Firstly, how will cable cause phone to shut itself down? (actually, as we know now it was in some Qualcomm QDLoader device mode). Can you explain it technically?
I heard about those rumors about cables. To be honest, it feels like somebody was trying to spread FUD. I have bought two max2 phones and four pro3 phones and the cables were perfectly fine. Also a friend of mine bought one max2 and he had no problems either. But I have many cables and chargers because I like to have redundancy and easy access to charger in any room. So I use other cables and chargers. Had no problems with any yet. I am an engineer and monitor the performance of everything I use very carefully. Those cables perform up to specs so far.
Perhaps competitors of LeEco tried to cause panic. Then some people who do not have the necessary information or engineering data blindly suggest something which they can't be blamed for. I have seen it this many times. If you can tell that cable can be used or shouldn't be used, it is 100% safe to tell not use it
Other phones that rely on QC3.0/4.0, such as the LG G6 and Razer phone charge at about half the speed (1800-2100mA). The Pro 3, with the stock charger, will charge well over 3200mA throughout (0-100). It's running out of spec, and not in line with other QC phones.
The Razer, according to owners on XDA, will start over 3000 (until it hits 25%). Once it gets there the rate is effectively cut in half. Again, the Pro 3 will continue to hit 3000-4000 after 25%, and G6 has a constant 1800mA rate. So Samsung and LG phones from the SD82x era shipped phones that charge around 1500-2xxxmA. For some reason the Pro from the same year is much, much faster.
Also if you ask Darkobas (former dev), he'll mention proprietary code for the stock charger. So it's not the same as using Samsung's adaptive charger, or literally any other QC compliant charger. For whatever reason it's able to fry ports (which could be due to cheap parts in the phone), cause the phone to **** off, and initiate QFIL mode.
The last one isn't crazy actually. You can brick an Essential phone by using the stock cable. Now as you mentioned, the phone goes into a special mode (which is unheard of on other devices). That reminds me of these factory cords.
https://www.xda-developers.com/build-your-own-kindle-fire-factory-cable/
https://www.androidauthority.com/essential-phone-usb-c-cable-831817/
What I still don't know is where the problem exists. Is it the phone's board, USB cord, or something else? That's the real mystery.
You raised an interesting point by mentioning competitors. However, I'd rather not take the risk. You're better off using another charger instead of giving yourself a headache.
For the record, before when I most of the time left my phone charged overnight, it would still run fine with stock EUI. Now with custom ROM, this dreaded issue is happening consistently. You won't be able to turn on the phone unless you plug it back and hold the power button for 30 sec or so. And yes I am using the stock charger and cable. No burn in so far since Oct. 2016.

Galactic Stryder and Darkobas worked on supporting the stock charger. It requires additional work.
"Regarding issues with QC 3.0, beware that it has a throttle down mechanism when battery reaches ~40°C it limits input to 2,5Ah and also that it can reach 4,0Ah maximum up to 80% only if the battery temperature is below the threshold for safety zone.
This is the only Kernel using LeEco's charging mechanism with proper safety checks in a minimal manner for ZL1, of course the HW itself can adjust input even without the OEM code in place but it would be a risk to fallback on it without those simple checks.[/QUOTE] - Galactic
Running into this issue too now I'm running aicp, so I guess it's dangerous to use stock charger with these ROMs?

Actually, you are very wrong. Because laws of physics does not allow you to charge li-ion battery with same speed between 0% to 100%. Because the charger can't raise the voltage over 4.35V. Thats why qualcomm always put out figures of 0 to 80% when talking about quick charge. After ~80% charging process will slow down whether you like it or not.
You have spectacularly failed to explain why a cable can technically cause this issue on this phone. I recommend you to first try to understand why something is happening instead of quoting random people's thoughts. There is no guarantee that the people you quote know what they are talking about to begin with....

No reason to be worried, stock charger has nothing to do with this issue. Also stock charger works perfectly fine. @Ace42 simply does not know what he is talking about. Spreading FUD, you know?
Actually, in my device I even limited maximum charge voltage to 4.2V (only charge up till 84%) and it still turns itself off sometimes when connected to charger, even when the phone stops charging, also with different chargers and cables. Even with USB-PD chargers with type-c outputs and type-c to type-c cables. This clearly tells me that the issue is nothing to do with charger or charging voltages or charging speed, or cable. Also here it was mentioned that this did not exist with EUI and somebody who used LOS 14 says he didn't have it until he upgraded -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/help/los-15-1-zl1-leeco-pro-3-x720-shutting-t3846441

thats me who was mentioned upgrading from LOS 14.1. I have a detailed description of my issue in the thread that was linked above.
never had any problems with the stock charger. And my phone turns off when i am not using it for several hours, unrelated to it charging or not.
seems to be related to deep sleep I guess?
I have exactly the same problem. The phone turns off twice a week twice a week. An alarm does not work. Daughter is late to work .
I have one i9506 , where is all time on charger and this is problem, unfortunately, the batteries are often inflated in this mode.
Is there any possibility of i9506 controlling the charging?
No. There is circuitry in the battery and the charger which communicates to the device the correct battery level. That circuitry cannot be bypassed or tricked. While I've never tried it with a smartphone, your best bet would be to remove the battery and simply power the device with the charger.
Is there a magisk module that does this:
