Alternative charger? - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Sorry if this has been asked. Can I use the OEM/stock charger of the Nexus 6p on the LG V20?

I use it and my old charger from note 7 also

Spend a little dough on a nice Anker or Aukey QC3 charger. I've been replacing all of my chargers with those. Worth it

Thank you sir.

Mine works with variety of QC2.0 chargers
Note 7 one (with retail package)
Anker
Tronsmart.

I have charged mine with my brothers stock nexus 6p charger and it charges pretty fast. Havent timed them or anything but its definitely as fast as the stock v20 one. Only problem is if its safe or not since there is that whole debate about Qualcomm's QC 3 not being compliant with the USB Type-C charging standard.

[Q] My beloved Nexus wont charge more than 0%

Hey guys.
I just got my Nexus 7 from a friend who just came home from usa. I love it. But I'm having a serious problem... It wont charge over 0%... I'm charging it through usb beacuse I don't have an adapter yet. Gonna buy one tomorrow. But I've charged it for about 45 min - 1h now, and still just 0%, seriously, more than one hour to gain one percent??
WHY AIN'T MY NEXUS CHARGING??????
Thanks

Use the GNexus charger, usb probably doesn't put enough juice through..
The stock charger for the n7 is 2.0a, USB 2.0 has an output of 500ma max, it just isn't enough power to make a major difference.
even a gnex charger wouldn't be as good as the n7 charger, my gnex charger output is rated as 0.7a on the charger.
My S3 charger is rated at 1.0a

In Ireland we have 220v as well so it should be fine, the charger handles what is output to the device so it should be fine.
The device in every country has the same input, its the charger that is different.

Ahaaaaa. Thank you! I just checked my n7 and it had been charged to 5%, puh, now I know that there's nothing wrong with the battery
But tomorrow I'll go and buy a charger that will send out 2a right? Or what should I buy?

See if you can get an official one from eBay or something, I don't wanna tell you to get a 2.0a charger just in case.
Mine says output 5.0v 2.0a on it but non official chargers may not be good for the device.

[Q] Note 4 Car Charging?

Hey guys,
I just plugged my note 4 into my car charger (anker charger, oem note 4 cable) and couldn't get it to charge. It charges my note 3 no problem.
I also have no problems charging my note 4 with wall chargers.
Any help?
I've got the "Anker® 18W / 3.6A Car Charger with Built-in Micro USB Cord for Android" and it's actually CHARGING my Note 4 when using GPS navigation and playing music! My Note 2 wouldn't charge, but it would hold charge under the same conditions.
What model charger are you using?

I actually can't find it on the charger itself or even Amazon. It's relatively new, I thought it was a 2.0/2.1 amp charger (2x USB). Definitely Anker though.

Are you using both usb's at the same time? If so, it's splitting the power, so you'll get a slow charge.

Sorry, I should have specified - the only thing plugged into the charger is my Note 4.
Shoot, maybe I just need to grab another charger. Thought I made a good decision with that Anker.
Thanks for your reply by the way

Hmm.. this mentions rapid charging, I wonder if it's as fast as the wall charger
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECA-U21CBEBXAR
The only chargers that work with the new fast charging technology are ones that are purpose built and have the ability to switch between 9V and 5V,they are quite uncommon.
I have this charger http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D82O68Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and it charges my note 4 while running Waze and tethering my Radar Detector via Bluetooth (which also uses GPS)....and it charges my wife's S5 at the same time
Using an afer market 2.1a charger and an S3 cable, charges just fine.

I believe Samsung has stated it's a 9v charger instead of the conventional 5v charger.
Did some more research and found this:
http://www.incipio.com/chargers/car-chargers/quick-charge-2-0-single-port-usb-charger.html#
From the Engadget review, "I clarified with Samsung that it chose a proprietary solution instead of licensing Qualcomm's QuickCharge tech, but it insisted that you could still use QuickCharge 2.0-compatible chargers to achieve the same results."
Also from http://www.samsung.com/sa_en/support/skp/faq/1063730?CID=AFL-hq-mul-0813-11000170
[FAQs] Smart Phone : Galaxy Note 4- To use fast charging, what kind of charger should be used?
Fast charging uses battery charging technology that charges the
battery faster by increasing the charging power. The Galaxy Note 4
device supports Samsung’s Adaptive Fast Charging feature and
Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0.
To use Fast charging on your device, connect it to a battery charger
that supports Adaptive Fast Charging or Quick Charge 2.0.

Amazon aukey or anker are excellent alternatives. Quick charge 2.0 is what you must get.

LOL i was about to say. Go to Tmobile now and tell them so that they can give you a new one. Because despite i have 35 apps up and running, and i have done a lot today, my phone gets charged in about 1 hour and 15 minutes (pretty decent if you ask me)

9.0v = 1.8; & 5.0v = 1.8a
I had the same thing happen to me the first time I plugged it in...
That said, I found my quick charge 2.0 charger charges it faster than the charger in the box, so I am thinking of buying an official 3.0 quick charger.
That stock charger doesn't look like it's variable voltage that qc3 requires

I know. Im using my own charger with 5v and 2 amps. And it charges very fast with it. With the other it does charges fast. But not as fast as this one
The supplied charger is like a QC1.0 version, it's not even a QC2.0, it doesn't have the 12V, this is the same with the V10 and the G5 which is supplied with the same charger.

Theoretically speaking I charge the other battery in the spare battery charging dock. So when I swap the dead battery out it only takes 30 seconds or so to have a full charge on my phone. No more tethering my phone to the wall.

I have an Anker QC 3.0 charger and last night, it charged my V20 from 6% to 100% in about 1 hour.

Measured at the wall, my OEM charger refused to charge over 2.7 WATTS - 2 point 7 - when the battery was at 15%... what the eff? Not that I care, because the charger is junk anyway, but sheesh! Makes no sense...
Also, the charge current drastically drops any time the screen is on from what I am seeing, as pictured below.
Also what makes no sense, and 2 reviewers on Amazon commented the same issue, Anker's PowerPort +1 Type C QC 3.0 charger doesn't work with this phone. I couldn't get it to go over 12 watts with the screen off even though I tried 4 different cables (Anker, i-Orange, i-Rainy, OEM Pixel XL cable). Interestingly, the Pixel XL OEM charger peaked at 19.2 watts! Really interesting actually... don't know how it's doing it, since it's USB PD, but it does have the proper voltages. It's charging the phone pretty damn quick. Even at 68%, it's pulling 14 watts right now as I type.

Best After market turbo charger?

Hi all,
My original turbo charger died after I man handled it.
I'm looking for a good turbo charger (not the original one coz it costs ₹1200/-) on Flipkart as a sale is going on currently.
Any recommendations from long term users?
Thanks.

I would say don't use Turbo Charger, fast charger generally degrades the battery life. If your stock charger is not working then you should buy a 5V 2A aftermarket charger which will work fine. Flipkart SmartBuy 2A Fast Charger will do the job, I'm using this charger right now.

Buy any fast charger that supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 i.e the same technology used in Moto turbo chargers.
Well, to preserve battery life expectancy, I've ordered a Sony 2.1A charger from Flipkart for 250/- (on offer though)

Okay.
But you will definitely miss the fast charging.
I don't know about Flipkart, but Aukey Quick Chargers have always worked well for me... Remember, Turbo Charge is just Quick Charge without the Qualcomm licensing fee.

Yeah, totally but it's already a 1.5 year old device, got it as soon as it came out. So I'd better off preserve the life span of this original battery. I charge the phone over night however.

Like I said, I don't know anything about Flipkart but here is an Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Charger-Samsung-Qualcomm-Certified/dp/B018RR30TK
I have several of these... Once at work, one at home, one in my overnight bugout bag, and one in my computer bag, plus I think my kids have a couple as well, you get the idea.
The work on anything, Pixel, Samsung, LG, Moto, whatever (except OnePlus and a couple others), but they support Quick/Turbo charging on anything that supports Qualcomm Quick Charge or Moto Turbo Charge (it is literally the same thing, provided at the chip level of the Snapdragon processor).
