I have 2 extra batteries. I have never calibrated them. I run the High impedance dac most of the time. 2 batteries last me all day. I rarely have had to use the 3rd. I suggest you just revel in the freedom a replaceable battery affords. It's a privilege that is going away. That being said, QC 4.0 is supposed to give you 50% of a full charge after 5 minutes. Hooray for the future.

Fast (2A) charger: anyone tried on N4?

Hello, It someone used on N4? I'm looking one of samsung, is written 0,5/2A. It will reduce the time of charge? It will disintegrate the battery? Thanks in advice.

It will do neither of those (Well, maybe the battery will charge a liiiittle bit faster). The charging circuit will pull only a certain amount of current, most likely around 1.2 amps, no matter how much power the charger can supply.
The phone's charging circuit (load) won't draw any more current than it does from the stock charger, no matter how much current is available.

^ this. However, if the voltage is higher (>5V, if I remember correctly), you'll want to avoid using the charger.

Ok so is useless that "fast charger". I thinks that 2A in 1 hours delivers 2000mha so have to complete charge in just 1hours and something (to arrive to 2100mha)

Even if our devices were truly capable of accepting an input of 2A, the charge isn't linear; i.e. the charge rate isn't constant. Take a look at this thread to see what I mean! It's a good read for everyone.
Your battery gauge is lying to you (and it's not such a bad thing)

I use the charger that came with my HP Touchpad, which is a higher rate charger than the stock Nexus 4. It does make the phone charge faster, but it also heats it up. I don't use it as my full time charger, but its nice for a faster top up.

My battery is draining while charging at wall socket?

My galaxy s4 battery drains while charging.
My 4g data is turned on and wifi hotspot is also turned on. I also play Clash of clans while charging.
Should I replace my battery or my charger?

Download "Galaxy Charging Current" from the play store and check how many amps you're receiving. You should be getting more than 800ma for your phone to charge properly.

I'm receiving 600ma from my wall socket. Is the charger faulty?
Isn't this related to the battery swelling issue discovered recently ?

The battery isn't swelling. It lasts like 8 hours if no data use. So i think its not because of faulty batts.
Are you using the original S4 USB cable? you need a very good usb cable in order to change with high ma, it should be about 1500ma if you are using a good usb cable (with the original charger)

Depends on the firmware/kernel. Newer (stock) firmwares (>MGA) limit the charging at 1200mAh while the screen is on and 1900mAh with the screen off.
Custom kernels can charge at 1900mAh with the screen on.

Some cables are unable to generate more than 600ma. If it is the original Samsung charger, change the cable. If it is the original cable, get a 2A charger. If it's both, chances are, its the cable. Good luck.

First day i was testing different wall chargers (Samsung stock and non Samsung) with different cables combinations using a current widget. Results: original white Samsung data cable still in the box (bad impedance causing low current) and using stock wall charger with a generic data cable better than original.
We all assume hi is trying stock all charger and stock kernel...

The limit is the same (1900 with original wall charger and good data cable), the 700 mA difference is because screen consumption plus non idle cpu state... It is, 1900 always enter in the device, 1900 enter in the battery if no consumption (screen off), about 1200 enter in the battery if screen and cpu consumption (on).

Yes, it is just a consecuente from the 1st Thermodinamic Principle... The consumption of a turned on screen and a working cpu is not zero...

You don't say, really? :good:
Older firmwares let the phone charge at 1900 with screen on or with screen off. More recent firmwares limit the charge to 1200 when the screen is on.
With a custom kernel this can be changed back to the original 1900, with the screen on. What is so hard to understand about that? No need to go into science again, I do understand all that irrelevant stuff anyway.

Thats amounts are not the limitation into the phone, but the net current into the battery, the difference between that limitation you refer and the actual current consumption for the screen and cpu. I think it is not complicated to understand... You don't need to explain me about what custom kernels can or can't do about it, i know, i collaborated with Aaccount here in xda for enabling "fast charging" on his A1 kernel for our Samsung Galaxy Tab P75xx...

Lots of words, again without any relevance whatsoever. Read back and see what you quoted upon.
But anyway, you're right. End of. Leaving this thread as it has no use at all responding here.

Motorola "TurboPower" quick charger

Any cheaper or better alternatives to it? It has to be bought separately since it is not included in the box.
For me its include on the box. Its the square one isnt?. When i plug in it says Turbo Chargue on.

Not all of them come with it. Kind of lame on carriers part.
Any Qualcomm 2.0 quick charger should work
Oh i didnt know that :/ i bought it directly from motorola.

I got the Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 charger.
Around 10€ @ Amazon. Works perfect with the MXP.

So any qualcomm quick 2.0 charger will have the same functionality and speed?

Confirm that it's working great
Recommend Tronsmart qc2.0 chargers, They are qualcomm certified, and featured quick charge brand.
I just bought a tronsmart QC charger for my car. How do I know if quick charge is working though? It just displays charging still...

On stock, it'll display turbo power connected. If cm, use Ampere from the play store
Hmm OK well I don't think the one I bought is really a quick charger unless my car simply doesn't put enough power out?! It only displays charging and I'm on stock.

Check using Ampere in market.
Charging time
Hi Guys does ant tested how much time it is taking to fully charged from 0%.
Does any one have turbo 25 charger if yes how much it is taking to fully charged with that turbo 25 charger.
I have the same question as sandeep,
how long does the turbo need to charge the bat?
Does the Turbo charger simply has more power than standard chargers, or is there anything else special or proprietary?
More amperage,my turbo charger is 2.4a, whereas standard ones are 1a I believe
There's more to it than just straight amperage in the charging circuit, here is a good explanation of it
http://www.androidauthority.com/quick-charge-explained-563838/
The newer fast charge systems use a stepped system to always give the most amps the battery can take for any given situation. There is actually 3 systems right now (I hate when everyone can't agree)
There is Quick Charge 2.0 (QC 2.0) used by Moto & HTC, 2nd the new USB-C connector has its own spec for fast charge but unfortunately a lot of the USB-C coming on newer devices are only using the old USB 2.0 spec - so no fast charge available. Last but not least One Plus has their own unique fast charge spec.
From what I have read if you have a good USB cable (one designed for charging) and you have USB adapter capable of at least 3.0 amps it might trigger the QC 2.0 circuit in the phone to go into turbo mode but it is not a given fact, more like trial and error.
The phone needs more than 5 hours to charge fully. The quick charger is a must have i my eyes.
I'll order the TurboPower™ 15 now.

In-car charging while in navigation

Phone was at 100%, plugged in car and fired maps.
After 1h I unplugged it a d battery was at 85%.
Car charger is a 2A branded one.
screen brightness, along with always-on screen during Maps nav, slowed my car recharge rate
It sounds like you don't have a Quick Charge 2.0 or 3.0 car charger. The older "regular" 2A chargers can't charge the 6P or other newer phones fast enough to keep up with Navigation's drain.
Which car charger is everyone using, that support quick charge with the 6P?
Nexus 6P doesn't have Qualcomm Quick Charge Technology... If Nexus 6P charge fast (using stock charger) is because the technology build in in USB type C to type C + 3A power brick.
So you need something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Tron...843&sr=1-9&keywords=USB+Type+C+Car+Charger+3a

Battery Durability

Hi just wondering if anyone wants to share their accubattery battery wear screenshots. Mine reports I've only lost 2% capacity in 6months which I find impressive.
Well it certainly doesnt look that good for my battery. It lost 25% in 16 months.
That looks consistent with what I've seen from others stats. It looks like my strategy of only charging to 85% is working(and only using a 700ma charger for overnight charging, I only use a 2A charger if I need a topup during the day which I rarely do).
Anyway 3700mah is still enough to easily make it through the day at least for me.
