compatibility with type c chargers - LG V20 Questions & Answers

hi
i have a lg v20 h990ds and a Tablet dell latitude 5179, the Tablet comes with a 45 w charger in the especifications on the label says: 5v/20V...2/2.25A.
can i charge my lg v20 with that charger without a risk?

In my experience, no, but that risk is not that hard to negate, just be sure to unplug it when it's charged up

when you say in your experience did you already do it ?

Wireless Charger help

Hey guys I just received my wireless charger from android central (the Zens one) and I had a question the amps and volts on the wireless charger are far off that of the nexus 4s stock charger. Does this matter as it is wireless charging and not the stock method of charging? If not how bad is this for my battery I do not want to ruin my battery as the batter is not removable. Stock android charger is 5.0 V and 1.2 A, new charger is 12 V and 1 A
Please need some serious help
From my current understand of the Qi standard, your N4 will tell the pad what voltage it should get and the pad will send it at what is needed for your device. Plus I think I have seen people post videos of using the Zens brand charger with the N4 with no problems.
Some schematics and more info if you are curious.

battery charging issue. cannot charge more than 500mA

I have the D802 16gb running kit Kat 20F and can't get it to fast charge even with stock LG charger and cable.
Have also tried using a Sony power bank that delivers 2A charge coupled with a short 3" Sony usb cable.
Measuring charge rate using battery monitor widget and hidden menu.
Any ideas?
My wife's G2 32gb charges fine with the same charging hardware. Hers however is an Australian model.
I have tried flashing. 3 variants of kit Kat without luck.

i've the same problem.. new phone of my girlfriend, and it take 7 hours for full recharge.. i don't know now what's the problem.. maybe kernel?
Does flashing the kdz not also flash the kernel?
I've also tried factory reset too and no luck.
Might try going back to jelly bean

[Q] Slow Charge Stock ( Rooted ) 5.0 LG G2

Hi Guys,
I've updated my T-mobile G2 to 5.0 and its facing slow charge when charging with none LG chargers, I know that it's one of lollipops features to check the usb cable connected and based upon that determine the charging power, so far i'm charging at around 700 MAH so it takes like 5 hours to charge, anyway, my LG is rooted yet with stock bootloader and i was wondering if there is a fix I can flash via fastboot that will remove that check and let the phone charge at full speed no matter the cable.
PS know that when using CM12 even when not using LG cables the phone charges at 1600 MAH.

Quick Charging

LG G6 has the Qualcomm Quick Charge feature built into it and a counterpart of this is the OnePlus 3T's Dash Charge Technology. My question is can the LG G6 take advantage of the Dash Charge technology if I use the OnePlus 3T's wall charger? Considering, Dash Charge is built into the wall adapter instead of being on chip inside the device like the Quick Charge. If possible I want the Dash Charge feature because of the lower temperatures while charging. Thanks

No, it's not possible. Probably at hardware level you are right, it's all focus on the wall adapter and in the thick cable (I highly dubt that as it could have some kind of specific chip) but at software level there is no way for the G6 to take advantage of this technology as it is an oppo proprietary technology.
All this afaik obviously =)
Not possible. I tried myself the same as I have op3 and g6
Testing phase 2 using LG charger plus Oneplus 3 cable
10:20Pm - 5%
11:20Pm - 77%
11:30Pm - 85%
12:00Am - 100%
From the above data I got j think it charges fast upto 80~85 or 90% then slows down to trickle mode
Fone was made sure of clearing ram from recent apps

Does the V20 support USB-PD charging?

tl;dr version-
I tried charging my V20 from my Nintendo Switch charger, and it didn't just "not work..." it tripped the charger such that I had to unplug it briefly before it would charge anything again (even the Switch). Does this mean the V20 doesn't support USB-PD? Or is the Switch charger just supplying the wrong voltage/current combo for any device other than a Switch?
"I've got time" version-
The simple act of charging your phone has gotten overly complicated in the last generation or two of phones... with branches of QuickCharge (2, 3, etc), and USB-PD (Power delivery). Not to mention all of the sub-par cables out there, which mandates a separate search on the Benson-Approved list.
When I bought my US996 (unlocked) V20, which officially supports QC3.0... I stuck with all of my existing QC2.0 chargers that I had from my Note 4, and I bought a couple "good" USB-C cables in order to charge the phone in the car, at work, etc.
Now I have a need to buy more chargers and cables... as well as a powerbank for an upcoming trip to Disneyworld. So, I'm curious what methods I can employ to charge my V20. I have the opportunity to buy USB-PD chargers and powerbanks, as well as cables that are USB-C on both ends to use with those USB-PD devices, but I'm not sure if it will fry my V20, or at least not charge it efficiently/at all. I came to realize that there are some politics involved with what charging schemes certain hardware can support, what they're allowed to SAY it supports, advertising, etc. I even saw an article that the LG G5 (or maybe the G6? I forget) supports USB-PD, even though it's not advertised... so I thought the V20 might be the same. So I tried it...
I recently purchased a Nintendo Switch, which is a USB-PD device, so I (foolishly) tried to charge my V20 using the Switch's power adapter. It caused no damage to any device, but when I did plug it in, the phone briefly said it was charging, then NOT charging... and the power adapter wouldn't charge ANYTHING again until I unplugged it from the wall for a bit and plugged it back in.
I take this to mean that my V20 does not support USB-PD... but it may also be that the Switch power adapter is a specialized device that supplies a voltage and current combination that is ideal for the Switch, but my V20 finds to be offensive. The Switch power adapter is not intended to be "universal" in any way, so my short test only eliminated the Switch charging adapter as compatible... not USB-PD as a whole. If it would have worked, my experiment would have validated USB-PD as a charging option.
Can anyone comment on this? Thanks!
I've been using my V20 with the following USB-PD charger successfully:

I've been experiencing much faster charging than with my other QualComm QC 2.0 adapter.

Sorry for the late reply...
Very interesting. So, you're using that power adapter with a dual-ended USB type C cable? Using an app like Ampere or AccuBattery... can you tell me what kinds of current flow you get with the screen off and on? If it's significantly more than 2000mA, I'd be very interested.
I use a Pixel charger, which is PD. It has a wall wart and a 6' USB-C to USB-C cable.

I got mine at Best Buy for $25 CAD.
It charges my V20 quicker than either of my QC 2.0 or 3.0 chargers.
