Im currently running the latest build on AnteriesOne optimised CM12.1 ROM on my i9505, in STweaks the defualt mA input is set to 1900mA but if i remember correctly the stock voltage is 1000, it charges SUPER quick so i set it to 1450mA but im still worried having it on this voltage on what i believe to be a 2 year old battery, which is in good health id say 90% health status.
You developers sure you know what your doing?? you dont want peoples battery exploding when they accept a phone call do they... i9505 exploding batterys is becoming popular and now they're increasing the voltage on custom roms.
I never heard of an exploding battery on the S4. And the 1900 is default for the S4 charger if i'm not mistaken. So don't worry.
Your S4 can take it upto 1900mAh. But don't increase voltage or else your phone might explode

I installed ampere from the play store and monitored the charge rate both with with the supplied N6p charger and also my old anker 5 port which maxes out around 2.1 amps per port. The results, if accurate, were telling.
I started with the N6p around 60% full. Both chargers consistently varied up and down during the charge mostly between 1 and 2 amps with only the anker going briefly to about 2.1.
Frankly I expected the stock charger (and cable) to put out considerably more but I would say, without averaging software, that they were roughly the same if not the anker putting out a bit more than the stock.
Is there anything I'm missing needed to kick in the 3 amp mode on the charge process?
I thought charging rate slowed as battery got closer to full?

I started at 60%. It should ramp up at that level. It should scale back at 80 or 90%.
Didn't the nexus 6 do turbo charging to 67% or around there then it slowed to 90% and then charged even more slowly to 100%? I don't know what the battery % thresholds are for charging on the 6P but to be safe I would check at a lower percentage than 60.

I'll do that and report back. I never had a nexus 6. I'm surprised the curve is that low but I believe you.
i checked mine, with my Anker 5-port, and it did change.
At 95% it was putting out 640ma, at 99% it was down to 300ma. So it's defintely going more slowly when it gets nearer to 100%.
I'm going to try and drain it down again and do more tests lower down the scale. I'm frankly very disappointed with the speed of the fast charge. Perhaps it's because I'm coming from an S6, and that did charge a lot faster.
Perhaps Qualcomm does indeed have the better system.
There are now two very similar threads so I apologize for the duplicate posts.
Ok, I started charging with the stock 6p charger at 26%. I'm now at 74%. This charger does not ramp up in a linear fashion like other lithium-ion chargers that I'm familiar with. It's constantly ramping up and down over and over. The highest it's achieved was 2.8 amps for a few seconds and I would guess it may be averaging maybe 1 to 1.5 amps.
I'm wondering if it's even working to spec. Seems to me it ought to slowly ramp up to 3 amps, hold it, and then slowly ramp down at about 90%.
Anyone else monitored their charge rate?
It took about 90 mins to go from 26% to 93%.

I don't have 6p, but i tested with my 5x, when before 30%, it could reach 2.6 amps and drops to 1 amps(sometimes even 0.5 amps), dancing back and forth till it reachs 30%, it stables at around 1.8 amps, and slows down when getting close to full charge, takes about 1.5 hours for a full charge, anyone could share how long a full charge needed for Nexus 6p?
The dancing back and forth is very odd. At first I thought the regulator could be adjusting for battery heat but I never saw the temps vary that much.

It's not for battery heat? The phone itself is not heat at all, but maybe the battery is heat inside, do you have any app that could monitor the temperature of the battery?

I use Ampere. It monitors the current charge rate and a lot of other things including temperature. It doesn't say which temperature but I'm assuming it's probably battery. If not there are probably hundreds of apps that display the battery temp. Systempanel is another app I happen to use that specifically shows battery temp.
I'm sure this has been answered somewhere already but what's the deal with the s10 plus still using the same qc 2.0 from at least the note 4? I seen today that the A70 will have super fast charging, wouldn't you think the flagship device would too. Is this something that can be fixed with a software update or is it a hardware issue?
It's not QC 2.0 anymore according to all I found.
It's "15W Adaptive Fast Charging" I observed how it slows down when the battery is either too low or too high, which is great for longevity.
Don't fall to the fast charging trend propaganda, fast charging over a certain level will always damage your battery and there's no doubt that Li-ion tech isn't made for this, OEMs like Huawei are pushing the average buyer's stupidity by making them believe they need 40W+ charging, you don't.
The main reason behind Samsung not coming with some new charging protocol is that they have to deal with Qualcomm in the Americas, that would mean their International versions would charge faster than QC 4 and it would create a failure in delivering a specific feature worldwide.
I disabled fast charging completely since there's absolutely no need for it, if you need "half battery charger In 20 minutes!" on a 4100mAh device that can deliver 15h SoT, you're just not responsible.
I slow charge my battery while I'm working by keeping it between 50 and 85%, once a day, every day, my battery will have at least 95% health in two years and that way I won't have to depend on portable chargers whenever I need the whole battery to last.
Hello let us tell me the maximum charging speed on your mobile.
Mine 4gb variant with havoc 2.5. i get 1900 mah in my 2A charger
with rawwork kernel v5.6 in all custom roms i get 1900+ and after 90% it drops to 800.
(3gb varient)
Hi everybody.
For the OP 8 Pro, what's the best max voltage to preserve battery ?
And the best max amperage ?
And the best temperature ?
Thank you
Less current, voltage and temperature is better.
However minimum start charge battery temperature should be 72F, 82-90F is better. Keep charging temperature below 100F, cool if needed.
NEVER attempt to charge if under 40°F
High temperature battery usage cut off should be 103F. Cool off or shutdown before 105F
Li's like frequent midrange power cycling ie 30-80% with 40-72% being near ideal.
When an Li has reached 80% of its original capacity* it's time to replace it. Be that a year or 3 years, just do it. It's not worth risking seriously damaging an expensive device over a cheap battery. They are born to die.
*degraded Li's are more likely to fail. A swollen battery is a failure, replace asap.

I use original adapter with a magnetic cable and it charges at max 10watts. Been using mine for 4 5 months and still getting 7-8h+ sot with medium usage on 120hz qhd+.
