Hi all,
Does anyone know of any charger with improved charge time for the P8? I was looking at purchasing a quick charger such as the one below in order to improve P8 charging time, but I am aware the device is not Qualcomm quickcharge certified.
Aukey Quick Charge 2.0
Thanks,
Robin
Can a mod please move this to the Huawei P8 forum?
Hi, probably too late to reply to this, but may help others with a similar query.
I was looking for a QC myself recently for my P8, but came across 2 reviews (on Anandtech & Recombu) that said no matter which charger they used, it didn't make any difference.
Also, another review (Notebookcheck) said QC is not supported, so that should be the reason why.
The internal IC stabilizer for battery charging does not support fast charging. From the other side is good because this will conserve battery life...
Hello, i have an aukey usb quick charge 3 charger and now that i have a new xiaomi mi a1 i bought a nillkin usb type c 3.0 quick charge cable.
Even tho i have a charger and a data cable compatible with quick charge, when i charge it says "charging", not fast charging, i don't even sense a notisable decrease of charging time.
So i am doing somethong wrong? It is suppose that with oreo update quick charge is aviable on the mi a1.
tired reply , please search.
The 'fast charging' message was a bug. Congrats. U just waste money
Sad to break it to you, but the phone doesn't support Quick Charge 3.0
Who except pajeet analphabete on Indian blog said it was supposed to get QC?
I've read that one of the Oreo beta builds had quick charging enabled by mistake and Xiaomi removed it later, this is when/where rumors started. No idea if that's true though..
There is a quite big difference between "fast charge" and "quick charge" (by qualcomm). Quick Charge will not be enabled on those phones as qualcomm wants money for each device that uses it. However in oreo we have "fast charge" enabled.... also to have quick charge you'll need charger that has the qualcomm chip in it... and for the fast charge again you'll need charger that supports fast charge(basically that it is more powerful - 34W and up).
And remember it is android one device so it is as close to the aosp as possible and many of the settings are up to google to change (like the cam api 2)
I don't get the fuss around this "fast" charge "enabled" thingy. I'm using a nexus 5x charger since day 0 (back when only displayed "charging") because i've bought it as a replacement for my nexus 5x.
So, the output of the 5x charger has 3A . Now pay attention, the A1 (at least mine and i don't think i got a special edition) was charging with 2A out of the box (nougat) and also after oreo update, period.
Mi a1 does have sd625 which supports fast charging but xiaomi hasnt enabled it cause enabling that will make xiaomi pay some loyalty to snapdragon. So they didn't enable it. NO FAST CHARGING ON MI A1
This thread reminds me of countles indian videos trying to prove redmi phones support fast charging by comparing charging speeds between stock 1A chargers an qc2/3 ones. Good stuff
With custom roms and root, could you re-enable it? Yes.

Redmi note 5 has the icon of fast charging with micro usb, but Mi A1 with usb C does not, lol. My phone Mi A1 charges fully within 1 hour from 1%(would say... 40min) with an aukey QC 3.0 and a blitzwolf amp usb cable.

Don't worry about people bragging ie lying about how their phones charge up faster with quick charge. Or some sort of forced charging is going on which isn't good for the lifespan of the battery. Samsung allows users to turn off fast charging in the settings to reduce excessive heat which says something about fast charging.
So you guys are saying it doesn't support Quick Charge™. But I just downloaded CPU-Z for fun and it read the fact that the MI A1 - My unit at least runs Snapdragon 626 as opposed to what GSMArena says (625) and according to this article it is supposed to support it. I don't have a fast enough charger - Never thought I'd need one since the phone supposedly doesn't support fast charging, but if it runs 626 it might. If I can edit this post I'll add a screenshot from the phone in a moment.
Can't seem to add the screen shot, so here's the link to it:

yes. I'm using a motorola turbo power charger and a magisk module 'force fast charge'. getting ~2000mA.
The phone has the available hardware for fast charging but xiaomi disabled it, it should be coming soon in oreo or pie

I tried that module, but don't see any difference. Plus, I don't see the force fast charge folder in solid explorer anywhere!

depends on your charger. :good:
Dang, I JUST BOUGHT 5. QC3 chargers!!!
... I just read on some other forms that the mean one supports fast charging qc3 charger I bought a bunch of chargers. does anyone know will queue c3 chargers work on all types of phones and devices even if they don't have any Qualcomm chip in them will they still charge at your 1 amp or 2 amp speed?? and that's question does anybody know what happened to the license agreement between called come and show me about working out the deal to get the Alt-X low-latency and the Ap-X codec license agreement???
Is there any power bank that supports dash charging? I'm using a OnePlus 6T and as it uses 5V-4A i.e. 20w charging, is there any power bank capable of doing that??
Thanks in advance.. ???
Just found this via a quick search: https://www.amazon.com/Sdoutech-10000-Portable-Charge-Oneplus/dp/B078K8TZQ1 no idea if
I personally would just find the highest wattage bank from a reputable manufacturer. I think anker has an 18w with usb c input which would be close enough for me.
Some days ago, I have bought the powerbank mentioned by @tocogi73R.
I tested it for a short time, because I dont need a powerbank very often, so I cannot give that much feedback. But
- Charging the powerbank is very fast
- Charging the OnePlus with that powerbank is very fast
So, as far as I can tell, the OnePlus fast charge seems to work here. However, I cannot give any feedback about long-term use or battery life of the powerbank, yet.
The problem with anker power banks is, that they only support qualcomm quick charge. And chick charge does not work for OnePlus devices, so the charging of a OnePlus device with a qualcomm quick charge powerbank is as slow as every usual powerbank.
However, you have to be clear about the fact that the Sdoutech power bank will charge other phones quite slow, which do not support oneplus fast charge. So, if you ever will buy a phone, which is not by OnePlus, this powerbank will be quite slow. So, the Sdoutech power bank will only be the best solution as long as you use a OnePlus device. But if you do, it seems the best solution.
How much time it takes with quick charger?

Anybody has any idea the above charger will support our device or not?
I tried the realme quick charger but it didn't work.
No. The max limit is 2A. So use the charger came with the box. Buying any fast charger for this phone will be a waste of money.
Hello guys and owners of 5G variant of Mi MIX 3.
Can owners assure me, that this phone supports wireless charging?
And also, since it has SD 855 which supports quick charge 4+, will it charge faster with 27W charger, while in the box is 18Watts?
I'm planning to buy another wall charger, so why buy 18Watts, when i can buy 27Watts, unless it will not charger faster.
Looking forward for your answers. Thank you!

It seems to only support 18W but I'll try later with a faster charger. Also the 5G variant does not have wireless charging (lots of places online says it does, but my Europe Mi Mix 3 5G doesn't support it and the Xiaomi website doesn't mention it). I assume it's to make space for the bigger battery.
Thank you for your reply. And also, looking forward for your findings about faster charger

I had a look at the fast charger. It appears to be just 18W (With a 50W Anker charger it dosen't charge and faster). I tried to root the phone to look at the wattage the phone was receiving but I installed the wrong recovery and messed up the phone software so I'm not 100% sure about the charging :laugh: - I'll probably give it another go tomorrow.
Mi mix 3 5G has no wireless charging
Hello guys,
I own the Mi mix 3 5G and the phone has no wireless charging.
But the wired charging is very fast enough to easily stand in the night with 20% battery life in a day with all function max only stands 12 hours.
Did you manage to get a new 27w charger?
Hey.im using the black shark 2 27w charger with mine and it works very well ......very fast
