Good day all. Just want to ask some of you who may have made the jump how you're liking this device. I have the Note 2, Note 3 and about the get the 4 through work. I've been reading a ton of good things about the Z3v and am really on the edge about grabbing it. I love the Note series, and while the locked down nature of the 4 sucks, I'd still get it.
Basically my question is, if you've made the jump to the Z3 from Note how are you liking it? Are you happy you made the switch or do you regret it? Any and all help is much appreciated, as always.
I was using a note 3 previously, bought the note 4 when it came out loved the battery improvement on.
But now I changed to the Z3 only to use the remote play function , I am using this as my daily driver for 3weeks straight now and I am quite impressed coming from a note series . battery life is amazing on it much better then the note 3, kinda miss the fast charging from my note 4 but overall really enjoying it

Quick Charge 2.0 works on the Z3 series, you just need to buy a charger separately

No it isn't supported on the software side. Hardware supports it but kernel don't support. Have the docomo quick charger 2.0 and didn't made the difference. others have tenergy which has an indicator led for quick charge and it doesn't lit up when plugged to z3

But it works on your D6633? The OP is talking about a Z3v. Quick Charge 2.0 absolutely works on my D6616 (completely stock) using the Tenergy Charger via USB.

My docomo quick charger doesn't charge my unit much faster than stock. Mine is a z3 dual. Does your tenergy led lit up green when connecting to your z3? Other user here says their tenergy only lits up with blue which means only regular charging. that's why it made me conclude that z3 don't have qc2.0 enabled as of now.

Yes absolutely, the light changes from blue to green. I tried other non QC2.0 devices and the light doesn't change. It only works through the micro-USB port and not the magnetic charging port.

I'm not going to drain my battery to 0. When QC2.0 was going it was charging at almost 1%/min
Same as mine it's 1% per min.:-& not so quick in my opinion. Almost Similar with stock charger

Sony phones charge so fast it's quite frustrating how long the nexus S takes. Would you suppose it would be safe to try to charge nexus S with the charger of xperia arc S? After all the micro usb standard should be safe to work on all phones right?

Although the plug is identical, it doesn't mean they're all the same in their specs. Samsung official charger for the Nexus S gives 750ma at 5V. Anything else and you're taking a chance.
just make sure the out put is roughly close, if not exactly the same, it shouldn't be a huge problem if you wanna quickly top up before you leave. i do, however, suggest you use the samsung one for over night charging.

If it's USB, you're safe. Phone will negotiate the required current with the charger, so you could buy a 30A one if you wish, just don't turn on fast charge with overrated ones, as it disables the regulator (*KABOOM*)

Ah so AC charging with faster charger not recommended? So can we get faster charging on nexus S by getting a new battery or does it have to do with the circuitry in the phone?

TRUE it just affects the time needed to charge if it is not as powerful as the original one.
Turns out sony charger makes no difference to the charging speed even though it charges the xperia arc S in under an hour. Oh well samsung charging really sucks I guess this is a matter that needs to be highlighted more in my opinion it's a huge disadvantage.
I can confirm what ozone89 says. I've tried all kinds of charges on my NS and I've achieved same charging times.

Hey people, I just try my oem HTC m8 charger on my t-mobile Sony z3 via magnetic charging port and I swear it charging my phone at least double or three the rate then if I use the Sony oem it came with..
I also left it on stamina mode while charging the port..
Has anyone else try this?
Sent from my D6616 using XDA Free mobile app
Isn't the charger on the M8 1.5amps? The same as the charger on the Z3.
I have both, so I suppose I could use the M8 charger tonight and see...
You are probably right on the spec but I just don't know if it's a placebo effect but I figured I ask.. Also if I am right this would make this Phone so much sweeter than it already is..
I know it's supposed to charger faster by using the magnetic port but it seems faster using my HTC m8 charger instead of my Sony oem..
I figured I share see what you guys said

Please let us know how this goes, if it is true, I will probably end up ordering the M8 charger tonight.
i got a 2.1amp samsung tab 8.4 charger with original cable, and it seems the speed of Charging goes faster than stock charger, however i woke up twice wont my battery stuck at 99% charge and it never went to 100 so stopped using it
I've got an Anker dual port charger that has a 2.0amp and 1.5 amp ports on it that I use at work.
Although, the only time I ever charge my phone is at night... And considering charging a battery slower is generally better, I wouldn't be switching to a faster charger for my uses.
Unless I was in a hurry and *needed* the extra 15% a 'quick' charger would give me.

Samsung tablet chargers are interesting. They will actually increase voltage slightly as current draw increases to compensate for cable losses.
End result is Samsung tablet chargers often charge faster than others, sometimes significantly faster.
Ok so I'm looking at the z3 specs page on gsmarena and notice it states on there that the z3 has quick charge 2.0, 60% battery in 30mins!
So, why is my z3 charging at the pace of a slug!??. We are talking more like 10% in 30mins charge!
Don't you need a compatible charger for this feature?

You need a Qualcomm Quickcharge 2.0 certified/supportive charger. The Tenergy one on Amazon is cheap and has good reviews. I use my regular charger however.
Oh right, sorry guys, didn't no you need a special charger for it! Would have thought Sony would have provided one
Do I need a fast charge cable or wall adapter cause I heard the included one don't include fast charge

I just ordered this fast charger from Amazon:

mind it doesn't come with a cable, but you could use the HTC stock one since it's of good quality.
If you want a long cable like me, I also ordered this:

I've got this one http://www.amazon.com/Tenergy-Unive...d=1427977501&sr=1-2&keywords=quick+charge+2.0
As long as it says Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 any of them should work.
Any UK ones recommended under £10??

Judging by the quoted spec of 5/9/12V it is the HTC TC P1000 charger, not the TC P900 as shipped in the box (of my EE unit)

can you take a picture of your charger of dose it say Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 on it ?
Anyone in the US (not sure about other regions) can waltz into a verizon store and pick up one of these:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/acce...er-with-fast-charge-technology-for-micro-usb/
Price isn't terrible at ~$35. I'm not on verizon and I don't like all the red, but who cares at the end of the day. Also, the USB cable it comes with has a light on the end. which is handier than I thought it would be. IE: stabbing your phone in the butt when trying to charge it in the dark. I do not regret getting this charger for a second.
I ordered this one. http://www.shopandroid.com/ventev-q...llport-micro-usb-wall-charger/5A255A20425.htm

Is there any way to tell if the phone is actually in quick charge 2.0 charging mode? I bought a car adapter that is certified but I'm curious how to know if it is actually working or not in that charging mode?

(If you can't catch it then it's a quick charge... lol!) Yes there is a way, if you plug in a slow charger you will get a pop up message telling you that you are using a slow charger. I charge my m9 from my PC as it has a built-in USB port for fast charging phones, which can even be used if the PC is powered off.
Will this charger charge the M9 faster? I don't know if it supports that Qualcomm fast charging 2.0 though?

I've had great results from the Choe brand QC chargers LINK. Used it with my M8 now using for my M9.
I got the Anker Qualcomm 2.0 Quick Charger.
It works. Light glows green when my M9 is plugged in. Charges stupid fast.
Takes up one space on the power strip.

I've had pretty good luck in general with Anker stuff, but I've never used one of their quick chargers.

I bought that same charger. Would you be willing to download the free app called Ampere and see what it reports for current when you are using that charger? I am having a very weird issue where Ampere is only reporting about 250mA with that charger but if I use a different charger that is not Qualcomm certified I get upwords of 1500 milliamps. I'm wondering if Ampere is just not capable of handling the calculation on a phone with the Qualcomm Quick Charge technology or if there is something wrong with the charging of my phone.
I just bought these two, and it said I will have them by Sunday; it's Friday!
Two fast charge ports on the wall charger and 1 on the car charger, and the rest of the ports are 2.4 amp 5 volt.

Hi guys, Lollipop Stock rom seems to take longer to charge battery from 0-100 when compared to that of kitkat. (more than 3 hrs) . I dont know whether this is related to electric supply from boards in my home or not.
I am trying to buy Sony CP-AD2 USB AC Adaptor quick charger but need reviews before buying this. Is anyone using this ?? or used in the past ? Is this compaitable with Xperia Z3 and faster ??
Also suggest me if there are any quick chargers available in the market other than sony one (Z3 supports qualcomm quick charge 2.0) ???
