I have researched this quite a bit and can't figure out:
1) Does the AT&T LG G2 support Qualcomm's QuickCharge?
2) If so, what type of charger do you need to have? I heard it was a 2.1v charger/plug.
3) If so, is it QuickCharge 1.0 or 2.0? I imagine 1.0 since the new Moto X was just released with 2.0…
It'd be nice to have an official answer and an explanation as to how you know the answer!
Does no one know?
i have read on qualocom's site that all snapdragon 800 are supported, but some people noted that it might be disabled in software, those chargers are brand new and i am sure someone will test one out with a g2 soon
I use a standard 5.0V, 1.2A wall charger and my G2 charges from dead to full in less than an hour. But I'm sure some people want this feature so they can charge their batteries in under 10 minutes. But if you're using that much battery why not just have a second battery? You're not always gonna be somewhere where you can charge your battery. Even quickly.
I've never heard of under 10 minute charges, but I have heard of 75% in 15 minutes with QuickCharge 2.0. Also, unless you have the Korean version of the G2, it doesn't have a replaceable battery, so a fast charger is the way to go for that.
Hi Z3's fans
I have a question which I 've asked in ( Sony forums ) and ( Qualcomm's facebook page )
My question is :
Does Z3 dual model ( D6633 ) support quick charge 2.0 or not !!!?????
Sony support team said that quick charging is just special for Japanese models and they said :
D6633 supports neither Quick Charge 1.0 or Quick Charge 2.0
Qualcomm at first said yes but when I asked about D6633 didn't answer ..
Do you have any idea about this ?
please help ,, I appreciate that so much
:fingers-crossed:
I have the D6603 model and purchased a quick charge charger. It charges my phone from 45% to 89% percent in 45 minutes. It's takes the phone about 1 hour and a half to charge from empty to full.

is this via the usb port or the magnetic charging port?
I believe its through the USB port.

usb port.
First of all, sorry to bring this months old thread back to life, but at least to me, this question is left unanswered even though I looked it up here on XDA.
I have just bought a Xperia Z3 Dual (D6633) and I'm considering getting a Quick Charge 2.0 outlet.
Thus, can anyone please confirm whether the Z3 Dual is compatible with QC 2.0?
Thanks in advance.
.I have a D6633 and a generic charger bought from a phone shop (a good one though)
I never timed the charging but it does charge the phone fairly quickly. I would say i can charge it from 0 to full in a couple of hours.
Does that mean it supports quick charge? I don't know but for me it does it fairly quickly especially I don't leave my phone goes completely flat.
and finally it does that through either ports (usb or magnetic).

I am not sure whether it does fully... Let me explain:
I have a Galaxy Note 4 and the QC2 charger that came with it as well as another brand QC2 charger bought on amazon.com
When I attach the Note 4 to either charger (with a USB voltmeter in between), I get 9V and 1.5 A until 85% charge, then down < 1A for the rest.
D6633 (HK software installed) with both 4.4.4 and the new 5.0.2 firmware, starts with 5V (similar to the Note 4), then ramps up to 9V but cannot get any higher than 0.7 A. The original charger that came with the D6633 says 1.5A on it so theoretically, you get more power from that than the QC2 charger.
I am not sure whether it is a software issue or not and how to enable it.
Just an observation.
Thanks for your input, onurd.
Well, getting more A on the original charger than the QC 2.0 charger is actually odd. Why/how could that be?
Anyways, if not allowing the QC 2.0 charge is a Kernel limiting issue, modifying the original Kernel could make it happen, couldn't it? I know barely nothing about programming, but logically speaking, that does make sense...
I know it is odd but it doesn't look like that the device is "requesting" more amperage from the charger. So using a regular (or the original charger) over the QC2 charger makes more sense (5V x 1.5 A = 7.5 W vs 9V x 0.7 A = 6.3 W)
I do think is it a software issue but I don't know to "enable" it. Does anybody with an unlocked bootloader on CM 12 has a different experience maybe?
As per my title, can anyone confirm if the UK version of the Sony Z3 D6603 is Quick Charge 2.0 compatible?
If so I can't find a Sony Quick Charge 2.0 adapter either?
Many thanks,

Hello figo_rulz,
I can comfirm that the Sony Xperia Z3 D6603 has Quick Charge 2.0 built in, as the Sony Xperia Z3 Consists of the 'Snapdragon 801 chip' which is believed to hold the Quick charge 2.0 Capability (You can also check on their website: https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/quick-charge)
Sony sells a 'Quick charger' also here's the link listed below:

So just reading up and it seems EP880 adapter which is what all UK Z3's have is what the adapter also is with the EP881. The only difference is actually the cable as this has two ferrite cores which prevents interference and the EP880 has none. so ideally I would just need to look for the cable as my adapter is capable of this quick charging 2.0! Apparently the cable we have is the EC803 without the two ferrite cores and the one you need to enable quick charging 2.0 is EC802!
The search goes on for the cable!
I use my note 4 quick charger and it works
How fast is it?

Despite of what Sony says in this link:
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z3-Z3-Dual/Quick-Charge-2-0/m-p/973745#U973745
I have tested different chargers and came to the conclusion that Quick Charge 2.0 does work with the Xperia Z3 (at least with my variant, the D6633). I could verify that I have happily charged my Xperia Z3 from 10% to 100% in a little less than two hours, using a Motorola Moto Maxx (Droid Turbo) charger, which is a charger with Quick Charge 2.0 technology.
Moreover, I have also verified the charging currents with the Battery Monitor Widget app, and noticed that using different chargers can drastically change the charging speed of our phone.
I am going to take some screenshots tonight when I put the Xperia Z3 to charge and then upload them here tomorrow.
SONY Quick Charger EP881 is NOT QC2.0 compatible/certified. I own one & shipped charger seems better but I hv no clue why.
OK, here are the results for my charging.
Up to 40%, I have recharged my phone with a Moto Maxx (Droid Turbo) Quick Charge 2.0 charger, then I changed to the stock/original Xperia Z3 "quick" charger (EP881), which I have no idea why is named "quick" charger by Sony...
Notice the Moto Maxx charger got me a 1600ma/h charging, which would charge my phone in about 2 hours. The EP881 Sony Stock charger got me around 900ma/h charging. That would led me to a total recharging time of more than 3 hours.
I still could not test different Quick Charge 2.0 chargers, but I can assure that the Moto Maxx/Droid Turbo one DOES work with the Xperia Z3.
It IS QC2.0 compatible, HOWEVER: The charging setup is such that you'll only see a benefit in cases of charging while the system is under load.
The Z3 kernel limits battery charge current to 1.5A (approximately 0.5C) regardless of what charger is attached.
If you attach a non-QC2.0 charger with a VERY high quality cable (less than 3 feet with 24 gauge wire or thicker), you'll typically see 1.5A of battery current WHEN THE SCREEN IS OFF. Even in that case, you won't see consistent 1.5A input into the battery (use CurrentWidget)
Turn the screen on and you will NOT see 1.5A of current going into the battery with a non-QC2.0 charger, as the battery power in is (Vbus input limit - system load)
However, if you have a QC2.0 charger, even with a thin USB cable that would normally lead to extremely poor charging performance, you'll see 1.5A go into the battery under almost any load condition.
TL;DR - It's QC2.0 capable but you'll only see a difference when the device's screen is NOT off. If the device is plugged in to a high-quality USB cable and the screen is off, you'll see only minimal differences.
You'll see a MASSIVE difference if you use one of these cables - http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Micro-USB-Cable-UUSBHAUB3RA/dp/B001AR4NC8/ - These cables aren't particularly good for charging with a standard charger because they're thin - but that same "problem" makes them good for connecting to a phone in a car mount. (I cannot find heavier-gauge cables with a right angle connector). If you use a standard charger with them, you'll find your battery draining with Google Maps Navigation. With a QC2.0 car charger - the battery will actually charge while running Navigation.
I've confirmed QC2.0 functionality with a Tenergy wall charger, a Powermod car charger, and an Aukey external pack. The Tenergy wall charger is nice in that it has an indicator light - blue if in "standard" 5v mode, green if in 9v or 12v QC2.0 modes. Sony's stock chargers are NOT QC2.0 capable.

I find it interesting that you say this, because even with the phone left untouched I can't even get 1.0A charging with the stock charger and stock usb cable. As I have shown in my post before, I get a 0.8 to 0.9A charging, and yes, the screen is off. I have not touched my phone during this time at all. What can I conclude from that? Isn't the stock usb cable good enough?
Moreover, if this limit is set the by Z3 Kernel, it is possible to edit in the stock kernel, isn't it?
Regards.

In my case, I was using a Samsung tablet charger. These actually increase their voltage slightly under load to compensate for cable losses. I forget what Sony's stock charger is rated - but if you're only seeing 0.8-0.9A, then it might be on the weak side (just like the 2012 Nexus 7 had a weak charger). I pretty much exclusively use Anker multiport power supplies and either Monoprice or Anker heavy-gauge (24AWG for Monoprice, supposedly 21 for the Anker, lower is thicker/better here) cables.
A QC2.0 charger makes the cable selection FAR less important - transferring a given wattage requires less current at 9V than at 5V, which leads to less resistive losses in the cable. Same principle as why power grids use hundreds of kilovolts for long-haul transmission lines.
Yes the kernel could be altered, but since the battery is nonreplaceable, few responsible developers are going to do it. Heck, sony AOSP currently disables the HVDCP service due to paranoia about ensuring that ALL battery management protection mechanisms are in place before turning it on in AOSP. (I am fairly certain they ARE all there, but I want to do some more digging.)
HVDCP?what is that?so if the kernel is altered then quick charge 2.0 can be used?so now my z3 d6653 can only charge a maximum current of 1.5 A?

HVDCP - High Voltage Dedicated Charging Port - I think Qualcomm is actually attempting to get QC2.0 standardized (they're already licensing it to non-QCOM OEMs - the Galaxy S6 supports it, as does NVidia's SHIELD Tablet, NV doesn't market the capability AT ALL but it's there!), so there are lots of references to naming conventions consistent with the USB Battery Charging Standard
DCP - Dedicated Charging Port (dumb wall charger)
SDP - Standard Downstream Port (PC port, limited to 500 mA)
CDP - Charging Downstream Port (PC port, allows for higher current) - Android device support for CDP detection is pretty rare, lots of kernel developers will risk damaging SDPs by simply forcing CDP behavior from an SDP
Even without kernel alterations, Quick Charge 2.0 is used - Quick Charge 2.0 is defined as delivering 9v or 12v from the wall to the device in order to deliver more power. It's up to the OEM whether to dump more of that into the battery, or simply to use it to allow for higher total system power. Without QC2.0, the Z3 can only charge at full rate in the absolute best of circumstances (screen turned off, even then it doesn't always reach 1.5A) - with QC2.0, the Z3 can charge at full speed even with the screen on.

Yes, it will charge faster.
How much faster depends on what you're doing. If the device's screen is off and it's idle, only a little bit faster.
If you're running Google Maps Navigation in a car, the difference will be massive. As in "charging at a decent rate vs. discharging despite being connected to a power supply".
It will charge in around 130 minutes with QC2.0, and around 210 minutes with the stock charger (EP880).
At least that's how it works for me.

I find that my U11 is now frequently not fast-charging even when using the supplied charger. In some cases I found that pushing in the USB C connector (firmly) fixed the problem.
I'm using fast chargers and leads that worked fine with my HTC 10. Any ideas? Are others experiencing problems?
I hope I've not got a faulty device.
this is one thing I was afraid of, what to do when the USB port gets damaged
how to keep it charged.
if we had the option for wireless charging, then at least even if the USB is damaged, we can still wireless charge, but unfortunately this beautiful phone did not come with the wireless charge feature.

Have you checked the USB C port on your device for dust or something of that sort that could be preventing proper connection?
Are you using the OEM usb cable with it too? I only had problems with aftermarket cables on my U Ultra.
At work I have this pre-historic (10+yo at least) thin white generic mini USB cable with mini to micro and micro to C adapters, supplying power from Samsung fast charger (unofficial qc 2.0) and still "Quick Charger connected"
Will try if better cable charges faster though - with backlight all the way up and Pokemon go running (inside building, GPS roams a lot) it just keeps the charge level, with low backlight it charges.
Huge improvement over Xperia Z3+ (Snapdragon 810) though - that power hungry menace lagged pretty much everywhere where graphics were involved and discharged on QC 2.0 charger even when e.g. media scanning or playing Hill Climb Racing that worked fine on Moto Droid 4
I agree quick charge 3.0 is not that quick.

Using a newer cable (had it for about a year, good condition, premium quality), it charges even with 100% backlight and power-hungry apps running. Not sure how fast though, it doesn't really matter to me while at work. It's not even QC 3.0, it's a year old Samsung Adaptive Fast Charger that's unofficially compatible with QC 2.0. Using the stock QC 3.0 charger with display off, the phone charges under 2 hrs.
Mind that the more the battery is charged the slower it's charging - advantage of QC is mainly in reviving a dead phone into a usable state. Otherwise it would cripple the battery capacity fast.
So, I am satisfied with my U11 and its charging performance
Read this.. https://www.qualcomm.com/news/onq/2015/06/30/qualcomm-quick-charge-20-technology-explained
Beamed in by telepathy.
It's annoying they didn't implement QC 4.0 in the U11 for whatever reason but I have experienced the "check cable" message like twice. The HTC 10 did it too though unless I had a custom kernel and then it consistently worked. It's probably a kernel coding issue. It takes about 2 hours for my U11 to go from 1-100 and the battery temperature is much lower than the M7, M8, and 10 which all hit around 115-120F while charging. The U11 maxes out at 109F. I've yet to see it any higher.
So far the only device to have QC 4.0 is the Nubia Z17 (and its actually got the new QC 4+, not straight 4.0) - Qualcomm hasn't explained why there are no QC 4.0 devices on the market.

U11 has hard coded charge rate of 1A when the screen is on. Not sure why, temperature maybe? You'll see charge rates about 3x that with the screen off. 0-90% in ~1 hour.

Since October OTA update, which says August update. Fast charging is doing what the pixels did. Only fast charges with supplied charger. Any other fast charger does not work.
An answer in Lenovo's support forums says the G5 does not support Turbo Power, but it comes with a 10W rapid charger. The problem that here in Brazil not even this 10w charger gets shlpped with the phone, neither can I find it for sale, so I'm thinking about getting a 15W Turbo Power charger, does anyone knows if it'll charge the G5 (25W and above are reportedly not working with the G5)
It won't work, But you'll get fast charge tho (NOT TurboCharge, which is even faster. Just standart fast charge)

I bought my Moto G5 in Brazil near the launch date, it did come with the 10 W charger (5V-2A, W = V x A, do the math). As far as I know, Snapdragon 430 support Quick Charge 3.0. I bought a ROCK charger with Quick Charge 3.0, just waiting for it to arrive from Aliexpress, should work just fine.

Well, I didn't know that this would result in 10W. Anyways, as far as I know the moto G5 doesn't support Turbo/Quick charge, despite using the Snapdragon 430. I say thay because none of the TurboPower chargers in Motorola's website cites the G5 as supported (only G5+/G5S), in addition, I read many reports in Lenovo's official forum repporting it doesn't support Quick/Turbo Charge, like here: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-G...g-with-Qualcomm-quick-charge-3-0/td-p/3828209
In other words, a 15W charger is not supposed to provide great advantages over the regular charger that came with it.
Anyways, thanks for showing me a 5v-2a equals 10w, I googled and confirmed it.

You are welcome.
To be honest I have been using the Quick Charger but can confirm if it's working or not. I usually just plug the phone before going to sleep, when I wake up it's already 100% . I will search if there's anything available to detect if it's using the quick charge or not.
Did it work?
I'm using my wife's charger from her G4+ and it seems not boost the charger at all. It takes the same time with my own charger. Normally, batteries got a regulator that protect the battery from being overpowered and, maybe, exploded. So, if it was setted to 2A max it won't work anyway. Also, the official charger detects, through USB interface, if the device support Boosted Charging before sending 3A. If you wanna save your money, my advice is don't buy it.
Moto G5 doesn't support Qualcomm 2.0 or 3.0 which charge at 9V or 12V. My original charger used to charge at 5.2V and up to 1.5A, but it doesn't anymore, now doesn't go over 5.0V. Very difficult to charge when powered on when normal charger only manages about 0.6A . Also have problem with portable battery packs, best option is to connect external battery when full, and it just about stops internal battery falling. Maybe the connector wearing out, have tried different cables....

Sometimes it can be as simple as a tiny piece of pocket lint/crud in the USB charging port. You can buy cans of compressed air to blow them out same as used on Camera lens or check with magnifying glass and then a toothpick with care to clean anything found out.

Blast from past on old phone! The usb port eventually failed completely, fortunately the little board is easy to replace, but the replacement board only lasted a few months. I still have the phone as a spare and charge the removable battery out of the phone.
