Nexus 5 Quick Charge?!? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought the Aukey 5 port desktop charger which has AIPOWER technology so it outputs the specific current for each device. I have found the Nexus 5 charges very quickly - maybe in under 60-90 minutes. What's more, on the lock screen, it says "Charging Rapidly".... So does that mean it has quick charge or something like it?

It seems like it has something that allows it to charge quicker but its not quick charge 2.0, i use a regular 1.8a blackberry charger and it goes from 0% to 100% in around 70-80min like you mentioned.

Here you go

There are reviews on amazon saying it charges the nexus 5 quicker, I guess you need a use a kilowatt meter or use the app to find out what mah its at and see if its better than a tablet or other chargers.
Can you download ampere from the play store and reply its mah current,
1amp is somewhat average for me and its charged around 80mins with USB quick charge

Just Xiaomi PowerBank 16000.

Hi, its about 1AMP

Well, Nexus 5 comes with Qualcomm's Quick Charge 1.0 as far as I know (same as Nexus 4) and in theory it should charge faster (up to 40% faster compared to devices without it) when connected to certified charger. But they also stated while back that you don't have to buy any new charges to take advantage of this...it's already supported with your old charger...so dunno what's going on there... I'll try to charge my N5 with QC 2.0 charger and see what will happen ...

This was back in 2014, we were harnessing lightning bolts as engineering project.
It's wireless BTW.

Jokes apart, the actual performance I get.
Xiaomi charger, rated at 2.0amp.
Nexus 5 running cata 6 and elementalx 6.05
The back of the phone does get slightly warm.
My Nexus 5 is 1yr 7mnths old.
I get about 3.5-4hr SOT over 24hrs of usage on single charge.
I notice that the speed depends a lot on the USB cable used.
I feel that I may get better battery performance after I get a new one, since over all this while I have used the phone very rigorously.
Screenshots:
Update:
I feel that even with 1530ma sustained charge rate, the battery would take 1.33 hrs.
((100-11)/100)*2300=2047
2047/1530=1.3379hrs

I will try with Quick Charge 3.0 tomorrow

What amp charger does the Note 4 have?

Is it 2a?
I pre-ordered it and wish to have backup wall/car chargers ready to go for next week.
Tnx
It's a 2A Quickcharge 1.0 unit. Quickcharge boosts the voltage (to ~9v from 5v) when the phone is less than 50%, so you can't get just ANY 2 amp charger and expect it to work as quickly.
If you care (or are willing to wait) Quickcharge 2.0 wall plugs should ship in ~2 months. That boosts the input to 15 volts (IIRC) and will supposedly charge from 0% to 100% in about 45 minutes.
yeah I guess I can wait. I can always keep an old 1a plug by the bed for long overnight charges.
Does samsung sell oem chargers at release date?
9V 1.67A and 5V 2A is what it says on the charger
9V 1.67A is the rapid charging part
it's a dual voltage charger. 5v @ 2.0A and 9v @ 1.67A
For some unknown reason, I have a 2.1 amp car charger and cheap 1 amp ac charger. My HTC One M7 charge slow but the Note 4 charge much faster using the same charging device. I dont know what it is, but I like it!
So the charger on Samsung's website is not the same one that came with the Note 4?

Not sure it has anything to do with the Fast Charging hardware. The Fast Charging works with the provided charger, which is a dual voltage one. I used my iPhone's/iPad's car charger with my Note 4 and didn't notice a speed-up in charging time.
On a tangential note: I can't find anyone who sells the Note's fast charger separately yet and I needed another one for use with the Note 4 at the office. So I used the Asus charger that came with my original 3G Nexus 7 (which remains forgotten on a shelf). It works pretty well. I noticed that the Asus charger charged all my handsets (HTC One M8, Nexus 5, Z2, Oppo Find 7) pretty reliably -- the M8 and Nexus 5 seemed to charge faster compared with their stock chargers.
Anyone who's held the Asus charger knows it's a little bit bulkier and a few ounces weightier than the usual chargers that come with smartphones these days so there may be a hardware component to it. Whatever it is, it's probably the best standalone charger I've had the cables connect via a USB port so you can use it with your iPhone too.
If you can find at a garage sale or some random tech shop, you should pick one up. Works great with everything.

I just got one of those too, and it's great. Wish it wasn't so big, but it does the job.
I just picked up a couple of Anker dual-USB wall chargers. They have higher amperage (2.4A) than most standard chargers and on both USB ports simultaneously (many dual-USB chargers lower the output when both ports are in use). Between the better charging times, the dual ports and the build quality, I'm very satisfied.
The Anker charger with Qualcomm Quick Charge tech looks even better, but I don't have any experience with it personally.
Show me the link and experience, thanks!

i have the htc rapid charger 2.0 and the aukey rapid charger (+the 10000mah external battery quick charge)
both work really well. if i knew about the aukey. i woulda originally gone for that first
Quick review of the Keedox Quick charger 2.0:
Well it has the official logo of Qualcomm Quick charger 2.0 printed on it but I kinda find it as slow as the stock charger from hTC :crying:
Tested from 45% to 100%
Till 80% it's amazingly fast with 20% every 10min but once over 80% it's slowing down, from 90% to 100% it's extremely slow like 1% every 5 mins
It took 75 mins to charge these 65% while it's supposed to charge from 10% to 100% in an hour (80%)
So we are pretty far from the advertised +70% faster charger.
Take in consideration that I am using Viperom 2.2 for the time being based on 1.40, these Roms are known to have bugs with charging time, so I am waiting for the upcoming Leedroid based on OTA 1.40 Rom to be sure this charger is crap and give a negative review on Amazon.
I am still waiting for my TechMatte car quick charger, my sis still didn't finish to empty her 2 suitcases, girls...
I don't think it's a matter of cable, I am using the same USB 2.0 cable that I used back with the Quick charger of the S6 on the S6, it was charging the S6 from 20 to 100% in 50 mins.

The Aukey quick charger I have does the same type of throttling thing once it gets around that 85% mark. I haven't paid enough attention to my Droid Turbo charger to see if it does the same thing. I figured it was just a safety feature of the Aukey charger.

So these are quick charger only from 0 to 85% !! The S6 stock charger on S6 was also slowing down at 85% but it wasn't that slow, the results were certainly faster.
Again I can't give a definitive conclusion about the Keedox before I try a stable rom based on the official latest OTA
Sent from my HTC One M9 using XDA Free mobile app
The slowdown at ~80% full is the expected behavior to be easy on the battery. I find the quick charge most valuable when I am about to leave home and I can use the last remaining minutes to cram some juice into the battery. Main charging happens overnight for me without any need to hurry.
The slowdown >90% is behavior I have seen on every phone I have ever owned. It is a safety feature to avoid overcharging the battery. Overcharged li-ion batteries have been known to explode and catch fire, after all.
It may simply be that HTC is more conservative with its batteries than Samsung is.

Hmm ...
Now this makes sense ... Now I get why my charger works lil slower above 85% ...
Updated Viper Rom to 2.3, the Keedox charged my M9 from 34% to 94% in a matter of 35 mins
Thanks!
It looks like the htc m9 is slow with quick charger 2.0 anyway, gsmarena posted a 2h charging time for 0 to 100%.
So my Keedox is not bad after all

This one is good : [Qualcomm Certified] Tronsmart® Quick Charge 2.0 18W USB Car Charger
Opt among 1 output, 2 output or 3 output. However, please note that only 1 output port supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0. Rest 2 are fast, however, not QC 2.0 Fast.:good:
what is it i need one ?
Check slickdeals. I've been using the $5 one (on sale). It outputs 12v so it charges the phone very fast.

This is 2.1amp, and is the smallest, it can virtually snap right into your car charger port, without the protruding charger popping out.

Technology is same. High Volt, low Ampere. Any QualComm Certified QUick Charger would be compatible with Samsung's Adaptive Fast Charging. Atleast any branded ones, never go for any unheard brands. Usually Tronsmart, Aukey and Anker are good choices in average budget. Here's a video review I did for Tronsmart Adapter (Quick Charge) with my Edge+ :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR8W9ozZgAs
Also, please note that I have no affiliation with any of these brands, I just received a product for the review from Tronsmart and I found it really good. And I'm sure Aukey and Anker are equally good.:fingers-crossed:
Also, the Car Charger you are considering isn't fast charging compatible. Although it will not take much time with high Amp output (as specified), but its definitely not a fast charger.
Well, I am using CHOETECH’s Dual USB Car Charger with a dedicated port certified by QUALCOMM’s quick charge 2.0 technology so that I can charge my S6 Edge plus at quick charging rate even on the go. The main specialty of this charger is that it is not only charge the fast charging devices but also Apple devices like iPad Air 2 or iPhone 6 plus at much fast rate as compared to their original charger. You can consider to buy this from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YX7Y3G8/

Thats very good info. Charging technology is evolving with the phones, and thats a very positive start.
The day is not very far when we might have multi thousand mah of battery juice and charging becomes a weekend job.
Do you mind taking notes while charghing 20% of battery with both the qualcomm fast charge, and the regular 2.1amp charger.
I've already placed an order for the Aukey 4.8A / 24W Dual USB Car Charger mainly because of the size. I'd really want a charger that can **** plush within the car's charging port.

Charging isn't a very quantitative process. First 20% of charging would never be same as next 20% of charging. Usually with fast charger, the first 20% would be amazingly fast while the regular 2.1 amp might take upto 1.5 - 2 times the time. Also, assuming two different devices have same sized battery, with the same charger, one might get 70% charged within 30 min while the other can get 80% charged. However, by the end of 100%, both might take similar time. Thats why, the % readings aren't very consistent or dependable. Its approximation. With 2.1 Amp charger, you won't loose much time, trust me. Also, I don't have the facts, but I have noticed that when I do the fast charging, battery drains out marginally quicker than when I charge through regular 2 Amp charger. Hope that helps.. :fingers-crossed:

I tried it yst evening while commuting back home from work, which is about 20min drive, and the phone was at at 50%, and it was able to charge about 30% in less than 30 mins. Looks promising. I love the form factor. you cannot evne see the charger plugged into the car port. Best of all, the car port's cover covers the entire charger when not charging, this way i dont even have to remove the charger jack every time i have to charge the car, just pluck out the wires, and snap the cover back to conseal the charger.

With constant gaming and videos watching (after working hours ofcs ), mine doesn't stay beyond a day. I'm very happy with that though. I have seen significant different in battery life when I keep the power saving mode on and it doesn't really impacts my gaming at all even though it says that power saving switches to the 1.5 ghz cores and stays that way...!
It doesn’t matter a lot but yeah the main thing is internal circuit and the premium component used in the manufacturing. All of the chargers integrated with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 chip inside. But the best components used in the manufacturing plays a vital role. I can trust CHOETECH more in this area as they are offering 18 months warranty, which means they are confident about what they produce or deliver to their consumers.

Aukey Car Charger Not QC 3.0 as Advertised

Update 7th May 2016:
I've tested the replacement but it isn't the same model, the new one has 1 QC 3.0 + 1 IQ port instead of the original 2x 3.0. It's this one
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01ALQWQFO/
This one is performing as I'd expect from 3.0 with multiple voltages between 5v & 9v & 1A with screen on whatever the temp.
They have now amended the product description of the original to highlight incompatibility with LG G5.
Update 3rd May 2016:
Quick update. I have been contacted by the seller & they say that, whilst the charger does meet QC 3.0 certification, they have identified that the "PD" chip is incompatible with the LG5. They have a new version they are sending me that should rectify this. I'll post an update once I've tested.

Original post:
AUKEY Quick Charge 3.0 Car Charger 36W Dual Ports for LG G5, HTC One A9, Nexus 6, iPhone, Samsung S7and more (Includes 1 Meter Micro USB Cable) - Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01B5X35FM/
It says QC 3.0 on the charger but it is actually 2.0
Measured with an online voltage meter, it is only charging my LG G5 with 9v whereas my other QC 3.0 chargers output around 6v. Now this won't make much difference with screen off, with both charging at similar 3A rate, but when screen on, the 3.0 chargers output 1A but this only manages 0.3-0.6 depending on device temperature, exactly the same behaviour as other QC 2.0 chargers I have.
If you've bought 1 & it says 9v ish on a volt meter or you don't get 1A when screen on, it's not QC 3.0

Interesting.... Especially since I currently have this charger on the way.
I know when I mount my phones to the windshield mount it get quite hot. Is it possible the is causing the circuit to reduce draw to protect from over heating? Have to tried contacting AUKEY about the issue?
I'll have to check it out once it arrives.

I was hot swapping several times between this & another 3.0 car charger. Without fail the other performed exactly as my AC QC 3.0 chargers & this just like my 2.0 ACs. In terms of mAh & voltage.
I'm just sending it back for a refund as can't be bothered getting into a to & throw with them. I'm actually a bit angry about it.

I look forward to hearing what they say.
Mine hasn't shipped yet (I ordered a few things together from Amazon).
Aukey is a Qualcomm certified QC 3.0 brand. I was looking to buy the Aukey as well but evidently buying one for the expected results seems like buying a box of kiddy cereal looking for the last piece of a puzzle.......or visiting McDonald's for the missing Monopoly piece. Wow.
Did you use a usb 3 or usb 2 cable because this makes all the difference and most people don't know this.

I'll post my results as my Aukey Dual port QC 3.0 car charger ( as well as Aukey's dual port wall charger QC 3.0 and RAVPower 20100mAh Portable Charger with QC 3.0 & USB-C) arrives today, Wednesday 4/26/2016.
I'm going to have to check this out on my aukey car charger now...

Mine arrived and checking with Ampere app on my LG G5 one port is giving me about 1400mA which is about correct. The other port read MUCH lower between 50mA to 550mA, that is waaaaaay to low.
My Nexus 6P though not a QC 3.0 still give me much higher reading in one port vs the other. I know Ampere isn't super accurate but the difference is too big.
I'll have to try again tomorrow.

I like Anker but haven't seen a dual car charger where both ports are QC 3.0 or a USB type see port and an QC 3.0 port.
So I did a quick test last night. I decided to ignore the Ampere reading and just charge my LG G5 from about 30 minutes (31 minutes actually). My G5 went from 49% to 89% in 31 minutes while simultaneously charging my Nexus 6 P (not A QC 3.0 device) from 43% to 62% in the same 31 minutes.
so it appears to work in actual use. I'll have to try again soon, but for now I think I'm ok with it and will trust my results more than the reading from the app.

In those circumstances you won't see any differences between QC 2 & 3.
A couple of ways to spot the difference
1. With an in-line voltage meter the QC 3 will output at various volts between 6&9v. The QC2 will show just 5 & 9v
2. With screen on & phone temp above 35c (to a lesser extent 32c) the QC2 will charge significantly slower than QC3

Another update. I was running a stress test to warm the phone for more comparison & this charger couldn't even provide a net positive charge. When I swapped to another 3.0 (review up soon ), I was getting 1Amp charge again.
The extra voltage steps in QC3 definitely are a big advantage when phone under heavy load.

Can anyone confirm that quick charge or LG fast charge only activates when batt is below 10% and fast charges it to 80% then normal charging happens up to 100%. I read that somewhere. Charging with the stock LG I expected it to be fast. But that was charging from 22%. I had to chance to charge from 5% and in 15 mins it was up to 30%.

I get fast charge whatever percentage I start at.
3C reports 3A to about 60% then gradually tails off.

As stated above, the percentage your phone is currently at shouldn't matter. The phone and charger will determine the best voltage and Amperage at witch to charge depending on current charge levels and temperature.
If you're batter is already at a high level it will slow down the charging to properly "fill" up the battery safely.
Having to be under 10% is ridiculous. I try to never let my phone get below 40% if possible, much less 10%.
Quick update. I have been contacted by the seller & they say that, whilst the charger does meet QC 3.0 certification, they have identified that the "PD" chip is incompatible with the LG5. They have a new version they are sending me that should rectify this. I'll post an update once I've tested.

quick charge 4.0

They added qc4, but it's more like qc3 with just 18w(9v 2A). I hope a kernel mod will allow the phone to get 27w which will charge the phone completely in approx 1h 30m to 1h 40m rather than 2h 15m with the 18w charger.
Whatcha think nerds?
I think that's a bad idea as they will have specified a battery suitable for 18W charging ...
Battery should last for ages, anyway. It's 5000mAh, very close to pure AOSP, and the display is by no means large.
If you endlessly play with the camera motor, it might drain a bit faster, but otherwise, I suspect this will have the best battery life of any phone in the small flagship class.
I'm fine with QC3.0, since I've used that a lot.
But if it does come with QC4.0 then I couldn't be more happier.
With the battery capacity it has, I don't think I need to charge it all the time so QC3.0 is something extra for me.
The sustained speeds should be higher due to the battery size but I wouldn't personally want to risk modding the charging speed. Sounds like they made the insulation layers pretty small to get the capacity at the expense of charging rate.
My main concern is how well it sustains the speed and the temperatures (QC4 should be decent in that regard) because any maximum speed will drop off a cliff when it gets to 70-80% anyway.
Does it have 4.0 or 4.0+? I've seen some spec sheets saying it has 4.0+

It's really difficult to even find data on what the difference of those two are in real world scenarios. If I'm not mistaken the + version requires two PMICs (whereas it sounds like it was optional before) and I think the Zenfone might just have one. Asus themselves advertise 4 without the plus. If you ask me, Qualcomm should just have called it 5.0 to avoid the confusion especially because Qualcomm's own marketing material is very vague on this.

The phone didn't charge any faster with my Black Shark 2's QC4+ 27W charger....I need to test that again.

Yes please do that. Will be waiting for some better or whatever results. Thanks in advance.

I'd be surprised if the battery didn't get dangerously hot if it's done.
The separator wall of cathode and anode on a battery that can handle faster quick charging would need to be thicker.
Asus chose 5000mAh with a smaller separator to keep size down. In the same size, ASUS could have chosen, like many others have, to have gone with a ~4000mAh battery with a thicker wall to support 30W+ fast charging.
It comes down to trade-offs based on physics. I'm always game for experiments though
Did a very little test. on org charger and cable
Battery on 65% did give 7,5 Volts and 1,65-1,70 Amps
Hello, today, I bought this phone and I plugged it into charger for the first time. However, in my opinion, the phone warms up relatively high compared to my previos samsung S8+. Have you got any experience whit this? Maybe I am too much perceptive and it's normal. And maybe it is the difference between Quick Charge 2.0 (s8+) vs Quick Charge 4.0 (asus)

Mine warms up "as expected" I would say.. nothing surprising at least. Its going to be warmer or less warm depending on where in the charge cycle it is as well
27 w charge
Can we get faster charge while we use 27W adapter? Or will it break the device?

The difference between quick charge 4.0 vs 4+ is that 4+ is compatible with USB PD (power delivery) which is the fastest charging standard, its what i think OnePlus and Samsung use for their tech. 4.0+ was revealed in 2017 a year after 4.0. It's lame but unfortunately Asus's zenfone 6 current batches do not support 4+ (however 4+ charging is still backwards compatible with 4, 3, and 2.0, that's why when @MishaalRahman tried their QC4+ 27W charger it didn't charge any faster, it just downgrades to 4.0 charging speed)
there's a chance a refresh of Asus's zenfone 6 may happen with 4+ release. Doubt it..but who knows
4.0 is still supposed to charge faster than 3.0 but I personally don't really see that increase in charge speed. Could be because of the size of the battery but either way I'm still happy with it because the large battery just means less charging (for me personally) since I just mostly do google searches and text, and once in a while use snapchat/ig. Its the perfect phone for me, I bought it yesterday to replace my Pixel XL (gen 1).
