About quick charge - Xiaomi Mi 4C

HELLO GUYS
i just got the tronsmart quick charger and remax type c cable
i see that its charge my xiaomi mi4c a little bit faster then the original one but theres not big diffrence
i tried on my girlfriend lg g4 and the charging is really fast
i think that xiaomi has built in limit for the charging
any idea what to do to skip that limit?

Until xiaomi releases kernel source code and a custom kernel is developed, nothing can be done about the charging limits (which is true and tested). I used the same charger to charge my HTC M8 and it has quick charge compared to the M8 original charger.

There's a good reading material here: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/charging-analysis-between-oneplus-2-and-xiaomi-mi-4c.387573/
I'm not sure whether it's kernel controllable or not, but even if yes, we need the kernel source to modify it.

From what I have understood, the original cable that came with the MI4c is a modified Micro-USB type B cable, and not a "real" USB-C cable. So your (and my) MI4c phone draws a maximum of 5V~2A from the original charger and the standard USB-C cable, whereas the LG G4 draws a maximum of 20V~5A from the USB-C cable. This means that the LG get more power, faster from the USB-C cable you bought, and therefore gets charged faster - and you will not notice a big difference when using the USB-C cable, as your phone only draws the mentioned 5V~2A.
Do yourself a big favor, and throw away your original cable from Xiaomi, as it might potentially break your charger, laptop etc. if you use it in your girlfriends phone!

G4 does not have USB Type c cable.

Good to know... I just assumed there was USB-C type cable to the G4 as OP apparently were able to charge the phone with a USB-C type cable.
OP must have mixed up the model name of the phone, then.

Hi, I tried an Anker and Aukey quickcharge wall charger with some issues...I used till now the original battery charger with its usb cable. I usually charge the phone turning it off... When it gets to 100% I unplug the phone and then turn on .. that's normal ok... But I noticed that using another compatible charger that uses Qualcoom 2.0 quick charge technology.. once the phone gets 100% and I unplugg the charger my phone boots by itself.. Why does it happen with this charger and not with the original one???

Official 22.5W Dual Port USB Type-C Charger has only 1 port with rapid charging

I just received the official Universal 22.5W Dual Port USB Type-C Charger from the Google Store only to discover that only one of the ports offers rapid charging (as noted at the bottom of the Nexus 6P lock screen). I tested this using the USB Type-C cable provided with this charger. No other device was being charged in the second port during my testing.
Major bummer since this is not a cheap charger. Anyone else run into this?
it says on the box that it "Intelligently diverts 15W to the port that need the most power" I'm guessing this isn't true?

Spoke with Google support and they said the exact same words. They confirmed that when two rapid-charging-capable devices are plugged in, only 1 of the devices will receive rapid charging. I don't have two rapid-charging-capable devices to confirm their claim unfortunately. The weird part is that it seems like only 1 port is dedicated to rapid-charging, while the other port will only provide "regular" charging. Going to return it.
It's quite straight forward from the rating itself. If both the port were able to radip-charge, the power should be 30W instead of 22.5W.
Ill have 2 phones to test mine with Monday. I'll post a video/picture for you guys.

Yes, but it makes it sound as if either port can deliver the full 15a if needed or if only one device is plugged in. If this isn't the case that is misleading and disappointing.
This is the second time I have seen someone post that the chargers Google is selling do not rapid charge. I have both the dual port 22.5w and 15w and both charge rapidly for me. Granted I only have my 6P plugged into the dual port. I was really worried after someone on G+ claimed the only way they were able to get the dual port to charge rapidly was with the type c to c cable that came in the 6P box.

Or rapidly charged my 5X with both cables ( the 5x one and 6'one that came with the charger)
My 22.5 W charger from the Google Store does the exact same thing. The port closer to the end of the charger gives "rapidly charging" and the other port just gives "charging" on my 6p with the other port free. Guess it isn't so automatic after all.
My wife's 5x shows charging from either port though. It seems the 5x has a lower threshold for displaying "charging rapidly" as it also shows this when charging from a 1.8 A charger that I have.

You should read people's post most thoroughly. He did NOT say that his 22.5w wouldn't rapid charge, he said it would only rapid charge from 1 of the ports.

Dang I'll have to test mine too... I did notice the new 22.5w charger with included longer btw cable then the one that came with it seemed to just be charging and not rapidly charging. I had thought maybe I was just charged up too much already... now I'm going to have verify...

This is because there is no RAPID CHARGING technology in either the phone or the charger! While either port can support 3A, they can't both do 3A simultaneously! Hence it is 22.5W rated and not 30W rated.
Hmm, interesting. I haven't noticed this yet. When I do plug my phone in (top port), I'm pretty sure it said "Charging Rapidly," but I'm going to confirm this when I get home today. Part of me thought it was taking longer to charge my phone through this charger than the charger that came with the phone, but figured it was just my perception.

You're not understanding. Let's say the charger has two ports: A and B. They are saying that if they plug the phone into port A with nothing in port B, they get rapid charging. If they plug it into port B with nothing in port A, they do NOT get rapid charging.

I do get that some people are SAYING they are getting the Rapid Charging banner from one port or the other, but not both. Got it. That is a test of what the phone is doing and not what the charger is capable of outputting. At 75% charged, I plugged my phone into a 2A charger and it read -384mA current flow. A minute or so later it said +1256mA. This is showing both the lag in the updates to the app and that the power control chip is managing the power flow.
Put a known resistive load on the charger and measure the current with a multi-meter. It should be the same for both ports, assuming the other port is empty.
I am waiting on delivery of some non-Google 5V/3A chargers (car and wall), when I finally get to test them, I will report back.

I can confirm this as well on mine. With the same phone plugged into Port A it rapid charges, but when moved from Port A to Port B it does not.
At least we are finding out it's not either port... It's obvious that 22.5W isn't enough to fast charge two low battery nexus 5x or 6p at the same time... google even said that. It just sounds like you can't use either port for the fastest charging. GTK though. Since there aren't any other type C chargers available right now I don't regret buying the 22.5W dual port... just a little upset it's really only on one of the two you can get the real type C rapidly charging.

Well the fast charging is 15W so what did you expect when you saw the rating of 22.5W? One port is for slow charging no matter what and the other fast charges. The inside port is the slow charging on based on testing mine and the outside one fast charges.
ofc... but...

Mine too... I think many of us would have thought that either port should be capable of 15W fast charging our new nexus's... I'm not sure if this was some oversight or what because nothing on the website or on the charger seems to indicate one charge port is different than the other... that was my main point.

3.0 Quick Chargers

Has someone gathered some experience with Mi5 compatible chargers supporting Quick Charge 3.0?
The original chinese charger that came with the 128GB Mi5 version actually has a QC 3 symbol on the back - while I read it supports just 2.0.
My 'dream' charger should have easy switchable power plugs so it can be easily adjusted to the country's power sockets you're staying in. I remember my old HTC phone once came with 3 different, interchangeable plugs out of the box!
I bought this and works perfectly http://goo.gl/vasfAw
You can also use the Aukey Quick Charge 3.0 products.
I got one for my Mi 5 and its full compatible, shows also quick charge when plugged in.

I'm using the AuKey Quick Charge 3.0 with 2 Ports and a "good" USB A 3.0 highspeed cable with 56k resistor.
If the display is off and you wake it up while its on charger, on the bottom you can see a notice if its quick or slow charging.

thanks for your quick reply!
I guess am using the same charger you mentioned (w/ 2 orange usb type a ports) in combination with the stock usb type a to c cable which was shipped with my MI5. The cable the charger came with was of little use as it is was not a type c cable :/
this notification you are talking of however.. how does it look like? atm I have no clue what I should be looking for to be honest
(I also tried an Anker QC 3.0 charger - performance-wise it was a lot worse than the Aukey charger and therefore went right back to Amazon)
I went for the Tronsmart qc3 for both car and regular. Good quality, just make sure you buy a decent cable along.

I think the stock charger isn't a QC 3.0 charger. (And neither is the cable IMO.)
But I am not sure, and not bothered to test. :cyclops:
To those who replied here with tronsmart or aukey QC3 chargers, does it come with a USB type C cable? I cannot find any info about this in google alone. TIA, cheers.
My aukey QC3 charger from amazon Germany came without any cable. I am therefore currently using the stock USB type C cable. I am however not sure whether that cable is 100% compliant and to be honest quite annoyed by all that controversy around the type C standard and QC3 and the incompatibility between both -.-

Hey Guys
Can anyone suggest a good, reputable, certified Qualcomm QC3 charger that has an included USB type-C cable?
I was eyeing on Tronsmart's QC3 1port wall charger, but I found out that it only has the micro-usb cable, and not the Type-C for Mi5.

An Aukey is on the way to me with the cable included.
I earlier suggested the BlitzWolf, but BlitzWolf is not really certified for QC3.

[QUESTION] Difference between UCH12 and UCH12W chargers?

So my phone came with the UCH12 charger and a usb C 3.1 cable, 1st gen i believe.
The adapter says it supports quickcharge 3.0, so can I use quickcharge? I read online that only the UCH12W can do quickcharge but I don't undersand why. What's the difference? My usb cable is a UCB20 model.
Can someone explain to me if I need the UCH12W adaptor and a different cable or something, or I just need a different cable with the current adapter?
According to my adapter it can output: 5 V/2700 mA, 9 V/1800 mA, 12 V/1350 mA, and according to the xperia.com page of the UCH12W that also outputs this exact same amount of power. So what's the difference and why doesn't quickcharge seem to work for me?

As I understand it (and hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong), the only difference is the cable. I read in one of the other threads that the cable that comes with the XZP doesn't support quick charge but the cable that comes with the UCH12W does support it. I'm guessing this is due to a wiring difference in the cables. I got the UCH12W on eBay and my XZP quick charges without issue, but I haven't tested this with the cable that came with the phone. I'll give it a go when I get home and see if this is true.
Long story short, I think the UCH12 doesn't come with a cable while the UCH12W does. Other than that, I'm pretty sure they're both the same charger.

Thx! Can you tell me, what model your usb cable is? It's on the little white leaflet thing, if it has one. So in theory, I only need a specific cable to do quickcharge?
So my cable that came with the phone is a UCB20 model, on the xperia site, I can see models like the UCB30 and UCB32. UCB32 won't do as that is a usb c - c cable, the adapter has an A connector first, so that's not gonna work. But the UCB30 is supposedly 2nd gen usb 3.1 type c cable. And it can support higher power flow. Could it be that the UCH12W comes with a cable like this? I didn't want to buy the cable because my the XZP only has a 1st gen usb c slot, so I wouldn't benefit from the 2nd gen speed at all. But maybe power would work.

I have downloaded an app called Ampere, it can relatively measure the ampere of battery charge and discharge. When i'm home in the weekend, I'll check with a portable battery, my old Z3 Compact adapter, and my current adapter. If nothing else my current one should shlw the highest amperage of the three. But I'm not sure my phone uses quickcharge. Because I don't experience the magic of putting my phone charging, me coming back in 30 minutes and I should see amazing results.

USB Type C to Type C Quick Charge

I upgraded to LG V30 from Nexus 6P. Skipped the Pixel and Pixel 2 series...
I have a large supply of USB Type C to Type C cables that rapidly charged my Nexus 6P....they will not fast charge the V30 though.
My Type A to C cables will not fast charge it either with anything but the stock LG charger.
I tried the "AUKEY Amp USB Charger with 60W Dual USB C & 4 USB Ports for LG G5, HTC 10, Nexus 5X / 6P and More" from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EXWXVWO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
That is supposed to support Quick Charge from both the Type A ports and Type C ports but LG V30 would not say fast charging with any of the ports or cables I used.
Is anyone having any luck with 3rd party Quick Chargers? I wireless charge at night with a dock and in my car but I like to have quick chargers spread around the house for when I need to charge up fast before running out of the house.
I'd prefer Type C ports so I can use all of my Type C to Type C cables...but I'll take anything that works. Looking for multi-port options like the Aukey above so my family can charge their devices too at the same time.
Any suggestions?

Thanks....really looking for one that has USB Type C ports...I have like a dozen of those cables now (type C on both ends)...all a different color than the USB Type A to Micro USB cables that all the other phones in my house use...makes it easy to grab the right cable among the bunch of them...
Are you getting super slow charge, like 4 hrs reported or just not quite as fast?
I have the Nexus 5x and that charger charhes my V30 close to the OEM QC3 charger, just slightly slower.
I did have some issues with a desktop USB-C PCI card triggering a file transfer mode, which gave it that 4 hr slow charge estimate. I had to reset it in developer options and reboot (even though it already was set to "charge only"). Something buggy going on.

I think it may be charging close to stock charger with my Nexus 6P compatible chargers and Type C cables....but my battery lasts so long and I wireless charge at night...so have not done real test where the battery was close to zero yet.
Was hoping for the phone to confirm it is in fast charge mode...but if it still charges fast that is good enough...we'll see...
I have the same issue. chargers and cables that work with my Nexus 6P do not necessarily charge the V30. seems the USB A to USB C cables don't work as they do for the 6P.

The fastest possible type C charging is Power Delivery (PD)
19V vs 9V (QC 2.0)
should we all email LG to let the know the V30 is very picky with QC3.0 chargers? maybe they can resolve this in a future update?
My V30, V20, and G5 all exhibit the same behavior when using USB-PD: 5V 2A or 9V 1.67A peak. So if you want the fastest possible charging you need a charger that supports 9V. The 5V 3A chargers wont cut it.

Yep, been noticing this too... Only 2a. It's still ok speed but not as good as the qc3 charger. Wonder if those who got c-c chargers got the 9v?

I upgraded to LG V30 from Nexus 6P. Skipped the Pixel and Pixel 2 series...
I have a large supply of USB Type C to Type C cables that rapidly charged my Nexus 6P....they will not fast charge the V30 though.
My Type A to C cables will not fast charge it either with anything but the stock LG charger.
I tried the "AUKEY Amp USB Charger with 60W Dual USB C & 4 USB Ports for LG G5, HTC 10, Nexus 5X / 6P and More" from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EXWXVWO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
That is supposed to support Quick Charge from both the Type A ports and Type C ports but LG V30 would not say fast charging with any of the ports or cables I used.
Is anyone having any luck with 3rd party Quick Chargers? I wireless charge at night with a dock and in my car but I like to have quick chargers spread around the house for when I need to charge up fast before running out of the house.
I'd prefer Type C ports so I can use all of my Type C to Type C cables...but I'll take anything that works. Looking for multi-port options like the Aukey above so my family can charge their devices too at the same time.
Any suggestions?

This has worked great on my v30. Charged it from 25% to 95% in about 40min. Only thing I don't like is that it has no light to tell if it's connected good in the plug

The fastest possible type c charging is the fastest charging standard both your phone and charger support. My zte Max xl will only charge at 5v 1.5a from a usb-pd charger, but it will charge at 9v 1.15a with a qc 2.0 charger.

I've got this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074N3ZJQJ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0722DMYTN/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and they QC my VS996 perfectly. Love the 6.6ft cables, especially bedside and in the SUV.
I've discovered something interesting about the V30 and PD. The V30 accepts 12V via PD but not via QC3.0. Up until now all of my PD chargers have been 5, 9, and 15V but I recently got a power bank that outputs 5, 9, and 12v. I've never seen a phone accept 12v before.

I have a 12v c-c power delivery charger and it still won't fast charge my phone. When I plugged it into the a to c yesterday it said fast charging 1h 10m remaining to full and when I use the c to c it says charging 1h 20m remaining. It's not much slow but it is and it makes no sense because usb c is the fastest possible way to charge something over USB.
Why would they make this phone use USB c if they aren't even taking advantage of it? My 6p had a bigger battery that charged faster than this phone because they actually utilize the USB c.

Power adapter and OTG accessories

Just got my 1+6 and I love it. Just thought I'd share that the 1+ power adapter doesn't work with other usb C cables for fast charge. It'll charge at regular speed but not fast. I have an OTG cable from Amazon that will not work at all. Make sure to buy OEM accessories

Did you put OTG mode on via advanced settings? It will go off automatically after 10 min inactivity. And yes, Dash charging needs original dash charger AND dash cable (or whatever it's called, the red Oneplus cable).
I have cheap chinese OTG-adapter and it works just fine, after enabling OTG mode every time when using.

Thanks for the OTG tip. Works like a champ!
what is so special about oneplus cables, it doesn't work for me either.

Those cables support an higher amperage current passing through and I also think they also have 1 or 2 more contacts in the type-c connector and larger ones in the type a usb

For my nexus6 I have fast charger which kicks up charging up to 9V - 1A.
This charger does not work with oneplus6 and charging only at 5V - 1A.
Also, nexus6 does not fast charging with oneplus charger and charging at 5V - 1A.
I am highly disappointed that we do not have standard for fast charging.
I use magnetic adapter and it's incredible convenient to use and I am not going to go back. And now I have to leave with retarded decision from Oneplus who cannot deliver normal fast charging from any chargers which able to deliver over 1A !!
Shame on you Oneplus !!
You need the cable provided with the phone to dash charge, because of the high current output while charging. Standard cables are rated to handle maximum 2amps, while OP uses 4amps.
Edit: VOOC and rapid charging cables have a special 5th pin used for verification
~Disregard below statement ~
Any cable will work as long as it is rated for 4A. The power brick has to be a dash or VOOC charger.

No it won't. How does the charger know the cable is rated at 4 amps?
There is stuff in both charger and cable and both must be present for dash charging to work

I didn't realize there is a 5th pin used as verification. Ideally the power brick and/or phone can detect the resistance of the cable but that's not the case here. Luckily most 4A cables I've found are VOOC or rapid charging compatible.
If someone needs a longer cable:
you can actually use a 3.0 USB extension cable as long as it is rated for more power.
some guys at the op community tested a few cables and confirmed this one working:

i dont know if i can post links to the OP Community but i will do it either

Just upgraded the misses from a OP 1 to an OP 6.
Until now we had also been using magnetic usb cables that are soooooo convenient.
My Nexus6 and her OP 1 charge at 1amp with them according to Ampere and were android auto recognized by our cars...
With them the OP6 only charges at 320mA and is not android auto recognized by our cars...
I'm looking for a magnetic usb cable upgrade so OP 6 works as I expect it to... I don't care about quick charging (have never needed it as battery is never empty when i set the phone to charge at night). I care about magnetic uber convenience and android auto recognition in the car.

I'm using this one
wsken.my/WSKEN-X-Cable/WSKEN-Micro-USB-Lightning-2.4A-Mini2-Magnetic-X-Cable-Black
already 3rd generation.
I cannot understand why we do not have universal standard magnetic connector,
it's so much more convenient to use.
I hope they will come up with magnetic otg and retarded audio adapter since everyone removing audio jack for no reason at all.
