No quickcharge 3.0 supprot. Is that a big deal? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion

So this says no quickcharge 3.0. Can't say I'm not disappointed. Time is money...
http://androidandme.com/2016/03/new...-not-have-qualcomms-quick-charge-3-0/?ref=yfp

Disappointed because I bought a QC3.0 charger before the manual stating it only supported QC2.0 was released.

From the link:-
Quick Charge 3.0 isn’t that much faster: Yes, we all want the latest and greatest technology, but Quick Charge 3.0 isn’t that much faster than Quick Charge 2.0.

A non-issue. So it might take an extra 20-30 minutes to go from 15% to 100%. No big deal unless you choose to make it one in your head. It's not as if we're talking hours here.

It would of been nice to have but no, it's not a big issue. I also would of loved to usb type c, but hey, still a great phone none-the-less.

With all of the issues with usb-c cables, I'm kind of glad they didn't go usb-c myself.
No real advantage besides a few mins saved charging (and hopefully not frying your device with a miswired usb-c cable you borrowed from a buddy or bought at an airport becasue you forgot yours.)
https://asia.cnet.com/news/usb-type-c-cable-problems/

I dont see it as a big issue, I will try to avoid the quick charging if I'm not in a hurry since it shortens(?) the life of the battery

Personally I think the lack of usb-c and QC 3.0 are a big deal. This is a premium handset and will be for the next year. There is absolutely no excuse for samsung to cheap out on these two things. I also bought a new car charger thinking Samsung would support QC 3.0 so could of saved myself £10 as my current S6 car charger would of done the job.

Cant keep all the whingers happy can they

Heard the Edge lasts about 1.5 to 2 days with regular use. And with the phones charging full in less than an hour it should be fine.

I personally think that Samsung kept the micro USB port due to either or both of the following possibilities:
1. Their Exynos chipset was not ready for USB 3.0 yet, even if Qualcomm was.
2. They had tons of unsold Gear VR devices and they couldn't afford to release a new Gear VR with USB-C port. Now that they gave them for free with the pre-orders, they are free to work on USB-C devices.

Samsung basically said that they didn't use USB-C cause Gear VR uses micro USB and they didn't want to disappoint the people who bought it a few months ago.

From what I've read, QC 3.0 doesn't offer much of an improvement over QC 2.0, but is just more efficient allowing more voltage steps than what QC 2.0 offers.

Wouldn't have wanted to buy new chargers or adapts for work car home battery pack ect. Hope there isn't any port soon so it's all wireless.

There's no room inside the VR unit to connect a cord.
I'm just as happy to keep micro USB for one more generation. The advantages aren't that significant, and I have plenty of good existing cables I won't need to replace.

If you look at the USB-C pinout, I really doubt these support fast charging. These only have 4 pins for the USB 2.0 interface, I believe the 5W @ 3A is only possible via the cable bus power and ground since that delivery is unique to USB Type-C.

cm? This is 'Murica. Land of the free and home to the Google. How many inches/feet?
Although it may not matter much given a phone is obsolete in a year or two, I suspect charging at 2/3 or less would greatly extend battery life.

. The world isn't ready for it. They need things to be base-10 for it to make sense.
I've ordered two of these, one of each size regardless of fast charge capabilities. I have so many regular USB-A chargers dotted all over the place that I might as well keep them useful. Plus the One Plus cables have a really good quality track record among their fans.
Also I tend to carry an extra cable with me with no charger for use in unexpected circumstances, and USB A ports are of course the most common available in a pinch. Simply practical to have extra C to A cables.
I might invest in an additional fast charger beyond what is supplied, once we have complete and precise clarification on how to maximize the 6P fast charging.
Awesome cables, I bought 5 because they're better than the offerings on Amazon while being easier to plug in, and perfectly compatible with my Macbook.
Mine came today

USB Type C cables reviewed by Google engineer

Google product engineer +BensonLeung has tested several cables, and the vast majority of them fail to meet the Type C specification, some even dangerously drawing too much power.
Interesting to note that the hugely popular Orzly cables fail his tests.
can't even trust the word "certified by **** company" on the products anymore. that's why you just can't ignore product reviewers.
Haha, I was just coming to post this myself. Its good we have people looking out for this sort of thing. Stuff like this always pops up in the early phases of new tech or standard roll outs. Remember all the faulty knock off lightning cables for apple stuff when that first launched?
Potentially bad news for those of us with the One+ cables though;
+Rajesh Handa , +Guille Laca, +Jared Valles, +Steven Lefkoff, unfortunately I have bad news about the One+ cables. The One+ cables, despite ostensibly being from a 1st party phone maker, are out of spec. They use an incorrect 3A configuration as well.
I haven't reviewed them on Amazon because they aren't for sale there directly from One+

It sucks he has not recommended any chargers or USB-C to USB-C cables. The only cables he has reviewed are USB A to USB-C and it is my understanding that these will not quick charge the device anyhow.
I have started a Google Sheet to track USB Type C cables and accessories. I have also enhanced to include N5X and N6P products. Check it out!

Not to change gears but I topped my 6p off yesterday before first boot up and let it and my htc m8 both drain completely, them plugged 6p to packaged charger and my m8 to a nexus 6 fast charger and a 6-ft micro usb I bought fro at&t and the m8 charged... Much... Faster. Are Google's fast charging claims unfounded or is the N6 charger from Motorola just that fast?

Remember that the M8 has a 2,600 mAh battery and the 6P has a 3,450 mAh battery. The 6P battery is almost 35% larger than the M8, and will require more time to charge. How much charge did the 6P have when the M8 finished charging?

Ditto. I bought 3 and I might keep them for slow charging, like overnight. The price wasn't bad.
That's is a very fair point and good question. If I'm not mistaken between 65-75%. Nothing crazy, but one thing I will say, I play a game that drains the battery very badly, even after I close and even force close the app (love it so much I am willing to live with it) but I drained it all the way back down this morning playing the game and instead of turning it back on and starting the charge from 1% and leaving it on so I can track its progress (after a restart, the game normally doesn't cause any battery drain until I open it again), I left it off to charge, and I came back less than 40 minutes later and the thing was full.. I couldn't believe it so I turned it on and unplugged it and sure enough, 98%. It could be that the game was causing such drain (which is scary because the it never eats battery after a reboot) that it slowed the charging process, but I guess I'll never know for sure.

should we still have to worry about even if we use a basic charger (5v - 2a) to charge our 6P with those generic cables? seems like the google engineer only tested and raised concerned with rapid charging. this might get too far once wireless charging stickers/cases are introduced.

Based on the text in his reviews, it sounds like the risk of damage is to your charger, not your phone. The phone can (obviously) handle a 3A charging speed but a USB A charger most likely cannot.

Hey everyone! As you all know im always doing reviews on loads of products and have reviewed these cables with the OnePlus 2! Obviously they work perfectly for that as they were built for the OnePlus 2 originally. I did contact them though and they did let me know that as soon as it was brought to there attention they corrected the issue and i actually received the new version of the cable today and i will review it and have the video up tomorrow! For everyone using a OnePlus 2 its nothing to worry about though. The only items that it could affect are things that power at 3A so just keep that in mind before you go throwing out your cables!

Cables or adapters for USB C

Little confused on what I need for my new phone coming Friday. Obviously, I have a host of Micro USB cables that I'd like to be able to use with my new phone. I assume there must be some adapter that is recommended.
I also need a cable to run from an Anker charger to my new phone.
Thanks!
Confused or not you really should spend some time reading through the other threads that are already here.
The situation has started to clear up quite a bit but all the info is already here.
I started to read through one of the threads but I just got more confused. Lots of talk about what wouldn't work and the one plus one cables being bad.
I'd be happy to research more on my own, if you could point me in the direction of a quality thread or post.
Thanks
Essentially, some companies are producing USB Type-A to USB Type-C cables that don't meet the standards set out by the USB Consortium (made up of Google, Apple, and many other tech companies). These cables that don't meet the specification could allow a device (such as your phone) to try to pull too much current from a charger, USB port, or USB hub and thus damage them. Worst case scenario, they cause a charger to overheat and start a fire!
SO, your best bet is to buy USB Type-A to USB Type-C cables directly from Google or any of the cables Benson Leung (a Google engineer) has reviewed highly. It doesn't matter if they're USB 2.0, 3.0, or 3.1 as the Nexus 6P only supports the slower USB 2.0 speeds and it's all compatible!
Are there any certified adapters or recommendations on something that converts a Micro USB end to a Type-C end? I'd prefer to just extend the cables I already have rather than replace them.
I sadly have not seen a verified adapter yet. You could take a chance on buying some that haven't been disqualified and test them with this app, and return them if they fail. Otherwise, some people are keeping track of verified accessories on this spreadsheet and someone might find good adapters.

I looked through his profile and all of the reviews he's done and none of the adapters have met specifications. You might be better off going with cables instead of adapters.
Thanks you were both very helpful!
All this info above is true. But just an FYI I've had my phone for about a month and only used the micro USB to c adapters (other than a couple times to test with the googled one ) since my case I got had the port too small for the Google charger to fit through and I've never had any issues. The charger or phone doesn't get any hotter or warmer. The phone does charge slower than the Google charger, but that's because the power adapters I'm using are about 1500mah bricks.
Just wanted to chime in that I was not able to get any of my microusb OTG cables working using an adapter. (2 different microusb F to usb-C M adapters purchased through Aliexpress) Perhaps I was just unlucky, though.
They seem to work for connecting to a computer. I also see videos from XDA's youtube channel where they use one of those adapters for connecting a 6p to a computer.
Strangely, one of the adapters shows that it's compliant through the aforementioned app!
The cables/adapters that are out of specification can work fine; but it all depends on how your devices, chargers, and hubs handle the incorrect cable. While you might get lucky and it'll work fine, you might also get unlucky!
Why take a chance? And why support companies that don't follow the rules?

Yes you have a valid point except that there are no certified adapters yet as far as I know. Which means for someone like me it's not about money, but it's about being able to use micro USB still since practically every other devices I have uses that still. Ie tablet, controllers, remotes.

USB Type-C VS MicroUSB

So it seems there are a lot of contradicting reports on the web right now. Some claim the s7 lineup will retain microusb charging while others say usb type-c will be used. Is anyone else going to be extremely bummed if usb type-c isn't used? I sure will be.
I was looking forward to faster charge rates, and a reversible cable. Might start eying the LG G5.

I can tell you with absolute certainty it's micro-USB, not type C.
If it's not a full (or at least USB 3.0) implementation of what USB-C is capable of, just same old USB 2.0 we've always had, I think microUSB is the better solution. We can keep using our existing cables. I would have loved a full-blown USB-C, but I can live without it.
Seeing as there are some reversible micro usb cables on the market, I guess in that aspect it won't be the end of the world. I was just hoping for some future proof, y'know? Using USB3.0 would of been great.

I wouldn't expect anything from Samsung to use USB-C until next year. They learned their lesson from the S5, and that is physically compatible with standard micro-USB.
I think there is no huge difference between both of them. USB Type-C connector doesn't mean that it will charge faster at the speed of light .

As a Nexus 5x user, type-C is without a doubt faster at charging and transferring files.. It's not lightning fast, but it is quicker.

Admittedly, some of the Micro-USB-based fast-charging protocols are pretty close. Charging is faster because many chargers allow for a 15W (over 5 or 10 watt) charger, not inherently because it's USB-C.
USB C is pretty nice so far (Just got a 5X )

Anyone using a wireless charging adapter?

I've gotten way too use to wireless charging to get rid of it on the 7 Pro. I previously used a wireless adapter with the Mi Mix that worked perfectly charging at around 1000ma. For some reason the same adapter is only charging at around 70ma-250ma on the 7 pro across multiple chargers. Has nothing to do with the case as the speed is the same with and without the case.
So, I'm looking to buy another adapter. Is anyone using one that works well they can recommend?
Nillkin Type C Wireless Charging... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M11UT3V?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
This is the one I use on a daily basis. Combined with a Choetech charging pad, my 7Pro typically gets north of 500 mAh, and hits 800-1000 regularly.
Note that cables (I use Monoprice) and adapter (Anker qc3) make a difference. Also length of usb-c cables can affect charging, especially through a case. Personally, a 1.5ft cable fits my setup atop my dresser.

That's the same one I use too. Works well.

ok good, have that Nillikin coming tomorrow. did you get the short or long version? seems from reading they would recommend the short.
I use android auto alot so need to connect phone to the car daily. Is there a recommendation for a wireless charging option that can also facilitate a magnetic usb type c charger?

Please let us know how well it works with the OnePlus Warp Charger (my guess is it won't Warp, but am curious how many mAh you get, if you wouldn't mind using Ampere or AccuBattery or something equivalent to report)
Thanks!

So I tested it out. Wired charging is as fast if not faster than the stock warp charger (was getting up to 5700 mA). Wireless charging is much slower (even with a fast charging wireless charging pad) and is definitely not fast wireless charging like with samsung, but i'm still averaging about like 600-800 mA, so probably like 17%/hr. I'm pretty satisfied with it. Only problem is if I ever need to use the usb-c port for real usb c items like headphone adapter, still have to remove the receiver.

About the height of the bottom bezel
Lol neuter your phone charging! So you charge at almost 3x slower then your cable charger for what reason?

Decreased mechanical wear and tear.
The only thing more likely than failure of the USB port is failure of the power button... What do they have in common? Both parts are subject to degradation from repeated physical interaction.
I have a friend who repairs phones -- besides shattered screen replacement, power buttons and USB ports are what he most commonly fixes.

Never had a bad port nor a power button go bad and I've had a lot of phones. USB C ports don't wear out, they get damaged. Learn to keep your things nice and take care of them and they will last. The power button, never an issue but in the last 3 years you don't even need to use it much anyway with double tap to sleep and wake. Just fishing for reasons

No worries! I've used custom kernels that support DT2W/S or quick settings tiles to proxy the button for years as well. You're absolutely right -- don't abuse your phone and you can use it for years... :angel:
