Fast Chargers

Any ideas on where to get a UK plug fast charger? I hear the Mate 8 plug works for fast charging.
I guess I won't even be able to find a car charger as well so my old fast chargers are useless now!

I own a Mate 8 and I tried with the quick charger on P9 Lite and it's just charging normal

It's not a feature the quick charge on the P9 Lite. Hardware it's not there...

Oh I thought it was the same as P9 with hisilicon fats charge.but guess not...

Charger included is "slow charge" 1A. Device is capable of 2A (not "fast charge")

Hi, I am planning to buy this phone and the only thing holding me back is the slow charging time with stock 1A charger
Your comment provides some hope that phone can handle 2A [emoji846]
Is this your experience/observation or you found reference of this capability online?

I found this
Although the Huawei P9 lite can receive two amps and 10 watts of power from a charger, Huawei includes only a one amp and five watt power supply with the P9 lite, which results in rather slow loading times.

This is promising
However, couple of users have replied in other threads that phone doesn't charge any faster with 2A charger
If only someone who had this device could actually test and confirm...

If i understand for proper charging you need 2A charger and 2A capable USB. I ordered from ebay OEM Huawei 2A 5V charger and 2A 5V capable USB (Nikilin) just to test will it work.

Though I think any 2A charger and cable could probably work
Better be safe and use Huawei charger and best cable as you mentioned above
Do share your findings please...

Hi I've ordered a 2.4A charger (ravpower) but with ampere app I see it charges slower than the original one, the same using a 2.4 powerbank
Is this phone compatible with 2.0A charging or you need the original huawei 2.0 charger?
@Bumblecito can you please check how much charges with the mate 8 charger? Thanks

I spend a lot of time reviewing the dmesg output from the kernel and I have often seen mention an "FCC Limit" during charging. It is possible that the kernel is imposing a "limit" to be FCC compliant... Just a thought...

This is what I keep seeing in the log: https://github.com/Meticulus/androi...rivers/power/hisi/coul/hisi_coul_core.c#L2634

What I am seeing and measuring is that mine, the 3GB dual sim model, max current draw is 1.08 Amp.
This is the max the device will charge at no matter what if you connect a quick charge ... even a nuclear powerplant that can provide a billion Amps at 5V as long as the kernel or charging circuit is like now. A bit painful but I find the battery life to be good. Good enough so it won't be a deal breaker.
I've had phones that died while using the GPS in the car and on a charger, this one doesn't if you use a quality charger and cable.

Compatible car charger?

Can anyone recommend a car charger that's compatible with the honor 8? I also power a dash cam that doesn't need quick charge. I'd like one that has dual USB ports, one for the dash cam and the other quick charge for the honor 8. Thanks!

Would this work? It sounds like it will do non Qualcomm stuff at 9V/2A. I only needed a single port when I was looking for one so it was easier.

I guess it could work, but that 20-38 days delivery time is putting me off. Nothing on Amazon.com?

I ordered this one. Only had it one day so far. But seems to work well.

That is true as Huawei's quick charge technology if vastly different from Qualcomm's or Samsung's.

Car super charger

What type of car charger do you use, wireless or cable? Where did you buy it from? Does it have super charge also?

Indeed Huawei announced a car charger, and I've also wondered why I haven't been able to find it for sale anywhere.

We're all looking for a car charger that support Huawei's Supercharge, not Qualcomm's Quickcharge.

are they the same?

No. Huawei's Supercharge is proprietary. You need their chargers, and their cables, to get full charge rate. They have a car charger listed on their site, but so far, it doesn't appear to be available anywhere.

Why? This phone has fantastic battery life and insane charging speeds. Charge with SuperCharge at home, and top up if you need to with a slower charger during the day... but you shouldn't need to do this. A standard USB type C charger will work well. USB PD works even better.

It pulls 20 watts from the wall when hooked up to my Pixel XL charger, which is USB PD. I'd have to say it certainly does.

USB PD requires negotiation with the device to determine maximum power output. The charging brick must negotiate, as well as the e-marked cables I am using, to come anywhere close to the power the Mate 9 is pulling.
The Huawei charger pumps over 25 watts of power into the battery. This USB PD charger is doing 20 watts, max, and even less really because of voltage conversion that the Mate 9 charger doesn't have to do.
Unless Huawei totally screwed up designing the phone, it is safe. USB PD is not like QuickCharge... it is part of type C's specification. I have used Google's USB PD charger on a Note7 and LG V20 with zero issues, and those devices charged extremely fast using it as well.

Because the Belkin 2A charger + cable I have now is unable to charge it while I'm also using it with Spotify and Google Maps with the screen on. When I turn the screen off it charges really slow (Google Maps still running). I use this phone for navigation also when I'm working and sometimes I need it just for navigation 4 hours (and back) and then I also use it as a hotspot on location with clients. So ideally I would like my phone to be 100% when I arrive an not 70, by the time I get home it's at 30 and then I have the whole evening with only 30 % left.
As far as I know USB PD isn't supported with the Mate 9 BUT using a charger and cable that do support should not be dangerous as the charge is negotiated. I do find it strange that yours draws 20 watts.... would like someone to verify because if it is I'm buying a USB PD charger as that is the future!

Does anyone know if the Mate 9 supports Qi wireless charging?

[CONFIRMED] .152 Firmware Update ENABLE QC 3.0 Fast Charging.

EDIT : Confirmed. This phone support QC 3.0 now.
Come a bit as surprise,
Updated my P20 Pro C636 to .152 Firmware,
And noticed right away that now IT DETECT my QC 3.0 battery pack charger as Fast Charge (Two Thunder Icon Appear) and it charge with High Current,
Someone who already on .152 and have QC 3.0 charger in their belonging might want to test it as well.
But anyway, this is good addition for me. Since now i can have one battery pack to fast charging all my phones.
Bellow i attached the picture

By "wall quick charger" is it QC 3.0 ? Or 2.0 or standard fast charger ?
Because this phone wasn't meant to support QC standard to begin with, and supposed only work with Huawei Proprietary Supercharge technology, thats why i quite surprise when it now show it as fast charging when am using my QC 3.0 charger.
How many Thunder icon you see next to the battery when you charge ?
And, are you on .152 as well ?

Not to burst the bubble but fast charge through Huawei's own charge gives up to 4.5A, yours only gets 2.5A and that's not fast charge but possible quick charge that Qualcomm uses.

Yes, that i know. LoL
but prior to this, even using QC 3.0 charger will only give me less than 2A, since it only act as normal fast charging,
so, this might be not doing any miracle,
but at least now i know my QC charger will fast my phone faster than it previously does.

That calculation on the screen is innacurate for most of the time. Because it fluctuate often.
And since his battery is on 70 its normal that the charger doesnt supply full current/volt,
That just how it designed.
And you are right,
For most of the case, our phone will be fully charged in around 2 Hrs using supplied charger

Stock Huawei charger includes both supercharged capable adapter, and cable (look for purple ends)
Outputs 2A, 5A, 4.5A

Uhmm that's interesting.
I resumed my old powerbank I used for my old nexus 6p, it's a Tronsmart and it claims to be QC 3.0
Fast charge was working with 6p, I plugged in the p20 pro and I don't get your results.
I'm on c636 152, charge is still normal.
I don't know if the powerbank lies, or the cables, but I tried different ones.
What cable did you use?

QC 3.0 cable or USB PD C to C cable. Both works

Once I done this I can confirm this for you guys as I have a current and voltage meter which I can use to confirm that it is indeed charging at QC3.0 speeds.

Can we get Quick Charge?

Yeah, I am supposed to believe that Dash Charge is the best, but so much of what I do is mobile. That means I need a car charger. Those can be found with Qualcomm's Quick Charge, but not with the proprietary Dash Charge. Is it possible to add Quick Charge to the OnePlus 6's repertoire? Or maybe Power Delivery? I have chargers (and battery packs) that can do both of those.
