Quick chargers, please help - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

I just ordered the black Honor 8 and should receive it Thursday :victory:
Now I have two Quick Charge 2.0 chargers and 1 brand new Quick Charge 3.0 charger+car charger I just bought for my now officially crippled LG G5 (POS phone, dont consider it)
I read the other forum posts, as I understand the quick chargers wont supply full quick charge to the Honor 8, but will they work? Is it safe to use them? and will they provide more than a standard 1A charge to the phone?

They will work just fine but won't deliver Kirin Fast charge.

They are technically safe to use. But since Honor 8 don't natively support fast charge, it won't make that much difference.

quick charger 2.0

I just bought iVoler quick charger to try it because the price was low and the reviews said it was quality made. I Just received this the other day, and I plugged in my Z4 Tablet and it said Z4 Tablet detected, so it indeed does support the Qualcomm Quick Charging feature! Charging was fast and held strong with my Z4 Tablet. Charging the battery from 0 to 25% in about 19 minutes. And the 6 foot USB cable is of good quality and really nice. It also fits into my Z4 Tablet with a nice click, and fits well around my case. I will definitely buy more of these!
The great product need to be shared.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WSLRCWI
is safe to use ? I'm just wonder why Sony has not advertised this feature
Well, the Z4 is listed as supporting quick charge on Qualcomm's website: https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/tablets/sony-xperia-z4-tablet.
I have tried 2 quick charge chargers from amazon so far with the z4 tablet.
No problems and it works with most recent xperias and other snapdragons.

What kind of charging times are you seeing with the quick charge 2.0 with a battery that big? i.e. 80% in x mins from empty etc. I have been searching for an answer to this but it doesn't really seem to be posted in times but percents.
Thanks

I use sony uch10 quick charger and it does 0-100% in about 2 and a half hour.
I've just bought a QualComm Quick Charge 2.0 compatible charger and I get the same charge rate of 2.5 hours to 100%. Used to take me up to 6 hours previously.
I am using the Anker Quick Charge 2.0 and it charges the tablet in about 2 1/2 hours. It is on sale right now for $7.99 with promo code QPPAQPP5. The regular price is $15.99. (LINK HERE)
Awesome info, just bought two chargers using that code. Much Thanks!

You are welcome. It is a great charger. I use it with my LG G4 as well.
So, the Sony charger that comes with the Z4T isn't a Qualcomm Quick Chare 2.0 charger, right? A quick check says 1,5A / 5V and that's also what I measured with a USB gadget. I got the same results with my QC 2.0 charger from Samsung...
I'll try it again with another QC 2.0 charger.
/edit: yeah, the shipped charger isn't QC 2.0. Not sure why my Samsung charger didn't work out though, but I'll test my Pisen QC 2.0 charger tomorrow
HI guys I just test it with my Galaxy S7 / Note 5 quick charger with the tablet USB cable and I'm getting full charge in 1hour 15 min.

So why did Sony put in a slow charger?

Where to buy fast charger?

Where can I purchase a fast charger for the honor 8? Also will the Samsung fast charger work with the honor 8?
Fast charger comes out of the box with Honor 8 why do you need it?, u can not use Samsung fast charger on Huawei phone.
apparently at the time being there is none, although i bet you could get it from China, but best not get things that we are not sure about its originality! I am waiting for someone to sell their fast carger too..
Best option is to buy a genuine one from eBay. It is the only place so far you can get a true huawei quick charge.
Huawei mate 8 have the same charger, here's mine from AliExpress http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69099182&postcount=14 link in that thread. Works with no issues at all.
Is there a car cigarette lighter plug in one from a previous phone that also works with fast charging? 5V 2A wall chargers work fine and my friend's LG G4 charger did as well. Neither was using Fast Charge, but AIDA64 said they were charging at ~2A which got me a decent amount of juice in 30 minutes anyway.
edit: This was supposed to be in reply to the post directly below.

Quick Charging Compatibility

Hi There,
Thinking of picking up the Honor 8 while I travel to the States. Just wanted to ask someone to clear up my confusion. So basically my question is:
Is the Honor 8 compatible with any Quick Charger ?
I know that most people have been saying that only the provided wall charger will quick charge the Honor 8 but , please excuse my ignorance/lack of knowledge here, if the provided charger is 9V/2A/18W , wouldn't a generic charger with those specs quick charge it as well ?
Also does the USB Type-C cable come into play with regards to the charging speed.
Thanks for any help. Just want to know because I'd like to have piece of mind that if I lose/break the provided wall charger I could buy another without paying the price of an Honor-Branded one.
Thanks

In Theory, regardings power supplies you're right.
The problem is more advanced: The charger provides 5V, (maybe even limited to 500mA) until the device handshakes successfully with the charger, and tells "hi there, I'm speaking hisilicon fast charging protocol. Oh, you do too? Great. How is the weather over there? Okay, enough smalltalk, please provide me with 9V, up to 3A, i can handle that without going into a puff of smoke".
The charger then reassures every 100ms or so, that the device connected is still the same... and keeps providing 9V
With a QC based charger, it might go "hi there I'm speaking hisilicon fast charging protocol. Oh sorry, i don't understand QC2.0. I can provide you with this legacy charging protocol". And the charger should recognize that it can provide 5V,2A - which will help, but won't be quite as fast as quick charging...
Lets see when Anker or some other company bring out a dual-lingual charger...
You should go with huawei's charger.

Thats great
Thank you for your question regarding the Honor 8 and it's capabilities with quick charging. Your phone comes with a 9 V 2 A high voltage quick charger. It also supports 5 V 2 A chargers. Make sure you buy an official Huawei 9 V 2 A charger; unofficial quick chargers will not work properly. If you need a quick charger, you can buy one from Huawei Vmall or official Huawei experience shops. NOTE: The FRD-L02 shipped to the Indian market comes with a 5 V 2 A charger. (NS)

Nope, you have to use the charger that comes along with the Honor 8 in order to quick charge your Honor 8.

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.

Question Charger ?

First Ever pixel phone and nowadays don't come with charger what charger you guys recommend. original google or something from amazon .
Also i only have a 15watt at home
Need a PPS charger for full speed. At least 30W.
The Google one is fine if you want official.
I did order the Google charger
Anyways, I never had wireless charging. Which wireless charger is good and reasonably priced - the Google one is not.

I rarely fast charge anything, I normally baby my batteries and just use very low wattage chargers, but I do own an Anker 3-port (2x USB-C 100W charge, and one USB-A, whatever that's capable of). I mostly use it with my tablet when I need to, but I've used it with my phone once or twice.
Using an Anker Nano II 30W charger here (PD/PPS), although most of the time I charge my phone through my laptop (C>C) to keep heat down.
Question would a s21 ultra charger fast charge on pixel 7?
Would my OP9 charger and cable be fine?
Since it limits the Wattage anyways
I think that with these 3 news that dedicate an article on the best chargers for our P7 pro, I think you should find your choice
xda-developpers => These are the best chargers, cables, and other accessories to buy for the Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro in 2022
Android Authority => The best Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro chargers
AndroidPolice => The best Google Pixel 7 wireless chargers in 2022
I have a OnePlus charger 65w and a couple of Huawai Mate 20 pro chargers 40w (I believe). Will these charge the pixel on full speed? I'm awaiting Pixel 7 pro

Yes. The Warp 65W charger supports USB PD 3.0 PPS up to 45W (phone will charge at no more than 23W)

It is ridiculous that these companies can get away with selling a high price device without a charging block. Here is your brand new car, you will need to bring a gas can if you want to drive it off the lot. We do not supply gasoline as the time of purchase.
I recommend these 3 chargers:
Google charger, 30 W, USB-C only, 29 € (I own this one, works well, uses PPS, but makes some tiny noise sometimes)
Samsung charger, USB-C + USB-A, 35 W, 23 €, uses PPS as well
Wicked Chili charger, USB C + USB-A, 33 W, 25 €, GaN (I own this one, too, it also uses PPS, it's very small, but I'm not sure if it's available everywhere. In Germany, it is.)
I've got this Anker charger https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B016LPMFUA
But I've been charging the Pixel 7 Pro with an old LG Nexus 5x charger Which seems to charge a little faster than the Anker.
I was a little hesitant plugging the chargers in at first but after asking around ye old internet it seems both chargers will do the job fine for now. I'm at a loss which replacement charger to buy next though as there are so many to choose from.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Charger-Charging-Adaptor-Compatible-USB-C/dp/B0B4VY7WDH
This is the one I have, bought for my S21 Ultra last year. Supports 25W so I would hope it charges the S7 Pro fast enough. Ridiculously fast charging doesn't appeal to me, as it has a big negative impact on the battery. I charge my phones overnight at normal speed.
I have an Anker Nano II Pro (20W) in my travel bag but for overnight charging at home i use an Anker power strip with build in USB A ports that charges slowly in conjunction with adaptive charging.
