Pixel doesn't charge at 18W - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

Source: https://plus.google.com/102612254593917101378/posts/7WS9sXe3k6y?sfc=true.
UPDATE: Google has confirmed the info and changed their website to reflect 15-18W charging.

If you feel this was a major omission by Google, well, I'd say you at least have a reason to return your phone in principle.

Exactly I'm pretty sure Google will receive your phone and refund your money. Then you can find another device with 3W+ more charging than the Pixel.
I don't think they won't accept returns for this because, despite of the severity, the info was wrong.

So What

I was a little surprised to plug my phone into a qc2 charger and see it charging at only 5V and 2A (~10 watts). It still charged quickly enough for me so I'm not complaining but it was interesting.

I think its more of an issue of being aware, especially when looking up recommendations by beson and nathan. Searching for working pd chargers and compatible cables.
5v1A chargers doing 500-900mA 5v2A or 5v2.4A doing 10-12w or 5v3A-9v2A doing 15-18w.
People might say "so what".. Well when your phone didn't last the 7 hours from that 15min charge google claims, you'll know why.. When it takes your phone 2-3hrs to fully charge, instead of 1hr, at least you're informed.
When there are so many products out there that claim fast rapid quick, but aren't compatible, you don't end up wasting $30-40..
Really why pay $1,000 for that premium flagship phone that doesn't bring it, the flag? Claims to Rapid charge, claims to have the best camera, claims to have awesome stabilization. Might as well be a politician..

@jona_12, @thesebastian - Don't get me wrong, I don't want to return the phone. It's still a great phone. I would like the option to increase the charging speed as obviously the hardware can support it and used it until late development.
@jmartin72 - "I'm still a rock star" -Pink
@cntryby429 - I'd have expected 15W (5V/3A). I wonder if it's a limitation of the spec/charger? I've not researched Qualcomm Quick Charge.
Would a kernel dev be able to change this limitation? Maybe there is a change that can be flashed to the phone?

EDIT: XDA Portal news on this subject Google Pixel Charging Speed Limited to 15W, While Pixel XL Can Charge up to 18W

Touchstone teardown / schematics, anyone?

Being the DIY kind of guy, I'm wondering if anyone tried to disassemble the Touchstone charger and post a schematic so that anyone with some electronics skills can make their own, in whatever shape or colour they desire.
Just wondering.
Ifixit has a pre touchstone tear down. They are similar, maybe you can request that site complete one on the TouchPad version.
I just looked mine over, there are no exposed screws. Any screws must be under the rubber foot, or the back may snap off. I'm not risking breaking mine. But, for $40 you could find out yourself

All you need is a USB source with an output of 5.3V and 2A. But on that note, doesn't the higher level of amps charging the TP batteries more quickly kill the overall battery life of the batteries?
I use other brands of usb chargers unless i'm in a hurry, because the TP official charger will get it all juiced up in no time. Lower amperage, slower charging, longer overall battery life (i presume.)

Not sure about the truth of that, because I think it has something to do with the actual cycles. I'm not 100% sure so if I'm wrong someone correct me.
The OP was referring to the wireless induction charging in the Touchstone, not just a generic USB charger.
As to the whole more amps = lower health battery debate, I won't touch that. I've seen "proof" both ways. What I know is the OEM charger is 5.3v at 2 amps. I am going to trust HP that is the proper specs. Plus, any "smart" device doesn't pull more amperage than it needs, so its software controlled.

Indeed, I am not talking about the wired charger, I am talking about the wireless Touchstone charger.
50 USD wouldn't be a problem for a Touchstone. However HP hasn't brought Touchpad's or accessories in Romania and offer no support for them, and I don't want to wait for 2 weeks for delivery.
And I also am the DIY kind of guy, and in the near future I'll be designing and building a custom desk which I would like to include a nice built-in stand for the Touchpad.

Any old 5.3v/2A source will not give 2A to the TP. The device relies on switch signaling on the data lines which aknowledges that it is connected to the correct (ie HP barrel) charger and this allows the full charge rate to be applied.
In all other cases the charger only gives a low level trickle charge with the resulting longer charge times.
LiPo batteries and their charging profiles are very efficient and are perfectly capable of handling higher charging currents without detriment.
If they become very drained these higher currents are required to start the charge cycle whereas lower power chargers would not.
This thread is not about charge current or cycles, not sure why you haven't gotten a real answer yet, so I decided to register to give you one.
Even if you had the schematics and a source for the components, winding the coil for the inductive charging would be your biggest issue. At best it probably wouldn't be efficient enough to be worth it and it would likely take a long time to charge if it did at all. All the parts and work it would take for a kind of crappy result wouldn't be as good as just spending the $50 or whatever.
That's the negative side though, so don't get me wrong. If I could I'd totally be building one myself as well. I wish more people were into DIY stuff like this. I also really like the idea of building it into a desk and you may be able to do that with an official Touchstone charger.

While the OP was not about charge current or cycles I do sincerely hope that you understand the value of correcting misinformation and wrong assertions about any aspect that may raise it's related head in these threads.
To jump into a thread and the forum with such a comment is perhaps an indication of the levels of accepable politeness at large in the world today.
But I for one don't take too kindly to it.
But then us 'older' members may be a little too sensitive.
Any impropriety and the mods will deal with it!

Charging Pixel with old phone chargers

As I'm sure is the case for many of you, I have a ton of typical USB chargers around the house, which supply anywhere from 0.8A to 1.5A output. Going with the assumption that I don't care how long it takes to charge, is there any risk with using the USB C-A cable that came with my pixel and plugging into any of those old USB chargers? They should all work, right? Just as different speeds depending on the output current?
I am not an expert, but from my research into the safety of USB-A to USB-C cables, the "risk" will generally come as a result of purchasing a cheap cable that does not have the appropriate (56k) resistor. The cable that came directly from google has the appropriate resistor and is not low quality, so it will be safe to plug into any functioning USB port (either on your computer or a charger).
That being said, if you have a malfunctioning charger, or there is power surge etc., that is an "act of god" and what happens happens
You may actually be better off using these old chargers if they work correctly. The slower you charge your phone, the better it is for the longevity (years) of your battery.
Yeah, that is why I didn't care about charging speed. For plugging it in next to my bed each night, I figure slower is better. However, I just received a mini USB to USB C from Amazon, and used that to plug my pixel in last night to a 1a charger. And while the phone did say charging over USB, it didn't gain any battery overnight and instead continued to discharge until I woke up in the morning. Is anyone else seeing anything like that?
Not trying to be mean or name call but I personally think you all are crazy. Buying a $700 phone and using a cheap charger that could have the risk to break your phone. Especially if you know better. Honestly, spending the $30-$40 from a charger from Google or an approved charger is just smart for the long term and not risk losing $700. Just my 2 cents. I did the same for the car charger.
Sure, I hear your point. But honestly I know that it is better for the battery to charge slower, so I would rather use a low power charger next to my bed each night, and only use the included quick charger when I need a quick top-off.

Have to consider 2 points since there are so many inaccuracies about this subject:
1) Inadequate chargers with insufficient output cause batteries to become overheated, consequently reduce battery charging cycles. Smart batteries are not adversely affected by certified quick chargers.
2) Turbo chargers do not "top off". When a battery gets to around 80%, the appropriate charger begins its slower charging as to not overload it. Once at 100%, charging stops, and the maintenance process begins. As battery level drops to around 97.6%, trickle charging begins.
In sum, a certified, OEM-equivalent quick charger, even with higher output would not damage batteries.
The phone supports most standards however usb c and Qualcomm quick charge are not compatible and you fall back to 5v 3 amp at best. Make sure to fully insert the cable into the phone. It has to click. I've accidently not charged overnight that way.
I've got a bunch of turbo chargers that I've accumulated over the years. Using a non-[manufacturer of current phone] charger has never damaged my phone. I just bought a 10 pack of USB C adapters and popped one on every charger so I can continue using my old ones. No issues yet and I don't anticipate any.

Sure, you can use non-oem chargers. That's not the problem. Issues only potentially arise when the chargers do not provide adequate output, or their "smart" capabilities are not up to specs. I use all kinds of chargers bought at Verizon, Best Buy, etc. I also use Amazon chargers as long as they're not too far off OEM requirements. Also, people don't think about the importance of a good, thick cable.

Many will say no big deal. However, I'd say let's hear it from the horse's mouth. Here's Google engineer Benson Leung https://plus.google.com/+BensonLeung/posts/cEvVQLXhyRX. You be the judge.
Bottom line, to answer your question, no, quick charging methodology used by Samsung and Motorola is not supported by the Pixel. Your phone will charge at a slower rate. Will it damage the phone in the long run? Likely not. Well, I'll let you guys test for me.

Charging tech/cables? How much power can the pixel actually draw?

There's been tons of posts over the web about what kind of charger to buy for the pixel, but none of them really dive into the technical. I don't have the proper measuring tools to check current/voltage and would like to get some info. I'm wondering what kind of power the Pixel is able to handle in order to buy a charger. I really like anker but wondering if i need to branch out in order to get something that can deliver the proper power.
According to the Google Pixel spec sheet the charger is a 18W USB-C PD but google doesn't explicitly say anymore. There have been articles that say that the Pixel isn't QC3 compatible. There's also some info that the Pixel is using a propietary charging tech allowed within the PD standard. The PD standards allow up to 100W @ 20V which allows for 5A.
What kind of power can the pixel actually draw when fully open?
Also, side question as I can't seem to figure out the proper queries to get any answers. In regards to google's proprietary charging tech, is there a different between using the USB-A>USB-C cable vs the USB-C>USB-C cable using a power supply which can delivery more than enough power?

Isn't this one of those "everyone does it cause they heard it somewhere"? Isn't the rationale for slow charging due to termination current and thermal management to prevent degredation? If you can maintain ideal temperature ranges for the chemistry and proper transfer/movement of electrons, shouldn't charging at higher voltages and current (provided the cell can handle it) not be an issue? Which brings me to my original question. R&D and QC should've set tolerances which will dictate how much power the phone will pull. How much can the phone pull?

I cant properly answer your doubt i just recommend in base of my experience since I charge devices a lot because i try some time then I sell. Quickcharges decreases a lot the battery health, any kind of Quick charge. Teste with Samsung devices, ZTE axon 7, the Google pixel, Motorola devices, HTC 10, LG G5, and a lot of other devices. Now im waiting for my Oneplus 3T next week I will try the dash charge and a normal slow charge

ARE YOU KIDDING!?!? Even apple hasn't done something this absurd... What's next, only quick charge via cable through Google's official charger. This is really disappointing to find out, and very shady considering when you use a wireless charger capable of quick charge the phone will still read out "charging rapidly"

I agree, this is unacceptable. When I ordered this phone I was sure I'd keep it but I'm not so sure now. Too many issues for a flagship phone. I may return this and wait for either the issues to be resolved or something better to come along. Back to my Moto X Pure old reliable backup.
Hopefully google will see sense and enable 10w wireless charging for 3rd party chargers as there is no way I am paying £69 for their official one.

I’m done with the Pixel 3. It’s all packed up and waiting on FedEx to come pick it up. Good luck to everyone.
This is being portrayed incorrectly. Someone in the reddit thread on this did some research on this, and it turns out Samsung is using a nonstandard protocol which the third party market adopted. This does not seem to be a case of Google locking out third party chargers with software. So, we just need to wait for third parties to adopt Google's standard (belkin already has), which nonetheless is disappointing.
Before everyone gets all up in arms, Google is NOT limiting 3rd-party chargers that would otherwise support fast-charging the Pixel 3. There is a Belkin wireless charger that supports 10w on Pixel, so clearly 3rd-party fast charging of Pixel 3 is "allowed."
The actual reason that 3rd-party Qi fast chargers are limited to 5w is because the Pixel 3 does not use the Qi fast charging standard; they use the earlier 5W Qi spec and a proprietary fast charge method. So, when using a Qi charger, you are limited by the hardware to 5w.
Samsung also uses a proprietary fast charging standard, it's just that because of Samsung's market share, most 3rd-party fast wireless chargers support it.
So, it's not that Google is artificially limiting 3rd-party chargers, it's just that most 3rd-party charging hardware doesn't support the Pixel 3's proprietary fast charging yet.
This isn't quite correct, Everyone but Oppo and it's related products are using the Qualcomm standard which they license without charge. Samsung had modified this somewhat but it still works generically across devices and chargers. For an example my Note 8 would quick charge with any charger in the house, wired and wireless. I could also throw another non Samsung phone on my Samsung charger and that phone would charge wirelessly. Goog is also using the Qualcomm standard which it has modified but not in a consider forward way. I'm pretty POed about this, I've got all the chargers I need and it's almost criminally wasteful to have to buy more.
I was already seriously on the fence with this device, I'm going to see what Oneplus brings and make up my mind after.

Sanity reigns supreme. Thank you for a truly measured response. Sending a device back because it will only charge at 5W vs. 10 with a generic charger? Really? How about giving it a month or so for the companies to catch up to the new standard? I can understand why they might do this initially. I think a little outrage on XDA and Android Police would be peanuts compared to 50 devices exploding on a night stand because of overheating and poor charging specifications. Personally I don't think I'd ever use wireless charging and certainly not for $79 bucks, but that could change if I find a use for it. I have so many USB C chargers and cables it would be a waste of money for me.
As for Apple not even doing something like this.. come on. Think chargers, plugs, no headphone jacks (we copied that one). I'm sure you could come up with a few more.

I personally didn’t send the device back for this reason alone. I was also disappointed with the speakers and the black crush/clipping in darker videos. The slow wireless charging was the 3rd strike.
Edit...For anyone interested, Android Police has updated their article on this subject. You should have a look
google has already replied to this topic and said that 3rd party chargers are going to adopt the pixel way of charging with the handshake that the pixel stand does. they are not limiting, they are just waiting for the other chargers to catch up.

This is not a solution. There is already a standard for Qi charging and many people have already purchased numerous chargers that SHOULD be able to fast charge their device. If Google is waiting for other manufacturers to "catch up" then it is basically waiting for them to solve a problem that Google created. That doesn't change the fact that the practice is rather consumer hostile and hard to justify without going so deep into fanboy territory that even the Apple fans would tell you it's too far.
I sincerely hope that they reverse course on this decision or at least explain the technical reason as to why such a "handshake" is required for fast charging, but only on Pixel devices. I can understand the handshake requirement to activate the additional functionality that the Pixel Stand offers, but preventing adequate charge speeds just because they can is a different story.

5v2.4a Charging

Has anybody had issues with charging with standard 5V2.4A USB chargers? The ones with a standard USB A port, not USB PD or Qualcomm quick charge - the ones I've been using are made by Anker and Aukey.
It takes over 8 hours to charge from 0 to 100% unless I use the warp charger. I returned it to the store and got another one with the same issue. Just want to know if this is normal for the 8T or if it's a defect with a recent batch?
I have loads of power banks, car chargers and wall chargers I've used over the years with loads of different devices and they all work perfectly, but the 8T won't pull more than about 3.5W. For reference, my Oneplus 3 will charge at ~6.5W and all other phones at least 5W.
There have been a few posts on the OP forum about this, but only in the past few days - which makes me think this may be a recent issue. If this is normal for anyone on here, it would be great if you could confirm this as Oneplus have told me very conflicting things.
Thanks in advance.

It's been noticed by many and it's pathetic that OnePlus hasn't fixed it. Advertising some of the fastest charging speeds and then delivering some of the slowest charging speeds is ridiculous.

Is there a fix for it? Or is this just the way the phones are designed?
It's all gonna depend on whether its hardware or software limitation. Id suggest checking in the lineage os thread for this device see if they also have the issue.
