Charging indication - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

On my Nexus 6p when plugged in it would say in the screen "charging rapidly" or simply "charging" if not using a fast charger.
My mate 9 didn't come with a UK 3 pin plug so I've bought a Huawei one but this phone only seems to state "charging"
Is that normal for this phone or when using a fast charger should it give me an indication it's charging rapidly?

If you use the Mate 9 charger, and the Mate 9 USB cable, it should say "Supercharging" on the Lockscreen

[Q] 2A Chargers with the Nexus 5? (My Nexus 5 charger failed already)

2A Chargers with the Nexus 5?
My Nexus 5 1.2A wall adapter died overnight. Will not charge anything I plug into it, though the Nexus 5 microUSB cable works with other USB adapters I own.
Google wants me to ship back everything, including my defect-free Nexus 5, to replace the wall adapter. Not going to do that....
My question is: would it be ok to charge my Nexus 5 with a 2A charger? I have some 1A and 2A chargers around the house, but do not have any 1.2A chargers like the Nexus 5 one. If not I'm looking to buy something like this: http://www.amazon.com/PowerGen-2-4-...=1383756651&sr=1-4&keywords=1.2a+wall+adapter

Yes. That is fine. The phone will only pull what it needs. I use chargers from 0.5A all the way to 2.1A on all my devices.
Thanks for replying. Using chargers I already have will save me some money then.

Escalate the ticket with them and ask for a supervisor. There's no reason they need that phone.
I think I will. I didn't have the time or energy to argue with customer service this morning.
How did you kill your charger?

I plugged the charger into a surge-strip and plugged my phone in before I went to bed (battery charging indicator appeared). Woke up and the battery was low and no charging indicator present. I tried another charger and the phone charging indicator appeared. Nothing else plugged into the surge protector was running either, and we didn't have any storms or weird weather last night in AZ.
I tried plugging something else into the Nexus 5 charger... nothing. Tried the Nexus 5 microUSB cable on a different wall adapter and it charged.
So yeah, the wall adapter for my N5 failed. Luckily in the hour before work my 2A charger got the N5 up to 70%. Topped it off to 100% on my wireless charger at work.

What brand was your 2A charger?
Beware: The nexus 5 will charge in USB mode for the 2 amps chargers (and a lot of other ones too). To solve this and charge in AC mode, you will need to buy a "charge-only" USB cable from amazon.
i charge my n5 with my 2012 n7 2 amp charger and all is good it also charges at the expected rate not a slow rate, ive used it every day since i have had the n5 which was the release day

This is interesting. Three questions.
What exactly does it imply in what mode the phone is charging?
How do I know in what mode the phone is charging?
Can I check cables for its purposes without destroying it?

1. AC Mode charges at a much faster rate than USB mode.
2. To check which mode the phone is charging in go to your battery settings and it will display on the top left
3. There is nothing to check with the cables, if you don't know if you have a charge only cable then you don't have one

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.

Just because it does doesnt mean its safe and compatible for the phone.

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?

Aukey car charger with USB c & power delivery, I got it on amazon
At least there's now an article about the Supercharge car charger, so it's probably just a matter of time.

Honor 8 fast charging with different cable

*** mod edit: thread closed at OP's request ***
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my quick charger and I hope that you can help me.
I have no problem with my original quick charger and original cable of Honor 8. Every time I connect the cable to the phone it shows "fast charging".
I bought an aukey cable from amazon that supports fast charging ( I knew for sure that it worked for nexus 5x ) but with my quick charger it doesn't work. The phone shows only "charging". I thought that was normal because of it isn't an original cable but then I tried with the quick charger of honor 9. It work with the aukey cable and honor 8. But I have to specify that the fast charging doesn't work with honor 9 and my honor 8 charger + aukey cable. So I think that is not my phone problem.
The two quick charger are identical, they report the same model number. So, I have a defective quick charger (but it provides quick charge with original cable) or it doesn't recognize a not original cable? But why does the same cable work with honor 9 quick charger that looks identical?
Can you help me?:crying:
Thanks

Slow battery recharge

Hi guys, can I use an HTC One m7 charger to recharge the OP7 Pro? ( HTC charger 5V -1A and OPT/7 pro cable).
This to preserve the battery over time.

You can use any USB charger you want for that purpose, the OP7 will fall back to the highest compatible charging rate the powerbrick is capable of (Qualcomm Quick Charge is not supported by the OP7, and in case of a USB PD powerbrick that would be 5V/3A), in your case 5V/1A.

I tried to use the charger from an Ampere, but it seems to continue to come off and come back on all the time. I would not wear the battery with the warp charge since I would like to keep it at least 2 years, do you recommend?

Strange, maybe there is a lightly higher minimum charging speed unless it detects it's connected to a USB port... Do you maybe have a 1.4A or 2A charger flying around to test that? Or try with a different USB cable and the 1A powerbrick?
I just did my first Warp Charge and the phone didn't get nearly as warm as my old Nexus 6P did get despite charging with double the current. What did get warm instead was the charger. Hope that helps maintaining battery life...
No you need to use the new charger and cord

No you'll need the red cord and new device for power outlet. Is not designed to use their warp charging unless you use it. You can also use a 2.4 amp one that's used for any phablet/tablet but it won't charge in 30 minutes.

Why wont this fast charge?

I have an 8T and i cant seem to get this to fast charge it only says "Charging" Not "Charging rapidly" even though I am using an anker iq charger and an anker charging cable.
This is the cable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DC5PPF...abc_FPC8V2Y3N711133Y0AJ2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Charger pic is attached
Hello,
Please check this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/VOOC
Aparenetly VOOC (OnePlus calls it Warp Charge) & Quick Charge aren't compatible with each other.
They may only slow charge each other !!
Thanks

IQ charging/QC/PD is limited to 18W input on the Oneplus 8T, You'll get full speed only from the provided charger. Bummer.

Yeah and you only get slow charging using any QC chargers. Bummer naxal is right
You can still have a pseudo fast charge using a USB-PD (Power Delivery, up to 27W) compatible charger. However, it won't be as fast as with OnePlus' WarpCharge (or OPPO VOOC) .
