Hi,
Wanted your thoughts and opinions on charging speeds. I've never actually timed how long it takes to charge. i leave it overnight and it's ready when i wake up.
When i plug the phone into the charger, it flashes up slow charging for 2 seconds then disappears. which got me wondering how much it's actually using.
i used to use Current Widget app on my Samsung S3 which told me exactly how much current the phone was taking from the charger. typically it was 1A via AC/mains and 499mA from a PC. Plugged in to AC, I could play a power hungry game and it would still charge the phone at a good rate.
The LG kernel doesn't like these apps - the mA value is all over the place but it's typically <500mA displayed.
I could buy a USB ammeter to work out how much the USB charger is supplying but do you have any other methods of finding out? Do you know what your phone uses?
at home, i use a Xtrememac dual USB charger, 2x 2.1A output with a shielded 3M USB cable. for those wondering, it's the same regardless what cable i use. Have also tried with generic usb chargers, iPad chargers and official and OEM cables from LG and various other manufacturers. Have also used a data-shorted USB cable from PC which is the same result.
I haven't tried the LG charger yet (mainly as it's a 2 flat-pin plug and i don't know where i put the box) but i think i recall it being a 1.8A charger.
I use an application called "charger report" which can display current consumption and Xtar "USB detector" device. They both show the same numbers. But Xtar USB detector can detect voltage of a charger. The charging current of LG g pro 2 is 1.4-1.5A when the smartphone is not used and higher when I use it. Using USB detector I found out that this smartphone can charge with maximum current a charger can give only if the charger's voltage is 5.3v. So it chargers at full speed with original charger and two other chargers I have: a charger from my Lenovo s6000 (2A 5.4V) and from my Asus t100 (2A 5.3V).
i tried that app too and got the same results as with Current Widget.
i'll buy a "usb detector". thanks.
I forgot to mention that it take approximately two hours for charging indicator to reach 100% when the smartphone reports that it fully charged. And it's necessary to left it connected to a charger for ten to twenty minutes to be really fully charged. Otherwise charging indicator will soon drop to 90%. One can tell if a smartphone is still charging by touching a charger or by looking at current consumption: a charger would be warm and current would be higher than 200mA.
Is the GP2 Quick Charge (1 or 2) enabled? I can't read anything about it other than it's in Snapdragon chipsets. Not sure if it can be disabled or not.

The Snapdragon 800,801 and 805 is for Quick Charge 2.0
The Snapdragon 600 for 1.0
ok, does anyone use a Quick Charger with their GP2? is it noticeably faster?
not yet available in Austria, I have read it kills the battery life on

Hey ray-lee!
I just bought this phone and as it seems it could get someday similar problems as my former phone the Galaxy Note 2.
That phone has had problems with charger and cable also. I had to buy another set of charger and cable since the original ones gave up a few months after i purchased the phone (it was used). The cable managed only 500mA wich is very slow for a battery that strong. One night was once not enough to charge my phone from 30% to 100%. As it seems it is problematic to manufacture cables, that can hold up and continually grant the 1,8 A that would charge our device in just 2 hours. I read somewhere that the G Pro 2 is one of 5 devices that has blazing fast speeds on charging the battery. If you handle the cables with caution hopefully you will not encounter problems. If so my guess is, that you will have a hard time in finding a cable that can hold up. Sadly the stock cables are always more expensive. I do not get it, why companies dont build travel adapters that only charge ur phones built solid with sturdy cables to ensure the transmission of high currents. That way with charger + usb cable is just stupid, even when tis is an all in one solution.
I like this phone very much and i hope, that the cables will not be that sloppy as the cables that Samsung had/ still has. With Current Widget i get readings around 1500 mA (1,5 A) when connected to the stock charger. And yes the LG Charger is an 1,8 A one. I have also flat pins, but received an adapter to be able to connect it in Hugary.
Just sharing thoughts here, that will maybe helpful to someone...

i "think" as long as device has snapdragon it is Quick Charge enabled
I use the "Charging Report" app on my phone, and it reports proper values.
(Around 1500mAh with the LG charger, and around 1600mAh with the 2.0A Samsung charger.)
If your phone is charging slowly, check the CABLE. Cable can broke too.
(Many people complain about their Samsung charging cables, because they just stop delivering power after a while and just charge the device slowly.)

Has anybody measured the charging rate of the S8 Plus? More specifically has anybody checked to see how many amps they're charging at?
I'm using the app called Ampere and I'm only seeing a max of 1 amp regardless of what battery percent I start charging at.
This seems really bad considering this is suppose to be fast charging. On the pixel I was getting 2+ amps at all times. On the nexus 6p I was getting 1.8 amps.
Can anybody else also check to see what you're getting. Please post what the battery percent is at when up plug in to charge, and what the app Ampere is showing.
I am using original charging brick and original usb a to type c cable.
When the screen is on fast charging is disabled, when its off its charging at [email protected] from 0 to maybe 70% then it trickle charges.
With standard 2A charger, i can see 1600-1700 in ampere,
With QC 2.0 , am checking the voltmeter and it do the 9v charging,
So nothing wrong

No, i mean any decent 2A charger,
I use my country local brand Hippo, for example, and charging rate is good
The one came with the phone is QC 2.0 that can go faster than normal 2A charger, although it only rated at 1.67 but it's 9V
So this is what I've found out.
First of all the app Ampere only gives charging information for when the screen is ON and not OFF. I uninstalled the app and installed AccuBattery which does everything.
When charging with the screen on the phone charges with amps of 1.3 amps.
When charging with the screen off the phone charges at 2.5 Amps.
Again all original utilities used

This is interesting and annoying at the same time. I had no idea the phone charged at different rates based on if the screen was off or on. my previous htc 10 did not do this and charged fast anytime it was plugged in. while driving and running waze i noticed the s8 didnt charge as fast with the screen on but ill have to try with it off to see the rate. i also installed accubattery to test screen off charging rate since ampere doesnt. thanks

Well I drained to 60% and recharged and on fast charge i got 1.5 amps or 1500 milli
I go off my cable it has never let me down
I have had to many device where the readings of the apps where off
That current cable is pretty accurate most apps I have seen on S8 though
I use it to detect charging problems on blocks,cords,and device Found the sweet spot on my old note 2 with it and made it usable for now again

It variates up and down a bit seems pretty stable till i turn on screen
So I bought a very cheap cable at the 'Action' (a discount store in the Netherlands) and I didn't believe what I saw.... 2.7 Amp, with SCREEN ON. I tested with 3 apps. It IS really the loading amp.
Unbelievable !! THe cable can be inserterd in 2 ways (everybody knows here, USB-C) With the label on the cable up works the fastest. I think charging with phone off goes even faster, till 80 %, maximal 45 min. Is this an update of Android for the S8plus or do I have an extremely good cable ?
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

How can I update my p20 pro to the latest version while keeping all my data and stuff?
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.

Go to MangusZen HurUpdater thread. That thread have all info you need.
I wonder why I am not getting the promised charging speed of 50w?
With the screen off I am getting 26.99w at most.
With the screen on I am getting around 12w.
I charged my fone at around 35%. I have a hunch the 50w will only kick in from 0% up to a certain percentage.
Anybody here observed similar results?
50 w is just for the beginning, when your battery is almost 0%.
The charger is not 50W flat. The charging power will change depending on the battery charge.

I understand your point
but if someone came from 30W charge phone to 50W charge phone
he will expect it to be faster at least, not slower
25W is very good but it is not 50W
I think he is asking to see is it SW bug or HW problem or just a big lie from Xiaomi about how much we should get in real world

Okay, i had both phones, a OP 8pro (30w charge) and my new Xiaomi 10Pro and compared charging speeds and the Mi10 Pro is much more faster than the OP8 pro, it felt it takes hours until the op8 pro reaches 100%. i dont care about measurements, ampere showed me a peak of ~9500ma at peak on the mi10 pro, no idea about the OP8pro on ampere. My Mi10 pro had a 60w charger but i dont have an usb tester anymore, if the phone got a 100% charge under a hour then everything should fine, isnt?
Maybe your USB tester isn't capable to detect the right power of the charger, as i know these usb testers are only able to count voltages from quick charge (1,2,3...)?? But i can wrong here...

he he, thats a funny thing, trust me ...
i bought the oneplus8 pro at relaese day as popup edition (cases and headphones included) 999€ and i used it for a bit more than one month BUT i never was satisfied at all, i mean there was a lot of camera improvements over time but i couldn't understand the hype about the display and when it comes to battery life i was a bit disappointed. (My former phone was a Huawei P30 pro) I had the feeling the battery was draining faster than normal and as i said, i never felt completely happy with the phone. So last weekend i surfed in the web and found a shop in the city next to me that sold the Xiaomi Mi10 pro so i decided to take a look on the phone. And trust me, i saw the phone in the store, played around a bit and i knew immediately thats the right one. I compared both phones a lot and until today i doesn't regret the decision. The Phone is Top notch in battery, display, performance i miss nothing from the opo8pro and i'm lucky that i sold the phone. All i kept from the oneplus was the WirelessZ Bullets.

My point exactly. Notice i never complained about the charging speed. My issue is Xiaomi advertising this to have 50w charging but we consumers are only getting 25w tops. I am trying to figure out why. Will try to charge with the ampere app.

mine charges with like 50w (45-50w) until about 40% and after that it slows down gradually, which is the expected behavior.
this phone changed the way I use my phone completely! I always charged my devices overnight to 100. but now considering how little it takes to charge this phone I just don't think about charging every time it gets to like 10 I plug it in to 80%.
1% to 80% took 33min, 3502mAh
4% to 80% took 29min, 3227mAh

Did you use a tester to conclude you are getting 45-50w below 40%? If so, may I see it? I am suspecting the low reading could be due to my tester.

yup I have some cheapo china testers
the better one (usb c) shows about 45w when charging
the second one (usb a) only allows quick charge 18w because the 65w xiaomi charger uses a half assed usb 3 port (one pin more than usb 2) and
therefore only works if the (usb a) tester also has usb 3 pins. For the same reason if you use a normal usb 2 (usb a to c) cable you won't get 50w
i also tested it again. it charges up to 33% with ~45w and then goes down to ~30w I checked again at arrount 65% it was charging with ~25w. At least these are the values that my tester shows
other values (charge % , time, mAh) in my previous post were readings from the phone itself.

the second one (usb a) only allows quick charge 18w because the 65w xiaomi charger uses a half assed usb 3 port (one pin more than usb 2) and
therefore only works if the (usb a) tester also has usb 3 pins. For the same reason if you use a normal usb 2 (usb a to c) cable you won't get 50w
i also tested it again. it charges up to 33% with ~45w and then goes down to ~30w I checked again at arrount 65% it was charging with ~25w. At least these are the values that my tester shows
other values (charge % , time, mAh) in my previous post were readings from the phone itself.

My usb tester is exactly the first photo. Since I got my unit used, it might not have the original cable.
Would you be kind enough to check if on the USB A side, where the cable attaches to plug, does it day 3A?
Also, at what amps does it say when the charged is doing 45w?
Thank you

You can see the extra pin by looking down the port
I marked them in the attachments. Basically it's one of the 5 extra pins that usb 3 uses.
Sorry I have to check again later for the exact amperage, just charged my device. This time i checked the percentage and it charged to 41% with 45w. The deciding logic is probably more complicated than just a percentage.
Edit: added a photo with the exact charge info
the reason u r not getting 50w is bcos u put a meter between the charger and the cable... in order for xiaomi to draw out 50w from usba they put in a small microchip inside the cable to trigger the 50w quick change. if u look into the usb cable u will see extra pin in the middle of the cable, this pin work with the microchip to trigger the 50w quick charge.
solution:
1. always use original cable come with the mi10pro phone.
2. dont plug anything between the cable and charger.
3. if u want to test charging speed with meter, use type-c to type-c meter.
FYi, xiaomi 50w is using 10v 5a.
The phone heats up to 43 degrees during fast charging.
As the title says. The phone shows mi turbo charging and not the yellow/gold 120 while charging.
Any ideas?
Using a 120v outlet?
Edit: yep you live in the US. 120v outlets with this charger can only provide 96w and won't even get that high actually. They use 96va but the actual power being used is only ~55w if you use a kill-a-watt. Your phone never charged at 120w unfortunately. If it said it was, the software was lying.

Actually I am using 220v and it was charging at 120w speed 2 days ago. The difference is staggering between the 120w and the mi turbo charging.
I just did a factory reset and it didn't help. I'm starting to think the cable or the charger malfunctioned but they are a week old both.
Sounds like the brick - change the cable and see if it works. I don't think there are any 3rd (or official) 120W chargers. Maybe time for RMA, they may even send you one without a return
Hi, same issue phone not charging with 120 'Turb max' only says "quick charging" i keep try to enable/disable like 20-30 times to get it 120w charge....
not sure if cable wire broken or charger f** up...

How do you enable or disable turbo max? I have the same problem, since last updates the 5-100 charge takes more than an hour. That's a shame for the "super fast" charge. I'm really regretting of getting a Xiaomi phone. I have been an always iphone user and this is my first experience with an Android and for now it's very dissapointing.

I am not enabling or disabling anything, yes sir we have the same problem... not sure if the problem is hardware or software.... really sad
I have a 240v circuit in my garage breaker but I never found the outlet for it. Our dryer also has a 240v outlet but it's not a standard plug. I was curious to experiment with proper 120w charging so I bought a step up transformer on Amazon, 300w 120v to 240v or vice versa.
For what it's worth I've had to plug and unplug the cable from the charger occasionally or it won't charge properly. I'm guessing dust gets in just the wrong place or something, or some other weird little quirk. The other day it was doing really slow charging on my 55w wireless charger, I had to unplug the cable from the brick and charger, and unplug the brick from the wall, but it all worked fine again after that.
Same for me. Living in Denmark. We have 220V. Using the original 120w charger and cable. When charging the message is "quick charge" . Not max 120 Wat. Charging is slow. When I get to the batery status. It shows for example 30 min left to charge from 70% to 100%.
The 120w charging was the whole reason I got this phone. What is going on?
That's a bad reason to buy a phone

yes, I feel sad the phone is a monster but now takes 1hr to full charge... not sure if that is after updates (software ) or just damaged hardware (charger)....

Yes. It was never charging 120W max. Just quick charge.
Super fast charging is (was) a really nice feature of this phone.
I will try to ask Giztop (the webshop where I bought it) to help me. Maybe RMA of the charging brick.
I am still on the Chineese ROM. I am waiting for Mi unlock until friday.
Is there anyone from EU (220V) using a plug adapter and is getting 120W max charging?
I am in Moscow. Just got mine today. Working fine. Getting 120W charging. I have no idea if yours in hardware or software. I am on latest A11 weekly

Thank you brother for leting me know. You got 220V/230V like me in the power outlet - I was worried that it might be the reason.
I wonder if the "converter plug" might be an issue. I used 2 different ones.
Maybe sofware. I will flash it soon (still waiting for unlock) and we will see.
Got to stay positive

I have a very loose converter. It barely holds the brick. But the charging is still working at 120

I am using a transformer in the US that gets about 240v and I have no issues with 120w. That said it's only slightly faster than on 120v (which is supposedly 96w) anyway, not much of a difference.
Beep boop

My friend, I have a feeling there is no issue with software. You won't solve this issue flashing another rom. I think it is better to return this unit to the seller invoking warranty conditions.
The unit is not performing as it is expected.
If you unlock bootloader, then you will probably void your warranty.
Do not waste your time, get in touch with seller.
Best regards,
Andrei
