Fast charging confusion please help - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Ok so... I have some confusion I need to wrap my head around right.
So I went on holiday recently and I forgot to bring the charger that came in the box with my honor 8 so I decided to buy one on holiday. So I bought the Samsung adaptive fast charging wall adapter and used that.
Now here's my problem I recently realized that when I used the Samsung charger my phone says fast charging and it has two lightning bolt symbols on the battery percentage but when I used my normal charger that came in the box with it it just says charging.
But the honor charger charges much faster even if it doesn't says fast charging but the Samsung one is very slow. So now I'm confused does the honor 8 charger do fast charge or not and if it does why doesn't it say fast charging like the Samsung charger. I'm really confused now.
Also is there a fast charger that the honor 8 supports and actually charges faster with please let me know

As far as I know Huawei/Honor phones only fast charge with their proprietary chargers that you got in the box with the phone. However last month dog chewed my USB C cable and for some reason my H8 would not charge at all with original charger but when I plug that same cable in Samsung fast charge charger it would only display one lightning symbol but would noticeably charge faster, but the only way to find this out is to use Ampere app and compare the results.

How fast is OP6 charging without dash rapid charger?

I have the Samsung Note 4. Like the OP6, it has a proprietary "quick charge" mode, but I find it will also charge quite fast when provided with a non-Quick Charge source such as a battery that can source several amps of current.
How fast does the OP6 charge without the Dash charger and cable? (in terms of amps drawn from source?)
Like it would take years like why would you want to know this, if you broke your charger buy another and look after it like. It's one of the main features of the phone and they don't talk about how fast it charges like
At work i use a QC3.0 charger for my OP6. Didn't notice a great difference to the DASH charger at home. Maybe DASH is a few minutes faster.
40% to 70% charge with QC3.0 is still insanely fast.
Stay on topic guys. OP asked a question, which could be answered with facts, rather than opinions and scenarios. In my regular car charger, I go from 22 to about 70 in 40 minutes, if I can recall correctly.

I'm not sure if you're serious or sarcastic, but In case of the former, here are a few reasons why someone might be interested in charging with other than the Dash Charger:
1) AFAIK, Dash is available in AC mains or 12V Car charger versions. I often use a 20K mAH Anker powerbank battery for charging. That is usually in situations where other power is not available, but a quick charge is needed. Huge current is available, but would the OP6 use it?
2) I use a compact travel charger that has 5 USB charging ports. Using a Dash charger would require carrying another charger (big, bulky, without retractable prongs), and occupying one (or more due to the shape) additional AC outlets.
3) I have a phone charger in my bedroom, at my desk, in my travel bag (both AC and Car style), and in my car. A quick check on Amazon seems to indicate that the Oneplus6 charger is several times more expensive than other "quick charge" chargers. Over multiple charger locations, the extra costs add up.
Using the word "like" so many times makes it difficult to understand the post.

I'm Irish, apology
I have a stockpile of fast chargers that used the weird Nexus standard (5V, 3A, non QC) and they're okay, and for overnight or at my desk at work that's plenty fast to get the job done. The phone shows them as "charging" and not "charging slowly."
I purchased a "Tinduqin oneplus5T charger" from Amazon that works and looks exactly the same as the original dash charger for about $20, but it seems to already be sold out.
If you don't use dash charger,you only can charge at 5v 1.5a,I have tested it with apple 45w pd charger,xiaomi qc3.0 and nexus 5v3a charger

It won't charge very fast because it doesn't use any on board quick charge it's all in the dash charging brick
I have a bunch quick chargers 3.0 at home. It takes a life time. I end up buying the dash charger. I still use the quick charger for over night charging
there must be some sort of software restrictions on oneplus6 since measures show that oneplus6 cannot be charged with more than 5V-1.5A.

Do you own the OP6? Do you have a USB power meter that could measure the charging current with and without the Dash charger and reply with the values?
On my Note 4, it charges at about 1.17A / 5 V when the screen is on, and the current goes up to 1.6A with the screen off. That is with either a QC2 Quick Charger or a battery power pack. The phone reports "quick charger connected" in both cases.
oneplus6 has 85% battery left, measured with usb voltmeter and original oneplus dash charger 5V-4A, it shows that oneplus6 is dawning 5V-1.3A and same thing is happening with other usb chargers capable to deliver over 5V-2A.
I guess oneplus6 should be discharged less than 50% or something in order to start receiving over 5V-3A

Is it possible to use a the original DASH-adapter but with another USB-C cable? I need a longer cable so I can use the phone whilwe charging.
OnePlus has a original cable for sale which is only 150cm Long.
My question is if I can buy any other manufacturers cable whish also support some sort of fast charging. I've heard for example that DASH-charging is the same charging model that Huawei P20 Pro uses, they just have different name. .
So, is there anyone here that has switched the OP original cable and charge it up with a cable from another manufacturer?
There has to be a solution to this. Me myself can't. be the only one that needs s longer cable.

That's normal. Phones pull the most amps when on low battery, then progressively less as they are charged.
Check how much it pulls on <40% and <80% respectively.
Well, I charged my Op6 with a no-name USB 3.0 charger yesterday (forgot my dash charger at home, I was by a friend) and from 3% to 100% it took about ~1 hour and 55 minutes.
Not that bad I guess. But I still prefer my dash charger
I'm using a huawei p20 pro charger atm. Phone states from 75 - 100 it will take 33 minutes. (prob a bit faster if I don't use the phone.
Here is a charging session with a Oneplus 2 charger without quick charge
Charging from 27% to 100% in 2 hrs, 40 min - avg. Charging speed: about 1000 mA/h
Hello,
I'm using this old thread since we're talking about the same thing.
Is there a kernel or rom for the OP6 that enables to draw as much current as possible form third party chargers? It's sad that it's stuck at 1.5A no matter the charger unless you use dash charger. 2A is already something, 3A would be awesome.
Of course only if this a software limit.

Charging speed

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Samsung Galaxy S10e can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Ive been having a bad time charging my S10e. It only fast charges with the original wall charger. I have like 3 fast chargers:
Huawei charger (9V2A/5V2A)
Huawei Power bank Quick Charge 3.0
Laptop Type C port 15W
All the options charged my previous Galaxy Note 8 without a problem
But with the S10e i have many issues:
Huawei charger (9V2A/5V2A): Phone says Fast charging but estimates 4hr to finish (how is that Fast Charge?)
Huawei Power bank Quick Charge 3.0 : The same, it says fast charge with a very high estimated time, but here, the power bank uses a green led to tell the device is pulling fast charge, and it doesnt turn on while charging the S10e (but the phone does say fast charging)
Laptop Type C port 15W: Phone doesnt say fast charging, but phone charges about 1.3% per minute
its very inconsistent
Thats strange, mine fast charges with 4 different chargers, and car charger, all of them are QC 3.0, Sony, Blitzwolf, and some cheap ones from aliexpress.

Funny, I just posted in S10 thread about cpux app and now I see that it could help you with testing your charging stuff as well. Sometimes the cables are problematic too, so using that app, while charging, you can determine the exact charging currents. It's post #9 here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10/help/wireless-charging-t3926324
I have a weird behaviour too. With Officiel Huawei charger and cable, it's not fast charging. But it's only a little slower than officiel Samsung charger : 1h40 instead of 1h25 to charge from 15%.
Another weird behaviour is : when I put the 5A Huawei cable on my QC3.0 charger, it's not fast charging. But with the official Samsung cable, on the same QC3.0 charger, it's fast charging.
Huawei have its own system fast charging different from snapdragon or exynos socs..

Anyone else having wireless charger issues?

I have a basic cheap qi charger I used with my last phone, never had an issue. With my Mi 10 Ultra it only charges correctly like 1/10 times when I place it down on the charger. The weird thing is it shows it's charging, the pad and phone get warm which means electricity is flowing somehow, but the phone drops in battery instead of charging... I don't even know what to say or do. Kind of tempted to buy that 55w wireless charger though.
I had a similar issue but found that I had a few stock apps going in the background draining the battery quicker than it could charge (it was a cheap low wattage charger). Force closed the apps and killed a couple of processes and it steadily increased. Not ideal but I took that as a sign of using a cheap wireless charger.
Still on the stock chinese Rom until I get out of unlock jail so if you're on the EU Rom this might not help.
I bought the 55W wireless charger with my phone and it's brilliant.
I tested my previous Samsung 15w wireless charger & Huawei 15w charger with the Ultra and the charging speed was a trickle (according to Accubattery app) and near unusable on the phone so will probably go for the Xiaomi 55w charger from Aliexpress which some sellers seem to be offering the 65w charging brick with.
Will sell the 2 chargers I have whci should pay for the replacement
Does anyone have a source other than aliexpress/baba for the 55w wireless charger? I don't want to wait over a month for it.
Eh... I found other sites where it cost more and took longer to ship. I decided the fastest way to get it was to buy it from the fastest shipping seller on aliexpress and not delay any more
mine seems to have stopped saying fast charging when using my wireless charger, possibly since moving to the EU rom.
Just as proof this phone has something fundamentally wrong with its Qi charging compatibility, the charger only draws 2-3w from the wall when it's not working right. It uses 8+ when it's charging right. That's not the charger. The phone is doing something wrong.
2-3w appears to be what it draws when it's doing the detection algorithm to make sure it's compatible and will accept a charge. It does the same thing on my old s20+ but then goes up in wattage when it's actually charging to 9+.
I am using the 20W wireless car charger together with the 55W wireless charger (with 65watt GAN charger), and both of them works fine and fast. Just to beware that the car wireless charger is quite heavy and may stress your AC vents.
Something has definitely changed since moving to the EU rom. On the CN rom, it would activate the fan in my Huawei charger and say fast charging, now no fan and no fast charging.
Have you added it as a bug on the EU forum. It's ok noting it here but it needs to go on the bugs list to be noticed

Charger. What is better?

Hey
I want to buy one more charger for my phone
what is better to use?
the old AY0520 charger or the warp 30W charger that came with OP7?
It doesnt matter the fast charging, if I will need it, I will use the 65W charger, but want one charger that charge it slowly, as normal speed, at night
thank you
I think you are worrying too much about that.
Just let it be, charge overnight with 65w also fine with smart control on smart phone nowaday.
A phone life is about 2 or 3 years, even if you want to use it longer then just replace your battery.
OPPO GaN 65W

General Charging the device feels very slow - Exynos

Hello, 4 days ago I bought this new s22 ultra with exynos processor, but it is generating many doubts that the loading of the device I feel that it is going very slow or more than it should be.
It always takes 2 1/2 hours or more to charge 100% with a 47w essenger charger or a Samsung charger that I have from the s10+ which I think is 20w and 3a
Measuring the charging speed in a plant or portable battery that I always have mark at most 20w but never stays at that speed, usually oscillates a lot between 10 and 16w, and stays much more at 10w which makes me weird and annoying because it is very low
I do not know if I should buy a Samsung charger of 25w since from what I have seen the 45w charge does not work, and that charger would be 5A unlike the one I have that is 3A but I do not know if it would make any difference.
I would like to know if it happens to someone else or if it is something normal, this makes me think a lot about changing phones since the charge seems to be very slow.
Please would appreciate any help, I will also leave attached the charging settings I have placed and the measurement I have made with my charger, I serve any advice you have please
Charges fine (inc. super fast) with Samsung charger ex Note 20
I have Samsung (i think 25w charger) and from 10% to 100% Max 1h10 mins
45w charges quick enough

It's a QuickCharge 3. It's an old standard for Snapdragon phones and Samsung S-series before s20. To charge fast You need 45W PPS PD 3.0 charger. PPS is crucial.
If i remember correct samsung 45watt charging is 9v x 5A not 5v x 9A. If you have 3A the maximum you can charge is 27w (9v x 3A) but if your charger is 5v then only 15w (5v x 3A).
Exynos very fast charging battery and I tested 8 hours on TV Pingu

Turn off adaptive battery. It will change the charging speed for battery life savings. It's a new feature but has been making people think fast charging modes aren't working.
