Fast Charging "Homemade". What are the risks?

I lost my original Fast Charger in my school and now I'm without one. The problem is, that sometimes I need that great feature.
My question is, can I disassembly a random 9V charger and "adapt" a Micro-USB cable to it? Since the GS6 supports 9V I don't see a problem there. Or must I short some data pins in order to enable fast charging to not fry the device?

Why don't you just buy a new one?

I definitely think that's not a good idea. Buy a new one. If you are worried about Samsung charger price you can buy a cheaper charger that support Qualcomm 2.0 quickcharge, it's compatible.

I thought the whole thing was dynamic, that at lower battery levels it charges at different amperage than higher levels, and at a certain point it kicks over to 5V. It doesn't charge at 9V the whole time.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using XDA Free mobile app

@quarlow is right, it's dynamic.
You should buy a new one, much more safe.

If I plug a normal 'old' 600mA 5V charger to it, it says that it will charge in 6 HOURS! I can't wait for that.
I have disassembled the charger, unsolded the Female USB plug and solded it to an 9V charger from an TP-Link Switch.
I plugged it in and the phone started charging. It says "Cable charging" instead of "Fast charging" and it stated 6 hours too. After that, I shorted the data pins and then the time reduced to 2 hours...
I also tried a 12V charger (1.5A), but it don't charged, nor maked any charging sound.
Now I concluded two things:
1. Samsung S6 phones are very robust with charger voltages :silly:
2. It isn't that easy to make a fast charger.
I hope I have saved some questions now

Thanks for all the replies, but now I haven't money to buy one. Where I live, they are really expensive!
Oh, aaand, I don't know if it's a good idea to charge at 9V the whole time, because when it reaches 100%, I hear constantly the charging sound.

Looking at a Samsung Travel Adapter change...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/54xt2u315nn1tkt/2015-09-27 14.04.18-1.jpg?dl=0
Output is: 9v at 1.67A, or 5v at 2.0A. It's listed as an adaptive charger.

Thanks, I will search for an 9V charger that has this amperage.
Btw, some chargers have adaptive 12V output.... Is that QuickCharge 3.0?

A normal Samsung or LG charger of 1.8A/2A output still charge my S6 in about 1.5 hours. Get one from a relative or friend or buy one if the S6 charger is too costly

the factory charger got in fire sometimes i don know abt home-made chargers... take care dude

You gotta be kidding. Spend $10 and get a QuickCharge 2.0 adapter.
Don't risk it. Samsung Fast Charge is the same thing as Qualcomm Quick Charge. It's Qualcomm's technology, licensed with no loyalty fee.
QuickCharge 2.0 uses the data pins to negotiate the charge voltage with your power adapter. Otherwise it just uses 5V.
I see on my S6 it stays at 9V all the time. The phone pulls the current it needs, so you don't have to try to match that current on the power adapter side. Just make sure it's at least 1.6A, preferably 2A. I never saw my S6 pulling 2A at 5V or 9V.

I'd imagen as this a form for devs . And this guy is trying to create somthing . The devs would be a bit more yaknow . Creative. First off
The guy is trying to make the adaptive charger .give him a bit of credit . I'm currently making a portable charger and I want it to use samsung fast charge
I'm using 18650 battery's 4.2 volts fully charged 3.7 volts give or take when they sag.
So if there is anyone with half a brain out there. How do you get the 9v (8.4) amp to make it a fast charger ( under one and a half hours. ) I'll worry about building the switch to the 5 volts after ( 4.2)
Is it loop the pins . Pin to earth pin to positive loop pins to negative ) the information isn't out there so surely some one has the information. ( just FYI the sgs6 is perfectly capable of being charged at 9 volts. The battery is a nine volt according to the build information explains why charging with any other charger takes 6 hours. .
Also to the op if you did indeed have a similar idea to me just tell erm straight I wanna mess about with low current and voltage dc haha. ( also I tried 18 volts samsung phones do no alow the charge over 9volts so it cannot hurt you're phone

Fast Chargers

The LG V10 does support Qualcomm 2.0 Fast Charging. Here are the models of Batteries, Car Chargers and Wall Chargers that I have tested and confirmed that work with the V10 . I will include some video reviews as well.
MOD Edit: Referral links not allowed and have been removed

So do you need a new charger that supports fast charging, and any micro USB cable will do?
Does the charger that comes with the phone support fast charge?

yes, the charger that comes with the V10 is a quick charge and most micro USB cables (should) work with the quick chargers.

The Samsung adaptive quick charger from the S6/Note 5 seems to be working well. Just an FYI if anyone has one laying around.

Tronsmart said:
Not all of the micro usb cable will support quick charge. you need the cable which support charging and data sync together.
The quick charge 2.0 technology need to transfer/communicate the signal from the charger to the smartphone. some cheap micro usb cable which just have the charging function won't work on qc2.0 chargers.
also the 20awg cable help to transfer high current, see the explanation from wiki:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge
here is a sample photos for our cable:

Yes I am trying to look back at where I got my cable now. This is the heavier duty, longer cable I use. It says in the description a few different things that makes me think it is compatible. I guess I'll find out for sure when I get the device in my hands.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OCDZQA0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00
Edit: I did find out that it does support quick charge, so I'm all good!
FYI I would reccommend this cable if you are looking for a longer cable that is heavy duty. I am sure most have used Anker products in the past, the quality is present in this product as well, I have had mine for close to a year with no issues.

I love Anker product, such high quality! The dual port car charger supplied 2 amps per port. The desk charger supplies 2amps per port over 5 ports and over the last year I've purchased 40+ usb cables in varying legnths. 10ft - 1ft. Connections are always snug and no wiggle on my phones. I keep giving these things away when a co worker needs a cable, they always notice that their device charges faster, especially if they no longer have the oem cable.

Quick Charge not compatible with charge-only cable
In order to prevent data theft I prefer to use a charge-only cable when plugging my phone into any port outside my home.
According to Qualcomm, Quick Charge 2.0 is designed to be connector-independent and is designed to minimize charging issues associated with long or thin cables, allowing for a superior charging experience, independent of cable type.
However, since the high-efficiency transfer of electricity requires the D+/D- data lines for effective handshaking and communication, it will not work with a charge-only cable.

I have to say the quick charge lg charger still takes twice as long as my note 4 edge to charge...

Other than stock cable, PNY cable works pretty well especially with Anker 8A intelligent charger.

With screen off or you looking at it checking? The lg g4 turns off qc while screen is on. Perhaps the v10 does the same.

OK I see, humm try installing the app Ampere, it shows charge/discharge. It isn't exact but it gives a reference.

Will do.

I can say without a doubt charging with the Samsung quick charger from the S6/Note5 charges the V10 faster than the LG quick charger. Luckily I have several around the house.

I think that is due to the fact that the LG charges at 2.0 vs the Sammy.
I'll have to pick up an aftermarket charger on Amazon or something. Anyone recommend one that they use with a higher charging rate than the LG one?
Matt

something i found out bay accdent is it doesnt always fast charge. its not an option to turn it off but from what i can tell if your phone is to hot when pluged in it just does a normal charge. greatest thing ever
and i did try it on two chargers that have fast charge the one in the box and the note 4 charger but it didnt start the fast charge. once the phone was cool i actually unpluged to go somewhere came back ten minutes later pluged in and there it was fast chargeing.

In response to @clockcycle
It appears though it may charge faster than normal charging methods with screen on, that it almost quadrupled charging rate with screen off according to Ampere.
Take it for what it's worth, I am not sure how accurate it is, that second screenshot was taken just after turning the screen back on, where it proceeded to recalculate and then displayed around 700 again.

Awesome thanks for testing that, it seems to be just like the LG G4 but slightly higher (500 screen on, 2200 screen off). Ampere is a guestimate, but I use USB Doctor sleeves to verify. What charger did you use to test?
Edit: according to your screen shots, they were 2 mins apart, you went from 8% to 11%, gained 3%~

Car charger

I know in the early days of USB-C some chargers were tested to be non 100% compatible and can actually damage your device.
It is about time I got a USB-C car charger.
I should not worry they should all be 100% compatible ?
What have you purchased for your car if you care to recommend something ?

Never mind I see google sells a USB-C Car Charger https://store.google.com/product/belkin_27w_usb_c_car_charger
I am just going to assume it is safe and order one.

Should look at Anker, cheaper than what Verizon will get you but really good quality. I have to order a new one cause I forgot to lock the car one night and someone just had to go car hopping that night.

This charger from Belkin supports USB C P.D up to 27W so it will charge the pixels at full 18W rapid charge, reputable brand too.

There are no Anker USB Power Delivery chargers?

My blitzwolf usb c car charger fed 2400mA this morning, phone at 66%, got to 99% by the time I got to work. It's as fast as my zerolemon QC wall charger on my lg g4.
Well worth the $5 shipped from banggoods

That's only 10.8W - far cry from the 18W the phone is capable of.

I am sure you know that the phone and chargers negotiate different levels of charging dependant on several conditions. In particular notice in my post, the phone was at 66% charge, far from depleted, which would have probably triggered a faster charge.
Please show us what car charger you're using and the tests you ran.

How do you know it won't fry the Pixel? It's some cheap thing from China. USB C has had a lot of shady manufacturers. I would not be trusting my phone to that.
You need a USB PD charger. Type C should hit 5V/3A, or 80% of the maximum possible, 9V/2A, but still... it's not guaranteed safe.

Can anyone confirm that quick charge really works? I mean there is a quick charge notification in the lock screen and the two thunderbolts instead of simple charging and one thunderbolt?
@tap007 @perzan07 @evilpaul13
As long as I know most of the market chargers support Qualcomm Quick Charge in any of its three versions. QC 3.0 has backward-compatible with QC 2.0 and QC 1.0 devices so buying a QC 3.0 is the simplest answer for a devices that use a Qualcomm processor but Honor 8 uses a HiSilicon Kirin 950.
QC 1.0 is 5V and 2.0A and QC 2.0 and 3.0 are 5/9/12V 3A. The chargers have a driver based in Intelligent Negotiation for Optimum Voltage (INOV) to know how to charge the phone. I've read somewhere that Huawei QuickCharger has it own charging protocol and can charge QC 2.0 devices but a QC 2.0 charger cannot charge a Huawei (not Qualcomm) device.
So what I expect from all of those quick chargers in the market is that NOT recognise the Honor 8 as a compatible device and give it less than 5V 2A (10W), probably 5V 1A (5W) that are not the 9V 2A (18W) expected.
That's why I ask for a confirmation that charger and device recognise themselves and quick charge is really activated.
PS: In their webpage, Aukey says the following: "AUKEY AiPower Adaptive Charging Technology gives all your USB powered devices exactly what they need with up to 2.4A per Ai USB Port." and "Combine AUKEY AiPower with Qualcomm Quick Charge in a single USB port and you get PowerAll Adaptive Charging for all USB powered devices. One USB charging port to rule them all!" so maybe their chargers are compatible but I still looking for a confirmation somewhere. (I don't trust too much Alibaba, aliexpress, eBay... product descriptions).
Thanks!

I've gotten two chargers off there and both, including the car one I linked, support Huawei's Fast Charge. I get the Fast Charge message, my battery icon turns green AIDA64 says I'm charging at >1A. My battery has been lasting long enough I haven't bothered charging it in the car much though.

I was unable to order them so I ordered an Aukey one with AiPower that I think could work. If does I'll post it here. If not I'll resell it to someone with a QC device. Thanks for the advice!

Well I've received the Aukey charger and I've to say that the info I read on some forums is wrong and it is not compatible with our device (and probably not compatible with any not Qualcomm Huawei/Honor device). The item bought was that:
http://www.ebay.es/itm/252404366500?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
It official info here:
https://www.aukey.com/products/dual...ick-charge-2-0-aipower-with-usb-a-to-c-cable/
Review:
It came with 2 high quality USB cables, one microUSB and one USB-C. It looks as a high end product and works fine as a regular charger. May be your car charger if you are the owner of a Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 compatible device. About the seller just say it took 4 weeks to be in my place (one week less than average China packages).
Check pics attached. Regards.

I have the Elephone "Tornado" charger on order from the 'Bay, and supposedly it supports HFCP AND comes with dual charging ports.

Any updates on the charger ?

Huawei does not support FAST CHARGING, it has its own unique charging which is Super Fast Charging, if you bought a car charger or any charger and use it and it did not show Super Fast charging Notification or your battery icon on the upper right has no 2 electric logo inside the battery icon it means you bought the wrong charger.

Hi
You have to look for Huawei AP32 it's Original Huawei wall charger
and Huawei AP38 it's Genuine Huawei Car charger.

Just to add more info regarding the ''fast charging''
I have orderd from ebay some cheap usb type C cable
And it works fine and gives the ''fast charge'' messege and I have
tested it ... it also takes same time in minutes to charge the phone..
So that means it has no difference to use that usb cable..
Some of my phones as soon as I changed the usb cable were not fast charging
That why I am reporting it ..

To anyone interested, I searched Nillkin's site for Honor 8 accessories and it gave a result for a car charger, called Nillkin Celerity Car Charger. It does support 9V/2A so I believe it should work with Honor 8.
I also found it in eBay cheaper than in Nillkin's site.
Also, Huawei Honor AP31 car charger should the job. It does support quick charge. Found it in eBay for about 25 US$.
P.S. Sorry but I cannot post links, since this is my first post.

It sounds like you're **assuming** because it failed, it must not be original?
I'm not so sure that's a safe assumption. Nonetheless, I'd avoid the oem charger (I have multiple of them) as they get pretty warm, as does the phone, when charging.
Go with something that is highly rated and certified for Quick Charge 3. The Anker I bought charges faster and stays cooler than oem chargers do. There are various QC3 mfg to choose from, get one with high ratings and u should be all set.
This is the one I got, it works fine: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077HFFLMS/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

Right. You don't need "LG" charger, you need good QuickCharge 3.0 charger. There are many available, but Anker is trusted name brand.

Ok thanks ?

FYI, the V30 is also USB PD compatible. It will quick charge with type C laptop chargers as well as Pixel and Essential phone chargers.
Edit- Nekteck brand makes IF certified chargers, it is available from Amazon and I have a car and wall charger that have both served me well.

Agreed, Anker is a great brand. Aukey is another good one - their cables are terrible (at least for USB micro, in my experience). Still, these are two great ways to go without wasting money on the LG (or any other brand's) rebadging.

I always use Blitzwolf. They have some great chargers / cables.
I also bought an Aukey one and it seems solid.

Just to put in my opinion, I like Blackweb products.

Luckily certified QuickCharge 3.0 charges are inexpensive. You can get a 3-pack for like $12 with free shipping.

No. You need Qualcomm certified QuickCharge for fast charge. OnePlus won't license that.

Off topic, but are you staying with LG for 5 more years? If so I need you to give a heads up on every unlocked V series device with fastboot commands.
