Is bypass charging possible for z fold 2, this feature was introduced to asus rog 3 to prolong battery life via software update...
If it is possible to port it, would be very nice to have this feature
That would have to be hardware supported.
An Asus exclusive it seems.

I heard somebody here said Lollipop update of Z3 has enabled Quick Charge 2.0 (which is disabled in most of the variants in Kitkat and only active in Japanese version). I want to know whether this is true, because I am about to use a Note 4 charger to boost the charging speed (3 hours of charging time really causes inconvenience to me). Is it possible and does it affect the battery health? Or should I wait the Sony UCH10 http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/05/2...a-z3-plus-10-minute-charge-to-last-5-5-hours/. Thank you very much for your help

I am wondering the same. I spoke to UK support on live chat and 2 different people said it is, but it seems they were referring to this http://eshop.sonymobile.com/gb/buy/gb-quick-charger-ep881 as the second agent kept telling me that is the only one i should use. This was after saying it was quick charge 2.0 compatible so i'm just not sure! But i want to buy one off amazon!
KitKat supported QC2.0
Charging current is limited to 1.5A even with a QC2.0 charger though, so you will only see a significant difference:
1) When charging with the screen turned on
2) When using longer USB cables
Normal non-QC2 chargers can hit the limit with the screen turned off and a short USB cable. QC2.0 chargers can hit this limit when running Google Maps Navigation through a much longer/thinner cable.
Do you know why this is? I received my QC 2.0 charger and right enough my charging current maxes out around 1588mA regardless what I'm doing on my phone at the time so that makes sense that it can do more.
Also, why do some sources including Sony claim only the Japanese z3 supports QC 2.0?
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?

I recommend using always a low power charger, slow charges keeps battery healthy, i had the pixel 5" and i got amazing battery life up to 6:30 hs Screen on time over Wifi. Always using a good charger but with slow charge

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

3 Questions I have for US users. I have searched forum but haven't found answer yet.
1.) As the title says, does the hotspot work for you automatically? I do NOT pay for extra hotspot feature but have Unlimited Grandfather Plan. I have always rooted or had Custom rom that allows Hotspot to work when stock ROMs tend to Give a Permission Error message if Not on Hotspot plan. In the past I had to even edit build.prop and another file to access the permission of native hotspot.
2.) Does this phone have Fast charging? (Moto website says 10W Rapid Charge). If so, Do I need to buy a fast Charge power plug or is the one included able to do fast charge?
3.) Since this phone has Stylus capabilities will future Moto G Power ROMs be able to support this device? (Assuming these Moto G phones get some Dev Love or ports). (Maybe a Note owner has gone through development of ROMs from other Samsung variants would know?)
(Just bought this phone 5 minutes ago and waiting for next day delivery since my Huawei is RIP :crying:. )
The WiFi Hotspot works for me without any special config/hacks on the stock ROM. I purchased the Moto G Stylus through the Motorola website. I'm on AT&T and do not pay for the "hotspot" service, just my standard data plan.
"Fast Charging" isn't a specific standard so I cannot tell you if that is supported. The included charger output is 2A at 5V, which equals 10 watts. That corresponds to the specs on the Motorola website. Seems to charge fast enough. The battery doesn't go below 80% with my daily usage so I use a lower powered charger to charge overnight to reduce the wear on the battery.
As you've noted, the Moto G Power & Moto G Stylus are very similar. I would guess a Moto G Power ROM would probably boot on the Moto G Stylus, and that the stylus would work for input. Features such as launching an app when the stylus is removed probably wouldn't work unless the ROM developer adds support for the sensor. The camera packages are also different so the Stylus camera's may not function without a specific custom ROM for the Moto G Stylus. I think the real hold up for custom ROM's at this point is the lack of custom recoveries for Android 10 in general.

Yes I've been seeing there was changes made in Android 10 that is slowing down Custom recovery development but Im sure that will get figured out soon enough. There's always that obstacle with new android updates.
As far as the charger I have read some people are using a 18w charger for these phones so I guess they must have the fast charging or whatever its called (QC 3.0 or Power Delivery), but I guess you are right that charging at that rate will take a toll on the battery life. And that's great if Native hotspot works without modding any files. Not sure why some unlocked phone companies put locks on it in the past on their stock FW. But anyways Thanks for letting me know.

On the topic of charging, using an 18w or even a 100w charger won't charge the phone any faster if the charging circuit dictates a 10w max. 10w "Rapid Charging" is what is listed on the Motorola website. The 665 chipset supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 but Motorola may have customized/limited the charging circuit. I'm guessing they did, or they would advertise the phone as Quick Charge 3 or Rapid Charge 18w compatible. I see Motorola sells some Quick Charge 3.0 18w chargers but they have the disclaimer "*Not all devices will charge at the same rate. Some devices may not be able to utilize the full 18W. Charging rate reduces as charge levels become full to protect battery life." I think the only way we would know for sure is to run some tests comparing the charging speed with an 18w charger and a 10w charger.
Well......Just got a message from AT&T saying ,
"AT&T Free Msg: You've used 100% of your 10GB mobile hotspot data this bill period. You still have access to the 15GB we temporarily added at no charge until your bill cycle ends or June 30, at which time mobile hotspot data will slow to a max speed of 128Kbps. Go to www.att.com/myATTUsage to track your data use......so I guess without my rooted phone they are able to track my usage of Hotspot. Just wanted to report back on this. I'll definitely need to find the fix for this asap.
I pay for unlimited. I'm not trying to pay for unlimited "with option to share with my other devices" and I never have. I'll have to root and find tether provision or script to block the monitoring of my usage. Been with AT&T since around 2006 (maybe before), so not happy to get throttled after 10 GBS of hotspot. Anyone know if the tether_dun_required 0” trick works?
Is there any way to add support for Quick Charge 3.0 or 4.0 to OnePlus 6 device?
Since there is limit to use only dash chargers....i want to use other fast chargers... Is there any way to overcome propriety charging?
nop. Its a hardware thing...
Hi everyone!
This is the second day I'm using my brand new GW4 (bluetooth version), and the second time in a row that the watch popped up a cooling down message while charging. I haven't used its original charger but a Samsung Wireless Charger Pad (EP-3100), manufactured in 2018, with which I charge without a problem all my Samsung devices (Note 8, Note 10, Buds+, GWA2). The pad even has a fan which is turned on when I place my GW4 on it.
Does it sound that my GW4 is defective or Samsung's charger pad is simply incompatible? Tomorrow I'll try to charge it with the charger which is included in the package, but I'd like your opinion on this.
Thank you in advance!
Honestly it just sounds like it's getting too much juice. I'd use the charger it came with and if that doesn't fix it then you have a defective watch

Huh I didn't even know this watch had a cooling system lol I personally haven't noticed any heating issues but now I'm hesitant to get a 3rd party wireless charger
