5v2.4a Charging - OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers

Has anybody had issues with charging with standard 5V2.4A USB chargers? The ones with a standard USB A port, not USB PD or Qualcomm quick charge - the ones I've been using are made by Anker and Aukey.
It takes over 8 hours to charge from 0 to 100% unless I use the warp charger. I returned it to the store and got another one with the same issue. Just want to know if this is normal for the 8T or if it's a defect with a recent batch?
I have loads of power banks, car chargers and wall chargers I've used over the years with loads of different devices and they all work perfectly, but the 8T won't pull more than about 3.5W. For reference, my Oneplus 3 will charge at ~6.5W and all other phones at least 5W.
There have been a few posts on the OP forum about this, but only in the past few days - which makes me think this may be a recent issue. If this is normal for anyone on here, it would be great if you could confirm this as Oneplus have told me very conflicting things.
Thanks in advance.

It's been noticed by many and it's pathetic that OnePlus hasn't fixed it. Advertising some of the fastest charging speeds and then delivering some of the slowest charging speeds is ridiculous.

Is there a fix for it? Or is this just the way the phones are designed?

It's all gonna depend on whether its hardware or software limitation. Id suggest checking in the lineage os thread for this device see if they also have the issue.

I just got a OP8T and charge it with my paesant Anker charger from years and years ago, no issues with that.

USB Type C cables reviewed by Google engineer

Google product engineer +BensonLeung has tested several cables, and the vast majority of them fail to meet the Type C specification, some even dangerously drawing too much power.
Interesting to note that the hugely popular Orzly cables fail his tests.
can't even trust the word "certified by **** company" on the products anymore. that's why you just can't ignore product reviewers.
Haha, I was just coming to post this myself. Its good we have people looking out for this sort of thing. Stuff like this always pops up in the early phases of new tech or standard roll outs. Remember all the faulty knock off lightning cables for apple stuff when that first launched?
Potentially bad news for those of us with the One+ cables though;
+Rajesh Handa , +Guille Laca, +Jared Valles, +Steven Lefkoff, unfortunately I have bad news about the One+ cables. The One+ cables, despite ostensibly being from a 1st party phone maker, are out of spec. They use an incorrect 3A configuration as well.
I haven't reviewed them on Amazon because they aren't for sale there directly from One+

Yes, this is incredibly annoying. I have recently bought two of them, specifically because I didn't want to buy from some random Amazon seller.
I've just emailed One+'s customer service to get their comment on it, and request a full refund.

Let me know how that goes, I may do the same.
It sucks he has not recommended any chargers or USB-C to USB-C cables. The only cables he has reviewed are USB A to USB-C and it is my understanding that these will not quick charge the device anyhow.
I have started a Google Sheet to track USB Type C cables and accessories. I have also enhanced to include N5X and N6P products. Check it out!

Not to change gears but I topped my 6p off yesterday before first boot up and let it and my htc m8 both drain completely, them plugged 6p to packaged charger and my m8 to a nexus 6 fast charger and a 6-ft micro usb I bought fro at&t and the m8 charged... Much... Faster. Are Google's fast charging claims unfounded or is the N6 charger from Motorola just that fast?
Might repost this in q&a aub, but was wondering how your experience hs been thusfar.

Remember that the M8 has a 2,600 mAh battery and the 6P has a 3,450 mAh battery. The 6P battery is almost 35% larger than the M8, and will require more time to charge. How much charge did the 6P have when the M8 finished charging?

Ditto. I bought 3 and I might keep them for slow charging, like overnight. The price wasn't bad.
That's is a very fair point and good question. If I'm not mistaken between 65-75%. Nothing crazy, but one thing I will say, I play a game that drains the battery very badly, even after I close and even force close the app (love it so much I am willing to live with it) but I drained it all the way back down this morning playing the game and instead of turning it back on and starting the charge from 1% and leaving it on so I can track its progress (after a restart, the game normally doesn't cause any battery drain until I open it again), I left it off to charge, and I came back less than 40 minutes later and the thing was full.. I couldn't believe it so I turned it on and unplugged it and sure enough, 98%. It could be that the game was causing such drain (which is scary because the it never eats battery after a reboot) that it slowed the charging process, but I guess I'll never know for sure.

should we still have to worry about even if we use a basic charger (5v - 2a) to charge our 6P with those generic cables? seems like the google engineer only tested and raised concerned with rapid charging. this might get too far once wireless charging stickers/cases are introduced.

Based on the text in his reviews, it sounds like the risk of damage is to your charger, not your phone. The phone can (obviously) handle a 3A charging speed but a USB A charger most likely cannot.

I was thinking the same thing. I bought 2 sets, just keep them around for data transfer and such as most of my stuff will be attached to google official chargers Type C to Type C. May as well, they are beautiful.

That's all I want to know: can I use these "sketchy" cables with an old Motorola charger that's 5V/1A. I have a bunch of these chargers in various places, and I would just like to have the option to top off. Not to mention my car charger.

Eh I personally wont run the risk of ruining my $500 smartphone by skimping out on $10 for a nicer cable.
Any adapter advice?

Hey everyone! As you all know im always doing reviews on loads of products and have reviewed these cables with the OnePlus 2! Obviously they work perfectly for that as they were built for the OnePlus 2 originally. I did contact them though and they did let me know that as soon as it was brought to there attention they corrected the issue and i actually received the new version of the cable today and i will review it and have the video up tomorrow! For everyone using a OnePlus 2 its nothing to worry about though. The only items that it could affect are things that power at 3A so just keep that in mind before you go throwing out your cables!

HTC ONE M9 - QC2.0 Issues

Hello,
I've just got an M9 and am happy with it. Thought I'd make the most of the quick charge tech so I brought a QC2.0 charger from amazon:
An Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 42W 3 Ports USB Desktop Charging Station [sorry, can't post links yet]
Reading the reviews, and also other threads on here, that people with M9's using QC charge very fast but mine just isn't.
Right now it's taken just oven an hour to charge to full from 49%. Nothing like what other people are saying.
I've contacted the supplier of the charger and they've just sent me another one but it's exactly the same. How should I continue testing? How would I determine if it is the Phone?
The only issue I can potentially identify is that after around 75%-80% the rate of charge seems to drastically drop off.
Any insight would be great !

Are you stock? if not what rom and kernel are you using?
regarding the drop off after 80% thats perfectly normal for QC, it will be quite rapid up until about 80+% then sort of trickle.

Pre - 80% its charging about 1%/minute. Which seems much slower than other people describe.

Did it come with a USB cable, and are you using that one? In order to take full advantage of quick charging, heavier gauge and/or short cables are best. And yes, the closer to 100%, the less difference in charging rate.

Hello,
Yes it came with a cable which was high quality, which I'm also using.
I did have a thought if it was because I was charging it with the phone turn on, but just did a test with it turned off and the results were very similar
Are you using the QC 2.0 port? Because that thing has only one.
I'm always using official chargers, same for my M9..works very well.

Hi, Yes using the correct Orange QC port on this charger.
Perhaps you could share what sort of charging times you're getting with your official charger?
Also worth adding there may be an 'offical' HTC charger but all that should matter is if it's Qualcomm QC2 licence device, which it is and is listed on the Qualcomm website
So I'm back to my original question, how can I tell if its the phone?
It would also be good if anyone with an M9 and QC2 could post their charging times
Thanks

Something else to try would be disabling HTC's car app as it causes issues with charging. Open the car app>go to settings>disable all settings.
Go to phone settings>apps>car>uninstall updates>disable.
I use a Choetech 60W Quick Charge 2.0 for mains, and a Choetech 51W Quick Charge 2.0 Car Charger for the car. The car one is ideal because it has a blue LED for normal power which changes to green when it's using Quick Charge, to give you an indicator it's working.
I get between 1% and 2% charge a minute depending on how hot the battery is and what is running (Viper 4.0.1 ROM - Android M). Usually around an hour and half for a full charge.
Yours doesn't seem excessively slow - make sure you try when your battery isn't hot and when no apps are running in the background. Maybe useful to run the Ampere app to see what the current battery drain is before you start... ideally should be 200ma or less.
Drop off after 80% is normal, ~1% every 2 minutes.

I had the same problem initially with my QC2.0 chargers, finally found out the cables(including the one packaged with the charger) were not up to the task........eventually started getting slow charge warnings.
I use these: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B013DOCZAC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
Haven't had a problem since
QC is only effective up to 80%, after that it will slow down so as not to cook the battery. This isn't just QC2.0, this is all forms of quick charging. Lithium based batteries must be very carefully charged as overcharging will lead to devices exploding. Just ask the hoverboard manufactures. As such the charge speed slows down after about 80% capacity. To further confuse things, a battery does not have a physical capacity like a gas tank or other physical holding device. Things like load, temperature, and age all change the available capacity. Capacity %, much like signal strength bars, is simply an estimation done with unknown calculations by the phone vendors. If you really want to know what's going on with your battery, you have to get an app like GSam Battery Monitor that will show you the current voltage of the battery and the charge/discharge rate in milliamps.
I'm using the same charger and it charges from 5% to 100 in 1hr and 20mins

Pixel doesn't charge at 18W

Source: https://plus.google.com/102612254593917101378/posts/7WS9sXe3k6y?sfc=true.
UPDATE: Google has confirmed the info and changed their website to reflect 15-18W charging.

If you feel this was a major omission by Google, well, I'd say you at least have a reason to return your phone in principle.
Exactly I'm pretty sure Google will receive your phone and refund your money. Then you can find another device with 3W+ more charging than the Pixel.
I don't think they won't accept returns for this because, despite of the severity, the info was wrong.

So What
I was a little surprised to plug my phone into a qc2 charger and see it charging at only 5V and 2A (~10 watts). It still charged quickly enough for me so I'm not complaining but it was interesting.
I think its more of an issue of being aware, especially when looking up recommendations by beson and nathan. Searching for working pd chargers and compatible cables.
5v1A chargers doing 500-900mA 5v2A or 5v2.4A doing 10-12w or 5v3A-9v2A doing 15-18w.
People might say "so what".. Well when your phone didn't last the 7 hours from that 15min charge google claims, you'll know why.. When it takes your phone 2-3hrs to fully charge, instead of 1hr, at least you're informed.
When there are so many products out there that claim fast rapid quick, but aren't compatible, you don't end up wasting $30-40..
Really why pay $1,000 for that premium flagship phone that doesn't bring it, the flag? Claims to Rapid charge, claims to have the best camera, claims to have awesome stabilization. Might as well be a politician..
@jona_12, @thesebastian - Don't get me wrong, I don't want to return the phone. It's still a great phone. I would like the option to increase the charging speed as obviously the hardware can support it and used it until late development.
@jmartin72 - "I'm still a rock star" -Pink
@cntryby429 - I'd have expected 15W (5V/3A). I wonder if it's a limitation of the spec/charger? I've not researched Qualcomm Quick Charge.
Would a kernel dev be able to change this limitation? Maybe there is a change that can be flashed to the phone?
EDIT: XDA Portal news on this subject Google Pixel Charging Speed Limited to 15W, While Pixel XL Can Charge up to 18W

Wireless Charging

Anyone planning on or tried wireless charging yet? I see some decent reviews for the model below on Amazon. Just curious if it will charge quicker than my current phone (Nexus 6)?

I don't have first hand experience, but I see a few problems.
First, the USB C factory charger charges the phone to 70% in 15 minutes. It isn't like previous devices where you would throw it on the QI charger every spare moment because the battery took forever to charge. Second, the voltage output is not device specific and would take longer to charge the phone than using a standard USB C cable/charger.
I guess what I am saying is that yeah, any of the QI compliant stickers would work, but I ask, are they useful? I lived by QI on my Nexus 6, but seeing what type of battery life I get now, coupled with the ridiculously quick charge times, I no longer see the merit.
I don't mean to thread crap, but it took me a while to get over QI when weighing my options to upgrade. I honestly no longer miss wireless charging. I miss my dual facing stereo speaker and my almost 0 bezel from my Nexus 6, but not QI.
I hope this somewhat helps.

Anyone else having PD "Rapid Charge" Issues with Android Pie (9)?

Post Android Pie update I've noticed issues with the PD rapid charging. The original usb-c cable that came with the phone no longer works but I had no issues with the replacements but now occasionally I have to unplug/replug or reboot my phone in order for it to activate the "rapid charge" mode. I've tested this at various battery levels, power supply's and in general it doesn't seem to activate like it used to. My 3rd party Auckley charger was great but now I get more out of the 2.4A USB-A port than the USB-C PD/QC port.
I've heard the rapid charge feature hasn't been working correctly on Pixel's post update and was wondering if the causes were related? I'm hoping Essential responds to my concerns and if the issue is widespread issues a fix.

I suspect some 3rd party stuff is not really PD capable.
3rd Party VS OEM
I accept that some 3rd Party stuff may not be up to the same standards as OEM stuff but they (different USB-C cables) worked before the update and stopped after... If it was a single type/set up I would accept that as the cause but in this case it has happened with several different ones so I'm thinking it's a broader issue.

There is a handshake protocol and maybe there is a more strict adherence to the handshake?
I'm experiencing the same issue. Some PD chargers work; some do not. I just got my PH-1, so I'd never charged it prior to Pie.
Make sure your PD charger can do 9v and 12v for fast charge.

Finally yes I have this issue almost thrice a week dunno what causes it considering to factory reset.
got the same issue I have to plug in and pull out the cable one, two, three times until fast charging works!
Same issue... Using ampere to test and a few cables as well.. same issue.
I have some issue, how to fix it?
i'm going to revive this thread quick. Just got a Aukey PA-D1 (https://www.aukey.com/products/dual-port-30w-pd-wall-charger-with-dynamic-detect) and a matching type c-type c cable from them. plug the phone in and it goes from charging slowly, to rapidly, then drops completely, then restarts that whole sequence over and over. usually a restart will fix it, but its every time i plug it in. has anyone found an answer as to why this does this?
btw, running latest android 9, with june patch....
It happens to me only with power bank that supports PD.
It says charging slowly, normal, rapidly and disconnect.
Tried it with Galaxy s8, Galaxy note 8, lg g6 and it charge them great, without disconnect and with speed charge.
Also tried few cables, original cable and 3rd party who supports PD charge.

i'm going to revive this thread quick. Just got a Aukey PA-D1 (https://www.aukey.com/products/dual-port-30w-pd-wall-charger-with-dynamic-detect) and a matching type c-type c cable from them. plug the phone in and it goes from charging slowly, to rapidly, then drops completely, then restarts that whole sequence over and over. usually a restart will fix it, but its every time i plug it in. has anyone found an answer as to why this does this?
btw, running latest android 9, with june patch....

This has happened to me since I've owned the phone on one of my car chargers I own. It's just that one charger too. Issue has survived one RMA and multiple cables being used. In general I just plug it in and check in couple minutes to make sure it says fast charging and if not, unplug and replug it in.
Who knows if it's the charger's fault or essentials fault. I'm kinda leaning essential because it works just fine on my wife's pixel but the pixel is much more "understanding" in general when it comes to chargers (like it seems to fast charge on qc 3.0 too).
Anyone on Q beta seeing this?
I have been seeing this issue with 3rd party charger for months. I am wondering if anyone who has tried Q beta saw this issue resolved in Q beta.

My understanding is Quick Charge is broken...
So if the wallwart supports QuickCharge in anyway... It's trouble...
It has been that way for me on every iteration and security patch going back to 11/17 or so...
Somewhere... Way deep in the forum covered by ETA requests and useless banter... There's an article linked about how the PH-1 requests too much voltage from QuickCharge and forces it to reset...
This is an issue at the hardware level... And the only workaround is to make sure your charge brick does not support QC at all

Just figured I'd chime in as well. I'm experiencing the "Charging / Charging Slowly / Charging Rapidly" issue with my USB-C Car charger. One a Verizon branded and one an Anker branded. I know the Anker one is a "Q.C." one because it says it right on the device - but with the Q.C. enabled one, I only get "Charging Slowly" on it (so slow in fact, that the battery actually drains on the device). With the Verizon charger, I get the "charging loop".
Q beta 4 resolved this issue for me but it's back on both beta 5 and 6 . I've tried the OEM charger, a Nexus 6p charger, a OnePlus 7 charger and a Samsung Galaxy note 9 charger. They all cycle between charging slowly/ charging/ charging rapidly and not charging.
Has absolutely nothing to do with third party cables not being up to Power Delivery specification (at least in my extensive experience with this God-forsaken no end in sight charge speed bug. I've had absolutely asinine experiences with it myself where I've routinely {more than 25% of the time) had under 1000ma upon fresh plug in with battery below 30%. Also worth noting that I've seen the problem albeit less often pop up with USB a to c cables and ports as well.
