Fast (2A) charger: anyone tried on N4? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, It someone used on N4? I'm looking one of samsung, is written 0,5/2A. It will reduce the time of charge? It will disintegrate the battery? Thanks in advice.

It will do neither of those (Well, maybe the battery will charge a liiiittle bit faster). The charging circuit will pull only a certain amount of current, most likely around 1.2 amps, no matter how much power the charger can supply.

The phone's charging circuit (load) won't draw any more current than it does from the stock charger, no matter how much current is available.

^ this. However, if the voltage is higher (>5V, if I remember correctly), you'll want to avoid using the charger.

Ok so is useless that "fast charger". I thinks that 2A in 1 hours delivers 2000mha so have to complete charge in just 1hours and something (to arrive to 2100mha)

Even if our devices were truly capable of accepting an input of 2A, the charge isn't linear; i.e. the charge rate isn't constant. Take a look at this thread to see what I mean! It's a good read for everyone.
Your battery gauge is lying to you (and it's not such a bad thing)

I use the charger that came with my HP Touchpad, which is a higher rate charger than the stock Nexus 4. It does make the phone charge faster, but it also heats it up. I don't use it as my full time charger, but its nice for a faster top up.

Improved Charging Time

Recently,i have tried charging off my Nexus 4 using the ipad charger as the original charger was not readily available.
I have observed the phone charging time has decreased considerably.
Checking for the technical reasons,ipad Charger serves 2.1A at 5V vs 1.2A at 5V by default charger.
My question how does this impact my battery on Long run?

Fast-charging a battery negatively affects battery longevity somewhat. Ideally, if you want to preserve your battery, you'd charge it at the slowest rate possible (i.e., USB port at .5 A).
Given that the Nexus 4 has an improved battery that lasts 800 full cycles as opposed to the industry standard of 500 full cycles, I may not worry too much about it. It is more likely that you'll change your phone first.

Your battery isn't going to "die" per se. It just means that after 800 full charge cycles, the battery will hold less than the original capacity, typically about 80-90%, then 70%, and so on.
I think the higher voltage charger creates more heat which in turn will degrade batteries or electronics in general, making them not last as long. But who really cares anyway because a battery shouldn't be that hard to change out anyways.

Download "Galaxy Charging Current" from the play store and check how many amps you're receiving. You should be getting more than 800ma for your phone to charge properly.

The battery isn't swelling. It lasts like 8 hours if no data use. So i think its not because of faulty batts.
Are you using the original S4 USB cable? you need a very good usb cable in order to change with high ma, it should be about 1500ma if you are using a good usb cable (with the original charger)

Depends on the firmware/kernel. Newer (stock) firmwares (>MGA) limit the charging at 1200mAh while the screen is on and 1900mAh with the screen off.
Custom kernels can charge at 1900mAh with the screen on.

Some cables are unable to generate more than 600ma. If it is the original Samsung charger, change the cable. If it is the original cable, get a 2A charger. If it's both, chances are, its the cable. Good luck.

First day i was testing different wall chargers (Samsung stock and non Samsung) with different cables combinations using a current widget. Results: original white Samsung data cable still in the box (bad impedance causing low current) and using stock wall charger with a generic data cable better than original.

The limit is the same (1900 with original wall charger and good data cable), the 700 mA difference is because screen consumption plus non idle cpu state... It is, 1900 always enter in the device, 1900 enter in the battery if no consumption (screen off), about 1200 enter in the battery if screen and cpu consumption (on).

You don't say, really? :good:
Older firmwares let the phone charge at 1900 with screen on or with screen off. More recent firmwares limit the charge to 1200 when the screen is on.
With a custom kernel this can be changed back to the original 1900, with the screen on. What is so hard to understand about that? No need to go into science again, I do understand all that irrelevant stuff anyway.

Okay, that makes sense! We better get an option to turn it off then.
I noticed the Axon charging current drops off somewhere above 90-95% capacity. Using the app Ampere and with the Axon's included QC3.0 charger, the phone will charge at a current of ~3A when the battery is below ~80-90%, and then when the charge capacity is above that, the charge current drops to around 0.3A for a slower charge up to full capacity. The charge current may even drop lower but I haven't observed Ampere like a hawk when charging.
I'm curious what's causing that smart charge current drop: the phone or the in box QC3.0 charger. If it's the phone, then using an older charger with a max output of 2-2.5A may be ideal for battery longevity. If the Axon battery is truly 3250mAh, then with a preferred C-rate of say 0.7C (I've seen recommended C-rates from 0.5C to 0.8C), we get 2275mA as the ideal constant charge current. If the phone also drops the charge current of this older charger when capacity is nearing full then it would certainly be better than using the QC3.0 charger.
However, if all of this fluctuating charge current is controlled by the QC3.0 charger itself, then it might be the better charger option versus one with a lower rated current output. The OP on this thread should test both out with Ampere and share the results.
Some good reading:

Quick charge rates are designed around the capability of the battery. I have extensive experience with system design around rechargeable cells of all major chemistries, and the large batteries currently used in phones can be charged at much higher rates simply because there is more surface area (more mAh) that in older phones. Quick Charge will never charge at a rate unsafe for your battery. Your battery is more likely to fail from simply age or damage due to a drop as opposed to quick charging.
The bigger the battery, the higher the acceptable charging current. At over 3000 mAh, the Axon 7 battery can safely be charged at a very high current.

Absolutely correct, like my previous post, but not an answer to the question asked. I agree that since the capacity is high at 3250mAh, a constant C-rate of 1.0C (up to 3250mA charge current) is safe. However the question is not about safety, but longevity of performance.
Lowering the charging C-rate to 0.5-0.8C could potentially mean the difference of good battery capacity performance for 1 year versus 1.5-2 years.
With Ampere I've observed the charge current on the Axon with QC3.0 charger as high as 3200mAh. At 1C, that's perfectly safe, but less than ideal for battery longevity. We're simply looking for an alternative at a lower C-rate of 0.5-0.8C.

Explained In short and ELI5.
If you charge ~300( charge cycles) times with the QC3 you will lose ~10% battery capacity.
10% off 3250mah is 325mah.
So roughly (depending on usage) after a year you will lose 325mah from your battery.
If you charge slow it is prolonged.

Absolutely correct, the phone doesn't have FAST/QUICK charger technology...
However a higher ampere charger like 2A could still charge a phone faster, hence my query above
Are you sure it takes 90 minutes to fully charge with stock 1A charger as mathematically it's not possible
3000mAH/1000mA=3 hours
Or
3000mAH/1.5H=2000mA or 2A
Pehaps you are using a higher capacity charger? That would explain it...

We can put a 10 A capability charger at our device, but charge control circuit is doing his job and let device charging with 1 A max, even if is there 10 A disposable....
Maybe with some command in hidden menu or with some customized firmware is a way to override this limitation.
(At LG 4X HD is in hidden menu a command that enable fast charging).

The P9 Lite doesnt support any sort of fast charging. The ability of a phone to charge faster depends on it's hardware and the use of a fast charger. However, with a 2A charger, it slightly decreases charging time since the phone pulls approximately 1050mA. Be careful not to use a charger thats higher than 5V as it will fry your circuitry.

Where did you get this 1050mA spec, did u measure it yourself? This could be true as well, as fast charging is not observed by anyone until now except few online sources which state otherwise...
The part about damaging phone is inaccurate as QC 2.0 or 3.0 chargers are reverse compatible with old devices which support 5V only, the phone and charger never switch to 9V/12V/20V mode as the technology isn't there...

I did measure it myself with the aid of a friend. By the way, I was referring to a standard 9V/12V charger, not the QC charger.
According to my knowledge, the voltage is like a gateway to your phone, your phone pulls the current. Hence, if you use a standard charger with higher than 5V, you'll most definitely burn your circuitry. BUT....if you use a 5V charger with an abnormally high amperage, the phone will only pull the current it needs.

This means that for a phone to be able to pull 2A, is not just software control?
It means that the hardware has to support the ability?

I believe that is true. Although, most fast chargers (like the samsung one) only supply 1.67A at a higher voltage, normally 9V. This combination increases the output wattage of the charger....Like i said on my earlier post, the voltage is the gateway to the phone while the phone pulls the amperage.

Quick charger

Evening all,

It doesn't, as far as I read in all the reviews (my pro in on its way as well). The worse is that i couldn't find any compatible charger with the pump express mediatek technology. In any case, again from the reviews, it appears that the charger the ships with the phone manages to charge it in a reasonable couple of hours

Mine came with a charger labelled "Xiaomi MDY-08-EF" which is allegedly a "high-speed charger" according to http://en.miui.com/thread-105602-1-1.html . Using an external USB power meter it registers up to around 1.8A at 5V while charging, dropping down to lower amps as the phone gets full. The Ampere app doesn't measure current correctly on this phone (last time I tried it anyway) so you can't check it that way.
Thanks I shall wait and see, did see an anker USB cable quick charger on amazon so maybe that's worth a look https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01CJ9OEZG/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_nxxpybGEQ7S20

It definitely doesn't fast-charge with Quick Charge chargers, I have two different ones and they don't work (just charge at regular speed).
That's for the snapdragon quick charge standard, the mediatek has its own technology called pump express. That's why the quick charge one won't work except as a "normal" charger
