Hey all,
A few days ago I've bought a secondhand nexus 6p. Overall I'm quite happy with the device, but I think I'm experiencing some charging issues.
The max USB current in Ampere never gets over 1800 mAH (while my mom's nexus 5x shows max USB current 3000 mAH with my charger) Also, I've never seen it charging with higher power then around 1400-1500 mAH.
I've tried my mom's nexus 5x charger, but I'm getting the same results. My phone actually charges faster with a regular 2 amp charger with a regular USB cable to USB c..
Also, while I'm doing nothing but having the ampere app open it discharges with - 1100 mAH. Is that normal?
Here are some screenshots:

What are your thoughts?
By the way: eve when the battery is down to 22% it doesn't charge faster..
Are you using the stock 6p charger and cable?
In my experience, Ampere does not work properly with the Nexus 6P. For me, it always shows Max USB curr 1800 mA and current in the 2100 mA range when using USB-C, even though I can see on my Kill A Watt that it is drawing 13 watts or more.
regardless of what the apps say, how long does it actually take (elapsed time) to charge your phone?

Hi everyone I just have a quick question
Right now I'm overseas and the power voltage of this country is 220 v .
I forgot to purchase a wall adapter to charge my phone but luckily my cousins here all have note 3 's
Is it safe if I just plug my usb (that came with the phone) onto their wall chargers/aftermarket wall chargers ?
Here is a picture of my setup

This is very basic. You should always check the charger or any appliances if it has/supports 110V-240V input. Be vigilant.
All chargers have 110V-240V input range, and any usb charger can charge the phone. Check the output amps of the charger, if its lower than the stock charger then it will charge slowly, if its higher than the stock charger then it would charge fast but could damage the battery life as well. Otherwise any USB charger will works fine just after market cheap one may does short-circuit or over heat issues.
Thanks everyone
Greetings,
I have a couple of questions about my wireless charger. Sometimes, when I remove the phone after charging the green LED on the charger stays on. Other times it goes off. When it stays on, the charger stays a bit warm. I am not sure exactly how warm but noticeable. Also, if I leave the phone on the charger after charging is complete, the battery on the phone stays at about 30C measured through Ampere. Is that normal or a bit warm. Thanks for any insight on this.

I just got the fast wireless charger myself. As well as the S7E (G935T). The last time I played with wireless charging it was a DIY mod to my Galaxy S3 using parts from a palm (treo?) but the charging was slow so it was a fun project but not nearly as functional.
I got the newer ##930## model wireless charger from Samsung, and I notice the phone get warmer vs the wired plug.
I wonder if using the wireless all the time would reduce the battery life of the phone? I'm guessing yes

Here's the wireless charger I use. It works through my ZizoBilt case ( similar to an Otterbox defender ). It charges about the same as a wired NON rapid charger. It definitely keeps up playing a video with the screen on max brightness.

I had the s6 edge and upgraded to the s8 .
I think the fast charging was much faster in the s6 edge. I use primarily the fast wireless charger.
I used to get about 50 % in 20 - 25 mins charge but with the s8 it seems much slower ...
maybe it because of the note 7 bursting into flames .
also there's a big difference between wireless and normal ...

The S6 edge has a smaller 2600mah battery.
Therefore it charges faster.
....?

that still doesn't explain why the big differences between wireless and wired charging

Wireless charging has been, is, and will be slower than wired charging at all times. Wireless charging is inductive charging, you lose energy in the process.
The wireless charger uses the wired brick that wired charging uses, so of course it's going to be slower.
ok I always thought it was almost equal ...
thanks for the info
So, I had to change my original Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime charger 'cause I lost it, and I went for AUKEY quick charger -> https://www.amazon.it/AUKEY-Caricabatterie-Caricatore-Samsung-iPhone/dp/B01AHYR04M, tempted by the possibility of charging my phone in less than the usual 2 hours.
However, I'm realizing now I probably did a bad move, since I'm reading many posts about how using a quick charger can reduce your battery life on the long run, some state they've used quick charge from the beginning (I mean right after they bought their phone) and they had to change battery or phone after one year and half more or less, not even able to reach more than 2 years, whereas some other claim they've always used a normal charger and their battery is as still good as the "old" times.
I'm thinking about sending the charger back and take a normal one, what's your opinion about it? Should I go for a charger with 2.0A in output?
R4P doesn't have Quick Charge compatibility in any case. It'd probably overheat like crazy even if it did.
Sure it has...

... see that circle around the thunderbolt icon? That means fast charging, when I charge the phone with a non quick charger, it only appears the thunderbolt. And it's also stated in the block screen, "Fast charging".
I stumbled across the "Charger"-Area in the Oneplus Logkit and was wondering why the battery voltage is that high. Max Voltage for Li ion battery is 4.2 isnt it?

I believe that's charger, not battery. All USB (generally) is 5v. IPhones charge at 5v 2amps, our phone charges at 5v 6amps (5x6=30w warp charge) . The fact it's 5v is a good thing. The battery will still top out at 4.2ish. See my image. I'm at 66% and voltage is around 4v. Will be 4.2ish when charged

Old thread but since i stumbled upon this...
Oneplus uses higher voltage cells (LiHv) that max out at ~4.45v
Li-ion batteries are capped at 4.2 like 18650 ones. Li-poly batteries go higher
