TMobile S8 charging.

Is it just me or the S8 charge slow. I'm coming from a Note 5 and it charges pretty damn quick. Right now I'm at 53% and the phone says approximately 55 minutes till full.

That sounds about right.
Fast charging is great when the phone is at a low percentage, as the percentage increases the charging speed decreases.
Overall charge from 0% should be 1 hour 30 minutes -ish or somewhere in that range.
Test it.

It definitely charges slow, my 8+ included. There's a conversation about it on the Samsung support forum. It's definitely not intended behavior, as it'll still charge slow at low percentages. It never reaches the 2000mA rate that it should.

Based on my testing (I'll verify again tonight with pictures)
Quick charge 2.0/3.0
Screen on - 5v/1A
Screen off 9v/1.67A
USB C cable charging
Screen on 5v/1.5A
Screen off 9v/1.8A
The phones are QC 2.0 which means they're limited to I believe max 18 watts charging rate which would be 9v/2A with the screen off

2.0? Like the s6? Mine charges so much slower than my old s6. Took over 3 hours to charge 50% yesterday, screen off almost the whole time.

Yeah Samsung for some reason did not activate QC 3.0 or even 4.0 on the S8(so stupid but seeing the NOte 7 battery issue, they're probably being cautious)
The S6 only had a 2550mAh battery vs the S8 that has a 3000mAh battery so yeah the S6 is definitely going to charge "faster"
Pick up a USB C multi-meter and see what the charger is outputting to your phone
This is the one I bought (I am not affiliated with them - just showing which one I purchased)

Stock brick and cable. The same thing happens with the brick and charger included in the wireless fast charging, and the wireless fast charger itself.

Both are enabled and while charging it says it's fast charging. It even gives a reasonable charge time like 52 minutes, but even the estimate is off by a lot.

Has anyone found and tried USB-C cables that support high-power 5a and for sale in the USA? https://www.startech.com/ca/Cables/usb-c/usb-c-usb-3-1-cable-power-delivery~USB31C5C1M

Charging speed

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the LG V30 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Honestly I feel like this is not quick charge 3.0 even though the 835 processor and the device supports it. The charger that comes in the box is only 1.8amps output. Compare that to 2.0amps output with my Galaxy S7 charger and even 3.0amps output on my Nexus 6P charger. So it's not really more than the standard 1.5amp output of most cell phone chargers today and less output than other chargers that come with quick charge compatible phones.
Over all it takes around 1 hour and 20 minutes to charge it from 20% to 100% with the charger it comes with. Keep in mind that's if you're not using it while it charges. If you are using the phone while it charges on about 70% brightness, then about double that time to charger from 20% to 80%. I might try with the Nexus 6P 3.0amp charger later to see if it makes any difference.
So right now I give this only a 6 out of 10 for charging. So 3 stars.

Ran my phone down to 3%. Hooked it up to my QC 3.0 charger. Doing a timed 60 minute charge, I unplugged the phone at 82%

To be honest my last phone was a note 5 I just upgraded to v10 an I personally think that it charges just as fast, I put my my old samsumg fast charger to my USB-C an it registers at fast charging, charges while I play mmorpg, so GG I'm happy

I only tried it with a Samsung Galaxy S7 charger, which is
2.0 amp output instead of the stock V30 charger at 1.8amp output. So slightly more output.
It looks like no matter what charger you use above 1.8amp output, then the V30 is still going to only use 1.8amp charging rate. I think the phone is programed to limit it. Which is sad because I do not think it charges quite as fast as my S7 Edge.
When I plug the stock V30 charger with the phone at 5% it gives me a ETA of 1 hour 46 minutes. That seems awfully long time for quick charge 3.0 on a battery that is only 3300mah. It should be about 20-25 minutes LESS than that I think. According to LG it should be faster from their graphic at the release show of the V30. See attachment.
Although its possible a future software update could fix this though. So lets hope. I also might reach out to LG and ask them about this.

Don't have a V30 right no, i've just compared the speed with the one seen on my G6, a 5-10% i have 1:50 for full charge without QC, for V30 you'll have to wait someone else...

quick charge feature is available only with original charger or by using power bank too ?

The Galaxy S7 adapter charges only at 9V/1.67A, for 15W of power.
The LG should come with a 9V/1.8A, for about 16W of power. Also, it may only quick charge with the screen off. It will drop to 5-10W with the screen on.

ummm...you should always check the voltage, not only the amps... (voltage multiplied by current equals power).
the best way to check is by using one of those USB thingies which measure V and A.
I'm pretty sure that v30 comes with qc 3.0 charger, so it definitely is a fast charger for that 3300mAh battery.

If I am not mistaken, the supplied charger is Quick Charge 3.0 compliant. But LG limited the charging to just 9V/1.8A, for total power of 16W.

The estimate on my v30+ at 7% battery is 1 hour and 43 min. In 15 min it charged 11% only.
Definitely slower than the galaxy note 4 I had previously.

The charger mine came with is 3amp and takes 45 min to fully charge

Ok I'm not saying you're bullshittin', but 3A gives 3Ah per 1h, or 3000mAh in one hour and since the V30 has 3300mAh battery, it must take over an hour to fully charge (even if it charges max speed constantly 0-100%), so yeah you're bullshittin'.

Yes! Very good point! What I have found is that it does charge pretty fast with the stock charger when you are NOT using the phone at all. Charges around 45% in 30 minutes from my testing. So pretty good!
However when I'm using my phone it takes about double the length of time. About an hour to get the same 45%. So I did a test to see what the heck was going on.
First I bought an Anker quick charge 3.0 18W adapter. So it is rated 2 watts higher than the stock LG charger. The Anker charger has output ratings of
3.6V-6.5V / 3A, 6.5V-9V / 2A, 9V-12V / 1.5A
I also bought a nice braided JSAUX cable rated up to 3Amps to make sure I am also using a cable that does not restrict the charge flow.
My results are about the same with that charger and cable despite it being rated 2 watts higher than stock LG charger. About 45% in 30 minutes when not using the phone and about 45% in 60 minutes when actively using the phone.
I also used an app to measure the charging current when not using the phone and when using the phone, and you are right. LG is for some reason limiting the Amps to only about 1.2A and 5V when using the phone, but then about 2.4A and 5V when not using the phone. I never saw the voltage go higher than about 5.1V. Assuming the app was accurately measuring the charge.
So I guess LG limits the charge when the phone is in use to keep the battery and phone from over heating while processor and display is working more? If so, it's obvious to me that they limit the charge while the phone is in use a good bit more than my 6P or S7 edge did. Hopefully with the upcoming Oreo update the charging rate is increased a little while the phone is in use.

When I had the phone, I measured with a USB meter. I was using a charger that's similar to your Anker, up to 18W.
With the phone or screen off, it charges at 9V/1.8A.
With the screen on, it charges at 5V/2A for 10W. But depending on what you're using the phone, eg. Watching videos or playing games, and your screen brightness, the effective charge is likely lower than 10W.
Since then, I've always developed the habit of not using my phone while charging.

2 Hour With Stock Charger

I didn't completely check the ratings and time but stock charger DOES NOT fast charge this phone. as the Stock Charger isnt QC2.0 Supported. However this mobile does support QC2.0 but you'll have to test QC2.0 Charger 1st. Not all QC2.0 Chargers work on this mobile. Its a little picky. So go to a shop check QC2.0 Chargers on your mobile. when you get circle Sign on notification bar along side battery then it means that device is fast charging. if not then there will be no circle around the charging sign (Flash sign)
also idt this mobile supports QC3.0 but i dont have tools to check amps volts of charger.
Lenovo's original QC3.0 charger doesnt work on this phone. I've tested. but Motorola's QC3.0 Charger works fine.

my rn5 pro , takes apporx 3 hours to charge completely!

So far I'm a bit slow, a little bit more than 3 hours to completely charge the phone. Might have something to do with the cable.
My current charging setup:
- ANKER 5 port 40W
- a docomo USB cable
Planning to buy a proper 20AWG usb cable and a QC2.0 adapter.

I just bought a Letv charger which supported qc3.0 for about 4$ on taobao

I'm currently on the 9.5.11 build and it takes about 4-5 hours to completely charge the device using stock charger, And it took about 2-3 hours while on 9.2 build.
I wonder if the Mi QC 3.0 based charger would improve the situation for us?

Slow charge is a known bug in 9.5.11 build. Wait for an update or change ROM

13,2W for me

I recieved 9.2.13 update yesterday and have been noticing significant boost to charging speeds since then...yet to fully charge from 0 so can't comment on total time but as per Ampere, charging speeds are in range of 1500 to 1700 mah

1000 mA max with 5v 2amp and Work Normal Speed with Stock Charger
Approximately 2 hour for charge phone

I use the app Ampere (free in Playstore) to measure power input and with a normal charger (non QC) it shows up to 1600 mAh charging amount and from almost 0 to 100% it is taking 2,5 hours. One question: is there a way to tell if QuickCharge is active?

@Kusie
Look on your"s phone status bar. With normal charging there is thunder icon next to the battery. With QC active, thunder in in circle as far as I remember. Info about active QC should be also displayed in the bottom of your lockscreen
Sent from my flo using XDA Labs

Using my usb inline meter, i'm getting ~6.5v and ~2.2A, with a Tronsmart usb cable and QC 3.0 Truro charger, screen off and about 44% remaining on battery. Will try when the battery is lower some other time.

takes around 2hours to charge 100% using stock charger..

I have no idea why would you do that... But read reviews, no matter what kind of charger you use, this phone only supports qc 2.0 version. From 0 to 100, in 1 hour, you only get like 55%, and in the end it slows down even more, so yes, impossible to fully charge in 1.5h, TECHNICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. You are either lying, or mixed times and got confused. Judging by technical parameters, the best this phone can do should be around 2hours from 0 to 100.

I just posted above that I was able to get QC 3.0 charging rates. Approximately 2.2A (fluctuates +/- 0.1A) and 6.6v (fluctuates +/- 0.2v) using a QC 3.0 charger and Tronsmart cable. Measured using an inline meter, not software.

From mathematical standpoint 30 mins for 0-100% is impossible with 18W charger, let me make it a bit clear
It has a 3.800mAh battery or 3.8Ah for short, which means if it had a 5v 3.8A charger it would take 1 hour if the charger and delivery system(cable+chips inside phone etc) were delivering 100% efficiency. Now 5v 3.8A is 19W charger. For half an hour we need 5v 7.6A or 38Watt.
According to Quick charge which is present in this phone it can be charged at 9v 2A or 18W, so even if the phone has 100% efficiency it would take a bit more than 1 hour to complete 0-100% but because each system can't deliver 100% efficiency calculate to 1hr and 1-20 mins give or take
P.S. half an hour, wish but ain't possible unless we have 9v 4.2A charging with 100% efficiency(or 5v 7.6A if you prefer) - Still going to get this phone soon(if price drops to my desire)

Just charged 25% to 100% took around 1 hour

I have here the test i made 100% to 11% took 6h34m SOT, charging from 11% to 49% took 25 minutes from 11% to 82% took 59 minutes, from 11% to 98% took 1h36m.

Yes OnePlus 3T, 5T does not work.
Also I was charging N7+ from 18% via LG V20's Charger and it got overheated and started malfunctioning. But thankfully there was a circuit breaker and protection circuit in LG's Charger which saved it. Device is working fine too. Now I am using the nokia charger provided in the box as none are working.

So that means if something happens to the current charger provided with the phone, we will have to buy a Nokia branded charger and cable or there would be issues. Hmm

I also meet this using oem cable. With nokia original cable is no issue.

I just got this device Thursday not a Dual SIM device
It charges fully in about 1hr and 30mins of charging adds quite a bit of power to the battery
if we use a PC it takes ages

is it safe to use fast charge daily?

Can we charge the device by a standard charger having 5v 1 amp rating with the USB type c cable plugged into it?

Yes, i use mine from a tablet at 5v and 1.5A. You can use any charger if it is 5v or if it is turbopower o fastcharge.

I also use my old LG's charger. 5v @1.8A. Im not really that into charging speed. One thing i noticed is that on both chargers when reaching 100% it says charged but still charges for another 15minutes before the charging icon (flash) disappears from the screen. Has anyone else noticed this?

Mobile takes more time to charge?

My device is taking more time to get full charge. Is anyone experiencing the same.is there any way to improve the charging

My device is taking around 3 hrs to charge fully which is quite normal as given it has 5000 mAh battery and no fast charging. Only way to improve could be to switch off and then charge or not use phone while charging. Disabling cellular data and WiFi may also help.

Does it show "Charging Rapidly" state on the lock screen?
On my Anker triple ports QC2.0 charger, 2 of the normal ports 5V2.4A are able to "induce" my M2 phone to go into "Charging Rapidly" state. It only happens after plugging in for a few mins; if plug into the QC2.0 5V2A port it doesn't display "Charging Rapidly", just shows the normal "charging". Another of my QC3.0 charger 5V3A is also able to do this while other chargers I tried from 1.8A-2A range can't get this "Charging Rapidly" state. Is it possible that the M2 only support "fast charging" on 2.1A and above chargers?

No... Actually the speed of charging also depends on the current... If you current is 2A, then it automatically shows charging rapidly...
If you use any other charger with a lower ampere rating, then the phone will automatically detect that the current is low and it is charging slower...

Its just a suggestion... Dont use the S5 charger even if it charges faster... It voltage is 5.3v ... Voltage should always be 5v ... It will destroy your battery in the long term...

Can we use Oneplus 6 adapter of 5V 4A to charge the phone?

Yes ... You can... But your phone will probably heat up a lot.... And long exposure to higher temperatures might slowly degrade your battery...
Only use this charger in emergency cases...

Why do you say it will heat up a lot? Phones nowadays should have protection circuit to limit current, right? For my M2 I don't see any difference in using 5V2A or 5V3A adapter.

I might be wrong... Of course they have protection circuits ... I have another phone Galaxy E5. It also should have a protection circuit or whatever...
Its charger is rated 5V 1.55A... But when I use a 5V 2A charger, the phone starts heating up...
Though it happens only while charge is less than 100...
Upon reaching 100% it cools down...

use a custom kernel

Yes XDA I experienced this problem
My pro m2 takes 6 hours to full charge what the ****

My device is taking around 3 hrs to charge fully which is quite normal as given it has 5000 mAh battery and no fast charging. Only way to improve could be to switch off and then charge or not use phone while charging. Disabling cellular data and WiFi may also help.

Mine is taking near about 4+ hours to charge fully
