Does Mi A1 support fast charging??? - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

I think Mi A1 does not support fast charging. Even though the SoC in Mi A1 (SD625) supports fast charging, xiaomi has disabled it for some reason. (i think it's due to some issues regarding licensing fee to Qualcomm for the charging circuit). But the description in xda page suggests that it support fast charging. Can someone clarify this???

Out of the box it charges at 2A which is equivalent to Qualcomm's Fast Charging 1.0 back in 2013/2014.
A custom ROM might enable faster charging in the future but we'll have to wait and see

I have tried with quick charge 3.0 charger and usb-c cable out of the box and have not found any noticeable improvement of charging speeds

Mi A1 doesn't support fast charging.

Even for the first 80%, no increase in charging speed?

how did u monitor the changes? using ampere?

I bought MI A1 yesterday.. to my surprise it does fast charging. my Note 8 charging speed is 1050 t0 1100 maximum which is fast charge 2.0.. i am using the ac adapter which MI provided in the box..

The thing with Samsung phones is it will only fast charge at 15W with the screen off. With the screen on, the charging drops to 5V/1A. So when you use Ampere, the screen is on, so it will not charge fast.
Always-on Display also affects charging rates as well. I get faster charging with the screen completely off.

5v/2a is the Qualcomm first version (1.0) of fast charging, if you guys insist. Yes it does support (old version). Traditional charging 5v/1a will take about 3-4 hours from flat to full.

Mi A1 does not support qualcomm Quick Charging. And even the power adapter we get does not support QC.

I bought mine in Hong Kong directly in a Xiaomi "Mi" retail store.
On my question whether the Mi A1 support fast charging or not: "To keep the phone's cost low Xiaomi decided to not license the quick charge." Licensing for getting it from Qualcomm / paying for the standardization? Sounds weird to me...
Or does Qualcomm now charges it's customers with an additional quick charge fee for parametrizing it to "quick charge ON"?:cyclops:

It doesn't support or say fast charging but it doesn't take much time to charge the device.
And because of stock android the battery life is also good.
It just took 1hr to reach 75% from 15%

60 mins to charge 60% is actually pretty good.

Yes it does
I bought this handset couple of weeks back (a proud owner I must say). Although most forums claim that Mi A1 doesn't support fast charging, I tested and found it takes only about 45 mins for a complete charge from 10% to 100%. I don't know if this is the case with all Mi A1 owners but I certainly found the fast charging feature still exists on my device. :good:

BS. this phone does not support quick charge and it does not go from 10% to 100% in 45 minutes. I have multiple anker qc chargers 2.0 and 3.0 and it DOES NOT support quick charge. This phone takes 2 hours to go from 0 to 100%

Z3C Battery Charging Thread

Hiya,
I' hoping this is the right section to post this in.
I don't have my Z3C yet, but I've been searching for information on charging speed, charging current etc. - and there is barely anything to be found. What seems to be consent: A full charge (0-100%) takes about three hours. But then, some people say an almost full charge (0-90%) takes much less, as charging current is greatly reduced for the last 10% to reduce stress on the battery. Sony itself also claims that a small charge (something like 0-10%) should be quite fast as well.
Then there's some speculation about QuickCharge 2.0 being used or not used, that you could use a Motorola 2.0A charger to charge it faster than with the provided 1.5A Sony charger etc., which also brings up the question which resistor values on the D+ and D- wires are necessary to toggle different charging currents. (Or I might be stupid and there's a standard for that by now, which is the same for all Qualcomm devices.)
To cut it short: I'd request those who have a Z3C to post some comments about their charging times, and at best even their charging currents. I used an app called BatteryMonitor on my Desire HD, I'm sure there's others around now that give the same information. If someone could try out different chargers and record charging current over time, maybe even with a pretty graph, it'd surely help all future discussions about chargers, docks, modifications, DIY charging issues etc.
[EDIT] I've created a similar thread over at the Z3 forums, as many things (such as resistor values and charging tactics) should be similar.
With the 1.5A charger it's almost the same speed as other flagships: about 1% per minute or so.
For quick charge, Qualcomm explains it here: https://www.qualcomm.com/news/snapdragon/2014/06/04/quick-charge-20-has-arrived
Because it's more difficult for me to get the Moto Turbo Charger from where I live, I ordered another quick charger on the list and will see how it works.
Hope I will have time to report soon.

Sorry for the delay. It's obvious that QC 2.0 works only when battery is really low. Not sure it's Sony's control thru hardware, or kernel, or charger's control.

So called fast wireless charging

So, i buy the Huawei expensive wireless charger, £60 UKP, very expensive
Sit the phone on it, 2 hrs 10, well that's feeble
Unplug it, use same cable it used but in phone, 1 hr 43.
Riiiight. What a waste of money

Did you make sure you have wireless fast charging turned on??

Really Samsung could have done better with charging

Agreed. It's been the same for 4-5 years.
I have original samsung fast wireless charger. and it wont fast charge anymore since last big update, takes near 3 hours for full charge :/ (fast wireless charge is toggled on in settings)
i suggest you monitor the power during wireless charging. it won't hit 15W from the start. and probably when it's near full charge, not sure how near, it won't hit 15W too.
i hv a usb device with an oled screen that will show the power, btw
and make sure your wireless charger is connected to the correct adapter. make sure the usb c cable is rated to support high wattage too.

If you wanted a phone for fast charging you should have gone with the OP6T. Wireless charging will never (maybe in the future, there is a possibility) be as fast as cable charging. Also, I would recommend for wireless charging to use the samsung products, other charges or other cables from other companies can have an effect on your battery. Huawei does not make chargers for Samsung phone, so they do not take into account the specs and how the battery voltages are.
Yes, the charger is compatible, but not build for that reason, the same as Airpods are not build for Samsung and Galaxy buds are not build for iPhone.
This is just my opinion, there is no reason to create a post to complaint about this, but what the heck we are entitled to say anything, just keep that in mind.
It's a forum, we can say what we want within the rules .
There is a lint, and a big point, may stop someone else wasting their money and that's a perfectly good reason to share
Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
the point of wireless charging is so that right before you sleep, with lights turned off, all you need to do is rest your phone on it.
you probably would sleep 8 hours, dare i say slow charging would have been better for this.
in office, if you are often not at your desk, sit on the desk 15min then went off somewhere for a moment, probably faster/turbo/super wireless charging would have helped.
if you are a field engineer, probably wired power bank will help.

1: peak power is only delivered between 40-80% or whenever the voltage is judged healthy
2: wireless chargers throttle themselves for temperature management
3: you'll only achieve better results with compatible chargers from the same vendor
4: wireless charging is impractical for most people, inefficient and all but "wireless"
Buy a nice thick Anker USB C 3.1 gen 2 cable and stop worrying about gimmicks, I get close to 3amp on screen off and that's connected to my motherboard, the benefits of the fastest power and data delivery at the same time.
Soooo, i dont have the setting for fast wireless charge. Wonder why not.

Sure it is, I never said you were not supposed to post, the same as my post where I also indicate, that it is better to go for products develop by the manufacturer of the phone. One saving you the cost of damaging your phone. 2. Saving you the cost to then after buying something from another company wasting double because you need to buy the appropriate charger or cable to your phone.

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 Realme 5 Pro can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Charged my phone from 30% to 100% within 40 minutes. Although I'm using a different adapter here in Europe than the one provided in the AliExpress bundle.
it charges quite fast, 50 to 100 take around 30-40 min, 0 to 90 only around 50 to 60 min, then it will slow down from 91 to 100 around 15 min.
the downside is you need vooc fast charger to charge fast, other fast charger is only charge normally
VOOC 3.0 really mean something. My last device redmi note 5 pro 4000mAh with qc 2 need more than 1 hour to recharge from 20-80%.
realme 5 pro with little bigger 4035mAh battery charge in only 30 minutes. Now that's innovation. Plus i still could using it for social media or streaming videos while charge it. No noticeable heat compared to my whyred with qc 2 while charging.
Love this VOOC technology.
The build quality also very nice, power adaptor and usb c cable was solid. Worth every penny..
vooc 3 is good. full charge in 1.25 hours
I've searched about snapdragon 712, and I saw it supports quick charge 4+ which is can charge up to 27w. Does this mean realme 5 pro supports 27watts charging because it's powered by snapdragon 712?
My 5 Pro do not quick charge OOB?!
I have try with my own QCC charger but charge it slowly and give it a try with a Realme phone box charger.
All was the same.
From 28% to 98% charge it about 2.5H !!!???
Any advice?
VOOC 3.0 is doing its job!
I am using this device for a while now. Charging with the inbox 20W(5V, 4A) adaptor and cable.
Plugged-in at 13%
43% in 31mins
67% in 46mins (Sufficient for a day for a moderate user like me)
77% in 79mins
100% in 96mins
PS: Couldn't post SS due to spam policies of XDA. I was not using the device while charging. Wifi and only a single sim were activated while charging the device.
Got an update a couple days back to realme ui and it seems that the charging speed is a bit better than previous color os, ve tried two attempts and it was a solid result, just an hour I got around 95 percent battery from 1 percent plug in, both attempts fills my realme 5 pro to 100 percent just under 1hour 10minutes.
Nb: attachment shows my latest charging result.

Which application is this????
Dear realme users,
I have got some difficulties to find a VOOC charger for my realme 5 pro.
Knowing "compatible chargers" issues, but not so compatible (slower or bad DATA cable), I wish know if you have some refernces to share.
I frind only compatible OnePlus chargers but it seems to be some differences between DashCharge and VoocCharge.
Official Vooc charger has following specifications :
Ref : AK779GB LiteOn, 100-240V et 5V-4A
Unfortunately, neither realme shop, neither Oppo shop sell this reference....
Thanks lot for your help.

Battery life/efficiency is already quite good, so charging speed might not be a concern for most people.
Still, it would be nice if Google offered higher charging speeds, and added battery protection features to the phone.
Anyone have projected full time to charge from 0-100% or what 50-100% would look like? I think around 50%, shows 1hr and 40mins I believe.
Yeah about an hour from 50%-100%
But most of my usb c cables aren't working (properly).
When connected some say charging slowly and takes a full day and some don't even work while I could use those to charge very fast with other phones.
Anyone have these problems also?

Mine is lighting quick. I can go from 15% to 100% in just over an hour with my included charger
It charges a little bit faster than my Pixel 2 XL did with a 16% bigger battery so pretty good.
59% to full projected at 4hr on my standard Seneo wireless charging stand
55 minutes plugged into the Pixel USB charger
I think the charging speed it's quicker than my Pixel 4 XL. My Pixel 5 charges at about 1 hour and 15 minutes from 20% to 100%. Pixel 4 XL needs about 1 hour and 40 minutes with smaller battery capacity. I suppose Pixel 5 charging speeds is about 20 to 22Watts.
It's 18 W, for sure.
I'm using an Anker Nano III charger and an Anker braided type c to type c and Ampere shows it charging at 3.8A when it is rapid charging so that's 19W.
Personally i wish Google would add a 1A (or less) overnight charging option, i would find that much more useful than the rapid charge to be honest.

No point, it still rapid charges up to 80% still and just slows the last 20% down which to be honest it what it does anyway albeit the last 20% is a little faster and you don't need to have an alarm set. The adaptive charging option seems like the most pointless method of charging ever implemented to be honest.

To be honest the battery life is that good on the Pixel 5 it is the first phone in 10 years that i have not had to charge overnight, i generally top it up while i am settling down and unplug it before i nod off to sleep and it is always still at 100% or 99% the next morning. There is nearly always well over 50% left before i do the same again the following evening.
I just think for a lot of people a setting for a slow trickle charge would be just as beneficial as the default rapid charging.

First one in 10years? Then you had some phones with bad battery life haha.. The pixel 5 battery is alright. i've had better
I agree with some above, the pixel 5 lasts me all day so I don't even use the supplied fast charger. I actually use a apple USB plug and it charges very slowly over night for me with adaptive charge so helps to preserve battery life even more. Still amazed how incredible the battery life is on the Pixel 5.

Yup, you seem to forget some early Android phones had batteies as small as 1000mAh and if you enabled Wi-Fi or god forbid mobile data the battery was flat in 10 minutes, not a cat in hells chance of reaching 12 hours let alone a day. Moving forwards my previous 3 phones the OnePlus 7t, Nokia 8.1 and Nokia 8 could not come anywhere near the Pixel 5 for battery longevity unless you made compromises to your usage. Last week i rattled though 30GB of data doing 5G speed tests on the Pixel 5 and i still had 60 odd % left at the end of the day.

Superfast Charging 2.0 adapter. Alternative to the Official one

Afternoon you lovely lot!.
Just sharing a decent little find nestled amongst all the Amazon prime day tat, that's flying around.
If anyone's looking for an alternative to the official Sammy 45w superfast charger, i grabbed this one yesterday and got it today.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08FX1N2ZH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
there's an £8 voucher on the item as well so all in, this is £28 . have tested it on my 5g S7+ and it does 100% support 45w+ PPS power delivery and displays "super fast charging 2.0" on the notification bar.
Though it might be a good find for someone with all the varying standards flying around at the moment. (plus has 2x usb c and 1x usb a)
Any questions, just let me know.
Cheers all!
Thankyou for the info. Ordered ?
Just ordered one of these to boost my Tab S7 or S20 Ultra when needed.
I am curious how fast it charges? I have the 25W samsung from my Note 10 plus. It's also displays super fast charging and charges the s7+ quite quickly.
This charger shows Super fast charging 2.0,
Twice as fast than the 15w charger.
30 minutes gets my S20 ultra from 0->88%, it then slows to protect the battery.

I am curious how fast it charges? I have the 25W samsung from my Note 10 plus. It's also displays super fast charging and charges the s7+ quite quickly.

Good as it gets; any faster is going to degrade the battery lifespan more rapidly. With the 25 watt brick it knocks some of the lifespan off even you practice conservative charging cycles.
Just replaced my 1.5 yo Note 10+ battery. It was swollen and pressing on the display.
I was lucky that it didn't damage the display.
With a battery failure there's more to lose than just the battery. Higher temperatures and charge rates increase the risk of a problematic failure

It happened suddenly after a 100% charge one night. After which fast charging became erratic.
It was well over a month later that the swelling was spotted as it lives in it's case.
These bag batteries are scary fragile
Take one apart to see what I mean.

I deal with drones, battery swelling is rampant, but never had an issue with phone

Yeah I didn't see that coming. It was a very rude surprise.

Is it safe for s7+'s battery to use 25w charger?
