Quick charger ability? like moto turbo charger - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Will the Sony Z3c have the ability to fast charge?
It has the supported chipset 'Qualcomm Snapdragon 801'
Wonder if the moto turbo charger will work, or if Sony will bring out their own variant.

Sony's included EP880 charger outputs 1.5 amps and I've read that it provides 60 minutes of talk time from a 10 minute charge. Not sure if that's exactly quick charge but it should be faster then a regular 1 amp charger.

In the latest phonearena review (today) it says:
Sony also claims that the Z3 Compact has fast charging capabilities and can get 60 minutes of talk time from a 10 minute charge. Stay tuned for more details on charging speeds soon.

well i found this on a google search https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/smartphones/sony-xperia-z3-compact

Nothing scientific, but I am using a Blackberry Playbook charger (1.8A output) and this thing charges FAST. I can gain like 40% charge in 30 minutes or so.

I can confirm that it charges fast. Full charge in less than 2 hours this morning.
Some days ago i charged it for 20 minutes in the morning and got 25% more juice. At the end of the day, with moderate use (taking into account that this is my new favourite toy) I had only lost 20%.
I don't know if quickcharge is available or working, but I'm more than happy with the battery and charge performance.

TeckNet iEP380 External Bettery Pack

Just got that for Christmas as i had it on my wish list for a while, having the current battery life of OB
First impression is very good. There is extensive review on Amazon Uk which i can only agree with.
It came nearly fully charged , a good set of adapters. So far recharged twice from 50% to 100% and battery is still on 3rd mark.
Capacity is 5000mAh and even with the losses during charging should do two full recharges from 0 to 100 and a bit left.
Will do further report of performance in few days.
P.s . It was 19.98 uk pounds
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B000NDQ92W/ref=mp_s_a_5?qid=1324879765&sr=8-5
There are quite few more batteries they do up to 11000 mAh but i thought 5000 mAh should be fine.
The higher the capacity the longer the charging time fir the pack.
How much did it cost ?
Will be waiting for your experience; overall lifetime, any heating issues etc..
Price added
First drain finished , three half recharges from 50 to 100 .
Now the recharge of the unit took 6 and a half hours (factory data states 8 on 1A charger) still few cycles to get to full potential. The first recharges were on factory charge.
Also to consider there are two outlets, 500mA and 1A. Performance wise better to use the 500A as the phones battery is gonna last longer and there is gonna be more recharges accomplished before depleting the battery. Obviously when on the go one might want the 1A as being faster, but downside is more electricity loss on both sides.
Big minus - charge indicator nearly useless as it stays forever on 3 than goes just about straight to 1 .
I mean two charges from 15 to 100 and from 20 to 100 and while on 85 % of the second charge it still shows 3 lines on 90 porcent it shows 1 line and not very long after that dies.
Also the on of button is easy to press and if left on battery will become depleted .
So value for money definately is there just do not trust the indicator as it might turn you are left with hardly any back up juice.
On a final line played 3 hours games this afternoon ( Riptide and InertiaHD) , started with 12 porcent battery and now have 54. Woop woop.
Not too bad (apart from stupid charger still showing 3 lines arghhh)
P.s.
After few more cycles will try how many zero to full charges can be achieved
Thanks for sharing your experience. I am too planning to buy one now; will see if any good deal is available in local market than online deals.
Plenty of similar products on the market, best to buy something with viable feedback and reasonable capacity. After all even the best battery dies in no more than 3-4 years.
My experience is exactly as i expected, there were much more refined batteries but at way higher price and at the end all i cared for was 2+ full recharges
One more issue, i tried to charge the pack with my OB charger as it is 1A so it should be 8 hours charging time instead of 11 hours with the 500mA one i was using.
But after all night being plugged it was still charging with one light lit and the second one blinking (the blinking line is the stage of charging) .
After a check saw that the OB charger is 4.8 volts while the generic 500mA one i used initially is 5.2 volts.
Just keep that in mind in case you have issues with another battery pack. There must be enough voltage if not the charging might fail.
I'm keeping an eye on it as i have a month to return if not happy with it
Ok, final update.
I had already for two Weeks and have been charging my OB exclusively on it.
As i quotes before lg charger doesn't work, but any 5volt USB wall charger should be ok (500mA to 1A)
To be precise in the calculations i reverted to rooted stock with no running apps and no connections active. Phone charged two full times from 4-5 percent to 100 in the usual time as when on wall charger, and tHird charge gave about 20 before it switched of.
Indicators still not reliable. Until 60 percent in the second charge it showed 3 lines, than for 15 minutes showed two and when it came to 70 percent showed 1.
Blinking started about 5 minutes before it died.
So that's my rounds of the gadget.
Hope it have been useful to someone.
Now reverted to CM7 charging takes longer and even stops if i use the phone actively. But i love CM

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 BLU R1 HD can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Must use Blu charger. Otherwise, charging speed will be 30% lower. I checked with Ampere. Using Blu charger, can charge from 10-100 in about ~2 hours. Not bad.
My experience has been different. If you're heavily using the phone (google maps for navigation for example) the battery will barely charge and it will get very hot. The phone maintains charge well, however charging it up is definitely a 3-4 hour process, if I plug it in for 15 minutes with no use it's about 5-10% on the battery max. I did not find the charger that came with the phone to be any different than most other chargers I had lying around, same charge time (most were higher amperage anyway, being throttled by the phone regardless).
3 because it does charge very slowly, even compared to older non fast charge phones I've had, I think I read that it maxes out at [email protected] which is quite slow.
It's not as big of a deal as the battery life is excellent and it was only $60, but you can't get around calling the charging slow
Definitely limited charging speed, if I use a Samsung 2 amp charger im looking at about 3.5 hours to max charge, whats weird is I used a Samsung 1 amp charger and achieved full charge from 8% to full in just under 2 hours. How does a manufacturer cripple charging port?? -_-

Here's how long it took to charge my R1 HD from 1% until 100% with the Wi-Fi on and radio on. 2 hours and 39 minutes...
Standard BLU charger and cable used.
It's really crappy that BLU somehow cripples the charging time if you choose to use a different charger or cable.
That's got to be the thing I hate the most about this phone. Sigh....
I just got his phone and while I work I stream videos and music all day long at my desk. I keep the phone plugged in the entire time and I've noticed the battery percentage will only increase 1% per hour while charging & using the phone at the same time. Previously I was using the iPhone 6s doing the same thing, it charged 100% quickly. But with nothing changing on the iPhone 7 I switched to android on a cheap phone while I wait for the Samsung Galaxy S8
How does the device behave with Power Banks or 2.1 V outputs?

Droid Turbo Turbo Charge , Quick Charge 2.0 question

So few days ago got the phone , but always charged it through USB port. Now finally tried turbo charger and it definitely isn't "turbo". I know most of those Turbo claims what I saw were just selling strategy , but I'm pretty sure I'm not even getting 1% - 1 minute. Latest Marshmallow OTA.
So , on a relatively new battery , how fast does your phones charge ? You can write with phone turned off and on..
Also looking at the charger it says for output :
Standard output :5V =1.6A
Turbo output :9v=1.6A
Turbo2 output :12v = 1.2A
This deosn't make any sense to me, while raising volts may solve some power losses through cable , amps are what charges your phone faster or slower , and 1.6A , isn't really a big deal not to mention 1.2A. Reading somewhere that quick charge 2,0 supports up to 3amps draw..
I have One Plus one and it's original charger is 2.1A (quick charge 1.0 ) , with custom kernel bumped charging rate all the way up and good cable I'm seeing about 2Amps of charging in real life , or little more than 1% per minute . I was expecting motorola to charge faster or at least even , even though they are 3100 vs 3900mAh batteries.. Not to mention I can easily mod OnePlus One and get same SOT and battery overall as motorola's, while on motorola I'm stuck with stupid locked bootloader . Original idea was to sell OnePlus One because of Motorola, but I don't know now anymore..
The volts and amps listed on an electrical device are typically its max or rated output, NOT what it "always" delivers. That being said, most power supplies will deliver their rated voltage most of the time, but the current is determined by the charged device (through it's effective resistance)... so as long as you run below the rated current, you'd be fine.
Secondly, from what I'm reading, the OPO doesn't have quick-charge technology (ref: https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/co...lcomm_quickcharge_20/?st=ix64k1gy&sh=6d7492c9 ) so I'm not sure what you're talking about there. Again, the charger may say 2.1A, but that doesn't mean it's actually delivering that much all the time. I have a relatively old Kindle Fire with a 2.1A charger, but I know it doesn't charge very fast even with that device.
If you want to talk about Volts and Amps, you need to use actual volt/amp meters to see what you're getting.. Note, there is an app for Android (called Ampere) that claims to report amp-rates, but it also has a caveat saying that the current should not be taken as completely accurate, for various reasons.
Lastly, note that QC doesn't actually run when you are at higher charge levels... I think it's above 80% or something? After that level, it returns to "standard charging" mode for this "top-off" phase of the battery charge cycle. So, if you're seeing slow charge rates there, it's to be expected.
The Turbo has a relatively massive battery. Mine takes...somewhere upwards of 3ish hours on turbo charging to replenish.
1 hour 15 minutes
that's what it takes to go from 0 to 100% using Turbo Charger 2.0
Thank you all for answering, this is exactly why I started this thread. Already see here some interesting results!

Thanks! Actually, OnePlus ONE DOES have quick charge 1.0 which is 5v up to 2.1A. Snapdragon 801 supports quick charge 2.0 but OPO didn't implement it with phone. There are billions of topic on this at OPO forum and a lot of people done tests including myself. The problem with OPO is it's very sensitive on cable so it works best with OEM cable and it somehow recognizes it. There is app called OPO charging current so I monitored with it and synapse . Kernel setup hardware to be able to recive very max 2100mA no mather which cable. Stock ONEplus charger. Some cheap cables gave me from 300 - 600 mA max with screen on . I found at home some cable that looked cheap but said charge only, tried and it charged around 1600mA with screen on and around 1800 screen off. Later got Anker 21 AWG and results were even better , aroun 1800-1900mA screen on and close to maximum 2000mA screen off. Phone was charging 1% in less than a minute. Thought turbo can charge at same rate. After all , it's "boosted" lol.
I know it doesn't do quick charge after around 75% , I tried at 30%. Given all that , 1600mA which is maximum I see on the Motorola's charger is not something special if we disregard Voltage..

Because if you charge from 0-100 in 1h 15min, thats around 3.2Amps charging current , while our buddy Einsteindks here gets around 1.3Amps and max amp I see on "rola's charger is 1.6Amps. I'm confused now.
Also can somebody post picof stock droid turbo USB cable shipped in bundle? I think I don't have stock cable, it says right at the plug phone side "be hello". No other labels or anything..

According to your guess-timate and max rated power I see on the charger, that seems about right and realistic guess BUT there also isn't anything TURBO about it. I'ts the average charging speed of every device today (1.5A) which doesn't have any kind of quick charge option. Even quick charge 1.0 is faster with 2.1A at 5v . Thats why I opened this topic, I'm confused.
Only voltage is higher on turbo charger than let's say my OPO charger but amps are lower and voltage doesn't have that much of an impact on charging speed, amps do!
When I have my Turbo in my truck at night, and running about a dozen things at once, in addition to all the background stuff, NO 'regular' charger can keep up with the power demand, and the battery undergoes a insanely slow discharge. By itself, the battery lasts 3 or 4 hours, tops. With the turbocharger, the battery charges at a modest rate, maybe 10% per 30 minutes...while under high demand.

Since no other turbo users jumped in...
At the time of starting the topic I have disabled some Verizon's bloatware (completely stock, locked turbo). After reflashing completely stock FW , and with untouched software, droid really did charged turbo fast. More than 1% per minute and around 0-60% for 30min just as advertised for quick charge 2.0 . So if anyone was wondering, that should be benchmark.
On the other hand, phone is almost impossible to charge with any other type of "normal" charger..
My Turbo, running stock MM/root/Xposed with a large load of apps, will charge 20-30% per hour on a normal 1A charger, while lying on the desk with the screen off. It charges at a similar rate via Qi wireless charging. This is plenty for daily overnight charging. My usage habits are such that I usually have 20-40% battery left when I get home from work in the evening.
In a different usage case, when I play Ingress (a real battery eater, screen on + 3D animated graphics + GPS + data) the Qi charger in my car holds discharge to about 5-10% per hour.
I've never had a turbo charger to compare, but I've never found the normal charger or Qi charger to be significantly lacking.

Right, I've also used "normal" charger before. Now, I have all QuickCharge plug chargers -- but I still use Qi wireless charging every day, as does my wife.
I also plug in via USB port on my computer and it charges fine.
okay the way the turbo charging works is that it's like a tier system at very very low charge percentages it works the fastest and slows off after about 60 or 70 percent it just charges like a regular charger all the magic happens at the lower charges. another thing is that unless the cable you are using is total garbage it won't matter at all. it is all the phone and the ac adapter that do the work any variations in the cable will be negligible. I am monitoring my battery through the custom kernel (bhb27 and its app) and it says right now at 81% charge on a turbo charging that I am getting +1172.x mA if my battery was lower this value would be much much higher
lastly I recommend only using the turbo charger when you really need power quickly. if you are just plugging in your phone for the night it makes no sense and will actually be bad for your battery health. the faster it charges the more it heats up and heat is not good for the battery health when I plug my phone in at night I use a .5 amp charger and my phone says that it will need like 8 or 9 hours to charge (this may be exsessive but the quick chargers heat up my phone a lot I also use a 1 and 2 amp charger nearby

I am horrifically disappointed in this device's charging speed.
I was very pleasantly surprised by how fast this phone charges, untill the past few days. Now all the sudden it seems very average. "Charging Rapidly" is not anywhere near as impressive now as it was. Has anyone else experienced this? I want to figure out if it's just the phone (I have seen other slow charging complaints but not this specifically), or if I caused it.
I installed that stock kernel with security pass patch, twrp beta1, Magisk 14.4.2, and Viper4Arise. Pretty confident that it's not any of those things, but everything else is pretty standard.
This is the case with the charger that came with the P2 in box, the older N5x charger, and the usb-c car charger. I know the new P2 one is stronger, but the change is noticable all around.
My 'Charging Rapidly' also does not seem to be all that rapid, using the charger that came in the box and can take quite a while to get to 100%.

It takes hours to get to 100%. I recently got hold of a USB-A to USB-C cable and plugged the phone into my Nexus 6 brick. The difference was astounding. Full charge in about 1.5 hours. It's sickening that I spent the money on this phone only to have it be so disappointing. I'm a diehard Google fanboi but this is ridiculous.
Definitely miss my 1+5 dash charge. Damn that thing was fast.
Some numbers, today I connected my phone at 19% with stock charger.
- 30 min charge: 19% to 56%
- 40 min charge: 19% to 67%
I don't think that's bad, it's definitely not FAST, nor regular. But considering all the issues the 6P had with batteries, I don't really want to charge my battery in less than one hour. (Specially now that the phone has at least 3 years of updates, I'd like to have 90% of battery life or more in 3 years)
I'll have to do another test, something like from 35% to 80% (this would be more real life, I only need a 2nd charge when I'm traveling in a city with a power bank, using Maps and Camera all the time).
Ultra fast charging and wireless charging are some of the features that I care less in the phone. I want some fast charging between 30% and 90%, but I don't require it to be extremely fast.
TL : DR: If you value an ultra fast charging over other things in a phone, definitely skip the Pixel 2.
p2's charging current is capped at 2700ma (could be up to around 3200ma by kernel hax), meanwhile high battery temperature (over 45 Celsius degrees) and others things such as screen state will cap the current more (half or more)
Without those restricts, fully charge time should be around a hour.

Of course!
i prefer the 18 w fast charged since it wont degrade the battery as fast as 30 w fast charger. of course a 6000 mah is more difficult to degrade, but the life span will be better with 18w charger
the tencent edition 8/128 is a best buy.. not worth the global 12/512gb . only it has little more bands, all glass body, some new accessory and fast charged. reccomended only for people that use more than 128gb.
128gb is more than enough for me and an almost 1000$ 512gb global model is not giustified!

Proper fast charging shouldn't degrade a battery any faster than normal charging, as long as it doesn't cause the battery to heat up more than normal or charge to a higher finished voltage than normal. What degrades a battery is charging it to 100% all the time, because that last 5 to 10 percent of the charge is up in the 4.15 to 4.2+ volts per cell, which causes the damage that we see as degradation. If you limited the charge to 80%, or even 90% you'd get a MUCH slower degradation of the battery.

What degrades a battery is charging it to 100% all the time, because that last 5 to 10 percent of the charge is up in the 4.15 to 4.2+ volts per cell, which causes the damage that we see as degradation. If you limited the charge to 80%, or even 90% you'd get a MUCH slower degradation of the battery.

And what's nice about the phone is that it gives you a way to mitigate this right from settings. Go to Settings, Battery, PowerMaster, Battery Care. Here you can set times for dynamic charging between hours X and Y to get to 100% instead of as fast as you can. Mine is set 10 pm to 7 am for now.
Any 30W third party compatible?
Using the original supplied battery and cable takes around 4 hours or more, any suggestion???
Why it's taking over 4 hours?? Any way to fix?

It takes 4 hours with the phone off or on. If it's on make sure that scheduled charging isn't activated during the period you try to charge the phone.
If non of what I suggested is useful, it's better you take your device to ASUS service center.

From 50% to 100% takes 4 hours with the phone on.
Scheduled charging was already deactivated.
Could you suggest a better alternative cable & charger that may speed up the charge? Thanks.

There is a problem with your device battery mate either this or your charger is the issue. From 50% to 100% it shouldn't take more than 1 hour and that's with the default charger that comes with the device itself 18W. Try to charge the device with another charger and compare. Otherwise I advice you to taking it to the service center.

Thank you for your advice, I will try charging using my Sony Xperia 1 charger & see if it makes any difference.
Otherwise the battery holds charge very well. I will update you shortly as I've only had the device for 3 days...
I will also order this and see if it helps:
JuicEBitz® 25W 3 Port USB FAST QC3.0 Mains Charger Adapter +
It should provide me with the fastest supported charge. I'll order it next week & once tested I will report back.

I already have an update and know what the problem is.
Around 30 minutes back, I had 60% battery. Just now I unplugged it and it was 96%
I used original Sony Xperia 1 18w charger and cable. This means that there is an issue with the supplied Asus charger, it is charging very slowly. The 18W Sony charger is charging much faster than the 30W Asus...
Anyway to charge only to 80% in software? With a 6000 mAh battery, I don't really need to charge to full if I can increase longevity of the battery life.
