Is it possible for some ebay brand company to come out with a faster charger AKA rapid charger? I'm talking electronically is it possible without damaging the unit.
I'm sure that's one of the first things I'd buy if it came out, a faster adapter or an AC type adapter instead of a USB form wall charger. The fact that I had my tablet charging at 6:05pm and now it is 11:22pm (roughly 5.5 hours) and still isn't at 100% is rather really annoying. I can live with it but I certainly wouldn't mind if some new rapid charger came out that allowed charging to be done in 2 hours or so like the Moto Xoom or Toshiba Thrive.
Your battery is charging slow because it also takes 10hrs to discharge under heavy usage. You can't expect to have your battery charge in 1hr and be used 24, right? I don't understand why you want to have it charge faster... leave it charge over the night like everyone else does it.
I think this is not right at all, my netbook is discharching in about 10 hours and the charge time is at least about 3 hours

How about this: find this fast charging USB charger, test it, THEN come back to XDA and post a thread called "faster wall charger." Really, I'm starting to think you should just open up that Xoom and go spam their forum with complaints masked as questions.

EDIT: I was having a bad day. Although your response wasn't exactly appropriate to my OP, I kind of did the same thing and escalated the situation. Apologies.
I really do like the Galaxy a lot and I guess there's no "Rapid charger" out yet. lol
Is it just me or are the cords on the stock charger that comes with phone getting shorter and shorter?
So my question is, does anyone know of a wall charger with a longer cord?
Thanks

Shorter the cord, quicker the charge i believe. I have a 6 foot cable i use to charge my Gnote, but it's noticable slower (and its shorted for rapid charging). I have tested different AMP chargers too, but the OEM shorty is the best.
I know what you mean though, it's a pain in the ass sometimes when it ain't long enough
Cable length wont matter up to the Max length of 15', however I have seen some issues with printers and wont go over 12'. The quality cable can matter though.
I have noticed they seem to be getting shorter though. Maybe a 16" cable cost $0.02 instead of the 20" cable that costs $0.03

I use a drop cord to get the charger close to me while I'm using the PC.
I like to plug-in and use the phone before bed. I replaced the Samsung one for my old HTC cable. I doubt it charges fast enough, but we shall see

Low gauge 10 feet, you might see some resistance and a slower charge, but if you're like me and you generally charge overnight, no biggie, plus more room to have it on the bed monitoring how much your wife keeps you up Electric Sleep or other such apps

I have 4 batteries, desk charger, car charger, an bed charger. A dead batter is not an option for me. I just wanted some longer cables. But at 12 feet there shouldn't be any real noticeable drop, especially when used with a fast charge supply. You start to see drops when you hit 15'-20' that start to effect things.
Has anyone purchased/used one yet? I am looking at getting one, but haven't yet, mostly because I haven't found one that I am sold on. Thanks
I've got two different ones that I've tried now and neither of them keep the phone charging, but the battery will usually stay at the same amount. They charged my Nexus 5 pretty well even under hard use while driving.

Weird, because my Tylt Vu works just fine with it.
Also interested in seeing what people are finding useful.

Funny enough, one of them is the same one you just posted, just a different brand name. Worked good for my Nexus 5, but my LG G3 usually just stays at the current level when I put it on there with Ingress or Waze plus BT Streaming going on. If it is hot out it loses charge slowly.
Here's the other one.
www.amazon.com/dp/B00INRZVF6/
Grips MUCH better, and is a really nice mount. 3 coil also, but not enough juice to do better than the other one. I've tried multiple 2.1A usb chargers too.

Does your DigiYes consistently charge your phone? I have one of the DigiYes models, but I'm finding it frequently stops charging, often within seconds of beginning charging, though sometimes it lasts a few minutes before giving up. I always get the "Wireless Charging" message on the display, never the "slow charging" warning.
I tried swapping their 2.1A cigarette lighter adapter for an Anker 2.4A charger -- same deal. Tried adjusting the vertical position in the charger -- sometimes seems to last a little longer before giving up, but generally doesn't help at all. When it stops charging, the blue light stays on (rather than going back to green).
When it does charge, I seem to get a decent charge current out of it. Very confusing, and probably going to get shipped back.
Edit: it seems to drop out less when charging from wall power, though it still happens -- perhaps correlated with greater power demands on the phone (Google Earth).
I did state above that it charges my phone, but if Navigation and BT Streaming is going on it keeps it at a steady level, or if hot discharges slowly.
If you don't have a 3 coil QI charger, positioning is very important, if it charges and stops, it is a positioning issue for sure.
Changing to a higher amperage charger won't help, as Qi only puts out so much. The new Qi standard coming out should fix this for us though, it transmits 2 amps I think, and has more distance so positioning shouldn't matter AS much.

Does the DigiYes disconnect constantly like the one I have? Or no?
Nope.
My other one did, but after adjusting how high it sat with the bottom brace that problem went away.
My air dock keeps the phone at a steady charge while running navigstion, bluetooth (aptx) via stock music app, and 100% brightness. The thermal protection activates eventually and lowers the brightness to 90%, and then it starts to very slowly charge. It charges fast if not running anything.
Also, you don't need 3 charging coils. My powerbot disk style charger easily works without worrying about position. I opened it up and the whole thing (~2.5") is one big coil. The air dock works well too, but I haven't opened it up.

I have two air docks (from the original crowd funding campaign) and neither one of them will hold my G3 (with the included magnets used). How well is your sticking? I wonder if I got an early batch that didn't stick well?

It works perfectly fine. Does yours use both magnets and the suction pad? I believe they were separate options in one development point. Also, my car was dusty and it did get some dust on the pad which made it not hold, but wiping it with a damp cloth and letting it dry fixed that issue.

My DigiYes 3 coil frequently disconnects, sometimes in a constant connect-disconnect loop. Other times it holds for a while. It seemed to do better when I put it on a higher amperage charger than it came with, along with the original G3 cable. However this could be coincidence. When it does charge, the charging rate is comparable to any of my desktop qi chargers.
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 G6 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I have used the charger that came with it (since it was the only USB-C cable I had at the time) and it charged amazingly fast. I bought a Wireless charger as well which is also amazingly fast. It's my first wireless charging experience and I was told it trickle charges so it would be much slower than charging from the cable, but I barely notice a difference in speed at all. I keep checking the phone what seems like every couple of minutes if not seconds and the % has increased by a lot more than I would have imagined. I thought wireless charging to be pointless and a who-cares ordeal, but not that I have experienced it... I don't think I will go back to a device without it (not for a phone at least). I'm not sure if any health issues can be there from radiation, but I'm almost dead anyway (well... I have about 50 years to go I guess) so I don't really care, lol.
For those wondering, I went with the CHOETECH Qi Model T513 wireless charger. Input: DC5V/2A (Max) Output: 7.5W which I purchased from Amazon for only $19.95. That was 50% off at the time I purchased it, but that was only a few days ago so you might want to check on it.
Really? I feel my g6 charges way slower then my S7 edge. I still have it but I'm gonna test this tomorrow.

Went and picked up this bad boy today. LS variant. Out of the box, had 41%. Using my car charger Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0(yes 2.0) and the included USB C, it charged to 70% in the 20 minute drive back to my house. For using the old QC tech, still charged amazingly fast. I have a QC3.0 39W wall charger that got delivered this afternoon. Will wait til this baby dies and charge her up with that and will report back.
Ive noticed when using a QC 3.0 charger and cable doesnt seem like the g6 is actually charging faster. Its suppose to support QC but its not.
I'm finding this charges a lot slower than my S7 Edge as well. Using the provided cable and charger it takes about 2.5 hours to go from 5% to full which is generally fine, but there isn't a burst and then trickle. I appreciated being able to plug my phone in for a short time when it was low and top it up enough to go out and not worry about it dying. Can't really do that with this one.
I had a power brick laying around and says qualcomm 2.0 and it charge`s really fast, like 1% of battery every min. , but yes with the stock charger brick takes forever to charge.
Using a Xiaomi USB C charger (45W) which supports both UPD 2.0 and QC 3.0, my phone charged very fast.
Mine charges super fast with the supplied charger. I plugged in with 11% yesterday and hit 50% in like 25 minutes.
quick charging is convenient and all, but is there a way to revert to normal charging? I don't want to accelerate my cycles. Thanks.

Use a non-QC charger.

the charger that comes with the device doesn't support QC3, it's a QC2 charger.
so, getting a QC3 charger would defiantly decrease the charging time :good:

Look to the charger specification, if it supports only 5v and 9v then is QC2. QC3 scales on various voltage between 5 and 12 volts.
And yes, the provided charger is QC2, probably the same Found with the G5.
Yeah I take back what I said. The supplied charger does appear to "only" be QC 3. It still seems faster then QC2 though. Maybe it's just in my head. It works for my needs though, I can get almost 50% in like 20.
Charge in airplane mode when you can. When you have no worries of anyone calling or texting. With wifi off as well you'll see a decent jump in fast charging.
purchased by phone a couple of days back and it charged from 5% to 100% in approx 1.40 mins with the stock QC 2.0. I'm damn impressed....
Let me Ask y'all something. Coming from a LG G4 and just Charging My Batteries by a OEM Battery Charger I got 2HRs More of SOT. When I charge via the USB Quick Charger I got the same 3HRs as usual. So I got 5 while charging Slower then the SO-Called Quick Charging. To my understanding Batteries are meant to Slow-Charge rather then Fast
Has anyone had success getting wireless charging to work on the 6T? Before you start, I know, it's not built in. I mean with one of those little cards you plug into the bottom and slip between the phone and case. I have a 10w capable charging pad I'd like to use. The receiver I got doesn't seem to go in far enough. When plugged in to my old 3T, it will charge wirelessly and it doesn't go all the way into the phone unlike the 6T. I noticed that with the official OP charging cable there is a little click when inserting when then and only then it will charge. I can't get the receiver in far enough before bottoming out to get that click. Or would current output not be high enough on the receiver for the phone to recognize?

This phone can pretty much be charged once a day with the way most of us are using it. Having it slowly charge over night with wireless charging may be less straining in the battery. I'm tempted but so far I just charge to around 80% at night before bed and unplug overnight.
I was looking at that one on Amazon. Seems like the gold one on there may be better?
My question is, if you have to plug the wireless charging card into your USB C port anyway, does that defeat the entire purpose? Not dissing it or anything, that's very subjective, but.....

Just remove cable. No big deal I have done this. Plus I don't use the dongle only Bluetooth headphones.
The reason that I use a wireless charging receiver pad plugged into my usb-c is because I've seen more than one of them go bad on other phones.
Besides the power button, the next most likely part of a phone to fail is its charge port. Likely because of sheer mechanical wear and tear on both these components. Which is why I use gestures to turn on and off my display, and that wireless receiver.
However, it's not without drawbacks:
- I'm not sure that having something perpetually plugged in doesn't stress the port much less than taking something in and out. But I figure it does.
- It's a pain to use the port for anything else, like otg drives or wired headphones or adb
- dash charging is WAY faster than wireless

Why would you like to have a wireless charger? The cable charging is amazing is so fast. I normally charge round at 30 percent and I went to play battlefield 5 two games my phone will be fully charged is so fast. Not worth it to get a wireless charger.

Does it work if I have the terminal with the original red case?
Lack of wireless charging is my only real gripe with the 6T. This sounds like a good solution if you never plan to use the USB port. I like the quick wired charging but having the option for wireless would be a good feature. How hard could it have been for OnePlus to add? Is the back case metal? It looks like glass to me.
Just easier for me to plug in my USB-C slow charger. Not sure what the advantage is to doing this. If you put it between the back of the phone and a case, I get it. Just plugging it into a USB-C wireless receiver seems like a waste of 15 -20 bucks for zero gain. At least for me.
I bought this one so I can still charge it if needed. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QNW32V4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
