Couldn't find an answer to this after searching, so here's my question.
If I use, say the micro usb cable from the Note 2 to charge my Note 3, will it be as fast as using the Note 3's cable.
The note 3's cable is USB 3.0 which I understand would make data transfer faster (assuming PC has USB 3) but there's conflicting info about whether this makes charging faster.
For the sake of above, assume the power source is the same (i.e., a wall charger).
Does anyone know or has tested?
Cheers
Mine charges just as fast using normal USB 2 cable add it does the 3. USB 3 is higher data throughput. Not amperage. That is off the charger itself. I never use the 3.0 cable. I use 6ft USB 2 cables and still charge in about two hours, little less usually . It's all about the output on your charger. 2A like the stock one or Verizon ones and you are fine. 500mAh charger would take forever to charge it though.

I actually notice a difference or I'm not sure if it's in my mind but a hour and my battery is fully charged with supplied charger my old note 2 charger take 1.5 or so hours to charge.

Now I'm not sure about subtle details on how usb charging works, but it seems the original wall adapter is not outfitted with a usb 3.0 port. If you look at usb 3.0 ports (female end) they have metal contacts on the front edge, which the samsung wall adapter doesn't have. Not sure if the extra contacts carry current, but my guess is if only the standard usb 2.0 contacts are being used then speeds would be equal regardless if a 3.0 or 2.0 cord is used.
I have USB 2.0 cables that charge just as fast as the supplied USB 3.0 one. I also have ones that don't.
Don't buy really cheap cables. cheap ones usually have thinner copper wires (the cable could still be thick, but that's down to thicker insulation). If there's not enough copper to allow the current to pass, the charge rate will be slower.
I believe the USB 3.0 cable only charges faster if plugged into a USB 3.0 port on a computer compared to a USB 2.0 cable. On a wall charger they are the same speed.
Wish there was an app like Galaxy Charging Current that would work on this device.

USB 3.0 spec shows 900mA so I suspect that connecting to a USB 3.0 port on a computer isn't going to charge as fast as the 2A wall charger over either USB 2.0 or 3.0 cable. The big difference should be in data transfer. I never charge my Note 3 over USB 3.0 cable, always the 2.0 cables that I have all over the place. Strange thing is that it charges consistently faster than my Galaxy Nexus on the same cable/charger.

Galaxy charging current lite works fine for me. The cable makes no difference at all. Good quality cables should charge at 1800mA from the charger regardless of whether they are USB 2.0 or 3.0. This translates to a little over 2 hours charge time.
From a USB port either cable will only see 450mA unless you insert an inline adapter designed to make the note think it is connected to a Galaxy charger.

Just uninstalled and -reinstalled the app, now it's working. coo
How is the current for charging detected?
Differenc in charging time depends on a higher charging current.
The current of 500 mA for USB 2.0 and 900 mA USB 3.0 to my knowledge only for the Device = Note supplying power to external Devices like USB-Sticks (e.g. Memory or DVB-T), Hardrives and so on. It does not specify in regard to using a USB plug as charger nor the the current it charges the notes with. I am wondering how the current detection between the original Galaxy or Nexus charger and any other charger, USB-Hub or computer port is done.
When you compare µUSB-B 2.0 to 3.0 connection http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_2.0#2.0 and here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_3.0 youls find that the USB 2.0 µUSB-B has the same connection as the µUSB-B 2.0 (note http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_3.0identifies 11 Pins for µUSB-B which seems incorrect because Pin 5 has to be ground to be backwards compatible).
The additional 5 Pins are only for the 4 USB 3.0 Data-Lines and ground.
If you look into the USB-A connector in the charger you'll see also only 4 Pins like in any other female USB-A 2.0 connector, so using a µUSB-B 3.0 can't be the reason.
I'll edit this as I have more things to test. All using Galaxy Charging Current Lite app
Charging current:
OEM USB 3.0 cable + wall charger = 1200
OEM USB 3.0 cable on PC USB 2.0 port = 450
Monoprice USB 2.0 cable + OEM samsung wall charger = 1200
Monoprice USB 2.0 cable on PC USB 2.0 port = 450
Mine charges faster with the stock USB 3.0 cable. This is incredibly fast compared to the Note 2 charging cycle.

OK here are myvalues Charging Current Lite app displayed charging current:
Samsung USB 3.0 cable with
Samsung wall charger = 1200
USB 3.0 10 port Hub-charging port = 1200
USB 3.0 10 port Hub = 450
USB 3.0 Elitebook 8560 = 450
USB 3.0 Cable with USB-A 3.0 to µUSB-B Adaper = 1200
So it's not the cable that makes the difference.

I'm getting similar results.
USB2.0 cables same as USB3.0 cables as far as charging goes.
Also regardless of plugging into USB3.0 port or USB 2.0 port on computer, still pulling only 450.
Using OEM samsung 3.0 cable, and amazon 3.0 cable.
OEM samsung 2.0 cable, monoprice 2.0 cable.
Oh, and it will charge at 1800 using both a USB 2.0 and 3.0 if the screen is off (turn screen off, plug charger in, turn screen on open galaxy charging current lite and it will display 1800 until refreshed).
I had the time to check the AC consumption of both the Note 2 and Note 3 PS, both are with the Note off ~11 W independent of cable used.
When the battery was fully charged at 100% and the power consumption was arround 6 W, I started the Current Lite app and it displayed a charging current of 1200 mAh even so the battery was charged? Something is wrong with the displayed value if the battery is fully charged, unless it's supposed to be only the current supplied to the Note. Then why does it not correlate to the AC-power meassured?
I looked at the voltage of the Note 3 PS and noted it's 5.3V while the Note 2 PS is the standard 5 V.
If I find time i will built an adapter and check if the voltage is true DC or if there is some other signal imposed.
Or do the Notes PS initiate some kind of data transfer to let the Notes know its the original charger that can supply higher current.
Any ideas or input.
Isn't snapdragon 800 on the note 3 suppose to have some sort of quick charging feature, that when used with the factory cables should increase charging speeds?
I could detect at best a few 100 Mw difference difference between charging with the OEM cable and any other USB 2.0 or 3.0 cable with µUSB adapter or when I used an adapter to µUSB.
Car Charger
Sorry, but I can't seem to find the right answer.
I need to charge my phone whilst being used in my aircraft.
Using a USB 2.0 cable on the Note 3 supplied charger, I only get 450mA.
Will it charge faster if I install a 2A car charger in my aircraft and use a USB 3.0 Note 3 cable?
Regards,
Erich
I use a 2 Amp charger in my spaceship and it can be used to monitor the ecu while still providing enough power for the phone to charge.
You just need to be sure that the charger actually deliver 2 Amp and not 500mah

Since the Atrix charges extremely slow via regular USB 2.0 port, I was wondering if something like this might help?
http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-USB2HABMY6-Cable-External-Drive/dp/tech-data/B003HHK58U
The problem with USB 2.0 is that it's only 500mA while the wall charger is 850mA. With this, I would assume we'd get a full 1A.
Has anyone ever tried something like this? I'd like to know if it works.
A trickle charge is always better for battery life but if a quick charge is what you are looking for then you can try but not sure if it will give you any more power because of the phone itself. See Below.
"The USB 1.x and 2.0 specifications provide a 5 V supply on a single wire from which connected USB devices may draw power. The specification provides for no more than 5.25 V and no less than 4.75 V (5 V±5%) between the positive and negative bus power lines. For USB 2.0 the voltage supplied by low-powered hub ports is 4.4 V to 5.25 V.
A unit load is defined as 100 mA in USB 2.0, and was raised to 150 mA in USB 3.0. A maximum of 5 unit loads (500 mA) can be drawn from a port in USB 2.0, which was raised to 6 (900 mA) in USB 3.0. There are two types of devices: low-power and high-power. Low-power devices draw at most 1 unit load, with minimum operating voltage of 4.4 V in USB 2.0, and 4 V in USB 3.0. High-power devices draw the maximum number of unit loads supported by the standard. All devices default as low-power but the device's software may request high-power as long as the power is available on the providing bus.
Some devices like high-speed external disk drives may require more than 500 mA of current and therefore cannot be powered from one USB 2.0 port. Such devices usually come with Y-shaped cable that has two USB connectors to be inserted into a computer. With such a cable a device can draw power from two USB ports simultaneously."

Already covered multiple times!
Do some research. USB 3.0 has been out for a long time, and does supply up to 900mA as was said in the 1st response. It's also a powered USB port, where 2.0 is not!

I've actually searched quite a lot before posting and found nothing even related to this. Sure, people talked a lot about the difference between the wall charger and a regular USB port. However, my question was specific to USB 2.0 the cable in question.
Either way, thanks for your input.
@CaelanT Good luck finding a Usb3 micro connection that fits a usb2 micro connection. Not to mention atrix would put it on usb2 mode if you could.

Has anyone successfully used a 12v usb charger other than the BN ripoff? I have a gmax 2.1a and aluratek 2a and neither one will charge the bn tablet. I get the "not charging" message on the tablet.. so I supposed its getting some juice, but not enough to sustain it. I soldered d+/d- together on both adapters and now both will show ac charging in the nexus - so I know each is getting close to 1amp. Ironically, the tablet will show ac charging if I use the nexus power ac power cube which is rated at 5v / 1amp output. So you would think the 12v usb adapters which are rated the same would work as well.
thoughts?

There's also the part of the equation where the USB adapter must supply a lot more than the 500mA of current that most adapters and computer USB ports are limited to. Mine will say "charging" as long as the adapter puts out around 1A (1000mA) or more and I use the NT's supplied cable. <-- But it still won't charge as quickly as it does when I use a 2A charger such as the one it came with. The factory charger is around 2A and expecting the NT to charge with anything less may not result how you'd like. Just because your phone likes a charger doesn't mean your NT will.
There is more to it than just shorting the D+ and D- pins. If the charger was designed for iPad, then you will also need to remove 4 resistors. Check out the two links in my post relating this issue at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614091
I modded a car charger by just shorting the two pins. My HTC EVO 4G phone showed AC charging but my NT showed USB charging. I opened it up again and removed the resistors network and NT showed AC charging right away. Good luck.
bigdogz - good advice - made an attempt at it but my eyesight and hand steadiness aint what it used to be However, I did find one that works - Scosche reviveII - GUSBC3. Its a 2.1a port for the galaxy tab and a 1amp port for apple. It charges both the galaxy tab 10.1 and the nook tablet on the 2.1a port. It also will charge in ac mode a galaxy nexus from the tab port. The 1a port does not have the d pins shorted, but will charge an iphone.
I recently bought a scoche dual port 21W(dual USB with 2.1 amps per) charger that I thought could charge my 8.4 but it doesn't even seem to recognize it's plugged in. Is this because it needs that extra .3 volts from the stock charger? And are there any multiport chargers capable of charging this tablet?
I have 4-port charger from "Volmate" that I got from Amazon. Works fine. I don't see that same unit any more but they have a 5-port that looks similar:
http://www.amazon.com/5-port-Family...=UTF8&qid=1415848997&sr=8-16&keywords=volmate
The tablet doesn't need the .3 extra volts, it can use a variety of chargers as long as they are 5V 2A, it can even charge hooked to a PC , though the current from a computer would most like just be enough to power the device and not actually charge it.
Not sure why the tablet wouldn't recognize the charger you hooked up, does the battery icon have a X through it?
My Tab Pro can be used with many different chargers which sustain 2A or higher.

It requires the D+ and D- pins shorted together with 1.2 V on them. Google "Charging your Smartphone from USB without fear" Sorry I can't post links.
I cracked open my car charger and changed out the resistors to 330k and 110k. It works now. The chargers that mention having a chip / IC like the Anker chargers with SMART IQ auto detects and works. The .3 V difference is to make up for the voltage drop of the cable, it isn't necessary but it lets it charge faster.

They're 33K (to +) and 10K (to -) resistors.
I made few of them so I can charge old type Tab and Note with iPad-like plug.
I'm not sure what this is all about... To charge my 8.4 I mostly use my 1.5A HTC One charger or an older LG 1A. On my boat I'm using a bog standard cigarette lighter USB charger with two 2A outlets (not more than 3A combined). I've never had any problems with any of these.
Why would I need one with shortened D+/D- pins (or do all chargers have this implemented?)
Hello,
I have found this comment about the cable :
Note: I tested PC mode with a USB Type-C to HDMI cable I bought on Amazon. Because the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro support USB 3.1 it’s technically possible that you can screen share to a monitor and charge the device at the same time. I asked Anker if a powered USB hub with HDMI support like this would work, but they said it depends on wiring and whether a hub has been designed to communicate with the Mate 10 or not. I also asked Huawei for clarification, and they have vowed to get back to me on the specifics of what to look out for in a compatible hub. I’ll update the review as more information comes in. Thanks to Bram Peeters for raising this issue.

Is there a HUAWEI reference for this cable ?
Does it need to be HDCP compatible, with Netflix eg ?
Best regards
Hi Pascal... I already tried the desktop mode. Technically any type-c to hdmi adapter should work. I'm using this: https://www.incipio.com/chargers/usb-c/usb-c-digital-av-multiport-adapter.html ... and I added an HDMI to VGA cable adapter because there's a VGA cabled monitor at home that's not in use.
My current setup:
** Mate 10
** Incipio 3-port AV adapter
++ Logitech 2 in 1 wireless combo (keyboard and mouse using 1 usb dongle) attached to the 3-port adapter
++ Charger attached to the type-c port
** HDMI to VGA adapter
** monitor
Works without any issues except that the charger cannot push enough power to actually charge the phone. It still drops so probably from 80% you have a good 2 hours average of desktop mode time to perform stuff. I am thinking of getting a DELL type-c to hdmi adapter (just a simple hdmi adapter no extra ports) for playing games.
I got myself a Macbook usb 3.1 dongle ( Lmao ) and i can't seem to push power fast enough to charge my phone, it helps though, having power in drains the battery slower than having no power in

In fact, few months ago, i was looking for a USB C HUB (With or not HDMI, Ethernet) with power delivery,
for an ACER SWITCH V10 (2017), to connect many external USB HDD and KEYS.
I have found many products on Amazon.
And these products (USB C HUB) like EgoIggo HUB USB C (GN30E) on Amazon, could be fully adapted
with a Mate 10 PRO. Some of them are too Mac OS X or/and Windows compatible, with or not drivers.
Look the description :
[Multi-operation] 3 USB 3.0 ports, 2 Card Readers for SD and micro SD, 1 HDMI Slot, 1 RJ45 Eternet Port and 1 USB Type-C Charging Port. Compatible with new devices equipped with a Type-C USB port.
[High transfer speed] With a data rate of up to 5 Gbps, the three USB 3.0 ports allow you to connect your keyboard, mouse, USB flash drive and external hard drive to the laptop. An SD player and a micro SD player support SD / SDHC / SDXC cards up to 2 TB. An HDMI slot that supports resolutions up to 4K. An RJ45 Ethernet port allows a super-fast internet network up to 1Gbits / s, but also backwards compatible with 10 / 100Mbps
[Unique Design] This Hub is very small and thin, but robust, whose connection cable is properly flexible, which makes the connection very stable. This elegant aluminum-shaped design perfectly matches the style and color of MackBook and MackBook Pro.
[Power Delivery] USB-C Power Delivery (PD) for Macbook Macmini and other USB-C devices, capable of simultaneously transferring data and charging devices.
[Ultra Portable] This hub is packed with a small box of cardboard and well protected by a nice cover that prevents it from scratching your mackbook. Incredibly compact size and very practical to carry everywhere.
Best regards

same concern with the incipio that I'm currently using.
From what I see, it will just drain the battery however we use it. Probably faster if we use the same adapter as Pascal's find. If I have the chance I will test Huawei's adapters (they have a different brand of adapter here in the Philippines) - I can try and borrow: see if it CAN push the power enough to charge the phone. But I'm already assuming that it won't.
Given the fact that the type-c port provides 100% of what it's supposed to run on desktop mode, powering the adapter.. powering whatever usb device is plugged in, that power requirement is the one that needs to be addressed.
But overall not bad for a phone especially when you can still use the phone while working on desktop mode. We can't do work on the phone of course but just enough to get a few things done with a screen and keyboard/mouse combo...
Well according to some German website it's stated that the Mate 10 is Compatible with USB [email protected]*2A so we might need to get a USB PD compatible charger to hopefully gain more juice than using draining the battery slowly

probably if we use an adapter with a type-c slot going to the type-c port of the hdmi/type-c adapter....
I was looking at the Tronsmart multiport charger I think. It has a type-c port so you can use a type-c to type-c cable... BUT it only pushes out as fast charge on the mate 9... so of course that's also a fast charge on the mate 10... BUT again, that's if we plug the phone directly to the charger... would that be a different case if we plug it to the hdmi adapter? I'm actually planning to buy it.. just so I have a multiport adapter especially when out and about. This one says Power Delivery.. probably I'll grab this thing by end of the month and the type-c end to end cable...
http://www.tronsmart.com/products/tronsmart-u5p-60w-usb-pd-desktop-charger-with-voltiq
hopefully I can report back as soon as I get it.
current dilemma is we have a super charge adapter... and yet it's not pushing enough juice... hopefully the type-c type-c scenario works so we won't have draining issues...

Anker desktop charger that I'm using: https://www.anker.com/products/variant/PowerPort%2B-5-Ports-USB-C-/A2053111
It has Power Delivery - which powers most usb-c devices nowadays especially Macs and other Google devices if I got that correct.
The description has this:
USB Type-C, Premium 5-Port 60W USB Wall Charger with Power Delivery for Apple MacBook, Nexus 5X / 6P and PowerIQ for iPhone, iPad, Samsung & More
The stock charger will definitely work without problems IF DIRECTLY attached to the phone but this time we have an external device - the multi-port hdmi/type-c/usb adapter. Yes it has a type-c port included and you can attach the stock charger but from my experience especially with the Incipio adapter, it requires more "push" because the stock charger just slows down the drain when using desktop mode. It does not increase the phone's battery juice while in use.
:angel:
** Also, Huawei stock supercharger adapter pushes 22.5W of power BUT ONLY if connected directly to phone. Power delivery pushes 29W of power REGARDLESS of which device it's connected to. The Huawei charger is also picky so it might not be using all 22.5W if connected to an in-between adapter.

** Also, Huawei stock supercharger adapter pushes 22.5W of power BUT ONLY if connected directly to phone. Power delivery pushes 29W of power REGARDLESS of which device it's connected to. The Huawei charger is also picky so it might not be using all 22.5W if connected to an in-between adapter.

hi, thanks for your detailed reply. the edit with the wattage is especially useful. one last question. Does the Anker charger "fast-charge" the huawei mate 10 pro when connected directly? or just standard usb charging?
If yes, i will replace my huawei official charger with this anker one. handy that it has some usb ports as well so i can charge my bicycle lights overnight etc as well
thanks in advance for the further information

that's one of the things I actually was surprised with and didn't really expect...really good news for us because it does!! The phone registers FAST CHARGING even if I have "everything" connected for desktop mode.
* phone + incipio type-c hdmi usb combo
* incipio + hdmi-vga converter
* vga converter + vga led monitor
* Anker multi-port with type-c power delivery + anker type-c to type-c cord ..... connected to the incipio
** and a recent addition: since the incipio only has 1 regular USB port, I bought a 4-port usb hub... connected it to the incipio so that basically splits 1 into 4 usb ports... I attached my wireless keyboard/mouse combo and my Western Digital 1 Terabyte external HDD...... NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER.... haha!.. phone still chargers UP with fast charging indication...
Now I guess I have a full working desktop system with the mate 10
(I'm using the regular mate 10 but I guess that shouldn't affect the charge input/output)

Just an FYI to others, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro has 3 different charging modes. One is USB Charging, very very slow. One is Fast charging, like regular charging i guess. SuperCharging is really really fast. This Anker charger only fast charges my device.
I cant get SuperCharge unless I use the Huawei official charger or the Huawei AP09S PowerBank.
How can I SuperCharge with 3rd party accessories?!

To understand the chargin technologies one must understand how Watts Volts and Ampere work. Volt x Ampere = Watt. Explaining Volt and Ampere is kinda long story but to keep it short: Imagine a garden hose: The pressure of the water is Volt, the speed of the water is Ampere. Watt is the amount of water thats pouring out.
There are various technologies for charging, in the end it matter how many Watts there are. But different combinations of Volts and Ampere are possible to achieve the same amount of Watts.
There is a new universal standard called Power Delivery which was introduced with USB 3.1 Type C. So this is a standard that comes with usb 3.1 type c and that is why all the new usb3.1 type c laptops support it. (PD supports multiple protocols (combinations of V and A to reach up to 100W) and the more powerful ones mostly support the lower ones too. that means a 100W PD charging brick could charge a 5Vx3A=15W Phone, a 14Vx2A=28W iPad Pro, a 60W Macbook, an 80W Ultrabook etc.)
Previous Charging standards are something around 5V and 1A,2A, computer usb 2.0 ports only give 0.5A and usb3.0 ports give 1A, which is why some laptops have a dedicated phone charging port that delivers 2A (most phones used 5V/2A before fast charging technologies hit the market, it is also the protocol phones fall back to if the charging brick does not support the fast charging technology of the phones manufacturer)
Phone manufacturers have their own technoligies or license them from other companies. Qualcom has QuickCharge which many smartphones use (Samsung uses QuickCharge 2.0 with 9V and 1,67A (Delivers roughly 15W))
Huawei has its own SuperCharge which is based on 5V/4A and 4,5V/5A (delivers around 22W). So in order to use supercharge you have to get a charging brick that explicitely supports 4,5V/5A protocol and a cable that supports 5A (since standard USB 3.1 Type C Power Delivery protocols are based on a maximum of 3A most usb-c cables dont support 5A).
So as i mentioned before: more powerful charging bricks usually support less powerful protocols. so in order to charge devices that do not support the specific fast chargind protocol, all chargers also support 5V2A. Thats what happens if a Samsung is charged with huawei brick or my mate 10 pro is charged with the samsung brick (the difference being that Huawei seems to label the usb 3.0 pc port 5V/1A as "charging", the normal 5V/2A as fast charging and the Huawei SuperCharge at 4,5V/5A obviously is called SuperCharge). USB Power Delivery aims to end that by providing a standard that is available for all that use a 3.1 type c port. (that means if i have a 60W apple chargin brick for my macbook i can also use the same brick to charge my 29W ipad pro or another 60W usb type c ultrabook with windows with the same brick and cable without thinking twice. before usb type c and PD all laptops had to have dedicated chargers)

Regarding Desktop mode: I bought an adapter and successfully connected my mate 10 to an HD TV, but the resolution is low, does it depend on the TV, the cable, the adapter or there is a way to set the desktop mode resolution? I haven't found it ...

Hi enrico. I have exactly the same issue and it seems like its related to the 4K TV only. FHD TV work fine with my mate 10 pro but when I connect it to 4K TV it sticks to 640*480 resolution, which is useless obviously. Have you found a solution or anyone else ?

What is the model of your TV ? Maybe its a model-related issue (not the native resolution), I tried with a hdmi 2.0 cable and the problem is still here. I own a samsung 55MU7000.

CORRECTION ON THE BRAND...
I was referring to Anker and yes the idea for Power Delivery appears to work.
https://www.anker.com/products/variant/PowerPort+-5-Ports-USB-C-/A2053111
Still using my desktop mode original setup:
Mate 10 - Incipio 3-port adapter (type-c/hdmi/regular usb) - hdmi to vga adapter (vga cable LED monitor) - TYPE-C to TYPE-C cable going to the new Anker desktop charger (type-c port is Power Delivery capable) ....
Phone shows FAST CHARGING instead of just charging...
https://imgur.com/a/V7qII
Started around 68% now I'm at 74%. So I guess that should be the solution. Just grab a PD (power delivery) capable charger. The one from Tronsmart should work without issues as well.
Cheers guys!:good:

You getting much heat on the device I've used Samsung dex before and the S8 got warm but not very, I'm using the Mate 10 and the Dex hub which charges fast but phones gets quite hot using easy projection
This is the 100W Baseus deskop charger and I have two issues with it:
1. When two USB C ports are used, the power division is C1=65W and C2=30W. So C1 should still be more than capable enough to handle SFC 2.0 45W charging. But as you can see in the video, SFC 2.0 is not working when two USB C ports are used.
2. When I charge at SFC 2.0 and SFC 1.0 with the same charger, they both cap at 33W. I thought SFC 1.0 is just 25W? When I use the official 25W Samsung SFC 1.0 charger, it just caps off at 24W as expected.
Baseus support sucks big time so I'm having a problem reporting this to them.

Baseus GaN5 Pro 65 watt can charge at 50watt peak.
after 60 percent,watt same as samsung 25 watt charger.
But your measurement is input power to the charger and not output power to the phone. There's a bit of a difference because of power adapter efficiency. I don't know what is the difference between the Gan5 Pro 65W and this 100W adapter really.
BUMP! Anyone please?
This is normal for such a charger. I have a PZOZ version - 65W GaN 2xUSB C + 1xUSB A. SFC 2.0 works only with 1 device plugged in, if you plug another (it might be a 5W one) - this breaks the SFC. I can assume that this is coming from the controller and the device is actually not capable to support such scenario, even though the power is declared as 100W.
Hmmm, that's interesting. I thought the issue was isolated to BaseUS. Their support is really non-existent. They reply but it's like you're talking to a stupid person that does not understand the issue.
Aside from this issue, do you have any other issues when using both ports? As for me, when I charge my phone while my laptop is plugged in, it sometimes drops the wattage on the laptop device to just 19w. If the laptop is plugged in by itself, it goes up to 59w. Not sure what's going on here.
Are there any usb c car chargers that support sfc 2.0?

But I bought the 65W charger and BaseUS said that it can only do PPS 18W.
S23 Ultra requires 10v 4.5 amp to achieve 45 w charging . Charger and Cable both should be capable of 5 amp current capacity and Charger should support PD 3.0 with PPS at 5 amp that is the basic requirement, Cable should have a e-marker chip to identify it as having 5 amp capacity to the charger. usually such cables have 5 amp written on the USB C port and are visibly thicker than the normal 3 amp cables .

Do you have any reference for that 10V 4.5A information? Some say it's 9V 5A but I never saw any official claims from Samsung regarding that too. I have no issues with cables. I'm using 100W BaseUS cables with e-marker chips on them. They don't have the 5A writing on them but they are obviously thicker than the included Samsung cable (which is only for 25W charging). Here are the specs of the 100W BaseUS desktop charger that I have:
As you can see, it does support PD3.0. Although PPS is not written there, it does support it as well as confirmed by BaseUS support and the video that I showed. I don't see 10V anywhere though so I'm not sure how it works with PPS or something. Does PPS adjust the voltage with fine adjustments or something? Also, that doesn't explain the issue I'm having where SFC 2.0 won't work when two USB ports are used. It only works when the phone is charged alone and this defeats the purpose of buying a multi-port charger in the first place.
Go to settings, about phone , and then status information the last entry there is Rated 10 V 4.5 Amp . Yes pps adjusts voltage with fine adjustment of 20mv . It can provide between 3.3 V to 21 V at upto 5 Amp . Your problem seems to be related to the charger itself which is unable to deliver the required power when two usb ports are used . BTW you can use an app called accubattery which should give you the exact charging data for your phone.

Ok, I see that now. Well, @Stenlius replied to this thread and says that this is normal. Any comments on that?
What's more weird though is that when it's charging at sfc 2.0, the cable only shows 33w. When I plug in another device in the charger, it renegotiates to sfc 1.0 but still at 33w!
When I use the official 25w samsung charger with the same cable, it goes down to 24w as expected.
SFC 2.0 - So far I have only seen with the Samsung official chargers. I've spent so much money on Belkin, Baseus, UGreen, Anker accessories and never been able to get peak speeds.

Never had the tools to measure the wattage output.
I just plug and wait for SFC 2.0 to show up, and if it doesn't - I just get rid of it.
I've tried 120W Xiaomi chargers as well.
Max anything other than samsung genuine chargers can go up to is "Fast Charging" or super charging 1.0.
