Coming from samsung devices I have several samsung fast chargers (wall chargers) from note 5, S6 and S7, Plus Belkin car fast charger.
I tried to find out if these wall chargers will work with the G5 or not but it went very complicated for me to know?
And if they will work without any damage, what type of USB type C cables to order?
I appreciate some help as I am confused, I need several chargers due to ny job most of day in the office and in the street.
Thanks
For charging it shouldnt be any diffrent from a normal one.... Try searching Usb Type A to Usb Type c.. is this what you want ?

I have noticed that G5 is rather picky about fast charging adapter. Below are my observations:
Good results:
G5 with G5 adapter (rated 9V 1.8A) - fast charging (2000 mA)
G5 with Nexus6 adapter (rated 12V 1.2A) - fast charging (2000 mA)
G5 with HTC QC 2.0 certified adapter (rated 12V 1.5A) - fast charging (2000 mA)
Bad results:
G5 with Samsung fast charging travel adapter (rated 5V 2A) - slow charging (500 mA)
G5 with Asus fast charging adapter (rated 9V 2A) - slow charging (500 mA)
G5 with Nexus5X fast charging adapter (rated 5V 3A) - slow charging (500 mA)
G5 with Nexus6P fast charging adapter (rated 5V 3A) - slow charging (500 mA)
Also I have noticed that cables do not make any difference to charging: I have 5 different USB TypeA->TypeC cables and 4 different microUSB->TypeC adaptors - they show no difference to charging current at all.

Lg charger on the left. Samsung fast charger on the right. The Samsung one has slightly less output at 9v when compared to the LG fast charger that came with our phone. The first screen shot below is from the LG adapter, the 2nd one is from the Samsung charger. Notice the slightly longer estimated charging time.
The one thing I just noticed while making this comparison is how long it takes for the g5 to calculate the charging time. My s6 edge would show it immediately when you plugged it in.

I don't know if you're stateside or not, but if you are, this guy (Benson Leung) reviews all the cables to make sure they are USB-C Compliant. I only buy his 5-Star approved cables from Amazon.

Anyone seen it?
The ones sold are 1A which is rather slow for charging, i plan on using it for GPS + music so i'm not sure if 1A is enough to charge it.
The only 2A wireless i've found is this:

Ohh, you can purchase a USB car charger with two USB ports. So you can charge you phone with your USB charging cable and also charge your GPS or Tablet.

I meant i use GPS and music on my note 3, So it will charge very slowly or maybe not charging at all if i use 1A wireless
There are a few threads that cover wireless charging. You find some info there. You are not likely to find a 2Amp wireless charger.
- Wireless charging will be slower than wired.
- It is more inefficient and produces more heat
- Most devices are limited to charging at something under 1Amp or even 500mA (as to minimize the heat produced).
- A custom kernel may be able to raise the charging ability of the device, but probably not over 1Amp.
No matter what you do 640ma is the charging current so a 1 amp charger will work fine

2Amp charger powers the pad. The pad puts out 1Amp to the device.
Like I said there are threads discussing wireless chargers in this and in the Note 2 section. The Note 2 section is little older and has lots of info. It even discuss that Samsung charger.
I've been hearing a lot about these 2 amp chargers charging devices really really fast. I heard them talking about it on the podcast also but I was wondering if they were safe to use with this device? If so I'm gonna purchase a few. I don't want to damage my new battery so that's why I'm posting this. Thanks.

I charge my N3 with the original charger (2A/5v) and bought a 2 meter usb cable, its 100% fullly charged in about 1-1,5 hrs i guess.
I have A 4Ah charger but with 4 ports can go as high as 2amps on a single port.
Usually it charges at 1amp.
Intelligent charger so ramps down charge when needed

It looks pretty good!!!!!! but I charge my Note3 with the original charger (2A/5v). Thanks for your post.
The original stock charger 5.3V 2.0A is the fastest, it was made for the note 3, even a 5V 2.0A will be slightly slower.
Do also note that the cable plays an important part in the charging time especially in my case where I'm using a third party cable and charger.
Using the following app, it can show how much current it's currently charging. Here mine, post yours if higher then mine. Can someone post the screenshot using the original samsung usb cable and charger as a reference too?

Just got my Note 3. It charges at 1800mAh on the stock charger (see pic).
It's weird though, because my Galaxy S4 charges at 1900mAh on its stock charger. I assumed that with USB 3.0, the Note 3 would somehow charge at a faster rate.

Thanks for the info. I tried charging with a third party USB3.0 cable and a third party charger and it did reaches to 1800mAh.
Using USB3.0 and USB2.0 cable does make a-bit of difference.
The upcoming Oppo Find 7 have this 4.5A charger that provide a technology call VOOC charging.

USB 3.0 makes a difference only to data transfer and not charging the battery when compared to USB 2.

You are right. USB 3.0, the latest version of USB (Universal Serial Bus), provides better speed and more efficient power management than USB 2.0. USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices; however, data transfer speeds are limited to USB 2.0 levels when these devices inter-operate.
Guys,
I was using "Samsung's Adaptive Fast Car charger" with my S7 and I used it with my S8 which is just charging in regular speed. Does anyone have any suggestion?
Thanks
Hello. I use this one I found on amazon. You have to use the orange port for fast charge though. Works great.

The port is backwards compatible so it fast charges at the 2.0 that the s8 supports..

I have this one and it states it's fast charging when plugged in
I think S8 is only QC 2.0....might be wrong on that. But if true, most QC 3.0 chargers support the 2.0 and 1.0 so you're covered either way with QC chargers
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018HXFN6W/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Got this one when I had my S7 and it works great. Works great with my S8 as well.
Have anyone tried this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B019...ar+charger&dpPl=1&dpID=41a0w8bG80L&ref=plSrch
I got the 3.0 fast charger from Choetech with dual USB ports. It cost me 15.99 on Amazon and it works great!
I can confirm the Anker 3.0 Quick Charge 42W works perfectly. Charges 1 S8 at Fast Charge rate and another at Quick Charge rate without any charger overheating.
Your choice in cable quality is also very important when it comes to charging speed and heat reduction. I use Aukey for 3' lengths and Anker PowerLine+ for 6' lengths with no problems at all. Anker can be a little pricey compared to other brands but I have never had a problem with one of their a/c blocks or 12vdc adapters, and thier warranty for usb cables is great.
I've been using this Anker charger all week after my old one that used to fast charge my S7 started to overheat. No problems so far.
Great feedback. Got me AUKEY dual car charger with QC 3.0
I'm using the official one (EP-LN930CBEGWW) and it does fast charge my S8+ as advertised

I have the one which I bought like an year ago. It can with micro USB cable.
My S8+ says fast charging, but doesn't. 30 minutes later still only 20-30%, even though it says 1:20 total charge time from empty on the screen. On the S7, 30% would be at 50-70% charge.
I know there don't seem to be a lot of 3rd party chargers that are capable of "Super Fast Charging" on the S20, but just wanted to drop a quick note that I found one.
I travel (well usually..) a bit, and try to consolidate my chargers a bit so I'm always on the lookout for decent multi-port adapters. As everyone knows, there are a ton of high powered adapters out there that you would hope give us the juice, but if you have read a bit - Samsung not only requires a PD port, but also PPS - and there aren't a whole of lot of adapters that support them.
I was hoping to pick a new adapter up to try and keep my Surface Go and S20 Ultra charged up, and not be a huge brick and came across this 65W 3-port bad boy: https://amzn.to/2L5d2uf from a company called Baseus. I have a couple of cables from them and they also seem to be popular on Aliepxress as well as Amazon, so decided to give it a try.
Got it in last night and paired it with a new USB 3.1 Gen 2 100W cable that I also just picked up, and lo and behold - I plugged that sucker in and "SUPER FAST CHARGING 2.0" popped up on the screen when using the top USB - C port.
Interestingly enough the second power only registered "SUPER FAST CHARGING" (no 2.0) and the USB-A QC port registered as "FAST CHARGING." Reading through the documentation it's because the first port can give the whole 65W, the second tops at 30W, and of course USB-A is limited. I guess that makes sense since Super Fast 2.0 is 45W with the Samsung OEM charger.
Bottom line, if you are looking for a 3rd party multiport that supports the max charging on the S20 (and I assume Note 10) - this one does the trick. I got mine on Amazon (they had US stock so came relatively quick) - but if you are willing to wait, can probably pick it up on Aliexpress or other source for cheaper.
I bought it for my laptop 4 months ago now its the only charger I use .

Nice! -- my primary use was for my Surface, and I didn't think I'd get the highest charge with the S20U, but was a pleasant surprise.
I got an Ugreen USB C Charger 36W with 2 Type C ports that works as a Super Fast Charger

You can use any PPS PD charger like baseus 65W on aliexpress but super fast 2 will not be real.
Many chargers trigger Super Fast Charging 2.0 but before You will celebrate, please run battery charging monitor from play store. It will draw a charging curve. Almost all non samsung chargers will oscilate. You wil see around 6000ma and after 2-3s it will drop to 500, and again and again.
This can damage your device, and will take a long time to charge

Thanks for the heads up. I ran the app for a few minutes on the BaseUS charger and didn't see any of the dramatic dips as you mentioned above - so I'm hoping that's a good thing. Looks like a pretty consistent curve.

The charging current you are getting is not Super Fast Charging 2.0 even though it says so in your notification bar. This is mine with Super Fast Charging 2.0 using the Samsung charger and cable. Battery Charging Monitor will report a higher charging current.
Also wanted to add that the Xiaomi Powerbank 3 Pro with USB PD will charge the S20 Ultra at Super Fast Charging 2.0 and at 5A with the supplied samsung cable. And aftermarket Baseus USB C cable only gives 3A.

Interesting -- well, I guess my takeaway is that it isn't TRUE 2.0 super fast - but also it hopefully won't fry my battery! (i.e. not as fast as I'd like, but at least not going to damage the battery).

I tried my test with a couple of 100W-rated USB 3.1 gen 2 cables - so it definitely wasn't the cables. But goes to show that cables are an important part of the equation too!
SFC 2.0 require e-marked cables to work, as well as compatible pps charger.
IMHO the best option is to get 45w samsung charger. Other brands are hit or miss.
Hello, I just got this phone a couple of days ago, basically i migrated from a OnePlus 6 to this Nord 2 and I'm liking it very much so far for the price all things considered, tedious bugs and all.
The gist of it, is it normal for it to charge this slow? I'm using my old 20w dash charge adapter, because imported it from the UK, it came with said adapter and my country does not support that kind of wall plug outlet and I refuse to use an adapter/extender because it won't stick to the wall it's just too heavy.
Did some reading, and I disabled optimized night charging/high performance mode. I figured using an old adapter would be slower than the new one, but are those readings normal?
Also i noticed the Warp Charge animation appears on lock screen but just the blue bubble then it disappears, no Warp Charge logo.
I plan on getting both wall and car warp chargers, in the meantime I'll be using my regular 20w dash chargers.
Thanks in advance.

I can at least confirm that the original second (and last?) generation carplug (12V charger) is also veeeeeeeeeeery slow. It takes at least 2,5 hours from 0 to 100. The 230V plug charges 0-100 in exactly 29 minutes

I'm getting 500mA (2.5W USB base current) when asleep, and 1A (5W) when awake. It's definitely buggy, should always pull 1A even when the screen is off. The phone doesn't seem to have PD, so there's no way to get 15/18W on ordinary PD charger.
Remember that accubattery only reads from a single cell of your battery;
The OPN2 has 2 cells and charges both simultaneously, so it's likely accubattery is only reporting half speed, to one cell, and isn't detecting charge to the other cell, which is half of the battery in this case.
For example, accubattery will likely report your battery health/capacity is only 50% (more often lower), because each cell is 2250 mah, and the total advertised design capacity of the OPN2 is 4500 mah, but is really 2250 mah per cell, and has 2 cells.
This is part of oneplus's warp charge technology, which is really just a rebrand of their sister company's, but it's essentially a 32.5w charge to both cells, which is much easier than providing 65w to a single cell.
Also, do note warp charge only works with the official red cable and the official oneplus charger provided in the box, as the charging circuit in the cable and charger will limit your speed with third party charger/cables as they have not been verified to handle these charging speeds.
Funnily enough even if you have an OPPO cable and charger, which utilizes the same technology, warp charge on oneplus phones still won't activate and it'll charge at a much slower 20w (10w per cell)

VOOC 2.0 (20W 5V/4A) vs S-VOOC 2.0 (65W 10V/6.5A). The OS reported current is always current over both cells, whether it be parallel or in series depends on VOOC version.
