The phone was designed to be charged with 2 Ampere. If you are charging it with more than that, you are responsible if the battery life will shorten or the phone will blow up :good:

sorry but I am new to battery stuffs.
when you said 2 Ampere, did you mean 2000 Ampere? So I should be charging with 2000 Ampere?

2A is correct. 2000mA == 2A.
You're charging at your own risk while going over 2A.

But I don't get it, I read in a different post that Xiaomi
disabled QC 2.0 and even 3.0 is because it will cost them
more money to license it with qualcom. In result. the low price of our device.
so our phone is supposed to have QC 2.0

It has QC 2.0 which is disabled. To make it work, you will have to flash CyanogenMod. Maybe a custom kernel for MIUI will also work
No... It supports quick charge which is what stock charger provides =2000mA=2A
Qualcomm SD650 supports qc3.0, but xiaomi didnt pay license to qcomm, so we dont have it.
This guys just unlocked it..to more then 2A...but its not safe to charge over 2.4A, because it will heat much more. With 2A gou get full battery in around 2h which is not bad.
I don't understand this discussion at all. If you stress a device above levels considered safe by the OEM, you *OF COURSE* can damage it! What did you expect?
So my phone charges at 2.4A even though I selected 2A when I flashed the Radon Kernel. I'm using the Ampere amp to measure current. Before I flashed the Radon kernel, Ampere showed that I charged at 2A. Anyone else seeing this?
As long as you use stock charger it has no dangerous effect, i too use a script to maximize charging current, my device doesnt heat up . on my lockscreen i got message like "charging rapidly , xx minutes remaining" , and guess what, the xx number is actually not accurate because the charging time is like 1,5x faster .
I think you are wrong!

The fast charging feature needs extra integrated chips which would increase the price of phone, hence Xiaomi quit to get the chips integrated! It's not software related thing which can be unlocked or locked by flashing a rom!

i just got this phone a few days ago. i love it. nothing wrong with it.
super fast and everything. im on 2.3.6. no issues. my battery lasts 12 hours easy. and actually up to 26 hours so far.
i dont even feel the need for a custom rom. at least not for now.
but one thing that makes me mad is how slow the phone charges, anyone know why this is ? it's kinda frustrating lol
any way to change this ?
also....i kinda hate that there is no camera button on the actual phone. oh well.
*Edited*
well i dont like to charge unless my battery is on red. so that conflicts, its not always red when i go to sleep. but thanks i'll check it out.
and i dont want to unlock to camera. it's easier to take photos with a button is what im saying

If I remember correctly waiting till the battery is completely depleted is not a good thing for our batteries.
i never said completely depleted though.
and yea ive read so many reviews to not do that, and reviews that say you should... and reviews to charge it this much and that much and blah blah. may be a new phone, but none of this is new to me.
Charge current is hardware limited from what I've read. Or atleast for the time being. If your using the phone while charging it'll be significantly slower. Also using wallplug makes a difference. If you've got stuff running while charging try throttling down the CPU while charging.
Other than that I think our phone is limited to 650mah to charge. So 1650/650 is about 2.5 hours with perfect efficiency. Now take into account the power being drawn and how the chargers for li batteries work, that's about 3-4 hrs to be expected.
And don't run li batteries all the way down on a regular basis, its not good. I'm not positive on li ion batteries, but with lipo you generally want to use about %80 of rated capacity to prolong life and power of the cell.
400 mA on USB, 650 on a wall charger, CPU/screen usage counts against these limits - no way to change this
Forgot where I read it. Could be wrong too.
Slow charging for this phone was samsungs way of keeping our phones battery in shape. Hopefully prolonging the life of it. I noticed my 3GS lose about 20% of its full capacity in a couple years. Only time will tell?
Siyah has an option to upping the charging mA I believe.

all useful responses and all make sense. thank you guys.
i dont use it when it charges and yea it does take about 4 hours to charge.
coming from a crappy xperia x10 which took about 2 hours to charge from 0 to 100
but this phone is 10 times better even without a custom rom so i can deal.
thank you guys for ur knowledge.

He removed it because it turned out not to work. (If it's still there I'm surprised - it should be completely gone.)
It turns out the I9100 has the same limitation as the I777 - charging is handled not by the MAX8997, but by a MAX8922.

If you are on Entropy's DD kernel you should divide that number by 2.85
Battery charge current monitoring (CurrentWidget) support - only reports charge current and not discharge, and reports a value 2.85 times the actual current. Use CurrentWidget's "operation on value" to divide by 2.85.

hi,i just bought new 2.1A charger for my S3 and with current widget it shows 999mA charging rate. so S3 dont charge faster even I have better charger? Because when I play some games with wifi on and brightness on 50 percent with charging my battery % dont go up but slowly go down :/
1A is the limit. Some kernels allow it to go up to 1100
ok, now understand. maybe I can rise by myself that rate? or its dangerous for phone or batttery? Or only kernel devs can do it? Now Im using siyah kernel

Your choice but phone can only explode once and custom kernel = no warranty .

oh, I dont need see explode on my table. so maybe I leave like that.
LoL don't worry about your phone exploding.
I've been fast charging for the last 6 months.
There are no adverse effects. No increase in Battery temp while charging and no effect on Battery longevity.
You can safely go up to 1500 with either Yanks or Perseus Kernel
If you choose perseus don't switch off the failsafe.
Don't expect anything dramatic though. I would say that there is a10 to 15% reduction in charge time.
You will notice a much bigger effect with usb fast charge if you increase that from the stock 450 to 1000. Especially when using a car charger.

Yes I am , thank you, cause the slow charge issue was elaborated and mentioned so many time around XDA but seems no one cares to search and read.
This phone with and with original charger, and AFTER teh update from Gingerbread to ICS/JB is charging as per specs. On Gingerbread there was a flaw that permitted to charge it upto 900-1000 mA but the phone was rather hot, I recall charging mine in an hour and a half or 15-20 minutes more, from 2-3% to 100% back when phone had GingerBread.

You can use 2.1A output chargers too, it is simply not going to draw all that but you might get the better on the go recharging while you're using the phone with heavy apps. Just think of the dual car chargers - they have both 1A (phone) and 2.1A (tablet) output. SatNav on 1A is zeroing or still draining your phone battery, while 2A can slowly charge it on the go.
You just give it a needed juice and if the discharge is so greater then recharge, there's not much you can do about it.
Call it a flaw, but Samsung did it cause of longevity of their batteries and li-ion technology.
That is why I indicated iCrap and BB - their fast charge is provoking rather fast discharge too cause the battery will not hold it. I have colleagues with BB who're charging in an hour but get their phones depleted in 3 hours of usage... I wouldn't want that from my S2 for sure. :good:

It doesn't matter what the output current of the charger is... the phone will only draw 650mA.
The charger I got with my S2 delivers 1A but my phone only draws 650mA. Actually the hardware doesn't support it.
IMO, 3hrs is pretty fast for a full charge.
Edit: Just noticed that Fevves already mentioned all that...
adressing sfafrorn
Some kernels have the Option to change the charge rate but even at 650mA the phone will get very hot if you are doing something on it while charging

sony xperia z2 doesnt support fast charging and even with mods installed it charges in about the same time (thats based off of my experience)
typically charging time ranges between 40 mins and 3hrs peaking at 1400Mah Maximum

ive found the fastest way to charge my phone is to put it in aeroplane mode and to stop all apps that shouldent be running
(some things i find helpful
- thicker usb cables
- shorter usb cables
- wallchargers that can push alot of power
- try plugging straight into a wall as laptops/computers/etc are slower)

My phone maxes out at 1A oddly using either the stock EP880 1.5A, a Samsung 1.9A and an external battery 2.1A (all 5V). But on CM based ROMs they max at 1.4A as expected. Tried installing the QC hack for LB (UB method doesn't support .232) but no noticeable difference.
Ohh.. Okay
When I've been using some chineese 2.0A charger I could see the results. The phone was charging faster without any mods.

Isn't Fast Charging Bad For The Battery?
That would depend on the battery's C rating. Charging at higher rates doesn't necessarily cause damage. There are plenty of articles on charging lithium ion/poly cells out there.
In my previous S7 Edge , the battery lost plenty of juice in just one year of usage ( i was using wireless charging only). Then i sent it to samsung warranty and they replace battery. Tried to find something about if could be the wireless charging that damaged the battery and found none that supported that theory.
Now, with the S8, i´m using the provided charger and cable only (Just to be safe).

Wireless is different due to the losses in the induction, creating heat, which does have some affect. But there are a lot of variables as to why your battery performance may have degraded.

Right... it seems every day someone thinks they know more than engineers in that field, battery is getting hot so it must be bad. Yet every year qualcomm and others improve quick charging for even faster charging, so unless someone actually knows something these threads should just stop.

Why would you assume its bad for the battery in the first place? Just because it gets hot? The cpu also gets hot when gaming so i should stop gaming?

What gets hot? Who said anything about hot?
Hey, don't take it badly, he is just asking. I remember old batteries (for example ni-mh) if you charge it at a high current they use to live less than if you charged them at a slow one (i remember using rechargable batteries of this time for my wii control and i could test it with how long they lasted).
I think the new Li-ion (or better) batteries nowadays don't suffer from this, so you should be safe about them. They have a natural capacity loss thats isnt affected about the rest of the things. You should anyway check for faulty chargers or your battery life, remember all the test samsung makes are with their original hardware.
Regards!

This is someone not knowing what they're taking about trying to talk down on someone else.
Anyways heat has always been detrimental to battery health which is why samsung fast wireless chargers have fans built in to keep the heat low. Along with this the phone will prevent charging if it passes a certain heat threshold I believe 40c iirc and also the phone uses adaptive charging to prevent over heating of the phone with the included fast charger and charging circuit design. As long as the phone continues to regulate the charge coming into the phone fast charging shouldn't hurt. Of course with fast charging you go through battery cycles faster but this is just because you can charge it a lot more times than with regular charging.
My personal experience:
- 2 years of fast charging = battery drain between 100 and 90 very much noticable
- charging over night causes more damage than fast charging
