Just FYI I just bought this http://www.ebay.com/itm/190961745241 and it fast charges my G2. It has model number ETA-U90JWE on the unit. Just thought I'd pass that along since I was having so many problems finding the right charger/cord combo that would fast charge.

Thanks! Just bought one as a backup charger
I got two of those a week or so ago myself from eBay (same model charger ETA-U90JWE, different seller, etc.) and can confirm that they QuickCharge. I was a bit worried after reading some reviews on Amazon.com that there are knockoffs of the same model that perform poorly but I guess I got lucky.
Those that have it -- does the USB cable work with the original charger too? and with other 2amp chargers (like my car charger)? I always leave a AC charger in my car just in case, but if it's going to take 5 hours to charge my phone, it becomes pretty pointless unless I'm staying overnight somewhere.
This is okay but remember kids. Slow charging is much better for your battery

Yes, the white cables that came with it do fast charge (tested with both these new Samsung charges and stock LG unit). From 10% to full charge in about 90 minutes.

Thanks. Ordered!
Nothing sucks worse than going out and having a dead phone.
Although I'm up to 30 hours so far and have used only 63%
Has anyone found a car charger that will fast charge? I now have 4 chargers that claimed they would but will not. My wife's work phone has that charge above. It works great.

Charging times with any electronic device are dependent on amperage. Find a charger that is 2amps and you should be set. It will say on the box.

Lies! These aren't ****ty old NiCa batteries. If it doesn't heat bad, which i haven't experienced in fast charge, its perfectly fine. Screw the base brick, I'm just trying to find a single USB 3.0 (needed) supported cable that supports 1800mA. Not one that runs over 800mA and doesn't pop slow charge, but one That fully utilizes all the mA's. Can aubergine post a SS of the mA reading please?

Here is one I ordered from Amazon, it arrived today.
http://www.amazon.com/reVOLT-c2-Dua...=1384487213&sr=8-3&keywords=scosche+revolt+c2
I just tested it: I have a 110v wall plug to cigarette charger socket adapter. Plugged my old cig charger into it, used the white usb cables I described in a previous post in this thread, and got slow charge message. Then I took out that old cig charger and plugged in the new Scosche reVolt c2, used the same cable and got no slow charge message. Watched it for 2 minutes and it went up 2% (so I consider that QuickCharge).
Thanks

Just bought one of these. Thanks smacklayer!!!
Weird. This thing is picky. The usb cable with my 2.0a csr charger charges at around 900mha, but plugged in using the samsung ac adapter it slow charges at 30mha... but once in awhile it goes at 800 to 900
Thanks smacklayer - I bought one just like yours on eBay.
One has to be careful not to get a gray market knock-off, but it's hard to tell exactly. Even on Amazon, there are lots of complaints of chargers that appear to be OEM but aren't.
BTW: how does one tell if their G2 is NOT "fast charging"? Is there some indication?
I have a PowerGen 2A car charger with usb cable that I purchased a year ago for my N7. I plugged my G2 in the other day and I didn't see any visual cues that something was "slow charging" and it appeared to charge just as fast as the LG G2-supplied charger. So, I've been wondering about a "fast" or "slow" charging indicator.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

They have these available at every Walgreens, I can confirm they work with 2A chargers. I know they are ugly and awkward but if you're in a pinch and need one right away these are easy to find. Usually found around the register area.

i am very pleased with my motorola turbo charger that accompany my nexus 6 and i would like a second one (european edition). Where can i find one? (i have searched everywhere i can!!) Any help is appreciated
I'm not sure about European ones but I would check amazon.co.uk or which ever countries amazon you are in. I have 4 Qualcomm quick charge 2.0 chargers (2 Motorola, 1 incipio and 1 power partners) they all work the same so brand doesn't matter as long as it's quick charge 2.0 certified. I would recommend not buying the Motorola version because its expensive compared to other brand and its rather large in comparison. One of my chargers supports the higher voltage (20v quick charge) but no device so far can take advantage of it just yet. I would just search for quick charge 2.0 and see what pops up unless you are dead set on the Motorola one. Below is a picture of the Motorola vs the Power Partners one.
Couple of weeks ago I've bought Aukey turbo charger on Amazon.de.
Seems to work just fine, but comes without micro usb cable, so make sure to
have proper one (for turbo charging) or buy one.
There seems to be a few new options slowly coming onto amazon.
Anker makes a single port charger for like 20 bucks.
Personally I am waiting for someone like anker to make a multi-port charger that supports QC 2.0 across the 4 to 6 charging ports.
Basically this with upgraded internals.

There should be a plethora of quick charge 2.0 compatible chargers since Qualcomm isn't charging a licensing fee to use the technology. Give it time and there will be more. I know in the US there are 30+ different QC 2.0 chargers on Amazon so the other country specific ones should follow suit.
Can anyone tell me if the Samsung Adaptive Fast charger will work as well as a licensed charger? I only want to know because I like the fact that it is all white and a few Amazon reviews point out that some of the aftermarket versions burned out the charger port or phone. I know that the adaptive charger will be faster than others, but will it be as fast as the stock Moto charger?

Its a QC 2.0 charger assuming your talking about the one that comes with the Note 4. It's even on Qualcomms website if you look for it under quick charge form what I remember. It should work just fine, do you have a link to the Amazon page? Its odd how people claim it burned out their outlets but things happen.

Sure: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/cr/B00QTJZ3D0/ref=mw_dp_cr?qid=1425351571&sr=8-6
3 on that page. I think there was one on aukey that a person had updated but I can't find it now. I specifically remember it because they had rated a 5 and came back to update it.
I've looked everywhere on the quick charge page. I don't see the note 4 charger on there. They always run half off coupons, so it would be cheap when back in stock, plus it's not a knockoff if you but straight from Sammy. It's weird because it maxes at 2 or 5v I think instead of 9v like the others. (My numbers may be off on voltage but Sammy's is lower than Motorola)
If not, maybe Motorola will run an accessories sale sometime this decade.

I have no issues with the other QC 2.0 chargers that I run. I read those reviews and I personally wouldn't trust that company given the number if people with complaints until they fix what's causing the issues. I have 2 Motorola QC's a Power Partners one and finally a Incipio QC car charger. I haven't had any issues with any of them and the Power Partners one is rated at a max of 30W. I haven't seen my Nexus 6 go beyond 9V personally so the 20V and 12V that it offers won't really matter until devices support that. I would go with one that people have tried without issues to play it safe. If you own a Samsung phone they do give half off when you register it on their site if I remember correctly. Its been a while since I've owned any Samsung phone besides my wife's S5 which we got rid of a while ago. I use my car quick charge daily and I haven't had any issues at all. I stopped caring about seeing how much battery I could squeeze out of my phone and instead I bleed it dry so to speak then quick charge it when it drops below 50%. I carry my spare Moto charger in my backpack and it works fine (I got it for free using a $50 gift card to Motos site) otherwise I wouldn't psy $35 for another one.

I think I read somewhere that they don't even go up to 6, but I could be wrong. Thanks for the insight. I might get a certified, but I would still like to know if the Samsung Adaptive Fast Charger will work the same as the Motorola Turbo Charger for the Nexus 6.

Voltages go in steps usually 5,9,12,20V for phone chargers but the actual charging voltage may vary. If I I recall correctly it does charge at 9V but only in certain situations.
Multi-Port charger w/ QC 2.0 capability

Looks like there is one now. Only 2 of the ports have QC 2.0.
Hi guys, I'm just wondering did anyone else had this problem. My Redmi note 4MTK already killed 3 chargers in a month (NOTE: The phone it self is only a month old. Bought at 3rd of April) And its not bad chargers or anything I used 2x LG G2,3,4 1.8a - 5v chargers and one 1a-5v charger.
I got scared from this fact of it killing chargers at this rate. So i gave it to the service center to get fixed.
But would be nice to know if anyone else having / had this problem and might know how to fix it!

Sounds like a faulty unit that should be replaced or fixed by official means before it does some real damage. I mainly use mine will the charger it comes with, which is always recommended. I have used it with other different chargers but not had any issues.
Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk
The redmi note 4 manual states that it uses a 5V 2 Amp charger, also stated on the page http://www.mi.com/in/note4/specs/. If the charger cant give the current needed, it can burn the internal tracks of the charger, burn the internal components of the charger, or in case it can hold then it would drop the output voltage, so there are several cases of why a 1 amp charger can get damaged.

Well i'm pretty sure that phone has a module that recognize the output of the charger and sets the voltage as needed. So it shouldn't just keep any charger at 5v-2a

Yea i already sent it to the service center, It should get back to my hands hopefully in a week or two.
Avoid using those 1amp and cheap charger, they will get hot and cause unwanted problem, also if both the charger and the phone'battery got hot then avoid using that charger.
I have Redmi Note 4X. I use two charger that i trust: Aukey PA-T9 and RAVPower RP-PC017. Never had a problem with these two, as of the original mi charger i just kept it the the box.

The phone didn't come with the original charger, They gave me an replacement one. Which already exploded. And in this situation it doesn't matter original or 3rd party. There are better chargers then Original like Anker's , Tronsmart's etc.
Okay got the phone back, Seems to run more stable in the mean the charger doesn't get as hot as it was before. I'll try updating in the next few days if it does any more problems!
I have seen many people complaining about their 27w Xiaomi charger with problem of not turbo charging, low charging current, overheat, dont work with 20w charger, and etc. And I one of the these guys too. I have ordered two times 27w loosepack charger from chinese online shop and all are fakes. They dont give me consistent turbo charging and dont charge faster than 18w! This pissed me off because there are so many loosepacks out there and the original ones comes from 20w wireless charging bundling box, from mi 9 chinese box, or from 27w charger with box packaging which none of that chinese online shop sell that, all only loosepack which high risk of counterfeits.
Yesterday I bought the 27w charger with box in my local online shop. The seller told me he got the charger from local store in china and bought it to my country. After the charger arrives i tested in and yeah finally I got the original one. I always get "charge turbo" whenever i charge and measurement in ampere App can reach 4800mA which I never get even 3000mA with 18w or that fake 27w one.
So I made a comparison video of those original vs fake charger. I hope it can help you guys who experienced same like me and want to find the original ones. Here is my youtube video link:
https://youtu.be/xx-P6BxZzkU
If you want to see video later, here is also attached the quick glance of my both orig and fake ones. They do have difference in printing quality. And the Ampere screenshot of original charger for reference.

If you want get the original one, you need to buy charger with official packaging box. Can be a bundle with 20w wireless, or standalone with box like i bought, but its very rare.
Specifically: aliexpress. Search the shop and see the feedbacks. Look for shop which can provide 20w wireless bundling in one box
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32976262381.html
I bought that bundle like 20 days ago, it should aerrive by next week at max.
But i got the "traveler charger" (Xiaomi 1A1C) which comes with a Usb Type C and Normal USB port.
Hopefully it charges correctly i will let u know but for now the bad comments i have read just say that they cannont turbo charge using the type C Port.

Yes 30w if you use the type c connector or at least that what they claim.
But since max supported for our device is 27w it is kinda useless.

Nope, it wont work. 20W wireless is working only with MDY-10.

Can your 30w charger turbo charge mi 9?
So, anyone has a link to a reliable and tested seller on aliexpress for the 27w charger?
Here's a post to a review of the original 27 W charger ordered from Alixepress. I saw his review on a German forum too. You can also see a screenshot from the Ampere app. Looks legit. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79569598&postcount=87
Direct link to Alixepress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32974660297.html
You can also check reviews there, several people wrote that Charging Turbo works, you can also see it in their photos.
Personally, I've order the charger from here a week ago: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33001884969.html
Almost every photo review shows Charge Turbo, so hopefully it's true. I just have to wait until it arrives to try it out.
@arddy1, very nice post, a very detailed comparison. Thanks you!
I was convinced that mine was ok because I see "Charging Turbo" on the Mi9 every time I connect the charger. But looking to the charger details it actually matches the fake one you shown in your video. So I decided to perform some more tests.
- I tried to use a USB voltage/current meter but when I use it then I don't get "Charging Turbo" anymore, which means it blocks somehow some communication between the charger and the phone, could it be?
- in Ampere I can only get 2600mA, while using by cheap 2USD QC 3.0 charger I can get 3200mA;
- since this charger is effectively recognized by the phone with "Charging Turbo", I suppose the problem with the fake one is not the "protocol" or compatibility, but the amount of current it can send to the phone, what do you think?
The final test will be to perform a full charge with both my QC 3.0 and this one to see the difference.
My main concern now is: being a fake charger, is it safe to use it? may it damage the phone? What do you think?
I happen to have both with line and without, and both are working the same Both give turbo charge mode with cable and with wireless charger every time, i would never thought that one might be fake if haven't seen this post.
UPD. I checked were from i have ordered the original : https://www.aliexpress.com/store/3470060?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dazyZc0
I have got 27w+cable+20w wireless charger+eu plug, from that store and they came in one package. So i don't know if only the charger will be original. It was shipped ~10 days to Israel.

But did you actually measure the current with Ampere? In my case it seems I also have a fake one but I always get turbo charge mode as well. However when I measured the actual current in Ampere App I can see that the original 18w charger gives more current/power to the phone than the 27w one.
If possible use Ampere to measure if and report the results.

Just measure the charge time in my case if i remember right, 27w charges the phone ~1 hour and charger witch came with phone i didn't measure exactly but i think it something like 1 hour 40 minutes.
As for Ampere it shows ~1500 Ma and ~4.5v on 90% battery level on both chargers and both cables witch came with the chargers. And yes in Israel we have 220-240v power supply, don't remember exactly but i think it's same as Europe. For 5 minutes that i have checked the phone charged to 92% level

You should measure it when charge is still below 50%, after that charging current starts to drop.
It might be the case yours is a very good fake charger
I will also compare charging times with mine and the. post the results in a couple of days.
Hello guys,
I bought and recieved this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33000669695.html
And it shows "Charge Turbo" as well as about 4700-5000ma using Ampere.
Hope it helps

I was convinced that mine was ok because I see "Charging Turbo" on the Mi9 every time I connect the charger. But looking to the charger details it actually matches the fake one you shown in your video. So I decided to perform some more tests.
- I tried to use a USB voltage/current meter but when I use it then I don't get "Charging Turbo" anymore, which means it blocks somehow some communication between the charger and the phone, could it be?
- in Ampere I can only get 2600mA, while using by cheap 2USD QC 3.0 charger I can get 3200mA;
- since this charger is effectively recognized by the phone with "Charging Turbo", I suppose the problem with the fake one is not the "protocol" or compatibility, but the amount of current it can send to the phone, what do you think?
The final test will be to perform a full charge with both my QC 3.0 and this one to see the difference.
My main concern now is: being a fake charger, is it safe to use it? may it damage the phone? What do you think?

Phone showing charge turbo or not is not determined by the current. I have tested both mode in fake charger, the currents are almost same. It may be determined by that protocol or compatibility thing. When the cable is plugged in and your phone detects that charger is compatible, it will trigger turbo charging mode and allowing more currents to enter inside. But in fake chargers, although it have been already allowed, the charger hardware dont have capability to do that.
I can't test current using usb meter too because it caused the phone cant read the charger compatibility. So in the video i compare currents with app ampere. As long the voltage in app are about same, it can be compared.
About safe or not, i recommend you not to use it. The temperature in fake ones is noticeably higher when charging than the original, even the original has bigger output current.
Help,
I have tried 3 different chargers (1 generic Anker, 1 supplied with Huawei P30 pro, and one supplied with Huawei mediapad tablet. none work
Nor does plugging into USB port on PC. I have tried various different cables to no avail. All cables work to charge P30 pro from its own charger @40 watts.
All chargers and USB port will charge the P30 pro
The only way I can get any juice at all into this bugger is by charging from the P30 pro directly.
I also noticed that the security update that installed last night took forever (roughly 4 hours) during 'optimising apps' phase.
Have tried factory reset too
I think I've got a dud

It sure sounds that way.
Having the same problem. Pixel 6 regular edition. Will only charge when the phone is turned off.

Mine wouldn't even charge when the phone was off. it would show the battery symbol with 'lightning' but wouldnt actually charge - you could see the battery level drop in this state
Google are not being helpful about getting a replacement or even admitting there's a fault yet. I might just send it back and get a refund

I've figured out the problem. I have the P30 Pro charger and two Samsung chargers which are all USB A. None of them worked. What did work was a Huawei laptop USB C charger. It seems from reading elsewhere there's a good chance that USB A chargers won't work with the Pixel.
I thought Google hadn't included a charger with the Pixel for environmental reasons. Seems like many people will be forced to buy a new charger for their Pixel, thus defeating the point.

Blimey, that works. I'm a little annoyed I can't just plug it into my PC and slowly charge it overnight. but this saves the hassle of dealing with Googles useless support. Indeed the 'help article' I was directed to says to plug it into a PC as part of the fault finding.
Will anyone else's Pixel 6 (non pro) charge from PC USB connection??

It was probably a huge mistake for them to not include a charger with it.
yes, your charger needs to support PD 3.0 PPS charging to get the fastest charging possible on the pixels

Don't believe buddy above. This is not normal. Every phone I've ever had with usb-c works with a usb-a to usb-c cable. It charges and transfers data just fine. I also use one on my car stereo to phone for Android auto. Your phone is a dud. Get a replacement.

The guy above didn't say it wouldn't charge at all with a regular charger or wire. He said for ***fastest charging possible*** you need PD3.

There is more than one guy above. The one I am referring to is quoted above for your viewing pleasure.
Hi, just to confirm, my Pixel 6 will only charge from USB-C charger. I was hoping if someone could confirm whetehr theirs charges from a PC with USB-A to USB-C cable.
I admit it doesn't sound right that this won't work
Thanks

Mine charges without any issue at a PC with USB-A to USB-C cable from Anker.

Mine does fast charge from the laptop USB-C connector, or even directly from the laptop power brick. The laptop is an Asus rog x 13 flow. If I am not wrong, in order to fast charge, your source has to support usb pd pps.
I'm sitting at work and my P6 charges just fine with a wall wart and a USB-A to USB-C cord. Not only that, but it's an LG wall wart that I have probably had since my LG G3 days (a long, long time ago). So even old power supplies will work.
If your phone isn't charging from a computer USB port, I suspect it is because of the amount of power being supplied by the laptop over the USB port. It's not a built in limitation of the phone however.

what should I see under battery settings?
I see charging rapidly with my 30W charger. The Anker charger reads PPS but I am not entirely sure it's PD 3.
thanks!

PPS is a standard that started with pd 3.0. Your charger is the correct one for fast charging.
so do we have any charger recommendations? the 3 i tried, after processing through AMERE, they are topping out at 15w-18w...
I just posted about one I think should work in another thread, should find out soon if I was right lol
