Fast Charging - Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers

Just came from a nexus 6p and with that phone I got a fast charging notification on my lock screen when I was using my USB C charger, I've still got my nexus charger and I've got a quick charge 3 car charger now that I've tried with my swift 2.
Both chargers do charge quicker than a standard charger but I was just wondering if the swift is supposed to display a fast charging notification as mine doesn't seem to.
What do you guys use to charge these mobiles?
Got to say the battery life is really good and my phi e is now lasting all day were I was having to charge my 6p all the time.

Since nougat, the fast charging label in the lockscreen is gone, although the phone does charge using QC3.0 (Personally checked with my chargers). Also, you can check the voltage and amp input using apps like Ampere.

Cool, I was just unsure about the notification not being there, my phone updated to android N as soon as I got it so had nothing to compare it to.

Mine shows rapid charging when use QC 3.0 Aukey charger [emoji3]

Slow charging connected to unoriginal chargers?

Is this any true? I guess there was a reason why HTC devs put this, but I don't see any radical differences between the original charger and unoriginal ones...
Apparently it does charge it slower but if you use it, it will charge the battery like normal without doing any harm to the phone. Though it's best to use the oem charger.

I've got an HP 2.1 Ah adapter that I use with the DNA & does just fine. I think it might refer to the amount of amps being put out. I don't use any chargers less than 1 Ah.

Yes it is true, it was implemented with the software update. They used to simply check the data pins. Data pins shorted = fast charge (Current > .5 Amp), not shorted = slow charge (.5 Amp). This was done because the USB spec says devices can't have more than .5 Amps of current from a computer's USB ports. After the update they are checking something else though. I have several chargers that still charge fast but one dual charger rated at 2.1 amp that will now only charge slow. The charge rate won't be a problem if you're charging overnight but if you're trying to charge and use the phone at the same time you could potentially still be draining the battery but at a slower rate. The best example of this I can think of is someone like me who uses the phone in the car to stream music and navigate with GPS and screen turned on. Some of the custom kernels will override the charge current limit. This is no problem if the charger can handle it but is a potential hazard to your computer's USB ports.

Just got the Anker Powercore+ . It's a monster
http://the-gadgeteer.com/2016/03/13/anker-powercore-26800-quick-charge-2-0-usb-wall-charger-review/
Since Z5 premium is quick chargeable device, I will recommend you AUKEY QUALCOMM CERTIFIED 16000MAH QUICK CHARGE 3 POWERBANK QC3.0
I have been using this powerbank for months and it works fine.
Compared to other power banks that do not come with Qualcomm Quick Charge technology, this power bank really provides a faster and stable charge.
However, it is quite heavy for regular users, or maybe you can buy a smaller one but of course, comes with smaller battery capacity.
You can Google it for more reviews, but for me, it is the best power bank I have ever used.

Does desktop battery cradle charger quickcharge?

Does the LG OEM desktop battery cradle charger quickcharge the battery if you use the LG OEM fast charger?
The desktop cradle from the promotion and the original charger included with the phone.
I thought QC was associated with the CPU chip and how it controls the voltage as the associated battery charges. Since there's no CPU chip in the desktop charger, I would not think it would.

Well there's some kind of "intelligence" in the desktop charger. There's a button and 3 LEDs that indicate the charge level. During charging it flashes how charged it is and how much is being charged (ie totally dead, 1 LED flashes; 1/3rd charged 1 solid LED, 1 flashing LED; etc), and with no charger attached if you press the button the charger lights up how charged the battery inside it is. Of course I'm not sure how that is handled, whether there is a chip or what and even if there is a chip, whether it's capable of whatever is required for the QC logic; but it's why I asked.
Here's an easy way to figure it out. If it takes ~80min to go from 0-100, there's QC (v2.0 at least) in play. If it takes longer, it's not doing fast charging.
During charging just wake the screen, there is a message stating charging, or fast charging, then you will know.

Ummm I think you misunderstood the question. We're talking about the desktop battery charger. You charge the battery in it and the phone is not involved. No screen. No notification.
I haven't tested the 80 minutes thing but I'm guessing it's not quickcharging.

I through you mean the official desktop stand charger you put the phone on, so you are referring to the battery cradle. ok I understand.
I decided to finally open my cradle and extra battery and hooked it up to my QC3.0 charger along with a volt/ammeter. It pulls at 1.5A, 5V only. So decidedly NO, it is not a QC capable chargee.

65 watt charger

Hello,
Can I use my usb-c laptop charger to charge my Poco F1 ?

It will act as a fast charger or it will brick my phone?
Thank you.

No.You will brick your phone.
It does say that it can do 5V at 2A, so that is phone charging terirtory, but i dont know if the charger can detect the required power. Its risky but may work.
it'll probably work
but I've seen arduinos fry because they were plugged into the USB C port on the newest macbook while it was plugged into the charger
I often charge my Poco with my 65W charger. No Problem so far.
Even my OnePlus Wireless Bullets I charge with the 64W charger
Not responsible if your burn your house down or something lol
I use 65 watt lappy charger ....n it also show "Turbo Charger" .. no warning sign.... So no prblm to use i think
The phone and adapter should communicate with each other. It will pull only as much as the phone requests. I've used a Motorola 25 watt charger on my phone...and the measured pull is only 18W.
But it's better to be safe than sorry.
Even you use 500W charger if it will launch in Future. Poco F1 will gonna take only upto 18W power to charge itself.
you will damage your hardware! it supports 18w only!
you question can be viewed as, can i insert direct wire from wal socket to phone?
The phone is the one that decides how much power it wants to get. The charger just provides whatever it has to offer that's why these brick chargers have lots of modes set as it's output. There's should be no problem hooking your phone to these power bricks as every power needs proper handshake before delivery.
in my mi6 i used one from hp, works ultra fast!, but the phone is overheating, is dangerous, seems like to explote
if this was 10 years ago you will probably fry your phone, but nowadays smartphones are really smart. they will determine the best and maximum voltage/ampere to charge themselves.

there is my link or search like wireless s7 charger XD
Get some charger right now ! have a fun with charging !
Hello! I also got a wireless charger same as yours, from the guy I bought my S7. What really is annoying me is that the phone gets too hot while charging and I'm not sure that is very good for battery. Also it charges slower than cable charger, so I'd abandoned it in a box.

I understand completely. I opted to spend a little more and get one that not only stands the phone up but, will charge in portrait or landscape and keep it cooler while charging with a built-in fan that comes on while charging. This could be your answer too ..if you're still interested in wireless charging for you S7 or similar phone. Right now, Amazon has it for $19.99 usd (2 Feb 2020).
It's called the "VersionTECH Qi Wireless Charger" You will use the power brick that came with your phone to power it.
You'll have to search for the title above at Amazon since I'm limited from adding the link currently..
I've been very pleased with it for several months now. :good:
Anyway, hope that helps ... Let us know.
