I'm using a third party charger and there isn't any special kind of notification for charging.
It just states 'charging'. How do I know if its Quick Charging?
If it's not fully charged after 90 mins, it's not quick.
But isn't there any notification like 'fast charging' for Samsung?

No. You can check how fast it charges with Ampere

If you use the stock ROM or a stock based one, you see nothing more than that. LineageOS based ROM's say if the phone is charging at slow, normal or fast speed, and the actual speed
If it's charging and it says "charging slowly" it's charging slowly (duh). That's usually if you plug it into power source giving low power (like PC and normal charger) but if it says just "charging" that means it's charging fast
fast charge works surely, normally on my mobile took 50 minutes for a full charge, use the original charger not from pc or another charger.

If you're still not sure try to find the sticker where says how much voltage it pushes. If it only says 5v then it's a slow charger but if it says 5v,9v,12v then it's a fast charger
Answer Received! Thank you guys!
You can get a usb power analyzer from AliExpress for few euros. I found out that LeEco Max 2 charges maximum with about 15W with LineageOS (most quick charge 3.0 adapters top at 18W anyway)

According the specification out V10 supports Quick Charge 2.0.
Does this mean any charge that support Quick Charge 2.0 should work? or it more hit or miss?
I purchased this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0144S0PDK
and when I connect it I don't see it indicating quick charge.
thanks
This one is tricky. Regular high-amp (2.1A) chargers don't seem to do the trick; its more about amps AND volts on this phone. The only other charger I've gotten 'fast charging' to work with is the Motorola Turbocharger I got with my Nexus 6. I suppose if you found a charger that outputs the same amperage and voltage as the LG charger it would work, in theory.
The charger that came with mine is a fast charge charger. It shows fast charge when I plug it in.
The charger that comes with does indicate quick charging when I plug it in to it.
But the car charger that I purchased that claims quick charging support does not indicate quick charging when I plug it in.
Was looking for others experience to decide if I should return and complain.
Unless the chargers say that they are Quick Charge 2.0 or 3.0 they don't quick charge our phones. AC or Cigarette lighter charger. Now, there is at least one brand of charger out there that @ 5 volts DC used to charge my Note 2 at 1800mA, but it was smart not quick.

It does..i bought a quick charger for my htc one m9 before and it shows the fast charging when i tether the v10 to it
The phone will detect if it will quick charge when connected to a QC 2.0, you don't get a QC when you plug it in instantly, it will also depend on how much power you already have in the phone.
Aukey is a authorized with QC 2.0 and is listed in Qualcomm site.
I've got the power..

What RDI said.
"Quick Charge" is not "Fast Charge" or "Adaptive Charge" - All of my 2.4amp Fast Chargers do not charge the G4 or v10 any faster than an old iphone power cube. YMMV
The V10 is Quick Charge qc (Qualcomm) 2.0.
There are already a couple of threads on the subject. here and here
@ZEROLEMON_OFFICIAL makes one of the best IMHO. Anker, Aukey/Tronsmart, and Motorola Turbo Chargers have qc 2.0 compatible ones. (always a sale on groupon or slickdeals)
Our phone, like the LG G4 switches to Quick Charge when the main screen is off. And tones it down to standard charging speed if you have the main screen on. The v10 Quick Charges at about 2850mA, slightly faster than the G4 at 2000~2200mA, but slower than the Nexus 6 at 2700~3200mA.
Attached are results by CoNsPiRiSiZe on this AT&T variant, and mine on Tmobile variant. Also included is my USB Doctor Sleeve using a Motorola Turbo Charger plugged into the v10 with screen off.
I am using the Samsung adaptive car charger while driving and it shows fast charging on the lockscreen

I have paid version with notificaion ebabled. But you can run it, leave phone alone so it can meassure. Then turn on screen and screenshot results. It takes a few seconds before it drops or remeassures.
Do these really charge all that much faster than a 2.1a charger? Debating if it's worth it to go invest into a few of these QC chargers.
Thanks

QC 2.0 allows up to a maximum of 3A of current. Every QC 2.0 enabled device will vary slightly in how much power they can draw due to internal circuitry. The V10 charges at about 2.85A as shown by Clockcyle so yes, a QC 2.0 charger will charge faster than a standard 2.1A charger.
Excellent, thank you! Going to pick up some of them now then.
Hello dear fellows- i am facing a very strange issue on my lg g5 (850).
I have a third party charger (Aukey QC 2.0) with a usb A to Usb Type C cable. This charger never failed me once on any of my Samsung phones. Quick charging always worked as it should but with lg g5 its charging speed is very slow. According to Ampere app its just 310 mA. After connecting this charger it even shows fast charging notification but fast charging is not there.
Today i've decided to charge it after turning it off completely and guess what... It was charging really fast as it should while turned On.
Now i am confused whether it's LG's software which is preventing 3rd party cables/chargers to charge fast while turned On or is it something else.
Any input guys or similar experience?

It's always possible an app is using a lot of battery while you're charging. So the phone charges slower. Question though, why don't you just use the provided charger from LG?

Unfortunately, the LG charger was lost last week during my travel so by chance I had this Aukey charger lying around which is Quick Charge 2.0 supported so i am trying to accomplish the original results with it until i'll get my hands on a QC 3.0 compatible charger.
Hm, my Aukey Quickcharge car charger even works fine with my phone.
Make sure you aren't using the phone while charging it, it will always charge much slower.
I have some doubts on my data cable. Will try to swap it with another one and will test again.

I can confirm that the LG software does not prevent fast charge with 3rd party chargers and cables.
I'm using a 3rd party QC 3 charger with a 3rd party cable, and fast charging is working just fine when phone is powered on.
And in Battery Monitor Widget I can see that it actually is fast charging and is using QC 3 to throttle charging amperage.
However I've experienced a couple of times, when changing cable in the charger, that it wouldn't fast charge. It was solved by removing the cable from the charger and connect it again, and then it works just fine afterwards.

Seems like slow charging has something to do with the heat/temperature of the battery or overall phone. If i try to charge it when the battery temps are around 30 then it charges really fast but if the temp is above 30 then software somehow restricts the fast charging to avoid any damages.
I am not sure if the above analysis is valid but my observation has lead me to this point only so far.

I learned 2 things from my testing using ampere and a drok USB current meter:
First, ampere isn't really that accurate when it comes to this phone and charging currents. It was consistently about 200mah off.
Secondly if the phone is even somewhat warm, it will limit the charge current to ~300 mah with the screen on. However if you turn the screen off, it returns to full charging speed (1.8 amps in the case of my charger) I think it is some sort of thermal throttle to keep the battery from getting too hot.

That really is frustrating. I always see fast charging when plugged in, although it definitely is not fast at all if you are using it or have the screen on .
Are you plugged into a wall outlet directly? Not an extension cord? Sounds like a warranty replacement may be in order, it's possible there's something faulty with your USB C connector.
Have I not voided warranty with unlock? thanks
Tried with xiaomi charger and it works, no joy with original.
Must be faulty lg charger using same cable
I have LG G4 and I was facing the exact same problem. The phone would charge very slow while screen was on. Once I let the screen go off the phone charged at the expected rate. It seems LG is incorporating some serious throttling in their phones.

I think you can not fast charge while the phone is turned off. Maybe someone can start another thread where we can compare battery logs because this will help to see the amount of time used for charging. Is there any way of seeing if the device is using QC 2 or 3?
LG G5 on 7.0
I just got a Warranty phone because of GPS pins lost contact with case. Now I'm getting the slow charge message. I just found if I flipped the USB C over it fast charges. Just thought I would share though doubt y'all wouldn't have learned this by now with all of the testing you've done already.

I experienced that too. Isn't it strange?
Also, I experience with some chargers, the phone will just start charging for some seconds and then act as if the cable was unplugged and then start charging again. I don't know why. Anyone experiencing this too? In this case, it didn't help to flip the cable...
So disappointed with my G5 now.
Was great to start with now it's slow charge. Got new batteries but the same. Will charge off till about 5/6% then switch on. Lovely phone now just useless. Even got the phone and amp modules. Lol

This is a problem with the make of the charger. I have some Choetech QC chargers, and the programming in the QC is faulty. Some safety mech kicks in, turns off the charger, then turns back on again, over and over. I have some Tronsmart chargers and there is no issue. Of course, the OEM LG one works fine too.
To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Essential Phone can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
They claim that a 5 mins charge gets you 5 hours of battery. 1 hour and 30 minutes for a complete charge.

Apperently its like 30 something Watts. Unbox Therapy found this on the charger.
27W to be exact. And on another video review, it showed 5v @ 3A and 9v @ 3A on the charger. So this thing should charge pretty quick and I assume is just using the native USB-C Fast Charge capability which is just fine.
I got confirmation from support that it is using USB-C PD for charging. No QuickCharge.
So this is all false then...

Yup, that would be a lie. Just because you have a 835, they would have to still implement QC themselves in order to leverage it.
And I believe Qualcomm loves to charge a pretty penny to flip that bit on for your device.
The device may still charge pretty quickly, but we will need some reports from those who have it in hand.
Anyone with it already have AccuBattery installed and see what the charging speed is plugged into its charger?

From a review I watched, they said that the charger is capable of Charing 5 hours of usage time in 5 minutes.
I tried my s8 charger on it, the charger quickly heated up and stopped charging the device
When using the S8 charger, it show slow charging... Sucks
Soooo... What's wrong with using the included charger?
And Samsung uses some other form of Fast Charging that's proprietary to their own devices. It isn't Qualcomm quick charge at least at the generic level. Essential just uses the USB-C 3A fast charge ability which you will have to get separate from both Samsung or QC2/3.0 stuff which is a bit of a pain, but really not surprising. Same as the Nexus/Pixel devices.
It shows Charging Slowly with my Anker PowerPort 10 charger for some reason - even though it is 60W capable and nothing else was plugged into it. I'm really hoping I don't actually have to use the bundled charger just to get it to charge quickly. That would actually be really annoying. I rarely use included chargers since I have Anker PowerPorts everywhere that I need to charge.
I plugged in an Ailey quick charge charger. It first said charging slowly then changed to charging rapidly.

That's because it will never fast charge a USB-C Fast Charge device. You need something like this since this device does not have Qualcomm quick charge.
That 60W charger doesn't really support any modern Quick Charge, it just supports the max 2.4A charging for things like Tablets and whatnot.
For those using Quick Charge to the PH-1, it is only compatible with QC 4.0 and not QC 3.0 or below. QC 4.0 is compatible with Power Delivery (PD) that PH-1 uses.

Quick charge or no quick charge, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to charge faster than 3% overnight. It still said charging slowly when I got up this morning and said 5 days until full. It had actually only gone up 3% in the past 9 hours.
My battery is at 96% so it may not be the most accurate test, and it was over 1000mah on initial plug in and then slowly went down to what's on the screen shot after about a minute.
Have the Galaxy s 20 ultra. Have a Samsung 15 watt wireless charger with fast charge 2.0. are there any other 15 watt wireless chargers on the market that actually work at the same speed? I have others labeled 15 watt that really deliver a lesser wattage consistent with fast charge 1.0
May I have a look this charger?
No. All 15W chargers other than Samsung genuine will deliver 7.5W
I thought they made a 45w charger or is that only for the S20 Ultra
Anker makes one that will do 10w for the s20's, and some 3rd party off brands make claims they will do 10w but id be skeptical.
I cruised Amazon for about an hour and didn't see any that state they will do 15w for Samsung phones. There are 15w ones but will only do that for Huawei and LG.

Download an app like ampere from the playstore and check the charging values with the different chargers. It will more than likely say rapidly charging for anything above 5v 2a charging which is quick charge 2.0 but this device also supports quick charge 3.0

If it's 9v then yes. If it's charging 5v and 2a then its not fast charging like it should.
Check the voltage also.
Basic maths; to get Watts (w) multiple the current (amps) x voltage (v).
So if it is charging at 1.9a like you say it should have a voltage ~9v

It doesn't work like that. Your device has protection built in to avoid overcharging and too much current from frying everything. The max your device will charge is 18w and no more
