Quick Charge Support? - Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers

Does it support Quick Charge 2.0/3.0?

Based on the specifications off the Chinese website, supports only 5v/2a. Not sure hardware, software or licensing limitation.

I have bought a MiPad 4 (3+32).
If the QC3.0 charger is used, it will only up to about 12W. It still needs 2.5 hours.

The tablet does support QC 3.0 but the included brick does not.

Do you have any device that would measure the voltage and amperage??
It would be great to get the actual reading...

I have one Mi Pad 4 (3Gb/32Gb Wi-Fi) and with the battery at 20%, charging in a QC3.0 port, with the screen off it went to 1.85Ah at 5.05V. It was around 9Wh. So i can tell that it probably will go to 10Wh maximum and so it has probably only support for QC2.0.
I used a UGreen wall dual charger (one port QC3.0, the other is 2.4Ah) and the cable also a UGreen nylon that supports fast charge. They are found very easily in ebay and I strongly recommend this brand for charging (value/quality). For measuring I also used a very common usb tester that goes up to 5.1Ah/30V found also in ebay.
I can tell that with that same charger and cable, my Le Max 2 goes to a maximum of 24Wh(!) (around 8V/3Ah) when it was around 10-20% battery. So I can tell that the charger is at least outputing that power.

I confirm that no matter if used original charger or QC3 from Mi6 it can't charge 2-100% faster than 3 hours (usually 3h20m). Besides it doesn't show any notification about fast charging so this function must be locked.
IMO this is the biggest flaw in this tablet and I hope Xiaomi will do the same like with its Mi A1. The phone was released without the QC support, but it got unlocked with the Oreo update.

Xiaomi AD07ZM charger show 5V / 1.9A on USB tester with my Mi Pad 4 LTE at 40% battery.

using various chargers and cables, both with miui 9 and 10.
I can say that MI PAD4 - DOES NOT have QC. it uses regular 5V/2A.
on xiaomi mi6, which clearly stated to suppoer QC, you have a sign of 'lightning bolt' on the top, as well as on the lock screen.
Mi-Pad DOES NOT.

is this limitation in hardware or easily bypassable using magisk?
coz the Plus version got at least QC2.0 enabled.

I have an own QC adapter (not from Xiaomi). When I plug in my Mi6 it shows "fast charging". But on my MiPad4 LTE it doesnt say anything about that... So I also would say, that the normal MiPad4 has no QC support.. Maybe the PLUS has it..

that's what the specifications say, BUT mine does definitely not support any kind of QC, neither 2.0 nor 3.0. I have tried it with a variety of QC2/3 chargers and cables that all work fine for QC (QC3.0 in this case) with my Mi Note 3 ("Jason"). On the Mi Pad 4 plus it does NOT quick-charge: neither does the Pad show any indication that it does, nor do my indicator cables (that have different color LEDs for normal or quick charging), nor is the charging time significantly reduced when using a QC charger versus a "normal" charger.
So, in theory it supports QC, in practice it doesn't for whatever reason. It may be supported by the chipset, but may be blocked by the kernel or MIUI.

I can confirm it does not support QC.

But does it really charge faster? I think this is more in the firmware than rom itself.

Hi,
I got an MI PAD 4 imported to India and unfortunately lost the charger .
I got know NI PAD 4 needs a 5v 2a charger. Can i use the Mi India standard 2A charger as the voltages in india and China are quite same .
It is is tough to find an equivalent adapter for the MI PAD 4 here in India .
Could you please help me with any suggestions .. i am currently charging it through USB ports in my laptop but the tablet is nearly dead.
look forward to your response.

Input (line) voltage doesn't really matter for this kind of chargers, they do support a wide range of input voltage. What matters is the output voltage. If it is 5V there is no problem using that.

[Q] Highest Wattage/Amperage AC Charger Needed?

I'm looking into AC charging adapters and want to buy the one that will charge the phone the fastest. I've found a 20 watt, 5 volt, 4 amp one. Is anything more even powerful even useful?
TIA

The PHONE asks for the power from the charger.
If the phone doesnt ask for more than 2amps, for instance, it doesnt matter if youve got a 100amp charger, it wont give it any more than 2amps.
panyan answers ur question.
However you can reduce the charge time by looking into buying a quick charger 2.0 as the S800 supports this. I repeat: version 2.0! 1.0 does not work with S800.
Details here: https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/800
For example:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Qualcomm-Ce...682?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35ec14a922
or
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Qualcomm-Ce...187?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d333ddd6b
will work with the phone. I don't have any quick charger so I don't know how much faster such charger act compared to a normal dc adapter.
The main advantage of buying a charger that has more amps output is that the unit will not heat up as much as compared to a 700mAh-1.5A charger. Because it has more performance to give than a smaller charger which is always going at full throttle.
But as panyan said. Your phone won't use more amps even if u buy one that can output like 20 amps..
And as many here has noticed. In the lollipop roms charging the phone is now ridiculous slow. Instead of 2 hours as we saw in KK roms it now takes like 4-6 hours.
In kitkat I topped 1,5A but now I get like 400mA-650mA. Dunno why they changed this in lollipop..
The disadvantage is just a miniscule thing to not even care about.
A charger with higher amps output can have a higher idle current then a smaller charger.
Instead of using something like 0,1W per hour a larger charger might use 0,15W per hour.
There's no linear formula for how it works but it can happen.. you might care about care about this if you are a controlfreak with the elecric bill.
This only applies if you leave your charger in the socket all the time like I do. Some people unplug it some just leave it in ready to charge the phone next time.

hmm strange... I don't really have much say about this. I have never tried it.
Did anyone around here on the forum tried buying a quickcharger and try?
How would you even know it's working? Is there any verbose output in the catlog or dmesg?

Thank you! Finally someone bought one!
Now we have the answer. Quick charge does not work.
Edit:
I saw something about that quickcharge has the same connector BUT it uses 7 pins instead of 5 as a regular micro usb cable.
And looking into a microscope I can see that the Z ultra micro usb port has 5, five pins.
So the missing part might actually be an hardware issue here?
Värt att notera är att Micro-Flip inte har stöd för QuickCharge eftersom kontaken endast har fem stycken pinnar framför sju stycken, vilket krävs för turboladdning

Translated into:
It is worth noting that the Micro-Flip does not support QuickCharge because it only has five pins on the plug instead of seven, which is required for turbo-charging

Any working "Fast car charger"?

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 bought mine from AliExpress.
I too ordered mine from AliExpress - with the 27W wall plug bundle
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ori...381.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.12f44c4dJnoFeC
Question: did you buy the bundle (~30 euros) or just the wireless charger? (~20 euros)
I wonder if I can use the stock 18W charger to power the wireless charger and still get the 20W wireless charging...
Does anyone know if you need a specific power adapter to use the wireless charger?

How do you want to get 20W on the wireless pad using a 18W socket?? If you use the 18W adapter you will just limit the pad to 18w too.
You must buy the bundle (27w power adapter + 20w pad). You can use the 27W adapter directly using usb cable to get full dash charge, or use it on the 20w wireless pad

Because there are watts, amperes and volts.
I just read the product description and saw that:
Input: 12 Vdc, 1.35 A or 20 V, 1.35 A for QuickCharge
Given that the charger that comes with Mi 9 (MDY-08-EI) delivers a max of 12V / 1.5A, the answer to my question is no, it won't work - not at max quick charge capacity at least.
Hard to see point of wireless charger really. Seems to me its better to have a cord, you can use the phone lol . On the wireless charger, phone have to sits there.
I like wireless in the car for example.

Agreed, though I must admit I've grown quite fond on my wireless charging stand next to my bed for night time. Just nice to simply place it down and pick it up, bypassing the need to plug or unplug!

that's why order with adapter from ali for just 10$ extra. Otherwise it's a turd. Try find standalone QC4+ cable charger for this price locally. Worth it.
Your performance is ok, 18W QC2+ chargers were always used to power up 'fast charge' wireless stations in order to produce such output (10W).
in order to product 20W wireless, you need not 20W adapter, but 27W QC4+ adapter as there's lot of loss.
Wireless chargers (i have all types):
*5W: require basic hispeed charger (rated usually 5Vx2A=10W)
*7.5W: iphone stuff, who cares, requires QC2+ charger (18W)
*10W: requires QC2+ charger (18W)
*15W: forgotten generation (although some Huawei customs exist), remember people were waiting for samsungs to upgrade the speed for years but since S7 nothing happened
*20W: upcoming generation, requires QC4+ charger (27W), hope it will be official qualcomm format so we can use the charger for another devices..so far it's not specified in Qi

Made the mistake and bought only the wireless charging pad without the plug and cable :/... is there any cheap and good separate plug and cable available?
Same here, I just bought the pad, I thought it would come with the charger (different from the 27W) or at least I thought I could use the original Mi9 charger

How Do I Know If My Mi 9 is Charging at QC 4.0 Speeds

Hi Guys
Just purchased a Xiaomi Mi 9 along with a razer charger QC 4.0 charger and was wondering if the phone gives any indication that you are charging at QC 4.0 speeds.
Download "Ampere" to see at what rate your phone charges.
Thanks just downloaded the application.
Any particular stats within the app to look out for

Just the charging speed, QC4+ should be around 4A, if I'm not mistaken? Haven't checked, but I think that's about what you should get. My Mi 9 charges at 3.3A with the stock adapter.

I bought the Belkin QC4+ charger and it seems to charge the same at the stock Chinese model (8/128) adapter.
Mid 4000s mAh @4.4v
Take it for what you will. I bet anything is better than the Global brick I guess.
I know it's working because my phone charges absurdly fast.
Look for rapid charging on lock screen
Or charge turbo on charge animation
I am using the Hama QC4+ charger, no Charge Turbo and no Charge Quick/Fast displayed.
Wonderful charger
It does charge kinda quick, and the text shows Charging Fast, but that's it. Disappointed.
Could always use one of these, they're fairly cheap and quite usefull for checking port/usb output
or you simply look at the GSI lockscreen which integrates usb meter
shows volts, ampers, temperature, battery% and speed status

The charger that comes with the Chinese model should be a qc4+ one.

This was not my experience at all. I bought that belkin 4.0+ and it averaged at 2200... I don't think the phone does Charge Turbo or even Fast on 4.0 / 4.0 + because it isn't really a QC 4 rated phone. Offical Xiaomi chargers that do 27 w are running at QC 3.0 (look closely at the brick) they do however have an extra mode which makes the QC 3.0 charge TURBO... here is the confusion I beleive after buying a Hama 4.0+ and this Belkin 4.0+ you said works but doesn't charge Turbo.

But I connected this charger to wireless charger and I gave almost 4000. Who is know please explain me, how can I get more from wireless charger than charger itself?
By the way charger I bought from AliExpress, original Xiaomi 27w charger

I am using the Hama QC4+ charger, no Charge Turbo and no Charge Quick/Fast displayed.
Wonderful charger
It does charge kinda quick, and the text shows Charging Fast, but that's it. Disappointed.

I might be late but i got exactly that chrager and its somehow not turbocharging...
Told you. In the meantime, my Hama charger does not even work, it charges intermittently, 1s on 1s off.

Found a 3rd party multi-port charger that supports SuperFast Charging on S20 Ultra

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.
