Since the Honor 5X uses a Qualcomm Snapgragon 616 which features Quick Charge 2.0, would it be possible to unlock this feature by software? The necessary hardware is already there...
maybe the custom kernels can do that.
I posted a similar question here. Looks like Huawei has disabled a subset of the SD616 features. Presumably this is to safe cost on this affordably priced handset. What we'd all really like to know is whether Huawei has saved cost on licenses, materials, or both. I hope it's licenses only so our devs can work their magic and unlock the goods for us.
if we can get our hands on a nandroid backup of the chinese market version then maybe our developers can port it over
I am a participant of Android 6.0 + EMUI 4.0 beta testing for Honor 5x and I have already asked Honor to implement this one in the release. I am not sure whether they would do it. I have also asked to enable OTG support with the update.
@pank.dhnd let's hope you get them to enable quick charge and OTG. thank you
Let's hope we get everything we have demanded so far
Can you enable OTG by changing the build prop line:
ro.config.support_otgstorage from "false" to "true"
and
ro.mmi.otg_test from "false" to "true"
I change the value of these 2 lines but I have yet to test with a USB drive with OTG connector.
Doesnt it support it already? My Phone doesnt charge faster with a 2-3amp charger it doesnt go over 1050ma with ampère app

"Q) Does the Honor 5X support Quick Charging?
A) Yes, the Honor 5X supports Quick Charge 2.0, which means that you can charge the phone to nearly 50 percent when charged for only 30 minutes. However, do note that Huawei has not bundled a Quick Charge compatible charger with the Honor 5X, so you need to buy it separately."
According to this site it does. but I don't know for sure. I do know my phone charges exceptionally fast. The charger that comes with it is model#hw-050100u01. I'll have to measure the voltage/amp when I get home.
The Honor 5X doesn't support Quick Charge.
I have an Anker 18W Quick Charge adapter (2.5Amp) with an Anker Powerline. My phone charges much faster with that than stock charger (1Amp) and stock cable. It takes about 3 hours with the stock charger, and about 2 hours with the Anker charger.
Your USB charging cable makes a difference. Thicker 24AWG cables will charge your phone faster. I can't post links yet - but look up any micro USB Anker Powerline cables on Amazon, and a 2.5Amp Anker Charger.

According to this article, we would beable to charge our phones at a maximum of 24 watts. I tested the watts on the stock charger(#hw-050100u01) and I was charging at 7 watts. 7 watts still being pretty fast, nothing compared to 24 watts. My stock charger charged at .9 amps.
So yes Quick Charge is definately disabled.
hello,
over the last year the battery on my kenzo device has been performing poorly over time, to the point where the battery doesnt charge past 60% and that charge doesnt last more than 2 - 3 hourse of use!
also over the last year (phone was bought on october 2016) the included charger and usb cable stopped working altogether! so now im charging with an old samsung 1A wall charger and samsung usb cable.
so i finnally installed a new battery, its an official xiaomi 4000mah battery (bm46 just like the one that comes with the phone) and while battery life is much improved and standby times are much improved, the battery also doesnt charge past 70 - 75%,
could this be because of the usb wall charger and the cable?
im guessing i need a 5V - 2A charger ? could a quick charge 3.0 charger work?
also, i have a custom rom installed (aim_rom) and any oreo or nougat rom i install show the little ray on the battery icon like when its charging even when its not charging! any thoughts? thanks.
DONT USE QC 3.0 IT WILL DESTROY YOUR PHONE. Our Phone doesnt support QC 3.0
where did you buy the battery? i'm looking for a new one

Hi i read that redmi 5 plus support qc so i had aquired samsung quick charger.When plugged phone shows quick charging but when i mesure mA while charing with qc and with normal charger there is no big difference according mesuring software.So what is real truth about qc?

Redmi 5 Plus supports QC (3.0 to be exact, as it's Snapdragon 625). Apps measuring charge rate won't show you real current, it's only approximation.
I've tested my charger, which supports QC 3.0, my 5+ uses 9Volts at almost 2Amps (when charging from 15-20%). Measuring software won't show you voltage that you are using to charge so you may not see the difference. But doing quick math - 5V*2A=10W (standard charging brick) whereas QC charger will use 9V*2A=18W. That means you are charging with 80% more power.
Keep in mind that charging with QC will get your phone a bit warmer, so phone will start to throttle the current, meaning that you won't be charging from 0% to 100% at full 18W
Yes. It charges with 9v and 1,7 amp max. (9v is static, amp is variable, that means it has only QC 2.0 mode.)
Its way faster than standart charger. I have Tronsmart QC 3.0 charger. But you can go with QC 2.0 charger.
I have bought this charger from Amazon.

As Poco India says on tweet that it supports quick charge 4, i bought this up. But unfortunately i don't see a significant improvement on charging over my stock quick charge 3 supported charger. Well, i have tried different mod that are floating around in different telegram group of poco. They do help to certain degree but not that much of a difference. Why is that? Can the developer create any mod to make the quick charge 4.0 to it's full potential??
You can made a mod to increase the charging speed (in some custom kernels) but not up to the Quick Charge 4.0 standard because QC 4 has certain Voltage and Watts that QC 3 doesn't have (Let's say QC 3 up to 20w and QC 4 up to 40w)
When buying Pocophone F1, only a Quick Charge 3.0 charger is included instead of QC 4
Here is the official list of QC 4 supported devices and official QC 4 chargers on their website.

Yep and of course, finding a good and authentic QC 4 charger is hard and expensive even here in the Philippines, finding QC4 charger is a pain in the ass.

So does this mean although i bought quick charger 4. It won't be able to perform as quick charge 4.0?

I don't really know because you bought a charger that believed has QC 4 supported but in the official list of chargers that has QC 4, it doesn't show up there. I just checked the specs of your charger and it has the highest output of 30watts. I think you just bought a QC 4+ charger.
(QC 4 and QC4+ has a little different specs or features)

Yeah. You just bought a QC 4/4+ charger. I think Qualcomm should update their list of QC4 and 4+ chargers.

Nowhere in the description of the item says the charger support quick charge 4.0.…as far as i know there's a difference between quick charge 4 and USB PD (power delivery)
Here a video I made using custom rom like nitrogen os 5-8watt speed charging but when boot into recovery TWRP 15-20 watt speed charging
I've able to fast charge using charging below
Samsung QC2.0 Charger
Huawei M5 Pro FCP Charger
Aukey PA-T14 QC3.0
These charger are not able to fast charge
Tronsmart WCP01 PD3.0 & QC4.0
Aukey PA-Y8 PD3.0 & QC4.0
I've being told by Aukey staff that QC4 somewhat not working well with Poco maybe due to Xiaomi license etc...

I don't know if it works on Poco F1 or even can handle the 65watts charger, in the item description it says for Lenovo Laptop.

Share some video if you can,like to see.Post in YouTube and give link here
One thing i noticed is that the charge never exceeds 18watts.. So that means maybe within software it's limited to quick charge 3.0..
Qualcomm has certified that Poco F1 meets the hardware necessities for quick charge 4/4+. This doesn't necessarily mean it will be able to, because it's in the hands of the OEMs that manufacture our phone. Xiaomi has intentionally kept the charging voltage to low on the Poco F1, which if provided, can be easily sorted out through software updates. But I don't think Xiaomi will do that, because it's bad for their business. If you cramp up everything on such a budget phone, there will be a decrease in the purchase of their other flagships that they have provided. So in order to keep this balance between their flagship and budget oriented devices, Xiaomi has intentionally kept the Poco F1 out of quick charge 4/4+ territory. Xiaomi did announce after a couple of days that Poco F1 supports quick charge 4/4+, but only shortly it was taken down. So don't waste your time looking up for chargers that support quick charge 4/4+, the Poco F1 will never be able to quick charge in 4/4+ if Xiaomi doesn't provide such tweeks in the phone through software updates.

Aside from the possibility of it being limited by the software, battery temperature has a major impact on how fast you can charge your device. Try watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh9OJQZinFQ
From his experiment, you can clearly see that Poco does support QC4 or QC4+ (I don't know what's the difference, but I guess 4+ is better?) and it's able to charge at a whopping 30+Watts just from lowering the ambient temperature alone as opposed to getting about 12 to 13 Watts from QC 3.0
As far as I know, there's only one charger that has worked for POCO to enable QC 4+. But seeing that this charger is nearly impossible to buy and is also quite expensive at the same time.
There is a post here in the forum I saw around a year ago where someone bought this charger and tested it. And he claims that it does indeed work.
He also did clarify that the benefits are little to none.
QC 4+ is mostly a theoretical upgrade to QC 3. Most phones don't ever reach the full QC 4+ or even 4 specifications.
We are limited by the battery technology of our time, where faster charges result in more heat. Which is why even though most phones released today are certified for 4+ they usually still ship with a 3 charger.
Other brands like VOOC are able to get so high is because they use dual battery cells.
Anyway, here's the charger if you want to buy it.

RN9P/S only support 18W charging out of the box but RN9P Max support 33W charging. Besides the cameras, both phones have similar specs. Could the devs technically modify the phone (software not hardware) to enable the 33W charging? Would be great if I don't have to wait 2 hours to charge the phone.
But one thing to remember here is the charger that comes with RN9P/S only supports up to 22.5W charging so you will have to buy a new charger that supports 33W.

You got a device with a battery that last really long. You'll arrive at the end of the day with a great amount of charge and you can connect it on the charger overnight.
What do you need to charge it in 1 hour for?
Just to ruin your battery?
Is it certain that the 9s/9pro doesn't support 33W out of the box, and isn't just limited by the 22W charger?
My redmi note 7 charges much faster with a qc 4.0 charger than with the stock one, they just cut corners on the charger to make it more affordable.
