No, just a second charger for keeping in a travel kit. Ended up getting a SIIG 2-port, each port 2.1A. Seems to do the job.

Travel Charger issues
I have purchased a third party charger similar to this, it also states 2.1a output, however after connecting it to my Note 12.2 it charges for only a few minutes and then stops charging. I've changed cables, and I've bought a different model of charger and both of them stop charging the Note 12.2 after a few minutes. Only the original Samsung charger that came with it will work, at least in the USB 3.0 port.
Has anyone else found this as well ?
Nope, have been able to use my old galaxy tab charger, nexus 7 charger, and a third party one with no issues.

I'm not sure, but reading some of the product descriptions, I get the impression that the circuit for charging an iPad is different that for other devices - I've seen a couple chargers where one USB socket was for iPad and the other for everything else.
The SIIG seems to work fine from both USB sockets.

I actually have the SIIG travel charger with two USB ports, I have found that my Note 12.2 charges when the screen is ON, but as soon as the screen goes off or if I turn the unit off via the power button, charging stops. Interestingly, using the original charge that came with it or a charger for my Galaxy Note II I dont have that issue.
This is very strange

Just tried it with mine, same thing.
Does KitKat have developer options, and the ability to leave the screen on while charging?
UPDATE: Yup, it does. Not a great workaround, though.

Well, I guess the good news is that it is not our particular units malfunctioning, but it sure seems strange..it makes no sense for the charging to require the screen to be on.. that USES more power and slows down the charging process.

I got the ionic one that came with the charger, cord, and car charger.
Time with stock charger 14% to 100% 5.5hrs
Time with ionic charger and cord 16% to 100% 5.5 hours
For anyone looking for a travel charger to take care of all your gadgets at the same time, look no further than the Anker 40w 5-Port charger!
I just recently got one, and can confirm it charges the Note Pro at the same speed as the original Samsung charger. I also charge my Note 3 and various other gadgets like iPod, headphone amp, bluetooth etc.
I was using the power bot qi charger for months and then one day it stopped connecting and didn't charge wirelessly anymore. Thought it was the charger so i bought the choe qi charger. It still doesn't connect. Could it be the phone?
I should also mention that I was able to get the power bot to connect when I squeezed up against the back of the phone but once I let go it would disconnect, but now that doesn't even work.
Everthing else on the phone work fine and I even did a full restore. Not sure what else to do. Anyone else have this issue or have suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Have you checked your cable? Because I have a ChloeStadium or whatever qi wireless charger and lately when I charge my phone, it flickers charging. I don't know what it is but I rely on a turbo charger with high amps (2.4 ma at most) to fast charge my phone.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried every cable I could find with no luck. My thought now is that maybe the qi hardware in the phone has gone bad. I don't know what else to think it could be. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this issue.
I have the same issue with my Xperia Z3v. I tried several Qi chargers (including one at Verizon store) with no luck. I think that the Qi receiver in the phone has some problem. Any suggestions please?

Try the cable first to see if the cable went bad like I mentioned above. It's strange the cables are bad for me.

I've tried multiple cables and chargers with no luck. My only thought is the Qi hardware is bad.
I have the same problem. Wireless charging just stopped working. It might be when I rooted and flashed the phone.

Hi there. I just got lg g5 and straight away I bought 2 USB c cables so I can use my other charger at work for instance and keep original at home. I tried new cables on original charger however they are not fast charging, only charging according to info from the phone screen. Can you guys please advice what cables i have to buy to be able to fast charge with original charger? When I search on websites for USB c cables there is no description of the at capable to charge fast. I also have aukey quick charge 2.0 charger and wonder if I can use it with lg g5 to get a fast charge. Thanks in advance

Stick with Anker brand. Hands down best cell phone charger/USB brand! Reviews speak for themselves.

Depends on region/software version too. My extra cables worked fine for fastcharge until I updated, after that only the original cable would still do it. It's been mentioned a few times already too, looks like some of the updates block 3rd party cables from being able to use fastcharge.

Well I called LG in my country and after the second call and 4 days of waiting they told me that they're "not aware of any changes made to inhibit the use of 3rd party cables" ... they completely ignored the fact that users both here and on local Android/phone forums reported the same thing.
So yes, it is complete BS ... but since fastcharge is supposed to be detrimental to the life of the battery anyway I'm not too fussed about it any more. I got myself a small charging dock that's hooked up to the USB on my PC - while wayyyyyyy slower than even regular charge it at least gives me easy access to my phone, and if I leave it connected whenever I'm at home the battery doesn't discharge too much and I can live without fastcharge

I'm actually running CM13 now but it never occured to me to try it again with the other cable. Next charging cycle I'll give it another go
I'm not really sure which regions are affected ... a quick glance over the posts I made regarding this seems to have mostly europeans with the problem, but I can't say for sure.
Fast charging should not depend on cable, unless the cable is very poor quality with high series resistance.
I have 2 QC 2.0 chargers from Choetech and Tronsmart. I also have several usb c cables from Yozoon and Choetech. They all fast charges the phone just fine.
As for the usb-c cables buy only from name brands, and you need to confirm that they include the 56k resistor included for device protection.

I confirm that it's complete chaos in regards to chargers, cables and Fast Charging.
I bought a Tronsmart WC1T charger, it won't fast charge with the included cable, but it does that with a Vetter cable. A colleague has an Ankey charger and some other cable, my phone does not fastcharge with that combination, only with a different cable. These are both QC 3.0 chargers.
Supposedly, the cables should not matter, but it's not true.
Anyone purchased a 3 meter cable in the UK that will fast charge (tested with a meter 17-18 watt) an LG G5 (h850 or h830 etc), if so please let me know the manufacturer of the cable? a link would also be helpful.
It sounds insane but on some ocasions fast charge has only work for me by trying different sides of the usb head (as in flipping it over) with several different cables and phones.
Maybe its all a fairytail but it works :cyclops:
These cables (even the 3 meters one) fast charge the LG G5 H830 in stock and in recovery mode for Lineage os 14 (tested with original charger).
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B074MPN333/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I bought a Sony QC 3 charger and cable, didn't fast charge, it did though with my LG cable. The company sent two more cables, none of them fast charged. I then bought a 3 pack of Aukey cables (very nicely braided finish, solid connectors and 56k ohm resistor) the Sony charger, fast charges with them. And no I don't work for Aukey, just a sad man that appreciates a nice cable, lol.
Are there any magnetic chargers that will support dash charging? I want to keep from damaging the USB-C port for as long as possible.
There's not one available.
I have a magnetic charger and when used with the OEM charger, the cable heats up to the point of almost burning my fingers.

You can use the magnetic charger with a quick charge charger or any other charger and it will be fine.
I'm using a Samsung Fast Charger and have no issues, the device still charges full overnight and it's pretty quick, just not as quick as the OEM set up.
Ok I still have a quick charger from my Nexus 6, but don't know how it has scaled throughout the years in terms of what's considered "quick".
I used more then one year magnetic cable from Wsken on OP 5T. It has only charge, no data. And I have no issue, heating, damages. But in this case I don't have a supercharge. I have charge current about 1.3- 1.4 ampers.

If you use just the cable and not the OEM block it doesn't cause heating issues, I get heating issues if I use the OEM block with the wsken cable. It happens periodically so not sure what causes it.
If you use the Wsken mini2 +j OnePlus cable + wsken adapter dash charge will work. So will data transmission.
I'm using the PZOZ ones I got off AliExpress, link. I have them from my LG V20 days, and no issues with it - using the same cables across my mouse, portable battery, ipad, and phone.
They have an upgraded version here, but I have not needed them yet as the current ones charges my 6T as quick as it should.

well, i don't have any exact specs or accurate data, all the specs i have are as per the weblink. the new version supports up to 5A. for me, the older version which i have supports up to 2.1A i think but works well for me. no fires or any hazards so far.
I don't think there is a dash charge wireless. All wireless chargers are slow, for now..
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

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.

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.

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
