Is anyone aware of what is this new charging standard Samsung is using for allowing 4 hours of battery in 10 mins charge?

It's definitely faster than Qualcomm's QuickCharge 2.0 but I'm not able to find any details on the specific name or tech details and I'm certain it's not a regular charger. I'm hoping to buy a few spares of these types of chargers so if anyone can provide details on this that would be great!

UPDATE: Answer confirmed! http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59794206&postcount=9
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] tft:
honestly it's really nothing more than higher flow of electricity flowing through the USB adapter at 2A @ 9 volts ~ and a combination of higher capacity battery charge rate internally to handle the extra voltage.

i can probably get 4 hours on my S4 which also has a rapid charger, with only a 10-15 min charge... also, it's not really 4 hrs they mean of actual usage.. they probably mean that the device will have extra standby (light usage) for up to 4 hours with only 10 minutes charge., not that you will get 4 hours screen time in only 10 min charge time.

edit: it'll be a USB charger like this, which IIRC is similar to the one in the note 4 that supports the same quick charge:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OM40K1Y/
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Hmm...if higher amps and voltage is it then I'm curious to know exactly what those specs are. 2A @ 9 volts is that confirmed? If that's the case then just a higher amp QuickCharge 2.0 charger should be enough I'm guessing since we know it supports 9 volts along with the standard 5 volts as well.

And of course I know that "up to 4 hours usage" is to be taken with the best case scenario as usual (standby time) but nevertheless they did claim multiple times very cleary that they have the fastest charging solution on the market (counting QuickCharge 2.0 which has been out for a while so no way they can't be accounting for that I hope).

I'm reading here about this charger:

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-TA20JWEUSTA

Pretty standard stuff so far, there are plenty of 2 Amp chargers out there already.

Do we know if that "Adaptive Fast Charging technology" is just extra voltages (like 9 and 12 volts) just like Qualcomm's basically? Or is it truly unique to Samsung devices that other devices can't take advantage of?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
According to this looks like that's right. It's just an additional 9 volts (missing the third 12 volts like other Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0 chargers).

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Adaptive-Charging-EP-TA20JWE-Universal/dp/B00PIZ5JB2/

So if we got this right then as long as we have any QuickCharge 2.0 charger it should work the same way with Samsung's AFC technology. :)

(assuming there's no security chip preventing otherwise - Samsung has done similar things in the past)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] tft:
yes, they should technically be compatible with each other. you''ll also be able to use the S6 charger on say another device that is only rated at 5V, that's basically what adaptive means,. 5 or 9V. or whatever else the charger is rated for.

I tested a generic QUALCOMM 2.0 charger with an Samsug s 6 and worked with no warnings and provided message that 'fast charger' was being used
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Sleepy!:
Samsung's own website does mention something about Quick Charge 2.0, which means that they're probably using Qcomm power management ICs.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Looks like the stock Galaxy S6 Edge AFC adapter is just 5v and 9v like all QC 2.0 chargers are. That's good to know that any QC 2.0 charger should work as a great spare as well. :good:
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] flarbear:
A 2600mAh lithium battery (@3.8v) should be 9.88Wh.

This charger can charge at 5v@2A == 10 Watts, or 9v@1.67A == 15 Watts.

Charging at maximum wattage for the Samsung charger would be charging at about 1.5C. Battery experts used to recommend not charging faster than 1C (at least as far as the wealth of information on the Battery University site goes), but I guess they've made advancements in the longevity of lithium these days.

Assuming the quick charge specs listed are measuring the part of the curve that can charge at maximum wattage, 15 Watts for 10 minutes is 2.5 Watts / 3.8v == 658mAh, or about 1/4 of the battery capacity.

The "100% in an hour" (I've seen that in press releases, but couldn't find that figure on Samsung's web site) is exactly 1C over all, but since lithium batteries are charged on a curve it will likely be charging at this 15 Watts for only part of its time on the charger and then drop down even below 1C for the last part until it is 100%. It would be interesting to see if it can get a full 50% in 20 minutes or if it can only do full charge for about 25% of the capacity in the best case scenario part of the curve. Also, over what range of initial SoC is the 25% still valid? It's doubtful it can charge that fast if it starts at 75% because the biggest cutbacks in charging tend to be on the "full" end of the scale. I believe that charging circuits will tend to also "take things slowly" when starting near 0%, but 10-35% should be doable, possibly 25-50%. Now if only I had an hour with nothing to do but stare at a phone's battery percentage and record figures... ;)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] riki66:
So basically this car charger http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D82O68Y/ should charge my s6 edge as fast as possibile right??

And there's no need to buy a "qualcomm 2.0 quick charge" car charger because it would just" adapt" to the power requirement of the s6, correct?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] tft:
the 1C rule no longer applies. it's been years since that was the general rule. i run alot of different batteries for my hobbies and i charge some of them upwards of 3 - 4C.

imo, quick charge, fast charge, or whatever they want to call it, is just mostly marketing. the battery do charge slightly faster, but not much faster than at 5v @ 2A. my S4 can go from 5% to 50% in about 30 minutes, yet it's not "quick charge" just the 5v @ 2A.

in my opinion, i would much rather charge without using quick charge on an S6 because for that 5-10min faster charge it might offer, it'll just put unnecessary wear on the battery. considering that the s6 has no removable battery and if you plan to keep your device long-term (say upwards of 2 years) then id avoid using quick charge all together, including wireless charging which creates even more battery wear (more heat).

i do believe charge speed is slightly less important than charging capacity, so i don't even plan to always charge my s6 to 100%. li-ion battery will last longer if they are kept under 4.10v. might gain an extra 200 cycles by not maxing out the battery all the time.

if the battery were easy to swap, i wouldn't care, but i plan to have the phone for at least 2 years so i want to retain max life from the internal battery, hence why i dont care much for quick charge. getting to 50% battery 10 mins quicker is minor to me so ill be sticking to normal 5V charger.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] flarbear:
I don't know enough details about how Quick Charge works to be able to answer this. The device looks like it always supplies 5v, but up to 4.8A to yield 24 watts. It also doesn't distinguish if it is actually a 12w+12w charger or if either side can draw the full 24 watts. Does the S6 fast charge off of 5v, or does it require the 9v output to do its magic? The Amazon listing does list the S6 and S6 Edge in its description so "maybe". If it simply supplied 5v and the S6 decided to only draw 2A from a 5v charger then you may not get as fast of a charge (10 watt vs 15 watt) compared to a charger that claimed Quick Charge 2.0 compatibility and might supply 9v.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] streilu:
Do you guys know if there are apps that prevent to charge up to 100%?

Lets say where you can set a max of 90%.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Szadzik:
Tasker can notify you when it reaches 90%, maybe. No app can stop the phone from charging, though.

Something is Fishy

I've tested the S6 Edge with Multiple Chargers (my lady has the S6 Edge too). When I use my Samsung Charger at 20% Battery it says 3hrs 10min to full. When I use the charger that came with my LG G2, it says 1hr 30min to full. Seems like Samsung went cheap. I tried her charger too, different outlets, even at a different house. Fast Charger my butt
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] krabman:
Samsung and Intel are using the Qualcomm tech with some slight modifications which can be done without paying royalties leaving the only truly different technology to Oppo. The spec requires an embedded controller on the SOC and the associated circuitry which allows the device (phone in this case) to control the charge coming from the charger. The quick charge tech works the fastest with (mostly) depleted batteries which can take more juice more quickly and is less effective with battery topping where the battery cant accept charge as quickly without overheating.

I've read a couple people saying they had non functioning chargers out of the box, I would try someones quick charger known to work ctrlaltdelete and see if that isn't the case with you. You should get much faster charging, The Oppo charger will not work with our devices but all the QC 2.0 chargers I have tried do work at the same speed as the supplied charger on my Edge. It's impossible for a functioning quick charge charger to need 3 hrs to charge this phone. The math simply wont allow it.

Just wanted to ask a quick question , which one charges faster the adaptive fast charging or quick charge 2.0 ?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leminur:
So I have installed the 6.0 CWRecovery in my Note 3 (hlr) in order to install the newest CWM12(7.8), I managed to install the CWRecovery touch 6.0 using the app known as Flashfy, it worked fine and so I managed to install CM mod 12 (I have some problem with the stock Music app, which crashes all the time). I saw a new update (8.1) and I wanted to update it again, but the boot does not load the recovery mod and thus, it just keep on a recovery boot loop. The only way to get out of such loop is to load the download mode, and then it boots the CW12. I have tried reinstalling the recovery mode using the flashfy and rom manager, but it does not work at all, even when using the said programs to flash the ROM itself. What should I do? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
Try downloading the TWRP...tar file for your phone (http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 - click top right for your phone) and flash it using Odin - it will give you TWRP Recovery.

Also go to Chainfire's site and get SuperSU.zip (http://download.chainfire.eu/695/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip) so you can flash it in Recovery.

I flash the ROM, then GApps (I use PA version) then SuperSU in one flash session, then I Restore my Data partition from my nandroid backup and always good to go after that.

Like the Title says, can someone please add a Touch-To-Wake option.

We already have the Ambient Screen and Tilt To Wake Screen options that were introduced in the Android Wear 5.0 update, but for the life of me, I cannot understand why a Touch To Wake option was never included.

Having read through countless posts and threads on the net, it seems to not only be mine but everybody else's bane of their Android Wear experience. It would have to be THE most requested option in the history of Android Wear.

I realize there is Theater Mode, but this just isn't good enough.

We want to be able to have notifications pushed to the watch, we want to have the Vibrate when a notification comes through, we want to be able to tilt/flick the wrist to have the watch turn on........what we don't want is the watch turning on every time it touches a part of your body. It is especially annoying if you are sitting on a table with your arms crossed, or even sitting in a car with your arm crossed over and the screen touches your leg.

Please Please Please add this option in the official Moto360 ROM and release it yesterday.
[Moto 360] r3pwn:
1) It's already there. Everything you mentioned is already in the stock ROM.

2) Wrong section

3) Release it.... Yesterday?

4) Don't beg people to do things then tell them when you need it done by - it's not your work, it's none of your business when it gets completed.

5) I have yet to see any other threads requesting tap to wake. (Perhaps because it's already there?)
[Moto 360] TRLOS:
And where would the Touch-to-wake option be exactly ?
[Moto 360] JimSmith94:
I think he wants to be able to turn Touch-To-Wake off.
[Moto 360] TRLOS:
Was my post not clear enough to begin with ?
[Moto 360] JimSmith94:

[Moto 360] TRLOS:
Oh, I do apologize.

I meant I wanted to option added so you can turn it off.
[Moto 360] r3pwn:
Oh. Ignoring the first and last things I mentioned, all of the others still apply, though.
[Moto 360] ben.nesheim:
Putting it in theater mode is that bad? Only pressing the button turns it on I use it when I know I am not gonna be able to look at it or I need to take it off so it just stays "asleep"just have your phone vibrate and then you can wake your watch as you please
[Moto 360] TRLOS:
Yes it is.

Theatre mode doesn't wake the screen up when you rotate the watch.

It doesn't vibrate when a notification comes through.

I would like to have all the features available when the watch is in its normal mode......but without the touch-to-wake option turned on.
[Moto 360] npjohnson:
Its called theater mode....

You could always just compile your own kernel and remove the function. It honestly wouldn't be that hard. It would just take some research. If you want me to point you in the right direction, I can, but forewarned, it will require some possibly heavy learning depending on your current level.
[Moto 360] TRLOS:
Yeah, hence why I put this post into the Original Android Development thread. An option like this should be made a standard on all Android Wear devices, especially the Moto360.

I wouldn't have the faintest idea about compiling a kernal and to be honest, have no intention of rooting/modifying my Moto360 (even though I do it for all my phones).

All I wanted was to request that this option be made available, hopefully for the next Android Update because there are a great number of people who are having the same issues I am. Honestly, it is the only option I wished I had since the first time I turned the watch on.
[Moto 360] -RioT-:
I don't understand why this is so hard. This is such a stupid over site in wear.

[Moto 360] -RioT-:
I understand that sometimes there are things we may not like BUT this seems like it should be such an easy damn fix.

[Moto 360] honki24:
I totally agree. I must have this option. No more tap to wake. I like tilt to wake but tap to wake activates on accident all the time. Can't find a solution.
[Moto 360] JeffMD:
How on earth does touch to wake constantly happen accidently but tilt to wake does not?
[Moto 360] TRLOS:
The tilt to wake works by the gyro sensor. It just means you might need to give your wrist a bit of a flick to turn the screen on.

What i don't understand is the touch to wake would have to be the most annoying thing for all wearable, and yet the developers refuse to put in the option to turn it off.

even in the upcoming update, there is no mention of including that option.
[Moto 360] JeffMD:
You mis understood my statement. I was asking how one could find the touch to wake annoying but NOT the tilt to wake. As it is.. I am actually using it just as you describe. I have tilt to wake off and then I can just touch the screen to turn it on. I don't like the tilt to wake on the moto 360, I much prefered pebbles wrist flick to wake up. As for touch to wake, I am not sure why this would be a problem, what is touching your watch that keeps turning it on?
[Moto 360] TRLOS:
Tilt to wake isn't that much of an issue for me. I actually like it the way it is.

As for the touch to wake; you name it, it's annoying.

- Crossing your arms while sitting at a table

- sitting in the car with your hand on your leg (or between your knees)

- walking past someone and having their hand brush across yours (and accidentally touching the watch)

- crossing your arms

It's not enough that it just turns on but what add to the frustration is that if you aren't cautious, the Google Speak function kicks in and starts doing all sorts of crazy stuff on your phone
