[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
From my testing the QC 3.0 charger, in QC 2.0 mode, is maybe 25% faster than a high current USB charger. I haven't done the time testing because it is of little practical matter: if I have a QC charger handy then that is preferable but otherwise the phone does a good job of using a 2.4A USB charger.

I suspect what is tripping up folks is the need to have a proper USB data cable - not charge cable - which is relatively short with large gauge wires. All high speed charging regimens use the USB data lines to coordinate charging; there are different protocols used (Apple is a big outlier) and not all phone/charger combinations work quickly. Some USB charge cables do not include the data lines, and several of the USB voltmeter/ammeter units can block the data lines, resulting in slow charging. Thin wires are resistive and reduce the voltage seen at the phone, so get (short) large wires (low numerical gauge) for charging.

Given an adequate charger with appropriate protocols the limiting factor in charging is the ability of the battery to absorb charge. At 5V (normal USB) that appears to be about 0.75W for the A9 (5V*1.5A=7.5W). With the 9V available with QC protocols that appears to be about 1.1W (9V*1.2A=1.1W). The higher voltage is capable of forcing a faster charge rate, but not by a huge amount. The fact that the charger is capable of providing higher current is irrelevant: the phone will simply not draw that much current because the battery can't absorb the energy that fast. Higher currents may be seen if the phone is also consuming power for the display and processing, but that is not affecting the charge rate.

If this is a bit much, then just consider that a basic high current USB charger works just fine. The one that HTC includes with the A9 is rated at 5V/1.5A, which is as much as my A9 can use with the basic high current USB protocol. Buying a QC 2.0 charger will give a faster charge, but not dramatically so - hardly worth replacing the basic charger but a good choice if you need a new one. And QC 3.0 is currently vaporware so no need to speculate - if buying a new charger it is worth considering as a hedge on future developments.

If the A9's QC 2.0 charging doesn't appear as fast as on other phones, it may be due to HTC's programming of the feature - or not. It is very difficult to know, as there are other influences such as the specific battery used. But why worry? Just enjoy the great phone, and consider planning ahead for charging instead of needing to jam a charge into it to get through the day.

Thanks for your response,

The problem shouldn't be coming from the cable as I am using a high speed usb cable with a data line. I guess HTC prevented the phone from charging at a higher voltage than 5V to avoid battery damage, but then why speak about a QC 2.0 compatibility. Some phones on the market can charge at 2amps without the need of the QC technology.

Anyway, the stock charger works indeed fine and does the job, 90min is not that bad.

[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
The "high speed USB cable" is meaningless as far as charging goes. Look for the actual size of the power carrying wires inside: Tronsmart and Anker offer cables that have 20AWG power wires - much larger than normal - and will thus have less resistance and voltage drop. This matters especially for the 5V chargers; with 9V the current required to charge at the same rate as 5V is little more than half so suffers less from the resistance.

Until recently the USB specifications have required 5V only, and all devices start with the expectation of 5V on both ends. Only if both the phone and charger negotiate a higher voltage will the charger switch up (otherwise there would be a lot of damaged phones out there). Using a standard high power USB charger (5V, 2.1-2.4A) a phone charging at 10W would need 2A (10W/5V=2A). When using a QC 2.0/3.0 charger that negotiates 9V with the A9 the same 10W rate would only need 1.1A; the A9 is never going to be able to accept a charge rate of 2A at 9V - and it doesn't need to. In practice as I wrote previously the 5V charging is only happening at approx. 7.5W, or about 1.5A, and again this is largely the result of the battery - and particularly the fact that it is much smaller than other phone batteries so has a lower charge acceptance rate, but not longer charge times.

[HTC One A9] Bee05:
The cable I use is an anker gold plated, possibly 20awg. But it seems the new update I received today on my A9 includes the quick charge 3.0 !

I haven't tested it for a complete charge but apparently it should take a bit less than an hour vs 1h40 previously, perfect :)
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
Is QC 3.0 listed in the changes for your new firmware? Basically, how do you know? I really wish HTC would indicate whether they are charging with normal USB mode, QC 2.0, or QC 3.0. If nothing else it would reinforce the advantage to the customer.

Last week I ordered a Tronsmart QC 3.0 car charger, with one QC port and two high-power USB ports ("IQ"). I'm looking forward to using it...

Greg
[HTC One A9] Bee05:
Just tested it yesterday, 57min for a full 0 to 100% charge :good:

Qc 3.0 was listed in the update informations. It still doesn't show up on the phone, but it is far quicker.

Seems to be charging at 2100mA

And I also bought the QC 3.0 anker car charger last week btw, and it works as fast

[Galaxy Tab S2 Accessories] darrylb4570:
I have Galaxy Tab S2 LTE and it's not compatible. Main issue is the Gear Manager app cannot load.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Accessories] Zagzagel:
I have the international Galaxy Tab S2 (SM-T815) with voice capability, and it really irritates me that the Gear S2 is incompatible with it. It would be nice to use the watch and tablet together, instead of needing a phone simply to install Gear Manager. I suppose you can sideload the Gear Manager apk on the tablet, but it's inconvenient.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Accessories] kms108:
Side upload is not possible, it won't detect the watch, I have tried it at the samsung shop.

I had a S4 mini at that time with android 4.2 which you need 4.3 and above to work, thats why I tried to pair it with the tablet (Tab S2 SM-T715), now I have a V10 which should work, just waiting for the rose gold version of the classic, since the 3G version isn't available in my country.

[Android Head-Units] NotYourDroid:
I've found this unit on eBay, item 301778626466, (I'm still too new to post links. Sorry)

6.2 screen, dvd, two knobs, four buttons on each side of screen (slightly angled toward screen in and down)

The title states the head unit is 1024x600, but per this forum, I check the description and which states the resolution is 800x480. I contacted the seller about the discrepancy. They responded, stating the resolution is 800x480. However, due to the poorly written description, and poor email exchange I'm left wondering. I really like how Pupug has the buttons laid out and labeled when compared to how other vendors repackage and label their buttons (same chassis). Having the buttons labeled as Home, Menu, Back, Navi, >>, <<, radio, and phone make the most sense to me.

Does anyone know if this model is available with the higher screen resolution? Where?

Thanks,
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user1254:
Hi everyone,

i have a xperia z1 compact phone and i'm a newbie in the world of custom rom, kernels, ecc..

A few days ago i flashed a new custom rom and the phone is working pretty well, but i have a question here..

Can i use a stock firmware (let's say original lollipop 5.1) with just a new kernel?

I was thinking about not installing a completely new rom but just a new kernel and the xposed installer to change something on this phone, is that possible?

If android releases a new version of android and i upgrade my version, do i have to reinstall the kernel? And some apps from sony's firmware are quite useless (at least for me), could i delete them just like a new rom? (ofc with root)

I just want a stock firmware with a new kernel that can use less battery possibly.. I don't need overclocking or stuff like that, just battery life i would say..

Sorry my bad english though and thank you all for your attention!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
There are at least a couple of custom kernel options in this forum. Check ' development' and 'original development' threads. You can usually tell if they work for stock if they have either 'stock' or a build number, (e.g. 368), in the thread title. Otherwise they may be CM based, and won't work.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user1254:
Thank you for your answer.

Is there much difference beetwen build numbers? (757,368,242,...) i searched on the net but i didn't find something really useful to let me understand the difference D:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
Android 5.1 on this phone is .368.

5.0 is .270 or .242

The others are KitKat, (either 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, or 4.4).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F308:
For the first - as always - be 120% sure that kernel you want to install is compatible with remaining system parts.

Base thing - stock to stock, non-stock to non-stock, but it is not everything.

Changes between versions them may be too big to play together.

You don't put any tires to any car. You need to know that dimensions fit.

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasischlos:
Hi.

I am not able to connect with adb when my device is in TWRP Recovery Mode.

Is there a way to enable that?

I heard it would be possible to adb push files to my device without ruining all the timestamps when pushing it in recovery mode.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hetalk:
Reboot your phone into recovery. Connect to pc.

Go to device manager. You should see a device with yellow triangle. Right click on it and click on update drivers. Select driver manually from list. Select "adb interface" or something of the sort.

Now try to see if you can access device thru adb.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasischlos:
Well i know about the ADB Driver handling, and of course i checked my device manager while my phone was connected in recovery mode.

Had to install the driver, but still no access.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goolac:
Now before this becomes a free for all, let me expound on this query. The MXPE allows a unique opportunity if you are on Straight Talk.

My activation kit came with ATT, TMobile, and Verizon LTE sims, and now I have a phone that can use any of them. I am currently on ATT network but have been hearing that Verizon is a better network around these parts (zip, 47715).

Hence the question. Which is better? I have always heard that CDMA takes more power than TDMA(GSM) so factor that in as well.

well, this may be a non-starter I just found out that Straight Talk has modified the terms of service for CDMA phones on Verizon LTE they have cut the data back to 3Gs/mo. AT&T and Tmobile are both at 5Gs/mo. Although I do not use much data it would suck to switch and then also give up 2Gs of data per month.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Yosso:
Hello guys. Obviously, this is my first post. I did soft-bricked my LG L7 phone 2 days ago. I foolishly flashed a wrong ROM that was meant for L5 devices and the result was, when it rebooted, showed a blue screen. I searched for a solution but I can't find a direct answer.

Be sure to remove your sim and sd card before doing the steps below, just to keep things in order.

1. Download LG Mobile Support Tool from official LG website, install and run it as administrator. Wait for a while, it might take a minute to show up.

2. Put your phone in emergency mode: remove battery, press and hold volume up (+), then plug into computer using your USB cable. You will see a yellow screen with "emergency mode!!" on it. Then, immediately put the battery back.

3. Click "Install USB driver" in the LG Support Tool after your device has been detected. It will auto download and install the United Mobile Driver. Ignore other zip files that will pop-up.

4. Click "Options" then "Upgrade Recovery". If all is right, it will analyze your phone. It will also download and install the stock firmware of your device. Have a glass of wine first and wait it to finish its operation then close afterwards. Your device should reboot.

5. Unplug USB cable. Remove battery and after a minute reinsert it. Turn your phone on. If you're stuck on LG logo then proceed to the next step.

6. Do a HARD RESET:

1.Power off your phone

2.Press together with left hand volume down + power button

3.When the led of the bottom of the phone lights on,touch and hold the menu key with your right hand

4.When phone vibrates release power button

5.Release all the keys of the phone before Lg logo disappears

6.Wait until the phone restarts​

You can also search for youtube on how to exactly do a hard reset.

That's it! :D

[HTC Desire Eye] agnostu:
Hi folks,

I've got a new desire EYE, and I'm really excited about android development, previusly I've followed the HTC one s forum (but two weeks ago someone stole my beloved device), I'm not a developer, I'm just curious and I want to learn.

This is my first post in this forum and before going on I want to say that I really appreciate all the efforts made by developer, so I want to contribute, in my little.

After flashing this rom and look in the catlog to find out something about the front camera bug I've found that was missing a lib and that the camera button wasn't working... So this is my fix!

- for the camera button: just add

key 212 CAMERA WAKE
key 211 FOCUS

in /system/usr/keylayout/device-keypad.kl

- the front camera: the catlog say that lib "libhtc_humanprocess.so" was missing in system/lib

push this lib from /data/app/com.htc.camera-1/lib/arm/ and voilà the camera is working!

I would like to post this in the tread, but this is my first post, hope I can help in the future :)

I would ask if someone could point me some tips about building kernel for this device, i will be very grateful

Sorry for my bad enghlis!

See as I have explain I can't use any of my cameras without short circuiting my battery. So I have my ribbons disconnected , that's why I couldn't fix it myself.... But my question is did you push my camera fixes and then libhtc_humanprocess.so or what... Next rom update already has GPS fixed. Just need to narrow down the camera issue .
[HTC Desire Eye] luisitox22:
Wish i could be a little more savy and assist you. I tried your rom with the camera fix. (that work with back camera but front one freezes) and tried running ADB from my pc and it gave me an "Access denied". when i tried using LOGCAT, it told me it could not write a log.txt file.

Does your rom have read and write permission enabled? what do you suggest?

Thanks!
[HTC Desire Eye] agnostu:
I've flashed camera camera fix 2 and after that i've pushed the missing lib (i've noticed that it was missing also in the rom zip)

Can I ask one question about s-off?

I remember that I've s-off my one s (about two years ago) because if the phone is still s-on is impossible to flash kernel directly from recovery (and it must be done using fastboot). After flashing your rom my device was stuck in recovery and it want boot after forcing reboot.. I tried to flash charm kernel zip from recovery and the phone boot.. so my question is: I still have to flash kernel by fastboot? just for information

However i'm running insertcoin rom from about five hours and it's incredible fast and smooth! Everything is working aside GPS, but if you said that you alredy have a fix that's a great news! :)
[HTC Desire Eye] xXminiWHOOPERxX:
Did you flash the rom and then camera fix 2 then booted and pushed lib.... Or did you flash ic , boot it, then flash camera fix 2 and then push lib?
[HTC Desire Eye] agnostu:
Wipe data and system, flash rom and camera fix, boot (it doesn't boot, I've to flash also charm kernel) than finally boot e pushed lib via x-plore
