i just installed some dual 2.4A usb outlets in my house they charge very fast from 8% to 100% in about an hour, considering the Amperage on the stock charger is 1.8A it doesn't seem like it would be enough to use the phone while charging.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] xtvchi3f:
I havent used the stock charger yet but mine reads it puts out 9v@ 1.8amps or 5v@ 1.8amps. I am waiting for my battery to get really low so i can see how fast it will charge.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] turbodroid:
When the OEM charger is plugged in, swipe down and you can see it says it's being fast charged.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] mattemer:
When plugged in, my screen does say Quick Charge, and my phone charged rather fast, but still getting used to it. Even when I had my phone plugged into a normal new USB C plugged directly into my usb outlet, it seemed to charge much faster than I was expecting.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] evobyte:
Yes I understand it says fast charging, so does the quick charge 2.0 with this phone, but is it actually charging at QC 3.0 speeds??
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] turbodroid:
It seems silly they would make a Quick Charge 3.0 phone and not supply the relevant charger.

I ordered an aftermarket QC 3.0 charger, I guess I can do some comparisons when it shows up.

They didn't give a qc2.0 charger with g4
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] turbodroid:
I performed a test with the aftermarket QC 3.0 charger linked above and the one supplied with the phone. I drained to 90% and as soon as it hit 90 I plugged it in and started the timer. The results are nearly identical in how fast 100% charge was achieved.

The first screenshot of total time was the aftermarket charger and the 2nd is the factory charger. I would venture to guess based on these results, the factory charger is QC 3.0, but you can draw your own conclusions.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] geoff5093:
Well if the stock charger says 9V @ 1.8A and 5V @ 1.8A, then it's not true QC 3.0 as that uses voltages from 5V - 20V.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Noodels1987:
There only will be a minimal effect because the original charger has a 9V and 1.8A = 16W rating.

All Aftermarket charger with QC 3.0 had a maximum reading of 18W, 9V at 2A or 12v at 1.5A.

And you can't do a comparison at the last 10%percent of the charging process, because of of the method that's just to charge lithium battery's.

Lithium-ion battery see charge and discharge

Around the last 10% will be constant voltage where the charger has minimal influence. Because the internal resistance of the battery cause the amount of power that goes in the battery.

Ca you do another test with larger charge?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jrwingate6:
Before any of you rush out and buy a cheap charger to save a few bucks I'd think twice about it. I have been screwed by cheap chargers on more than one occasion which is why I refuse to buy them anymore.

I've had them stop working after a couple weeks and many of them made a very annoying noise. Some made a high pitch squealing noise while just sitting there doing nothing and others made the noise while charging.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] NeatOman:
Slow and Fast

I noticed it charged VERY slow at first while i was using the phone at the same time. I notoced the charger wasnt even slighty warm to the touch after 30+ minutes. That made me think and noticed if I left the phone at rest without turning it on it charges much quicker and the charger got warm quick. And the charger actually cools down if you start using it half way through a charge.

*I took a screen shot of the battery usage graph, but I'm new so I can't post photos yet :p so you'll have to trust me lol

My rough estimates are that if you are using the phone while charging it will take just over 2 hours, but if you don't touch it then it charges in under 50 minutes.

Mind you phones battery temperature also effects the charge rate, is if you have it on top of a pillow it might not charge as quick.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] dankify:
You don't wanna use the phone while it quick charges. Turn screen off for an hour and it will be done

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] dillmanr3:
The charger that came with the G5 is the same charger that came with my v10, it is only Quick Charge 2.0, I have compared the model #'s and they are exactly the same. I have gone on amazon and ordered a Anker Quick Charge 3.0 plug and a couple of their USB-C cables.

---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

I just contacted LG through their website via E-Mail regarding the Quick Charge 3.0 charger, I will follow-up once I receive an email back from them. The website advised that I should receive an email within 24 hours.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] turbodroid:
I have drained to 50% and am performing the same test with the factory charger now. Will update results later this evening so I can repeat with the aftermarket charger.

It's a wonder why anyone tries to share information on this site with comments like this. Since you probably only skimmed over what I posted, I said feel free to draw your own conclusions and that it was a 'quick test'.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] evobyte:
When the phone gets to 80 % the other 20% go pretty slow, might even be similar to the QC 2.0... But 50% to 100% would be a good test, and we can see if there's a difference
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jrwingate6:
I think Anker makes some really nice stuff. Anything I've gotten from them has been quality. There cables always last me longer than anyone else's and their chargers have lasted me forever.

I just found out the other day that Anker was started by a couple guy's who left Google.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] mattemer:
I thought I read somewhere "fairly" official that quick charge 3.0 is barely an improvement in charge times compared to 2.0. The biggest difference is the additional abilities you get from 3.0, charging other devices and extras like that. Maybe it was wrong?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] turbodroid:
OK here is a more definitive test. I dropped to exactly 50% twice and charged with the OEM charger and also the aftermarket charger linked above. Bottom line, there is virtually no difference.

The top pic is the OEM, and the bottom is the aftermarket. Based on my results, I would have just purchased a cheaper secondary charger if I would have known. Feel free to draw your own conclusions and choose how you spend your hard earned monies. Cheers [emoji3]

Overall, it's a great phone, glad I went from the Note 3 to this.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] turbodroid:
I don't think anyone is nitpicking. People were curious if the OEM charger was QC 3.0. I did a quick comparison between it and an aftermarket 3.0 charger and there is no difference in charge time. It appears QC 3.0 does not offer faster charge times.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] billybob275:
As silly as it sounds, LG actually did this with the G4. Phone was quick charge 2.0 compliant but the charger they shipped in the same package was not.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] dillmanr3:
Official response back from LG.... They did not include the Quick Connect 3.0 Charger with our G5... The Charger that is included is a Quick Connect 2.0 charger
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jrwingate6:
For those wondering....... Quick Charge 3.0 will not bring about a large decrease in charge time but what it will do is increase your batteries lifespan due to the increased communication between the charger and battery.

At least you can change the battery if it starts to diminish life.

Well the cable that comes with the LG g5 is maxed at 1.8 amps, we need to test on a cable that is rated higher. Preferable a belkin high speed USB c cable. I'm receiving the tronsmart USB c qc3.0. And I'll test with the Google Nexus 6p USB c cable.

Here are my charger times with stock cable from 0% battery

-30min 55%

-42min 74%

This was done with the phone off
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] turbodroid:
FYI - I used this USB 3.1 cable with my tronsmart charger in the comparison against the stock charger and cable. There was zero difference in charging time.

Quick charge is suppose to be faster by a noticeable difference?? It even says it on there website so what's up with this?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Noodels1987:
But even this charger is rated at a max output of 18 watts on the QC 3.0 USB typ C Port. That´s only a increase of around 12%.

I hoped that there is more potential.

http://www.androidauthority.com/quick-charge-3-0-explained-643053/
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] turbodroid:
That was a good article, thanks!

So a better test than what I did previously would be to test from say 20-80% and see if there is a difference in charge time between the OEM charger and the Tronsmart I purchased from Amazon. I'll see what I can do to accommodate. I'm betting the difference will be minimal.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] panamaniac:
So it sounds like all of this testing is largely moot if the main difference is better communication + more voltages=less wasted energy + longer battery life *over time*
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jrwingate6:
For a device with a replaceable battery, yea I'd say it's mostly moot.

The only thing I can think of that would matter is while you're using the phone while charging. It may not get as hot.

If I get this charger http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01...charge+3+0&dpPl=1&dpID=313K4cnrXpL&ref=plSrch

Do I need a USB A 3.0 to USB C cable?

Or a USB C to USB C?

To get quick charge 3.0 to work?

---------- Post added at 03:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 AM ----------

Also what kind of cable comes with stock charger? Is it USB A to USB C?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Noodels1987:
You need a USB A to USB C cabel.

This cabel comes with the phone.

If buy a second please don't buy a cheap one.

With a cheap cabel you damage the charger as well a the phone. There has to be a 56k ohm pull up resistor in it.

You are correct. After 80% it trickles in even with 3.0. So all these tests are pointless. Install ampere from the play store. All is well
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] MercWithAhMouth:
I've done tests from my g4 and g5, whilst my g,4 maxed out to 2100mah during charge from 20% to 80% the g5 pushed my charger to 3200mah in the same ranges. The charger was an anker QC 3.0 as this charger scales with the phone and it's max amps it can take. The time for both is moot to the 80% from 35 min for the g4 to 28 min for the g5 due to increased thresholds. Charging faster albeit miniature. This was tested with the app ampere :)

I like to point out that the LG charger is not QC 2.0, it only supports QC, if you look at the spec of the LG charger and a true QC 2.0 charger, you will notice the LG charger does not support 12V charging.

LG calls its charger fast charger because if it uses the name Quick Charge It will have to pay royalties to Qualcomm since it is their technology. It does not make sense for LG to Fork up more money just to label its charger with the same name that Qualcomm has made a name for itself on.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] kms108:
You can ask the manufacture that, samsung, HTC and LG label the charger fast charge, none of them come supplied with QC 3.0, although HTC and sony does have the charger QC 2.0 as a optional accessories.

I agree, although the LG one isn't even QC 2.0, it does charge very fast.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] mikey_sk:
in the UK the charger actually says QC 3.0
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] stuart0001:
Charges at same speed as QC3 it's just at a fixed voltage of 9v unlike the QC3 that varies according to my cheapo amp meter. I guess the only benefit of QC3 is the varying voltage could help counter longer cables & more efficient so less heat.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] fuzzgruble:
So from what I understand, QuickCharge 2.0 and QuickCharge 3.0 have basically the same maximum Wattage threshold of 18W. The biggest difference lies in the "efficiency" where on Qualcomm's website it says "Specifically, Quick Charge 3.0 offers a more granular range of voltages: 200mV increments." And I'm pretty sure that has less to do with the charger than the phone you're charging. Meaning, if the phone has the correct setup and is rated for QC 3.0 then as long as you supply a charger with enough Wattage(18W) you are "getting" QC 3.0. Basically, going out and buying a charger that has 18W of output power vs the stock charger that has has 16.2W for your G5 is probably just a waste of time.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] stuart0001:
Just starting to notice QC 3.0 coming into its own. Whilst using the phone, the non QC 3 charger is charging at about. 300mA but the QC 3.0 is at 1000mA & feels a tad cooler too.

Guess that's the advantage of granular voltages kicking in ?

Needs more testing but it seems a consistent advantage
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] panamaniac:
So does the cable need to be q.v. 3.0 as well or just the charge I bought this and it says the cable can't actually do quick charge.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] stuart0001:
Definitely better charging rate with QC3 when screen on. 1st 2 images are LG non QC 3.0, 3rd & 4th are QC 3.0

The former seems to pick up a little when temp goes below 35c but still not a patch on the latter.

(yellow marker indicates when screen on)
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] smacsteve:
Your test is very flawed. A test from 90% back up to 100% shouldn't reveal much if any differences between a Quick Charge 2.0 and a QC 3.0 The reason is that the whole point of the Quick Charge technology developed by Qualcomm is to have a very rapid charge from a battery that is at or near 0% and get it to 50% in a very short time. Then as the battery reaches its full capacity it slows down to a normal rate so as to not damage the battery. If you let your batteries drain to less than 15-20% and then try your test you'll get a much different complete charging time.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] okgnew:
Some G5 fast charging compatibility data

I have noticed that G5 is rather picky about fast charging adapter. Below are my observations:

Good results:

G5 with G5 adapter (rated 9V 1.8A) - fast charging (2000 mA)

G5 with Nexus6 adapter (rated 12V 1.2A) - fast charging (2000 mA)

G5 with HTC QC 2.0 certified adapter (rated 12V 1.5A) - fast charging (2000 mA)

Bad results:

G5 with Samsung fast charging travel adapter (rated 5V 2A) - slow charging (500 mA)

G5 with Asus fast charging adapter (rated 9V 2A) - slow charging (500 mA)

G5 with Nexus5X fast charging adapter (rated 5V 3A) - slow charging (500 mA)

G5 with Nexus6P fast charging adapter (rated 5V 3A) - slow charging (500 mA)

Also I have noticed that cables do not make any difference to charging: I have 5 different USB TypeA->TypeC cables and 4 different microUSB->TypeC adaptors - they show no difference to charging current at all.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] stuart0001:
What are you using to give you the mA values? I use 3C but get different to yours.

All QC 3.0 & 2.0 give me 3A when screen off & 6P charger gave me about 2A if memory serves, it was certainly a lot more than 500mA.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] okgnew:
I'm using 'Sensor Sense' app to read the battery charging current value.

Does your Nexus6P look similar to mine (see attached image)?

Mine definitely does not give more than 500 mA to my G5 when the screen is on and it does not show 'fast charging' message/notification :(
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] stuart0001:
Yes, looks just like that. Screen on charge rate is indeed greatly reduced. I thought your rates were screen off. Particularly as you stated the LG charger gave you 2A as I only get 1A screen on or 3A screen off.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] okgnew:
Yes, I do get 1780 mA (so a bit less than 2A) battery charging current from standard LG G5 charger (rated 9V 1.8A = 16.2 W) even when the screen is on.

So it does not make much sense that I can only get around 500 mA battery charging current from Nexus 5X/6P chargers (both rated 5V 3A = 15 W).

Looks like G5's circuitry is not capable of taking full 3A from 5V input.

This sucks considering that Nexus 5X was also made by LG and it can take full 3A from 5V input.
