[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] mickfitz:
Ok i just went to the store and played with the p9+ charger and the phone doesn't indicate it's charging fast. Screen still says charging. With the stock charger if I play a game it drains even when plugged in so I tested with the 9v 2A and no difference.

I'm yet to see anything official from huawei about fast charging for the p9 so I'm having my doubts. Can anyone show me a screenshot saying fast charging on the lock screen?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] dedovec:
?

Huawei's fast charging works at full rates only if you not using the phone. When you use the phone, charging rates drop down due to protection of overheating. Ampere says:

Screen off: + 2800mA

Screen on: varies from +200mA to +1800mA

If someone needs real fast charging, 1+3 is the correct device.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] mickfitz:
Thank you. Now I can argue with them :)
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] mickfitz:
Ok now it's confirmed. I made the phone shop staff open a p9+ and let me test the charger. It works and even the staff didn't know that it works on the p9.

So now I got them to order me through the service division a brand new p9 plus charger for roughly 16 USD. Good day all round. Thanks for the help.

I'm based Thailand btw.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Kutusov:
Just buy a type B to type C adapter like this: https://www.anker.com/products/B8174011

Or, if you want to use the fast charger and still use it to charge other regular micro USB devices, the reversed adapter: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Type-C-USB-...549757?hash=item5b2463e27d:g:fQQAAOSwYmZXMAw8

It's not like you'll be having anything else type C for a while, so this is probably a better option than duplicating the jungle of chargers and cables we already have. Plus, from the tests I've seen, USB C doesn't really show the promised faster transfer rates to a PC, or at least not yet.

Bit of an off topic side note... Honor 8 seems like an interesting phone, bit like a P9 with the slightly less faster but (theoretically) more power efficient 950 SoC from the Mate 8. Very curious to see how that goes as I really need to get me a new phone ASAP!!
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] mickfitz:
That's more like it. Thanks to this thread.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Sp910:
What charger did you order? I know the Mate 8 charger works for Fast Charging but all the chargers I find on eBay are cheap knock-offs which aren't guaranteed to work. I've attached pictures of a genuine Mate 8 Fast charger which I got with my Mate 8, need another one for my dads P9.

Edit: can't seem to post link and I have no idea how to attach pictures, so here is the album: imgur(.)com/a/isgxa

I got the original p9+ charger ordered from the service centre.

Nobody stocks them in stores anywhere.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] colthekid:

Minor difference in the Model No: UHQ instead of CHQ on mine, but looks the same apart from that.

I live in a major Asian city and couldn't find a single Huawei accessory in any store after two days of searching.

The brand isn't there yet. It's all Samsung and Apple.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] dedovec:
Works as expected, but came with normal USB cable, not with USB- C.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Kutusov:
Same thing is virtually true even for the internet. You do have way more trouble finding one of these chargers than you would expect from what is now a mainstream, well known brand. I know they are much bigger on sales than Huawei but a lot easier to find Xiaomi or Meizu stuff on the interweb and that still sounds odd to me.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] jonmorris:
I found it hard enough to buy a P9 case (official) and wound up importing one as Huawei didn't even have them on its own vMall website (for Europe).

Likewise, I've found it hard to find chargers and other accessories.

As you say, for such a big player (and one that has been around for ages) it is very odd to find it so disorganised with accessories.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Kutusov:
And not just their accessories... look at this thread, people can't even tell if the thing fast charges or not, took a community to find that out because officially nothing is mentioned.

I don't know, this got me cold feet regarding the P9 and now I have a phone that I urgently need to replace and am back to square one. Price on the Honor 8 could change my mind but that will probably take too long to get here in Europe and I can't wait that long.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] jonmorris:
It doesn't help when there are so many handset variants and no real way to tell which is which. The Honor 7 having various versions, some with NFC, some without. Dual SIM or not. The Mate S having Force touch and not, depending on model. The P9 Plus having it, or does it?

The Honor 5c having a fingerprint sensor in China, but not in Europe...

I know you can tell from the actual model number, but this isn't often mentioned when the phones are on sale online - and there were plenty of questions about which version we were getting in retail here. Initially we were told dual-SIM, then it turned out not to be the case..
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Kutusov:
Well, we are dealing with Asian companies that have the main market in Asia, so we aren't used to this way of doing things. We might have to be though, Europe and US markets are nothing compared to Asia, plus we have all the lawyers filing lawsuits because "hey, we invented the round button! Give us 50 million!". Expensive doing business here.

Qualcomm's QC 2.0 will not fast charge a Huawei P9 I have tried it
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] ylapas:
Only Huawei branded chargers will work. Just received this one. Works perfectly.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/122023989023
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] ylapas:
And it works in very interesting way. Yet I think it really saves a battery. I have a power meter in my 220V power outlet. At first charger kicks at 16W power mode. Later another mode I've noticed was some kind of trickle charging, when power meter showed the charger changing it's power used: 16W - 11.5W - 16W - 11.5W. Just more later - steady 11.5W. And it has to do a lot not with how much battery left, but with it's temperature. If your phone just feels warm in your hand - the charger won't kick to 16W mode even at the beginning.

---------- Post added at 06:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 AM ----------

The final result here: started charging at 34%. 30 minutes later I had 74%. With 3000mAh battery inside 40 percent in 30 minutes seems to be quite impressive to me :)
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] mikko1:
Hi,

For everyday charging I use stock charger from box, but I have a problem when I am in my car. I have bought a charger Tronsmart C2PTU which has QuickCharge function. Regardless max charging power is from 250 mA to 450 mA. What is the reason? I use original Huawei cable USB-A<>USB-C.

Thanks in advance for reply.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] ylapas:
Huawei doesn't support Qualcomm Quick Charge. All QC chargers will charge phone at usual 5V mode. Huawei uses it's own technology.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] mikko1:
I don't even dream about quick charge but most of car charges charge very slow so using google maps navi with yanosik app cause discharge despite charge. There is a little better with Tronsmart but this is not what I wonder.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Kutusov:
QC is an adaptive charger, so there's "communication" between phone and the charger. I'm guessing that because Huawei doesn't use that system, the charger is putting out a lot less power. See if you can try a regular 1A/5V or even better a 5v/2A car charger. Should be a passive process with nothing controlling the output-input.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] AdiHotdog:
Hi all,

Anyone else getting overheating issues around the battery area after using the quick charger?

Thanks

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] thefiqs:
Same problem. I have an Anker QC charger and it is working flawlessly with OPO and LGG4 but every port it has charges my P9 pretty slow. Just wondering, can it be the cable? First QC port. Second normal.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] colthekid:
I would suggest a different cable as I get much higher charging speeds from my QC2.0 charger. Remember the P9 isn't a Qualcomm QC phone, but you should still get quicker speeds. LTE/4G Data on will bring it down though.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Kutusov:
It's not the cable, Huawei QC is proprietary and it will only work with their chargers. Even if it is a 2v/9A quick charge, a QC compatible brick like your Anker will only give you 1A/5V.

They weren't explicit about this on the P9 and didn't include the proper faster charger, also not very explicit with the P9+ but included the proper charger but they did mention the proprietary fc technology a few days ago on the Honor 8 launch.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] thefiqs:
LG G5 cable. Noname 5V/2A charger.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Kutusov:
If you go back to the first couple of pages, you'll see that the P9 acknowledges "fast charging" with a message on the lock screen just like other phones do. It only does that though with their chargers so it sounds like it is an active technology just like QC quickcharge 2 or 3 or Samsung's Adaptive Charge, not just how many watts you can dump to the battery.

You might get a better time with a better conductive cable but it's down to the SOC and the power brick.

There's some numbers on those first pages also but essentially you get pretty much the same charging time using a QC 3.0 as you get with the standard, non-fast charger stock charger that comes with the phone (2A/5V and little bit above 2 hours from 0 to 100%). There's a significant difference using Huawei's proper charger, getting you somewhere around the 1 hour and 20/30 minutes from 0 to 100%.

PS: I might have confused you because I didn't address the issue clearly. The charger that comes with the phone is not the fast charger. You have to buy it separately and it's not a 2A/5V, it's a 2A/9V. Hope that helps!
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] thefiqs:
Yeah thank you. I know those infos read about them pages back. Just wondered could be the cable because others getting way much better results with normal chargers. I don't want quickcharge with the 2A/5V chargers just some proper result. If you tell me the 1.3mAh is completely fine I will just calm dawn a bit and admit it is not a defective phone. (I bought it second hand in perfect condition without charger/unboxed, 2 weeks old btw.)
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Kutusov:
Oh sorry, I missed the gist of your question as I wasn't able to see the picture but I can now. Yes, theoretically you should be getting more but, then again, I see your battery is at 90% so it might be normal for it to trickle charge at that level. It's hard to say, could also be a cable, brick, phone problem or phone settings (I ended up going for a different phone and it does have a setting where QC can be turned off). So it doesn't rule out phone damage but I would think it highly unlikely (based purely on gut feeling). 1.3A charge won't damage the phone though, the problem would be if it was pumping a lot more wattage than it's meant to get.

You should be getting a 0-100 charge a bit above 2 hours with the Anker, so try different bricks and cables, check if there is any charging setting and check the times. I would rely more on the charging times than on those readings.

But I'm with you, I would check all of the above to rule out phone damage. Better safe than sorry and I would worry too... Sorry for not being able to be more helpful.

This is on P9+ (and sorry for the messy setup). I am not sure if we can take values reported by the app on its face value. With the charger it came with, I can do fast charger just fine. I also have QC2.0 charger which does not fast charge, however...

Now you are getting me confused... you've seen already the "fast charging" pictures and the much faster charging times from people that get the appropriate charger on this thread... or are you guys saying that Huawei's fast charging just isn't up to name as QC, Samsung's and Oppo/OP's tech is better?

If support fast charging, you can check the site IFIXIT: Huawei P9 . step 6
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] ylapas:
I feel like I need to end this endless discussion. Huawei P9 supports fast charging. But it doesn't have fast charger included so you need to buy it separately. On eBay genuine one costs around 15 EUR, not less, while in the official store here it is around 25 EUR. Huawei uses it's own fast charging system, so none of QC 2.0, QC 3.0 or Samsung Fast Adaptive Chargers will work, forger and don't even try. Tested them all. Only one Huawei branded charger will do it's job. See all attachments below. Just buy a right charger, what's it. Simple. It supports fast charging as the P9+
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] bunnybash:
what sucks is that they haven't made that charger with Australian plug pins. So if we want to use a fast charger we have to use an adaptor. Although I will say that the Chromebook Pixel charger charges the phone damn fast even if it's not officially "fast charging" it.

Hey guys you want this one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017LXNRLM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Kutusov:
I say the original charger is fast enough, you get a full charge in slightly more than 2 hours? It's a 30 to 40 minute difference from the other one, not a huge difference. And it's continual charging, not the initial burst of the QC when the battery is almost out but 5W or whatever it is when you are just topping it up (just trying to make you feel better, sucks they haven't done an Australian version when they sell the phone over there...)

I hadn't look at a Chrome charger before, that's an insanely powerful brick! 60w??? I know the phone will cap that out (or it would probably explode or vent) but what times do you get with that one?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] bunnybash:
I actually need to test it out. I mainly use it to just top up the charge. Never done a significant charge with it. I'll have to charge it up and see what happens in regards to measuring time.

So I have this 3-year old Pineng 10k mAh powerbank which charges my Meizu M2 Note fine on the 5V 2A slot. Plugged in the P9 and it takes roughly twice as long to charge. I'm guessing it only outputs around ~1A instead of the rated 2A from that slot (also tested with Ampere app). Tried it on an Asus Zenpower and it charges the same as the wall plug. Is there a compatibility issue with USB type-C and older powerbanks? Also, can a Zenpower Pro (9V 2A output) fast charge a P9? I'm looking at getting the Pro, but if it doesn't fast charge, I'll just get a regular zenpower and live with 5V 2A.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] colthekid:

As far as I'm aware only chargers with Huawei's "Fast Charge" built in will charge at 9v2a
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] goldcrow:
So that means other chargers/powerbanks with 9V 2A output can't fast charge the P9 unless it's the Huawei branded ones? I'm hoping someone with another branded charger like an Aukey/Anker with QC 2.0/3.0 can chime in.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] colthekid:
This is the 2nd time I've had to quote you [MENTION=4282257]mickfitz[/MENTION] ... Sorry! :laugh:

For the Xth time, the P9 is NOT a Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 or 3.0 phone and QC 2.0 or 3.0 chargers (mains or portable) will only charge at a max 5V2A (Aukey/Anker included). The ONLY chargers that we are currently aware of that will fast charge (9V2A) the P9 are Huawei's own mains chargers (there are links to buy on various pages in this thread) and the Honor portable battery I linked to.

Huawei's Fast Chargers are also Qualcomm QC compatible, but NOT the other way around.

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] goldcrow:
Don't need to stress out on me, I need confirmation since some people from my local P9 users group have been reporting the fast charge to be working on the Asus Zenpower Pro and some other no-name powerbanks. I don't want to have to import a very expensive Honor-branded powerbank just to use it.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] colthekid:
Sorry, probably worded my post a little harsher than I meant to, it's just this question has been asked over and over again!

I would doubt the Zenpower is actually fast charging the P9, the product page & specs on the Asus website only mentions Qualcomm Quick Charge and not the Huawei's Hi-Silicon Fast Charge protocol. If it doesn't have the Hi-Silicon protocol, then it won't Fast Charge.

On the P9, you get a notification flash up that it is Fast Charging, a double "lightning bolt" next to the battery icon & the lockscreen says Fast Charging, if it is actually Fast Charging. It may be worth checking with your local group that this is actually happening (screenshots etc). If they are not getting these indications then it is NOT Fast Charging.

The Zenpower (and others) may seem like they are Fast Charging, but a 5V2A charger (mains or portable) does actually charge the P9 quite quickly, certainly much quicker than a 5V1A charger does, so it may just "appear" to be Fast Charging when it actually isn't. In addition to the Honor PowerBank, I have an Anker 10000mAh portable battery which charges my P9 perfectly quickly for normal use, but despite it being a QC3.0 charger, it doesn't Fast Charge my P9.

I'll try to get some proof of their claims. My question now is, why can my older Meizu M2 Note draw close to 2A easy from my old Pineng PN910 (output 5V 2.1A) but the P9 can only draw 1A? I'm using the stock USB-C cable here. Is there an issue with older USB slots compatibility with these newer type-C cables? It doesn't make sense at all.
