[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Intraducinmista:
So I was charging my phone like usual. And I was slightly aware that there was a compatibility issue between QC 3.0 and Type-C.

HOWEVER, tonight at about 12amish GMT. I kept smelling a burning smell... Which I thought it was my cat. but then when I decided to charge my phone using my Lumia 950 XL charger. I discovered the port had been burnt, and the cape and phone where burning ****ing hot! I felt the type-c plug from the charge against my top-lip and I got burnt...

I'm writing this a bit panic-y as I want everyone to just know TO BE CAREFUL. I'm not sure what exactly caused this as I have looked after the phone as if its my baby. Always case and a screen protector. I have a feeling this is down to compatibility!?

Anyone with similar issues, suggestions or such?

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] guyverzero:
The Lumia is c to c right? If so, yeah there were lots of reported issues where people used various c to c cables with a c brick (most were pixel or nexus chargers that I saw) that had the same issues you did. Think it ended up being that the 10 doesn't have the right safe checks in place to stop charging at 100%, and it just keeps trying to push 3 amps even when fully charged (could be wrong about that though)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Intraducinmista:
mmm.. the phone was charging from almost nothing... I think I was charging it from about 20% using a zuk z1 cable plugged into my computer that was connected to a usb 3.0 port. the cable is 3.0 standard and the phone is 3.1 if I rememeber
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Intraducinmista:
ive just added images into the original post
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Haldi4803:
You don't Push Amps, you pull em, you Push Voltage.

The phone decides how much amps it wants to draw.

More likely missing cables inside the cable or bad quality Connector.

Was it an original Microsoft Cable from the 950 or bought afterwards?

P.S can't see the pictures. Just my bad Internet?

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Intraducinmista:
UPDATE: ok so, I've taken it back to the place I brought it from and they sent it to the repair centre (carphone warehouse). They've turned round and said tis water damage but I disagree as I do not like to keep my gadgets in places that are potential for issues. Will be taking it up with the shop. failing that, Trading Standards.

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME; does water corrosion look similar to that of corrosion caused by excessive current or connection shorting?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] afuller42:
I had a ps4 controller do the same thing. it was cause by the cable was not 100% plugged into the controller port. it was still able to charge a bit but after awhile I noticed a burning smell... same results
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dottat:
I would be looking for blue oxidation if it was water damage.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Intraducinmista:
By any chance green oxidation would indicate electrical corrosion from shorting of the contacts?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] cavist:
QC3.0 cannot exists as TypeC output, also the standard is not supported by USB consortium which developed USB Power Delivery instead.

Benson Leung warned people, that type c to type c charging should be avoided.

Even HTC10 does not follow the official usb specification and uses QC so best any user can do, i using legacy USB type A to type c cable and using charger with USB A output port. Also all cables must have 56k ohm resistor, cheap one come with 11k resistor and could damage power charger or the device. Check Bensons google+, he even linked to Tronsmart chargers which were out of specification and should be avoided.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Intraducinmista:
Yeh, I became aware of this when the QC3.0 was released. Though, my assumption was because I'm connecting between usb type-c to the phones type-c it wouldn't charge off the QC3.0 standard.

Initially, I was using the Nokia type-C charger which came with my Lumia 950XL. It charges at 15 Watts (5V, 3.0A). I had used this the majority of the time and hadn't gone wrong. Sometimes I'd use a portable battery charge which charged at a generic 5V 2A AND a Samsung nexus 10 charger which was a usb female and charged a the same rate.

I would've assumed (also judging from the new releases by QUALCOMM) that QC3.0 phones would either charge of USB standard OR take advantage of QC. I've never used type-c to type-c charging only because I never had the capability. There is a slider in the settings menu to use USB3.1 standard but again, never used it. always done this through a usb3.0 to usb type-c cable.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] cavist:
HTC10 charges normaly from any standard legacy USB port like your old HTC M7 usb wall charger or notebook usb ports. QC3.0 uses data lines in usb cable to provide power and this method is not approved by the USB consortium, thats why you can not also communicate with your phone in QC3.0 mode, because there is no free lines for data left. You can either fast charge, or switch to standard usb mode and transfer files without QC3.0.

USB TypeC standard forbids strictly manouvers over the cable like QC does. For this, the newest Chromebooks and Nexus uses approved USB Power Delivery.

The "problem" was, that Qualcomm is also part of research and development of USB Power Delivery but yet, they in the same time were developing QC3.0. Was it for pure marketing purpose or to fill the gap between USB PD going live, we can not tell.

The only way now to end this confusion is to wait for Qualcomm to switch for USB PD as a successor of QC3.0 because there is really no point of two competing charging standards which one is spec certified and the other is not.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Intraducinmista:
so would this mean I will need to set my phone to file transfer mode if I want to charge from USB?

Also, for reference, is there a way to disable quick charge 3.0 (which I assume may be present in the build.prop file OR am I thinking more noob like)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] cavist:
No, you must understand how usb and QC3 works. I will try to explain it as simply as I can.

Legacy USB have 4 cables inside, two for data transfer, one for curent and one for ground.

If you plug your phone to the usb in notebook, you can charge and transfer data in the same time.

What QC3.0 does, it is using the data paths for providing additional power, so when you plug it to your QC3 charger, it uses all the data routes/cables in USB only for additional and faster charging, so the data connection is blocked in this mode.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Intraducinmista:
Ok, just came back from Carphone Warehouse. It looks as if the phone has corroded more during the time I've given it to them and the time its taken for it too come back.

The colour of the corrosion was of a greenish hue.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Intraducinmista:
I'm awar eof this, but my question is if it can be disabled on the phone or not.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] cavist:
Never heard of disabling QC. I do not think that HTC will provide any tool to disable built in chipset feature.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] holz75:
Does this include QC 2.0 or does the problem only concern 3.0? I've been using my M9 QC 2.0 chargers as well, and they work great. I'm not sure if "safe" is the right word, but is it safer to charge via 2.0 than 3.0?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] cavist:
Both QC2 and QC3 are not USB spec power delivery standards.

The only valid standard is USB Power Delivery used in Chromebook and by Apple products.

Benson Leung asked a good question, why such a big company like HTC or others adopted QuickCharge rather than implement USB PD. That we do not know, maybe they got a huge discount for Snapdragons from Qualcomm to promote QuickCharge that way?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jsaxon2:
I'm pretty sure that QC3.0 does not use the data lines to provide power. If you have a source to correct me, please share.

QC3.0 uses the datalines to complete a handshake to allow the phone and charger to communicate. Once the handshake is established, it continues to use the datalines to allow the phone to tell the charger what voltage/amperage it wants.

" both Quick Charge and USB Power Delivery require a digital handshake and then the correct commands to be exchanged over the USB data lines (D+ and D- lines) between the charger and device in order to configure a higher rate of charging. If the handshake does not occur or the correct information is not exchanged, this standards will default to provide their bare minimum amount of power, which is likely to be a very smartphone friendly 5V 1A output. "

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] cavist:
I am not familiar with the specification sheet so I do not want to confuse anyone, I read the discussion in comments and on reddit about QC and tried to put it in the simple words, my english is bad so please correct me.

http://www.extremetech.com/mobile/2...m-quick-charge-are-fundamentally-incompatible

The QC standard takes D-/D+ for constant negotation of power delivery hence the unusable transfers of data while charging using QC method. That should clear the confusion I think?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Intraducinmista:
So on this basis, if I plug the MacBook usb type c charger or chrome book type c charger into my htc 10, will it still charge or the device burn out or come up with a compatibility error or such. I remember walking into apple and plugging my Lumia 950 XL into the MacBook type-c cable and charging happy with it!
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] cavist:
It will charge but not fast charge. The problem is, when you use for example 5V/1A charger with wrong cable and the phone tries to pull more energy from the charger that it supplies. That is way there is so much fuss about 56k resistors in the usb plugs.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Intraducinmista:
OK, so came back from the CPWH. They tried to use the QC SD810 as an example of heating which will cause condensation In the room and such. The inspection was carried out by a HTC Certified engineer. This wasn't satisfactory as the engineer isn't a qualified engineer BUT was a technician with approval from HTC which doesn't hinder warranty. So requested a that an electrical engineer with qualification at degree/masters level give detailed explanation into the corrosion and cause. Further to this, show a positive example against my device as a reference to what isn't corroded.

Used Consumer Rights Act 2015 which is an amendment to the Sale of Goods Act 1979. References the safety and EU directive certification documentation as not stating how the device isn't to be used between two area with a variation in atmospheric temperature. which will disturb the du point and cause condensation to form.

Probably some more things as well...
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] tessut:
Looks definitely not like water corrosion looks like your cables are the problem HTC's recommendations are to use the original cable and charger or with similar security specs like all the ANKER cables
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Intraducinmista:
OK guys, so under some family advice, I called HTC directly and they are sending a replacement phone out as I will need to send the phone back. Now yes, this is a good result, BUT under the Consumer Rights Act 2016, Carphone Warehouse has failed to follow accordingly to lawful procedure and so I shall be posting whatever else happens.

I'm happy that HTC are at least concerned about their customer base more than their money! Yes, its a freak situation which has occurred but even then, I appreciate that the first response I get from HTC is "are you ok?" when I've explained to them the situation rather than "this looks water-damaged" from Carphone Warehouse.

For those who are in the UK, I shall be making a video for my YT channel on Consumer Rights Act 2016 to help those better understand the law. Also, I shall update this forum on what will happen with Carphone Warehouse I will want to take this up with Trading Standards.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seskanda:
Hello

I have an SM-G900P Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5 on KitKat 4.4.2 rooted by towelroot, and whenever I try to update the Profile, PRL, or software I get a small caption that says "Initializing application..." and that's all, it never does anything more. I think it may have to do with a service called 'Software Update' that's turned off, but the option to turn it on is grayed out/disabled. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seskanda:
I may have figured out how to make software update to work, but have no time yet for trying it. But I still get "initializing application" when updating PRL or profile, and the 'Software Update' service remains greyed out and disabled. Please any help would be great.

[Galaxy S6 General] mastabog:
I'm referring to the battery drain bug that keeps the radio on, introduced by Google in Lollipop and which continued to this day (thousands of reports):

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=165558

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=190396

I have a Galaxy A5 and have this bug too with Lollipop (but I can downgrade to Kitkat). I'm considering buying a Galaxy S6.

- Can KitKat be installed on S6? (KK does not have this bug)

- Is there any S6 rom (potentially compiled from modded sources) which patched this bug?

Cheers in advance!
[Galaxy S6 General] elprince_99:
no and no...but you still have the fast charging feature which make the battery drain not a big deal (i know it is really bad bug)

What about this patch? It was made into an Xposed module as well.

EDIT: I just found reports of Galaxy S6 owners who report that the Xposed module fixed it for them:

There's no bug on S6.

But if you want a good battery performance, you shouldn't buy S6. It has a terrible battery life.

No drain for me with forcedoze app, no root
[Galaxy S6 General] mastabog:
The two google code bugs I linked to in my 1st post show plenty of reports saying S6 is affected by the radio on bug the same as other devices. It's a bug in the OS that is triggered only if 3g/4g radio is used for data, the radio is never switched off after that.

If you never activate 3g/4g data then you will not see a problem.

My girlfriend and I both purchased S7 edges 2-3 months ago. We recently took a trip to the beach and after taking pictures of the kids pretty much all day we realized that we both didn't have the majority of the pictures that we took. Even a few that we uploaded to Facebook immediately after taking, even though they uploaded to Facebook they still weren't on our phones. The rest of the vacation we didn't have the issue but last night and today I took pictures and a few are missing. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a fix out there for it?
