The charger I'm using is Xiaomi's AD652G (GaN 1A1C).

It appears to support PPS 5-20v 3.25a and 5-11v 5a, two settings.

拆解报告：MI小米65W 1A1C氮化镓充电器AD652G - 充电头网

早在氮化镓快充市场爆发时，55W和充电头网还对小米这三款氮化镓充电器进行了简单的汇总对比。如今小米氮化镓快充家族又迎来了一个新成员——GaN充电器65

www.chongdiantou.com

From my own testing, this is also the case.

It should be able to charge up to 65w, and it can surely charge my laptop to around 60w.

However, when charging the Pixel 8 Pro, (I've turned off adaptive charging, and ensured the phone battery is around 30%)

Whether I use the original C to C cable, or the ZMI cable with emarker, it can't go above 19w.

It stays at this fixed setting:

It only operates at 9v 2.2a 19w.

But in the same battery level, using my other Xiaomi's power bank, it can normally handshake to around 28w,

So, I think we can rule out issues with the cable or the phone.

I'd like to ask, under these circumstances, what is most likely the problem?

Should I suspect that the AD652G's PD PPS isn't following the specifications strictly, so it can only handshake to a fixed 19w?

Or is it an issue with Pixel's PD PPS protocol?

I'm not very familiar with the charging protocol, so I'm not sure if I'm asking the question correctly.

Further suggestions are welcomed, I'd like to learn more about the root cause of it - although I don't have an oscilloscope to debug the usb port directly.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Tracker31:
it's probably because this man in the middle broke communication with PPS and charger so it securely charge at lower rate but I am not sure
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Pfeffernuss:
It also depends how much battery you have left in the phone. Under 50 percent or so my P8Pro charges at 30/31W but this gradually decreases to a few Watts at the end. With adaptive charging disabled, of course.

So that 19W is possible if phone isn't empty. If you can only charge 19W with an almost empty battery something indeed is off.

I'm using a simple AliExpress charger so nothing fancy as well :)
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] xocomaox:
I seriously doubt you are charging at 31w... Pixel 8 Pro doesn't go over 28.5w in any scenario.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] old_fart:
I will count myself as one of the silly people who are still looking for 30 watt. It seems like Bigfoot or Sasquatch. And yes I know higher current means greater wear and tear on the battery. I've come to understand that the Google charger ( which is on sale ) is the one that comes closest to 30 watt charging. I suppose people have to have dreams.

Full disclosure, I seem to be getting a little over 27 Watts right now. And I understand this is controlled by the phone and not by the power delivery of the charger . . .
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Zilla0617:
I have to disagree based on my experience. When using pixel stand 2 with Google charger (30 watt) I've seen my P8P hit 30/31 Watts a few times. I attached a USB type c (kavalan) power meter. So it is possible under the right circumstances
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] xocomaox:
Maybe if the phone is powered off at under 20%. But even then I don't see it going that high.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] xocomaox:
This is not true and not how battery degradation works. It's not about current it's about heat, and Google's charging method produces a lot of it, even though it charges quite slow.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Zilla0617:
Well I don't power off my phone when charging. It doesn't stay on it long before it goes back down, but it does hit it
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Pfeffernuss:
Just checked it (again). It charges with 30W up to a battery percentage of 70. After that it gradually drops.

When the phone says "charged" this does not mean "fully charged". It will still charge at a very low speed for some considerable time. After that the charger displays 0W and the phone is finally full.

[EDIT} Tried using normal charge and the values are off as well (max 23W). So disabled it in PE again.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] old_fart:
Opps.

One of these things is not like the other. One of these things is not the same. ( let's all sing along ! )

Ah, Hmm, Google's own web store, and many other places besides, say that the wireless is maxed out at 23, which is 7 Watts difference. What's going on here ?

Are ya'll joking with us techie nerds ?
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strollaco:
I practice cycling. Carrying a cell phone is dangerous in case of a fall, it can break vertebrae. On the other hand, the cell phone is necessary, in case of an accident it can be used to call for help. Combined with a Garmin cycle computer, it can inform family members of our location through the Live Track function. I'm looking for a watch with SIM card slot or an eSIM, to which I'm able to install the Garmin Connect Android application to pair with my Garmin Edge 530.

I have seen some apps called org.freepoc.wearinstaller and org.freepoc.wearinstaller2 that allow you to install Android applications on Wear OS. I read somewhere that Android apps on Wear OS have the limitation of not having data in the background.

Has anyone tried installing Garmin Connect on Wear OS? Would smartwatch has data in the background for Garmin Live Track use?

I can't try it because I don't have a smart watch with Wear OS, and I would like to resolve this question to know whether to buy it or not.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord Sithek:
I've tried, with the latest versions and with the older versions from APK Mirror, but no one worked. All crashes at startup. Bit shame there is no Garmin app for WearOS, but on the other hand it's understandable, they don't want to promote another ecosystem

So as you can see I have managed to get custom tones on my phone and everything, BUT when they are set and I get a message and open it the tone doesn't stop playing and does the whole audio file. Is there any way to make it stop playing right when the message is read. Actually I even tried pressing all my buttons and it still plays... Is that normal, like I get a message and the song plays, then no matter what button I hit it continues.... Any ideas, suggestions, help? :confused: .... PS I have the HTC Tilt..

Thanks In Advance..

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Cal-El:
If the file is a song it needs to be stored in the sounds file on your device, in application data\sounds! Then it will stop when you answer or check message!:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ryanhroets:
I did what you said and yet te file keeps playing after the message is opened and read. Let alone I can't do anything to make it stop playing other then put the phone on silent for the length of the song. Even then the song plays. This doesn't make sense. Any other ideas or suggestions?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
Simple solution edit the song so as it's short enough for a messege notification, the best free audio editor is Audacity
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ryanhroets:
Umm..

Well to be honest who want a short boring message tone. Its nice to have the option of letting it play or just opening the message to shut it off am I right? Come one some one must know how and have an answer to this small blurp in the phone..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JimmyMcGee:
Geez you want to have your cake and eat it too! Either have a 30 second long SMS Notification sound EVERYTIME or don't. When the phone gets a Message its sends a command, "Play Tone" And that is all. Very Simple, no way to stop it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ryanhroets:
Woah..

Sorry man. Just curious, I thought I phone as complex as this that maybe there was some silly and simple fix. Maybe that could be a project for someone that is up for a challenge. Find the command and a way to change it so it shuts off after being opened. I don't know, just bouncing ideas around that's all. Thank you for even responding though, I appreciate it it very much :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
To each his own... personally I'd be saying "Who in the world would want a 1min message tone that would require him to grab his device and open the message to stop it if he doesn't want to be looked at like a dork by all the people around?" ;)

Phone call = continuous ring, normal as the person on the other end is waiting for you to pick up - Message: short notification so you know something has happened, but isn't urgent so no need to insist...

Can go both ways ;)

Hello everyone.

I'd like to dedicate this thread to the topic of camera tests and potential bias from reviewers. There are certain controversies surrounding e.g. the DXOMark test for the P8 Pro (using SDR on Pixel, evaluating vs HDR on IPhone, ignoring crushing of blacks on iPhone, et cetera), so I'd like to find blind tests and talk about the results of these votes. You are all very welcome to also find blind tests and talk about these.

Blind test: the person voting for the best image in a selection of several images does not know which phone was used to shoot which images. Therefore the people voting in a blind test will most likely chose the objectively best, and not make a biased decision.

[Redmi Note 10] DTFuser:
The phone is in constant fastboot loop, either if it is connected to PC or charger. It is approximately 10 seconds in fastboot mode then it turns off. If not connected to PC or charger it is in fastboot loop till the battery drains.

First I tried to install recovery, either TWRP or orange, and it seems that the recovery is installed but post install procedure was not finished so I got message:” Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load error”.

Next I tried to install original ROM with Miflash (I tried with the three latest version of MIflashtool) but I get the error Could not find a part of the path “C:\Users\DTF\Desktop\MiFlash20220218\log\miflash@2023113.txt”

[Vivo X Fold] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

Got a used X Fold from Vivo. It s quite a nice device, even though I am not sure I will use the inner display that much :-(

I am used to the 6.8" from the mi 11 pro/ultra.

Anyways, that is not the question.

Since I have it I have needed to charge it.

As it came with the charger still packed, I wanted to avoind unpacking it.

So I use a "standard" 67w charger.

It charges "fast" but not amazingly fast.

It's like 15%=> 70% in 35 minutes.

So I am wondering : does this use the VOOC thechnology to charge super fast ?

In other words : do I need a specific charger to benefit from super fast charging speed ?

Thanks for your answers even if this channel seems almost dead...

Regards.
[Vivo X Fold] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

Replying to myself...

I assume I indeed need a VOOC compatible charger (or any other standard).

Because if I hook the original charger + cable, I get a message "QuciCharge"...

I do not have this message with my other charger :-(

So what charger would you advise to get a second one if necessary ?

Regards.
[Vivo X Fold] extremecarver:
You need both cable and charger from vivo. Else it's dead slow - max 22w, but usually rather 15w only.

Quick Charge is anything over 7.2w..

That's why I prefer Samsung or Pixel phones, they charge with USB PD at full speed, something nearly every standard USB charger supports. Same charger for laptop and phone. With the Vivo charger charging anything not Vivo is slow - 23 watts for my laptop for example that charges up to 65w with USB PD.

So you end up carrying loads of chargers around if you need fast charging while traveling while if you buy only USB PD devices a single charger will be enough (though on phones so far slower, but technically up to 100w is possible. And even 200w phones will not charge for more than a minute above 100w anyhow.
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] andrewilley:
I assumed when I got my A54 that connecting my 3.5mm headsets would just be a case of getting a little USB-C adapter and they'd work just like such things have worked for the past 15 years. Not so much, thanks Samsung. :(

My initial problem with the ones I tried is that there's a low-level hiss (sounds like it's in the final analogue amp stage) in the background of all of them. At night, when the room is silent and I'm dropping off to sleep, I listen at very low volume levels (around 2-5 on the 150 steps scale) and the hiss is really noticeable. I tried Samsung's official adapter (awful at very low volume levels), UGreen (not too bad, but still a persistent hiss) and Apple's (no hiss, but almost no audio either - a known compatibility issue apparently). But at least the inline headset cable buttons worked fine on all of them.

So I tried something based on a better DAC chip (Cirrus CS46L41) which quoted an improved 125+dB S/N ratio and yes, the sound was significantly better. Still some hiss, but overall much better at lower levels, and a warmer more rounded response. However unlike the others I had tried, the three inline buttons (Play/Pause, Vol+, Vol-) do not work at all on the A54, nothing at all happens when you press the volume buttons or the middle button. The same headset buttons work fine on other devices I tested with this same adapter - tried on Samsung A40, A70, S21, and an Asus tablet - but not on the A54.

I don't suppose anyone has any ideas why the specific combination of this adapter (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004763520790.html) and the Galaxy A54 prevents the inline buttons from working, when other adapters support the buttons fine on the A54, and this adapter works fine on other older devices? I don't want a super-hifi DAC, just something small and inline that allows my £20 headset to work like it used to on my A70, with no hiss via its 3.5mm socket.

Andre
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] Renate:
Probably not the solution that you want to hear and a bit of an inconvenience, but...

The possible listening range for users is probably around 80 dB for those who want to blast and those who want something soothing.

Ambient noise is a large determiner.

The best (low tech) solution is to have a cable adapter with a resistive attentuator.

It sounds like you need at least 20 dB. That will reduce the hiss 20 dB.

It also gives you the benefit of having finer control of the volume.

The circuit below calculates out to 22 dB using standard parts.

It matches the (nominal) 32 ohm impedance of a headphone.

Within reason you can play with the value of the 220 ohm resistor for more/less attentuation.

From phone ────/\/\/\────┬──── To headphone
220 ohm │

Ground ──────────────────┴──── Ground

Obviously, you need two of these circuits, that is, four resistors total.

Of course you could use a commercial volume control adapter.

https://www.amazon.com/Koss-155954-VC20-Volume-Control/dp/B00001P4XH

I think that I would buy this just for the plug, the socket and the little box.

I'd remove the volume control and put in the fixed circuit above.

Also, I'd cut down the cord to 6" or so.
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] andrewilley:
@Renate Thanks, that might indeed fix the general hiss issue (I'm not concerned about overall loudness, at night I listen at very low levels anyway). Or I could just get a less sensitive set of earbuds.

But I like the sound of this CS-Pro (Cirrus CS46L41 based) DAC dongle, and the hiss is very low anyway. I just can't figure out how to get the inline buttons on the headset cable to work with it.

The three inline cable buttons work fine with this DAC on various other (mainly older) devices, and other DAC adapters (including Samsung's own) allow button presses with my current A54 phone. But this DAC with this phone won't recognise cable button presses.

Andre
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] Renate:
Huh? You mean buttons on the headphone cable? (Not on the DAC itself.)

They do silly things with resistance on the mic conductor (AFAIK).

You can use my UsbMode.apk (in the sig) to see if any Android KeyEvents are being generated at all and what they are.
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] andrewilley:
@Renate Yes, I'm referring to the three buttons inline on the headset cable (centre play/pause, Vol+, Vol-) which work by applying various resistances to the third (mic) connector.

I had already checked to see if key events were being generated but ignored, but they are not.

Using a lower-spec Ugreen DAC dongle on my Galaxy A54, pressing the centre inline button on the headset cable generates a MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE button event as expected:

View attachment 6028890

Using the CS-Pro DAC on several other devices (e.g. a Galaxy A70) the MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE event is also generated at expected:

View attachment 6028895

However using the combination of the CS-Pro and my Galaxy A54, nothing at all gets generated by any of the three buttons.

Andre
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] Renate:
Does the info under "Keyboard" in UsbMode change at all when you plug in the DAC?

I guess the driver on the Galaxy A54 doesn't load the HID interface?

If you are Magisk and can give root to UsbMode then you should be able to see the tree under "View USB".

You should see two interfaces with a check besides each one?

Or just insert your USB hardware protocol analyzer in between the A54 and the DAC. :p
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] andrewilley:
On the A54 and the A70, 'Keyboard' does not change when inserting either the Ugreen or Cirrus DAC, it just stays at 'None' - and it remains that way even when the Ugreen does detect keyboard event button presses.

My A54 and A70 are both stock/unrooted. I used to root my devices, but got fed up with fighting a losing battle to keep full functionality of all apps such as NFC payments, banking apps, etc. As a daily driver, I just want it to work.

Andre
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] Renate:
Oops, I meant the "Inputs: Key, Rel, Abs" line. Does that change?

I hit my BT clicker page turner and the Key increments.

Since it's not a keyboard, Keyboard remains at none.
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] andrewilley:
That just shows <read error> on both the A54 and A70, with or without any of the DACs connected.

Android is detecting that the headset is present by the way; my media app auto-starts when I plug it in, and audio playback can be heard with both DACs. It's just the inline buttons that are an issue, and only with the CS-Pro on the A54.

Andre
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] Renate:
Sheesh, always permission stuff.

Use a terminal app (since you can't use ADB while testing).

ls -l /dev/input

Does a new "event" pop up when you plug in the DAC?
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] andrewilley:
Oh yes...

:/ $ ls -l /dev/input
ls: /dev/input: Permission denied

Andre
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] Renate:
So I guess that ls -l /sys/class/input doesn't work either?
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] andrewilley:
Yeah, the whole /sys/ hierarchy is blocked. Anyone would think I hadn't actually BOUGHT this phone outright wouldn't they? Can you image a PC user accepting not being about to access the C:\Windows directory?

Andre
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] andrewilley:
To follow up on this, I popped into a local phone dealership today to see how this Cirrus DAC dongle worked with other recent phones, just in case my A54 was actually faulty.

The headset cable inline buttons (Vol+, Vol-) worked perfectly on the sales assistant's own Oppo phone, and also on every Samsung phone on the store's display EXCEPT for their A54. We tried with an A14 5G, A34 5G, Z-Fold5, Z-Flip5, S23, S23+, S23 Ultra. And I had already tried an A40 and A70 at home which were fine too. So basically every phone in Samsung's range works perfectly with this DAC dongle except for the A54.
