These new quick-charge 2.0 chargers are not supposed to charge the phone 2x faster

HTC are not going to unlock quick charge 2.0. Due to the fact that the battery can't be replaced. Longevity of the battery is comprised with QC 2.0[emoji22]

Is there anyone tested moto turbo charger ?

if motorola using it for the nexus 6 and that has a non-removeable battery, i don't shouldn't see any issue with HTC not enabling it unless they want to use it as a feature for their 2015 devices.

After my HTC charger didn't work anymore I went to the store to buy new charger. Couldn't find a HTC, so I bought a 2ah Samsung charger. +1400/+1600 maH most of the time. After a while when battery is getting full (I'm guessing 80%+) I'm getting +500/+800 mah

I have the Motorola Turbo Charger. I think it does charge faster, but I don't see that 15 minutes from 0-80% that it claims to be able to do, so I don't think HTC has enabled it yet.

That's not what Qualcomm (who invented the technology) promised. Please read this carefully

https://www.qualcomm.com/news/snapdragon/2014/06/04/quick-charge-20-has-arrived

*"In laboratory tests using a 3300mAh battery, a Quick Charge 2.0 enabled device went from 0% to 60% charge in 30 minutes, while a device without Quick Charge 2.0 using a conventional (5 volt, 1 amp) charger achieved just a 12% gain in the same 30 minutes."

Ah, and when they mean "conventional", they are talking about chargers without Quick Charge 1.0, which is what the normal htc one m8 charger already has.

@Badelhas : Hey man I remember your name from another forum comment I saw on a totally different site about Quick Charge. There was one guy there that was advertising his company's product saying that it supported quick charge 2.0. I dug a little deeper into the issue and since his company was based in Taiwan, where I am, it was easier. Long story short his product may not yet be on the Qualcomm website list but according to UL Taipei who does the QC testing, the product is safe to use and indeed charge very very fast. I tested in my M8 and from empty to full took about 1 hour 15 min maybe 1 hour 30min. It slows down towards the end for safety reasons I'm assuming. It does make the phone a little warm but i am using a hard Spigen Slim Armor case so your mileage might vary.

Google PTEC Taiwan. Though since it's not yet commercially released, they might not ship globally.

I actually made another completely different thread about how my Nexus 7 charger and cable causes a slow Charging notification on the M8. Weird since it's 2A. Lab testing was standard 1A, 12% in 30 min

Nice to hear that, thanks

how much did it cost? I have a friend who is in Taiwan and is coming back in a few days, where can he buy me one?

It was 500+50 NTD for postage. He posted it to me so head over to the website and it's under the contact info. Guys name is Weland so I think it's weland@ptec.com.tw. Not 100% sure.

What I don't understand is why HTC doesn't launch their own quick-charge 2.0 charger...

troggy · Oct 29, 2014

The quick charge 2.0 shortens the longevity of the battery. Due to the fact the m8 doesn't have a replaceable battery. They won't enable it

As I said to you before, where is your source for this information?

The Moto X also doesn't have an exchangeable battery. How do you explain that?

Until he provides a source, I'm not buying it.

Apparently coming soon, with all the other manufacturers jumping on the bandwagon, I can't imagine HTC not doing it.

I contacted UL directly, the company responsible for testing the chargers, they claimed that this Quick Charge functionality was already built into the hardware and that the charger just needs to send the right signal to the hardware to enable faster charging. As for shortening the lifespan, the phone will always only take what it needs so I highly doubt it. They aren't gonna tell me everything but long story short, the chargers are safe to use. Plus, I don't know about others but I don't use the quick charger every time, only when I'm in a rush.

Me either. The technology was created made with a decreasing voltage and everything, so it doesn't affect the longevity of the battery

What do you mean by "apparently"? Do you have a source of some kind?
Until there is an European version (we have different wall plugs) I won't buy one. But I would rather buy the official htc charger. They were one of the first to use Qualcomm technology and they promised to launch one on 2014, now they are the last to say anything about it...
