It is possible to enable Quick Charge 3.0 (Qualcomm) ?

[Aralas]

Hi,

Maybe a noob question, but we all know that Snapdragon 820 can work with Quick Charge 3.0.

My question is : a custom ROM could enable this feature ? maybe locked by Oneplus ...

If not, it's a hardware problem ? If someone can explain to me the reason ...

It could be. The phone already accepts 5v 4amp. It's probably in the kernel.

My assumption is that certain hardware for voltage regulation is required for QC right? Isn't this hardware missing since OnePlus moved the voltage regulation away from the phone to the wall charger?

Why would you want QC3 when you already have an equivalent fast charge ?

There is a power controller that determines whether you can do that, its hardware and by the looks of it 1+ decided to do it their own way.

OnePlus will release the dash charge blobs soon so that they work with custom Roms. They said they'll release at the end of July, which could be next week

Quick Charge is a closed proprietary standard so enabling it involves communicating via a closed protocol which is allowed to pull a higher power, so it's pretty infeasible regardless of the SoC.,

What I'm interested in enabling is USB-C fast charging (5v @ 3a) since those accessories are much more common and still very fast

Go to forums.oneplus and search for "Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 vs OP Dash Charge".
I think that thread might answer your question. In my opinion Karthik Raghavan explained well it there.

Lenovo Zuk Z2 Plus

What about Lenovo Zuk z2 plus it also has Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 but the charger is 5v 2A. Is it possible to enable in that.
