Using her for months now. M5 is love. Just need to wait a bit for 6.0 then sell it off for M6+. cheesy
bro how you take do this battery style?? Teach me abeg, I'm using m5 mini

Root + xposed + flat style Bar indicator(FSBI).

just go to the battery mod and tweak as desired. Choose the style you like and make small modification to it.

Does it get hot? How much? From where did you buy it?
Re: Gionee M5 Discussion Thread[HOT] by Hawlahscho(m): 11:56pm On Dec 18, 2016
There is something I dont understand well no chargers.
Some will have 5V≈1.5A 9V≈1.7A

And they'll still put fast charge on it

Does the fast charge base on the voltage or the current? I think it should be d current.

Besides, the more the voltage the more d current should be and what level would the phone recognize fast charge?


A detailed answer will be appreciated.

From what I understand, it's the wattage that truly matters. That is, the current multiplied by the voltage.
However, depending on the battery, there is a maximum input voltage. This is usually 5V, but nowadays, it's common to see 9. That's why it's usually the current that matters.most phones are fixed at 5V, so the only other way to increase charging speed is to increase current.
As to why some phones have multiple output ratings is due to the fact that charging occurs in about 2 stages. A faster 1st stage, and a slower second stage. Charging the device too 'hard' in the second stage could cause damage, hence, the charger will switch to a lower power rating to charge during the second stage.
Most phones won't accept currents or voltages above what they are built to receive, so you can't plug a 20W(5V, 4A) into any phone and expect wonders. It'll charge at its maximum specified voltage and current.

Thanks for the response.

From my initial knowledge, voltage can be said to be d pressure that moves the current in the circuit (charger)

Now, let's say 220V enters the charger with 600mA thats 132Watts (maximum)

The charger can output up to 9V to the phone with maximum 2A that's 18Watts (maximum)

What (in the charger) can make it stop outputing up to 2A

Before, my charger charges up to 2.4A while the voltage of the battery would be 4.1 or 3.9(calculating with ampere application from play store)

Suddenly, it began to charge at highest 1.0A with 3.6V
And it keeps reducing as the charging continues.

From my view, something got burnt in it, I'm not planning to repair it of course cheesy
I just want to have d idea of what can possibly cause that
Is it d voltage that got reduced or what and at what wattage does the system recognize fast charge?

Thanks in advance.

About what wattage the system recognizes fast charging, I'm not sure, but I'd assume it'd be different for different phones.

Well, something could have gotten burnt in it, that's a possibility, but apart from that, your cable could be the issue. If the cable is starting to fail, you won't get as much power from the charger as it's normally meant to supply, hence why when a cable is getting bad, it starts to 'slow charge'.

If you have any spare cables you can test them out and check the current with that app.

the charger with output 5V is for M5mini and output of 9V is for M5, M5plus and M6. The output is what matters not the voltage.

software issue. Your phone needs a software upgrade. It is done for free at any Gionee service centre.

Every new cable charges better, but after like three hours of charging, d charger becomes extremely hot and GBAM! it starts slow-charging even when showing fast-charging

Now, I dont know if there is any charger that can self-regulate heat and also, 9V≈2A seems too much for M5
The highest on original charger is 7V 1.8A which is just 12W
I think, having 18W can damage M5 if the charging AC fails to reject the remaining Watts after taking the maximum d phone can take.

yes..when you want to order there is a place they put the courier service..like singapost..postnl..vietnampost..swedenpost.. chinapost

i like postnl n singapost because it dos not take more dan 14 days...

can u show me ur tracking code??

But the original charger has up to 12V 1.3A, as well as 9V 1.8A. But I'm not sure exactly what is wrong... How many output ratings does the charger have?

Not sure why the charger should get hot though..
