The 1520, 930 and the Lumia Icon support them out of the box due to the SD 800 Processor.
"Due to an increase in the number of ways OEMs can take advantage of the Quick Charge 2.0 technology, the Quick Charge 2.0 ecosystem continues to expand rapidly. The technology provides benefits to OEMs and consumers alike, with OEMs now being able take advantage of the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, 600 and 400 processors supporting Quick Charge 2.0. The technology resides in both the device (offered as a standalone IC solution or as part of the PMIC power management integrated circuit of the processor) and in the AC/DC wall charger, so there is no change in the way consumers charge their devices."Last edited by AlastorX50; 08-05-2014 at 05:58 PM.

Microsoft reveals Update 1 for Windows Phone 8.1, due next week for Preview users | Windows Phone Central
"Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 support for Snapdragon 800 processor is included, letting Windows Phone users with the appropriate chipset take advantage Qualcomm's rapid, high voltage USB charging. Consequently, charging times should be upwards of 75% faster. Citing Qualcomm's data for a 3300 mAh battery, you can see the difference in the table below:"
I understand what it is. I want to know if 8.1 GDR1 enabled it, or if it will need to be a Firmware update, or if the Icon is truly compatible at all.08-05-2014 06:47 PMLike 0 -
- Having a Snapdragon 800 processor does not ensure that your device will get quick charge, just saying.

We anticipate that devices and wall chargers with Quick Charge 2.0 will be available for purchase by early 2014; all smartphones and tablets with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor will have Quick Charge 2.0. Snapdragon 800 processors are an entire system-on-a-chip and feature a CPU, GPU, DSP, LTE Modem and much more, enabling UltraHD video, high-end 3D gaming, 7.1 surround sound, and up to 55 Megapixel image captures, so being able to quick charge means less time charging and more time doing!

That is all fine and dandy. But that does not answer my question.
Does anyone know for sure if 8.1 GDR 1 enabled quick charge, or if it will require a firmware update, or if it will be on the icon at all? We can speculate all day, but does anyone actually know?08-07-2014 12:20 PMLike 0 -
I'm still looking if the OS enabled it or simply added support.08-07-2014 04:22 PMLike 0 -
I asked If Its is "ENABLED". Your response was "It says it adds support, but a firmware update might be needed to activate the feature"
That response does not say that it is enabled or not, only that it is now supported and may be enabled, or may not be, and may need a firmware update. So my question still stands
Does anyone KNOW for SURE if 8.1 GDR 1 enabled quick charge(I know the support is there, but is it Enabled), or if it will require a firmware update, or if it will be ENABLED(not just supported) on the icon at all?08-07-2014 04:28 PMLike 0 - Yes, I read your reply. That is literally why I asked "Does anyone know for sure if 8.1 GDR 1 enabled quick charge, or if it will require a firmware update, or if it will be on the icon at all? We can speculate all day, but does anyone actually know" The Key part in that is the "Actually Know" part

Charge away, but also you should invest in a quick charge 2.0 charger to see the added benefit.

I think it does work since Qi has variable outputs, but i couldn't find any information on if it goes up to 9v. Hopefully it does and the new Qi standard is just adding range benefits.

They might of changed the charging algorithms for 1.0 in 8.1 update 1 because I agree that the charge is alot faster then before.08-08-2014 07:44 AMLike 0 - Looks like the OS enabled it for any phone with certain processors including the 800, 600 and 400 series processors.

It specifically states
"High Voltage Dedicated Charging Port (HVDCP) charging is supported on phones that use the MSM8974Pro and MSM8926 applications processor."
HVDCP is part of the Quick Charge 2.0 standard
Only question now is... Where can I get a charger that is 2.0 certified?08-08-2014 12:37 PMLike 0 -
- I've been reading up on the Qi Wireless charging standard and man oh man they don't make it easy to get a direct answer.

You wont get as much range as a new one but there isn't much difference it is still a big increase on difference. Not an opinion, has been confirmed.08-08-2014 09:08 PMLike 0
