If I use my wireless quick charger with the screen off the kilowatt says either 8 or 11 Watts
it can't seem to make up its mind
if I turn off the screen and do not touch the phone it's it's at about 11
but if I move the phone physically without turning on the screen it bounces back down to 8 and stays there This could be just quick charge and it changing the levels of charge due to battery temperature and whatnot
If I completely power the phone down the phone will reboot to that little screen that shows the battery charging on the fast charger that consumes 17 Watts interesting because the screen is active showing that little battery icon
messing with the phone settings, it looks like having the "always on display" makes no difference in charging rate consumption, so long as you have the phone screen off (and by off i mean not on the main screen, the always on screen mode thing)
It would appear that the phone limits the amount of power flowing through it so that when the phone consumes more power (I think there are some things that run when the phone's gyroscopes sense motion) it limits the charging.
Very interesting. Could even be applicable for faster charging if you get some clear results.
It appears that the voltage or excuse me the Watts being consumed by the charger slowly tapers itself down as the phone battery reaches 100% but even at 100% my kill-a-watt still reports 3.3 Watts consumption As kow as 2.3w
