Help Fast charging

[evohicks]

Can anyone in the UK with a sim free (unlocked) phone tell me if they have fast charging working after the lollipop update please, also the charger itself, does it have anything like fast charge or anything other than the normal plain white travel charger written on it.
Samsung are aware of the issue regarding fast charging after the update but they say the fast charger is just the usual one that comes with the Note 4.

I have an unlocked phone and mine is fast charging fine after the update. The charger is plain white with nothing other than Samsung written on it.

Cheers for that, so does it say 'fast charging' or anything in the status/notification when it's charging?
I have the fast charging check box to enable but it doesn't actually say anywhere if it's fast charging or not.

I can't remember if the NOTE 4 states QUICK CHARGING on the lockscreen,but,my ASUS ZenFone2 does,& I believe the HTC One M9 & Nexus 6 may as well.
I'll check on the latter two @ home later today & post here.

Yeah that's the reason I asked, not entirely sure if it's fast charging or not, if it is, then I'm not so sure it's any faster than my Note 3 was.

Edit; so as a rough guide, I charged from 48% to full and it took around 1 hour 20 ( phone on but screen off)
Looking at some images on the Internet, a lot of the Note 4 chargers seem to have 'Adaptive Fast Charging' written on them also.
The model number on mine is...
EP-TA10UWE and googling that comes up with the S5/Note 3 charger.

OK Samsung's first response to me was 'use the charger that came with your device' and I even sent them a photo of the charger!
So when I tell them I've Googled the model number and it's not an Adaptive fast charger, they say 'the model code you have provided is not a fast charger'
YOU DON'T SAY!
So after contacting my phone supplier they are going to send me a fast charger.
Still seems weird that a sealed box could contain the wrong charger but at least I wasn't losing my mind and it's sorted now and maybe of help to someone else in the future.
Thanks to those who tried to help
