Whenever my phone is 100% charged, it gets almost unusable until I disconnect the charger. Basically everything gets really slow.
I am using charger from my Nexus S as no charger came with the Moto G. So is this a "feature" designed to tell me to disconnect the charger or something is wrong with my phone? Or is something wrong with the charger?
Not a feature for sure.....I use the moto charger that came with my phone and a samsung charger and things work fine with both at 100% ...try using some other charger

I just got my Skyrocket yesterday, and already the battery lasts barely 7 hours on power saving. I already rooted my phone, and I installed the Untitled ICS ROM. I'm at my friends house, and I plugged my phone into his charger, and it won't charge. We tried all of the phones that would fit that charger and they all worked on it. When I plug my phone in, it doesn't even do anything, like I don't have the charger in. I used like 4% of my battery typing this. How can I fix this?!
Is the charger 1 amp or at least 700 ma

Read this thread.
Install this app so you can check when you borrow a charger to see if it's working properly with your phone.

Hi All,
Is anyone having issues with their non-nexus 4 chargers charging on and off? When I plug my phone into my car usb charger (5V/1A), the charging icon flashes on and off; I didn't want to ruin the phone so I unplugged it. I googled it and saw this thead; someone mentioned that the N4 required a 2A charger so I wanted to see the experience here.

The charger I'm using: http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Micro-Auto-Charger-5VOLT/dp/B002F0200Q
Stock charger is 1200 ma.
My HTC car charger gives 1000 ma and works fine for my nexus 4.

I haven't had an issue with the charging going on and off, but I have been having an issue when I'm charging and using the phone with a non-LG charger. If I use the one that came with the phone, all is well... But if I use any other charger like my old one from HTC, the phone heats up real bad and I get horrible thermal throttling. I've tested it a few times, always doing the same thing (looking at XDA) and the LG charger is the only one that plays well with the phone while charging/using.

I just checked with another USB wall charger that I had which puts out only 500mA; that one works fine... so I guess my car charger is broken.
I've been using the charger that came with my nexus one and had no problems. The last couple days I've been charging off my PC because apparently slow charging is better for the battery.
Hi Guys,
I have a nexus 5 and I noticed that my LG WCP-300 continue to charge even when the battery is full.
The charger works fine with my Nexus 4, it stops charging when the battery reaches 100% capacity but not with the N5.
I'm wondering will it affect the battery if I keep it on even tho the device says "Charged" ?
Thanks in advance
Interesting. My Nexus 5 just arrived and I'll be curious to see how my LG WCP-700 charger handles charging the Nexus 5 when i get off work.

I think they finally fixed the wireless charging. My N4 would stop then drain down then start charging again. I never knew if it would be fully charged when I took it off the charger in the morning. I'm certain the battery will not overcharge.
Off topic, what is the use of wireless charging other than not using a wire to charge ?

That is pretty much it, it just save you plugging the wire.

Apart from the convenience of just putting down your phone to charge it will save your USB port from damage so if you need to fastboot for repair / warranty / general flashing you know it will be in good condition if the time comes. My galaxy nexus USB port broke, plugged in the charger and noticed it wasn't charging after a while and plugged the plug to see smoke come out the port and the phone was very hot! It may have caught fire if left. So now that phone has a dead battery, luckily its removable so could be charged separately with out the phone. The screen would turn on and drain battery too. I'd fully recommend getting one if you can, I intend on getting one in the future.

I aslo have the WCP-300 with my Nexus 5. I am experiencing the same thing.
I wonder why they changed the charging. I know my Energizer Qi charger also does this because the charging light always stays lit blue.
Wireless charging on Energizer
I have the energizer charging pad and noticed the same. My Nexus 4 would stop charging and if it fell back to 98% would charge again. The Nexus 5 just stays charging at 100% and I have read that it can damage the battery overcharging like that. Can someone confirm that for sure?
nothing on this?

Not unique to the charger

Just for the sake of clarification. The same thing occurs with the Nexus 5 using the Panasonic QE-TM101 which (as above) worked flawlessly with the Nexus 4. So it appears to be the phone (not the charger). And in spite of people assuring us that this won't damage the phone (battery), I can't help but think that the heat can't be good for the battery and if it wasn't "actually" charging after it hit that 100%, then what's generating the heat (it has to be actively charging to create that heat). I plan to do some controlled tests to see if the same problem occurs with my OWL (Qi compatible but not Qi certified) chargers, and see if the charger is cycling on and off during the charge period or staying in charge mode. But every time I've awoke in the morning the Panasonic charger has actually been charging (charge light on) with the handset very warm.
I'm afraid that if it's not cycling then over the long haul the battery (or possibly the phone) may suffer ill effects due to the consistent heat.
I just received my Moto G yesterday (in the UK). I am unable to charge the phone using the cable provided with the phone. Other cables either do not work, or charge improperly (keeps going on and off, rapidly). With a wall charger, the charging is extremely slow, taking over 10 minutes to increase the charge by 1%.
Also, the phone is refusing to connect to my 3G network. I have even tried resetting the access point details. It works fine when it's connected to wifi.
Does anybody else have these issues? Do I need to ask Motorola for a replacement?
i don't have that problem. no issues with battery at all I'm getting about get about 6 hour or more SOT. maybe you may need to replace it

My Moto G bugs me out when charging sometimes as well, however my issue is different.
When charging it won't go beyond the 1% from wall charger. But it can charge from PC, however the phone gets extremely laggy when charging for some reason.

Hi no problems with mine I charge it with a 750ma Samsung charger charges absolutely fine I can also charge mine in the car with a 500ma USB adapter and cable. I think your phone is faulty and is burning the chargers out probably better off just getting a replacement.

For the charging issue with "unofficial" cables, you can try the tool in this thread, it may work:

Are there any people here using a different charger in order to charge the Z3 a little quicker? As it is, it takes forever to fully charge the battery, especially during the last 5%. I want to try the turbo charger from Motorola but I'm concerned of ruining my battery.

The stock charger is pretty fast for me already. What is ur charger's amperage?
Sent from my D6653 using XDA Free mobile app
I use the 2.0A charger that came with my Tab S. It charges reasonably fast. However, if you use the magnetic charging cable, it'll charge the phone faster.
I bought the motorola quick charger. I definitely don't plan on using it all the time. It'll be a travel charger where I might need to add some charge in a pinch.
There's a thread documentind the rate at which different charging methods charge at. I put my Turbo Charger results at the bottom.
