What model charger does your z5 came with? Mine is a UCH10 is that a quick charger? If so is there a way to turn off quick charge while charging?
I've got a UCH20 which has got an output of 1500mA at 5V. Btw I'm living in Germany so different sockets over here. Maybe that's why I have another model than you.
Haven't seen any settings regarding quick charge. Why would you like to turn it off?

I just thought if quick charge always on during charging would affect the battery lifespan
On my charger output 5.0V-1800mA, 9.0V-1700mA, 12.0V-1275mA, my z5 is a Canada bell e6653

I received the UCH20 with my UK Z5, which lead me to buy the Aukey quick charge charger.
As far as I'm aware, once the battery hits 100% charge, the phone runs via the power source it is connected to and not the battery.
I got the uch20 too not fast charge grrrr its poor of Sony to do this when your paying a premium

2A Chargers with the Nexus 5?
My Nexus 5 1.2A wall adapter died overnight. Will not charge anything I plug into it, though the Nexus 5 microUSB cable works with other USB adapters I own.
Google wants me to ship back everything, including my defect-free Nexus 5, to replace the wall adapter. Not going to do that....
My question is: would it be ok to charge my Nexus 5 with a 2A charger? I have some 1A and 2A chargers around the house, but do not have any 1.2A chargers like the Nexus 5 one. If not I'm looking to buy something like this: http://www.amazon.com/PowerGen-2-4-...=1383756651&sr=1-4&keywords=1.2a+wall+adapter

Yes. That is fine. The phone will only pull what it needs. I use chargers from 0.5A all the way to 2.1A on all my devices.
Thanks for replying. Using chargers I already have will save me some money then.

Escalate the ticket with them and ask for a supervisor. There's no reason they need that phone.
I think I will. I didn't have the time or energy to argue with customer service this morning.
How did you kill your charger?

I plugged the charger into a surge-strip and plugged my phone in before I went to bed (battery charging indicator appeared). Woke up and the battery was low and no charging indicator present. I tried another charger and the phone charging indicator appeared. Nothing else plugged into the surge protector was running either, and we didn't have any storms or weird weather last night in AZ.
I tried plugging something else into the Nexus 5 charger... nothing. Tried the Nexus 5 microUSB cable on a different wall adapter and it charged.
So yeah, the wall adapter for my N5 failed. Luckily in the hour before work my 2A charger got the N5 up to 70%. Topped it off to 100% on my wireless charger at work.

What brand was your 2A charger?
Beware: The nexus 5 will charge in USB mode for the 2 amps chargers (and a lot of other ones too). To solve this and charge in AC mode, you will need to buy a "charge-only" USB cable from amazon.
i charge my n5 with my 2012 n7 2 amp charger and all is good it also charges at the expected rate not a slow rate, ive used it every day since i have had the n5 which was the release day

This is interesting. Three questions.
What exactly does it imply in what mode the phone is charging?
How do I know in what mode the phone is charging?
Can I check cables for its purposes without destroying it?

1. AC Mode charges at a much faster rate than USB mode.
2. To check which mode the phone is charging in go to your battery settings and it will display on the top left
3. There is nothing to check with the cables, if you don't know if you have a charge only cable then you don't have one

Hey guys, I am planning to buy a new charger for my phone.
I am confused between 1A and 2A charger.
Will charging my phone with a 2A charger have any effect on the battery life, Heard from someone that the 2A charger will kill my battery, Is it true?
As the charger provided by motorola takes a lot of time to charge the battery to 100%, I thought of upgrading my charger.
Please advice!
My device is XT1033 (16GB dual sim)
thanking in advance:good:
The phone will only take the current it needs and can handle, so there won't be any damage to your battery.

Im using a 2A Gtiffin charger and my Moto G currently is doing fine.
i use 1A charger and no heat at back of my phone(or in battery).full charged keep me 1.5-2.5 days. so i will say 1A
2A charger will supply all that the phone needs, even under heavy use (i.e. it'll keep on charging instead of having the battery decrease while plugged in) and it has much better odds of working well with your next phone and the one after that.
Hi, I saw a review on the Z3 and they said the z3 has a 850mah charger? And it charges in 4 hours plus? Is it true? I am considering a Z3 and if its true, thats rly a con for me... Thanks in advance

stock charger is 1.5A
You can use other 2A or even Qualcomm Quick charge 2.0 chargers to charge in a much shorter time.
My Z3 came with a 1500ma charger so doubt that figure is correct.
However, the 4 hour charging time sounds about right.

Ah I see. I am considering the Note 4 too. Guess the Note 4 will charge alot faster then hmm. The website says that the note 4 charges in arnd 1 hour 40 minutes due to that fast charger.
Is the Z3 compatible with quick charge 2.0? In theory every device with the snapdragon 800/801 is but my nexus 5 surely is not for example , have you guys tested it ?
According to Qualcomm it is:

Works. I'm using the Tenergy Turbo charger and the LED changes to indicate Quick Charge 2.0. Only works through USB though and not through the magnetic port.

Great ! Do you know how long it takes the phone to go from 0% to 100%?

Unfortunately no, and I'm not willing to run down my battery to test it. I can tell you that it charges amazingly quickly with the QC2.0 working.
Why you dont want to put your battery to 0%? Every month you should put your battery to 0% to calabrate it.

No, you shouldn't. Life of lithium batteries are shortened when they are brought all the way down to 0. Although minor, just not something I want to do. Plus, I don't want to not charge my phone for 2+ days
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.

When using a wireless charger does the device need to be taken off the 'pad' once fully charged?
Seem to think I've read you should?
It depends on what Wireless Charger you use, all Samsung original and new some Models switch to trickle charge after the Phone is on 100%.
I use the EasyChee T900 v2 and have no problems, I put the Phone on it over night and down in the Morning.
When wireless charging with the original Samsung loader over night the device is pretty hot in the morning and the LED color didn't change. When charging with normal charger the device is cold. So I guess it has to be taken off at 100 % to end the loading process.
The whole wireless charger is simply useless.
