Hi,
My Moto G came with a 500mAh wall charger but this device is supposed to charge up to 1500mAh.
So I decided to switch it with some other charger I had here at home.
I found a 700mAh ZTE charger (no data cable) and a 850mAh Sony charger (removable USB data cable).
The ZTE one works wonders.
The Sony on the other hand makes the touchscreen go crazy, it doesn't report the correct commands.
This really surprised me because the Sony charger came with an Xperia phone and seems much higher quality than the ZTE or the stock Moto ones. Maybe the data cable is a factor as well.
Still, when using the Sony cable for USB data, it doesn't mess with the phone at all which makes this even more weird.
I've also used a Car adapter charger with a nokia cable without issues.
After that I'm worried that non-moto chargers may damage my device in the long run.
I don't want to use the stock 500mAh charger since it is too slow, I could try to buy an original Moto G high power charger but I'd rather not since I have to ship it to my country. I can probably get a high power charger from another brand in a retail store here, but I don't know if I'm going to have touchscreen issues or worse, damage my device.
Any suggestions or compatible wall chargers ?

Any charger that doesn't surpass the Amperage limit Motorola imposed should do the job. The higher the value, the faster it charges.

But my issue is that some chargers will mess with the touchscreen (and who knows what else). I've read that the moto Razr also had this issue and some users said that it would damage the device.

Use your ZTE charger, then. You said it works wonders, so no need to use the Sony if it causes some weird actions

If I haven't had this exact thing happen to me, I wouldn't believe you since it shouldn't happen. But on my old HTC Sensation, if I used an old off-brand iPod charger I got off Newegg years back combined with my Kindle USB cable, it would happen. Any other combination of cables or chargers were fine. Even then I would just make sure to turn off the screen immediately after plugging it in and it charged perfectly fine. Usually (99% of the time) you won't run into this issue. Just plug it in and it should be ok.
Hi Z3's fans
I have a question which I 've asked in ( Sony forums ) and ( Qualcomm's facebook page )
My question is :
Does Z3 dual model ( D6633 ) support quick charge 2.0 or not !!!?????
Sony support team said that quick charging is just special for Japanese models and they said :
D6633 supports neither Quick Charge 1.0 or Quick Charge 2.0
Qualcomm at first said yes but when I asked about D6633 didn't answer ..
Do you have any idea about this ?
please help ,, I appreciate that so much
:fingers-crossed:
I have the D6603 model and purchased a quick charge charger. It charges my phone from 45% to 89% percent in 45 minutes. It's takes the phone about 1 hour and a half to charge from empty to full.

usb port.
First of all, sorry to bring this months old thread back to life, but at least to me, this question is left unanswered even though I looked it up here on XDA.
I have just bought a Xperia Z3 Dual (D6633) and I'm considering getting a Quick Charge 2.0 outlet.
Thus, can anyone please confirm whether the Z3 Dual is compatible with QC 2.0?
Thanks in advance.
.I have a D6633 and a generic charger bought from a phone shop (a good one though)
I never timed the charging but it does charge the phone fairly quickly. I would say i can charge it from 0 to full in a couple of hours.
Does that mean it supports quick charge? I don't know but for me it does it fairly quickly especially I don't leave my phone goes completely flat.
and finally it does that through either ports (usb or magnetic).

I am not sure whether it does fully... Let me explain:
I have a Galaxy Note 4 and the QC2 charger that came with it as well as another brand QC2 charger bought on amazon.com
When I attach the Note 4 to either charger (with a USB voltmeter in between), I get 9V and 1.5 A until 85% charge, then down < 1A for the rest.
D6633 (HK software installed) with both 4.4.4 and the new 5.0.2 firmware, starts with 5V (similar to the Note 4), then ramps up to 9V but cannot get any higher than 0.7 A. The original charger that came with the D6633 says 1.5A on it so theoretically, you get more power from that than the QC2 charger.
I am not sure whether it is a software issue or not and how to enable it.
Just an observation.
Thanks for your input, onurd.
Well, getting more A on the original charger than the QC 2.0 charger is actually odd. Why/how could that be?
Anyways, if not allowing the QC 2.0 charge is a Kernel limiting issue, modifying the original Kernel could make it happen, couldn't it? I know barely nothing about programming, but logically speaking, that does make sense...
I know it is odd but it doesn't look like that the device is "requesting" more amperage from the charger. So using a regular (or the original charger) over the QC2 charger makes more sense (5V x 1.5 A = 7.5 W vs 9V x 0.7 A = 6.3 W)
I do think is it a software issue but I don't know to "enable" it. Does anybody with an unlocked bootloader on CM 12 has a different experience maybe?
As per my title, can anyone confirm if the UK version of the Sony Z3 D6603 is Quick Charge 2.0 compatible?
If so I can't find a Sony Quick Charge 2.0 adapter either?
Many thanks,

Hello figo_rulz,
I can comfirm that the Sony Xperia Z3 D6603 has Quick Charge 2.0 built in, as the Sony Xperia Z3 Consists of the 'Snapdragon 801 chip' which is believed to hold the Quick charge 2.0 Capability (You can also check on their website: https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/quick-charge)
Sony sells a 'Quick charger' also here's the link listed below:

So just reading up and it seems EP880 adapter which is what all UK Z3's have is what the adapter also is with the EP881. The only difference is actually the cable as this has two ferrite cores which prevents interference and the EP880 has none. so ideally I would just need to look for the cable as my adapter is capable of this quick charging 2.0! Apparently the cable we have is the EC803 without the two ferrite cores and the one you need to enable quick charging 2.0 is EC802!
The search goes on for the cable!
I use my note 4 quick charger and it works
How fast is it?

Despite of what Sony says in this link:
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z3-Z3-Dual/Quick-Charge-2-0/m-p/973745#U973745
I have tested different chargers and came to the conclusion that Quick Charge 2.0 does work with the Xperia Z3 (at least with my variant, the D6633). I could verify that I have happily charged my Xperia Z3 from 10% to 100% in a little less than two hours, using a Motorola Moto Maxx (Droid Turbo) charger, which is a charger with Quick Charge 2.0 technology.
Moreover, I have also verified the charging currents with the Battery Monitor Widget app, and noticed that using different chargers can drastically change the charging speed of our phone.
I am going to take some screenshots tonight when I put the Xperia Z3 to charge and then upload them here tomorrow.
SONY Quick Charger EP881 is NOT QC2.0 compatible/certified. I own one & shipped charger seems better but I hv no clue why.
OK, here are the results for my charging.
Up to 40%, I have recharged my phone with a Moto Maxx (Droid Turbo) Quick Charge 2.0 charger, then I changed to the stock/original Xperia Z3 "quick" charger (EP881), which I have no idea why is named "quick" charger by Sony...
Notice the Moto Maxx charger got me a 1600ma/h charging, which would charge my phone in about 2 hours. The EP881 Sony Stock charger got me around 900ma/h charging. That would led me to a total recharging time of more than 3 hours.
I still could not test different Quick Charge 2.0 chargers, but I can assure that the Moto Maxx/Droid Turbo one DOES work with the Xperia Z3.
It IS QC2.0 compatible, HOWEVER: The charging setup is such that you'll only see a benefit in cases of charging while the system is under load.
The Z3 kernel limits battery charge current to 1.5A (approximately 0.5C) regardless of what charger is attached.
If you attach a non-QC2.0 charger with a VERY high quality cable (less than 3 feet with 24 gauge wire or thicker), you'll typically see 1.5A of battery current WHEN THE SCREEN IS OFF. Even in that case, you won't see consistent 1.5A input into the battery (use CurrentWidget)
Turn the screen on and you will NOT see 1.5A of current going into the battery with a non-QC2.0 charger, as the battery power in is (Vbus input limit - system load)
However, if you have a QC2.0 charger, even with a thin USB cable that would normally lead to extremely poor charging performance, you'll see 1.5A go into the battery under almost any load condition.
TL;DR - It's QC2.0 capable but you'll only see a difference when the device's screen is NOT off. If the device is plugged in to a high-quality USB cable and the screen is off, you'll see only minimal differences.
You'll see a MASSIVE difference if you use one of these cables - http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Micro-USB-Cable-UUSBHAUB3RA/dp/B001AR4NC8/ - These cables aren't particularly good for charging with a standard charger because they're thin - but that same "problem" makes them good for connecting to a phone in a car mount. (I cannot find heavier-gauge cables with a right angle connector). If you use a standard charger with them, you'll find your battery draining with Google Maps Navigation. With a QC2.0 car charger - the battery will actually charge while running Navigation.
I've confirmed QC2.0 functionality with a Tenergy wall charger, a Powermod car charger, and an Aukey external pack. The Tenergy wall charger is nice in that it has an indicator light - blue if in "standard" 5v mode, green if in 9v or 12v QC2.0 modes. Sony's stock chargers are NOT QC2.0 capable.

I find it interesting that you say this, because even with the phone left untouched I can't even get 1.0A charging with the stock charger and stock usb cable. As I have shown in my post before, I get a 0.8 to 0.9A charging, and yes, the screen is off. I have not touched my phone during this time at all. What can I conclude from that? Isn't the stock usb cable good enough?
Moreover, if this limit is set the by Z3 Kernel, it is possible to edit in the stock kernel, isn't it?
Regards.

In my case, I was using a Samsung tablet charger. These actually increase their voltage slightly under load to compensate for cable losses. I forget what Sony's stock charger is rated - but if you're only seeing 0.8-0.9A, then it might be on the weak side (just like the 2012 Nexus 7 had a weak charger). I pretty much exclusively use Anker multiport power supplies and either Monoprice or Anker heavy-gauge (24AWG for Monoprice, supposedly 21 for the Anker, lower is thicker/better here) cables.
A QC2.0 charger makes the cable selection FAR less important - transferring a given wattage requires less current at 9V than at 5V, which leads to less resistive losses in the cable. Same principle as why power grids use hundreds of kilovolts for long-haul transmission lines.
Yes the kernel could be altered, but since the battery is nonreplaceable, few responsible developers are going to do it. Heck, sony AOSP currently disables the HVDCP service due to paranoia about ensuring that ALL battery management protection mechanisms are in place before turning it on in AOSP. (I am fairly certain they ARE all there, but I want to do some more digging.)
HVDCP?what is that?so if the kernel is altered then quick charge 2.0 can be used?so now my z3 d6653 can only charge a maximum current of 1.5 A?

HVDCP - High Voltage Dedicated Charging Port - I think Qualcomm is actually attempting to get QC2.0 standardized (they're already licensing it to non-QCOM OEMs - the Galaxy S6 supports it, as does NVidia's SHIELD Tablet, NV doesn't market the capability AT ALL but it's there!), so there are lots of references to naming conventions consistent with the USB Battery Charging Standard
DCP - Dedicated Charging Port (dumb wall charger)
SDP - Standard Downstream Port (PC port, limited to 500 mA)
CDP - Charging Downstream Port (PC port, allows for higher current) - Android device support for CDP detection is pretty rare, lots of kernel developers will risk damaging SDPs by simply forcing CDP behavior from an SDP
Even without kernel alterations, Quick Charge 2.0 is used - Quick Charge 2.0 is defined as delivering 9v or 12v from the wall to the device in order to deliver more power. It's up to the OEM whether to dump more of that into the battery, or simply to use it to allow for higher total system power. Without QC2.0, the Z3 can only charge at full rate in the absolute best of circumstances (screen turned off, even then it doesn't always reach 1.5A) - with QC2.0, the Z3 can charge at full speed even with the screen on.

Yes, it will charge faster.
How much faster depends on what you're doing. If the device's screen is off and it's idle, only a little bit faster.
If you're running Google Maps Navigation in a car, the difference will be massive. As in "charging at a decent rate vs. discharging despite being connected to a power supply".
It will charge in around 130 minutes with QC2.0, and around 210 minutes with the stock charger (EP880).
At least that's how it works for me.

Let's discuss what wall and car chargers you have been able to charge the phone with.
I haven't bought it yet, but the Tronsmart 33 watt dual charger for the car looks promising: https://goo.gl/a3vada
I have a Tronsmart quick charge 3.0 home charger right now, but I don't have my phone yet. When I'm able to test it, I'll let everyone know.
Of course, if you are going to use a USB A to USB C cable, make sure it isn't a cheap one. Apparently there are reports of bad cables that may short out.
A question I have is: Can we get the full use of the Turbocharge with a USB A to USB C cable? Or do we need to go straight USB C to USB C? ANSWER, according to @tea_dub84: Possible that you will need USB C to USB C cables to achieve fastest charging.
Some helpful information:

Most definitely going to need usb c to usb c for the fastest charging. With a usb a end I believe the best amp rating we can get is 2.4a but usually around 2. To turbo charge the Moto Z and for it to recognize turbo charging you need at least 5v at 3amps (15watts). The stock turbo charger outputs 5v at 5.7 amps (28.5watts). Our phones don't follow Qualcomm quick charge standards. I believe our phones follow the usb power delivery standard for charging.
I gave up looking and went to the local Verizon store. I was having an issue that the only charger that would charge my moto mod battery, Incipio, was the supplied charger with the phone.
They had usb c chargers in stock. I tested out the home charger and it turbo charged my phone then started to charge the battery mod. Then tested the usb c car charger and it turbo charged my phone then switched to charging the mod.
So needless to say I'm satisfied.

Any USB C to C charger will *work*, but they won't turbo charge since Motorola doesn't use QC 2 or 3. It uses the USB C charging standard with a twist. I have tried a couple chargers, and the phone will always pop up a box telling that to enable turbocharge I need to use a turbocharge charger, etc...
The Z Force charges with a 5v at 5.7a, and many chargers won't put out that much power. I've seen a lot of 3a and 5a chargers, but few 5.7a.
If you're lucky enough to have a USB C port on a PC/Mac, it will turbo charge the phone as fast as the stock charger, provided you use a good quality C to C cable. It will also let you transfer data to the phone at insane speeds.
Verizon sells TWO car chargers that are Type-C one of them states Qualcomm QC 3.0 and the other does not but both show they are rated at 5V/3A (15 watts)
Has anyone tried one with the VZ branding? If so, which model was it? SKU #TYPECPDQC3VPC or SKU #TYPECPDVPC ?
So I ended up getting the SKU #TYPECPDQC3VPC and it works fine in turbo mode. Go with that one for the car!
I picked up the following charger from amazon with a discount from snagshout.com. Seems to work as it should, have only used it twice though.

Sou Brasileiro e comprei o Aukey Car Charger citado no primeiro post pelo Ebay e carregou com o Turbo Charger. Tenho um Moto Z Play (XT1635-02)
I've got a Pixel charger I use at home, and a Verizon QC3/USB-PD vehicle charger

I bought this charger :
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Type-C-5-Port-Charger-PowerPort/dp/B01D8C6ULO/
It works perfectly on turbo power via the usb c port.
It follows a Motorola Proprietary Power Delivery, compatible with other USB Type-C Power Delivery devices up to 5V/3A max
The Verizon TYPECPDQC3VPC, TYPECPDVPC car chargers and TYPECPDQC3TVL wall charger will charge 5V/3A. (I bought mine off ebay as Verizon/Xentris non-branded for $9 each~ YMMV)

I think most usb type-c PD chargers will "fast charge" up to 5V/3A, only the Motorola TubroPower 30 has the capability to do 5V/5.7A proprietary "turbo charge".. It was $20 shipped on Verizon 'til recently, that's where I bought mine.
I bought this charger for home, it's the verizon oem from xentris with the logo marked over. http://www.ebay.com/itm/351967678957

And does it turbo charge?
Ive noticed that my XZ comes with a 1.5amp UCH20 Charger in the box... but Im a little reluctant to spend even more money on a UCH10 1.8amp or UCH12W...
Ive read the XZ is QC 2.0 (not sure if its QC 3.0)
So, will my XZ be OK if I charge with a 5V / 2A charger.. or is that too high?
Thanks
As long as the charger is 5V, the phone won't draw more current than it can support.
My XZ comes with a QC3.0 charger so I presume it supports QC3.0.
I know these days 2A is standard..
Yes, the charger is 5V.. Many thanks for the help friend
You wouldve thought that SONY couldve put a better charger in the box for their latest flagship
