Im searching for a 1.5a charger. Can you recommend a charger from another phone? I find it really hard to find one when ever i was asked what phone i have and when i said moto g, they just said no. Most of the time i see 2.0 or 2.1a i know moto g still support that but i read that it heats the phone. Thats why im searching for the max amp that moto suppprts. Pls reply from what phone do you use, like brand and phone model. Pls only 1.5a. Thanks.

Just buy one of those 2amp chargers you've seen.Your phone has built-in circuitry that will limit the current to 1.5A anyway.In other words, your phone won't heat up more than, if you're using 1.5A charger.
Actually there are some reports that uses 2.0a+ charger that heats up their phone.

I found this one (it is not 1.5, but 1.2):
Nokia AC-10E
Input: 100-240V, 50-60Hz
Output: 5.0V, 1200mA
For my Moto G sometimes I use my mother's phone charger and it charges quite fast my phone. It is an HTC charger:
HTC TC E250
Input: 100-240V/200 mA
Output: 5V, 1A
Thanks giugo.
i use my old nokia E52's charger...output is 1200mA (1.2 A)..charge fast and haven't faced any issue yet
you may go and grab one of nokia's charger in my opinion :good:
S3 stock charger 1 amp and s4 stock charger 2 amp .
Trying to understand the limitation of the turbo charger. I understand it can only do a small subset of the battery in "turbo" mode so it doesn't overpower the battery - fine, makes sense. But does this mean it has to be from 1-30% for example or do I get turbo benefit if I had to plug in to top off from 50-80% for example?
I'm 99% sure it only works in the 0-80% range or so. With most chargers, charging slows for the last 5 to 10% to prevent long-term damage. Slow-charging a Li battery will result in better longevity. There is a good chance it will work in the 50 to 80 range, but certainly not the 80 to 100 range.
Does anyone have the turbo charger and stock charger and can offer some stats on charge times, etc.?

Turbo charger is on preorder right now. Mine says it ships Oct 14. I would imagine its just a boost anywhere around 2.5 - 5.0 volts. The plug that came with my Moto X is a dual plug that is 5.0v so 2.5v per plug I suppose.
Is it only supposed to be used on certain occasions? Meaning we should not use it as our daily charger?

This actually made me laugh out loud. Thank you sir.
I have and use religiously the charger that came with my Blackberry Playbook Tablet awhile back and i bet that it is the same output as the turbo charger. My original X (new custom comes tomorrow) will charge about 40% in 12-15 min. It fly's and my wife loves it too. All my friend and family love using it when they come over.
So it is not the same as the PB charger. Its a QC2.0 charger with 4.5Amp. Your PB charger is no more than 2.1Amp. Most certainly a nice pump incharging but many do that today. Its smart enough not to cook the phone so it should be just fine for daily use. My order still says it will ship on 9/23. Big fail there Moto!
From what I've read, the turbo charger uses Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0 which allows the charger to talk to your phone and utilize the full power of the charger, up to 60W if available. It only works with Snapdragon 800 processors. A regular tablet charger will supply 10-15W of power. I couldn't find anything on what levels the battery has to be at for the quick charge to happen, but I think I remember hearing it charges at full capacity up to 67%. I may be wrong on that though.
My question is if Motorola is going to release a car turbo charger. I would rather be able to charge up my phone as I'm driving to go out. Qualcomm lists a few different chargers that use the quick charge 2.0, but none of them are available yet.

There's a 3rd party car charger on Amazon now that claims to do Quick Charge 2.0, but the price is pretty steep. No reviews yet.

That was the list I referred to, however none of them are available yet, but many of us already have our phone. How could the phone be ready but the chargers are not? Baffling.
Anyone got the turbo Charger yet? And is that incipio one even certified by Qualcomm?
Cheers

Mine still shows as not shipped. As far as the Incipio car charge, Qualcomm lists an Incipio charger, but it is one of the only ones that does not have a link. I'm guessing it's certified though.

Grab a power inverter from Lowe's or Home Depot or any auto parts store. Then just plug your turbo charger into the inverter!

I have an inverter, but that is a piecemeal way of doing it. Plus inverters are not small and sleek like many car chargers. Hopefully it will just take a couple weeks for products to start hitting the market.
Are any of the car chargers with turbo charging ability, dual USB ports? I have to use dual port to power My ad2p gateway.
If they are all 1 USB port I won't be able to try it. I'm more interested in turbocharging on the go than at home.
The only one that I've seen is the Incipio car charger. On Amazon, it says it's a dual port, but the pictures only show one port so I'm not sure. I'm guessing the pictures are not correct.
Hi guys. Moto G 2015 has a Snapdragon 410 which support quick charge 2.0 but the smartphone doesn't support that feature. There's any trick to enable it? Thanks
From the official Qualcomm site
View attachment 3520554
Its an YES.
but it will lower the Battery life if Quickcharging is done .. so better dont do any risks with NON REMOVABLE BATTERY
even though it supports Quickcharge some people say it wont be noticeable ,but some say it charges in lesser time .. but i havent tested any
i am also eager to know the answers of experts :good::highfive: ; hope we get good answers to this post

The SoC supports up to QC 2.0, but the charger IC Moto used doesn't.
The max you will get is 800mA.
Cheap Moto could at least used a simple QC 1.0 charger IC compatible up to 1500mA, but no.
You got the cheaper of the cheapest...
So, anything goes?

I recently purchased this device and it arrived with no charger at all, probably removed because it was garbage? I have two chargers that can be used, one is a now several years old HTC One m7 charger which outputs 1A and has QC 1.0
The other is a Google Chromecast 2nd generation LPS supply with 1A and probably not QC 1.0?
Either way, what I have been hearing is that people either get two or four hours+ of waiting in order for it to be charged up. Since both are above 800 mA (assuming this is the true max current) then I wonder if there could be a difference between these two. If there isn't then of course the newer one is safer to use as it has not got the years of wear the HTC One m7 have done to it, but that would cost me quick charge. Buying new brand USB chargers here with ~2A can cost 30 dollars so want to avoid it
Thanks if you ever make a reply. Going to test this out later when I have time to discharge completely.
EDIT: Assuming the cable they included supports their max charging standard, I hope at least... I know some cables aren't up to specifications but they couldn't have given me a bad cable that's too much.

Doesn't matter hoe much your charger can put out, the device chargng IC will only drawb800mA max.

Ah, I see, so QC 1.0 is just another word for max 800 mA and there is no "chargers" with this feature? Thanks for clarifying.
Old thread I know, but I'd like to share that, depending on cable and charger, my moto G3 charges at almost 1A (970 mah) when its battery is under 60%. Then from 60% on it charges at roughly 700 mah. Moto G3 2015 (X1540), ROM Resurrection remix 5.7.4 (MM 6.0.1), kernel squid r22, charger Asus 2.5 A, cable Asus also.
Does the Flex2 offer a notification when connected to a Qualcomm certified Quick Charge 2.0 charger?
I've seen that Note4 does so I was wondering if Flex2 did as well.
Thanks

No, they will charge like a normal device with 5V/2A charger...this is ridiculous i know, the charger have 5V/9V mode and you never know when they activate the fast charge!
But, they charge quick enough to charge...dont mind about it!
Alright, thanks. I wonder if LG just plain forgot to enable this notification for one of the most touted features of Flex2 or they cut a very, very cheap corner.

OK, thanks. Mine is the poor man's Flex2, F510L. I hope Fast Charge is available on it.
so today i connected my phone to its stock charger the one that came with the phone and a weird thing happened my phone went into download mode and now i get the feeling that my phone isn't charging quickly as before. its only my feeling don't know if its true.
so my questions are
is the phone supposed to show fast charging notification or something like that when connected to its stock charger.(never payed attention to such details myself). and also is the stock charger even a fast charger. since my phone has always charged quickly i always assumed its a fast charger. it does say 9.0V and 5.0V under the output heading.
second
what do u think might be the reason behind that weird download mode appearance. is it the charger, the cable or the phone itself.
i have connected the charger again and again to see if it happens again but it hasn't happened yet.
i have a rooted flex 2 but i have made no system file changes because i use root for ad blocking app freezing and greenify only. no xposed installed either as i am afraid to install it.
An answer in Lenovo's support forums says the G5 does not support Turbo Power, but it comes with a 10W rapid charger. The problem that here in Brazil not even this 10w charger gets shlpped with the phone, neither can I find it for sale, so I'm thinking about getting a 15W Turbo Power charger, does anyone knows if it'll charge the G5 (25W and above are reportedly not working with the G5)
It won't work, But you'll get fast charge tho (NOT TurboCharge, which is even faster. Just standart fast charge)

Ok, if you do it, that'll hilp a lot, since moto G5 came with this standard 2A charges.
I bought my Moto G5 in Brazil near the launch date, it did come with the 10 W charger (5V-2A, W = V x A, do the math). As far as I know, Snapdragon 430 support Quick Charge 3.0. I bought a ROCK charger with Quick Charge 3.0, just waiting for it to arrive from Aliexpress, should work just fine.

Well, I didn't know that this would result in 10W. Anyways, as far as I know the moto G5 doesn't support Turbo/Quick charge, despite using the Snapdragon 430. I say thay because none of the TurboPower chargers in Motorola's website cites the G5 as supported (only G5+/G5S), in addition, I read many reports in Lenovo's official forum repporting it doesn't support Quick/Turbo Charge, like here: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-G...g-with-Qualcomm-quick-charge-3-0/td-p/3828209
In other words, a 15W charger is not supposed to provide great advantages over the regular charger that came with it.
Anyways, thanks for showing me a 5v-2a equals 10w, I googled and confirmed it.

You are welcome.
To be honest I have been using the Quick Charger but can confirm if it's working or not. I usually just plug the phone before going to sleep, when I wake up it's already 100% . I will search if there's anything available to detect if it's using the quick charge or not.
Did it work?
I'm using my wife's charger from her G4+ and it seems not boost the charger at all. It takes the same time with my own charger. Normally, batteries got a regulator that protect the battery from being overpowered and, maybe, exploded. So, if it was setted to 2A max it won't work anyway. Also, the official charger detects, through USB interface, if the device support Boosted Charging before sending 3A. If you wanna save your money, my advice is don't buy it.
Moto G5 doesn't support Qualcomm 2.0 or 3.0 which charge at 9V or 12V. My original charger used to charge at 5.2V and up to 1.5A, but it doesn't anymore, now doesn't go over 5.0V. Very difficult to charge when powered on when normal charger only manages about 0.6A . Also have problem with portable battery packs, best option is to connect external battery when full, and it just about stops internal battery falling. Maybe the connector wearing out, have tried different cables....

Sometimes it can be as simple as a tiny piece of pocket lint/crud in the USB charging port. You can buy cans of compressed air to blow them out same as used on Camera lens or check with magnifying glass and then a toothpick with care to clean anything found out.

Blast from past on old phone! The usb port eventually failed completely, fortunately the little board is easy to replace, but the replacement board only lasted a few months. I still have the phone as a spare and charge the removable battery out of the phone.
