Hello. I recently got a mycharge amp2000 as shown in the photo. I have problems with it charging my moto x. When I plug it in it charges for a second then turns red an stops charging. Now normally this would be a problem with the charger but I have tried it with two other devices including my nexus 4 and it worked perfectly on those. That is why I am concerned it is a problem with my moto x. Any ideas?

I've never used one of those but I have 4 external batteries and they all charge my Moto X just fine.

Hmm...Strange. It could be just a problem with my portable charger that it is just not compatible with the Moto X's voltage or something weird like that...

hmm, strange it should work due to the fact my coworker has the same thing and it works on her Moto X
Try the OEM cable that came with the phone.

I have the same exact problem. My wife and I both have the Verizon Moto X and we each have two external changers. These chargers work fine with our friends' phones and with our Nexus 7s, but they don't work with either of our Moto Xs. I don't seem to see much about this issue around the internet, maybe we just have rare bugs?
Strange. I've tried charging my Moto X in my car the other day and for some reason it refused to charge at all. I think it was because I wasn't using the OEM cable. I don't know but I'm curious if the charging port is just touchy on cables or that certain voltages aren't accepted by this phone.
P.S. My sister charges her phone in my car with the exact same cable almost every morning so there is no problem with it as far as I'm concerned.

This.
One of my other usb cables won't charge the moto x but works fine with other phones, not sure why but it's a longer than normal cable so maybe that has something to do with it. In any case, my moto x charges just fine with the oem cable and a couple other cables I have laying around.

Thanks, I think you're right...just tried one of the externals with the OEM cable and now it's working. I wonder what the difference is, shouldn't a cable just be transferring the power from charger to device? I always thought a cable was a cable and it was the power supplies that differed. Either way, it's obnoxious to always have to carry around the long cord. On of the benefits of external chargers is compact portability.
Only complaint about the Moto X, otherwise this thing is great.
I've used my old HTC cables from the Thunderbolt, Motorola cables for the Xoom, LG cables from some LG phone, and Samsung cables from the S3 and Note 2. All of them work with the wall plug, computers, VZW car charger, and my Jackery charger.
What's the difference between the OEM and other cables? All I've used are OEM-labeled cables but have been looking at a 6ft cable (Monoprice, Amazon brand, Mediabridge or something braided/jacketed) off Amazon.
ive been using a motorola phone for a while now. Idk if it is moto specific or not, but some cables work and some don't. I know on my prior phone some cables would charge but not transfer data. Then some would say on my screen (not a compatible charger or not authorized charger or something). Those wouldn't charge most of the time, but sometimes if i turned the phone on then off or did certain weird things they would end up charging even though the not authorized prompt was still on the phone.
I think it probably has something to do with whether the cable can transfer data correctly for the moto phone. If it can't then it won't charge the phone. never had a problem with higher quality cables or cables that came from high quality phones. Only had problems with no brand name cables or older cables.
my two cents.
Alls I know is I've got a bunch of cables and wall plugs laying around and I just use whatever and it works. I've got cables and wall chargers from Samsung phones and tab, nexus tab, kobo, kindle, Motorola (old flip phone), iPhone (wall plug anyway), a Sony camera, Samsung camera, leapfrog tablet, a car diagnostic computer.....um ....that's all I can think of......and they all work and in any combination. LOL

I'm still using my LG Dare car charger and it works just fine.
The only charger that doesn't work with the Bionic is via USB with pins 2 and 3 covered. Pins 1 and 4 supply voltage and by covering pins 2 and 3 (data pins) my other phones charge fine and then don't attach as a device in Windows.

This...pretty much just make sure the charger from the old phone matches your new one.
im using the car charger i got way back when the droid 1 came out. it works great.
Ok great, thanks for the help. I just wasn't sure if the voltage or whatever might be different.
USB style chargers are all the same voltage, some do send a data like signal to the device like BB chargers. I am using my Moto Droid, HTC Inc, BB, and a generic charger to keep my device alive all day.
Now some generic chargers have been known to fry devices. If using generic be careful!

If you have trouble, you might want to make sure you use the original cable with the car adapter. I've tried two different aftermarket usb cables, and my Bionic will charge only with the OEM cable.
I would use a OEM Motorola dc charger as they seem to charge the fastest.
OK I had a USB cable that Verizon sent me with my like new phone aka used and the USB cable is a data cable and will I can not root with it or any thing it will charge the and that's it my bro let me use his USB cable that came with his Droid 3 using the same computer and it works I can movie my stuff to the SD card but not with my data cable all I can do is charge my phone with it and the box says its a data cable so can you guys give me more info and yes the drivers are installed right because my bros cable works

Ye heard other say that..
But I use about 6 different cables and all of them work the same
Sounds like a somewhat faulty cable. I'd recommend just using a different one or take that one to a Verizon store and seeing if they'll swap it out for a new one.

I think the Moto cables are crossover data cables. This pin configuration would render normal cables as only power cables. It helps them make ONLY their cables work for data, so you buy theirs. **This is merely my theory as to why only Moto cables do data though. Switched pins on phone and crossed over wires.**
If someone has one that currently just charges it, and wouldn't mind maybe ruining it for the better of society , could you open it up and cross over the data wires?

My Kindle cable works fine with my Droid 3 for data and charging - I travel with only micro-USB cable, it's the Kindle cable, and that works. In fact, I just plugged in a cable from a WD Passport external hard disk - that also works fine.
I do suggest people to use the Moto cable if they are having trouble using others, but I have never had an issue using non-Moto cables with the D3 for anything, from charging to USB data connection to a computer.
Sounds like a bad cable. The data wires are more sensitive to physical issues than the Vcc and ground wires. I one had a cheap generic USB cable I was using and while it charged devices fine, it would cause Windows or the device to hang if i tried transferring data.
So I've googled this and see there's a lot of ideas behind what causes it but I Can't find a solid answer.
It doesn't do it when i have it plugged into the outlet on my desk. It has the samsung charge base and a motorola cable. But on the bedside I had an HTC base with the samsung cable (it's long) and it spazzes out.
I also got some cheap charger only able that came with my phone (used phone off of ebay the seller gave me the charger).
So I guess this leaves me to believe that there's something special about the MOTO cable?
I'd say you're very fortunate to have a cable that doesn't cause the problem. Mine has done that with every cable is used. Another person I know hasn't had the problem at all.
I would suggest trying to get your hands on a motorola charger, I've never had much luck using non-moto chargers with my Bionic
Definitely try a different cable. My Bionic and my wife's D4 had that problem with one particular charger in our house so we tossed the charger.

I've only ever had trouble with spazzing when my power AC to DC converter has an output amperage over 1A.
Unfortunately for me, the one that came with my Bionic had an output of 1.3A, so I was wicked confused for a while.
I subscribed to this topic when I skimmed by it a while back, to keep up if anything interesting popped up.
But I wanted to shoot a quick post. I've been having this problem forever with this phone (3 different bionics as well) using my supplied moto usb/ac adapter with other cables.
I saw a post mentioning to just try the supplied adapter and usb cable with it. I couldn't verify if I actually ever had the problem with both together.
Alas, the problem is here too..
I've read somewhere it's an internal grounding issue. I can't vouch for that statement, except of course that it is an issue.
I'll be back if anything ever changes

I'm trying to help a friend who has a moto x. Her phone just isn't charging at all. I connect it to a computer and the pc sees a device connected, but cant figure out what it is. I've tried connecting it to a wall charger, and while the phone can see the charger in the boot choice mode, its just not taking a charge. Any ideas? I've told her to take it back to where she got it, but is this a common problem?

That's what I'm hoping. Don't want to have her stuck with a lemon or having to deal with Moto's customer service. I've heard nothing but horror stories. So I'm hoping the store she got it from doesn't give her any trouble replacing it. She didn't care about customization and just got the stock white one the stores get for quick sales.

Well it does have a 2 year warranty
How long has she had it?
Which cable are you using to charge it? I've cruised a few forums and found a lot of people said that it wouldn't charge unless they used the original charging cable. I don't know why that is, but in my experience I've had the same thing happen with only one other cable and the phone refused to charge. Brought it home and used the original charger and boom! Booted up right away.

Hello everyone.
I had purchased moto g 2014 a couple a months back.Initially the device used to work flawlessly but from the past 2 weeks I have been experiencing issues with the touchscreen which dosent respond correctly while charging.It goes crazy when I hold the touch.Its been really difficult to work with the phone while charging.At around 80-90 percent is stabilizes a bit.Its dosent have any issue while off charger(ie once I unplug the wire it is still crazy but comes back to normal in a while),
I have tried to charging it with my moto charger which came along with my phone and have also tried charging with a Samsung,Sony and Nokia charger (all lower rated) but that too dosent fix the issue.I have even tried usb charging.Now those who would say the my apartments power outlets are noisy,well 4 different phones charge just fine without any issue.
I have even tried fixing this by upgrading to lollipop and then also a hard reset but both were useless.
So I really need to find a fix.Pls help.
Don't know what you are using for a charger as moto g doesn't come with a charger just a usb cable. You could always take the phone back to your supplier.
I have had bad USB cables cause this issue with other phones. Even chargers as well.
Try to use a good quality charger or if you're using a computer, a different port or computer.
I have an Anker cable with a Samsung USB wall charger I'm using and haven't had any issues, even takes a lot less time than the stock Moto G 2 charger (1200 ma vs 550ma).

It did come with a charger(atleast the Indian version did).Its a standard white charger for all variants.Its does look a bit low quality and easily gets heated while charging so that might be the source for my problem.

Same here,I have been using a Nokia charger for a couple of days now,and I have found that the screen is a lot better than while charging on my moto charger(Earlier I used to start charging with my moto charger and then switch to other charger just to check if the problem gets solved but now I tried charging it right from zero with Nokia charger).Even the phone charges faster than that on the higher rated moto charger.So i guess the problems with the charger and not my digitizer or the battery.But still I am facing the screen issue(though on a much less scale).
So, have you tried to calibrate your touchscreen when charging?

That's a common problem with many touch-screen devices while loading.
The charger and/or cable is emitting a low electrical field which interferes with the digitizer and your body's electrical field. Not much you can do about. To find a proper shielded charger and cable is pure luck.

Well shouldn't that affect all the phones?My friend moto 2014 doesn't have any of these issue even on a normal charger .Should that imply that my phone has manufacturing defect?

I don't think so. I have different devices from different Manufacturers ( 2 Motorolas, Asus, Samsung),all with different chargers. They all do misbehave while charging. Maybe it's a problem with the electrical system in the building. But I highly doubt a manufacturers error.
