I have other types of cables as I can't find my moto cable..all these other cables just don't charge the phone like the moto cable does..why is that? I even tried a super short one but nothing beats the stock cable for some reason.

Stock cable is a plain USB 2.0 Micro USB cable. Nothing special about it.
Now, the "wall wort" end is 1.15A so make sure you are also using it. Past Moto's included a .850A charger.
Ya I'm using the moto walwatt. These are standard micro USB also some long some short the length doesn't seem to change the changing time but it takes a very long time vs the white moto cable..moto has em for 9 bucks so I'll just order another one.

Not sure why you might be seeing a difference, other than possibly you have older USB micro cables? i..e not usb 2.0? Or they may just be low quality cables.
I have a mix of older Moto USB cables (from my Droid, Droid X and Bionic), as well as a few 3ft, 6ft and 12ft cables (labeled as USB 2.0 or Hi-Speed USB) that I got from Newegg.com (link depot) and the local Tiger Direct store (cables to go and another brand I forget the name of). At the office I have the cables that came with my Galaxy S2, S3, S4, S5, Note 2, Note 3, Tab 3 10.1" that I often use.
As long as the wall wort (or car charger plug) is 1A or higher, my X charges in the same amount of time no matter which of these cables I use.
If you order from Moto, pay attention to the shipping!! the highest cost shipping method is often selected by default.
I have at least 8 cords....about 5 charge well and similar....a few are junk tho. They barely charge it....or don't really at all if I'm using it while plugged in.

Just FYI: There is a "thanks" button below each post. No one gets reimbursed for their time here, so "thanks" is the only credit anyone on XDA receives. If they helped you, hit the thanks button
Also, KJ advised you that the app "gsam" shows you how much current the phone is receiving during a charge. You can download it at the play store. It should help you figure out what the problem is...
Good Luck

Anyone find any good USB charging cables for their G Flex?
I've ordered and tried like over 15 now and none really work like the OEM USB cable... either they give me a slow charger, they fall out of the phone's USB connector, or they won't charge at all.
I've tried like different ones from Monoprice, Fosmon ones, and 2 different ones form BB.
I know its the cables because when I use my OEM LG cable with an old HTC charger it works just fine.
I ordered this 6ft BB Playbook charger over the weekend: http://www.amazon.com/Blackberry-Folding-Blade-Charger-Playbook/dp/B004OZMWUS/ because I've heard people having good results with it. I'll post a review when I get it. Fingers crossed.

Hi
I can only recommend this special low-resistance charging cable from PortaPow.
portablepowersupplies.co.uk/portapow-fast-charge-micro-usb-cable
Please check out this cable here
I got one of the 2.5 meters version and the charging speed is still awesome with this cable! Its perfect for the bedroom.
Greetings
You can buy lg oem usb cable on Amazon. Try search for the cable under different lg phone model. I bought a few pairs for $ 3 each. It don't have necessary said for flex since many other lg phone use the same type of cable.

I give the BB Playbook Blade charger a C+ for charing the G Flex but a A+ for charging any other Android device.
It charges the G Flex really super fast... prob the fastest out of all the chargers I've tried from what Battery Monitor Widget tells me BUT like all the other USB cables I've tried the connection isn't secure and iif I move or even just do the knock-knock code the cable slips out of the socket.
I did order 2 more off eBay for charging my other android devices... the 6+ ft cord is really useful. Just wish it would fit the G Flex micro USB socket.

I think this might be the best route because I haven't found 1 USB cable out of 20+ test that will stay in the socket when the phone is moved.

Do U use Mac or PC?
I have the same issue, I got a 750mA charger from a Nokia and it charges faster then my 2.1amp oem Samsung charger. I have had a really hard time finding a good cable that works with this phone. I lost my OEM LG Charger, I think it's time to buy one again.
Try charge only cables. Worked for me..
I use blackberry cables. Very high quality, and have never had issues.
ROGERS • LG G Flex D950G • Stock ROOT 4.4.2 • V4A • 180DPI • FLEXIN'
The samsung chargers work pretty well too. Sometimes i get a slow charge when im plugged into like a power brick, and not plugged directly into the wall outlet.
Know it's weird but next plug into a brick or strip an get the slow charging flip the adapter around in the socket
my problem is similar
Ive tried multiple cables,but in the car, it will always give me a slow charge (around half a amp,when i think it should be 1.8)
so bacsically i can get no rapid charge while in the car
Again, ive tried multiple cables and multiple chargers. even 2 that were supposed to figure out the max input of the flex, and use that to charge it rapidly. but i ALWAYS get slow charge
the only time I dont is when I plug it into a standard wall charger,it will rapid charge then
what car chargers have yall used that will NOT give you the slow charge?
please help. Ive spent $80 in trying
I ordered the Moto G as a gift for my sister. The only USB charger she has is the one that came with her iPad Air. Will that one by OK for the Moto G? It is over 2A (2.4A I think) and I read somewhere that Apple doesn't follow the USB charging standards.

I tried at my brother's home and it works
Thanks! How fast does it charge? I read somewhere that it could charge with just 0.5A (so really slow) even though the charger is over 2A, is this true?
So, does the iPad charger charge the Moto G at a good speed?
@2014 yes it should charge quickily
Thanks. She tried it and she said the ipad charger charged the Moto G in about 1 hour, which seems fine.
I have a generic 2.1a charger see pics... 1 h 14 min to full from 25%
according to motorola moto g can only use 1,5a max... even if the charger has more power it does not use all...
I thought the device would heat more using this 2.1a charger, but not the same as the 500mA or 850mA... my came with a 850ma charger...

Technically, the phone will automatically reduce the voltage and Ampe it receive. So just plug it in your phone and it does the rest for you.
I have so many chargers in my house, HP Touchpad, Motorla X910, Moto G, amazon 9w2A etc...
just plug into the Hp touchpad or amazon if I wanna charge fast. And the other which isn't in hurry
totally safe ! Unless you intend to use with while charging and the over-heat may cause a problem
Hi all,
I am from India and i just brought a new moto x(1st gen). I dont get a charger with the box. please anybody suggest me a gud charger. is our moto x supports turbo charging ???
You mention both 1st gen and 2nd Gen in your post. Which phone are you looking to get a charger for?
The 1st Gen (aka 2013) Moto X ships with a 1.15A (aka 1150mA) charger. Neither the phone, nor the charger support Turbo Charging. Standard 1A (aka 1000mA) or higher chargers with MicroUSB ends will work to charge it.
I don't have a 2nd Gen (2014) Moto X. But it and its included charger DO support turbo charging. As far as I know, you need a special charger that is compatible with Turbo charging if you want to make use of that feature. But standard 1A (1000mA) and up chargers will work to charge it at "regular" rates.
aside from the fact that we dont yet know which model you have to give you avalid answer this post belongs into the Q&A section
I've seen variation in charge times...
When i use a 1.2 Amp charger ... i can go from 10% to fully charged in ~1 hour . I have a Moto X (XT1053)
My partner has model : XT1052, and it doesn't charge as quickly - I'm not sure if it is because it is the wrong voltage (European model phone). i think Fast charge can be turned on or off at kernel level. Not sure about this however.
I think he is talking about the moto x 1st gen from flipkart which is available for Rs 18000 but without the adapter

If by "fast charge" you mean "turbo charge" like on the new X, that is a function of the new Qualcomm chip used in the 2nd Gen X. See -> https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/quick-charge
As for the XT1053 vs XT1052 charging speed, they both take 5 Volt input which is standard for USB ports and MicroUSB chargers. The speed difference you are seeing could be due to the current supplied by the adapters (i.e. if your adapter is 1.2A and your partner uses a 750mA), OR if there are different apps running on the phone while charging. Example, if Google Maps/Navigation is running on the phone, it will charger slower than if GMaps/Navigation wasn't running.

I've found that some cables will not let the full current through that the charger is rated for. In not sure if it's due to voltage drop our what though, as I don't care enough to dig into it further.

So one of the best things about the Turbo is the Turbo Charging. I wanted to be able to do this in my car, but there was no Car Turbo Charger on Motorola's website. Eventually found out that they don't make one, but other companies do. After looking on Amazon, found this guy: http://goo.gl/rbfX1H Only cost $16 (at least when I bought it) and has additional usb charging port for additional device. Comes in white as well. And yes, it turbo charges the same as the home turbo charger which is awesome!!!
The key is to just make sure the charger supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 - there are several others on Amazon you might want to check out, but I found this one to be the best for the money and features and it's working great for me!
This is pretty useful, I didn't know we had quick charge on car

This is the one I bought. Probably the same one. Dual port Turbo charger. Don't worry. IF the 2nd device is not a Quick Charge device (old tablet, old phone), it's still safe. Will automatically downscale to the charge needed.

I use the original quick charger that came with my phone in my car with an ac car power inverter. So anything with a normal plug can go into your cigarette lighter port. Basically something like this...
http://www.amazon.com/ENERGIZER-Ultra-Silent-Inverter-cigarette-compatible/dp/B00VMRHE7C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1438281631&sr=8-2&keywords=12+watt+car+power+inverter
This is a little expensive because it has USB ports too. But Walmart, Amazon, etc. always have sales on these. The one I have I got for $9.99 with tax. Just gotta look around. I just did a quick search for an example.
I haven't tried the two port ones with quick charge, however
The Choe 4 port quick charger adfoc.us/29745255996782
and the Tronsmart 4 port charger adfoc.us/29745256032891
have both performed great for me. I have to give the Tronsmart the edge due to simply feeling a bit more solid, not having a glossy finish, the longer warranty and the 5 star rating vs the choe's 4 star.
Someone tested this?

Since we won't be getting it in the box, and I don't have a USB-C port on my laptop, I'll def. need to get one.
I thought of just getting the Google Store one, but $13.00 seemed a bit high
Then I thought of getting the OnePlus Cable one since it's cheaper, has some nice design features (flat, cable organizer, etc.), but then I realized it's only USB 2.0 spec and I kinda want to future proof the cable.
I figured the Spigen Cable would be a safe bet since it's a known brand, 3.0 spec, and discounted on their eBay store, but it's backordered til end of November!
Finally, I found this "generic" one on Amazon which I think I'll get since it has a bunch of reviews and is in stock before the N5X comes in.
Has anyone else started shopping for their USB-C <-> USB-A cable? Any other suggestions to consider?
I just got the one off of google
Got these cause they were a decently priced multipack.

I got a couple of the OnePlus cables, from the reviews I've read they are some of the best A to C cables available so far, and pretty cheap to boot.
I ordered a few of the Spigen cables on Amazon last week and already have them in hand. I have two of the C-A and one C-C.
I ordered the oneplus cable, it's on its way. Reversible insertion on both ends sounds good. Hopefully it's as good as monoprice premium cables. Bought the 5 feet version. Playstore only has a 3 feet version.

I ordered some 2.0 cables from Aliexpress for <$2 each. since I won't have a phone that supports 3.0 until at least next year I didn't feel the need to future proof as the cables should come down considerably in price over the next year as more devices move to c. also, by the time I get a 3.0 phone I may not have a computer with an a port anyway
Got some Cable Matters USB 2.0 cables from Amazon because they are good quality cables and support "USB Fast Charging @ 5V 3A". Both 3.3 feet and 6.6 feet cables available.

I did not know that. Dang it. I saw one review that said it charges at 800mAh. I ordered through Amazon Prime, so I will use the return policy if it turns out to charge slower. I will state something like the company was not clear about charging at slower speeds and demand a refund. Unacceptable to me
Edit: some users say it charges just as fast as the OP2's OEM cable. Either it's a fake review or the other users that complained received duds

OP2 was the only device that used type c at the time which makes it difficult to have a better judgment with those cables. OP2 did compromise stuff so idk what else they did. I am hoping the people who said the cables were not charging that quickly had duds
I will test when I get my phone and the cables
These cables are either junk or totally overpriced. The selection right now is awful
