Motorola Turbo Charger - One (M8) Accessories

It looks like the Motorola Turbo Charger is going to be the first Quick Charge 2.0 charger available in the states. Do anyone know if the M8 need a software update for Quick Charge 2.0 to work? 34.99 is not bad if I can charge my phone fully within 15-30 minutes.

What I saw said in 30 minutes of charging, you get 8 hours usage back. My M8 charges in an hour from nearly nothing. And I get about 20 hours a charge.
Just search for 2A chargers. There's one on Newegg that is $5 shipped. I ordered three, one was a dud. Ain't even mad, took its cord and stuck it in one of the others (they all have two ports). Now my wife can charge her phone and her tablet at the same time.

Indeed it does need a software update for QC 2.0 to be enabled. There is a post on this forum from someone who bought the NTT Docomo charger from Japan and it didn't charge any faster than a 1.5A or 2A charger.

Highly Disappointing. I ordered my Motorola charger this morning and didn't realize it would not work without a software update. Very sad.

Didn't they already launched that update, to support the feature?

If they did, I missed it. I hope you are right! I'll have to dig around.

Why not ask htc support directly?

I just confirmed with HTC support and we can use whatever quick-charge 2.0 (qualcomm certified) we wish, the phone is already prepared for that. I also asked if and when would they launch one and they said they have no info regarding that .
I would much prefer buying a HTC one than paying 35 bucks for the motorola one.

I was wondering... This charge don't damage battery?
samo sie wyslalo

If it did, would they launch this technology?

It surely limits the number of charge cycles before the capacity dips below 80% of what it started with. The more current the hotter it gets, batteries do not like heat. It accelerates their degradation. I reckon it is not intended for daily charging but to quickly get an 80% charge from time to time.

The Quick-charge only boosts the speed it chargers from 0 to 30 per cent, then it decreases the speed so that dosent happen.

What was the outcome? Will it blend?

Has anyone tried this charger?

My dog ate my charger and I'm looking to buy this one till I order a new one. Anybody have any thoughts on it?
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/insigni...lack/5690015.p?id=1219148349637&skuId=5690015
Seems like it would work but there are two things i would like to point out. First this is not a quick charge 2.0 charger so fast charge will not work with it, it will charge at normal rate. Also for myself i try to get wall chargers with removable cables just in case my pet eats thru it I can replace them easily and trust me i have gone through 4 cables in the last 4 months. That said i have had good experiences with ones bought from Ebay as well since the prices are far too tempting.
Is rapid charge the same as quick charge?

Usually not at all. What people claim as "rapid charge" is just a small increase in amperage (usually 2+ amps). By reference, USB 2.0 spec is 500mA.
Quickcharge 2.0 increases both the voltage and the amperage it can supply (is. even more wattage). The exact values are negotiated by the phone and what it draws - which is dependent on the current phase of charging.
Here's the exact same one we got with our note 4, OEM and everything! Plus it's way cheaper than the insignia one

That's the one I've been looking at as well but some of the comments claim it's fake. I know it's not a huge risk at 13 dollars but still kind of apprehensive.
This is the one I've been using and it's fantastic.

I'll report back here after testing them Friday went they arrive! Eeeek! I'm excited lol!
Just got the chargers. All seem to work well and indicate fast charging via phone. Will report back if they fail or anything unexpected.
Can I use the fast charging brick with another cord and have fast charging?

Which charger to use with Nexus 6? (no quickcharge)

Which charger to use? (no quickcharge)
I bought a Samsung charger for my upcoming Nexus 6, i don't want to use the quick charger that comes with the phone. I am starting to suspect that this one is also a quick charger, can anyone look at the attached pictures and tell me? Also if it isn't a quick charger i would like to use it for the long run so my second question is would my battery be affected because of what says on the back of the box that i highlighted? In the highlight are also the specs of the charger, can someone clear this up for me?
EDIT: I cannot post pictures on the forum just yet, so here are the specs
10W Samsung travel adapter, Input 100-240VAC 50-60Hz, Output 5.0VDC 2A
Use only with compatible Samsung devices

I want to use the phone for a couple of years and don't want to shorten the battery life and also have the risk of inflating battery and everything that comes with it. What kind of charger should i buy to charge it in some "normal" time? The salesman in Samsung store told me this one charges Note 4, Galaxy S5 - which is why i bought it - the S5 doesn't have the quickcharge tech so i instantly thought it was an ordinary charger. On the other hand, my Galaxy Nexus official charger is rated for 1.0 A which surely isn't strong enough to charge the 6 properly so i am confused with what kind of a charger and with what ratings should i get? Thank you in advance.

2amps isn't going to shorten the life below 2 years. Higher amps only shorten life if they are above battery tolerances, which 2 amps is not.
Anyway, you'll want a 1 or 1.2 amp charger for slow charging

If I were you, I would use the charger that comes with the Nexus 6. Which is tested by Motorola to work properly. I've had my Nexus 6 since December 2014 and no problems. I charge through my laptop will at work though.

He wants slow charging. So charging through laptop / pc will be fine.
Charge cspacity of usb ports is 500 mA (900 mA for USB 3.0), that's good for slow charging.
Also 1-dollar charger from eBay will be fine.

Nope. So the only thing that will change is his phone will take longer to charge.
That said for me, turbo charge stopped working and I'm very annoyed.
Google have first sent me a new charger which still hasn't arrived. Though I think the issue is the phone. But I wanted to avoid a refurb as long as possible. Can't live without turbo charge now.
I have this charger, http://www.walmart.com/ip/Belkin-F8J031TT04-BLK-Micro-Wall-car-Chrg-Kit-2.1a-10w-W-4ft/40457559, but i got just the charger for $20. It most definitely doesnt turbo charge, it takes atleast 2 hours, so id say its a "normal" charge for this phone and i think its better than the turbo charger, because it doesnt get hot and its still decently fast

The turbo output is only supplied on turbo enabled devices. So there is something wrong with switching to turbo modes 9 V and/or 12 V
I am curious what is the cause of this issue.
Did you try an 'charge app' like Ultra Fast Charger.?

There are some apps in the play store claiming to boost the battery charge.
When wireless charging is also slow, than it could be indeed the battery.
Maybe a complete discharging ?
BTW
Turbo mode is only active when the battery is less than 75% charged.

I don't believe they can but I'm not.going.to try anyway.
You should use a 5 Volt 2 Amp charger, those chargers are the one's that most phones use. Most new phones are using Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0, which you should use but if you are not comftorable then the 5 Volt 2 Amp will work good.
Errr, QuickCharge will in fact degrade a battery faster, it's still used because most phones only have a 2 year lifespan.
A non QuickCharger will also make it run less hot while charging and also be less likely to cause cell expansion. Not sure why there's so many people denying this.
EDIT:
Including some sources:

Please don't tell him that it won't degrade his battery when it definitely will. It's basic chemistry.
To OP:
Any regular non Quick USB charger of reputable make will do fine. I use an older HTC charger. Don't get a super cheap offbrand one as it probably has fluctuating voltage which will also damage your battery.

Actually you've misread (or not read fully). No one disputes the science. That article isn't accurate. All it says is "too quickly" and if you read what I have said, is that the turbo charger is within acceptable tolerances. I.E. It is not "too quickly"

I think you're not understanding the basic chemistry. More heat = more degradation of the Li-ion battery, regardless of tolerances. A lower power charge will always degrade the battery slower. This isn't about tolerances.

Charging speed

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the LG V20 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I use Ampere to see the rate I am getting. First plug in might only be 90 mah. I unplug, replug, it jumps up to 350. A couple more times and I end up at 900-1200. Screen off and let it fast charge.
I recently tried out the HTC Bolt for a couple weeks and it seemed to charge much faster than my V20. Shouldn't it be the other way around since the Bolt uses quick charging 2.0 while the V20 uses Quick charging 3.0?
Slowest charging phone i ever owned but i still love it lol
My H910 charges relatively quickly. Just plugged it into a quickcharge 2.0, not 3.0 car charger and it went from 16% to 50% in ~25 minutes.
I regularly get rates of 1.8A or greater using a CHOETECH or Anker charger. One its above 80%, it drops down, but this is normal.
The Anker is QC3.0 and the CHOETECH are QC2.0

Great
Very fast charge
Delete please.
I have absolutely no complaints with the charging speed. Also, I rarely drop below 40%.
My battery takes forever to charge up!
I just bought a VS995 Verizon Unlocked off the net. Was classified as "almost new - open box", hope I did NOT get a unit with problems. Re-charged it now a total of 5 times and on average (plus or minus 3-5 minutes) it takes approx. 3 hours and 18 minutes. for a full charge 0% to 100% . A few thoughts and questions came to mind while reading all your excellent posts:
1.) I believe he must of lost his quick charger because the one he gave me seems like he bought it off the net. Standard USB charger. So probably not using the quick charge function feature of this phone correct?
2.) Can I goto an electronics store and just copy whatever voltage and amps I need to perform a quick charge? Can someone please POST what the voltages and amps needed for a quick charge 3.0 please.
3.) Anyone have a bad battery or have one go bad after using the wrong charging devices? I was thinking of ordering a new battery BUT they are a little pricey. Anyone know some good outlets to buy them at a fair price?
4.) Does rooting the device and putting one of the ROM's on their cell solve anyone's battery problem? If so which ROM do you recommend?
Overall that is my only gripe about the phone. I love the DAC and for all you music lovers out there try Sirius XM on the LG-V20 and make sure to use Hi-Fi made headphones. I bought myself Bowers and Wilkens P7's, sort of pricey but worth it to me. The other thing is Napster as well the songs you download sound awesome with this DAC. For both of these APPS make sure you go into settings and adjust the quality of the downloads and streaming. Otherwise you could be listening to it with poor quality settings from the get go.
Ok well I appreciate any help or advice on my battery situation!
Thanks in advance to anyone helping me out.

Any charger that says Quick Charge 3.0 would work. I think even QC 2.0 would charge at the same speed, but just less energy efficient.
The difference between qc 2 and 3 is 3 has a variable voltage allowing it to use energy more efficiently.
Excess energy is lost as heat on qc2, the power is reduced in qc3 when the battery starts to get full.
The charge time is the same.
Specs for QC 2 is 5V / 9V/ 12V, specs for QC 3 is
3.2v - 20v dynamic

What charging speeds are people getting with QCm

I'm just curious how long it's taking people to charge their devices using a QC 3.0 charger. It seems slow for me. I went from 10% to 20% in about twenty minutes. Other QC devices I've had charge much faster than this. Is this normal? It's an Anker 3.0 charger and I've tried multiple cables.
Its taking longer than id imagined based on what id seen about QC3 fast enough though and the phone doesn't seem to get warm. This is using the provided Sony charger which the store told me was a quick charge one. I see similar speeds off my Anker in car charger which is QC3 compliant.
Only ever had my Nexus 5X to compare to (which wasn't QC3 just rapid USB charging) and it seems about on par with that id say.
Using the included Sony QC charger and cable, mine charged from 16% to 70% in 50 minutes and then tapered off from 70% to 100% taking ~80 minutes for that.
Is the QC included? Read a review that it was not. Will receive mine next week.
I think it depends on the region; mine came from Expansys, which I think is the Hong Kong version with a type-G plug (UK), and it did. It only came with a corded hands-free headset, though.
Mine arrived Thursday and I charged it to 100% before turning it on. It was at 5% today when I plugged in the charger. It took 2 hours to reach 100% with the phone turned on but not being used. My phone was ordered from eGlobal Central, Hong Kong. Charger has the Type G plug with Type A, non-polarized adapter.
Cheers!
Got it today, and there was no QC in the package. :/ I live in Scandinavia.
There's a toggle in the settings for the Battery Care mode and from what I understand it monitors your charge habits and slows the quick charge time down during times when it thinks you'll leave it plugged in longer. The premise is that it will prolong battery service life. If you're looking for absolute fastest charge times be sure that's toggled off because it's on by default.
My HK market phone also came with the Sony quick charger. Seller included an adapter for US.
I ordered this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/SAMAR-Charge-Charger-PowerPort-Samsung-Black/dp/B075CFKWNQ/ from Ebay with an EU plug.

I bought a Quickcharge3 from Amazon. Works brilliantly, 2% per minute for the first 30 minutes. Slows down quickly after that. As was mentioned above, there is a battery care option that can delliberatly slow down the charge if it feels it's not in the interests of the battery, perhaps that's what's happening when you are charging. Turn if off, restart the phone and then try again.
Edit: make sure you are using the original supplied Sony USB cable when you are testing. USB C leads are notorious at giving charging problems, especially cheap ones.
Any visual clues if fast charging is active? When using the magnetic load connection on the z3c the 'Fast charging' text was visible.
Xperia z1
Using a generic charger my Xperia Z1 have a decent charging speed.
My some apps are open while you charge. They consume a large amount of space and battery.

About the charging with UCH12

Hello. I just bought this XZ1 Compact from a sale. The phone was bundled with UCH20 charger which was a bit disappointing but luckily I had the fast charger, UCH12, from previous Sony phones. I have read that this phone supports Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0 so it SHOULD charge quite rapidly. However, when I plugged the phone in the charger, it was charging really slowly. I mean 4.5 hours from 11% to 95%. Should the phone say "charging rapidly" or something at the lock screen?
Anyway, then I decided to test the UCH20 that was bundled with the phone and interestingly it charges a bit faster than the UCH12. This time it took a bit less than 3 hours to charge completely. This UCH12 charger charges rapidly my previous phones so I guess it shouldn't be broken?
What kind of charging speeds have you gotten with the UCH12 charger?
Did you have Battery Care enabled?

Yes I have. Does it affect the charging speed when below 90% battery?
It shouldn't, but since you only mentioned the total charging time to full 95% and "completely", I figured it wouldn't hurt to make sure.

Ok. Next time I will toggle it off and see if itmakes any difference. Sadly this battery lasts forever so I have to wait a couple of days to test it
Just bought an XZ1 compact myself, and I'm interested in the answer to this question, too. According to the Sony site, the XZ1 compact is compatible for QC with the UCH12W, but not the UCH12: https://support.sonymobile.com/glob...-charging/02310188014550f700148fcce243e002e57
However, these posts from Sony support suggest that there are no differences between the two, other than the cables that come with them: https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...tween-a-UHC20-and-UHC12-chargers/td-p/1297608 https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Wired-accessories/Chargers-UCH12-vs-UCH12W/td-p/1194598
The UCH12W appears to be an international version without US-style bladed contacts, and I can't find it on the US version of the Sony store. Also, when you go to the US Sony store and search for compatible chargers based on phone model, the XZ1 compact shows *no* models, just a car charger. So maybe it's possible that the US model of the quick charger really is incompatible with the XZ1c, even though the phone does have QC capability?
I'd love to hear about a confirmed working (third party is fine) QC charger that's compatible.

Alright now I did some testing with Ampere app and with UCH20 I get 1500 mA charhing, UCH12 I get 2060 mA and third party charger also 2060 mA. This was with battery care protection DISABLED.
This UCH12 however is acting weird and makes my touchscreen go crazy. I will not be using it anymore.

Hello maaakn
