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.

Hello guys,
I lost yesterday my charger, and i can't find any charger seller.
I am not going to import a new charger yet, in the meanwhile a friend who has a moto x too told me that the Moto X has a power of
5v and 1150 mAh
Charging with original cable to a PC via usb is too slow
i have an Alcatel (5V - 400mA)
PS Vita Charger ( 5V - 1500 mA)
I tried to investigate by my own, but the more i learn i get more confused..
Which one should i use to charge my Moto X?
Alcatel or Vita?
Thanks in advance

They don't even export to South America, i will end paying $100 bucks if i use a miami pobox, il wait until motorola local store brings original chargers.
Thanks but as i said, i can't buy/import a new charger at this moment only have:
- Alcatel charger (5V - 400mA with it's own microusb cable)
- PS Vita Charger ( 5V - 1500 mA with the original cable)
Yet i am afraid to damage my cellphone or it's battery.

A USB/USB2.0 port will output 5V 500mA (and in some cases 550mA).
The less current the charger outputs, the slower it will charge the phone, which is why charging via cable to USB port on PC is so slow. If the phone really needs 1000 or 1150mA to charge, then using a 500-500mA charger might not even be able to maintain the current battery level.
In most cases, the output rating on the charger is the voltage (V) and max current (mA) the adapter can supply.
While you must match the Voltage and do NOT exceed the rated Voltage of the original charger, usually it is acceptable to use a higher current charger as the phones will draw as much current as they need without exceeding the max output of the charger.
I charged phones and headsets that shipped with 550mA chargers using 750, 850 and even 1000mA chargers just fine. And I use a 1000mA(1A) and 850mA chargers to charge my X at the moment.
So you should be able to charge via the PS Vita charger.
as long as the charger can supply enough amps it will charge the phone fine or at a slower rate.
amps are like the flowrate of a pipe. if you have a charger with a lower amp rating than the phone can take in, it will just atke in less. if your charger is more than the max, the phone will just take the max it can and there will be no harm.
if you watn to be sure a charger can charge your phone at its top speed just buy one for an ipad or a tablet as they are usuall over 1AMP and up to 2AMP.
i dont think the moto x even draws the full 1150ma, just the charger itcomes with has 2 USB ports so its a heavier duty phone charger
I'm using a galaxy s4 2amp charger and it works wonderfully. Fastest OEM amperage and a nice long USB cable.

My moto x shows whether it's charging on A/C or USB. There was a patch for my Galaxy Nexus phone that always kept the phone in A/C charge mode so that it would charge at the maximum power the charger would provide.
Is there a patch or is there a way to set the moto x to always assume A/C charge so it charges as rapidly as possible?

the typical USB 2.0 power output is 500mA. moto ships these phones with a 2.1A power brick (for rapid charging). you'll never get the same charge rate off of a USB 2.0 port that you will from a brick.
USB 3.1 appears to have better capability, but good luck finding a computer with that standard.

You must have gotten a different charger, because the one that came with my Moto X was a 1.1 A charger.
I also got a 1.1 charger with 2 ports.

Mine is also only 1.1. It actually only charges at about 800mAh in my testings, though.

You're probably right. I didn't have mine in front of me when I checked it.
I understand that it has the correct chipset inside the phone but does anyone know if this phone is supported by the quick charging? I sold my wife on the technology but now I have no idea if it will actually work?
I don't think it supports the new Qualcom Quick Charge standard, that said, just get a 2 Amp charger and it will charge very fast. Charging from a USB 2 port or a 500 mA charger and it will take forever. I use a Samsung tablet charger and get <1.5 hours to full charge.
Qualcom 801 & above support Quick Charge, G only has a 400

I made a conversation with Motorola staff, he has confirmed about the quick charge 2.0, moto g support it:
[07:20:32 AM] Hi, my name is Wilson. How may I help you?
[07:20:43 AM] Wilson: Good Morning!
[07:21:17 AM] khoa: hi, i just want to ask about the quick charge 2.0 tech
[07:21:34 AM] khoa: does the moto g 2013 support that?
[07:22:36 AM] Wilson: Absolutely! This device is compatible with any USB port on the Moto G versions.
[07:24:35 AM] Wilson: Hi I noticed you have been away from the chat session for more than 2 minutes. I’ll stay here until the next minute so I can continue to help you with your concern.
[07:25:22 AM] khoa: but on the internet they say that moto g doesn't support quick charge 2.0
[07:26:10 AM] khoa: qualcomm also doesn't list moto g in those devices that support quick charge 2.0
[07:28:11 AM] Wilson: I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. Actually this device will support All of the Moto versions since last year. You will be able to use this charger in the Moto G.
[07:28:54 AM] khoa: ok, thank you

This means that the charger will charge the phone, not that it will charge it quickly.

AFAIK, even if a phone is quick charge capable, you need a charger that's capable of charging that fast.
Now as per the thread here, quick charge is compatible with this moto g, hence the need for quick charger 2.0

yes it will charge the phone,a usb does that also, and we too want to charge it ,but hammering heads to find out the speed.
But it is quite logical that results will not be that great as if they were so ,then in moto g feature list we would have seen quick charge.
even we all want to try as if charging time gets a hour short then it may worth it

is exactly what i said -.- btw i googled a bit and found this:

i think that this means that moto g has the capability, just like the moto x 2014 (snapdragon 801 and officially advertised by motorola), but seems it may not be as fast as snapdragon 801 or 805.
Does anyone has a "Quick charger"? so we can know if the Moto G 2014 has o has not this feature.

So as your facts say, moto g will take approx 2x time to full charge as of moto x 2014 ,bt g has 2070 mAh battery that is less than x's,
In a stroke we may be benefited from quick charge 2.0 too but with underachievements of Moto X capabilities
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.
If anybody tried the Moto G with the ipad charger please let me know!
Thanks

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,
So I've been using the Moto G for over a year now, and the attery is starting to give less and less usage per charge. Naturally, this demands faster charging speeds. I've read online that the Moto G3's in-box charger is very slow (now, no plug came with my Moto G3, just a USB cable). I've always used the plug from the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 (my previous phone), which is very good, but I'm wondering if my in-box cable is slowing down the charge coming to my phone, as the phone can take up to 2A from my power bank, but I believe only 1A from the cable.
Is this the problem?
Thanks.
I'd say the lead, if not faulty, makes no difference to the charge rate. But it's easy enough to use another and compare charge times.
If your G is still working fine in all aspects you may think of buying a new battery. If you do, make sure it's genuine OEM, there's tons of cheap crap that you should steer clear of.
I use different usb cables in different rooms to charge my Moto G 2015 Osprey and best charging speed is with the usb cable that came with mobile.. You need to try a different charger plug . also make sure cablke is not bent or broken or demaged.
If Battery is starting to give less and less usage per charge then it is not a charger issue it is a bettery issue. You need to calliberate your battery. Let battery go down to 1% and then fully charge without any interuption . This make improve it slightly .
