Hi !
I just received my Nexus 6, and I saw that, when I reach 100%, Qi charging stop.
I charge my phone at night, and I don't think that going to 99% then 100%, and then 99%, 100%... during 8 hours is good for the battery.
On my Nexus 5, the phone was at 100% and said "charged" all the night.
Is there a way to "Qi charged" like the N5 ?
If no, will this be possible one day ? (Is it software or hardware ?)
Thank you !
IDK?

That's a good question, mine does it as well. Luckily my charger beebs to inform me, so I can remove phone?.
@op - what it is doing is trickle charging. The N5 did the same too
I'm using the samsung Qi wireless charging and my phone charges fine. the little light on the charging station blinks when charging and it goes solid when 100% is reached.
I wouldn't worry about that. The Qi charging is very gentle and you will start the day full up.

Well that's strange...
I got a Energizer Dual, and when my N5 reaches 100%, The 100% are solid, while with my N6, the charger Qi stop, then charge, then stop... during all the night...

I know that. I just want to know if it's bad or not for the battery to let the phone charge and discharge all the night ?
I am using the aukey luna. Once the phone gets to 100% it stops charging completely. I wake up between 94 and 96 percent usually -_-
I frequently leave mine on Qi charge all night and I am not worried about damage. If you are then you could get one of those on/off timers and set it to power up your ac adapter say 3 hours before you normally wake up :good:

There is no worry about the battery but there is one other problem I found.
I use wireless chargers everywhere, car, house, office, and unless I set my screen to turn off after just 30 seconds, it will not shut off when the charge is close to or at 100%.
The difference this time is that not only does the phone trickle charge instead of just staying charging like the Nexus 5 does, it also wakes the screen and resets the screen off timer. Unless you push power off before putting it in the charger with 100% battery the screen will never turn off.
This brings up issues with screen burn. So if you forget it may stay awake on a single image for a long time.

Not true. Both the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 5 will stay charging on the wireless charger just as if they were plugged in. Nexus 6 WILL stop charging for just over 30 seconds before starting to charge again.

Weird - my N5 and N6 both will charge up to 100% and stop charging till the battery drops to 98% or so (that usually takes over 4 hours at night) - then, they charge up again to 100%. (they definitely don't start recharging in 30 seconds)

I'm not sure why that would make any difference but I have several. The original half sphere nexus, the magnetic nexus 5, a couple Panasonic with movable coil, the flat puck style original nexus and a car charger. All of them keep charging without disruption even if the device is at 100% except the Nexus 6.

When the battery reaches 100%, it isn't going to be charged anymore till the battery level drops. The DT900 has a small LED indicator on it that turns off when it isn't actively charging, and that's how I know that my phone has reached 100%. I haven't used the other chargers that you have listed, but I have the DT-910 as well and that behaves in a similar manner (like the DT-900)

Your phone battery keeps charging after it hits 100%? (I assume your battery never indicates that it goes past 100% charge) Or does your charger indicates that it is attempting to charge the battery after it hits 100%?

I'm not sure how the algorithm works but I'm sure it keeps the phone operational while the battery is being kept at 100% without actually overcharging it.
All I can tell you is that when My N4 or N5 reaches 100% the lightning bolt in the battery status never goes away. It is as if it was plugged in via the USB or AC.
The N6 is the first phone I owned that actually stops charging at 100% on wireless chargers. The lightning bolt goes away and the phone waits until the charge drops a bit before connecting again (the lightning bolt shows up). Again, only on the wireless charger because when plugged in it acts the same as the other two.

Yeah my G3 (F460S) always stayed at 100% when it was done. The Nexus 6 will dip to 96-98% before charging again. I think this a bug because all other qi enabled phones and tablets I've had don't do that.
My Nexus 6 does not resume charging whatsoever after it has reached 100%. I wake up consistently between 94 and 96%. Using the aukey luna.

Anyone else having a similar problem or know of a way to fix it?
It takes a *while* to charge. Mine just hit 60%.
We shall see, been charging all day... anytime i take it off charging drops to 40ish%
Im using battstatt and it drops by 10 percent.....90.80.70 im gonna let thr battery die completely before charging and see if it changes

OK, I just saw this in another thread too... mine has maxed at 60%. Gonna le it rest, shut it off over night and put it on another charger. See what everyone says tomorrow!
Seriously guys, charge it from an outlet. It charges *really slowly* through USB.
anyone else go through the initial charge, recharge and have it at 10% 9 hrs later?

10 hours total on 4G? That's not terrible.
Charge via USB that is connected to your PC takes forever...but it does charge.
But if you unplug it and charge via the power adapter, it is much faster.
i charged mine via usb and the wall socket, wouldn't go past 50%.
I went to bed and plugged it in to teh wall charger (charge for ~7 hours), checked when i woke up, 50%
went to the verizon store and they gave me a new battery (started at 50%). plugged the phone in 2/3 hours ago, im still at 50%
my dad mentioned it could be a bad fuel gauge chip (he works at TI)
So for whatever reason, you have to use the charger that came in the box. I've had the same problem, but it was because I was using chargers from older Moto phones and HTC phones. Now that I'm using the actual Bionic charger, it's charging fast like it should.
Silly, but it apparently is the case.
I bought a wall charger that you take the battery out of the phone and charge.takes 2 hours with xtra battery 15 bucks mobiletech

From what I've read about newer handsets, the phone needs some time to figure out know how to convert raw readings into percentage of capacity. I believe, the phone figures out how much charge a battery has based on the voltage. And, I don't think the relationship is linear.
My battery seemed to be horrible the first day. Today, I've gone through 30% after 5 hours, with the screen being on for 35 minutes and wifi connected for just under two hours. I don't know if the battery is "breaking in" or the phone is reading the level differently, but things are looking better.
Hello
Bit of random one but can I charge my nexus 6 with a normal charger say my old Samsung s4 charger?
Don't want to damage my battery or phone but can't see why it would but would rather check.
I'm guessing it will just take longer to charge?

sure, you can use any compatible charger. but to warn you, most normal phone chargers will just take MUCH longer to charge the n6.
Yea no worries on the time. Thinking slower charge over night might be better than leaving it plugged in fully charged for longer. Plus I'm a believer about running battery flat for the first few charges and only have a normal charger at work which is when it will run out next lol

1) You *cannot* run the battery flat. The battery chip WILL shut you down when the voltage drops below a certain threshold.
2) Li-ion batteries DO NOT do well with being deep cycled. The lower you let it drop, the shorter the battery life. This is one of the reasons why they shut you down before it goes flat.
3) The battery has to have a minimum voltage in order to power the circuit that controls charging. Yes, if the battery level drops too low, YOU CAN'T EVEN RECHARGE IT.
It is better for the battery to charge slowly, and to top up frequently.
I'm using the "fast charger" that comes with the phone, but it seem to charge slower than I predicted. It says 1 hour until full charge when they phone is at 55%.
Is this right?
did you use the cable that come with the phone?
not all microusb cable can do fast charge.

Yes. I'm using everthing that comes with it.
The next question is.... were you messing with the phone while it gave you that estimated 1 hour left to fully charged? If you have the screen on and doing a lot of crap with it, of course it will take longer (this may be obvious to some, I'm not trying to insult you if you didn't know this, just stating the fact)
My experience with it went like this yesterday - note that I haven't even unpacked the factory charger, was using the Motorola Turbo Charger for this "experiment"
0% (phone died over night off charger to make this test)
30 mins on Turbo Charger - 45%
1 hour on Turbo Charger - 85%
Had to take it off to go to work, but those are some great numbers for a charger not necessarily designed for this phone, but the device was in Fast Charging mode the whole time, of course, so it was comparative
Is there some way to turn on fast charge? Because 6hours to fully charge or even charge a lot I don't have.

Lol I plugged into the the stock charger from the box and it said 6hrs to charge (from 0) switched outlet just incase that outlet was wonky but same result. The I said screw it and just figured I use to wireless charger so at least the phone would be near me, low and behold it says 3hrs (from 0). So apparently wireless is the way to go.

You must have had something else going on with the phone for it to say 6 hours on the factory charger....... I don't remember what mine said because I plugged it in, powered it on, and started watching the clock in the kitchen, turning on the phone screen only to check battery levels at those specific intervals I stated! I didn't even touch the device to start anything when I started this experiment, so it wasn't running any apps other than Android system level stuff, but no, wireless definitely isn't going to be faster, despite what the estimated timer said on the phone!

Well it's charging super quick compared to that factory charger. On the factory charger (plugged in right after phone died) went from 0 to 5 percent in about 25 minutes. on the wireless charger right now its gone from 5 to 16 in under 20 minutes. more than twice as fast.
Aslo, I am using the new Samsung wireless charger that is supposed to support fast charging.
**EDIT**
It charges even faster if I plug it directly into the cable for the wireless charger. Now it says 1hr29mn instead of 2hrs.

Make sure the cable is plugged all the way in to the charging brick. If it's not plugged in all the way, even a few mm, it will charge much slower.

Mine too, used tenergy q.c, the led will turn green if plugged to device with q.c 2.0 support. If your charger doesn't have led indicator, you can test it while your device in low battery (below 15%), it will charge your device very fast compare to non-q.c.

Meaning it will only trigger QC if device is below 15%?
Mine doesn't have led but I let the motox run to 0% and charged it while off, it charged to 60% in 35 mins.
But previously tried charging while On and it was normal charging. I'm only not sure whether it was under or over 15%

The lower the battery the faster the charge, as you approach a full battery the charger will slow down so as not to damage the battery.
I have a QC 2.0 charger made by Aukey in my car and it charges the phone from 30% to full or almost full during my 30-45 minute commute home.
There is no notification that pops up on the phone and my particular charger doesn't have any lights on it but the rate is very fast and a noticeable difference from my old charger.
The phone will get a little warm on a QC charger but I have it mounted over my AC vent in the car so that handles that concern.

According to Motorola, the Turbo Charger does it's thing from 0% to 78%. Past that, it charges at regular speed in order to produce less heat to avoid damaging the battery. The Quick Charge works with the phone turned on and off, but when it's off it charges faster because there is almost no discharge, whilst when the phone is turned on the discharge is considerably higher. :highfive:

I have two QC 2.0 charges, one Aukey and one Tronsmart. In my tests, my Moto X always juice 9v from the charger, only the current charge, something I have noticed, is when charging and using the phone, don't make the charging current goes down. 15 min of charge give me 30%+

I just got a Quick Charge 2.0 certified charger made by Tronsmart, the WC1Q. I plugged it into my phone but there seems to be no notification for fast, quick or turbo charging. Is this how this phone works because I tried it on someone's Note 5 and it did display Turbo charging when the adapter was plugged in.
The charger itself seems of average build quality and it has 'made in china' written on it. But since it did show up as a turbo charger on the Note 5 I want to figure out a way to be sure the charger is fine and that the Moto X 2014 just doesn't show any specific quick charge notification.

I got it from Allmytech as well. So that eliminates the charger being a fake. Got it in a white box as well. (I do doubt if this is a recertified product or first copy or something). In amy case, it must be Marshmallow that supports the quick charge notification unless anyone else can confirm this. Thanks once again for your help.
(I'm still working my way to a low battery so that I can try charging the phone and see how quick it charges even without the notification)
So my phone finally discharged down to 16% and I started charging it using the Tronsmart 1 Port Quick Charge 2.0 Adapter.
The phone charged to 100% completely in a total of 1 hour and 30 minutes. I used it a bit during charging but most of the time it was left on just sitting there with 3G and wifi disabled. As fast charging works it did turbo charge the first 60% really fast. In half an hour it was up at 61% and in 15 minutes it came up to about ~32%. I will try this again tomorrow morning when my battery should be drained, it seems like ever since I got the charger the battery life has gotten better

Mine charges in roughly the same time, though I never payed much attention to the charging time. But it does gets heated, though not alarming hot, but I can feel the difference.
I bought my XT1097 here in Brazil July 2015 and it came with Motorola Turbo Charger and I got a 2nd charger, the same in the question: Tronsmart QC2.0 from Aliexpress and it works as well. I'm at MM 6.0.
To be sure, try to download some apps that show the actual charging current, like AMPERE (link here).
As you may already know, when your battery is low, the QuickCharge puts a lot of juice really fast and it slowly reduces the speed when battery is getting full. Under 40% of battery is normal the ampere app to show about 2300mAh. It qualifies that QC2.0 is working fine!
That's it! I hope you have understood me... sorry about my english!
So I've been using the charger when I need a quick charge in the morning before I head out to work and its working great. Does heat up when it feels like it but again not 'alarmingly hot'. I checked the current using the Ampere app and it's pumping the correct amount i.e. ~2000ma. The charger checks out, it's working great. 60% battery in 30 mins as it should. And there is no "Quick Charge" notification on Lollipop for the XT1097.
Nice then!
It should be a Lollipop "Issue" cause in Marshmallow the TurboPower notification pops up right after you plug the cord!
