Does anyone know of a fast charge either kernel or app that works with the Moto X 4.4 VZW update? I just got it yesterday, and miss that feature from my Galaxy Nexus.
(I searched, but couldn't find anything...though I might have over looked it)
4.4 has yet to be rooted on the Moto X, aside from jcase's 4.4 ATT Leak, but he doesn't plan on releasing that according to his Twitter account.

don't even know what fast charge kernel you mean. but the moto x charges very quickly. I think they even called it some fast charge thing or another. the factory charge that comes with it is the fast charge part i think. i use it on other devices that now charge faster. I don't think you will be disappointed with how fast it charges the phone using the sfactory charger. but that might not be what you are talking about at all lol beacuse like i said earlier, i got know idea what a fast charge kernel might be.

The fast charge feature I'm discussing is a workaround the Galaxy Nexus had with some kernels that allowed it to pull higher power through things like USB ports on laptops, car chargers, etc. So instead of charging at the slower USB 2.0 rate, it drew power at almost an AC voltage rate.

interesting, sounds like root and perhaps a unlocked BL would be necessary.
This will probably never happen. For starters, there aren't any custom kernels available for the MotoX.
Two, I'm 85% sure that Fast Charge is built into the CPU--at the hardware level. I know the HTC One has it enabled on the stock kernel. I'm certain that the MotoX has is simply because when I put my GNexus on this charger I have with Fast Charge disabled, it would say it was charging via USB; when Fast Charge was enabled, it would say it's charging via AC. When I put my MotoX on the same charger, it says it is charging via AC.
Hope that helped.

Thanks! It did - a lot! I think I noticed that as well, but was unsure if it was just the cable or what - had it plugged in the other night and just happened to pull up the battery screen, and it said AC using the same charger my GNex would say was USB!
So glad I decided to stop just lurking and ask!
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.

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.

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

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
Hi guys!
I recently switched from a Samsung galaxy s5 to a nexus 6. It's been more than great, really. Why did I ever buy galaxy phones?!
I'm confused over quick charge 2.0 and compatibility with other chargers and couldn't find any proper information on the subject.
At the moment I own:
- Aukey 5-port 35W Charger
- Tecknet 6-port 50W Charger
- Anker Astro E5 15000mAh battery bank with 2A + 1A ports
- Large assortment of other single port chargers @ 2-2.4A from Samsung, ASUS, and several aftermarket brands.
All of these chargers, and the battery, delivered (tested with the Ampere app and tons of different cables) ~2A to the galaxy but only deliver ~1A to the nexus 6. The Motorola turbo charger obviously works as intended. Now my questions:
- Does quick charge 2.0 limit any non compatible chargers to 1 amp?
- Is there a way to mod chargers to at least get back 2A charging?
- Worst case, does anyone have experience with a recommendable battery bank and multi port chargers that support quick charge 2.0?
Thanks!

Why would you need options relating to change charge speeds? Qualcomm quick charger works on any kernel, if you're talking about USB fast charging, it's already enabled in Franco kernel.
There isn't a need to switch to other kernels.

@zephiK You misunderstood my question. The problem I'm looking to solve is the slow charge rate from the chargers in the original post.
To add to that. My macbook also charged my old galaxy phone @ 2amps but with my n6 only does 500mA.
Nothing wrong with the turbo charger

Laptop USB ports at limited to 500mah output unless its a dedicated charging port with USB 3.0 then It can push 1.6A so I don't see how that's possible to charge at 2A from a laptop.
@Pilz this is irrelevant. My 2014 macbook pro charges my old phone much faster than the nexus 6.
Refer to the original post for the topic at hand
Quickcharge 2.0 devices uses the data pin on usb to determine if the charger connected is a quickcharge 2.0 charger. The devices you are using do not have this capability so they charge slower. I do not think this can be changed kernel or phone side.
Thanks! I guess I'll have to replace the chargers/battery

I could be wrong S5 I looked up uses usb3.0 right? Does your macbook have usb3.0? If so then the usb 3.0 port can supply more current when detected being a usb3.0 device by your computer and ever more so it is possible for the mac to output a little more current. Can you plug in the S5 then open system profiler to look at USB device tree to see current being delivered? The nexus 6 only using usb2.0 would not get the same treatment by the comp and only receive the max standard of .5 A.
There are many details about the actual max current that can be supplied by the computer's ubs port that I don't know when they are applicable I've just stated reading so I'm not sure why you can get 2.0 A on your S5 and not less, since there are standards that set the max current. Even more complicated is that under certain conditions macs have their own heirarchy of supplying more current to some devices if they "say they need" more current and even then there are limitations. So again I'm not sure what is at play exactly, that determines why the S5 gets more than usual. The .5A is normal for current output on USB 2.0 in the nexus6.
I actually got this in the mail yesterday, and the wall chargers works great...Havent have a chance to test out the car one though!

That doesn't make sense which is why I went into some detail about laptop or any computers USB ports. I unfortunately had a MB Pro and hated it, and it never charged any of my phone a at 2A including my wife's old S5. I don't have it anymore so I can't test it again to verify. The person I quoted below explained it a little better than I did.

It is technically incorrect for the phone to accept more than 1 amp on a 5v charger. The quick charge *protocol* negotiates a non-standard charge voltage (up to 12 volts!!!). Quick charge is actually BAD FOR YOUR BATTERY! The higher the current, the greater the temperature. The greater the temperature, the lower the battery life.
Unless you *need* it to charge that fast in an emergency, don't.
I've never even plugged in the charger that came with mine, and I don't intend to.

I've used QC 2.0 since I bought my phone during long days and my battery life is just fine. My battery is cooler during QC than when using qi charging so I disagree. Generally speaking you're correct, however the battery would need to get hot and stay hot which is doesn't. QC 2.0 tapers off the voltage and current overtime to a more "normal" amount. Your argument is an old and doesn't always pertain unless your phone is constantly hot.
You're battery degrades overtime anyway and any heat could speed that up. I used to live in AZ where it gets to 120+[°F] in the summer which is hotter than my battery ever gets even using QC from 1% battery. Quick charging won't hurt your battery any more than normally charging it will. There is a cut off for the temperature it will let your battery get before it drops voltage or amperage which will work whether the what is from charging or the environment you are in. As I stated above qi charging will make your battery heat up more (in my case it does) I will post screenshots to back that up if you would like.
Lastly no one is expecting a battery to last 1-2 years without losing capacity so why worry about it? Your phone is warrantied for at least 1 year (I have moto care on top of the regular warranty) which will cover any battery issues. There's no need to panic or make an issue out of nothing.
Now can we please let this argument die? I keep seeing it and its getting rather old. Even if it does (which I'm not saying it does) degrade slightly faster its not a big deal for the aforementioned reasons. Let's get back on topic here people
Does the LG G4 have quick charging?
I've heard that the LG G4 has quick charging capabilities, but I haven't been able to get fast charging like on my note 4 so far. I'm using an OEM Samsung Note 4 Fast Charger (which activates fast charge on Note 4). Time from near empty to full is around 1:50 for me

I bought 3rd party Quick Charge 2.0 adapter, while I haven't really timed the charging time, but it is definitely faster. I will try to time it next time, but heard that it should take about 1h and 40 min.
Yes it does. The charger that comes with the LG G4 is a standard charger though.
I purchased the Anker 18W quick charger and it charges my G4 substantially faster than the stock charger which I used for a few days prior to receiving the Anker. I haven't documented the charging times, although the difference is very noticeable. I'm using the stock USB cable because it is longer and I like the nubs which aid in inserting the plug in the proper direction.

Samsung Fast Charger is not the same as Qualcomm Quick Charge.
Yes it supports qualcomms quick charge abilities. But many reviews online show it's slightly slower than Samsungs fast charge and it can be very picky on adapter used.
The G4 does have quick charge capabilities. It is very quick to charge, however if you don't use the stock charger it most Lilley won't quick charge. However I have noticed with updates the range of adapters it accepts has increased.
Hope that helps.

As far as I know, the stock charger which comes with the LG G4 is not Quick Charge 2.0 capable, and won't utilize the LG G4 quick charge 2.0 capability. You need to purchase a Quick Charge 2.0 charger.

Every article back in May stated that the LG G4 didn't come with a quick charge 2.0 charger, including my purchase back in July. Every post I've read on xda, others have had to purchase a quick charge 2.0 charger to take advantage of the LG G4's quick charge capability. If you have one, it would appear that current LG G4's are coming with one stock in the box, if you got yours recently. Others can confirm whether this is the case.

Or maybe the user that claims to have stock quick charger in the box, can show us a picture with specs info that is printed on the AC Adapter.
The stock charger I got was 1.8mah output max. Using battery monitor widget, the best utility for this type of thing, it would max out at 1800mah. Not bad. Full charge in about 1:45.
I purchased a tronsmart quick charger, and the max charging amperage measures 2100mah. Full charge in about 1 hour. Good times.
The charger that came with mine is 1.8mAh. QC2 is 2.0mAh. Also, QC2 has to be enabled in the kernel, which to the best of my knowledge, it is not.
That said, a QC2 2.0mAh ac adapter does speed up charging some, but not at the speed s of true QC2.
Since the H811 is one of the few variants with an unlockable bootloader, I had hoped kernel dev would help us out. :\

Wonder if they changed it in the 81110N update. In the past the apps I checked with told me it was not. Checking.
Also, please clarify what in that screen shot confirms QC2.0? Thanks

Cool. I think they must have enabled it in 81110n. In 81110H I would get a warning from the app that my kernel qas not qc 2.0 enabled. I think it was with Ampere. I no longer see that message. I have the Aukey qc 2.0 block.
Of course it is pretty much a moot point for me now. I got into Wireless charging with a Yootech tag and charging puck

How fast do they charge...i have been wanting to get a wireless charger since they started making phones with the capabilities...but i always hear its a very slow charge

I've never really timed it but it is not bad at all. And the convenience of just plopping the phone on a puck is so nice compared to screwing with the micro-usb plug. Wish we had usb-c.
With wireless charging, I was able to get ~800mah. So far less than wired charging for obvious reasons, but not bad.
maH are far more useful a measurement. But it does taper down as % battery full increases.
Hello,
Has anyone used a Quick Charge portable battery pack before? You know how when you plug it in to the wall or outlet it will say "fast charging", well I don't get that with quick charge.
Is this normal or should I be panicking?
Thanks
Which model do you have? I have the 15,000mah PB-T3 model & it fast charges my phone fine now. The battery pack itself even supports quick charge so the battery pack will charge at 9V with the Samsung adaptive fast charger or 12V with a certified QC 2.0 charger.
I say "now" cause the first one I received melted & died while charging it.
Have you tried another quality cable?

Also. You need to make sure your cable is plugged into the correct port. I am assuming you have one with two ports, either way if you do have the two ports only one of them is QC 2.0 enabled.
Mine doesn't say, but charges quick -

I was looking at the 10000mah one, the PB-T4 which is 6.5 x 0.6 x 2.9 inches in size.
I cant find anywhere the dimensions of the PB-T3, is there any way you could measure it?

The dimensions listed on Amazon & most other vendors is wrong. The dimensions you gave that's listed for the PB-T4 on Amazon is the size of my PB-T3. Before purchasing I was looking for dimensions also & in another thread someone measured the PB-T4 to be 6.25 x 2.5 x .75 which makes sense cause the PB-T4 looks narrower & thicker than the PB-T3.
I store mine in a Maxpedition TC-2 pouch.

Wow, so you are saying you can fully confirm the PB-T3 is exactly 6.5 x 0.6 x 2.9 inches?
If thats the case then I'm going to buy it tomorrow.
Thanks!

Yes, mine measures 6-1/2 x 2-7/8 x 5/8.

Perfect. That seems like the best all around battery pack.
Heck, it's thicker but the footprint isnt much bigger than the LG V10 (or the Note 5 for that matter) itself.
I can carry the phone and batterypack together in my front jeans pocket easy.
Thanks again!
No problem. Yup, that's what I was worried about, being too big but as you said it's not much bigger than my N5 or the V10.
I was unlucky & the first one I got melted during it's first charge (the battery pack, not while charging my phone) so just to be safe keep an eye out on how hot it gets on your first charge. I liked this one the most out of all the others I was looking at so I took a chance with a replacement. Haven't had one problem with the one I have now.
What I like about is the most is it also supports QC2.0 fast charging & at 12v (but you'll need a QC2.0 charger to charge it at 12v & not an OEM that's only 9v max) so it's not just the output that is fast charging.
EDIT: Oh looks like I already mentioned the fast charging input in this thread.

You helped me a lot on this, thanks.
Check it out, I've got my shopping cart loaded up. That Tronsmart 54W, 5 port charger does the QC2.0 12V so I'm hoping it will charge up the Batterypack nicely
BTW, for anyone interested this is another nice looking single port charger also that I want but am holding off on: http://amzn.to/21GlCBh
Thanks again :good:

Nice. That charger should do just fine. I like the Tronsmart stuff. I charge mine with the 3 port Tronsmart.

Yeah, I was looking at that 3-port you have. Interesting that it is such high wattage, at 42W when the 5 port is only 54W. I'm wondering if the 3-Port has faster charging or something but all the QC2.0 port specs seem to be the same.
You might have seen, I'm planning to get this one for the car: http://amzn.to/1OOlcSp
Try this one. At least, you can use this in the near future because of type-c port. I'm definitely satisfied with this product.

Need help with the aukey power bank
Hey i read you've been using the aukey charger.
I an looking to buy yhe same but spectical about the performance.
Does the power bank itself charge using fast charging? If so which charger you use.
How long does it take for the power bank to charge completely using the output of your charger.
Thanks
I purchased the Aukey 3.0 do to the fact that it work with both micro USB 2.0 & USB Type-C 3.0 compatible. (I won't have to buy another one next year! Lol) I have to say it's quite remarkable. Small enough to put in my pocket with phone connected using a small cable. I got from 55% to full in about 17 min. while screen was off. Takes a while to charge the unit itself (which is to be expected with 10,000 mAh) The unit itself can not be fast charged. It also will not fast charge a phone while it is being charged itself. Simply put, with a $20 price tag (now $30), you can't go wrong. Next time I use it, I'll get some screenshots & add to thread.
AUKEY 16000 mah charge time
Hi all,
Thanks for a help-full post. i bought a aukey 16000mah power bank.
When i recharge the device using my Asus charger (5v 2A & 9V 2A ) from
my phone the device does not show full charge indication. The light on
the power button flashes (Breathing effect) RED, GREEN and then
WHITE. It never goes to SOLID WHITE which would indicate 100% charge
even after plugging it in for 9-12 hours.
I have also used a Aukey 10000mah power bank and in 5-6 hours its
light status goes to SOLID WHITE.
Is this issue only with me or has anyone else faced the same? How long
should the device take to recharge itself with 5V 2A rated charger
which is also mentioned on the device's INPUT rating.
Also would like to know if the light ever goes to SOLID WHITE with other users.
Thanks
Wish one of these codes worked on the 20000mah.

You should avoid Fast Charge or anything like that. It's extremely bad for lithium polymer to be "Fast Charged" the technical behind it is look at your power brick. Anything over 5v charging is to much and will shorten the battery life. I've seen 5.3 and 9.0. I use a 4.8v 2A charger on all my devices. The lithium polymer gets forced above it's operating voltage of 3.7 to 4.1v.
