I just bought this phone from wind (called optimus 2x but is LG-p999) and when i plug in the my phone to the wall charger, it does this wierd whistling noise that is kinda annoying. When i charged it with the computer there isnt that noise so i know its the wall charger. Does this happen to anyone else and is there anyway to fix it?
lol no, somethingg has got to be wrong

The one thing i didnt want to hear I guess i should return it.
Edit: Also, is charging faster with the wall charger or is it the same thing with PC?
Wall charger is faster, 1000mah as opposed to 500mah.
Definitely faulty though. Any old USB charger will do to tide you over.

I don't have any usb chargers, just the phone's. Also do you guys think it could damage the phone in anyway?
I wouldn't have thought so, noisy transformers aren't exactly uncommon, but they are annoying.
i wouldnt worry mine does this with no ill issues. A few of my chargers over the years have also done it. Some people are just more suseptable to noise than others lol.
My charger is whistling as well. But I wouldn't be too worried about it...
mine whistles when its almost full. like 90%
It's a Characteristic of Switched Mode power supplies
All of my later Nokia chargers did it, And My HTC
It can be annoying but nothing to worry about
Mine makes a weird clicking noise.. When it's been charging for a while (the charger, not the phone), it even continues after I pull it out of the wall socket!
the lg charger is ****, get an iphone charger from ebay or dealextreme, at least thats what i did
mine whilsted, but when i hit it few times, now it doesent, it also seems it charging better now...i'm not kidding...
Keep an eye on it though. Usually the difference between a piece of equipment that is exhibiting high performance and one that is about to explode, is slight.
I've had the Droid 3 for about 10 days now, and I've been encountering an intermittent problem with charging the phone.
Last night, I plugged in my phone so that it would charge overnight. I made sure that the connections to both the phone and the outlet were firm, and upon plugging it in, my phone's battery icon and lock screen both indicated that it was charging. However, when I woke up this morning, I discovered that the battery had actually continued to discharge overnight. Despite this, the battery icon and lock screen both continued to say that the battery was charging.
I've run into this problem three times this past week. It's entirely possible that I just have a defective device, but I wanted to check and make sure that nobody else was experiencing this issue before taking it back to Verizon.
Check the task manager for programs using lots of cpu. I've found that using google maps nav in the car dock while charging still in fact uses more power than it could charge. Your issue is with the screen off though so check for background apps.

I have had this problem 2 times and I have had the phone for about the same time. I plugged it in at like 40% watched a movie screen never came on till the movie was over I looked at my screen and the battery was at 11%. I was thinking maybe just a bad connection untill I looked at the notification bar and it said it was charging!
I just got my Droid 3 yesterday and last night, the first night of use, it did the same thing. Even if I go into battery usage and look at the graph it'll say charging but the power level will be going down. Very frustrating.
A Verizon rep I spoke with recommended trying a different charger. Sounds reasonable enough, so I'll give that a shot and post back after a few nights of use.
What is the current rating of the chargers you guys are using? (i.e. 850 mA, 1 A, etc). A good rule of thumb is not use anything less than 1 A (1000 mA).
The Motorola-supplied charger is 850mA.

This sounds logical. I had this same problem two phones that happened to have a slide-out keyboard (Shift, G2) and the problem vanished when I used a different charger. I just read today that 100s of people were having this problem today in a news feed.
I was having the issue too, so I used a 2A charger that came with my Huawei tablet...no more issues! (Charge time is about 1.5 hours too!)

I'd be careful about using higher amperage chargers. Don't want to be burning out the charging circuitry. Not saying you will.. just be careful using a charger not designed specifically for the device.
Apparently the new Moto LiPo batteries have another level of overcharge protection. To be safe, I'm going to use an ohm-meter about once a week or so to check the internal contacts (a higher ohm rating would suggest damage).

That's not the one I have, I'm using the USB-output charger from the S7 SLIM, then the Moto supplied USB cable.
Well, it's been a few days, and I haven't experienced the problem since switching to a different charger. Granted, the problem was intermittent, so it's difficult to know for certain if the charger was in fact the issue, but I'm content with this solution.
I've been using my iPad's 5.1V 2.1A charger without issues for a few days. It charges the extended battery from 10% to full in a little over an hour.
That's the dual-core proc for ya. Wonder why the Xoom uses a proprietary charger? dual-core devices nom battery.

No? Dual core is more efficient, it shuts down one of the processors when it's not in use. Dual core means nothing about power efficiency. As a matter of fact, it can have an advantage. Each core uses less power, and combined, they can use less power than a similarly powerful chipset.
I've also run into some issues on my 5 day old Droid 3. It seems to be when disconnected from the charger. I have two regular Moto chargers for this, and tried a 1A HTC charger, which this thing will not charge from.
I tried using different micro USB cables, which didn't help, either. I was trying to move the phone around while charging, and seemed to encounter the issue. Either it's a connector issue for the mUSB, or the (especially short and stiff) charging cables have broken conductors inside, and we're getting a bad batch of cords.
Possibly the D3 has its own issue with charging, but I didn't have a problem until this morning. regular mUSB cords won't work for me at all, as I've tried all I have.
Given this issue, I'm wondering how widespread this is, and if it's something to take the phone back for. I took me a few hours (over 3) of waiting and fiddling with it, but it's at least charging now.
I had this issue to. I used a different charger and cord to charge my phone at night woke up the next day no charge. I went to work pluged in to my wall charger and still no charge. I did a factory reset thinking that might work but it did not. I was going to take it to a verizon store after work so on the way there I pluged in to my car charger an it started to charge so I skipped the store. When I got home I used a different cord and wall charger and it also worked. I did notice that when I plugged in the night before that a small little white light was lit up for a second in between the charging port and hdmi. I know there is a light there but never seen it light up before. So maybe that was behind all of this. Not had a problem sense.

The amperage you see stated PS units has no effect on your phone. That's not how many amps leaves the unit to charge your battery. That's how much the PS unit can handle as a draw. In reality the reason the stock ones are only 850 only means that the manufacture used spec parts for the PS unit. i would think that Motorola's minimum spec was 850 and so that's what the PS units manufacture used.
The higher the number means nothing other than you can bet the 1AMP one is going to out last the 850.
Of course the last statement is highly speculative because i have no idea what the amp rating for the phone is. But what i do know is that all the parts are made in china and you can bet they are not going to overbuild anything.
If the amp range is 675-832, which is the number I would expect then if the phone draws more than 850 for an extended period of time the units internal fuse could blow. Unless of course you purchased a third party unit that has an external fuse. Then you can jsut replace the fuse and not have to worry about going out to buy Chinese garbage. lolz
but then again i bet this Droid 3 is made in china, oh well. I like it anyway
So I have been doing a lot of looking and this is my first phone with Wireless/Qi charging. Here is what I found so far. What is everyones experience, favorites, and ones to avoid? Two of the main issues Ive seen are, how finicky is the charger on where you place the phone. And does it trickle charge. If it "turns off" at 100%, your phone will start to discharge and youll wake up at 90%.
LG-WCP-300 - seems a little small. Would love a slab type that I can just plop my phone down and hot worry it'll tip over because I put it too far to one side. It charges at 1.8 which is nice (I think per androidcentral, the power cord is 1.8, but the base drops it down to 1A, oh well)

Panasonic Qi Charging Pad QE-TM101-K - doesnt trickle charge. So when it gets to 100...it turns off, then when your phone gets to ~95% it turns back on and then on and then off...and so on...no good. Although the size and ability to put it ANYWHERE and know itll start charging it perfect.

I got the Nokia for my G2 based on all the reviews. No sweet spot needed so far. I just basically place the phone on the plate and it charges.
Went with the Nokia as well.Works fine.
I like the devices offered by TYLT - not only the QI charger due to its ability to serve as a table stand while charging the phone, but also the power plant and the USB connector cables are interesting. The design is nice, too. Has anyone recognized this brand and used their products?
Really like the Tylt Vu....been eyeing it forawhile, and may scoop one up.
I'm also interested in this: http://www.nokia.com/global/products/accessory/cr-200/ A little pricey but A LOT of functionality.
do you all charge your devices every night? all the old talk about not charging your device all the time so you don't "wear" out your battery. Is it actually better to have a charger that turns off and on? I liked the tylt charger too, thinking that or the nokia.

FYI - AT&T online has the Nokia charging plate for $24.50 (half off!) Free shipping but you need to pay tax (still a lot cheaper than elsewhere)

I have it and I'm very happy with it. Charges quickly despite specs and there is no "sweet spot." Just drop and charge. Also, I like the cable from the wall outlet to the base was longer than most so it sits nicely on my desk at work.

A couple of days ago I ordered a TYLT Vu off their website for $70 shipped. I will report my experience with it once it arrives.
Just picked up the LG one from Verizon. Works great with case on. USB cable and wall plug seems identical to what came with the phone.

Verizon is the only one.
Just pulled the trigger on the TYLT VU, liked the idea of having it upright a little. I think the LG charges faster but Ill be charging overnight so no biggie. FYI...Nordstrom is $100 but from TYLT is $70!
dt-900 is $25 @ AT&T's store... if you have a premium corporate discount, drops another 50%.. Just got 2 for $25 shipped
I picked this one up, but now i'm unsure because it says there is a 1A output, doesn't that mean it will say it's slow charging? Love the idea of being able to charge on the go.

Thanks. That looks pretty good. I might get one too.
About a week ago I used a match to singe the nylon that was fraying as it was bad and I was past the 2 week return policy from Verizon. Ever since then my wireless charging has not functioned properly. I had two different chargers. The first one was a Keedox stand and the second was the PowerBot
So I was using the keedox charger but after awhile it would just randomly disconnect and the phone would say detected wireless charger starting charge. I tried the Powerbot charger and it went all the way through no issues with the screen turning back on constantly. Well now the Powerbot is doing the same thing the first one did. I left it on the mat last night but when I woke up it was only at 50% and had stopped charging. I use an app called battery widget and it showed me around 60% it just stopped and starting discharging. I already returned the Keedox one assuming it was defective but now this leads me to think its a problem with the phone. Could the receiver coil in my phone be bad and causing issues with the wireless chargers?

I have the same problem with the Powerbot. I have a feeling it might be the rubber around the edge not letting the phone get close enough to the coil. it works perfectly to charge my Nexus 7 and Moto 360 though, so it might just be the Droid.
For the record. the Aukey Wirless Charging Station is by far the best charger for all my devices. Droid turbo works great in portrait or landscape

But is it possible exposure to alot of heat could have harmed the wireless charger to the point where it no longer functions? That was my other concern. Im not sure how the receiving coil is in the phone.

My phone won't charge on my PowerBot, but I have 2 Nokia chargers that work excellently with the Turbo. The Powerbot charger works fine with my Moto 360.
I believe the Nokia charges have 3 coils in them, so it is really easy to get a decent placement of the phone on the charger.
I think the powerbot is a single coil charger, and placement is really critical. I think I've been able to get the Turbo to charge before, but only after playing around forever with placement. The distance from the charger to the phone shouldn't be so sensitive that the rubber on the charger would keep it from charging.
sensor size
just my opinion, but compared to the last phone i had, I feel like the turbo has a very small sweet spot to actually charge clean.
still love the phone, it's awesome. The huge battery has had me slowly not being always worried about finding a charger all day. My battery ptsd is going away!
just my 2 cents..
Has anyone had a good experience w/the powerbot? I already put two on my Christmas list
Is it just finicky, or doesn't work at all?
Though if the Moto 360 charges ok on it I can still use it for that I suppose.

I keep one at work and it worked fine with my S3 (with receiver pad). The turbo needs to be o it 'just right' to work. I could live without the beep, but whatever.
I would buy another if I needed to ..
Is it normal that my turbo charger has noticeable electrical noise when charging?
It has some volume variation depending on the phones battery level or what other device i am charging with it.
Its at my nightstand and it bothers my while i want to sleep. It gets louder if i charge something that's not QC2.0 compatible.
I stopped using it at night because its loud , but i am not sure if its okay or it has some problem.
Anybody else with his charger making noise?
My other charger are completely silent(chromecast adapter, nexus 7 2013 charger, iphone 4 charger, sony bluetooth speaker charger)
Only the turbo charger makes noise and its louder than i am comfortable with.
No noise on any of my 3 Motorola Turbo Chargers. I would have it replaced by moto
My Note 2 and Nexus 6 chargers both make a sort of high-pitched whine when plugged in. Come to think of it the charger on my electric razor makes the same sound as well.
yup, mine makes the noise, Google results pointed me to a couple reddit users who experience the same, so there of a few of us out there.
ah, damn quality control.
or maybe its a high pitch noise that most people cant hear, but a few with hearing sensitivity that can pick it up. generally, the yoinger you are, the more sensitive you are to noise in the higher pitch range. and gradually the sensitivity goes away as you age.
Finally someone else is having this problem as well. I mean i wish we didn't but it's good to know that I am not the only one. My first original turbo charger was making that noise too so i called Motorola and they sent me another one but that one is making a noise also which makes believe that it's something with a phone.
You either have really good hearing or something is not right with the charger. It will make a high pitched noise but it should not be that loud.
Mine will occasionally "whine" but it doesn't always do it. I have 2 of the Motorola 'turbo' chargers and both of them do it. Its more of a rare occurrence and it doesn't bother me. I bought a different brand one off Amazon that's coming today and can provide up to 30W (I doubt the nexus 6 supports the 12v turbo 2 output but i bought it for future devices). Has anyone else noticed that battery monitors don't reflect the accurate voltage? Mine always shows ~4.1V it could just be my turbo chargers.
Same for me. Thought it was normal due to the extra power output.

One would expect that to be the case. However, I just found mine doing it (it woke me up this morning) and my phone is fully charged. It made no noise while the phone was charging; so either it's only doing it under low load or on the 5v circuit, or my charger degraded overnight, the first night it was in use (I just got the phone yesterday).
Contacting Moto about this for sure.
I can confirm this issue using the EU charger. I didn't notice it until yesterday evening. When my phone was at 100% the charger started making noticeable sounds.
Any feedback from MOTO yet?

As a refrigeration tech I deal with low voltage a lot. Buzzing from a low voltage transformer, which is what you're charger is, Is no good. That usually means the coil inside is overheating. Sounds more like a defective charger to me. I honestly wouldn't even plug that thing in.

This exact thing just started happening to me. I am just hoping that leaving it on the charger isn't a safety hazard (for me or the phone lol)
Also curious to hear Moto's stance on this.
I noticed this 'whine' from the charger too tonight. Actually I found sounds like this fews days ago,but no idea where it came from, -- have thought it was from my notebook. Until tonight I found out the whine gone when I plug out my charger. and yes, that was when my phone got fully charged, will check out if it is there when the phone isn't 100% next time . . .
I've got the same problem. Has anyone performed a factory reset to see if the problem goes away?
Mine only whines on a cheapish wireless charger. No whine sound on my turbo charger or my tylt wireless charger. Been doing it since I bought the phone back in November. As far as I can tell it doesn't hurt anything.

I don't think the charger is a good quality or a safe one, strongly suggest you to replace a new one.

Yeah i've sent it back they'll ship a new one:good:
That whining you guys hear is just a voltage regulator vibration. It's not really something to be concerned about unless it gets louder. The same thing happens to graphics cards in a computer when they are under heavy load. It doesn't happen to all, but does still happen.
In my case with GFX cards, hot glue around the regulator that is vibrating has normally been a more than satisfactory fix. I doubt you guys will want to tear into your chargers to find the culprit.
Anyway, just giving my experience and knowledge.
Hi. I have this as well with my Moto X Play's charger. It is not so loud but it is enough to ruin my sleep. It only does it when the phone is done charging. One solution is going to the developer options and set it so that the screen does not turn off while charging, but this is probably bad for the battery as my phone is often very warm in the morning when I do this so I cancelled this and just resorted to not charging my phone when sleeping. It does not seem to be a defect, just something that went under QA or desing's radar.
