[Moto G Themes and Apps] Hampa_D:
just got my pad and usb thing today, installed the app and gave it a go. but I can't get it to indicate that it's actually charging. I thougt I had positioned the phone correctly because the green/blue led was constant blue so I left it there for an hour and a half just to return to blinking indicator. the pad I bought is one with three spools so it should be easy to position it correctly. but I'll be damn if it is.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] Hampa_D:
The phones led blinks when the pads led flashes but nothing, so I tried to charge an SanDisk mp3 player and low and behold it actually charges. Got stock kernel on the phone.

[Moto G Themes and Apps] dubidu:
If you have any other micro usb device try there. Check with "dmesg", that's were you will get the notification at kernel/driver level.

The app does a "echo 1 > /sys/module.....", you need root to write in that file.

Try from a terminal to see the state of the file before and after running my app, it should change.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] dubidu:
The phone leds should stay white all the way until the phone is charged. Even if you don't see a charging icon/state on Android, it should be charging if the leds go white.

If is flashing, that's something different, you can control how the led behaves (flashing/solid/etc) while charging, but my app only uses one mode (permanent white during charge)

Are you 4.4 rooted?

I'm still on 4.3 but I think plenty of guys are running the internal wireless mod with 4.4 and it still works.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] Hampa_D:
Yeah weird, as it charges the mp3 player there's no problems with the pad or the adapter, but when I try to use it with my moto g, both under the battery door and outside it is as if I can't line it up properly, pad flashes blue/green and phone led flashes at the same time.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] dubidu:
Did you check if the floating property got updated?

the toggle on the app should be on (blue line in the button) if the property is properly set.

I saw something similar to what you mention on my old HP Touchpad when using some old wireless pad (powermat)

looked like it didn't have enough juice so the led on both device and mat was going on and off all the time (half second interval)

maybe "dmesg" output when is doing that could provide some clues. With my touchpad it was clear the wireless mat was not providing enough power and it was disabling the charge within the device.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] Hampa_D:
yeah the toggle is blue, the pad I have is this http://www.chinabuye.com/t-300-3-co...nokia-920-820-galaxy-s3-s4-note-2-black-white

What do you get (dmesg) when pluging the usb cable?
[Moto G Themes and Apps] schurl85:
i think my receiver is defect, because i cannot get it to work on different devices, have tested moto g, some xperia, htc one, blackberry z10 and my panasonic 3d glasses. non of them gets charged, and in dmsg i cannot find anything with msm_otg when using the reciever, only when using the normal cable.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] dubidu:
If it doesn't work at all with any of those devices, then it sounds like a faulty charger.

I've open one of my chargers are the pcb and components are less than perfect. Not sure which one you have, but after looking inside I can understand why they are so cheap.

Try to get another model, the cheap square one (like the fist one in my link) are around 4~5 pounds, and even if you get yours replaced, it is always a good idea to have more than one charging mat around ;)
[Moto G Themes and Apps] Hampa_D:
but isn't it strange that, in my case, it charges the mp3 player but not the phone?
[Moto G Themes and Apps] dubidu:
Yep, but I don't think yours is bad, if it charges a device, to me is prove that it works.

It's more likely that t is not giving enough juice to the phone to charge, but it normally you get some kind of message on the logs.

My nook hd does the same with some powermat charger, flash and make the charging noise like if is connecting/disconnecting all the time.

on the nook I can force it to charge using some special kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2363710)

[Moto G Themes and Apps] Hampa_D:
Works like a charm! Thanks dubidu. Would this app work on other phones too? Planing on getting the oneplus one which I actually thought would have qi charging but nope.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] dubidu:
I doubt the app will do anything on other phones (maybe the led would) but I believe the "floating" kernel parameter is just for Motorola devices.

Still, It is possible that the OnePlus will work without the need for the tool (or the "lock screen pattern tweak"), I have some old HTC phones which work fine, as soon as I connected them to the QI pad they will start charging.

[Moto G Themes and Apps] NWKENT:
Sir..thanks for your reply, what model do you have, 1st Generation Moto G or 2nd.?

I have the 2nd Gen. XT1064..I'm using v1.3 and have also tried v1.1 initially..I have made sure the LED on function has the "blue line" in the button..on both versions, same results..no charge LED..the LED on the device is proven good, because it is a blue/purple color when I receive messages and emails..

I have noticed that once the LED on (blue line) is on, and I close the app. with the "close" button in the app. and reopen the app. the LED On (blue line) will be off..I can activate the button "blue line" again, and close the app, with same results..for some reason, when I close the app. the LED on button (blue line) is deactivated, (every time) I close the app. I can even minimize the app. (leave in background) and the blue line stays on, but still no charge LED..

Am I overlooking something.?

The same version (both versions) work perfectly on both of my XT1045's (Moto G 4G LTE) 1st Gen.

Please help me with this..I miss the LED greatly..

Hey Dubidu,

I have a Sprint Moto X (XT1056) - I saw a previous user said the app worked on his AT&T Moto X, but I'm not having any luck with it. I'm on 4.4.4, which may or may not make a difference.

There isn't a /sys/module/msm_otg on my device, so the app obviously isn't writing the parameter. Any thoughts on how I could hunt down where this may live on my device? I'd love to get wireless charging working, but haven't had any luck with the other suggestions I've found.

I've got a similar adapter and a cheap charger... They do work, just not with the Moto X. I wonder if there's a similar setting in Moto X Kitkat as in Jelly Bean. I'm assuming you need the app to be able to run wireless charging? Does your sys/module have the parameters listed on I think page 2 of this thread?

Is your device Rooted.? I'm bootloader unlocked and Rooted..Not sure if this app works with Non-Rooted device, haven't read this thread in awhile, can't remember is Root is required.?

I'm talking about this post here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51026783&postcount=18

I've tested the wireless charging receiver and charger, and both work fine. Tested with other devices and a voltmeter.

My device is bootloader unlocked and rooted - yes, you need root to use this app. The app works fine, the Sprint Moto X on Kitkat doesn't have the proper /sys/module/msm_otg/parameters/floated_charger_enable parameter file to be echoed to. So the app works, but there's no file for it to edit. I'm assuming yours does have this parameter... I'm more curious to see if there's a correlating parameter on Kitkat. Seems strange that it exists on the Moto G 4.4.4, but not the Moto X 4.4.4.

I've never been much of a kernel tweaker, though, so I'm not real clear on how to find the right parameter to change. I was hoping the OP could point me in the right direction if he had some time.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] MechanicaIMan:
FWIW, you can set the LED to be on during charging with Xposed + GravityBox, assuming you are using the stock KK ROM on your Moto G.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] grayme:
Hello, this works great on my 2nd Generation (2014) model, except I need to open the app and re-engage floating charging each time I reset the phone.

I am using the MotoFloatingCharge_v13.apk version, which I believe is the latest one. Is there anything I am doing wrong or I can do to make this automatic (e.g. in Tasker)?
[Moto G Themes and Apps] NWKENT:

[Moto G Themes and Apps] grayme:
I don't know for sure what I did differently, but it now charges automatically on reboot. The only thing I think I did differently is use Gravity Box to make the LED light up on charging; I don't know if that made a difference. I doubt it is the new charging pad I now use.

Happy days; for me at least. :) Hope it just starts working for you too.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] MechanicaIMan:
I'm confused; what is the app needed for? I don't have this app installed on my XT1064, and Qi charging works fine.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] grayme:
I'm not the expert, but maybe your usb connection on your charging pad your phone has more than the two pins ours have, so doesn't need this app to get the phone to work.

Or if you are not on the stock ROM, maybe yours has had this modification built in.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] MechanicaIMan:
I'm not an expert either, but if you guys are needing this app for Qi charging to work, then I assume the difference must be with the receiver. I'm using the "BLUBOON" receiver that is being sold on Amazon and eBay. And I'm using the stock KK ROM.

I saw today that someone with the same receiver as me is having a problem after switching to Lollipop, so that's disappointing to hear.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] grayme:
Mine came from DX.com as referenced here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2596469

[Moto G Themes and Apps] crazydave789:
I've been adapting tablets with broken usb ports to charge wirelessly for a few month now, when I was reading up on adding QI to kindles etc I noticed that a lot of phones have suitable points to solder the QI receiver to and also that the newer QI chargers have a smart function which turns the charger off when it has decided the battery is full (something very handy when the only option is to solder direct to the battery). I did pick up a couple of the universal receivers but noticed the two pin problem rendered them useless

so is it doable to wire direct to the board and keep the usb port free?
[Moto G Themes and Apps] ttaarrmm:
CM12

This app does not work on my Moto G with CM12. After enabling the floating charge function and then opening the app again, the function becomes disabled despite no rebooting. There is not even root permission appearing when using the app. Any suggestions?

My bad. It works properly now, but I still need to enable both the floating charge and LED functions after every rebooting. Thanks a lot for your contribution anyway. Cheers

[Moto G Themes and Apps] ttaarrmm:
UPDATE: I did clean flash of CM12 and now this app works perfectly (no need to re-enable both functions after re-booting.) Perhaps, you should try clean flash. Don't forget to back up everything before though.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] grayme:
I'm sticking with stock, so when Motorola do decide to gift me the long promised update to Lollipop, I'll be clean installing then.

That said, I am only upgrading in the hope it fixes the painful 2014 G's memory bug rather than the apparent functionality that LP provides (having just decided to go back to KK on my Nexus 7).

Can I use the official Nexus 5 wireless charger from the Google Play Store to charge my Moto G without rooting? :confused:
[Moto G Themes and Apps] ttaarrmm:
I think the Nexus 5 charger can charge any phones with qi compatibility, but it cannot charge Moto G with a qi pad because the USB port of a generic qi pad has only 2 pin while Moto G requires 3 pin usb port for charging. The app can get rid of this requirement but it needs root access.

So, my answer is no unless

1. you can find a qi pad with 3 pin usb port (So far I cannot find one.); or

2. you root your Moto G (which you do not want to, right?)

Hope this helps,

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidQ:
Is it crazy to buy and use this phone rooted and running AOSP only. I am on Verizon with a Galaxy Nexus and unlimited data. The phone now sells for $450. I love AOSP, but being on Verizon the closet that I can get is continuing with my rooted Galaxy Nexus or buying a Moto X or Razr to get as close to stock as possible. The hardware of the G2 is better than both, yet I do not like LG's version of Android. My thought is buy this phone root and install AOSP immediately.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JRJ442:
Some have issues getting ROMs to flash on the 12B for VZW update. But over time all the ROMs will have that fixed. The ROM community seem to have most of the bugs fixed or they're working on fixing them. I'd say give some a try.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graig79:
I have a Verizon G2 as well, lasted maybe an hour before I rooted and installed a ROM. Most of the big issues with 4.4.2 ROMs have been fixed (or are very close to being fixed). Favorite 4.4.2 ROMs so far are OSE, Beanstock and Mahdi. They all run smooth and have lots of customization options! Ayysir's PAEK Kernel runs great on these ROMs too! Will allow you to overclock/underclock the processor.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidQ:
This is good to hear. It sounds like G2 is the next best thing to having a Nexus on Verizon. At least I know I am not crazy or at least no alone in wanted to root and rom immediately.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHM078:
I'm an AOSP guy as well, also on Verizon. I mostly prefer AOSP because I like to customize myself and it's a lot easier to do with AOSP ROMs. They're also fast and light. So I was surprised when I really liked the stock LG ROM a lot. Ran Malladus, modified stock, for a while. So maybe give it a couple days, can't hurt. But now I'm on 4.4.2, I eventually wanted my AOSP. I'd say go for it. If you just want stable AOSP, Paranoid Android is a solid bet. It's not full of all the PA features yet. It ran rock solid for me. But even the feature/customization packed Beanstalk ROM I'm running now has been solid. And I'm sure it'll get even better once official 4.4 comes out and brings along updated proprietary stuff. I agree with you, it's the best bet on Verizon right now. I like the Moto X but the G2's camera, screen and battery life blow it out of the water. And I feel like it's a lot more future proof. As others have said 12B can be quirky, there are some modified recovery builds in the Verizon board that may help, I haven't looked at them recently as I rooted from 12A. If you get it and it's on 12A, it may be worth not taking the update just to avoid any issues, although I'm sure they'll be ironed out soon. You can always flash the 12B radio on your own if you want it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidQ:
Thank you. This is exactly what I was hoping to hear. The battery and camera are hard to ignore especially when they are two of my biggest issues with my Galaxy Nexus. Hardware you cannot change, but software.... I will check out PA, CM and the other AOSP options available. I guess I better research and prepare for 12B just in case it is already updated.
