Technology can (and was) applied to the METHOD of charging to mitigate the issue. But no technology/method can eliminate the physics of battery chemistry; faster charging rates (regardless of battery level) will cause more resistance/heat. I AM NOT being argumentative here. I just want people to understand that this "fast charging" technology (which I personally like) comes at some cost, and should be used judiciously IF you want to conserve every last % of your battery's long term capacity. If you get a new phone often and/or you don't mind some (more) of your battery's capacity to diminish over time in trade for the convenience of always using rapid charging, than it is not a problem.

In a similar vein, GPS use heats up your phone and battery (and runs your battery down). No one suggests never to use GPS; it is a useful service and well worth the tradeoff. BUT, we (usually) don't keep GPS on all the time, or our batteries will run down too quickly and battery wear will suffer. We use GPS when we need it.

I got a powermod quick charger and it seems to work pretty well. charges 2% per minute till about 80%
[X 2014 Accessories] bongostl:
Update: I tried two different turbo chargers, and then the stock charger. All started at 14%. All charged for 15 minutes. All charged about the same amount. This is NOT the experience I have seen with the n6. Is it possible Motorola messed something up with the moto x implementation here?
[X 2014 Accessories] Badelhas:
Isn't the current higher than a normal charger when using a quick-charge 2.0 one? How do we measure it? Will GSam battery app work?
[X 2014 Accessories] bongostl:
I can't find an so l app to do that... Let me know if you have success.

I'm seeing dramatically different charging results on the n6, and beginning to think that this is not working on the mx2
[X 2014 Accessories] ssick92:
The turbo charger is definitely working on my Moto X 2014. I can't remember the exact numbers but it charged from around 15%-70% in about 25 minutes. That is drastically faster than a typical charger.

One easy test to see if it is charging faster is that when you plug in your Moto X, wait about 5 minutes and then feel the phone. If the phone is getting warm then you know that the charger is pumping a lot of juice in there because more power = more heat.

All I can attest to is the fact that the turbo charger charges my phone VERY fast. Once the phone gets above like 65-70% the charging slows down to normal speed and the phone is no longer warm.
[X 2014 Accessories] bongostl:
Are you on KitKat or Lollipop?
[X 2014 Accessories] ssick92:
The time that I stated above was on KitKat but I can confirm I get essentially the exact same results on Lollipop. I am using the USB cable that came with it, although I highly doubt that would make a difference because they seem to ship the same USB cable with the stock Moto X charger as they do with the Turbo Charger.

Does your phone get warm?
[X 2014 Accessories] TauxiC:
0-100% in exactly 100min

I just thought I would add my own experience to this thread with using the Turbo Charger on the 2014 Moto X. I tested it out on my mom's phone 2 nights ago and had her use her phone until it completely died and powered off.

I then plugged it into the turbo charger and set a timer on my Nexus 9. The phone was turned off for the first 15min of charging, and left on after that while being connected to wifi and unused other than an occasional glance at notifications etc. Here were my total results:

15min: 0-28% charged

30min: 60% charged (this is when I notice the phone appears to start charging at a normal/slower rate.)

60min: 82% charged

90min: 97% charged

100min: 100% charged

Hopefully plenty of other people in this thread are able to compare their results to mine and wind up with something similar (within a couple percentage points).

I also bought 2 Powermod Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 Certified car chargers off Amazon for $20 each, and will be testing those this weekend to see how they compare to the Motorola Turbo Charger. I would expect similar results.
[X 2014 Accessories] smelkus:
I'll add my results on the 2014. After a 15 minute charge without using the phone...

Normal wall charger = 45% to 47% (+2%)

Turbo Charger = 45% to 63% (+18%)

Jackery 2.1A port = 45% to 59% (+14%)
[X 2014 Accessories] Badelhas:
Thanks. The gain is more noticeable during the first 30 per cent of the battery, I believe, you should do the test again with the battery at a lower starting point
[X 2014 Accessories] AK47ita:
what about availability of official qualcomm quick chargers 2.0 in Europe????I can't find it!
[X 2014 Accessories] Badelhas:
Me neither
[X 2014 Accessories] smelkus:
I don't understand why the Jackery did worse than the regular wall charger that came with the phone in this case, but here are the numbers with a lower starting point after a 15 minute charge without using the phone:

Normal wall charger = 15% to 29% (+14%)

Turbo Charger = 15% to 42% (+27%)

Jackery 2.1A port = 15% to 27% (+12%)
[X 2014 Accessories] Badelhas:
I know why. Because the normal charger has quick-charge 1.0 technology, and the other one probably doesn't. This means that is increases the voltage at the beginning and decreases towards the end. Quick-charge 2.0 does it even more, as we can see by your results.

Which phone and quick charge 2.0 charger did you used specifically?
[X 2014 Accessories] smelkus:
Moto X (2014 - Verizon, XT1096) and the Motorola Turbo Charger. Wall charger refers to the charger that came with this phone.
[X 2014 Accessories] Badelhas:
Than I cannot explain it should since I believe that the stock charger which came with the Moto X 2014 supports quick-charge 1.0
[X 2014 Accessories] raptir:
Yeah, those results are really weird. At 2% per 15 minutes it would take you 12.5 hours to charge your phone. With the capacity of the Moto X battery that's a charging rate of 184mA. You should be able to get at least 500mA even off of a USB port on a laptop. I haven't tested the speed of my wall charger in any scientific method, but I can charge from around ~70% to full in just over a half hour, which is around 1.2A. I don't actually know the single-port charging rate of the stock charger, but that seems about right.

Now, battery percentage is just an estimate of power based on the voltage of the battery, but that's still unusual. If you're consistently seeing that slow a charge off of the charger that came with your phone, I'd see if they'll exchange the charger for you because that's clearly defective.

[X 2014 Accessories] Raistlin1:
Just got the Motorola turbo charger and used it for the first time last night. Phone was at 10% and it charged pretty fast up to about 60% but then it slowed down. It took my phone about 90 minutes to get to 100% from 10% using the turbo charger. Battery got fairly warm in the beginning and got to 103d F (maybe 105 but don't remember exactly) but then cooled down when the charger started charging slower. The phone went from 10% to 20% extremely fast, was quite impressive.

I did not get this charger for daily long term charging, it will be at my desk at work for those oh sh!t moments before I leave to go home and battery is low.
[X 2014 Accessories] Pilz:
Here's my experience with the "turbo charger" which I'll refer to as a Qualcomm quick charger because "turbo" is just branding. (Both of my quick chargers are made by Motorola and are the "turbo" charger)

It likely slowed down due to the heat. I've used the Qualcomm quick charge 2.0 chargers for 2 months now on several devices without any issues. It charges my Nexus 6 from 10%-100% in 64 minutes. It charges the S5 from 20% to 100% in 45 minutes. O haven't tried it out on the Moto X yet because mines still waiting to be shipped.

There are no adverse effects of using the charger that I have seen. The phone won't draw more current than it can handle so it won't hurt your battery any more than a normal charger will. Excessive heat will do more damage than charging it with this charger. Again the phone won't allow itself to draw more power than it can handle so it won't have more heat than charging normally. My phones with qi get warmer that way than with the quick charger. The max I've seen my phone draw was 2.5A @9v which is a lot of power (22.5 watts) and it didn't get that warm. My battery will get to maybe 104°F which is cooler than it is when I'm playing intensive games on it.

In the end the charges are fine to use everyday and in fact I have a car quick charger as well that I use for road trips with 0 issues. I wouldn't worry about it hurting your phone or battery. The upside of the charger is by far one of the best things to come kit this year and I will happily use mine everyday for my devices that don't have qi.
[X 2014 Accessories] borxnx:
I have both the Motorola Turbo Charger and a QuickCharge 2.0 compatible car charger. The car charger makes the phone MUCH hotter than the wall charger. As in too hot to hold to your ear comfortably. The turbo charger does warm the phone, but it doesn't get "hot" like that. Just my 2 cents.
[X 2014 Accessories] Raistlin1:
I used the standard charger tonight and from 15% to full it took one hour and fifty five minutes. Turbo charger took ninety minutes from 10% to full yesterday, which doesn't really seem right, should be faster I think.
[X 2014 Accessories] Note10.1Dude:
Time to 50% charge would have been interesting in both cases. The turbo slows down as the battery charges - so it is really all about getting you back to "enough" charge in 10-15 min. when you are in a hurry.
[X 2014 Accessories] Raistlin1:
I agree, if I ever test it again I will test time to 50 or 60 percent full. I can definitely see the phone charging very fast when the battery is low, it does seem to work better in that scenario.
[X 2014 Accessories] nyte3k:
Turbo Charger

(Judging from the temperature of my device)

It gets the most heat output at the 0- ~60% range, and slowly coolts off from there when using the turbo charger.

The turbo charger, in my opinion was the best investment I've ever made.

maybe they think that after 18 month a battery weakness of 20-30% from total is not a big problem. till my phone has a easy removable battery no problem, but with my moto x 2014 i prefer keep battery health good since i try to keep my phone as long as possible.

Something to keep in mind is that the Turbo Charger only does a really quick charge up to about 60%, and charges at a normal speed after that. I still use the normal charger most of the time because it's smaller and two ports, but I wouldn't worry about damage to the battery.
[X 2014 Accessories] Wutang200:
No because it's a 2 pin connector and I'll need an adapter. Rather just have the UK version and do it properly if Motorola will ever sell one.
[X 2014 Accessories] GTCC:
You don't need an adapter for the euro 2 pin to work in the UK, all you do is use something to insert in the top pin so that it will move the guards on the bottom pins so that you can plug the euro plug into the socket. I do it with both my OnePlus One and Oppo Find 7 charger.
[X 2014 Accessories] kkhadr:
Agree with raptir, turbo charger only fast till 60% not 80% as published.

The other day I bought some higher-gauge 20AWG USB cords (they were on sale for $7.99/6 pack. Now $9.99/6 pack but still well worth it http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YO9YYK0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00).

After using them with 1) the official Moto Turbo Charger, 2) an Aukey brand QC 2.0 wall charger, and 3) a TronSmart 30W car charger (QC2.0 certified), I have noticed the phone stays MUCH, MUCH COOLER when charging with Quick Charge!

With the wall chargers I cannot even notice a difference when charging, when normally it would get slightly warm to the touch.

With the car charger it gets slightly warm, but used to get quite hot. Hot enough that I would charge it in bursts, allowing it to cool a few minutes every few minutes of charging.

I would highly recommend getting some higher gauge USB cables for using with Turbo Charger or any Quick Charge 2.0 charger. It is well worth it.

Oh and did I mention that it actually charges the phone faster than the lower-gauge cables did? With less heat!

Anyone else had any experiences like this?
[LG Optimus G (International)] ff_29:
NOOB ALERT: I am very new to this, but have done a bunch of searching and have come up empty. If I missed any threads that may have addressed this, my apologies.

Hello,

I recently tried flashing a custom rom on my e971 for the first time after 2 years of ownership and getting bored of stock rom. Rooted as described in the ROOT/BL-U/L/Install custom recovery thread for Canadian G's (zv9-zvb universal root), U/L BL with freegee and installed cwm (also through freegee). I then flashed pacman rom 4.4.4 for the e973, as it was my understanding that it would work properly. Rom flashed successfully and the phone worked for the most part (though there seemed to be some bugs with the rom).

One thing I noticed was that my imei was displaying as 0 in settings, which was a concern. After searching the forums for this problem, i found that most people with this problem couldn't connect to their operator, whereas I could connect fine (though my network speeds seemed slower than usual). No problem making calls, SMS, or using mobile data (MMS was hit and miss though).

I've since successfully restored my stock backup via cwm, tried restoring my efs partition via freegee (used freege to backup), re-flashed the JB radio for my model, but have had no luck getting my imei back (phone still works though).

The only other thing I can think of trying is the Unbrick guide using a kdz, however the kdz downloader app gives me an error when i input my model and serial. My other concern with this method would be ruining a phone that's currently working.

Can anyone recommend any solutions or offer any insight as to why this may have happened?

Thanks very much.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
A couple of things... First off, to flash a KDZ, try using a flash tool 2014, it should work (worked on my F180S). Second, you could just leave your phone as is, unless you are planning to use it abroad (I am assuming you are in Canada). Unlike in other places in the world, e.g. Europe, nulled IMEI somehow works perfectly fine in Canada, which I know from my own experience with at least two different phones. Weird, but true. So, if you are only planning to use it locally, it shouldn't be much of a concern, really...
[LG Optimus G (International)] ff_29:
Thanks for the reply. Yes, in Canada, but unfortunately, I can no longer connect to Rogers at all. I'll take a look at the LG flash tool thread and see if I can figure it out. Still not sure where to find the kdz file though...

You mentioned you've experienced the IMEI problem. Do you happen to know if flashing the kdz will restore the IMEI (not sure if that's what you meant by "worked on my F180s"?
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
Take a look here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=20

The KDZ you need is listed under "Rogers".

I just meant that when I had to flash stock KDZ on my F180 (several times, for various reasons), Flash Tool 2014 worked perfectly for me. So, if you are having issues flashing KDZ by other methods, it's the best tool to use.

My IMEI problems were on totally different phones... I haven't encountered any IMEI issues with OG. Some people say that flashing KDZ does restore IMEI, others indicate that it doesn't. I can't say... If you used FreeGee in the past, you might have made an EFS backup. Restoring from it would be your best bet.
[LG Optimus G (International)] ff_29:
Thanks again. I did make a backup using freegee, but restoring through freegee doesn't seem to do anything (I get a message saying the process is complete, but still no IMEI).

I'll give the flash tool a try and report back.
[LG Optimus G (International)] ff_29:
Update: successfully flashed back to stock by kdz, but no change with the IMEI, and still not connecting to network. Still have the backup EFS partitions saved, but unless there's another way to restore them besides freegee, I think I'm SOL.
[LG Optimus G (International)] ff_29:
Update 2: After a day of showing no connection to the network, my phone decided to connect to rogers wireless today. Didn't change anything, and IMEI is still 0.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] The Stig 04:
The only part I'm going to address is the root part because the other part is a little over my head lol but who knows, maybe addressing the root part might help fix the other problem.

First of all point 4 is wrong, you don't need root in order to keep root after an OTA because your going to lose root upon the OTA (as you found out). You can however get it back because you are S-OFF. The process to get root back for future reference is easy.

After taking an OTA install a custom recovery of your choice and flash the SuperSu zip file and that's it!

So if you can get yourself back on 4.4.2 that "works" doesn't matter if it's rooted or not follow the step above. Or if you get yourself on 4.4.3 that "works" just install custom recovery and flash SuperSu zip file.

Hi, I've recently (very recently) updated my S3 Mini to 4.4.4. The problem was that everything was just too small, so I installed "textdroid DPI" from Store and increased my DPI from 220 to 520. Why 520? I Don't know, probably "miss-clicked", it was supposed to be 320.

The thing is that I can't revert to the normal numbers, I already tried to re install/redo the whole process (install the 4.4.4 Firmware) but it remains with 520 DPI.
