[Q] E975 charger limit on amps?

i am thinking about if my E975 is limited when it comes to how many amps it can charge with bcs i recently brought a 2A charger also tried it out on my Google Nexus 7 2013 and i don't feel like it charges that much faster then my original LG charger with a 3meter flat OEM kable.
the charger i brought is said to charge with 2A while the original LG is only 1.2A shouldn't i be feeling a difference?

No, you shouldn't. You can plug it into a 10 Amp charger, but the phone will only draw the amount it needs. Remember, it's not the charger pushing the current to the phone, it's the phone pulling it from the charger. The charging current is determined by the phone - each Li-Ion or Li-Po battery has a controller curcuit. The important thing is for a charger to be able to provide what a device wants to draw - otherwise, it would charge slowly, or not at all. So, a charger should be rated for not less than X Amp. More amp rating won't hurt, but it won't increase the actual current...

oh this is very useful. I also had the same question.
mine came with a 750mA (.75A) charger. As I left my charger at home during the holidays, I had to make due with one that I bought from a nearby tech store. I was very happy with the charger that I bought as it charges my phone really fast. I found out that my new charger was also a 2A model.
so I guess, in my experience, I noticed a big improvement in charging speeds comparing the 750mA with the new 2A charger. But I guess coming from a 1.2A charger, it only makes little difference.

Wall Adapter [Q]

Could you guys recommend me a wall adapter?
I heard that i should get a 1500 mA one, but the best i found on amazon is Belkin Universal USB Wall Charger EU which is a 1000 mA ( i'm not allowed to post links yet, but if you search it it's impossible not to find it). I have to tell you that i can only buy it from the UK and that it needs to be a standard EU plug.

The one amazon.de sent me charges fine, the only issue is that it turns on my device if i try to charge it when it's off. The charger is a 5v 1A.
My iPhone 5S wall charger is also a 5v 1A but it "behaves better" i guess, because when my moto G is off wheni plug it to the iPhone 5S wall charger it doesn't turn on my phone automaticaly, it charges fine and the moto g only shows the battery image on screen.
Both charge ok (1A 5v), but if i want to charge my phone when it's off i guess some chargers won't be able to do that. Maybe it's an voltage accuracy.

I use adapter from my Nexus 7, otput is 5V 2A and no problems.

Any wallcharger will do as long it is 500-1500mA but i think anything over 1500mA can be used, but the device will limit it to 1500mA.
But i wouldn't recommend anything over 1500mA as it could damage the device.
The higher the mA is the faster it will charge.
Currently im using the Sony Ericsson Live Dock DK10 to charge my Moto G but im looking for a more powerful charger.
Press Thanks if i have Helped!

Additional amperage does not harm the device, only incorrect voltage will. The phone will only draw as much amperage as the charging chip allows.
Having said that, keep in mind that quick charging will wear out the battery faster than a slower charge.

I'm using a 750mA, 5V Blackberry charger for mine - from empty it takes about 2hrs 45mins to fully charge, so a higher amperage should be pretty fast. Doesn't boot the phone if the phone is off.

i bought this one

In case anyone is wondering whether the old Apple wall charger is working or not (the one from circa 2007. I broke my other decent wall adapter...), it's working almost perfectly. It's correctly recognized as wall charger and ~1A is drawn from. That's quite surprising, It had always been wrongly detected by all the phones I tried to charge with it. The only drawback is that the device can't be charged when off, the device will simply boot as soon as it's plugged. This doesn't happen with proper wall chargers (at least on JB, I don't know if something changed with KK).
To know if a wall charger is detected as such, dial *#*#4636#*#* and see if it says "USB" instead of "CA" in the battery informations. Usually USB means lower current (~500mA) and kernel wakelocks (not always this one, it depends on how the charger is detected). That's not good.
You can also get the amount of current flowing though the battery using CurrentWidget (look for it on the Play Store) or reading the files in /sys/class/power_supply/battery/.

nothing happens if the moto g connect a charger that 2.0a galaxy s4

The Asian dual sim version comes with a charger with a hard wired cable, rather than a micro USB cable (and interestingly, its only got 2 wires connected from what I can tell). Its 500mA, and mine uses a UK plug. I've also tried it with a HTC charger (the moto charger has a VERY long, unwieldy cable) thats also 500mA and it works too. There's no real need for a higher amperage, and it does tend to charge pretty fast.

Hi, is it possible to use the Live Dock to connect USB devices on the Moto G?
Thanks in advance!

I am using the adapter of iphone 5s, it's a 1A, is it good or not?

[Q] htc charger... quick help please

need a quick help here. i accidentally left my charger at work overnight, and someone decided that its his/her's now ....ive searched around and cant find place to buy the original charger that came with the m8. HTC's website doesnt have it. amazon doesnt. even ebay dont carry it.
i need of a charger. currently using a LG G2 charger thats rated 1.8a 5v .....but with a super slow cable.
is the LG charger okay to use? will it damage my m8 in the long run?
i am also buying this cable on amazon. buy or dont buy?

yes, i know there is a quickcharge 2.0 coming out. seeing as the cable is only $5 ...im thinking it will do for now.
thanks in advance

HTC charger outputs 5V and 1.5A. As long as output voltage is same, you can use different chargers. Ampere value just affects charging time. Higher ampere means faster charge. In long term, it can shorten your battery's life, but I don't think 0.3A can cause an observable affect

I use all sorts of chargers. They are pretty much standard now as far as micro usb goes. As said some are higher rated some are lower. I don't think there is any that will damage the phone as long as its designed for charging and is 5v.

I too use multiple chargers and cables and the only issue I've had is a double length cable that works for charging but won't allow connections to the pc
XDA app on m8 running venom

I charger capable of delivering more current will not damage your phone since the phone won't draw more current than it wants.

[Q] Charging

Does anyone know the minimum specs for buying a charger? 2.1A or higher? Looks like some places are adding watts to the output capability as well.
All my old chargers aren't cutting it anymore and I need something for the car and other outlets. BTW, I have a VS985.
Thanks in advance!

The stock is 1.8A. So I'd go off that.

2.1 A won't hurt your phone but keep in mind charging is limited by the cable and the chips capacity. Let's say you have a 5A charger your phone won't charge at 5A but rather its max rate. Make sure you get a good cable to use as well because if it can't handle the amperage it could cause serious issues and or fires in some cases. I use a 2.1A charger and its fine.

need motog original charger

please suggest me through a link to buy original moto g (1st generation original charger),
NB:available within India, is compatible chargers are reccomended??

i prefer 2amp wall charger. currently um using amazon basic wall charger. its good standard.

When i purchased mine (in the US), there was no charger included. My wife's moto g didn't come with one either. I don't think the 1st generation even has an original charger.

Lol..... even my one too...hahaha

My Moto G don't had a charger in the box.
The charger was only included in a few countrys.

I had no charger to, think only a few country's had that.
But any 5V 1A (1000mA) good one will work just fine.

Great Battery chargers

my suggestion is, don't buy any new charger. just collect used any 2Amp charger came with any Internatinal/chinese OEM TAB.
that will works best.

Do u have any suggestion for such 2amp chargers?

I don't know which branded tab's are available in ur country. even any chinese low end set, charger gives true amp. its hard to believe that amazon basic charger I've bought that didn't give as they told.

If you're in the UK and are a cheapskate, then the POUNDLAND charging plug and a decent USB cable would suffice, and it would only cost £2-£4 in total.
If you're still skeptical about the build quality of these, then check these two videos out:

I have 2 Moto G's - one purchased in Canada, where I live, and another I bought in India. The India one's charger got damaged, but I only used it in emergencies as it had low amperage (350 mA). I just use my PC with the USB cable from the other one (200 mA), or the charger from my Motorola two-way radios which can charge both at the same time (500 mA each), but if you want to, you can ask Motorola Support where to get one. I believe you can contact them through Motorola's Device Help app, but I'm not sure as the chat function won't work in Canada, though it did in India.
