Does the LG G3 have an enabled Quick Charge 2.0 system? Do I need a 3rd party charger to take advantage of that?
Yes I believe all Qualcomm 801, 805 chipsets have QuickCharge enabled.

I'm willing to bet it has to either be kernel enabled or hardware enabled. The new moto x has it with turbo charger.
Anybody heard an update? I've been searching everywhere but can't find any definite answer to whether my G3 has quick charge 2.0 enabled or not.

The G3 charges hella fast anyway, seems to charge in a similar time to the X.

I read this months ago. From there:
In this test, the LG G3 trails behind both the One (M8) and Galaxy S5 in charge time, although it's quite close to the One (M8). This is strange, especially because the LG G2 has the same battery size. However, this can be explained by the change to charging protocol, as it seems that the G3 doesn't support Qualcomm's Quick Charge technology. Instead, signalling is done over BC 1.2. As we'll see later in the article, this is due to the charger chip used.

Real life scenario is My G3 charges just as fast as my personal preference. So I really dont bother
The G3 does not have QC 2.0.
All phones sporting QC 2.0 are listed on the Qualcomm site, and its missing the G3

LG decided not to use QuickCharge on this device as it causes too much damage to the battery in the long-term.
It would be possible to activate it with a custom rom/kernel though (infact CloydyG3 rom already enables "smart charging" which utilises QuickCharge when it thinks you need it)

Correct. this will act as 2.0 for most devices since 3.0 isn't completely adopted yet.
It's worth noting that this transfers movies quite fast compared to USB from device to PC

I'm not sure what you mean about USB 3.0 not being adopted yet. Some devices have 3.0, but the G Pad doesn't. I don't think it's a matter of it not being adopted, just that the G Pad doesn't have the hardware to support it.

I know it says its compatible with Z2 that's why I have posted here to check if anyone with a Z1 can verify that it works on it as well...
It'll work with any device with S800 S600 and S400 SoC. That's what qualcomm says. So it will also work with the Z1. I'm only worried about that ampers regulation according to the device temperature which is already in the Z1. that means that more hot the device gets while charging then the slower it'll charge. I'm curious how it'll go with QC2
Hmmm it says "certified" which is fancy smanshy for positively will work 100% sure but it's like a car, "certified" which is fancy for used

Why would anyone make a phone with the Snapdragon 800 SoC and not implement Quick Charge 2.0?
Since we already have s800, maybe we just need the proper kernel?

It requires auxiliary qualcomm power management chip which is not present in ours nor OPO. I warn others to not use the QuickCharge 2.0 Chargers because they have 9.0V DC output which is not supported by our batteries as well.

Fast Charging
Charging of a device depends on the current passed to charge it at a constant voltage.
To quickly charge your phone you may buy a charger which has a high output current.
But also remember that it may also damage your device
Snapdragon 400 SOC does support it but you need other hardware for Voltage regulation stuff which the Moto G doesn't have.
So, No it doesn't actually support QuickCharge.

Which roms, exactly? Official roms, CM12 and all their derivatives are charging well. Maybe you meant some strange AOSP derivatives?..
I use an official LG G3 qi charger (WCD-100), and i never encountered issues with it...
Ok. I've tried crDroid 5.0.2 and it didn't charge. Using a Kitkat rom based on g3 oem charges good. But I'll try another lollipop rom and see how it works.

I've seen the same behavior. For LP roms I've tried CM12, LiquidSmooth, and Illusion with no QI charging luck at all. It says "charging" but doesn't actually charge rather it continues to discharge the battery. Any KitKat rom works just fine. I have tried multiple doors, QI stickers, and chargers (TYLT Vu and Nokia DT-900). I'm at a complete loss on what is going on. I would be totally open to any suggestions on next steps.
Ok, I loaded up Illusion on G3 and it won't charge on my wireless charger. I think someone is mistaken about it charging because from everything I have read, it's not working on lollipop roms. It makes the charging sound, and even says on the battery display that its charging, but it's not. Maybe it works on official G3 roms in Europe, but not the custom ones for US phones.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Isn't the V20B the international variant that has been released as official lollipop? But wireless won't work on the custom roms based on other variants.
Its always work on Lollipop ROM. I have a Samsung S4 Qi-Charger and its working fine. And you must use a 2.1 A Power adapter for your Qi-Charger in order for the Qi Charging to work in Ultimate state. I tried with PC USB its keep looking for hot spot.
Recently I ordered a Qi-infinity™_Portable_Wireless_Charger_Power_Bank_4000_ mAh and its work the best when not plugin to the power.

Message Body:
I ordered the above item from Amazon and received it yesterday. I noticed that if I plugin the power supply (either from my PC USB or my Phone charger) its seem that it's won't charge my LG G3 D855 nicely. Its keep looking for hot spot. But if i unplug it from power supply, it charge perfectly.
So is this some defect on this new charger or its a standard feature?
I like the design and color of this charger and do not wish to return it.
…
Dear Sir,
It has to do with bigger phones like LG G3 and Note 4 as current output of our wireless charger is around 1A. In future models, we will be boosting capacity to 1.5A but that will take few months as we need to redesign circuit board.
So to answer your question, no it is not a defect. It is more function of how it was optimized around smaller phones with 1A input.
Hope this helps but feel free to reach out to us for any further questions.
Best regards,
Qi-infinity team
So hopefully they will make a Qi-Charger with higher Output Soon.
And I have this with me too a week ago MobilePal (TM) Gen-2 Slim 10000mAh Qi Wireless Power Bank
Same thing, it claimed its work with G3 as long as use a 2.1 A power adapter. I love the idea of Power bank wireless charging because I can just stick them tightly together on my pocket and it'll charge wireless. But this charger is quite heavy.

Ok, well that could explain why some people have it working and some don't. I have a Nokia charge and it specs out at 750 mAh. Maybe I will try a different charger, but it's still weird that it charges under Kitkat and not under Lollipop roms.

Okay, this does not even seem to be a G3 issue, so much as Lollipop issue...as my fully stock 2013 Nexus 7 LTE just got the Lollipop update and now I can't get it to wirelessly charge anymore either. After spending like 10 minutes getting it on the pad, it finally started to charge, only to give up after a few minutes. I feel like this has to be some bigger bug in 5 that no one's admitting to yet

I've been struggling to make a decision between the G3 and the G4. The G4 obviously is the newer device with the better specs, but I didn't see any (official) cyanogenmod support yet for it, whereas the G3 has that going for it already. Having some custom roms available is a killer feature for me in a device. I already read that even only the european version (I'm from Germany) of the G4 can be rooted - is that the reason why there are next to no custom ROMs or kernels at all?
Do you recommend the G3 if I'm going for customizability or is the G4 going to get CM support eventually?
Thanks in advance for any help

No idea about CM but I think we all have root now. I am using the Canadian model (H812) and we have root but no unlocked bootloader.
We flash things using FlashFire since we can't install TWRP. No idea about roms, I don't use them.
If you're looking for strictly customization you won't find much for the G4. Maybe you'd be satisfied with what's available as far as themes, Xposed, etc.
You can change things up quite a bit, but it's pretty far from a custom rom or kernels. If you're not in a rush maybe wait it out a bit to see if the G4 scene improves. In my opinion it's the much better device out of the two. If anything when you do buy the prices could be lower.

I would also like to add that flashing roms can get old after a while. On my G2 and previous phones I was constantly flashing and changing things. Seemed like everything was buggy in one way or another. In the end I was happier with a nice phone where everything worked the way it should.
With the G4 I'm pretty happy with the stock software, sure I rooted and changed a few things appearance wise, and removed a lot of bloat ware. I'm stuck with a stock rom and recovery(stupid Verizon model), but that's ok!

Ok look, if you're going to buy one of these phones so go with the G4 H815 (not any other model! because of unlockable bootloader) it will get the cm very soon, the development is very fast,

The M7 is by no means a bad device but changing the battery is nearly impossible on that thing. Also, because of a hardware failure which affected the whole M7 series, all my low-light photos look like this which renders the camera totally unusable is some situation. The strongest reason for me wanting to get a new device is that my employer will pay it though, so I'm going to get a new phone anyways, it's just that i've only got a certain budget and the G4 would fit the bill, I think

That's what i wanted to know because some people don't care about that. Also you did not mention any other brands so was curious.
The G3 comes in two variants, 2 & 3GB RAM with storage of 16 & 32GB. The 3GB is the better choice. They did away with this in the G4 and its just 3GB and 32GB like the G2 and optimus G earlier for storage.
The G4 has a much better camera than the G3 which is the same one used in the G2 and flex models. The G3 is a capable auto shooter but the manual controls on the G4 mean more control and better low light ability. The aperture is 80% brighter.
The screen on the G4 is also better and brighter. This you will have to see for youself to decide. Then decide whether you are ok with the slight curve on the G4 that the G3 does not have. Roms will come in time but i see a number of people who are not bothered.
Have you seen the V10 ? will be more expensive since its 4GB and 64GB only. and the manual controls of the stills camera carry over to the video side as well. This right now isn't possible on the G4. The V10 is a little bigger though.
How much battery do you need ? mention your expected SOT/runtime.
I have H815 and have root, unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP, please, get the G4. Getting a G3 is pointless. Think of the G4 as an optimised G3.
I had the g3 for a few days and it was full of lag and heat. Screen was also bad!
The G4 is a totally different phone. Everything about it is better except for size.

Have you seen the V10 ? will be more expensive since its 4GB and 64GB only. and the manual controls of the stills camera carry over to the video side as well. This right now isn't possible on the G4. The V10 is a little bigger though.

I did hear about the V10, of course, but that will, at least on release, be way out of my price range of about 400-500€ I can use from my employer. Also, I can't add from my own money because law restrictions and stuff.
Battery-wise, I'm quite the heavy user - I commute about 2 hours a day by bus and have the screen on almost all the time, but battery's not really a concern for me as I have a 13k mAh powerbank and the possibility to charge at work.
I was also considering a Galaxy Note 3 or 4, as they also have microsd and a swappable battery but meh, it's TouchWiz. Also it's a teeny tiny bit too expensive for my budget.
