I got a usb-c to micro adapter and i'm going to connect that with my old moto g charger to slow charge it, but i'm wondering if it's possible to force it to slow charge with the stock charger

Hi all,
I'm running into a strange issue with my Z1 Compact. I've just bought an Anker 40w 5-port USB charger, and when I connect it to my Z1c with the magnetic cable, it charges fine and everything is OK. However, if I connect it using a standard micro USB cable, it discharges at a rate of around 800ma instead of charging.
It's not just the Anker charger - I had a similar issue with an Arctic 4-port charger I was using previously. When I connect to the stock charger with micro USB, everything is fine and the phone charges normally. I'm running the latest build of SlimKat (it was happening with previous versions as well as on CyanogenMod) with unlocked bootloader.
Is the stock Sony charger different to regular USB chargers in terms of internal connections? I can't figure out why else this would be happening.
Stock charger has 1,5A and when you charge phone and at the same time you use it wont discharge. But if you have charger with max 1A or even less your phone would discharge while havy using
That's the thing though - the Arctic charger is rated for up to 2A per port, whilst the Anker is rated up to 2.4A per port, so it shouldn't be that.
Also, if I'm just using the phone normally whilst not plugged in, I might get a current drain of around 450mA from the battery. But if I plug it into one of these chargers over micro USB, the drain will be around 800mA to 1100mA. So it's not that the phone is using more current than the charger can provide; the charger is apparently actively discharging the phone.
I'm using Battery Monitor Widget Pro to check on all this. When I connect to the 3rd party chargers the mV and mAh flicker and jump about, but are steady over the magnetic cable or over micro USB on the OEM charger. Not sure what this signifies, if anything...
Any way to force fast charge when charging via USB
When charging with wall outlet with original LG charger the phone charges pretty quickly.
However when charging via USB in my car there are time it will charge slowly (which I can deal with) but there are other times it will not change quick enough resulting in the battery actually losing charge. What is weird is I can't figure out the variability as the load should be pretty consistent (screen on, bluetooth on, GPS on, car home ultra, navigation and stream music).
I had a Galaxy Nexus that had the same problem but was able to resolve it with combination of using a power only USB cable and custom kernel that support Fast Charge which I set via Trickster MOD. I am using the same setup except I can't find an equivalent way to trigger Force Fast Charge.
I am using GSam Battery Monitor to try to diagnose but am getting confusing results. The mV reading varies from time to time from -1000ish to +1300ish.
Is there a way to solve my problem?
Thanks in advance!
What is the rated amperage output of the car charger and have you tried using the original LG cable with it?
If the port on your car isn't putting it enough amps it will never fast charge. Try getting a fast charge car charger.

Hum... I didn't think about checking the output of the car charger. Thank you for the suggestions. I think that is the problem.
I have a GoGroove FlexSMART X2 Mini (http://www.gogroove.com/GOgroove-Fl...eless-In-Car-Bluetooth-FM-Transmitter-pid9385) and I found out its output is rated as DC 5.0V 600mA. I think I'm going to need to get a twin socket adapter, one socket for the X2 mini and one socket for a fast charge car charger.
Buy a 12VDC charger with at least a 5V 2A output and you should be good.
Got an used LG G6 with a generic charging cable. I use my original LG G2 charger which rated 5Vx1.8A, but I can only get maximum 900ma for my G6. So I assume the charging cable is not quite good.
I plan to get a better USB-C to USB-A 3.0 charging (/data) cable.
Question 1: With a good charging cable, will I get the full power 5Vx1.8A (9W) from the G2 charger?
Question 2: I also have an ipad air 2 charger (10W), will I get 10W power for G6?
Thanks,
I'm looking for something other than the stock charger that will charge my Pixel just as fast as the charger that came with it. I've tried a few but none have come close to the charging speed of the OEM charger. Are there any specific chargers that anyone would recommend over others. Especially if it's a fast charging wireless. My old wireless Samsung charger wouldn't work at all.
iPad pro 2018 replacement charger should hit the same speed since it's USB-PD 18w
Hi there.
I recently purchased a Samsung A54 and noticed that it came with USB-c to USB-c charger. It did not come with the plug. I have been using a normal USB-USB c cable and original Samsung fast charger from an older device to charge the phone (as i do not yet have access to a USB C plug). I have noticed that the charger becomes extremely hot and makes a buzzing sound. The charger also cuts out and restarts again multiple times during the charging process. Is it safe to use the USB charger or do I need to buy a USB-C charger?
Thanks so much

Just replace the charger. It's a lot cheaper than the phone.
I've had good results with the Anker Nano series.
I'd expect this to be the charger anyway and not from the phone with it.
I use the A53 with my old Samsung 15 watt fast charger and the cable that charger came with just fine. There's no problem. The a54 should be no different.
So, I expect the charger to have a problem.

I got the Samsung Charger brick with the phone but I use the Anker Charger anyways! Ive had this for more than a year and I use this as my primary charging brick. Never faced any issue so far.
I was using my old Oneplus Warp charger (65W) and was also getting heating, and phone would only charge for like 10 mins before stopping.
Bought a Belkin 25W USB-C brick and all my issues went away
