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
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007ZN5LE0/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
didn't receive it yet
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've got two noname QI chargers, which worked with a Nexus 4, Galaxy S4 and Nexus 5, but don't seemt to work with the LG G3. Really annoying. It starts charging for 3 seconds, then stops and starts again. Also the G3 is really picky on how you place it on the charger. If its off by half a centimeter it complains and tells you to center it correctly.
The best one I've used, and the one my phone is on right now, is the Tylt Vu.
http://www.tylt.com/vu/
As far as I can tell, there is no way* to place it on the stand and not have wireless charging working properly.

it seems to be hit and miss, I have one that fails exactly as you mention, but another I bought for a Note 3 from ebay that works fine. The working one isn't fussy about placement either. it's a bit ugly though

$70 or $100 on Amazon.... both a bit more than I'd like to pay.
I bought an "Expower(R) QI" of Amazon, arrived yesterday, sent back today. Same problems as other people mentioned above.
I also bought an "DiGiYes® 360 Qi" car charger, this works great, no problems with positioning at all. It does say on the box that it's an uprated 3 coil version, so I'm wondering if that's what you need to get to work with the G3, and that single coil Qi charges will be a waste of time.
I have this 3 Coil wireless charging pad bought from ebay and I can't charge the G3. I get the start charging loop. It's working well with Nexus 7 and my former Note 3. I really wonder if LG WCP-300 can charge the G3.
http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phone-accessories/lg-WCP-300-wireless-charging-pad
I have the LG WCP-300. Encountered disconnects and constant notification to "place phone in charging zone" messages.
I've tried the official samsung Galaxy s4 one and it doesn't work.
Got this two days ago,works fine.

One thing though if you want your phone to charge when vertically tilted,you will need to raise the base by about 20 mm
I don't want to make a new thread, but can anyone recommend a good wireless charging pad that can charge the g3 and eventually moto360 simultaneously?
Aren't they all the same like an universal chargers?
Or some models have more ampere and charge faster?

Impossible to know.
I got the following:
http://list.qoo10.sg/item/QI-WIRELESS-CHARGING-PAD-RECEIVER/413308734
the A6 model which I believe is a copy of the Tylt Vu and it works flawlessly. It charges the phone vertically or horizontally even with my Spigen Slim Armour case on. Never had issues with phone placement as well since the design of the charger ensures you get it right.
http://www.ravpower.com/ravpower-qi...mah-capacity-power-bank-white-us-version.html
Got this, nice with an integrated battery , is large but less then G3, I ordered in amazon the base model without battery but they sent me this one, then good price!
Charging is slower then original cabled ( output 1 A )
I have the Nokia DT 910 and the LG WCP-300 charging pad. The LG pad charges the device but triggers this weird "place device in center" message (see other threads). The Nokia DT 910 (and guess all Nokia chargers) don't trigger that message and charges the g3 nicely (but slowly, I believe it's 0.7 A)
Has anyone in the US tried this one? amazon |.| com/Aukey-Wireless-Charging-Qi-Enabled-Blackberry/dp/B00JW9S3KE/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405001468&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=Aukey%C2%AE+Swiveling+Wireless+Qi+Power+Charger+Pad (sorry, not enough posts to have links)
Also, amateur hour question here, but what else would I need to purchase for the wireless charging to work on my AT&T LG g3?

I was about to buy this phone, but then i saw this: https://youtu.be/l-MmWqNrCH4?t=195
Can anyone confirm there are touch screen issues when the AC charger is connected?
This seems to be pretty big hardware issue and i wonder if it does affect all Zuk Z2's...
Can anyone test this please?
Multitouch test app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.the511plus.MultiTouchTester&hl=en
Depends on the charger and socket output.
Like when I'm using it with qc3 charger plugged into 220v output socket, there is no such issue, but when plugged into 110v (tried on train's socket), you can see that problem.
This problem is basically with every phone.
Indian Lenovo Z2 Plus here on Stock Nougat
No issues here (stock charger on 220V AC)
Oh well, maybe i have to reconsider it then
Anybody using the device had this issue(Ghost touch)?

This is common for all Zuk Z2 devices.
Its a issue with the charger & not with the device as such. Try using any other good quality charger, this will not happen or if you want to be sure try charging with powerbank you won't face the ghost touch.
try different socket in different location. sometimes ground wire has problem in home which leads to this problem.
I recently bought the phone, and yes, I have experienced the issue quite a few times. But, only a few times. Most of the time, device touchpad works normally while charging. I think thr problem is with the old sockets. I use Stock provided charger. I have heard that it's common in many phones, so I'm ready to ignore it. Because anyways phone should not be used while charging.
With reference to my previous message, I noticed now that the device shows ghost touches while charging, only when device is charging at max speed and is quite hot. While charging, when the phone was between 50%-80%, it had become quite hot (Not too much though), and it gave me ghost touches quite a few times. I think device charges at it's max during these percentage. But when the phone crossed 85%, the device started getting a bit cooler, and I didn't experience the ghost touches at all.
Issue solved
Hi buddy I had the same issue .one day while I connect my z2 with laptop I see that its charging but no touch issue then I realised it need low power charger than that given charger .After that I use my tablet's 5v 1amp .It works nice and it take 2 and half hrs to fully charge .After that I did not face any touch issue.Thats why they does not provide fast charger.I brought my z2 6/08/2017 from flipkart
is this problem with charger, i belive! i swap charger and job god now!

This is not a phone issue. Lenovo is selling **** quality chargers and cables. If you happen to know (https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AFLICGQRF6BRJGH2RRD4VGMB47ZA) this guy then see his recommendations and buy a good charger or you might even fry your device. This is very dangerous. Shame on Lenovo.

I'm using motorola original fast charger of cellphone of my wife.
I'm also facing this problem. I have divorced parents, the charger that came in the box was a US adapter that I couldn't use. My brother used to have a ZUK z1 and I use his stock charger Together with the original Z2 charger. That one works well. I bought a Blitzwolf USB type C cable, a Tiegem QC3.0 cable and a wish.com charger with great reviews supporting Qualcomm QC3.0, but I recently discovered that zuk z2 uses a different type of fast charging. On the blitzwolf and Tiegem cable i have ghost touches and the phone gets very laggy, does anyone have recommendations? thanks in advance
How will an iPhone charger work.
My proposed solution
I bought this mobile few days back and since then I also have realised about this issue. This isn't ghost touch but the touchscreen becomes ultra reactive with higher input.
I used several apps and found another thing that if any charger inputs anything more than 1.4 amps, the mobile's screen becomes ultra reactive. But if the charger inputs upto 1.3 amps, it is ok. I keep using a charger that gives max output of upto 1.3 amps and I can even play games easily without any issue.
To measure the amps, I use app from play store which is free called Ampere. I am nowhere related to this app, you are most welcome to try this method out.

Just received the Moto G5 (UK unbranded version: Single Sim, 2GB RAM, Snapdragon 430).
Its unlocked, running LineageOS (7.1.2). Very happy with such a budget phone. The only problem is it charges slow. I am using a Qualcomm® certified charger, which has a blue LED for normal charging, that turns green when using Quick Charge. It works fine for my HTC phones. The Moto G5 seemingly doesn't work with Qualcomm's QC chargers?
Does the Moto G5 support Quick Charge 3.0 ? In theory it should do as the Snapdragon 430 does. Is it a firmware problem that is likely to be resolved, or just by design only to work with Motorola branded TurboPower™ chargers? It would be disappointing if that's the case.

After doing some reading heres some information
Quick charge & turbo charge are the same thing - its just manufacturers brand names
Both moto g5 & g5 plus phones support fast charging, with the Moto G5 coming with a 10W TurboCharge charger out of the box, and the G5 Plus with a 15W TurboCharge adapter.
The Motorola Turbo charger will charge the device at a faster rate when the device is below 78%. If the device is already at 78% or higher, it will charge at regular speed.
1% - 65% 53 mins
- 96% 1hr 33 mins
- 100% 1hr 52 mins
Currently as far as I can tell it's quick charge 2.0 although as you said in theory it can support 3.0 - Maybe a future firmware upgrade will allow this
I assumed it would it be same thing under a different silly brand name - it says on Motorola website that their ' TurboPower™ ' charger is in fact Quick Charge 2.0 - and works as such in other phones, so I can't see why Quick Charge certified chargers don't work with this phone.
Anyway it doesn't for me, so I am hoping it will be fixed in future firmware. I have emailed Motorola direct about it, I will see if they reply....
Am I write in thinking the only thing special about the quick charges is the wattage? Pin output being the same as good old changers?
I ask as I going to be fitting new plug sockets with high wattage USB ports in some locations around the house. Chargers are always going walkies in my house :crying:

No, Quick Charge™ uses the data + and - pins to negotiate and supply different voltages (3.6 V to 20 V) and currents to charge quickly. Its different to using a standard high wattage 5v outlet.
Moto & Lenovo said:
Thank you for contacting Moto & Lenovo.
The Moto G5 Plus supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 (and Motorola TurboPower™). However, the Moto G5 does not. It comes with a 10W rapid charger, but this is not the same as Quick Charge (or TurboPower™).
This is a hardware limitation. Not a firmware issue. Even though the Snapdragon™ 430 is capable of supporting Quick Charge, the phone itself is not.

leaves me a little lost then. If turbocharge is the same as quickcharge 2.0 then my charger that came with phone is not a turbocharge at all. It has a output rating of 5.2v.
Edit: didn't see last post as it was an old refresh I guess lol Didn't quite sink in when i seen rapid charge in the promo on there site.
I wish I did more research. I went for this phone for a budget Quick charge 64bit phone lol failed the other part was responsive and I still have that

Exactly the same. I saw "rapid charging" on their website and assumed with the fact it has a Snapdragon 430 processor, it would support Quick Charge 3.0. No idea why they have chosen not to support it Never mind, it's still a decent enough slow charging phone running Android 7.1.2, for the money.
i just bought the mrs one for xmas and dont think its has a fast charger with it...
charger just says 5v 2ah like normal chargers?
I have a Boost Mobile Moto G8 Fast xt 2045-3. I also have a Moto G7 Power. When I got the Fast a couple of weeks ago I tried the 3 amp charger from the Power on it and watched the amperage with the Ampere app. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.ampere). The kernel in the stock Boost OS wouldn't let it charge above about 1800 mAh. I rooted the other day and installed the latest RETUS OS. Tonight I accidentally plugged them in backwards and saw the Fast hit almost 2700 mAh. I didn't think to tell you guys until later, but later I got a screenshot of it at around 2300 mAh. I also got a picture of the output of both of the Motorola's chargers in case anyone wants to get a 3 amp adaptive charger and start turbocharging.
EDIT: It seems it doesn't Turbo Charge until you flash the Magisk patched kernel to root it, so it may do that on the Boost OS as well, but I'm not about to download and install the Boost system again.
yes it have turbo power just doesnt include these charger, I already used old charger from moto G7 and when I plugged it on G8 popup show Turbopower connected Charging rapidly
Yes, the G8 supports 15W charging. I do not know why Motorola writes on their pages (which is why others copy this information) about charging only 10W. Maybe because of the included charger? However, on the description pages of their chargers, Motorola mentions 15W charging support for the G8, for example here:
https://www.motorola.com/us/motorola-turbopower-45w-wall-charger-with-5-amp-e-marked-usb-c-cable/p
In FAQ:
Up to 15W- Moto Z family, Moto G6, G6 Plus, G7, G7 Power, G7 Optimo Maxx, G7 Supra, G Power, G8, G8 Plus, X4, Motorola One, One Power, One Vision, One Zoom
