How can I prevent the phone to not use qc3.0 when charging, just normal charge? I use another charger that heat up alot and I don't want. Any solution if I have root?

I used to charge the battery with USB but lately, I've tried with AC adapter. Then, I started having lag.
Is it better to use USB? Is there any harm in charging directly from electrical outlet?
or just use one method to charge? Cos I sometimes use both alternatively..
I don't think the lag you felt was caused by the different charging methods.
Both methods are completely safe and you can use them interchangeably.
I have a couple of generic chargers I've been using with my note 2 for a couple of years. I realize these will charge slower than the samsung fast charge charger but is there any reason we can't use them or will they impact battery life (I would think they would increase battery life); i supect the answer is that they are fine but maybe battery technology has changed and there is some 'smarts' between charger and battery that would be damaged by these ?
No issue using your old charger except as you mentioned it won't be fast charging. I do not believe that the fast charging will hurt the battery. The fast charge only works for the first portion of the charge then the rate of charge slows to a trickle charge.
U can use any charger but i recommend to use any charger with 2amp output as it charges quick 40% in 30 mins insteas of 50%in 30 mins with original.
Original charger has two modes 9v and 5v it charges with 9v untill 50% and switches to 5v after that.
I think the unit i use is a sanyo 800ma 5 volt. I don't mind the slwo charge as long as it can't harm the battery. This is only used during travel and office; @ home I use the charger that came with the device.
You can definitely use another charger. Like said before it wont charge as fast. The adapter that comes with the phone will charge your phone at 9v instead of the normal 5v. If you use a different usb cable with the charger it will still charge at 9v. If you change the adapter, it will charge at the normal 5v whether you use the another usb cable or the one that came with the phone. The usb cable is just wires. The wall adapter is what determines how fast it will charge...
So the G4 comes supplied with a 1.8A output charger, and I am wondering whether it is okay to use another charger I have, which has a 2.1A output? As in will it damage the battery over time?
I have heard the G4 supports quick charging so I'm guessing in that case it would be okay.
Thanks in advance.
It's fine. The phone will charge at whatever current it deems safe, even if you had a 100A supply available.

Would it charge faster?
Maybe a little.
I get about 1600mA with the stock charger. And about 1900mA with my Quick Charge 2.0 charger, which can provide the equivalent of >2.1A. I don't have any good-quality normal 2.1A chargers available to try.
So the largest benefit you could see would be about 20%, if the phone charged as quickly as it does from a QC 2.0 charger. I doubt it would charge that quickly, personally.

As asked in the title. Does it matter what charger you use? Can I use a 1A charger or does it need to be 2A? My phone has been rebooting and overheating I think it's only on a certain 1A charger. I applied the thermal mod and it was fine until i was charging it up with said charger. Is it just coincidence?
What I have experienced with mine is that, it does matter what charger you use. When you use a different charger it might seem okay for some time, but overtime you will start to see the effects.
If I use 30w fast charger instead on the regular 18w that comes worth the phone will my battery be damaged?

I don't know if you'll damage the phone but i know that the faster you charge it the faster is discharges
Wat charge you use ? Give me link ...and what time you get on full charge ?
No, the phone will just draw what is capable of. You can get a 100W PD charger and if the phone supports PD, it will charge at the maximum that i can (which will be way lower than 100W) If is no PD compatible, probably will fall down to other standards that both the phone and the charger are capable of, like QC3 or if they don't, to the good ol' ""5V 2A""
There's no problem if you use higher wattage type C chargers. You're just overspending on something your phone can't fully utilize. Your phone would still just ask what it's programmed for charging and the charger just provides power to satisfy, given that it could.
