I plugged my pixel 2 XL 18 watt charger into this phone and turbo charging popped up on the screen. Now normally it says charging rapidly or something like that but phone's got turbocharging. Also the best gcam mod that I have found is 7.4 parrot his version works flawlessly on this phone man.
The g8 power ships with the actual charger it's supposed to come with, which is just a QC3 charger. TurboPower is Motorola's branding for QC3 yeah.
Wait until you find out that this phone has a notification LED

yeah, but for some reason it's like right on the brightness sensor so it makes the backlight go to max when it's on, which is even more stupid

It's not a dedicated notification led. If uprooted, when will the LED light up? Battery too low? Charging?
It works well with notifications, but not when charging. It's weird, you can't make it blink at least on the crDroid 6.11 I have. I installed an app called LED Control [ ROOT ] and I use the storage IO indicator option and that works just fine. It's a matter of getting it right but it can be a full blown LED with flashing and brightness it just needs to get controlled properly. And you can't have auto brightness on. (they need to make it so that it doesn't change the brightness when you get a notification else you get blinded lol)

I just got my Nexus, and have plugged it in for the initial charge.
A graphic flashed on screen showing a battery being topped up, then went blank. As far as I know it's charging, but there isn't an LED showing me the charge status - is this right?
My desire LED is orange while it's charging, then turns green once it's fully charged. There doesn't seem to be anything like this on the Nexus, or am I missing something
Cheers.
EDIT:
Yeah it's definitely charging - if you tap the power button the graphic comes back. Just seems odd that the LED doesn't relay the battery state, so you can glance to see if it's charged yet or not.
Oh well.
Maybe you can enable this function if you modify the LED notifications.
The idea behind this is likely so that you can see if you have notifications while it's charging. It's a trade-off between two useful things that both use LED.

Well the Nexus can display pretty much any colours with its LED so they could use different colour flashes to display different information. Another design oversight.

Is it on when you plug it in?
Yes - Plug it in. Look at the screen and see the icon change to the battery w/ lightening bolt. Set down the phone. Wait
No - Plug it in. Wait for the battery charging icon BIG WHITE BATTERY on the screen. Set down the phone. Wait.
Once you know its charging, what is the worry? Do you really look at your phone from across the room to see if it's done with phones that do have an LED?

You don't even have to look at the top right. On your lock screen, it says:
Charging ( XX % ); XX being numbers. That's how simple it is, definitely making a big deal out of nothing.
The charging led was one of the things on the nexus one that I found quite handy. Well, once it was remapped to a more useful purpose anyway.
I had mine setup to indicate the cpu load (yes, even when the screen was "off"). Since it was a separate led from the notification (trackball) led, there was never any interference or confusion with "regular" notifications. Yes, I'll miss that extra re-mappable rgb led, whatever it's original purpose was supposed to have been...
By the way, Light Flow (free in market) will let you customize the led for this and other events.

Do I have to have a rooted galaxy nexus to use this app?
I second the LightFlow suggestion. I set mine up to show a flashing white LED while charging and a solid white LED when charging is done. Went through a few other options, too - orange for charging green for done, etc.
Lightflow has options to either prioritize or cycle notifications, so a charging indication won't override an email or something.
I know LightFlow uses root, but I just tested it out by denying it root access. The LED for charging still functions. even without root.
As a side note: "Done Charging" is indicated at around 90-something percent. So if you are somewhere between 90 and 100, you might see the LED acting like it's done even though the lockscreen still says charging. Not sure why that is, but I think it's probably so that the typical charge/discharge when the phone battery is full doesn't cause it to keep triggerring notifications over and over. Historesis would be a better option in my opinion. Wait for it to hit 100% to call it charged, but then wait for it to get below 90% before allowing another "charged" event to be activated. But again, that's just on the speculation about the reasoning.
Look for "Galaxy Nexus LED" in the market. It does exactly what you need, I believe (just charging led and low battery notifications). If you need more features Light Flow is the one to install (as people already mentioned).

Anyone else's indicator light on the original charging dock staying on all night? I thought from the user manual, it said that when the watch is fully charged, the indicator light on the charging dock would turn off. Mine stays on even after the watch has been at 100% for hours.

Thanks. Have you noticed if the indicator light turns off right when the watch hits 100% or does it still need "topping off" and turns off after a little bit?

Yup, it is on 4.4W.1
Will keep an eye on it tonight/tomorrow morning. I just want to make sure everything is working fine before the return window closes. I think the wording in the user manual is old and the light would go off at 100% since the screen turns off. Now that the screen is always on, I am guessing that it is constantly trickle charging even when it hits 100%.
Thanks.

Cradle not charging, but charging status face displayed
Within the last couple of days I've been waking up with a dead 360. When I put the watch in the cradle, it appears to be charging (watch face shows charging circle and percentage); however, I just noticed that the indicator light does not turn on.
End result is a dead battery. Resolution has been to use a different QI charger to charge the watch. The automatic conclusion is that the charger isn't charging, but why does the watch go into "charging status"? Thoughts/help? Anyone else experiencing this? This all started after most recent update.
Try doing this:
Put the watch on the charger.
Open the Android Wear App on your phone and go into settings
CHECK "Screen Always On"
Wait for the 360's screen to dim a little bit
UNCHECK "Screen Always On"
The watch display will turn completely off.
This will charge your battery in less than 2 hours.

That light is for the watch being docked.. I would suggest putting some electrical tape (non-permanent way) or black nail polish (permanent) over it.

The light not bother me. I read online manual say when full charged the light shall be off.
So I need to know is my watch and charging is good or not.
When I place my Note 4 on a wireless charger it charges just fine. But after it charges to 100% the screen comes on every 3 minutes or so until I remove it from the charger.
This happens on the Samsung Wireless charger and the Tylt vue.
Can this behavior be stopped?
Thanks for any help.
On my s4 I had to turn down system volume and notification volume while on the wireless charger
I337 stock NJ4, rooted, unlocked

It happens while plugged in as well, I think it's a safety thing like the lgs they beep and vibrate on an interval after 100%charge to alert you

After you've gone to bed this is pretty inconvenient.
I'm betting that the majority of phone users charge while asleep.
I use Persist+ for volume and I have it set to silent at night.
But the screen coming on over and over all night is just useless.
Right now I throw a washcloth over the screen. Easy, Dumb, Effective!

Mine comes on multiple times ONCE it's fully charged. So far that's the only time I seen it repeatedly come on. But when I ignore it and leave it alone it just stops on it own after a minute or so.
At night I use a plug. It's during the day that I use my Tylt wireless charger.
Is this isolate to AT&T Devices only, or does this persist in other variants as well?

Sorry, but thats hilarious that your solution is a cloth, considering how much we paid for a top of the line smartphone. This really sucks. I've decided to not even use it as a bedside doc anymore. it's in the living room now, where I can easily add and remove it from the dock.

I just got home from the store and I had my phone plugged in to the car using one of those USB car charging adapters that plugs into the 12V outlet.
I was using BT for music and GPS. When I pulled up and went to unplug my phone, I noticed it was extremely hot to the touch. I then noticed the phone was blinking the orange notification light and not charging. (Instead of a solid orange notification light and charging status)
I'm kind of worried, to be honest. Any info on this would be appreciated.
Just let it cool off for a while. Charging stops when a certain temperature threshold is exceeded. What firmware are you on?
Charging + GPS + BT music? Yeah, not surprising it got hot.
Virtually all smartphones will go into a sort of safe mode when they get too hot. It's to prevent the battery from overloading and catching fire, which li-ion batteries are known to do.

Did you mean 1.40? Or 2.8/7? If 1.40, that's kind of a buggy firmware as it relates to charging. I would just limit the amount of time it's plugged in a little bit. Like unplug it every so often. How long was it plugged in to get the flashing orange?

Well, this thread is from a long time ago, but exact same thing is happening to me, and it's good to finally find someone else who can confirm it's a normal thing (literally no one else on the internet has posted about this somehow?). For me, it's quickcharging on carpet in a poorly air-conditioned bedroom that's heating the phone up. Am on latest MM stock unrooted. :good:
You also get the flashing orange light when the cable can't carry the current. Buy better cables.
Beamed in by telepathy.
When DASH Quick Chager is active , notification light turns blue.
While it's in the normal charging mode,light turns red.
If l use it for a while,charging,is normal,light turns blue.
If l take it directly to charge,light turns red,DASH not work.

Just keep it away from cold places like near windows (when it's cold or freezing outside), the fridge etc.
