As the title states my battery mod fails to charge on charges other than turbo charger, has anyone had luck with working with a different charger?
Mine charges fine on a generic USB-C charger. It's obviously slower, but it works.
I thought I was having the same problem a couple of days ago. It looked like the phone was only charging and the Incipio power pack wasn't. The internal phone battery reached 100% but the mod was showing 0%. I decided to just leave it and surely enough it was charging, just really really slowly. I was using a normal portable charger with a USB-C cable as I was away from home. It takes a very long time to charge both using this setup. Then again, I've found that the battery pack in general takes a long time to charge in comparison to the phone even when using the supplied turbo charger.

I wonder if anyone else has this issue? I have the Tumi power pack wireless charging battery mod and it charges extremely. I'm using the stock 30w Turbo charger that came with the phone. I loaded up Amphere and the rate I was getting was 290 mah.
I've noticed that while using the phone while charging, when the phone is @100 & [email protected], every time the phone drops to 99 it stops charging the pack and then charges the phone. So, I will just pop the battery on a wireless charger or not use my phone while charging the battery. I have this cool qi/qc3.0 hub that makes charging my phone AND battery a breeze, so that's what I will often do.
Hello I have Moto Z and the Incipio power. It was charging before with phone with the type c charger which come with box but now I don't know the reason the Incipio doesn't charge !! when connect the Incipio give me notification with 97% and after 3 sec it is 0% and not charging from the power or charging the phone same also when power off the phone !! Could you please advise?
Using the official turbocharger provided by Motorola, the Battery pack and the phone battery will both charge at the same time. I have noticed using a generic charger/USB-C cable via the PC to charge, it charges the phone battery first and then only will charge the battery pack (once the phone reaches 100%). That is my experience...

Has anyone noticed that phone does not charge while using GPS. The charging indicator is on but when I look at the stats it says discharging at -450 mAh. Is this the way it is and if so, is there a fix? 1 hr 42 m with 73% display on battery use and 43% charge remaining, but was plugged in the entire time while driving under an hour home. I am using the same Motorola high performance charger that every other phone is charged fully even when using GPS.
are you absolutely sure the charger is giving the full 1A?
What sensor app are you using to see the battery discharging?
Mine charges normally with gps on.

I was curious so I tested this with "Battery Monitor" I have it plugged into my laptop currently which only gives +500mA. and not the +1A that you get from a wall/car/high power usb port.
the app is showing +257mA with GPS on and functioning normally.
So charging good here... Might be something with your motorola charger? It could have a sensor in it to detect 'trickle charging mode' that is improperly engaging when connected to the HTC causing the charger to put out a minimal 'sustain only' level of amperage.
good luck!
you need a charger putting out 1A ... most car chargers put out 500mA so find a good one off monoprice
Here's what I'm doing. I have a Belkin 2.1A(2100mAh) USB car charger dongle. The problem is, once i connect the USB cable to it the phone registers it as "Charging USB" and does notcharge anywhere near as fast(power-wise) as if the phone was registering it "Charging AC". I'm not keen on using a power inverter to get the full AC charge so instead i am going to go pick up a cheap micro USB cable, splice it open, then disconnect the data wires(green & white ones) & then tape it back up. By disconnecting the data wires, the phone will no longer think it's a USB connection and then charge via AC, getting the best charge possible.
that should work ^ if thats the problem
I've found that using the included USB cable with a Belkin dual port USB car charger allows the phone to charge as if it were plugged in to a wall. I'm guessing the included cable has a different layout than standard Micro USB cables.

I'm guessing that I have the same belkin dual port (2.1amp and 1amp ports) and the best I've seen out of it is about 250mah charging. This is using the supplied usb/micro hdmi whatever cord for the phone.
I have seen discharge rates off the charger of 750mah which is the highest I've seen on any phone. I'm guessing if you are using the nav on your phone with the screen on, it will probably still be using battery while plugged in.

Possible, but says AC charging in Battery Monitor widget. I will post a few pics.
Here are a few Pics. you can see a couple of things.
-Charger rated at 950 MA out. and no other phone I have owned lost a charge while driving including TBolt, Charge, Bionic.
-Shows as AC charging
- Spikes of good charging detected
Put on Normal power mode today on the way in. live wallpapers did not wrok, just flickered. 3G on vice 4G. Battery still went down, but above 90% on 40 minute drive in. Screen low but on. Bluetooth speaker.
Maybe it is the iBolt car mount. See review online. will try without dock this afternoon on my way home.

Pros: Options for different backs
Cons: Does not charge the phone while it is in use
Try playing pandora when the phone is 100 charged. After 45 minutes on the car mount (and yes it is plugged into a charger and all indicatros show it is charging) and the charge level is 84. Using the same charger but plugged into the phone, playing Pandora for 45 min starting charge level 68. Ending charge level is 100.
Yeah, something is telling that charger to not give you full juice
Rezound
ok, drove home off the window mount and just on charger, all same except full brightness on screen.40 minute drive. came up 7% battery vice down from 100 to 43%. nedd a few trials to confirm, but looks like window mount is throttleing juice.

i have seen spurts up to 913 with GPS off and screen just turned on. Using battery monitor widget. Not on window mount, just charger.
I can confirm. The car dock will not charge your phone atleast not with the screen on and nothing else running but battery monitor widget.
I bought one and tested it extensively yesterday. I used a Verizon 1a charger and a generic 1a charger. With the dock and both chargerz the phone DIScharged(as in LOST battery power) at between 100ma and 200ma. Without the dock using the same chargers and changing nothing on the phone the phone charged at between 50a and 300ma.
I did the test several times to eliminate any random things the phone may have been doing in the background.
After doing that controlled test I played with it some more and no matter what I did I could not get a positive charge with the dock attached even in airplane mode with the screen backlight at minimum. Without the dock using the same chargers i ran Pandora and a police scanner both outputting through the phone speaker, gps, wifi, mobile all on, and screen on auto and still had a very small positive charge.
Moral of the story DO NOT BUY THIS DOCK unless you dont mind it just being a piece of plastic that holds your phone in place.
I wonder if there's a quick mod to it to get it working right. Like the soldering of the USB chargers I've seen.

I just went ahead and bought an extra battery so I wouldn't have to charge in the car. Only takes 20 seconds to pop in a new battery.
Can charge both batts while I sleep at night.

I was looking for a high current charger for my Android tablet and there was a review that talked about compatibility. Some of the high cap chargers appear to be designed for Apple products and the pin wiring is subtly different. So, on some non-Apple products, the charge is only recognized as a lower power, 500mah charger and the users reported that some devices would normally charge and others would not. Some of the dual port charges also split the power. The 2.1 amp port and the 1 amp port cannot be used at the same time, depending on what is plugged into them. This was also brand specific. I ordered the Amazon Basics 2.1 amp dual charger and will see how that works. I have noticed a difference in charge rates between my Motorola charger left over from the Blackberry and the Verizon OEM one. The VZW one is faster.
I do the same thing I have been doing since my Windows phone days.
I use the AC cord plugged into a 12v to AC adaptor(screen set to 100% bright and no timeout).
I drove 6 hours last week ruuning Google Maps/GPS & my battery was 100% charged when I got to my destination.

I've just started using my S3 in my car connected to a car charger and have started noticing it gives the phone a super charge which means that I still have about 80% battery after about 6 hours use, this compared to around 50% battery if I was just to use my normal charger.
However my normal charger has a splitter cable on it which also charges my spare battery which is in a Samsung desk stand (sold as a Extra battery kit). It got me thinking can chargers give a different level of charge to a battery, even though they still 100% charge it?

Yes, several custom kernels have settings to adjust mains and usb charging currents
so, isn't it clear that questions go in the questions section?
I wasn't to sure if the post was going to include a question before I posted it, but if its a problem delete it or whatever I'm not really bothered.
Any one else noticed that incipio offgrid battery only charges with Moto turbo charger and not with any other charger ?
With other chargers it shows waiting to charge
Nope. I've had no issues charging with my Nexus 5X charger or a random cable/wall plug combo.

With included charger, mod and phone charge at the same time. Other chargers phone charges to 100% then charges mod.
You can also charge the mod directly on a wireless charger. I do that - when it is off the phone.

That's what I thought but both charged at the same time using a random cable and my portable charger.

It will charge at the same time if the connected wallwart outputs at 5V/3A minimum, which constitutes as "TurboPower" by the phone.
Doesn't have to be the included charger. Any USB-PD compatible or 5V/3A charger should do the same.
Don't use a high amperage 5V/3A charger with this phone!
Type C cables use thinner leads than micro USB, and can't take the high current.
My "Golf" brand cable started glowing at the Type C tip, the metal got so hot it turned red, and melted the plastic WHEN IN the phone.
It worked without issues for two weeks, but the tip of the plug was often luke warm, but that time for some reason it overheated and short circuited.
Incredibly my phone survived, but I'm never using a non-QC charger after this.
To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the LG G6 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I have used the charger that came with it (since it was the only USB-C cable I had at the time) and it charged amazingly fast. I bought a Wireless charger as well which is also amazingly fast. It's my first wireless charging experience and I was told it trickle charges so it would be much slower than charging from the cable, but I barely notice a difference in speed at all. I keep checking the phone what seems like every couple of minutes if not seconds and the % has increased by a lot more than I would have imagined. I thought wireless charging to be pointless and a who-cares ordeal, but not that I have experienced it... I don't think I will go back to a device without it (not for a phone at least). I'm not sure if any health issues can be there from radiation, but I'm almost dead anyway (well... I have about 50 years to go I guess) so I don't really care, lol.
For those wondering, I went with the CHOETECH Qi Model T513 wireless charger. Input: DC5V/2A (Max) Output: 7.5W which I purchased from Amazon for only $19.95. That was 50% off at the time I purchased it, but that was only a few days ago so you might want to check on it.
Really? I feel my g6 charges way slower then my S7 edge. I still have it but I'm gonna test this tomorrow.

Went and picked up this bad boy today. LS variant. Out of the box, had 41%. Using my car charger Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0(yes 2.0) and the included USB C, it charged to 70% in the 20 minute drive back to my house. For using the old QC tech, still charged amazingly fast. I have a QC3.0 39W wall charger that got delivered this afternoon. Will wait til this baby dies and charge her up with that and will report back.
Ive noticed when using a QC 3.0 charger and cable doesnt seem like the g6 is actually charging faster. Its suppose to support QC but its not.
I'm finding this charges a lot slower than my S7 Edge as well. Using the provided cable and charger it takes about 2.5 hours to go from 5% to full which is generally fine, but there isn't a burst and then trickle. I appreciated being able to plug my phone in for a short time when it was low and top it up enough to go out and not worry about it dying. Can't really do that with this one.
I had a power brick laying around and says qualcomm 2.0 and it charge`s really fast, like 1% of battery every min. , but yes with the stock charger brick takes forever to charge.
Using a Xiaomi USB C charger (45W) which supports both UPD 2.0 and QC 3.0, my phone charged very fast.
Mine charges super fast with the supplied charger. I plugged in with 11% yesterday and hit 50% in like 25 minutes.
quick charging is convenient and all, but is there a way to revert to normal charging? I don't want to accelerate my cycles. Thanks.

Use a non-QC charger.
thanks. I'll do that, I have to get extra cables anyway. Although I was wondering if there was a way to hack it phone-wise.

the charger that comes with the device doesn't support QC3, it's a QC2 charger.
so, getting a QC3 charger would defiantly decrease the charging time :good:

Look to the charger specification, if it supports only 5v and 9v then is QC2. QC3 scales on various voltage between 5 and 12 volts.
And yes, the provided charger is QC2, probably the same Found with the G5.
Yeah I take back what I said. The supplied charger does appear to "only" be QC 3. It still seems faster then QC2 though. Maybe it's just in my head. It works for my needs though, I can get almost 50% in like 20.
Charge in airplane mode when you can. When you have no worries of anyone calling or texting. With wifi off as well you'll see a decent jump in fast charging.
purchased by phone a couple of days back and it charged from 5% to 100% in approx 1.40 mins with the stock QC 2.0. I'm damn impressed....
Let me Ask y'all something. Coming from a LG G4 and just Charging My Batteries by a OEM Battery Charger I got 2HRs More of SOT. When I charge via the USB Quick Charger I got the same 3HRs as usual. So I got 5 while charging Slower then the SO-Called Quick Charging. To my understanding Batteries are meant to Slow-Charge rather then Fast
My H850 frequently stops accepting charge, and then allows the battery to discharge to empty even with the charger connected. When I put it on the charger at the end of the day I hear the charging tone and it starts to charge, but in the morning the charge level is lower than when I connected it, and occasionally the battery is completely empty.
I've checked the charger and battery contacts and can't see any sign of lint or other debris. The charger and cable both work fine with a tablet, so I assume they're fine.
Any ideas??
Your battery has gone bad. Purchasing a new one on Amazon or ebay is your best option.

Sounds like a possible bad usb port on the charging chin. Or battery does it break connections if jiggled around?
I have the same problem with my spare battery (which I bought a few months ago as part of the LG kit). Interestingly I have a Qualcomm 3.0 certified Anker charger on my desktop which seems to keep it charged fine overnight, so maybe it's just a problem with non-certified chargers (although it was working fine until a couple of weeks ago).
The USB battery connection seems OK - if I jiggle it around I don't lose the charging connection. But then when it's charging overnight it's always sitting still on a flat surface, and I check that it's charging as soon as I lay it down.
