I own two chargers marked as "WarpCharger", but they appear to be two completely different models.
One of them, I don't know which anymore, was purchased online as a new replacement, because of broken cable. (It was cheaper than just the cable or same price)
Now, another WarpCharge cable broke, but I found out, the Nintendo Switch USB 3.0 cable warp charges my device. Amazed I started looking for more options, because even on teardowns, the warp cable doesn't look special.
The important part is the cable has to be a data cable. No "Superfast PowerDelivery, but no data" cable works. And they all work flawlessly but... with one of the two chargers.
I've bought some different combinations of cables and plugging them into the charger on the right, gives me warp charge immediately.
Plugging it into the other, returns a normal 5V 1.5A charge.
Which one do you think is the fake? The one that works with any cable? Or the one that (maybe) works with only the branded cables (or none at all anymore as I don't have a branded cable anymore)
I have had the same experience. I am not a cabling expert, nor a Oneplus expert, but I thought there was a chip in their cables needed to achieve warp charging. I use with oneplus 9 pro

Hey y'all,
I was in the AT&T store the other day getting a replacement for my wall charger (it died and they replaced it under the warranty, nice guys) and they told me not to use any other USB cable with my phone because the Motorola one is special.
They say it charges faster and maybe does other things better too, although they didn't really say what else. Is there any truth to this, or were they just trying to sell more cables?
they are trying to sell more cables...
I got a cable from ebay for my car with a 90 degree tip so i can charge the phone while using it as a navigation device. it surely wasn't a Motorola cable but works great. I have also used other peoples chargers and cables, I think I had an issue only once where I borrowed the cable from a friend and the cable didn't want to charge, don't know what that was about, didn't play with it enough to figure it out, may have been a defective cable. but basically it comes down to, the charger is putting out 5 volts, if the cable carries all 5 volts to the device and doesn't loose any, it will work fine. Also there are only 2 pins in the cable that are used for charging, one for (-) and one for (+). those pins are all the same for every usb charger or a computer. also phones with that type connector are wired to receive the charge only through those 2 pins. Thus, all of them are made the same. The only thing that manufacturers will do is change the gauge of the wire being used in the cable, but with a 3 foot long cable, and only 1amp of power maximum traveling through it, it just doesn't matter
hope I was some kind of help to you...
Hey! I was also thinking that in my mind but couldn't express. I thought everyone will think I'm getting crazy! Buy my atrix full charges in just 1.5/1.45 hours with the Motorola's Official Wall Charger & USB Cable. I haven't seen any phone that charges that fast! The battery backup of this phone is awesome! 2days with moderate use & 4.5 days with normal use. Aweomeeeeeee!
I use the Factory cable at home, and an old Blackberry cable at work. No difference in the USB cables performance.
Hi,
Yes, nothing magic...
The Motorola wall plug is 850mA output, a PC USB port is UP TO 500mA and for example the IPhone one (square one) is 1000mA.
So the charging time will be shorter with the IPhone one, then the Motorola and finally the USB port.
As I have already say in another thread, I have connect the +5V of my power supply directly on the USB port, so now, no problem !
Now you know !
Looking for a cable that will quickly charge my Note. I had read previously that these cables need to be "shorted" in order to charge at full speed. Are there any available that come this way?

Go to a mobile shop. Ask for a shot cable for your Note. There are cables of different length available in the market.
Haha, I think we are confusing definitions, I am not referring to length but to wiring which allows the cable to charge the phone faster.
I tried the shorted cable technique. Caused my usb input on my phone to go haywire for about 2 weeks. I thought I was going to have to replace the usb board but it rectified itself somehow. I purchased some extra OEM samsung cables from ebay and they work great. They are even the 5ft version that came with an S4.

OEM cables work the best even the S4 cables work well, I cant post a link but there is a seller on ebay that sells nothing but usb cables he sells original oem samsung cables located in usa single, 3 pack up to 10 packs of just the cables.
I'm looking for a good QC 2.0 cable that is either equal or better than the stock cable. I'd like it to be at least 6 ft. Any suggestions?

Portapow make one:
www dot portablepowersupplies dot co dot uk/portapow-20awg-fast-charge-sync-micro-usb-cable/
Not available on there yet, but they are on Amazon US: Search for PortaPow Specialised 3.3ft 20AWG Charge Only Micro USB Cable for Blackberry, or item code B00RL68RNS
(Sorry about the url formatting - I'm too new to be able to post them)
If the Cable does Charge ONLY, then it wont work for QC charging......QC charging requires the cable to have both power and data.....
I've been using mono price premium cables. Turbo charger charges noticeably faster then a standard charger. Never compared vs the stock cable
I have been using these by media bridge. Have had them for a while, before I had my nexus. Works great and nice quality, seems to charge as fast if not faster.

I'm using an extra cable from a GS4 wall charger. They are long. Don't know why nexus devices ship with such short cables.
Edit: official Samsung GS4 wall chargers are on amazon for like 9 dollars.

Anker hands down is the best and it has a warranty and customer service to back it. Not all cables are created equal.

I picked up one of the anker ones and i am impressed with its build quality! I cant really tell if it charges at the same rate as the stock cable, but it doesnt feel terribly slow or extremely fast. Im very happy with it though!
I second Anker. I have two 5ft and work just fine with quick charger.
interesting...I always thought that the QC ability came from the wall connector..not the actual cable. I used regular plain jane cables with my QC wall adapter, and they worked just as well as the one that came with the phone...hrmm

It's built into the phone and the charger. The cable has little to do with it. Other than that all of the pins must be connected, no charge-only cables. The device and charger have to agree on the voltage, and they talk over the data pins to do that. That way, the QC chargers don't destroy devices that can't handle the extra voltage. The thicker power wires have a lower voltage drop, which is nice, and very important for non-QC devices. For QC it's less important, but if they are available, get them. I happened to already have the ones I'm using, so I tried them. They work great.
I'm using a 5' cable from amazon (bought a while ago) and a 5' extension cable from an old USB WiFi adapter I think. Quick charge still shows up and charges real fast.
My G5 H850 died after 3 months. I just got it back and they replaced the mainboard and battery under warranty. Now it wont quick charge with my original LG charger and cable OR my Anker Quick Charge 3 charger. It never says "Quick Charging", it was fine before. I have voltage \ current monitors connected to all my chargers, I think it used to get up to 7v @ 1.5A on my Anker QC3, now it's 5v @ 1A or less! I removed the voltage \ current monitors to see if they were affecting the charge rate but it still never Quick Charges.
Have they disabled it because of hardware issues?
might be a component issue but I can confirm my phone is fine with v10d firmware
Thanks.
I have v10d too. There's definitely no way to disable it in software? I've looked in all menus including developer options.
I'm going to buy a new type-c cable to see if anything happened in the 3 weeks the phone was broken \ away for repair even though I've tried 3 cables already.
I just noticed none of my OTG USB memory sticks work either! Phone goes into a loop asking what to do with the USB connection. Looks like LG fitted another faulty mainboard FFS. I'll have to send it back for 3 weeks then spend a full day reloading apps and setting it up when it comes back. Getting a bit annoyed tbh.
I have only been able to get fast-charging working with an Amazon USB-A to USB-C cable and the original LG charger. I tried an "Archeer" charger with USB A and USB C and neither would fast-charge, and I have an Anker charger here that won't fast-charge with the cable that came with it or my 3m CableCreation USB-C to USB-C cable. I have never got USB-C to USB-C fast-charging working.
Do LG sell their own cables for this? I'll buy one if that's what it takes. I'm on v10d but I want v10e.
I have several qc chargers, choetech and aukey, 6 way, normal mains, car, power bank and they all work and say fast charging.
I suspect there is some wrong with your usb data pins, they are used to negotiate qc. Obviously also needed for otg. Probably a pc connection wont work either. You could try cleaning the port, other than that I'd say it needs to go back
I realize that the phone can only be charged with the OEM microusb cable, not my old cables that worked perfectly for older Android phones. Later I learned that this is about the Qualcomm Quick Charge technology. I would like to get another pair of charger/cable, so what should I get? I searched "quick charge micro usb cable" on eBay and Amazon but many of them are for Samsung phones, and I am not sure whether they will work with this Xperia X. Any suggestions? Thanks
