I have a rooted LG G2 on Sprint (LS980) and anytime I plug it into my laptops USB port (3.0 or other) I get the slow charging symbol. Any ideas to the cause?

Maybe its because your pc isn't capable of the 2000 mAh that the original charger provides, neither 1000 mAh what a normal charger has. My USB hub also gives the slow charging, it just gives around 500 mAh I think, that's why your phone says it's charging slow

Usb 2 is 500mv and USB 3 is 800mv.
I'm mot actually sure where the limit to "slow" charging starts but it is likely around 1000mv

The wall charger adapter that came with my phone showed about 400 mA when charging. This is the same USB that came with my phone too. I've also tried it on my Xbox one and still got less than 15 mA.

That will get rid of the slow charging notification but it won't make it charge faster is it's getting 500mv it will only ever get 500mv.

Idk. But I'm getting about 934 mA on PC USB charging. And please don't tell me Battery Monitor widget not working.

Usb 2 can only supply 500 mv no amount of tweaking will change that.
Sure you can turn on "fast charge" and it will say it's connected to ac but it will still only charge as much as the thing you are charging it from can supply.

My LG charger gives me around 850mAh but I don't know if it gives more when the battery is nearly empty.
It goes down when the battery is full as you can see here

Hey thanks! I already have a dock though.
In my post I asked what the charging output was for the HD dock.
Sent from my Atrix using XDA App
USB 2 is 500ma, USB 3 is 900ma, Moto charger has 850ma rating on it. If you have a USB 3.0 port you can use you'll get enough power from that. I use the 3.0 on my laptop at work, and it charges fine.
How can we find out the charging output of the multimedia dock?
Sent from my Atrix using XDA App
Do the differences matter much? Just one takes longer to charge then the other?

Yes one charges faster that's it. For heavy users like myself, getting the most juice as conveniently as possible is a plus.
I also like to charge my phone on the dock and keep my usb cable in the truck for playing music. I only want to do so if I can find out what the dock is putting out. When I need juice I need it as quickly as possible.

If your only getting 500mA your phone will take hours to charge and then only if your not running wifi, Bluetooth or gps. Use any of those and plugging it in will just prolong discharge but not actually charge it. With just GPS running I pull over 700mA. I'm really tempted to put a female end with resistors (to fool the phone into thinking it’s on AC power or it'll never pull more than 500mA) on a split wire usb mini cable for charging at work.
I finally used my brain and checked my chargers. Here's the specs
Standard charger: 850mA
HD multimedia dock: 1.2A

I think the dock is rated higher to power the usb ports. I bet it still only feeds 500 to the phone for charging. Looks like its back to the cable for charging!

Just an update. I think the dock charges as fast as the wall power adapter. Almost certain.

This is interesting as I have issues getting my Atrix to charge in the car dock. I have the ATT boxed car dock with ecomoto dual USB. It simply will not charge in the dock. Connected direct to the car charger and it's super fast to charge. Maybe the ecomoto isn't capable of charging the phone in the car dock.

Is using a different wall charger harmful? I was using my old palm pre wall charger for the first few days and it is rated at 1000mA.

Anybody else seeing that even if your phone is plugged in it will continue discharging if you are using it?

Isn't this always the case? My understanding is that the phone is always powered by the battery and not the plug. If your using the phone and using more power than the charger is supplying then the phone will discharge accordingly. Could be wrong but that's always how I thought it worked.

What's your battery life like? You may have some issues with software maxing out the CPU.
Anyway, the One X battery can run out when using navigation software and on car charger (maybe 0.5A).

I ran into that when I was using a under rated charger or just plugged into a USB port. Official chargers (or equivalent) didn't have that problem it was slower if I was constantly using it while charging, but it did it.
Playing games, navigate, heavy tasks - looses percentage.

I believe this is correct. Whenever I used my Lumia 920 for gps+music on a cheap car charger, it would always discharge faster than it would charge. This is because 1) 12V-car/usb chargers charge at a slower rate than AC chargers and 2) some cheaper car chargers output even lower than normal USB charging rates.
Shopping for a new mobile/car charging solution for my Asus TF300T (gonna use for GPS.. tethered to my HTC One) and my HTC One, i ended up getting this multi-use charger. Initially, i was going to get this high power charger just for usb (which is the first charger on amazon i've seen to output 18 W / 3.6 A), but wanted a more unified solution that I could plug both my One and TF300t into. Because I'll be using the tablet for GPS+music, I can tuck the phone away charging at a tolerable rate. Oh, a direct 12v car charger to HTC One will charge the fastest if that's what you're looking for.
Hi Guys,
I have ExtremeMac Dual USB charger, and I want to use this to charge my Nexus 4. and other devices such as my Galaxy SIII. My questionis is it safe to use this charger for my devices? My plan is also to use this charger when I buy the new Nexus 7
Anybody who has this charger? any comments ?

Output seems to be 5W, 2.1 A over two ports. Looks like ~default specifications to me. Should cause no problem.
If you want to double check, take a pic of the output specs that are usually written on the charger and post it. I'll verify.
Its ExtremeMac Universal USB-WAL-11 AC Adapter.

This matches your charger perfectly, so no problems.
You can use the xtrememac charger, without any hesitation.
Wondering if these kind of charger has auto shutoff when the battery is full ? I usually leave my phone charging overnight.

Almost all chargers ( unless they're cheap knockoffs ), have auto-off these days.
That charger looks like it's high-quality stuff and they've claimed support for various other devices in the description too (including LG devices).
I think we can be sure that it has auto-off.
Thanks so much for enlightened me thanks for your help and suggestions.

Understand that, that's over two ports so you use 1 port to charge the phone which is 2.1amp and you'll be charging around 1800mAh so you're going to be fine.

There's a reason this phone has a smaller battery. Therefore they'll use a less amped charger. For instance it takes longer to charge my note 2 than my nexus 4 does. Our LG charger is only 1amp. My note 2 is a 2amp hence 2x faster.

But why would they make it charge slow. I just don't see the benefit in doing that and the charger I use is a galaxy s2 charger. The battery size is not much different.

The output on the LG is 5v, 1.2A and the output on the Samsung is 5v, 1A. It seems the LG is suppose to output more, yet it charges more slowly. I also notice sometimes with the LG charger the phone switch to usb mode.
