Motorola "TurboPower" quick charger - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any cheaper or better alternatives to it? It has to be bought separately since it is not included in the box.

For me its include on the box. Its the square one isnt?. When i plug in it says Turbo Chargue on.

Not all of them come with it. Kind of lame on carriers part.
Any Qualcomm 2.0 quick charger should work

Oh i didnt know that :/ i bought it directly from motorola.

I got the Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 charger.
Around 10€ @ Amazon. Works perfect with the MXP.

So any qualcomm quick 2.0 charger will have the same functionality and speed?

Confirm that it's working great

Recommend Tronsmart qc2.0 chargers, They are qualcomm certified, and featured quick charge brand.

I just bought a tronsmart QC charger for my car. How do I know if quick charge is working though? It just displays charging still...

On stock, it'll display turbo power connected. If cm, use Ampere from the play store

Hmm OK well I don't think the one I bought is really a quick charger unless my car simply doesn't put enough power out?! It only displays charging and I'm on stock.

Check using Ampere in market.

Charging time
Hi Guys does ant tested how much time it is taking to fully charged from 0%.
Does any one have turbo 25 charger if yes how much it is taking to fully charged with that turbo 25 charger.

I have the same question as sandeep,
how long does the turbo need to charge the bat?
Does the Turbo charger simply has more power than standard chargers, or is there anything else special or proprietary?

More amperage,my turbo charger is 2.4a, whereas standard ones are 1a I believe

There's more to it than just straight amperage in the charging circuit, here is a good explanation of it
http://www.androidauthority.com/quick-charge-explained-563838/
The newer fast charge systems use a stepped system to always give the most amps the battery can take for any given situation. There is actually 3 systems right now (I hate when everyone can't agree)
There is Quick Charge 2.0 (QC 2.0) used by Moto & HTC, 2nd the new USB-C connector has its own spec for fast charge but unfortunately a lot of the USB-C coming on newer devices are only using the old USB 2.0 spec - so no fast charge available. Last but not least One Plus has their own unique fast charge spec.
From what I have read if you have a good USB cable (one designed for charging) and you have USB adapter capable of at least 3.0 amps it might trigger the QC 2.0 circuit in the phone to go into turbo mode but it is not a given fact, more like trial and error.

The phone needs more than 5 hours to charge fully. The quick charger is a must have i my eyes.
I'll order the TurboPower™ 15 now.

Yes, it charges crazy fast. The phone is cold as ice while charging, I'm not sure how you concluded it's harmful.
It's fast because it uses high amps 1.8 to 2.1

The charge is amazing fast, and the discharge is nice and slow!! I love that about my G2.
Does it charge fast only with the original charger or is it the same time with galaxy s4 charger too?
I didnt try i just charge orginal charger which is 1,5 A i have htc charger and it is 1 A i will try it.

the galaxy s4 charger is 2A so maybe it will be faster
Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 is built in to the Snapdragon 800 chip.
From what I've gleaned on the net, even without a charger specifically designed for Quick Charge 1.0, the previous iteration of this technology built into the S3 for example, there is a reduction in charge time. So it might stand to reason that Quick Charge 2.0 would have an improvement in charge time even if the charger supplied isn't a Quick Charge 2.0 spec charger. The two systems, 1.0 and 2.0, are interchangeable compatible, just that a 1.0 device won't get the 2.0 chip benefit from a 2.0 charger. You get the idea.
Apparently 2.0 chargers will be available in early 2014.
So this is at least partially what is driving the fast charge times on the G2, AFAICT.

Quick Charging OnePlus 2 possible with Nexus 6P charger?

Hey everyone, The OPT charger is around 10W (5A x 2V) while the Nexus 6P charger is 25W. Both devices have the same Snapdragon 810 chipset and they both use USB Type-C. Is it possible to get the Quick Charge functionality from the 6P (0 to 100% in around 90 minutes) to the OnePlus 2?
Thanks in advance
No, op2 doesn't have quickcharge built in. You might break your battery.
Energy don't work that way.
Think of your opt charge circuit as if it is a water hose, battery is a little container, charger is the big container.
It doesn't matter how big is the charger container the hose will take the same time to fill the small container.

Couldn't have said it better myself
Quick charge is a built in feature which is not included in op2. So it's not possible to charge it that way.
I believe the snapdragon 810 supports quick charge, however, the OP2 designers chose not to implement it, probably due to the increase in cost associated with upgraded current handling for some parts, but that's a guess on my part.
There's usually no problem with using a larger capacity charger with your phone because they're almost always self regulating. However, it will probably not accelerate charging unless the device supports it.
No it doesn't support it.
My OP2 charges in 1hr50mins to full.. I am satisfied with it.

The nexus devices don't quick charge, they however charge quickly (called fast charging) with the new type C connection via a 15w 5v/3a charger. It's a non proprietary open standard and not a Qualcomm certified type of deal. The question is legit, you could be able to get a quicker charge with the nexus charger.

Yes I know that they don't use Qualcomm Quick Charge but some fast charging that's possible because of USB Type C. So that's why I asked if the OnePlus 2 could also use the ''Fast Charging'' capability from the 6P

Quick charge/fast charge whatever you want to call it won't work, opt circuit/controller is designed for 1A current, it won't demand any more than that.
You can have a custom kernel that tells the controller to not "shutdown" with more than 1A but is your risk and probably won't speed up the charging process by much.
Opt charger is 2A and should be enough to test a kennel tweak, again changing just the charger won't work.

I wonder if it is possible to some how forcefully enable quick charging somehow.

How is OPT circuit designed for 1A?? then why would they make a 2A charger, that makes no sense.
Fast charging on nexus devices is a capability of usb-c, not snapdragon quickcharge.
So I think we need to reevaluate this..
Somebody needs to test with a 3A nexus charger and run ampere.
Sent from my ONE A2005 using Tapatalk
I might be wrong in something.
I used ampere to "measure" the current always tops at 1090mA but with screen on, which also drains juice from charger.
Any way you need a custom kernel like boeffla to change the mA to charge I remember it tops at 2200mA
But a 3A charger like nexus will only supply what the device is demanding (2200 mA)
Fast charging on nexus it's a feature of charger and charger circuit, remember to have a puppies a ***** (female dog) needs to mate with a dog not a cat. You might force different species they could mate but won't breed.
You need any race of dog to have puppies.
The same you need any brand of 5V/3A charger for a nexus and you will have fast charge.
Opt don't have fast charge won't harm to try but don't buy the charger just to test borrow someone's
Sent from my ONE A2005 using Tapatalk
Opt supports 5v 2amp charging on screen off.
Quick charge (Qualcomm quick charge®) is achieved raising voltage and not amperage (up to 20 volts, in qc3) and should be both hardware-supported and software-enabled since is the phone that asks the charger for a specific power level (volts-amps couple).
The real question is: is qc hardware supported on opt, and, if yes, could it be software enabled in some way in a custom kernel or so?

You might blast your USB port if you are overcharging more than 2A.

thanks God someone replied, it's a shame that this does not contribute to the discussion in any way
I found an article that says that you need Qualcomm PMI8994 Power Management IC and SMB1351 (as well as snap 810 SoC) to get quick charge working... I can find the first in many teardown but I can't find the second, any idea? Maybe it has been replaced by another component or is it missing at all?

Quick charger

Evening all,
My Pro been dispatched, and I've just read something to say they might not come with a quick charger as standard. So is anyone confirm please? Cheers
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
It doesn't, as far as I read in all the reviews (my pro in on its way as well). The worse is that i couldn't find any compatible charger with the pump express mediatek technology. In any case, again from the reviews, it appears that the charger the ships with the phone manages to charge it in a reasonable couple of hours
Inviato dal mio Redmi 3 utilizzando Tapatalk
Mine came with a charger labelled "Xiaomi MDY-08-EF" which is allegedly a "high-speed charger" according to http://en.miui.com/thread-105602-1-1.html . Using an external USB power meter it registers up to around 1.8A at 5V while charging, dropping down to lower amps as the phone gets full. The Ampere app doesn't measure current correctly on this phone (last time I tried it anyway) so you can't check it that way.
Thanks I shall wait and see, did see an anker USB cable quick charger on amazon so maybe that's worth a look https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01CJ9OEZG/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_nxxpybGEQ7S20
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
It definitely doesn't fast-charge with Quick Charge chargers, I have two different ones and they don't work (just charge at regular speed).
That's for the snapdragon quick charge standard, the mediatek has its own technology called pump express. That's why the quick charge one won't work except as a "normal" charger

Hello,
I received my Redmi Pro one weeks ago and did some charge test. My Redmi Pro still blocked to 1A : official charger, powerbank Xiaomi, LeEco Pump Express fast charger ...
Do you have an idea ?
Tested with 2 Custom Roms: Xiaomi.eu and Miui-France (French users)
Thanks.
The stock charger is good enough for that 4050maH battery
I know one thing I need something better than the Amazon basic 2.1amp charger which I keep at work. 3 & half hours charge and still only about 75 percent ?

In-car charging while in navigation

Phone was at 100%, plugged in car and fired maps.
After 1h I unplugged it a d battery was at 85%.
Car charger is a 2A branded one.
screen brightness, along with always-on screen during Maps nav, slowed my car recharge rate
It sounds like you don't have a Quick Charge 2.0 or 3.0 car charger. The older "regular" 2A chargers can't charge the 6P or other newer phones fast enough to keep up with Navigation's drain.
Which car charger is everyone using, that support quick charge with the 6P?
Nexus 6P doesn't have Qualcomm Quick Charge Technology... If Nexus 6P charge fast (using stock charger) is because the technology build in in USB type C to type C + 3A power brick.
So you need something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Tron...843&sr=1-9&keywords=USB+Type+C+Car+Charger+3a

Power supply - fast charging

Can someone recommend a USB charger for quick charge that is working with my beloved essential phone?
My current charger doesn't charge the phone any more, so I have ordered a new one, this time showing the voltage in digits. It starts with fast charging, and then quickly lowers the voltage until the phone doesn't loose power at best, but it does not charge anymore. So I'm kind of sceptical to all the intelligence being inside these chargers.
Recommendations for models currently available on Amazon are highly appreciated!

My bad, I updated the first link, originally it was for an open box item, now new.
This is what I bought and it works great.
