I tried the McGyver charging method for my droid x since it was having issues charging and now it seems like my phone won't charge at all. My question is anyone who has done this style of charging before have you ever gotten your droid x to charge normal afterwards?

Last night I put to charge my XT1563 with its motorola charger it dispolayed the message Turbo Charging as always. This morning phone was dead, no signs of charging or recharging whatsoever. After a while of having it connected to a "normal" charger it started again to charge, but hooking it up with turbo charger does nothing, I mean it simply ignores the fact that there is a cable hooked up. I have also noted that my computer no longer sees the phone, whereas before it always detected it and asked what to do with it.
Anybody has had the same problem? My guess is that the battery needs replacing as when I use my motorola charger on my wife phone it pops again the message "turbo charging"...
Any help is appreciated.

Switch your phone off at night and check your battery level the next morning. If the battery can keep his charge no replacement is needed and a factory reset could do the trick.
It does keep the battery level and already did 2 FR - still no turbo charge ,not recognized by PC.
Looking around for FL40 for a battery replacement but cant find one available .....
Personally, I think that a battery that doesn't charge on a certain charger, but can hold a charge once it is charged is not the principal suspect. Check the connector, the cable, the software, etc before replacing the battery.

Lately I've been having issues with my phone and charging. It started with the stock OEM charger getting steadily harder and harder to use.. so I bought an Aukey charger to replace it with and it completely refuses to work on my phone, so I tried another phone and tablet and it works great. I tried my super old Galaxy note 2 charger with a motorola usb cable from my maxx and it works fine... I then tried that usb cable on the aukey QC 2.0 charger and it won't work... tried the same cable again on my phone with the sammy charger and it worked... tried a QC 3.0 aukey wall charger and it won't work... yet I have a QC 2.0 incipio car charger. it was working with the USB moto cable I've had in my car since I got my Bionic... then it just stopped charging my phone, got a new USB and it works great now except the moto usb will work for friends, just not my phone.
I have absolutely no idea what's causing this... I thought maybe there was lint in the charging port so I took a tootpick and cleaned it out, got a small piece of lint, same thing with all the chargers. I can't find anything online, and being a tinkerer I've tried everything I can think of before asking. I'm starting to think the phone itself is having problems and the port is actually bad or there's something wrong in the software causing it to have problems with turbo or QC chargers.
any ideas?
There is a general inconsistency with this device and Quick Chargers... if you look in the Accessories area there are several threads discussing it.
Personally, I use the Aukey QC 2.0 charger for travel with an Eversame premium braided cable and it works fine, yet others use the same combination and it won't Turbo charge or in some cases charge at all.
I also face the same issue. Some USB cables work with my Moto X Style and some doesn't .
i am having an even worse issue and i am sure its a software problem, recently my moto x stopped charging using the moto charger so in the last two months i have 4 different chargers who worked for some time each now it just doesnt work at all, i have cleaned the port numerous times then it just stopped working so when the phone finally died all of a sudden it started charging but as soon as it switched to turbo mode the charge would stop and start over again. i have deduced its a software problem as once the phone tries to go to turbo charging mode it cant sustain the charge and cancels it. amphere even shows its discharging while on the charger , however if it starts charging while the phone is off with a low voltage adapter and turn on the phone once you dont remove the cable it will charge (extremely slowly but it will charge).

FYI... There is no software problem with charging, if there was it would affecting hundreds of thousands of people. And I doubt you have 2 software problems, a bad kernel and a bad bootloader/recovery image, because 2 different things control charging when powered on and powered off.
Issue here is you likely have a high resistance connection somewhere between the USB port and the battery itself, or a bad charging circuit... It's hardware.
while i can understand where you are coming from when the phone is in factory mode (motorola customer care told me to try) its charging fine also turbo charging is working now just it doesnt recognize the sim card. it was a suggestion from Motorola customer service desk, as i live outside of the us they gave me some options to try. they said it was a software glitch where the phone may have gotten an overload from a bad connection and caused the phone to not recognize the charger. however while the phone is off this check is not performed which is why i was getting a lower amp charger to work as the phone did not have to enable the protocol that allows for quick charge/turbo charge voltages.
Hello,i m using moto G4 plus for about 2,3 days now,and its having already nougat in it while i buy it.. The problem is while i charge with the turbo charger its becoming soo hot without any reason..i tried all the possibilities for changing it like,changing the connector port,made phone in airplane mode while charging,but no luck,then also its heating..and now the nmain problem is the ghost screen issue..when i was charging the touch is not responding ,like its moves on like it wishes, but now when not charging also the ghost screen is there while using my phone for sonething the screen works its own..Anyone please helpp.. I have one doubt too if this happens beacause due to the turbo chargger ,can i change the charger and have a low volt charger which can help the phone from heating and ghost like issues.. My turo chatgers details are. ::Input 100-240V -50/60Hz 0.5A
Standard Output: 5V ----1.6A
Then its written, some ,
TURBO 1 OUTPUT:9V----1.6A
TURBO 2OUTPUT:12 V-----1.2A
These ,are the details of the turbo charger if i use a charger with some other specs for charging ,i mean having less volt charger may be the phone will not have the heating issues and all. The another charger deatails are
Input:100-240V---50/60Hz. 0.2A
Output:+5V----1A
Can i use this volt charger for moto g4 plus ..please suggest is there any problem for phone while i use this another charger????? Please help...
You should be able to use that 1A charger without issue, and your phone should be somewhat cooler whilst charging (I use an Apple iPhone charger, which is rated at 5V, 1A, for overnight charging). It'll charge slower than the Turbocharger, but won't heat up your phone quite as much. Ensure this charger is of a reliable brand and in good condition.
As you've noted, the power transferred to your device via the Turbocharger will heat up your device - I've noted the battery appears to reach about 45 degrees Celsius when left to charge. Try not to use your device whilst it's Turbocharging (or if you really need to, try to keep it to light reading), put it on a desk or somewhere where it'll be as cool as possible. However, apart from changing the charger as previously mentioned, the heat is a result of charging the device at a fast rate.
As for ghost touch, you may have to refer your device for service or for a replacement if it persists.
Hi,
My moto x pure started charging really slow out of nowhere
Yesterday when i connected it to the turbo charger the message (turbo power connected) didnt showed up so i thought it had something to do with the cable, i changed it to another but the message still wasnt showing. I also tried with my power bank with turbo charger and it wont show up either.
I can live without the turbo charger, but not with how slow it is charging, in the Ampere app it show that is charging at 400 ma.
Is there something i can do? I already wiped the cache and depleted the battery but the problem is still there. At home i will do a factory reset, but i dont have a lot of faith in it.
Also i havent rooted or unlocked the bootloader, it has android 6.0
The end on your turbo charger cord is worn out most likely.
Its not that, i tried with 3 different cables that i knew already work with turboCharger and still wont charge at a normal speed.
I cleaned the phone usb port but didnt do anything, now i want to try with some isopropyl to see if i can clean them.
Anyone got an idea what could be? I already did a factory reset.

The possibilities are pretty limited... list them in order of difficulty to test:
USB Cord
Turbocharger AC adapter
USB port in phone
Battery
Honestly, I would lean towards 1 or 2, the turbo charger that comes with these devices has been known to be of... umm... less than exceptional quality. Otherwise, it is not unheard of for the USB port in the phone to go bad, and the battery is likely pushing 2 years old.

Moto Turbo Chargers are low quality, mine stopped working 2 months in. So I got a 3rd party quick charger. No problems since.
i have battery charging issues as well!!
Shows as USB charger Turbo charger not working even don't show as AC mode! Basically just don't charge only with PC and USB cable! It's original turbocharger and USB connector is fine because it's working fine with PC!
I already have done 3 factory reset from menu and from recovery menu but no success sadly it's very odd issue! Basically every wall charger appear like "USB Charger" no AC or Turbocharger! But connector is fine because it's working fine with PC!
Nothing appears! Only shows charging next to clock but only about 20-30 second After that doesn't show any charging! But very slowly charging 6-7 hours to full.Maybe it's just a coincidence but 2 days after 7.0 update this issue started! I think that connector is fine because with PC it's working fine and transfer files or charging fine
Same happening here just 2 days ago, anyone find a solution?
I had this same problem from today. Today morning turbocharged by my friend's Moto turbocharger. Today evening I use my 2different turbocharger it's not charge quick and very slow charging...
Same here..stock, never unlocked. On latest updates. XT1575 A0.52
Accubattery shows its getting 247mA from a Samsiung Adaptive charger (which always showed up before as a turbo charger, and does fast charge samsung phones.)
My moto x stop charging (surprise!)and I tried literally everything.
From different chargers, cables, batteries and resoldering a new charging port.
Phone is still working 100%, was able to save data from whatever juice I had left from both batteries.
So before I give up..
I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to charge the batteries directly
