Just to stop the confusion and back and forth about this topic.
LG has confirmed that, yes, the G4 does support Quick Charge 2.0. The company tells Pocketnow that while it didn’t set out with plans to support the feature, the inclusion of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 808 processor in the G4 means that the phone does technically support it. The bad news is that the G4’s in-box wall charger doesn’t support Quick Charge 2.0, so you’re going to need a new wall wart — such as the Motorola Turbo Charger — if you want to juice up your G4 in a hurry.

Ok thanks for the confirmation.....
Are there many manufacturers which provides the 2.0 charger with the device?
Yeah the issue was it out of the box it has neither.
To wireless charge you need a case or a sticker. To fast charge you need to buy your own charger. So when a reviewer gets the phone out of the box neither of these are available and that's where the confusion came from. Good conformation nevertheless.
I'm glad there's a thread about it, hopefully it doesn't drive the price higher on the device once officially released They are competing to get Samsung and Apple users for the most part. All these favorable reviews and positive feedback Internet Wide should do the trick.
Honestly I was aiming towards the Galaxy S6 myself but am glad I held off until the G4 was officially out. Unless there's a serious problem with the the device I am 99.9% sure that this will be my next smartphone.
Even current Galaxy S6 users are looking at the G4 and that is saying a lot.

Yeah but the weird thing is I have the nexus 2.0 charger and even with that it doesn't quick charge like my nexus.
I am thinking it will be a software update with changes to the kernel.

Its possible, that reviewer on the video Ive posted could have already updated the software. Do you have another quick charge cable you can try it on, maybe a Samsung one?
LG was surprised themselves its working on their units.
"LG has confirmed that, yes, the G4 does support Quick Charge 2.0. The company tells Pocketnow that while it didn’t set out with plans to support the feature, the inclusion of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 808 processor in the G4 means that the phone does technically support it."
I read that LG said that Quick Charge will be enabled in the software the G4 is officially released with. Since the reviewers have pre-release software they don't have it.
The Android Central podcast said they tried the Motorola Turbo Charger with the G4, but the phone said an unknown charger was connected and to charge at full speed use the LG charger.
So can someone provide a link to turbo chargers or manufacturer and model of charges that support this?
The reason why i assume is that the Kernel doesn't have the feature integrated yet or it isn't enabled
Code:
.method private setQuickCharging(I)V
is in com.lge.services.jar.out\smali\com\android\server\power\PowerManagerServiceEx.smali which i found when comparing the G4 with the G3 frameworks, it is located on line 3100 if you wan't to check it out, however i ain't sure if this is somehow "disabeld" or if it just lies there and waiting for it to be enabled.

So can we all agree - at least in USA - that QC is not actually turned on yet. I kind of thought it would be on, since the acknowledged the chip/phone was capable, but we need to buy our own adaptors. Well, I bought a few QC 2.0 plugs, but I'd say they are doing nothing (I have never had QC 2.0 so not entirely sure what to look for other than "faster" charging - which does not seem to happen). Apparently they acknowledged too late in the shipping cycle to actually update the device to accept QC 2.0. BTW, I have seen companies, even in the ship cycle, send an update to devices so when you got them, they updated when started up.
I've been using my 2.0 charger that I bought from amazon for my Z3 and it is indeed working. phone charges at slightly faster than a percentage point a minute.

Yup its just not active. And the new M feature doze. is a joke its in the framework of Android 5.0 of both G3 and G4 not sure if active though
So.. I'm confused. I got the phone last night and it took like 9 hours to fully charge to 100%.
I don't get my QC 2.0 charger until next week, but ... is it confirmed that it isn't activated?

No simply that the phone's chip supports it but you need the proper charger for it.
It shouldn't take 9 hours even with the out of the box charger, more like 2 hours maximum.
The European H815 will charge at 9V, but the LG G4 draws nothing like the current which other Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 devices do.

I'm reading from other threads that it's normal to have slow charges the first few times..
Is this not accurate? That was literally my first charge.
No phone I have ever owned has charged slowly the first few times.
If you are using the stock cable/charger something is either faulty or they just didn't handshake together properly. I have had that happen a few times, not regularly though.
Like I say using the standard charger it should take around 120mins, you will only save 20mins or so at the moment by using an Aukey charger.

Thanks for the information. Is it safe to assume that this is just a guess or an estimate, since you haven't actually used a QC 2.0 charger on the G4? Or is this proven by your device?
The only reason why I question is because there are a lot of G4 users on QC 2.0 chargers who are stating that they are having great experience with their charge times in comparison to the stock charger.
By stating that it's a 100 min with a QC 2.0 vs 120 min with a 1.8V charger, you're not talking about much of a difference.

The G2 seems to be capable of using Quick Charge 2.0, which is part of the Snapdragon 801 chipset. But with mine I got a basic AC wall charger, and if you read the (literally) microscopic text on it, it says it's putting out only 1.1 amps... which is well short of the at least 2 to 5 amps of many other chargers. So my questions are this:
1. Did anyone else get a higher capacity charger with their retail kit? Mine is a long rectangle bearing the LG logo.
2. If not, is this stock charger really not compatible with Quick Charge 2.0, or am I just reading the fine print wrong?
I've been researching this further, and it may be that LG intentionally shipped a low amperage charger. Because the battery is not user-serviceable, it would behoove them to use a slower charger, since ultra-fast charging harmful to the its life and capacity. The intricacies of rechargeable batteries are many, but the excess heat generated during charging degrades a Li-Ion pack pretty quickly, among other things.
Still, based on the assumption that the stock charger is truly 1.1A, I just bought a QC2 charger -- when I'm out in the field, I don't have time to sit and wait for something to charge at an outlet. I also bought a 10000mAh external battery with a solar panel. The rate at which LP eats juice is no joke.
@voxluna the g2 is using an Snapdragon 800 chipset and it might be capable of doing it but I don't know about it. But the micro usb port also doesn't support it as the additional pins were highlikely for slimport. Also using quickcharge on a device like this is highly risky as the device might not handle it too well. If the stock drains too much I suggest to find the cause of the problem and kill it or use an good custom rom with an good kernel and remove apps you aren't using. Goodluck.

I will dig into the QC2 wiring plan, just out of curiosity. I am confused as to whether an extra USB 3.0 port/pins are necessary (like on the Note 3) or not. Though I believe that plugging a phone into a higher amperage device is not supposed to be harmful. It's too late to cancel the Amazon order, so we'll see.
What I don't know is if my 1.1A charger is what's standard with a retail G2. The reason I asked if anyone else got a different charger is that this phone was a refurb I got from T-Mobile. For example, it came with a cable that I don't think is OEM LG, because it doesn't work with ADB. OTOH, it is possible they just don't implement QC2, like most models don't have the FM radio capability. But, the radio is omitted because carriers don't want it competing with music downloads; as for faster charging, I can't think of a good reason you wouldn't offer that feature.
@wulsic After a little digging, it appears you don't need any extra pins like on the Note 3; a sync+charge cable will suffice. And that makes sense, because the QC2 standard applies all the way from Snapdragon 200s to 8xx. Nonetheless, so far I haven't seen any documentation saying the G2 compatible with 2.0 -- the single LG device listed by Qualcomm is a G4. Crazy, really.
That still leaves QC 1.0, but I have yet find anything that shows the G2 (however, Qualcomm's listing is dated from before the phone came out, so it's not definitive). It may also be that a plain 2A charger, which I do have, can do the job faster than this LG 1.1A. I'll have to do some accurate testing to quantify a difference.
Further research: I came across this thread, a post in which seems to indicate that the G2 can do fast charging. However, I'm having a problem with the current not showing up properly in monitoring apps, which is confounding this entire process.

Guys,
I have the above charger and when my phone had 12% battery left, I connected charger and when in standby, the bar showed 1 and 40 min to fully charged. By the way, when tested with Ampere app it shows 2120 mA while charging. Does this sound correct when using QC2.0 Certified Charger?

This charger works fine. I use it every day.
To answer your question though: http://www.amazon.ca/Qualcomm-Certi...170571&sr=1-4&keywords=aukey+quick+charge+2.0
and
http://www.amazon.ca/Qualcomm-Certi...170571&sr=1-6&keywords=aukey+quick+charge+2.0
It suppose to support quick charge.
It has the slowest quick charge out of any QC 2.0 devices I've owned.
1.5 hours to reach 100 from 20%? that's not even close to something like LG G4 which uses the same chip and the battery is only 400mah larger on the priv.
It does support quick charge but it doesn't work right. For one, the quick charge time is slow compared to even older phones like the nexus 6. The other issue is that quick charging causes overheating which I suspect is why the phone charges so slow.
So this is currently going on right now...
It's been going on for the past 2 hours, going from "only the original OEM Charger supports 3.0" to now "V20 isn't on the list of QC3.0 compatible devices"
I'm at lost.

***UPDATE 11:20AM CST: It now goes to "It does come with the technology, but our software doesn't have it enabled."****
***UPDATE 11:51AM CST: A new agent stepped in and deflected question directly to LG support team****
My QC 3.0 car charger from Aukey, doesn't trigger on the V20 when using the QC 3.0 port. It does on the Pixel XL, but not the V20. I don't have another charger to test with though.
V20 doesn't have QC3 I'm pretty sure. I remember reading that it supported QC2, and some other blend of an LG tech. Honestly, QC2 is good enough for me.
I bought a 3.0 charger from Amazon and my V20 changes the indicator to green. Green is 3.0, blue is 2.0 or I guess even 1.0.
However as the phone gets to 80% iirc then the switches to blue.
So I'm guessing that 3.0 works.

it should show you the info regarding the charging status on the bottom, let me know what it says on "High Voltage TA Status".

I have the LG G5 and the LG V20 and they both use my Qualcomm Quickcharge 3.0 charger and data plug and they both charge using 3.0, and judging by the speed at which it charges, it has to be 3.0
But I am still using the data sync cable and the charging block that came with my phone.

Not planning to use this phone for more than 2 years so that's not so much of a concern especially since it's removable. (actually, I'll be more surprised if it doesn't bootloop within 2 years...)
Once you've experience 3.0, you don't want to go back lol. On the Axon 7, it's BLAZING fast. Like ridiculous fast. I could go from 0-100 in less than an hour.
But the more pressing point was that I could still charge while screen was on, not so much on the V20.
Can i use a quallacom quick charge charger rated at [email protected] (i guess what turbo power gives is 9v at 1.67A)
P.s both give charging current of nearly 2500ma in ampere app,my original moto charger is not wrking and i am out of warranty
Yes I use my samsung charger (9v 2amp) on my G4 all the time shows as turbo charger when plugged in.
Yes, you can use a QC 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0 charger with this phone... although I would HIGHLY recommend only using a QC 3.0 charger if possible, it is much better at delivering variable power needed for quick charging and controlling temperatures in the battery. When you use a QC 1.0 or 2.0 charger, the phone has to step down to that version, which will still charge faster than a "standard" charger, but it will increase battery temperatures while charging significantly which over extended use can reduce the overall life and capacity of the battery.

I don't think you understand, there is no charger specifically for the SD625 or any other chipset... this is merely Qualcomm's Quick Charge technology, but Moto/Lenovo didn't want to pay the licensing/royalty or whatever else to call it that, so they call it TurboPower. I have a Qualcomm QC 2.0 adapter here at my desk and if I connect it, it clearly says "TurboPower Connected".

Again, I don't understand what you mean. The SD625 support Quick Charge 3.0, but the charger supplied with the device is a QC 2.0 compliant adapter that is labeled "TurboPower", at least in the US. If I connect a Samsung GS7 to the Moto charger, it shows Fast Charging as well.

Honestly? I'm guessing it's a royalty or licensing thing, they can't say "Quick Charge 3.0" because they didn't pay the fee.

Have you ever tried the Quick charge 3.0? Some users report that quick charge 3.0 doesn't work. I haven't tried it coz I don't have the QC 3.0 charger

Dude, don't double post. It's a waste of space, time, and creates pointless threads.
QC3 Chargers can use QC2 to charge devices. Whether or not the phone supports it is irrelevant.

I'm just asking coz QC 2.0 charger is cheaper then QC 3.0 charger
And both will work fine. A 8 second Google search will tell you this. Try looking before asking!

I know, I know but Acejavelin said: "I would HIGHLY recommend only using a QC 3.0 charger if possible, it is much better at delivering variable power needed for quick charging and controlling temperatures in the battery."

Ok, using "highly" and "much better" here might have been a bit overkill... From 1.0 to 2.0 the difference is huge, from 2.0 to 3.0 not so much, especially on a device like this that isn't drawing a ton of current consistently.
Is a 3.0 charger better for the longevity of the battery, and thus the device, over the long term? Yes. Is it significant enough to pay the extra over a 2.0 charger? That's your call... After a year or so of consistent use it might not even make a significant difference in battery life, it may add a month ot two to the longevity of the phone over it's lifespan, no one can say for sure because each case is unique.
My chargers, except car chargers, far out last my phones, I've had the same charger on my nightstand for 4-5 years now (seriously, it's from a Blackberry Playbook) so it's an investment...
I don't understand the issue here... A good QC 3.0 charger is a few bucks more than a 2.0 charger, and if you look you can get one for $10-$12, so is two or three dollars worth worrying about this?
If you are just concerned about what is best for the battery, never use a quick charger at all...

That is my charger at work... If you have a QC 2.0 charger, don't bother getting a new one. If you are buying one, get a 3.0 one.
I know this thread is a little dated and I'm a late comer to this thread, but I just bought the g5 plus on a black friday deal at best buy $300 down to $225, US xt1678 variant, 64gb storage and 4gb ram, I jsut could not resist it for that price, and....it was actually cheaper than the 32gb storage 2gb ram variant which was listed at $229
Anyways on to my question, this is for acejavelin. You said your qc 2.0 worked and came up as showing turbo charging (not just normal charging)? I hope I am reading this correctly. Also is this one of those Qualcomm® Quick Charge 2.0 chargers, that's what I was looking at buying for my car and was curious if it worked. Just checking to make sure I'm reading the thread correctly.
I recently just bought a 2.1 fast charge lighter plugin, but guess what, it doesn't turbocharge only normal charge. I tried with the cord that came with the phone, as well as 2 other cords and still only normal charge for each one.
Now with my wall charger (the provided turbocharger that came with the g5 plus) in the house, all 3 cords work and show as turbocharge as long as I am using the provided moto turbo charge wall charger.
I also was curious and tried an old samsung charger that I used on I think it was the s4, last samsung I owned lol. With my nexus 5x which has USB-C worked wonderfully with it, but sadly turbo charge does not work so well with the samsung wall charger, because it does not show as turbo charge, but only normal charge on the g5 plus.
I just got the Verizon LG G6 and have been testing out the charging. I can't get it to charge about 800Ma using any chargers. Yes, I have quick charge 3.0 capable charger and cable that I've used on other devices and gotten 1500+. Could my G6 be defective or do others have such paltry charging?

QC works only with your display off.
Even without QC, my previous phone, a Galaxy Note 3 would get 1200-1500 Ma as measured through Ampere. The G6 is getting 500-800.
Yeah, this thing is going back. 3:14 to fully charge (screen off the entire time) using a proven working QC 3.0 charger.
What is “QC 3.0 proven working charger“?

Read the OP please.
I did read his post very carefully. He stated that the charger has “proven QC3.0“ capabilities.
But never mind, I'm out.

"Proven" as in I've used this charger on several QC 3.0 capable devices without problem.
I tried another one and the same thing. At best, this phone has been getting about 1/2% per minute charging no matter what charger I've used. It has a GPS issue as well. I've already begun the return process. Just waiting on my new phone, a LG V30.
