Hey guys,
I just plugged my note 4 into my car charger (anker charger, oem note 4 cable) and couldn't get it to charge. It charges my note 3 no problem.
I also have no problems charging my note 4 with wall chargers.
Any help?
I've got the "Anker® 18W / 3.6A Car Charger with Built-in Micro USB Cord for Android" and it's actually CHARGING my Note 4 when using GPS navigation and playing music! My Note 2 wouldn't charge, but it would hold charge under the same conditions.
What model charger are you using?

I actually can't find it on the charger itself or even Amazon. It's relatively new, I thought it was a 2.0/2.1 amp charger (2x USB). Definitely Anker though.

Are you using both usb's at the same time? If so, it's splitting the power, so you'll get a slow charge.

Sorry, I should have specified - the only thing plugged into the charger is my Note 4.
Shoot, maybe I just need to grab another charger. Thought I made a good decision with that Anker.
Thanks for your reply by the way

If you get the one I listed, it works for sure. Great charger and it's been the only one my wife hasn't been able to destroy. :laugh:
Will the car charger also do the 50% in 30min charging ?

Hmm.. this mentions rapid charging, I wonder if it's as fast as the wall charger
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECA-U21CBEBXAR
The only chargers that work with the new fast charging technology are ones that are purpose built and have the ability to switch between 9V and 5V,they are quite uncommon.
I have this charger http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D82O68Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and it charges my note 4 while running Waze and tethering my Radar Detector via Bluetooth (which also uses GPS)....and it charges my wife's S5 at the same time
Using an afer market 2.1a charger and an S3 cable, charges just fine.

I believe Samsung has stated it's a 9v charger instead of the conventional 5v charger.
Did some more research and found this:
http://www.incipio.com/chargers/car-chargers/quick-charge-2-0-single-port-usb-charger.html#
From the Engadget review, "I clarified with Samsung that it chose a proprietary solution instead of licensing Qualcomm's QuickCharge tech, but it insisted that you could still use QuickCharge 2.0-compatible chargers to achieve the same results."
Also from http://www.samsung.com/sa_en/support/skp/faq/1063730?CID=AFL-hq-mul-0813-11000170
[FAQs] Smart Phone : Galaxy Note 4- To use fast charging, what kind of charger should be used?
Fast charging uses battery charging technology that charges the
battery faster by increasing the charging power. The Galaxy Note 4
device supports Samsung’s Adaptive Fast Charging feature and
Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0.
To use Fast charging on your device, connect it to a battery charger
that supports Adaptive Fast Charging or Quick Charge 2.0.
Hope that helps someone, credit goes to the users over at http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...-charger-supports-fast-charging-note-4-a.html
So I my moto charger got destroyed by my dang dog and I'm using a Samsung Fast Charger that came with my wife's note 5. It just says "charging" and its still very slow. It's 2.0a at 5v I believe or 1.6a at 9 or 10v. Yet its still slow. Any recommendations? On marshmallow.
Can anyone help shed light on this?

That's not a qc charger. Hence the slow charging. It's 5v only whereas quick chargers also do 9 and 12 volt.

I don't think the Samsung ones use quick charge 2.0. Even though the galaxy s6/note 5 can use quick charge 2.0 capable charger. I think they use a proprietary Samsung fast charge tech in their own chargers.
So it would charge your phone but at the regular 5v2a. I would recommend getting a quick charge 2.0 capable charger. I have a couple from tronsmart and they are great.

Well I've used the Samsung charger and it says "5v @ 2.0 and then says 9v @1.6. I have it hooked up but its so very very slow. I'm getting 2% charge every 30 mins or so. I ran ampere and I'm getting 3.7V and its stuck on " charging via USB". Anyway to change that from USB to AC? THANK YOU guys for chiming in. I have 6 cords and 3 bricks, 2 Samsung and one of.
My note 4 chargers power charges my MXPE and fast charger.

It's showing 'usb charger', which should be very very slow...
you sure you are connected to a wall charger?
It should say 'AC Charger'
I have the power brick in the wall and cable running from it to the phone.

Not if it's the typical 5volt 2amp version. Couple that up with the fact the moto X pure is picky about what quick chargers even work with it period and you have a harder time finding one that works.
Start by reading this thread.. then get yourself a replacement that has been reported to work with this phone.

I have the Aukey quick charger as my office spare, and it works quite well. Not as fast as the motorola turbo charger, but quite faster than regular 2A chargers.
Guys or ladies, got a new charger from Motorola and it charges "charging USB" and its slow as hell charging. Any ideas? Stock marshmallow.
I got a new Motorola fast charger sent to me but I plug it in and I get "charging over USB" and charging very slow. Why? Stock marshmallow.

If it isn't the Turbopower 25 like this one then that's your problem. The phone might not be getting enough voltage.
Link is dead but its this one
Any one else have the problem when u plug in with the charger that lg provides you get a pop up that says slow charging check connection and use charger provided... I get that notification but if i use my nexus 6p type c charging block everything works fine..

LOL i was about to say. Go to Tmobile now and tell them so that they can give you a new one. Because despite i have 35 apps up and running, and i have done a lot today, my phone gets charged in about 1 hour and 15 minutes (pretty decent if you ask me)
May I ask what is the Voltage and Ampere rating for the stock charger?

9.0v = 1.8; & 5.0v = 1.8a
I had the same thing happen to me the first time I plugged it in...
That said, I found my quick charge 2.0 charger charges it faster than the charger in the box, so I am thinking of buying an official 3.0 quick charger.
That stock charger doesn't look like it's variable voltage that qc3 requires

I know. Im using my own charger with 5v and 2 amps. And it charges very fast with it. With the other it does charges fast. But not as fast as this one
The supplied charger is like a QC1.0 version, it's not even a QC2.0, it doesn't have the 12V, this is the same with the V10 and the G5 which is supplied with the same charger.

Theoretically speaking I charge the other battery in the spare battery charging dock. So when I swap the dead battery out it only takes 30 seconds or so to have a full charge on my phone. No more tethering my phone to the wall.

I have an Anker QC 3.0 charger and last night, it charged my V20 from 6% to 100% in about 1 hour.

Measured at the wall, my OEM charger refused to charge over 2.7 WATTS - 2 point 7 - when the battery was at 15%... what the eff? Not that I care, because the charger is junk anyway, but sheesh! Makes no sense...
Also, the charge current drastically drops any time the screen is on from what I am seeing, as pictured below.
Also what makes no sense, and 2 reviewers on Amazon commented the same issue, Anker's PowerPort +1 Type C QC 3.0 charger doesn't work with this phone. I couldn't get it to go over 12 watts with the screen off even though I tried 4 different cables (Anker, i-Orange, i-Rainy, OEM Pixel XL cable). Interestingly, the Pixel XL OEM charger peaked at 19.2 watts! Really interesting actually... don't know how it's doing it, since it's USB PD, but it does have the proper voltages. It's charging the phone pretty damn quick. Even at 68%, it's pulling 14 watts right now as I type.
Every time I charge my phone it only goes up to 95%. I leave on the charger all night while I'm sleeping and it never reaches 100%. Was wondering if anyone else has had this issue as well?
No problem here. Try different cable or charger or both

Run the battery down to almost empty. Then power off and recharge. I know someone who had the issue and he just needed to drain his battery.
Nope, me or my wife (same phone) have had that problem.
Check the AC adapter and cord.
If all check out, return phone ASAP

That's a sign of a bad battery or a problem with the charger or USB cable. If you have any old chargers and jab cables lying around (even if not QC3.0) try one of them. If that still doesn't fix it, then you have a defective battery.

I'm having the same problem, I've used the stock charger and cable and a belkin cable as well, also plugging it into my trucks USB port. I can only get my battery to 92% no matter which method I use.

Skip the overpriced turbo charger which will not yield better performance on this device. Fastest uptake is around 1600mAh which is well within reach of any reasonable 10W charger. A few higher end devices support Quick/Turbo charging (including the G4/G4 Plus) which allows the battery to briefly accept a higher charge rate for a quick 15 min boost (say from 60-80%). Otherwise they perform the same as standard chargers. Score one for the marketing department if you buy in for G4 Play which technically has the hardware to handle turbo charging; however, by all accounts (and my observations) it is not enabled by Motorola...likely due to the run-of-the-mill battery in this device.

I've used the turbo charger that came with the moto g turbo and it charges noticeably faster(also gets hotter).
The battery once fully charged lasted the same amount of time for me with both the stock and the turbo charger, so no problems there.
