Oem charger or generic?

I recently lost my charger that came with my l9 and used a friends samsung charger. It charges my phone but my battery will be dead in just a few hours. Same voltage as lg charger. My question is do I need to buy an oem charger or will a generic charger be fine? I also found one on newegg that uses lg parts but the model # is different than original charger, what do you suggest? Anyone have any experiences with this?

I use charger from my kindle. I would buy generic cause it's probably cheaper and imo there is no diffrence.

That's odd ... i don't understand why it wouldn't charge the same as the L9.

The amperage needs to be the same as your OEM charger or higher. If the amperage is lower it will take much longer to charge and may not charge completely if the charging circuit on the device does not handle lower amperage chargers.

I want to buy a genuine fast charge cable. Need help to find it

Hi guys,
I bought a genuine lg cable model no. DK-100M but unfortunately the awg size of the wiring is lower than the cable supplied with the home charger so if I try to use it to charge the lg g2 is quite slow.
Could you please tell me the exact model of a genuine lg cable like the one supplied with the charger capable of doing fast charges?
Thank you!
Why bother and pay much more? I'm using original Samsung Galaxy S4 travel charger and cable and it performs SAME as original LG one. You can have it for few bucks on eBay or Amazon.
I got a Sony charger. It has Fastcharge mentioned on it. It is rated at 2A.
So most 2 Ampere charges from reputed brands will work. When I use the Current Widget, this Sony charges my G2 at 1.6 Amps which is exactly the same as the default LG charger.
I do not need the charger. I just need a fast charge cable.

Even cheaper. Just buy original Galaxy S4 cable...
Is it possible to just buy as spare part a genuine lg cable like the one supplied with the phone? I do not believe that lg does not sell it alone.
I would prefer the lg cable.

Yes. Just contact LG customer service and they'll ship it 2 you for, I believe, $8 + shipping.
u got it all wrong. The charge speed is not determend by the size.
If u What to charge with over 500mah u ned to chortsircut data wires or your Phone just Thinks it Connected to a copmputer usb port. Most chargers have this i The charger. some lowqualety chargers dont. thats Whe o are slowcharging.
mod the cable. (cant
be used as data aftrr)
If it's just a cable, I think it doesn't matter as much.
I tested my old HTC cable and Motorola cable and both are able to fast charge me phone.
Members, you can use this thread for this Topic, btw I use an official Sammy Note 3 charge works great IMO, cheap on Amazon.
Thread Closed.

Looking for an app that tells Charging Speed in mA

With my Note 22 I used an app called "Galaxy Charging Current". Unfortunately it doesn't work on this phone. With the best charger & cable, the Note 2 showed 1800mA charging. I am looking for an App that would give me similar information with the V10.
Ampere seems to work with the V10:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.ampere
currently using Ampere but getting mixed results
I use GSAM Battery Monitor.
with GSam & 35‰ charged it said the charger was charging @ 196mA. If that were so, then the factory fast charger is defective.
With Ampere & 45% charged it said the charger was charging @ 930mA. If that were so, then the factory fast charger is defective.
My Note 2 charges @ 1800mA and does not know what a fast charger is.

I use Battery Monitor Widget Pro. Best I've used so far to monitor battery usage. Haven't actually used it on my V10 but this post just reminded me to install it.

quick charge 2.0 increases voltage to phone and drops the amps.
so a 5v 2.4a charger will put out around 1800mA (1.8a) on a note 2, the V10 with QC2.0 @ 930mA is prob feeding phone 9-12 volts

So fast charge capabilities are screwing around with our battery monitoring apps?
Or rather screwing our perception of speed of charge and ma draw?
Ampere.. been using it for years

Ampere actually broke my "Estimated time remaining" under battery & storage settings. Just would sit on "calculating... please wait."
Uninstalled it and it's back to working again.

So to sum up...
930 on a V10 is "the same" as 1800 on a note 2?
I also came from a note 2 and have been confused as heck trying to figure out if my v10 is charging at a decent rate.
I never have a problem with the oem charger but I was on a car trip and using an external battery pack and also tried plugging in to my car stereo but couldn't figure out how to "read" the charging apps.

Take note that the v10 turns off fast charging while screen is on. And ampere is a gesstimate, no app can give you presice. Need to use a USB Doctor sleeve for better results.
Unfortunately Ampere remeassures every time the screen turns on. I used the paid version widget.
Additional note. Fast chargers and fast charging is not the same as Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0.
A 2.4A charger will not quick charge qc 2.0 LG v10 in this case any faster than an old Iphone cube.
You need a qc (qualcomm) 2.0 compatible quick charger and decent cable. Zerolemon, aukey, tronsmart, Motorola turbo qc 2.0 chargers works great.
The LG v10 is capable of 2400-2850mA. Slightly slower then the Nexus 6, but faster than the G4.
The stock charge that comes with the v10 is qc 2.0 [email protected] or [email protected] max. Some chargers can do 12v, ZeroLemon is one.

Does it matter what cord is used?
I have the Aukey charging station..wish that power cord was longer

Yes in my experience, the quality of the cable makes a difference. I'm not sure if its the actual thickness or connections. I have a 6 foot braided flat cable that doesn't always fast charge on wall charger, but I have a 3 foot flat that does in the car. When I use my better cables it works every time.. I don't know if length makes a difference.
Yes, when I was using my Samsung Note 2 and an app called Galaxy Charging Current you could see the difference in mA. Using an Anker charger and a good cable got it up to 1800mA. It is harder to find longer cables that do not produce a loss. The quality of the conductor (metal /copper) shows up here. I wish that "Galaxy Charging Current" worked on the LG V10.

i use this cable by Zikko 1.5m long and max my note 2 with 1800mA. Also the cable works great with LG v10 and support Fast charging. Not only that the quality of the cable is superb. i broke one when my phone fell during charging and it landed on the the bottom first causing the micro usb from cable crooked. beside that the cable is great. http://www.hersheng.com/sites/default/files/1403253142.jpg

LG FX0 charger specs?

Hi.
I've just got this phone. I was surprised there was no charger in the box (not even a cable) and all the instructions are in Japanese which doesn't help
I would like to know what sort of charger is best for this phone. I am currently using a Moto X charger which delivers just under 1.2 amps. I see many of the later LG phones are using 1.8 amp chargers. I also have a Nexus 10 charger which delivers 2 amps but I decided to use the Moto X charger for now.
Cheers.

Here's the English manual.
Apparently it didn't ship with a charger in Japan either. Both the chargers au sells for it are 1.0 amp.
I charge mine almost exclusively with a 1.8 amp LG charger. Also used that same charger with the Fx0's cousin devices I've owned the Volt and G2 Mini with no issues.

suggestions for a qi wireless charger

Dears, the title says it all: looking for a good inductive charger to be used with the x2 pro. Unfortunately, all the qi chargers I've seen are typically 10 to 15W in output... I assume that a complete charge would require hours.
Is there any better product on the market? I've seen a 20W wireless charger by xiaomi but price is quite high...
It doesnt have wireless charging capability at all.
Sure? I heard about inductive charge capability on the x2 pro, maybe it was just a garbage technical spec page on Web. Can anyone with an iq charger try?
Sadly doesnt work, I even tried it with my wireless charger.
I charge every night with oneplus 5t dashcharge. It's fast enough
If someone gives you a 30min full charge, whay do you need a 2,5 hours charge? This phone is very fast on charging, the fastest one you can get at the moment around 400€, so wireless is a no no for this phone.
Why you need wireless charger when you're using X2 pro?
Well guys, it could be useful at work when you already have other qi compliant devices. A simple pad on the desk and all you have to do is put the phone over it. Who cares about charging speed when you have to spend the entire day at work ?
Anyway, since it's now official that the x2 pro doesn't support inductive charge, any question falls.
