LM7805 will go into current limit. The only reliable way to get more is to use an external pass transistor.They can go above 1A with a beefy heat sink.

By the way would you mind where in the circuit that you provided the current 1.5 Amp is generated? just for my understanding...how is the circuit produce that much amount of currentThey can go above 1A with a beefy heat sink.
that's a weird spec for a regulator.based on the datasheet it should produce at least 5 volt or a little more like 5.2 volts..
Did you read any of the responses already posted to this thread?that's a weird spec for a regulator.
can you show a screen shot of the datasheet?
I have another question is the capacitor exact rating 330nf and 100nf are compulsory? because i dont have with those rating...can i use anything small or larger capacitance
LM7805 will require a heat sink if high currents are drawn.
Those values are optimum according to the datasheet, but as you have seen, the regulator will often work without them. 100nF caps are used very often across the power pins of ICs, are not expensive, and you should get some to have on hand. One of those on the input and another on the output would be better than nothing.I have another question is the capacitor exact rating 330nf and 100nf are compulsory? because i dont have with those rating...can i use anything small or larger capacitance
Today finally i tested your circuit...using 9 volt battery and the output is way too far off what i've expected. It's only output 3 volt...However using 16 volt to 18 volt it does provide 5 volt...so i think 9 volt is not enough to charge a phone using the circuitPretty much any value capacitor will work as long as its not too large and small in ranges of pF.
9V battery is just 6 AAA batteries in series. it has very little current, and that's why your voltage on 7805 was low. If you connect few 9V batteries in parallel, it will work just fine.Today finally i tested your circuit...using 9 volt battery and the output is way too far off what i've expected.

Its interesting i tested using a different cable and it is now generating 5 volt i am very happy and thank you all...my questions is answered perfectly9V battery is just 6 AAA batteries in series. it has very little current, and that's why your voltage on 7805 was low.

I stand corrected..@bushrat , actualy they are even smaller as AAA.

Thank you mr.software despite of your late reply but it is not wasted and very useful info for me.I'm late to this one, but I used this voltage reference in a proof of concept device and it was extremely accurate:

The data sheet has an example circuit that uses an external transistor to boost current capacity of the circuit.
