Good morning all.
I have added wireless charging capabilities to the back plate of my LG G3. Charging wireless has been great on the phone. I switched over to CM11 for about a week to check out how stable the ROM is on our G3. I am aware that currently custom ROM's aren't configured to support wireless charging correctly, at least on the Official CM11 Nightlies anyways. So I went back to cable charging while I had CM11 installed.
Now the fun part. I decided to switch back to a nandroid I made of the stock ROM on my G3, which did not have any issues with wireless charging before I had installed CM11. Unfortunately, after performing a nandroid, my G3 still demonstrates wireless charging similar to CM11, i.e. does not charge worth a damn. I performed a full wipe on my phone, including data, cache, system, and dalvik cache, before restoring my nandroid. I'm at a loss as to why I would be experiencing the same wireless charging problems with a nandroid that worked perfectly before I had flashed a different ROM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Extra Info:
Original ROM was rooted. I did not flash a custom kernel.
I installed Invisiblek's Official CM11 Nighty 11/30 ROM.

I thought I read somewhere the wireless charging issue was in the kernel, but I'm not sure stock would even boot on an aosp kernel. Not my area of expertise. Check your about phone and see if everything looks stock.

I find that strange it would give you trouble after a complete wipe and restore, although I am new to the LG phones and havent done a whole lot with it yet, I have always been an HTC guy, maybe try returning to stock with the LG flash tool, re-root etc and see if it fixes it, I am curious because I just ordered my wireless charging pad and didnt get to try it yet.

I took a look at the kernel. It was stock. I went ahead and flashed dragon's custom kernel. I'm gonna leave it on the charger again tonight. Hopefully your advice hits the mark.

Yea, ordered the sticker and pad, I find it stupid as hell they put the pins there for it but Verizon don't give you the capability...wtf?
It seems to be fixed with the custom kernel. Charged fully overnight .
Thanks for the quick responses.

So, a few days ago, I went to unlock my phone to read a text message. Before it would even unlock, the device froze, and instantly started bootlooping. I've tried everything I can think of (flashing several different ROMs/kernels, wiping everything (including the internal data)) and nothing seems to work. Occasionally, it'll boot into the OS, and work properly–but will then randomly freeze up, and continue bootlooping. I can't seem to isolate what's causing it. I first thought it was receiving text messages, which it wasn't. Then, it seemed to do it any time there was audio (aside from startup audio (it's currently got Scott's BAMF Sense 5 on it), which now doesn't seem to be the problem. Currently, I'm thinking it might be because of the USB cable I'm using to charge it, as it started bootlooping upon being plugged in (to my computer, with debugging enabled), but it's still bootlooping even after being unplugged. I don't know what else to try, and have already lost all my personal files on the device, so I'm pretty much down to try anything. I'm S-OFF, with Eng HBOOT. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer.

Flash twrp. make a nandroid. Wipe system and do factory reset. Wipe cache and dalvik. Get a rooted stock rom and install that. If that works, wipe all again(NOT DATA, only factory reset) and flash a custom rom.

I'm already on TWRP. I'll flash the newest version as soon as I can and give your suggestion a try. Are stock, rooted ROMs going to be in the Android Development section? Also, should I try using Zarbos' modified TWRP recovery, since it seems to be more stable with Aroma installs, or just go with the latest stock?
Thanks for the speedy reply.
After installing the latest TWRP (2.5.0.0), and following your directions (flashing 2.06 stock, rooted), it bootlooped 2 or three times, then went into the OS. It's still currently in the OS, but I don't think the issue is fixed, as it bootlooped immediately after flashing the stock ROM. I'll report back if/when it does it again.
Edit: After I unplugged the USB cable from the phone (the other end is plugged into my laptop), it immediately froze and started bootlooping again.
What's truly bizarre to me is, the first time it happened, I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary. I hadn't flashed ANYTHING for weeks. It just started out of the blue, which leads me to believe it may be a hardware issue. It doesn't seem to feel any hotter than normal, so I don't think that's the issue (although, I could be wrong). GAH!! :'(
What kernel are you using? I had tons of bootloops with beastmode underclocked to 192. When I brought the min frequency up to 384 it stopped. I'm assuming you're not using the same kernel every time right?

If you were on a PC, those symptoms would lead me to believe you were sitting on some faulty memory modules. The random nature of the occurrences sounds like hardware.

You mentionioned the bootlooping after unplugging the phone, maybe there's some junk in the phone's micro usb port.
And try a different usb cable, maybe one of the contacts are loose and when you unplug it from the phone it shorts something.

The only kernel I manually flashed during this debacle was Beastmode 4.1 (which is supposed to be stable). Aside from that, the kernels have all been automatically flashed when flashing a ROM, as I'm S-OFF.

I've tried a different cable, so that doesn't seem to be the problem.
After flashing stock, rooted 2.06, I was only able to get into the OS once. I reflashed Scott's Sense 5 BAMF today, and I can get back into the OS, but it's hit or miss. Sometimes it'll bootloop for over an hour, sometimes it'll only do it a couple of times. I'm once again thinking it's a sound issue, though (maybe with the hardware). After I got a text with the volume all the way up, it froze, and bootlooped. When I got back in, I turned the sound off, and it stayed in the OS, until I was driving to work and wanted to listen to music. As soon as I hit play in Slacker (with an aux audio cable plugged in), it froze, and began bootlooping.
I'm leaning towards hardware issue. Perhaps you could just save yourself the trouble and see if you can warranty it with HTC. Of course, then you have the issue of trying to get a phone without the ota.

Out of complete morbid curiosity–since Flyhalf205's CM ROM is 'mostly' working–I'm going to try flashing that.

That's what I'm thinking, too. Although, I'm not super against getting one post-OTA, as HTC has thrown us under the bus, anyways, and released a NEW flagship device. Granted, it might not be coming to Big Red, but I'd rather sell my DNA, and get an S IV, which is guaranteed to have more devs. HTC done pissed me off by releasing the One so shortly on the heels of the DNA. Now, this (probable) hardware issue, and it's not even a year old. I'm losing more and more faith in my once-favorite OEM.
Should I try relocking the bootloader, and RUU-ing it? I guess I'll have to do that, anyways, since I'm most likely going to have to try and have it replaced under warranty... Ugh. t(-_-t)
That almost has to be hardware....on the phone.

Did you flash a stock kernel after flashing stock rom? flash a stock 1.15 rom, flash the newest radio, and flash a stock kernel. Bootloops tend to be a kernel issue. Are you running anything that modifies the kernel(onepowerguard, kernel tuner etc)

No, I didn't. Shouldn't it have flashed the stock kernel with the stock ROM I flashed, since I'm S-OFF? Since I've formatted the device (including data), there's not much on it at all, anymore. I'm not running any tuner apps.

All,
I have a VS985 running Illusion ROM from AT&T with 777 AOSP Kernel since I wanted to use Lollipop on GSM without being bugged by the Call Forwarding Bug.
I bought a QI charging back cover and a local QI charging pad. But there is a strange thing that's happening. Instead of charging the phone, it discharges the phone. I kept it on the charger and the Blue light lit up showing that its charging and it was at 50% when I kept it. After a few minutes it went down to 48% rather than increment.
Any clues why this is happening.
is the screen on when charging ? and also is your charger less than 2000milliamps. if not, you better quickly make a tinfoil helmet just in case.

This is not 100% accurate. From what I see across various forums, the non-Verizon variants seem to have on trouble with wireless charging (regardless of which custom rom they are running).
I have the VS985, and with the SkyDragon custom KKat rom (based of stock G3), and his kernel, I can wireless charge without issue. I haven't found a single AOSP lollipop rom that wireless charing works with.

my post is entirely accurate.
this is the verizon forum, and there are 0 custom roms (aosp/slim/cyanogen based) that have wireless charging working.
skydragon and jasmine are stock roms, thats why it works.
when someone says custom rom, they are generally not referring to stock based roms, because in comparison, there is really little custom about a stock based rom.
aosp, etc. are built from the ground up, with custom software. there is very little stock code used. thats why most stock things cant be transferred directly into a custom rom. the software is a completely different base.
so, you said i was wrong, then said this:

Hi guys,
I have been running CM12.1 but have gotten very tired of not having qi charging. The only ROM I have been able to find that is 5.0+ with wireless charging is skydragon, but it borked my bluetooth with my car stereo.
I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for roms that are 5.0+ with wireless charging. I would even be willing to go back to stock rooted if there was any easily flashable zip that is pre rooted.
Thanks a lot guys!

skydragon and jasmine, or modified stock roms, are the only ones wireless charging works.
Cool, I'll try Jasmine. It should work on stock kernels, but I couldn't get my phone to boot with skydragon unless I selected the modified kernel. I see if Jasmine gives me the same bluetooth issues. I was reviewing the thread for jasmine and searched for charging but I could not find any verification if wireless charging was working. Someone asked, but there was no response.
Thank you!

its stock based, it works, trust me.
Well the wireless charging on jasmine works great just like skydragon. Sadly, also just like sky dragon the bluetooth cuts out constantly with my kenwoord stereo. I'm assuming it's a kernel issue since I have zero problems with the bluetooth on CM12 and 12.1. I guess it's back to my s5 if I want bluetooth and wireless charging to work correctly.
Thanks for the recommendations though!
Hi,
I purchased the qi sticker for my phone cover and it worked fine when I was on the stock rom.
When I upgraded to CM 12.1, it showed that it was charging, but did not charge. Now that I am on BlissPop, the same thing, charging light goes on and it does not charge.
Is this a ROM issue or a QI sticker issue? I did buy the sticker on eBay (not sure how good it is).
Any thoughts or input would help.
Thanks,

Nope, that is an AOSP-based ROM.
Outside of stock, are there any non AOSP roms that work?
So.... you want something that is not based on either stock or AOSP? Forget Qi charging, how would this ROM be created?
I was under the impression that qi charging works with 777jon's AOSP kernel? There is some comments saying that it does as long as you don't overclock. I am back on stock and unable to test right now. Give it a try if you'd like.

Nothing is wiped when flashing a kernel. Just make a backup then flash the kernel.
Edit- If you're flashing the 777jon kernel to test QI charging with it, please report your results.
OK. I installed the kernel and still no qi. You mention over clocking. How do I make sure that it isn't over clocked out of the box? Are there any more steps I need to do?

Darn, I don't think it's overclocked out of the box but clock speeds are adjusted with Synapse app on that kernel.

Qi charging is working on Paranoid Android rom.
So I have been trying various MM roms but have finally admitted defeat and gone back to stock.
For what ever reason mobile signals for Virgin (EE) by us is not great, but the OPx has proved the worst phone I have owned yet with regard to making best use of what reception we do get, (Still have OP1 and S7 owners in the house, so have comparison).
However, all of the many MM roms I tried only made things worse with either weaker signal (or that's how it appeared) or they were unable to handle the swap between Wifi and Mobile, always requiring reboot, once I left the homes Wifi in order to get mobile data working!
It's so bad that I am even considering replacing the phone, but it's hard to find anything else in budget and size with same spec.
Thanks to everyone here who builds these custom roms and all the accompanying support, but for now I will continue with stock until I miss MM facilities too much.

It's just face value which shows yellow line in battery graph as far as I can tell. I do not see any difference now. Transition from wifi to mobile data is fine here. I am using turbo at the moment. Give it a try. If you wanna switch to a new phone, moto g4 plus should be good choice.

Hi, sorry not sure I understand the first part of your reply.
Anyway, the truth is that apart from this recent damned data issue, this is close to the perfect phone for me (seriously couldn't go for anything as large as the g4).
I have owned the OPx since release and though mobile data was never the best, it wasn't as bad as it has appeared this last couple of weeks. I am hoping that I have had a 'perfect storm' of events that led to 2 weeks of poor data connections/transfers. Bad roms, poorly implemented, weak mobile data areas etc etc.
Therefore, I am going to continue with testing different roms and set ups and hope that I can fix the issue, because there is no other phone on the market that comes as close to my perfect phone as the X.
I second Turbo ROM but also try Validius. Using it right now I think they feed it steroids.
For me this solution worked when facing troubles with mobile data on custom roms:
(Re)install the stock rom, backup EFS in Twrp, do a complete wipe, flash custom rom, restore EFS in TWRP, reboot to rom, restore standard settings in APN / mobile data settings, reboot.
It solved my frustrating issues, hopefully it does the same for you!

Many thanks for replying, I had indeed seen your thread and tried the solution, though initially I didn't think it had solved my issue. However, due to there being no other phone I care for, I tried another rom and then reflashed the EFS backup.
And you know what, I think it may just have worked this time.
Thanks for your help and others.

That's the one I'm trying and so far so good
It would be great if someone could create a flashable zip with oxygen RIL to use on any custom ROM. Don't even know if it's possible? Perhaps @RJDTWO can enlighten us, do you have the expertise? ?
Sultan's rom is the most stable regarding cell signal quality and speed. I have tried lots of roms, his rom is the only rom that comes near oxygen, every other custom rom has considerably worse lte speed and signal quality
@cokesucker it needs integration with the rom as far as i know, i think Sultan made the modifications needed for the rom to work with oxygen RIL
Folks, Ive dirty flashed the latest Rom, which I assume writes over the stoc EFS restore I had applied previous version of this Rom
Regardless, the difference in signal (as well as other areas) is noticeable.
I love this phone again, thanks everyone.

This is unfortunately not possible. The RIL itself is built with the ROM.
been on o2os, cm12, cm13 now - never had issues you describe, you can try development settings keep phone data always active could easily solve your issue since data wont never disconnect

I tried most things and thought that occasionally I had solved it by 'forcing wifi' or whatever.
However, because much I what I did was reactionary rather than trying scientifically to identify the main issues, the causes probably got lost in location, reboots, resets, etc etc.
What I can say is that for 2 days, I have been using Sultanas latest Rom and it has worked flawlessly.
Nice, good to hear Bob!
I'm using that rom too, it's a real gem!
(Oxygen EFS restoring was still necessary despite the oxygen ril though)

That's interesting, I'm using "as is", and so far so good. I'm off on travels tomorrow will keep an eye on performance. Any issues and I'll restore stock EFS.
