I got an OEM Qi backplate and charging base for Xmas and was super excited to use it. I haven't had wireless charging since my Palm Pre and have sorely missed it. Get everything laid out and ready to go, drop my phone, and it states it is charging and the pad confirms power is flowing. Come back on hour later; not only did it not charge, it ran my battery down faster than it would if it sat idle. So I try it with the LG OEM charger and cable. Once again, no dice, but at least it didn't run it down faster than at idle.
For grins, I found a friend who has a stock VS985, and tried the same exact charger and cable with my backplate. Of course it works. I searched high and low, far and wide on Google to no avail on an answer why CM11 fails to charge wirelessly.
Here's what I've got:
- VS985 running CM11 nightly 20141225.
- Anker Wireless Qi Base.
- LG OEM Qi backplate, charger and cable.
Any ideas what I can do to resolve this? TIA.

I just got my LG G2 yesterday. I also have a Nexus 7 2013 and an old Galaxy Nexus. I have a Nexus 7 charger at home and work. I have a modified Fast Charge 2.0A Car charger.
My N7 and GN could "AC" charge off of all of them. The G2 is "slow" charging off all of them. They are all 3 different models of chargers, all above 2.0A so there is plenty of oomph to get it the power it needs.
So whats up with that?
I just tested it. It isn't the Charger but the damn cables. Does LG have some kind of funky pinout for the charger?! Using the supplied cable, it is working on all of my other chargers. If I use my old cable it "Slow Charges" even with the included LG USB Charger.
So something in that cable is altering the amount of power it gets. That SUCKS!
My Nexus 7 will AC charge off the LG Cable. So it's something with that cable that the G2 likes.
LG is notorious for changing stuff around. On the G2x they flipped around the headphone control pins and came out with an additional headset for extra $$ which rendered every other headset with music controls useless. So basically now I have to go and replace all of my USB cables with something LG likes (which will almost be impossible to order something online). Anyone else having issues with other chargers? Luckily it IS taking a charge but just at USB speeds (Slow charge). I use Qi Charging at home for at night, so that isn't an issue but in my Home Office, Work Office, and (especially) my Car I need a fast charge. In the Car, using GPS with the screen on will still deplete on USB power. A fast charge is the only one that can still charge the battery under a heavy load. Similar to watching a movie probably.
All my USB cables woks fine. I would use the included Amazon Kindle cable since it is easily the longest cable with out issue. However older cables do have the problem you described but I suspect it isn't something LG specifics but rather the amount of pins connected in the cables.
-LG G2
I found that my Samsung cables from my S4 and Note 2 work fine with the G2, but any of my other cables, whether they be the cheap $3 ones, ones from other phones, or expensive ones, only charge at the slow rate. I'm hoping we can get a custom kernel that removes that restriction.
So it charges a little slower. Is this a major issue? If so, use the charger provided. Failing to see the problem here.
Maybe its just me. I get that a lot.
My Note 2 2A charger and USB works just fine. If not faster.

Have you tried going to settings>general>PC connection and setting "charge phone" there, as the phone limits the current allowed through if it's on MTP because MTP simply can't handle it.

I have the same problem OP. if I don't go to bed early enough for slow charge to feed this monster battery I wake up below 100%. It really isn't that big of an issue because the battery lasts anyways but I don't like leaving home below 100%.

The Problem is that it is annoying. Not only is it charging "Slower" but also throw a icon up in the Status bar that you can't dismiss that says "Slow Charging. To Charge faster, use the original charger".
But I want to repeat that it is NOT the actual charger but the USB cables. It WILL fast charge (aka normal charge) using all of my various chargers WHEN I use specific USB Cables. Most of my cables will only slow charge, which is equivalent to a USB trickle charge that can't even charge it fast enough to power the screen. If you use the device in this mode, it still loses power with the screen on.
It just seems there is something in the cable itself that is either not connected or passing through the info to turn up the faster charging. I know the cables are Power+Data cables because I use them for ADB and MPT.
Most cables are not working. I've found a few that are. Unfortunately my 10ft desk cables and my curly car one is NOT working.
The Original Nexus 7 was picky about chargers. It wouldn't even see my car charger where my Galaxy Nexus and New Nexus 7 2013 both show AC (fast charge).
I think the difference between a slow charge and a fast charge is something like 0-100% on fast charge is 3 hours where it's like 9-10 on a slow charge. THAT is the problem.
Update:
Seems this is a legitimate case regarding the Verizon LG G2s AFTER they've received the latest OTA update. It will only charge normally on the included cable. All other cables will result in a Notification that the phone is "Slow Charging" and charges only on 500mAh. You cannot dismiss the notification. Which is the annoying part.
Current ongoing discussions are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2460881
As of this posting, it affects all Verizon G2 users and there is no solution. We suspect it is just a Verizon bug. No other cables will charge normally.
No. Mentioned in that thread, my car charger from Verizon charges at ~1000mA. Long, curly, and thick. The new one with the LED and shorted pins. Attached cable and USB work on said charger. The problem is AWG, short, and voltage drops. I have yet to find a working usb cable though.
Mine (D802, EU model, GB variant):
- Belkin Charger 2.1A, N7 2013 cable -> slow charging
- N7 2013 charger + N7 2013 cable -> fast charging
So it's not just the cable; it's also dependent on the charger.
The voltage drop in the cable will cause the phone to draw a substantially lower charge. Therr doesn't seem to be anything unusual about the cable other than it being unusually good quality, being thick and short.
When charging, it's important having a charger with the data pins shorted, but I think most wall charger are. The slow charge warnings are something special in the Verizon models, I only get a slow charge warning when It's actually slow on my d802.
It will appear as though there is a difference of what will happen if there is a voltage drop in the cable based in your carrier model, but the hardware which charges the phone should be standard, albeit probably better quality than most other chargers.

I stopped worrying about cables, adapters, etc by using a TYLT VU wireless charger. It chargers both my Verizon lg g2 and my Nexus 7-2013 fully and quickly. My g2 takes only 2-3 hours and my Nexus is in a leather case.
No wworries, just lay either one on its 45 degee angle platform and forget about it. Truly a wonderful charger.
I have a Samsung Qi Charger. I don't worry about it but there is a software bug with the Verizon model since the OTA update. Another thread listed above tells of the details.

the solution is simple. just shortcircut data+ and data- and it will fast charge.
hopefully som Kernel hacker can build us a new Kernel. when the phone detect data connection it goes to 500mah. if u chortcircut them 1a+

This is NOT the case. The Verizon variant is very picky and requires a 24g USB 3.0 cable or else it will force slow charging at 500mah.
There is a whole thread with findings thats like 30 pages long. The Verizon model is not behaving like the other variants, so unless you have a Verizon model with the latest OTA and have personally tested and found a working solution, then you need not comment.
This thread should be closed so random uninformed persons stop making false accusations. This thread was started over a real problem but didn't take off. Another thread was created that did, and it is linked above. This is a real problem with a real solution. All real findings and discoveries are listed in that active thread listed above.
This should be a place holder for searches but needs no new comments. Please direct all comments to the other thread linked above.

If I were using a crappy charger I would understand, but this is so strange. Any suggestions? Perhaps apps that force fast charging? I am new to the rooted scene... Thanks!

Rooting has nothing to do with it.
Either the phone is bad or your cable/charger.

i just got my G3 today and i am seeing a similar issue.
while setting up for about 2 hours, i gained maybe 4%.
turned off, it looks to charge pretty quick, went from 58% to 78% in less than a 1/2 hour.
while the screen is off, it seems to do, ok, not sure i would call it fast. gained 7% in 20 minutes.
i appreciate any thoughts, even if its a "mine isnt slow like that".
i bought it new from swappa (new), and need to figure out if i have an issue.
Thanks
Try to find an original lg charger man the g3 is the pickiest phone I've ever had with chargers(and cable) , everything except the oem charger that I've tried does the slow charge or the not charging thing. I have tried other quality chargers with it as well and they are slow so just try and get an oem one and see if that fixes the issue

those results were with the oem charger included in the box, also similar results while trying my g2 oem charger.
If it's charging slow with the oem cable charger combo it's a possibility it maybe a defect in the charger but again it maybe a hardware issue, get it swapped thru warranty if you can.

Very odd results here...
My Verizon LG G3 charge was quite low last night, so I plugged it into an LG OEM 1.2amp charger with a Samsung cable. It told me that setup was not supported, and it refused to charge At All, so I changed the cable to a gold-plated Monoprice one (excellent cables...I bought 10). No difference, still would not charge at all and it was down under 10%, so I was getting worried.
Then, on a whim, I plugged in an old HTC 1.0amp charger with the Monoprice cable. Fast charge ! Switched in the Samsung cable, still fast charge !
Less amps, not OEM, but fast charge. No charge at all from the LG 1.2amp charger, which was either from my N5 or N7.
All combos worked at A/C charge speeds on my Nexus5.
After the G3 charged for a while and got up well out of the Danger Zone, I plugged it back in to the combo it had previously told me was incompatible and refused to charge from. Now that it was at 50% or so, that same combo charged the G3 without any complaint !
It is beginning to look like there is some flaw in the G3 charging detection circuitry, where it will refuse to charge when very low from a charging combo that it will charge from just fine if it has more battery available.

From what other users have told me the G3 is just very picky when it comes to what charger you use. Mine is the same way. My Sammy charger from my S4 will only charge the G3 slowly.
Something on the Kernel side of things is my guess. It's not something that's terribly wrong with the phone... Just a pain in the ass.

My Samsung charger cable does the slow charge thing on my g3 as well.....yet this dinky cable I had to buy at a rental c as r counter after forgetting my cord on a trip works perfectly. Some cables I bought at 5 below won't work at all....but worked fine on other phones.

I'm using the stock cable but off my Macbook Pro usb 3.0 port. When using the phone it does not charge but actually drains the battery (very slowly). How do I determine if the phone is good to keep?

Also depends on what you are doing on the phone. Get a high quality cable.
Hey Guys
I'm in love w/ my LG V30, except I think my phone might have a major fault - it can't charge wirelessly. I have a samsung quick charge charging pad, which was able to wirelessly quick charge my S7E. When I put my v30 on it, it acknowledges that it's charging, except that it doesn't actually charge the phone at all... the phone battery actually drains over time.
Now, I read somewhere it doesn't support wireless quick charging, which is a shame, but putting the phone on a samsung wireless quick charger shouldn't DRAIN the phone, should it?
Is there a difference between a samsung wireless charger vs a generic qi-enabled charger that is causing an issue here? I really don't want to return the phone bc everything else seems to be working perfectly.
as a confirmation, I went and bought a generic qi charger on amazon just now. luckily they are cheap. Going to check if its something to do w/ my charger... but I never had issues w/ my S7E and this particular charger. Frustrating.
FWIW .. working fine on mine. Generic charger from Amazon
Just confirming that wireless charging is working with my V30 and the TYLT Wireless Charger.
https://www.amazon.com/TYLT-Wireles...sr=8-1&keywords=tylt+vu+wireless+charger&th=1
Last night I placed the V30 on the charger on my nightstand at a 28% charge and woke up this morning to a 100% charge. So I'm not seeing any issues wireless charging after my first night with the phone.
I'll test it on my wife's Samsung wireless charger later on.
well fml. I went to work and plugged my phone into my USB-C charger, the phone wouldn't charge at all. It was plugged in, battery properties said "plugged in - not charging". Something is up with my phone.
I restarted the phone, and now it seems to be charging fine via the USB-C charger, but I don't like this one bit. I shouldn't have to reboot my phone to get it to properly take a charge. Once my new charger arrives i'll test it. If I get the same results, I'm returning this phone for a replacement, which sucks.
FWIW mine charges wire-lessly just fine on my Samsung charging pad...
got my hands on another samsung wireless charger (non fast-charge model).
It's the flat hockey puck model. Fortunately, it appears to be charging now. So it looks like strangely something has gone wrong w/ my other wireless charger. I will continue to monitor this issue closely, but it looks like wireless charging is okay on my phone, and it's some sort of fluke issue with that particular charger. If anyone else sees any strange issues w/ wireless charging, please report. Perhaps we can narrow down the problem... if it's phone or charger related.
I would be quick to blame the charger, but as far as I know, the charger worked just fine w/ my S7E for the longest time.

Good to know that version works. Got a couple of free ones when I got my S6's.
Hey all,
So I read these forums for a bit, and I saw that the LG V30 can do "fast wireless charging" with a 15W wireless charging dock. Immediately I bought this bad boy:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HD38582/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And it doesn't seem to work. It will blink red, then blue, charge for about a second, and then blink red again. Doesn't seem to matter if it's my case or not.
I'm on the Pixel Dust rom, using the latest vendor from LOS 15.1.
Any way I could test this?
It works fine on LG Stock ROMs for you, right ?

I found out the problem was a ****ty product. I plugged it into my wall adapter and usb cable and it worked just fine, though much slower than they were advertising.
Does anyone have any measurements in Accubattery for a "15W" wireless charge?
Edit: After reading these forums for about an hour, I've come across the truth to wireless charging on this device:
-This phone is capable of 15w wireless charging, however it heats up too much and instantly throttles to 5w (or lower)
-The Anker Powerwave has a max of 10w, but with the internal fan actually charges faster than "15W" chargers
Truly weird. Anyway, anyone searching, that's the truth as of 21NOV2018
I am trying to charge my LG v60 tmobile in my 2021 Prius prime. it has magnetic charging pad. the phone start charging but then the charger start flashing light in few seconds that phone is not charged. no matter how many time you tried it wont charge. I remove the cover and try every other way to charge but it wont charge.
took it to Toyota they tested and finally said its your phone the charging pad is fine.
anyone experiencing the same or have any idea please share. thank you
In my experience, this phone is picky about chargers - both wired and Qi. I found a great holder & wireless charger similar to this one, then paired it with a high-power 12v adapter. Unfortunately, neither of these are available any more. But you should be able to find similar products that, when combined, will give your V60 enough juice. I can't recall at the moment, but it may also be high-speed wireless charging -- something even harder to do with this phone.
You could also try removing your phone from the case if it's in one. A bare phone will get it into closer proximity with the charging coils.
I don't know how the magnetic charging pad is wired in your car, but perhaps there's a way to get it connected to a higher output 12v circuit. Check YouTube or the car forums, etc.

It charges at home with qi charger and wired both ways.
pits the car pad that stops charging.
I have tried everything with and without case the result is same.
toyota said the car pad gives as much juice it wants it’s interactive. But it’s your phone not syncing with pad.

Not syncing doesn't seem like much of an answer, and doesn't explain why it's not charging. Did you check the car forums?
