My watch updated to 5.1.1 last night. Everything seems fine except when I place it on the charger it doesnt start charging. If I restart the watch on the charger it starts charging ok (confirming the base and cable are ok) until the next time I use the watch and I put it back on the charger and it wont charge until I restart it again. In other words I need to restart every time I put it on the charger.
Has anyone else experienced this?

If you have problems after OTA 5.1.1, do a factory reset on watch once!
This solves most issues after update!
Thankyou for the suggestion Bitstra.
I bit the bullet overnight and did a full reset (now called a factory reset) on the watch. Sadly the watch is still the same. I put the watch on the charging dock and it wont start charging until I restart the watch..but restarting seems to work every time.
I can live with the problem but I cant help feeling I should have bought the Sony SW3...and then I wouldnt have also been let down by LGs crappy decision not to build the wifi hardware into most of their models.
I see I am not the only one with this problem.....

Can confirm issue...woke up this morning to a battery level of 44% after putting it on the charger before bed (don't recall what it was at last night) had to restart to get it to charge... Will reset today as I was planning to anyway..
Hi:
I have 2 chargers because I use one for travel. After updating to 5.1.1, one works and the other does not. I swapped the components and found it was the cable. I hope that this helps.

Nope. Something is wrong with your watch configuration. Have you tried another plug for your charger? It shouldn't do that and I don't have problems and I am on 5.1.1.

Considering the fact that there are many people experiencing the same issue, it is most certainly NOT his watch configuration..There definitely is something wrong with the update on our watches.
For me, the problem is intermittent so it maybe only a matter of time before you or others see it creep up. Luckily, one can tell right away whether a charging session will work or whether a reboot is required. As bugs go, this is only a minor inconvenience..albeit one that LG needs to address..
Same here, watch was charging wen I went to sleep but charging stopped at around 60%

Well now mine isn't charging unless I reboot it on the cradle. Will investigate more later.
I had the same issue with cable from another device.
With genuine cable charging starts well.
I also had something similar. The watch doesn't always start to charge, but reinserting it into the cradle seems to fix it every time. This began to happen a few days before the 5.1 update (so no direct link to 5.1. but maybe something is wrong in Play services. I also sometimes had an issue with a battery drain the few days before the update).
There is a slight corrosion (discoloring) starting on the second charging pin
Both my brother and I noticed the same problem after receiving the 5.1.1 update on our G Watches. For me, taking it in and out of the cradle does not fix it. If the battery is low it will not charge until it is rebooted. In the morning when it has a full charge I can take it on and off and it will go into charge mode reliably, but at the end of the day it will not.
Happens here too. I have to shut down the watch and then put it at the cradle.
Funny, had the same issue. Tried switcing cables, connecting it straight into PC and reseating the watch on the charging pad. Nothing helped. It started to charge the moment baterry died and it shut down. Also running 5.1.1. Thought it was some charging contacts on the watch issue but seems to be software indeed. Still have some battery left but putitng it on the charing pad does nothing at the moment. Nice bug!
Another G watch user here with the same charging problem after updating to 5.1.1... I guess that I am not the only one.
Same problems here with 5.1.1
Any solution to that? I wiped the watch recently and the bugs still stays. It's a bit annoying to force restart the watch everytime i need to charge it.
For me charging works after putting Watch a few Times on and off the docking

Your problem seems to be different then. I tried to plug it few times, cleaing the connectors, using charger instead of computer that powers the charging station. Nothing helps. It starts charging the moment i reboot the watch and only then.

So i bought my SGS3 (marble white) a few days ago and it was working perfectly fine. A few days ago my phone suddenly stopped charging. I rebooted the phone and it was charging again. Last night it again stopped charging. I again rebooted but this time it did not fix the problem.
I know that the charging port of the phone is not damaged as phone works perfectly fine when connected to a pc via usb cable and charges.
And i have never ever plugged in a non-genuine accessory to its micro usb port. Not even a dock!
Anyone with a similar problem or cure?
edit: software update fixed it in my case.

I will not say I have a cure, but I am facing the same problem, sometimes I have to reboot twice for it to start charging.
Guru's kindly look into the issue and help us, this happens in both the cases, while charging for adapter or while charging from USB.

Well not exactly, it does not happen when i plug the phone into a usb port.
It happens with the charger but, now my phone is not just recognizing the charger. I have rebooted twice, thrice but still the same problem.
I'm having a similar problem,
Charging when -
phone on
power save on - WIFI/data and most other things are off
charges 2% per hr with official charger (wall socket)
Charging when -
phone OFF!
40% per hr with official charger (wall socket)
Haven't really tried the PC USB charging yet,
But i have noticed that my battery info page says the phones been on battery for
2 days 22hrs, Very strange as i have charged and attempted to charge the phone more than 10 times in the past 24hrs.
Anyone also noticed the on battery time to be wrong?
i got this problem yesterday too , restart then its ok , weird ...
before reboot the battery icon shows charging icon but its not charging at all
does charging a battery run a software too ?
why you guys not reporting the issue in samsung mobile showroom from where you bought the mobile and take a use of your warranty card?

My mobile is no more in warranty as I have rooted my phone, will have to come back to stock rom for me to claim warranty, that's why I am waiting for someone to provide solution before I return back to stock rom for warranty claim.
Sounds like it's an issue with the charger, rather than the phone.

I thought it was best to ask here before i contact orange to report the problem, as i really didn't want to send the phone back to them if its something i could have fixed
I'm doing a factory reset and if it still has charging problems i will call orange today.
I'm facing the same problem. It started about 2 weeks ago.
I tried different chargers but no hope. the only way to charge it is via a usb port.
I had this problem once on the first day I got my phone. Worked fine though with an iphone charger with the samsung usb cable. Have any of you guys tried that?

I thanked your post accidentally while trying to quote you
The batterystats.bin file only resets itself after a full charge to 100%. That's the file that's responsible for showing all the battery usage info. So if you just keep topping up your phone without letting it charge to 100%, the battery statistics will be from the last full charge. If you see the graph you'll see it rises everytime you charge and then falls when you take it off charge. It cumulatively shows the amount of time you've used the phone on battery since the last full charge, regardless of how much you charge it in between. When you let it charge fully to 100% and unplug it, the battery stats file will be reset and give you a correct reading.

I'm having a similar issue, only difference to what you guys are having is that my SIII start charging via the normal charger if its been in USB for a bit, like 2-5 min. I tried the rebooting, nothing. it only charges through USB 1st, then it will work via the stock charger, I've tested it on another charger aswell, and the samsung car charger.
I really hope there is a quick fix, becuase I dont want to send it in for repairs, as cellphone providers in SA arent the best.
I had a similar problem with my gtab 2 10.1 but the wall charger is to blame

Dude! we don't have problem with battery status i guess,
We have problem with NO CHARGING. Off topic comments won't help.
I had Battery Issues afater ICS
I formated my Internal SD & then did Factory reset
My Phone works Great now & has better Battery Life too
& I did it 3 times
Wonder why everybody keeps saying dont Factory rest ???
Same problem here, i tried with a charger and with a usb port, both doesn't work. Then, i rebooted the phone and now it's charging...
I don't understand.
Hi all,
try off your phone..
take out battery...
put in battery...
plug in charging cable...
wait till it show that your battery is charging with the circle below moving..
let it go 1 round and start your phone. it may help.
I seem to be having issues charging my Galaxy S3. I plug it into the Samsung wall charger and it starts to charge but stops after about 10 seconds. So I figure there is an issue with the charger, but then I plug my Blackberry into the same charger and it charges just fine. Using the blackberry charger it does the same thing on the S3. The phone does seem to charge via USB on my PC but its extremely slow. So I really don't know what to do to fix this issue.
Currently I am using the Samsung spare battery kit, the one that you place the battery alone in and it charges, it charges the battery to 100% without any issue using the same cable the phone is having a issue with. I've had the phone since about June and never had any issue like this.
Would a factory reset help my issue? The reason I am apprehensive to that is, with Androids it seems a factory reset means losing EVERYTHING on the phone. As you can imagine 3 months worth of apps etc will take a really long time to restore, and if it doesn't work then a real pain.
Does anyone know how I can fix this issue? I've tried rebooting many times and also tried charging while the phone is off and all that does is show the batter logo with a 'refresh' symbol in it for a second then the screen switches off.
Hi
I'll put my G5 on charge and it will start to fast charge like normal then after a few minutes stop and go to just charging, if I pull the cable out the phone and plug it back in, it will usually still not fast charge sometimes it does first time tho but normally I'll have to do that 3 or 4 times to get it to fast charge again and usually it then fast charges normally till the battery if fully charged.
I thought it was the cable as it was on it way out it had a internal break where it would stop charging or go to normal charging at times so ordered a replacement cable same make (choetech 6ft) I've been using for over a year now and a juicebitz 9ft one and there both doing the same and I even tried the original cable and that's doing it too so it's not the cable.
I've cleaned the usb port no change, I've factory reset no change, can't remember when this first started as I thought it was the cable but I think it could of been around the time of the last update but can't be sure on that could of easily been just before.
What to try next could it be a charger fault, a faulty bottom module/ usb port, battery fault or a fault with the phone itself?
Any help would be appreciated.
I have same issue with my phone after last update.
That's good know not good that your having the same issue I mean good to know it's not a hardware problem.
I've seen a couple of posts after I starting this thread in the v20i update thread from users with the same problem so it looks like it's a software issue I can stop stressing about it as there's nothing I can do about it.
I did a search before posting and must of missed it or used the wrong terms in my search.
I just hope they will fix that in next update (oreo)

So do I it's part of what I hate about updates they fix things but just as often break something else.
same here. its turning to normal after minutes and when you plug it again its fast charging for a short time. LG g5 is a headace. My disappointment.
I have the exact same issue with my H-850 I even went to the extent of sending the phone in for repairs under the warranty. They replaced the mainboard and the bottom module but the problem still persists, its either the battery or software, my money is on the software
The watch cannot turn on anymore after i forgot to charge it over night.
I try to clean a contact and tried to connect to computer or charger. No any responding on watch.

Thx, i will try to night and let see it after 24 hours charging ..:good::fingers-crossed:
For now, it still dead. Can't turn it on but the screen pretty warm.
I think I had that happened after my five days of use. It didn't turn on even on the charger for few hours. What I did was holding the power button for three or four seconds, and let the watch turn on the boot screen, and then right away put it to the charger. Then you should see the battery charging status image on the watch.

Try plug your charger directly to a power USB switch. and clean the pins on the charger and on the watch.

Oh, really. be care ful bro, i so concern your watch will dead as my watch.
My battery is completely 0%. My watch is not turned on even on the charger. I pressed the watch down to the charger and made sure it was touching the pins, and then I pressed the power button the watch (while it is on the charger) for 2 or 3 second; the watch is turned on with battery charging status image. Hope that helps. BTW I use a StartTech USB switch for charging my phone and watches. The switch is not plugging to a PC or laptop; it is only for charging my devices.
After I "fried" some bluetooth headsets with wallchargers ( probably powersurge or similar )
I never ever use them for "small" devices like headphones or the watch.
I always charge with a powerbank.
Since then I didn't have any problems
Try to twist the charging ring
After I twist the charging ring couterclockwise/clockwise, the power was increase. So you should try twist the ring until it got the right position and precise contact. Hope this solution helps yours.
I had this exact same problem with my watch after about 8 days, i had charged it multiple times before but one morning i noticed my watch completely off and thought the battery must of drained completely. I went to plug it in and nothing happened it wont charge (even leaving it on the charger for 24+ hours) . Ive tried everything and it just wont turn on or charge.
OP im afriad yours sounds like same issue, i raised a dispute on Aliexpress and got a complete refund. I have just recieved another one so im hoping i dont have the same issue again.
I still have the old broken one so was tempted to pull it apart and see if i can see anything but tbh i wouldnt know where to start so have not bothered.

I have noticed that fast Charging does not always happen even with the stock charger. However, if I reboot then fast charging kicks in. Is this a known issue?
No, I always have fast charging. Maybe you need to return your tab for warranty.

I have this problem as a result of getting something in the charging port, or inside the USBC cable itself. All resulting in a moisture detected error. Powering down the tablet, plugging it in and allowing the charge indicator to come on would resolve the issue, but every time I unplug the tablet I would get the error again. I followed instructions on XDA regarding USB C fast charging problems and it seemed to fix the error. I think there's still something in the cable itself because the whole problem has expressed twice now. But in the interim comma over a few days if I plug the charger in one way I would get a slow charge warning that I wasn't using the original charger. But it's the charger that came in the Box. If I unplugged it, turned the charger around and plugged it in the other way it would fast charge again. So I'm guessing there's some kind of material in the charger itself that I can't get to that's affecting how many contacts are being made. I'm still working to resolve the issue with the original charger, but I'm thinking about just getting another USB C cable. I need a longer one than ships with the tablet in the first place.
When I went to chat with customer service, they wanted me to send it in under warranty. But I really didn't want to do without the tablet for 2 weeks or more, so researching it online has solved the issue somewhat. I might take it in to a Samsung kiosk and just see if they'll try to fix it with air duster.
