Since I bought my V10 I've noticed when I plug ANY charger into it, the cable is pretty loose in the port and moves quite a bit. Doesn't seem to effect anything but it's definitely not what I'm use to. Is this the same as everyone else or should the cable be snug in the port with very little or no movement?
Anyone?

Mine is definitely a little loose when I use 3rd part chargers, not so much with the stock charger. Like yours, mine doesn't effect the charging etc.

Its odd though. It will wiggle back and forth but it wont unplug as easily as I'd think. Right now it's nothing I'm concerned with, if It starts losing connection I'll send it back for another I guess.
Mine wiggles back and forth also. I noticed it right away too.

My h-900 att also wiggled but doesn't fall out.
I've noticed that many times when I first plug it in to charge it won't go into fast charging. Unplug and try again and it works.
This is with both stock and third party quickcharge 2.0 capable cord and hub (anker and aukey, I believe).

I've yet to notice much of it, I do use the Galaxy S4 stock charger cable, which doesn't do much wiggling, but if you do notice the stock V10 cable is a bit thicker on the port part. Not sure if it makes a difference (IE: placebo effect) that it fits more snug, but it could be something.
I was just going to post about quick charging. Btw. My port and charging cable are not loose. Stiff as a brick.
Fat charging does not seem to come on until 20% or so. I was charging at 9 % and it said I had almost 2 hours to go. I was immediately trying to find quick charge option, to see if it was on, but the phone didn't have one.
Then I watched a Seinfeld episode for 22 minutes.
Phone is at 65% and says 25 minutes until full charge. So I don't think it charges at lower percentages. Also my Samsung charger did not quick charge this, but I tired that too at 9%
It's a variable rate, as you get higher in battery percentage it lowers the volts or amps or whatever it is they use.

Yup loose but stays in. That threw me off also hopefully not an issue for us down the road
Yea. Seems like a snug fit but is definitely wobbly. Coming from the S6/Note5 I'm not use to it.
I'm using the AT&T version and so far, all the cables fit snug and do not wiggle. Anyone know of a software that works with the V10 to tell how fast (in mA) it is charging? I used to use "Galaxy Charging Current" with my Note2. Does not work on this phone.
I don't have any issues with charging cables being loose regardless of whether or not the stock charger is being used. However, yesterday my phone (I've only owned it about 2 weeks) died completely and every time I tried to start charging it my V10 would automatically turn on and say to charge it to at least 5% before powering on then it would die. I left it on my bedside table last night unplugged (about 10 hours) and tried again to charge it again this morning. It seems fine right now but time will tell.
Anybody else having this issue or similar ones?

So a little while ago I purchased a Galaxy SII and had a problem with the phone charging, it was at times unusable, screen was unresponsive sometimes etc.. etc.. I took it back, they didn't have another one so I didn't buy another one.
I just bought another one a couple days ago and I've always been a lurker here, but I had the SAME problem with the one I bought yesterday. I returned it today and exchanged it, and this one while not as frequent or severe, is also doing the exact same thing. Only while charging. It's the charger that came with the phone, the cord that came with the phone...
I don't get it. Is it some sort of electrical interference in my outlets perhaps?
From my understanding, its the charger. Sometimes while charging, my screen is unresponsive or inaccurate. On my Captivate, using the device while it was on the charger made it totally unusable. I mean its was extremely inaccurate and irritating

Saw this happen with my captivate, it's 100% the charger. Tried it with 2 different captivates, both became unresponsive while charging. It happened to be one of those cheap ones from ebay..Just order another one, or better yet a generic usb charger+cable.
I noticed HTC chargers don't generally cause this. I'm using one right now and it hasn't done it since I switched..

The HTC charger is a full 1 amp charger, if you can manage to read that fine print on it. The Sammy charger is only 0.7 amps. That might make a difference. I picked up an Energizer 10W/2 amp charger that works like a charm on my SGS2; has the same rating as the charger for my Galaxy Tab, but won't charge my tab for some reason.
I actually have an outlet in my kitchen that has a USB port in the outlet. I plugged it into that last night and the problem went away. Man, I feel like an idiot. Months of using an iPhone when I could of been flashing my GS2 to my hearts content. LOL.
What about an iPhone plug?

According to the fine print on an iPhone plug, it's rated at a full 1 amp too. I charge my SGS2 with it all the time with no problems.
That only happened to me with cheap non-Samsung chargers.. Happens with the AT&T charger, for instance.
this happened to me too but only when my charger was plugged into a cheap extension cord

I too have used iPhone chargers for the samsung. They are both constant voltage chargers and so will work for the Li Ion battery, but know that it is a stronger charger (and is faster) so not best for the samsung battery. In fact it's not best for the iPhone battery either.
iPhone: 5 volts 1 amp.
SGS2: 5 volts 0.7 amp
*heat is the ultimate enemy of Li Ion batteries, another reason to not use the stronger charger.
Yeah I had the same problem, and actually I still do have that problem with my SGS2
Its the charger for sure. One of the pins inmy charger actually shakes as in its not set rigid.
So when I plug in the wall, I have to make sure I put it in at an angle so that the pin can be powered.
It charges perfect with a friends SGS2 charger
I have seen similar problems on a car inverter I have with just about any charger. When Plugged in the touch screen acts like it is being tapped by a swarm of drunk bees. When I plugged into a cigarette lighter usb plug it works great. Bad power, bad cords, and bad chargers, these phone just go nuts if there is something they don't like on the power input.
Tapped out by infinite monkeys on an Atari 800
Okay, this is a weird one. When charging my phone, almost every single time, it will charge up to about 76-83%, and then stop. However, if I unplug it and then plug it back in it will resume charging like normal up to 100%. I mean this is bizarre...is it a battery calibration issue, perhaps?
Edit: Happens on any/every ROM I use.

You mean the usb box from ur galaxy s2.... If so each box may have a different output for each phone..... For instance when i use my daughters charger it takes 5 times longer to charge my og than the og charger so that may be ur problem.
Via LG OG running Rootbox 4.2.2
Had the same thing too and as described in the post above it is in fact due to the output. Just compared my old but still kicking s2 and my og charger and the og charger has a much greater output.
Yeah lgog charger is 5v 1.2a. It's very nice. We also gotta qualcomm technology called quick charge or something like that that enables the battery to charge substantially faster without damaging itself. It's a logic chip in the phone and improved battery chemistry from LG. Asian manufacturers have a huge portfolio of products and are weirdly driven to diversify in all directions. LG has their own chemical company, and that's who makes our pimp batteries. I stuck with HTC for 7 years, but if LG flagship phones continue to have decent development then I'll probably stick with LG for a while. It's cool that they manufactured the entire phone from scratch except the SoC, no other company can really say that besides Samsung. And they're both Korean companies. Btw, south Korea is a great place to vacation.

It looks as though I need to pay attention a bit more. I was using the LG wall charger, however, I wasn't using the right cable. I was using my Samsung cable. The Samsung cable is longer and reaches to where I can charge and play with the phone at night. I'll try the cable it actually came with and see if it continues to pull the same trick. The LG cable is definitely thicker.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I totally agree with you on the length of the cable and is why I was also using the s2 charger as well. If you need the extra length you can probably get by using an s3 charger. I steal my girlfriend's s3 charger from time to time just because I want a little more mobility than two feet and it charges the phone just fine with very similar output ratings....... 1.0 amps compared to 1.2 amps of the og charger.
I've had something similar happen recently. The phone will either charge extremely fast or extremely slow. I usually charge my phone at about 30% and sometimes it will charge fully in about 90 minutes and others it will take up to 8 hours, with the slowest part being in that 73-87% range you describe. I always use the LG charger and cable because its the only one that I have. I'm running code fire's CFX ROM if that helps anyone out.

That's some weird stuff. I'm getting good performance right now using the stock cable with a belkin 1A cigarette lighter to USB adapter. But last week I grabbed a cheapo Chinese retractable cable that was in my wife's car and plugged it into the built in USB port in the car (don't know what it's rated output is) and the battery drained VERY fast... Roughly one percent every minute or 2. Freaked me out... Certainly appears to me this phone is temperamental about cables...

I could watch my battery percent fall while charger on both my s2 and og while using navigation, ended up finding a high output charger at a truck stop with a cord the size of a cb radio lol and havent haven't had any issue with it since. This is with stock and custom rom, even reverted back to stock a couple times to make sure that it wasn't the custom firmware that was causing the issue. Guess the makers of cheap chargers haven't caught up with the big batteries todays smart phones pack, should of hold on to my bag phone charger a little longer lol!!

That's on thing i do miss about having a removable battery though, is the fact that a large part of my job is in very dusty dirty environments ....i.e. steel, aluminum mills and other high temp dusty and dirty as hell places is that i could remove my battery and feel safe while using a little contact cleaner. Now og days i play it safe with air. But either way i don't think that has anything to do with the use of cheap chargers lol. Best bet would be to stick with oem or pay the extra price tag for those high out put chargers that att offer.
Just FYI I just bought this http://www.ebay.com/itm/190961745241 and it fast charges my G2. It has model number ETA-U90JWE on the unit. Just thought I'd pass that along since I was having so many problems finding the right charger/cord combo that would fast charge.

Thanks! Just bought one as a backup charger
I got two of those a week or so ago myself from eBay (same model charger ETA-U90JWE, different seller, etc.) and can confirm that they QuickCharge. I was a bit worried after reading some reviews on Amazon.com that there are knockoffs of the same model that perform poorly but I guess I got lucky.
Those that have it -- does the USB cable work with the original charger too? and with other 2amp chargers (like my car charger)? I always leave a AC charger in my car just in case, but if it's going to take 5 hours to charge my phone, it becomes pretty pointless unless I'm staying overnight somewhere.
This is okay but remember kids. Slow charging is much better for your battery

Charging times with any electronic device are dependent on amperage. Find a charger that is 2amps and you should be set. It will say on the box.

I just tested it: I have a 110v wall plug to cigarette charger socket adapter. Plugged my old cig charger into it, used the white usb cables I described in a previous post in this thread, and got slow charge message. Then I took out that old cig charger and plugged in the new Scosche reVolt c2, used the same cable and got no slow charge message. Watched it for 2 minutes and it went up 2% (so I consider that QuickCharge).

Thanks smacklayer - I bought one just like yours on eBay.
One has to be careful not to get a gray market knock-off, but it's hard to tell exactly. Even on Amazon, there are lots of complaints of chargers that appear to be OEM but aren't.
BTW: how does one tell if their G2 is NOT "fast charging"? Is there some indication?
I have a PowerGen 2A car charger with usb cable that I purchased a year ago for my N7. I plugged my G2 in the other day and I didn't see any visual cues that something was "slow charging" and it appeared to charge just as fast as the LG G2-supplied charger. So, I've been wondering about a "fast" or "slow" charging indicator.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

They have these available at every Walgreens, I can confirm they work with 2A chargers. I know they are ugly and awkward but if you're in a pinch and need one right away these are easy to find. Usually found around the register area.

I've seen people being sold 'deals' which include the LG Wireless Charger WORTH £60 and some thinking that this is a good deal.
The G3 is compatible with ANY QI compliant wireless charger and these start from £10. The LG charger is deffo NOT worth £60.

Is wireless charging really worth it? The charger itself still has to be plugged in. From your experience is it really all that more convenient?
Its a bit more convenient because you have to deal with short and tangldd cords (if u have a lot plugged into a power strip persay)
Doesn't really matter. If ppl want to use em, great. If they don't, IDC. Lol.

And it does not work. It detects the device being placed over it (LED turns on) but the G3 ignores it. Disappointed!
I got a Nokia DT-910 from Amazon £35 and works a treat with my G3.
Tried my phone on a friends £15 QI pad and it did charge slowly and the phone got very hot!

Hmm, I looked up the one I bought, the description is very similar, but it fails to work properly. Must have different electronics in it or something. I'll be interested to see what that second one is like, looks just the right angle for me.
I tried another one in my office, and that seems to work. Strangely, all that happened was the red charging light came on, as the other one turned the screen on and beeped every few seconds with a little animation saying it was wirelessly charging. Even if it does charge, its way to annoying.
Think we should use this thread to list working and problematic chargers? There's another thread with people having the same issue I found. I hope bad ones are few and far between, but might be useful to have a list.

If your working at a desk, they come in really handy. For one, it is a nice dedicated place to put your phone. If you pick up your phone lots of times a day and walk around with it, not having a cable is a godsend. The added charging function is just a great extra.
While it is significantly slower than a direct cable, if you have several ( I have 4: office desk, car, bedside table, media room) you find the cable becomes almost redundant.
One thing to note is that they can't keep up with heavy phone useage. When I'm in the car for instance, usually I have tethering, 4g and Bluetooth on, as well as navigation and streaming radio. I need a cable for that.
Yes, it is true Qi Charging is very slow compared to wall charger.
Has anyone seems any Qi charger going over 1A?
Bought a Chotech t511 qi charger , from Amazon, first of all tried it powering from the pc usb port.....no go ..same as some people have put here...would see the g3 and vice versa , start charging then drop out repeatedly ....then i tried it using the mains plug ..no problems works well...doesn't seem to slow at charging either.....

Nope, the WPC specification (current version 1.1.2) for QI low power is 5watts
No 1A? Thats a shame. It would take at least 5hours to charge G3 then.

I got the second one today, a few things to note:
It's seems to have issues charging from a PC / Laptop USB, probably something to do with the voltage. You need to have it landscape or it complains about it not being center of the hotspot. Thirdly I can't keep my spigen ultra hybrid case on, but I kind of expected that. You also don't get a mains plug which I found very annoying as this will only work from the mains.
The problem in most cases is not the charger itself, is the current of the plug o USB port you use to power the charger.
You need a 1.5-2A plug or 3.0 USB to make most of them work properly.

Is this the one you are using with the G3 without issue?

Yep... works fine even with the Spigen Ultra Smooth Case on.
So WTF were they thinking win they designed these chargers. My bed partially covers the outlet and with this ridiculous design i have to pull the bed out enough or plug it in across the room. My wife got here m8 today and i thought oh ill just switch her chargers but hers is just the same! why the hell are they doing this!! So can i use my charger that came with my htc hero (i belive) or will it cause issues. its bent at a 90 and works a lot better for me but i dont have any of the voltage info on it. i mean it works ive tried it but is it safe?
The charger with the usb cord bent almost to the point of failing still sticks out 4 inches. end rant

Problem solved plus they can be had at actual retailers if you don't like Ebay.
For an overnight charging you will be better of with a generic $2 charger from ebay. It can't supply high current for fast charging, and slow charging is actually better for the battery. I use the factory charger only when I need fast recharge.
I went ahead and just pulled my neutral and hot wire off the outlet and glued them to the prongs on the charger and stuffed it in the wall, works great.

This.
I'm still using my HTC hero charger on this phone.
Looks like output is only 1 amp.

so the htc hero charger output is 1 amp and ours is 1.8. so like others said it will be a little slower but that may prove beneficial in the long run. thanks guys for clarifying this

As in the wall power, with glue. Dude this sounds like such a fire hazard. Careful man.
Get a flat plug extension cord for tight places like this from Office Depot, for the love of Android dont pull 110V out of the wall and glue it to wall wart.

I use the charger that came with my og evo (supersonic) years ago. Its a nice fat cable (fatter then newer cords), low profile plug. I've used it for og, note 2, nexus 5 & now LG G3, they built that one to last.

Using wall chargers for LG Optimus S and Optimus G - one at work, the other at home.
I have the OEM charger for the G3 in my bag as well, but have only used it once or twice.
I haven't really bothered to test how long it takes to charge on the older chargers compared to the new one - might be worth a look.
Battery life on this phone is really impressive though, especially when you consider how much juice it takes to power the QHD display.
The stock charger is fast and powerful, it charges G3 at 1.2-1.3Amps. None of my other chargers can charge G3 at more than 0.9Amps. And charging from a PC or a non-android specific charger goes at 0.5Amps at most.
