I have had my g3 for about 2 months now and the last 2 days i realise that it barely charges. I usually leave my phone overnight and its always at 100% in the morning but 2 days ago i plugged it in at about 15% at 12am and by 9am it was only at 54%. I thought it was really strange but didnt think much of it i took out the battery put it back in and put it to charge again. In 3 hours it was only at 70%. I realised there was something wrong but i couldnt figure out what was causing the problem so i let the battery emptey and tried charging again. Again the charging was extremley slow. So i took my friends charger and it was full in an hour or so. This was a relif knowing it wasent my phone that was the problem. So i decided to see what the problem was i took his usb cable (which was also original) and plugged it into my charger and it charged quickly but when i plug in my cable its slow w even on his charger. Does anyone know whats going on?
I've never had good charging in this phone. Sometimes its super fast other times it barely charges if the screen is on. I have the damn thing plugged in and just saw it drop a percent. Charging port is to blame IMO. Its a piece of ****.
Had the same issue with my 4 months old LG G3. Different cables didn't make a change, original LG Charger was the problem - when charging on external battery it was always fast, when charging on my genuine Nvidia Shield charger it was always fast. So i decided to buy a different charger (i-tec USB Power Charger 2 Port) and also new cable (Wsken X-Cable) and no longer any problems...

My Streak is only 3 days old and I am thrilled with it but .....
Last night I shut it off and put it on the wall charger as usual at bedtime. It had about 80% charge left and had been working fine all day.
When I got up this morning and tried to turn the phone on, it said "0% Charge" and shut itself off. I had it on my cigarette lighter/usb charger in the car on the way to work (1 hour) and it still said 0% charge. I have had it on charge from the usb on my desktop computer in the office for 1-1/2 hours now and it says 20% charge.
When the phone is shut off, what the heck could discharge the battery completely in 6 hours????? Could the charger be bad and drawing current from the battery? (Shouldn't happen - poor design if it did!)
If it is REALLY sensitive to input voltage, maybe the USB charger in my car isn't high enough to charge the Dell? (I have seen some usb devices that actually want 5.1 to 5.2 volts to charge.)
Anyway, it is slowly coming up but I need to figure out what killed it over night. Has anybody else had this happen????

Did you fully shut-down your streak, or just turn-off the screen? There is circuitry that stops the battery from charging once a full charge is reached, as over charging will ruin the battery. So the phone should be on while charging. Another thought... Will it even charge if it's not on?
P.S. the thread title does leave some room for jokes
Yes, the phone will charge while it is powered off.
Your car charger may not have the power needed. I have seen a few posts about the car chargers.
Something does not seem right. While on the wall charger it should have been at 100 percent.
Also, my phone will charge fully in 2 hours on the wall charger, not sure of the time on USB.

Getting stranger!
After two incidents where the phone SHOULD have charged over night but was dead or nearly dead in the morning, I plan to switch to a USB charger that I KNOW is good but .....
When I tried to power up the Streak this morning (after being shut off last night and left on the charger over night) it was TOTALLY dead - didn't even light up again when I plugged it back into the charger! - so I stuffed it in my pocket until I got to work.
I popped the battery out and measured it - no-load voltage showed 4.0 Volts. When I put the battery back in, the Streak booted fine and showed 100% charge! (It was not battery contacts - I cleaned them a few days ago after the no-charge incident).
It appears that there may be something in battery-backed memory that got out of whack and removing/replacing the battery cleared the error state allowing the Streak to boot. This could tie in with the apparent charging problem?
Any ideas?
Anybody have issues with the supplied wall charger? I started using the HTC charger only recently (was using my old BlackBerry charger just because I was lazy and didn't want to switch them out on my nightstand), and the other morning my phone was stone dead. No orange notification LED, nothing. I thought I had simply lost my original 1620mAh battery, even though I have only used it about 10% of the time I've had my phone (I put a HTC extended battery on it in the first week, only recently switched back to the slim battery so I could bundle the phone with a headphone amp). I put the extended battery on it yesterday, and this morning the phone showed it was fully charged. I take it off the charger, and in a matter of moments I get a message something to the effect of "your phone is using more current than the charger can provide... please close unnecessary applications". Also, the battery indicator is still showing it's connected to the charger when it's not. I pulled the battery, reinserted, then my previously "fully charged" battery now shows in the red and "less than 3% charge". WTH?
In my panic yesterday, I already ordered 2 new HTC 1620mAh batteries, though my original one now seems to be coming back to life on a Motorola charger. May not be anything wrong with it after all.
Sorry for the long-winded and wordy post... But, has anybody else experienced this wackiness??
On edit: I forgot I replaced the BlackBerry charger on my nightstand with a Motorola charger, and that's what's charging the phone, now.
Basically, throw away the blackberry and motorola charger. The Rezound charger is rated at 1 amp, which is enough to charge and run the device at the same time. Any less, and you need to shut the phone off to charge. Most cellphone chargers are rated around 700 ma or less, which isn't enough to charge while the phone is on. Use the stock charger.

I think you missed the point of my post... I didn't start having problems until I started using the HTC charger! The phone charges/operates perfectly on the Motorola and BlackBerry chargers.

Stock battery?
The other chargers may have damaged your battery. You might need a new one.

I've been using the HTC charger for about 1 month, now. Problem first arose while using the stock 1620mAh battery, and when it went totally dead on the HTC charger yesterday morning, I put the extended battery back in. HTC charger did not properly charge the battery last night, so I'm back to using the Motorola charger (which is 850mAh, BTW). It's charging my extended battery just fine, and it even revived my previously dead 1620mAh battery, which the HTC charger killed.
There's nothing to suggest my oem HTC batteries are damaged in any way.
It's hard to believe that the charger would be defective. But, it might just be worth it to get a 1 amp charger online incase you need to use and charge at the same time. The 1 amp will also charge faster.
Yeah, I rarely ever have a need to charge my phone while simultaneously using it. My issues arose during typical overnight charging (phone on, but no usage). On rare occasions I may have need to plug it in while in my truck, and I've never had any issues with the car charger.

Moti charges at 0.85 amps so it works fine, my phone works with it. My HTC one killed my two long usb cables.

Even if you aren't using it, it is still pulling for radios, and other junk that runs. You should shut your phone off at night while it charges. And it is good for it to shut off, clears memory and keeps your phone running smoothly.
My charger actually just went bad on me. I would get that voltage warning so I thought it was either the phone or battery but after trying a different cable everything is fine.

I have a Samsung Galaxy s 3 i9300 straight from the factory unlocked. Three months after having it, I started having battery problems. It wasn't charging fast enough and it died fast. So I bought a couple new chargers. They worked, but broke fast. After a while, my phone just wouldn't charge with any charger. I figured out that it was the port and I had to bend the charger to the right so it would work. I got tired of this so I bought the official Samsung Galaxy s3 external battery charger; the one that comes with the extra battery. I've been using this for about a month. I love that I can switch batteries when one is dead. I'm never with a dead phone. So earlier today, my external charger and both batteries were working. I dropped my phone and the phone just turned off. I tried turning it back on, but it never worked. So I went and switched batteries and the phone came back on. I know the other battery wasn't dead, because it had 15% battery before I dropped it. I put the battery that wasn't working in the external charger, and the external charger isn't working now. I let it stay in the external charger for a while thinking that it may be the light that just isn't working on the charger. I switched the batteries out and the battery still won't work when I put it in the phone. Also, the external battery charger won't charge either batteries now, but the battery that is working will charge if charge it the regular way. All of this just happened at once. Probably a coincidence, but I don't know what is going on.
You dropped it, the battery is broken. Putting it into the charger sounds like it shorted out, breaking the charger. Replace both battery and charger, simple.

Hello guys... I'm having a major problem with my battery not taking a charge or just being stubborn.
I used multiple chargers and the phone refuses to charge. It discharges even though it says it's charging and it mounts via USB with no issues and data transfer is faster than ever. I have the OEM stock and the Laza extended battery but the Laza takes much too long and the stock battery won't come back at all because the charger kills it...
This started when I left my extended battery on the charger overnight and it was at maybe 30%. I woke up and it was dead; it wasn't responding to anything unless I pulled the battery and it gave me the blinking orange LED. Any ideas?
*phone was dropped once but a WHILE ago
did nothing special and it was charging great 3 days ago
charging while powered down actually kills the battery FASTER
I'd appreciate any help.
Have the same issue. I believe my USB port is coming loose from the board and needs repair or replacement. I tried physically bending bits of the port with the battery removed to mixed success short-term, but now I have trouble just getting data to connect over the cable. Could try to work around the issue by buying a couple of wall chargers for just the battery pack, then circulate between two or three batteries through the day. Used Battery Monitor Widget app to see my device can eat 500 to 1,000 mA an hour, so I got two 500 mAh chargers and spare batteries to keep pace with max drain rate.
Okay, thanks for the recommendation! My Droid MAXX has arrived but my battery is actually doing pretty well right now. It decided to charge overnight but still no luck with the stock. But I still want to use this phone to test ROMs, and it's difficult to do so with the discharged battery. Anyways thanks a lot, I will look into this. Or maybe I could buy another Rezound for cheap or a Thunderbolt (if it works).
So guys i got few questions about it.
Lg v10 has quick charging feature so i wanna know that how that works.
its works always, and any % ? or there is a certain point for it to work. im asking this bcus today i had 10% battery left and i plugged in its original charger with original cable which supporting quick charge. it was charging normally till 32%. i realized that and i plugged off charger and plugged back again it was still normal charging . then i again plugged of and closed phone and plugged it back when phone was off. it otomatically started phone and i entered my pin code. boom it started to quick charge
sso can some 1 explain me that quick charge?
Also that hifi dac works with bluetooth earbuds? like hbs910 - hbs 1100 or samsung level u pro ?( sorry my bad english )
Hmm... I'm under the impression quick charge only works with the screen off. Could that have played a part in this?

My V10 also meets this issue. when your phone running out of battery at 0% lowest level, it is hard to activate the quick charger, i have to replug and unplug charger many times 10 times more to activate the charge process, the screen with phone and cable keep blinking and blinking...
But if your V10's battery still remain and you wanna charge, you just unplug and re-plug about 3 or 5 times, the quick-charge will activate. I have no idea if this relates to Software or Hardware issue.
SOLVED: my cable connecting my charger and phone is broken, change the cable, issue is solved!
Well I didn't think that I ll need quick charge since I was using z2 bcus I could have a full day no matter how much I use the phone. It was charging like in 3.5 hours. So I was charging it only when I go bed. But since v10's battery life isn't that good I realy need quick charge. I waited few months for bot buying first wave of v10 but still I bought first wave I guess. Let's hope it's software problem and get fixed soon

Well for me it works all the time. When i connect my original cable and charger i always get quick charge notification and it takes around 1 hour to fully charge the battery. I recommend though to leave the phone connected on charger for around 1 to 1.5 hour more if possible. This way the phone tops the battery charge fully getting additional around 200mA charge. You can install battery monitor widget from market and you will see that the phone continues to slowly charge after telling that battery is full. This stops when battery ot charged to the max.
0% to full takes 1 hour? that is rly nice since mine takes atleast 90 mins... even it says quick charging
