Guys lemme start of by saying I love the LG V10. Had it for well over a month now, recently like 2 days ago my charger just stopped working? Most chargers I got to plug in and out like 20 times for it to charge my phone, its charges super slow and is getting really annoying... Can anyone help me... Like I dont want to get rid of my phone, but I refuse to have to have a second battery, that I have to charge in a cradle to keep my phone on, I want to be able to just use the charger.
It seems to me its not the cord? more than the phone, I got one cord that works, but it barely charges the phone... HELP PLEASE
edit:
called LG they basically told me to shove it. Said I can send my phone, wait till they recieve it then they will try to fix it if not they will send me a REFURBISHED DEVICE my device is basically brand new perfect condition besides this and a screen burn already? Makes no sense to me I told them they can get back to me and correct whatever issue this is and stand behind there product, not send me someone elses used and abused device when mine is in great shape or they can shove it and I will be switching companies...
Are u using the OEM charger that came with the phone? It uses a higher amperage/voltage to quick charge the battery. A charger that outputs in say, 1.0A will charge it VERY SLOW... Learned that lesson like 2 days ago when I didn't have my charger with me and borrowed someone's cheap Kyocera charger... Omg I thought I would never move up a few %...

yea, my oem charger is in perfect condition and wont charge my phone, i think my charging port is faulty
Hmmm.... U may actually need just a new quick charge 2.0 charger or something. Or maybe it is the charger port.

Dude my charger ports on EVERY SAMSUNG IVE HAD has went bad. I've bought a SAMSUNG device along with a LG device EVERY year since the Galaxy S3. With each appropriate uear, the charger port went out. My LG G2, that bad boy is still as fast as it was in day one. The GS4 that came out THAT year with it? Well, idk, won't charge. Lol. My G3 vs the S5? G3 SMOKED it in EVERY CATEGORY. Oh, S5 AMD Note 3 AND Note 4 charger port messed up in 2-5 months. I won't buy another Samsung device.

Hey guys just wanted to share some of my frustrations. First off I love this phone and HTC products but I have the worst luck. I've had the DNA since release day as well as the nokia wireless charger. My first phone stopped charging via the wireless charger 3 weeks in. I tried switching power outlets and a master reset and the phone would still not charge from the pad. Took it in to a Verizon store and tested it on a known good wireless charger and would not charge so they sent me a replacement. That phone worked fine till a few days ago when it stopped charging from the wireless charger. I contacted Verizon and they sent me a replacement wireless charger and I tried it out today and it still won't charge. They are sending me out a replacement phone which is nice. I called HTC about my problem and told them everything that had happened and the woman told me that they don't support wireless charging, that it was third party, and as long as it charged from the wall there was nothing that could be done. Are any of you guys having problems like me?

Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Sounds to me like the girl from HTC doesn't know what she's talking about how could they not support wireless charging when its built into the phone? That makes no sense.
Been using the DNA about 2 months using the LG wireless charger provided at Verizon stores with no problems at all so far and I only used the wall charger 3-4 times.
Could be an issue with the nokia charger causing the issue? I guess if that is the case we should see more complaining eventually.
I have had one replacement phone so far because wireless charging quit working. I too have been using the nokia 900. First phone quit charging wirelessly after 3 wks from release day. Had second phone since, still using same wireless charger and no more problems so far. Hope it stays that way!
I'm having a similar issue. I have the Nokia Fatboy pillow and used the charging with no problem for a few weeks. After that the phone recognizes the charger once I put it down but some random amount of time after that, it says it was disconnected and just stops charging until I pick it up and put it back on again. Very frustrating but noticed that it started right after I rooted my phone but not sure how that could be related.

This makes me feel better. I just bought the nokia dt-900 and my DNA was cycling between charging/disconnected. Went to VZW, tested my cell on another Qi charger and they are sending me a new DNA. Hope this does the trick.
I;m having no problems with charging with the orb. It's pretty awesome.
Got my replacement DNA, wireless charging now works perfectly.
kernel issue??
I know that zarboz' beastmode kernel just addressed many wireless charging issues, if you wanna check that out.

I'd like to share my experience with wireless charging. I've had the DNA since mid December and bought my Fatboy at the end of December. This worked rock solid for 3 months or so, always charging to 100%. Then a couple of weeks ago, I started having problems. I would put my phone on the Fatboy and it would start charging, and then quit after a few minutes. This went on for a week and a half or so. Well, the day came when I was going to return my phone and Fatboy to a Verizon store. So right before I was about to leave, I decided to throw the phone on the charger and what do you know. It charged perfectly to 100%. The only thing, that I can think of, that changed was that I did an update to GSAM Battery monitor right before that. So now, for the past week and a half, my phone is charging great again. No issues. So if anyone is having issues and they have GSAM installed, maybe you should update it or uninstall it. I'm not sure if this is the issue but it's worth a try.
On another note. I think one of the best features of this phone is the built in wireless charging. I don't see this mentioned often when people compare the DNA to the HTC One. I like to use my phone without a case, because it looks so good, and the built in wireless charging is a feature I really like. It will always be one of the first things I look for when buying a new phone.
I agree with you on the wireless charging being a great feature. I have the Nexus Orb on my desk, and I bring it home with me and put it on my night table. It's perfect. Charges fast, no wires, my USB cover won't snap off, I can just grab it and run off to a meeting...
I wish all phones had Qi charging abilities more than NFC.
Had to get mine replaced under warranty after 6 months of use. My old thunderbolt still charges on the original LG WCP-7000 pad, but the DNA didn't last.
I've only ever had one possible problem with my Nokia wireless charger. I say possible problem because I'm not sure if it was actually a charger issue or my own stupidity. A few days ago, an hour after i had taken my phone of the charger, i looked at my phone and noticed it was almost dead. For some reason the phone hadn't been charged over night. I could swear it was on the charger, but i can't day for sure. So it could have been my fault.

Here's my story:
I got the Nokia DT-900 few months back (Google's orb is not available in India) and had a tough time with my Nexus4, read so many forums on xda, androidcentral and elsewhere to find the right solution. Later realized that Nexus4 isn't fully Qi compatible. Still, from the forums I knew everyfrickinbody has some issue or the other, whether with the Nexus4 or any other Qi phone (like the Nokia Lumia 920, HTC droid, etc.).
Now my old guy, with a couple of other old ones have this high freq inductor/transformer making workshop and I told them I want us to make a wireless charger, and do it right! They said we ain't got the money - ha! I said I don't need no money, I just need ur tech and tools..ur brains and grains! With a grin, it was okay'd And 2 months in, we've got the Qi compatible electronics ready and tested!! Now we just gotta design a good form. We even have a name - Qitah (say cheetah)...hehe, yeah.
Here's are the pain points we've addressed uptil now:
a) Phone Alignment - it's a 3coil configuration that allows free positioning. After all, what's the point of a wireless charger if you still gotta put in effort for the phone to charge
b) Remembering to charge - we realized while brainstorming that the major pain point is not of plugging in a wire with your wall charger..in fact it's remembering to charge your phone daily. Even if I forget to charge once a week, it's kinda disastrous. We are really working hard and smart to tackle this
c) Looks - Apart from the orb, all the other solutions (mostly pads) are uhhgly!! And the orb is so painful with 'sticky' issues. Hey, if the Qitah is to sit on your office/home desk, it better look so frockin awesome yet unintrusive that you feel great about it!
d) Travel/Incline - it's pretty sad that we either have pads or inclines in the market. We are hell bent on coming up with a travel friendly design to get rid of this simple pain point.
Here's where I need all your help..tell us your pain points! tweet "@projecQitah", post on facebook - "projectQitah" and let us know what you want it to be like. I'll be following up on all suggestions/criticisms.
Cheers!
Ok so I am noticing a pattern here and that is Nokia chargers. I have been using an energizer charger for months without problems, although I have had my DNA switched out twice for other issues. I just bought 2 nokia wireless pads since AT&T was selling them crazy cheap, and yesterday was the first full day of use. At the end of the day I went to put my phone on my energizer wireless charger and the blue light (on the charger) turned on, then turned back off. I grabbed my nokia charger and the same thing happened.I have left it off wireless charger all night (plugged in usb) and it seems to be working now. If I have problems again tonight I may be blaming the Nokia charger. Has anyone else had wireless charging fail with a charger made by other than Nokia?
I've had the phone for most three months and have had no troubles with the energizer qi charger I've had for over a year. Use it every night to charge the DNA and Nexus 7.

I've used mine with the 2 Nokia chargers for about 10 months and it has never failed to charge even once. Hoping it stays that way.
I have the same wireless charging issues with my Nokia wireless chargers. I have 2 of them, one works better than the other but on both eventually it stops charging as if I removed it from the plate. I'm 90% sure its a heat issue with the back cover and the back cover warps a little bit. If I put something on the phone (usually another phone) while its on the charging plate to weight it down a little and then it always charges perfectly.
Not an elegant solution by any means but it works. I just ordered a new Rav powered QI charger so I'll let you all know if I see better results (without the paperweight.
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.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
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...

yeah had the same probably with a car charger with my og and to think about it my s2 as well, I travel a lot for my job and constantly use gps while traveling and I've found that a lot of those cheapo car chargers you pick up from gas stations may charge the phones while inactive don't really charge them very well while in use. 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!!

Agreed. In my case the phone was discharging rapidly while not in use. Screen off. I'm thinking the plug on that cheap cable was shorting a couple pins on the plug..

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

Yes, the white cables that came with it do fast charge (tested with both these new Samsung charges and stock LG unit). From 10% to full charge in about 90 minutes.

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.

Lies! These aren't ****ty old NiCa batteries. If it doesn't heat bad, which i haven't experienced in fast charge, its perfectly fine. Screw the base brick, I'm just trying to find a single USB 3.0 (needed) supported cable that supports 1800mA. Not one that runs over 800mA and doesn't pop slow charge, but one That fully utilizes all the mA's. Can aubergine post a SS of the mA reading please?

Here is one I ordered from Amazon, it arrived today.
http://www.amazon.com/reVOLT-c2-Dua...=1384487213&sr=8-3&keywords=scosche+revolt+c2
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

Weird. This thing is picky. The usb cable with my 2.0a csr charger charges at around 900mha, but plugged in using the samsung ac adapter it slow charges at 30mha... but once in awhile it goes at 800 to 900
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.

No not really. Taking the time to swap batteries is still better than waiting for the phone to charge.

This. Hate having down time as I'm firmly addicted to my phone.

I instantly bought a 2 pack of anker batteries and an additional wall charger. Me and my Fiance each use a battery and a charger. Just swap them out when the get low, love it.

I have the Anker battery set and charger too. Day to day at home or the office I rarely use them but I do a fair bit of traveling each month and in planes, trains, and automobiles they come in handy.
And yes it's a PITA to take off my case. Especially since I switched from the cheap one piece TPU/Pleather case to the two piece Rubber/Pleather with separate silver trim AVOC case.

I'm the opposite. I haven't plugged my phone into it's charger for months now. Always have the extra battery fully charged

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.

Hmm. Ok thanks for the reply. It's surprisingly loose for a new device.

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).

Mine as well. Didn't notice till I read this, thanks @mikeyinid, now I have something else to complain about.

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?

I use an app called ampere
No issue like that over here. I would take that phone back if you purchased from a store.
My wife's does this and will even plug will slip right out. This is with factory wire. My phone holds that same wire in place. But I have an issue with one of my anker wires falling out. Very strange
