Hi guys, first post , really nice site, need help.
My LG G5 (H850) is not rooted. It has recently been chewing through the battery quite fast so I decided to back it up and do a factory reset. Everything went fine for the backup and reset and restore but since I've done it I have lost the ability to fast charge. I have a factory LG charger and a fast charger 3.0 in my work van also, both chargers would charge my phone in a blistering fast time before and say "fast charging" on the screen but since the reset they both charge rather slowly and just say "charging". I haven't changed anything as far as leads or chargers go.
Is there a setting somewhere on the phone that you have to enable for fast charging after a factory reset?
Thank-you

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.
Hey guys and gals
this is my first post here. although a lot here is about rooted devices with custom ROMs, I hope you can help me out - you sure have a lot of expertise here compared to many other forums.
For the past two days I've been running into some of the weirdest problems with my Galaxy S2. Before i go into detail, here is the summary:
1. Screen time-out doesn't work while device is not plugged to a charger or computer
2. Notification shows 100% charge for a very long time (hours after heavy usage)
3. Not sure if charging actually works
4. Booting up seems to fail when not connected to a charger
it started yesterday when I noticed the phone light up and say it was charging. The problem is it wasn't - it was in my pocket.
Then I noticed that the screen didn't time out. I changed the setting, nothing - it remained on. I could push the power to make the screen turn off and on again but it wouldn't time out itself.
The charging info went away... at some point. I left it to charge over night and in the morning it indeed showed 100% in the notification bar. The problem is it remained 100% for A LONG time. In the settings menu under the battery it says it has been running on batter for 0 secs and showed 100% charge. For hours... There were no info about any apps or function using the battery. that part was clear.
Then i discovered that the screen time out problem goes away while connecting the charger or via USB to a PC. Then it times out. As soon as i unplug the charger it never times out....
I'm actually not sure if the charging works. Indeed it shows charging but sometimes it magically reaches 100% rather quickly.
Because I suspected a battery fault I used another battery. let it drain completely and then tried to recharge. Can't - when booting it shows a battery icon with question mark and then goes to show that the battery is 100% charged. Then the question mark and then 100% again. Seems to be in some sort of loop.
I've done the factory reset, I had a new firmware installed via Odin just in case. The problem still remains.
Booting the device seems to be an issue and only work with charger or USB cable attached. Ot it will be in that "what battery" and "100% charge" cycle...
I've searched high and low today but couldn't find anyone with the same problem.
Have any of you an idea? Really down't want to get a new phone! Seems to be a very bad month going on because a few weeks ago I had really serious issues with my brand new hybrid camera which i have to buy ... again! sold it for parts for pocket money....
Any help would be really appreciated! thanks!
That's really strange....try getting out the battery,charge it to max va an external charger,or borrow a friend's Galaxy S2.Leave the phone withou battery for an hour.Then when you put it in,go to recovery,and "wipe battery stats"(Root it if it's not).See if that works.

How long have you had the phone? The usb flex cable has issues over time. A symptom of this is the charging when not connected to the charger.
If it is this issue the part is cheap (around 5$ I believe).
Hello,
I have a Note 2 with a charging issue for a month now, it charges extremely slowly and halts around 60%. if I start at 5%, it takes 18 hours to hit 35-45%, an entire weekend turned off to hit 60%. So what I've been doing is hauling around 3 different batteries all with 20%-50% to last the day.
I've bought a new OEM Samsung 2A charger + cable, no change.
I've tried chargers and USB cords other than my OEM, no change.
The battery current app on my phone claims a 1698-1800
I have 3 different batteries, the 9300, 6200 and 3100 all with the exact same result so I don't have 3 batteries kicking the bucket at the same time.
I have already factory reset twice.
Heck I tried a different outlet!
I've tried plugging the USB directly into my PC for giggles and no luck.
A strange thing I'm noticing is after I factory reset my Android system and display use within a few % battery of each other, this is shown on GSAM and stock android battery monitors. This is strange as usually display outright consumes the most battery by far. I found this sudden change in Android system usage odd and even more odd that factory reset doesn't fix it.
I'm at a loss as to what to do, I'm avoiding warranty service as the last time I needed Samsung service it was a huge hassle.
Thanks for any suggestions.
I would odin back to stock and do a factory reset. I know some people had charging issues prolly kernel related. But run stock for a day and if all is well come back to the mod world.
I had issues with charging. Odin to stock didn't help. Figured out it was the usb charging port was damaged. Samsung has had issues on a few models with the port coming loose.
Call verizon, have them send you a warranty replacement, odin back to stock, use casual on replacement
When you do a factory reset android system will be high until it settles after a day or so. It's completely normal.

sorry if this has been covered before but since I OTA's to V10d the fast charging notification doesn't seem to show up any more when i connect to my Qualcomm Certified Quick charge 3.0 charger.
It also seems to charge much slower. Called LG UK and they rather unhelpfully said they are not aware of this issue.
Has anyone else encountered the same issue? ...

There you can find my issues with charging, also in v10d
same issue with my phone on v10c.
my phone suddenly charged very slow... quickcharge not working. and still not worked after reboot.
a boot into recovery solved the problem for me.
I'm on Sprint we just got an update under the name ZV5 and I'm having the same issue. A boot into recovery completely reset my device. And did not solve my problem. No root or custom recovery, pure stock.
When I changed to different charger fast charge worked again
I've tried 3 different chargers, 3 different cables. All of which worked for me before. No fast charging anymore. Is LG admitting they broke it yet?
Hello good day for all, as the title indicates I have presented a problem after updating Android Nougat this officially with smart swich, after this the loading process stops when it reaches 80% I can leave the device all the charging night and does not exceed this percentage, this clearly with the original charger and cable and the only way that the device charges 100% is by slow charging via USB cable to a PC.
I have installed third party rom almost the majority that there is in the forum and the problem persists and the only solution is to return to Android Marshmallow there the device loads in a normal way and 100%
Additional to confirm clarified that I always use the original charger and cable and likewise try to calibrate the battery with the hidden menu that has the phone, letting the phone download completely 0% and then loading it with slow charge and restarting it several times to calibrate also this way the battery, additionally I have also done the factory reset and I have done in the recovery wipe and cache clean and still the additional fault persists if I connect it to the PC it detects it in a normal way so I ask for your valuable help to try to manage that failure.
Thank you.
