Is anyone else having problems with charging their phone with a USB C TO USB C Cable?
I have to set my phone a certain way for it to charge, but with a regular USB to USB C it charges fine.
Could just be my charger port or some kinda measure to make sure the cable is actually touching the connector port.
I initially had the Verizon version of the V30 (LGE VS996) and it came with a LG charging brick that used a type-c to type-c cable. It worked great every time and the phone always showed it was quick charging when I was plugged into it.
I kept that phone for less than 2 weeks though because I decided to switch to T-Mobile. I returned the Verizon version and bought the T-Mobile version of the V30 (LGE VS986). It did not include the same type-c to type-c charger/cable and instead only a type-A to type-C charger and cable... I don't have any c to c cables or adapters so I have no way of testing this phone.
Mines the Verizon version, I got it from Best buy and it came with both cord's.
Swiped it out with some alcohol, it seems to be working better I'll update you guys in the next couple of days.
I've done it before and it did really help but so far seems better, also I bought the latest USB C 3.1 gen 2 cable.
It made it work a little better, but I talk to Verizon to replace it, should be here Tuesday. We will see if I have the same problems.
I received the replacement today from verizon and it was definitely the charger port being lose when i bought it from best buy.
luckily I have verizon's total mobile protection, lg was going to make me send the phone to then then they would send a replacement which would take over 2 weeks being the christmas season . Verizon over night ships the replacement, then you send your phone off to them andyour done.

Hey all, the Sprint Hero comes with a charger that uses the usb cable to plug in to the phone. My problem is two-fold:
First, I like having a usb cord on me to charge where ever I go, and I don't like/am bad at remembering to take the usb cord out of the wall unit and pack with me in the morning.
Second, The usb cord isn't very long for a device that's plugged into an outlet near the ground (read: nearly every outlet in existence) and the usb cable barely reaches my desk for the phone to rest on.
Is there a decent charger that doesn't need our usb cable and has a couple extra feet in length? I don't want to get a universal charger because I don't want to fry the phone's charging system, which happened to my old Vogue. Everything I have found online is a universal type charger.
Has anyone had any experience with a good wall charger for the hero?
Thanks,
- JustPyro
You are aware that a standard USB cable works with the Hero? No need to use the one that came with the phone.

Buy a longer USB-miniUSB lead, plug that into your home charger, and then carry the shorter one that HTC supplies around with you.
I've also found the stock one too short so I got a longer one, I also got a 3 inch long one to keep with me for tethering at work.... fits in my pocket nicely and it doesn't need to be any longer when the phone is sat next to my laptop.
These days I rarely find anywhere where I can't quickly borrow a miniUSB lead to charge my phone, they're used on so many different devices. Oh, and don't be afraid of 'universal' chargers - the Hero works with these fine, since USB is a 'universal' standard and 5v is 5v no matter where it comes from.
Hey y'all,
I was in the AT&T store the other day getting a replacement for my wall charger (it died and they replaced it under the warranty, nice guys) and they told me not to use any other USB cable with my phone because the Motorola one is special.
They say it charges faster and maybe does other things better too, although they didn't really say what else. Is there any truth to this, or were they just trying to sell more cables?
they are trying to sell more cables...
I got a cable from ebay for my car with a 90 degree tip so i can charge the phone while using it as a navigation device. it surely wasn't a Motorola cable but works great. I have also used other peoples chargers and cables, I think I had an issue only once where I borrowed the cable from a friend and the cable didn't want to charge, don't know what that was about, didn't play with it enough to figure it out, may have been a defective cable. but basically it comes down to, the charger is putting out 5 volts, if the cable carries all 5 volts to the device and doesn't loose any, it will work fine. Also there are only 2 pins in the cable that are used for charging, one for (-) and one for (+). those pins are all the same for every usb charger or a computer. also phones with that type connector are wired to receive the charge only through those 2 pins. Thus, all of them are made the same. The only thing that manufacturers will do is change the gauge of the wire being used in the cable, but with a 3 foot long cable, and only 1amp of power maximum traveling through it, it just doesn't matter
hope I was some kind of help to you...
Hey! I was also thinking that in my mind but couldn't express. I thought everyone will think I'm getting crazy! Buy my atrix full charges in just 1.5/1.45 hours with the Motorola's Official Wall Charger & USB Cable. I haven't seen any phone that charges that fast! The battery backup of this phone is awesome! 2days with moderate use & 4.5 days with normal use. Aweomeeeeeee!
I use the Factory cable at home, and an old Blackberry cable at work. No difference in the USB cables performance.
Hi,
Yes, nothing magic...
The Motorola wall plug is 850mA output, a PC USB port is UP TO 500mA and for example the IPhone one (square one) is 1000mA.
So the charging time will be shorter with the IPhone one, then the Motorola and finally the USB port.
As I have already say in another thread, I have connect the +5V of my power supply directly on the USB port, so now, no problem !
Now you know !
None of my micro USB cables will charge my E970 without a "slow charging" notification except for the cable that came with the phone. Even the venerable 6' monoprice cable isn't up to the task. HTC cords aren't cutting it, either. Does anybody have any 6'+ (ideally a 10') micro B cables that will charge the phone without slow charging? My monoprice 6' cables (i have a bunch) barely keep the phone from losing charge when serving up LTE hotspot, where as the LG cable charges it whilst doing whatever I can to suck down as much current as possible.
Also, I really don't want to short data cables. Somehow the stock LG cable does full current while maintaining data capability, and that's what I'm looking for.

OEM LG cables can be found almost anywhere used so that shouldn't be a problem. Otherwise, you may be looking at the wrong end of the cable. I have a spare tablet plug charger that puts out up to 2 amps and that seems to be what works best for me no matter what the cable. You might want to look for one of those instead of just buying more cables.
FWIW....I had the opposite result. The cable and adapter which has been near my bedside for the last year (for my HTC EVO 4G) kept giving me the slow charging notification on my me LGOG. If I used the LG adapter and cable all was well, but it was shorter than I wanted. I changed out the adapter and kept the older long cable and still got the slow charging notification. It seems most of my existing cables have this issue...even when using the new LG adapter.
I have not looked into power capacities on the usb cables since I charge each night and don't need to recharge during the day. Didn't expect there to be a throughput difference, but the new LG cable does seem to be different.

What is the part number for the oem charger and USB cable?
I use a Samsung charging cable with my LG plug and it charges regularly. I love the Samsung cable because the mirco-usb plug is asymmetric so I always plug it in correctly the first time, every time. Even in the dark. The cable is pretty long too. I don't use the Samsung plug because it only outputs 0.7A though.

I also use a cheapo USB male to female extender that I got off eBay at my gf's place and it charges just fine too.
I'm having the opposite problem, I have had my phone for a month, out of no where the original charger is throwing up slow charging icon. Wierd

Same problem here, just started about a week ago. It doesn't matter what cable I use it keeps switching between slow charge and regular charge.It charges without problems when the phone is off though. Also when I plug my phone into my pc it keeps disconnecting every few minutes. I'm starting to think its a problem with the phone itself and not the charger or cord as they work fine with all my other devices just not the Optimus G

I use all sorts of cables and so far the only time I see "Slow charging" is when it's plugged into my laptop or one of my USB hub. Those are the only times I could narrow mine down to.
In the car I use cheapo monoprice cable and charger, in the bedroom it's using the charger and cable from my HTC inspire. By my PC I have a Belkin 6 plug 2 usb wall charger installed with the stock cable, and at the office an iPhone 1G wall plug. I don't think I have even plugged in the oem charger that came with it.
My G5 H850 died after 3 months. I just got it back and they replaced the mainboard and battery under warranty. Now it wont quick charge with my original LG charger and cable OR my Anker Quick Charge 3 charger. It never says "Quick Charging", it was fine before. I have voltage \ current monitors connected to all my chargers, I think it used to get up to 7v @ 1.5A on my Anker QC3, now it's 5v @ 1A or less! I removed the voltage \ current monitors to see if they were affecting the charge rate but it still never Quick Charges.
Have they disabled it because of hardware issues?
might be a component issue but I can confirm my phone is fine with v10d firmware
Thanks.
I have v10d too. There's definitely no way to disable it in software? I've looked in all menus including developer options.
I'm going to buy a new type-c cable to see if anything happened in the 3 weeks the phone was broken \ away for repair even though I've tried 3 cables already.
I just noticed none of my OTG USB memory sticks work either! Phone goes into a loop asking what to do with the USB connection. Looks like LG fitted another faulty mainboard FFS. I'll have to send it back for 3 weeks then spend a full day reloading apps and setting it up when it comes back. Getting a bit annoyed tbh.
I have only been able to get fast-charging working with an Amazon USB-A to USB-C cable and the original LG charger. I tried an "Archeer" charger with USB A and USB C and neither would fast-charge, and I have an Anker charger here that won't fast-charge with the cable that came with it or my 3m CableCreation USB-C to USB-C cable. I have never got USB-C to USB-C fast-charging working.
Do LG sell their own cables for this? I'll buy one if that's what it takes. I'm on v10d but I want v10e.
I have several qc chargers, choetech and aukey, 6 way, normal mains, car, power bank and they all work and say fast charging.
I suspect there is some wrong with your usb data pins, they are used to negotiate qc. Obviously also needed for otg. Probably a pc connection wont work either. You could try cleaning the port, other than that I'd say it needs to go back
I realize that the phone can only be charged with the OEM microusb cable, not my old cables that worked perfectly for older Android phones. Later I learned that this is about the Qualcomm Quick Charge technology. I would like to get another pair of charger/cable, so what should I get? I searched "quick charge micro usb cable" on eBay and Amazon but many of them are for Samsung phones, and I am not sure whether they will work with this Xperia X. Any suggestions? Thanks
