Hello,
My LG G5 battery is not charging properly while plugged in and using the phone at the same time. The connected icon is displayed but the battery percentage keeps going down.
I use LG original usb cable and 2.4A charger. So i guess my charger and cable shouldn't be the issues.
This is not normal for Android phones although it is recommended to leave the phone untouched while charging.
Do you know any battery application to at least make the battery percentage not going down? I currently use greenify to maximise the number of background apps to be hibernated (non rooted).
Thanks.

New to VM & Android. Picked up two Optimus V phones a couple of weeks ago. While on the wall charger, both exhibit different behaviors once they've reached full charge.
On one Optimus, once the phone is 100% charged, it says "Full Charge" (or "Fully") on the lock screen. As it stays on the wall charger, the status remains full charge - there is no discharge.
However, on the other Optimus, once it reaches 100% charge, there is no mention of any charging status on the lock screen. And when I check the status in the settings, the phone shows that it is discharging, even though it remains on the wall charger.
The discharging status bears itself out as it remains on the charger, I'll eventually see the percentage of battery life drop.
Did I inadvertently switch a setting? The phone discharging itself once it reaches full charge even when on the wall charger is a problem. This is especially evident when I leave the phone on the charger overnight. In the morning, instead of starting the day fully charged, I'll see it at about 80% charged.
Thanks for any help.
There are not any settings in the Android operating system that affect charging directly. This is more a function of the kernel/hardware specific. This is why some phones can charge while off and others must be turned on. Try trading chargers/batteries between the two phones and see if the problem follows the hardware. Be sure and do this one part at a time, i.e. first trade batteries. Then if that isn't it trade chargers. You could have a bad battery and/ or charger. Also, are you rooted? Running custom Rom? These factors can also affect your situation.
Thanks for your advice. I followed what you instructed. First, switched the chargers to no avail. I changed the batteries and still no change.
It's odd to see two different behaviors exhibited by the same model phone. Both phone are unrooted running stock rom. As I indicated, one phone (which I consider the normal one) does not discharge as long as it's plugged in. The second phone starts discharging once full, even though it's plugged in.
The problem is when I leave it plugged in overnight - if I don't catch it at the moment it reaches complete charge, it'll discharge. Since I'm asleep when the phone reaches a full charge sometime in the night, by the time I wake up, I'll leave the home with a phone that is 60-80% charged.
I'll chalk this up to something faulty with the board and just turn it back in to Target.
does anyone know if its possible to find out if the s3 is really charging or not? ive been plugged in and it's still discharging. I need to know if its hardware or software related. when plugged in it has a lightning on the battery and it has red led when display is off but its really slow on charging

The battery does not charge to 100 %, this is not a defect in the phone but rather a sort of internal protection so as to not damage the battery. Indeed, it happens many times to leave the phone connected to the charger much more time necezzario.
The battery by doing so you may receive a surplus of energy than necessary, and in the long run, deteriorate more quickly. Samsung has inserted inside the Galaxy S3 a limiter that operates in the following way: while the phone is charging, you download slightly of 2-3% for then recharge automatically up to 100 %. This process is repeated automatically from your phone until it is removed from the charger.

If necessary make a battery calibration uses these applications ; https://play.google.com/store/search?q=calibration&c=apps
While plugged in go to settings/battery and see if it is ac charging or usb charging....I've had this problem with the new cable and plug, it only charges at usb rate, use my old S1 charger now, BlackBerry one worked for me as well

Hmm, im not talking about when it charges at 100 % im talking about when it charges in mid ranges like 50 or 80. It shows charging but an hour passed but it didnt even increase to 2 percent
Are you on an original rom or a custom / leaked one?
Have you tried another charger or computer?
It may take some time to charge on slower chargers (the ones only outputting 0.5Amp) but it definitively should not be discharging when connected to a charger with the screen off.
Im on stock firmware. Using the wall outlet ti charge the phone
I've started the habit of waiting for the battery in my phone to reach about 5 to 10 % before switching out the battery for the one I've charged in the cradle. This is all fine and dandy,but recently I've been unable to charge my phone just by plugging it in normally. I'll get notifications in the the battery indicator that it's charging and the quick charging notification in the drop down. However in the battery status menu in the settings it will say not charging. I'm using the stock quick charger and the stock cable to charge both my phone and the battery, though it only works in the cradle charger. I don't know if switching the battery relatively frequently is causing this problem and I just need to discharge this battery fully while in the phone as perhaps the phone is indicating a higher battery percentage then what is true. Either way I was wondering if anyone has either delt with this issue or has any ideas on what I should try to remedy this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Has anyone tried just plugging the battery into a module and charging it externally

It doesn't work, as far as I tried (only once)
Not sure though, i need to recheck! If it does charge, then i think it'd be worth to buy a spare battery!
First off do a test see i have a spare bottom module and spare battery i am going to test it plug cable in for 1 :15 completely dead battery see what happens
No, it will only work if the module is attached to the phone as the battery's contacts are at the other side. However, LG also provides an external battery charger.
Just buy the BCK (Battery charging kit) for the G5. It comes with an extra battery and it's totally worth.
Anyone using this battery charging case? Bought one from Amazon a week ago, it works great but there is one problem.
As we know when just charge the phone using any USB C cable. I usually charge it at night when I goto bed, so when it charges the phone up to 100% full and the phone will remain 100% unless I unplug the charger (doesn't matter how many hours or days)
But if I put the Alpatronix battery case on my phone, when I charge it all together (according to the manual , it was programmed to charge my galaxy s8 first then battery case) When my phone reaches 100% it stopped charging and I can see the battery starts draining even though my charge cable still connected. This is what I don't understand. I tested it with straight charging cable and wireless charging. Both end up the same with the Battery case attached. It will charge my phone and the battery case for sure, but it stops charging while my phone reaches 100%. And when it starts draining from 100 to 99 and so on. It will not automatically charge my phone itself till it is full. It will only charge the phone when I am not using battery case. My phone will remain 100% all the time with charge cable connected. No matter how long I have the phone connected to the charger, hrs, days. It will keep it 100%. I wonder what is the main problem? Would it be a defective Alpatronix battery case?
I think it is normal?
I've had many kind of power bank, which is the same principle as battery case. Most of them stopped charging when phone battery is full, and yes, you need to initiate the charging again if the phone battery starts decreasing (usually by pressing the button).
Well, there are several "smart" power banks that starts charging when you plug in the phone, and does trickle charging when the phone is full. But, what I want to say is that not every power bank is made of the same system.

Are you talking about power bank or battery case?
If you know any battery case that has the feature I mentioned above, can you give me the name?
I have a few power banks but I don't like carry it separately. Battery case is more convenient.
