Put phone on wireless charging stand last night and woke up to a dead phone this morning.
It charges just fine if wired.
I have shut down and restarted my phone several times...
Any suggestions or reasons why this would happen.
Thanks in advance.
:good: I do hope you have checked the charging equipment first?? I've have had charging pads, as well as, chargers themselves fail!! I have a US998 30b V30 and a US998 20h V30+, working perfect!! Only device issue I've had was with an LG V3, the wireless pickup coil came loose from the back of the cover, and tore, damaging the pickup coil!! :good:

Yeah, I've had a couple of Qi wireless charging pad fail on me also.
It could also be if your usb port has gone bad.( Happened to me)
But after usb port replacement, the wireless charging started working again
Before posting i did check all my wireless chargers...all working fine...my phone charges fine by direct plug in... It simply stopped wireless charging.

I just picked up a Verizon LG G3 used...didn't come with the original charger all of my 2amp chargers are INCREDIBLY SLOW, like an hour for %1. I am stock but rooted. If I were using a crappy charger I would understand, but this is so strange. Any suggestions? Perhaps apps that force fast charging? I am new to the rooted scene... Thanks!

Rooting has nothing to do with it.
Either the phone is bad or your cable/charger.

i just got my G3 today and i am seeing a similar issue.
while setting up for about 2 hours, i gained maybe 4%.
turned off, it looks to charge pretty quick, went from 58% to 78% in less than a 1/2 hour.
while the screen is off, it seems to do, ok, not sure i would call it fast. gained 7% in 20 minutes.
i appreciate any thoughts, even if its a "mine isnt slow like that".
i bought it new from swappa (new), and need to figure out if i have an issue.
Thanks
Try to find an original lg charger man the g3 is the pickiest phone I've ever had with chargers(and cable) , everything except the oem charger that I've tried does the slow charge or the not charging thing. I have tried other quality chargers with it as well and they are slow so just try and get an oem one and see if that fixes the issue

those results were with the oem charger included in the box, also similar results while trying my g2 oem charger.
If it's charging slow with the oem cable charger combo it's a possibility it maybe a defect in the charger but again it maybe a hardware issue, get it swapped thru warranty if you can.

Very odd results here...
My Verizon LG G3 charge was quite low last night, so I plugged it into an LG OEM 1.2amp charger with a Samsung cable. It told me that setup was not supported, and it refused to charge At All, so I changed the cable to a gold-plated Monoprice one (excellent cables...I bought 10). No difference, still would not charge at all and it was down under 10%, so I was getting worried.
Then, on a whim, I plugged in an old HTC 1.0amp charger with the Monoprice cable. Fast charge ! Switched in the Samsung cable, still fast charge !
Less amps, not OEM, but fast charge. No charge at all from the LG 1.2amp charger, which was either from my N5 or N7.
All combos worked at A/C charge speeds on my Nexus5.
After the G3 charged for a while and got up well out of the Danger Zone, I plugged it back in to the combo it had previously told me was incompatible and refused to charge from. Now that it was at 50% or so, that same combo charged the G3 without any complaint !
It is beginning to look like there is some flaw in the G3 charging detection circuitry, where it will refuse to charge when very low from a charging combo that it will charge from just fine if it has more battery available.

From what other users have told me the G3 is just very picky when it comes to what charger you use. Mine is the same way. My Sammy charger from my S4 will only charge the G3 slowly.
Something on the Kernel side of things is my guess. It's not something that's terribly wrong with the phone... Just a pain in the ass.

My Samsung charger cable does the slow charge thing on my g3 as well.....yet this dinky cable I had to buy at a rental c as r counter after forgetting my cord on a trip works perfectly. Some cables I bought at 5 below won't work at all....but worked fine on other phones.

I'm using the stock cable but off my Macbook Pro usb 3.0 port. When using the phone it does not charge but actually drains the battery (very slowly). How do I determine if the phone is good to keep?

Mine charges when connected to my MacBook Air.
Also depends on what you are doing on the phone. Get a high quality cable.
Yesterday the wireless charging chip died in my V10. I'm using the official LG CPR-120 wireless charging back cover.
I tried both of my Tylt Vu chargers. The light on the charger is green, but the phone does not charge. My Note 4 still charges on both chargers, so I know they're good.
Wireless charging dying was a very common issue on the LG G4 due to a crappy wireless charging chip by IDT. Looks like LG used the same crappy chip in the V10.
T-Mobile is sending a replacement but I'm not going to charge my V10 wirelessly anymore, since it will just break again.
I have tried THREE (3) V10s and numerous versions of the wireless charging back including the supposed OEM CPR-120 from LG, Yootech stick ons for the standard back and three different wireless charging backs from Yootech (not that it matters but had one in white, black, and gold). In every case within a week of installing the different backs the V10 has stopped charging wirelessly and in fact actually discharges when on the wireless charger including a Tylt, Samsung and a Qi-Infinity 3 coil charger.
It appears the chip controlling the charging fails. The V10 charging indicator on the lock screen either flickers rapidly between charging or discharging, shows discharging or nothing at all. The charging pads indicate they see the V10 and lights display normally. All the V10s worked normally at first with wireless charging but then ended up failing to function with wireless charging anywhere from 1 day after installing the backs to about a week.
I called LG and was sent to escalated support after complaining the third time and asking to speak to a manager.. Josh (that is all the info would gime me but did say he was the only Josh at that level) claimed that the US version of the V10 was NOT compatible with wireless charging. Asking about the CPR-120 back, his explanation was that it was for the Korean version. At that point I was so angry that I just let it go and terminated the call.
I then looked at all the carriers website for info on the V10 specs. Could not find anything on Tmobile and ATT about wireless charging but Verizon did have a line saying it WAS compatible but it was necessary to buy the wireless back even though I could not find one on their site. T-mobile has been good enough to supply me with the two replacements after the original but I do not think they will buy off on a third. I had to go to a corporate store and show them the problem to get the third one. The normal cable charging works as it should including rapid charging. I am beginning to believe there is a real problem with the wireless charging chip in the V10.
I did not want to believe there was a problem and bit the bullet for the high dollar OEM back thinking that may have been the problem (using the gerneric brands of charging receivers) but every combination eventually failed and I now believe that whatever controls the wireless charging on the phone (guessing chip) is now permanently ruined or burnt up. Logic dictates that with 6 different chargers, three phones and five different charging receivers used in different combinations that the is a systemic problem with wireless charging on the V10!
So beware-- there may be some good V10s that will not have the issue but do not be surprised if you start using wireless charging and your V10 eventually fails in that mode.
Phone manufactured Oct. 25, 2015. Using LG CPR-120 wireless charging cover and Tylt Vu charger.
Wireless charging chip in the phone died after a month. Had to get a replacement from T-Mobile.
And yes, it's a known problem with the defective IDT P9025A wireless charging chips that LG has previously used in the G4, which were dying in droves.
IDT themselves released a revision to the chip, the P9025AC, and instructed manufacturers to stop using the original P9025A.
So this is definitely the case of LG using a known faulty part - the problem is to prove it to them and force them to stop using it, you might need expensive lawyers for that.
My V10 was an insurance replacement for my HTC Droid DNA. The V10 needed the special back for QI charging which I got from Amazon for an arm and 2 legs, (OEM Version). It worked, for a few days anyway. The light on my Tylt would come on like it was charging. If I was lucky the phone would beep that it was charging, notify on the screen that it was charging and then quickly back to discharging.
I drug everything to the Verizon Store and walked them through it, convinced them to go get a wireless charger to see for themselves. Then more convincing to get a stock V10 to put my OEM cover on since, of course, they didn't have any wireless charging backs of their own. My cover on the new phone charged just like it should have. Success! Not exactly, they couldn't just swap out the phone, I had to go back through the insurance company, Oh joy! They were actually very nice and called for me, but I still had to speak with them to explain that I was at the store and that THEY had determined that the phone was defective.
So Asurion puts me on hold and comes back to tell me that they don't have any V10s but I could get some other random lesser phone, I pitched a fit and told them I had just bought all of the accessories for this one after they switched me from my DNA, and that I wasn't going to switch again. Another hold, and they found one, in white, instead of black, I grumbled about it but finally relented by giving them a snarky comment that white would be fine as I would only have it for a week before the Qi chip burned out again and they'd be sending me another one anyway.
Phone will be delivered in a few hours. Fingers crossed that I am irritated with a white phone for several years, but I doubt it.

I bought a back (3rd party) off Amazon, didn't even work. In the process of seeing if it's a faulty back or a faulty phone, and moving from there. As soon as the new phones are released next month, I'll be ditching the V10, that's for sure.
Anyone tried the universal USB wireless charger like this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/161689530982 The only downside is that you have to use a case and you'll lose quick charge and PC sync.

Is the chip located in the genuine LG case? I thought its inside the V10 smartphone so the wireless charging fails permanently no matter which case I install afterwards?!
Have not tried it since I keep reading in various sites that the chip burns out and 'apparently' common with LG phones.
(It's my first one and only in my first month of using it).
Main reason is wireless charging is slow and waiting for the wireless tech to improve.
Not an issue yet. I bought a sticker for it off eBay back in March, and not an issue yet. I use a 'torn down' Samsung fast charge in the car, one next to my PC, and a Verizon tilt charger next to the bed, no issues on any of them. My biggest issue is the stupid Your Phone Is Charged, Unplug It and Save the World bit when it's done, but I haven't had any issues. I think because of access to chargers, I'm rarely below 80% at the end of the day. But I also got my phone new at T-Mobile in late February, so maybe I got updated charging parts.

I got mine in February 2016 as well (from Verizon). So I'm wondering if the P9025A chip was updated in later production of the phone. Good to hear that your wireless charging didn't crap out after a week. Is the wireless charging in anyone else's unit working?
Thanks
My wireless charging crapped out entirely after 2-1/2 months, ended up with a POS refurbished phone, and then LG screwed the software up in August and I switched to an S7 Edge.

I installed a charging sticker version specifically for the LG 10 (ebay purchase), the charging pad recognizes it, but the software says "not charging".
Left alone, the battery charge goes to zero. While on the charger, phone is fine, remove from charger, the phone dies.
Anyone experience this phenomenon? How did you overcome this?
Hey Guys
I'm in love w/ my LG V30, except I think my phone might have a major fault - it can't charge wirelessly. I have a samsung quick charge charging pad, which was able to wirelessly quick charge my S7E. When I put my v30 on it, it acknowledges that it's charging, except that it doesn't actually charge the phone at all... the phone battery actually drains over time.
Now, I read somewhere it doesn't support wireless quick charging, which is a shame, but putting the phone on a samsung wireless quick charger shouldn't DRAIN the phone, should it?
Is there a difference between a samsung wireless charger vs a generic qi-enabled charger that is causing an issue here? I really don't want to return the phone bc everything else seems to be working perfectly.
as a confirmation, I went and bought a generic qi charger on amazon just now. luckily they are cheap. Going to check if its something to do w/ my charger... but I never had issues w/ my S7E and this particular charger. Frustrating.
FWIW .. working fine on mine. Generic charger from Amazon
Just confirming that wireless charging is working with my V30 and the TYLT Wireless Charger.
https://www.amazon.com/TYLT-Wireles...sr=8-1&keywords=tylt+vu+wireless+charger&th=1
Last night I placed the V30 on the charger on my nightstand at a 28% charge and woke up this morning to a 100% charge. So I'm not seeing any issues wireless charging after my first night with the phone.
I'll test it on my wife's Samsung wireless charger later on.
well fml. I went to work and plugged my phone into my USB-C charger, the phone wouldn't charge at all. It was plugged in, battery properties said "plugged in - not charging". Something is up with my phone.
I restarted the phone, and now it seems to be charging fine via the USB-C charger, but I don't like this one bit. I shouldn't have to reboot my phone to get it to properly take a charge. Once my new charger arrives i'll test it. If I get the same results, I'm returning this phone for a replacement, which sucks.
FWIW mine charges wire-lessly just fine on my Samsung charging pad...
got my hands on another samsung wireless charger (non fast-charge model).
It's the flat hockey puck model. Fortunately, it appears to be charging now. So it looks like strangely something has gone wrong w/ my other wireless charger. I will continue to monitor this issue closely, but it looks like wireless charging is okay on my phone, and it's some sort of fluke issue with that particular charger. If anyone else sees any strange issues w/ wireless charging, please report. Perhaps we can narrow down the problem... if it's phone or charger related.
I would be quick to blame the charger, but as far as I know, the charger worked just fine w/ my S7E for the longest time.

Good to know that version works. Got a couple of free ones when I got my S6's.
Hi, just rooted the phone (I don't know if it is the reason), I am noticing that the phone turns on everytime a charge it.
Is this normal? How can I solve this issue?
Thank's in advance

Just don't put it on the Qi wireless charging pad. There, Qi wireless charging is "disabled".
If you don't want the phone on (and why wouldn't you?) just turn the phone off and plug in, instead of using Qi wireless charging pad.
If I'm sleeping I have my phone face down on bedside table, sound and vibration scheduled to be off, and plugged in charging. But since it's also my alarm, I have the sound scheduled to come back on a couple minutes before the alarm.
I have several USB-C 10ft/3 meter charging cords (you can get 3 for $8 with free shipping online).

This Qi wireless charging pad automatic turn on feature is great for when your power button malfunctions. Phones get older, things break.
On the Motorola Quark series (Droid Turbo/Moto Turbo/Moto Maxx) several people were able to figure out whether it was their power button that had jammed or whether their phone had actually died. Phone wouldn't turn on.
We told them [B"]Go to a carrier store. Put the phone on one of the Qi wireless charging pads on display. "[/b] If it turns on, it's the button. If it doesn't, you've got bigger issues.

The Qi Wireless Charger works whether your phone is charged or not.. I went to the Verizon store and asked to see the charger demo'd... I placed my powered off, Fully Charged, Broken-power-button-Droid Turbo on the charger and it Came to life.
I immediately configured the phone with an alternate power button app to control the screen on/off. FYI None of the apps I found will actually power the phone on from off, but will control the screen once it is powered.
I actually tried everything in this forum, short of the disassembly of the phone but that was next...
The program download.. Reboot Fast Boot; I couldn't get it to download correctly. after about 3 hours I quit... drove to the store and the rest is history. So Glad Not to have Lost everything!..

Luckily for many, it was "just" the power button.
Many people then actually bought a pad for the first time to keep their phones on until they could get the power button repaired.
