My LG v60 from Verizon recently have some charging issue such as it'll just stop charging at 90% or randomly disconnect and reconnect to the charger repeatedly. I've tried dozens of chargers, from QC4.0 to USB PD 3.0, it just keeps happening. is there any chance it's a software bug? or I'll have to send it to a repair shop?
Same issue here. Many people with similar issues reported for years on Reddit. Seems to be an issue with physical tolerances on the charging port itself
It is quite likely that some of the files configuring the charging process are damaged. Have you tried to flash a new firmware for Verizon V60? If you do, please use the partition mode to start out with a clean slate. If your problem is software-related (which it probably is), this should fix it unless the Verizon-released firmware itself has defective code. But you could give it a try.

Hi,
I've had a problem with the phone out of the box: when the phone is connected to the charger (non Samsung charger) or the USB in the computer, the touch screen bearly responds. I try to use the phone but it's like the touch panel does not respond, or sometimes it responds and some time it doesn't. Once I disconnect the charger, it goes back to being fully functional.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to fix this? Is there an app in the market to test whether there is a problem?
Gosh, I hope this is not a HW problem..
Thanks.
I'm guessing that the flow of the electricity might be causing interference to the capacitive sensor as I've experienced this a couple of times on my SGS1.
Haven't had this issue though on SGS2.
Some of the HTC Evo 4G phones had a similar issue when it was launched last year. HTC was able to fix it with a software update. But I don't know if your phone ihas the same underlying cause. If it is easy for you to return, you may want to try that rather than waiting for a fix.
I have a Galaxy S1 and had a similar problem. I bought a non samsung usb cable to charge my phone and it caused it to be unresponsive while connected. As soon as I disconnected it, the phone returned to normal. I bought some samsung data cables from ebay and never had the problem since.
A friend of mine had a Blackberry (i think), and used my samsung cable to try to charge his phone in my car. It never worked.....or atleast his phone never said it was charging.
My guess is the cables may have the same connector, but the wiring my be different.
I could be completely wrong though, but this is the experience I had with the original galaxy s
I've had the same problem with the galaxy s 1. No matter what charger I used though charging via usb made it better.
Happens with a lot of phones, Aridoasis above hit the nail on the head.
If you read the manual you will see that it say that that will happen of you are connected to an unstable power source. Which I think will happen when the cable used to charge the phone somehow doesn't match it.
This happens to me when I used a standard micro USB cable to charge it. But goes away when I use my ATRIX's USB power charger

Does anyone know what might cause this? Is it a problem with my USB port? I noticed it with my home and my work wall chargers.
Before I call Verizon (whom it has been reported is out of Rezounds, and I'm unlocked/rooted), I was hoping for some advice.
Thanks.
An update -- now after I unplug it from an actual PC, sometimes the USB/Charge and USB Debugging symbols remain in the Notifications bar. Could that mean the pins on my actual microUSB port are defective? I've now tested with a 2.1A wall unit too, and every charger I've tried has been a new USB cord.
Oh and just to rule out software I tried in Safe Mode too, no help. Anyone have an idea aside from calling up Verizon (which I will do after my long weekend out of town)?
I've developed the same issue on both of mine I've had. My solution was to simply run a kernel with a Force AC Charge option built in. Have to be careful, however, as the option may cause excessive heating of the battery if you do any intense usage under charging status (playing a game, trying to run GPS navigation, etc.) It rarely poses an issue, but just a heads-up.
You should never use your phone while charging it alwYs turn it off and set it down. When you are charging ylur phone resistors and capacitors are heatingbup your phone now if you are on it talking on it basicly you are heating up the whole board and if it gets hit enough it will losen the solder from the joint and may cause a chip creep effect on the board causi ng varios problems that are very hard to troubleshoot

Try a different USB cable. I've had cables that would charge only, no data. Drove me nuts, I thought it was HTC drivers. Swapped cables fixed it.
The charger is presenting itself in a way that looks like USB. This is very common because iDevices will not charge at all unless the charger does this, so if a manufacturer wants to support iPhones/iPads, they make the charger in this way. Unfortunately, Android devices limit themselves to 500mA when the charger is made like this. Yes, many kernels have fast charge options that make the phone ignore this, but my advice is to get a charger made specifically for Android. Use the one that came in your HTC box as a wall charger if you can. Get the Verizon branded car charger...it charges Android devices correctly.
Yeah, there are many chargers that leave the USB contacts active. Thing is, I've had an HTC branded one that used to show AC at first turn USB on me... Everything else shows USB too unless I force AC in the kernel. Seems like some other condition, degradation or something.
Thanks for the responses so far. I have tried three different wall chargers, each with a different USB cable. Other phones show AC but not mine. At the moment, plugged into the HTC wall wart, I am being asked of I want "charge only" or "disk drive".
Could this be a software related issue? It was mentioned that some ROMS have a force - AC but I am on the newest non Global RUU, unlocked S On, and rooted with TWRP as recovery.
Bump -- is there any chance the RUU and then unlocking and putting TWRP on could cause this issue? Verizon is trying to get me to run a factory reset to "fix it".
Ugh.
Hi
Just received my P9000 and updated to the new OTA 20160419 right away.
My problem is that I can only charge the phone once, then I have to do a power off to be able to recharge it.
I have tried with both standard USB charger, a "real" USB-C charger and QI. The results are the same.
When the phone is power-off the charging works as expected, so the hardware seems OK.
Anyone else seen anything like this or am I just the lucky owner of a defect phone?
Regards
Jakob
Sounds like a defective unit to me. Perhaps try first with another USB-C cable (see other thread on the dodgy cable Elephone ship the phone with) before sending phone back.
I would advice the same. Seems like a faulty device. First try using a different charging cable, I am pretty convinced that should help.
If not, its a hardware related problem I guess
I have tried with both other cables and with 2 different QI chargers. Same result. I have send a question to the reseller.
I updated my phone ....(elephone p9000lite ) few days ago and that was the point charging problem wosen .....24hours of charging only to give 35 %...plz help
Same problem phone had updates now phone won't charge unless turned right off can any one help
All of a sudden the USB port on my one year old V10 is having issues:
Won't "fast-charge" when plugged in to LG fast-charger. But does do and show that it is "regular" slow charging.
When unplugged, status bar battery icon still showing charging animation.
Does not switch (or give option to switch) to data when USB is plugged into computer nor does it appear as device on computer as it did before.
Battery is draining very fast, probably 2-3 times as fast as it should.
Also doing the following, don't know if related to USB issue:
When I power off completely, before, I had to press and hold down power button to power back on, and would also get a quick vibrate.
Now when phone is off, just quickly tapping power button for split second powers on phone and get no vibrate. Also when phone is off, plugging in charging cable powers on phone.
These issues just appeared out of the blue yesterday. Nothing has happened to phone - not dropped, exposed to moisture, didn't install any new apps, flash a rom, nothing new done to phone. It just started happening. :crying:
I would say that this is being caused by one of 2 things:
1. Bad charging adapter and/or cable. Either use another charger/cable, or buy an original LG fast charger replacement from somewhere like Amazon. 3rd-party stuff may or may not work out well, I would stick with LG if you want to play it safe.
2. The actual charging port on the phone is bad. In this case, no charger/cable will fix it. This will probably mean buying a new phone, unless you have warranty/insurance, the cost of getting it repaired won't be justifiable.
So far one of my 2 LG cables have gone bad, developed a split in the wire, now it charges my phone sometimes, but sometimes not. And it rarely works for copying files to/from PC. My other cable works fine for the most part.

I have 2 OEM LG Fast Charge 2.0 cable and brick sets, the one it originally came with plus another one I bought. I also have a second OEM battery and LG battery cradle. I've tried all these plus others I have and all get the same result.
I mostly use the cradle to keep the second battery charged and swap them out as needed each day, so I don't actually do much charging on the phone. I also use SambaDroid to move files to a PC, so the only real problem this is causing is rapid battery drain. I'm no expert but I'm guessing there's a pin in the USB port that is shorting somehow and that it's causing the battery to drain. Any hardware experts out there? I need this phone to last another year so am willing to try minor surgery if it would help and if I can find a good guide to follow.
Edit: SambaDroid not working in Marshmallow. I also sometimes just take out the SD card and pop it in a card reader.
I'm wondering if anyone has suffered with and recovered from the sudden case of no charging/USB>PC recognition?
I've seen countless similar stories across the web, covering many of the Z Family. Some were simple reset jobbies, and I've seen as in-depth as what I'm assuming is an IC being removed, flux cleaned and re-applied (w ww .you tube. com/watch?v=ZyCeNfc99a0).
I purchased a new charger port and also a new battery, as I figured with all the insane constant burning of my pocket, it could use a new one. I'd hoped it was just a charger port issue, but much to my dismay, the issue still persists after fitting them.
I've tried every single button combination "fix", and all to no avail. Multiple leads, charger units, all that polava. Checked and cleaned connections with isopropyl alcohol, checked for burned-out looking mainboard components, at least those that are visible.
I was having minor inconsistent charging issues for a while, up until last Friday. I figured it was the USB port on the phone or the leads, and put it down to general wear and tear.
Last Friday I was at my mates house with super low battery, popped it on charge round his and I noticed it had died completely and kept boot cycling, like the charger was being plugged in and taken out over and over.
I took it out and tried it when I got home with the regular charger, and nothing. My phone is otherwise in mint condition and has been looked after since day one release in the UK.
I'm wondering if some super helpful person here would possibly have some other alternatives that haven't been mentioned, whether a hardware bypass or some trick that isn't amidst the countless cries for help out there.
Many thanks in advance.
Hello,
I have a problem when connecting to a charger it will go in strange charging mode that actually does not charge. It makes the sound like a charger is connected, no charging animation on battery though...
The problem for me it was the USB cable used for charging (i have changed 5 of them in 1 and a half years). Also same behavior happens when using a under 1A wall charger.
P.S. : The USB cables that i have changed they still work fine with other devices/phones .... but not with my Z5C. I`m not sure what but is definetly something wrong withe phone usb port (and it is not dirt).
no, but
I cannot get a usable USB connection to my computer, but if I hold Volume Up while connecting the USB cable to the computer, the charger LED turns red for a moment, then blue. It WILL charge in this mode, which I think is fastboot mode. Someone said it bypasses the charge circuitry or software, which makes me think that maybe I could go into developer mode and turn on OEM unlocking to see if I can stop it from trying to optimize charging. I also have not tried all the USB connection modes yet.
I tried to charge with this blue light technique on the wall charger, but that did not work. Just ran the battery down again and I could not boot the phone.
I know if I press Volume Down while connecting the USB cable to my computer that the charger LED turns green, but I am not sure it will charge in that mode. I think this is for flashing or something, but since my computer does not recognize the USB device no matter what I do, I don't think flashing is an option.
Oh, and when I do charge the phone with the blue light special (old obscure USA discount retailer reference), for some reason the charger LED flashes white every 4 to 5 seconds, but it seems to keep enough charge to get me through at least the day until I can charge again by same method.
Maybe we can keep pooling info here. I got the blue light technique from someone else on this site, so there are people here who know quite a bit about this phone, thankfully.
Well, I had that issue, too (at least it sounds pretty familiar).

Does your phone also believe to be connected to "something" all the time?
I fear there is some IC fried, although I never dared to open my phone.
My "solution" was to talk my local salesman into giving me a (used, but working) replacement phone, and I did not want him to find any traces of DIY
So, no, I never found a technical solution, probably they just scrapped my phone for spare parts, idk.
The root cause for my error (probably) was a faulty charger, therefore I am pretty sure I fried something hardware-like, but depending on your cause, ymmv.
Anyway, trying to clean your USB port, re-soldering the connector and/or replacing the battery sounds like being worth a try, anyway.
// edit: "cat /sys/class/power_supply/usb/present" used to always output 1, even when not connected. On my now-good Z5C this works like it should (connected ->1, not connected -> 0)
Hey people. I have tried all the tricks for several days. Tried several charging cables. Nothing worked for me. I just brought a new phone, and it came with a cheapo charging cable. Decided to plug it into my Xperia and it worked. Maybe a little fairy fixed my phone when I was out buying a new one. Anyway, I'm love my Xperia Z5. Using it right now. Good luck people
