Battery problem or faulty port? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Jinx
Phone shows charging over USB instead of AC charger....
It will work fine for a few days...then revert to this...before charging normally
I'm losing battery power while it is charging take forever to charge.. When it is working fine I'll charge in about 2 hours. Strange part is it goes back and forth
Shows low amps using ampere app when problem persists. With phone off charges like it normally would
It is not the cable or charger. I have tried a few
Is this a faulty charging port or battery issue? Confused at this point
It should display AC charger not USB charging with a AC charger
BTW I'm not holding USB cable on weird angles trying to charge it

USB port issue.

How sure are you about this? Had technician check it today said it is not the port or I wouldn't be ablle to charge at all

Phones fails to charge from time to time

Hi,
Anybody has any idea what can cause phone not to charge? I will connect USB charger and phone would not recognize that charger is connected (amber light would not come on etc).

could be a bad usb cable...
This is because custom wiring in there charging cables, reset the device with the cable plunged in and it should start.
I've also seen that my phione stops charging when the temperature gets too high. If I wait a while for it to cool off, I can continue to charge it.

charging problems

hello.
i have arhd 3.3, 12.41 radio.
i put my phone into wall socket last night at 23 30 and this morning at 5:30 phone was still charging at 73%. at 6 30 it was at 83%. then i switched it off and back on, pluged the charger in, and the led went green in like 2 minutes.
what's this? i have the phone for 3 days now. does it take that long to charge or is it a rom problem? i am using the original charger.
looks like a rom problem. Best way to know will be trying different roms.
dont know if it is a rom problem. i think is a radio problem.
install current widget and see what the input milli ampage is. This should give you an idea of if your having a charging issue. Also when you have charged to true 100% (Not when the LED goes green but when current widget says you are no longer receiving a current (0 Mah)) then reboot to recovery and wipe the battery statistics.
I can't see the radio giving you an issue on charging, unless it was using almost more juice than you are putting in. The only time I have ever seen that behaviour is when using a USB charging cable and navigation at the same time.
Hope this helps.
i am using the charger that came with the device that uses indeed an usb cable connected to it.

I meant a USB only (not original) charger. As the charger supplied is actually a wall charger and is rated to supply the device with more "juice" than a standard USB socket (i think are rated for 1mah charging??)
The scenario I am using is when you use a phone for navigating and have it plugged into a 12v socket in a car using a USB adapter which will only give the lowest permitted power rating.
so......i think i have a problem.
when i plug the phone into the wall socket it says charging(usb)
when i plug it in laptop usb using the cable the same charging(usb).
wasn't it supposed to say charging(ac)?

Not sure about that, but even so my DHD will charge from flat in less time than yours was plugged in, how warm / cold was the room you had the phone charging in? Possibly it's getting too hot whilst charging which would lead to the phone reducing the charge rate?
now it;s on charge from about 30 min. it's not even warm. the battery is reported to have 27*
You might be having a damaged battery try replacing it with a new one.
the phone is new.
could it be because of setcpu 230-1228?

Yes I think it's supposed to say charging AC. Try cleaning the usb connectors thoroughly.
Yeh being informed that it is chargng over USB when in the well is definitely wrong. I suggest trying to get another cable or something like a newer style blackberry charger.

not sure if you have tried this, but make sure the usb charger is plugged into the mains charger all the way in...mine was the same, saying usb charging and it was the cable itself

Yep. For some reason LG decided to go with a USB charger for the phone rather than straight to the mains...
Mine takes about 3 hours to charge fully, when plugged in, locked and connected to WiFi. You have to remember, the G3 has a big battery, bigger than some other phones, so you have to expect it to take longer. I plug it into my USB 3.0 port on my PC when I'm on it and it seems to charge faster (Although my motherboard has the option to turbo a port for charging so it may just be me).

Mine doesnt say usb charging just charges slow and i tried different chargers

Could just be that LG has set the phone up to detect all chargers as USB considering it comes with a USB charger...
Not sure if that's the reason why but it very well could be.

yeah i did that but still nothing
the battery drop sounds like a clibration problem - coupled with a possibly loose usb port? Had usb charging problems once but got it sorted out by trying to plug the usb cable into the port from "different angles" (carefully!)

You need this tool to find out which one is at fault:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...&_nkw=usb+current+and+voltage+tester&_sacat=0
Swap one by one: charger, USB cable, USB port until you find the problem. Make sure to use known working charger, cable for testing. USB port flex cable is not expensive, just around $5 to $9 on Ebay.
You should have ~ 5-->5.2 Volts, 1.5 -->1.7 Amps when charging. Anything lower than these readings, you have a problem with charger or cable or USB port.
You have to use elimination method to find out the problem as there are many unknown factors when battery is not charging.

warp charging issue

Warp charging doesn't go beyond 3.5Amps on ampere app causing slow charging rate shouldn't it give close to around 5.2Amps charging speed? Can anybody share their screenshot or is there a issue with my device

With Warp Charge there are several factors that come in to play. The charger itself, the USB Type-C Cable and your device.
Has Warp Charge ever worked on your device?
When the cable is connected do you see "Warp Charge" displayed on the screen?
Did the Ampere App ever show the maximum 5.9 amps or does it always show a maximum of 3.5 amps?
Are you using the original Warp Charge wall outlet adapter and original USB Type-C Cable?
If Warp Charge was working before, how long has it been since you last saw it work?
Have you modified the device at all?

Yes it was all working before I have earlier got 5.2 to 5.5 amps but from past couple of months it's been fixed at 3.5 amps now, and yes I have been using original warp charger provided and no haven't unlocked or rooted my device, could this be a problem with the device or any other fix for this?

Bought mine 2019-12 . few days ago (2020-03-30) warp charge stopped working, it still charged, but extremely slow like 40 percent an hour. When it was off i tried plugging in charger, but it started looping, it didn't boot to an animated picture with charging battery, but it still could boot into OS when power button was pressed. Did a factory reset, didn't help. Connecting to pc usb still recognizes it. Had a feeling it was a hardware error. Maybe fast charging module went bad.
Sent it for a warranty repair, got an answer that it will take more time because it was sent for an higher level service. I guess it's quite bad, it could be a motherboard fault.
I read on oneplus forums that quite a few people has a same issue.
Connect it to a pc, see if it is recognized. Mine stopped working & it was a bad USB Car port. It would still slow charge but no warp charge & no windows pc would recognize it connected
Hi! I have the same issue, only difference is that mine is sometimes charging at warp speed and most of the time at 3300 mAh "dash speed". Did you manage to see what the issue was?
