[Q] 3800mAh Extended Battery

I recently bought a spare battery for my phone knowing that the original battery sucked. But the problem is I can't get it to work :crying:. Whenever I plug it into the wall charger. The front 3 touch buttons starts to flash but nothing happen. I tried booting the phone up and still nothing. Someone please help. I also tried googling it. still no go.

Leave it plugged in. You don't even have enough battery power to start the phone. let it charge for a bit

Sounds like the battery is faulty to me (assuming your original battery works fine with the phone).

The flashing touch panels means a completely depleted battery.
Are you using the stock charger that came with your Nitro?...You HAVE TO use the stock (or similar charger that pushes at least 1A, might even be 1.1A) in order to "kickstart" the battery to charge up from that depleted state.

You can also try a battery charger.
Another option is to buy a cheap generic charger, cut out the connector that goes to the phone, get the + & - cables apart and use it to charge the battery.
Btw if you HAVE to this either your phone faulty or the battery is bad quality. I hope is the battery. Completely drain your stock battery and try the same thing.

Has anyone else noticed that this is NOT 3800Mah.? I used it today and did notice an improvement but nothing great and it certainly wasn't as long as a large battery like thay should be. The extra inch isn't worth the extra battery. So for now its become a backup

Ok currently I'm leaving the battery to charge with my phone for the whole day and let's see what happens. I'm currently using an iPhone charger head and a microUSB cable. Is that ok? When will I know it's out of the dead battery state? Is it when it lights up to the battery charging screen? So sorry the overwhelming questions. I really do not know.

Use the lg charging block and cable that came with the phone. If you get nothing after a few minutes try removing the battery for a minute. Reinstall and try charging again. That could do the trick.

No, an iPhone charger will not work. You will only be able to get 0.5A (500mA) from an Apple charger when used with an Android phone (because Apple uses its own proprietary spec with USB charging). Any non-Apple charger rated at over 1A (1000mA) should work.

Thanks for heads up. What if I use my samsung tablet charger? It gives of 2A. Is that better?

Should work. Keep in mind a 2A charger just means it's capable of drawing up to a maximum of 2A, but the Nitro HD won't actually use all of it. So it's safe to use a charger that is rated 2A.

I use an iPhone USB to AC adapter with a charging cable for what is marked as an HTC phone... no problems.

6hrs on charge and only 91%???

So I immediately fell in love with the fast charging capability of this phone. Unfortunately ive noticed its not charging as fast as it used to. I ran it down to 2% yesterday and put it on the charge. I get the slow charge in the notification, which ive been getting a lot, so I unplug and replug and it dosent return. 2hrs later I'm at 28%, when I wake up to go to work its only at 91%, problem is I woke up for work at 10 and put it on the charge at like 3:45. Anyone else noticed this?? This isnt the first time its happened just never this bad... I'm using the stock charger. I tried others but same thing. Get slow charge, unplug then replug it goes away havent had a chance to test charge time withem yet tho. I think its the charger but wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue. I'm rooted and turned the thermal throttleing off. Any ideas?

Did you plug in wall wallet charge or notebook's USB cord? On wall it should charge in 3+ hrs
In my case I just swap the batteries of my F240 and don't know how much time it has to fully charge

Yeah I plugged it into a wall, then this morning i did the same thing and it went from 45% to 95 in 45min... dunno lol I'll try cleaning the leads it spends a lotta time in my pocket and the inconsistancy seems like something stupid like that lol

I've noticed sometimes that if it doesn't make a good connection it will say Slow Charge in the status bar. When that happens I just disconnect and reconnect.

I used a different cable from a Kindle because it was larger. Figured as long as it was connected to the same wall adapter the phone came with it would be fine. Unfortunately it looks like the only way to get the fast charge speed into use LG's cable which is way to short.

That would be weird if the cable had anything to do with it.

Oh I assure you it did for me. Try a generic cable or one from a normally allow charging device for yourself. I haven't tried a cable from any of the other large battery devices yet. I'd imagine a galaxy s4 cable or something would work.

Definitely does! Every android I've had would refuse to charge with the wrong cable. My wife's GS3 cable doesn't charge my phone with the lg charger. It just let's it use the outlet for power. Weirdest thing.:what:

For the record, at work I have a samsung wall charger and a cable from monoprice. It charges quickly, without a slow charge warning. At home, I'm using Samsung wall charger with samsung cable, and the same quick results. It doesn't have to be the stock charger/cable, just make sure it's one of quality.

App for indicating the Nexus is wirelessly charging?

I have an annoyance with my Qi wireless charger. I put the tablet on the charger at night when I'm half asleep and in the morning I find it hasn't charged. Sometimes the screen will light up when it's placed on the charger properly, but not always.
What I'm looking for is an app or a setting where I KNOW for sure that the Nexus is charging - preferably without lighting up the whole screen and keeping me awake. Anyone know of one?

cant you just see if its charging from the battery icon in the notification bar? doesnt it also say when the device is chargin on the lockscreen? i use both of these methods to check for this when i use my wireless charger. not sure if a custom rom is needed for this, as i havent run anything on stock android since its debut

In order to see the notification bar or the lockscreen, I would have to be awake enough to push the power button and light up the entire screen.
As I said, what I want is a way to know that the tablet is charging without having to light up the screen.

The nexus 7 has a notification led. You can use an app like Light Flow to set pulsing pattern when it's charging.
I have mine to turn off the led when fully charged.

My G2 has Qi and the Notification LED pulses when charging. Its red for battery.
On my Nexus 7, I just position the tab until the screen turns on (when Qi pairs) and says charging on the lockscreen. Then I just close my hardbook case and its done.
Or get a better Qi pad that has multiple transmitters so it isn't as particular on placement.

Yeah I'd get a better charger for it or drink loads of water before you go to bed so that when you get up to go to the toilet you can then check it the normal way.

i have a cheap wireless charger and it wont charge my SGS4 & Nexus 4 (previously own) and now Nexus 5.. but amazingly it working perfectly without any problem with my Nexus 7 Deb... - Slimkat + Elementalx
And I also have official Nexus 4 orb and I do have problem to use it with Nexus 5.. sometimes It'll make my phone overheated..but i experience the problem only on few custom roms/kernels..
now its good on unofficial Liquid + Chaos v6
:fingers-crossed:

There's an xposed module that will do this. It's in the xposed installer downloads section.

Qi Wireless Charging Question

I have been using my G3 with the following chargers.
1. CAR - http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.9.312.b3nISV&id=19923741183&_u=r5ljepd1b56
2. HOME - http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.9.298.b3nISV&id=2030530342&_u=r5ljepdfb71
For the CAR charger, the phone keep asking me place the phone in center of Hot Zone.
Or will charge for a few seconds and stops, and charge and stop...repeat.
For the HOME charger, it ask me to place the phone in center of Hot Zone, but once message disappear it charges fine.
I tried a long time and can't find the perfect spot.
Can someone point me to right HOT ZONE on the phone??

Hi, the same thing keeps happening to my g3 whenever I try and charge it wirelessly.
Just to ask did you buy one of the budget qi chargers?
I bought one for £7 on ebay, thing is it charges my Nexus 4 perfectly fine, just can't seem to get a good angle with my G3.

The price was the same as the link I posted. Around 30-40usd each. The charger is fine with my nexus as well just not g3.
Seem to me as though the charger coil on the g3 back cover is very small that is causing the issue.
Sent from my LG-F400S using XDA Free mobile app

Yeah I took the cover off my G3 to see if I could see any hint as to how big the coils were or where they were placed but couldn't really see anything.
Did you actually buy your chargers on taobao? I wouldn't trust anything on there to be of good quality.
Maybe the G3 has trouble working with cheap chargers, the proper LG one's i've heard work really well.
I was thinking of getting a better charger, perhaps one with 3 coils see if that makes a difference..

Yeah I got it directly off taobao, there wasn't a good selection of charger when I got the nexus. And especially it was so hard to find a good car charger.
Guess I have no choice but to get the official lg one now.
Sent from my LG-F400S using XDA Free mobile app

I have the same problem with a generic circular one. If the screen is on, the message about the hot zone pops up. If the screen is off however, the charging message pops up. But it does this every few seconds, every time the screen goes off.
If I look at the inside of the cover on mine, I can clearly see the coil layout (you have to look at an angle, under a light) The coil I see looks about the same as a standard one.
The issue, I think, may be down to the NFC coil being in the same location. Qi is supposed to detect foreign metal objects such as keys & coins, and will turn off if they are detected. Maybe the NFC coil is interfering with Qi and the official LG charger has been designed to overcome this issue.

I haven't been able to find the official charger at retail.
Here I have found it on Taobao, the price is pretty steep though about 50USD.
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.46.d314Hi&id=39277673920&ns=1#detail

I got the official charger but same problem for me. Says its loading but when the screen goes of it pops back up. The charger is working fine with my Nexus 7. Anyone who solved this problem yet?

I also have this problem with a premium charger I bought for my note 3. Keeps on telling me to put it in the hot spot and then won't charge. Looks like another problem for the g3 and I'm beginning to wish that I'd kept my note 3

Please help
This is my second try to get an answer to this question. Does anyone here have a us LG G3? The reason I'm asking is I have seen two different charging pin locations one is the international one which has a space between pins 2 and 3and the Korean version which has no spaces between the pins. I want to buy a charging cover and don't know which one to get so hopefully someone here can let me know. Thanks in advance.

i thought only me have this problem.
im using official LG G3 charger WCD-100, while charging the G3, sometimes charging stop for a second and continue. happen so often. the wireless charging notification annoy me, not sure if charging with random disconnect will make the battery life cycle worse
when charging my nexus 5 with the same wireless chager, the charging went smooth, no disconnect happen
i check the back cover and clean the pin, nothing changes, still got random disconnect

Hi to all!
I just got my new LG G3 phone and starting to familiarize its usage. Though one thing I can't figure out is the wireless charging indicator pops up every after 30 seconds or so. Is there any configuration I can set to disable this?
Thanks!

I'm using a generic charger from dx (the round black one) and positioning is sensitive, but it does work and doesn't keep popping up asking me to reposition it.

I also have a round puck charger and and also one of those Lugalake qi chargers with integrated battery. UK phone.
In both cases the G3 just sits and whines about positioning. The puck thinks it's charging and the battery level increases but the back of the phone gets very hot so I don't think it's 100% right. A hot zone, for sure.

Exact same problem. I am currently using G3 Tweaks Box to remove the annoying notifications that pops up every now and then, but no solution to the actual issue of the phone not charging consistently. Not sure if its the phone or the charger, but am currently thinking of swapping to a better charging stand (the WCD-100 looks pretty inconsistent with the premium look of the phone, plus I'm using a black G3) and hoping that the charging issue would be resolved.

I have the LG WCP-300 and I get the placing message as well, but it charges the phone without any issues. .

Wireless charging fix

The default Samsung wireless chargers are having major issues with it pausing and screen waking.
Two fixes:
Set daydream on in display in settings. If screen locks or sleeps is the claiming issue of the pausing.
Or
Try using the default charger and cord that came with the phone.
The second option worked for me more than the first.
I think the issue is the long cord, so the current is weaker.

I don't have those issues

Wish i could get mine to work. I have tried turning on daydream but i dont want my screen to stay on the whole time its charging so i turned it back off

I can tell u on mine it is not a software issue. And i dont thinks its my charger. I can put my regular s6 on there all day and not have it stop charging. Every time i put my plus on there it wont stay charging. Keeps saying charging paused after a short time and the blue light keeps blinking. Reason i doubt its a software issue is it does the same thing when phone is fully shut down

This cant be right. Its a hardware issue with the phone itself. Prob something to do with the actual fast charging reciever inside the phone. I have charged my regular s6 without any issues dozens of times on the same charging pad that wont charge the edge+ or note 5. If yours works with the note5 or edge + then u got lucky.

wireless charging issues
If any one still has wireless charging issues if you go to developer options and activate the stay awake while charging feature, the phone charges without pausing. My phone was experiencing the pausing while mid charge even after the update. I tried the daydream method that didnt work. But trying the stay awake while charging in the developer options drop down. It charges without pausing. Sweet!!! i thought i was going to have to buy a new charger, this one was free.
