So it would seem that my charger is not working properly.. it still works I guess, but it charges my G about as fast as a usb port, which is not right obviously.
Strangely enough the phone charges fine using usb, albeit showing the "slow charging". When I plug in to the adapter in the wall, it doesn't show slow charging, it shows the battery icon animation with the bolt that would signify it is charging, however the phone doesn't warm at all and crawls by one percent every 10-15 minutes. The adapter itself doesn't even get warm to the touch like it used to.
So how can I get another adapter? I've looked online and can only find replacements for other models.. this adapter shows the output as a 5v 1.2 amp.
Is it okay to simply get another third party charger with the same power output? does anyone know?
Thanks!
You can. I use a 1A charger and have had no issues.

Awesome, thank you for confirming.. has anyone else experienced any weirdness with the chargers that they are aware of?
There's a handful of similar threads on here already.
My charger stopped charging my OG a couple if weeks after I got it. But, it still charges my wife's Galaxy S2 LTE HD.
And, the charger for my old Sony Xperia Pro charges the OG without issues.
See the other thread for more details.

Maybe it's just a crappy charger that LG is including with the second phones.

Oddly enough I purchased a new charger today., charged to 45% and then stopped.. the charger shows a green light as of the battery will not accept any further charge.
So I wiggled the usb cable and it starts charging again.. whats really weird is that using that cable charges when using usb just not a wall adapter so I will be trying with a different cable.

I had problems charging and it turned out to be the included USB cable. Switched to my cable I use for my Logitech harmony remote and no issues.

Indeed it is.. Tried a new charger first as mentioned above, but grabbed a new cable today and it appears to be exactly the problem. Strange considering that it works when using usb from a computer.. I guess it somehow is unable to charge at the rated 1A output using that cable.
Thankful that is working now.. so yeah, anyone who suffers from weird charging it would appear the cable can indeed be suspect
My the wall charger that came with my OG has the same problem. It started charging slow after a few weeks. I just used a different thing that goes into the wall but the same cable that came with my OG and it started charging fast again.
i am using my O3D charger for my Optimus G.. i havent had a problem yet.. so i would have a batter and say its the included cruddy charger from LG.

For sure, was my initial thought as well., however I can confirm that the charger is working fine just using a different cable.. so now I am just using the stock cable with my pc for transfers and charging and the new cable with the wall adapters.

The first day I got my E4GT I tried connecting my phone to a computer with the stock HTC USB cable from my old Evo to charge since there was no wall outlet around and the stock cord was in a box in another room. I found that the HTC charger did not charge my phone when plugged into the computer. I tried the same thing recently with an LG USB cable with the same results. The only cable that seems to work is the one that came with my device. Is this supposed to happen, or is my device just messed up?

The LG cable I used was from my mom's Optimus S. It did not show any signs of damage at all. When I plugged it in, the notification light turned on like normal when charging, but actually discharged as if there was no charger plugged in instead of charging.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
It could be that the older cables have worn data pins and don't allow the phone to negotiate charging power with the PC. If that is the case your phone could be using more than the 500ma supplied by usb and draining what's left in the battery.

That's how it is with me. The weird thing is, the OEM LG cable will charge both my mom and sister's Optimus S's via PC, plus my old Evo 4G will charge when plugged into a PC with that cable too. It's just my E4GT that won't.

IIRC the stock wall charger is rated at 1.8Ah. But, what is the phone's actual draw? Does it ever get up there near 1.8mAh?
I'm just trying to figure out if a car charger with "only 1000mA" will be sufficient. I'm guessing that the OEM wall charger is rated well above whatever the phone might ask for, but as to how much, I don't know.
I'm actually looking at these two right now as they both seem to give a pretty high output for both Android and Apple devices.

My experience with other phones is that the phone draws exactly what the stock charger gives it. I'd imagine it's the same with this one. 3140mah is a lot of battery to charge.

I'd agree. I charged it the first couple days using the OGP wall charger and USB cable from my Nexus 4. It took all night. Switched the cable with the one in the box, and it charges in like an hour!
I have a 2.1a car charger, and the OGPro charges in exactly the same amount of time as the stock wall charger.
Oddly, it charges slower from my 2a Note II charger.

Im looking at all of the chargers from Anker on Amazon. It seems they have the best positive reviews of anything I've seen. Although the 3.6 watt (white unit with either 2 usb ports or one port and a micro usb cable) unit is newer than the 3.1 (black heavy duty), the black unit can give the full 3.1 watts to either port or split it amongst the two ports. And according to Anker, either port will work for Apple or android. They suggested i get the newer (white) unit, but i want to have the full 3.1 watts available to a single port for future h higher powered devices.
I'll have to check those out. I've been looking at this one, which has good reviews on it.

My concern with that one is that it gives a total of 2.1A. So if you charge your OGP using one usb port, there's only 0.3A left for the other port. The disclaimer at the end of the description says that if you are charging an iPad to not use the second port. I'm guessing that warning would also apply too us with the high draw OGP. It also states that the blue light gets even brighter in the dark. You might need to cover the led if it's too bright,but that's a personal taste thing,and it might not actually be that intrusive. Lastly, do you have enough room in your vehicle to rest both your phone, and the head of the charging device? I have a dual outlet 12v supplier in my car, but i bought one that has no cord. The two outlets are rigidly mounted right at the end of the cigarette lighter plug.
I bought a Griffin Powerjolt single USB at Walmart. It only charges at full speed using the OGPro's stock cable. Any other cable is slower, and the cable from my old S2 gives me a "Slow Charging" notification.
Anyway, this charger is just a stop-gap. I'm going to be hard wiring two USB plugs into my truck's 12v system (with some 5v regulators and an Add-a-Circuit).
I was looking at the 3.6A charger, here's the link on amazon.
As I expected, one port is for Apple and one for Android. This is very irritating because I need to charge my OGP while my fiance charges her OG at the same time on trips.
Can our OGP charge at full speed on the Apple port?
Edit: I just read that the kernal in Android 4.2 fixes this issue so we can charge in any USB charger, including apple chargers. I'm guessing LG devices still on 4.1 won't benefit from this update.
Shouldn't going to Settings > PC Connection > USB Connection Type and then setting it to "Charge only" force the device to see any cable as a charge only cable thus making it charge faster?

As per Anker, the Apple port will charge Android at full speed. I have not verified this myself as I have not gotten mine yet, but that's what I'm told, and expect. I'm waiting for their wall charger to come back in stock as the shipping will be free if l order both.
I ordered the black 3.6v version. I'll get it Monday or Tuesday since I have Prime.

So you probably have a cable that's meant for data.
I've had cables that work for data but not for charging. Its frustrating but you just use a different cable once you've figured it out.

I've got some cheap usb cables that I've tried to use for charging my Nexus 7, and it charges like on usb even though it is actually using the AC charger. All usb cables are not the same!
When staying at my Mum's without the G Pad charger, I originally tried charging the tablet with the cable (meant for charging, not just data) and power adaptor (0.8A) that came with a Kindle e-reader - as expected it took ages.
I then bought the Amazon Powerfast usb power adaptor (the one they sell for the Kindle Fire tablet, 1.8A) to keep at my Mum's. It didn't come with a cable, so originally I used the new charger with the Kindle e-reader cable - the G Pad still took twice as long as usual to charge.
Using the new Amazon charger with the cable that came with the G Pad, everything is back to normal.
So it seems like both charger and cable need to be up to the higher power requirements, and all usb charging cables are indeed not created equal - the G Pad one is certainly much thicker, heavier duty looking than the e-reader one. I'm going to pick up Amazon's Powerfast charging cable to go with the new charger now.

Ran into this problem today and glad I did a search. I had thought something was wrong with my G Pad. I have been using my Kindle Reader to charge my G Pad for the past 3 months and never really thought much about it. It was always fully charged overnight. But the kids played with it last night and dropped it down to 4% before it shut itself off. I put it on the Kindle charger as usual and in 24 hours it's only charged up to 84%!!!!
So I finally pulled the G Pad charger out of its wrapper. I'll have to run a test on it and see how long it takes the G Pad charger to fully charge the tablet.
When I plug in my power adapter to charge the tablet more often now I get the Slow Charging notification that says battery is charging slowly due to low electric current of TA/USB connection. Any one else seeing this? I am using the stock charger supplied with the tablet. I have tried this on several AC outlets in several different locations. It does not seen to affect the ability to charge the tablet it just charges it a little slower.

You might also try a different cord!
You may try to install "battery monitor widget", it will tell you charging in USB mode or AC mode.
I also find the stock LG charger slow charging, the widget shows I'm only charging at around 1100mA max. While the charger itself label said Output 1.8A max. I can't reach this level yet.
If I charge with a stock nexus 7 charger (which is 2A rated), it'll get worse...just reach around 800mA max.
I'm still not sure what's wrong with the charger or the tablet itself...
I can say that the cable that came with the gpad does charge faster than a thinner cable I had. Both were tested plugged into the stock LG charger.

When I pulled my g pad out of the box and saw the stock charger was below 2A I put it back in the box. I charge my tablet with the 2A charger that my note 2 uses.
I've seen this problem intermittently with the stock LG charger and today it seems to have become a permanent fault. Swapping to my Note 3 charger things are back to normal once more. Swapping back and forth repeatedly the LG charger triggers the warning and the Note charger is fine. It looks like the LG charger is a bit rubbish. I'll press for a warranty replacement.
I have noticed mine recharges really slowly as well. Using the stock charger, and the battery app previously mentioned, it gives me about 1.1A from the stock charger. Using my Vita charger rated at 1.5A I get about 1.4 into the G Pad. It seems their charger just stinks.
I sent them a support query to see if they will replace it without hassle, if they want me to send it back I'll just buy something else instead.
Edit: Heard back from LG, they want me to send the whole thing back to them or return it to Newegg. Not sure why they won't just ship me a replacement charger, it would be much cheaper for them in the long run.

Further investigation revealed the original cable to be at fault, as it would not make a data connection with either of my laptops. Another cable from my old Galaxy Note worked perfectly. Even so there is still a question mark about the charger as well. Today I spoke to an LG support rep who promised to send a new charger and cable. They should arrive within five working days. I had read of mixed opinions on LG's support, but so far it all seems encouraging.
Hi recently I bought 2 LG G3's (D855)

The Black one is for my girlfriend, I received it with the original seal broken and replaced by another where as my white LG was not.
The black LG is displaying
"Charging slowly with charger/USB. Connect to a standard charger to charge faster"
I compared both of our chargers when they arrived and they both look identical.
I have tried another working charger and it still displays the same message.
The white LG is totally fine with charging.
Not had much chance to tinker around with it as of yet just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and solved it.

If you're literally charging from a USB connected to a computer it actually outputs less power. However, if you're plugged into the wall this can be a problem. Have you tried the same exact outlet? Output can vary from outlet to outlet.

I know that sometimes with my stock charger because it only outputs 1.1amps I get the slow charging message, it's probably just that the LG stock charger doesn't output enough for android to think it's charging properly (Usually around 1.2-1.5a output). You have to remember, even with it plugged in, the phone is still using power so the amount actually going to your battery isn't 1.1amps, in most cases it's somewhere around 400-600 milli-amps, so I'd say that's why you're getting the message. I know if I use my sister's Galaxy S5 wall charger that outputs 2.1 amps, even when in use the battery still gets 1.2 amps sent to it to charge, and I don't get the slow charging message, so I'd say you just need a higher-output charger (I don't know why LG thought 1.1 amps would be sufficient for a device with a QHD screen..)

So you get the slow charge message with the Stock LG charger to? if so what charger do you use to not get this message? I have tried a few different chargers now and all say the same with the Black LG G3 but all work fine with my White LG G3

If you're rooted you can remove that message so you don't see it, but other than that I would contact whomever you purchased it from and tell them about it. Sorry for not having any other solutions.

Looks like LG are supplying the wrong charger's for some of there phone's
I just managed to try my White LG G3 Charger with the Black LG and the message has gone for now
The White Charger is 5V, 1.8A, Don't have the Black one with me at the moment but im guessing its the same as @iDefalt
Still strange how it does this with the black and not the white model both are D855's as my old Samsung charger works fine with my White LG but not with the Black model
Thanks for your guys help :good:

Yeah man, this is definitely weird
I have the same issue too.
I get the error message saying "charging slowly with charger/USB. Connect to a standard charger to charge faster."
I have the black LG-d855 32gb with 02/2015 manufacturing date. My charger outputs 5v 1.8amps (black charger). When I use my Asus 5v 1.3 amp charger (using the same stock lg cable) I get no issues at all and charges the phone fully in less than 2 hours. The stock LG charger wont fully charge my phone overnight (6 hours). I updated to lollipop but still I have the same issue.
Same problem, i have change the usbcable and now all charge good

He and a few days the problem and started connecting the phone with charger original and I will show the message that is loading in usb. then loads very slowly. I tell you that I have two original chargers lg g3. but if I connect it with the charger s5 charge well. Then I did the tests on the TV and radio by connecting usb .but mon makes me the chance to choose the mode of connection. will be four days I noticed these problems.

yup, exactly, the cable or the charger may be not so compatible with the device.

Hi recently I bought 2 LG G3's (D855)
1 Black
1 White
The Black one is for my girlfriend, I received it with the original seal broken and replaced by another where as my white LG was not.
The black LG is displaying
"Charging slowly with charger/USB. Connect to a standard charger to charge faster"
I compared both of our chargers when they arrived and they both look identical.
I have tried another working charger and it still displays the same message.
The white LG is totally fine with charging.
Not had much chance to tinker around with it as of yet just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and solved it.
Thanks in advance.

i also experienced same problem with my LG G3 so now i am using samsung's 2 amp charger to charge my lg g3 :crying:
Make sure the usb cable that plugs into the power brick is completely seated.
I had same error and only just now noticed that the plug was only 90% of the way in.
Unplug the usb cable from the power brick and then plug it back in. Use more force than you believe to be necessary, be a macho man!
THe error will go away if the usb cable is all the way seated into the power brick, make sure to push it ALL THE WAY IN.
Try this once

Well for starters have you interchanged the chargers to see if the problem replicates itself on the other phone? Also do remember to interchange BOTH the sable and the power adapter. An adapter can be a problem , but as I found out with my OPPO, just the cable itself can be a problem too.
How it works is that pure data / sync cables have inherently lower charging current. Fast charge cables on the other hand have the data pins (3,4 I guess) shorted out . such fast charge cables have a higher charging current than the sync cables.
Try this
Strp-1. Interchange the whole charging setup between the phones
ie - Replace the black phone's Adapter+Cable (Both) with the White one's adapter+cable , and vice versa. See if you can replicate the same problem on the other phone. If it does , then go to Step 2
Step-2 This Step will tell you if the problem is with your adapter or the cable( it is very much possible) start with the original setup ie the one before step one.
So now try the interchange step separately for the Adapters and the cables.
Ie first just interchange the adapter and if the problem is replicated on the other phone, then the problem is with the adapter. If not , go back to the original setup and interchange just the cables, if you did not see the problem with the adapter , the problem is obviously with cable and this Step will confirm it. You should see the error now when you have interchanged the cables. Best of luck
