I've had my stock unrooted HOX for about a year and a half now. Recently it sometimes won't charge when it's plugged in, even though the LED lights up and the phone tells me it's supposedly charging.
It has happened when it's been at 0% and will only turn on for a minute before dying again, and it has happened when it's been at 100% and started to drop when I've started using it when it's plugged in.
This can happen from a few weeks without an incident to not charging every night, it varies a lot.
I have replaced the charger with another "official" one.
Strangely if I plug it into the USB port of a computer it will start charging just fine, but doing that isn't practical for me.
My question is basically to ask if anyone else has had the same problem and found a solution that doesn't involve sending it off to T-Mobile/EE. I have already sent it off once to fix the common wifi issue, which they didn't fix anyway.

I have a weird issue going on with my LG G3 rooted device. I bought the phone about 2 weeks ago and rooted it same day, no issues. A couple days ago I was charging it in my car with a phone charger base that you plug into the car lighter. It was plugged in for about 20 seconds when I noticed it wasn't charging and then i started to smell a burning plastic smell. Turns out the charger base got fried.
Phone was working fine but later that day when i tried to charge it at home in the wall, stock charger, it wouldn't charge whatsoever. So i turned the phone off and tried again and it charged no issues. Now every time i charge my phone I either have to charge it when it's off or plug the charger in and reboot the phone and then it charges while on. I also can't get it to connect to my computer. I was just going to backup my files to my computer and hard reset to see if that fixed the issues but I can't seem to connect to the computer no matter what I do.
Any advice would be appreciated. Also do you think this is a hardware issue or some coincidental software issue. Thanks.
So a couple days ago my Edge+ started acting up when trying to charge it. Most of the time I plug it in it doesn't register the power cord being plugged in. Other times I plug it in, it almost thinks that I'm putting the cable in/out every secord. It's weird.
At first I thought it was a bad cable or power brick, but quickly ruled that out. Then I thought maybe it's some kind of software issue so I did a hard reset, updated to the newest arter kernel, installed the newest Superstock rom, but still the same problem. I thought maybe it's the charging port, but I put it on a wireless charger and it cycles on/off every couple seconds or so. It's like I'm putting on the charger and taking it off, but I'm not touching it. I'm just letting it sit there. Last night I plugged it in, it actually detected the charger on first try and charged to 100%. Today, it's acting up again. I dunno what to do? Anyone ran into any similar issue?
A guy from a repair shop said maybe it's a faulty battery? The problem is that they don't have any parts for the phone at all, and I can't seem to find any replacement parts online either. The only thing I haven't tried it to restore it back to stock with stock kernel and rom.
Sorry for the long post, just seeing if anyone can offer any help or insight. Thx!
I seem to be having the same issue as found on this thread, can't find anything here though.

Anyone else have the same issue and found a fix? Guessing this might have to go back to lg.
Thanks!

I started getting this issue yesterday a day after I got a software monthly update for Nov. I normally shut the phone off to charge but sometimes leave it on. When plugged into something it doesnt seem to detect its plugged in. I even swapped cables to a slower charger and same thing. It doesnt see it.
When I fully charged it off, It beeps the battery and does a circle hue randomly by the home button but than detected the connection to pc. I ignored it and started up again but without the beeping, just wont charge when on. There is no dirt or anything in the unit,. I have not moved any-wires, they have been sitting in the same spot on the counter since day 1. I'm gonna try a factor reset if it keeps happening a day or 2 from now.
Same problem here, it was behaving strangely few days ago (charging problem right away but worked in the end so let it go) and now it charges only when off or if plugged within 30 seconds after turning on and only on normal charge speed (not quick charge). Tried to wipe apps and everything, did the facrory reset 2 times but still nothing.
I have similar issues with charging my g7, first give me notification of moisture detected on USB port, then can't charge normally need to plug a few times and sometimes get slow charging, i was thinking have faulty USB port, and have poor battery life.
Then I turn off and put the cable and charges normally and realized that it's software issue.
I flash the ULM10i firmware and now everything work flawless the USB port charges when it's turn on and have very good battery life now.
As an update, I called LG and they basically stated that it sounds like a software issue and to send the phone in. I declined hoping to get another update that would fix it.
I have yet to get one from T-mobile. Long story short, it corrected itself and now charges off or on and no longer does the beeping. Whatever it was, was a bug that temporary for me.
same problem here; no moisture errors, aleatory starts charging when it's on, poor battery life; mainly starts charging with the phone off
problem solved! I've forced LG BRIDGE to reflash the ROM and voilà, all working like a charm. Just download from lge.com, install LG BRIDGE, under "software update" ... "update error recovery" and it will download and reflash the working ROM.
So I got a problem with charging this phone. I noticed it like month or so ago, but it wasn't any dealbraker and it didn't occur nearly as much so I just ignored it. At first when I plugged it in to charge it charged for like hour or so and then it would "disconnect" ie stopped charging while plugged in in AC. Today it started to be much more aggressive then that. I plugged it in to charge and it wokes up screen on and off (charging-not charging) and goes like that for a period of time, untill it stops and continues to charge normally. I thought the kernel (butterfly and dragon.). That I have been using are to blame, but after factory resetting it stil occurs. I tried factory charger and bunch of others from different manufacturers, but still the same.
Any and all help is much appreciated.
hello guys,
i need help figuring what is wrong with my phone. it cannot be charged right now, even when plugged in with charger,
the charger and cable i used dont seems to be the problem as i tested with my other phone too.
i have tried changing charging port and battery, but it still didnt solve it. so here i am asking for your opinions.
last week, my phone stops charging when plugged in and the battery wont go up when charged, i tried using same charger and cable to charge my other phone but those didnt seem to be the problem. after that, my phone eventually ran out of battery and died.
then, i thought my charging port has problem, so i buy new one and change the charging port.
but that didnt not solve my problem, as my phone did not even boot when plugged in and when i tried to charge it after that.
then, i assume it was my battery that has problem. so i bought new battery, fortunately, the new battery came in with 50% of battery juice. but after i try to charged it, the problem still there, the phone still cannot be charged.
this time, i checked with the ampere app for my charging status and found that when plugged in, initially the phone is charging, but after few seconds, the charging stops and it will repeat the charge-stop charge cycle. this is also visible with my charging led light.
however, i dont remember if this charge-stop charge cycle was there initially last week, i only remember it just stops charging, so i didnt know whether this is another problem or the same one initially.
things that i have also tried
1. i also tried changing the charging port to the old one and it didnt do anything, same as im using the new charging port. the problem still there.
2. i also tried using usb file transfer to test whether the charging port are problematic overall or just the charging part is problem. my usb connection has no problem as i can steadily transfer file for few minutes without disconnecting. so i assume my new charging port has no problem then.
3. i also tried flashing stock rom as i thought maybe kernels and stuff from custom rom messing things up. but it also didnt solve it.
4. i also tried turning the phone off and charging it, the phone boots up to charging screen, but the battery keeps dropping instead.
i dont really mind if this phone cant be saved anymore, i already backup important stuff from it, i just wanted to try fixing it for fun now.
also, english is not my first language, sorry if there are parts that is hard to understand.
Maybe some partitions are corrupted(like persist or any other)... search on xda how to flash those partitions. And try flash full MIUI fastboot ROM. Khmm if this doesn't work than I'm out of ideas. You can buy charger for battery only, for playing around until you gonna find a fix. Better than buying new one.
Good luck.
