hello everyone. I'm hoping you can help me. I have an LG g3 for AT&T. I bought the quick circle wireless charging case and the Duracell Powermat charger. It worked fine for 2 days but all of a sudden stopped working. I went into the store with all of the accessories and we tried it on two different powermats. It did not work at all. We tried other wireless phones with charging capabilities on both Powermats and it worked fine. They were out of stock on the case, order me a replacement, it came in today and I went to the store to pick it up. I tested it at the store and it still didn't work. Something is wrong with my phone's wireless charging capability. Has anyone else had this issue with wireless charging on the at&tq G 3? Before I return the phone for another one, meaning because its been longer than 14 days I have to actually have a new one mailed it to me and then have a new screen protector put on, a reset up the phone, etc. I want to make sure its not some setting I'm missing or something else I'm not thinking of. Any help you can provide is most appreciated. Thank you very much.

Ok so, a bump as nobody has replied yet, but second here is an update.
After battling with AT&T for a few days about getting an exchange (they wanted me to send it in to their device center, blah blah) they agreed to give me a brand new one in the store. I went in, swapped the device, tested it with the case, low and behold it worked perfectly. No problems at all. I went and got a new Zagg Glass shield put on at Best Buy, went home, all was fine. LG has a built in back up / restore service that saves to the SD card so honestly it wasn't a totally awful experience getting it all reset up.
Anyway, we are now three days later and last night I put it on the charger, it worked fine. I got up this morning, no charging happening. It is at 90% battery. What the hell? I rebooted, cleared cache, removed backplate and battery, unplugged/replugged in the wireless charging plate - nada. It doesn't charge wirelessly anymore. Charging directly works fine.
I think it's time to call LG because this is getting to be a bit ridiculous. I am using a PMA wireless charging plate purchased from AT&T. I am using an LG branded quick circle wireless folio case. I have not rooted, haven't messed with anything, etc. I am using on a protected power surge power strip. I don't know what else it could be, but something is frying the contacts in the phone and negating the wireless charging ability (.
I've also experienced this. On my second phone now. Thankfully, I was still within my 14 days with Best Buy and was able to exchange the first phone hassle free. Best believe, though, that when I exchanged it, I put the Best Buy Geek Squad protection on the phone. I got lucky this time, was 12 days into owning the phone when the wireless charging went out and thought it was the case. All local AT&T stores were sold out of the case, so I ordered a new one online. Then I read a thread online somewhere that detailed the same exact problem and their solution was to exchange the phone. Had I not exchanged the phone then and waited for my new case to arrive and not solve the problem, I would've been SOL.
But yeah, same experience as you. AT&T LG G3, official PMA wireless charging Quick Circle Folio Case, 2 different Duracell Powermats (1 single device mat and 1 two device mat). Wireless charging went out after 12 days of owning the device.
You might get a better response if you posted in the AT&T forum.
same problem, different day.
My story is almost the exact same as the above. First failure was 5-6 days after receiving my wireless charging case from at&t online. After testing out my equipment, I went to the at&t store and tested my charging case with a new g3. The new one charged fine. Had to call customer svc, after some argument got a refurb. Wireless charging lasted one day.
I'm really worried that this is a pervasive problem. However, very few people have the charging case yet. If anyone has had the charging last more than 2 weeks, can they post it here?
Moderators, can you move this thread to the at&t section for ease of searching? It seems to only occur with the AT&T LG g3 with PMA charging
Maybe Att just likes to screw people over. PMA charging isn't something I want especially when qi is more reliable. Could it be the hardware in the phone failing because Att had to be special?
That's my assumption too. Last minute PMA kludge.
Same thing has happened to mine...
Same here ditto on the whole situation. I am in the process of fighting with AT&T exchange phone.

AT&T uses a different signal type for it's wireless charging. If you don't have the right type of power mat it won't work properly and might work only every now and then. As for your device being the problem, that is unlikely as the case itself is what allows you to charge wireless by adding the charging sensor
i know it might sound silly but...
I know it may be a silly question but are you guys using the charger that came with the phone? Its just that if you aren't it may be because the charger hasn't got enough ampage. I have the lg wireless charger and i tried using an older usb charger and noticed that it would charge a bit then stop. I tried it on the original lg charger and it worked a treat.
I decided to purchase a second lg charger just to use with the wireless charger and all is good.
Same problem x2
I experienced the same problem. While troubleshooting I found the case and charger worked fine on my wife's phone. Tried switching batteries with no change. AT&T replaced my Phone and it worked again for a week. Now wireless doesn't charge and even the USB and cable that had been working in the past don't work.
Very frustrating

Hi all, I'm pretty lost here. My Note II (N7100) suddenly won't charge. Earlier today it charged just fine. I've only ever run stock with root on it. It's not the charger, it's not the cable. I've tried many of both, all of which worked before, none of which work now. I flashed back to stock recovery and did a factory reset, and the problem persists.
When I plug it into a charger while off, briefly a gray battery screen with what looks like a stationary 'wait spinner' will pop up and then the screen will turn back off again. I know the USB port is not totally FUBARed, because I can flash it with heimdall in Linux. It shows up in lsusb when in the bootloader, but not otherwise. The port is pretty much spotless, especially compared with that on my GNex, which still works fine.
I've tried leaving the battery out for an hour, holding the power button, etc. It almost seems like a problem that could be solved by discharging some capacitors, but battery pulls always solved those on my Galaxy Nexus.
Any thoughts on other things I can try?
I can't even figure out how to contact Samsung support in case this is somehow a warranty/hardware issue. At least on their US site the N7100 isn't even an option in the pulldowns they want me to go through.
After some calls to Samsung USA and Canada, I gave up. Apparently the phone is from the UAE, for which Samsung USA has no phone number, and their repair centers won't touch it if it's international. This is really stupid and I plan to write to Samsung about it. It had only been three weeks since I ordered it, so I am returning it to the Amazon seller for a refund. I'll let them deal with their supplier in UAE I guess. I hate to do that, but it seems to be a hardware problem and I have no other recourse at this point.
I cant really help here but i wanted to let you know i had the same problem with a white note 2 from Carphone Warehouse in the UK, just stopped charging after owning the phone for 2 days (i had also only rooted and running stock rom).
Carphone warehouse replaced the handset for me and havent had a problem with the new one so far but its made me take extra care when plugging or unplugging the usb cable ( i use Airdroid for file transfers now). I guess there must be a defect with a limited few usb ports on the note 2.
I thought it might be a 3rd party usb cable to blame (i use a blackberry usb cable at work but ive stopped that now and only use the official Samsung cable).
Sorry i cant help just wanted to share my experiences, hope you get it sorted, good luck!
Thanks for chiming in Steve, good to know I'm not the only one. I saw another post on here like that too, maybe it was yours? There was no discussion. The strange thing is ODIN worked just fine. Maybe a loose connection only on one/both of the power pins?
Nah it wasn't me mate, I had just put it down to me being heavy handed and thought nothing more of it till I saw your post.
I've seen a post in the Jellybam thread today about the charging being down to software but I don't know how true this is as i've yet to check the facts.
Did you manage to get it replaced? I remember it was the worst feeling in the world when the realization hit that my phone wouldn't charge.

Yeah I just invoked the Amazon.com return policy, sent it back for a refund, and ordered another one. It was supposed to arrive today, but apparently UPS had some kind of mechanical issue and now it's delayed until tomorrow. I just need it to get here before my next month's Verizon plan bills so I can cancel before paying another month.
Sorry to drag up an old thread but this has just happened to me, EXACTLY the same as OP.
I've reset it, wiped everything, re-flashed latest stock firmware. Tried 3 different cables and two different chargers.
Pretty sure the battery is good because if I take it out of the phone and charge it on the dock, it works fine. If I then put the battery back into the phone, the phones works in every way except it wont charge
I have most of my digital life on this thing, I am so screwed without it. Look like its a warranty repair job then? Ive had the phone about 3 months from Phones 4U :crying:
Looks like hardware issue..

Happened to mine to T-mobile version. Never dropped it, never got it wet, only 1.5 months old.
WTF? Seriously?
Behavior:
Charges sometimes.
Charge sometimes stops at 70% or less.
Screen sensitivity screws up sometimes.
Data constantly being transmitted whether WiFi or cell network.
Never dropped.
Never wet.
Never harshly impacted.
Never rooted.
Tried factory reset.
Tried pulling battery.
Tried different chargers and cables.
Wondering if the trident aegis case put too much pressure on the charger cable by pushing it sideways with the flap.
Any ideas?
Hardware problem.

Check in the box, and if you have an EROS Group sticker on it that means it's covered under warranty here in Dubai, UAE as they are the main distributor here for Samsung products.
Sent from the rabbit hole.
This happened to me yesterday after spilling tea on it. I took the device apart as per this video, checked the connectors and reassembled it. Voila, the charger is working again. Obviously I take no responsibility etc etc.
My Samsung Galaxy Note 2 wont charge
I have also had this problem where my galaxy note 2 wont charge. I have tried all the chargers i have used successfully in the past and none of them will charge it now. I had the problem some weeks ago and now it has happened again. I only purchased the phone in January 2013. It is very frustrating. I have never dropped my phone or damaged it in any way what so ever. I have no idea what the problem could be but i will be taking it back to Telstra as i need it sorted out.
Same problem here - is this a generic problem with the Note 2??
I always put my phone on charge overnight , woke up yesterday and it hadn't charged. Swapped batteries - no problem - then put original battery back in, hey presto, charging!
But since then both batteries have run out and I couldn't get either to take any charge. Got it plugged in now and just like other people I've got a static charging ring showing, And no power.
Bought an external charger to try and get round this, but has anyone come up with a proper solution??

Strange...
a mate of mine just mentioned to me today that his note was charging strangely recently, apparantly he took an air gun (on low setting) to the charging port to blast out any miniscule dust n stuff and that fixed it!
Seems they're very sensitive and the smallest thing can make it act strange

Can confirm this is the case! Tried everything, but the blowing air into the USB socket worked :good:
My verizon gnex usb charging port was acting wonky for a bit, so I had to angle the cord a certain way for the phone to charge. I saw the thread on here (via lifehacker I think) that said to bend the "tab" thing that can be seen inside the port upwards. That actually helped and the phone was charging fine for a week or so. Then a few days ago it just totally went kaputt and wont charge at all.
I called verizon and they wont help at all since my 1 year manufacturers warranty was up in december. And their customer service is really just a sales team as their first suggestion was to buy a new battery and "try" that, then they suggested I buy one of their used samsung galaxy stellar (Never even heard of it!) for $250.
So does anybody have any suggestions on how I could repair/replace the port myself, or get verizon or samsung to fix it?

You can buy a charging port off eBay. I bought one there for $16 with free shipping. Had to come from China, but I had mine in less than a week. Directions for procedure can be found on ifixit.

Thanks, I just found that ifixit article in the meantime. There are no reassembly instructions though which turned me off. I consider myself pretty capable at following instructions but dont have much experience in electronics. How difficult was it for you?
I was able to get mine working again, so I haven't actually replaced mine yet. I used a needle and cleaned all around the charging port, and also gently scratched pins with needle. Would recommend pulling battery if you should try this. It has been about a month and so far no more problems for me.
I have had the phone apart a few times and it doesn't look too bad though.
My USB port has been bad for at least six months. I tried fixing it and ended up shorting something inside the phone. Even the 3 prongs won't charge my phone. Says it is charging but battery won't charge. My solution. Bought two extra batteries and external charger. Love it. Battery dies and just throw in a new one and instantly at 100 percent. You could find a cell phone repair place and they can change the port. No soldering needed on this phone. Just make sure they order the vzw port and not the GSM. They are not the same.
thank you!

So far this solution has worked for me. I pulled my battery and gently scratched the top of the pins. The phone now charges like it is supposed to. The port must get I build up of gunk in there.
Thanks for your tip
Well..did some research about 7 months ago or so, got two of these phones. One for the GF and one fore me, shortly after the rom output slowed down but there were already a few good options so it worked out well in the end. But I thought I was getting a better phone than I did. Recently my phone has decided it does not like to charge anymore, but intermittently will charge. I had it plugged in all night last night, charged 8% at some point. Most of the time, it wont' detect the charge cable is plugged in..PC shows an error when trying to install drivers. I have tried a new battery, without Sim card, cleared data and all caches and tried a Rootbox which it's had from the day I got it and the newer CM 10.1 r2..no change.
So I am calling this phone junk unless someone has any suggestions. I am kind of SoL financially and really don't have more than $150 to spend, maaaaybe $200 if the phone is going to be substantially more durable. I'll miss the screen, power and camera on the Glide I know..but it is what it is..I'll save it as a parts donor for her phone. I am on Straight Talk which recently went Verizon towers in my area as well and seems that's also the trend for the phones they're selling in my area so it seems maybe I'm more limited to their selection as well? Anyways, need a new phone and have a tight budget..can you please give me some suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Have you tried a different Rom, cable, battery or usb port? In my experience, a new cable and battery did the trick, also tightening up the tension ears on my usb ports.

Sad to have to say but that'll be your charging port failing. Tends to happen seemingly easier with micro usb since it's so much smaller... but I have seen this same issue happen with micro usb ports on a number of devices. You could probably get it repaired for a reasonable cost, actually. Try contacting your service provider, or finding a place that repairs electronics.
I'm at a loss as to what's going on. A few months ago I was changing up my ROMs and went to charge my phone and left the room. When I came back I was smelling that dreaded burning circuit board type of smell. Now none of my stock USB cords work with my stock charger. In fact I have 50 or so USB's and the only one that will still work is an old one from my Samsung device.
Just today I got a quick charge 2.0 and plugged it in and to my surprise it worked! Then about 30 minutes later noticed it was not charging. Hold the phone up to my nose and sure enough I smell a slight burning smell again. Is my device no longer going to be able to charge normally? I can't think of anything else to do. Could it be kernel related? Any help or troubleshooting ideas would be wonderful. Thank you so much guys!
Seems like that is a problem with your phone components not with software.Tell me about your battery life.If you connect your phone to a PC did your phone charge?Did you tried changing your rom with the original one?

Thanks for the reply. PC only would work if the cord being used was one of the 1 or 2 that actually work. I did have a little increased battery drain that seems to be decreasing my battery about 30% or so faster than before. I was going to investigate further, but it wasnt at an alarming rate as of yet. I honestly chalked that up to the ROM. I have Multiboot installed and CM6 is the same...100% hardware issue at this point...just not sure if the root of it started from the kernel or not.
I do have an update though...so it seems the part that burned last night was the final straw and now even the 1 charger that worked won't do anything...seems like I'm dead. Took it into Sprint (I have insurance) and they are going to replace it. Sadly looks like it won't be here until Tuesday. I tweeted Sprint about the issue and they'll be calling me shortly. If my insurance/warranty covers my issue and it's believed to be a defective phone I do not understand why I should be without a phone for 6 days. At the very least give me a loaner...but even that doesn't seem to be the best solution for an issue such as this. Good news is my phone won't take a charge so there's no need for me to try and make sure they can't tell I'm rooted.
Sprint used to be really good about customer service w/ having phones overnighted to your house or in store exchange. Those are distant memories now though.
Ig that helps you.My phone is in the repair store too and a guy from HTC told me that the repair for my phone will last for 40 working days ).So...6 days it's a WONDERFUL period.I am not so lucky as you.
P.S.They just have to change my camera module.
I have a factory unlocked SM-N975U1 Note 10+, using on AT&T's network. It recently had an update pushed to it (early April 2022) that I let install before I went to sleep, then the next day found that wireless charging no longer works. I suspect the update is the culprit - so a software glitch. I have tried everything listed here: https://tinyurl.com/yckk9mmr by The Droid Guy, from rebooting to refreshing the system cache, to no avail. The wireless charger in my truck, on my desk at home, and my husband's wireless charger - all of with which it worked perfectly before the update to charge the phone - all recognize the phone is there but the LED on each begins to flash rapidly, so I am certain it is something with the phone. I am about to try to root the phone so I can install Titanium Backup or try Nandroid then do a factory reset. Short of that option of last resort, do any of you have any idea what else could possibly be the issue here? The only other thing I can think of would be the fact that the back glass is cracked, but has been for a while now, so while I could see correlation, I do not see causation. But I am by no means anywhere close to being an expert, so I may be wrong on that point. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I do not want to incur the expense of a repair from Samsung, and am considering perhaps just getting a Qi receiver - the type you'd add to a phone between the phone and case to add wireless charging to any phone. If nothing else, if you have any recommendations on that point as well they would be most welcome.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
Could be a battery failure. Get the rear cover replaced and the phone inspected for damage.
Replaced battery if it capacity is less than 80% of when new ie SOT.
Updates can break things and make troubleshooting more difficult. This could've been caused by the update or be purely coincidental.

What happens when you charge with the usb c cable? Any warning message?
Is Samsung replacing these phones for this issue? I am so irritated. Just press the back of the phone hard and it will work again??? I remember the Fonz hitting the jukebox on Happy Days, but seriously on a $1,000 phone? Gimme a break.
I just had the same problem. Is this really a thing? I can't believe this is a known issue. I followed pressing just below the camera to the right of the back and now it works.
(see the post I found below).
There seems to be a problem with the wireless assembly’s contact to the
mother board which has a temp sensor attached. Give your phone a gentle
press on the back just under the camera and a little bit to the right.
This is just a temporary fix as the wireless charger will probably lose
contact again. Hope this helps.

My Galaxy Note10+ quit wirelessly charging yesterday. I tried this and it worked! Thanks!
If I recall correctly the coil for wireless charging on the N10+ is connected by a ribbon cable. It may have become detached. Unlike the contact points Samsung used for the GPS antenna like on the S4 they should not fail.
Always use a good case to protect the N10+ from high G loading during drops as they can damaged the mobo or knock connectors loose even if there's no apparent outside damage. These are relatively heavy phones that wuv to corner impact when dropped.
Thank you for responding!
Weird, I have never dropped it. Its brand new and I have a good case on it at all times. Maybe it was just loose to begin with? Will this fix it for good as long as it doesn't get jarred loose?
So you are saying the contact points like the S4 would fail and this ribbon cable should not fail, just can come loose?
What does "wuv to corner impact" mean?

The S4 had point contacts that were held in place by pressure and could corrode over time, completely different from a ribbon connector.
Whatever is loose or broken will likely need to be serviced eventually.
I wouldn't sweat, I never used wireless charging on my N10+'s, don't even know if it works. Cable charging is superior, faster and the C port socket on the N10+ is robust. Good for many thousands of cycles.

Would pressing harder on the recommended spot possibly get it to mount down firmly to where it wont have constant problems? Or will it just get worse?

Have the rear cover pulled and see what you got.
The coil assembly may have failed.
If the battery is near 80% of its original capacity then replace that then too. This phone is too valuable to be mucking with it by pressing on the rear cover... not a good plan.
So guess what? I had recently purchased this unit as NEW, Sealed with 1 year factory warranty with on eBay. Seller had good feedback so I thought I could trust them. I was so perturbed with this charging issue after only have it for two weeks that I got with Samsung Support. I figured I was covered since it was new, sealed and had a 1 year warranty with Samsung. They verified that this phone was activated April of 2020 and the warranty expired April 2021. He also said he can see that the battery life has been used to where it only has about 50% of the potency it had when it was new. Total fraud!!!

Contact your bank and see if you can return it and have the bank do a charge back. Your state attorney general's office may be able to help as well but I would go with the first option and a full cash refund.
I do know a reliable vendor for new ones if you need that contact. I've used them. A1.
Thank you, I sure do appreciate that. Yes, I would love your contact if you would be so kind.
