adaptaive fast charging not working for me, there is a checkable option for it under battery settings, but its greyed out....wtf!! Phone is charging super slow atm.....I hope at&t didnt diable this for some stupid reason....
ok, nevermind. I guess it is working, Its just charging really slow, considering samsung claims its supposed to do 50% in 30 minutes, I think this thing has doe maybe more like 10% in 30 minutes, but idk more experimentaion will tell.

Mine chargers super fast idk
Super fast
you have to use the charger that came with the phone for fast charging.
I believe fast charging stops once the screen is on? (at least the popup seems to indicate that)
I am not sure why your option is greyed out, mine isn't and my phone fast charges just fine *shrugs*
My understanding is that the phone has to be powered off to get the 50% in 30 minutes.
You do have to use the charger that came with the phone.
It will charge faster with screen off, but the phone itself does not have to be powered off.
I went from 15%-75% in about 45 minutes.
That check box is unavailable when connected to the fast charger that came with the phone, mine charges about the same as my note 2 did really. It is fast but not new.
I really feel like samsung pulled a rebok with this phone and introduced a new "pump up shoe" lol when the other one was just fine.
Samsung note 3 - wifi issues, random drops in LTE camera lag
Samsung note 4- great everything above^^ but got rid of the dock audio cant win.
breacherman I know what you're talking about, same here! Sometimes I see the notification that fast charging is active and that was only twice, both times my phone charged super fast. But sometimes I don't get that notification and it's charging slow, I'm trying to figure out why this is happening, if I figure it out I'll let you know. And yes this is with using the charger that came with the phone
There has to be a reason that it only works sometimes..

I think it stays on, it's just not as fast. Mine charged to 50% in probably 35 minutes while I had the screen on the whole time, so it's still pretty damn fast!
Fast charge option is greyed out when it's plugged in. When it's unplugged you can switch the option.

Mine also charged 50% in 45 minutes. That is fast enough for me, but I know it isn't the 30 minutes that Samsung says it will do. I used the charge block that came with the phone, but a different cable. So maybe it was the cable's fault that it didn't charge 50% in 30 minutes. IDK. I do know you must use the charging block that came with the phone to achieve the fast charging because it puts out more voltage/ milliamps than other chargers.
Adaptive fast Charging just stopped working..
The same problem just occurred. AT&T just had an updated and once I updated the AC adaptive charging wont work anymore. Before It was 30 minutes to 50% and now its 2hoursish to 50%.. I think it could be a update issue. But everything was normal until the update. If anyone knows any way to fix it please let me know. The option of the fast charging is greyed out and I cant click it. Before the update it was fine. I will go to at&t later to see about this issue.
Make sure your USB is plugged it firmly on both ends, I've had it charge the normal way a few times when I didn't have it in all the way.

Is it me, or does the SGS2 doesn't like it when it powers off the phone and charges? When I power down the phone and plug in the charger, it boots right back up. When I have it on and charge, I go to shut it down, it shuts down and then it starts right back up. Is this a settings thing, my unit defective, or it's just like that?
it might be new or related to the NFC integrated battery
normally samsung devices will charge just by showing the gigantic battery across your screen flowing current
I remember that from the first SGS that's why I'm asking. Does yours do the same?
mine doesn't do that. i plug it in and then powered it down and charge fine while off. as a matter of fact it charged fast as hell, 5% to full charged in about an hour hour and a half maybe.

wow! that's amazing!
i can't wait for this baby to arrive
i need a new phone badly
I found out why....it was my power block. I wasn't using the original one that came with the phone, since I have one that outputs 2.1 Amps. Now it's charging fine with the phone off with the original charger. Phew didn't want to make the drive back to N.H. to swap it, since I work like 10 min away from NH....save a couple bucks on tax!
I plug my phone into the charger, the battery icon shows a thunderbolt, then after about 30 seconds, the thunderbolt goes away and it won't charge. If I turn the phone off, it charges fine.
Anyone else see this?
No but I have noticed that the phone doesn't really like to charge to 100%... for whatever reason it says fully charged but as soon as I take it off it's 90%.
Nope, but it does seem to charge very very very quickly.
Never had any problems like that. Have you tried using a different USB cable?

I think I may have over reacted. I think the at&t charger I was using is bad. I tried to charge a friends phone and it did the same thing. Charged for about 10 seconds then stopped. I then got another charger and it seems to be charging fine.
So I'm having a problem where I drained my battery and the phone shut itself off with 1% to 2% battery life remaining. I've left it charging for a good 45 minutes now. Turned it on, and it reported 1%. Thinking that it was just a reporting error, I unplugged it, and the phone promptly shut itself off. Now another 30 minutes has passed, unplugged it, turned it on. The phone refuses to turn on! It will however show the battery charging animation, so I know it's not bricked or anything. I guess my only solution is to leave it charging while it's off overnight, even though I need to use my phone right now... That important person will have to wait :crying:
Edit: Works again... Though it does not show my battery life correctly. It says 15% when it's probably more like 2%.

Might want to use a different cable.. i have read that the cable and possibly even the wall adapter can be flakey.. if you have a spare cable try to use it instead of the lg one..
Original LG cable is fine. It's ever since I drained the battery it's started to act weird. I plugged it in at 3% in hopes of "calibrating" the batterystats and it was charging fine. Up till now. I caught a glimpse of my phone turn itself off while charging.
Now it's randomly decided to turn itself on and bootloop... And back to charging animation while off we go. What the hell? The battery isn't charging... Switching cables didn't help btw.
Found a third cable. Temporarily working..

Hmmm maybe the charger? Sounds to me like its not getting proper power hence the shutting down while plugged in.. but what do I know heh
I have the same problem. Plugged the phone in at about 3% and walked away. Came back an hour later to find it stuck in a loop of the LG logo and a black screen. I can sometimes get it into recovery, and from there see that the battery percentage will go from 0% to 15% and back to 0%. It's like the battery is bad.
I think it's a problem with the ROM/firmware where we can't drain it and hope to charge it up again..
I'm still running v1 of the jb release and last night I used my phone until it shut down at 2%, charged it up fine, and its been ok, knock on wood. One weird thing is that if I use the phone while on the charger, and I mean light tapatalk usage, the phone will drop to 99%, even while plugged in. Weird.

That's normal. When the phone is charged at 100% it stop charging to avoid the battery to be overcharged thus reducing it's durability.
Not charging again... My phone maintained a charge between 10% and 25% or so according to the battery usage graph. So I switched cables again. I went into the service menu and got a screenshot of the charging test this time. First pic is with the LG cable. Second is with a Samsung cable. Third picture is back with LG cable after the battery successfully got charged past the "low battery zone" with the Samsung cable.
I have a similar problem with the stock charger. After a few weeks of working perfectly, it just sopped charging my Optimus G.
Bizarrely, it charges my wife's Galaxy S2 HD LTE without issues.
And the charger from my Sony-Ericsson Xperia pro charges the Optimus without issues.
It's almost like the stock charger burns out something internally such that it doesn't output enough voltage/amperage/current.
Sent via the magic of an Optimus G (E971) running CM 10.1.
So it happened again... But this time, it occurred in between 20% to 40% battery life while charging. It's probably the LG cable.. Gonna call support and ask for another.

I have a similar situation -- I powered down my phone one time at 5 %, did not wake up until one hour of charge, then last night tried again with about 40 % of battery left, same problem. I was wondering at first if the phone did not go to power down properly, and that the battery would drain through that, but then I just did another test with my battery at 30 %, and the phone did not want to restart until plugged in for 5 minutes.. It's almost as if the booting process is just this huge battery drain, sucking all the juice to start the phone in a peak of electrical rage.. anyway -- I noticed that yesterday, I was trying to restart the phone after a while, it would start to boot but it seemed it owuld just miss a little bit of juice to complete the process, then finally when it made it to screen it was at about 10 %..
Could it be that fix we used in the stock rom to get the screen at more than 65 %, and the cpu at 1512 mhz ? It seems more software related than hardware in my case, meaning I don't beleive it is the cable
Hate to revive an old thread, but as the new owner of an LGOG i just ran across this problem the other day. My phone has been able to go two day on a charge, and last week I forgot to charge it on night. Found it dead the next day. was leaving so I took it intending to charge at work or in the car. Car charger had no effect, but upper portion of phone got hot. plugged it in at home, same thing, charging icon, getting hot, but not charging. Also noted dim screen glow all the time.
tried 2o second hold on power button, vol up and down, got into the download screen and the bootloader screen, but no charge. Finally held the power button and vol. up and red charging light came on. Held it for a minute and the red charging light stayed on, let go out it went. Decided to try a couple of rubber bands around the phone to hold in the buttons, and it worked ---phone charged fully and operates as usual.
Thought I'd pass my experiance on to help anyone else with similar problem. Any idea why this worked?
I don't know, but I do know that getting to android 4.3 roms like the ones in Houstonn's thread have cured my O. G. from that, and from also constant and random camera reboot, and from also maps freaking out when plugged in in the car..

For anybody that runs into this problem
I had this problem and tried for hours and hours to fix it. When you stick the usb charger into your phone, it literally takes like 5 hours to charge 2% when it's in this state
So it never gets to a point of wanting to turn on because the phone gets too hot trying to charge
My solution: Put a bunch of ice in a bowl, then put something over that like a bag, aluminum foil, basically anything that would be a barrier between the ice and your phone to keep it from getting wet
Now let it charge with the phone sitting on top of that ice for a few hours(make sure to add new ice as it melts) and your phone will charge up enough that it can be fully turned on. Then just let it keep charging
This worked for me after trying other things for hours. If this didn't work i was gonna open the phone and pull the battery
After the last update I have not had this issue. I've run my phone dead a few times and now it always charges - no issue.

Last fall. I had to go to the stock rom, do the update, reroot, then all was fine.
My phone has consistently charged super fast, and every time its said "adaptive fast charging". But as of two days ago my phone takes forever to charge, and I'm surely using the same charger. I checked, and the fast charge setting is checked. Anyone have this problem too with a way to fix it?

Looks like this.
Do you have the fast charging option still checked in options under battery? Phone needs to be unplugged to make a selection.
Edit:Sorry I just reread your post.
Are you sure it's the same base piece on the charger. It says fast charging on it? Maybe turn off fast charging, restart the phone, and turn it back on.

Will it connect to a computer? Does it charge painfully slow? it could be a motherboard malfunction that zapped your usb port. You can do a warranty exchange.
Did you upgrade to lollipop?
People who have are seeing an issue with quick charge not working, including me.
The fast charge button becomes greyed out when I plug in the phone.
Before lollipop I would get a message that the phone was quick charging when i plugged it in.
Now I don't and it takes much longer to charge.
Same here ..Fast Charging Not working

I have fast charge working now but it's intermittent.
No, I'm not on Lollipop. The issue fixed itself. I can only guess it had something to do with a charger/external battery I used right before the issue arose. (Zero lemon solar powered battery). It charged my phone stupid slow and then all my chargers were like that for a couple of days. And yes, the fast charging checkmark was checked.
My M8 has no feedback whatsoever, even plugged into the HTC brand charger, nothing happens. However, I plugged it into a 2.1A charger and got the little battery charging logo to appear, still no boot. Is the battery dead? This started happening after switching from CWM to TWRP, should I try to get the phone to turn on and switch it back to CWM?
Leave the phone on charger for several hours, then try holding power+vol up for 30 seconds or so. See if there is any change.
I'll definitely try it. It's not easy to charge this though, as the charging port is pretty broken as well. I put it in this angle and it charges (usually)

This a pretty relevant detail. Probably more the issue than changing to TWRP. And to answer that question, no I would not switch back to CWM, since its obsolete on this device and no longer really supported.

Okay so I've been charging it since my last post. I just turned it on and it claims to have 1%. But hey! It's on!
Thank you!! I changed out the cable I was using to charge the phone (I was using the stock HTC cable, grabbed some random Asus cable) and plugged the 2.1A charger directly into the wall (previously using an extension cable) and after doing what you said, just letting it charge for several hours and then turning it on, I got a 24% charge!!! I guess this means I can just never let the phone die if I don't feel like having this issue again. Thanks!! Now I have two high end android phones again!

Good work! It should have been said before to always try different chargers and cords if suffering charging issues. I saw you had tried a different charger, but missed the fact that you used the same cable. Charger/cable are not always the issue, but at least you can easily eliminate those as the cause by some experimentation.
If you again discharge the phone to shutdown, and doesn't power on after charging; you can usually: charge for several hours, then hold power + vol up until it boots.
But that being said, discharging the phone to shutdown should usually be avoided. Most all of us have done it at some time or other. But one should not make it a habit. There are safeguards that are supposed to prevent battery voltage from dropping too low (by shutting down the phone once voltage reaches a certain threshold) but those safeguards are not ironclad. And once the voltage drops too low, you can be stuck in a tough spot. Plus, fully battery discharge/charge cycles are not best for long term battery life of Li ion batteries. So again, discharging the battery to shutdown should be avoided as much as possible.
I seem to have this exact issue now too. Even with the way the charging port has to be for it to charge. Unfortunately it seems the port is messed up somehow now or maybe the battery connections are bad.
Though I'm technically able to pull it apart i haven't done it yet. Maybe it knows it's now getting old lol
Looks like it's time to upgrade to a new phone for me. :/

Try putting it while pulling down and to the right of the cable. I held mine like that for an hour or two to make it turn on. Once I did so I opened ampere only to discover that even when it says it's charging, it's actually not. I have to angle it or the left to make it get power, even though just angling it upward makes it say it's charging.

Yeah I've had it say charging on and off for the last day and a half. But it seems that when I hit the "sweet spot" it just doesn't stay charging and then quickly discharges any bit of charge.
