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.
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.

Thanks for the reply. I am starting to think my power adapter is not putting out the correct current it should be. I will try using a different 2A charger and see how it goes.

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.
Sent from my LG-V500 using XDA Premium HD app
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.
I have seen a lot of people having charging issues. Even i had a lot. Issues listed below
1. Discharging issue if i use the phone while charging
2. Slow charging (taking over 4-5 hours ti charge my phone)
I took my phone to service centre with a possible issue with my phone. Note i was using original 1.2mA OEM charger.
I enquired if LG G2 is also having 1.2mA OUTPUT charger but it carried 1.8mA charger.
I got my replaced for testing on my own and voila its charging completely within an hour! Trust me! Even while using my phone during charging (mild browsing) doesn't show discharging but yes a bit slow charging.
Even though i am not sure if 1.8mA charger might affect battery in any way (service centre guy told me its fine to charge my LG G PRO with 1.8 one), i request people to throw some light on possible issues i might face.
Otherwise, all you people can use lg g2 oem charger to have a wonderful charge time

There will be no problems if you use a higher capacity charger with GPro as long as the charger is of good quality. I have been using an iPad 1st gen charger with mine since day one and haven't had an issue yet.
One more thing, I've noticed GPro can be a bit picky about the USB cable used for charging so use the original cable if you received one with your phone or a quality alternative.

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.

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 am talking about plugged into the wall not charging via USB from computer, it displays the message as if it is connected to a computer and not the wall which is confusing and yes I've tried. I did a search on Google about this problem, it seemed a few people experienced this with LG G3's but could not find an answer. Its quite a bit problem as a full charge takes about 12 hours.

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.

My white one is rooted but I wasn't intending on rooting my girlfriends LG in case she bricks it lol..
I was maybe thinking its a software problem, I will try and update it or maybe flash it, see if the problem still occurs. Either way I'll update this post if I fix it so it can help others.

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..)

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.

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.

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
