hey guys, I just got this LG Optimus G pro off of Craigslist, and while I'm sure that the phonewas worth the deal, I just got a few questions.
1.the battery life. I've been using it constantly, and I've managed to get it up to about 75 percent battery. When I check my battery usage,it says that I have about 4 to 5 hours of used before it dies. Is this normal? I'll read the reviews and it said that this thing had an awesome battery. I went ahead and ordered some brand of battery (lemon-something) that came with 2 standard amp batteries and a wall socket battery charger. so do I need these batteries because mine is drained or is that normal?
2. the wall charger. I do not currently have the original manufacturer charger, but I am using a LG branded wall block, with a SamsungUSB. It seems to charge it okay, but when I'll plug it in I've got to tilt it up just a bit, and then it will start charging, even after I let it go. I had some generic Motorola Droid charger plugged up to it, I didn't have to wiggle it around at all, but I had to quit using it because it didn't have enough output voltage to charge the phone. Is this an issue with my charging port, or just not having the original manufacturer charger and charging cable?
thank you so much for any replies and taking time out of your day to help me.

The battery life is awesome on here. Yes, it's probably because of your USB cable. I haven't used anything but the charger my phones have come with for well over a year and all worked perfectly. When it says 4-5 hours of use, that means actually using the phone. Not standby. Not sure how well the 3.1amp ZL batteries perform, but I have the 9300mAh one and I'm loving it. Days on a single charge and comes with a TPU case.

1) Battery life IS awesome. Turn on Quad Core Control in Battery settings to make the most out of your phone.
2) I also bought mine 2nd hand without the original charger. You only have to replace your USB cable coz it's probably worn out. I've used all sorts of chargers (generic car charger, samsung, nokia) and never had a problem with any of them.
I second the idea that at usb cable is bad.Im using a generic ul last for sb cord right now and it charges just fine and the charge will last for a full day or more depending on use
I searched for a solution and bought these two items..
Anker® 40W 5V / 8A 5-Port
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GTGETFG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Mediabridge USB 2.0 - Micro-USB to USB Coiled Charging Cable
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009W34X5O/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Now here's the kicker... It's currently unavailable...but two days ago when I wanted to make this thread is was not even listed on Amazon, so possible restocking ? I don't know.
I killed my battery to the point of total shut down by about midnight Saturday night. When I got up about 930 am I was fully charged. Now I know we've seen longer run times leaving the charger on after 100% pops up, so to speak to that I am on 94hrs run time and have forgotten how to check Screen On Time...
I am now at that dreadfully annoying -10% level. So I can use the phone all day on 100% brightness but it will chime in all day to warn me of the coming Powerpocalypse to come :laugh:

If you rooted your device you can put an xposed module on that will eliminate all low battery warnings.
On your setup, I don't really see the difference between it and using the OGP's standard high-power charger. The cable isn't going to do anything, as far as I can see. And the charging port is 8A/5 ports — from what I've read it adapts to the device to allow it to pull what it needs within that allotment, thus I don't see the OGP pulling more than 1.8A. So, my question to you is, you've tested the standard 1.8A charger against your setup and you get X hours reduction on charge time?
FYI, I don't have the ZeroLemon pack. Thinking about it but might upgrade my device to the GP2.
I have, it took a day and a half.

36 hours to charge?
Most using this pack state around 12 hours. Seems something is wrong if it's taking 36 hours to charge with the standard charger that comes with the OGP — normal battery charges in less than 3 hours. I've seen where some zerolemon packs hit 100% but are actually only half charged, thus causing increased charge times. . . . strange stuff.
Using Yoobao 2 Amps wall charger
My zerolemon (9000 mAh) only took 10 hrs to charge. And standard battery (3140 mAh) took 2 hrs using Yoobao 2 Amps wall charger.
I was hoping someone could tell me where to find 4A or 5A wall charger near Jakarta.
My zrrolemon zero lemon takes about 12 hours to charge AMD my standard battery takes about 2-3 hours using the stock charger

Im coming from a G2 and both have the same battery capacity and the g3 takes way longer to charge.
I have data and everything turned off. Its been about an hour and its only charged about 38%.
I was using the original wall port to charge but that took way longer, now im currently using a 2amp samsung wallport.
Anybody having issues with charging?
Two hours to fully charge a 3000mAh battery doesn't feel that crazy to me, I dunno.

2 hours 80%
With my experience, using the stock G3 charger works the best it seems.
When I first got my two white G3's last week, I set both of them up to charge next to each other. One was on the stock charger and another was on a normal HTC 1amp block (from my HTC One M7), obviously the stock charger was just a tad over 2x faster.
I then changed out the 1amp block and used my Note 3 2amp block and the Note 3 charger was about 33% slower to charger than the stock charger, quite surprisingly.
Bear in mind, the stock charger says it is rated at 1.8amps.
They were both setup and tracked with % increase in charger over a 2hr period, over two separate days, both with same services, brightness and other comparable settings to track as even as possible use and drain/charge.
Also of note, I saw that the battery for the G3 is a Lithium Poly and not the normal Lithium Ion batteries, was were in my Note 3, that might make a difference, but I am not entirely sure (haven't had a chance to research LioP batteries over LioIon).

That actually isnt so bad.
Hello all:
I got myself an LG G3 and I have a Zerolemon 9K battery and when I put my phone to charge and I use it for things like Facebook or Kik, I notice the battery lowers instead of charging more, right now I had 77% and in 2 minutes it is now 74%. I am using the factory charger and cable plus it also happened a few times with the stock battery any ideas? Bug? Still charging even if it says otherwise?
EDIT: Did a reboot...58% now from 70%
Hello,
I was wondering who is charging during the night and who is going also below 15% battery ?

I was having this problem when not using the included charger.
It seems that the phone actually requires to be quick charged (8V 2A) up to 65% or so and will then switch to the usual 5V 2A mode when it's reached this point.
As a result when I was using a regular charger (Nexus 7 charger, 5V 2A) the phone would "charge" but would actually slowly lose battery power during the night.
Gotta watch out for specific usb cables or charger adapters that don't provide enough power (as mentioned above).
I have 2 Nexus 7 FHD (2013) tablets and my Zenfone2 has exactly the same charger, 5.2V 1.35A
A standard cellphone charger is 5V and about 700-800mA.

I turned on Airplane mode and power saver while using a regular 5V Charger, and it was able to charge over night.....just not fully.
I thought I was the only one with this issue. Everything works fine with the included charger but when using my charger from my Nexus 4, it would charge a bit then at times start losing battery. I've used a friend's Nexus 5 charger and it has been hit and miss...sometimes it charges all the way sometimes it charges a bit and then starts losing battery.
Im also using ipad 2 charger..works well as a normal charger for zenfone 2. Especially if your gaming and charging same time..mine does not over heat..but dont recommend to do it always
In fact my question was more about who is charging all night their phones and also who is using his phone when the battery is lower than 15%.
Happy to see some others bugs on the ZenFone 2
