Optimus G breaking chargers

Hey guys. So my Optimus G has gone through three different chargers now. The LG one that comes with the phone, a Samsung one, and a rocketfish one. The LG one being the first I used. I know it's not the outlet cause I charge my nexus 7 on the same one.
The LG and rocketfish chargers broke when I tried to charge my phone from being completely drained. The Samsung one just kinda stopped working. All three of them maintain a flat line charge if Im not using my phone. But once I start using my phone, it continues to drain even though it's plugged in.
You can see what I mean at the end of the graph. Its was plugged in for 45 mins.
Have any of you had this problem or have seen it? And any idea what's going on?

[Qi Charger Mod] Wireless Qi bookstash charger

I was bored, so i 'modded' a Book stash into a Wireless Qi charger....
Just place the N5 on the cover and it starts charging, i keep it on my nightstand for now.
I plan on buying another stash, or making a stash myself using a cooler looking real book...
Charging seems to function normally through the 5mm thick wood cover
What do you guys think?

That's pretty cool. How much did it cost you in total?

That's pretty awesome. I'm going to attempt a similar project with my nightstand like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZo2pA0Qc9U&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I paid 30 EURO for the charger i got the parts from,but you can get the pcb and coil on alibaba for much less. The book i sourced in a local store for 5E, but you can make it yourself for even less...

SG3 charges on AC wall charger but not on car charger

My SG3 charges on my AC wall charger but not on my car charger. I took the phone to a Sprint store and they said that it was due to corrosion. I am trying to hold out for the new One or SG5. Is there something I can do to try to correct it? I don't want to get a replacement with the new phones being released so soon.

Did you tried using the car charger with another device?

Yes, my wife's Note 2 works fine on the car charger. The store was also able to duplicate the problem. Their advice was to either get a replacement phone for $150 or get an upgrade.

Get a couple extra batteries and an external battery charger... Never have to charge your phone and they are ready to throw in your pocket so you always have an extra battery. It'll cost you about $20 but that's better than wasting your upgrade on something you don't want. And cheaper than a replacement.

That is a good idea. Should tide me over until a new phone. Thanks for your input guys!

Are you using original 1.8 amp charger that came with phone? Any other lower amp charger will give this error.

OEM Wall Charger included with Galaxy S9?

I bought an open box S9 that doesn't come with the wall charger. Could someone send a pic of the wall charger specs printed on the adapter? I'd like to know the exact model number and country it was made in. Thanks!

Probably should have mentioned that in your main post

Any QC2 charger does exactly the same as the Samsung OEM one. I use an old LG charger (from a G6) and it charges identically to the Samsung one.

Weirdly my Samsung charger will not charge my gf's Nokia 6, any other charger works with it fine
