Hey guys!
My phone died on me yesterday since I forgot to charge it the day before, it was dead in my pocket for 3 hours until I got home.
Without bothering to do anything, I simply plugged my dead phone into the charger and went to bed. I woke up today, unplugged it from the charger and the phone stayed with the charging symbol stuck, I pressed the power button and nothing so I had to make a battery pull to get it to turn on.
Any issue to what could have caused this? also any interesting battery saving tips? sprints crappy 3g network in my area is draining the battery quickly so I turned off mobile data.
EDIT: Snap, I think this belongs in the Q&A section sorry mods
forcing 2g mode should help.
you can also get a spare battery
letting a lithium battery drain to 0 reduces its life.
Not sure what could have happened to make your phone get stuck at boot when charging.
As far as battery saving tips, there are tons all over these forums, but it really depends on what you are willing to give up as far as features in order to save battery. You can always turn down screen brightness, turn off WiFi/Bluetooth/3G, uninstall battery-hogging apps, turn off sync and background data etc.. Its all about finding a good balance though.

That's a sign of either:
dirty usb port, clean it.
Faulty or going faulty usb port.
Sometimes Rom, kernel issue.

Can I use compressed air to blow the possible dust out?
I'm running ru jellying m1 with no special kernel.

Anyone else's indicator light on the original charging dock staying on all night? I thought from the user manual, it said that when the watch is fully charged, the indicator light on the charging dock would turn off. Mine stays on even after the watch has been at 100% for hours.

The update changed it so the screen always stays on while on the charger.

I'm not talking about the watch screen staying on. I was wondering if the light on the charger is supposed to turns off when the watch gets to 100%.

Thanks. Have you noticed if the indicator light turns off right when the watch hits 100% or does it still need "topping off" and turns off after a little bit?

You're welcome. It doesn't seem to do it immediately, which initially made me wonder, but when I wake up in the morning the charging light is off.

Thanks for your help. I wonder what is causing mine to stay on for so long. I left it on the charger at 100% and fell asleep around midnight. When I woke up at 3am, the light was still on.

Has it already did the update? I'd just use it all day and check it one more time after charging.

Yup, it is on 4.4W.1
Will keep an eye on it tonight/tomorrow morning. I just want to make sure everything is working fine before the return window closes. I think the wording in the user manual is old and the light would go off at 100% since the screen turns off. Now that the screen is always on, I am guessing that it is constantly trickle charging even when it hits 100%.
Thanks.

Nope. I chatted with moto CSR. They don't know why too but said it shouldn't be an issue.

Cradle not charging, but charging status face displayed
Within the last couple of days I've been waking up with a dead 360. When I put the watch in the cradle, it appears to be charging (watch face shows charging circle and percentage); however, I just noticed that the indicator light does not turn on.
End result is a dead battery. Resolution has been to use a different QI charger to charge the watch. The automatic conclusion is that the charger isn't charging, but why does the watch go into "charging status"? Thoughts/help? Anyone else experiencing this? This all started after most recent update.
Try doing this:
Put the watch on the charger.
Open the Android Wear App on your phone and go into settings
CHECK "Screen Always On"
Wait for the 360's screen to dim a little bit
UNCHECK "Screen Always On"
The watch display will turn completely off.
This will charge your battery in less than 2 hours.

That light is for the watch being docked.. I would suggest putting some electrical tape (non-permanent way) or black nail polish (permanent) over it.

So I need to know is my watch and charging is good or not.
hey guys, I noticed a problem about the recharging time after updated LG optimus g to kitkat. now it takes really long hours to charge the phone completely, for example it needs at least 7-8 hours or even more. how can I solve this problem?
I have this problem. Anyone knows something about this?
You should try too calibrate your battery
I'd recommend to use NEMA BATTERY CALIBRATION

I also have a problem with my LG Optimus G. I have Android KitKat, software 20C, rooted phone. Yesterday my phone battery dropped to 0%. I was sick and I didn't have time to charge it. Today I plug my charger but nothing happens. LED isn't working (no red colour), there is nothing on my smartphone display. What's the problem with this smartphone, I hope he isn't bricked.

I had the same problem, turns out it was just my charger. After I bought a new one the charging time droped from 7h to 2h.
I have the same problem. I can confirm that the problem is the charger or the charging port or the usb cable socket.

im also starting to notice my phone is charging so slow, the battery icon indicates that it's filling up but sometimes the percentage wont go up, it will be stuck at 50% for couple of hours, and i have read some topics saying that This phone has really some problem burning up the charging ports, one even said that he already burned 4 chargers out of this phone is this true?

No, it's not. Just change the USB cable. If didn't help change the battery. I myself did it vice versa!

i think it's my charger, because i tried my friend's charger from his Zenfone 5 and it charged my phone for just about 2hrs or so.
mine would charge for atleast 3 to 5% and after that it will not charge anymore, i wonder what happened? I am on full stock right now fully unrooted using LG flash tool. it's really a shame that my charger gave up so soon as i have only bought this phone(Brand New) not 2 months ago.

I had exactly the same problem. I forced them to change my main board under guarantee. It didn't help. I bought a new battery. Helped but charging time was 3 hours. I saw I couldn't transfer files via USB tried changing cable and I can charge 0 to 100 in 2:10 hours. 20 mins faster than the day I bought my phone. The stock charger is OK but the cable is a crap. Do what I did from bottom to top!
Hey, so this happened a while ago but I hadn't been able to look into it until now, I have an Optimus G E977 Bootloader unlocked running Carbon Rom-gee with Justins Matr1x kernel, everything seemed to be fine. I left it charging overnight like usual and it was working fine, however the next morning it was turned off and it just wouldn't turn on, when connected to the charger or a PC only the led light will turn on, with a red color and it will stay there on, it won't blink or anything, letting it charge does nothing. So I was wondering if you guys could share your experience with me, could it be a battery issue like the Nexus 4s red light of death or is my motherboard death?
If you want more details feel free to ask me anything.

This has happened too Me too.. This happens due to unlocked bootloader because the phone turns on automatically when its charged if its off ; so if you've drained your battery completely (ie ;It wasn't charging overnight in your case) the phone Will never charge ..
You can charge it by using a more powerful charger like a 2A charger .. The galaxy note 2 has a 2A stock charger .. Use it to charge the phone and you are all done..
Next time don't let the battery below 5 %

No dice :/ tried using a Note 3 charger, but nothinf happens, the permanently on red led is there the moment I connect the phone and that's how it stays, also it kind of got heated up. I don't think the bootloader is the problem since it has already reached 0% before and it has never been an issue. I never did update with the 4.4.2 KDZ so maybe thats why I don't have a 0% problem.

I think the Note 3 has a usb 3.0 charger which might be unsupported.. Try to use a note 2 charger instead ..

My device has recently stopped quick charging. Instead it's charging but an absolutely slow rate. I've read that the device temperature can cause this but even after having it warm by playing videos it doesn't rapid charge...
It's stating that it's charging rapidly but the estimated full charge is about 5 minutes for every minute it's actually stating.
I've factory reset the device to no avail, changed cables and charging plugs.
Honestly, this is putting me off buying another pixel device - my Pixel 1 XL suffered with screen burn. I'm just tired of the device breaking after having it since July 2018.
Does anyone have any advice before I start the ball rolling with the warranty?

Clean the USB port on the phone

I agree cleaning the USB port might help.
I had a charge rand Phone overheating issue and it was that some water was in the port.
Even dust has metal particulates, so cleaning it and making sure no dust or water is in, is a great idea.
Cleaning the port worked for me few weeks ago,i had to try a few times with a toothpick
So I've cleaned the charging port. The device when screen is off is coming back charging at 850mah when I plug it in with the screen on it charges at 1000mah.
Can someone send me over what there's charges at after having the phone screen off after half an hour?
I think there's something wrong with the battery, just doesn't feel like it's charging like it used to.
This is what the ampere is showing when I've plugged in the device.
To put this in perspective.
Here's my old Nexus 6P.
Can someone show me what their Ampere shows when the device has just been plugged in and then what it's like when it's been on charge for a while?
That way I can have an understanding as to what a Pixel 2 XL should be charging at.

Weirdly the device seems to be charging okay today. I'm gonna see how it goes, probably warranty if it happens again.
First, that app isn't the most accurate way to measure charging.
Second, fast charging is at it's fastest when the battery capacity is low. So below 20% you'll get the highest number. Your screenshots are 73% and higher.
So typically for me, I gain 70-75% in 60 minutes when I start at 5-10% and don't interrupt it with use. It's been like that since I've gotten the phone October 2017.

Some screenshots showing this morning's charge. By the way, going from 80% to 90% is slow, and 90% to 100% is very slow. That's why when I'm topping off, I just unplug at 1 hour or around 80% because it's a waste of time to wait any longer.

Okay, so I've just let my phone charge whilst off as it was drained completely. It was the full length of a breaking bad episode (rewatching).
Pick up the phone its very cold to touch, I then turn the phone on, it's at 20%.
A device for 40 minutes doesn't go from 0-20% when it's using a fast charger... I should be on at least 50% maybe even 75%

Very strange. Stock charger right? Don't think it would matter but I've never charged with the phone off. I would try to replicate what I showed you in screenshots. 15% plug it in, phone on but screen off, set a timer for 1 hour, return and see where you're at.

I'm experiencing exactly the same problem l.
My pixel 2 XL stopped charging at all of the sudden and only accepts slow charging and with a "Chinese" cable. The original cable doesn't work. No the cable ain't broken or the charger. My girlfriend has a pixel 3 and she uses my charger and cable and works on hers. We used also her charger and cable ( from pixel 3s ) and on her pixel 3 everything works comes to mine it doesn't even recognize to start charging.

Last night I drained again, charged with another stock charger I have, completely different house - was at my partners house. Again 35 minutes, switched off, 13%.
I'm going to have to call my insurance company, I get insurance with my bank - I'll have to pay an excess but they should be able to sort it I think.

This what you're experiencing sounds different to my issue.
My device fast chargers when it's plugged in. I have read that the Pixel 2 XL charges at a massively slower rate if the battery is at 20 degrees or below - this is unacceptable as the phone switched on, the battery till be always below that.
What's frustrating is the tips and support options in settings doesn't even open anymore, whether they've killed that feature off or not...
