Stock charger not charging AT ALL overnight - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My stock charger with stock cable isn't charging the phone AT ALL overnight and it frustrates me. The battery level slowly declined and the LED is red. I went to sleep at 55% but woke up and saw it was 33%. It also shows up as USB instead of AC. The phone does charge properly when I connect it to my PC.

I literally just bought this phone two days ago and the charger is already broken??

It happens. Electronics can fail right away or in weeks/months/years.

Put it in the fridge, it's too hot. Our phones dont charge when hot

Wouldn't that void the warranty as the moisture indicators will activate.

If you have that much moisture in your fridge then you have bigger problems

Probably your cable. Try another one

Charger killed my phone

Well went to the store last night and went to plug phone into my usb car charger try to turn the screen on and nothing and by the way phone was at like 20% when i plugged it in so what happened was one of the 4 prongs in the charger was bent up so that is what messed it up i am so hoping its just the battery that it killed so that is where i am going to start. Any thoughts?

You probably have a dead battery...Someone who has seen this problem before could confirm.
The way you write is pretty hard to read, so you might wait a while until someone does confirm this .
1. Never charge the phone for the whole night.
2. I had the same problem. I changed my charger and now, it is perfectly charging. Try it.

thanx for suggestion, how much do i hav to pay for a new charger??
But you said you left it to charge via USB cable on your PC and it didn't charge properly. If you used the same USB cable with the charger, then the cable might be to blame. You should try a friends cable before buying a new charger.
If the charger does not work with the same USB cable you used to connect to the PC, your battery is most probably dead.

Charging all night isn't an issue.
The battery will charge to 100% then drop to 95% and back up, will cause no damage.
Also smaller and often charges are better for the battery as it slows the formation of crystals so the battery holds its capacity longer.

If you have used 2 different cables to charge and none worked properly, that is probably too big of a coincidence. Your phone has something broken; it's either the battery or the charging circuit in the phone. You should take it to a specialized phone service to see what's wrong. They will also try charging it before disassembling, and if there's nothing wrong with the phone, they probably won't even charge you anything.
If indeed they have to disassemble it, you should ask them if there will be any visible differences once they assemble is back. I had a cracked digitizer on my old One X and took it to service and replaced the display+digitizer(they come together) and, although the screen was new, it did not fit as snugly as before, so you could see light leaking out the side margins of the display.
They probably had many of these phones under repair and should know if this will be the case with your phone.

[Q] Phone seems to be unable to charge battery

So, my dad and I had an Epic 4G Touch. I was wanting to use the Epic 4G Touch for a project (using the WiiScales android app). I was hoping to use my dad's phone, because my phone won't be able here till the end of the month.
However, the problem with this phone, is that for whatever reason, I can't get the phone to charge. Maybe it actually is charging, but the battery is just so depleted that I can't tell if it is or not.
Is there any better way to determine if it is? I am not sure if I bring it in to the Sprint store they will replace the battery (since we have both upgraded our phones). Or if they will even bother to check it since it is outside the warranty period.
Any suggestions?

It isn't that, I am aware of that issue.
It seems to be the charger cable or the charging port. I can use my S4 charger and it will work fine for the most part, there is still some issues with it charging, but no where near as many issues as before. But if I use the original charger, it just flat out doesn't work.
I am sorta confused as to why Sprint didn't initially try to resolve this when my dad took it into the store, as we have TEP on all our phones, so if the charging port was the problem, it should have been fixed or replaced.

It depends on what they told your dad. Your best bet to get around this issue it to purchase a couple of stock batteries from Ebay. Most will give you a wall charger also. I have 3 E4GT and 5 batteries. Very rarely do I charge via the wall or PC (USB). When the phone is down to about 10%, I change batteries. It takes about 3 hours to charge a battery with the wall charger.

Well, I had it on the charger last night, and it was charging. I saw the red LED charging light on it, so I turned the phone off and set it down gently so that the cable and the charger port wouldn't get messed up. I saw the charging led was still going so I just left it that way overnight. When I woke up, the phone had died from being turned off and went from a 35% charge to a 0% charge. So I am not sure what happened there, or what caused the phone to die.

Replace the battery with a charged one. If you lose juice, then the problem is the phone. If not then the problem is with the battery. My guess is that the battery is not holding a charge. If it was charging when you set it down, then it should have been charged when you woke up. Especially if you didn't move the phone during that time frame.
Sounds like you will need to replace the battery.

Despite replacing USB power board & Sim/Microsd holder still cannot get charge

Hi guys
Just cannot seem to get the thing to charge.
Tried different charger/usb cable. Got completely new USB power board. Sometimes the battery icon comes up on the screen when i turn it on of just a battery with a bit of low red at the bottom of it. It won't turn on. Theres not even a charging beacon light on top of the phone to indicate charge.
What does this usually show? Bricked phone, bad motherboard or bad battery?
Cheers.

Is the error that comes to screen
"USB not supported"?
not getting any error mate. It is totally dead.
I did buy a new battery which had 4% life left. Not enough to copy 64GB data to an SD card.
It seems it must be the main board which is damaged. I have replaced the power board and the middle ribbon cable. This has to be a mobo issue unless u can think of anything else?

I still don't think that's mobo issue. Try this before you intend to replace your mobo.
Plug in charging using any charger other than wall charger. Use a power bank or anything and when the battery icon shows up that you described in first post(the red icon) leave it there as it is and let it charge over night. Try powering up in the morning.

I dont get any icon on the screen when I plug a charger in. Even the powerbank... When i plug that in I get no beacon light on the top of the phone to indicate charge and also no icon on the phone screen. The phone never gets hot when it charges and the charging device never gets hot. Stone cold both of them.
What do you reckon?

I think your phone needs a doctor ?. Take him to the hospital (service center). Last resort before going to service center is take the battery out and charge it using one of those battery charger.

The annoyance is though its not the normal kind of battery you come across...
Take a look here: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/ScMAAOSwVm5Y-v50/s-l300.jpg

How do i find service centres located in Australia?

LG G4 Issue

The problem with my phone is that it doesn't turn on. It happened yesterday out of the blue when I was doing some practice questions on my computer. I was bored so I looked at my phone that was on the table for notifications and the screen didn't turn on. I don't even know what's the cause of it. I took out the battery out of the phone and held the power button down for 1 min. I also plugged it to multiple chargers without having the battery in it. There were no signs of life. No screen turn on, no charging indicator, nothing. I suspect it's a motherboard issue.
Has anyone had this issue before? If so, is it a motherboard issue? What is the cause of it? Are there other factors that are in play? How did you solve it? Thanks for your help!
you sure your battery isn't dead?

The battery was at 75% before it happened. Now the phone doesn't even charge.
if it doesnt charge it might be the charger port. do any lights come on when u plug in usb cable to charge?

Nope, nothing happens when I plug it in. But the battery was at 75%, so shouldn't the phone turn on?

take it to a shop, get them to test another battery
When I fried the mobo in my g4 that's exactly what happened except I was doing things that stressed the poor device out.
The warranty is extended for certain models I would try the LG warranty department.
