[Q] 3800mAh Extended Battery

I recently bought a spare battery for my phone knowing that the original battery sucked. But the problem is I can't get it to work :crying:. Whenever I plug it into the wall charger. The front 3 touch buttons starts to flash but nothing happen. I tried booting the phone up and still nothing. Someone please help. I also tried googling it. still no go.

Leave it plugged in. You don't even have enough battery power to start the phone. let it charge for a bit

Sounds like the battery is faulty to me (assuming your original battery works fine with the phone).

The flashing touch panels means a completely depleted battery.
Are you using the stock charger that came with your Nitro?...You HAVE TO use the stock (or similar charger that pushes at least 1A, might even be 1.1A) in order to "kickstart" the battery to charge up from that depleted state.

You can also try a battery charger.
Another option is to buy a cheap generic charger, cut out the connector that goes to the phone, get the + & - cables apart and use it to charge the battery.
Btw if you HAVE to this either your phone faulty or the battery is bad quality. I hope is the battery. Completely drain your stock battery and try the same thing.

Has anyone else noticed that this is NOT 3800Mah.? I used it today and did notice an improvement but nothing great and it certainly wasn't as long as a large battery like thay should be. The extra inch isn't worth the extra battery. So for now its become a backup

Ok currently I'm leaving the battery to charge with my phone for the whole day and let's see what happens. I'm currently using an iPhone charger head and a microUSB cable. Is that ok? When will I know it's out of the dead battery state? Is it when it lights up to the battery charging screen? So sorry the overwhelming questions. I really do not know.

Use the lg charging block and cable that came with the phone. If you get nothing after a few minutes try removing the battery for a minute. Reinstall and try charging again. That could do the trick.

No, an iPhone charger will not work. You will only be able to get 0.5A (500mA) from an Apple charger when used with an Android phone (because Apple uses its own proprietary spec with USB charging). Any non-Apple charger rated at over 1A (1000mA) should work.

Thanks for heads up. What if I use my samsung tablet charger? It gives of 2A. Is that better?

Should work. Keep in mind a 2A charger just means it's capable of drawing up to a maximum of 2A, but the Nitro HD won't actually use all of it. So it's safe to use a charger that is rated 2A.

I think an iphone charger won't work. You should try with a LG charger.

I use an iPhone USB to AC adapter with a charging cable for what is marked as an HTC phone... no problems.

[Q] battery problem :-/

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!

[HELP] Phone won't charge.

First it stopped fast charging. I then later it would only charge sometimes and then accidentally dropped it and now it wont charge at all. I don't know what to do. I tried another note 4 charger and it won't charge on that either. I just got the phone last Feb and it broke already? Is there anything to try before I take it somewhere to be fixed?
Phone won't charge on a note 4 fast charger
Tried 2 note 4 fast chargers.
When the phone is off it sits on the screen with the battery and the thunderbolt but never charges or shows a charge %.
Please help. The phone is in a pelican case. It doesn't look damaged from the outside but I don't know about the inside.
Edit: As soon as I posted this I tried again and it charged with fast charger. I don't understand what is going on.

Maybe the charging port is loose...You can try using wireless charging thought that will require a new back cover/ insert and a qi charger

Warranty. Go to AT&T Device Service Center

The battery could be defective as well. Try another battery or take it to ATT and tell them its not charging, they should have an extra battery to test with as well.

When you tried the other chargers, did you use their cable or the power block with your cable. My son had a similar issue with his Note 2 and did what you did but used his cable. Turns out the cable had a short in it. Replaced the cable and it charges fine ever since.

Yep. Was a bad wire. Not sure why others were not working at the time but eventually one started working and then they all started working again. I have no idea what was the problem.

vooc charger not charging

my find 7 vooc charger not charging any phone, few hour ago its charging my phone until 50% and its not charging again. any advice please?

Have you tried using other chargers or a USB to computer connection? It's possible that your VOOC charger simply kicked the bucket.

battery connection
i also faced frequent issue with my VOCC charging, sometimes its fast sometimes not, i knew that once above 80-85%, VOCC will stop.. but sometimes i cant get VOCC even at less 10% juice left.
but i found that removing the battery and reattaching it fixes the issue.. due to this my Carbon Back Case is damaged lol... too frequent.

I had the same problem. Oppo find 7S bought in china, used in Italy, after 1 year use the oppo VOOC charger stopped working :crying:, it doesn't charge any phone, the model of the charger is the old one, where you can't change the cable.
To solve the problem i bought the new one, and now i don't have any issue, hope this still work the next year. Greetings!
Ps.: Also my girfriend had the same problem with the VOOC charger, now she uses another charger too.

Same problem here, but is not the VOOC charger, but the battery itself....
I say it, because i have another batterie e and the VOOC charges normally.....
I presume some how, the original battery has reach a ending cycle of life....
Somehow i discovery this to help VOOC kicks in:
Use times to times another different charger, then VOOC. It seems sometimes to help.!

I discovered the same.
Not only has my phone shut down itself over night and showed 0% battery the next morning, but now also my vaac charger starts to charge for about 5 secs and then stops. Must be the battery and I'll contact Oppostyle now..

this is how my problem was solved

I had 2 issues:
1. VOOC not charging fast, but was charging, but extremely slowly. Including using other chargers
2. Phone not recognised when connected to computer via USB.
I took it in to the oppo service center in bangalore last month. THey fixed the issue by (what they claim) replacing the usb port and circuit within the phone . This took only 1 day. They also downgraded the software to the coloros 1.2 . They were very uncommunicative and had no proper process in place, including giving a handwritten receipt and bill!!!
But the total cost was inr830 or $12 so it was cheap and quick and it seems to have fixed the issue.

They changed sound card and gived charger without arguing in warranty

Dash charge RMA

Anyone ever had to RMA their phone due to dash charge quit working? Mine stopped working out of the blue and contacted support and they want me to send my phone in. So, could this really be a problem with the phone and not the charger? If I knew a new charger would fix it, I would buy one.

Does it still charge? How fast (mAh current ples).

Please be sure that your device or the charger B4 u send it
maybe the problem from the charger
try with another charger?

Here ya go. That's the thing.. I don't have another cable.
Yes, the phone charges fine just no dash charging.

So anyone think buying a new charger would save me the trouble of a RMA?

You are showing the charge rate when the phone is almost full.
Check when it's around 20% charged.
Cause at the end all android phones trickle charge.

Never breaks 1300 mA

Try some other charger before you send the phone.
My op3t was charging quite fast even with a car charger not a dash

FYI, I had trouble charging where sometimes dash charge wasn't available. One plus promptly sent me a new charging cable which solved my issue. I suggest trying to ask for new charger/cable before sending in phone.
