I have noticed that my phone charges super slow. A few times, while only surfing the web, my battery % went down while plugged into a wall charger. With the phone off, it would charge about 1% every 2 minutes. Surfing the web this morning for 15 minutes made absolutely no difference in battery %. I started when it reached 63% and 15 minutes later it was still 63%. I am using my old HTC charger, which was super fast with gs3. I dont know what the deal is. Can anyone do some testing? Screen brightness was at 50% while browsing.
Thanks

What's the amperage of the charger? Might not be enough for the G3 and its monster screen. The charger it comes with (based on what I'm seeing online) is 1.8 Amps.

I'd double-check that if I were you. It should be much higher than that otherwise (as you're seeing ) it would take forever to charge the battery. I believe the Optimus G Pro was 2.1 A so I think the 1.8 A I was seeing online sounds about right for the G3.

Ill doble check after work. I ordered a few new charging cables, one is 22awg charge only and the other is 24awg charge/sync. Maybe getting a few extra chargers would be a good idea. Does it matter if i get anything above 1.8A?
First thing to test would be trying the lg oem wall charger with the stock cable that came in the box. if it still doesn't charge properly then I would do a factory reset. I remember this issue when the N5 first came out and a factory reset fixed it
I got so many cables that in not sure which one came with the phone. I did get 2.1A charger just a bit ago.

I'm using the one from my G Pro (2.1A) and haven't had any problems with this phone or my last. Charge times are great and it's got a nice long cable.
The factory one is 1.8A which means it will take less than 2 hours to go from 0 to 100%. This however is dependent on what the phone is being used for during rid time. I've used a 2.0A charger without issue and both work fast. So if my math is correct to go from 0 to 100% will take ~100 minutes, thus 1.8A => ~30mah is charged per minute.
EDIT:
Also I checked on qualcomms website, and the max input rate SD801 SOC can charge at is 2.0A
Sent from my LG-D850 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I have a lot of issues charging with different cables and USB power sources. The stock cable works best on the stock charger, but also charges very fast on my Asus ultrabook with USB3.0 ports designed for charging.
Using basic cables in my car or on various other chargers/power packs, I get HORRID charge times. Do we need to get special cables or what? I bought a 2-amp charger from Sprint, and that cable also works wonderfully. Though for some reason the stock LG cable + 2.1-amp charger in my car can BARELY increase my battery % while driving. I have GPS and data running the whole time.
What concerns me is when I first bought the phone, it would charge just fine on ALL of my cables and power sources. It's like it got more picky over time, and I fear it's from that janky USB connection. The port seems offset, just as many others have reported here.

Have you ever figured out the slow charging issue? This is killing me. I love my G3 but I'm really considering selling it.
My phone is plugged up and it showed 19%, somehow it dropped down to 18%.

yes, it was both combination of usb cords and wall chargers. looking for a post i created in the accessories forum. it lists what items worked while i was testing them.

I used the OEM LG USB cord with my girlfriend's Galaxy S5 charging brick and it seems to work amazing. I guess the real culprit is the OEM charging brick from LG.

That wasn't the case with me. The original charger was the only one that can charge at 1.8a. All 2.1a that I got weren't even close. I bought 2 more g2 chargers and 3 kopi wires. Now there no issues. I want to try kopi wall charger. So far, their cords and car chargers are the only that actually work well.
I timed mine the other day and it charges a just over 1% per minute so slightly quicker than my Oneplus One and a fair bit quicker than my M8 all using their own chargers that came with the phones.

No. Simple math, 3000 / 1800 = 1.7. So 1.7 hours is the absolute minimal charging time, without any losses, which you will always have.
Also 80 minutes is simply impossible.

Hello,
So I was at about 10% when I went to bed last night (around 11 PM). I plugged my phone into an outlet charger (the one that came with my old Nexus 4, not the one in the G3 box) and when I woke up (645 AM) the phone was only at 65% charged? I can't imagine that it would take over 7 hours to do a complete charge. Has anyone else experienced this? The only thing I can think of is that my old charger produces less output than the one in the box, but I haven't tested it out yet.

Try it again with the actual g3 charger so you can know for sure if it's a phone issue or a charger issue.

Over the past few weeks I have been testing all kinds of chargers and cables. I noticed that the G2 charger is the closest to G3 but not as good. The issue is the cable itself. Kopi 20awg with oem charger, g2 will work, charges at the same speed as the original one.

Did your phone stop charging in the middle of the night? That happened to mine on the first night when I used an old iPhone (1000mA) charger. It just quit somewhere in the 60% range. Switching to a higher powered charger (iPad - 2100mA) it charges very quickly. On my desktop at work, the USB3 port I have charges at an abysmally slow rate (prob 500mA or less, and in a lousy reception area so it's burning 100-200 of that just keeping the network alive).
The boxed charger, btw, is 1800mA.
Thanks for the responses. I will try the charger that came with the device overnight tonight and report back in case anyone else has similar issues.

The phone/battery are literally 2 days old. Can't imagine it's the battery already. I will do some more troubleshooting since is obviously not a common occurrence.

try wiping battery in cwm if helps,and install super charge as some custom build roms are buggy.
My Xperia ZL wouldn't charging from getting too hot in the middle of the night. I would wake up to a very low battery. Between the screen waking up, trying to find a signal, and covering it with my pillow it would get too hot. Haven't had the issue with the G3 yet but I have woken up to the screen on and that stupid battery fully charged message.

my scren doesnt stay on when battery is full. it will light up for a brief period of time and then turns off. the green led stays on.
The nexus 4 charger is probably rated at a much lower amperage 1.2A actually https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Nexus_4_Power_Adapter?id=nexus_4_charger&hl=en
However your cable will also play a big role in this. The rating on the cable will determine whether or not it will actually allow that much current to pass through it. The stock charger works great, it chargers in less than 2 hours from 0 to 100%. I only use my nexus 7 charger to charge my spare battery on its cradle which is no big deal because it doesn't need to be fast.
Mine takes about 2 hours and 20 min for 0 to 100%
That charger may also be sending dirtier power because it's older too. I'm amazed at how fast mine charges. I haven't timed it, but it has to charge over 35% in an hour if you start at around 20%. Hell, I have started wirelessly charging with a Powerbot (connected to official charger) at about 15% at night and woken up a few hours later and checked the time and the thing was at 100%.
RESOLVED
OK, this is resolved, seems like the issue was in fact the charger I was using. I used the one that came with the unit and it charged up no problem. At least that issue is solved in case anyone else runs into. Thanks everyone.
Hi all, brand new but I've been a lurker of the Tmo s6 edge forums.
Anyway here's the predicament. I got my S6E yesterday set it up, used for the rest of the day with no qualms.
When I went to put it on the charger it was at 7%, i thought to myself, I'll use an Apple 5W charger for a slower charge throughout the night.
I figured the slower, low powered charge will be better for the battery.
As it was charging it stopped in the middle of the night at 20%. From there, the phone constantly went from Charging, not charing, charging, not charging; repeatedly until I woke up to discover it at 7:20AM. I plugged in the phone at 2:30AM. It must have been in this charging on/off loop since 2:45AM or so. The phone was pretty toasty. The screen was on and the phone kept making that noise when you connect/disconnect from the charger.
So my question. will 4ish hours of everything i just mentioned fry the battery?
Edit: By fry I mean significantly reduce the overall battery lifetime. The phone seems fully functional.
All that noise and you didn't wake up earlier?
No, I'm sure it'll be fine. I've used Blackberry and older, non-fastcharging Samsung chargers on mine.
Had the same issue on my S3, it's battery lasted four years (gave it to my brother as a gift).
If you really want to check what's happening, get a $5 USB current monitor plug in adapter on ebay. It shows what voltage it's outputting and the current. I noticed that my old AT&T Note 3 OEM charger's voltage was actually high at 6V or so. This is to charge the device faster, but it didn't work well with any other devices or even portable battery packs.
Just put 13 stable on my phone and charging my phone Takes forever I mean it's slow as hell..Wasn't the best on Android 12 but hell on Android 12 it was way faster.. That's the one thing I hate about this phone the battery life sucks an charging the battery is so damn slow..I got all the Adaptive crap turned off.
I'll have to pay more attention to the charging speed on my P6P and let you know what I experience. I try to never use fast charging, never charge overnight, try not to let the battery go below 25% and don't charge past 75%. That 50% range lasts me about 24 hours, but I might use my phone less than you.
I had no complaints about the charging speed on Android 12.
Edit: I'm happy with how much my phone has charged in the last 45 minutes, given that I don't use fast charge methods.
I am having the same issue. Installed 13 stable on my 6 pro. My battery got down to 4% so I plugged it in. I continued to watch YouTube and after an hour it was only up to 8%. Something is def wrong. The battery sucked before but now it's even worse
Updated yesterday and seems ive now got an issue with wireless charging. My phone stopped charging at 81% overnight. Its very intermittent whether it starts charging now on the two wireless chargers i have and seems to stop randomly, not getting to 100%. Charges fine using a cable.
Have the same problem since upgrading to android 13.
According to AccuBattery is the charge current around 900 mA. Way too slow and really annoying!
Didn't have the problem with android 12.
I'm using an Anker Power Port III which can charge with up to 25W. It's the same with other cables and charging devices.
Edit: Attached some screenshots
To clarify one thing for a number of users, you will not get adequate charging speeds without the official charging cable, the 30W Google branded wall brick and good temperature conditions.
The temperature conditions are generally the hardest to control whilst using the device - so I always charge with my phone powered off and have never had an issue. Heck, I generally charge with a 5W wireless pad and it always reaches 100% overnight (usually takes about 5 hours with my minimal wattage charging pad).
*Edit*
In the end - with the official cable usage - my charging speed hasn't changed between A12 and A13.

I think you didn't get my point. I did a comparison between android 12 and android 13. Since the charging speed is reduced dramatically it doesn't matter which cables or charging devices I use unless they are the same.
So we don't discuss absolute charging times here but the fact that by upgrading the OS of our Pixel 6 Pro the charging behaviour changed ceteris paribus.
I charge slowly over night, the charger i use normally charges at 1.5A max, now on A13 it is charging at 800mA
I have ESR magsafe ring. My car charger is working for about 2 minutes and stops. Battery temperature reach 43°C within 2-3 minutes since I upgraded to android 13.
All of the magsafe accessories stopped working. All of the normal QI chargers stopped working. I absolutely hate this phone. First 3 months - no reception in buildings. Still no 5G in my country even with root and signal guru. Now it's not charging wirelessly and only slow charing with cable.
My new guess is it is due to the overheating problem with the update to Android 13.
A lot of people complain about the high temperature. Therefore the phone reduces the charging speed.
Maybe that's also the reason for the problem with the wireless charging. too much heat = no wireless charging. Just guessing...
ATM I rebooted my phone to safe mode. Let's see if this helps.
Somehow I solved the problem. I booted into safe mode. Then I clean the temp files with Google Files. And now my phone is charging with 2mA and above again. Also the temp of the battery is down to 36°. I still think that is the root cause.

well we know for one you dont need that
just a cable capable of the current and a charger that hits PPF standards
and even with/without official chargers it will only peak 21w
im using a £5 Gan charger and a USlion 2M long magnetic 60w cable that can do data aswell and it is doing 20w peak for me on A13 which is what it did on A12 aswell. Both which i bought before the official charger came out

Nope, still charging like a piece of [crap, so,] not sure what Google did with A13 , I use official charger for fast charge, considerably slower than on A12
But yeah 3rd party Chinese charge and magnetic cable no issues. Charging issues are not a13 related it will be some defining factor like an app or hardware

I am having the same problem
I updated my pixel 5a to 13 stable. It's charging speed decreased a lot . Firstly it took around 1hr 50 min to get 100 now it's lot
more than 3hr. Gets lot of heating while charging.
Sometime it shows "6 hr to full charge" even at (30-40) battery level, and that's really bad .
After 13 Device is heating ( not just warm) so much even in normal uses (No gaming).
My own testing found out as long as battery reach 41 degree C, the P6P will charge at 3.5W only... (While still displaying fast charging). It you put the phone in front of air conditioner vent to lower the temperature to 25 degrees C, then it charging at full 20W.
The P6P easily get into battery y 41 degrees C by just charging at room temperature higher then 32 degrees C. On A12 its pretty difficult to get this... Somehow A13 drive the CPU while charging which I suspect affect the heat dispatching. I used a charging wire with watterage display so its easily see how P6P limiting the charging wattage with temperature.
It was considerably slower for me too. I was in Spain, coming from UK, so had to use adapter. I thought it's the case, but it has also been something with temperatures, I couldn't backup the pictures because the system showed me it's too hot. I hope that was the issue.
I just swith to Android 13 there are ossue with battery . please fix it .you guys are doing great work
Hello!
I have been using RM8P for the past 2 weeks and everything was fine, the 65W EU adapter charged it really fast, however today I noticed something. I noticed that when I plug in the adapter to charge, the Maxcharge logo appears and the percentage displayer starts to rise fast, however after 1-2 seconds it slows down to normal charging speed, like if it was only a 20-30W adapter.
Why? How can I fix it? Restarting the phone did not help. I am on the latest OS for EU (3.19) .
Maxcharge logo is displayed but the speed drastically descreased ...
I checked several times while charging and I noticed that sometimes it speeds up and sometimes it slows down... why? Why is it fluctuating ?
What is the battery level when you plug in? My understanding of charging tech is that it is not always full speed from min to max. If you're sometimes plugging in above that throttle level it may go slower.
Then again, I'm not 100% on new charging tech. My RM8 has yet to arrive.
In my experience, it's not the phone but the charger. With my old op9pro it happened more than once, the charger started failing, you could get another 65w rated charger and check with accubattery the power delivered by both chargers. Down here they shipped the phone with the eu charger and a standard American charger rated "65” the eu Nubia charger goes to 64/ 65 watts without issues (I use an adapter to connect it) , the bundled one even though is rated 65 only gives 45w, sometimes 39, which is a bit annoying but it doesn't bother me, as long as I can charge it while having a shower or when I'm having breakfast before taking off, it does the trick, this thing is so good, battery lasts me 2 days
