Hi
I have owned an lg g4 T-Mobile for a few months now and it's on stock marshmallow and it's been working fine up till recently.
Here is the issue
1) phone sometimes doesn't recognise the charger, I tried different cables and chargers with the same result, although the problem was more consistent with a quick charger 2.0.
2) phone sometimes recognises the charger but I leave it plugged for an hour and the phone doesn't charge at all.
3) I used to charge my phone using a quick charger 2.0
4) no change in battery life
5) everything else is fully functional.
6) I stopped using the quick charger since and the phone has mostly been charging normally, I don't know how to explain it but after stopping charging with the quick charger, other chargers started charging normally again.
I can use the regular charger with no problems but I really miss the fantstic quick charging.
Could the quick charger have actually damaged the phone, is it safe to use it ?

Hi guys, I have a Tilt2 with the EnergyROM...
My phone recently started acting up, and wont charge the battery when plugged in (oem HTC charger)
The orange light turns on, and phone says charging but battery level doesnt change, in fact it drains as usual. Yet sometimes if I leave the phone plugged in it will start charging?
I also get the current charge isnt enough switch to AC charger or close applications error sometimes when plugged with the AC charger...
I'm leaning towards a bad battery but wanted to see if anyone had this problem before?
Thanks in advance!
That sounds like a charger problem. try a different one.
thanks for the response...i tried a charger that had the usb plug to it, i tried a charger with a usb end on it, and two car chargers and i get the same effect...i did hard resets and even installed a new ROM to see if it would help. but no luck

It's the the charging points , look at the middle bar is it staight across try bending it just a little , a smidge left or right , I had this issue before and also on my original tilt and it fixed it.
I have an untouched, unbranded Defy on 2.21 which works fine until I connect it to a usb lead for charging whereupon the touch screen stops responding and usually remains like this for about 30 seconds after I have unplugged the usb cable.
Until this morning when I had had it connected overnight to a cradle by the bed and could not turn the alarm off. I ended up pulling the battery, but at least I was awake by then, I suppose.
My question is: is this a common problem, and if so is there a cure?
And a supplementary one: would a custom ROM, CM7 or Miui, solve the problem?
Any help greatfully received!
my defy behaves exactly the oposite way. When connecting with USB cable I am able to ude the phone properly, everything works fine all applications' responsiveness are great. However, when charging the battery using the power cable, the phone starting hanging on every application. Everything starts getting slow and a simple touch takes 5 or 6 seconds to retrieve any action from the phone.
I dont know if this a common behavior for the defy neither if has any fix for that, i got used to it so i always charge my phone when it is off.
I have this issue too, but a little different. When I use a different charger than the original one, the screen is stuck, but I think, it is charging. When I use the standard charger, it works perfektly. I can't explain why.
By the way: I'm using CM7 with the nightly from yesterday
i am also using CM7, but the beta 6 version. I will try this test. I have two different charges, one original and another not, i will see if it behaves the same way you are saying. i will post my results soon.

same here..
Possibility of charger voltages rating differences giving out the output here I guess.
The original charger has been calibrated with just enough voltages/current to supply the phone during charging whilst the non-original charger doesn't have the exact voltage/current needed by the phone during charging thus giving the phone all sort of problems. One may see the non-original charger has label the right rating as per the original label but that doesn't give any warranty it work exactly like the original charger.
I recomend to use only original charger to avoid any damages may occur to the phone.
If one using original charger and still having phone behaving strangely. It may be caused by the phone itself(hardware issue) or the original charger(manufacturing defect) which by this mean you're one of the unlucky owner.... get a replacement ASAP..
I'm not sure about running firmware as such Eclair, Froyo or custom rom would do anything about charging side effect here.
I thought, that an intelligent power management only takes as much current as it needs. My adapter has 2 outputs (max 500mA, max 1000mA). I would expect the phone to work with any of these. When I plug in my navigation unit it works perfectly.
I'll take the adapter with me and try it with the original Defy of a friend. If it works with his phone its a software issue if not I'll have to look out for an alternative charging my phone in the car.
i deeply tested last night, charging with the original charges let the phone 100% useable without any lags while the usb charger kept me having lags and keeping the phone without any good responsiveness. No more usb chargers anymore
same here, original charger (btw, that is ALSO a USB charger...) works, but aftermarket charger, screen no (or little) response.
when connect to pc, works so-so.

don't expect every gadgets will work on any universal charger. The exact rating counts on a delicate devices specially on touch screen product. Grounding too must be equally the same from the charger to the phone which would result non side effect on using while charger is connected. Avoid using local based charger if possible as it could save your phone from damaging. Buy original if you really need it.

this happen to me too sometimes, but not all the time
For some reason, I was charging my phone and it just stopped. It was only the second time I decided to charge without "fast charging" ticked and it is puzzling me. After testing a combination of all my chargers, I found that the problem seems to be the fast charging adapter. It does not even stay plugged in all the time... Is it normal for them to stop working after only a few months? Or could the problem lie within my phone?
Okay, I am pretty sure the problem is with the adaptive charger and maybe the usb cable. Would Best Buy be able to exchange my charger for a new one since I bought the phone in like October or something?
I've had PI3 for a little over a week.
Starting last night, with original charger, fast charging stopped working and regular charging kept going in and out.
I notice it had powered off overnight, and when it was on later, it said the phone had powered off because it was overheating, so it powered off for safety.
PC charging still works(cable to PC) and it seems other fast charging with some other chargers it working either.
Fast charging doesn't work with any charger now.
Is it possibly the ROM? Can you fast charge while the phone is powered off? Any ideas?
Settings -> Battery -> Fast Charging (Cycle that On/Off/On)
If that doesn't work then I'd say it sounds as though the original charger malfunctioned/died/has an issue.
Do you know someone with a original S6 charger to test that theory?
That's my input as I haven't had a problem on PI3. Good luck!
EDIT:
Yes the phone fast charges when powered off if fast charging is enabled.
Ok, I'm trying some different cables too, but definitely it seems that fast charging is not working anymore, no matter which fast charger i use.
You had a charging problem with different firmware and different cables as you reported here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/help/poor-car-charging-reboot-t3470187
It seems likely the issue is with the port on your phone.
I determined it's the charging port. Thank you
Well, I got official nougat update on my OP3 and everything is working fine. But I am not sure if dash charging is working anymore:
1, no blue LED, everytime I connect phone with dash cable and charger, I see only red LED
2, in battery settings there is just ordinary "charging from outlet", not a single mention about dash.
Anybody here with same problem?
Mine updated last night and I still get the blue light and the "dash charging" text on the lock screen

Reboot the device, it happened to me. Reboot fixed this. If that doesn't fix it then go into recovery and wipe user data. ALL YOU DATA INCLUDING INTERNAL STORAGE WILL BE WIPED SO PLEASE BACK UP FIRST!
I'm not responsible if something bad happens

WIping userdata wont help lol. Dash has nothing to do with the data partition. Try a reboot ;D
I already wiped all data right after update. Tried reboot few times with no luck.
//EDIT WUT, I tried charge with ordinary charger and THEN dash > Now it works! So I really don't know how I fixed it, but if you have same problem, you can try this. Or maybe these restarts fixed it.

Did you charge from null while using ordinary charger? I am facing same issue since updating to Nougat and trying ordinary charger didn't help. I have tried rebooting about 15-20 times but no luck :crying:

Try pluging whole connector into dash charger, it can happen.
Have same problem since yesterday, even rebooted, still slow charge. I will try the idea with switching to ordinary charger and back next time.
My dash charging is not working. stopped suddenly recognising dash charger.
oxygen os 4.1.0. (non rooted)
dash charger and cable working fine. checked with other op3 it charges as dash. so that is not the issue. I have two separate dash chargers and cables. tried all iteration. my phone does not recognise that dash charger is used.
charging spped is great but the dash charging logo does not appear.
for all out there factory reset does not solve this problem. did it twice. cleaned cache etc.
SAD. Great hardware supported by very poor software. wake up OP
Hey all
If your dash charging is not detecting (even with a proper dash charger and cable) please check if it gets detected when connected to PC. Mine did not detect.
There is a problem with the motherboard and it needs replacement. A quick trip to the service centre should solve the problem.
However with change in motherboard there is change in IMEI number.
Your not alone... Mine is messed also

Just try after reboot. It works fine.
Charger connection sequence probably matters
I am using LineageOS v. 14.1 (Nougat 7.1 based), nightly build dated 27-Apr-2017.
Also I am using microG instead of GApps (no GApps installed).
Phone is rooted with SuperSU.
DASH charge worked well. But once upon a time the phone stopped to charge with factory DASH charger and factory DASH cable at all. But it was still being charged with third party chargers via factory DASH cable. When I connected DASH charger to wall socket, charging icon on the phone appeared for a second and then disappeared. No charging were noticed, battery percentage continued to go down.
Reboots did not help.
But what helped is unplugging DASH charger brick from the wall socket and plugging it back in socket many times. Maybe 5 or even 10 times. After one plugging charger in the wall socket the charge icon appeared and stayed in place. The charging circle started spinning, charging percentage went quickly up. It surely fast DASH charge since LineageOS does not tell DASH 4A charge from regular 1.5A charge but phone gets 100% charged in about 1 hour.
Possible cause of this issue may be using non-factory low current 0.7A charger and factory cable for a couple of times. I used to charge my phone intentionally slowly over night to get it charged in the morning and not staying charged all night while I am sleeping. Also such slow charging helped in the past my old phone batteries to perform better.
Hope this simple unplug-plug advise helps somebody.
UPD 08-May-2017:
After 2 days the problem reappeared. Done 4 brick plug-unplug attempts with no luck. After one attempt (5th overall attempt) plugging USB-A connector into wall socket plugged brick, the charging begun. So maybe phone wants us to connect Type-C connector to phone, DASH brick to wall socket and lastly plug USB Type-A cable connector to brick. Consider to check this later.
UPD 09-May-2017
Plugged factory DASH Type-C cable to phone, plugged factory DASH charging brick to wall socket and lastly plugged USB Type-A cable connector into the charging brick. Charging begun immediately. Phone claims it will be charged in 50 minutes from 5% to 100% which is possible only on DASH mode. Voila!
Conclusion:
Before cleaning cache and reinstalling software consider just plugging original factory charger in right sequence: USB Type-A connector of cable to be plugged in charging brick last. Plug Type-C connector into phone and charging brick into wall socket before.
