So it would seem that my charger is not working properly.. it still works I guess, but it charges my G about as fast as a usb port, which is not right obviously.
Strangely enough the phone charges fine using usb, albeit showing the "slow charging". When I plug in to the adapter in the wall, it doesn't show slow charging, it shows the battery icon animation with the bolt that would signify it is charging, however the phone doesn't warm at all and crawls by one percent every 10-15 minutes. The adapter itself doesn't even get warm to the touch like it used to.
So how can I get another adapter? I've looked online and can only find replacements for other models.. this adapter shows the output as a 5v 1.2 amp.
Is it okay to simply get another third party charger with the same power output? does anyone know?
Thanks!
You can. I use a 1A charger and have had no issues.

Awesome, thank you for confirming.. has anyone else experienced any weirdness with the chargers that they are aware of?
There's a handful of similar threads on here already.
My charger stopped charging my OG a couple if weeks after I got it. But, it still charges my wife's Galaxy S2 LTE HD.
And, the charger for my old Sony Xperia Pro charges the OG without issues.
See the other thread for more details.

Maybe it's just a crappy charger that LG is including with the second phones.

Oddly enough I purchased a new charger today., charged to 45% and then stopped.. the charger shows a green light as of the battery will not accept any further charge.
So I wiggled the usb cable and it starts charging again.. whats really weird is that using that cable charges when using usb just not a wall adapter so I will be trying with a different cable.

I had problems charging and it turned out to be the included USB cable. Switched to my cable I use for my Logitech harmony remote and no issues.

Indeed it is.. Tried a new charger first as mentioned above, but grabbed a new cable today and it appears to be exactly the problem. Strange considering that it works when using usb from a computer.. I guess it somehow is unable to charge at the rated 1A output using that cable.
Thankful that is working now.. so yeah, anyone who suffers from weird charging it would appear the cable can indeed be suspect
My the wall charger that came with my OG has the same problem. It started charging slow after a few weeks. I just used a different thing that goes into the wall but the same cable that came with my OG and it started charging fast again.
i am using my O3D charger for my Optimus G.. i havent had a problem yet.. so i would have a batter and say its the included cruddy charger from LG.

For sure, was my initial thought as well., however I can confirm that the charger is working fine just using a different cable.. so now I am just using the stock cable with my pc for transfers and charging and the new cable with the wall adapters.
Hi recently I bought 2 LG G3's (D855)
1 Black
1 White
The Black one is for my girlfriend, I received it with the original seal broken and replaced by another where as my white LG was not.
The black LG is displaying
"Charging slowly with charger/USB. Connect to a standard charger to charge faster"
I compared both of our chargers when they arrived and they both look identical.
I have tried another working charger and it still displays the same message.
The white LG is totally fine with charging.
Not had much chance to tinker around with it as of yet just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and solved it.
Thanks in advance.

If you're literally charging from a USB connected to a computer it actually outputs less power. However, if you're plugged into the wall this can be a problem. Have you tried the same exact outlet? Output can vary from outlet to outlet.

I am talking about plugged into the wall not charging via USB from computer, it displays the message as if it is connected to a computer and not the wall which is confusing and yes I've tried. I did a search on Google about this problem, it seemed a few people experienced this with LG G3's but could not find an answer. Its quite a bit problem as a full charge takes about 12 hours.

If you're rooted you can remove that message so you don't see it, but other than that I would contact whomever you purchased it from and tell them about it. Sorry for not having any other solutions.

My white one is rooted but I wasn't intending on rooting my girlfriends LG in case she bricks it lol..
I was maybe thinking its a software problem, I will try and update it or maybe flash it, see if the problem still occurs. Either way I'll update this post if I fix it so it can help others.

I know that sometimes with my stock charger because it only outputs 1.1amps I get the slow charging message, it's probably just that the LG stock charger doesn't output enough for android to think it's charging properly (Usually around 1.2-1.5a output). You have to remember, even with it plugged in, the phone is still using power so the amount actually going to your battery isn't 1.1amps, in most cases it's somewhere around 400-600 milli-amps, so I'd say that's why you're getting the message. I know if I use my sister's Galaxy S5 wall charger that outputs 2.1 amps, even when in use the battery still gets 1.2 amps sent to it to charge, and I don't get the slow charging message, so I'd say you just need a higher-output charger (I don't know why LG thought 1.1 amps would be sufficient for a device with a QHD screen..)

Looks like LG are supplying the wrong charger's for some of there phone's
I just managed to try my White LG G3 Charger with the Black LG and the message has gone for now
The White Charger is 5V, 1.8A, Don't have the Black one with me at the moment but im guessing its the same as @iDefalt
Still strange how it does this with the black and not the white model both are D855's as my old Samsung charger works fine with my White LG but not with the Black model
Thanks for your guys help :good:

Yeah man, this is definitely weird
I have the same issue too.
I get the error message saying "charging slowly with charger/USB. Connect to a standard charger to charge faster."
I have the black LG-d855 32gb with 02/2015 manufacturing date. My charger outputs 5v 1.8amps (black charger). When I use my Asus 5v 1.3 amp charger (using the same stock lg cable) I get no issues at all and charges the phone fully in less than 2 hours. The stock LG charger wont fully charge my phone overnight (6 hours). I updated to lollipop but still I have the same issue.

i also experienced same problem with my LG G3 so now i am using samsung's 2 amp charger to charge my lg g3 :crying:
Make sure the usb cable that plugs into the power brick is completely seated.
I had same error and only just now noticed that the plug was only 90% of the way in.
Unplug the usb cable from the power brick and then plug it back in. Use more force than you believe to be necessary, be a macho man!
THe error will go away if the usb cable is all the way seated into the power brick, make sure to push it ALL THE WAY IN.
Try this once

Well for starters have you interchanged the chargers to see if the problem replicates itself on the other phone? Also do remember to interchange BOTH the sable and the power adapter. An adapter can be a problem , but as I found out with my OPPO, just the cable itself can be a problem too.
How it works is that pure data / sync cables have inherently lower charging current. Fast charge cables on the other hand have the data pins (3,4 I guess) shorted out . such fast charge cables have a higher charging current than the sync cables.
Try this
Strp-1. Interchange the whole charging setup between the phones
ie - Replace the black phone's Adapter+Cable (Both) with the White one's adapter+cable , and vice versa. See if you can replicate the same problem on the other phone. If it does , then go to Step 2
Step-2 This Step will tell you if the problem is with your adapter or the cable( it is very much possible) start with the original setup ie the one before step one.
So now try the interchange step separately for the Adapters and the cables.
Ie first just interchange the adapter and if the problem is replicated on the other phone, then the problem is with the adapter. If not , go back to the original setup and interchange just the cables, if you did not see the problem with the adapter , the problem is obviously with cable and this Step will confirm it. You should see the error now when you have interchanged the cables. Best of luck
As far as I've read the g4 is 2.0 charging capable. I tried using my Samsung fast adaptive charger which from what I've scene is qualcom 2.0 and I get the charger not compatible error message and charging stops. This particular charger has been used on different 2.0 charging devices as I've scene in a charger comparitve test so why does it not work on my g4? There's no reason it shouldn't work. Output is 9.v=1.87A or 5.0v=2.0 A. Can't find any info on the web. Same charger works on my moto x 2014 which a 2.0 compatible. Even if the charger couldn't sustain the higher output it should still charge at the lower rate

Is it Samsung specific chargers? Don't want to waste the money on a new charger and have the same problem especially since I have a draw full of non fast chargers.

I bought a supposedly-QC 2.0-compatible Samsung charger off eBay. My G4 refused to charge from it at all ("not compatible"). But it would charge my S3 alright. A coworker just bought an S6, it charged that just fine, and I believe the phone indicated it was quick-charging. I did not get the part # off the charger.
I was kind of surprised, as I'm pretty sure I'd seen people mention charging their G4 with Samsung fast chargers.

I have the Anker Powerbank IQ 13000mAh and it has been my solid and trustworthy companion for almost two years. However if I try to charge my Nexus 5x (I do have a recommended usb c to a cable) with it,it charges just for a split second and then turns off only to switch on a second later. Charging the Nexus 5x is impossible with it. All my other devices charge perfectly fine. Does anyone experience the same problem? Is there a fix?
