Hi, I just got an LG G4 yesterday. Charging using stock charger, or any other charger I had no problems with S3 before, is really slow. As in obviously slow. The unit is estimating 3-4 hours to charge 30%-40% of battery. Once it took around 20-30 minutes to just charge 5% of battery.
Using Ampere app it is showing on average just 270mah charge. Sometimes it registers 1660mah, then it drops down significantly and settles with 270mah.
Using the dual sim model if that's any help.
Is this a new battery thing? Should I insist to have the unit (or the battery) replaced? Is this a hardware or a software issue? Even if i insist to have this replaced I want to be able to explain that this is a factory defect.
Same problem here..
Really annoying.

Same here, I think it charges at full speed when the screen is off...
I got myself a QC2.0 charger and its doing exactly the same.
It does appear to charge faster with it while the screen is off but I'm wondering if there is an update to the device that needs to be done to fully support QC2.0
i've buy an Aukey Turbo Charger Adapter.
Then my G4 has fast charging more about 75%
I've seen the same thing happen on mine. Highest current I've seen was 1650 mah. And that's with the screen off. Leaving the screen on it reduces to 270 mah

I had the same problem but it stopped after about week. Now it charges quite quickly and that's not with the fastcharge that isn't too impressive.
Same issue. Charging went from 2% to 46% in about 3.5 hours and it says it's still another 4 hours before it completes charging. Totally annoying.
i using the Aukey Turbo Charger and get around 1%-1.5% every min i have done 30%-70% in like 40min
I have a HTC quick charger that I used with my M8. It works well with the G4. With the screen off I have had nearly 2 A charging. It is much less when the screen is on.
Just got my G4 and it's doing the same thing.

are you using the screen while its charging tho? how many times have you charged it already since you got it?

my post was made during 2nd ever charging. i did turn on screen occasionally, but not like it was on all the time.
last night charge was shorter - around 5.5 hours.
This is really annoying trying to stream music and navigation sometimes losses a charge. With nexus 5 I usually gained 30 plus percent on my way to work on 40 ish minutes with car charger.
It "might" be a software limitation, to avoid pushing the battery too hard in its early cycles. Same as a brand new car, they usually tell you not to drive too fast for the motor to actually run with optimal parameters.

I am also experiencing the same. I am getting 640mA. It is really frustrating. Yesterday I connected the phone with the provided cable with G4 with my laptop. And i was using the phone, not heavy using. And actually the battery was draining, rather than charging. I got so frustrated. I found the phone actually charges better while staying idle & screen off, but not very promising.
Yep, add me to that list too. T-Mobile G4 with screen off and no use because I'm driving almost all day just to see a 5-10% more charge after driving almost 2 hours. The original charger behaves the same way too. The only fix I've found is to turn the phone off and charge it. It charges really fast that way only.

Charged mine from 2 to 100% in under 2 hours with my note 4 charger
@fatboypup does this also work with screen on? Imagine using gmaps in the car, screen and gps active - it would be a pity if the g4 lost power in such a situation when on the car charger

As I noted above it is an issue with cars too. I'm lucky to gain 5 to 10 percent with navigation and streaming music in 45 mins. The same situation with nexus was over 30%.
Does this behavior stay or is it only for the first charges? Is there anyone who has no slow charging with screen on? Is the g4 gaining at least some percent when navigating with gmaps?
How long does it take you guys to charge from #% to 100% through USB Type-C quickcharge? Mine from 20% (i never got my phone below that) to 100% in around 1h. Is it normal? Or the battery is not calibrated properly yet? And it's a bit warm, tho. Not hot, just warm.
1-90% a little over a hour, forget warm the sd820 is freaking hot
So Samsung quickcharge is amazing, aye?
Considering you can use the phone for 20 hours and screen on time 5 to 8 hours of say one hour is fast.

Last night i left my phone with ONLY easyHome on. Disabled always-on display and closed all app in memory etc. Drained from 30% to ONLY 8% in 8h. I mean. Wow. My old lumia 920 took only ~10%. But this phone takes ~20%
Quick charge takes a little under 2 hours to go from 0 to 100% my oneplus 3 does it in half the time.

I have a issue with my pixel 2 XL charging slow, usually taking 4-6hrs to charge from 15-20 to 100%. I had google troubleshoot it but seems nothing can fix the issue. They asked me to replace my phone twice and I even got new cables and adapter but the same issue alerts occurs again and again. I even tried switching ports and tried outside my house but the charging time is still slow. I even tried in safe mode and still same behavior. Any advice that i could do good with?
Thank you!!
Same here. Went from @ 2 hours to fully charge to now taking 5-8 hours and won't charge at all while being used. Google issued an RMA but the link hasn't worked yet. Talked with 2 other Google reps and no one can figure out the problem. I'm doing advance replacement so I won't be without my phone for 2 weeks.
Hi, i was experiencing the same problem, but I have this workaround and is working, this battery is Li-Ion, so they don't like cold temperatures, install AccuBattery and check battery temperature before charging, try to warm up the battery to 23° or higher to start the fast charging (PD) capability of the Pixel 2 XL, this have worked for me everytime.
Doesn't work. Accubattery is how I knew how slow mine is. 490mA charging versus my daughter's 5x at over 1400mA. My battery is 86°F right now and nothing is different. Tried that after seeing the article last week. Seems mine changed after the February update.
Im experiencing this as well, rather annoying.
From my personal experience I have noticed that my device usually charges at around 3000-3400Mah while the screen is off, once the screen is turned on though it will drop to 1000 or below. This is a feature to keep temperatures down. What does accubattery say your screen off charge rates are? I will also add that I am on a custom ROM.

Accubattery shows average of 491 for screen on and screen off.
I noticed that when I first plug in the charger, accubattery shows charging well over 1000mah but after a few seconds it drops back down to the 4-500 range. Temp seems to be irrelevant, it was in the high 90s when I noticed this.
I'm having this 5 hour charge issue as well, but I started using an old moto z play stock charger and the phone now charges in like 1.5 hours. Crazy.
I guess this Picel 2 XL "slow charging" issue is quite a known issue (kinda glad actually for finding out I'm not the only one)
But my problem is that this "slow charging" issue gets even worst, my Pixel 2 XL sometime wont charge at all at the first attempt in plugging in the charging cable. And Now I have to make sure the "charging" icon is there when I plugged the charging cable sothat it will keep on charging till full (kinda annoying actually)
This started to happen to me about a week ago, while before that it only took me 2 hrs or so for having a full charged. anybody else care to share their experience e.q. when this is start happening to you guys or does the "slow charging" attempt always sucessfully charged when you plugged the cable or not (like what Im experiencing right now).
Do you guys return your phone?
Thanks in advance...
I have been using my og pixel XL charger and works way better than the pixel 2 xls. Seems to charge about 5 mins faster.

9 hours?! That's a new longest time record. LOL. You could charge faster with an A to C cable with a regular 2.4 amp charger.

What charging adapter and cable did you used? Original from google pixel?

Yes, the one that came in the box
I've had slow charging issues with all the custom roms. Plus the phone in with Ambient display, says slow charging. On a stock Rom, same thing, and it says Charging rapidly, and it charges faster.
Been posting on a few rom threads about this. All sorts of theories. Using stock charger/cable. They work fine with the stock OS installed.
It takes my 2xl 2.5 hours to fully charge..in comparison my v20 takes an hour 45 minutes and Moto x play an hour 30 minutes.. the device does not get warm while fast charging while the other 2 does.. fast charging on this phone is a joke
The battery needs to be warm, at least 24°C... It's a known issue, the power delivery feature doesn't start if the battery is cold... I warm the battery everytime before charging the phone and you can notice the difference.

Is this for real?
Care to give us the source for this as I havent found it nowhere in my Pixel 2 XL manual.
And now everytime I plugged in my phone (sometime) it just wont charge immediately and sometime it doesnt even start charging at all (I left it plugged in at night, and battery still not charged at all in the next morning)
So now, everytime I plug, I would have to always carefully check the charging "icon", whether it is "charging" immediately or if not I will have to unplug and replug it till the charging "icon" is ON and sothat I will have a full charged phone in the next morning (bit annoying actually). Sometime I even have to change a charging adapter or cable (and yes, I always use OG pixel 2 xl charger, but when it fails or not charging immediately I will havr no choice but use my samsung charger). And Now I will have better luck with slow charginv adapter i.e. 1 Amp charger, but yes it will take 5-6hrs instead of the 2.5hrs charging time that I used to have.
But what makes me questions myself is that, if all those "temp" thing is true, but why for the last couple of months I had this phone, it is immediately charging fine as its being plugged. Why now with the new behavior?
Thanks in advance

There's a very lengthy thread about the charging speed:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/review/charging-speed-t3685546/page39
It actually used to take nearly 3 hours when the phone first came out. Now it takes me 2 hours and 10-15 minutes to go from 1%-100%. It's definitely not the fastest to hit 100% but it gets to 85%, give or take, just as fast as most phones. Especially when comparing amount of mAh.
It's my opinion that Google is gun shy after the battery failures on the 6P.
So, I bought this smartphone in December 2019, I charge the phone only once a day and I don't use it during charging. I always only used the charger in box the 30w . I always try to keep the battery between 80-20%. And very rarely do I charge up to 100%. When I do I have around 9/10 sot.
So, 4 days ago, I installed the "accubattery" APP just to check the battery status after 4 full charges says that I have 90% of the initial battery capacity ... I thought something was wrong and uninstalled the app and reinstalled it today, charged from 10 to 100% and says I have 88% of the initial capacity left.
Does anyone have this app and the results are like this or did you notice something like this?
Is it because of the fast charge?
Can anyone give tips on how to take better care of the battery?
Same problem here with battery, the app show me values in health under 90, but performance and durability is fine.
Maybe it is because of fast charge, I'm gonna try disable it
