Phone says it is charging but it is not actually charging - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Last night I charged my phone with the standard charging cable and the phone said it was charging. This morning I woke up and it had not charged at all. It still says it is charging but no power is going to the device. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Thanks!
Edit: Wireless charging is also not working.

I would try to charge the phone with another micro-usb cable without changing the stock 1.8Amps charger. It's very common for those cables to get damaged after some time of usage and not deliver enough current for the phone to charge.

That did not seem to do anything. The fact that wireless charging also isn't working has me worried.

Battery/Charging Problems

I just recently bought a wall charger since I lost the original one a while back. I've been charging via USB this whole time (maybe 6-8 months now). Anyway, when I charge with the wall charger, it'll say 100% and the green light would turn on (instead of the orange/amber for charging) so I assume that it's done. As soon as I unplug it, it drops maybe like 20-30%.
Is this a problem with the charger? Or the battery itself? I don't think it's battery since I've never had this problem when I would charge via USB. Could it be that my phone's just not used to being charged with a wall charger? Maybe because it's being charged faster with the wall charger that it's "used to" with USB? Any thoughts would be great.
No there's nothing wrong with your phone,if it gets charged via usb,then its fine.Fault is with your new wall charger,is it compatible with your phones specifications ? is it the original recommended or from other third party manufacturer ?. Wall charger must output a charge of 1.0 amp to fully get the pda battery,less then 1.0 amp will not charge the battery. Check this out,ok
Cheers!

Charging Problems

My phone won't charge from a mains charger, it will charge from USB (Very slowly) and an in-car charger but not from mains. I bought another charger just to check that it wasnt the supplied HTC charger being faulty, and that doesnt work either. When i plug the new charger in the wall the charger lights up, when i plug it into the phone it doesnt light up.
The phone will charge fine from USB and the car charger, but when the phone is turned off it wont charge from USB. When i got the phone i thought i had charged it from the mains for 4 hours like the manual said, but im now thinking that it didnt charge as i didnt notice the LED lighting up. I'm wondering if by not charging it properly the first time i have damaged the battery.
I just tried the mains charger for my Jabra BT headset and it charges fine from that, but only at USB charging speed. But it charges when switched off unlike USB. I'm wondering if maybe i have done something in Advanced Config, i have enabled all the power saving settings.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what i can do and what might be wrong.

[Q] Phone won't charge properly

I'm at a complete loss. The other day my phone was charging fine. I have the original charger for my s5 and I went to visit my family just a town over. When I got there my phone would not charge correctly. It would charge extremely slow. I'm back home now and while charging I'm still losing battery percentage. I downloaded battery monitor and it says plugged in discharging and the mA flow says -758mA right now but it keeps fluctuating. A while ago it was actually in the + but that was a while ago. At my work there is a charger that is also a 2.1Amp charger and it charges my phone fine. I understand it is my charger but I have used a plethora of other combinations of usb chargers and ac adapters but I'm getting the same result. All these ac ports are also 2.1 and I have another usb cable from my s4 so it should work. What can I do about my chargers to fix this issue. I have a voltmeter but am not to apt on how to use it correctly. How can I see if my port is actually outputting the 2.1? If I can find this out I can deduce that it is my cables and not the ports. I will provide any further information requested.

[Problem] Battery lost quick charge capacity ?

Last night I put to charge my XT1563 with its motorola charger it dispolayed the message Turbo Charging as always. This morning phone was dead, no signs of charging or recharging whatsoever. After a while of having it connected to a "normal" charger it started again to charge, but hooking it up with turbo charger does nothing, I mean it simply ignores the fact that there is a cable hooked up. I have also noted that my computer no longer sees the phone, whereas before it always detected it and asked what to do with it.
Anybody has had the same problem? My guess is that the battery needs replacing as when I use my motorola charger on my wife phone it pops again the message "turbo charging"...
Any help is appreciated.

Switch your phone off at night and check your battery level the next morning. If the battery can keep his charge no replacement is needed and a factory reset could do the trick.
It does keep the battery level and already did 2 FR - still no turbo charge ,not recognized by PC.
Looking around for FL40 for a battery replacement but cant find one available .....
Personally, I think that a battery that doesn't charge on a certain charger, but can hold a charge once it is charged is not the principal suspect. Check the connector, the cable, the software, etc before replacing the battery.

wireless charging not working

I've seen the problem where a charger keeps saying charging has paused but this is not my issue.
I'm on my 2nd s8, the first one worked fine with my charger, the 2nd one worked fine from the start as well until one morning I woke up to a 40% charge. I thought maybe it was a fluke but the next morning it was the same. I let it charge again last night on the wireless charger and it was only at 20%.
Tonight I tried leaving it on the charger and the phone is just getting warm and isn't charging.
My charger is a Samsung charger, it's this one: Samsung Wireless Charging Pad with 2A Wall Charger w/ Warranty - Frustration Free Packaging, Black Sapphire https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BHEIIR4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_2F.azbF2T2S45
Anyone else having a problem like this or have any idea what is going on?
Edit: I think I found the problem. I had fast cable charging enabled. I don't know why this affects slow wireless charging but it does. This morning I woke up to a 100% charge after leaving the phone on the wireless charger last night with fast cable charging disabled.
