[Q] lg g2 slow charging n fast battery draining - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello!!
i recently bought lg g2 D802 16gb n upgraded it to lollipop 5.0.2(v30d-vdf-com) but i m having problem with the battery life ..my father got lg g2 (vs980) and it gives around 6 hours of screen on time (running on jelly beans) but my g2 gives less than 4 n a half hour SOT ..plus it takes 2.30 hours to charge fully even more sometimes...lollipop was supposed to improve these things but its quite disappointing :/ is there anything i can do to make it back on track except factory resting
is there any chance the battery could be fake or not working properly?
any help would be appreciated thanks

I have the same exact problem

so did u find any solution yet?

I have the same pb too..
It's anormal!
To be at 100% => 7 hours of charging.. AMAZING xD
I didn't find any solutions...
I hope dorimanx make a new kernel
With the application AMPERE I'm at 150 mA max.. i change the cable but doesn't work anymore..
Please, help us.

Couple questions:
1. Did you guys buy your phones new or refurbished/used?
2. How did the battery work on Kit Kat or JB?
Based on these 2 questions we'll know if the battery has been replaced with a fake or if the battery is old and needs to be replaced.
Good thing is the battery is inexpensive (10-15.00) and is easy to replace for a novice/beginner

Are you using original cable and original charger? My G2 used to charge slow on Lollipop too, but I wasnt using original cable. But on the other hand, with same cable it was charging good on KitKat, lol.
With original charger and cable it charge as fast as on KitKat.

It's my own G2. Was a new when I bought it.
And I use all the charger and cable from LG..

Mine is same with everything original.

So ? Any solutions ?

I had the same issue.
Do a total wipe including a dalvik cache . Now i have 5+hrs screen on

All the wipes ?
Internal storage too ?
Because I change the rom nothing is better!
And to recharge my G2 is 9hours... xD

I have had the same charging problem with my LG G2 D802 16gb phone from Hong Kong.
I bought it brand new and it always took around 7 hours or so to charge. When checking the charge rate via the system menu or 3rd party apps, it's always charging below 500mAH instead of the max 1600mAH it should charge at (when the phone is switched on).
Even changing ROMS or changing cables/chargers has not fixed the problem. I suspect some phones are just 'faulty' and do not charge quickly.
My wife has the D802T edition (from Australia) and that charges fine.
Unfortunately i dont have a solution to your problem but i can confirm that the problem persists throughout:
* kitkat, jellybean, lollipop
* stock cable/charger
* aftermarket 2A charger
* aftermarket copper core high quality USB cable
* 2A powerbank charging
* switching phone on or off (still charges at same/similar rate)
oh this might be unrelated, but my LG G2 is the RED one... which i think is somewhat rare compared to the black or white colours...

Maybe, but before I was on speed charge.. Strange

Buy a new battery,
Went from 7h screen on time to 2.5.
Also my battery started swelling which is what will probably start happening to yours as well.

Anyone having this problem needs to factory reset their phone. This fixes it.

Battery not charging above 70%

Hi guys i was using S2U2 2.33 but one day my battery just drained to 0% in a second from 100%
Now its 2 days and still my battery does not charges above 70% and it discharges very fast i have uninstalled S2U2 but still the problem is there!!
I m using NFS FAN V 17 ROM could someone guide me? or do i have to buy a new battery
Will the re-installing of ROM to it will be fine!

If your battery is bad and you try to re-flash, you will brick your device (since it will probably stop flashing about half way through - happened to me with my Wizard). Your best bet is to get a new battery... they are rather cheap either on eBay or Amazon...
From your message, everything points to a bad battery...
Good luck!
Thanks for replying
Hey
what do u think the probable problem due to which the battery got BAD?
i am using it from 1.5 years and this problem occured after that BATTERY DRAIN while i was using S2U2 2.33!
so what would be the problem as i mostly have to charge my battery from 60% twice a day so charging many times would be a problem
What do u suggest due to my big usage? Should i buy a extended BATTERY
But i want to tell u that i will take a extended battery if it fits only in the original case i dont want to buy a new case
So tell me the best option to get it also could u send me a link to buy it
it would be great thanks in advance!!!!

It could be that the battery just died on the spot... I don't believe (or at least have never heard of such an issue, let alone related to S2U2. The fact that you've had this for 1.5 years suggests that you bought it used, which means that the battery might be much older than that.
An extended battery will not fit with the original back cover. I believe that there was one (1500 mAh, I think), that it is supposed to fit, but I am not sure.
Just buy a stock battery and you will be in good shape.
hey i took a new battery still the problem occurs
It twice charged till 100% now does not charge above 70%
Same problem here
I am using Blackstone with official ROM. Its a new one. Less than one week old. Its battery is not getting charge more than 55%. Why so? I kept it on charger for one FULL night. But still its not charging above 55%. Please give me a solution for that.

Don't double post. Also, you are in the wrong section. This is for Vogue (HTC Touch and not Touch HD). You should head over to the Blackstone section and see if someone can help there.

It probably has nothing to do, but what is the output of the charger that you are using? Also, 70% is enough (specially if it is a new battery) to flash a rom. Flash the device to something else and see if that solves the problem.
hey thanks for replying
I got the charger which i go from TELUS & by the way i took the phone new from TELUS and its now 1.5 yrs i took a new battery as u said but still the problem occurs my new battery charged to 100% twice but now it does not chage above 70%
charger is having rating output- 5V - 1A
if u say to change the ROM then which u prefer

Anything really, even flash the same one you have if you want to. Just make sure that your battery is charged as much as possible. If I am correct (and I think I am), it is a problem with the battery meter in WM, and flashing will tell WM that whatever your battery level is at that point will represent 100%. Give it a go and remember to back up your stuff before doing this. Good luck!
did the same but i think the problem is wid charger
coz the battery charges with the USB connected with computer
but the orange light comes when connected with charger but battery does not charge
but if the problem is wid charger then i dont think that the battery should charge in mobile off condition???

Try a different charger then. The battery will not charge if the device is off.

T-Mobile HD2 takes too long to recharge the battery

Hello folks, I am very concerned with my HTC HD2 as it takes like over 4 hours to fully recharge the battery. I have got this HD2 from the market here on XDA and it works very good overall, except for this problem when recharging it. I thought it was the charger and I have tried many usb to wall chargers even the the iPhone's 4 one, but nothing has changed.
I have also tried several roms and kernels but nothing has changed on this side as well. I wiped everything and put back win mobile 6.5 T-mobile stock rom, but hey, no difference here too..
I am wondering if there might be something wrong with the phone itself or can it be the battery going in holiday???....
How can I figure this out???
I have downloaded Battery Doctor from the market and it says the battery is in good health, and I get up to 14 hours with a full charge with mytouch 4G rom and kernel rafpigna 1.7 cpu 1.3Ghz OC.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem ??? do you guys have any suggests ???
This problem is driving me really crazy...

How many hours does your battery last???
Are you using the original HD2 charger? I have tried many different chargers and they always charge at a different rate. It has to be that, not the battery.

Unfortunately it came with its original charger broken and I have never had the pleasure to try with it.. Anyways I am using a charger that has the same specs of the original one, which is the usb charger of the iPhone 4, and yea same result ...
I have downloaded currentwidget from the market and it gets less than 200mA of current in, when it usually should get around 400mA, sometimes the value goes down to 200mA as well, which makes me really wonder the problem might be the usb port of the phone .
Does a broken battery does that as well??

I think it has to do with the charger you're using . When I charge mine I usually see anything from 500+mA to 700+mA on my battery monitor widget depending on how much charge the battery has, and like Segnale007 said it usually takes about 2 hrs to fully charge.

I can't say it's the battery cause you say it lasts you 14 hours, usb port? maybe. Your battery is good for it to last that much (on averge usage of course). It's the different charger that you're using.

The charger I am using its the iphone 4 charger and just like the original one its a 100-240V ~ 0.2A 50-60HZ , which I have no idea about what it means, but I can guarantee u its the same ..

That's your issue there, 0.2A (aka 200mA).
The UK HD2 charger for example, is 1A (aka 1000mA).
To work out the maximum time it should take to charge the battery:
(capacity x inefficiency factor) / charging current
(1230 x 1.15)/200 = 7 hours
(1230 x 1.15)/1000 = 1.4 hours

Oh gosh, so ur basically telling me its the charger I am using what is ****ing up with the slow charging ???
Can you please point me at a good one???
I am totally ignorant about electricity and stuff like that ...
That charger only delievers 0.2 A which is 200ma , you need at least a 500ma charger, mine is a 1 A ( 1000 ma ) and its quite normal to see a 700 ma rate while charging..

Take a look on ebay or any local phone shop/online phone accessory shop.
You want a micro usb charger that has an output current of at least 500mA/0.5A
The original HTC ones are 1000mA.
Blackberry ones I've seen are 700mA so they're good enough.
200mA isn't a problem, it won't damage your battery, in fact it will live slightly longer as it's being put under less stress when charging, but don't use your phone while you're charging with it as you'll be drawing more current than the charger can supply.
So for instance, if you wanted a car charger so you could use the phone as a satnav and talk via bluetooth, you'd need a 1A charger to cope with the drain on the battery.

With very, very light use about 55 hrs. That's not extended.
Alright, my dad has managed to temporary fix its original charger and I can confirm there's nothing wrong with the battery and the phone itself. It gets beyond 800mA with the original charger and fully recharge the batter within an hour and half, which is great..
Ok now I have to find a compatible USB to wall charger with the same frequency.
Since its a T-Mobile US HD2 its original charger is american, and since I am in Italy I'd get an Italian standard wall charger. Does the Italian HD2 original wall charger has the same frequency of the american one??
Thanks

Hello friend, whenever you plug your device in USB port or a less powerful charger, it will show as slow charging. Use a 1.8A, 2.0A or more output charger to charge your phone.

Kitkat 4.4.2 no problem 1610 mah
Just lollipop problem
Hi,
I have the exact same problem. I recently upgraded my LG G2 (EU version - Dutch) from KitKat to Lollipop (5.0.2).
My car charger and wall charger (both 2.1A) were able to charge my G2 in a fast way under KitKat.
But now under Lollipop, these chargers have become useless (they charge very very slow).
My battery is draining while using GPS and media streaming in my car with car charger attached (whereas with KitKat everything worked fine, and my battery gained extra power...)
Only the official LG OEM charger can charge my phone fast.
How can I fix this? Somehow LG verifies if the official charger is attached, and otherwise he limits the charging?
I hope you guys can help me out?
Thx in advance!
Possibly a temperature issue

Few days ago i was exactly in your shoes. I came from a custom rom (cloudy g2 2.2 with dorimanx kernel ) to the stock lollipop 5.0.2 . While being on the lollipop rom the device could not hold a charging rate above the 350-400 mah. Through some testing i found out that device needs to be below a certain temperature (for me at least, it was around 60 degrees celsius ) in order to charge at a 1600 mah rate.
I have tested some stuff during the weekend, but in my case, it isn’t temperature related. Even when the battery temp is low, the 2.1A charger still charfes very slow, while the OEM chargers goes full speed. So battery temp doesn’t affect my charging speeds.
Even during the hot summer days, my car charger was able to charge quickly while using KitKat.

Nothing that was posted on this thread is correct, lg's lollipop kernel is horrible and only slow charges. Thats why Dorimanx when build his kernel had to add a feature that allows fast charging.

I read somewhere that from the lollipop version of android and onwards , a certain " code " has been implemented in the stock kernel (and as result every stock based kernel out there) , that checks whether or not the original charger is being used or not. Might be false, might be true ? who knows? i only have the original charge so i cannot test it out. On the other hand, many custom kernel developers including Dorimanx as @Eminemiero says do actually have a workaround implemented on their kernels to give the possibility to achieve full charging rate even on 3rd party chargers

same issue.
try dorimanx latest kernel. If you are not a fan of custom kernels, then just install it and dont touch nothing on its settings
Try Llama sweet kernel.
Install synapse from play store.
Install UKM zip from recovery . find in main kernel thread.
Open synapse go to misc . enable fast charge . set it to 1200 Mah . you are done
Don't forget to nandroid backup before.
I'm a n00b when it comes to flashing custom roms, custom kernels etc (never did it before).
What is the easiest way for me to achieve the fast charging back on my LG G2 device with the other chargers?
Maybe some step by step instructions?
Can you use an alternative kernel on the original LG stock rom? I'm happy with the stock rom, except for the charging issue i'm facing...
many thanks!!

Charging Issues

Okay.
So like 2 months back, all was very well, my OP2 charged in around 1.5-2 hours. I was using the official OnePlus Charger and OnePlus Type C cable. After like a week the Type C cable stopped charging so i bought a new Type C cable, which worked great and charged my fone quickly. At that time, I used to check the charging with the Ampere App, and it showed normally 1100 mah charging.
Gradually over time, the charging speed started to slow down and then it came to the point when my phone was charging in 4-5 hours. So i again changed the wire, but no use as its the same i.e slow charging. (Checked with Ampere it is constantly showing 500-600 mah)
Since the wire is new and the OnePlus adapter is charging my phone, i do not suspect that the OP charger is at fault.
I am currently on Resurrection Remix 7.8.2. ( But this is also happening when i flashed OOS)
Plus a meagre 2.5 hours Screen On Time and yester overnight it drained 44% in 6 hours.
I have no idea whats going on.
ANY SUGESSTIONS AS TO WHAT I SHOULD DO?
Make sure you're using a good cable. Not some cheap knockoff.
Yeah. Dnt wry. The cable is of good quality and not a knockoff.. any other suggesstions?

Maybe its your battery then
It's all one plus work.
I can confirm this as well. Phone started taking excess charging times. Around 6 hours for 80%. This cannot be a battery issue. Battery degrades linearly. It's surely scam by the scum company one plus providing a time bomb style update to make old one plus 2 unusable. So many reports of op2 slow charging. Same issue reported in a previous post. He also mentioned that turning off phone and charging takes usual 1-2 hours time. Check if that's the case with you as well.

I haven't tried yet changing the ROM but as per other users changing kernel and roms doesn't matter. It will still be slow like hell. The strange part is this all started in may for all. Too fishy to be a coincidence.

I am getting good charging times.

One Plus 2 battery drain

Hello,
I am using One Plus 2 for a few years already. Lately I started suffering because of battery drain and long time charging. Problem is quite serious because while charging and using phone battery % is getting down. It takes whole night to charge it to 100% and in the midday I have 20% left.
I tried to use different chargers and cables. Didn't help.
Today I changed battery to new one. Didn't help.
Wiped out unofficial rom, installed official stock one. No addtional apps installed. Didn't help.
I am charging it with charge monitor app and while on AC charging I get very unstable charging graph. I need to turn off screen and leave phone untouched to charge it.

Where else to look for a reason?
Usually LTE connection drain the battery. Try disable it and try for few hours.
I tried to charge it with airplane mode. Didn't help neither.
Hi
Did you resolve your issue? I have same situation but I think that happened after when I do update Oxygen, now charger my battery is really slow and drain battery really quick. I can just leave, not touched my OP2 for all day and the battery after 8hrs got 30%. I buy original battery and still nothing change for better.

Hi
Have you tried to change the charging cable. I had the same issue and changed the charging cable. It worked for me.

Another problem is with a cable because original cables for OP2 can't buy anywhere right now, the company OnePlus has stopped production this cable for this device so I buy original cable Dash Charger from site oneplus.net
Three possibilities (at least):
* The charger is not working
* The cable is not working
* The battery is failing
Solutions for the first two are more obvious than the last one. Pick up a new or working used charger/cable. But the battery is a little dicier. And frankly, it is also more likely the cause for this than a bad cable or charger (esp. charger). But re the battery... No direct sales from Oneplus are available except via an official Oneplus repair job, which requires you sending your phone to them and them replacing the battery. Obnoxious, eh?!
The unofficial route? This is frowned on by many here, but not me. Buy a cheap ebay battery for the oneplus 2. Look for one that at least promises the battery's power matches the phone's specs. I bought one for $12 from an American seller (because I wanted a bit more accountability if it didn't work). They do work. They also take a while to start reporting their voltages and charges correctly, and must be charged / discharged completely a few times before things start getting accurate.
That's no official answer... just one guy's experience. Hope it helps.
