[Q] Phone saying "Charging USB" when plugged to wall. Charging slow.

I have a little problem with charging my Nexus 4. When using the LG charger and LG USB-microUSB cord (both came in the box with the phone), the phone says "Charging USB" when it is plugged in the wall, making the phone charge very, very slow.
This happened yesterday for the first time. I had only 10% battery left and I plugged it in the wall charger. In about 1 hour it went from 10 to 13%. I took a look in a battery app and the app showed me that the phone was the entire hour in "Charging USB" mode when it was plugged in the wall charger.
At about 11 pm yesterday, I plugged the phone back to the wall charger and this morning at 6 am I took a look in the battery app. It took the phone about 5 hours to charge from 6 to 100% (also, it stayed in "Charging USB" mode all the time).
Did a little research and found some forums that said to try with another charger. I have another charger from my old Huawei G300 and tried with that. Here are the results:
1. Huawei charger with LG cord - Charging AC
2. LG charger with Huawei cord - Charging AC
3. Huawei charger with Huawei cord - Charging AC.
Looks like only when I use LG charger and LG cord I have this problem. The rest of the cases the phone says "Charging AC" and charges fast as usual.
I have the stock 4.4.2 factory image since it came out and the phone is rooted (if any of this is important even if I don't think it should. The phone worked like normal until yesterday.)
Anyone has any clues or pieces of advice?
Thanks for your time!
I get that also. If you use a custom kernel that had fast charge built in it, it will charger at normal speed

Right now I'm using LG charger + Huawei cord and it works just fine. I don't really now what the problem is. It's like the LG charger and cord suddenly started to hate each other, lol.
I too had this problem, I used HTC charger and worked fine, I tried lg nexus4 charger it said "USB charging" but removing and re incerting into socket two three times ...I got "AC charging" finally!!

In my case, using LG charger + LG cable is the problem. It first shows Charging AC for 3-4 secs and then goes to Charging USB and stays like this. It is very weird. And it is more weird that those two things won't function together anymore but if they are combined with other, they work like they should.
Also, it seems like this is not an isolated case. More and more people reply to my posts saying they have the same problem (this is not the only place I posted this).
Anyway, thanks for all your answers. If someone manages to understand why this is happening, please let me know. I'm very curious.
And sorry if my english isn't that great. It is not my native language. I hope I make myself clear.

Problems with Charging With Marshmallow Update

I have had the phone for a few days now. I have tried 3 different charging bricks as well as a new Samsung charging cable. No matter what I do, I only get "charing USB" and using the ampere app, it never hits about 4volts on charging and says "normal" as charging state. I'm using a galaxy s6 fast charger and tried 2 cables and 3 bricks and still just "normal" mode. Any help pls?

Can you please confine your charging related questions to a single thread? I would like to answer then but keep finding new threads???

Charging moto mods

I have the speaker mod for my Moto z force. The mod charges along with my phone when I use my OEM charger that ticks turbo mode. I tried to charge both my phone and mod from a regular charger that didn't tick turbo mod and only my phone charged. My Moto mod didn't charge at all even when my phone got to 100%. Anyone else experience this or is it just me
That has been reported by people on another forum. Some have been able to charge the mod with a charger that did turbocharge the phone but wasn't the Motorola charger.

Faster charging using USB TypeA

Hello XDA members,
I would like to ask you if you know a if it is possible to charge my Nexus 6P with the usage of my USB 3.0 OTG Cable and a Male-to-Male classic USB 2.0 Cable ...
At the moment my phone is charging with 0.2A maximum, even with a 2A wall charger ...
The only working charger is my classic Nexus 6P TypeC-TypeC ..
Have a nice day,
George.
I don't know about the first part of your question regarding the OTG cable, but can say that any compliant USB-A cable is limited to 2.4A in the absolute best of conditions. You may find an answer in the Accessories sub-forum where most of the charger and cable discussions are.
When you say your phone is charging at 0.2A using a 2A wall charger, that may be normal. Are you measuring the input current when the battery is completely dead, or closer to full? The phone itself limits the charging current by it's built-in charging profile, so it will only accept full charging from 0-40% then taper off to zero as it approaches being fully charged. See the 6P charging graph. Even with the stock USB-C to USB-C 3A charger, you're only getting less than 0.2A amp during the last 10% of charging. Not only that, but the phone keeps accepting even less current for almost an hour past 100%.
Here's a solution for my problem, first let me you clear the problem/ my case:
I want to use my Nexus 6P as a Android desktop computer.
I already found a way to charge and use multiple USB devices (using a USB hub)
for more info check out General Section I have posted a guide so you can do it too.
I also bought a chromecast because sadly we cannot use HDMI, there is no DisplayPort on our Nexus 6P.
Everything were working perfectly except the fact that my phone was discharging, while actually charging with a 2.0A USB 2.0 wall charger.
Here is the solution:
FInd a way to power up a 16V case fan (those fans that are a inside your desktop case) and make a stand for your phone, COOL YOUR SNAPDRAGON BABY!
Phone is still charging slowly, while the temperature is at 24Celsius stabilised!
Have a nice day,
Have fun with this it is suuuper cool gadget-like creation if you consider doing it too,
George.

Wireless charging, stops at 80%

Has anyone had the issues I'm facing? I have a non Samsung wireless fast charger (QI) and previously all worked perfectly and would charge up to 100% in a pretty short time. Recently though the phone has been stopping charging at around 80-81% every time.
It's not that it doesn't have enough time to charge as I'm leaving it overnight and every morning it's at this amount.
It appears to have been since the most recent OTA. Is anyone else facing this issue?
Unless you are using the official charger, the wireless fast charge will be limited to 80 percent. Use a standard charging wall wart, not the supplied fast charge wall wart for the wireless charging platform. It will obviously take longer, but will charge to 100 percent. Samsung does not want you using wireless fast charge without their charging platform.
Using Convertible Wireless Charger from Samsung Stuck at 84%
My case is worst. I am using the new convertible wireless charger from Samsung and it stuck at 84% 2 days in a row now. Any idea how to fix this?
