I used to run a 1.5' usb cable from monoprice and the GPS on my phone would discharge the battery faster than it could be charged. Now the phone charges so much faster.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mittenman:
I have yet to have a problem with any of the generic monoprice cables and wall charges I bought a couple years ago. Only time I get a slow charge notification is using my 1a car charger. My Optimus G and HTC One X chargers and cable work fine as well.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
IT IS NOT THE CHARGER!!

It is something in the cable. And good luck finding one. If you use the included USB cable that came with the G2, then it will charge on ANY charger "normally" (fast charge). If you use ANY OTHER cable, it will slow charge.

I don't know what is in the cable or why it makes a difference, but none of my USB cords/chargers work unless I use the INCLUDED USB CABLE.

I had a thread on this already somewhere in the General Area I think. It REALLY sucks because I have TONS of chargers and cables. I have some at work, home office, bedside, 2 in my car, friends cars, etc. I DO use Wireless Charging at night and luckily the phone has a huge battery to last through the day.

There IS a problem here but my thread got ignored like, "I don't see a problem here, just use the included cable". Well yea if I stayed home all the time. My work makes me travel for work so I have to make sure I remove the 1 working cable and carry it with me EVERYWHERE. What a pain in the butt.

Has anyone tried on custom roms to see if perhaps it is something just on the stock software telling it to go Slo-Mo.

My Verizon non usb attachment cable charges fast. My OEM Spectrum cable does as well. My dual one amp car charger charges slow no matter the cable, and my works Motorola and Kyocera cable charges slow no matter the connection. I have a couple Samsung's I need to test. I do not own any generics. I have not tried other combos.

LG Spectrum cable does not work, slow charge, my fault.

However, the straight plug from my new Verizon car charger does work, the USB port also (ONLY with G2 cable so far[tested lg spectrum, Motorola, Samsung, and Kyocera. Older cables]).

Recap: So far ONLY Direct car charger or USB G2 cable has fast charged. Must be chipped or using some different wire combo?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vween:
Ok. I can confirm that the cable used for the Nexus 7 (2012) works.

Also, the original cable for the Samsung Skyrocket works.

Works meaning fast charge.

I can't gurantee that this is the cable, but my skyrocket cable does look like the top cable here:

http://www.ebay.com/bhp/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-usb-cable

(Charger looks like it too, but the charget won't fast charge G2)

Edit:

The Skyrocket was really picky about cables/chargers. If it didn't have the correct one, it would wakelock. Maybe there's something with the way it's wired that makes it good for the G2 as well.

I wonder if one of these would help:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004YX4HDU...UTF8&colid=30QBEX6L12GNN&coliid=IG0PDK7SARZGV

It's something to do with pins 2&3 being bridged that enables a cable to support fast charge.

That adapter linked above is supposed to do that.

Has anyone tried any of these.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crashN2u:
Yeah, I'm not so sure about that. It may be the software in the phone that is causing the issue. I had to replace my car charger so I picked up a rocketfish 3.0 amp charger. When I originally used it, it was ridiculously fast, literally 30% in about 30 or so minutes.

Now, here's why I don't think it has anything to do with the charger cables. When I got my phone, I kept putting off doing the first update because I wasn't sure if I was going to root this phone. During this time, I got very good charging speeds from my rocketfish 3.0 amp car charger and many of my other rapid chargers. When I decided I wasn't going to root, I went ahead and downloaded the update. Now, unless I'm using the cable that came with the phone, I get the slow charging message with every single charger. I went from 30% in 30 to about 10% in 30 on my car charger.

I may need to pull out my tinfoil hat, but it would be a pretty huge coincidence that all my charging woes began with that update.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Yea something isn't right. I have a GNex, G2, Nexus 7 2012 and 2013. I always check for AC charging in Settings>Status. It will say AC or USB. When I got my Nexus 7s I replaced all of my chargers with fast chargers. For 2 years I've been fast charging. I got 3 different fast USB chargers on my desk, using the existing setup, Everything fast charges except the G2. If I use the included G2 cable, it will fast charge off all of them. The same with ALL of my home/office/car/travel chargers.

I can only get it to fast charge when I use the included USB cable.

Its something magical with that cable.

I haven't even unwrapped the charging base and usb cable that came with my G2, they still remain in the box. I have been using the charging bases from my Nexus 4, L9, Htc One X, Motorola Atrix and a GS3 through out my house and have mixed cables from god only knows where and all of them work. I get no slow charging from any combination. Even using mini usb cables with micro usb adapters attached and they all still work. I've checked all the output voltages and the lowest one is 800mA. Granted my D801 is rooted, but no custom rom as of yet.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Have you gotten an OTA update?

I'm on the Verizon model. The other guy here said he only started having problems after the Verizon OTA.

-sent from my LG G2 using XDA Premium 4
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crashN2u:
Here's my theory,

There are chips either in the battery, the transformer, or both. When the phone doesn't detect what's required, it gives a slow charge message and reduces the charge speed. I have had previous phones with batteries that had built in chips that I had to buy because the generic batteries without the chips wouldn't work as well. I haven't taken a good look at the battery, and the transformer seems abnormally large, when I get a chance and some spares, I'll probably take them apart.

My tinfoil hat is telling me that LG is trying to rope us into buying first-party accessories, but it may also be a way to regulate battery health. Having a non-removable battery, it may be a move by LG to extend the life of the battery as long as possible.

Also, I just rooted my phone and so far no change. I will try the car charger tomorrow.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MkV05:
No updates from Tmobile as of yet... I can only imagine the frustration though. You would think LG would have made charging the phone, regardless of the model more standard across the board.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steamer86:
800mA is a slow charge... You should average 1700mA. Our cable is five pinned (if that matters). I need grab the mA reader app again. Now we know there is kernel check for flux ect. I want to know if the cable is pre chipped as well for check and regulation, isn't too uncommon. I'm beginning to lean more on an over aggressive kernel check though or possibly a combo of kernel and certain chip model check. I just find it odd my straight Verizon car charger and only this cable is working for me. Gonna check car cable pins in the morning. Verizon here, OTA taken. Did not check before.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
I understand and LG has done stupid carp like this in the past. My G2x they flipped the headphone pins so you couldn't use handset control equipped headphone (skip, prev, play/pause). You had to use the LG ones which sucked and cost $49.99.

I have a Samsung's Galaxy Tab 7 that only uses Samsung approved devices and I ended up buying a little male-female USB plug that adds a RESISTOR to regulate voltage and tell the Samsung to accept more power. I won't be able to test that till this weekend.

But it doesn't explain why it will charge with Charger A and Cable A, but slow charge with Charger A and Cable B.

I have dozens of USB to MicroUSB and none seem to work. I think it might be a Verizon OTA thing. That would be fixed with a custom Rom.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steamer86:
Unless the cable itself is chipped also... and Verizon happens to include that chip in the car charger...The ends are quite big compared to most I use. I'm pushing 1607mA atm according to battery monitor widget. Why the software would be so finicky with this single cable is quite odd. The window on regulating must be tiny. REPEAT: The new Verizon car charger with straight wire and touch light does indeed fast charge. I'm not using the USB cable, but the straight wire.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crashN2u:
Yeah, I was comparing the tips and noticed that the LG cable has a longer tip. I wonder if it has to do with the extra set of pins inside the phone's usb port. I know the G2 is a usb 3.0 phone, so I'm assuming those pins are for some new type of cable yet to be released, but what if contact with them, whether they're actually used or not, sets the phone from charge to slow charge?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vween:
Seriously? You're not able to fast charge your LG G2 with the Nexus 7 charger/cable? Works perfectly for me.

I do have the AT&T G2, though.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steamer86:
Can you pull a mA reading? Battery monitor widget, among other apps can display it. This could be a Verizon thing. Not sure if hardware or software, we kinda are the only models with wireless charging as well.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crashN2u:
That's another thing that crossed my mind.

I also am using a Verizon model. OTA taken, stock rom, but rooted. And yes I am also unable to get any combination of chargers and cables to fast charge, except for the LG ones.

Did Verizon screw us AGAIN!?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Well it worked before the OTA from what I heard. Some are reporting fast charging was broke with the OTA. The Verizon guy updated mine to the OTA update in the store, so I couldn't test before and after.

If the OTA broke it, then perhaps a custom rom will fix it. It could also be a kernel update also. I don't plan on flashing anything for a while but perhaps someone can test stock vs custom stuff.

Good thought.

==TWO QUESTIONS FOR EVERYONE ==

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Katmeat:
I'm on Verizon OTA and get the slow charge message on anything other than stock cable, but on a good quality replacement cable from Monoprice, the phone charges just as fast, but the phone still reads slow charge.

New Verizon car charger, straight wire, 5 pin, touch light.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Yea so it is something to do with the damn cable.

Fortunately I do the Wireless Charging at night using my Samsung brand charging pad and it doesn't complain. The battery lasts super super long. I made several calls yesterday that were a few hours a piece and using it for WiFi scanning, surfing, chatting, emailing, etc... and I had tons of battery left when I passed out at midnight.

So luckily the battery is huge and doesn't require periodic charges throughout the day.

You should slow charge your phone at night anyway. Leave the fast charging for the car or office.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steamer86:
The only thing the fast charge will do that's detrimental to the battery is create more heat. A deep discharge past 5% would be more detrimental to battery life,unless you are overheating it. Also, this is not the G2 cable in mA reading pic. So I would all but assume we need a specific cable. The fast charge cuts and trickles at 100, so no overheating, (mine doesn't get hot at all during charge) nor detrimental in any way. A slow charge on these type of batteries makes 0 difference.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tripster:
I'm on AT&T stock ROM and when I use the cable that came with my Galaxy SII, I noticed slower charging times (3+ hours) but no slow charge notification. So it's relatively fast, but not as fast as with the supplied cable (1.25 hours to 100% from 5%).
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Musicmaster:
My dad's Verizon Galaxy S4 USB cable/charger doesn't show slow charge.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
I've continued to travel and try new combos. I've never found any working cable other then the included LG cable.

I've tried tons of VZW branded cables and still nothing. I don't know what's up with that cable that's so special.

I've even tried my Samsung Galaxy 7 tab adapter that tricks a fast charge... but still no good.

Granted every cable will charge your device, but don't plan on using it for 7 hours. I took a 4 hour drive. Made tons of calls. When I got home, it still about the same battery %. It only really charges when screen off and no running apps.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechSilver13:
I have used crappy USB cables from rocketfish and my wife's s4 cable and never had an issue as long as I use the G2 brick or my 2.4amp fast charge brick from best buy.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steamer86:
Find a 5 pinned USB 3.0 capable cable and try. According to LG the brick and cable utilize USB 3.0 tech for the fast charge. The warning will not pop after around 800mA. This does not mean it's fast charging [MENTION=2427426]1800[/MENTION]mA. I have yet to see over 1800mA. Not sure if that's the coded limit.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
It's definitely not the bricks. All of my bricks will fast charge WITH the LG cable.

A USB 3.0 is probably the culprit. Seems like only Verizon is complaining about it.

I know a standard USB 2.0 cable will provide more then enough juice to put it over 800mAh, but the phone still complains about it.

From my experience, if it doesn't detect the right cable, it limits charging to 500mAh.

I have SM-P605 (LTE version) running on BMJ9 (also tried few others before it) but the only thing I do seem to resolve and iritate me is the amount of time it takes to come whenever I pick it up. It is the same whether I use the home or the power button.

I'm trying this Wake Lock app set to "partial wake lock". It keeps the CPU active. I'm guessing the battery drain that it causes won't be worth the saved seconds of my life, but so far it appears to help wake-up time because it won't let it go into deep-sleep. My Note was sitting here for 10 minutes. It unlocked in 0.6 seconds with the home button, equaling its best time. I let it sit here again with the case closed for about 10 minutes. I opened the case and it clocked 0.9 sec, which equals its best time as well for the magnetic trigger. I'll monitor how much battery this thing eats up and report back.

I was also checking out this Wake Lock Detector app, pretty cool. It shows Google+ had 6804 wake-locks for a total of 3m 20s, lol. What the heck Google+, calm down buddy.

Wake Lock keeps it fast and doesn't use a terrible amount of battery, around 1% per hour. It might be saving 0.5% an hour though by avoiding having to wake out of deep sleep and go back in from normal wake lock activity. I am going to keep using it and see how it pans out.
