[LG Optimus G (International)] Rexkh:
Hi Everyone.

I have a question about my used phone LG Optimus G E973. It charge very slowly. It always take about 6 hours for a full charge. If I use the phone, the charging percentage won't go up but go down slowly even if It is being charged.

Is it normal for this model?
[LG Optimus G (International)] krishnanmailbox1:
change the charger,.... mine too takes 6hrs on lg charger.. am using .5amp rated charger of lumia 520 .. it charges it in 2:30
[LG Optimus G (International)] Rexkh:
I don't think because of charger. I use the same charger with my iPhone and it charge very quick.
[LG Optimus G (International)] krishnanmailbox1:
its becaus of that usb cable..... try different usb cable with same charger and it charges quickly.. :good:
[LG Optimus G (International)] Rexkh:
I did, still slow. I guess it my phone. I just want to make sure that all phones of this model are the same or just me.
[LG Optimus G (International)] howaboudno:
Since the iphone has a different battery, the charger is also different.

To make sure your battery doesn't die, I suggest you use an LG charger, or at least a charger for a phone with the same amount of mAh on the battery (2100, in this case)
[LG Optimus G (International)] Rexkh:
I've been using LG Charger to charge my LG phone. It's already the same model. And you? Do you have the same model as mine?
[LG Optimus G (International)] howaboudno:
I own the E975, which is slightly different, but the specs are the same and I have not run into this problem before. So I'm guessing it's an error in either the USB-cable or the phone's battery. I'm not sure though.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Rexkh:
Too bad. So there is something wrong with my phone. Is your main power 110V or 220V? The power in my place is 110V. Sometime I get message "Slow Charging" when I connect my phone to the charger.
[LG Optimus G (International)] howaboudno:
I did a little research (I googled it) and that might just the cause of your problem. Many people have said that charging on a 110v outlet is not only slower but also less efficient. To charge your phone faster with a lower voltage oulet, they recommend to buy a charger that is specially made for that voltage, but that might not be a problem since also my charger (LG charger) supports voltages from 100V up to 240V.

"In a very layman terms, voltage is what drives the real power (amperes) into your device. So the lower your voltage as per specified rating then the lower the movement of power to your device.

However, when power moves slowly into your device, it stays longer"

I hope this gives you enough information concerning your problem :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] Rexkh:
Sound like I'm lucky to have a phone which can be charged slowly. How many percents you get if you charge your phone for 15 minutes?
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
I am sorry in advance, my comment is not directed at you personally, since you found this info online... :)

This is a complete and utter nonsense. It's not even funny, it's just dumb. First off, auto-sensing chargers will work with any AC mains within standard tolerances. 110V, 120V, 220V, 240V -- doesn't matter at all, the charger will output stabilized 5VDC, and will supply the current (Amps) up to its rated maximum. Also, saying that the voltage drives the amps is another BS. The voltage in this case doesn't change -- it stays at 5V (unless you have a crappy or defective charger, of course). Only the charging circuit in the phone determines the current that it draws from the charger.

Speaking of the OP's problem, there might be different reasons for a slow charge. All of them have already been mentioned in this thread. The easiest thing to check is to change the USB cable. Speaking from experience, I have two particular cables that consistently exhibit this issue -- it all depends on the conductors (wires) and the quality of connections. Grab another cable, and see what happens. Next step would be to change the charger for something rated higher (2A, for example). I am 99% sure either of these replacements will fix the issue. If neither of these things work, then there may be a problem with the battery, which can be replaced. The worst-case scenario is a problem with the phone itself (highly unlikely)...
[LG Optimus G (International)] howaboudno:
Guess I really shouldnt trust the internet that much, huh? Haha

But yeah that was the first thing I thought which caused the problem

Thanks for pointing out my mistakes :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
Well, explanations like those you quoted could be reasonable to some extent only if you have a really bad charger (either broken/defective, or just made like crap to begin with). :) I am talking about properly designed and functioning chargers. I have a wonderful example of a cutting-edge engineering from China sitting in my desk drawer: it's a microUSB car charger, which has direct connections from a 12VDC socket to microUSB pins, protected by a 5Amp fuse. Oh, and a cute red LED light, of course. :silly: When something like this is used, anything can happen... If a phone survives, it could be a good advertising for a phone's manufacturer: "Our phones work no matter how hard you try to kill them!" :D
[LG Optimus G (International)] Rexkh:
As I already mentioned, I think it's neither charger nor cable problem. How do I guess that? Well,

1st, I charge my iPhone with iPhone cable and "A" charger. It charge very quick so "A" charger shouldn't be a problem

2st, I charge my iPhone with iPhone cable and LG Charger. It charge very quick so LG Charger shouldn't have problem.

3rd, I charge another android phone with "A" cable and "A" charger. It charge very quick so "A" cable has no problem.

4th, I charge my LG Optimus G E973 with "A" cable with LG charger. The charge is very slow.

Therefore, I guess, none of the accessories have any problem so I think I'm the only one in the world who have this problem.
[LG Optimus G (International)] krishnanmailbox1:
your phone usb port might be a defective one :P lol
[LG Optimus G (International)] khangster1406:
My LG E975 used to charge frustratingly slow when I first bought (20 percent over 3 hours). Before taking it to warranty, I did test around to see what's the problem and found it was because of the cable. Some cables work better than the others though. I used the LG charger with the cable of my Sony phone -> still slow; with Asus tablet cable -> working normal (1 percent up every 1 - 1,5min).

Further testing, I used the "faulty" LG cable to charge my Asus tablet, and it worked fine. So (I guess) the USB port of the phone is just being picky on cables :D. Try charging with some other cables for a few minutes to see if any works for your phone.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpa4:
I'm trying to recover lost space from what I beleive is safe strap.

I rooted and installed safe strap. Loaded a rom, Jelly Beans. I'd like to return to factory with no Rom, only root (too many glitches).

I went in and deleted all rom slots except stock.

I then went into safe strap and uninstalled recovery. Safe system: Not active.

When I restart, there is no safe strap boot option any longer, good.

However, under storage options, I'm missing a lot of storage, I have 6.7 gB of miscelaneous space taken which is listed as "System memory 6.73GB, however, the files are small, 4.4mb for my largest file.

For apps I have 5.4gb which is about right since I have a few large games.

1) is the android OS part of miscellaneous files? Why else would I have 6.7gb taken and only apps of 4mb and smaller?

2) Under applications the largest file is Fire Fox at 263mb, the rest are much smaller. What accounts for all the 5 gb of apps?

3) Is there a possibility that there is still a partition somewhere?

Looking for some guidance here. I rooted and Loki'ed my gf's VZ S4 with MDK build months ago when I also had an S4, I've since moved to a Moto X and it seems there's been a lot of changes with the builds around here. She wants here phone upgraded to Kit Kat now, and I'm having a really hard time finding how to do it. I've been searching around the forums and googling it, but I can't seem to find a way to take her to stock rooted 4.4.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I apologize if the answer is obvious or has been brought up multiple times (I know how annoying that gets), but its not coming up in my searches. Any guidance would be extremely appreciated. I would be doing it on a Mac preferably, but I can get my hands on Windows if need be, so its not an issue.

Edit: Wow, I guess my brain isn't working right. Now I see 4.4 isn't out for the VZ S4 yet. Guess I'll continue my search until its released.

[G2 General] phillyman7200:
Hey guys... Been in the forums for a long while and mostly just browse and read... I have a bone stock unrooted g2 on sprint.. I really must say this is the best phone I've ever owned.. Actually got it on a whim when I bricked my HTC one... Well maybe bricked it's stuck in the stock recovery with no android version installed.. Don't ask lol..

Anyway back to the point.. I got an email today from a friend telling me the g2 is end of life?? Being replaced with s4 or s4 mini... I really would hope this isn't the end of the g2... I know the g3 is coming out and everything else but man this is to quick isn't it? I just got this phone lol... Does anyone know if this is bad or not? I've never really paid attention but the only phone I know was EOL while had it was the Motorola photon and they stopped updating it soon after... I know damn well this phone can handle any android they throw at it so what is that about??

Again thanks guys for everything.. Been here since the HTC hero lol.. Came a long way since then and man android is amazing.. Thanks for everything fellas
[G2 General] Jank4AU:
Don't worry about it. LG rarely updates a phone more than once or twice anyway. The devs at XDA will take care of us as long as they still use it. Like you said, it's got more than enough horsepower to last a while. Probably the only real killer will be when everyone goes to x64 operating systems.
[G2 General] buenarc:
This is indeed the phone to beat. Thank you very much for the information you have.
[G2 General] heleos:
I read that a carrier in Canada has put an "end of life" on the g2, and they do list s4 as an alternative. It's also known that the g3 is in the works and will be out this summer. 4.4.2 may be the last official android version for the g2.

However! There is a huge development community behind the g2, so it's likely that versions will continue well into the future, the g3 ROM will likely be ported to the g2. When the g2 does stop receiving official updates, I would root and be happy with what the devs here can cook up
[G2 General] MRobbo80:
Did not know this, should have done more research really dissapointed! Phone is going on eBay soon and cut my losses and return to the nexus line
[G2 General] Jank4AU:
How can anyone think the S4 is a superior phone to this?

[G2 General] Lockett:
Why get rid of this phone? This phone is arguably a step above the Nexus line so far. We have plenty of AOSP options to choose from and now that we have official Kit Kat we will surely have plenty of new/more stable options.
[G2 General] phillyman7200:
Well I for one will not get rid of the g2..i really do just like this phone haha... I have managed to keep the phone stock this long and may keep it stock til the day comes they stop supporting it... Then yes i will root and keep it alive.. Even as a back up.. I just hate to see it go officially.. Can anyone else see 5.0 running fine on this phone cause I for one believe it will.. Sounds good don't it.. G2 5.0..lol hopefully one day
[G2 General] slayer3032:
All this means is that LG is going to stop producing the phone in favor of a newer model. Samsung makes their phones for years beyond their relevant lifespan and you can still find ancient Galaxy phones like the S2 on the shelves. The S3 is still the absolute go-to phone for any free contract, prepaid or non-contract deals. LG is a much smaller manufacturer and doesn't have the deals and agreements like Samsung does to pimp out their phones.

The Galaxy S4 is not going anywhere, it's going to stick around just as long as any of the Galaxy S flagships if not longer. The LG G2 will just be EoL as far as the carrier is concerned. So if you're a Bell customer, I'd recommend to get familiar with modifying your phone because Bell is likely not to push you any future updates.
[G2 General] Jank4AU:
Not sure what you mean by deals because the G2 was free much sooner than the S3. The OG and G2 both saw rapid price drops.
[G2 General] slayer3032:
When I got my G2, the S3 was being peddled by every single carrier and given out like candy. You are/were able to pick up the S3 on almost any shelf as a prepaid device and if you signed into any deal that had free phones you got a S3. Samsung is still most likely making the S3, "emerging markets"(I assume) and every prepaid company basically relies on that phone. LG has none of those deals really and you'll never find a G2 in a plastic package hanging on a shelf at Walmart. Within 6 months, you'll most likely see the S4 in those packages.

This just says that LG is going to stop production of the G2 most likely because the G3 is coming out. LG doesn't have the market or ability to continue to sell their old flagship phone for years on end. They probably didn't have a huge profit margin on it since they can't sell and pump out millions upon millions of the phone. Thus since sales are tapering off and people are going for the new M8/S5 they're focusing on moving forward.

This could also just simply mean Bell is going to stop selling it since it's not selling well for them.
[G2 General] Cst79:
It's probably only LG's fault, not the carriers. If LG stopped making the G2 and started the G3 (due to limited manufacturing capacity), the carriers can't get any more stock so they list it as End Of Life. Meanwhile, the S4 is still being manufactured (even the S3 4G is still manufactured) so that's why they list it as alternative.
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
Can you buy a Nexus 4 today, and Google i think has 18 month update policy, so next version might be the last for Nexus 4 too. Fact is in today's tech world, you have a new flagship every 6 months, that does not necessarily mean you have to upgrade every 6 months.

Even if 4.5 is launched by end of this year, 95% of apps will still work on 4.4 and our phone is more then capable to handle them. So sit back and enjoy mate, until you wanna get suck in number wars and not care about the experience :D
[G2 General] WarlokkLLE:
I wouldn't let the EOL tag scare anybody away from this beast of a phone. Thanks to the awesome XDA forums, rooting, and a new battery; I made my old Droid Eris last for 2+ years and still going strong before getting a different phone. And the Droid Eris was EOL like 3 hours after I bought it haha

Those having problems probably have a WiFi connection with instability. A person can have 50 mbps but if the quality is below 70 percent then your WiFi calling will be horrible. Dodd doesn't matter. Efficiency does. I've been through this. Trust me.

I'm not sure how this would be the case as my SG3 wifi calling sounds clear with no issues, while my M8 call quality is horrible, always breaks into static and does the stuttering/repeating issue constantly. None of which happens on my SG3

I also have huge issue with dropped calls on WiFi and losing wifi calling while still connected to my router, SMS/MMS not sending while on the device... etc. Honestly the phone is not useable on WiFi calling, it is way to unreliable.

Also for some reason my phone likes to just drop T-Mobile signal when I'm connected to WiFi, which is very annoying.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] treIII:
It's probably a problem with the phone and the router. The one m8 has AC WiFi and trust me it's the best. Your older sgs3 has the older WiFi so maybe it's more compatible with your router. This of course is just a hypothesis. My WiFi connection has greatly improved with the use of the HTC one m8.
