[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D0MINO:
I read this article recently about this issue and then ordered one of these to check my USB port outputs. It's weird but the USB 3.0 port on my laptop that is meant to be the one that you can set to be activated for charging stuff when the laptop is off actually has the lowest output compared to the other USB 3.0 & USB/eSATA combo 2.0 ports.

The article recommends The Practical Meter product which does the same thing as the eBay meter but apparently comes with connectors that trick devices into drawing the full 1A/5W@5v USB power. I was trying to find an alternative product (which I would not have to order from the US and be stung with import charges for) but I was not able to. If anyone knows of one please let me know.

Currently, I am charging my G3 through a USB 3.0 port with the eBay meter which states that it's drawing 0.21A/4.80V...I don't really know much about electronics so if someone could tell me if that is good or bad it would be appreciated. Lucky that I saw your post as I am reminded now that I must get a proper wall charger. ;) BTW what is the model number of ur LG charger so I can see the info about it?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qWantUS:
Hi, are these chargers genuine LG? The problem with cheap Chinese copies us that they do not include certain components by which you phone decides to use more power. Its the phone that adjusts how much power it is able to draw. For example using standart usb, which if you do you research on internet, only able to supply 500ma of power (0.5A) so the phone detects that and switches to lo power draw. Another reason sometimes for low power charge is that some cheap cables does not include full 4 cables inside??? I know! Crazy! They will not connect your phone to computer because they only have power cables inside and not data cables. Anyway try your original cable with these chargers and your original charger with your non original cables to work out what is capable of what. [emoji106]

And by the way, don't get fooled with that braiding nonsense, it's only to make it look good, but it does not define the quality. [emoji44]

I have been buying Samsung branded cables for a while now, and the all seem to do the trick, the only downside is their length - I want a long cable ant the are very short, but hey, on wireless charger it makes no difference [emoji6]

---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------

Hi, you should not incur any import charges to UK, since tax free allowance is £18 or equivalent in other currency. Also. 0.2a or 200ma is a very low charging current, it should take whole night to charge it. I think the charger does not have certain component to let the phone know that it is capable to supply more that a standard usb?. Why not to use you charger supplied with you phone?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D0MINO:
Yes I know but often the postage takes it above that and then the VAT comes. I don't know why they include the shipping charges in with the cost of the item but I've been stung in the past like that. For international postage it's $8.50 so brings it to $28.49 or about £17.23 (xe.com) which is usually a little more generous than say Paypal so it's a little risky and might go over the boundary. In any case, I notice that they have UK stockists and also in Canada & Russia...but I have just ordered the PortaPow high speed adapter which I think is basically the same thing but cheaper and more practical and allows a 1A draw for charge.

The current cables I use are a 60cm Samsung U2 data cable with my PC or with the USB wall adapter, a 1.5m generic data one I got in Spain which is extremely well built and strong with a thick cable and solid connectors but I will try the one in the box now you mention and see if that makes a difference.

Using the 1.5m cable gives - Wall: 5.32V/0.79-80A & USB: 4.78V/0.27A. - (0.46A with the other USB ports)

Using the G3 supplied cable gives - Wall: 4.80V/0.80-83A & USB: 4.71V/0.49A - so this cable is better all round and on the USB port.

Using the Samsung gives - Wall: 5.20V/0.79-8.2A & USB: 4.80V/0.21A (The other USB 2 & 3 ports: 5.04V/0.47A)

It seems the USB port I always use and that is for charging when the laptop is off is unpredictable and has something possibly defective with it as it gives 0.45-49A with the G3 cable but much lower with the rest so I will keep the Samsung one for the PC but use the other USB 3.0 port and use the 1.5m on the USB wall adapter.

Do you know how much an actual wall adapter (non USB) gives out? Will it be around the same as a wall USB adapter or much more?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big70tom:
If I put the original dat cable on the wall charger units I purchased, no problem, if I use the New cables on the original wall charger I got with the phone, I get the slow charge message, so the problem has to be the cables
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D0MINO:
Actually, I just noticed but the LG cable is giving me the charging slowly message too on the other USB 3.0 port...I just plugged it back into the older one that was giving me 0.2A and now it's giving me 0.5A and no slow charge message! WTF is going on?! lol
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x017in:
Charging from a PC irrespective of USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 will always give you a slow charge. The factory charger charges at 1.8A compared to the max of 0.5A from a PC.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big70tom:
So does anyone know of cables that allow 1.8
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x017in:
All the stock cables yu get with phones now a days allow it. Just make sure they are the originals
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpj313:
I picked this one off Amazon for the G2 and worked great, sadly not available...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big70tom:
I'm trying to get extras...maybe LG has one
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manaox2:
I guess I need to be the one that says any manufacturer's USB cable that works at all should be able to do at least 1 amp charging. USB spec is .5 amp, so that isn't surprising. Laptops that don't recognize something plugged into the port may not send the full voltage in order to save power, it depends on the manufacturer. The stock cable should easily handle 2.1 amp.

In short, the problem is much more likely to be the charging adapter or the USB port not putting out enough voltage, not the cable itself.

At least its not Apple which requires you to have iTunes installed to charge iDevices properly off of a USB port.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jah:
My HTC M8 Quick charger's USB cable seems to work fine with the LG 1.8amp charger but at least here in the UK the HTC charger is difficult to get find. So not the best answer to your query, sorry.

Have you frozen any random apps recently? When I had my Rezound I froze an app that controlled pc-phone connectivity. I have de-bloated to the max and haven't had a problem but it's a thought. Also how many usb cables have you tried. For some reason my wife's laptop won't detect my phone with the stock charger but it will with her s4 charger.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanmac61:
I dont think i froze anything recently. and i removed root to try and restore my phone. So thats lost now i guess. and i used 2 different cables that both have always worked. the only thing i haven't tried is a different pc
[P3600 General] leecotton:
Just tried playing a couple of games on my P3600 but the joypad doesn't seem to respond to 8-way controls, only 4-way. Can anyone verify if this is indeed the case? It seems pretty poor for a modern device to not be able to cope with 8-way controls?!?

Lee.
[P3600 General] Moaske:
I'm experiencing the same problem (Dutch/NL, ROM: 1.15.404.2, ExtROM: 1.15.404.101) :(
[P3600 General] leecotton:
Confirmed - only 4 way, not 8-way

Just got the following messages from HTC support:

-----

Hello Lee,

All P3600 will react the same, so it's not your device. I'm afraid that in normal utilization using 2 direction at a time is not required functionality.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

This seems like a real step backwards. How difficult or expensive would it have been to include this!?!

First black mark against the P3600.

You can try Sunshine S-Off. It's free to download and runs a 'pre-check' to see if your device can be S-Off'ed or not using the app (your device has to be running a STOCK kernel). If it's able to - you'll have to pay to get the full version $25. I did this for my HTC One M7 (AT&T) with Hboot 1.57. I wasn't able to use Firewater, Revone, etc. even after installing a ROM with an insecure kernel (the HBOOT version was the issue).

Hi Guys,

Very new with this flashing business. Anyhow. my S3 just went slow one day. and i mean slow to a crawl. everything went slow. i was wondering could it be hardware issues? even the boot screen on cyanogenmod arrow going round is not smooth. Lags. and now its stuck on the boot screen.

Stock rom was doing the same lag. i thought it was the firmware. decided to do the Custom Rom.

First i flash a CWM 6.0.4.7 non touch with the Odin 3.09. no problems.

installed Cyanogenmod CM11 with an ext sd. went well.

and now. its stuck on the boot screen. did everything that i read in the forum. pretty much stuck on this

Go to your recovery, wipe data(Factory reset) and wipe cache and dalvik cache, than install CM11 again. Maybe also try this kernel from here:

With mobiles or cell phones becoming fancier, more popular, and more expensive, they are increasingly liable to theft. Even then, many thieves are more interested in accessing your wireless service [1] and potentially, stealing your identity.

And when someone else want missing Samsung apps like SPen or the kids-mod then the following must be changed I the build.prop file, the device rebooted and then the kids-mod can be installed or many other missing apps can be found in the Galaxy store:

ro.product.model=SM-T805
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=chagallltexx

Afterward it is possible to switch back. And when you didn't make an update then here is the code:

ro.product.model=SM-P600
