[LG V20 Questions & Answers] i am oblivion:
My LG V20 [h918] began charging unreliably about the 10th-14th day after arrival in late June of this year. I only use the original cable and adapter provided to charge, directly into the wall outlet and while not being used and screen is off. Yet, it seems to be charging slower than my old devices that didn't have QuickCharge technology do and definitely not anywhere near as fast as my SG s7e on QuickCharge still does. I have to power it off to get a halfway acceptable charge time whether from 50% to full or down in the critical zone of 30% and under (which I have been doing more than I like to with the V20 as the battery life is disappointing at best and downright abysmal when out and about where I have to turn my screen brightness up past 50%, using Bluetooth, no wifi, on 4GLTE data and intermittently turning the screen on/off for switching songs, Google Maps tasks and other short duration, activity specific tasks I may need to during these journeys before returning the screen to it's resting status and into my pocket as I continue rocking out and walking to and fro to my desired destination at any given time and place) I generally charge up to 100% prior to venturing out into the great big scary world, carry a fully-charged replacement OEM battery I immediately ordered after receiving my V20 and my charging adapter/cable just in case it isn't practical to swap batteries for some reason and wait for the ridiculously long just under 5-minute boot-up process accompanying any and all battery swappings vs. powering down to charge up at a reasonable speed then rebooting device, which I find myself doing at least once or twice every day on average, something I'm growing much more dissatisfied with doing by the day, compounded by random lag issues, occasional Bluetooth connectivity problems, spotty Wi-Fi [I'm attributing this to the Qualcomm SnapDragon 820 chipset included in the V20 AND my S7E which also exhibits similar symptoms affecting the overall performance of these phones while on or trying to connect to Wi-Fi networks both at home and around the area where I travel and have remarkably stable 4G data signal reception and fairly good to excellent up/down speeds using T-Mobile Family Plan with 6GB data per month - thankfully I stored up 20GB of rollover 4G data quite quickly to use via Data Stash otherwise I'd be stuck in 2G data hell by the 3rd week each month due to being unable to use Wi-Fi as frequently and efficiently as I should be able to, at home especially but seriously - I can't wait to move onto something with at least a QC SD 821 or 835 chipset if not an altogether non-Qualcomm manufactured set-up entirely [Apple, Huawei both seem to produce compelling alternatives for consideration].

Yesterday it went from 68% to 94% in the time it took my S7 Edge to charge from 22% to a full 100% while both were powered on but display was asleep and charging with OEM cable/adapter using Fast Charging mode directly plugged into the wall outlet. Absolutely unacceptable. And ridiculous. My Asus Zenfone 2 outperformed these BOTH after rooting and optimization, modding, flashing new EVERYTHING under the sun. Neither of these phones have even been rooted. Maybe THAT'S my problem with the V20. I have no real reason NOT to root it. It has TWRP. Still on the h91810j build. Maybe this is the first step in making this device realize it's full potential? And one more thing - I heard that LG ships an inferior charging cable with this and most of their other products, one that doesn't fully utilize the QuickCharge 3.0+ functionality of the V20...any truth to this claim that owners of the LG V20 are aware of? Or more interweb speculations and misinformations? ??? This problem is really crippling an otherwise excellent device and I'd like to figure out what, if anything, can be done to remedy this situation as quickly as humanly possible. Before I accidentally throw it in a lag induced rage frenzy episode, quite unnecessarily I still have good reason to believe at this time...Words. I use them to excess. Effectively and excessively. :fingers-crossed:
