Happened to my charger because it would always be seating on it and stuff. Just been using the usb charger instead.
Just test with the usb one to see if it is the wall charger's problem.

Go to settings, Battery and see if it says AC charging or USB charging. Plug your phone in, try to play some games for a few mins then go back into the battery and see if its in AC or USB charging and if it has charged of discharged. Basically if the phone is in USB charging it is possible for it to lose charge or not charge at all. I had the same problem with my phone as it would not do AC charging, I tried it with another charger and it worked fine for a few weeks, I called google and they said it was a problem with the battery (not the charger) and they set up an RMA.

Does this phone expend more energy to keep up with charging? When mine is charging and I'm using it, it slowly decreases. Is this normal?

Mine too, I find it very strange. However, when I use 2amp car charger, then its all good lol. 1.2amp of stock charger must be not good enough
The phone only draws about 800mA maximum, so a 1.2A charger is more than enough, and a 2A charger will make no difference.

So why is it discharging when its being used and plugged in?

Sounds like there might be something wrong with your charger. Try a different charger if you have one.
Sent from my Nexus 4
Well, its not only me, I've seen bunch of people having the same thing. Lots of defective chargers or perhaps custom roms play role in it?
At times when I leave my phone for charging overnight it stops at a particular percentage and starts discharging. In certain cases with the original charger the phone at times continuously flips between charging and discharging.

I has a similar question about voltages and amperage of chargers and battery degradation posted it here on xda in the nexus 4 forum has to do with this issue of voltages and amps and wireless charging with the official one from google

I had the same problem with mine! Stock charger is GARBAGE! Use something else!
Doesn't anything discharge when no electricity is pumping through the battery? The electricity cuts off when its full. So basically I think the power from the charger bypasses the battery but continues through the phone.
Is anyone else having problems charging their S4? I was using a 5V/1A car charger while on a trip and the phone was actually losing power faster than it was charging. I did have Waze open and was playing music using local files with Google Play, but my S3 was able to handle that fine and still charge in the car.
Additionally, I left it plugged in overnight for 6+ hours using the AC plug that came with the phone and it didn't charge up all the way.
Is there something wrong with my phone?

I had the same problem in my car. I had a cheap car charger that was lower amperage than the standard wall charger. This phone is designed to charge with a 5V 2Amp charger. Your screen draws more power than your s3 so 1amp might be it's burn rate with screen on, GPS, music, etc.
I got a 2amp car charger from thinkgeek that works brilliantly. It was a little pricey. Amazon has one for 6 bucks. I highly recommend buying a coiled micro USB cable so it is more manageable.

Should be as safe as using the stock charger. Even if it was a lot more powerful than the stock charger it would still be fine because the phone itself is what regulates how much power to send the battery.
I have both the Pogo and micro usb charger for my n10 but the Pogo still doesn't charge it fast enough....I mean im reading and its losing a charge! So if I plugged in the Pogo and the micro usb will they both charge at the same time?? or will it ruin it??
If that wont work how am supposed to keep it from dieing like this all the time??

No they will not both charge at the same time. Software in the ROM detects when the microUSB is charging and cuts off the pogo from charging at the same time. One other thing is if you are using an OTG connected device while a pogo plug is attached, it will look like you're charging (battery notification icon). Unfortunately that is a bogus indicator for the same reason you cannot concurrently charge from the micro USB and the pogo plug.
Are you using the original power adapter? My tab won't drain even when playing NFS:MW... Also if you are using a usb extention, that has cause people some problems... You should have no problem charging while using the tablet if you are using the pogo charger with the original adapter...
I'll try what is your brightness settings??

Full brightness... Oh and I am undervolted a considerable amount... I probably should have added that, forgot... But before I started UVing it still charge while playing games(albeit very slowly) when on half brightness... But only if I was using the Pogo charger... You should have zero problems charging with pogo when you are just reading and surfing on full brightness..
As long as you are using the supplied power adapter and no USB extention... If you need more length use an extention cord from the wall to the adapter, you can get one very cheap from any thrift store...
Thanks! On low brightness I found that it would charge while I was watching movies and playing some graphic intense games.

Glad to help
Can anyone help me understand why any other charger I use on my G2 charges very slowly (and tells me so)? I will get a wireless charger soon and keep the regular one in my work bag, but just trying to understand why anything but the one that came with the phone is such a dog even when it is plugged into the wall. thanks
The G2 charger outputs at a rate of 5v at 1.8amps. any charger that has a lower amp out will charger the phone at a slower rate and bring up the slow charge warning on the phone.

And you need a USB 3.0 cable with a charger having 1.8+ amp output. I tried using my ASUS tablet charger which has an output of 2amps and it still says slow charging. I also bought an aftermarket USB 2.0 cable and used the OEM LG charger and it will show slow charging also.

Have you compared charging times between this and the OEM? The description seems to make it s match.
