I plugged in my phone last night at 2:30 AM and woke up this morning at 8:00 AM to find that my phone was only at 82% and charging. I have the Battery app (Macropinch) and it detected that the source was USB. I swapped for my Samsung charger and the app detected AC as the source. Every time I switch back to the LG charger, it only detects USB.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
I've seen it discussed here before but it looks like you have a bad charger.

I've noticed this too. Sometimes mine goes from USB to AC to Not Charging.
Oh boy
Okay, so it looks like I will be calling Google support tomorrow concerning the charger and the hissing noise from the speaker. I hope they will be helpful. Wish me luck.
Funny thing just happened. For the first time mine also did this. Unplugged and replugged it in to fix...

not true that depends on pins in USB plug.
But anyway, mine charges super slow, especially last 8-5% which can take about an hour to fill, both of my N4 did that so must be a bug. ohh and also:

There is definitely bug with battery stats as this happens to me quite often (unicorns maybe ???)
OK I realized that mine charges as "USB" when the charging wire is not fully inserted into the wall plug. Works every time. While charging slowly pull the charger out and it will change from "AC" to "USB". Let me know if that helps anyone else.

Same problem here on stock 4.2, AOSP, 4.2.1 OTA update. Also had my phone charge from 15 to 100% in less than a second the first day of use.
Flashed the full 4.2.1 images today, including userdata + recovery, and haven't observed the behaviour again....yet. Has only been 5-6 hours, but that's much longer than it usually takes to appear.
Submitted a report the other day: http://code.google.com/p/android/is...4"&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
Edit: feel free to reply and attach your pic in the issue tracker
This is terrible. It says the same thing for me. It showed "USB" for most of the night last night, then finally after some reboots this morning, it switched to AC. I am using the stock LG charger and i'm pretty sure it's plugged into the wall just fine =/
So I have some updates. I was using this USB extension to charge my phone (since the outlet is far from where I usually sit in my room). http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030304&p_id=8608&seq=1&format=2
So I plug this extension into the wall charger, then I plug the stock charger USB wire into the extension and then plug into my phone. The phone shows charging as "USB" when doing this.
If I skip the extension cord and charge the phone as intended straight through the stock charger and wire, it shows charging as AC.
Makes no sense to me that an extension wire can make it read as USB charging.....
There's a couple of pins that need to be shorted for it to detect it as ac. You could mod the longer cord to short those pins and see what happens.

faulty lg charger.
OK this is what i have tried, i unplugged replug the LG original charger with original USB cable, from different outlets around my home, nothing change still says USB it may change for a second to AC but then it goes back to USB, then i try a different USB cable with the original LG charger, and nothing change absolutely the same, then i try a different charger non LG with the original LG USB cable, and walla now its charging like a speedy Ferrari.:good:
so yeah it looks like a faulty LG charger.
i will report back if something changes.
EDIT: have you guys notice if your original LG USB cable has five silver pins? i can only see 4 on mine.

Yup! When I use my LG charger but use an extension for the USB cable (I bought off monoprice.com), it gets tuck at 73% and won't charge more. It says its "USB" as well.
I wake up and its at 73% with the words "charging" and "not charging" bouncing back and forth repeatedly.

Heh that's pretty bad.. My only problem has been battery drain while running GPS and Pandora simultaneously in the car. The phone is capable of pulling more than 700mA when you utilize all of the hardware, so there is no way to keep a net positive charge current. Also when the battery gets too hot (above 45°C, I believe), the phone will stop charging to prevent the battery from exploding

I use the cheap long cables from Monoprice.. or the stock cable, or whatever I have laying around. I throw out the cables when they get flaky -- but my problem wasn't related to the cable like OP's was.

I had the same problem charging in car. if using usb to charge it charges at 300mah but a/c charges at 600mah. so if you are using usb and have an extra cable you can short the green and white wires(going to phone) and this will trick it into thinking its on a/c. have not had any problems since doing this. i can go on a 6 hour drive with gps and music streaming and still arive fully charged.
I would like to see pictures if you have some.
I've seen this symptom with a bad flash. Something was using a ton of charge. More than my charger could put out. Hence, battery drain when plugged in.

i do not have pictures. i use heat shrink on my wires so i cant take apart to get any but if i can find another cable i will modify it and take some. it is a simple modification. just carefully cut the black casing from around wires(anywhere along cable, remove about 2 inches) without cutting wires inside. you should have 4 wires(black ground, red 5v+, white data -, green data +) cut the white and green wires then splice them together(the ends going to phone) seal it back up and your good to go. this is just simulating plugging into your a/c adapter. all the adapter is doing is converting a/c to 5v d/c and shorting data wires to tell phone its plugged into wall. usb is already running at 5v d/c so you just have to provide your own way of shorting data. you can ohm out your cable if you like to verify. 4 pins on conector 2 center ones are for data. they are open until you plug into a/c adapter at which point you will get short.
The cable did the same thing on my girlfriend's phone, too. Phone thinks it's charging, therefor no deep sleep, and it just discharges. It may be the cable/charger combo, thogh, but I KNOW the cable is certainly fault; I tried it with other chargers.

I actually had the charger port on my phone stop working, but Android still showed it was charging. I tried multiple combinations of cords and chargers, only to take it into Sprint for a replacement.
When it first started, it only seemed to happen on certain cords and in certain positions, but eventually, it stopped charging altogether.

Hmm, this seems to be happening to my girlfriend's HTC Evo. Did you have the Sprint insurance? And was the phone still under warranty?
My samsung cable failed within the 1st month. Its really the worst cable ever made on this planet.
I have used my new Nexus4 on the road with google navigation. I was surprised to find out that the 1Amp samsung charger I have used with my SGS2 was not able to maintain the charge of the phone. After couple of hours of driving my Nexus 4 died ( I didn't start with full battery)
What is your experience? I would expect the phone not only to work whilst on cable for the whole time, but also to eventually charge the phone fully.
Now I am not sure if it is my charger or nexus 4.
I had a look on mains charger and the output is 1.2Amp, is this the problem, that the car charger is not powerful enough?
I currently use CAD300UBE, which is the official i9300 car charger, with a rated output of 700mA.
When streaming over bluetooth using Spotify, and using Google Navigation I can say that this charger does charge the phone.
My old S2 charger, also genuine did not manage to charge my S3, hence the replacement.
Phil
My recollection is that Nexus devices are looking for pins 2 and 3 (data) of the charger to be shorted. If they are not, you'll only get 500ma from the supply.
Turn the screen of when not needed in navigation,
I use a kensington 2A flush cigarette lighter so it isn't an issue, the charger is <$15, and it makes life easier when I want to charge my ipad. Only thing I regret about the charger is that I didn't get the dual port version.
I posted this in the GN forum about a year ago when the same sort of problems were coming up there. You need a 2A charger and a data only cable to make you charge like you are on a wall charger. (Charging AC - Check this by going to Settings > Battery, the top shows charging AC.
bmolloy said:
There was another thread, I think in the General that discussed all of this, what people came up with was the best combination if you want a dual port usb charger is to make sure you have a "charging only" USB cable. This cable will not make your phone think it is connected to a computer. You can tweek a data/charging cable to work but some people messed that up so it is probably worth just spending the $4 on a cable that works.
Here is my combination that works great. With this set up I can have on my navigation going with the screen on the whole time and stream Pandora over Bluetooth into my car and the battery still charges really quickly.

Charging Only USB cable:

So I did some experiments, found out charge speed have A LOT to do with the quality of cables! Going to share the result with you guys.
here are the tests
1. First is "Note 2 LTE stock charger + Note 2 LTE stock USB cable"

1.8A, not bad!
2. "The new power bank(ProMini 8000) + The USB cable came with the package"
1A...meh
3. "ProMini 8000 + Note 2 LTE stock usb cable"
WOAH!! 1.5A, lower than the stock charger but really not that bad!
4. "Note 2 LTE stock charger +My old Galaxy Note 1 stock USB cable"
1A, So what material is the Note 2 USB cable made of? Uranium? Even Note 1 stock USB cable can't compete
5. "Note 2 LTE stock charger + some home depot generic micro-USB to USB cable"
0.6A Well, you get what you pay for..
Honestly, I didn't expect USB cable quality make this much of a difference.
I guess the Note 2 USB cable used some higher gauge wires?
Anyway I am going out to get some more Note 2 stock cable tomorrow, for the power bank and maybe other computers.

I don't think it has anything to do with cable.
Try this,
1. Plug the adapter to power socket,
2. Plug the usb cable to adapter,
3. Open battery setting in your device (note 1 or 2). Before plugging the usb to your phone it should show unplugged
4. Plug the usb cable to device. It should show either AC or USB plugged.
5. UNPLUG and plug the cable until you get what you want, AC (fast) or USB (slow) charging.
I would say that our device keep it balanced between fast and slow charging to extend battery life.
Give it a try and tell me what happen.

Remove the charger when it indicates its fully charged and/or the LED is green.
It is definitely not 3 hours.
I get from zero to full in 100 minutes.Give or take a minute. Every Time. It charges 1 percent per 1 minute.
I havent used the stock charger yet (using one from a note 2 currently), but I'm getting full charge in about 1.5hours.
Definitely not 3.
After upgrade to KK, my G2 charging time take more than 3 hours from zero to 100%.
And i'm using original charger and usb cable for G2.
Any solution ??

Try a different cable.

I have the same issue. It take almost more than 3 hours. This happen after Kitkat update.
My phone charges with the original LG Travel Adapter for bit less than 2 hours from about 10 to 100% and I'm also using Kitkat.
My g2 with original charger and last original kitkat go 0 to 100% in 2h with phone on.
Charge time comes down to 3 things.
Total battery, current if charge and efficiently if the device/cable charging it.

Do you use the cable with the original LG Charger ?
The LG Charger is 1,8A output.
The commons chargers and USB on computers are 1A output.
SO if you plug in your cable to a computer or other charger, it's normal.

from the D802, but really just try another cable to the charger if it makes any difference.
Hmmm, that is definitely different than what I believe to be the cable that came with my G2. Not sure how to tell what version of us, but it's Verizon.
But yes I have tried many combinations of cables with the LG charger and none of them are fast charging. Using CurrentWidget and a couple other battery monitoring apps, I've also found that I get a much higher amperage draw from the charger that came with my galaxy s3. Anywhere from 200mA - 400mA, whereas I only get 50mA-150mA with the cable in this pic and the 1.8mA LG charger. But still all of then state that they are Slow Charging.
Can someone tell me if this is the stock LG USB cable?
Does it matter if we use the fat g2 USB vs regular one like above picture?

For example a chromecast USB cable which I accidentally got, did not charge my phone almost at all and not DATA connection was possible. But that was a clear error and I do not think that cable should be used with anything but with the Chromecast being nicely shielded and all.
ASUS in my country uses same cables as the one pictured above (Still does not mean that his is not original LG). But if you get a normal connection on the computer same goes for AC , USB charging in places where they should be, use whatever cables you want.
Stay away rather from too generic, skinny unbranded ones from chinese pages. (Even though from them I always buy iPhone cables . BUt who would pay 15 bucks instead of 1 and they served my wife well)
So far ASUS, HTC, Samsung , LG, and Nokia cables did there job mixing across my devices.
Verizon stock cable.

Thank you JasonSF!!!
I apparently lost mine then.. Does anyone where you can buy a cable that supports the fast charge? Or even what spec to look for?
It doesn't seem like its a very exact science..

Pagot - YEESS! I acutally used my Chromecast USB cable (which I'll be returned on Monday btw cause, well its just not that cool) ALL NIGHT LONG!!! I didn't think anything of it plugged it in and immediately walked away. Little did I realize, it was one of those cables that, 5 seconds after plugging in, reports that you should unplug it immediately to avoid damaging the phone!!!
I didn't see the message until the next morning and saw that my phone didn't get charged that night. And for about 2 days, I had VERY strange charging issues.. (see this post) I think they've gone away now, except that my fast charge isn't working.. But, back to the original purpose of this post, Im hoping that is USB cable related..
Anyway, it was the wierdest this, for about 2 days, certain chargers and USB cables that have always worked on this phone, didn't. The first day nothing but plugging into my computer would register any charge.. By that night most chargers worked but some wouldn't provide more than 50mA, and now, all of them seem to be working again..
SOOO, moral of the story is that in incorrect USB cable CAN damage your phone! At least temporarily.. Still doesn't make any sense to me how though.. Perhaps some protect feature kicked in and caused the symptoms I saw, but all I know is that my phone wouldn't charge anymore after using that Chromecast cable...

There is a thread in the G2 Accessories forum discussing compatible cables.
