My problem is that connecting it to the laptop by the supplied USB wire it does not get recognised, no matter how many time I installed the LG drivers. It says not charging or connect your charger, although I can check the phone status and see that the charge has increased.
One solution that works for me is to charge it from the power adapter instead of trying to charge it by connecting to the laptop. I also switch it off when I'm charging.

I found that there may be a mod/ROM by Gellmar and crazybyte to address these issues. just search for sdmerge in the L3, L5, L7 android development thread.

XDA 2 Say Always Charging

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8348&highlight=always+charging
I have a same problem before. But im update my device rom to 1.72.00 (Imate Rom) (Before my device have a 1.72.00 T-Mobile Rom) that problem is gone until my charge going %15. After that not blinkin Orange light is coming (thats normal for charge is about 10-15% but) also Setting > Power say charging and My XDA think its charging. Im not plug in my device anywhere (Cradle, Power Charge, USB Sync) but its always thing charging and charge is faster dropping to zero.
I dont understand anythig about that. After that i plug in my USB sync in my notebook and recharge it. After my battery full (100%) im unplug the sync cable from my device and nothing change. Its still say charging
After this i decided (i dont know why i think about that. please dont ask ) i plug in USB sync cable and plug out on my PC (Cable still plugged in on my XDA 2) and device gone normal. And unplug sync cable from my device. Orange light is gone and Settings > Power say Battery Mode.
Is there anythig wrong that. I think this is totaly software error bu i dont know.
Thank you for your advice.
My case was different. No matter what I did, the device ALWAYS thought it was in charging mode. I sent it to the repair centre twice and the device gone back to the problem again after a while. They said the connector pin has been in short circuit and so it thought it was charging. They also accused me of damaging it. I asked them why it would be so when I use it normally, the staff said 'Machine is like that, nobody can gurantee'. I was angry and sent several rude mails to O2. Upon some negotiation, they changed a completely brand new model to me and the problem did not happen anymore. I have used this new one for several months in exactly the same way I did with the old one and nothing untoward happen. That proved the old one was not damaged by me!
Sorry for being long-winded and yet could not solve your problem.
Anyone can help?
My device still have a that problem.
Im looking lights now and its some time say charging and some times not.
Please help
Thank you
always charging
i still have same problem :!:
anyone? help?
omg, this is exactly what my problem is. My XDAII always thinks that it is charging even though it is not plugged to the charger nor the usb sync cradle. And the amber LED light is steadily lighted like when you are charging, battery life of the XDA has dramatically gone down, it wont last me 3 hours or so and yet it is still on standby mode. I had reflashed it with the latest ROm available, 2.06WWE i think, and still after that, after the cold reboot, the problem was still there. Anyone has a better solution to that? Im planning on returning my unit for servicing if the problem cant be solved.
i have same problem , help me now
This will be less likely to happen when using usb cable rather than cradle. If you get a magifying glass you may be able to see the short on the pins and possibly nudge it back into position with a very thin sewing needle or similar.
up
i have exactly this problem too (
I´ve the same problem since yesterday with my T-Mobile MDA², it´s Rom Version: 1.72.01GER (6 months in use without problems), Rom Date 03/16/04, Radio 1.17.00, Protocol 1337.28, ExtRom 1.72.170
The yellow light is always on and the batterie runs very fast out of energy (1-2 hours) and it´s always says charging and think it´s connected to AC power...

Mine also having the same problem. I went to authorised Samsung service centre. First they changed the USB charging cable but it didn't solved the problem. Then i went again and this time they replaced the battery which solved the problem. This is the link of my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663458
Thanks buddy, i hope there is another solution than changing the battery
Any other opinions
I think USB charging cable
i just made my phone to run out of juice and i charged it up to 100%, it takes 2h and 15 minutes ( Phone was off while charging )
i think it's normal, isn't ?
Yes absolutely normal!

Yes that's the Time it takes when Charging at 1800maH.
There are many free applications that can measure the maH of your charge...

Phone refuses to charge(software bug most probably )

So anyone facing an issue like where when I connect the charger, phone wouldn't start charging? It just stays idle as if nothing happned. Then I gotta use it somewhat so the battery percentage drops atleast a percent or two and then when I plug it, it starts charging like normal. Its happened second time today, I thought it was just a weird bug the first time it happend 2 days ago. But now I am worried since it has recurred.
PS - charger and socket are fine I checked them.
Any help would be appreciated thanks
