Has anyone managed to fast charge their LG G2 when using a slimport for HDMI out? I am using a confirmed fast charge USB cable, but it still slow charges when used with the slimport Analogix SP1003. I am thinking it's either my ROM (Stock 10a), or the slimport just won't allow fast charging on the LG G2?

Have the same one. It will not fast charge. The slimport was not built to accompany fast charge as far as I can tell. Even with the stock g2 charger and cable. Be careful tho. The slimport can and will cause your stock cable usb connector to go wonky the more you use it. Ive replaced mine once already and the second one is going after a month. Use a throw away usb charging cable to plug the slimport in. Just advice, so take it as you will.
Update - Fast Charge now working.
I can confirm that the LG G2 will now fast charge via the slimport with Dorimanx kernel 3.0. Link to the thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2614400. I tested this earlier and it was charging at over 900mA at times. Charge was increasing by 1% every few minutes.

Wondering if anyone notice how slow it charges when it is connected to thru PC using USB (using original USB cable)?
I know it was not charging very fast when it was on 4.2.2, but 4.3 it is really slooooooooow...My N7 is pure stock 4.3 and so does its kernel.

placebo?
were you using usb fastcharge on 4.2.2?
Unfortunately I am having similar problem with my nexus 7 after OTA 4.3; it charges so slow even though I plug charger in and try to use it while its chaging, device turns itself off saying please charge battery. How can it turn off when its already on the charger?

Has anybody heard of a kernel that fixes this? I love everything about 4.3 except that it charges sooooooo sloooooowwww!
I plugged mine in 5hrs ago @ 30% and it is up to 85% now... Ridiculous! This is using the original Asus charger.
Connected through PC only gives you about .5 amp charging rate. The stock charger gives 2 amps. If you aren't using the factory USB cable then most likely it is current limited and not applying full power while charging. If you are using the complete factory setup then whatever you are doing is causing the battery to drain faster than even a 2 amp charger can supply.
Sent from my Nexus 7(2012) that has zero issues.
I had an HTC Thunderbolt before I got the LG G2, so I had tons of $5 USB micro cables and wall/car chargers sitting around. Well apparently none of those cables are compatible with the G2 and when using the USB cable that came with the G2 with the car chargers I have(the $5 ones from Frys) it only "slow charges".
If I get some cheap cables/chargers from Frys or Amazon, how can I know in advance if it is compatible to allow the standard charging capabilities of the G2?
Thanks,
Craig
I'm getting the G2 in a couple of weeks and I have the generic T-Mobile car charger. I can only hope it works because it's the only one they sell.
eta-On the T-Mobile site it says it's compatible. I guess I will find out soon enough.

How much Current does your car carger supply? Most car chargers are around 0.5A. I think the G2 needs something like 2A in order not not "Slow Charge". The G2 has a fast charging rate.

I'm pretty sure it's a .5A.
BUT what about the cables? it wouldn't even work at all with any other cable besides the one that came with the G2.

It should be 5 volts, 2 amps.
From the AnandTech review:
The G2 can negotiate a 2A charge rate on my downstream charge port controller and charges very fast in that mode. Of course the PM8941 PMIC also includes some new features that Qualcomm has given QuickCharge 2.0 branding.

You should also be safe with chargers rated above 2A, as long as they are 5V. The device will only pull as many amps as it needs.

I think that only applies to Verizon phones. I think they do something to make other chargers not compatible. I have had that issue with different phones throughout time and everytime it was always a Verizon phone. Never have I had that problem with any other carriers phones. I could be wrong but Verizon always does extra things to their phones to be a pain in the ass so its not impossible.
european open has this, too, no org htc or logitech or samsung cable is willing to give its juice through, or better, lg ignores it

Actually, I have the Verizon G2 and can attest that NONE of the gazillion USB cables I've had for various purposes over the years (including my Galaxy S3 and S4) will allow for the Fast Charge feature to work with this phone. They only support the slow charge, which pulls only about .5A of current, even if using a 2A charger... Further, I have several cables that dont allow ANY charge whatsoever. They charge my S3 fine (also Verizon), but when looking at battery monitoring apps, they only show as USB connected, but still are discharging..
I'm actually trying to find where I can buy a USB cable that will support Fast charge as I lost my original one... Any one know?

The BlackBerry q10 charger and the nexus 4 usb cable combo is what I use. They charge the phone just as fast, if not faster,than the stock g2 ones.
The only time I get the slow charge notification is when I use my pc to charge the phone.
LG G2

Who is your carrier?
The Verizon model detects anything other then a USB 3.0 charger and forces a slow charge (500mah).
Only the Verizon does this. Only the included cable works. Its not the bricks but the CABLE. We are discussing this in detail in another thread.

Have Fast Charge Working
I have the Verizon version of the LG G2. I have found a couple of ways that it will fast charge. I have been able to use a Nexus 7 charger and USB cable. Also found a car charger that will fast charge: GT Max USB car charger that has both a 2A and 1A USB ports. But it will only fast charge with the heavier USB cables. With the lighter cables (USB sync cables) it will slow charge.
Also found an app called CurrentWidget that will show the battery charge rate. This has been very helpful in determining the right combination.
My N7 charger works but only when using the stock cable. In fact, fast charge (ie normal charge) only works with the stock cable. I have not found another cable that fast charges.
My car has the data pins shorted and will fast charge, but actually doesn't charge at all. A 2 hour drive and my battery was actually lower while on the charger. Goofy.

Can you use a regular micro usb charger in place of a 3.0 cable?
Thank you for the help
Yes, no problem. In fact with my S5 there is only a usb 2 cable supplied.

Yup, you sure can.
Just an FYI: The USB3 cable is in fact micro USB as well. It's just the USB3 version of microUSB. The USB3 port on the phone is backward compatible, so a USB2 cable will work just fine in there. :good:
Yep it will work

So which will charge quicker the stock charger or my nexus 7 charger?
I think they are both 2 amp chargers. What is the advantage of the extra plug on the charger?

It's USB 3.0. You'll get faster data transfer speeds when plugged into a USB 3.0 port on a computer.

faster data transfer rate.
OK thanks.
So the charging rate is the same depending on the "block" amps?
I think the USB 3.0 charges faster even if it's still the same 2A charger

It would seem so, yes. In re: max charging amps, it seems that the S5, much like the Note 3, will charge only at 1200mA while the screen is on and 1800mA otherwise. See discussion here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...48184-galaxy-note-3-max-charging-current.html
To the OP, thanks for starting the thread... I hadn't even realized that the new Micro USB 3.0 connector actually was backwards compatible with the older MicroUSB 2.0 for charging!
Great link thanks!
Yep Confirmed!
I have the D802 16gb running kit Kat 20F and can't get it to fast charge even with stock LG charger and cable.
Have also tried using a Sony power bank that delivers 2A charge coupled with a short 3" Sony usb cable.
Measuring charge rate using battery monitor widget and hidden menu.
Any ideas?
My wife's G2 32gb charges fine with the same charging hardware. Hers however is an Australian model.
I have tried flashing. 3 variants of kit Kat without luck.

i've the same problem.. new phone of my girlfriend, and it take 7 hours for full recharge.. i don't know now what's the problem.. maybe kernel?
Does flashing the kdz not also flash the kernel?
I've also tried factory reset too and no luck.
Might try going back to jelly bean
I just got the Verizon LG G6 and have been testing out the charging. I can't get it to charge about 800Ma using any chargers. Yes, I have quick charge 3.0 capable charger and cable that I've used on other devices and gotten 1500+. Could my G6 be defective or do others have such paltry charging?

QC works only with your display off.
Even without QC, my previous phone, a Galaxy Note 3 would get 1200-1500 Ma as measured through Ampere. The G6 is getting 500-800.
Yeah, this thing is going back. 3:14 to fully charge (screen off the entire time) using a proven working QC 3.0 charger.
What is “QC 3.0 proven working charger“?

"Proven" as in I've used this charger on several QC 3.0 capable devices without problem.
I tried another one and the same thing. At best, this phone has been getting about 1/2% per minute charging no matter what charger I've used. It has a GPS issue as well. I've already begun the return process. Just waiting on my new phone, a LG V30.
