Help! Lg G2 wont charge or hook up to computer - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Forum,
I have a problem with my G2. It has been a great phone for a couple of years and then one day, I get the "non compatible phone charger" message and it wont charge. I verified the charger works by plugging in another phone. When I hooked it up to my computer, I get USB not recognized. Verizon suggested doing a factory reset, which I did and it didnt change the problem. The next step was to change the charging port board, and it still didnt fix the problem. Anybody got any ideas?
Thank you in advance.

Won't Charge

Hey all, I'm a vogue user myself, but my little brother has a mogul and has a problem with that mogul....
Recently, it just will not charge, and wont recognize being plugged into a usb port. i have tried a few things but...im not really sure what i can try. we have tried resetting, hard resetting, and sticking it in the b/l but with no success...any ideas anyone?
any help would be greatly appreciated, thx.
ps. the charging LED never comes on either...but the led does/will work. we have tried plugging into ac as well as usb, both with nothing. the b/l does not recognize being plugged into usb.
sorry if this has been posted about before, i ran a few quick searches but...came up empty.
he also says that he has not recently dropped it or gotten it wet or anything of the kind. there is nothing stuck/jammed into the port and the pins look to be fine under a crappy magnifying glass....?
thx.

Battery charging and connection problem, any ideas?

Hello,
I have strange problem, since today I cannot charge my HD while its being on, when I plug in usb charger nothing happens, i tried charging through PC usb port, and nothing happens.
I cannot even establish connection with a pc, don't get 3 choice menu (active sync, hdd, and nothing) on HD when usb is plugged in.
I suspected that the usb port is defected, but when the unit is switched off, it's charging even though there is no amber led on.
It has original rom and radio in it...
Did anybody had similar problem? The phone is under warranty, should I send it for repair?
Thanks in advance.
Very weird. I would definately advise you to send it in for repair. I haven't heard of anything like this before :O.
Good luck!

Hi, I got the exactly same issue as you described today. Have you got it fixed?
Looking forward to your response.
Thanks,
This has already been discussed:
Battery Not Charging
1.Hard Reset after backing up data.
2.Check if SPL/ROM mismatch - if U flashed a custom ROM or SPL.
3.Short circuiting pins in battery compartment of HD after disconnecting of power/USB and removing battery. (Don't short the battery - it may explode).
Try the solutions, if it doesn't work then go for warranty.
Too many ppl seem to have this problem and no one uses search

I did search it before and got 8-9 pages of results. I tried all the approaches but none could fix it. This guy described the exactly the same symptom I have so I really wanted to know how he ended up doing with the issue before I sent it off for warranty.
The problem right now is really on the USB connection, even in the boot loader mode, it couldn't recognize the USB but it could do it just one day before.
Thanks for your reply. I appreciate if you could have some new ideas for me to try.

Have you tried updating your USB drivers?
Have you tried different usb cables?
Some of my usb cables no longer works. I believe my mini usb connector have become slightly looser and I have experienced a cable will charge the phone but won't come up with any options.
Wotth a shot.
The USB driver seems ok since I used the USB connection to flash ROMs and SPLs the day before without any problem.
As for the cables, I tried 5 or 6 total including the stock one but it didn't help.
As stated before, the only time the phone is charging is when I turn it off completely and it charges fairly quickly. However, the bottom (close to the USB end) part of the phone is very hot during the charge. If I turn it on or put it in standby mode, there is no charge or ActiveSync activity.
I have a similar problem.. My phone charges when I plug it in. But I am not presented with any options and ActiveSync doesn´t recognise the device..
same problem here
I am in the same situation. I flashed back the stock ROM, but with no USB, I am unable to put 6.5 back on....any advice is appreciated.
I sent the bad phone (Telstra T8285) back to the seller (an AUS ebayer) and he nicely sent me back a new phone but the story didn't end here. The second phone worked for one day until I plugged in my usb universal car charger. Damn, the exactly same problem happened again at the very moment I pushed in the usb connector. Now I know what the issue has been. I frankly told the seller what happened and he told me what their repair guy found about my first phone, that the fault was from reverse polarity of power supply. I was very surprised because I have been using the same car charger for my previous 3 PDA phones w/o any issues and it's still working for those devices. What's special about the Touch HD?! Does USB have different polarity specs?
Anyhow the seller said he can replace it again but I need to pay the return shipping this time.
What is baffling me is that the phone can still charge when it's off completely but can't when it's on. Does it look like hardware or software problem? Also the USB can't be recognized in the bootloader mode but it could before being faulted by the charger. Does anyone have experience on faulted connector and is there a fix besides replacing the entire motherboard?
Your help and suggestion is much appreciated. Thanks!
The Advanced config Utility has an option for "USB Charging" maybe you could install it and see if the option says yes?
also me... now i figured out what the real problem
i used my old miniusb car charger about one full day before and the same problem start with me with slight different which is charge if i keep it plug in long time...(start charging after 5 min.)
i'm really lucky by not completly dameged
this issued must be listed and get real answer from HTC compeny if the mini usb for hd is different

need quick help please defy wont charge

Hey guys I am hoping someone can assist me. This morning when I woke up my defy would not charge. I have tried charging via my pc, ps3, and 3 wall chargers and it refuses to charge. The battery is at a very low state (around 7 percent). I am afraid if I call tmobile and/or bring it to their store and they look at it im screwed because im running CM9.
The phone is still under warranty for another few weeks, do I just chance it at this point and hope it has enough juice to flash the USA SBF and then go for warranty options or is there a fix for this?
EDIT: silly me, cant flash a SBF because my pc doesnt know my phones connected
did u try to use other usb cable ?
maybe the problem is the usb cable .
Yes all 3 chargers had different cables. My wife's LG marquee is charging fine on them
Sent from my LG-LS855 using XDA App
is it odd that without a battery in the phone I can wiggle the usb charger and my phone will boot into CM7? I thought it was odd, I kind of find it out on accident
EDIT heres the deal I can wiggle the usb end that plugs into the phone itself without a battery, and the red M logo comes up and will boot into CM7. At any time if disconnect the usb during this process, the phone turns off, If I leave the usb plugged in it continues to work. Anyone have an idea as to whats going on? It seems like it must be getting a signal from the usb cord
my friend, if you have an earlier complete recovery just boot into recovery mode the restore it. i can confirm that will solve your problem as i encountered the same problem before.
try to use an original usb cable.

S5 only charges via USB to computer

Got in my brand new S5 today and for some reason it will not charge when plugged into the wall, will work fine when its plugged into the USB port. I have tried multiple cords and chargers and still only works on the USB port. Any ideas?

Maybe your phone have some hardware issues or some soft issues, I don't know... The best try is go to a SAMSUNG service and say your problem, they will help you
And read this article maybe can help you :
http://ee.co.uk/help/phones-and-dev...-No-power-battery-charging-and-charger-issues
Nothing on the article helped...
That shouldn't happen on a new phone so don't waste time looking for solutions and just return it and make sure they give you replacement not repair.

Charging extremely slow via USB not AC

A few days ago, my phone started charging very slowly. Fast charging wouldn't work. When I went into settings/battery, it says "charging via USB" instead of "charging via AC". I also have no fast charging, regardless of whether I play with the settings. I also have no OTG and my computer won't recognize my phone. I've scoured forums and found no credible answers. I have replaced my cables and brick, and I have tried it with my S6 and they work fine. I'm going to try a factory reset. Is anyone else experiencing this? And any suggestions?

There are no updates available for my device?
I know this is a old Thread but has anyone found a solution and/or cause of this problem?
I have the same problem with my Galaxy S6 (sm-920v). I get the same thing "USB Connected" (extremely slow charging) regardless of the cable and charger I use, also no OTG or Computer Connection. I tried other chargers and cables (OEM and aftermarket) that work fine on other Galaxy devices. I've tried changing the USB settings, it won't even connect to a computer in DM mode. It takes over 6 hours to charge it from 0% via USB and will just maintain a charge when using the phone. A wireless charger will cut the time in half. I'm pretty much stuck having it plugged in all the time when using it.
Any help woud be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Mike
