Hello all!
I've got a Moto G4, it's all stock, no rooting or bootloaders or themes or lock screen apps. Just got 7.0 OTA a few weeks ago.
On a PC it's fine. When I drive home and plug it into my car, my phone is in the locked state as I get in my car, if I plug it in and hit power to bring up my phone screen the charging status continuously goes on and off.
Now, here's the weird part, if I unlock my phone while it is still plugged in in my car, it charges like normal (charge status not going on and off). Then if I re-lock it while still plugged in, it will charge normally while in the lock screen (not going on and off). Using the same cable all the time PC and car, just noticed this after a while getting 7.0 a few weeks ago, my phone didn't seem to be gaining charge while driving to and from work.
Is there some setting somewhere that's messing with this? Thanks.

I have the Bell version of this phone. I received it last week and I love it so far. The biggest issue that I have with this phone is that it will not stay off.
If I turn the phone off by holding the power button, it shows that it is turning off. 20 seconds later, the LG splash screen shows up and the phone powers back on by itself.
If I run it until the battery dies, I connect it to the charger, and a few seconds later I see the battery indicator. Without fail, within 40 seconds the phone powers back up on its own.
I have done a hard reset, and reinstalled everything and it doesn't help. Is this a quirk of this phone? Is there a fix that anyone knows of? I would really like the phone to remain off when I turn it off.
Sorry to hear you have this problem. I have not experience this problem with my phone.
Mine won't stay off if the power cord is plugged in.
So it can't charge while powered off (this is something I used to do to "re-calibrate" the battery on my Kaiser since WM6.x used to get in the way of the charging).
It could be that your USB port is damaged somehow to make the phone think that the power is plugged in?
That's about all I could think of... I find this behavior really aggravating.
Hey guys,
Had a bizzare problem with my tablet. Got it a while back it was on charge the other day and when i came in that night to look at it, the screen was "on" but nothing on the screen, just backlit. The charger was for the nexus 4 I have so I thought that maybe it was a proprietary charger issue. This can be an issue sometimes with certain devices (HP Touchpad would only charge properly on it's own charger).
I unplugged it and it powered off. So i held in the power button and nothing happened. I guessed the battery was not charged for the reason I put above.
Anyway last night I took it into the front room and plugged it in to the Nexus 7 wall charger there, held in the power button, nothing. Unplugged it, nothing. I guessed there was 0 battery so i left it for a while, then I noticed out of the corner of my eye the lockscreen came on! Wahoo i thought, i went to pick it up and the screen went crazy, like an old Commodor Loader or Spectrum, and it made some weird garbled sounds. Then nothing. I left it and 10 minutes later it did it again, so i unplugged it and left it on the side.
Anyone else had the issue? Is there a known issue? I unlocked the bootloader but lost root after the recent update. I am anxious about RMAing it. Right now the device is at home so I can't plug it in, but will try tonight to put it in the USB and see if I can recover it somehow....
No Mods just unlocked bootloader.
Hello,
Two days ago, i was charging my phone, everything was fine and normal. But then
it stop charging, I change cords, Changed adapters to no avil. Then i plugged it into the wall again, but it still wasn't charging so i uplugged it and my phone went crazy, Saying it was charing, then it wasn't then it was then is wasn't then it was. Mind you my phone isn't plug to no power source it just. When i charge my phone when it's off, my phone vibrate and have a thin white light pop up when it vibrate, like it's about to turn on but it don't. sometime it comes on and charge but if i move the cord it will stop. and when the phones is on it charge sometimes but again i have to work with it and move the cord around. So my phone charge but only when it wants to which not to offten. I haven't dropped my phone, no water damage no nothing. The only thing is thought i cut my phone off that night and when i woke up it was on.
P.S I am running android version 4.4.2, my phone fail to do the UPDATE. if this mean anything.
My phone was working fine. Today I've put my phone to charge and it was about 75% then I had enabled Stay Awake option in the developer option to update my apps from Google.
Because normally when I update and the screen goes off it doesn't update the app. So it was one way to do it. This method I've used for several years (I mean I was watching the phone while playing games on my PC).
But today, My phone was charging from a powerbank and I was in bed then I woke up to do some work on my PC. The phone was on my bed still charging and updating the apps but I saw that the power bank was low and my phone was turned off. I took the phone and it was hot and it wasn't booting.
I tried charging from its charger from the wall socket for more than 20 mins, the phone gets hot again but won't show any charging animation.
I tried connecting it to my pc via USB it doesn't make any sound.
If you have an idea what happened please tell me. I need this phone.
Last night I had my phone connected to my computer to charger it per my normal routine before going to bed. I removed the USBC cable and the phone's screen instantly went black. Would not power on with holding the power button, power button and Volume + button together. None of the tricks I knew to try would work.
I laid down for the night and plugged it into the original charger and cable from OP, and the phone vibrated, showed the bootloader unlocked message, then back to black screen, never showed the boot animation. Intrigued, I then was able to get into the fast boot screen, I got excited and thought maybe by some chance there was a software/kernel issue and I could push the image from my desktop. So I unplugged the power cable and as soon as I did the phone instantly powered off.
Now prior to connecting the phone to the computer, the phone was at roughly 35% battery, so there was no way at any point that the battery was dead.
I left the phone connected to the oem charger and cable overnight, and upon waking up today the phone will still not turn on. I tried holding power and volume + for at least a minute and no signs of life.
I'm really at a loss here, I've had the phone less than 3 weeks, it's never been dropped or exposed to water.
I opened up a ticket for repair from OP but now I'm concerned that the phone is rooted and has TWRP, if they'll deny repair, even if it appears to be a hardware issue not software?
Are there any other tricks I can try?
Well as an update, I now know why I've seen many people say OP has horrible customer support. It took longer than it should have, but the repair facility says that replacing the mainboard fixed the problem. And sure enough my phone is charging and working as expected. Already updated, bootloader unlocked, twrp installed and magisk. Life is good. ?
