Hello,
i'm new here and i'd be glad if someone can help me. So i got my phone a month ago and i noticed that while its charging (with the original charger) and while using it in the same time it almost does not charge at all, still when it's not used it does actually fast charge. As a previous samsung user, i never had this issue with samsung phones (they always fast charged even on heavy use).
That's one problem, the second one is scrolling isn't smooth. Yet my internet speed is 1GB at home although i don't see it related, overall scrolling let's say for example Facebook, snapchat, browser, it gets slow at few times and it ain't smooth like i expected it to be.
My device isn't even rooted so i haven't messed with it anyhow, running usual diagnostics and clearing apps regularly, downloaded just few social media apps so no heavy games on the phone but still i can't figure out if it's just my phone or is it the lg g6 like that.
thank you
1st i wanted to mention maybe the problem is your outlet in house but, yes G6 is charging slower when you use it on your charger.. And when it comes to fast charging to mine it tooks 1h and 40min from 0-100% bit slower than competiton models, but again fast enough.
When it comes on smoothness i am on V10T EU update and the phone has no laggs at all. It did had on past versions. But with this V10T i hadn't had any smoothness issue.. It really is great, and for playing with the phone while charging i wouldn't recommend that. It can really take effect on your battery.

The scrolling lag sounds like there might be something making the phone work hard. Heavy usage would also make it charge more slowly than expected, because some of that power is going to operate the phone rather than into the battery. BUT I don't think it would prevent the "fast charging" text on the display.
It is remarkable how badly-behaved apps can be - I'd remove/disable your apps one at a time and see if one of them is responsible.
Try a fully compliant aftermarket quick charge 3.0 charger, it should charge much faster. Unlike a QC 3.0 charger, the charger bundled with the phone does not include 12V charging mode, so it's not allowing the phone to charge as fast as the phone can handle (the phone is fully quick charge 3.0 compliant and can charge faster than the bundled charger is capable of doing).

Yup, that's true. BUT I have s7 and g6 and both are slowly charging when I'm using them, phone would get too hot if it would fast charge while using it
I appreciate all your replies guys. Thank you.
Although i noted i dont have any heavy apps or heavy usage, the scrolling lag seems like a lag to me because i got used to faster phones before. Or maybe it is the original cable i need to change as you guys said. Anyway thanks again
I also encountered slow charging problems, but it seemed to be the cable, in some position it worked and in some it did not. I've bought an one plus dash cable for about 10 $, red one, and no problems since then. The cable is more thicker and robust, I highly recommend it.
Hi, I've got this problem: sometimes when I plug my G6 to the charger, a popup message comes out saying:
Charging slowly
Try the following if charging is slow:
- make sure to completely remove any water or debris from the USB ports.
- reconnect both ends of the cable.
- use the charger and cable that came with the phone.
Sometimes, instead, the phone starts charging normally with fast charging. If that popup comes out and I try to unplug and plug USB cable a couple of times, the phone starts charging again with fast charge.
Sometimes, when the phone is already charging with fast charge, suddenly the phone stops charging for a couple of seconds and starts again (I notice it because of the popup sound that comes if you plug the phone to USB)
I even tried to clean USB port, swapped the original USB cable with Anker cable but still using the original LG charger.
Of course there is no water in the port, otherwise a moist detector message would appear.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Can I solve buying a new charger? I'm afraid USB port might be broken

I did it recently after I upgraded to Oreo but this was happening even before I did reset the phone.

Yeah i found that funny that LG lied and tried to get by on using the chargers from the failed lg G5 shipped with the G6. They only support 2.0 charging so just use the cord and use another 3.0 block or get a portable 3.0 power pack. They are 20 bucks on amazon. Good ones too.

can this be a good charger?
I bought an used G6 without charger but I have a Pixel charger model GL0102 and when I plug the phone I cant see the fast charging notification on the screen. It only say charging.

Every time i charge my aria, while its plugged in to an AC charger, the screen seems buggy to me, the only way i can get it to work is if i put a finger on the metal part on top while im navigating, and even then it can do some funky stuff.
its like super sensitive or something.
and when i have it plugged into the computer, its even worse, completely unusable.
this happens all the time, no matter what rom i have on the phone.
its a pain, anyone else experiencing this?
never had anything like that happen.
I had this problem using an lg wall charger but not with the provided wall/usb chargers or a motorola car charger
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
strange, its happening on the oem chargers
This is happening to me too. Super sensitive keys, impossible to scroll. Happening to me on CM6, can't remember if it was same on Sense/Liberated
Same problem here with stock ROM, although only certain aftermarket chargers. The one that came in the box (as well as using USB from the PC) are fine. But they also charge much slower. I think the other chargers have a higher voltage (like 5v USB as compared to 3.3v). It's annoying for sure, but not a deal-breaker for me.
Oink!
It only happens to me when I use the aftermarket wall charger. I'm on liberated b003 rom.
Paranoid Brandroid
hmmm, maybe ill go buy another oem charger, see if its a problem with the charger
happens to me on a wall charger/car charger set i bought on ebay or amazon...cant remember
oem charger is fine and so is any other cable plugged in to the pc to charge.
it's just that one damn wall charger that doesnt charge very fast anyway. just got it as a backup for at work.
I actually had this problem with my iphone 3gs and some charger i bought off of ebay. When the phone was plugged into it, the capacitive panel was all wonky and i couldn't use the phone. I guess it was a poorly designed charger.
Happens to me too across all ROMs using the oem charger. I don't have an after market to test with.
same is happening to me with a 3rd party microusb charger on my desire, if i try to pinch to zoom, while charging, the screen goes crazy
Lately I've been having issues with my phone and charging. It started with the stock OEM charger getting steadily harder and harder to use.. so I bought an Aukey charger to replace it with and it completely refuses to work on my phone, so I tried another phone and tablet and it works great. I tried my super old Galaxy note 2 charger with a motorola usb cable from my maxx and it works fine... I then tried that usb cable on the aukey QC 2.0 charger and it won't work... tried the same cable again on my phone with the sammy charger and it worked... tried a QC 3.0 aukey wall charger and it won't work... yet I have a QC 2.0 incipio car charger. it was working with the USB moto cable I've had in my car since I got my Bionic... then it just stopped charging my phone, got a new USB and it works great now except the moto usb will work for friends, just not my phone.
I have absolutely no idea what's causing this... I thought maybe there was lint in the charging port so I took a tootpick and cleaned it out, got a small piece of lint, same thing with all the chargers. I can't find anything online, and being a tinkerer I've tried everything I can think of before asking. I'm starting to think the phone itself is having problems and the port is actually bad or there's something wrong in the software causing it to have problems with turbo or QC chargers.
any ideas?
There is a general inconsistency with this device and Quick Chargers... if you look in the Accessories area there are several threads discussing it.
Personally, I use the Aukey QC 2.0 charger for travel with an Eversame premium braided cable and it works fine, yet others use the same combination and it won't Turbo charge or in some cases charge at all.
I also face the same issue. Some USB cables work with my Moto X Style and some doesn't .
i am having an even worse issue and i am sure its a software problem, recently my moto x stopped charging using the moto charger so in the last two months i have 4 different chargers who worked for some time each now it just doesnt work at all, i have cleaned the port numerous times then it just stopped working so when the phone finally died all of a sudden it started charging but as soon as it switched to turbo mode the charge would stop and start over again. i have deduced its a software problem as once the phone tries to go to turbo charging mode it cant sustain the charge and cancels it. amphere even shows its discharging while on the charger , however if it starts charging while the phone is off with a low voltage adapter and turn on the phone once you dont remove the cable it will charge (extremely slowly but it will charge).

FYI... There is no software problem with charging, if there was it would affecting hundreds of thousands of people. And I doubt you have 2 software problems, a bad kernel and a bad bootloader/recovery image, because 2 different things control charging when powered on and powered off.
Issue here is you likely have a high resistance connection somewhere between the USB port and the battery itself, or a bad charging circuit... It's hardware.
while i can understand where you are coming from when the phone is in factory mode (motorola customer care told me to try) its charging fine also turbo charging is working now just it doesnt recognize the sim card. it was a suggestion from Motorola customer service desk, as i live outside of the us they gave me some options to try. they said it was a software glitch where the phone may have gotten an overload from a bad connection and caused the phone to not recognize the charger. however while the phone is off this check is not performed which is why i was getting a lower amp charger to work as the phone did not have to enable the protocol that allows for quick charge/turbo charge voltages.
Like mentioned in the title, my fast wireless charging works, and when I put my phone on the pad it tells me it is fast wireless charging. However, whenever I try to use the cable directly and not wireless charging, it becomes cable charging which is incredibly slow (8-10 hours for 50%).
I have obviously checked all the simple steps. I'm using the adaptive charger, I'm using a good cable, fast charging is turned on in settings. I even tried factory reseting my phone but still no luck.
Is it possible that my charging port is loose? And if so is there any way to fix this?
The other possibility I'm thinking of is that my Europe to America convertor might be bad (I have the international version so I have to use the plug convertor) I recently lost the one that came in the box so I had to buy a new one off amazon. Are there such good things as good and bad convertors or are they all the same. And if it is the convertor, why would the wireless charging work but the cable charging not.
EDIT: I just checked plugging in an S6 to the cable and it says fast charging. Does that mean it is definitely the port on my phone?

May sound odd but have you tried unplugging and replugging the charger in over and over to see if one of those times it pops up as fast charging?
i had this problem with my Note 5 (im in the UK and note 5 was not released here so i had to buy a Russian variant and they sent with 2pin to 3pin adapter)
I don't think i ever had a fix for this other than using a different fast charger without the adapter..
However like you The official note 5 charger with adapter does work to charge my s7e fine though
so our problems seem pretty similar... Maybe buy a new fast charger that doesn't require an adapter and try that?
Hello,
I just got my lg g6 and when i charge up the phone with the stock charger i encounter an issue.
The phone recognize the quick charge and all but instead of charging up the battery lose percentages and never really charge up.
The cable is correctly inserted both to the charger and to the phone, if i use a non quick charge charger everything works fine so the cable shouldn't be the issue.
In addition, the phone from time to time behaves like the charging disconnects and reconnects. The screen turns on and i see the message "charging" which immediately turn to "quick charging" like if i just inserted the cable, but the battery keeps being drained or just stays at the same %.
I also noticed a very strange battery graph. i'd post a picture but i can't upload images or put links at the moment.
in the time period that it was charging with the stock charger the graph presents a series of blank colums that interrupts the graph and the segmented line is trending downward.
I thought that maybe could be a faulty charger, but i tried it on other phones ( htc one and a lg g3 non qc capable) and it charges them totally fine. So now i really have no idea what could be wrong.
I have stock firmware, no root and locked bootloader.
Any ideas?
Download ampere from play store and see if it really charge

I already checked and it shows as charging.
The speed is turbo as well.
Ampere shows a charging value goes from 40mA to peaks of 1200-1300mA (very rare and immediately drop afterward)
I just tested and did a 30 minute charge session, it started at 54% and finished at 53%...
Monday arrives a new quick charge 3.0 charger. If that works i guess i'll blame the stock charger. Otherwise i could think of replacing the phone...
Most of the time this is due to the USB type C connector (both ends) getting dirty/dusty. I just dusted it out with compressed air and it worked fine again. A friend with a Aalaxy A5 (2017) also had this exact problem. Give that a shot and let us know.
I had a spare can of compressed air. Dusted both the usb-c on the cable and the phone and the standard usb male and female on the cable and charger. Waited for any condensation to go away, plugged it in and charged for another 10 minutes but still nothing.
The phone and charger are 4 days old and i bought them from amazon so no egdy e bay sellers. I find it hard i could be something like dust or anything. Anyway now all connectors are squeaky clean but the problem persists.
Frequent disconnections ( i get the bottom text "current connected" even if the cable is still in ) and the battery refuses to go up even 1%.
The strangest thing is that on normal charge with my old g3 it works fine, could it be that quick charge and normal charge are on different circuits? Maybe just the QC one is faulty.
Or even some component manages it with the standard 5v current but when it ramps up to 9 with the QC it gives up.
Sadly i know too little of this stuff to actually come up with a plausible explanation
I would return it as doa.
Ughh i'm gonna wait tomorrow and test with another charger.
I would really hate having to set the whole phone up again from scratch...
If by any chance you have to replace the G6, make a backup with LG Back up on you SD card. When you get the new phone you restore the backup and you 95% done.

The charger arrived and everything works now.
I was just unlucky thay i got a faulty stock charger.
Might do some test with the cable as well just to check if it works properly.
Thank you for all the replies!
Hi, this is a bit of a long question. I had an LG V20 that I was having an issue where it wouldn't charge if the USB-C end of the cable was plugged into the phone the wrong way . I could only get it to charge if it was plugged in one way and even then it wouldn't fast charge. I would get a message that it is going to do regular charging instead of fast charging and to use the original cable to get fast charging.
I also have an LG G6 so I thought I would try the charging cable from that phone and see what happens. Well, it worked perfectly fine with the V20, fast charging regardless of which way the cable was plugged into the phone. I also tried the V20 charging cable with the G6 and it works when plugged into the phone either way (instead of just the one way with the V20), but it does not do fast charging.
What could be the reason that it won't do fast charging and that it only worked when plugged into one phone a certain way while the other phone it worked either way?
Got exactly the same issue since today. Maybe after security patch day before yesterday?
It only charges when the cable is plugged in with the smooth side up.
If i plug it in with the "creased" side up, the phone freaks out about slow charging and moisture detection.
