My G6 keeps losing GPS signal. This happens only when its plugged in (eg in car charger). It suddenly loses signal and regains after 2-3 minutes. However if I do not plug it in, it does not happen. Any clues on how to debug and what to do?

tl;dr at bottom
I recently purchased LG's WCP-300 Wireless Charging Pad for use with my Nexus 4 (Rooted, Stock ROM, Franco Kernel r127).
Last night after running my phone down to ~8%, (with some bump charging a few percent points with a cable during use) it got really hot. Once it got hot, all connection dropped. The phone showed greyed out wifi and cell service bars, and I could not send SMS or access the web.
Once I let the phone cool down and rebooted, everything was fine. I figured that it was a normal response for the phone to prevent itself from overheating and was okay with it. When it overheated I was in a Google+ hangout.
Here is where the wireless charging comes in. I put it on charge last night, and when I woke up this morning my phone was around 60% power. Looking at the attached screenshots, the phone appears to have stopped charging a couple hours later, and thinks it has been on battery power for over one day. To me that indicates that the phone did not realize it was charging.
If anyone could help me out I would really appreciate it.
tl;dr: Phone overheated, dropped all connection. When phone cooled and I rebooted connection came back. Wireless charging pad only charged phone for a couple hours from ~8% to ~60%. Solutions?
Hi,
I have a LG G2 D805 that doesn't turn on. What happened is that the digitizer broke, so i couln't turn off the phone. So i decided to open it to disconnect the battery and wait for my digitizer replacement to arrive.
When i disconnected the battery the phone turned off, so i reconnected the battery to test it out. The phone didn't turn on.
I connected the phone to the charger and the led flashed red. Again discconected the battery and i reconnected it and the phone turned on (this was with the charger connected and after many tries).
So i disconnected it again to test it out because this is really weird, and after many tries the phone turned on but with a message that the battery was not connected. Tried again, and the phone does not turn on at all, not even with the charger connected.
I think that the motherboard it is blocked in some way, I checked the the battery (it is fully charged) with a multimeter and it gives 4.3v of output.
I checked if the motherboard was getting any voltage, and it is getting 3.7v.
I hope you guys could help me, Thanks!
Hi!
I use a rooted D802 with cloudyG2 3.3.
Several weeks ago my phone has developed an annoying 'habbit':
It continually disconnects and reconnects to charging, but this happens only when I charge it in my car on my way home in the evening.
This does not happen in the morning on my way to work (using the same car, same car charger, same cable).
This does not happen using wall chargers.
I've tried various cables and car chargers, no change.
It's quite annoying and cumbersome when trying to use navigation or just by having the charging indication keep popping up every few seconds along with the charging sound.
Anyone encountered such strange charging patterns?
Any suggestion to stop it?
Thanks
Hey there, my a3 2016 has been acting up lately in that sometimes it detects that its been plugged into a charger and shows its 'charging' however it sometimes randomly decides not to detect that its been plugged in and doesnt do anything, this is also the same when connecting to a PC.
The thing is that when it doesn't react to being plugged in it still charges the phone as when it later detects being plugged in the battery percentage is always as if it was on charge. For example in the morning it would be on 15%, i plug it in, nothing happens but i leave it plugged in then in the afternoon i plug it in, shows the "charging" notification however the percentage jumps to 70%.
Any ideas on what this could be? The usb charging port, the battery, or maybe software?
Cheers!
I added a wireless charging receiver to my ZTE Axon 7 mini and I get an odd sputtering/stuttering/hiccuping happen at around 91% charge. Every minute or so the phone looses it's wireless charging connection, reconnects, then continues charging until the next hiccup. Eventually the phone will charge to 100% and the hiccuping then stops.
The problem does not occur when the battery is below about 91%. And I don't get this problem if I simply plug the phone in to charge.
The biggest annoyance for me is that I have it charging at my bedside while sleeping and the frequent charging beeps and screen turning on wakes me up. The solution I've found for now is to set my phone to Silent while I'm sleeping, but though that helps with the beeps I can still get woken up by the flashing screen. And of course, there are other issues I have with setting the phone to Silent.
I have wondered if this was the receiver or the charger at fault but I've tried one other receiver and 2 other chargers with the same result.
I do suspect this has something to do with what I assume is a slowing of the charging rate as the battery gets close to full but I don't know how to confirm that.
Any suggestions to resolve this greatly appreciated.

From what I can guess, the problem was a combination of placement of the phone on the charging pad and/or the presence of a metal disk (behind the receiving pad, though) for a magnetic car mount (though this was not an issue with wireless charging in the car via the mount) and/or the end-of-life of the wireless charger.
I found that placing the phone horizontally and in a specific position stopped the fluttering.
And interestingly, about 2 weeks after this post, the wireless charger gave up the ghost.
