Well I had with my old phone the same problem but I recognized that there was some dirt in the charging port of the phone.
I removed this with my nail and it worked again.
Probably it won't help you but you'll never know

Try connecting the charge cable to a USB port on your computer for a few hours. You may not see anything right away but eventually the phone will begin to charge.

i got this issue few days back..the charging was slow..cant even reach 100 when im on the phone..its pathetic..swap with my old lg phone model cable bam!the old cable built was much rugged compared to nexus 4..

I have exactly the same problem - when it ran out of power today, it switched itself off normally, and then when I inserted the cable, it didn't charge. not even the battery animation thing came up!
I hope somebody can find a solution.
Oh yeah, and I checked in the port for dust, and used countless alternate wires and power adapters

When you run the battery all the way down it takes a while to start a charge. Just leave it plugged in for a while and it'll go. I'm not sure if it does this every time because I don't drain my phone to 0% but it has happened before on my old phone and I've seen it happen to iphones as well.

Same problem

Did you ever find a solution or send the phone in to LG? I'm having this exact problem right now. I've tried three different micro USB wall chargers for hours at a time as well as charging it through the USB port on my computer. I get absolutely no charge and I have never had any problems at all until last night when it simply would not charge.

Try pressing the power button and immediately the low volume, wait like 3 to 5 seconds and it'll restarts. Not the first time this happens to me and wish to know what's going on! don't know if there's an app that's doing this or hardware issue...

Try cleaning the port like mentioned. There's videos in YouTube

ahh this problem...i had the exact same problem with my gnex...its just that the metal plate of the micro usb port of your phone has bent down a bit which is why it doesnt charge...the easiest way to fix that is to take something flat and lift the metal plate gently..not too much otherwise you'll break it...just lift it up slightly and it should charge normally then...Hopefully :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Weird galaxy note 3 problem

Good morning folks, I have a strange problem with my galaxy note 3.
Since a few days, he would not charge.
When I connect it to the charger it does shows the lightning bolt on the screen, also in the menu it says Charging.
But the % are decreasing instead of increasing
When i connect it to my computer it's fully functional reading/writing also reconized by KIES.
1. First I thought the battery was broken, but this was not the case.
I put the battery in another note 3 and he just did it to charge.
2. The charger itself is not broken, the cable either. This just works with the other note.
3. Charging synch port replaced the phone, problem is not going away.
4. I have set up a custom ROM, it does not work.
5. Returning to the original stockrom
6. Carried out by phone shop Moisture Treatment
But the problem is not solved.
Should I start thinking about a motherboard problem here?
Or maybe you know something I can try.
Thank you very much in advance.
Greetings Johan

There's a Charging IC on the mainboard, that maybe is the solution to this problem.

Zuk z1 charging issue.

Hello all,
I recently met a problem when I plug my z1 to the adapter. There is no vibration or green led notification or "lightning symbol" on the icon battery but the phone is charging. And when I turn it off and plug it, it vibrates, shows brielfy the battery level and then it reboots to the system.
But when I plug it to my computer, the phone charges correctly with vibration, led notification etc...
I tested another adapter (nexus 7 adapter) but the problem is the same.
I tried to solve my issue by flashing the last official signed rom (by recovery) and done all OTA updates but the problem is still here.
Does anyone have an idea of the of my problem and can help me to solve it ? I use the official USB type C cable.
Thank you very much for your help.

Same problem here
Hi,
I've been a ZUK Z1 user for 4 days now and I'm experiencing the exact same issue. The phone charges whatever you have it plugged to, although only shows it when plugged into a PC.
So I would say this is a software bug which hasn't been discovered yet, or either a hardware problem in the worst of the cases.
Let's hope is the first one
PD: if you own a Z1 please check this, it should really be investigated

thank you for your reply
I'm relieved I'm not alone but it seems it is an unusual issue... I hope it will be fixed soon because it's annoying to not know if the phone is charging.

It's the cable... I order a new charger and typ-c cable from OnePlus - now I have no problems.

Are you sure you had the same issue?
I've noticed sometimes the phone detects the cable after being powered on while plugged in.
Also if anybody has solved it changing the cable, please post it:fingers-crossed:

weird thing
Yesterday I used my phone in gps mode, plugged on my car adapter with the original zuk cable and charging worked very well. I'm confused I really don't have any ideas why my zuk doesn't charge well when charging at home

problem solved
Hi, I tried charging my zuk with the original adapter using another cable and everything works fine. Changing cable solves the issue

Yess!!!
I'll order a new cable on amazon then, really appreciate the info.:highfive:
Any recomendation on what cable should I buy?

yess!
I bought ORZLY brand cable on Amazon

I also had to change the cable. Not a very good quality cable Zuk offers then..

Same problem here. Original cable worked perfecly during 2 months. Now I have the same problem.
IMPORTANT:
I ordered from amazon an USB cable, guided by Benson Lung (Google Engineer) recommendations:

i've the same issue since a few weeks. It only beginn to charge, if i reboot the phone. I've given my cable to a friend with a nexus 5x and he said that the cable works perfectly. His cable doesn't work on my phone. So the cable can't be the reason.

Problem solved
Hey...guys .
Actually I got same problem from morning ....So I google it .then I founded this blog and read ur messages ..then I got problem about wire. So I concluded it. And problem is solved ...
U jzt twist ur wire 4 or 5 time ...then connect twisted wire as like in twist condition and plugged in ur phone....
So guys I think is help 2 u also......

That's not solving the problem . Maybe it works a few times. Eventually, it will no longer function . My device should normal load , as provided by the manufacturer . Therefore, I have sent the device and wait for a response since .

Did you tried another charger and cable? It's the most possible problem. Have you stock Cyanogen OS installed? Any grime on charging socket? Does the battery icon shows charging while screen is on or not?

Phone stops charging after Oreo Update. (On my second phone right now)

First of all I'm very sorry for posting on a developer Forum, I had lurked here for about a month looking for an answer and I can't find it. I wouldn't had made an account otherwise.
Here's my problem, my phone randomly stops charging (not notice neither) since the Oreo Update. I believe is because of the update because I return my old phone and bought a second phone and decided to leave it on Nougat, I decided to update it to Oreo because I missed notification badges and the day after I already had the same problem.
Things of Notice:
*Both phones where new and on the latest security patch.
*My phone does charge overnight when in wall socket but will stop charging when I used the USB on my car (my car has a USB adapter but if I charge it there, it will keep READING USB and repeating the cycle)
*Phone also stops charging when I use an extended battery. (I'm an avid Pokemon Go Player)
*Restating the phone a couple of times, fixes the issue.
Is there anything that I can do? everything else about the phone works perfectly (Facebook takes a long time to load but that's it). If there's an answer already please forward me to that post. Thanks again

Could it be because the update enabled quick charge, so now the phone requires a bigger energy output from the USB?

Does changing the cable help? If not, try doing a factory reset.

Since this is my first phone with USB type C I only have the one cable. I had notice the battery backup is charging so it seems like a problem with the car charger but I need to test it first. What charging output do I need to charge a modern phone like this?

Anywhere from 0.5A (laptop USB port) to 2.5A (tablet charger) should work. Can you test charging from a computer?

I'm sorry I answer this late, I was unable to log into the site from my phone. (forgot the pasword). I did some testing in the weekend and it did charge on my laptop, it charge extremely slow., Just 3% in like an hour. (with constant use).
I kept using it with my power bank it kept charging reliably as well as in my house. But it keeps having the some problem at the car, So here's what I'm wondering. If I use one of those 3.0 USB car chargers will it charge my phone? without a problem to my car? I don't know if this phone supports fast charging (the specs says yes but I never seen the fast charging message with the regular charging)

No worries. Yes, laptop charging is slow.
I'm not sure if the stock ROM supports fast charging but custom ones do, and it can't harm your device. I don't see why it would harm your car if it was made for it. Maybe your car's USB port broke.

I see, I'll buy one of those quick charge car chargers and if everything goes alright I'm keeping the phone. I really like the look and camera and my only annoyances with it come from Stock Android.

I have had the same reaction on one of my phones after updating to oreo.
Changing the charger from a 1A model to a 2,4A model solved the issue.

S6 edge plus Charging and Disconnecting repeatedly issue

I have S6 edge plus since 1 year it was working fine but from like a month I'm facing charging issue when even I plug in charger my phone start charging and disconnecting it rapidly and it keep make charging sound... while its not connecting properly... it is not supporting fast charging as well whenever I plug in my fast charger it shows cable charging only
I have tried to use another charger having the same issue with that one as well.
some of the time my phone isn't detecting/saving charging but if I turn my phone off it start doing normal charging...
what could be the issue any help?

shut your phone off for me and plug it in, does it charge now? i had a similar issue to you and i resolved it by flashing a custom rom instead of stock. I am not sure if it is a bug or what, i asked this same question a long while ago and nobody was able to help me either.

Have you tried different cable ? If you tried then your phone port is faulty.
