I have had my g3 for about 2 months now and the last 2 days i realise that it barely charges. I usually leave my phone overnight and its always at 100% in the morning but 2 days ago i plugged it in at about 15% at 12am and by 9am it was only at 54%. I thought it was really strange but didnt think much of it i took out the battery put it back in and put it to charge again. In 3 hours it was only at 70%. I realised there was something wrong but i couldnt figure out what was causing the problem so i let the battery emptey and tried charging again. Again the charging was extremley slow. So i took my friends charger and it was full in an hour or so. This was a relif knowing it wasent my phone that was the problem. So i decided to see what the problem was i took his usb cable (which was also original) and plugged it into my charger and it charged quickly but when i plug in my cable its slow w even on his charger. Does anyone know whats going on?

I've never had good charging in this phone. Sometimes its super fast other times it barely charges if the screen is on. I have the damn thing plugged in and just saw it drop a percent. Charging port is to blame IMO. Its a piece of ****.

Had the same issue with my 4 months old LG G3. Different cables didn't make a change, original LG Charger was the problem - when charging on external battery it was always fast, when charging on my genuine Nvidia Shield charger it was always fast. So i decided to buy a different charger (i-tec USB Power Charger 2 Port) and also new cable (Wsken X-Cable) and no longer any problems...
