Make sure you are using the original charger

When you are about to charge your LG G3, make sure that you are using the charger that came with your device.

Try a different charger

If the problem occurs when you are using the original charger perhaps it is faulty (it may be damaged, broken, etc.), so to eliminate that, use a different charger and different cable.

Use Ampere

There is a handy app called Ampere that will tell you how much power your device is receiving. With this app, you will see which USB cable/charger combination is working the best for your smartphone, so it will charge faster.

Close apps which are running in the background

If you have tons of apps which are running in the background, that may be the reason why your device is charging slowly. Here is how you can close background apps:

  • Go to Settings
  • Tap Apps
  • Swipe to the left and tap select Running tab
  • You will see all the running apps
  • To close the app which is running, tap on its name and click Stop
  • You will be asked if you want to stop system service, tap Yes.

Also, try not to use your device while it’s charging because it will charge slower.

If these workarounds didn’t help you fix the problem, contact LG or your carrier.
