Hello,
I recently purchased a wireless charging station/pad, the Verizon-branded LG WCP-700. I have 3 different batteries for my Thunderbolt (rooted, stock). 2 of them are the stock/original 1400mA batteries from HTC. One came with the phone, the other was purchased additionally from Verizon. The third is the red MyTouch 1650mA battery, purchased from Verizon.
ALL THREE batteries get warm/hot when charging with a corded charger. Still, it charges fine.
When I use my new wireless WCP-700 charging pad, the phone gets VERY HOT (52+ cel., 120-130 far.). Sometimes, it gets so hot that the charging stops. But sometimes, it charges throughout the night and fully charges the battery, which is fine. This happens with ALL THREE batteries.
What is wrong and what can be done?
Not interested in installing a new kernel, etc.
Not running many background apps.

Are you tethering while charging?
I've heard, but don't know for certain, that tethering while charging can cause overheating and damage.

Yes. But wired charging works fine (even when tethering).
(btw, is there a better app to use than Wireless Tether? I like it, but my computer keeps losing connection. I have to stop and restart the app).

If its called "wifi tether for root users" in the marketplace, scroll down to the "more by developer" section and try the other one. It's titled the same thing, but has a green wifi icon.
See if that one works any better for you.
Some phones use one better than the other.

My phone used to get really hot when I tethered while I was charging. It was so hot one day that it shut off and wouldn't come back on until it cooled down. That is the only time that has ever happened.

so have you found a fix for this? or is it just the nature of things?

I have tried two apps:
WiFi Tether for Root Users:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tLmdvb2dsZWNvZGUuYW5kcm9pZC53aWZpLnRldGhlciJd
Wireless Tether for Root Users:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=android.tether&feature=related_apps
Both current versions. (although, oddly, it seems that "Wifi" uses "Wireless"'s service).
Both give me the same overheating results.
Any other options?
In my experience it doesn't matter what tether I use it gets hit. That is just the nature of what is going on. The 4g radio is pulling a lot of data and WiFi is having to broadcast all that. Not to mention the CPU has to process all of that. Sounds like a heat generator to me. Oh and don't forget that you're charging the phone at the same time which also generates heat.

Really unsure what to tell you man.
I don't think your battery should be getting that hot.
Have you tried charging with your plug in charger and seeing if it still has the same problem?

Hi. I'm new and I hope you can help me.
My Moto G is about to arrive and I was wondering what's the first thing I should do with it? Should I charge it right out of the box? Should I turn it on and then charge? How long should the first charge be?
Also, I have read this phone has alot of problems with charging, especially when the battery gets to 0%. What are your suggestions to prevent these problems (such as the phone not turning on/charging, etc)?
Thanks in advance.
Just take it out of the box and use it like you have it for months. No special care needed.
The battery drop problem occurs to some users due to unknown reasons, possibly coz of use of noisy/bad charges or improper charge via computer usb port.

OMGoodness..Sir..
Certainly, Moto recommends a full charge before using the device, like everyone else does..but..consider the battery is at a low activity state, and charge at least to 50%..because you'll need it for initial setup..its just a precaution..you certainly can wait for a good charge on the device..boot to stock settings..charge..then proceed..
Everyone has opinions on this matter..but..boot, charge..surely one CAN wait that long, for a 50% charge..LOL
I own (1) XT1028 and (2) XT1045's and have no trouble with battery issues..its all in how you maintain the charge..A backup, external battery that is OTG USB is nice to have with you at all times, just incase..
The way we treat/maintain the device battery, is the life of that battery..
Anyhow..you will certainly be pleased with your new Moto G..

Battery-wise since Li-Ion it isn't better to perform full cycles, in fact, the most healthy thing for a Lithium based battery is to keep it between 40% and 80% all the time, and to store it at 40-60% charge.
That full cycle and stuff are useful for other kinds of batteries, but on Lithium you there's little you can do as the battery isn't new when you buy the device (they charge it and let it go 40-60% charge to store it for retail since it is the best for lithium). It is actually bad for the battery to go over 85% charge as it increases the chance to get undesired reactions in the cells that degrade the capacity. I'm impressed at how manufacturers confuse people with weird battery myths in their user manuals...
Quick history on this phone...
This is my former Razr Maxx Hd, my wife is using it. It is unlocked and rooted.
My wife has been complaining about the phone just dying on her with 50-75% battery remaining. So Thursday I started to look at it and realized that the back was bulging out. She also had an HD Maxx that she dropped in the water, I took the battery out of hers and put it in mine, everything was working fine, until this morning. The battery icon shows that the phone is being charged but the circle widget doesn't, and when I click on the battery widget the battery app, indicates that it's not charging. Other than a factory reset what else can I do, to try and make this thing work. I have tried different cables and chargers all with the same result.
Thanks for your time.

I see two possibilities here with massively different causes.
First, it may actually be charging, but some or all programs aren't aware of that fact.
Second, it may not be charging at all.
I can't think of a simple way to test which is the case, without running the risk of leaving you with a discharged battery and no way to charge it.
As additional information, when you turn the power off and plug in the charger, does it load the simple battery indicator screen and/or show any evidence that the battery is accepting a charge?
Sorry for not responding, I found the cause to be a bad battery. When I would plug the phone up without it powered on the battery icon would display a question mark inside it. I thought that maybe I had a bad flash so I made a factory cable and was able to reflash the fxz. That didn't help though, so I purchased a new battery from eBay, and it works flawlessly.
Thank you though for replying

Hello,
is this serious? Can you guys make a screenshot of your result of the app "ampere"? Is 500ma good? The 1+1 should load afaik with 2100ma, or? I am confused
I get full 1800-1900mAh on OEM and other 2amp chargers. Change the cable that's mostly the culprit, or maybe change position so there's less stress
Transmitted via BACON
Here is mine with ****ty cable ..
And here with stock cable. You can see the difference. Keep in mind my phone was at 66% charge already and phone charges fast when battery is much low.

Use stock cable and stock charger, If you don't have stock cable then get a good quality cable may be from Anker and don't buy 6 feet or 2 meter cable. Buy 1 meter cable.

Which ROM/Kernel do you use. I had a problem on my brother's OPO with jgcaap rom and boeffla kernel, but with the kernel that comes with the rom there is no problem, charging at full speed.

So I got the device today, set it up, rooted, and I thought I would share a couple of thoughts about the device.
First, Always On Display (AOD) was there initially, but the day one system update removed it, leaving only the option to have the screen wake up when you pick up the phone or a notification arrives, I wonder why remove a feature on day 1....
There is no way to show battery percentage in the status bar.
Navigation bar is always white even when using a dark / black app, looks really bad.
A lot of settings have been moved around, and generally the settings app does not feel like stock, the Razer phone managed to add extra options while still feeling and looking stock like, I would not call Oxygen OS stock like.
Adaptive brightness is all over the place and feels like a beta product.
I really really wish it had wireless charging.
I will keep this post updated as I find more things worth noting.
On the positive side.
Fingerprint and face unlock are incredibly fast.
Phone feels really smooth and fast.
I really like they include the advanced reboot option in dev settings.
Camera looks really promising, tho I only tested so much for now.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Battery life is awesome for me.
I jusdt got my oneplus 6 64 gig mirror black variant today. Charged it upto 98% and started playing around with it. The UI is familiar coming from a 3t but the lack of hardware navigation keys is a learning curve for me. Anyways what I could notice immediately is how good the battery life on active usage is. I've been watching videos on youtube and Amazon Prime and also some Facebook and so far managed to drain the battery to 66 percent with almost 4 hours of screen time. My 3t could only manage around 5.5 hours of screen time with the same sort of usage. This is just mind blowing. And all this was on 4g lte the whole time.. Thinking of rooting and unlocking the bootloader to get magisk working but I guess I'll just wait for the official twrp so that I can take a nandroid backup before doing anything else.
I agree with all of this. I feel the same way.
I Set the Phone up, then it went off and now it's in a boot loop, screen shows noisy green lines sometimes. Full wipe doesn't solve the problem and the support is not in the office now.
I'm really fed up.

You and 99% of this forum. Why include a glass back with no purpose other than to look fancy and break from the other 9 phones OnePlus has put out?
I read in another one of the threads that they are going to be adding the battery percentage toggle for the status bar in the next update.

Makes sense, easy software fix, but seems really like they rushed the device to market before finishing the software
For AOD, I believe they removed it to be able to test further and ensure there is no screen burn-in (something along these lines) and will re-add it in a future update (assuming testing goes well).

No, really, not 99%.
It's just a gimmick. Is the 2 seconds needed to plug a USB cable in to your phone such a great hardship that you'd rather wait 3-4 hours charging, instead of 1 hour needed with Dash Charge (or whatever OnePlus have decided to call it now)?
Really?

we found the 1% lol. But honestly, I really do miss this feature. Sure, dash change is a game changer. But the ease at night of night having to fumble for a cable is nice. Or while at work just to drop it on a pad. It would cost them next to nothing to put a coil in the phone to do this. Those who only use dash can be happy, and wireless charger addicts will be happy. Just a mistake...
For me the phone is decent, the vibration motor is a little weak IMO (coming from a S8). It is fast and the screen is ok. I do miss the S8 screen a bit though. Camera is great IMO. I like it better than the S8 in most cases. My battery life hasn't been great but I think a widget or something was causing the drain. VoLTE seems to drain the battery fast. Just initial thoughts. An upgraded 2k screen, wireless charging and using the ear piece speaker as a dual speaker would have made this the perfect smartphone of 2018. But it is growing on me.

Bro, I've seen you all over the forum spouting nothing but dislike and disappointment and advertising the next big thing by Xiaomi. I believe your exact words were "A Bit Underwhelmed".
We have different lifestyles and choices. Some of us work at a desk, using their phone often, it would be nice to just drop the phone next to whatever you're doing and have it charge. Not everybody has access to a cable manager or wants to keep a USB cable sitting out next to their work area for when they need a fast charge.
Or like this gentleman said, maybe some of us don't want to fumble around at home or at night for the charger.
We have our own opinions.
Just an observation coming from 5t the new op6 charging cable feels lot more thicker

Signal penetrates glass much easier than metal, so your signal should be better with this device as opposed to other metal devices.

^^ this. The whole wireless charging is the dumbest crap. 10 min on dash charge is the equivalent of 45 to an hour on wireless charging dock. I mean if your port went bad I could understand it but how the hell often does that happen? And if you're able to connect a wireless charger to an outlet, you can plug in your dash charger and be done soon much faster.

Wireless charging means less stress on the battery meaning it loses capacity more slowly, great for overnight charging, plus you don't wear out the charging port. Really wish it had a metal back as a single drop may mean serious damage. Going to have to use a case for the first time ever, sigh
