Basically, my LG Env won't charge.
The little peice that cover's the place were you plug the cable into the phone is broken off, but does that effect it?
It charged earlier, but the cable had to be in some weird angle, and now it's not charging at all. : (
Am I going to have to replace my phone, get my phone fixed, or buy a new charger for it?
Help, Please! : (
Well i dont have any long term ansa but here is a short term one while you find a new charger.
Take the charger and dismantle the end that plugs into fone. you should have 2 wires a black & white or black & red. Leave the blobs of solder on the end of the wires as this helps. Leave the wall socket end of charger in tact.
Take your battery out of fone. As with a normal battery you will see a (+) and (-) sign on it. Attach the black or darkest wire to the negative (-) metal square on the battery and the white or lightest wire (maybe red) to the positive (+) metal square on the battery (after trial & error i found a clothes peg to be the best form of attaching it). Leave attached for 15 minutes and this will give you around an hours usage when you put the battery back in the fone. If you leave it overnight then it will be on all day.
Basically you are making the circuit without the fone which bypasses your pin problem. Any charger will work with any fone as the charging components are in the wall end. Just make sure the voltage is compatible ie, 5v fone charger replacing 5v charger etc. Although majority of chargers are 5v.
I know this works cos i did it to mine last nite as i needed to ansa my emails. Really simple but a little drastic like i said but if the pin connector is broke anyway wot you got to lose?? I am a girl so if i can do it anyone can lol!!
Only drawback is you cant use the fone while it is charging unless you have 2 batteries and you use one while the other charges which is what i am doing. In fact i might not buy a new charger lol, i dont need one now ive found this method works.
Happy charging!! Hope this helps! Gail-michelle
Cut off end of charger. Expose red and white wire. I attached alligator clips and then attached red to pos (+) and white to neg. (-) On the vx9900, of the four contacts, outside right is positive outside left is negative.
This is a universal cell phone battery charger. Get it if Verizon the crappy company will not make it right!

PS I hate verizon... ATT has better coverage.
Mine did it to your charger port is broke take it back to verizon and they will give you a new one no charge
That's what is happening with my enV
i put the charger in and nothing happens at all.
and just to warn whoever gets a refurbished one...they are so messed up. this is my 3rd refurbished enV
I have a LG rumor 2 and it wont charge and i have the right charger...i have to keep it on the charger all day and if i take it off it will go dead........anyone know what i should do?????????
They will charge you $50 if it is out of warranty
My phone wouldn't take a charge. As a last resort I tried the tooth brush thing someone else posted and it worked great'
A good answer to this is simply to try a Samsung charger. My dad has an Android that he uses a Samsung charger for, and it works for my LG enV2 which will not charge unless plugged into it.
I tried splicing the wires directly to the battery (look at the above solutions) and that seemed to work only when its not plugged in the charger light is on. is that normal lol?
Same thing happened to my phone! I had to do all sorts of contortions to get the phone to charge, then eventually nothing worked. got a new phone and a new battery and a new charger. Luckily mine was under warranty, so didn't have to pay. POOR design as this recurring problem clearly shows.
Man i just had the same damn problem got a envy took it to verizon cuz it blew up my charger trippen i took it to the place the guy took a tooth brush brush it against the thing were u insert your charger at it come on but my phone was dead nowo it wont come on its on the charger. anybody know what to do?

i have the same problem and dont know what to do i just bought a new battery and charger and it will ship in a few days maybe it will work. someone plz help
My enV won't charge. I put the charger into the phone and nothing happens, the charger is really loose and keeps falling out of the phone.
Have the same problem, charger port is broke, had phone for about 8 months.I took it back to Verizon and they mailed me a new one, 2-3 day delivery. I have had new(refurbished) one for 2 months and this one broke already!
well mine is actullay a samsung telus and i put
the charger in working fine and nothin happend so tonight i am going to switch th battery with one that is charged
Yes! My phone does the same thing. It's gotten so bad that I need to yank it at such a hard angle (just so that it could charge) that it emits this high-pitched sound. That can't possibly be good for it either. So I am either damaging the phone just so I can talk on it, or have it completely dead and useless. Shame, because I really prefer this phone over the LG Chocolate I replaced with this.
my lg would not chang, i have to hold it at a angle for it to charge. not it is at the point where it wont charge at all, no matter how or where i hold it. are there any other ways to charge my phone without going to the sprint store
I have the same problem....i tried to do what was suggested with the charger, but I have three wires and they are all the same color..please help
MY FONE DOES THE EXACT SAME
FOR THE PAST 2 NIGHTS I HAD TO ANGLE IT SO IT WOULD CHRAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND NOW IT WONT CHRAGE AT ALL
I have had this happen to me twice within two months of two different phones. The Env2 model but different phones. Also the space doesn't work.
My phone (same type) randomly stopped charging one day during a week when I really needed it. I tried moving the charger around and found that it charged at a weird angle (i held the part of the charger that plugs into the phone and let the weight of the phone press down on that part). then my charger broke. what now?
My verizon env will not charge , even from an angle .
the phone wont charge idk what to do now
SAME FOR ME!! I HAD TO HOLD THE CHARGER AT AN ANGLE SO THE PHONE WOULD CHARGE THEN IT BROKE THE CHARGER AND I NEED MY PHONE BADLY!! how much are new batteries?!
That happened to mine, just last night. I don't think it has anything to do with the charger, but its based upon the charging port. After a while, it just stops working. Therefore, I don't think buying a new charger will help. I would take it back to Verizon, but I can't get a new one no charge, because my contract is up in two months and my phone is out of warranty.
i seriously thought i was the only 1 having to d weird stuff in order to charge my phone! i was so pissed with having to buy new chargers that i googled help and i came across this site, it seems as if every1 has the same xact problem! im pissed! i hope if n e 1 plans on purchasing this garbage phone they'll do the research first. i no better now
My phone sucks and its two years old. you canget a loner phone if you go to verizon or get a free upgrade phone
OK, the littel peace INSIDE the phone is broken, iv had 2 of these phone broken like this in 2 months. You have to take it to the store because eventually the "Wierd Angle" charging will change into no chrage at all because the peace inside will eventually break off.
Soz but just take it to the store.
i hate my stupid *** env
I am on my 3rd lg env phone...One I just got on tuesday and today its thursday. This has happened to me twice in the past month! I have seriously had the phone not even 3 days and already the charge port is broken. My first one i had to put the cord in a weird angle then it just stopped working. The second one the charging port completely fell out and now this one just stopped!
I've had my enV since christmas! it use to charge fine until bout 2weeks ago..it started being all weird...it would charge then stop..then the piece of my charger broke off so i got a new charger and i use to have to put it at sum weird angle.last night i stayed up til 1:00 in the morning holding it in there cuz it stopped..now i t wont work at all and my phone is dying!
my problem is the same! i plug in my charger, its realllyyyy loose, and wont do anything, my phone is sooooooooooo dead, it turns on just to say verizon wireless,then turn off. i get a new one in june because the 2 year contract is up..but i still need the info(contacts,pics,videos,etc.) from my env! and i dont wanna not be able to turn it on before i get another one! ive tried my dads charger because its the same, but it still WONT charge! my dad looked at it and he said it was the phone since his charger wouldnt work in mine but it was the same.. :( im sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sad! i dont have the enV 2, i have the 1st one.....
