I understand how you feel..My LG Stylo 4 has started having problems with charging also. Only 6 months months oldđ˛Charges Very slow or not at all.I only use charger,that was included. I've been boost customer for 15-20 yrs. Last 2 phones has gave me issues with charging.In my opinion,I think it's something with USB cord.Had to buy new USB cord for last phone. Guess is made Cheap! SUCKS BOTTOM LINE! BC This phone was not free or cheap.
