========================================
hi there, here's another frustrating experience from ASUS.

here is the situation:
phone purchased on nov 5
everything working fine until December 2nd
phone not charging using company provided charged from Dec 3rd
tried restarting, didnt work
tried factory reset, didnt work
phone not charging with a spare samsung charger either
but phone charges if i connect to laptop with the company provided type c cord
no information anywhere on the internet on how to resolve (similar discussions were closed on this forum)
call center: totally unaware of this issue and giving very noob advice like switch off/on and/or trying to diagnose the situation without understanding the concern
service center unreachable (bangalore)
unable to return phone because product return window has expired
So basically, after spending more than $750, im stuck with a brick that requires 8 hours to fully charge each time and no support anywhere on the service center, customer care or retailer.
I have never in the past heard of such an issue with any phone (let alone experience it)
Appreciate speedy support on this matter

Regards,
Vasanth

@PH wow! so there's no resolution to this? have you tried visiting a service center? what do they say?

@vasanthbalachandhran Have you tried with another cable as well?
I'm sending you a potential fix via PM, but if that does not work I'd like to collect a device log so our engineers can take a closer look.

@Gustav_ASUS just some more context before i respond to you.
Yesterday, later in the day after switching multiple chargers and cords (to figure out the source of the issue), i suddenly noticed the ++ sign on the battery while charging from my laptop. In battery settings it said 'quick charging'. I had no idea what i did differently and I switched back to the original rog 3 charger and it was quick charging (yay!)
Tried connecting multiple times to the charger during the day to ensure it wasnt a one-off thing and each time i was able to charge. When i woke up in the morning today however, the same issue was back (rog charger not charging the phone). It was mind boggling as i dont know what changed overnight.
Going through the discussion board on similar topics, I was hoping for Gustav to respond. And he did. And how!
Gustav - Your solve worked for me. After downloading the apk file and running in the phone switched off. When i rebooted i was (and still am) able to quick charge.
I feel like this solve should hold but i will swing back in a day or two and update you if it isnt.
Quick question for you: have you seen instances of where this solve has worked but the issue returns somewhere down the line?

regards,
Vasanth
