How about a custom kernel with fast charge? Are you using the stock wall adapter and USB cable? Their outputs matter

If everything fails, flash stock back on... See if it still does it. If it does, its cord, charger or USB port is damaged and loose.

Before I got this charge I ran nothing but HTC phones on tmobile. while being plugged into car charger and using gps the battery level goes down fast. It doesn't maintain the charge or add to it while navigating. Is this a samsung thing? Any remedies?

That cannot be right. Make sure your car charger, when it charges your phone, is pulling AC instead of USB.
GPS uses very little juice. Just get the 950ma Motorola charger from Amazon for 5 bucks. Something is messed up if your phone doesn't charge

I think you both are onto something. I'm gonna pick up new car charger, than see what happens..

Mine doesn't discharge, but it doesn't charge hardly at all. I'm using the Verizon dual port charger (the one that has a USB port on it as well as the standard charging end)

I use a Monoprice 2A USB charger with an OEM USB cable. Charges extremely slowly or just stays level, but never drains.

With GPS on, you barely Charge with that charger? I know its limited by the kernel at 800mA or so, but damn, that should charge you up fine.
I rock GPS in the car all the time and I still Charge pretty quickly...

All depends on what you're running at that time-4G, cell and GPS reception, etc.

Make sure you are using a high amp charger. I like the one from Motorola.
Even so, with 4g and the screen on - the phone charges slowly. Turn the screen off and it charges much quicker.

Idk what the problem is but when I charge my phone no charging indicator comes up, if I leave the screen off for a little bit and turn it back on the number increases as if it is charging also if I turn the phone off and plugin the charger it turns on the phone instead of going to the charging mode, anyone else witnessed this problem? I've tried 3 different chargers and the same thing, tried reformaormatting and installing a different rom and the same thing happens running matrix 19 kernal...please help?

How old is your phone? did you try a new cord? I its not likely that it's the kernel or the rom. It's more likely your usb port
Also never had that happen... I would also say port or cord...
Any themes installed or a flashed battery icon?

No, brand new install...my phone is a year old and its charging just not the way its supposed to, I would really hate to send my phone in, any ideas on how to clean clean the port? I've also tried different chords as well as wall outlets the first time it boots up after a fresh format/install it works perfect as soon as the phone shuts off or reboots it occurs
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2
I found out what it is, I have one of those wall outlet chargers with the USB extension for the chord and I think the wall outlet part of the charger is messed up because I can take the USB chord out of it hook it up to the laptop and the charging icon appears bit still charges with the wall just no charging icon WEIRD

Hello!
Recently, my phone has been charging very slowly. When I first got my phone, it went from zero to 100% in ~2.5 hours, but now it takes about 5 hours to fully charge. I am currently using the stock charger and USB cable that came with the phone, and I have tried other cables and chargers to ensure that it wasn't my charger's fault (or my USB cable). I also tried flashing the stock rom and kernel, but the problem was persistent. Could it be a defective battery that is causing this problem?
My current settings:
Mahdi Rom 4.4.3 6/12
Stock kernel settings (no UV, OC)
No partial wakelock problem
Thanks!

Take a look at the charging levels.. While charging via a wall charger it should be between 800-1050 mA.. If it's below that, it's most probably a low standard usb cable or a charger.. Try changing the cable first and check the current.
I'm getting around 600mA so that's not good.. I'll try another charger and see what goes. Thanks!

FYI, I am currently using the stock charger and cable that came with the phone and still getting low mA. I just tried different cables and chargers and the result comes out the same. What else can I do?

Aah.. That's not good. In the OP I see that you have already tried going back to stock and checking the results?
May be you could try a different wall socket in your home? You could also try charging via a computer and see whether it's getting charged properly? (Fast charge needs to be enabled for this)

i charge slow on the stock charger/cable as well. i ended up buying a 5amp charger with two usb holes and a better usb cable, now i charge from 0 to 100 in about an hour and a half.
Thanks for your help, guys! Turns out most of the cables I own are faulty/below standard. I found a cable later that charged my phone at around 800mA. I guess I'll do some cable shopping later

Could it be something to do with custom ROM settings? Stock charger and cable should be able to pull 800-1000mA from a power outlet, I can't understand why some devices wouldn't be able to do so.

No. The only thing that would influence charge speeds is USB fast charge (charges faster on USB, AC still the same) and that's a kernel level feature.

Something that was overlooked was temperature. IIRC at higher temperatures the phone either stops charging or slows down charging in order to keep the heat down. This was done to preserve the life of the battery as charging batteries while they're hot could degrade the battery.

no. ive found in the past(with the n4), the default cable/charger also went bad quick, ended up using a nexus 7 charger/cable on it.
Hey, I'm having a problem with my charging, a cable I used to work with for about 3-4 years is now not working well, need to push it to charge, but the problem is that on other phones it works without any problems, I thought its probably my usb port but when I tried other cables, some worked and some not(about 50/50) and I don't know if its the cable or the usb port, what should I do?
Thanks.
Try a different cable or treat yourself to a wireless charger

"some worked and some not", so any ideas?
Must be usb port. I'd just use the benefits of the nexus and get a wireless charger so the usb port is only used when really needed to save it

I have wireless charger but its not as useful as regular charger because you can't use your phone while charging(which is a big disadvantage..).
I have a problem.. everytime i plug in my phone to charge, its using standard charging. EVERYTIME. When that happens, I restart my phone which fixes the issue.. All cords are plugged in fully. I just dont understand this...
I had same problem just changed charging cable and fixed problem...i try connecting it again the note 5 charger after few days but still with cable charging and no go still using note 4 cable on note 5

Their has to be a problem with the Samsung usb cables. Both of my Samsung fast chargers only use normal charging when using the Samsung usb cable. But when I use a different usb cable fast charging works every time.

Thats ridiculous... so youre telling me that we bought a $750 device and expected that everything inside the box would work properly but instead some or all of the samsung usb cable is faulty?
Send it back for warranty?

I mean if the usb cable is the problem
Wouldnt the issue still persist...? I dont see why i would send my phone in to warranty..
I know I have usb cables all over the place so it's not really a issue for me. Plus I have a fast wireless charger also which works great too.
