I just noticed yesterday that the phone doesn't charge correctly when charged with a USB cable from a computer or car charger . It'll charge for a few minutes then it'll stop charging.. I've tried 2 different ROMs and it's done it with both. Has anyone seen this before? This is on the latest crdroid and mahdi.
That's because a usb charge can't send enough current to the phone to charge correctly.

I too have a similar problem with USB charging. It doesn't charge at all from a computer or car charger.
No solutions/more info in sight yet...

Curious. I've been charging it through the USB/Electrical outlet charger overnight and have yet to hear a beep.
Also, when I plugged in the micro-USB cable to my USB port the charging indicator went on, but even though I left it overnight it didn't charge. Has this happened to anyone else?

I haven't noticed it beep at all. And that seems a bit odd, have you tried using a different charger/charged anything else on that charger?

Yeah, I don't think it beeps when it gets full which might be an oversight. I've never had a phone not do that before.
As far as charging off the USB port, I was trying to charge off a powered USB hub, and the phone clearly indicated it was charging (even though after leaving it was mostly empty). I'll try charging it off my PC's USB port and see if that works- only thing there is that I have to leave my PC on to charge it though.

I'm the opposite -- I've never had a phone that's beeped when it's fully charged. That would be annoying. The Nexus 5 doesn't beep when it's fully charged. If it did, I would find a way to disable it! It would disturb me at night!

I think the beep when charging is a Samsung thing. I had a Galaxy S2 and S3 and they both did it.
I hated that feature so much! It was the only reason I had to mute my phone at night. I'm pretty sure if I plug in my phone over night it will fully charge, I don't need my phone to wake me up in the night to brag about it!
My nexus 5 started chargning very slowly lately, and it shows that it is charging through USB, altough it is connected to a wall charger.
I tried a different charger/different usb cable - same results.
What can I do?
Maybe it has something to do with the recent 4.4.4 update?
Thanks

well it keeps happening, and I have to plug to phone to a pc everytime for a sec and then back to the wall charger for it to charge in a decent speed....
what can I do?
yeah, I have same problem. my nexus 5 after 4.4.4 update charges veeeery slow. after 2 hours it charges maybe 20% even if the phone is switched off. can someone help? should I do downgrade to 4.4.3?
btw. Im using stock rom, kernel, recovery,etc. no mods at all. stock wall charger which came with my phone and tried other ones with no improvement.
thanks
I doubt it's a software issue, or a hardware issue with the battery. It's probably the cord and/or the charger going bad.
I tried several different chargers/cords(sony,nexus4,htc,samsung) and it was even worse

Ever since 4.4.3 USB charging has been slow. Wireless charging is 2x faster.

Exactly the same problem after 4.4.4 update.
My S6 is 2 weeks old today and I noticed that fast charging (using adaptive charger I got in the box) has stopped working
Yesterday at work I put my phone on charge and went back to it after 20mins and noticed it had stopped charging.
I thought maybe it the 2pin plug point so I changed plug points and it starts charging.
Come back later and it stopped charging.
Changed plug point again and the same thing happened.
Getting irritated I put it on my wireless charge mat instead.
Today I decided to test the charger and low and behold it's now working but it's charging at the normal rate.
I tested this by using my old S4 charger and I got the same time to full message.
Before when I plugged in my adaptive charger it said fast charging now it just says "Cable charging"
Do you guys think it's my phone or my adaptive charger?
I don't have another adaptive fast charger to test with
EDIT: I was running XtreStoLite ROM, I used ODin and reloaded the latest AOD8 Vodafone SA firmware but still fast charging isn't working.
I'd say it's the charger. There have been instances of them shorting. The last Note 4 I had did the same thing.
Perhaps a silly question, but am I right in thinking that the fast charging only works when the battery is below 20% or so? I tried plugging mine in yesterday when at 40% charge and it just said 'cable charging' (using the out-the-box charger and cable)

When you use the fast charger, it'll say fast charging no matter how full your battery is.

Geez boet, how much does an S6 go for in SA?
I am having the same problem with my S6.
The fast charge doesn't work afree a week.
Last night I plugged in @ midnight with the original charger and cable at 5% and all apps shut down
It said "charging" and not "fast charging".
530am....only 97%.
This is pretty frustrating. It seems to have stopped in the last couple days.
Thoughts?
If you connect the USB cable to your PC and it detects your phone, it's proof that it's the adaptive charger. It happened to me on my Note 4, and I had it replaced with the warranty. Problem solved. Try it and you won't have any more problems. Garanteed!

Thanks - have now realised that I had to push the USB cable extra hard into the charger - that switched it from showing 'charging' to 'fast charging'

Oddly...when I connect it to my computer...it charges (slowly of course).
But the computer never detects it.
Update
@Biggenz the S6 32gig is around the R9000 mark
@BoondckSaint try another Adaptive Fast Charger, apparently even the Qualcomm ones work too. If it still doesn't fast charge take it into SCC.
@alanjrobertson my problem started out like that, I'd have to unplug and re-plug the cable in then it would work. Now more often than not it just doesn't Fast Charge
So, I took my phone in to Samsung Customer Care and after trying numerous chargers my S6 would just say "Cable Charging" and never show "Fast Charger Connected" in the notification bar.
They tested my charger on another S6 and S6 Edge and they both worked fine and Fast charge was working. Had the correct "Fast Charger Connected" in the notification bar too.
I had to leave my S6 there and they will repair it. The technician said it's either the USB connector is faulty or the mainboard needs replacing.
I'm abit disappointed now as my s6 is only 2 weeks old and it's already had to be booked in for repairs.
Hopefully no such issues for me - it seemed to be very much linked to the USB plug at the charger end not being the whole way in but will be keeping a close eye on it!

Have you tried depleting battery all the way down until S6 goes off by it self? Then charge it while is off all the way to 100% or leave it all night. Then see difference. Also one hint which is not quite related to your problem,but just for people to know. Fast Charging is NOT working from 50% and up to 100%. This is normal. So Fast Charge works from 0%-50%,NOT ABOVE!

The Samsung Care Center replaced the USB port on my phone and its fast charging again perfectly. Wasn't anything to do with the battery thankfully.
Before replacing the USB port the phone always showed "Cable charging" whenever it was plugged into the fast charger.
Now it shows Fast Charging in the notification area.
I am also having the same problem with mine it can be seen in odin but no mtp no matter which computer i use ... (yes drivers were correctly installed) also not showing fast charging with stock charger and about 4 different cables that i know work with it in the past. My phones been flashed will this void my warranty for usb repair ?

I took mine in and they fixed it. This was at the Samsung centre in my city. Took them a week because they didnt have any USB ports at their branch and had to wait for it to be couriered from Johannesburg
I'm having the exact same issue with my S6. Only a couple of months old and only showing Cable charging and intermitantly stops charging. I'd say definitely charging port. I've tried the samsung fast charger, the sony z4 tablet fast charger, my aukey quick charge 2.0 car charger and my aukey portable quick charge 2.0 portable battery. Bit annoyed
Same issue here. comp does detect it then it drops over and over. same with whatever charger im using or cord. 2 months old 920W8.
i see one of these in my future.........................

This week when my phone hits red (<15%), I plugged it in with stock charger, didnt work. Tried different phone cable/adapter and worked. I thought cable was defective.
Next day it went down to say 40%, tried stock charger and it worked. What's going on?
For the record it was the same wall outlet.

If you are sure that your cable and adapter are not defective, then the cause lies with the OS on your device.
When you plug-in the charger, measure the charging current via application like Ampere to check if your charger is actually giving you any output or not.
If the same charger is working fine on other device, then only option left is to perform a factory reset.
Hy guys, as you can read my phone suddenly started not to charge. One day i was chatting on whatsapp and suddenly the phone turned off with 5% of battery remaining. Since that moment the phone is not charging. I change the battery and the usb port board but it is still not charging. It recognises that the usb cable is plugged in but it doesn't charge... i tried to charge it while in bootloader, recovery or with the phone turned off.. Nothing worked. I don't want to factory reset it since i have 11% of battery holding at that level thanks to the charger. DO you guys have any ideas? thanks....

Try using stock charger and stock usb cable. I also had the issue stock usb cable fixed it.
I am using the stock charger but my stock cable is destroyed. I have another cable that is really good, I have always used it and I tryed also different cables but still not charging... It just can't stop charging from one moment to another because of the cable, that cable is perfectly fine. Thanks anyway Any other suggestion?

I have someway managed to recover my old original cable but even if it says it's charging the battery is always at 0%. Therefore it's not the cable. Any other possible help??

I know how these things works and I have already tried different chargers and cable and stock ones as well and it is not a problem of charger or cable. Any other useful suggestion?
Make sure that when you replaced the battery, all the cables were clipped back in right.
