I'm not sure which one has an issue, it could be my 1+ cable, the phone's battery, or the 1+ AC charger.
Basically, my 1+ cable no longer charges my phone when connected to the 1+ AC Charger. But works fine when using my powerbank. So I am assuming that my 1+ cable is defective. So swap cables, now using my Nexus 5 Cable and it charges my phone using the 1+ AC charger, but its very slow. I checked on batter monitor its only maxing out upto 1.7A then reaches 80% charge, it went down to only less than 1A (800mah). Is that normal? Or the 1+ ac charger is defective?
I also noticed that previously when using the 1+ cable and 1+ ac charger, my phone charges up so fast. It can finish charging in 1.5 hours. But not its 3-4 hours to fully charge.
So I'm confused now which is which or maybe the phone's battery is defective? Hope someone can shed light onto my issue. Thanks! :good:

My Samsung Droid Charge charger has an OUTPUT of the same voltage and 700 MILI amps.
My Blackberry Bold charger OUTPUT has the same voltage but is 1 AMP output... or 1,000 MILI amps.
If I use the Blackberry charger in my new Samsung Droid Charge will that mess anything up in the Samsung? could it shorten the life of the battery?
Thanks!
sure can, including wall chargers and car chargers
well if the amperage doesn't match exactly couldn't that mess up the Droid Charge?
it should be fine...but you might confuse your phone into thinking that it is a cutting edge smartphone circa 2006
If the power output of the charger you want to use is rated at less than what the OEM one is, you would only damage the charger itself if it isn't made properly.
The phone will pull a specific charge from the charger, say 500mA as an example. If the charger is rated at 400mA and doesn't have wiring to prevent an over-draw, you will damage the charger, especially if you use it for extended periods of time. If the charger does have circuitry to prevent over-drawing power, you'll just charge the phone slower. If you use a charger rated at 1000mA and the phone pulls down 500mA, using a higher rated charger doesn't make the phone charge faster as it will still just pull the 500mA. You'd just be less likely to damage the charger using one rated for more than what the device will accept.

I had purchased a usb cable a couple of years ago on kijiji for my BB bold back then because I didnt have a charger for it. Then I got the S3 and one time I randomly used the BB cable connected to the S3 charger via USB, I noticed the phone charged WAYY faster than the normal S3 cable does. Now I got an S4, and it still charges a lot faster than the normal cable for it. In fact I'm charging both my S3 and S4 at the same time right now, the S3 with normal cable charged from 4% to 15% in the exact same amount of time my S4 charged from 48% to 72% with BB cable. Does this mean I'm damaging my charger that's connected to the BB cable?

If by charger you mean that little box that plugs into the wall, that is actually a power supply. It just converts 120VAC 20A to 5VDC and whatever current it specifies. Also the stock s4 uses qualcomm quick charge, which means that if you use the stock power supply with the s4, it will charge at up to twice normal speed, provided you have a compatible cable (which it seems the BB cable is).

I have had my Verizon Galaxy S4 since February of this year. I've been using the stock Samsung AC charger that came with it. It's always charged the phone pretty fast if I wasn't using the phone. It would charge about 15% in 20 minutes. Now it's only charging about 3 or 4% in 20 or 30 minutes. Now I didn't do anything different to my phone. I've been on this same ROM for over a month and this is just now a problem in the last week. My wife has the exact phone and charger that I have and when I use her charger it charges just as rapidly as mine used to, so I know it's not the usb port on my phone itself. I haven't dropped or damaged my charger at all in any way either.
Does anyone have any ideas about why this is happening?
If it charges fast on you wife's charger you've pretty much answered your own question.
Try using her cable with your charger, if it still charges slow then get a new charger.

Ok, I'll give that a shot. Thanks.
I had the same problem too ! Did a full battery reset and everything is going good now !
You have to charge it for 12 hours and drain your battery until your phone don't boot. Charge it and here you are !
Yeah these devices act funky every blue moon. My wifes didn't even recognize ANY oem charger for a week. Only detected others as USB devices causing slow charge rate. Removing dust, component cleaner, fresh install, all did no good. Eventually it just resolved the issue itself. All chargers work normally again.
change the usb cables
I also had the same problem before. I'd been using the original charger and usb cable and noticed that charging takes a lot of time than normal.
I found that it's on the usb cable. I accidentally found it when I used gsam battery monitor. It displays the current being received by your phone when charging. Using the original usb cable, it only gets around 600mah. I tried another usb cable (from a previous Samsung device) and now my phone gets 1,900mah (closed to the charger output of 2,000 mah).
Every since I changed the usb cable, my charging is fast now. Hope this helps.
I would try a new cable and Charger that is rated 2.1 amps or better if will be charged real quick

I noticed that using the Pure Nexus rom my charging time became significantly faster. In fact I can get a full charge from nearly dead in just over an hour. This is using the charger and cable that came with the phone.

How do you make full battery reset?
The charging rate is based on the output rating of the charger, which is determined by the resistance value between the Data+ and Data- USB pins. If you use a cheap cable with high(er) internal cabling resistance, that will throw off the detected charger output capacity rating, and knock you down to a lower charging current and longer charging time.
Also, one time, even with the original charger and original cable, I couldn't charge at anything more than the default USB 500mA. I ended up having to power off the phone, and power it on again, which fixed the charging current and speed problem.
Install this app & check if it is getting charged at max current; anything less than 1200 mA when screen on & 1900 mA when screen off, you need to change your cable or charger

I read somewhere that if you activate airplane mode the battery is charging faster.
Ok, so I have my Nexus 5 for about 8 months, but the charger that came with it doesn't work properly anymore.
Just after I got it, and few months later, the charger worked pretty well, and I also have a small amp meter that is connected into charger's usb port to measure Volts, amps and mAh, and when new, it pushed about 1.7 amps of current (it is rated to 1.8), and charged the phone in about hour and a half from 5% to 100%. Right now, the charger gives only 0.4-0.5 ams of current and charging time varies from 3 to 3.5 hours!
Has anyone experienced this problem?
Is an LG G2 (2.2amp) or G3 charger safe to use, as I tried G2 before and it charged the battery in less than an hour, without heating the device.
Also, I frequently leave my charger plugged in wall socket all day long, and it's plugged in without using more than it is plugged out (just when carrying it somewhere). Maybe that's why it degraded over time...
I recently purchased ADATA PV110 power bank and I noticed a charging problem with my Galaxy S6. I noticed that both 1.0A and 2.1A outputs charge with the same speed, I did some tests and it takes roughly 2 minutes to charge 1%. So I tried it with my Samsung travel adapter which is 2.0A output and it takes about 1.10 minutes to charge 1%. Am I doing something wrong?

Is the power bank compatible with fast charge otherwise nothing is wrong it will chargw at the normal rate.

I don't think it is, but I just tested something and it turns out that different usb cables might affect the charging, I tried charging with the cable provided in the box and it charged 1% in 1.3 mins then I tried original samsung cable and it took whopping 5 minutes! What the hell? I thought it is the same with the usb cables as it is with the HDMI ones (different cables doesn't affect the performance). It turns out that it does with the usb.
Hey,
Recently I've got a OnePlus 6 but it came without any charger. So I have bought a 30W warp charger which was taken from the OnePlus 7 Pro box. It charges and works fine till the battery is charged to 65%. After 65% it stops charging and I have to switch to some other regular charger or charge it via USB port from my laptop. to charge the battery from 65% to 100%.
I have cleaned the connection on phone, I've tried another cable but the result is always the same. Battery optimization is turned off.
I need your help: What can cause this problem and how I can fix it? I don't have a chance to test it with another warp charger, since I don't have access to other ones. and it is very uncomfortable for me to charge with two chargers -_- Please help...
