Coming from the S4, the first thing I noticed right off the bat was the charging time of the S6. The S6 takes MUCH longer to fully charge than the S4. We're talking like 2-3hrs difference. It's ridiculous.

Um no, are you trolling?
Make sure you FULLY plug in the USB connector to the fast charging wall wart. It will charge slow if not fully seated

Umm... mine. Charges from 0 to 100 in about an hour on the fast charger.
I get to 60% by 30min

OP you are doing something wrong. The S6 charges fully in about an hour.
Can you describe your charge set up? Are you using the fast charger with both phones or just a regular charger?
I'm assuming you would not be comparing the S4 on a wired charger to the S6 using a wireless charger.

I read that the screen has to be off for the fast charging to work. The first day I used my S6, the battery literally didn't move while I had it plugged in and was playing around with it. Over like 3 hours it didn't gain or lose a percentage.
Now that I can set it down for more than an hour, it will fully charge in that time.
Are you using the appropriate USB cable?
I know my old Samsung cables can't do more than 0.3 amps.

Cocaine is a helluva drug. You're probably not using the fast charge wall plug.
You are using the wrong charger.... Use one with the rated amp/voltage required.
You are either using the wrong charger or on some drug that really slows down time. The S6 goes from 0-100% real quick (1hr 25min).

It seems to charge pretty fast from the A/C charger but plugging it in to your Pc seems to take FOREVER.
Mine takes forever charging no matter what. Ive put it on the charger at 50% and it took 3hours ish to get back to 100%. Granted my phone could probably go two days with four hours of on screen time too.
Granted I can't speak for stock because I rooted asap. I mainly use AC 95% too. Not sure if how much root affects it, I'm on synergy (awesome btw).

mathematically yes. My old droid x charged at a max 750ish mA. The S3 charges at 1000mA
It is just you...
In my case at least.

Charging on AC is really fast for me too. Car charging and PC charging not so much.
GNEX was my fastest charging smartphone...but also had the worst battery life.

I am betting it's because most of us have 1amp or 2.1 amp chargers available in the car. I, personally, still use the motorola 950mAh car charger, which speeds thru the charging process too.
USB still pumps out 500 mAh at best, always gonna be slow.
None of this has to do with the phone, btw.
Slow charging for me. But its random. Sometimes its decently quick but other times it takes forever to charge. Fastest phone to charge for me was the OG droid.

There is a thing in the charging port that only the samsung charger activated that allows charing upwards of 1000 when using normal micro usb only does 300.
If you download imosyens leankernal he developed it into the kernal that you go to terminal editor and put "ffc"and charger will go as fast as thr samsung one.

Lol I'm the opposite. Coming from a Galaxy Nexus this phone charges much slower. Galaxy Nexus would be fully charged in maybe an hour and a half. With the GS3 it's closer to 3 hours for a full charge. Hear it's the low-power brick that comes with it though.

Yep. For example, the Motorola SPN5400A will charge the S3 in about 1\2 to 1\3 the time it would take if plugged into a USB port. I honestly believe it's because it has quality internal circuitry. Hell, at .95 mAh it charges quicker than most 2.1mAh chargers. Again, has nothing to do with the phones, it's the chargers that come with.
mine charges pretty quick as well. best phone ive had hands down.

3 hrs seems off. I think I could wire mine to my electric razor and charge it faster
From the I-killer
Just for info, my wireless energizer pad and Verizon wireless door charge faster than the factory charger. And my factory charger will charge between 1.5 and 2 hours from 3% or 4%.
If you are taking over 2 hours I would check the battery and make sure it isn't swollen or something wrong with it. As far as usb most ports are "as stated above" not going to supply juice fast enough to charge quickly.
And it's probably worth seeing if something is on thats sucking power, Bluetooth, gps, facebook, anything that sync's alot. And using almost as much power as the usb is putting out.

My gear 2 only seems to charge on Samsung chargers fast or plugged into a pc. If I use another type of charger, even the 2amp ones, it charges slow and doesn't even indicate that it is charging.

Even though you found a charger that is fast charging it, I am wondering if maybe it is safer not to do this. The fact that the watch came with a 0.5A charger would suggest it may have issues charging fast (for example, over-heating concerns which may shorten the life of the watch). I could be completely wrong, but the difference to Samsung in cost with a 0.5A or 2A charger is probably pennies...so they must have done this intentionally.
Seems like it's charging super slow for some reason. I'd do some troubleshooting maybe it's the power source or something if anyone having the same issue please let me know how you guys fix it.

Ok, so oddly enough, I noticed the exact same issue last night. I did a few searches online, and found something interesting. According to one of the sites I visited, the fast-charging only kicks in when the battery is below a certain level, 15% I believe. Then, as it's charging and the percentage rises, the charging slows down. Long story short: the lower your battery is, the faster it'll charge. I guess Sammy didn't want to burn out your Note 5 battery by fast-charging all the time. I'll try to find that article and post it here for you!
Note: I let my phone drop into the low teens last night, and sure enough, it began fast-charging as soon as I plugged it in. Maybe it's just coincidence though...who knows.
Edit: Here's the article: http://www.gottabemobile.com/2015/08/20/5-quick-chargers-for-the-galaxy-note-5-s6-edge-plus/
That's false, actually it will fast charge on any percentage level.
Right now I'm at 10% and it says cable charging, sometimes I'll be at 90% and it will say fast charging. No fix yet? I do know if you unplug and plug back in several times it will say fast charging. Sometimes one time, sometimes 4-6 times...

I have the same issue. Tried different kernels. Haven't tried switching roms though. I'm on breakdown v3. Rom isn't the issue though. No idea what is going on
Maybe it's the cable? I had to get a new one. Like I burned the old one up.
My cousins note 5 wouldn't fast charge, and I told him to swap out the cable, and boom it worked again.
So, seemingly, we have a sudden burst of people with this issue. I guess the OEM cable has a couple month life expectancy lol
Yup, cable
I've noticed this issue too. I just keep plugging it in until it fast charges (usually 5 or 6 times). Not a great workaround, but it works.
Mine has thus problem too , but if I use the same USB cable and the charger that came with my Note 3 it at least charges at regular speed, but with the fast charger and same cable I get less than that .
My indian note 5 has the same problem. Sometimes it fast chargesvand sometimes not. I went to Samsung service center and got the charger replaced. Now it is workinf fine.
I tried using the cable that came with my Note 4, and now it works fine. It's a longer cable, maybe that has something to do with it.
It's clearly not dependent on being at a certain percentage considering mine is fast charging right now and it's at 57 and will continue to fast charge until full or at least display a notification that it's fast charging until it's full.
In all my testing it's the cables. I have 4 power adaptive blocks that came with various models including N4, S6E, S6E+, and N5. All the blocks work with my N5 as long as I use the USB cable from my Note 4. If I use a cable from the S6E, S6E+, or the N5 it doesn't fast charge. The N4 cable is much beefier then the newer cables. Maybe they are just making cheaper cables nowadays. The N3 charger was beefier then the N4 charger although that's kind of expected being usb 3.0.
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk
Is it the cable or the adapter that determines the fast charging??? For instance can I use my longer thicker note 4 cord with the new note 5 base and get fast charging?
I think the USB cable that comes with the Samsung fast chargers is faulty. I have 2 fast chargers, 1 from the S6 edge and 1 from the Note 5 and neither one of them will fast charge with the supplied usb cable. I can use any other usb cable and fast charging will work, it just won't work with the Samsung cables.

I'm using an Anker Quick Charge 3.0 charger to charge this device.
Meanwhile thanks to the QI technology I also charge my Galaxy S6 and iPad mini with the same charger.
The funny thing is although A9 have the smallest battery capacity it charge the slowest, like, 1% every minute, which is ridiculous.
I wonder anybody else experienced similar problem?
Oh by the way the battery life is far from satisfactory, I'm a heavy user who look at my phone every 10 minutes, I need to charge it twice a day. To be honest, S6 is a great phone, it's more vivid screen and wireless charge always make me feel a big mistake to switch over, although it doesn't have Android 6.0 . sadly I really need latest Android badly so I cannot stick to it.
Attaching a screenshot of battery history here, just for reference.

Quick charge 3.0 will be available via a software update, right now it only supports quick charge 2.0 out of the box.

I early pre-ordered an A9 in red. It of course won't be here for a while. I too use Qi charging a lot and am now contemplating either an S6 or a Note5 or perhaps an LG G4 modded for internal Qi.

Experiencing same problem. Bought a QC 3.0 adapter, I only got from 6% to 43% in 32 mins. Even at Quickcharge 2.0 speeds, 1.16%/minute seems pretty slow especially when compared to the advertised "0% to 60% charge in 30 minutes." (Lies.....)

How can you tell what mode you're in? How can you tell if you're in Quick Charge? I thought one of the feature in Marshmallow is it will tell you when you're in Quick Charge or normal charge. I saw that in Nexus 5x and 5p but not in the A9. Does anyone know how to turn this feature on?
When you plug the phone into a charger, it turns Power Save off automatically...been doing this since the M9 or earlier.

So the last few weeks my S8 has been charging really slow.. it doesn't actually say 'Slow Charging', it still pops up with Fast Charging when plugged in (original charger with no damage).
It used to charge from pretty much dead to full in about an hour or so but now it's completely different. When I plug it in from about 20% it says around 2 hours to fully charged with fast charge.
Anyone else had this issue? My charger seems fine, always treated it well etc. My carrier (EE) has told me to contact Samsung but I just thought this would be worth a shot first.

I am experiencing the exact same problem with my s8 plus. Its just been the past few weeks. I've tried switching out the cable and the AC adapter and nothing. I think I read somewhere that a recent update killed fast charging on some s8 plus models so I'm hoping that If it is a software issue it will be fixed when they roll out the next update. Otherwise I don't know what to do.
