Hi All,
Is anyone having issues with their non-nexus 4 chargers charging on and off? When I plug my phone into my car usb charger (5V/1A), the charging icon flashes on and off; I didn't want to ruin the phone so I unplugged it. I googled it and saw this thead; someone mentioned that the N4 required a 2A charger so I wanted to see the experience here.

The charger I'm using: http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Micro-Auto-Charger-5VOLT/dp/B002F0200Q
Stock charger is 1200 ma.
My HTC car charger gives 1000 ma and works fine for my nexus 4.

I haven't had an issue with the charging going on and off, but I have been having an issue when I'm charging and using the phone with a non-LG charger. If I use the one that came with the phone, all is well... But if I use any other charger like my old one from HTC, the phone heats up real bad and I get horrible thermal throttling. I've tested it a few times, always doing the same thing (looking at XDA) and the LG charger is the only one that plays well with the phone while charging/using.

I just checked with another USB wall charger that I had which puts out only 500mA; that one works fine... so I guess my car charger is broken.
I've been using the charger that came with my nexus one and had no problems. The last couple days I've been charging off my PC because apparently slow charging is better for the battery.
Last week I updated my Nexus 5 to 4.4.4. Everything is fine except that my phone no longer charges using the official Nexus wireless charger. It was working fine before. I have tried my phone with other wireless chargers and it works fine. It is just with the Nexus charger which is connected to my car dash and is powered using the original cable. Nothing has changed except the update to 4.4.4. I am rooted but on Stock 4.4.4 and use Xposed.
I have rebooted but it does not help.
Any ideas?

I have the official nexus charger, an lg 3000 and one of the really super cheap Chinese chargers that stands up.
All 3 work in 4.4.4.
I am not saying "shenanigans" but I think there are some shenanigans. This is very likely a situation of something else changed that makes your official charger not work, having nothing to do with 4.4.4.
Check your setup. I'm sure everyone would seriously doubt an update, especially an extremely minor one, would cause wireless charging to stop working on just ONE type of wireless charger. Especially the official one. Hah

Tonight, I'll try rolling back to Stock 4.4.3 or a custom ROM and will report back if I get to the bottom of it.

I think it would be much easier for you to pull the nexus charger out of your car and bring it inside your place and plug it in to the wall and see if it works there.
FYI the official nexus charger will not work with a lot of power/usb cords because it requires a higher power than what some of them provide. It is also possible that through using it in your car the adapter for it might have became damaged.
Seriously.
Here is why I say this...My phone will charge on a wireless charging plate even with the phone turned completely off. Think about what that means for a second.
I did what you suggest. It charges fine so somehow my in car adapter had been damaged at the same time as my upgrade to 4.4.4.
I see your point about the charger working even without the phone being on. It means it is purely a hardware charging process. No firmware required, not related to Android.
Now I'll get a new adapter for the car and carry on.
Thanks

I am running a stock Nexus 5 with Lollipop. Since the OS update I have noticed that my Google wireless charging square (for the Nexus 5) will charge up the phone to 100%, but if left on the charger for some time, it then stops charging and lets the phone start losing charge and does not re-charge at any point. I have seen it do this now three days in a row where I leave the phone on the charger overnight and wake up to find it at 75-79% charge state. This never happened with Kitkat.
I also have a couple other non-Google Qi chargers and they do not have this issue. Anyone else seeing this?
Thanks
Yes. It will no longer charge wirelessly. I put it on the charger and it charges for a second then hops right back off. Currently it's on my desk flopping back & forth from charging/uncharging and making a god awful amount of noise.
This only started happening after I installed 5.0
I am using the official nexus wireless charger and it is working flawlessly in Lollipop on my nexus 5.
Mine is working but it is terribly slow and it heats up rapidly

Nexus 5 charge, 4 does not
I have a Nexus 4 and 5. The 5 chares on the Qi compatible charge but the 4 does not. The 4 cycles start/stops/starts/stops, etc. The only difference I know of is that the 5 was a wipe and install where the 4 was a upgrade from Kit Kat. Perhaps this is another of the bugs that is fixed with a wipe install?
Having the same problem. I have the original nexus charger, and 5 other Qi compatible chargers and all doing the same thing. Been getting worse and worse to the point where I can't even use one reliably with the case off.
This seems to be an issue on my Nexus 7 with Lollipop as well.....
a new battery from ebay, solved all my problems. Qi charger is working, battery life is back to normal. And the performance is increased back to where I would have expected.
Just upgraded my N5 to lollipop (clean flash) and my third party QI charger is working fine with my case on.
any one notice how the wireless charger blue light keeps blinking if the phone isn't in exactly in the right spot ??
I was considering buy one does it take forever to charge?

I tried laying a folded piece of paper in between my phone (caseless)and the charger and it worked as intended. I believe the magnetic field due to the phone being too close is too strong to maintain the intended current. Or vice versa. Using my case results in the opposite result. Not 100% sure, it's been 15 years since my electrical theory courses.
It works great for my wife and i and we have them both in different casses....
Mine wouldn't charge for more than a few minutes regardless of battery level. I tried it with a different cord/plug and it works fine. So my cord or plug is bad, but the charger is fine.
IT seems like it is the only problem with the wireless charging. I tried different 2AMP adapters and USB cords. I tried making sure the USB cord wasn't coiled and straight and vice versa. Tried the paper method, seemed ok but silly. I have a case coming soon. I put the Note 5 on 2 different QI chargers. Goes all the way up to 100. Its the charger/note 5 relationship. Not sure what it is. There are a couple other forums on them.
Experiment time....

This is way more picky on placement than my note 3 with the oem wireless back added.
Anyone else notice a relationship between wireless charging and notifications? It seems over night if I don't get any notifications, it charges no problem. However every time I wake up+ with a notification, the wireless charger is blinking, and my charge isn't full.

I got all my notifications last night no issues
I actually have been having problems, despite my optimistic previous post. I can't seem to get a bead on why, though. Problem seems worse with some of my electrical outlets than others. Turning on daydream seems to ensure a full charge, but then it doesn't turn off at 100% and gets warm. So, I dunno.
I took my Samsung circle piece of crap back doesn't seem to charge at a snails pace. Sprint rep ask "are you sure.you had it on there right?" Yea no no im not a damn idiot. Im ordering a qi stand hope it will at least charge overnight.
Right now only seeing good results on the Samsung wireless charging pad I have a duracell and it sounds to connect but no charge

I was at 2% when I placed the phone on the charger(free Samsung charger best buy gave) and it said it would be less then 2 hours for full charge
Having same issue phone starts to charge and when i get a text or email it quits charging have to completely remove from pad and put back on to start charging. Have not tried daydream option.. i unplugged it last night and used cord to charge.
I exchanged my charger and the new one has none of the issues I have been experiencing. Charges fully every time. No fiddling necessary. I should have done or sooner.
I will try different outlet but if it keeps up going to try to exchange it.
Yeah I tried different outlets, different cords. Eventually I talked to a Samsung rep in Best Buy who saps that Thai cam be fiddly, but what I was experiencing was not normal, Amma I should return it. So I did, and have had no problems since.
I ran some tests with Note5 and Nexus 7 and here is the result.
Samsung Wireless Charger: Note5 NG – Quits charging after few minutes, Nexus7 OK
Cheap wireless charger from Amazon: Note5 OK, Nexus7 OK
Anker wireless charger : Note5 OK, Nexus7 OK
Used 2 different brand new Samsung Wireless chargers with same results.
If I turn on daydream, Samsung charger works fine. But I don't want display on at night while I'm charging. I'm using the samsung charger for Nexus 7 and one of my other wireless chargers for Note5.
Update.
Used Samsung Adaptive fast charger wall plug with Samsung wireless charger and Note5 is charging normally without disconnecting. Weird..

Last night I upgraded to the latest firmware via ota AQF7 . Everything went smooth BUT ONE THING WHICH I NOTICE THAT THE FAST CHARHING IS NOT WORKING NOW IT ALWAYS SHOWS CABLE CHARGING AND CHARGING TIME IS ALSO 4 TO 5 HOURS. I am using the same charging and same cable which I have been using before. Can someone please confirm me is there any new security patch in the update which enables us now not to use cables except the original cables which came in the box?

I have that firmware really haven't noticed a difference. I charge mostly wireless though will plug in later and test but can you give a percentage as a baseline test.

AQEH did it to mine. Wonder if it broke the hardware? I will not be happy. Tempted to do a factory reset, just don't want to waste time if they fix it soon in a firmware.

1st of all: YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOUT...!
No problems at all with Fast Charging (Wireless & Adapter -> all original)
Who's your carrier? I'm on AT&T, and my fast charging still works fine with AQF7, using the original charger and cable (I haven't tried with any other accessories).
Fast charging still working with original charger and fast charges wirelessly as well (latest update on VZW)
Mine still works fine, using Samsung oem block cord and wireless pad
After update my phone won't charge shows it charging but keeps draining while plugged in. I'm with T-Mobile. This sucks. Hope they fix this soon.

Had the same issue yesterday. Switched to another cable and no more slow charge warning. Cable was nylon braided and gently used for under 30 days. Cheers
Factory reset did not fix my wireless charging. This will be my last samsung after all these problems with note5, note 7 and now S8+.
It's just that the cable is not fully in the charger. Push it back, it'll be fine

Same happened to me and i was using the S7 Edge fast Charger before the update, i have to buy the original S8+ Fast Charger and now everythings works smoothly.
Well , i had same issue with my S8 plus after updating the latest version and fast charging was gone , So i have plug in my original charger ans cable from Samsung and no fast charging.
So i have noticed my notification area that said charging but no fats charging, so i pressed that notification which let the battery screen pop up and something happen the battery went from 77% in one second to 83%
And the fast charging was started to show up.
Try is solved my problem.
