My gf's S6 doesn't fast charge anymore. I have a S6 too and tried cables, chargers and different outlets so for sure that's not the problem. I've made sure the plug is all the way in so it's not that. I'm going to contact Samsung because we're still under the year mark but there is a small possibility some water may have gotten in the charging port. With 3 kids it's tough keeping your toys away from them all the time. Anyone hear of any issues with the fast charge not working? Most of the threads I could find about this issue is resolved with a new charger or just plugging it all the way.

I havent heard of any issues with id just take it in and dont say nothing about water.
noticed that there's no fast charge :/ stock USB cable with stock charger!! my previous S4 did charge faster :/
S6 have fast charge QI? I don't think so guys.
Check this, I am on 6.0.1 and not sure if there is an option on Lollipop, if you are on Lollipop. It's in the Battery settings.

Good evening everybody,
Appologies for attaching to this post but my question is about fast charging in G920F I own, too. When I use stock AC quick charger and stock Samsung cable, my phone charges quickly (not a surprise). But when I use stock quick charger and other microUSB cable (e.g. the one I got with the Chromecast 2), S6 charges in normal "slow" mode. Does this functionality depend on the cable?
Thanks in advance for a reply & best regards.

It depends on 3 things. The phone, the charger and the connection (th e cable). So yes, the cable is a crucial factor in utilising Fast Charge
Think of it as having a fast car, a driver comfortable with pushing the car to the limits, and the road being the cable. If the road isn't build for the speed (let's liken it to a country ally/road) you can't safely drive at top speed. So you drive at the safest speed you can with the road you have. That's what the phone and charger do. Rather than blowing the cable (which could happen), it just draws a smaller amount of power to keep everything safe.
Sorry for the big reply. I like to be as informative as possible in one go
Well I tried Samsung wireless quick charger and still no luck. Guess I'll have to send it to Samsung.
Not on Android 6, still on 5. Thanks though

I had the same thing happened to my S6 two weeks ago. It charged only slow way, even with a fast charger, and i tried few cables and solutions. At the end i took it to warranty and they replaced that whole board with USB port. It was done in 24 hours and now it works like new. They even gave me brand new Fast charger and cable for free. Good guy Samsung .

I have had about 5-6 of these.. every one I get my hands on is junk. When using the GPS, with the phone pluged in (non stock cable) I still end up killing my battery dead. The second it comes off the charger is turns off.
Can anyone point me in the direction of one that charges correctly?
Thx in advance!
I use my wife's from Verizon and it seems to work ok. It has a USB port so I can use my normal, thick data cord. You're probably running into ones where the cord is too thin to give proper charge. This one works great with the data cord.
I have the Samsung car dock. It seems to do fine with just GPS. I don't think the Epic can draw enough current to maintain it's charge if you're using any other features. If I'm running GPS + Streaming Music, it will discharge eventually and become very hot.
You need
1. a reasonable quality USB charging cable so that the Epic will draw the maximum current, or a power adapter that grounds the data pins. If the epic thinks it's connected to a computer it won't draw the maximum current.
2. an adapter that will provide 600ma+. I used the one from Griffin until it broke* and I bought the Samsung cradle. http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=usb+car+power+adapter&hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=1150301903319147928&sa=X&ei=4h0ZTtSyL4aDgAeA7rH0Dw&ved=0CIUBEPMCMAE
Hope this helps.
*Griffin agreed to fix it, but it's been several weeks since I sent it in. I'm a little unhappy with them at the moment, but the adapter was fine until it broke, maybe you'll have better luck.
xxx.dealextreme.com/p/car-cigarette-powered-dual-usb-adapter-charger-black-dc-12v-65855
seems like a good price. i ordered 3 single usb 1 amp units for 1.99. I'll give feedback once there in my hands.
sounds weird but goto radioshack or wherever & get one for a palm pre it works great charges really fast to, try & get palm brand because thats what im usin
Not as strange as you might think. As the pre/pixi charger is 1amp allowing it to power the touchstone with enough current. Most
12v lighter plug USB adapters are .5amps.
Also the pre/pixi lighter plug charger requires the cable that comes with it. And although it is a micro usb the end that goes in the lighter plug is not standard its thinned and narrower.
+1 on the pre charger... been using one since I had the pre, and it is awesome. phone still discharges when streaming pandora and running GPS, but GPS by itself results in a very slow net charge on my drive to work.
We sell a case logic brand charger at work for 15 bucks that is rated at 800mA, used it a few times and know a few people that have one. I'm sure online price is cheaper.

ive never had that problem mine always charges no matter what
I get mine off of EBay. Just make sure its output is 1amp.
USB and DATA cable
That's because if you use a USB adapter and a DATA cable the phone only charges at half it's rating. This is because it thinks it's pulling the power from a computer USB port and it doesn't want to overload (and fry) the port.
I picked up one of these, opened it up and soldered the two middle USB pins together. Now it allows my phone to charge with a data cable at it's max rate.

there are pretty sweet power inverters that run 30ams, so you can plug in laptops and such. pretty compact, AND they come with 2 usb charging ports.
there under 50 bux.
I use a j-lo brand car charger. Its for a gps and charges @ 1000mah. I also have a power inverter, the cheap one from walmart with 2 ac outlets and 1 usb port. Both of these work very well.

Bought a dual charger for the car, has 1 amp and 2.1 for devices like tables. When I plug the Tab Plus in the tablet gives me an X for charging and doesn't charge. Tried different cables. Any ideas??? GT 6210
Not compatible mHa...

So only Samsung OEM car and wall chargers work??? I even trid a lower amp charger in the house figuring it would just take longer to charger, and still get the X if it's not the Samsung wall charger.
2.1a is plenty to charge it, but as you said, only Samsung chargers will do it. It is highly annoying.

Interesting to note:
When the Tab/Tab+ is connected to an HDMI adapter (either dongle or stand version: I have both) the tab will draw power from ANY USB source and show it as charging. A generic 2.1 amp charger will add to the battery even while playing MAME on my HDTV using a BT PS3 controller while WIFI is enabled (a 500mA charger works too but cant keep up....in other words it will deplete your battery...just slower). The same generic charger will NOT charge my Tab+ when NOT connected to the HDTV/HDMI adapter.
It's charging, but it's only pulling 450mA. This is a safety measure to prevent pulling too much current from a computer USB port.
This is nuts. If it charges through an HDMI cable??It charges slowly through a computer??? I'm surprised nobody has come out with a "charge only" cable so it works generically. Obviously some of the pins can be left off or crossed to trick it.
I'd buy 3 and keep them all over the place!
I've seem them for Apple,I devices, even was shipped one by accident for my Ipod.
I'm writing CableJive! Maybe if they hear from enough of us they support out product. '[email protected]'
Eureka! I grabbed an old USB version 1 extension cable (female to Male) and plugged it on the end of my Tab sync power cable. Plugged it into Tab OEM wall charger, worked fine. Then I plugged it into a generic wall charger for phones (1amp) and IT IS CHARGING!
Still won't work on car adapter, tried 1 amp, 2.1amp, and 2.2 amp.
Ordered USB 2 extensions to test.
Have you made sure that the plug will charge something else? Make sure it will charge your phone or something. I know those dual micro-chargers have to be pushed with a lot more force than you would think. I would also check both ports on the dual charger. Usually only one of the ports will output 2.1 amps while the other only outputs 1 amp.
Quick semi-related charger question: are all Samsung Tab chargers the same? Or, at least, are they cross-compatible for charging?
I've got an imported tablet, and it's charging very slowly with a UK adaptor (which was supplied by the import company... had been expecting more, I have to say).
If I tool up and go shopping for a genuine Samsung Galaxy Tab charger, will any of them do, or do I need to be specific? Does anyone know?
i got one of these handy.

i bought it from DX few months back. http://dx.com/p/usb-power-adapter-for-samsung-p1000-81753?item=1
and it charges my fone with any usb chargers i have.. i also use it for my 2.1A car charger and works as expected.
I second the adapter recommendation shown above. I just wish it had some way to tie it to the cable so it doesn't get misplaced. They're pretty cheap, though, so I bought a couple extra.

here's mine..its tied with my extra sync cable.. these adapters are fragile and one of the plastic clips broke.. secured it with a zip tie and now even when i dropped it several times the white case stays secure.. i bring it with me all the time...
Have you guys tried these adapters both on AC and Car 2.1amps WITH the Tab? The references I see above are for phone.
Oops...never mind, went to sight and saw a reviewer listed Tabs.
This tablet is driving me nuts. Charging port must have a short or something but it looks fine. No bent pins or anything. My problem is sometimes I can plug it into the wall charger and it charges fine. Other times it will not charge for anything. Even using different chargers and cables and still nothing. Then next day it will charge no problem. Crazy. What is weird is that every single time the tablet was put on the dock it would charge no problem each and every time.
Anyone have any ideas because currently I have to play this game every day when it needs charged.
Does the dock charge every single time you use a cable and charger ?
If it was a problem with the tablet side port you would think the issue would remain trying to charge by docking it too
Tried a different ROM to rule that out ?

The dock did charge every time without issue. Haven't tried a different rom yet and can't right now till I get a charge on it. If I can will get another rom flashed on it to test.
I say "did" because the dock has since went belly up and had to be retired. So I have no alternative way to try and charge the tablet now. Was using the dock to charge the tablet every time because of the trouble charging it directly.
Not sure if they are swappable, but if you still have the dead dock, you might be able to salvage the charger port from it if it still works and fit it into the tablet, in case it is some weird connection issue tablet side

That is not an option because some of the pins got pushed back and broken off so the connector is trash now.
Also, the tablet will not charge when off right now either so don't think it is the rom causing it.

Ah damn, heavy handed kids ?
You think the same thing that happened to the dock port has happened to the tablet ?
I can only think to try find a cheap dead one on ebay or someone willing the break one up for parts
I bought new speakers for mine from this site but it doesn't seem to have much in stock atm, maybe email them and ask if they have a spare port

Nope...wife got a hold of it. Looking at the charging port of the tablet real close and it looks fine. Don't see anything that would cause problems. Thanks for the link. I'll figure something out for it I'm sure.
My wife and I both have Tmobile variant Note 5's... Using the stock charger it will not always fast charge. However if unplugged and reconnected it will start to fast charge... I thought maybe it simply wasn't indicating it was fast charging but in actuality it was but NO, I checked using the AMPERE application and it wasn't... Checked other forums and the problem is not just me but so far no solution... Any thoughts???

When I use the charger from my S6 Edge it doesn't fast charge but it does when I use the charger the phone came with even though they are exactly the same.

Anybody try swapping out the cable
Same. Unplugging the USB from the wall brick and reconnecting usually fixes the problem for me.
Same thing happened to me. Saw the tip of the Micro USB part, and it looked kinda weird, not all four wires aligned. Went to the drawer, got an old HTC wire, hooked it to the Samsung fast charger block, and it worked like a charm.
Pissed cuz I purchased 2 multi port fast chargers on amazon which no longer fast charge after the update.
I had mine stop fast charging once. I checked the connections and all was fine. I tried the Ultra-power saving mode and could not turn it back off. I ended up factory resetting. Since then - I have had no trouble with my fast charging working every time.
I have experimented with different USB cables and found that Fast Charging requires the use of USB cables that also allow data transfer. There are some USB cables out there that only has normal charging capability and these do not work with Fast Charging. Sometimes you can tell by checking the microUSB pins, others they simply lack the wiring within the cable itself.
Normal charging cables must have Vcc and GND for electricity passthru. While Data cable has additional D- and D+ connections, which I believe is used by Fast Charging.

I've had similar issues and ran many many tests. Using stock charger when plugged into phone and power 100% of time doesn't fast charge unless I pull USB from wall adapter still leaving plugged in both phone and wall. Plug USB back in adapter and fast charge will work 100% of time. Tried many different cords as I have lots.
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I have problems with my Note 5 no longer fast charging much. Over the last few weeks, it has charged progressively worse.
-I ordered a new cord and have tried multiple different cords and chargers including OEM. I was leaning toward this being an issue with the ports needing cleaning, but have now observed the same issue with wireless charging. About half the time on wireless charging and 3/4 of the time with wired charging it is very slow with no fast charging.
-I have also factory reset (using TekHD rom and modified stock kernel though I also tried Skyhigh) and am still having the issue. I use my phone all the time for work and am about to get rid of it. But before I do, does anyone have any ideas?
In summary: Fast Charging is intermittent with multiple cords, OEM charger, and wireless charging. Any ideas?
Get a new USB cable
In my experience, Samsung cables have a short lifespan. LG & HTC cables do better IMO (Probably because when you buy a LG or HTC there isn't many fakes Even on amazon many samsung clones) but I find LG cables work best. Yes, you will get fast charging with them
Hello everyone, I just purchased a Oppo Find X2 Pro, and Im really happy so far with the phone (just 2 weeks using it). I went through most of the posts in this forum before posting and I decided to register and discuss about a few things.
This post comes from my idea of trying to find compatible chargers and cars so I can have other options besides the one that comes with the phone
I read here several posts from people recommending NOT to use in a daily basis the official Super Vooc charger that comes with the phone, and that surprises me.
I had been talking with OPPO Uk support in the last days, asking them if this would damage the battery, and they always end up telling me the same sentence:
Use OPPO original charging cable and USB adapter. Third-party accessories might not be compatible with OPPO smartphone and cause problems.

I feel like this may be just so you buy their accesories.
For example, I wanted to get a Super Vooc 2.0 charger but since its out of stock in the UK, I asked if then I couldnt charge at all my Find X2 Pro in my car, which was annoying, and I could temporarily use a regular car charger, so then they said:
As long as the cable is compatible with your Find X2 Pro model, you shoud be able to as the adaptor in question is just the adaptor and not the cable that goes into the phone's charging port.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I was looking for some experts opinion on charging the Find X2 Pro, since in the OPPO suport pages theres no info at all, which is annoying since its a new technology and they should explain the options we have to charge it.
For example, can I charge it using something like a usb socket from a Xiaomi Power Strip (which I have)?:

And if I can, do I have to user the official super vooc cable or just a regular usb-c usb-a cable?
Also, can I use one of my samsung usb chargers but using the usb-c cable?
Several questions like these ones I asked to OPPO support just to have the same reply of ussing the official to avoid problems. I asked besides charging slower would it cause any damage? and they wont reply directly but just say that its possible that damage could be done...
Charging through USB port uses standardized process. A phone must charge with any 5V USB power source and cable.
The charging speed may differ depending on charger and cable capabilities. You should just avoid low cost / poor quality chargers and cables as sometimes they doesn't fulfill the requirements (max voltage, current control, ...).
I'm charging my phone overnight using an old Sony 800mA charger with a OnePlus Dash charge cable, so it charges slowly and the phone remains cold.
At home on my desk I use a Legrand power strip with integrated 2A USB ports when I don't need fast charging, and it works fine.
At work I'm using a OnePlus Dash charger from my old 3T and its cable, and it's recognized by the phone as a VOOC charger ... Who said sister companies ?
Thanks for your reply. I imagined that in all of those cases the phone would charge, yes of course it works any charger and cable just changing the speed. The question for me is, could it be somewhat harmful to the battery in the long term. After the phone is expecting a super vooc cable and super vooc charger on the other side. Maybe this is stupid, I dont know much about electricity/batteries/etc...

You can use magnetic cables as well. A friend uses these vooc magnetic cables to charge his one plus device. He has two devices the 5t and 7 it both warp charges and dash charges.
