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.

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.
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:
So, from my understanding, the OEM Samsung fast charger for the Galaxy S6 is 5 volts 2 amps. I recently bought an Anker Elite Dual Port wall adapter, which is capable of 5 volts, and up to 2.4 amps if pulled per port.
When I plug in my phone to a standard OEM adapter, it says it is fast charging, and something a long the lines of 1 hour and 30 minutes until fully charged, but when I plug it into my Anker adapter, it says the same amount of time, but a standard charge. Ie not displaying as fast charging, but with fast charging times. With monitoring apps, both pull 1 amps.
Does anyone know what could cause this? Both pull the same but one doesn't say fast charging.
i have 2 OEM samsung charger bases and 2 OEM samsung 2 amp wall plugs and charging my watch takes forever. when i put it on the charger with about 15% left, itll take about 90 to 110 min to charge to full. I recently bought a usb smart charger 4 port thing from sams club for my home charging purposes and when i charge it on that, it takes about half to 2/3 of the time it takes on my OEM wall plug. This is the exact thing i have that charges faster. Has anyone had similar experiences?
i assume it can only be because of a voltage regulation circuit of some sort
I only use a 1amp charger and it charges fine in about an hour. I'd say your charger is screwed.

i have about 10 samsung 2 amp chargers and 2 oem charging bases and so many cables, its kinda silly. Ive tried several combinations over the 14 to 15 mos ive owned this watch. The charger being screwed is 100% out of the question because that would mean that magic is charging all the other devices that charge just fine on those same "screwed" chargers

Ok
I noticed that Tab S6 did not complain about slow recharging when plugging in a Power Delivery port.
I took some measurements using a couple of meters I have.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FMQZVW2
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D316FHM/
Samsung Charger with Samsung Cable:
9.12V * 1.595A = 14.546 watts
Power Delivery (Google Pixel 2 XL Charger and Cable):
8.39V * 1.93A = 16.19 watts
I also tested with different cables that I already verified that were good and a couple of different chargers for Power Delivery and Quick Charge and results were similar to the measurements above.

I was actually curious about this subject. Thank you for sharing your findings. I am assuming the charges times shouldn't vary much.
Very curious if the 45 Watt charger from the Note10 will give a additional boost.
My Tab is currently on order, but it will take 1 or 2 weeks before it arrives.
I ordered the 256GB model, especially for the 8GB memory.

I just ordered one of these on a black friday sale. Did you ever find out if the 45W charger works faster?
No it does not make a difference.
Just a FYI...kinda related?
Without even thinking much about it I've been using the PD port (connected to original charger) on my USB-C to HDMI converter for several months. During usage, which consists of streaming live NFL games via the S6 and watching on my TV, the battery level decreases, albeit slowly, from 100% down to about 85% during a 3-3 1/2 hour session.
I assume this is to be expected, considering. Anyways, just some info for thought.
While fast charging is very convenient, it will affect the longevity of the battery if it's pushed too far.
I buy this one https://www.amazon.com/Vantec-USB-C-3-Port-Delivery-CB-CU301HSPD/dp/B07FQWV2YK but when running usb keyboard and mouse and hdmi i get a warning that battery is draining faster then it is charging and can see battery draining. If I use official samsung battery does not drain.
i know this thread is old, but exactly the issue i have was mentioned here.
i got a multiport adapter, so i can use hdmi and usb 3.0 ports on my tablet. it also came with an usb-c port for with PD 60w charging.
but when i plugged my original amsung charger to the multiport adapter thats connected to my tablet, it said its fullxy charged it 50h.... so.. is this totally normal its like that? the battery draining is faster than the charging. doesnt matter what i do, it is always the same: with the multiport adapter + original samsing chargwer it needs like 50h+ to be fully charged. is it the same for you guys, too? (when i dont use the adapter, my original samsiung charger charges full in 1h30min... that ocnfuses me totally)
can someone explain me in possibly easy words, why it is like that and why it is normal? (in case it actually is normal..) so basically, i would like to know if i should refund the adapter because its usb-c PD charging port is broken, or if this is totally normal behaviour with samsung mobile/tablet charger stuff?
EDIT: meassuring the electricity on my power socket, when i dont use the adapter, its charges with around 12W. but with the adapter it sinks to 1,5W. is that normal?
