Slow charging problem

Hello all,
Since yesterday I have this very strange slow charging problem.
Yesterday I charged for a little bit my Mate7 from a car charger. The charger works and the cable also, used it to change my note3, note4, oneplus one and never gave me any problems.
I charged it for 10-15 minutes from a car charger which for a fact I know that it's working properly. This morning the battery was 8%.....I'm changing it for 4 hours and the battery is only at 55%?
Anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on what's going on?
Please help

Root charge again

Why should I root it in order to charge it as before?

Are you able to solve the issue. I am also facing same issue. I have changed charger , factory reset the phone but still its charging at extremely slow rate.

Same problem here. Has anyone a solution for the slow charging? I just charged for over an hour and it went from 22% to 25%. Original charger and cable.

Exactly same problem .
I have changed the firmware to official lolipop 5.1.1 but there is no difference.
Start charging at midnight and at 7 h am, 40% battery!
The phone is charging but if I must charge for 24 hours , this is a big problem.

This problem is only on Lolipop or same on Kitket?

I don't know but i am in lolipop

i think it is only Lolipop problem,i have the same broblem ,but not every time to slow charge.

Buy yourself USB power monitor on ebay or amazon (they arent expensive) to see how much Amps is getting through. I had three different cables and only one of them charged with 1.7A. The other .085A or 0.99A.

Please check if your data cable works when you connect your mate 7 to pc? By it I means if your device is deted as media device or it only charges ?

This problem used to happen with me .. look
the problem isn't actually the charger itself, it's the USB cable. It needs to be a genuine USB cable that came with some phone, I use a samsung one that came with a note 3. borrow one or get it, or get a full charger.
those USB types work
- HTC , Samsung , Huawei
But first, You need to get a samsung charger 5V >> 2A " you just say to the seller, Samsung fast charge capable charger"

my Huawei y6 is now slow charge from 50 to 100 it take around 3 hrs . i use the original charger.what could be the reason ? And how to solve this ?

Galaxy S6 slow charging issue

Hi,
couple of weeks ago, my phone starts charging slowly. Whenever I use any other charger, than original, its charges only with arround 400-700mAh - thats only 1/3 of the charging speed. The non original chargers have 2A output: Samsung car charger, ASUS tablet charger, ADATA powerbank. I tried different cables, restared the phone, charging while phone was off, cleaning the phone conector with contact spray.
The battery consumption is normal, arround 50mAh. The fast charging with original charger works OK. All the chargers, I mentoined, worked perfectly just month ago. Unfortunately, I do not have the options test the chargers on other phones, because all other are just slow chargers (1A)...
Any idea, why this is happening?

partialy solved
I perform some tasks, and it seems, that it helps:
I did: wipe system cache. This increases the charging speed from 1/4 to 3/4 (400mAh -> 1300mAh) from the powerbank. The charging speed from car charger didnt changes
Then I did factory reset of the phone and it seems, that this helps.
The charging speed is very depending on the proper usb cable used. One cable works fino on one charger, but performs bad on another...

all USB Cables have different amperes, some have 2A some have 2.1A, furthermore, it also depends on the power source, the car's charger couldn't be as strong as the wall socket i think.
Anyways, on a side note, i suggest you try Aukey quick charge 2.0 powerbank. fast charges your S6.

I am wondering if this may be related to an update? Both me and the wife started experiencing this same problem, at the same time (different chargers). A few nights ago our chargers were working fine then the next night after 12 hours of charging battery is only around 80%
I did a factory reset on mine on Sunday for other reasons but this has made no difference to the charging issue

I tried this app as you suggest and to be honest my battery is worse rather than better. From fully charged, my battery has dropped by 20% in less than 2 hours pretty much being on standby. See screenshots below.

It's weird, anyway download the latest stock firmware for your device model and flash it using Odin. Wipe everything from Recovery Mode before and after flashing.

What difference would flashing stock firmware make? My phone is up to date and I did a factory reset on Sunday

I have the same situation, my s6is chargind just at 400mA speed, and my pc is showing USB not recognized (windows 10), thought it could be a usb charging board just pluged in new one, nothing changed... the same problem. there is somthing more, likely usb chip on motherboard or maybe battery... or some kind of problems

my culprit was the provided samsung cable. if you're in the UK the "betron" reinforced cables from Amazon sorted my problem... cheap and comes with warranty. Mine is still going strong and no problems here

For my case, it happened after my phone is updated. I brought my phone to a service center unfortunately it's already out of warranty. They are asking around $90 to have my phone fixed. According to them, they need to replace the battery and the sub board.
Im really dumbfounded how this happened.

I have the same problem with my s6 I have replaced the charger port and still won't connect to the pc or fast charge

Slow charging after update

My phone is taking forever to charge since yesterday, and the only thing that changed was I updated to COI5. Was never rooted. My phone has been on the charger for 4 hours and is 63%. I've tried different chargers and power bricks, all which worked fine yesterday. I would get a full charge in under 2 hours. My current time to full from 63% is 2 hours 13 minutes.
Anyone else noticing this after update?

Same happening for me, actually. I noticed after last week's T-Mobile update that my phone doesn't really fast charge.

Are you talking about the 30mb update?

Yes, I have.
When you plug it in, make sure it say fast charging. I noticed that it sometimes shows cable charging, I then replug it until it say fast charging.
roger1955

I'll have to try that Roger, as I've noticed the same thing. Really slow to charge now, so perhaps I needed to reseat the cable. On a positive note, I tried Samsung Pay at PetSmart today, and have to admit, I was very, very impressed.

After the update i noticed i have to plug ,unplug , replug for fast charging to work as well

I heard the same problem. it was an app that i installed which was causing that problem. problem solved after installing all my apps.

I'm having this same problem and it's driving me nuts...

From my troubleshooting I found it to be the Samsung charger. Every Samsung micro USB cable including the one that came with the phone. If I use any other micro USB it charges fast. Any Qualcomm fast charge brick works better than the Samsung brick as well. All the combinations I tried that is what I found. Use a moto quick charge brick and any micro USB cable. It seems that whatever update was sent out only let's us charge through USB 1.0 amp and after 3 or more tries fast charge with the Samsung cable and adapter. Not sure how or why that was done, but every other cable charges 2.0 amp and fast charge on first try

Weird my note 5 fast charging started acting up as well. Also my phone somehow went into factory mode while it was off all I did was plugged in the charger too. Been having a lot of issues with the Note 5, exchanged once already now my new phone is having the same issues still.

Im also having issues with fast charging. this is really pissing me off....

Honor 8 Charging/USB Connection Issue

Currently i am dealing with an issue with my Honor 8 which deals with fast charging and connecting the device to a PC. My device takes between 5-8 hours to charge, i've also tried another Honor 8 USB Type C charger which belongs to my friend. And It's still not working. It also won't connect to any PC. It always shows that the device is not recognizable and or has malfunctioned. Funny thing is that i sent it in for a Warranty Repair which once i got back, still has the SAME issue!! They "Claim" to have changed the USB Type C Port, Battery, and Charger with USB Type C cable. Spent plenty of time on the phone with Huawei trying to find a solution but i'm not getting a great solution. They escalated the situation to "Higher Up" after i spoke to a manager (Second Time) to see what else can be done. I'm thinking motherboard kinda fried a little one day while charging?? Some hidden Toggle within settings to enable fast charging and PC connection?? Anyone else having this same issue??? This happened out of nowhere as well. One day working and the next Issues everywhere! Sorry for the long Rant. But i'm still wondering if someone has pr had the same issue or kinda the same issue. I can't be the only one with this issue.

Sorry to hear but this happens to the best of devices.. At least Honor/Huawei are investigating the problem. But I would of thought they would conduct a test on your phone when it came in and again before sending it out to you. Still they would have to put on their jig and run a full test and or ship your out a replacement device.

i would suggest you to give it and get back another device from service center.. i think , you got a faulty unit.. bad luck..

Yeah, if you have just received your device then I'd send it back to Honor and request for a replacement unit. As yours could be faulty. However if you've had it for more than 14 days then you will have to send it back to their Service Center for repairs.

Another with the same problem here...
I bought mine from a guy (second hand) at a very good price. The Fast Charge never worked and when I connect to a computer I have the same problem...
The weird thing is that if you try to charge with a power bank or a USB from a computer or laptop it charges very fast... Very. But to the AC power it takes ages. I also try with the Charger of another guy and in a shop and never have Fast Charging... Don't know what to do because for the rest the cellphone really work well.

Same problem as above. USB charging seems to work fine but AC charging is unbearably slow (50-300 mah, 10-20 hours to charge). Running stock rooted Emui 4.1. I've tried factory resetting, unrooting, relocking bootloader, rerooting, and flashing backups from when it was working and nothing seems to have made any difference. Since USB charging works normally I hope this is just a software problem but Honor needs to look into this.

The "device is not recognizable and or has malfunctioned" sounds like you're using Windows 8 or later, so the OS should have USB 3 support baked in. Did you install HiSuite and the driver for the Honor 8? Although it's a USB type C connector only 2.0 transfer speeds are supported, so if you've got a cable with a standard USB connector data connectivity try a 2.0 port. Are you seeing any Unknown Devices in Device Manager? And is the Phone showing up?
Also, now that I'm thinking about it, PC data connection is turned off by default and has to be turned on everytime you connect the Honor 8 to a PC. There's a prompt that pops up under EMUI 5.0, but I think you had to manually change it from Charge Only to MTP/Device file manager Mode.
Fast Charging with an AC adapter only works with the charger that comes with the Honor 8 (or other Huawei phones that Fast Charge at 9V/2A). Qualcomm Quick Charge adapters will only charge at regular speed (probably 5V/1A). If you use an AC charger from an old flip phone or something a lot of those are only rated at 5V/150mA and might not provide enough juice to keep the battery from depleting if you're using the Honor 8 while charging it (and take 20 hours to hit 100%).

I am using the charger included in the package and its not working properly, also I tried with other Honor 8 Adapter that worked on my friends Honor 8 and is not working on mine. Also tried on My aukey Quick charge 3.0 compatible AC charger and is still slow as *****. If It is connected to acomputer USB charges faster than to the power line so i assume is a software problem or bug that do not detect properly the power any solution?
Can not send it back to Huawei because I bought it as second handed...

The EXACT same thing happened to me! About a week ago, my phone just stopped connecting to the MacBook. I then tried it on my windows computer, at work, and still, nothing.
I've been through the settings and changed everything and yet it is still not recognised by a computer.
My next option is to do a factory reset with the phone but I am determined to not do that as I don't want to lose so much data.
Did you resolve the issue?

Unfortunately I did not, Huawei would not do anything else, claimed to changed parts and nothing fixed the issue. So I sold my device for 80 bucks. Did you use any new chargers, car chargers, or change usb cables? I used a car charger with quick charge and a new us cable. Was charging my device while driving and noticed my phone was extremely hot. Must of unsoldered something on the motherboard.

Well I'm currently using a cable I bought from Vanguard (Shenzhen, China) and it still works now. One thing I have been doing is gaming whilst charging. The phone seems to feel hot but I didn't expect it to do this. I'm guessing the same thing would have happened if I'd been charging with the original wire which I keep at work. The constant use must have damaged it. :good:

Hello guys!
I have the same exact problem with me honor 8.
Takes forever to charge via DC and I cant access phone storage via use cable when connected to PC. I have bought and changed loads of USB cables but the problem still persists.
Anyone please help before I go crazy and ditch the phone !!!

I'm affraid there is no solution. I sent my phone back to repair centre 3 times with this problem. (No fast charge and PC not recognise. They replaced the mainboard at the end. It solved the problem for 2 days and dead again. I just gave up and living together with this fault however it's bloody annoying especially when you would like to download your pics and videos. :crying:

I have exactly the same problem, as described, with mine. It happened out of nowhere as well.

Galaxy S8+ 'Slow Charging'

Evening All
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.
Thanks

Even original cable charger works both ways, one side its slow charger and other side is fast. Try to change charger sides in the phone.

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.
