Is this to be expected with the pixel? I'm running the Octo rom for sailfish and I'm not seeing a notification any longer about the phone quickly charging not to mention the charge time is much longer. Anyone know of a way to quick charge again?

in the last week my battery no longer "quick charges". i have 'Ampere' installed so i'm used too seeing it charge at around 2800mA. i vaguely understand that phones charge quicker up to around 80% and then at a slower rate for the remaining - it's not this.
when I plug in the, current starts at ~1300mA and climbs to just under 3000mA... and drops to ~440mA in a minute or so.
it doesn't appear to be the cable and/or charging block that came with the phone - using a 1A charger from my last phone gets similar results and i purchased a new cable that's compatible with high speed charging.
i really wanted to love this phone.
I have a Samsung quick Charger from a Note5, and it has never quick charged my PureXL (actually super slow charges it,) but after the last update, I noticed I got an overvoltage error using it....
The reason is that this phone is not quick charge enabled. That's actually something that needs to be built into the SoC + Kernel support. You have a solid 2A charger, it'll go fast, but it can't rapid draw like say, the premium motos or a OnePlus.

sorry, i don't think i explained myself that well. i'm pretty sure that i've noticed a change in performance. when the phone was new i remember the current being high when battery % was lower, and then decreasing as it charged.
in the last week or so it seems to be charging at a slower rate and with the original 2A charger and cable. if the battery is at 20% the current will increase quickly to something above 2800mA and then immediately decrease so that by the time it's at say 22% charged the current is at a steady 440mA.
oh! ****. i didn't realize that 'quick charge' was actually 'Quick Charge™ by Qualcomm®'.. nice and generic sounding.
my pure xl was doing a full charge in less than 3 hours. as of last week all of a sudden it takes 10 hours to fully charge. using original charger and cable. can anyone shed a light on fixing this problem?

My Nexus 6p is now facing the same problem as yours. It charges less than 3 hours before and all of a sudden two days ago, it has taken 10 hours to fully charge. With all cables and charges faults ruled out, my only guess is the fault lies in the phone. I don't think it is the USB port either. I believe it may be something to do with the software I cannot comprehend. But I currently don't have the time to reflash my ROM. This Resurrection remix ROM served well for the past year.
Currently, my amperage averages out to 350 mA. Sad. I wish someone with knowledge about this can reply to this thread. It seems this question has been lingering here for more than two years already. Are we the only ones who face this problem?
Ever since a couple months ago, my Galaxy S6 started charging slower and slower. I bought mine brand new at the beginning of this year at MetroPCS, so it's the G920T1 variant. I've been always using the same charger (the one that came with my phone) and fast charging power brick. But when I installed a battery info app, AccuBattery, I noticed that the charge was getting weaker than it was supposed to. It took me 3 hours last night to charge my phone from 15% to 100% and the charging current was at 1,000mA/h, but this was on a recent flash of the Ultimate Nougat 2.0 ROM. Before, when I was on Mac's RR, the phone would charge at 2,000mA/h and charge from 0 to 100 in 1h30m. Since "fast charging" was fast in a AOSP ROM, it drives me to believe that there is something wrong in TouchWiz ROMs, as I've tried 2 custom TouchWiz roms (one was 6.0.1 and the other was 7.0) and then Stock MetroPCS firmware, but they all didn't go over 1,000mA/h.
Is there something wrong with the charger that TouchWiz is trying to prevent harm to the phone or is it software? I can't wrap my head around this because I just flashed RR again, and it charges at 2,000mA/h
Any help or suggestions are appreciated, cheers!
Hi, i'm worried about the my new BLU life X3 is still charging after 8hs and it's at 80%. Also, when the first time (still with the factory charge) reached 20%, it started runing out of batterry till 0% not even in a minute! Does anyone have any experience with this phone? I've not seen any threads about this model. It's a monster battery (5000mAh) with no charge booster, but what i wanna know if this beheviour is normal. Thank's in advance.
Hmm this is not qcom so there might not be any quick charging. I had forgotten about this. But maybe you could use a 2A power supply which should charge the phone in 3 hours. I saw comments about it having some kind of quick charge but nothing specific.
Hi all,
The last couple of weeks I am having issues charging my phone (HTC U12+), at first I thought it was the charge or the wire, today I got the Mrs phone, which is the same as mine, brought on the same day directly from HTC, running the same firmware, then I got a few different charges, some Quick Charge 2.0 Samsung Genuine, and some Quick Charge 3.0, HTC genuine, and a variaty of good quality wires, and they all work as expected on her phone, Quick Charge 3.0 charged fine up to about 3000mA, I plugged in my phone, at first it shows about 2500mA, that's with the Quick Charge 3.0 chargers, then withing less then a minute I goes down to about 1000mA, and it shows high mV and high temp, please see attached screenshot, the app I have used and always use to test it all is AccuBattery Pro, and by the way do do know that tge battery charges slow for the last 20% or so, but as you can see in the screenshot the battery is bellow that, and when I started the test the battery was at about 25%...
Is the battery on the way out or what?
Thanks

Well, charge speed depends on several parameters.
If your battery is pretty full it's going to slow down charging.
The fastest charge I seem to get is when it's really low on juice.
I'm on the latest .151 build and I think steady charging does not work for me.
Maybe I didn't get the functionality or I misunderstood something but it doesn't matter what charging mode I use, it always charges incredible fast unless I use my old charger.
When I plug my device and go to the steady/ultra steady settings it claims it would take as long as a 18 watt charger and would take ~1h until it's full. However it mostly only takes around 35 minutes (I don't go from 0% to 100%). When I use my old (Oneplus 5 or Nexus 5) charger it takes around 1.5h.
Is there a way to tell if I load the phone via hypercharge or steady charge? Forum mods mentioned both share the same animation and no matter if you use hyper or steady it's always listed as hyper charge in the lock screen.
As soon as I plug my device all notifications appear claiming it would be ultra steady and scheduled.
So my questions
- how can I tell if it's working?
- does it work for you?
- would be using my old charger a better alternative?
- how long takes ultra steady for you?
Things I've already tried
- I did a factory reset
- cleared all caches of Powermaster app
- restarted the phone multiple times
I am on .151 as well, and use the steady charging feature without issue. I typically plug it in around 30% give or take a little bit, and let it charge to 80% with the limiter. Usually takes 25-30 mins to complete this. I was skeptical at first as to whether or not it was working as intended, but I have a USB gauge which verified it was indeed working. I will run it again the next time I charge to give you the exact information, but as I recall it was approximately 16.9w at about 2 amps.
Thank you very much for your answer. So you use steady - not ultra steady?
Because my experience is nearly the same I plug it at ~25/30% until 80% and ~55% in ~30 minutes seems pretty damn fast for a 6000mAh battery.
Especially when I look at the settings when I charge my phone it shows ultra steady === 18w charger but when I really use my old 18w charger it takes waaaaaay longer. That's why I was so confused.
I would be really really glad if you could help me understand if it works as it should or not. I expected a charging time of 1.5h or so to be honest

I do use the ultra steady charging option. I popped it on for a minute to get the read out. I am going to kill the phone sometime this weekend and measure capacity with the device and see what it says.
Ignore the other readings on there for now as I didn't reset them before taking that pic.
I see, thank you very much.
So it indeed charges (compared to other/older phones) extremely fast even on ultra steady - at least in my opinion.
Why are you going to kill the phone O.O?
You don't like it?

I meant I'm going to let the battery die completely then use the USB tester to confirm battery capacity.
I really like the phone and plan on keeping it barring any issues
So I let the phone die and did a full charge from 0%-100%. I did it with the phone turned on. It appears to be charging at the claimed 18w the whole time. Next time I do it I will do it with the phone off. The mah didn't get captured properly for sure though.
For the first 3% it did charge at a speedy rate, which I did include a screen shot of. Once I turned the phone on that rate was never seen again.
