Fast charging on Nougat broken? - T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers

Does anyone have fast charging working on a Nougat version firmware, stock or otherwise?
I've seen lots of reports of people losing that ability once they moved on from MM. Couldn't find any reports to refute that. My hypothesis thus far is that LG dropped the ball with updating the fast charge detection capability when they updated the software version.

No fast charging issues on Nougat, specially stock and stock based roms.
There might be some issues on AOSP though.

What are you running now?
Trying to troubleshoot, so you are getting the fast charge notice on the lock screen and pulldown notification?
And what kind of cable and charger do you use?
Appreciate it!
I had a Nougat stock G5 which could not fast charge. Reverted to 10J and it works again.

Currently I am on the latest t-Mobile stock 20k with root. I have also tried other stock based roms like Fulmics in the past and didn't have fast charging problem.
The fast charging notification is shown on the lockscreen. I have a original LG charger plus couple of QC 2.0 chargers (Choetech and tronsmart) at work. They all do the fast charge just fine.

Interesting. My final troubleshooting point, are you using a normal USB-C cable, or a micro-USB to USB-C adapter?

Normal USB-C cable. I have my original from LG, I also got a few purchased from Choetech. They all work fine. Using an adapter is not recommended. USB-C cables come with a 56k registor for overcurrent protection, the adapter may not have that. Besides, an adapter would always add extra resistance to the circuit.

Thanks. I forget if I actually used my USB-C to test the Nougat version now, but that might have been a significant difference.
The newer adapters (not really that new since the big push was last year) do have that resistor built in now. I've done quite a bit of testing with the adapters and found that for QC2 and QC3, the amperage and voltage did not change at all and the charging times were identical. But I didn't have all the equipment to test it more thoroughly. And certainly, just because it 'works' doesn't mean it "works."
I did find that one of my adapters may have degraded and cannot reliably do USB data connections anymore, only charge. Time to move on to USB-C cables exclusively then!

As a 'final' update, I took another G5 I own and upgraded it from 10J to the 20A KDZ. This one fast charges fine with the adapter, no issues. So my working theory that it's the adapter is NOT correct. (Plus I was pretty sure I used a real USB-C cable to test it originally).
Not sure why my other one did not fast charge on Nougat. Probably/hopefully not a hardware issue, as it fast charges fine on MM 10J.

Did you ever figure out your other device? Mine sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. It will begin fast charging then switch off. After that I can unplug it and plug it back in to get fast charging to usually stay on.
It seems like a software issue to me...

I never got to the bottom of this. I returned the one that worked just fine as it was on T-Mobile Jump on Demand. I've kept the newer device on the MM revision and never had an issue with fast charge. I'd be really annoyed if I couldn't get fast charge working on Nougat reliably, but I've not been tempted to upgrade the software at this point.
In your case, it might be the chin piece USB connection that's breaking down. That's the only thing I can think of that would explain why it works only intermittently.

Same issue
I have the same issue after update to android 7.0 and after the update to android 8.0 any solution ? I have the latest update to oreo from T-mobile and fast charging not working for me just i have the notification that fast charge is working . i have the original lg adapter with usb-c cable .

There was no resolution or confirmation of this when I posted it originally. I do know I saw a lot of posts about fast charge not activating when moving from MM to Nougat. There was a report of it working again with the newest Oreo update.
Your post is confusing, you say you DO have the notification that fast charge is working? So what makes you think it is not working?

Yes i have the notification but Fast charge not working, generaly my batterie charge decrease 1%/1 minute , when it's powered off (my phone) i think it charge correctly. Now i have the latest update from T-mobile and the same issue

I'm not sure you are properly able to tell it is NOT working. It absolutely won't fast charge if the screen is on and you are watching it.
So measure the time it takes to go from whatever % you start off with to 100%, with the screen off. I have very detailed measurements of QC working that I can compare your data with.

When the screen is OFF or ON i have a discharge for exemple after 1min from 40% to 39% but when the phone is powered down i have a full charge after 75 min 80 min

1. Are you telling me that if the phone is on, and plugged in and supposed to be charging, the phone doesn't charge? And actually loses charge?
2. And if the phone is COMPLETELY turned off, the full charge takes 75-80 minutes?

Yes exactly i found the same issue in other forum

My note 5 fast charger isn't fast charging?

Seems like it's charging super slow for some reason. I'd do some troubleshooting maybe it's the power source or something if anyone having the same issue please let me know how you guys fix it.

Ok, so oddly enough, I noticed the exact same issue last night. I did a few searches online, and found something interesting. According to one of the sites I visited, the fast-charging only kicks in when the battery is below a certain level, 15% I believe. Then, as it's charging and the percentage rises, the charging slows down. Long story short: the lower your battery is, the faster it'll charge. I guess Sammy didn't want to burn out your Note 5 battery by fast-charging all the time. I'll try to find that article and post it here for you!
Note: I let my phone drop into the low teens last night, and sure enough, it began fast-charging as soon as I plugged it in. Maybe it's just coincidence though...who knows.
Edit: Here's the article: http://www.gottabemobile.com/2015/08/20/5-quick-chargers-for-the-galaxy-note-5-s6-edge-plus/
That's false, actually it will fast charge on any percentage level.
Right now I'm at 10% and it says cable charging, sometimes I'll be at 90% and it will say fast charging. No fix yet? I do know if you unplug and plug back in several times it will say fast charging. Sometimes one time, sometimes 4-6 times...

I have the same issue. Tried different kernels. Haven't tried switching roms though. I'm on breakdown v3. Rom isn't the issue though. No idea what is going on
Maybe it's the cable? I had to get a new one. Like I burned the old one up.
My cousins note 5 wouldn't fast charge, and I told him to swap out the cable, and boom it worked again.
So, seemingly, we have a sudden burst of people with this issue. I guess the OEM cable has a couple month life expectancy lol
Yup, cable
I've noticed this issue too. I just keep plugging it in until it fast charges (usually 5 or 6 times). Not a great workaround, but it works.
Mine has thus problem too , but if I use the same USB cable and the charger that came with my Note 3 it at least charges at regular speed, but with the fast charger and same cable I get less than that .
My indian note 5 has the same problem. Sometimes it fast chargesvand sometimes not. I went to Samsung service center and got the charger replaced. Now it is workinf fine.
I tried using the cable that came with my Note 4, and now it works fine. It's a longer cable, maybe that has something to do with it.
It's clearly not dependent on being at a certain percentage considering mine is fast charging right now and it's at 57 and will continue to fast charge until full or at least display a notification that it's fast charging until it's full.
In all my testing it's the cables. I have 4 power adaptive blocks that came with various models including N4, S6E, S6E+, and N5. All the blocks work with my N5 as long as I use the USB cable from my Note 4. If I use a cable from the S6E, S6E+, or the N5 it doesn't fast charge. The N4 cable is much beefier then the newer cables. Maybe they are just making cheaper cables nowadays. The N3 charger was beefier then the N4 charger although that's kind of expected being usb 3.0.

Is it the cable or the adapter that determines the fast charging??? For instance can I use my longer thicker note 4 cord with the new note 5 base and get fast charging?
I think the USB cable that comes with the Samsung fast chargers is faulty. I have 2 fast chargers, 1 from the S6 edge and 1 from the Note 5 and neither one of them will fast charge with the supplied usb cable. I can use any other usb cable and fast charging will work, it just won't work with the Samsung cables.

Fast Charge + Belkin Cable = No charge?

Hey guys,
So got my S8+ and so far very happy. I'm having an issue of sorts, where if I use the original wall adaptor and a 3rd party cable such as Belkin, my phone says it's charging but the percentage stays the same. I've tested this with a brand new Belkin USB-C 1.8M cable and a USB micro cable using the included adaptor.
It was on 8% when I went to bed, and 8% when I first woke up. Changing the settings to disable fast charging made them work, but this seems like it could generate a lot of problems for people who don't even know about fast charging, especially as it's on by default.
Anyone else noticed this?
Sounds like a faulty cable.

I originally thought that, but surely can't be the case if I have two cables doing it? And if it charged fine without fast charging, is that still a possibility? As the only thing that changes is voltage I believe?

Your belkin cables are ok BUT not compatible with fast charging. I THINK the phone must talk some way to charger to enable fast charging but your cables are not transmitting that info to the cgarger.
I advise you to buy original samsung spare cables.

I know this, but generally if the device detects that the cable is not compatible with fast charging, it falls back to normal charging. That's how it was with my S7 Edge.
I'm just imagining all the people reporting their phone as faulty when it's not.

Not Fast Charging

I find that my U11 is now frequently not fast-charging even when using the supplied charger. In some cases I found that pushing in the USB C connector (firmly) fixed the problem.
I'm using fast chargers and leads that worked fine with my HTC 10. Any ideas? Are others experiencing problems?
I hope I've not got a faulty device.
this is one thing I was afraid of, what to do when the USB port gets damaged
how to keep it charged.
if we had the option for wireless charging, then at least even if the USB is damaged, we can still wireless charge, but unfortunately this beautiful phone did not come with the wireless charge feature.

Have you checked the USB C port on your device for dust or something of that sort that could be preventing proper connection?
Are you using the OEM usb cable with it too? I only had problems with aftermarket cables on my U Ultra.
At work I have this pre-historic (10+yo at least) thin white generic mini USB cable with mini to micro and micro to C adapters, supplying power from Samsung fast charger (unofficial qc 2.0) and still "Quick Charger connected"
Will try if better cable charges faster though - with backlight all the way up and Pokemon go running (inside building, GPS roams a lot) it just keeps the charge level, with low backlight it charges.
Huge improvement over Xperia Z3+ (Snapdragon 810) though - that power hungry menace lagged pretty much everywhere where graphics were involved and discharged on QC 2.0 charger even when e.g. media scanning or playing Hill Climb Racing that worked fine on Moto Droid 4
I agree quick charge 3.0 is not that quick.

Using a newer cable (had it for about a year, good condition, premium quality), it charges even with 100% backlight and power-hungry apps running. Not sure how fast though, it doesn't really matter to me while at work. It's not even QC 3.0, it's a year old Samsung Adaptive Fast Charger that's unofficially compatible with QC 2.0. Using the stock QC 3.0 charger with display off, the phone charges under 2 hrs.
Mind that the more the battery is charged the slower it's charging - advantage of QC is mainly in reviving a dead phone into a usable state. Otherwise it would cripple the battery capacity fast.
So, I am satisfied with my U11 and its charging performance
Read this.. https://www.qualcomm.com/news/onq/2015/06/30/qualcomm-quick-charge-20-technology-explained
Beamed in by telepathy.
It's annoying they didn't implement QC 4.0 in the U11 for whatever reason but I have experienced the "check cable" message like twice. The HTC 10 did it too though unless I had a custom kernel and then it consistently worked. It's probably a kernel coding issue. It takes about 2 hours for my U11 to go from 1-100 and the battery temperature is much lower than the M7, M8, and 10 which all hit around 115-120F while charging. The U11 maxes out at 109F. I've yet to see it any higher.
So far the only device to have QC 4.0 is the Nubia Z17 (and its actually got the new QC 4+, not straight 4.0) - Qualcomm hasn't explained why there are no QC 4.0 devices on the market.

U11 has hard coded charge rate of 1A when the screen is on. Not sure why, temperature maybe? You'll see charge rates about 3x that with the screen off. 0-90% in ~1 hour.

Since October OTA update, which says August update. Fast charging is doing what the pixels did. Only fast charges with supplied charger. Any other fast charger does not work.

S8+ fast charging not working after upgrading to the latest firmware AQF7.

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?

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.

Anyone else having PD "Rapid Charge" Issues with Android Pie (9)?

Post Android Pie update I've noticed issues with the PD rapid charging. The original usb-c cable that came with the phone no longer works but I had no issues with the replacements but now occasionally I have to unplug/replug or reboot my phone in order for it to activate the "rapid charge" mode. I've tested this at various battery levels, power supply's and in general it doesn't seem to activate like it used to. My 3rd party Auckley charger was great but now I get more out of the 2.4A USB-A port than the USB-C PD/QC port.
I've heard the rapid charge feature hasn't been working correctly on Pixel's post update and was wondering if the causes were related? I'm hoping Essential responds to my concerns and if the issue is widespread issues a fix.

I suspect some 3rd party stuff is not really PD capable.
3rd Party VS OEM
I accept that some 3rd Party stuff may not be up to the same standards as OEM stuff but they (different USB-C cables) worked before the update and stopped after... If it was a single type/set up I would accept that as the cause but in this case it has happened with several different ones so I'm thinking it's a broader issue.

There is a handshake protocol and maybe there is a more strict adherence to the handshake?
I'm experiencing the same issue. Some PD chargers work; some do not. I just got my PH-1, so I'd never charged it prior to Pie.
Make sure your PD charger can do 9v and 12v for fast charge.

Finally yes I have this issue almost thrice a week dunno what causes it considering to factory reset.
got the same issue I have to plug in and pull out the cable one, two, three times until fast charging works!
Same issue... Using ampere to test and a few cables as well.. same issue.
I have some issue, how to fix it?
i'm going to revive this thread quick. Just got a Aukey PA-D1 (https://www.aukey.com/products/dual-port-30w-pd-wall-charger-with-dynamic-detect) and a matching type c-type c cable from them. plug the phone in and it goes from charging slowly, to rapidly, then drops completely, then restarts that whole sequence over and over. usually a restart will fix it, but its every time i plug it in. has anyone found an answer as to why this does this?
btw, running latest android 9, with june patch....
It happens to me only with power bank that supports PD.
It says charging slowly, normal, rapidly and disconnect.
Tried it with Galaxy s8, Galaxy note 8, lg g6 and it charge them great, without disconnect and with speed charge.
Also tried few cables, original cable and 3rd party who supports PD charge.

This has happened to me since I've owned the phone on one of my car chargers I own. It's just that one charger too. Issue has survived one RMA and multiple cables being used. In general I just plug it in and check in couple minutes to make sure it says fast charging and if not, unplug and replug it in.
Who knows if it's the charger's fault or essentials fault. I'm kinda leaning essential because it works just fine on my wife's pixel but the pixel is much more "understanding" in general when it comes to chargers (like it seems to fast charge on qc 3.0 too).
Anyone on Q beta seeing this?
I have been seeing this issue with 3rd party charger for months. I am wondering if anyone who has tried Q beta saw this issue resolved in Q beta.

My understanding is Quick Charge is broken...
So if the wallwart supports QuickCharge in anyway... It's trouble...
It has been that way for me on every iteration and security patch going back to 11/17 or so...
Somewhere... Way deep in the forum covered by ETA requests and useless banter... There's an article linked about how the PH-1 requests too much voltage from QuickCharge and forces it to reset...
This is an issue at the hardware level... And the only workaround is to make sure your charge brick does not support QC at all

Just figured I'd chime in as well. I'm experiencing the "Charging / Charging Slowly / Charging Rapidly" issue with my USB-C Car charger. One a Verizon branded and one an Anker branded. I know the Anker one is a "Q.C." one because it says it right on the device - but with the Q.C. enabled one, I only get "Charging Slowly" on it (so slow in fact, that the battery actually drains on the device). With the Verizon charger, I get the "charging loop".
Q beta 4 resolved this issue for me but it's back on both beta 5 and 6 . I've tried the OEM charger, a Nexus 6p charger, a OnePlus 7 charger and a Samsung Galaxy note 9 charger. They all cycle between charging slowly/ charging/ charging rapidly and not charging.
Has absolutely nothing to do with third party cables not being up to Power Delivery specification (at least in my extensive experience with this God-forsaken no end in sight charge speed bug. I've had absolutely asinine experiences with it myself where I've routinely {more than 25% of the time) had under 1000ma upon fresh plug in with battery below 30%. Also worth noting that I've seen the problem albeit less often pop up with USB a to c cables and ports as well.
