Slow Charge With Fast Charger On TouchWiz Roms - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

ofc its a rom issue as when i go back to ics the charging its ok! in jelly bean its very slow! i mean i put on charge all night and only about 20% charged! its not hardware problem, but jb issue. i just dont see anyone else here with note 10.1 complaining about this.
Don't have that problem, Only goit 3hours sleep last night and plugged in note before going to bed. Fully charged from 46% in 3 hours.... You might have a problem with your charger/cable/charging port....
If you have an S2,S3 or Note 2, or an old Gtab, the charger works for your note so you can check where the problem is....
Only charging issue I have is when I use different charger other than the original one then its slow..if I use the original one its fast

The OEM charger supplies 2 Amp hours of current to the battery. If the battery takes any more than 3.5 hours to charge the 7Ahr battery then there is something wrong with the tab or the charger.

Note takes around 5 hours to do a recharge, but if you have extention USB cable of a after market USB connector for longer length it will increase the charging time
Max charging time for me with OEM is about 3.5 hours with power saving mode on and screen off, or around 2.5-3 with the tablet OFF. Thats with a 6-9% battery remaining. Anything much more means something is eating your battery in the background while you are charging.. make sure you use OEM charger.
my charger was slow charging right from the box. They gave me a new one the next day and everything is fine now.
Thats odd. I never had any charging problems when i upgraded to jellybean. Have you compared your unit with someone who also has a note 10.1?
I picked mine up on Thursday and charged it to 100% with the supplied charger and cable, installed the 4.1 system update and used it throughout the following day watching video and general playing. I had it plugged in whilst I was using it and noticed it discharging, odd I thought as it should at least have maintained its charge but after my battery level dropped to 19% on that evening I turned it off completely and left it overnight, this morning it had only charged a further 20%. It has to be a firmware issue as its the only thing thats changed since I first charged it fully without any issues (first charge on 4.0 took approx 3 hours from unboxing).
I also have the same problem. Any solution to this?
I also want a solution to this.
I'm at wits end and feel like smashing this thing.

Power off completely while charging it will go faster.

No. Its still doesn't charge faster. Same result.
Its going back to Samsung today.
That sounds screwy... I have mine on all the time, plug into the wall and about 3 - 5 hours later its fully charged...
Might be the wall charger is the problem, Samsung may have a batch of faulty chargers....
Doubt its the charger. Because its now 100% full but still says charging, not charged like on 4.0.4.
Even my battery stats don't reset anymore.
In my opinion something happened in this OTA. Been viewing many 10.1 forums for a while now and never read anything about charging issues. Since the update, its an issue unless all of us just happened to either have faulty chargers at the same time or we all downloaded the same app at the same time which is the source of the issue. Im gonna say its not neither of those because what did happen, is we all downloaded an OTA at the same time and have since had this issue.
One thing I have noticed that works a little better for me is to do a reboot right before I throw it o the charger. I dont unlock it or anything, just keep it on the charger.
Im thinking of rooting over the weekend and trying a few different ROMs to see what happens.

Just a thought, but lots of people are complaining about this and lots of people are not experiencing a slow charge.
The update has been rolled out in many countries now - so what country are you all in and what sort of mains power do you have? Maybe it's something related to that
Shouldn't matter as the charger is the one in charge of voltage to the Note.
You can use a charger from America in Australia, UK or Europe (with an adaptor of course) and it should charge your note the same everywhere.
I have tested this by using a stepdown transformer to charge my note at 110 volts as well as the normal 240volts we use here in Australia. No difference.
I have an overseas model Note and need an adaptor to connect to the Oz mains. I also have another note bought here in Australia and it works fine using either Australian or overseas charger too at either 110V or 240V...

Samsung galaxy note 10.1 GT-N8010 is charging REALLY slow

I've got samsung galaxy note 10.1 (GT-N8010). A few days ago I wanted to charge it. After a hour or two I saw that it didn't charge at all, the battery percentage was almost stuck (or it even drops down slowly). It only charges when the device is switched off (but it still takes much more time than before...). I'm using the stock charger (2,5A; I've tried with other chargers, but still the same) and the stock cable. I haven't installed any apps that could drain battery. Also no red "X" on the battery icon when charging. I've got all the updates installed (I didn't get any in the last year or even more). I'm running android 4.1.2 (branded) without any root and mods.

charging - amperage/current quickly drops to ~440mA regardless of battery %

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?

Samsung Original Wireless Fast Charger Duo Pad 2.0

I have bought long time ago new version of fast charger duo pad. I use this charger to charge my SM-G977B S10 5g. I used this charger almost from s10 5g was released. It was charging battery from flat in about 1:35 every time when I was using this charger. From about 2 months I have noticed that charging is slower and it takes 2 hours to charge battery from flat. Maybe it's nothing important but the difference is especially noticeable at the beginning of charge process if I have only 10 - 20 minutes to charge it's really noticeable. I thought that I happened after certain update and firstly ignored that because of I wish to have only this type problems in my life. Anyway recently I have seen that if I use both pads and during charging my s10 5g I remove second device from pad s10 will switch to faster charging and I am able to achieve 1:35 charging time the same like before otherwise it charges a little bit over 2 hours. Is it software bug or problem whit my charger? Charger is quite expensive so I prefer to don't buy second one just for testing purpose. Have you noticed slower wireless charging yours s10 after one of recent update? What's the normal charging time for s10 5g on this charger? Thanks
Hi, is the same for me, I use it for about one year and at the beginning one charge (from 20% I never go under that or rarely) take approx 1h40 and it take 2h10 now ....
It's not an a really big problem for day to day use but sometimes it's annoying when you have less time for charge your smartphone.
But I need to say after one year this charger stay in a good condition especially in term of temperature management.
Anyone ?
Hi, an a factory reset solve my problem ?.
Before : 0,5%/H full charge in 3h20
After : 0,8% /H full charge in 2h20 (like at the beginning)
After the reset when put my phone ? on the wireless charger an notification appear "you can program the time when you went to stop the fast charging option to avoid noise and light during the night ? "
I never seen it before, I think ? the problem is that.
My 'fast charge' charger is as slow as the 6 times cheaper one I have had for more than a year, this means that a full charge takes about 3 hours. I bought it because I got a smartwatch and I didn't want to have two chargers on my desk.
I wiped the cache partition but the situation is the same. I followed other tips but nothing helped.
I did not do a phone reset because it takes me a long time to return to the normal state of the phone with passwords and other things and settings.
It is very annoying that samsung does not mention such a situation, as well as the fact that the estimation of the charge is far from the actual charge ... stupid is the one who buys this charger !!!
