I bought an aftermarket 10W wireless charger. When I first got the phone it would rapid charge when I placed the phone on it. As of a few weeks ago it will only charge slowly. In researching it appears google has done something that will only let the phone rapid charge on the pixel stand ($80) or a yet to be released google approved Belkin charger ($60) Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to work around this? I love the phone but google, not so much if this is what they do to users.

There's not much you can do about it. Not right now anyway. That said, your charger never really fast charged like it said it was. From the day it the Pixel 3 was released it would only slow charge on an after market wireless charger. The fact that it said it was charging rapidly was a bug. Google fixed the bug in the November security update so the phone would correctly report that it wasn't fast charging.

Except that my battery actually did rapid charge. When I first got it it would charge a good 30 or 40 per cent in a half hour. The battery level confirmed it. Now it doesn't.

I've plugged my Shield into the charger like 4 or 5 hours ago, now I was wondering why it was still charging, so I turned it on and the battery was at 60%, charging.
When I plugged it in, it was at like 10%.
The first charge took quite long too, I was hoping it charges faster by the second or third charge. But it doesn't.
Do you guys experience the same thing or should I try a different charger?
I measured the output of the charger and the results seem to be normal: 5,28V @2,48A

I would suggest trying a different cable and charging with your Shield powered down.
I did charge it when it was completely off, I also tried an other cable and charger and that didn't seemed to help much.
At least.. it's fully charged now after charging it for almost an entire day...
Do what most device owners do.. Charge the stuff overnight and don't worry about how long it takes... Since you are asleep and not using it anyways.
I think is a problem with you HW i mean you have a defect shield, take your waranty and return the shield to the store you bought it, or call nvidia, have you tried to calibrate your battery ? maybe that will help.
how do I calibrate it?
And I'm not sure if I can RMA it because I'm from Europe and bought it from a private Ebay dealer.
New though, not used.
edit: I noticed that it charges faster when its turned on. weird behavior isn't it?

To calibrate a battery such as the one the shield uses, you have to fully discharge it till the shield shuts off. Then leaving it off fully charge it. Do not use it while charging or interrupt the charging.
Wireless charging seems flaky at best. Sometimes, it works like a champ. Sometimes, my phone will stop charging, start charging, stop charging, start charging, etc. until I get annoyed, pick it up, and put it back on the charger. I left it on the charger overnight and found it at 87% this morning. I don't know if it wasn't charging properly that whole time, or if it got to 100% and then just stopped charging. Any tips on this? Anyone else having similar issues?
FYI - this is the Samsung charging pad and the phone with no case or anything on it.
No issues here. Work flawlessly
I'm also having the issue with wireless charging starting and stopping. My charging pad, however is an ebay qi pad. Seems very position dependent on both of the pads I was using successfully with my S3.
The behavior is that it will start charging, then 10 seconds to a minute later stop. Then start....then stop...
S6
I have the sony charging pad and I've noticed my S6 stops charging when I get any kind of notification...
No issues here
you shall use 2A chargers to be effective.
I do. I have an official Samsung 2A charger with an official Samsung USB cable attached to an official Samsung wireless charger.
I haven't paid attention to it throughout the day, but I did notice that if I place my phone on the wireless charger it seems to charge to 100% and then it will stop charging. I know a few nights ago the samsung puck was green when I fell asleep but in the morning when I woke up I was down to 92%. I will be taking the wireless charger with me to work tomorrow so I will know for sure if it stops charging at 100% or if it does what you are describing.
Both my gf and I bought our Galaxy s6 edge on release day at Bestbuy and with the preorder the wireless chargers we're included free. The past 2 nights both of our phones have had this issue. Mine only charged to 87% yesterday and 93% today. Hers was at 88% yestwrday and 96%today.
I'm curious if the wireless charger takes a much longer time to completely charge the device to 100%.
For me better wireless charger than wire... I think I've better battety life.
With wireless charging I use wire charger included.

iirc thats supposed to happen to prevent overcharging.
Does wireless charge work with OTG plugged in?

Thats makes sense but I've my wireless charger next to be bedside table and I was woken up but the charger plugged in notification sound constancy going off.
It would be really great to turn those sounds off. Also, you have to assume that there's some battery level where it will restart wireless charging, right?

This is what I was hoping for when I said above that I saw it hit 100% and then overnight it drained to 92%. I would hope that if it falls below 97% or so that it would charge again to 100% so it keeps cycling but right now I am not sure if it does it.
I've noticed the exact same problem with mine. I got the free Samsung official wireless charger from Best Buy. The phone charges to 100% every night but when it finishes, usually around 3 or 4 a.m., it just stops charging and doesn't start again. So this means that every day when I wake up my phone has drained to around 90%. This never happened with my Nexus 5 on a generic wireless charger. It always kept it topped up until I remove the phone. This is really annoying.
BTW if you go into the settings menu under battery, you can see exactly when your phone stopped charging.

that sounds like the best reason untill i hear anything more concrete, might try charging tonight direct via the cable and see if it hits 100%
but with no replaceable battery they may have introduced this to prolong the life of the battery.
I totally get not overcharging. But it's got to kick back on at some point. Leaving your phone on a charger overnight should basically guarantee 100% in the morning. Maybe at 97% it could kick back on, or at 100%, it could go into a trickle mode. I'm sure some custom development will come along and fix this problem.
Here's hoping for an update or something through soon. Gonna test a full charge before tonight and see if it actually states it reaches 100%
I'll post what I find.

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?
Whatever OTA update I got yesterday for Samsung Pay

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....
I've had the GS7 for a couple weeks now and am very pleased with the phone! I got my free wireless charger with the Samsung Pay promotion they had going and have been using it the past few nights.
First night, worked great. Next night, woke up and it was at 37% battery and not charging. I chalked that up to me not centering the phone on the charger or something. Next night I made sure it was charging as I left it on the charger and the next morning it had 83%...
I've had a couple nights since then where the phone isn't close to 100%, often in the 70s or 80s. Anyone else experienced this problem or know what might be happening?
Thanks!
I've just started having the same problem, did you ever get it fixed?
just had the same problem last night.
Random question: How much time does it take charge via wireless fast charger
Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
Is your charger fast charging or normal charging?
Make sure you're using the original Samsung fast charger and cable. It won't correctly otherwise
Hi all,
I'm new to Samsung, with S8+ EMEA version (non-Qualcomm CPU) for ~3 months now.
This is after ~10 year with HTC while the last unit (up until 3 months ago) was the M9.
Using the same good quick car charger (compatible QC2.0) and different (original) cable I gets much slower charging with the S8+ vs. the HTC.
The scenario is the same in terms of applications and usage and both units confirm this is a "Quick charge" but the S8+ is raising in ~1% per 10 minutes while HTC did ~1% per 2 minutes.
Both were in the same light conditions, same battery temperature and such so I really wonder what the source is.
The S8+ will be fast charging indeed if stays unused in the same charger...
Thanks,
Oren
Just a guess, I believe it's heat management. Quick Change will slow down if the phone/battery is getting too hot to protect the battery. Mine behaves the same, it does not charge quick at all when I have Waze running.

Thanks for the reply, but as I wrote earlier, I'm aware of this and there is no temperature issues while I'm checking.
Battery is in the level of 30c and less.

Got the same problem . In my case was the cable and the charger I use before aukey quick charge 2.0 .it was a faulty cable solved. Go on playstore and search for ampere application check there how much you have and report back here we can compare to see if you got a faulty charger or USB cable

I'm also with Aukey quick charge 2 and the original Samsung USB cable but.
The fact is that it does indicate it's fast charging on the notifications bar.
Also, if it's closed, it does charge fast so cable and charger are fine.
The problem is somehow with the charging control while it's being used with Waze, for example, then the HTC was progressing in the charge while Samsung doesn't much proceed...

I done this yesterday . I bought also the bk disabler package for 1.99£ from app store and I can ensure you that the charging is so fast now
I am not make advertising or sell something I just wanted to help you. Yesterday got 6.30 hours screen on time and the charging time decreased
https://youtu.be/Y9GX88jFIE0
My conclusion is that probably the large screen with the high brightness in daylight is the reason for the slow charge.
Usually, during night time, the same charger, cable and applications will result in much better charging progress.
Again, temperature is not a factor as I do cool it if needed and check the battery temporary to assure it is cool.

So I try sorted this about 4 months.
Original cable and adapter and another 2 non original and all time same results. Nowhere it's say nothing about charging. Samsung block proper charging when is display on. I was ask them in chat they told me advice " turn off display when is charging" that is great advice when you need Nav and charging phone.
So I went to Samsung repair centre and they check phone and say all is fine so I told them my problem and they say unofficialy Samsung got some security advise when is charging and display isn't off that charging didn't work not like fast either slow charging is just keep alive.
Google new pixel have temperature block and LG have same thing like Samsung.
I know fast charging will problem with that big display and when will on. Ok but why didn't charge like slow charging. I not need phone charge in 1.5 hours but when I charging 5 hours and got +20% that is Bull****. Then come message " charging was stop then will cool down."
That is full of the Internet now. Many people has same problem.
I'm just interest if another companys Nokia one+ or HTC huawei xiaomi etc has same problem

I still believe it's related to the Note 7 issues, they are more aggressive about keeping the phone battery cool when charging. Just speculation on my part but it kinda makes sense.
As I mentioned before, with htc m9 charging was faster, it is also QC2 qualified phone.
And again, my battery temperature is low, it's against the air conditioning specifically for that purpose.
Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
I think that what you will find is that the phone doesn't go above about 1.5A when the screen is on to keep the phone cool and protect against note 7 issues. I find my phone charges fast enough on Waze with a qc2.0 charger
Is there any solution for this issue? Can root app do something about it?
