Is anyone else finding that the charging on the gear s3 takes forever? The moto 360 you could easily top off in an hour or so, but the gear s3 seems to take 2 and a half hours to charge fully! I mean phones with 3000 mah batteries charge faster than that.
Mine charges a bit faster than 2.5 hours (although I never drain it to 0%), however the slow charging time can be related to wireless charging.
Take a phone with a 3000mAh battery, and try charging it wirelessly and you'll see what I mean.

I have done that. I still think the phone takes maybe 4 hours... But the battery in my phone is nearly 10x as big so it should take longer. I just wonder if it is something off about the charging solution Samsung is using because they seem to not be using the standard qi wireless charging.
I suspect Samsung has slowed charging time down and is being over cautious after the Note 7 issues.
yea the charging time is slow on mines too. this is my first smartwatch so cant really compare it to others
It's because the charger is only a 700ma
Try putting the watch on airplane mode while charging. You're not wearing it anyways so give that a try. Especially if you have the watch set to connect automatically to WiFi or LTE when it disconnects from Bluetooth and you walk away out of range.
I got the phone for awhile,
the phone itself is running very well.
but i have another concern,
i start to hear the super charger when it is idle (not charging but plugged into the wall)
when it is charging, it is completely silence.
Do you also hear the noise from the charger too?
Can't say I have noticed that. But I always turn chargers off when not in use. It's safer.
I sit close to one at night, in total silence, and I can't say I've ever heard any noise coming from it.

Yeah, I heard it too. I have two chargers and both do the noise.
What kind of a noise? Like a humming sound? Electrical buzzing?

Better call them Ghost Buster folks.
On a more serious note, never experienced anything like it. Turn off your charger when you're not using. Better charger life longevity.
This has been a thing with LG chargers for years. For some reason they just hum or buzz.
I wouldn't worry about longevity tbh. Any good quality charger will largely outlast the device it hooks to. Heck my 1995 Motorola Flare charger still works.
If the buzzing gets on your nerves you can always get one of those cheap socket adapters with an on/off switch (see attached).

I used to get that on my old Samsung chargers. Never heard anything with my mate 9 charger tho. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.
Thank you for the input for using a switch to turn it off when not using...
but the most important point is, i have a friend who also own a Mate 9, his charger is dead silence when charging or idle.
The sound is more or less like buzz (but very little sound)

I can confirm your charger noises. Wired thing. Better unplug the charger, because noise means it is burning up energy!
Not to be dumb but is it your outlet? Have you tried a different one? Mine is completely silent

Notice this as well one night while reading on the phone in bed. Mine does it with or without charging. I've also experienced this with a Sony adapter, and Samsung. I have a few devices plugged into a 8 prong switched grounded outlet... I just flip the switch off in the morning and this this actually lasts until bedtime??

Phone chargers are step-down switching power supplies.
They are called switching power supplies, because electrical current flowing into coils or capacitors is always switched on and off to get a desired amount of electrical energy saved inside this energy storages to get lower voltage than the power line. They are verry efficient and much smaller than conventional ones.
Because of the current switching the plates of the capacitor or the windings of the coil can vibrate and cause this sounds.
It depends on the components if there is a sound or not and can vary from batch to batch.
So no worry if the supply creates silent noise, its working fully, only different components are used! (as long as it is no super cheap china power supply, they could be very dangerous)
And i think the power supply lives as long as the phone. Computer or TV power supplys are always plugged in too and they have the same technology.
But i always unplug the power supply to save enegy
Hi,
I added wireless charging to my P20 by adding a thin charging pad to the back of the phone and connecting
it to the USB-C port. All seems to be fine but I have an odd issue when I charge the phone. When the power
hits 100% the phone beeps and turns on. Depending on the wireless charger I use this repeats after a few
minutes which is really annoying especially at night. Does anybody know how to stop this.

Which charging pad and station you bought?
I am using this receiver https://smile.amazon.de/gp/product/B075L748MN/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and different charges for example a stand from Anker.

It's because the phone disconnect and connects itself everytime..
Looks like a quality issue of the pad for me
On Amazon more people complain about this problem
I'm wondering if anyone has run into the S22 Ultra problem where the battery drains faster than it can be charged. I'm using Android Auto on my car's screen, so AA is active while I am driving and navigating. The S22U's screen is off. It doesn't matter if I am using wireless AA with a phone holder with built in 15W wireless charging, or wireless AA and the phone plugged into an AC fast charger, or wired AA with my phone plugged into my car's USB C port, the battery on the phone will actually drain faster than it can be charged. I did not have this problem with my S21U. With that phone, after a 3 or 4 hour drive, the battery would be at 100%. With the S22U, it would never reach 100%, but be at 75% or 80% at my destination. Is Android Auto that much of a battery hog on the S22U?

Using my S22 Ultra U1 with wired AA always charges my phone to 100% long before reaching my destination. Using wireless is another story. Did you make sure your fast charging settings are on?

Yep, fast charging is on. And I'm using an AC charger that says "Super Fast Charging 2.0" when on my house current. Could be limited by the AC power plug in my car, but it should still charge faster than it drains I think.
Make sure the charger is good and it's power source as well. Use the correct Samsung cable, limit length to 3 feet.
If the device is drawing too much current the power controller will ramp down the charge current to protect the battery.
Some apps can run with the display off without skewing the charge curve if they don't draw too much current. High battery temperature can also cause this.
It could be a glitch or error in the firmware if the current draw is actually low. Or maybe it part of Samsung's new thermal paranoia. Sammy's just full of rude surprises lately...

The car inverter could be interacting with the brick's switching power supply or the power controller.
Fast charging with disengage if the preset conditions aren't met and maintained.

Charger and cable should be OK. Next time I'm on a long drive I will check the power draw. I have a cable that tells me how many watts is being drawn.

Charging issues can be hard to troubleshoot.
In general these devices shouldn't be charged while in use. The most I'll do is sometimes listening with the Buds+ using Poweramp. The N10+ will tolerate this.
Google Services and such tend to use a fair amount of power as may the modem especially if switching between cell towers.
Once fast charging disengages it likely won't reengage unless the charging power is cycled.
So one high current usage spike is all it takes.

Agreed, I've used 65 watt A/C chargers in the car outlet before and work pretty much the same as in the house. Strange that your phone is behaving this way. I have a 2021 Bronco Sport and the wired (usb-c) is plenty strong enough to charge the phone while on AA. The previous Subaru was questionable at times but usually pulled it off on my S21 Ultra. Any way you can check the charging voltage /amperage while using you phone in the car?

The same it's for me, but I noticed that if I rotate the cable the phone will not drain anymore, I know that's weird, but this is the behaviour...Sometimes it's working, sometimes it's not... It depends also if I'm using Waze+Youtube, or only Waze

I've encountered this too. If I plug in a cable one way, charges slowly. If I flip the cable 180°, it charges normally. This also happened on my Note 10+ 5G, and I've seen it happen on my daughter's S22 and S10. I think it is a cable problem, because with some cables I have this issue, but not with other cables. Not all USB-C cables are created equal. Also not all car USB ports or chargers are created equal.
I normally use wireless charging and connect to my car via BT though. I have an iOttie wireless charger in my car and haven't run into this problem. I have it mounted so that an A/C vent blows on the phone to prevent overheating from sunlight. I use Waze and Samsung Music regularly.
I have purchased 3 Port 65W charger for s22 Ultra & its charge Super Fast but there is didn't mention anything about GaN, If it won't have GaN then does my charger is useless?
I have a 2020 Honda CR-V and plug it in wired to the USB port and it charges fine. Doesn't drain or anything. I also have a Weather tech phone cup holder where the Cup is sitting about 8 inches in front of the charge port. So I got the shortest braided cable I could find for neatness which is 18 inches in length.
This should not happen unless there's a problem on your phone coz my phone always charges faster than drain and stays at 100% with power bank only(no fast charge), using navigation map and spotify.

Not a desirable configuration...
The higher the cell voltage and temperature, the faster an Li degrades.
Li's prefer frequent midrange power cycling as opposed to complete charge cycles or the worst staying at or near a full charge state.
If the display is on it's typical behavior for charging to ramp down even stop in order to protect the battery.
Wireless charging is awful on this device. No matter what case (or even no case), my phone must often does not charge wirelessly. I've tried multiple chargers. I get the "connected; not charging" message. Sometimes it works, but seems to need to be in the exact spot. Even then, it often stops charging after a while or drains faster than it charges.
Any insight or solution to this?
This is a stock pixel 7 pro, bootloader still locked. Bought from Google store and activated on T-mobile.
What wireless charging pad are you using?
I was having all the same thoughts as you. Had a couple Samsung "fast" wireless chargers. However, bought a new one Costco that's not Samsung and it works as expected. Never have to realign or wake up to a dead phone anymore.
my rooted p7p with tq1a.230205.002
is charging well with wireless pads and wireless powerbanks.
always heating up p7p tho
I don't know why people like using Samsung but I prefer other brands
the backrooms​
My Pixel 7 Pro works fine using this 30w Wireless Charger from Amazon - Nanami 30W Max Wireless Charger
This is the only thing missing from the OnePlus 11 - but I don't care...

A variety that all worked great with my Samsung s20. Ankers, Samsung, and a few generics that worked better. None work well with the pixel 7 pro
I'm using the Belkin 15w charger and it seems to be working well.
I use the wireless charging dock I bought for my OnePlus9 Pro. Never had an issue with charging

In my case, I figured out my wireless charging is unstable if my phone is in any condition where it might get at all warm. The Pixel 7s are just lousy at staying cool, and once the temperature rises to high 30/low 40C (which doesn't take much at all), wireless charging is severely throttled if not completely stopped. So if it's sunny out, I understand my phone won't charge in my car mount. The sun just makes it too hot, and it won't bother (no matter how cool I keep it in my car, direct sunlight on the phone is too much). If it's sitting on my wireless charger and I decide to try and use my phone while it charges, I understand odds are VERY high it will get too hot and stop charging. And if it stops charging because it has overheated, I know now to give up rather than keep readjusting it on the wireless charger, because even if it's not charging, if it's trying, it's still making the phone hotter, which is making it take even longer to cool down and resume charging. So I just take it off and don't bother putting it back on until it's gotten a chance to settle first.
It's finicky and irritating that their flagship has such lousy thermal control, but knowing that my wireless charging issues are linked to my phone's temperature has helped me understand how to keep my phone charged. Those who only charge wirelessly without ever trying to use the phone and only in particularly cool environments may never observe any wireless charging issues at all.

I noticed this too
I find Power saver with less brightness helps, but if it gets hot it's not charging at all
No problems with 2 different wireless chargers with a transparent case.
I measured the power usage with an external device and its mostly the charger uses 14 watts power between 0 and 80%. (don't forget the energy loss with this technology!)
No real overheating. But placing the device correctly affects the power draw a lot.
I agree. It's terrible, no matter what charging pad i use, it always glitchy.
Not to mention, the reverse charging won't work properly either. Plenty of time i need to recharge my buds while travelling to no avail.
I struggled with wireless chargers for P7P too, I tried at least 4 with varying degrees of success but ultimately I just ended up using some of the store credit I got for buying to the phone to get a Pixel Stand 2 and it works great.
I can happily say : MARCH RELEASE FIXED MY WIRELESS CHARGING ISSUE.
