Wireless charging constantly pauses - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers

I just received and started using the RAM mount tough charge with X grip wireless charger that I use for a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. https://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-HOL-UN12WB
I use it to attach and use my phone on my wheelchair. The charger is connected to a regular USB port which draws power from the power wheelchair batteries. As I use my phone, the wireless charging constantly and randomly stops working and the phone keeps on popping up that the wireless charging is paused with the light of the charger going red but then several seconds later it will start working again and the light turns green. I don't know if it's related but I have noticed the phone does get hot while charging on this particular charger as I use the phone. I just recently received a notification saying it was paused because the phone got too hot. I also turned off the fast wireless charging setting on my phone. I haven't had the same issue or have the first day it got too hot with other wireless chargers using the same USB connection of the wheelchair and plugged into a regular wall outlet. Do you have any suggestion to fix this issue? Is there a possibility I have a defective unit? If you can't think of a fix, is there a way anybody has figured out how to disable the wireless charging paused and the wireless charging pop-up notifications? It is quite annoying because when it starts charging the notification takes up much of the screen in the center. Thanks in advance.

That is only 10W charger so it can't do quick charge.
But maybe there is defekt in the wireless charger. Also rare names usually is typical China product that isn't well known and usually are poorly made so problems like these may occur

It is actually a quite reputable company that makes lots of phone and tablet mounts. I will contact the company because it sounds like it could be a defective product. I was just seeing if anybody have ideas. It could be an overheating issue. As it charges, the temperature moves anywhere between 96 degrees Fahrenheit + 106 degrees Fahrenheit. Is that a normal temperature range?

Is there a way to get rid of the wireless notification when it is charging and paused? Especially when it starts charging the pop-up is annoying

I just looked up the information for the USB charging port adapter for the wheelchair. It says it can power up to 1.5A at 5V. Would there be an issue if the wireless charger is 10W?

There might be an issue. If the USB port can only supply 7.5W then it will be impossible for the wireless charger to send 10W to the phone. Subtract losses for wireless charging inefficiency and you'd be lucky to see even 5W arrive at the phone. Depending on how good the link is from charger to phone in terms of gap and alignment you might get even less.

It's not just you. Mine has been doing that the last couple weeks too. On an older samsung wireless charger.
Seems like it started after one of the software updates, but can't be positive.
I just installed the android 11 update and am going to see if that fixes it. My wireless charger is at work so can't try it out until tomorrow.
I will say the phone is very noticeably faster after the android 11 update.

Skyrocket can't function as GPS Navigator?

This weekend I went on a trip and decided to try out using my Skyrocket as a GPS navigator using Google Navigation. I had my phone mounted and plugged in the whole time for about a 2 hour trip. The screen was on the whole time usually at high brightness (it would dim every once in a while.) When I removed my phone from the mount I noticed the power was down to the low 60's, which struck me as slightly odd since it was plugged into the charger the whole time. The next day I tried to use it as a GPS system again, but even as it was plugged in, this time I literally saw the battery gauge draining. When I turned off navigation and the screen the phone would finally start charging.
Is this a common thing or is there an issue with my phone or possibly my charger? Does doing all those things really drain the battery faster than it can charge it? One last note is that I was not in an LTE area during this, or at least not the whole time (I only noticed it was LTE at one time during the trip.) When I saw my battery draining in front of me I definitely was not in an LTE area.
Might be your charger. I'm having no problems using it as my primary driving, hiking and general outdoor GPS unit. When on car charger, it's charging faster then it drains.
I believe my charger is an old Motorola car charger that came with my wife's old dumbphone. It's actually not even a Micro-USB charger, but rather a Mini-USB with an adapter.
This may be a dumb question, but the actual charging port shouldn't be the issue right? I'm assuming those are always the same standard.
Check the car charger amperage output. I have an old car charger to USB that only puts out 750mA and another thats puts out 1A. Anything less than 1A with the navigation running (which means the screen and GPS stay on, of course), and it'll still drain the battery (and even at 1A it may still drain).
I've been putting off getting a powerful enough car charger myself. You'll need one that puts out 1-2A I would think. Most of the common ones off the shelf are 1A or less, and I've heard that some chargers reported max output is not as good as reported.

i second this...my phone won't even charge on some wall chargers, unless 700mAh or higher. let alone do any battery heavy functions like GPS. get something with at least 1a output
I'll try swapping the chargers. I have an overpriced AT&T one that I got for free that is collecting dust.
If the charger has 1A output then it should be OK
I'm having the same problem with my Skyrocket and cheapy charger that I bought at Fry's. Use the navigation with screen on and my battery is less than when I plugged it in.
Going to buy this combo 2A and 1A charger.

Its the amount of mah your charger is putting out. Not the phone. The charger is not supplying enough power

When I was looking for a more powerful option, I saw that one on Amazon as well. My only hesitation at buying it was why it was so much cheaper than all comparable options at local stores, or even online...I've heard that the cheapie chargers may not actually output what they say...though for $4 plus shipping, I guess it's not much of a gamble. Let us know how it performs!
P.S.-Pulled up the reviews...not too many positive ones (though 1 or 2 were good): http://www.amazon.com/GTMax-2-Port-...iewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending
Its actually more than just the charger output that is a problem. If the center two pins on the USB connection aren't shorted, the phone will treat it as a USB connection to a computer, not an AC connection from the wall, and only draw a max 500mah. I had bought a 1amp and 2 amp charger for my car and would get the same results as the 500. I started to think it was my car limiting my output!
But I then found an article detailing this problem that I've since lost the link to, but the method worked. Pop open the charger and solder the 2 middle connectors together and all is good.
I don't know why the charger manufacturers don't know this... Or maybe this phone is doing something new? Maybe someone makes a USB-> micro USB with the center pair shorted in cable?

Just Google "Solder USB Car Charger" and you'll find plenty of tutorials about how to do that. Personally I'd rather just buy one that out of the box works.
Tried out my AT&T charger (which can be found here) and it worked perfectly. Set up the GPS and everything and now it will charge even while doing all that stuff. Thanks for the help
I have the same issue with my SkyRocket. LTE makes no difference. If I'm using Google Navigation or Waze and the Screen is on my charger/phone can't keep up with the battery drain. If I turn the screen off and keep the GPS app running the battery either doesn't drain or doesn't drain as fast.
I've checked my car charger and it's one of those dual usb ones, with a 1 amp port and a 2.1 amp port. It has no indication of which port is which, so I don't know what port I'm using at any particular time. I've tried both and the effects are the same.
Regardless, when the phone is plugged in to that charger the phone reports that it's an AC charger. Supposedly that means I'm getting at least 1 amp, right? So why is 1 amp not enough?
I don't like the car charger you guys suggested because it has the curly cord. I'd rather use a car charger that doesn't come with a cable so I can plug in my own usb cable.
Any suggestions?

Stock charger - charges slow and drops battery

Hello there,
I decided to open this thread as I've now had a bunch of issues with the stock charger that came with the device and it would be interesting to know if there's anyone else who's having this type of issues.
The exact issues that I've been having with the stock charger seems to be that the charger doesn't output enough of a amperage for the tablet to hold charge while in use, and even when it's not in use it takes almost 7-8 hours to charge from 50% up to 100%. It's as slow as if I would charge it from a regular USB port, if not, even slower and I don't really know why exactly this happens as it says that it's charging from AC adapter in settings.
To comfirm my issue was not related to the tablet itself, I used another charger that's rated at similar specs to the stock charger (2.1A) but with the same Micro-Usb cable that came with the tab. With that charger, it charged up from 50% extremely fast (around 1,5 hour) and I could even use the tablet while charging without any battery drops. So that comfirms two things, it's not related to the tablet or data cable but to the actual charger itself.
Anyone else that's been having this type of issues with the stock charger?
My tab needs max. about 3 hours to charge full and imo it's ok. Tried charging during Half Life2 gaming and can confirm that there's not a lot of charging going on, maybe 1or 2% in an hour. But that's ok for me, as long as it doesn't start to get emty while charging during gaming.
The charger is defective or don't bring enough power to the unit. I also get negative charge while playing high end games an also increase when i am, on Optimized mode. Many others has reported this situation on GeForce forums but nVidia is quiet about it.

I get negative charge even when doing basic tasks like listen to music or watch a video with the stock charger, so I guess my charger is faulty. I've already reported the issue to Amazon and they gave me a 50GBP partial refund (80 USD!) because of the faulty charger without having to ship anything back.
I just find it odd that theres many people that have the issue and nvidia doesn't seem to do anything about it either!

If i were you, i'll check with another charger doing normal stuff, if you still get negative charger maybe it could be your battery itself.

My guess is that a faulty cable or the charger itself is causing D+ and D- to not be shorted together by the charger, resulting in the tablet thinking it's charging from a USB port instead of a dedicated charger.
Does device status report charging state as Charging (USB) instead of Charging (AC)?
I admit I never even unwrapped the stock charger, I've got one of those nice Anker 40W 5-port chargers along with a bunch of 24/28AWG MicroUSB cables from Monoprice.

The charger appears as AC in settings, so it should be charging faster than it does.
I'm using a charger similar to what you use right now, a Dodocool 4 port charger that works great! However, I'm using the stock cable.
First make sure you are using stock charger and cable.
If you see discharge during non intensive activities you may have a defective charger. Nvidia has rma'd the charger by itself for people.
I have the same issue but my charging time is a bit better 3-4 hours. But what is really annoying that it makes a lot of electrical noise. I have a lot of things that I charge, but I have never heard this so load earlier. Its coming from the adapter, I can cleary hear from 3m. Anybody has similar issue? I try to record the sound, and send to nvidia. Maybe they will react.

I can confirm that this combo works a treat for my NST. I use it to simultaneously charge my G3, NST, N7 and some small LiPos. Fast charge.
Sorry to dig up this thread but I've had the same issue and i was WTF-ing like crazy until i switch the USB cable to a charging cable i got from a power bank... The charge time dropped from 6-7 hours to 2-3 hours. I'm not sure why, perhaps my cable is faulty or perhaps it was meant to charge like this, or perhaps it is supposed to be used to connect a controller only (both ends seem to have a controller icon on them)?

It's not due to the MicroUSB cable but due to a wallwart that's messing up the amperage I believe, as I've used the MicroUSB cable with other wallwarts and it charges normally then

You are correct. I charged the tablet at home 2 times this weekend and it's definitely an issue with the charger as it sometimes charges properly and sometimes it does not.

A bit hard to do since i got it from amazon.com when i was in the US (back in EU now) and there's no point in returning the tablet just for a semi faulty charger.

Contact amazon and tell them exactly about the issue, they'll compensate you for it probably. I got 50£ back from Amazon.co.uk for the broken charger, which is quite a bit of money.

Thanks for the tip, i'll give that a try
Well, same thing here. Just noticed it while using Skype. Battery dropped from 100% to 95% pretty quickly while charging.
I'm going to ask Amazon for another charger or compensation.
I have a 2.4A charger and still battery no good.
I lose around 2% per min of battery charge while idling with battery saving features on (2 cores shut off, CPU frequency set at 50% and Framerate locked at 30FPS) when ingame the battery drops 2-3 times faster. takes 2 hours to charge from 97% to 100% and 2 mins to lose that charge. I think I bought a Tablet that has a faulty battery as this is not acceptable. My tablet is unusable as the battery takes a couple of mins to lose 3% of charge and a couple of hours to regain the 3% charge only to lose that charge (and then some) when I try to use the tablet.

wireless charging question

I have long ignored wireless charging, because it's so much slower than wired fast-charging. I keep seeing mentions of the Note wireless charging capability, but I'm still unclear on whether wireless is now as fast? Doubt it, but am I wrong? Would especially love a fast wireless charging solution in the car, that was as fast as the fasted wired option. Does that exist yet? Or do I need to check again in 2-3 years?
Wireless charging is not as fast. Note9 also uses adaptive fast charging 2.0. Fast but not as fast as other standards. I would concern myself about fast charging only when needed. I use wireless charging exclusively at night to slow charge my battery. I think Samsung chose adaptive 2.0 to help with longevity of phone because fast charging does not help with longevity of battery. I am still pressuring companies to unseal the batteries. The environment is more important than being able to take a shower with your phone or not having to worry about dropping it in the toilet because you can't wait five minutes.
The appeal of wireless charging is so you didn't have to reach for a power cord to plug in your phone every time you wanted to charge it. I just upgraded to the Note 9 from my Note 4. When I had a new battery in it, wireless charging only took about 20 minutes longer than the cord. As the battery got older, it did seem to take longer with the wireless charging. For me, if I'm just at home, I use wireless charging. If I'm about to go out in the next 30 minutes for a while and the battery power is kinda low, I plug it in to get a fast full charge. Plugging in the phone all the time is a drag. You are missing out on a cool feature while wasting years waiting for something better. I keep a separate power cord next to my wireless charger. That way I can decide if I just want the phone to get charged using wireless, or if I need a fast quick charge with the cord. You aren't just stuck with wireless charging just because you bought one. A flat wireless charger is just $15 on Amazon. It works just as well as the $60 Duo charger from Samsung, although it does offer fast charging. Not worth that kind of money though. Plus it is big and takes up too much space.

I have one. Works well. Got it from Indiegogo, backed a project called the MAGQI X: The Smartest Wireless Car Charger Mount...
It charges faily well but I did find on my Note 8 it was only just holding power as I used GPS...Mind you, that could be caused by the case I had it in, my Note 9 seems to pick up the power pretty quick...
So, can the Note 9 handle the 12W wireless charge or is it limited to 10W? I see the comment above regarding the Duo Dock, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it supports it and I have not been able to find the exact spec on the matter elsewhere to confirm one way or another.

Anyone else having wireless charger issues?

I have a basic cheap qi charger I used with my last phone, never had an issue. With my Mi 10 Ultra it only charges correctly like 1/10 times when I place it down on the charger. The weird thing is it shows it's charging, the pad and phone get warm which means electricity is flowing somehow, but the phone drops in battery instead of charging... I don't even know what to say or do. Kind of tempted to buy that 55w wireless charger though.
I had a similar issue but found that I had a few stock apps going in the background draining the battery quicker than it could charge (it was a cheap low wattage charger). Force closed the apps and killed a couple of processes and it steadily increased. Not ideal but I took that as a sign of using a cheap wireless charger.
Still on the stock chinese Rom until I get out of unlock jail so if you're on the EU Rom this might not help.
I bought the 55W wireless charger with my phone and it's brilliant.
I tested my previous Samsung 15w wireless charger & Huawei 15w charger with the Ultra and the charging speed was a trickle (according to Accubattery app) and near unusable on the phone so will probably go for the Xiaomi 55w charger from Aliexpress which some sellers seem to be offering the 65w charging brick with.
Will sell the 2 chargers I have whci should pay for the replacement
Does anyone have a source other than aliexpress/baba for the 55w wireless charger? I don't want to wait over a month for it.
Eh... I found other sites where it cost more and took longer to ship. I decided the fastest way to get it was to buy it from the fastest shipping seller on aliexpress and not delay any more
mine seems to have stopped saying fast charging when using my wireless charger, possibly since moving to the EU rom.
Just as proof this phone has something fundamentally wrong with its Qi charging compatibility, the charger only draws 2-3w from the wall when it's not working right. It uses 8+ when it's charging right. That's not the charger. The phone is doing something wrong.
2-3w appears to be what it draws when it's doing the detection algorithm to make sure it's compatible and will accept a charge. It does the same thing on my old s20+ but then goes up in wattage when it's actually charging to 9+.
I am using the 20W wireless car charger together with the 55W wireless charger (with 65watt GAN charger), and both of them works fine and fast. Just to beware that the car wireless charger is quite heavy and may stress your AC vents.
Something has definitely changed since moving to the EU rom. On the CN rom, it would activate the fan in my Huawei charger and say fast charging, now no fan and no fast charging.
Have you added it as a bug on the EU forum. It's ok noting it here but it needs to go on the bugs list to be noticed

Question S22 Ultra Android Auto Battery Drain

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.

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.

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.
