hi all,
I'd like to submit you a strange behaviour of my beloved nexus 5.
Suddenly, with every charger and cable I can merely reach 200 mAh, very slow charging that actually doesn't allow the phone to charge up. On the other hand, wireless charging works quite well, at least i can recharge the battery.
What do you think? could it be related to the flex cable/bad usb port? USB otg works....
on the other hand, could it be a motherboard related problem? (but in that case, why does wireless charging work?)
thanks for your ideas guys!

[Solution if you are facing USB-only charging with third-party AC chargers on your Nexus 5]
Hi Guys,
Initially, my Nexus 5 ONLY charged at USB mode with any other charger than the one supplied. I tried 5 chargers including the Trent 2.1A car charger and BB PlayBook high-speed charger. I also tries using the supplied USB cable with another charger but it was a slow-go.
Then, I noticed my buddy's N5 did not exhibit this problem.
My only solution was to reset the phone, log back in and charge with the supplied charger to 100%. Then, it magically started to show AC charging with other charges.
I wanted to share this with others in case they faced the same situation and were considering RMA due to hardware.
Kit Kat still have way too many bugs. (Settings is constantly crashing in the battery menu when I plug the charge in and out on two of our N5s.)

Thanks, I'll try reseting my Nexus 5 when I get home. Although, I havent been able to charge it using any charger not sure if the battery life is reporting correctly too. When you first saw the issue with yours not charging using the cable and ac adapter that came with your Nexus 5 did you happen to notice if your device was still asking you to connect the charger or not? Mine is still telling me I need to connect the charger or cable, even though I have my USB plugged into the device. I can send commands to the phone fine using adb or fastboot, just wont charge.
Unfortunately your trick didn't work for me with my N5. My N5 charges off of SOME chargers (The N4, N5, N7 2012, and Samsung 2.1 Chargers, as well as my EasyACC 1200 battery pack, only port 1.3 volt, all others show as USB.) My car charger fails, Duracell 2 USB port with 2A output, and so does every other battery pack that I own fail with charging. All report USB Mode. I think it has to do with the Quickcharge 2.0 or possibly the fact that this has G2 innards to an extent. The G2 has quite a few chargers reporting as "Slow Charge" rather than "Fast Charge." Quite Irksome but I suspect it will be resolved with an update soon.
To confirm that it wasn't a hardware problem of my N5, I borrowed a Coworker's N5 and experienced the same thing on my chargers.

I returned my first nexus 5 to google because it did not charge unless it was with the original charger. I tried it with the USB charging port on my radio and also a sony USB cable + plug combo and the charge was terribly slow. I have a nexus 4 and 7 and they had no issues charging this way so thought it was a fault with the handset.
When I received my replacement I was really hoping this issue was resolved but sadly not. The second handset had the same issue. I then researched online and came across this forum post. I reset the handset, charged it to 100% with the cable and plug provided with the phone. Just to be on the safe side I discharged the handset fully and charged it to 100% again. The same fault reoccured. I then compared my nexus 5 to my 4 and 7. When charging the 4 and 7 through my radio, it showed charging via AC on the battery properties on the handset. The 5 in the same situation showed charging via USB. I then tried to charge my 5 using an emergency charger I had lying about and to my surprise, that charged fine showing as AC charging. I then took the USB cable from the emergency charger and plugged it into my radio's charged port. It showed AC again and charged as normal. I then used the original USB cable I always plug into the radio into the outlet of emergency charger too and that showed AC on the phone too.
I don't really have a conclusion to why this it charges fine with one power source and cable and not another as there seems to be no logic to this. I think the nexus 5 is really picky how it likes to be charged. I can't see why this phone is soo finiky charging when all my other devices charge fine regardless where and how. I am now worried that if I'm at work or out and about and need an emergency top up my handset won't charge. I really hope this is a software fix
Hello so i have been using OPO since a month now and suddenly it won't charge so i tried to charge it with a different chargers and they were working..
but here is the thing i don't understand..
the original charger with original cable which came with it is not charging my phone but the same charger is working with other phones so it means the charger is fine.. more over when i plug my samsung usb cable in my OPO charger then it starts to work again but i'm not receiving 2A charge from that cable..
please suggest me something guys..
btw i'm running latest cm update XNPH33R
anyone ? the charger seems to be working with every mobile.. please somebody suggest me something..
It's possible the charger is damaged and only capable of producing a certain percentage of it's original Amperage.
So if you plug in a phone that, say, takes only 1Amp it may work fine but it will break down when your OPO tries to actually use up 100% of the charging capacity.
Smartphones detect unstable/unsafe power sources and can reduce charging current or refuse to charge at all, which may be happening here. I had a defective charger too - in idle it was still providing 5.01V but it did not manage to handle any significant load.
Open a support ticket with OnePlus and have them replace it. In the mean time, I can recommend Anker's wall chargers but any charger will do.
I have had my Verizon Galaxy S4 since February of this year. I've been using the stock Samsung AC charger that came with it. It's always charged the phone pretty fast if I wasn't using the phone. It would charge about 15% in 20 minutes. Now it's only charging about 3 or 4% in 20 or 30 minutes. Now I didn't do anything different to my phone. I've been on this same ROM for over a month and this is just now a problem in the last week. My wife has the exact phone and charger that I have and when I use her charger it charges just as rapidly as mine used to, so I know it's not the usb port on my phone itself. I haven't dropped or damaged my charger at all in any way either.
Does anyone have any ideas about why this is happening?
If it charges fast on you wife's charger you've pretty much answered your own question.
Try using her cable with your charger, if it still charges slow then get a new charger.

Ok, I'll give that a shot. Thanks.
I had the same problem too ! Did a full battery reset and everything is going good now !
You have to charge it for 12 hours and drain your battery until your phone don't boot. Charge it and here you are !
Yeah these devices act funky every blue moon. My wifes didn't even recognize ANY oem charger for a week. Only detected others as USB devices causing slow charge rate. Removing dust, component cleaner, fresh install, all did no good. Eventually it just resolved the issue itself. All chargers work normally again.
change the usb cables
I also had the same problem before. I'd been using the original charger and usb cable and noticed that charging takes a lot of time than normal.
I found that it's on the usb cable. I accidentally found it when I used gsam battery monitor. It displays the current being received by your phone when charging. Using the original usb cable, it only gets around 600mah. I tried another usb cable (from a previous Samsung device) and now my phone gets 1,900mah (closed to the charger output of 2,000 mah).
Every since I changed the usb cable, my charging is fast now. Hope this helps.
I would try a new cable and Charger that is rated 2.1 amps or better if will be charged real quick

I noticed that using the Pure Nexus rom my charging time became significantly faster. In fact I can get a full charge from nearly dead in just over an hour. This is using the charger and cable that came with the phone.

How do you make full battery reset?
The charging rate is based on the output rating of the charger, which is determined by the resistance value between the Data+ and Data- USB pins. If you use a cheap cable with high(er) internal cabling resistance, that will throw off the detected charger output capacity rating, and knock you down to a lower charging current and longer charging time.
Also, one time, even with the original charger and original cable, I couldn't charge at anything more than the default USB 500mA. I ended up having to power off the phone, and power it on again, which fixed the charging current and speed problem.
Install this app & check if it is getting charged at max current; anything less than 1200 mA when screen on & 1900 mA when screen off, you need to change your cable or charger

I read somewhere that if you activate airplane mode the battery is charging faster.
I know Adaptive Fast Charging doesn't kick in unless the battery is very low - less than 20%, I believe. And, yes, I have the 15 watt charger(s) that supports AFC/QC2.0
Does anyone know of a way, or if it's even possible, to trigger the phone to kick in fast charging at low, but not painfully low, rates?
Hi
My S6 always charges at the quickest speed possible because when I connect my Samsung Charger the phone tells me I have connected the fast charger and I know it is charging quickly because if I use another charger the time for a full charge will increase significantly. Are you using the official fast charger?
Yes, I've always experimented with the high-power charger that came with the phone.
Fast charging will speed up or slow down automatically based on how charged the battery is. The emptier the battery, the faster it will charge. This charge will slow down gradually as the battery fills up. I don't think there's a way to facilitate this, and even if there was, it probably would not be recommended to do as it might damage the battery.
Fast Charging is a concept, that comes into play when you are connected to the USB port of your PC. Typically when connected in MTP mode (or PTP FWIW), Phone charges slowly in order to prevent damage to the usb port. Certain kernels can permit fast charge provided your laptop has fastcharge usb.
For Wall charging, Rapidcharge technology does exist but requires original samsung charger. With any other OEM charger, it'd be a matter of luck since it'd need to have that 11th pin on the microusb.
Everything else that @Japultra is correct.
I'm almost too embarrassed to admit this, but it was the micro USB cord that wasn't letting my phone avail itself of the high-power adapters. I came across a thicker USB cable and, thinking/hoping that thicker cable also translated to higher gauge conducts, decided to try it out with my phone that was at 65%. Yup. The phone now indicated "fast charging".
I appreciate your forbearance, folks!

So the original cable that came with the s6 wasn't working for you?
Hey guys, something I've noticed recently with my X3 Pro is that whenever I have it connected to a charger that uses some kind of fast charging protocol, it'll charge for five seconds, disconnect and then repeat. It happens with all sorts of chargers and cables, all of which have worked fine in the past. Using standard USB-A to Type-C connections work fine but even the USB-A fast charge port on my power hub gives it this issue.
I've been looking online for solutions, tried air blasting the charging port, there doesn't seem to be any other kind of battery irregularities like a swollen shape or an increase in battery drain, now I'm worried that it might be the Type-C port itself. I'm running the latest version of Lineage OS but it doesn't seem like the OS has anything to do with it either as the charging problem persists when charging while powered down.
What do you guys think? I'm hoping it's not a hardware issue but I want a second opinion.
I have The same Problem.
Only The original charger works with fast charging. Haaven't found The issue on The Internet before your Post. Ist there a solution? Maybe this is Kernel related?
Poco x3 NFC nowhere near fast charging
So, here's my issue. Original cable N brick, charges almost nothing. Putting the brick N cable into my old not fast charging supported phone gives 1200 mA. Unbelievable N here almost nothing. Running MIUI 12.5.4

I tried 65w charger, phone didnt support fast charging, only original works well
