Hi all,
i've got a weird problem with my wireless charger from Samsung.
Every night i put my Galaxy S6 on the wireless charger and in the morning the battery capacity is around 80%. In the history of the battery drain, I can see that it was probably up to 100% charged. My suspicion is that if the battery is 100% charged, the charger turns itself off and the battery somehow self-discharge faster than normal because he is on the (disabled) charger. Is this possible?
I've replaced the charger but same problem again, after that i've contacted Samsung and all they can come up with is that the software should be checked by them. Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks
Since the update to MM I'm having a bad issue with battery charging. The SW becomes very hot and stops to charge at about 70%.
If on pc usb charge, it stops and discharge...
If with external charger, stops.
What the hell is happening?
Anyone with that problem?
Previously coming from S8 & Note 8, while playing power demanding games plugged in it would hold and charges just fine but now it's barely gaining any. It says "fastcharge" but doesn't feel like it at all... anyone having similar issue?
I been on 4% past 30mins or so while playing Lineage 2 Revolution. Sometimes, I would lose 1~2%!
I have the same issue. I am charging S9 via cable with quick charge 3.0 adapter in my car. Some times it charging fast but sometimes it discharging even in idle. I found that it can be related with phone heatup. In sunny weather phone is warm (battery temperature about 40C-42C) and phone not charging. If I put phone in shade then it start charging in 5 minutes
Whenever I charge my a50, the charger heats up quickly. Could this be because of the fast charging and is it normal? And no, I don't use my phone while its charging.
HI can anyone tell me if there is any way to resolve this. I think is has started since doing the upgrade to Android 10 earlier this week.
I normally put my phone onto the wireless charger before going to bed and I have noticed recently that when I grab it in the morning the battery percentage is sitting around the 90% mark. I initially thought the charger was not able to charge to 100% but on further examination I see that it indeed charged to 100% after I placed it on the charger and then the charging stopped and the phone ran on battery until I removed it in the morning.
I confirmed this this morning by replacing it on the charger and watching it charge (like watching paint dry ). The charger light was blue while charging, when the phone hit 100% the charger light turned to green but after about 30s it completely switched off and so too did the indication on the lock screen that a charger is connected. Removing and reseating the phone started charging again.
It definitely looks to be software related as I did not have this problem last week. I just wanted to ask if anyone here has noticed this and knows of any workaround?
For the record I am running fast wireless charging with the samsung wireless charger that came with my wifes S8, that charger works perfectly with my older Note8. I have also tried switching to normal wireless charging speed with no success.

Unplug the charger from its power source and plug it in again, causing it to 'reboot'. Let us know the results. Note, there is an option to set the wireless charging to NOT be fast during certain hours of the day. I set mine so it charges slowly while I am sleeping - to put less stress on the battery. Your charger may be a little old as well if you got it with a note 8 or S8 - ?

IMO this is a good feature to stop the wireless charger cooking your battery.
Maybe turn down your AOD brightness or something, to use 10% within a couple of hours of being idle is pretty high. Maybe turning off fast wireless charging would extend the charge time so it finishes nearer to when you wake up could help too.
Thanks for the feedback however it does sound like workarounds for an issue that should not be present (apart from rebooting the charger which I will try when I get home).
For me wireless charging should act just like wired charging in that when it reaches 100% the phone should essentially run off the charger now and not use battery at all. Every other phone with wireless charging that I have had worked that way, this is just plain stupid.
Willhemmens its not a couple hours, looking at the battery graph if I go to bed at 10pm and put the phone on the charger it pretty much hits 100% around 11:30 and then is at 90% at 7am, so it is 10% over 7 hours which is ok in my books, but reality is that during this time the phone has another source of power that it can and should use. It did before I applied the Android 10 update.
I have had this issue every now and again, and I found that rebooting it takes care of the issue.
An update. This morning I tried my wife's wireless charger and when the phone reaches 100% it continues to show the charge icon. Put my wife's note 8 into the wireless charger and it exhibited my problem.
So it looks like this is a problem with the wireless charger and not the phone.
Thanks for the answers guys I am of to try buy a new wireless charger
edit - New charger solved the problem.
