[Q] After update to 1.40.401.8 very slow charging - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After the latest update my M9 charges very slow. It takes 6 hours or even more than that, even with the Rapid Charger 2.0
If I reboot my device before before I charge it, then it charges normally, in under 2 hours.
Any solutions?
I am trying to fing out where the problem is, and I suspect GSAM Battery Monitor Pro and maybe an app called Screen Adjuster that might somehow interfere.
I have an unbranded device and it runs the official firmware.
Is anybody else having the same issue?

Have you tried wiping the cache and recalibrating the battery by holding both volume buttons and power button at the same time for over a minute?

No, I haven't. Are there any other issues I should expect if I recalibrate the battery?

Have the same issue .. S-OFF, ARHD 8.1, Firmware 1.40.401.8
No solution yet :/

So it must be the new firmware. This is really bad. I have cleared the cache but I don't really see the point of recalibration. If I restart my device before charging, it always charges after the reboot normally...

I disabled GSAM yesterday and the screen adjuster app, but the problem remains. I wonder, is there anybody out there running the new firmware without this issue?

Same issue here. Stock non-rooted ROM, stock firmware, S-Off, unlocked BL.
Had also the same issue with 1.40.401.5, thought it would be fixed in the official update (1.40.401.8). It appears it's not... Bad news when an update supposed to solve issues brings new ones...

With 1.40,my charging is way quicker with a quick charge 2.0 adapter. GSam battery monitor reports higher ampere and a battery change ~80%/h now (from empty to 85% as usual). Before this, battery change stalled quickly but now it's stable.

Did you factory reset your device after the update?

Same problem here.
No factory reset after the update. Should I? Or is there another way?

I did a factory reset when I first noticed problem with slow charging. At first it seemed to work and it charged normal speed but now its back to slow.

My M9 will only charge when i turn it off, plug it in the ac. If its on, even though the indicator says its charging, it doesnt, help.

The update was supposed to improve (quick) charging... Instead it made it worse ;(
I'm curious if there is anyone who does not have this problem...

I charge my phone from 17 to 100% in 2hours with .8 firmware.

With the original charger?
Mine charges a bit faster with the quick charger, but only after a full reboot. And only once, after disconnecting the charger it reverts back to verrry slow charging when connected again.

I've the same issue. All stock, latest firmware.
Unless i reboot the device, it takes 8 hours to charge. If i reboot it before plug in, it takes about 2 hours.
Something is wrong were...

Same problem here but it is intermittent. I plugged my phone in earlier and it charged 10% in 1.5h on a 2A charger. So annoying!!!!

This is a big issue for me since I cannot rely on my M9 to get me through the day without having a charger with me. I am going to stop using my M9 till the problem gets solved somehow. Sorry HTC but this is a big issue for me and despite the fact that I love HTC products, I cannot ignore this issue. Back to my iPhone...

I agree on the Factory Reset, I do it every time I take a OTA update. It's jus my practices as it solved issues in the past and I kinda stick to it...

no its a real bug, regardless of the charger, when it appears only a reboot solves it
anyway the 5.1 / 2.x update is close but yea bug like that will cause serious hurt

Quick discharge from 100% to 90% when connected to AC

My Desire suffers from the following problem: whenever it's connected to AC, it will charge until 100% but then after some arbitrary time period it will discharge quickly to 90% after which it will slowly charge again until it reaches 100%. This can happen two or three times each night. This means that if you take your Desire out at the wrong moment, the battery charge will be at 90% instead of 100% which is EXTREMELY annoying.
I'm thinking that there must be other Desires with this problem, since my previous Desire (which was replaced because of WiFi-problems) exhibited the exact same behaviour. Does anyone else notice this? Or is anyone else willing to check (by means of using Juiceplotter overnight) if his/her Desire suffers from this as well? I just can't believe that the two Desires that I own/have owned are the only ones suffering from this ...
I already contacted HTC Customer Support and they told me that they would pass on this information to another department.
It's common... even I have it.
Whether it's a security or a bug (or both!) is completly unknown at this point I believe.

This has been discussed many times, and the concensus is that it is normal. When battery fully charged, it will stop until it falls below 90% at which point it will charge again.

My HTC Hero did not behave that way, and HTC did not explain to me that it was intended behaviour either.
Also, that would mean that the battery plot is incorrect since it shows rapid discharges from 100% to 90%, such as in the following image:
Furthermore, it seems that this problem (or feature ...?) disappears on at least some devices after rooting.
It seems to happen to me more often than not when I take the phone off the charger each morning. It's annoying but I need the phone on, so charging it to full while turned off each night's not an option.
This is usually done to exercise the battery.
I worked with developing a phone, and we did the same thing, in order for the battery capacity not to degrade because it keeps trickle charging at 100%.
So you shouldn't worry about this.
same happens to me, however i charge it over night and when i get up in the morning uplug and it charges for another 30mins (whilst i get ready for work) and its back up to 100%/99% which i can live with

Hm, my HTC Hero did not have this 'great feature'. I'd rather buy a new battery when this one has degraded too far, instead of having a not fully charged almost 50% of the times that I unplug it.
It would be more acceptable on a phone that would be able to go for at least 48 hours without intermediate charges but clearly, the Desire (just like most smartphones) can't do that.
first, apologise for reviving an old thread.
but it seems that charing by usb (via pc) does not have this problem.
also, charging by ac causes the battery to discharge at a faster rate...
Battery falls to 90% as soon as I unplug the charger
Same problem here, plug the charger before I sleep, at the morning the battery widget indicates 100% and the phone light is green, then I unplug the charger and suddently (really suddently, I mean quite instantly) the charge indicator falls to 89-91%.
Considering the poor duration of a fully charged battery I'd prefer not to lose the 10% of the charge before start using the device.
I'm quite sure this didn't appen with 1.15 stock ROM, I suppose I'd noticed it in case...
I can't remember if this appened after FOTA update from 1.15 to 1.21
With 3.1 modaco ROM I had this problem and now even with 1.23.351.1 Build rooted and A2SD+.
I tryed different radio ROMs without results..
I contacted HTC customer support, they told me to use an app manager like Taskiller to close unneeded applications that drain battery... lol
Obiouvsly they don't know anything about this problem..
Any ideas? It really hurts me to start every day with 90% of the battery!!
Thanks to all!
Hey, I have the same problem since I updated OTA version 1.21, never happened to me before with 1.15. Now when I wake up, I have fully (100%) charged battery, but after a minute or two it instantly jumps to 92%.
Any solutions?
Same here after the last update.

I've just sent a e-mail to the customer support of HTC explaining the problem, as soon as I have an answer I will post it here.
It should be interesting to do a factory reset and test with a recharge without installing any other stuff. Is there anyone who have a standard ROM (not rooted, original kernel) and want to do a try?
While I was writing they answered... They invited me to go to the nearest collection point to test another battery if available.
I'm starting to think the problem is not hardware related if other of our devices started to suffer the problem after the update..
I'll contact them again and we will see what appens.
Meanwhile if someone want to try what I suggested, it would be really apreciated.
Customer Support official answer.
The official answer: Send the device to us for repair. First try with another battery if you want (an if you can find another one...).
I'm not too happy to send my 3 weeks old device to them for 20 days so maybe I'll try to flash the 1.15 or 1.21 official ROM to see how the battery works. If anyone with the same problem wants to try to downgrade, please do it just to help to understand which is the problem.
I am having exactly same problem, i dont think its a battery issue either :/
Is there anyone who rooted and "desire" (wow, what a joke! ) to try a Froyo ROM to see if the problem persists? I suppose it should be totally different from 1.21 or 1.23...
I feel a bit lazy at the moment , I've just done a good setup and I'd like not to redo it again....
Volunteers?

Mine is not rooted. I didnt have this problem before the update.
I have some apps installed and a few widgets but nothing "advanced" like different launcher, heavy widgets. After the update I did a hard reset and didn't even backup my settings (have contacts and e-mail via Exchange server). The hard reset didn't help at all...

So I understand I'll be elect "the" volunteer
Maybe in the next days I'll try...
I used the phone till it automatically switched off, pulled out the battery for one minute, tryed to charge the phone when totally switched off and it charghed and stayed at 100% so I'm quite sure it's a ROM related problem.
You can see the next charge in the attached image (thanks to JuicePlotter)...

[BUG]&[FIX] Battery stuck at 100%

*** Mod Update ***
Confirmed "FIX" : you just need to reboot the phone
To Reproduce the BUG: it's only happens when you charge it up to 100% with AC plug, and leave it there for long
However if you charge it via computer USB, then it doesn't get stuck at 100%
--- Original Content Below ---
I contacted T-Mobile yesterday in regards to my battery continuing to be stuck at 100% after fully charging. This had been happening for the past 4 days for me. They really didn't have a lot of answers, however, the one thing they suggested is for me to reboot into recovery, in my case, clockwork recovery as I am rooted, and wipe cache. I took it a few steps further and did the following:
- wiped cache in recovery
- wiped delvik-cache
- wiped battery stats
- rebooted and charged phone to 100% at which point I ran battery calibration
Immediately the battery responded and started updating with the correct percentages. I have since charged the battery two additional times with each time the battery responding appropriately.
I am not sure which step fixed it or if it will indeed fix your similar issue. However, I wanted to pass along these steps as it may help someone out there.
HTH
i exchanged mine for that reason and it did it once and hasnt done it again. id sure like to know the reason for it
If you charge with duferent charger then it gets stock on 100%

my wife is on her 2nd phone with this issue. we have a day left before the two week grace period is up. i'll try the fix you suggested today and hopefully it works! i have a bad feeling i'll get some ugly looks from the tmob people if i come in there again!
On my 2nd phone, exchanged do to random shutdowns. Anyway, it happened on this phone as well. I did the steps listed and it hasn't returned.
It's only happened to me once, but a reboot fixed it.
Granted, it shouldn't be happening, but is this really happening frequently enough to be considered a 'problem'? I got my galaxy on launch day and it's only happened that one time, the second day I had it.
Couple of things i think may have resolved it for me, but i still am not sure what exactly made it work.
- Charged the phone to 100%
- Did battery caliberation which deleted battery.stats
Still was stuck at 100%
By afternoon i connected the phone to computer using USB, it beeped that the phone is fully charged, i unplugged it by mistake and plugged it back in and it displayed the correct battery.
- Charged that night with the original charger (Was using a different one before)
Since then it is working fine for me.
I had somewhat the same problem, only on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini. The battery got stuck at 100%, no matter what i did (clearing batterystats.bin, charging with original charger, charging via USB, bumping it...).
The battery also stopped charging at 3,7V instead of charging over 4V.
The last thing that worked for me was taking out the battery for 5 minutes and then reinserting it. 3 days of effortless troubleshooting, and a simple battery pull saved me from sending the phone in to my carrier.
whenever i get a 100% stuck i just boot into CWR and select the option to wipe battery history
then it all goes back to normal
i just shut down the phone via the power button on the right side and turn it back on. works every time. a shame though.. shouldn't have to do this.. i hope samsung/tmobile fixes this.

Yeah I just reboot it every morning after unplugging the phone.
Got a replacement phone and it happened again once. Booted in Clockwork Recovery and followed the steps I posted in the OP and it hasn't happened again.
Happened to me a few times....a reboot fixed it for me....not a big deal for me...i just reboot when it happens...

I also have this problem. I am currently rooted, but using the stock ROM/Kernel. Although I did have this problem before I rooted too. I was wondering if any of the ROMs or Kernels are known to solve this problem. Then we would know for sure that this is a software problem the tmo/sammy can fix.
It's from the charger. Use the charger the phone came with. im using the original galaxy s charger and no problem whrn i charge with other charger overnight it gets stock .

For me the charger I use does not make a difference. In fact, the real symptom here is that the phone is stuck at 100% when it is off the charger. Sometimes when disconnecting the phone from the charger after a "successful" charge, the phone will stay at 100%. If this happens, then even connecting the phone to a charger (perhaps after a couple of hours so you would know that the phone is actually at some percentage less than 100%) will not cause the phone to realize that it is in fact NOT at 100%. What's more, since the phone thinks it is at 100% it will not charge itself. The only cure I have seen is that when I notice that the phone is still at 100% after it has been disconnected from the charger for long enough that I know it should be less than 100% is to reboot the phone. Once I do that then the phone is good to go.
Maybe this can help... I've never had the problem until I charged the phone while it was powered off. Due to the nature of my job, I leave my phone on 24/7 and never had the issue until reading about battery management and doing a charge while powered down. After turning the phone back on, I had this issue until a reboot which fixed it.

If it's anything like the problem we are experiencing, then it means you will have to reboot every time you complete a charge, since it gets stuck at 100%.
This is getting to be really annoying ... having to reboot every morning after a charge. I really wish Samsung would release a patch or something.
Mines only done that once, it got stuck at 100 aftervi unplugged it, reboot fixed it, but it hasnt happened to me since

Battery jumping from 90% to 100% and smoothly going down

Hi to all.
As the thread title states, I'm having this annoyance with my Tab S (SM-700).
If I charge it while on, it while charge to slightly above 90% (might be 91% or 92%) and if I watch again a few seconds after It will say "100% charging".
When using it after unplugging, it will smoothly go down (I mean it doesn't jump back to 80, 60 or wathever).
I havent't experiences any hangs, reboots, crashes, or any other thing that may lead me to think about hardware malfunction.
I did a factory reset (Both via Lollipop UI and Recovery) and it didn't help.
If I let the battery go down a little, turn off the device and charge it while it's off the it will normaly charge to 100% wihtout jumping.
I've already tried discharging completely, then fully charge while it's off but this issue reapear.
The device is not rooted yet.
Anyone experiencing something similar or any suggestion?
Thanks in advance!
PS: Sorry for my english!

I have the same exact issue on my T800! When it charges up to 92%, it jumps to 100% within a few seconds. Now when the device is fully off, it charges fine with no jumps. Yet my device discharges fine in which is an calibration issue when the device is on since charging it when its off has no problems.
I've came to the conclusion of waiting 10-20 minutes to ensure its charged to 100% accuratly. I tried calibrating it and everything and it comes back somehow

I tried something similar wih no results (just let the battery die and fully charge when device off, thern turn it on and charge it till full again). But your suggestion it's quite different.
Do you think I it might be hardware related?
I'm worried cause the device is 3 weeks old and I can't return it (but it's still under Samsung warranty). Not having had any issues related to reboots, freezes or anything make me think it might be a software issue, but I'm just guessing.

I'm glad to hear I'm not alone with this...
Are you running non rooted Stock LP 5.0.2?
When I bought it I upgraded to LP at first boot and didn't have a chance to test it with Kit Kat.
I didn't do the complete first discharge and fully charge for 6 or 10 hours while off as I read it's not necessary for Li-Ion batteries... Now I'm wondering if I should have done that!
You dont need to do an 6 or 10 hours charge, once it`s full, it`s full
I found the information about battery charge level jumps, it` a bit long.

I had the same issue on 4.4.2 after OTA update to 5.0.2 this problem was solved.

After updating to Nougat, Fast Charge works intermittently. Kinda.

Greetings all, I've been a longtime reader of xda, but never a poster. As this is my first post. After upgrading to Nougat I now have issues with fast charging. 98% of the time when I plug in my charger, it will switch between fast charging and charging in one second intervals with vibration. If it does decide to "fast charge", it will charge at regular speed while displaying fast charge. HOWEVER, It fast charges as normal with the phone powered off. I tried new high quality micro usb's and trying different fast charging samsung adapters, and doing a factory data reset. I have tried toggling fast charging in settings too. It seems to be software related. I am assuming there aren't any custom Nougat roms yet, as I cant find them here. Has anyone heard or experienced this, and have any tricks to try? Thanks in advance!
I've been having issues after installing Nougat where occasionally it will go from charging to not charging back and forth about five to ten times intermittently, though I have noticed some issues with fast charging as well.
@grandomegabosses That is exactly the issue I am having. When it does finally settle down it will tell me ridiculous amount of time to complete full charge, like 1.5 hours when I'm already at 20%. If you see the same, try charging with phone off... It should be WAY faster... Thank for your reply.
I had issues a few times where my phone was really hot after being on the charger for an hour or so just to find out that it only charged up 10% or 15% more than it was when I put it on the charger. This happened to me once with it powered off...my phone only charged to 79% when it should have had plenty of time to reach full. Powering off the phone before charging seems to help 99% of the time. Hoping my S6 gets updated again, or they'll forget about us and it'll catch on fire one day. Sad we still can't get updates from directly from Google compiled in a cloud based server @ Samsung with appropriate kernel and have a flashable package of Samsung Apps and interfaces, that could be downloaded from your Samsung account and verified by Knox. We'd be on Android Oreo already if it were setup that way...
Okay, so I did have this issue, but I've easily solved the issue by flashing stock via Odin. Nand erase all, I did an efs clear just because. Also, checked the phone bootloader update. But after that, everything worked perfect.

Phone not charging or stopping charging

As the titles states, my phone doens't want to charge the first time I plug it to the original charger. It can stay for hours without charging 1%. I have to reboot and then it'll charge fine. I called google support and they told me it will be fixed in the next updates. Anyone else is having those problems? I just return it if it's just me.
I've had weirdness with charging for sure. Seemingly mostly with the charger that came with it. Mine will say "5 minutes until charged," but I'll be at like 86%. If I unplug and let it settle for a second, it will go back to 84% or whatever, then seems fine when I plug it back in again.
I've been using this Magqi charging dock and magnetic pad and it's been hit or miss. Sometimes just fine, other times won't charge at all. Wife is having the same problem. We both have a Pixel 2 XL.

ok it happened to me before (you clicked something by mistake )
just go to settings -system- developer options -select usb configuration- charging
if this doesn't work
maybe it is something else
I didn't turn on nothing by mistake, it's just not charging. I did a factory reset and seems to work fine until now ( charged just one time ). I'll update the thread if it happens again. I think something was messed up during the November update. I hope it's just a software bug because it's really annoying to reboot the phone Everytime
It happened again after factory reset. It's quite annoying
I've had mine 4 days and it happened to me the first time this morning.
To fix it I turned the phone off, started charging whilst off and then turned back on. Luckily it was back to charging correctly.
I today I now have the slow charging issue (on the supplied charger)
I ran the battery down fully last night and put it on charge at 2 am.
When I left for work at 6:30 am the battery had only charged to 67%, that's 4.5 hours.
Given all the other posts concerning this subject it does not seem uncommon
Yeah just got my phone last night and its happening for me too. Will charge for a minute or two then stops. Going to try the charge while off deal mentioned above and see what happens.
It's quite annoying for me... I hope Google is going to fix this soon. Seems like a software bug
Here is what happens with me.
I have the stock charger with a 6.5' Cable Creations C to C cable.
Any charges that happen with my battery lower than 30%, I have to constantly watch it to make sure it's charging.
If not, I have to unplug and replug. This happens several times between 0-30%
After 30, it seems to pick up fine..
Edit: Forgot to mention, when below 30%, it stops charging because, I take the power off it and all the sudden, it loses 2-3%
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL
Not sure I've seen a situation where the supplied charger didn't charge the phone at all like some have mentioned, but it definitely seems a lot slower than the charging time for the Pixel XL. It's offset in a big way by the much improved battery life I guess, but it certainly doesn't feel like quick charge, at least by 2017 standards.
However when I use the charger that came with my Pixel C, It charges noticeably quicker. I know the Pixel C never sold in huge numbers, and I haven't run any comparison tests here, but has anyone else that owns one noticed better performance with its charger compared to the one that was bundled with their Pixel 2 XL?

Tried Nexus 5x stock charger and it didnt do anything. Not sure whats wrong with our chargers, my Pixel 2 XL always goes to 98%max maybe 99%. Another weird thing that happend. I decided to fully discharge my phone until it shut off for the first cycle(first day I got it to calibrate battery). When I plugged the OEM charger in it showed the symbol that it doesnt have enough power to turn on(needs to charge to 5% or whatever it is), waited 1 hr, 2 hrs same thing. Unplugged, plugged back in, hard reset, bootloader and nothing. Same symbol. Only way to get it back charging was to use a cheap USB A to C cable I got from walmart, plug that into my Nexus 6 charger base and it finally started charging...??? WTF
Same issue
Looks like this is an issue with the November security patch.
Same thing has happened to me on my Pixel 2 XL and i have three different official Type C wall chargers from google (6p, XL (1st gen) and they will not work, however it will work with the quick charge connector in my car (Type A to Type C).
Reviewing the internet other people have the same issue and all seem post November update. I did a factory reset etc to troubleshoot with no luck.
Only thing i have yet to attempt is enroll for the android beta program and force update to 8.1 to see if it resolves the issue.
i live in Dubai and i don't have official support from google nor am i able to contact them, if some one could kindly post an update if they have tried contacting google and got a confirmation that its a S/W issue.
Bump.
Sooo, I woke up last night and saw a message on my phone that said something like, your device is corrupt, etc. Now my phone will not charge... The phone seems fine otherwise, everything seems to work, no more errors or anything, but, two stock pixel 2 chargers and neither charge the phone. However, if I plug it into a computer, it charges. Anyone have any idea of what is going on? I've rebooted, cleared cache from apps (not from twrp though), nothing seems to help.
About my phone: April update, unlocked, rooted stock. The only things I'm running are substratum with the swift dark theme, pixel launcher mods for Virus icon pack, viper audio mod, adaway, greenify, things like that. Nothing major with the exception of the theme. I even disabled/uninstalled the theme and rebooted. The problem is still there. Unless I get this fixed ASAP, I guess I'm calling Google for a replacement...
Please help!

Almost sounds like a hardware/port issue. About the only 2 things I could suggest is...1. Fastboot the factory image again with the -w flag removed. 2. Factory reset, which, as you know, bites because you have to set everything up again.

Ugh, I thought I might need to try one of those. I'll see what fastbooting the image does. Thanks!
Your description exactly matches my issue with a week old Pixel 2. It won't charge using OEM charger below 30% battery. I have to reset the phone, sometimes reboot works but not all the time. Even safe mode won't work done times. It's frustrating.

Here is what happens with me.
I have the stock charger with a 6.5' Cable Creations C to C cable.
Any charges that happen with my battery lower than 30%, I have to constantly watch it to make sure it's charging.
If not, I have to unplug and replug. This happens several times between 0-30%
After 30, it seems to pick up fine..
Edit: Forgot to mention, when below 30%, it stops charging because, I take the power off it and all the sudden, it loses 2-3%

I'm having charging issues that started when I installed Android P. At times when the phone is plugged in either to wall charger or car charger it indicates it's charging but actually isn't. Only solution I found was to reboot. I should note this only an Android P issue for me, Oreo didn't exhibit this problem. Battery percentage doesn't matter, it could be at 25% or 95% so I'm thinking my issue is just a P beta bug.
Anyone got a solution to this issue?
