IMO nowadays rapid charging is so important that its basically a make or break feature. My Nexus 5x currently does not recognize what voltage is coming out of the cord and will not charge rapidly. It might be worth suffering through using the stock Google image or reverting back to CM14 if this is not a priority for Lineage's devs. I haven't seen any mention of it in recent change logs.
Is this coming soon or should I flash something else?
There are some device's which support rapid charging in lineageos but don't know about your device
Perhaps it is the same for you: When I charge my Samsung S5 the message on the lock screen says ”Charging slowly" while in fact it is charging rapidly. The error message is misleading.

How do you find out which devices do a rapid charge. I have the HTC One M8, so I assume that this does noy?
Well, hard to tell, but a full charge in two hours is pretty darn fast if you ask me. ?

I've notice while flashing carbon, dirty unicorns, and pa among other aosp ROMs
That charging seemed to be slow for me. So I wanted to investigate..
I grabbed an apk called galaxy charger light https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free
And when I refreshed it while plugged in to the wall charger, it said the max was 400. That's like USB currents. So I used devil kernel, and inside the latest devil tools, there is a charging control tab. I changed the options like I have here in this screenshot.
Then when testing my current with that galaxy charging app, it now says my current is 2000. And my phone is charging super fast now like it used to. ...And I thought my cable was bad lol.
so if you're charging is slow, try that app out and test it and see what your current is... if its 1800 or 2000 then that's good, if its 400 or similar, then you're charging very slow.
Also, I'm charging at 1500 through USB when it used to be only 475. Kind of like 'fast charge'
****But be careful. I've only tested this out for a couple days. So far no problems but change the charging control in devil tools at your own risk.****
please close this mods
and only change the USB control if needed. (I've heard something about "fast charge" messes up USB ports on pcs when charging that high but idk if that's true or not. I've only read that once and I forgot my sources)
You want the 'max' to be around 2000.
Before this devil kernel tweak, I had a max of 500 within the galaxy charging app. This was on stock carbon and dirty unicorns. Now my max is 2000 and its definitely noticeable. now my phone even charges while playing a graphic intensive game.
after doing some reading, this may be just too dangerous and damaging to the battery that its not worth it. please check the link by saboture and this shouldnt really be needed. i guess tw doesnt charge at 2000 constantly either so it cant be good. was def only trying to help but i dont want to steer ppl in the wrong direction.

Hope this helps somebody that has slow charging problems. I know I did and it has helped so much.
Thank you, -cue
EDIT: this may be an isolated incident for me. anyway, you can check your max current with the aforementioned app and see if its happening to you before any changes need to be made.

Good warning folks. Like I said, ive only tested this for a couple days so I'm glad your warnings are close to the op. I will edit it to stress the voltage warnings. Thanks! I haven't noticed heat that's why I've kept it. Will def watch it now. But I thought 2000 was equivalent to 2 amps which I thought our phone charged at originally. Obviously I don't have that much knowledge of electrical.. Better I learned from folks like you guys before I burned my face off lol
... unless the warning only pertains to USB charging. That I was weary of.. But nevertheless... Does make sense that it would wear the battery out though if it was too much that the phone can handle.
Was I the only one experiencing400? That is so low!! my phone was dying while texting and charging.. not right . never did that pre 4.3

Define "originally"
For who knows what reason, the Note 2 and other Sammy device ship with a 2000mAh 5V rated charger brick...but the TWiz software gimps the charger by throttling it way back to only 500mAh. Which is just downright stupid moronic. People on Note3 are amazed by how fast it charges, because Sammy has removed the software limiter in the stock ROM, and now the 2A charger actually charges closer to something resembling the charger rating.
As far as wearing out your battery, all rechargeable batteries wear out after a certain number of charge/discharge cycles. So long as heat doesn't become to high it isn't a worry. I've been using 1200mAh+ saoftware charging since kernels came out that allowed it. Still on my original battery.
Now regarding slow charging, another culprit that can do this is a crapped out USB cable. Try a different known good USB cable.

well i thought it charged at 1800-2000 originally on TW Stock. but testing now, its fluctuates around 400 to 700 on stock tw. but 1686 is the 'max' listed on that app. my 4.3 aosp roms were just staying at 400 and 400 was max prior to me using this tweak through the kernel. but is was very noticeable that i was charging slower than normal. will try a new cable today. thanks for your input.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I haven't got an s6 to compare but I have a note4.
The g4 charges reasonably fast with a fast charger as long as you keep the screen off.
Turn on the screen and it takes forever to charge. I think it disables quick charging with the screen on. The note 4 and presumably the s6 charge quickly even with the screen on. So it's a disappointment if you plan to use the phone while charging. Even with the screen off the samsungs charge faster.
Even without quick charger it charges slow with screen on fyi.
I expect the slow Quick charging with the screen on is likely also related to temperature, as with the stock charger.
I got very slow charging with the LG charger, with the screen on (280mA). But when I held the phone in front of an air conditioner, to cool it down, it increased to charging at 1500mA, with the screen still on.
I don't think the screen itself is the issue, directly. More the extra heat from having the screen on, which raises the temperature enough that the phone reduces the charge current.
Hi XDA Forum!
I've got a Sony Xperia Z5 Premium that drains faster (or at the same rate) than it charges playing games such as Pokémon GO but also oddly using applications such as Snapchat. Obviously this is inconvenient as I'd like to be able to charge my phone via a portable charger and use it at the same time but the phones battery percentage either stays the same or goes down slowly while plugged in (whether its a wall charger or not). When checking the charging current with AIDA64 and Ampere, I get jumping readings but it usually stays around a charge rate of 300mA with the occasional jump up. Any reason for this ? Currently using build 32.2.A.0. 224 (Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow).
Realised that the Jump from 17% to 18% took way too long and looked at the readings for the charging current. Please see attached while I'm still sane Help on this is really needed!
Edit 1: Bear in mind the charger I'm using for this is rated for 1500mA and when using USB ports rated for 2400mA, the same issues occurs and with different cables (definitely seems like a phone issue rather than equipment used-issue)
Edit 2: Also bear in mind that my brightness is on lowest, WiFi is turned off, GPS is on Battery Saving and all other apps are closed via the recent apps drawer.
Send help pls!
Another Imagine depicting how bad this issue actually is. I can't use my phone at all while it is charging or else it just doesn't charge at all. The image shows that from ~10:00AM until now (4:00PM) it has gone up by roughly 4%.

Stop being so impatient, we all have lives here... Next, stop using your fone while it is charging and let us know how that goes. Next use a different wall outlet and charger and cable and see whether things improve. There are quite a number of factors at play here. Lastly, factory reset if all else fails...

When charging without using the phone, it charges slowly but surely. It is when the device is in use that it drains faster than it is able to charge (which is inconvenient seeing as I need to use it while Charging for a Pokemon GO event). I have tried multiple cables and multiple outlets and have just performed a factory reset yesterday (via Sony's Xperia Companion) which I'm not so sure has fixed the issue as I'm still getting the low current readings. If the issue persists I'll just get a Samsung Galaxy S7 next month since I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have this issue and I'll most likely have to send my current Sony Xperia Z5 Premium to Sony for repairs.
One more thing, the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium's battery is rated at 3.8V and 3430mAh but looking in AIDA64 the voltage shows as 4.106V. Normally as a somewhat tech savvy person, I would be extremely worried quite a bit if voltages were this off. Any help?

Battery-gate has everyone paranoid.
This sounds like BS. When Samsung investigated 90+ cases of exploding batteries, it found that 26 reported cases were fraudulent scams - this was in the news today.
It sounds like the same ****.

This.
I would believe the below from the article before I'd believe Samsung's stupid enough to make the same or similar mistake twice. I was worried about QC on the replacements considering how fast they're racing down the production line. Mine's perfect BTW. Any articles about Samsung because of what's happened is guaranteed click-bait. A Note 2 overheating on a plane made front page news with whatever (still to be determined) happened to it being tied back to the Note7 issue.

Mine seems too also but I thought it was all in my head. It seems smoother and snappier for want of better words. My old phone would occasionally get choppy and stutter as if it was struggling with something in the background. The new one doesn't. It's on AT&T and the new phone's shipping s/w was the same as the old phone's updated s/w. Curious.
My s7 edge and note 7 (both exploding and non-exploding versions) have always had times where they charge slower than they discharge. (Waze + Pandora when it is super sunny, so 100% brightness. Even on QC2.0.)
The new note7 (and/or new firmware) pops up a warning to say as much. The S7E had an overheat warning that came up occasionally in similar conditions (even air-conditioned, DC summer is warm..)
I think the only difference is the notification that its happening, which is nicer than discovering after a drive that you have been losing power the whole time.
I'm experiencing the very slow charging issue. In fact when I was watching a movie while fast charging it was losing charge!?

I have experimented the same thing, actually ending with less batt while using and charging with other devices, so, this happening with the note 7 indicates nothing wrong with the batt
Customers in South Korea who received a replacement device have reportedly complained the phone's battery is overheating and drains too quickly after use, according to a report by YTN, a TV network in the country.

Fast charging does not seem to want to work on my new one, with stock charger brick and cable. I am hoping I don't have to go BACK to TMo and get another new phone.
my replacement seems identical to my original, same charge speed, same discharge speed.
as for the people saying about watching movies and such and the battery ending up lower, that is normal, if you are running the screen and charging not only does the battery get warm, so does the CPU so the phone will start to throttle the charging. I've had phones in the past that refused to charge once the CPU got above a certain temperature. this is just people being paranoid or looking for a way to get money as mentioned above with the fake tales of exploding batteries.

Odd. I use my Note7 (pre and post replacement) with Android Auto via USB. Android Auto really puts a load on the phone. Even off the wimpy output from my car's USB port the phone never loses charge and frequently gains it. My previous Note5 was the opposite. It would stay even most of the time but would lose charge on occasion. The only difference between the two scenarios is I got a Orange-E 12" Type C USB cable to use with my Note7. So my experience is different than yours.
I suspect the screen is the big drain. 100% brightness is vicious. Isn't the screen off for android auto?
Things it's usually doing when it drains (starting from 70% or so) :
Overheating (direct sun, no ac pointed at dash or top/doors off)
BT music streaming + wear
GPS
100% brightness
QC2 (aukey car charger)
Even without overheating that combo usually only gains me about 5% over 30 minutes.
Unrelated, but without getting too far off topic is AA worth the jump? (~900USD if I want my steering wheel controls and stuff)

Yep. When in use and the display is on its black with the Android Auto logo. But the phone's still using all its radios and if navigating pushing data to an 8" display so the phone's definitely under load. I have a Samsung Fast Charge car adapter but the problem with Android Auto is it doesn't let you connect by BT so the car's USB power output is all you get. But as a comparison under the exact same conditions the Note7 definitely either drains less or gets more power than my previous Note5 and both phones are/were configured identically.

A black screen with amoled means the only pixels lighting up are the ones in use. The screen itself is a massive drain so the more pixels are lit up, the more the juice is drained from the battery. That's why AOD doesn't kill the battery fast.

Ive used a USB multimeter on both my old and new note7.
No matter what, old or new note7, the charging rate gets cut exactly in half when charging with the screen on. This happens when using a quickcharger or a normal 2.4a 5v charger.
So if you want full speed charging the screen needs to be OFF.

On my replacement Note 7 I noticed that if you are doing allot with the phone, it still gets hot, the battery does take a little longer to charge with both the Samsung charger that came with the phone and an Anker IQ 2.0 / 3.0 charger. The phone does seem a little snappier/faster though.
I just want a removable battery to end all this bull * and I will pick the battery I want to power my phone.

I beg to differ, because they have that wireless backpac battery that is completely sealed from water for the Note 7. The purpose of the permanently installed battery is for the NSA to track people since the battery cannot be removed from the phone.
is there any way to charge ze551ml fast till 100%??? it only charge fast till 70% then very slow charging. Any kernel changes or any tweak that can make it possible, please tell me.
That way you get Galaxy Bomb 7.
If it fast charged up to 100% it would significantly shorten your battery's life.
You can't. This is intentionally made to prevent your battery from overcharged.
It's not the kernel problem, it's the hardware

You CAN, but you need to build your kernel yourself as you need to modify the battery driver.
As this is not recommended (like AT ALL), you won't be seeing someone offering such a kernel

There's no way for ZE551ML in terms of software, well incase there is, you'll just end up torturing your phone's battery as if it only supports 60℅ for 40mins, notice that your phone gets hotter and getting warmer over time after it hits the threshold, it is required to prevent your phone's battery from taking too much heat for a long period of time.
Perhaps just buy a new phone like Galaxy S7, LG G5, etc. that supports Quick Charge 3.0 atleast they have upgraded its components in terms of hardware to support faster charging.

Batteries need a balanced charge for longevity.
You could fast charge from zero to 100% but expect to kill a battery once a month.

That's no necessary, just decrease a little time.

Maybe adding a temperature check while charging could make it possible without explosions
