My HTC 10 International lost it's fast charging capability after Nougat update. After couple of months, it degrades charging. Now it's taking me two days to fully charge. Most of the times, it will not charge. I got this last July 2016. Almost a year now but the battery can't be faulty. Port doesn't also smell burned and pins are still intact. I tried different usb-c cable and 2.5A adaptor, but it's still not charging properly.
I rooted the device thinking that the custom ROM can fix the issue. After installing VIPER rom and LEEdroid, fast charging is still inactive. It started charging for 3 hrs. Then each month since I updated it to Nougat, it's taking me 6 hrs to 9 hrs to charge per day. So I installed Cleanslate kernel since it can boost charge while connected to a computer. And it did. No problem for 2 months charging from computer, it only takes 2-3hrs to charge and I'm fine with it. Then after a while, it began not charging at all. I will have to switch to Extreme Power saving and try different ports or different usb-c just to TRICK the charging. Sometimes it charge, sometimes it doesn't..
Right now, I'm trying all possible solution to downgrade it to Marshmallow since that is root cause behind all the troubles I have with this phone. But still NO LUCK. I'm S-ON and I wish I could downgrade it without paying $25 for sunshine. I tried RUU EXE file, also tried TWRP backup.. I also thought the Marshmallow firmware option from Leedroid will change the firmware but still no go. Last thing I haven't tried is loading 2PS6IMG.zip on download mode. But my hopes are low..
Do I still have any other options on fixing this phone?

I had a similar issue. Downgrade won't help you. I sent my phone to service 3 times because of that. First time they changed the motherboard - it worked fine for about 2 weeks, and back to issues. Second time at service they changed the battery - again, worked fine for a week, and same ol' story. Third time they gave me a brand new phone, and the issue is gone. I asked the service guy what caused the issue, and he said he has no idea

Short version- Can I re-root my Evo without using the USB adapter, and if not; I assume It would be unwise to try with an unreliable USB connection?
To explain my situation a little further, I rooted with unrevoked a couple weeks ago, tried a few ROMs and I was VERY happy about the increased performance and longer battery life. At some point someone told me about "calibrating" my battery, by what seemed like overcharging it, but it seemed legit so I tried.
A couple of days later my brain wasn't at 100%, my phone died and I fell asleep with it in my pocket. I tried multiple times to turn it on and watch it die really quick. The next day it wouldn't charge. Took it to a battery store where they said it completely lost power and needed some to charge. They jump started it for free and it worked again.
During all this I was waiting for two cheap batteries and a wall charger in the mail. When I put one of the new batteries in my phone to charge over night, it didn't(yes, I tested other cables). So I realized my phone's USB port was damaged, especially after the light started to flicker on occasion. I un-rooted, flashed a stock ROM and took it in. I don't have $100 for the deductible so I decided to wait till I have more problems since I can charge and swap files still. But can I root it again?
If your still s off and able to push files to the device you could load a custom recovery via hboot and then flash roms from there.
I'm S-ON
If your fully unrooted (S-on) and have 2.2 or lower stock, your methods would still be the same as before(abd push,unrevoked, etc.). If you have 2.3 stock (most recent) you cannot root it again until a new exploit is found.
What would happen if I lost USB connection while running unrevoked? I think I could get it to stay, but could it brick my phone? I think it would just give me an error and I could try until it works but I really don't know how the process works.
EDIT: Problem solved, I just ran unrevoked and my connection didn't die at all
Okay I've had my galaxy S3 for some years now. Randomly I started to have a problem with my battery. It started dying faster and faster. After that a new problem popped up where it would only charge up to a certain point, around 35-50% and then stop. Now i did try many things and i feel like theres is nothing left to try. Im not sure if this is a software or hardware issue as i couldnt figure out the problem. I have tried changer the wall adapter, usb cable, and batteries (all official samsung ones). I even got an external battery charger and charged the batteries there and put them back in my phone. What i noticed is even a full charge on the external battery charger would show as a 35-50% same as when it charges and stops charging through usb. The magic number i noticed is 37% for all batteries, chargers, cables. Slowly this started changing and now it no longer charges properly at all. when plugged into the charger the battery drains completely to 0% on charger and if left overnight will jump to 100%. this 100% doesnt last long however and the cycle continues. Sometimes the phone will die and i plug it to charge and it will be at the 35-50% spot. The only thing i wasnt able to do was test with another s3 as everyone i know is S4 and higher. Any help would be appreciated as upgrading is not an option right now financially.

Need more information. ROM/TouchWiz version, have you tried wiping? clean install? etc.
When the problem first started i was on a custom rom but this was a while back so i dont remember the actual name of the rom. I was running that rom for months brfore the problem started so i doubt it was a rom issue. After dealing with the battery issue for a while i started to get annoyed. So i unrooted and reflashed stock firmware hoping it would help but it didnt. I ran stock for a while. After that i decided to try flashing a custom rom again to see if it would help. Currently im running TMS3KK 3.1 TW 4.4.2 and the problem is still there. I have tried factory resets, wiping everything and even battery calibration apps but nothing seems to help. My battery indicator can go from 100% to 12% just by unplugging the charger. Sometimes my phone would die and den turn back on with like 40% or so. Really can tfigure this out i feel like it might be a hardware issue. Also is *#0228# command useful?

I have the same problem. Try using rubbing alcohol and toothbrush to clean out the USB port. Also take a look at this link to remove corrosion from the port.

I dont think its a port issue as an external battery charger doesnt seem to fix the problem either. Problem seems to be with the phone not reading the right percentage.
I used Kies 3 to reload the firmware to KOT49H.T999VVLUFNH2. Battery is more stable now.
Yea i tried flashing back to stock as well but unfortunately didnt help me.

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...

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
I have a stock Verizon LG G4 that I took the MM update on last Friday. Before the update the LG G4 was my favorite phone of all time but with the update the phone is not the same.
1. The phone is getting hot when used and I do not think I am getting even close to the same battery life as before. It would never get this hot before.
2. When using the phone and charging it with the supplied USB cable to my computer or to the wall it negatively charges. In other words it shows it is charging but the battery percent still goes down.
3. I use wireless charging at night. This always worked well. The next morning it would be at 100%. Now I am lucky if it charges 10% more then when I put it down the whole night.
All the above problems did not exist until I took the MM update. One positive is I have a quick charger in my car. That seems to work fine. I used it yesterday with maps running with the screen on the entire time and it charged the phone. So it seems anything that is not quick charge is a problem.
What I have done:
I did a factory reset and did not install any apps to just try it. It did not make any difference.
With Verizon on the phone I did a phone repair which did a factory reset and then reinstalled the firmware from scratch. This also did not make a difference.
My daughter has the same phone but did not take the update yet. I used her cable and battery, knowing that they are working perfect on her phone. This did not make a difference. I also used my battery and cable on her phone it they worked perfect.
Is anyone else having these issues since the update? Verizon is offering to switch the phone out. I just cannot imagine what could have gone wrong though. The phone was working perfect. No changes or issues with the hardware. It was just the software that was upgraded. I am afraid if they just send me another phone it is going to have the same problems. But I am not seeing to many people complain so maybe it is just this phone.
Please let me know if you are having any battery issues since the upgrade? If you are then I do not want to change out my phone. If not, I will let Verizon send me an exchange.
Thank you for your input...
I wanted to report back on the problems I had after upgrading to MM.
The first full week I kept trying to charge the way I always have, wirelessly. Since this kept not working I then charged the entire night on the USB cable with the screen off.
After I did this for a few nights I noticed the phone started working the way it always did. I then tried to charge wireless again and it worked!
So the phone is now working as expected.
Better if you contact Verizon for a replacement before the warranty ends...

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.
