So I got recently my free wireless fast charger and really like it but I have a question.
Is there a way to prevent the phone from getting charged when it's at 100%?
I want the charger to stop charging as soon it reaches a certain threshold.
It does stop charging at 100% otherwise the battery would explode

The L980 is the first phone I've owned that notified me when it was "slow charging" versus regularly charging--regularly, as in simply showing a message saying "charging has begun." I don't have a single complaint about this monster of a battery, but I'm extremely anal with and adamant about not frivolously charging my devices in order to extend the battery's longevity.
My first question is if this behavior is even necessary.... I remember reading a few years ago that lithium-ion battery cells "get weaker" each time they are plugged in to begin a new charge cycle--no matter the current battery level, from 0% to 99% full--and subsequently lose longevity. Is this even true? If so, for this phone, does changing charge state (b/t slow charging and normal charging) have the same effect on the battery as does beginning a new charge cycle?
Just wondering. So far, I've been able to make it 2 days on one full charge!!
I personally don't think it matters which mode it's in. I will say that the phone has a flag that shows you slow charging if the amperage isn't up to what the stick charger puts out. You can technically say that this phone has a" rapid charge" feature that's always activated until it senses a lower amperage.

May I know under what conditions that you will be notified it is "slow charging" versus regularly charging? I have never had that notification either when I charge it with the USB cable or the wireless charger..
I've had it say that occasionally when plugged into the USB port on my computer, or into my car charger.

I've noticed that it also matters how you put - or better - TURN your charger in the wall socket (I tried turning it 180 degrees, thus changing the polarity of the fork and voila, my phone charges fast)
I came from Nexus 5 with Qi chargers, so I'll be comparing my experience to that.
Is anyone noticing the phone STOPS charging at 100% via the powermat and doesn't trickle charge to keep it close to 100%? I charge my phone overnight and I'm waking up to ~70% charge and charging off (no indicators of charging on phone or powermat). My qi mats all kept trickle charging at 100% so I wouldn't lose battery.
Now the ***** part - I swear the first few weeks with powermat, I was waking up to 100% charge and suddenly it's changed.
So what are other people's experience with this? There was a lot of discussion about qi chargers that behaved differently based on brand. Some did trickle charge, others didn't.
The further I go using an att g3, the more I want to sell it and run to t-mobile.
The wireless charging seems more like a gimmick rather than an actual option for recharging the phone. If I leave the screen on (with a screensaver), the charging process from 70 to 100 will take forever (buh bye bed table clock), and if I use wireless charging on a car craddle (I adapted one), it doesn't supply enough power to even maintain the charge while driving with GPS + 50% Brighness + 4G.
Yes, it discharges while recharging. It's ridiculous!
When I had the G2, I remember few kernels that allowed the user to change the charging current in different scenarios, and one of them was wireless charging. I think it is limited to 1A stock, and the USB charges at 1.8A.
Is it a known issue, or is my G3 problematic? I also feel it takes a long time to recharge even on cable. My G2 used to jump easily to 60% within' minutes, from 15%. G3 seems to sip a lot, and recharges too slow.
--
and on a related note, sometimes when I place the phone on the wireless craddle, it says "Charging wirelessly" or "slow charge, center the phone bla bla bla". But most of the time it doesn't say anything at all, and just charges. Should I consider it slow or normal charging?
---------- After a brief test, it seems that it doesn't report if it's charging slowly or normally, horizontally. Even with screen rotation disabled, it just refuses to report. Weird.
How can I see the charging current? Is it even possible (I used to be able to do so on my Galaxy S3)?
You can use CurrentWidget: Battery Monitor from the play store to look at the charging rate.
I seem to be getting 0.7 Amps with my wireless charger which is just about okay, but yeah it will take time to charge if you have screen powered on.

It says 0mA, wirelessly or cable. What the heck?
Hi
can this phone be overcharged ? like when you leave them charging from the night till u wake up in the morning ?
because i just leave this phone charging overnight (9 hours)
I'm not charging from usual charger with adapter (friends says if its 100% it will stop charging)
what terrifies me is that i'm charging from my laptop via usb cable, if it's already 100%, will it also stop charging like on charger with adapter ?
thx

Well then let me be the first to congratulate you @Bry335. Overcharging a device is bad for the battery. In fact research shows that you should stop charging at around 80-90%. The battery will end up swelling which may lead to future problems like the glass on the back cracking ( since the Z1c has a built in Battery ). You may also end up with shorter battery life and higher temperatures
Also If I were you I'd use the charger that came with the phone...unless the charger you use atm is 5V 1500mA which is the ideal charger for the Z1c
Enjoy your Day

Well, read that: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z1-Z1s/overcharging/td-p/475959
I had no problems charging overnight, also, as it's stated, it's OK to do that...
So I've been using the wireless fast charger from Samsung and have noticed that my phone gets much hotter than it does with the wall fast adaptive charger plugged in normally. What's worst is that when the phone reaches 100%, it still stays hot. I'm talking hotter than the phone gets if playing a game full brightness for a while. Anyone else have this going on? Is this normal? And if it isn't, would I benefit from a reset or is this a hardware issue and I need to get the phone replaced?
I think that's normal,whenever I used a wireless charger my phone got really hot. Even at 100% ,if its sitting on the wireless charger it will still try and charge it and keep it at 100%(not overcharge) just as if you left it on the cord charger it keeps it at a 100% if you know what I mean
During charge, it's warm to the touch. But, not at 100%.
Make sure you have the the authentic Samsung wireless charger. There are lots of counterfeit out there, that will continue trying to push charges to the phone even at 100%.
I do have an authentic one, from best buy. So it's the wireless charger at fault, not my phone?
