Hi folks,
I have this odd issue with my Find 7s that seems to occur on certain ROMs.
I've run Omni, Nameless, ASOP, CM11, unofficial CM 12 and now the official; nightlies and it has occurred on some including CM12 now.
The phone will every 2 or 3 seconds discharge and recharge when plugged into the VOOC charger. I reported it to Oppo when it first happened and they sent another charger which seemed to work.
I thought that was that but then I realised both chargers were working fine.
A new ROM and the problem was back, then gone, then back and so on.
I use a whopping Love Mei case so there is no damage to the phone. While it's hard to examine, the micro USB port looks undamaged. I figure if it were, the problem would occur across ROMs and while using non VOOC trickle charge units.
I'll post any additional info as needed, but fair warning I am a bit of an idiot.
[Update: the charging problems occur when VOOC charging only. After the phone hits 80% or whatever it stops disconnecting.]
-- And while I'm here, is there a way to adjust the horrid storage ratio for CM12? I know it's not yet unified but geeeesss it suuucks! ---
Anyone? It still does it!
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.

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%

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.

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?
A little backstory first...Just like soooo many others my P6P is kind of crap since the "stable" A13 release. Beta and 12 were great and I had ZERO issues. Since upgrading to the amazing stable version, I’ve noticed my phone does not charge consistently while plugged in for android auto. It will charge for a few minutes, stop, and maybe start charging. I've found this issue on two different vehicles and sever cables (A to C, C to C, and the cable that came with the phone). Has anyone else had this problem? Any fixes? Or will this probably be fixed in an upcoming update?
I haven't noticed this issue. I do use Android Auto everytime I drive, but admittedly, my wife and I work remote at home and only tend to go out for food or other shopping.
Damn, oh well. Thanks for the reply. I haven't gotten a lot of the bugs that others have had. I guess this is my special big
A lot of android auto USB ports only provide a very low power output, probably not enough to charge the phone
I have noticed this but with just google maps, plugged in for hours and the battery has been discharging, issue occurs with multiple adapters for me, 65W one, wireless device certified for pixel 4XL, another 30W adapter. What I believe is happeneing in these scenarios is that the phone is getting very hot therefore the charging is throttled to the point that it doesn't charge enough, why I say this is when I remove the phone it feels hot to the touch.
I thinking it has something to do with the power delivery too. The weird thing is, this did not happen on A12 or 13 beta.
no issue charging in my VW. charges rapidly too via usb c.
I do have an issue where occasionally the phone takes 2 or 3 attempts to plug in for it to start android auto but thats been on various android versions though and i think its more the software in the car.
Check your battery adaptive preferences in settings. Turn them off and see if that helps
Hi everyone!
I'm investigating charging issue with A70 Europe version.
Bought used one with stock ROM, then unlocked and installed crDroid based on android 10.
Additional modules: Magisk, EdXposed, FakeGapps, MicroG
Apparently after ~1-2 years it started charging really slowly.
(Used orignal adapter and cable) So I thought it was broken and changed it.
It didn't help
I recently moved to LineageOS 20 straight from crDroid.
Issue persisted and I was annoyed with it so much that I checked charging parameters with Wattz app from f-droid.
With different cables and adapters I'm able to achieve Max 0.4 A with 2A charger.
Where in most cases it is 0.1A with 1.5A charger
I got it to the cell phone repair where I said I suspect that it may be the port as it stopped transferring any data.
They fixed port but charging issue persisted.
In that moment I decided to try fix it myself.
I opened the phone and changed battery as it was also discharging fast.
It didn't help.
I started reading some similar threads here.
So what is left:
- change the tape that connects main board with port (it is said to be a common issue on samsung device)
- reflash stock rom and see what happens there.
what do you think?
do you need any pictures of the phone or other details?
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE:
Device is A705FN
Did both.
Changed ribbon cable that connects main board with port and flashed stock ROM based on android 11.
Disabled adaptive charging in settings.
But it didn't help.
This could mean that it is some other hardware issue but I'm run out of ideas...
Other observation:
Measuring Watts:
(Stock charger) When I power on the phone, drain is ~10W till it enters offline charging mode or system is on, then it stays exactly 0.5W ! I'm not sure if it is charging. When system is powered it says no.
To compare with my msm8998 based Sony Xperia ~10W till it enters offline charging mode, then it stays at something like 4.6W with 1.5A charger.
Both tested while charging above 90%
I'm totally pissed of. I put money to repair it but nothing seems to work.
I'm sure about one thing - I'll never ever buy any other samsung smartphone.
This sounds like a charging board issue from the very beginning. Charging problems do happen on this phone sometimes but usually just reseating the ribbon cable is enough to make it work again. Perhaps some chip has failed, though this happens much more rarely.
