Very slow charging

Anyone else notice that with the supplied charger charging ins't what it should be. My iPhone 5 charged almost twice as fast as this phone. I find it kind of annoying. I did order one of these chargers hoping that solves the issue.

The supplied charger is charging rapidly no doubt.
I guess not less than 1% per minute - particularly when below 70%..

No its not. Especially when your using the phone and its on 5% plugged in. Takes forever to reach 6%.

I'm having literally no issues with charging from dead to 25% in about 15 minutes. 2 hours to 100% im very happy with the speed of charging and this is using my m8 charger as the m9 one is still sealed in box.

I've been using the GS4 charger, with a high output cable. The Samsung charger is 1.5A where the HTC m8/m9 charger is 1.0A

the supplied charger is definitely giving 1.5 amps to mine. charges up pretty quick. with a quickcharge 2.0 charger it's crazy fast to charge.
One thing to note is it will take a faster charge the lower the battery level is, which means more heat. if you're also gaming with it, you could be bumping against the battery charging cutoff temperature. I only ever saw this happen on my Tegra HOX+. IIRC HTC has the notification LED blink in alternating green and orange/red when this happens. I'm guessing you would have mentioned temperature in the OP if this was the case, but I figured I'd bring it up.

Just spread your arm, pick whether HTC M8 or M9 charger, and read upon it.. 8)
Both M8 and M9 chargers are - 1.5 Ampere.. furthermore both handhelds are charging fast - otherwise if the cable is a problem..

Sorry, meant it was 1.5a for HTC and 2.0a for the Samsung one. Didn't have them on hand to check.

iPhone 5 battery is 1,440 mAh... M9 battery is 2,840 mAh. 50% charge of Iphone battery doesn't equal 50% charge of M9 battery, in terms of charge time.
I believe the rate of charging to decrease while you use it to prevent the phone from overheating. (My M8 does this as well)
My stock charger is fast, and my quick charge 2.0 is crazy fast.

If you are using your phone and charging at the same time, it will take longer to charge....

as someone who had a nexus 6 with turbo charging. this is bad. charging is so slow.

Yeah, this. I got an HTC Rapid Charger 2.0 for it just to be sure since I knew with certainty it's Quick Charge 2.0. In retrospect perhaps not the best move considering I'm essentially incentivising HTC for not including one in the box from the get go, but whatever.

Yup i got the same issue gonna take me 6-11hrs to charge and its very slow charging

I had a similar problem to OP. The second night I had my phone I plugged it in at 11 pm with about 5% battery left and went to bed. At 5:15 the next morning (6 hours later) it was only at 85%. I can't tell if there's still a problem or I just think there is because I'm paranoid about it now. I haven't run my battery down that low since, and looking at the charge current with Ampere seems somewhat inconclusive. I may have to run it down and then keep an eye on it while charging to see what's going on.

Something IS wrong with SOME M9 phones (I think)
I have one of the "bad" ones. Mine takes hours and hours to charge, whether on the cable and plug that came in the box, or on any others that I have around - some I know are 2 Amps. I think there is something seriously wrong with some of these phones, based on what I am reading in this thread, and on my own example. I have had my M9 for just a few days.

I'd like to post a follow up to this thread after having the phone for a couple of weeks now.
I've had several occurrences where my phone didn't fully charge overnight. The worst was a few days ago, I plugged it in at 5% and the next morning (6-8 hours) it was at 1%, it actually lost charge. I noticed before unplugging it so I looked at the history in Battery Widget Reborn and it showed the battery level just slowly dropped from 5% to 1% without any jumps or dips. The battery icon at the top of the screen showed it was charging but it died at that point so I didn't get a chance to open Ampere.
I think it's the charger (and/or the cable) that came with the phone. I've tried several other chargers that have all worked reliably:
- The QuickCharge 2.0 charger that came with my wife's S6 charges my phone really fast.
- I have a Kmashi external battery that also seems to charge it relatively quickly.
- Two older chargers that are several years old (both rated 5 volts at 0.7 amps) charge it from around 30% to full in 3-5 hours.
At first I thought it might have been a wakelock problem, but the battery has been dropping so slowly when the phone is just sitting in my pocket that I'm confident now that it's not wakelocks. I don't know if HTC is likely to send a replacement, but I'm going to stop into the Verizon store that I got the phone from to see if they'll replace it.

My phone is also odd when charging.
Half of the time it takes 6 hours or more to charge. If I look at GSAM battery monitor it shows a charge current of around 350mA. If I then unplug the charger and reconnect after 15 seconds I get over 1300mA charging current, most of the time. (It takes GSAM a while to show an accurate reading). Occasionally it will take a few tries to get it right. Once I get a good reading over 1300mA the phone will charge in 1.5 hours like it should.
Something very buggy about this phone's charging circuit. I get the same behaviour with all chargers and cables, even my battery bank.

Slow Charging Issues

For the past few days, I've noticed very slow charging on my Pixel even if it says "Charging Rapidly". However it would say it will take around 3 hours to fully charge. When fast charging works, usually clocks at 1 hour and 30 minutes.
I really don't know what can be causing the issue. It's the original charger, and cable. Normally removing the cable and putting it again would fix the issue but it's becoming a common thing for it to take 3 hours.
I remember a similar issue on my Nexus 9 and cleaning the cache would completely fix the issue, but the Pixel XL is missing the Wipe Cache option in the recovery.
Any similar experiences?

On the OEM included charger?

Yup.

Could try a factory reset.. probably the only software related solution. I can't remember, but Chainfire may have said that the cache.img was one of the things that got removed in 7.1 so I don't even know if you could wipe it if you wanted to. You could also hit up Google support... maybe they'll send you a new charger to try. Make sure you're using the OEM cable too, at least for now, until you figure it out.

I had this exact issue with mine, factory reset / charging in safe mode didn't work.
Turned out to be a faulty usb cable but Google insisted on replacing the entire package (handset etc) Replacement works fine

Well, thanks for the heads up! What sucks though is that it's type C to type C, I have some Type C to regular USB, I guess I'd have to buy one.

If it makes you feel any better, Google exchange process is amazing.
Raised the return on mine about 4pm and the replacement was on my desk 9am the next morning, they also give you 14 days to send your old one back so you're it without a phone.

I use ampere to see what the charging rate is and I don't feel like the fast charge is that fast.... My 6p charged at a faster rate and my pixel charges at a faster rate using my Choetech smart charger. I'm going to have to drain the battery and see how long it takes to fully charge with the stock charger

When I checked mine it was charging at something like 2600-2800 but i only watched it for a few minutes, might have gone higher

Some phones ie lg v10 do not "fast charge" while screen is on (while youre looking at it) to avoid overheating. Ampere cant show max charging rate. I use a usb sleeve (usb doctor) that displays that info or turn on notification display
EDIT: Supposedly Pixel do not fast charge while in use either.

I think I can confirm this. Last night mine showed 27 minutes to charge from about 50% but after keeping the screen awake for about 30 seconds, it went up to 51 minutes.

I also find my Pixel charges very slow as well even though it says Charging Rapidly (OEM charger, cable). The GSM Arena review said they went from 0% to 46% in 30 minutes, I get more like half of that at most. I used Ampere and it said i was only charging at 710 mA.....

If you charge it from almost empty it charges very quick, but slows down once it gets nearer to full

Yes i started charging my phone when it was 4%, and when i looked at it about 20 minutes later it was only at 16%. I think it took about 3 hours to fully charge. The only modification I've made to the phone is unlock the Verizon bootloader and flash the P software (which was subsequently updated to V). I'm seriously wondering if the charger or cable is defective.

Charging speed

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Moto E4 Plus can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.

Make sure the charger you received has the output at 2A. I've seen some come with 580mA (I don't know why.). It should be 2A, and charge quickly.

this is the specification found from charger
INPUT:100-240V-50/60Hz 0.3A
output :5.2v---2A
please tell me it is correct specfication if not or not

That's correct. I don't know why it's taking so long to charge for you. It should charge a lot faster. I put mine on the charger at 48%, and it was at 93% an about an hour. Maybe it's a defective charger, or even something wrong with the outlet. Does it happen on all outlets you plug it into?

yes i have tried all outlet but same effect on every outlet!
my friend have the same device it does not have any problem at all. so i thought exchanging charger now i have to wait to until the battery is empty.
hope this will work

Fast charging or quick charging can be affected by either the wall charger or the cord itself. Since the specifications on the wall charger look correct I would suggest try another cord.
A lot of the ones you buy at say a gas station, or a grocery store or just poor crappy cords, and only really meant for charging and not even data throughput, just your "basic" charging cords, meaning no fast charge or anything so it can take forever to charge your phone.
I had this issue where had a Samsung fast charge wall charger, that I use on every phone I get, and yes it does work on every phone I have tried it on, so I know it does fast charge.
What I ran up against was the cord being the problem, I went thru like 2-3 different cords before I found one that worked right, and it took me near a month of frustration and trying things before I finally figured out it was the cord, not the wall charger.

I have the same problem too, my moto E4 plus take more than 4 hours to charge (20%--->100%)
I use too the original charger and cord.

What's up fellas? I just got one of these yesterday and it's having some serious charging issues. In my case, it's not the charger, it's the phone. I think the problem is that I just got it and I'm not leaving it alone while charging. Too much setting up going on and stuff like that. Not to mention, I'm a Real Racing 3 junky. When the phone gets hot it slows down the charging to try and stay cool. My 2 amp charger is working fine, but the charge rate the phone is allowing is only around 300-400mAh when it's hot. I was wondering if one of you guys who's phone is charging very fast could try charging it under stress and see if it slows down like mine does. If yours still charges fast while hot, then I'll know that mine is defective and I'll take it back. One quick and easy way to tell is with the Ampere app. I actually made a little review/tutorial for it on YouTube if you'd care to check it out. Anyway, I'd sure appreciate if one of you could let me know if I need to exchange this one. Thanks a lot guys. By the way, I know it's not the charger because it's putting out 1800mAh when I plug it into my S5. Thanks again.

My e4+ took 2 hours with the 10 watt (AC) fast charger that came in the box with it. I'm using a much slower DC USB 2.0 charger in my vehicle and it normally stays status-quo while charging. I can go a solid 4 days between charging, but I normally re-charge the device while I sleep.

I have been using moto e4 plus from last three months and it usually takes 1.5 to 2 hours to charge 100%.
Hope It helps.:good::good:

My moto e4 plus suddenly stops charging at 80% i put it there for half an hour then I change the outlet,then it charged very fast 80-100 in 20 mins..What is the reason behind this?

Question Charging the 6 Pro

Hi,
I'm new on Pixel 6 Pro. With every cable (except Huawei) it says from 50 to 100% 1 hour, with every wireless charger from 50 to 100% 1 hour, with the Google 30W charger from 50 to 100% 1 hour ...
can you please explain why?

It's just an estimate. I wouldn't get your hopes up. If the phone starts to get warm, charging will dramatically slow. I'm not sure why the cable makes a difference. It's really how many watts is the charging brick from my experience.
Is your wireless charger a Pixel stand 2?

No, I used the Huawei wireless stand

I see your concern. Yeah, not a very good estimate huh?

Yes, but why with the original 30W Google charger 2 hours from 0 to 100? And any other too? My 10W charger needs 2 hours too

As a side note if you're charging it at night it will automatically be on "adaptive charging". I disabled it myself and set it "rapid charging" all the time

Were pixel batteries failing to such a degree that they saw something needed to be done, other phones have a means to protect your battery life and those same phone typically offer a toggle to enable or disable.
I think the implementation couldve been better.

Question S22 Base Charging Confusion / Poor Charge Speed

I have had my S22 base for about a week, and while I am still concerned with the life I'm getting (same apps and usage pattern, about 4+ hours of SOT and 15 hours of mixed use) vs the S9, I had decided to keep it until ...
I can't get the thing to super/fast charge. I do not have a Samsung charger (waiting until I get my voucher) but do have a number of 15W and 25W PD-compliant chargers that work on everything from my S9 to my laptop. Unless I turn the phone off, all of those chargers charge S22 at a rate of 10-20% per hour, with Accubattery readings in the 200-1100 maH range, NEVER a value over that. The battery temp and voltage are well in spec. It is currently plugged into my laptop PD compliant charger at a rate of 900 mA with a "time to 100%" of 30h.
Likewise, I bought 2 car chargers that are S21 certified as well as QC3.0 and PD3.0. It has a 30W port. I used the cable that came with either charger (I've tried a ton of cables) and sometimes it gives a "0mA" reading while other times it goes 200mA-800mA at a good voltage. That means while I don't lose charge, I also don't gain. On my 30 min drive home I went from 23% to 24% with dark mode and no apps running.
Finally, to extend the mystery, depending on which aftermarket charger I use the phone itself thinks I'm Fast Charging or Super Fast Charging, reporting that on the lock screen and battery screen. On that screen it says something like 30m to 100% even though the observed charge rate is much lower.
Samsung won't talk to me unless I'm using a Samsung charger and I can't wait until I get the voucher/those are in stock ... I have 5 days to return it and unless you can help me (Obi Wan) I'll be back on that track.

I use my old 25W (original from N10+) charger and it takes about 1 hour to charge from 15-20% to full. I have the DevCheckPro app showing me at the start 17-18W and about 6-7Amps of charge load initially, at the beginning.
