Last night, I decided to use my HD2 charger, since it was already in my drawer. Charged it around midnight and woke up around 4 and it only charged 10% So I decided to use the Motorola charger, and when I woke up around 6 it was fully charged in less than 2 hours. So my question is, are we only suppose to be using the charger that came w/ it or is my outlet possessed
The actual cable doesn't matter, but the charging port seems to. My phone doesn't charge as well when hooked up to my HTC Aria's usb charge vs. the one that came with my Atrix or even the old Motorola Z9 charger I have (like this one since it's longer than my USB cable and it reaches my bed so I can do "Sleep as a Droid"
I tried using my Nexus charger last night and the phone didn't like it at all. It started FC'ing all over the place and I had to reboot it. The voltage on both chargers are the same. For a moment I thought I f'd it up but it's been fine all day.
I'm using Blackberry's micro usb chargers with no problem. I bought a few of these for my N1, and they work fine with the Atrix. The N1 charger from Google/HTC does not work like you all have said.

Check the amp output of the charger, a good one will be at 1amp, where most are around 500ma or less.
If you're having charging issues, it's probably because the charger isn't supplying the required 800ma draw. Most USB power adapters still only output 500ma max. Be sure your 3rd party charger can output 800ma or more. For example the Apple USB adapters can output anywhere from 1000ma to 2000ma and they work great charging the Atrix.
Hope this helps!

Yep to both. I tried my N1 charger last night, and the Atrix wasn't having it. Tried my BB charger at work and it charged up quickly. It's weird. On the plus side, a second usb cable is only 6 bucks from at&t ... which is fair.

The Atrix must be a little charge sensitive (maybe it has a rapid charge mode or something). We have at our counter a surge protector that also has two built in USB ports for charging. We've charged our iPhone 4 and my Captivate at the same time for months.
When I plugged in the Atrix, it starting chirping (like switching the charge mode on/off/on/off) and the iP4 _also_ started flipping out (again, like the power was being interrupted).
I wound up plugging into the same surge protector, but used a regular AC outlet and the supplied USB>>AC adapter. Everything ran/charged just fine.
Mine seems to freeze up and force close often whenever I charge it with my blackberry cord. The same cord had been charging my Backflip fine for months.
Need the Amp rating
I don't have an Atrix yet (I will soon).
The Blackberry charger that I have puts out 700mA.
But I have tried to use other micro USB chargers with the BlackBerry (BB) and if the charger does not put out the right amps, the BB keeps flipping into/out of clock mode. If you then plug in a BB charger....works great.
A USB-Port is only supposed to deliver 500mA by norm.
So, to charge the phone it hast to be >=500mA.
That explains why the Atrix charges really slow hooked up to a PC, since the battery is ~1900mA/h
You do the math
I'm using a Samsung wall charger right now with no problems.
Has anyone tried using an apple charger/aftermarket apple chager on their Atrix yet? I have an incase combo charger that can feed 2 amps (necessary for the ipad) and I'm worried it might cook something.

Yeah I use a cheap generic CELLNET wall charger and works perfect no problems

whoa
$39 for a usb combo charger ?
does it give me a bj everytime i plug it in ?
Thanks for all the help everyone. I decided to just stick w/ the Moto one for now. Sure does take freaking forever to charge via usb on your computer. Lots of juice power
I just got this charger from Amazon fro $5.99 with 2 day shipping (if you have Prime)and it is OEM !

I've used my wife's captivate charger, and it seemed to charge just fine, will need to look and see the output.. I may need to try my Iphone charger and see the rating...
The B&N Nook charger works fine too.
i forgot to bring my charger to work today, phone died. then i found a charger in my desk for an old bluetooth headset i no longer have. 5v-550ma......seems to be working but i suppose we shall see
I have been using my HTC Evo charger without a hitch.
Hey guys, just wondering if anyone else had a similar problem..
Everytime I connect a car charger, it charges for a second then disconnects itself, the charger is still plugged in, and the engine is running. The red light on the charger is on too. I'm not saying this is a ROM problem or anything at all, but its the second charger I've had that does this, I don't suppose anybody knows a fix if it happens on other devices too?
Is this an official HTC charger?
I know it sounds silly, but most cheap unbranded car chargers cause all sorts of problems. It's usually that they don't short the two data pins, so that the phone thinks it's plugged into a PC. It will then only charge at half rate (500mA) in line with usb standards.
Also, the charger may not even be able to handle a 500mA output, which would suggest why your phones sees the charger, measures the output, sees it as insufficient, and stops the charging. Is there a sticker on the charger starting current output? They can still be misleading though.
An official HTC car charger (just like the mains wall charger) will have it's data pins sorted out. The phone will detect this, and switch to mains charging mode, and draw the full 1000mA. You may have noticed that your phone will charge twice as fast off a mains wall charger than it will from being plugged into a computers usb port.
Trust me I've thrown out about 3 of the cheap ones! Even charging at 500mA, your phone will still not be getting enough juice to do google maps navigation with GPS.
Hope I've helped.

It's a cheap eBay one, but I've bought from the company in the past...when I had an iPhone And it worked perfectly. The first charger had a label saying it's max was 500mA. That lasted about 20 minutes..Need it so much more recently because of my battery drain problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996938.
I had no idea HTC sold official ones (seems I lack common sense), will give them a go, at least then I'll get a decent warranty if it doesn't work...

If its a USB charger try a different USB lead. When my Desire arrived brand new the lead would only work properly when I bent the lead round the back of the phone otherwise it would start a charge (LED would light up red, phone says charging) but the battery % would never get any higher. Bought a new official HTC lead and problem solved.
So i've had this phone for a few days and took a road trip and camped this weekend. To say the least, I had a good feel of battery usage of this phone for my typical tasks.
During my road trip, my phone started with about 92% when i threw it on the charger and started driving. I noticed it was charging up to 96% and it started to discharge slowly after about an 45 minutes of driving The phone indicated it was being charged. When I purchased this phone I also purchased a 6a car charger (dual port, 3a each), and also some USB-C to USB-A cables rated at 18w. If I disconnected the power for a little bit, and reconnected, it would charge maybe 3-8% before stopping again and I would repeat the cycle to ensure I had enough battery to allow navigation to take me to my destination. Luckily, I made it to my campsite with 82% battery to spare.
Now the strange thing- when I left this morning to come back home, I had 100% on my phone as I charged it with a battery bank fine. I left the phone plugged in to my car charger as I left, and it stayed at 100%. I even let the phone discharge to 94%, and plugged it in and it was able to charge to 100% with the navigation on as well as pandora.
Am I doing something wrong? Am I supposed to be using a USB-C type charger? Maybe I need a better rated cable?
Would love some help. I'm coming from an S7 edge so a lot has changed. thanks!

It's a qualcomm based charger. https://www.amazon.com/AILUN-Charger-Qualcomm-Adapter-Compatible/dp/B01N8PPY1H
Sometimes while driving these things can work loose in the lighter socket, a slight touch fumbling around near it (my dash cam does this), or some bumps in the road.
I suspect on your outbound trip the charger might have been getting intermittent power from being not quite pushed "home", but on the return trip you could have pushed it in harder and it stayed put.

this wasn't the issue as I tried unplugging it and tried various 12v sockets in my car. However I think I did figure out my issue. The new charger i'm using does not use the "PD" protocol that the newest samsung phones use. Also, although the car charger i have is a qualcomm 3.0 protocol, and 36w- it's actually at 18w per usb A socket. The s20 wall charger is rated at 25w- so I'm now looking for a usb car charger that has a dedicated usb c socket with at least 25w of power and supports PD and pps

is "super fast charging" enabled with that charger? I just ordered: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077ZRBPNB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I read somewhere that the newer samsung devices require PPM protocol in order for super fast charging rates to be active (as well as PD)

I've reconsidered using fast chargers after the purchase of the S20, we've started using old 7.5W and 10W AC power adaptors. The 7.5W charger brings the phone up from about 30% to 80% in about 75min and I am fine with that. I have also used the 5W S3 charger but I think I'm happy with using the 7.5W charger.
If I need a fast boost I can always pull out the 25W charger.
I did buy a Belkin 18W PD car charger with the phone thinking "yeah, I need this" but now I will only use it for emergency charging. Tomorrow I'll pull out an old 10W car charger and plug the phone into the 10W socket while I drive around, see what happens.
Well I got into the car at 10:55 with the battery around 26%, plugged it into an old car charger I bought for our S4s (Pleomax, apparently OEM for Samsung) which has 2A & 1A outlets. It's not obvious on the charger which outlet is which but turns out I used the 1A outlet (AccuBattery showed the charging current hovering around 1000 mA).
Anyway, after 1hr of driving to my destination with a 5min break to fill up, the battery reached 66% so the 1A car charger raised the battery by 40% in about 60min, which I think is quite acceptable.
Car connected by BT for phone/SMS, received 1 call only. GPS/NFC etc are usually kept off.
So when I put my phone on my charger it says "fast wireless charging" then after about 4 seconds it just automatically changes to REGULAR charging and the time DOUBLES! I have been using this charger cradle from ANKER for a three years so I thought maybe it's the charger. But no. I used a S9 which also has fast wireless charge. It does not do what the note 20u does at all. I've rebooted mult times and turned off and on fast Wireless charging and still the same thing keeps happening. It should be noted this started happening after an update to N986USQU1ATI5 / N986UOYN1ATI5 / N986USQU1ATI5
Has anyone experienced this!??
I have a similar problem that started after the upgrade, and only on 1 charger (Aukey). It starts as fast charging, then after about 10-20 seconds, stops altogether for less than a second, then starts fast charging again. If the screen is on, the charging sound goes off every 15 seconds or so. It's only the Aukey charger. Strange.
I checked again, and it does also go to standard charging after stopping. Also, I changed power the power supply, and it still does the same thing.
I had the same issues several times.
Wow. I wonder if Samsung did something shady like remove fast Wireless charge or made it so fast Wireless charge only works with their chargers?? This seems VERY suspect that this is happening to other people. Have any of you reported this to Samsung? I'm about to get in touch with their support and see what they say
i have the same issue with baseus 120w charger....charges with super fast charging for couple of minutes and then goes back to normal fast charging.
Same here. Wish someone had a fix
Same here. Pauses charging every 5 to 10 seconds and actually never charges. Only works on the Samsung pad now.
For what it's worth, I have a spigen wireless car charger and it does fast charge.
Like I said before, it's only SOME chargers that won't work. It was definitely after the update, before the update, all my chargers worked. I went on the Samsung Members app, and people there are having the same problem, but no solutions.
s20 wireless charging pauses since the sept update for me, too. rebooting, clearing cache, force reboot all fail to clear this problem. makes ya wonder how much testing is done with the updates samsung rolls out.
Same here after the latest upgraded.
I just received a generic 15w wireless charger stand from Aliexpress and noticed this issue too.
My older S9+ fast charges on it fine, while my new Note 20 Ultra only slow charges (~1200 milliamp vs ~700 milliamp input according to the Ampere app... This is with my Note 20's charger brick and cable.
Seems like Samsung are intentionally trying to lock out third party chargers.
Same here with the I Ottie I tap 2.
Was working before September update, Have tested with Samsung S10 plus and s9. On both, fast charging is working.
Any workaround yet, any one contacted Samsung ?
Quick update, contacted Samsung support. Fat lot of good that did.
Wanted me to take it in to a service centre. I reiterated it wasn't a hardware problem, it was software.
Anyway she stated to send a bug report through to Samsung with the description.
- Settings
- Information about the phone
- Contact us
- Report error
Next, enter a detailed description of the anomaly and attach the system log data. You will need to check the item at the bottom "Send system log data"
I have the same problem with my CHOETECH 15W charger. I guess we need to wait to next update from Samsung

I have all type of fast chargers (from 18w to 65w) at home/office... old/ new/ or third party and mostly they can fast charge on my S20+. I found this "slow down charging" issue occurs when it's on a wore USB-C cable/ or cheap third party cable (especially those 1 to 2 or 1 to 3 cable).
For what it is worth, I have a third party cheap charger (seneo) that used to flop flop between fast and regular wireless charging however, I swapped out the power cord with an older S10 phone cord and a Samsung fast charger power adapter and now I have fast charging.
Hi guys
I recently bought a poco f3 256g 8g ram, it's a great phone but one thing I have noticed is that when you try to fast charge it, it works then stops with the charging icon saying its charging even when you pull the charging cable out. I checked it with accu battery and it show that its not charging with minus amp age going in. You then turn the phone off and the charging icon resets. It charges fine when you don't use a fast charger and use a non fast charge brick. I don't have the original f3 charger but have tried my mate 20 Pro fast charge brick as well as my old s8 plus charger and new cables it only charges on a non fast charger. Any ideas anyone?
make sure the fast charger is 33W
Hi thanks for the reply are these phones really that sensitive to the the wattage, the charger I had is a 40w Huawei fast charger and the other a Samsung 18w both start to charge then stop and you cannot charge it with any charger until you turn the phone off. I have tried to get a official poco 33w charger but they are not easy to find.
i have used my 33W charger and another charger 18W fast charger and everything looks fine. if your phone is still under warranty, go to your nearest mi service center.
Hi I got it secondhand so I can't I'm afraid I'm sort of wondering if its a protocol thing as it charges fine with a non fast charger I might flash it in time and see if its a software issue, I can live without the fast charge but it would be nice to have the capability.

They are ... You need to look at what's written on the charger , not the big W numbers.
Original charger supplies 33W by using 11V and 3Amps.
Written like this on the charger : 11V=3A 33W
Nothing else will work , I for example use 6A cable and it does not charge well - the amps are enough as you can see but the cable most likely can't handle 11V...
Open google , search for authorised xiaomi repair center and buy charging brick/cable from them. Sometimes they too just pick random charger so you'll have to check when you receive it that both the cable is rated at 3A and the brick supplies 33W like written above

Yw. My reply above mainly covers how to get 33W charging , but I have no idea why it's refusing to charge?
Oddly enough I have the same exact issue happen like bi monthly... Pretty rare but usually happens when phone is REALLY hot ( mine is modified to allow higher temp ) + the charging port is fked and I'm using non compatible cable lol.
Is possible that every once in a while it all lines up so that the phone doesn't recognize charging brick due to bad port situation + it being rly hot sends it into some sort of charging lockdown?
Either way mine is very rare.
I suggest you first get the cable/brick those are like 20/30$ + I bet any repair store would ship it to you. Then if it still doesn't work you can start troubleshooting software/port/motherboard see where the issue is...

Hi thanks for the reply I have found a poco charger on ebay and a lead not too sure about the lead but I think its suitable. I'm not sure what's going on with it but I will let you guys know if it works. I did read somewhere that someone had a similar issue and that they disconnected the battery and after that didn't have a problem, I think I will try the charger first.
Hi guys got the charger connected it up works then goes into minus amps and stops charging until you turn it off again. So I'm wondering if its worth flashing it? Really frustrating

Hi guys just a quick update I connected it up the other day and watched the ampage and voltage go into minus again frustrated I just left it and came back 10 minute later and it charged. It turns out with the original charger it goes into minus amps and voltage but if you leave it it charges and ampage goes up with the voltage.if you disconnect the charger while its in minus amps and voltage it says its still on charge and you have to reset or turn the phone off before you can attempt to charge it again. But if just connected with the original charger without disconnecting it while in minus volt and amps it will charge and the volts and ampage starts charging. I have come to the conclusion its a glitch or bug in the charging protocol for the fast charging or software..
