I wanted to share this in case anyone ever experiences the same problem. I had my Note 4 since it was released in October and didn't have any issues until roughly a week ago. All of a sudden, the phone would not fast charge. Whenever connected to the fast charging adapter, it would detect it and charge, but it would not give the fast charge notification and would charge extremely slowly (8 hours to get a full charge from near empty). In addition, my PCs would no longer be able to access it and the phone would not give the MTP option menu when connected. I tried multiple cables, outlets, fast chargers, and batteries in addition to toggling the fast charge setting, wiping the cache, and performing a factory reset - but nothing helped. I finally called verizon and they sent me a new note 4 and everything was working again.....
Three days passed and the same exact issue occurred again on the replacement phone. This makes me believe that the Samsung charger I have has somehow deteriorated and is now breaking the usb connectivity on the phone. I contacted samsung and am getting a replacement for the charger and will have to get ANOTHER replacement phone from verizon (after they finish processing my first replacement).
So if anyone has a similar issue, I would suggest getting a new charger in addition to the phone replacement so you don't have to go through the entire process again. I could be wrong that the charger caused this, but I can't think of anything else besides the recent lollipop upgrade - but everything was working for several days on lollipop for both phones.
If anyone has ideas on how to fix this, please let me know. I can't return the second phone until the first one is processed so no fast charging or PC connection until then. Thanks
Having exactly the same issues. Let me know if you work it out.

Same Issues and I have three fast chargers so it is not the charger it is the phone or the 5.0 update.
Mine was not really even charging unless I turned the phone off. I called Verizon and they are sending me a replacement phone overnight. It would not connect to the computer either. I hope this is not a result of fast charging, if so they are gonna get a lot of phone calls
I also have another fast charger which wasn't working... I was thinking that my main charger was breaking the phones USB connectivity and fast charging, but if others are having the same problem then I am wondering if it is something related to the lollipop update. I am replacing the main charger and should have another replacement note 4 come Friday. If it happens again, then I think it points to the lollipop update since both phones had this issues days after lollipop was installed.
I'll let you guys know the outcome
Had the same issue. Used a different wire. Solved the problem. Any Micro USB that can transfer data, can use fast charge. If it's a "power only" cable, or if the data pins/wires are messed up, no fast charge.

Well the problem was that all the cables were working and then stopped. When I got the replacement phone they worked and then a few days later the same thing happened again. So something was causing the connection to break completely. I am hoping that the cause was the charger which I am replacing.
Word of advice: if it stops charging normally In ANY way. THROW AWAY THE CHARGER. I made the same mistake and my Note 4 literally lit on fire melting the lower 1/2 inch of my phone and completely melting the charger. It was so hot by the time I was able to yank the cord out both the phone and charger were melted and destroyed and I ended up with three fingers with minor burns. I am lucky it did not happen when I was sleeping with my infant nearby. I now charge my phone only in the day and on a granite counter in case of fire again.
It stopped fast charging. Then I used the charger again and got a message saying "Transferring power to high powered device" then wham 2" flames
Verizon kept claiming it couldnt happen and thought I used a aftermarket charger until I brought the phone and charger to a corporate store and they prompytly replaced both the phone and charger under factory warranty.
I have three samsung original fast chargers and none of them worked plus the fact that the phone could not be connected to any computer I have makes me think it was the phone. I got the new phone today so I guess time will tell. I just can't see three chargers and cables going bad all at the same time. I also did not take the 5.0 update on the new phone.
my replacement phone stopped fast charging and computer will not recognize it now. I used a different cable that was plugged into the fast charge module from Samsung. I guess that is what caused it. They are sending another phone but for C sake if a cable is the reason this happens surely there should be a fix without replacing the phone time after time.
I finally received the new phone from Verizon and I replaced all the cables I was using to make sure this doesn't happen again. Hopefully the charger was the culprit and the problem is over and done with. Hope no one else encounters this as it really was a pain to deal with.
I got my third phone Monday and so far so good. I had a car charger from Verizon plugged into an extender that had 4 plugs in it. When I unplugged my GPS from it I noticed it was very hot. The Verizon Charger was also hot even though nothing was plugged into it. This may have been what caused my issue. It could have overheated. I replaced it with a different brand and tested to make sure it stayed cool when anything was plugged in and have used it all week without issues. The only other thing could have been the USB cable I used the evening before the second phone stopped fast charging so I do not use it either. So if you use a car charger extender check to see if it gets hot when anything is plugged in. BUT, it is scary knowing something like this can kill the USB on this phone.
I have an external Hard-drive that would constantly disconnect and reconnect with the slightest movement of the cord connected to the computer. It even caused my H/D to get corrupted twice requiring re-formatting. But all I had to do to fix it was to squeeze the big connector on the cord a little and tighten it up. Just a thought.
It's been a week since I received my third phone and everything is working perfectly. I can only assume the charger was breaking it and I'm glad the issue is behind me.
So for anyone experiencing this, I suggest contacting Samsung to replace the charger before going to your cell provider to replace the phone
I'm having the same exact problem. My 2nd replacement phone is now doing the same thing as the first one. I have too many scenarios now though and I'm confused as to which it is. I have two Adaptive chargers.. Batteries, phone, or chargers...
As soon as I replaced the charger, I didn't have this issue again. I suggest sending your chargers back to Samsung (or whatever other brand you have) because one of them is breaking the phones

I would place my bet on a bad cable. With the higher voltages that fast charge uses going through the danger of arching and sparking is increased especially if there's a poor connection would fry or weld melt metal inside the connector. This could damage the USB port in the phone and cause the phone's USB port to have a bad connection. This bad USB port in the phone could fry the other cables as well leaving you wondering why everything went bad all at once
My phone will fast charge on my two vehicle chargers (at 1.5 amps and 2.1 amps), but refuses to change any faster than 500 mA on two separate fast charger bricks. The same bricks work fine for fast charging other phones, so it's my phone, not the charging hardware. I'm using the same cable(s) for all instances, which leads me to believe that something is wrong with how the phone interprets the "smart charging" signal on the bricks, or that the phone is sending the wrong charging signal.
I can still connect to a computer just fine, so my issue may be different.
Does anyone else have the issue with bricks but not with chargers without "smart charging" capabilities?
I've had this problem on stock 5.1.1, Jasmine rom 6.0.1, and now CM13. I full wiped everything when reinstalling, so either it's hardware, or an issue propigated through many roms. I've tried a few different kernels too, just to see if that was the problem.
I'm changing the battery tomorrow to check that possibility. Maybe I'll bend the contact a slight bit and see what happens (phone catches on fire)...
Hi guys
I have the same problem as you ,so what I have to do to solve this issue without replace the phone,
I have rooted 5.1.1 stock rom, If i flash full stock rom 5.1.1 does this help or what?

Turns out one out of the three new cables I bought didn't work, and my OEM cable didn't work for fast charging. Swapping for a good cable fixed the issue.
Got down to around 15% and then plugged in. Noticed level continued to drop. Opened battery page and see this:
Plugged in, Can't charge now.
Did a restart and same thing. If I flip the USB connector 180degrees, it charges. Swapped ends with the wall part of charger. Same thing....only charges with one side of usbb cable pointed up.
What up?

Sounds like a bad port, or cable. If another charger or cable doesn't work, RMA that puppy. Of course, Google support will tell you to do a factory reset first. So be ready ?

On 30 minute hold now.
Flipping the end on the wall doesn't matter. Flipping the cable around doesn't matter. Whichever end is plugged into the phone only works on one side. Weird....I thought they were the same.
No spare USB C cables. May be able to test with an A to C in a few minutes...

Mine was taking 8 hours to charge. Wouldn't charge if on, just couldn't keep up. Rma'd it. Told the guy I'd already tried the usual stuff. He said ok and authorized a new one. Took like 3 minutes.

But did you have a "can't charge right now" message showing up? I've never seen that.
Troubleshooting per Google...
Tried full off instead of restart
Tried safe mode
Same behavior.
I have tested with factory A to C cable and iPad brick.

Send it back bruh! :good:
.. previous post truncated. Copy paste always does that in xda app?
I have tested with factory A to C cable and iPad brick. Seems to work fine either way I flip the cable. But I do notice the above msg for a half second when first plugging in, then switches to charging.
With my stock charger, phone does the same with one orientation (brief msg and then charging)....but NOT fast charging.
With the other C cable orientation, it cycles several times between not connected at all and then stays on msg above.
All for now.
Would like to test with a different USB C cables....but not available now.
Is it normal when plugging in, to momentarily flash that can't charging msg? Never noticed it before, but wasn't looking
I was wrong about charging rapidly. On the lock screen, using the orientation that works, it does show charging rapidly.
BUT Ampere app (which measures charging current) only registers about 1mA.
Thanks

1) Yes you're right. It does momentarily flash "can't charge right now" for me. Literally a split second flash. Wouldn't see it unless you were looking for it.
2) You really can't trust apps for measuring charging current. It's especially inaccurate when the screen is off which you need to do to check it. If anything, it would close to accurate if you had your screen off for 5-10 minutes then checked it quickly before it throttles the charging down. Only way for an accurate measurement is a is a power meter like this:
Satechi USB-C Power Meter Tester Multimeter for New Macbook, Macbook Pro, Test Speed of Chargers, Cables, External Battery Capacity

True, charging current with Ampere is less than accurate with screen on. Accubattery however will calculate charging with screen off. Would be interesting to see how that compares to the USB meter.
Was able to test another brick/C to C cable combination and it worked fine both ways. My cable worked in 3rd party brick. Using my brick and either cable, it will only charge in one direction.
So I guess my brick is bricked.... will ask G for replacement.
Well the sent a new brick. By the time I got it, things seemed to be working ok for a while.
But last night my phone was charging next to my bed. Middle of the night I noticed it was on. I grabbed it and unplugged the USB C. The cable connector was extremely hot. Didn't think much of it.
Now, near end of day, I try to charge again. Won't charge. Turned ohone off and tried to charge. Plug gets way hot, but no charging indication.
Back to Google support.

@akenis Did you ever sort this out?
I'm having the *EXACT* behavior, but on a OP6, the same "plugged in, can't charge right now" message.
If I reboot, I get one charge (still with the brief flash message "...can't charge") and then it charges, until I unplug it. Once unplugged it won't charge again, until rebooted.
Same charge-source/cables/Qi receiver that my OP5T had, and my wife now does, zero issues on it (the Qi pad is my main charge source, typical is about 500-700ma, do-able, for me). Re-tested the 5T on a couple of the cable/charger combos, absolutely no issues, it charges every time.
If I use their Dash charger (which I rarely do, because my Qi receiver is stuck on the back, under a case), it gets around this, but it's not a great solution for me; I only have one of them, and we have Qi chargers "everywhere", it seems ;-]
I had a 6P prior, my mea culpa for posting on a Pixel thread, with OP repro instance. I do think these are both s/w related, and probably related to some kernel issue, that's persisting in Oreo builds. I bet if I were really motivated, I could find this in several other brand devices, in various other forums...

I think it was hardware. On my 3rd 2XL. 1st one ended up smoking at us port. The replacement wouldn't route audio through us port.
Hello
I own three pixel stands and three Pixel 3s. All of my phones and stands are only able to charge slowly while docked on the stand using the latest Pixel Stand update (12/12). If I uninstall the latest Pixel Stand app update, they are able to charge rapidly. Unfortunately the app constantly tries to update and each time it does my charging returns to slow. This is extremely frustrating and disappointing considering the cost of the stands.
I've been seeing this issue dating as far back as November and I've seen hundreds of posts about it. Is there any word from Google on a fix? It this possibly hardware related?
same here
Same with mine, shows charging slowly since the
first time I put my 3 xl on it. And sometimes shows charging rapidly,i don't know what indicates this to charging rapidly or slowly .but when it says charging slowly(on the pixel stand) it does take forever to charge the device. I hope it's only a bug though.
not only on the pixel stand, i notice that charging with cabel plug-in still have the different speeds, sometimes the charging time are extremely slow,it took 10 min to change 1%. and sometimes it charges so fast - like what it suppose to be. but it shows charging rapidly all the time with cabel pluged-in. really weird here , I am thinking should I return the device and pixel stand. Came to 3 xl from a 2 xl, the only improvement is the build quality and screen ,but nothing else. Some parts are even worse, don't know what are they doing...
Phone temperature? I've seen "charging slowly" a few times on my Pixel Stand a few times, but the phone does get quite warm when charging rapidly.

Possibly the old version just says it charges rapidly, but really it does slowly - check how long it takes.. I had similar problems, also noted that it happens more likely after I charged through cable and then put my phone at stand. But I've found the solution - reboot the phone. It's weird - almost every problem of Pixel 3 can be fixed that way (I mean, for example, complete silence of rings, notifications or alarms after phone was connected to car bluetooth system). I hope it is fixed with next Jan 5 update. At least Google bug tracker claims the sound disappearing was fixed and will be delivered with that update. Crossing fingers...
Hey, so i just received the android 10 update. I was already running the android 10 beta for some time now. After the update, my wall charger (Tronsmart, type C with PD) stopped working. I was able to rapid charge my pixel with the same charger earlier, but now it simply stopped charging. I used 3 different type C to type C cables with that power brick, but pixel doesnt get charged whatsoever. I tried using some cables that i had lying around, which are not really the top of the line kind of things but still usually get the job done. These are usb C to A cables that I have used previously with my pixel. However, after the update, the phone shuts down within a couple of minutes, if i connect any of those cables. I searched around and some people have had the same issue after android 9 beta update. Using an old toothbrush, i gently cleaned the charging port, but nothing changed. Right now, i am finally able to charge phone with my PC using an old type C to A cable that shipped with my old HTC 10. However, my computer says usb device not recognized and as you`d expect, its charging pretty slowly. I even tried resetting the phone but the problem
Any ideas as to what might have caused this? Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.
TIA

I also experienced the same problem since i upgraded to android 10. Been roaming google for possible solution, found nothing so far except rolling back to android 9 or wait for an update to fix this bug.
I charges my phone with a usb a to c cable using a power delivery compatible brick (18w, 3A), it is able to fast charge my pixel.

I had to RMA my first phone due to this issue. If you google search pixel 2 xl charging issues you'll find many people who have run into this issue. All of them pretty much end with "RMA phone".
It started out my third-party charger would reboot my phone the moment it was plugged in. My original charger stopped charging the phone soon after.
My computer would only sometimes (1 out of 15 - 20 tries) read my phone so I could unroot it. All of the other times it would pop up as unrecognized.
This is typically due to a hardware issue (loose/damaged port circuitry because of bad quality components or soldering). It gets worst and worst 'til nothing works and phone reboots when you connect the cable... and RMA is the only solution.
IMHO, mainstream usb-c operating amperage is too hard on the ports, specially due to heating. I would prefer to have a not so fast charging technology that would not damage the phones. And yes, this happens on many usb-c phones, not only Pixels.
But hey, maybe you have a different problem related to software
My phone is powering down sometimes,when i plug the charging cable.This happend after android Q update.

Rotating the USB-C cable helps. One orientation (no charging / or slow charging at best) the other orientation rapid charging.
Sadly it appears a number of our phones appear to be having charge port issues as they age...

Not sure if it's because I recently flashed the latest 10 factory image (2 days ago) but my device charges on all the cables, chargers and on the PC as it did prior to flashing the 10 factory image, I even get the charging rapidly notification...
Did this happen immediately to those who are experiencing it? Or did it happen after some time on 10?
Well, glad I came across this thread. I've been having troubles with charging in the last few days also.
TL;DR: Starting this past Sunday, my chargers would report "charging slowly" and not really charge the phone, whether in normal mode, safe mode, or off. Updated to 10 on release day. They all magically started working last night.
Story version: Woke up Sunday and pulled my Pixel 2 XL off the charger to find it at the same percentage battery was when I plugged it in. When I plugged it back in, it reported charging slowly. It's plugged into an Anker USB C to A, and the Anker IQ two port charger. My Wife's PIxel 2 was plugged into the other port, with another of the same cable. It was charging fine. I unplugged hers and plugged mine in, reported charging slowly. I grabbed my Anker battery pack, and used the included USB C to A cable that I've used before, got "charging slowly." I rebooted the phone and got the same results. I powered it down and left it charging, same results. I tried safe mode, same thing. All these chargers/cables/battery packs work perfectly fine on my Wife's Pixel 2.
I was in the car and tried my cable/adapter in there. That one worked. I have a CableMatters 2.0 amp lighter adapter and an Anker braided USB C to A cable. I brought the cable and phone in the house, and tried the cable with my existing Anker 2 port wall charger and it worked. Weird why it would work for my Wife's but not mine, but oh well, at least I could charge the phone. Later on, I took the car cable and connected to the battery pack, charging slowly. I brought it back to the Anker wall charger, charging slowly. Tried my laptop and PC USB 3.0 ports, charging slowly. I brought the car cable and the house cable back to the car, and both cables worked just fine in the car. So, at this point, it doesn't appear to be a cable issue, but something intermittent with my chargers.
I dug up a Monoprice USB A charger I had, that has a 2.0 amp port. Tried that last night, and every cable I have charged normally with it. Just to further test, I then took the cables back to the Anker wall charger, and it worked also. To make it more frustrating, the Anker battery pack also started playing nicely and charging. I feel like it's a software issue with the phone, but I have no viable proof of it. I upgraded to 10 on launch day and have had no issues since. The only other thing I did was install Accubattery after I had an idea to try and monitor charging rates.
I did the October 2019 update and noticed this morning zero charging over night. I use an Anker multi-port brick with 2-ports fast charging. Thanks for the Accubattery idea. It shows 1 Amp charging off the 2.4 amp port. I may have to roll back the October update if I can.
I have noticed over the last few months that the screen uses a huge amount of battery. I can see the percentage drop as I scroll through the news.
Guysss I found the solution ! I had the same problem but this easy fix helped me ! Hope it's gonna work for you.
First you have to drain your battery to 1 or 2 %
Second step, hard reboot your phone (long press lock for 10 s)
As it's without battery it won't reboot but it will show the low battery sign.
Plug in your fast charger and it will show the sign that it's charging, wait a few seconds, boot your phone without unplugging the cable. And that's it. It should work.
I can't believe in so happy it got fixed for me I was suffering for two weeks after the update and no response from Google. The firs time in long time I see 70%>>>
---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 PM ----------
Update : if you don't want to wait for your battery to drain, you can do this instead.
Long press volume down and power for 10 sec.
It will take a screen shot (normal) but wait for the 10 sec.
You will have a menu, choose using the volume up and down to navigate "power off" ( by default it will be power on).
Plug your fast charger and it should start charging

ive tried doing the second option and i never get a menu, it just straight up reboots.
my problem seems to be similar to those stated here before. i cant use my original charger that came with my pixel.
i can use the usb c port on this (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0778JNN4B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) with any of the cables i have. none of the cables will allow me to use the original charge brick anymore. i can use the only usb c -> a cable that i have. (its the standard one that comes with the nintendo switch pro controller) i even tested with the nintendo switch dock cable and it seems to work fine. i am outside of warranty so i cant have google fix it any longer(literally started issues 20 days after my warranty ended...). im gonna try draining it down till it dies and try my original charger again to see if it will do it but i was wondering if anyone else has come up with any other solutions to this problem. im thinking about reflashing it to see if that will do it and if that doesnt maybe go to a custom rom to test that even just wondering if anyone else has tried these options so i can have an idea if its gonna possibly work for me or not
hi man.
So weird you couldn't get that menu, try holding for 20 seconds instead of 10 seconds. It should work keep doing it until the phone goes off completely.
Trust me I did it again and it worked. Every time fast charging stops working I do this trick and it works.

idk, i have tried holding it even past the point of it turning off and still no menu, but i finally got it to die completely and it still didnt seem to be working on the chargers i was having issues with, after going for a ride in my car and using AA oddly enough it seems to be working fine, no idea.
Try holding the UP volume button and power.
Mine just started doing this, I left it plugged into the plane the whole trip flying overseas. (Probably shouldn't have done that)
Hello,
since installing sep 1 security patch I have strange problem with wireless charging. It like recognizes the charging pad, starts charging and says "fast wireless charging" and says i.e. 45 minutes to full. Then a couple of seconds and it changes to "charging" and time changes to 3 hours. and then back to fast charging. And cycles this. And it doesn't charge much
Now I don't know if it's connected with sep 1 security patch but it started happening after that. I didn't drop it or anything. It charges through cable normally. The issue is not with charger, since I have 2 identical charging pads at home and at work, and the phone does the same with both...
Any ideas?
Thanx!
It is. I reported this to Samsung and it's all over Reddit as well that others on the latest update are having the exact same issue.
My other device still fast change on the same chargers and the only difference is that my S20+ was just updated. I don't plug my phone in, so I noticed it immediately as I just have wireless charging in the house for the most part. Thankfully USB C fast and super fast charging still work fine, but that's beside the point. I'm hoping this new update (when it's available) fixes this.

Wow, thanks mate, I was getting depressed because of this, good to hear it is a software thing. I'd hate to have to return it and get another phone took me ages to set it up and migrate everything from my old S8 plus
