Tnx!
Battery-gate has everyone paranoid.
This sounds like BS. When Samsung investigated 90+ cases of exploding batteries, it found that 26 reported cases were fraudulent scams - this was in the news today.
It sounds like the same ****.

This.
I would believe the below from the article before I'd believe Samsung's stupid enough to make the same or similar mistake twice. I was worried about QC on the replacements considering how fast they're racing down the production line. Mine's perfect BTW. Any articles about Samsung because of what's happened is guaranteed click-bait. A Note 2 overheating on a plane made front page news with whatever (still to be determined) happened to it being tied back to the Note7 issue.
"The issues being reported in South Korea are related to minor errors with the mass production of the new units."
I m not seeing anything near this. in fact my SD820 device runs better than the original did

Mine seems too also but I thought it was all in my head. It seems smoother and snappier for want of better words. My old phone would occasionally get choppy and stutter as if it was struggling with something in the background. The new one doesn't. It's on AT&T and the new phone's shipping s/w was the same as the old phone's updated s/w. Curious.
My s7 edge and note 7 (both exploding and non-exploding versions) have always had times where they charge slower than they discharge. (Waze + Pandora when it is super sunny, so 100% brightness. Even on QC2.0.)
The new note7 (and/or new firmware) pops up a warning to say as much. The S7E had an overheat warning that came up occasionally in similar conditions (even air-conditioned, DC summer is warm..)
I think the only difference is the notification that its happening, which is nicer than discovering after a drive that you have been losing power the whole time.
I'm experiencing the very slow charging issue. In fact when I was watching a movie while fast charging it was losing charge!?

I have experimented the same thing, actually ending with less batt while using and charging with other devices, so, this happening with the note 7 indicates nothing wrong with the batt
Customers in South Korea who received a replacement device have reportedly complained the phone's battery is overheating and drains too quickly after use, according to a report by YTN, a TV network in the country.

Fast charging does not seem to want to work on my new one, with stock charger brick and cable. I am hoping I don't have to go BACK to TMo and get another new phone.
my replacement seems identical to my original, same charge speed, same discharge speed.
as for the people saying about watching movies and such and the battery ending up lower, that is normal, if you are running the screen and charging not only does the battery get warm, so does the CPU so the phone will start to throttle the charging. I've had phones in the past that refused to charge once the CPU got above a certain temperature. this is just people being paranoid or looking for a way to get money as mentioned above with the fake tales of exploding batteries.

Odd. I use my Note7 (pre and post replacement) with Android Auto via USB. Android Auto really puts a load on the phone. Even off the wimpy output from my car's USB port the phone never loses charge and frequently gains it. My previous Note5 was the opposite. It would stay even most of the time but would lose charge on occasion. The only difference between the two scenarios is I got a Orange-E 12" Type C USB cable to use with my Note7. So my experience is different than yours.
I suspect the screen is the big drain. 100% brightness is vicious. Isn't the screen off for android auto?
Things it's usually doing when it drains (starting from 70% or so) :
Overheating (direct sun, no ac pointed at dash or top/doors off)
BT music streaming + wear
GPS
100% brightness
QC2 (aukey car charger)
Even without overheating that combo usually only gains me about 5% over 30 minutes.
Unrelated, but without getting too far off topic is AA worth the jump? (~900USD if I want my steering wheel controls and stuff)

Yep. When in use and the display is on its black with the Android Auto logo. But the phone's still using all its radios and if navigating pushing data to an 8" display so the phone's definitely under load. I have a Samsung Fast Charge car adapter but the problem with Android Auto is it doesn't let you connect by BT so the car's USB power output is all you get. But as a comparison under the exact same conditions the Note7 definitely either drains less or gets more power than my previous Note5 and both phones are/were configured identically.

A black screen with amoled means the only pixels lighting up are the ones in use. The screen itself is a massive drain so the more pixels are lit up, the more the juice is drained from the battery. That's why AOD doesn't kill the battery fast.

Ive used a USB multimeter on both my old and new note7.
No matter what, old or new note7, the charging rate gets cut exactly in half when charging with the screen on. This happens when using a quickcharger or a normal 2.4a 5v charger.
So if you want full speed charging the screen needs to be OFF.

On my replacement Note 7 I noticed that if you are doing allot with the phone, it still gets hot, the battery does take a little longer to charge with both the Samsung charger that came with the phone and an Anker IQ 2.0 / 3.0 charger. The phone does seem a little snappier/faster though.
I just want a removable battery to end all this bull * and I will pick the battery I want to power my phone.

The biggest advantage for the integrated battery is that the unit is completely sealed from water.

I beg to differ, because they have that wireless backpac battery that is completely sealed from water for the Note 7. The purpose of the permanently installed battery is for the NSA to track people since the battery cannot be removed from the phone.
Hey guys,
I have recently purchased xiaomi mi 6 and this is my first quick charge phone so something got me worried. My battery charging speed seems to be too fast for me. Although I don't think temperatures are worrying however I'm conserned regarding long term effects.
I have xiaomi mi 6 6gb ram 128gb storage ceramic edition model.
These are pictures taken from battery app from playstore and image of my charger.
If anyone have some advise about this it would be great.
My greatest consern is that charging speed doesn't seem to diminish as charge is getting to 90% after it hits 90% it slows down dramatically. But from what I know it should change charging speed between 60 and 70 percent to little slower then from 0 to 60.
Is this damaging battery?
Screenshots below.
Thank you.
Totally fine. Its QC 3.0. Imagine this: QC4+ charges ~50-60% in under 15 minutes.
Oh such a releaf. Thank for replying.
Anyone got idea if this has any at all negative effect to battery?
No, higher battery voltage - slower charge, you would damage your battery in few weeks without this slow down.
Also avoid heavy load of phone when charging

Would they put a fast charger in the box if the phone couldn't handle it? Nah probably not. Maybe Apple would......
Should you worry if you use the stock charger or a certified QC 3.0 charger? Definitely not its fine.
Are you still worried?: use a non QC 3.0 charger like 1.5 amp.
I use my old Sony one and it works equally well.
I find a slower charger gives slightly longer SOT.
The fast charger is just useful if I need power quickly.
Thanks guys
I am curious as to how is everyone's battery life been? I pulled my phone off the charger at 7:05 am and currently sitting at 73% at 9:06am.
is the screenshot for on screen time missing?
Is it me or is there no setting to automatically turn on battery saver mode when the device gets down to a certain percentage?? [emoji848]

Strangely....the battery drained faster than it charged for me. Of course, that's an exaggeration, but Quick Charge on this phone isn't as fast as other phones.
I can say that using it while charging DEFINITELY affected the charging speed more than my last phone. It does not charge quickly while charging AT ALL.

Using your phone while it's charging does not destroy your battery. It may not charge as fast because you're obviously draining it at the same time, but it's perfectly fine to use the phone.

charging and discharging at the same time causes heat, which does destroy the battery, unless you have a unit with something like oneplus dash charging that heats up at the wall instead of at the battery

It's a MYTH. Do a simple Google Search. And if it did destroy the battery, we'd definitely be hearing of a battery shortage simply from everyone driving around using their phones for GPS while plugged in.

hmmm my search turned up mixed results. some people think it'll make your battery explode, and that has been debunked. it is still debated (from what i can see) if doing heavy tasks (like gaming) while charging will degrade battery.

Your battery simply starts to degrade once you start draining and recharging. There's a difference between degrade and destroy. If it really destroyed our batteries, phone companies and cell phone carriers would be telling everyone to absolutely 100% do not use your phone while charging. That's just silly. How many times do you walk through an airport and see people sitting on the ground by an outlet, so they can charge and use their phone? Same with laptops. The batteries in cell phones now are so much better than they were before.

That's an old "wise tale". I do it on every phone whether it is needed or not though. I actually do it twice. I take it to around 10% and back up to 100. I still fully charge it before I even use it. May be a waste, but for some reason, it gives me a certain "pleasure".

Excessive heat destroys batteries. Charging creates heat. Using it while charging creates excessive heat.
Don't believe it and keep doing it if you want. Doesn't screw up anyones battery but yours so who cares

Hmmmm. We discuss 2 separate things here.
May you still use your phone when charging
Of course you may
Will it be charging as fast when its on and being used in contrast to being blocked?
Of course it will be charging very much slower
Those people in airports may either have very much cooler CPUs in their phones like MTKs, Snaps 660 or Apple A9s. They don't produce as much heat as SD820 or SD845 so shey can still keep battery cool and let it get charging., or they put their phones aside and let them get battery charged fast because its not charging as fast when being used. Like G7.
Using G7, especially gaming or watching Youtube on mobile cell produce too much heat and battery gets warm fast. So to prevent Note 7 style overheating and explosions both Samsung and LG makes speed of charging lowest in that case. Even that was stated by Samsung's advertisements when Galaxy S8 was introduced. You may search for them on Youtube. LG does the same, it become charging with 0.5A like form USB 2.0 port, lowest possible speed. It prevents battery from heating to avoid degrading and explosion. Turn screen off, put phone aside for half an hour and let it suck up juice
I have a POCO F3 and I know that it's normal for the phones to get a bit hotter while they are charging. I noticed that my phone while charging can get a temperature of 40º celcius, then the temperature comes down gradually I believe. When it's not charging, it's usually between 20-25º celcius. Is this normal?
Phone are supposed to heat up while charging (especially Fast Charging "33W"). Normal human body temperature is around 37c. So your phone is pretty safe on 40c while charging. But it isn't if it is on 40c all the time.

This phone uses fast charging till 90% and after it slows down. That is the cause of temperature decrease when it's approaching to 100%.
I used a slower charger and only a fast charger in emergencies, heat and electronics don't play nice.

The faster the charger, the higher temps, therefore more battery degradation.
However, 40°C is still o.k. I think. I think the advantages of using Fast Charging are bigger than the disadvantages.
Keep in mind, the biggest battery degredation comes simply from age.

Never use your phone with heavy tasks / call / gaming ... while charging : not only the heat will damage your battery, but this can explode, especially in hot environment !

The disavantages are bigger than advantages :
. heat degrades battery faster
. explosion risk still exist and is higher with fast chargers
. heat not only damages the battery but thermal paste in the motherboard and the storage ... you will notice lag / data corruption after 6 months no matter what you do/update the software !!!
I use only old chargers 5v/2a max ... even if my devices are modern and support fast charging !
Fast charging is a marketing trick to force consumers buying new phones in a short period while your phone can last more than 4 years !
Bad software/kernel optimization is the main culprit for fast battery draining.
Age/ Time : NO ... my Redmi Note 4 (mido) still holds (after 4 years) its full battery capacity and i can reach easily 9 to 10 hours SOT. (i use self compiled lineageos)

I think you are a bit overprotective. Explosion Risk? Come on. I know it can still happen, but it's so rare.
Yes generally heat causes Battery degradation, but it also depends on the phone and how good of a job the manufacturer has done.
10 Watt Charging is really slow man...
I also don't think it's simply Marketing, because Batteries have also gotten bigger. We went from 3300 mAh batteries, to 4500 mAh batteries in many phones nowadays.
Chipsets are also getting more and more efficient through 5, 7 nanometer-technology, however the increased clock-speed (and other stuff) outdoes that mentioned efficiency-improvement.
I really understand your concern, but don't you think it's overprotective? 10 Watt is really slow in my opinion

Don't forget the heat generated by the modern cpu/gpu ... so yeah add this to the heat generated by the battery itself !!!
... and don't forget that smartphones are closed environments for the electronic components (some manufacturers add fans for heat dissipation and they know why they are doing this) !
I don't care about slow charging since ... i remove the sim card and put it on another phone while charging.

So should I buy a slower charger? Or can I keep this one?
gringo80 , I agree with the things you have mentioned. I have only one doubt, does the use of slow chargers with the new Mi 11x will support it completely and doesn't have any side effects?
In Layman's language, slow charges can be used with today's generation Android phones?
9to5Google has released an interesting article. I never noticed this, since I charge my phone slowly overnight with a 5 watt wireless charger. Have you guys also experienced this? Can people here with root can confirm wattage measurements? Especially the decrease overtime?
As it seems, both the Pixel 6 & Pixel 6 Pro are affected by this.
Google is notorious for having algorithms that sometime suck and need refinement, just like Adaptive Charging that only likes you when you are a normal human being that wakes up in the morning; if you are a night worker, Google doesn't care about you.
Pixel 6 doesn't actually charge at 30W as Google implies, analysis finds 22W max
A new analysis of the Pixel 6 charging speeds finds that the phone never hits its advertised 30W charging speeds, even under ideal conditions.

At this point I'd rather have a broken adaptive charging setting as the culprit. Maybe it's active without people having the toggle on. As far as I know, the "trigger" for adaptive charging is an alarm set in the morning. Would be interesting to know if the people with slow charging problems have any alarms set at all, to rule that out.
I was going to take the charger back because I had to pay for it and for the most part was no faster than my previous pixel phones, a couple of days ago tried the two chargers side by side, and this time the charger was apparently going to be 30mins faster to fully charge, nothing scientific rather looking at time till full on lock screen.
And as you mention in the evenings charges super slowly, so no point having a charger that I had to pay for.
The has been plenty of people saying that their phone never fully charges, and my guess also is no alarm set
I'm having similar issues with wireless charging so I think this is probably part of a bigger problem with the phone, and probably why they haven't put out the new pixel stand yet. It could really tank the launch if they released it today and the phone still has all these problems and can't charge at the advertised 23 Watts.
After reading this I'll be sending my charger back, no immediate need for it at the moment, perhaps further down the line if Google sort it out on the phone.
Google need to address this because a lot of us have bought the official charger and it's not giving what is advertised. They'll keep quiet about it though until any sort of noise from it dies down.

The article says it doesn't go over 22W, that's already false in my case.

Not sure how you're getting 27.4w there? 30w is approximately 6000mah current draw, no?

It depends on the voltage. The specifications of the power brick say that at 5V and 9V it outputs 3A of current.
You can see from the screenshot I posted that the phone was pulling 3.076A @27.4W.
P=VI, so V=P/I
V=27.4W/3.076A=8.91V
It seems pretty spot on to me.
Attached the specifications of the power brick.
