sometimes it will chagge for a bit then it will start to drain again.
if its charged there is no battery drain
battery is physically in good condition
[also have a nother cable and 1a charger that used to charge the phone with the same issues]

does this still happen if you turn the screen off and charge?
It charges slow if at all the only 100% way to charge is to turn it off looks like it can't handle the power provided to it via the charger have also factory reset

hi all
i'd like to ask your opinion on what this fault
i purchased a xda2 which i use in my car with a gps reciever & satnav software. the cable i use is in the pic below. it connects to the ciggy lighter and then powers the gps box and powers/charges the phone at the same time.

the problem is that if the battery is below about 35% and i plug it into the car charger and turn on the gps stuff the battery doesn't charge eg. battery showing 18%. i plugged it into car charger and turned on gps stuff. drove 20 mins home and battery was showing 8 % by the time i got home even though the battery status thing shows as charging.
BUT
if the battery is at about 70 % and i use it in my car with all the gps stuff it charges fine.
does this point to a faulty battery or something more serious
thanks for any input.
It is all about the mA. check out the mA specifications on the cable. 500 mA output is too low. 1000mA is ok.
Just a word of warning against buying an in car charger of eBay. I got one free with a phone holder, From here.
I used if for a few days no problem. I did notice that it did get a bit hot but thought that was because of the phone being so powerful.
Driving along the motorway at full speed and bang. The charger exploded. Loads of smoke.
I quickly unplugged what was left of the charger.
After I stopped I plugged in my other charger. But it would not charge. When I got home I plugged it in to the mains and fully charged it. When I got the battery full message I unplugged it but still got the battery full message. Even a hour after.
I use battery life from curvefish. Normally it says good. But then it said over volt. I turned off the phone. Then I got a loop of the following screens.

this is after a hour of the battery being out. put it in. before i can turn it on it does the above.
I have had the phone for 34 days at this point. So I phoned phones4u who said yes I had it for 34 days but I was still able to exchange and not a repair. So I am lucky to get a new phone. But now am worried about using in car chargers.
not anything of use. just some info.
think i will look for a official samsung in car charger.
oh, and the phone holder was crap too.
Goodday folks, So i have a 910F running stock android 5.0.2 i recently noticed that sometimes my battery charges really slow from 90% till 100% to measure charging current i download an app called battery monitor by 3c. The current seems to be normal however i noticed another weird issue that my phone continues to draw some power from charger even when the battery indicator is full with green led (the draw seems to be going down around 100ma when i took it off) . Im using stock fast charger and cable can anyone else confirm if this is normal or if i have a defective unit? Attaching a picture for reference. Thanks

it will draw power to keep the battery at 100%
and it's normal for the charging rate to go down a bit when almost full.
a battery produces more heat while charging when it's almost full, so they need to slow down the charging to reduce the heat production.
Can anyone confirm if the adaptive fast chargers from samsung activates the quickcharge on our G6?
Because those samsung chargers are cheap.

I've been using this Samsung charger almost everyday for a few months now, it works great
I didn't see any difference in charging time with the "official" LG charger.

Is the quick charge notification displayed? (batt level has to be below 80% to test it)

Yes, the quick charge notification was shown.
Confirmed, works on g6 as fast charging

I received a faulty Tab A (soft brick) which I was able to fix, however it seems to charge very slow. I used 3 different chargers for a Samsung and Xiaomi mobiles and Asus tablet, all around 2-4a, but they all charged at the same rate. It took 5hrs to reach 94%. I left it on flight mode for the last 24hrs and it's only dropped 1% (which is amazing) so I'm sure it's not the battery at fault. If multiple chargers/cables are charging at the same rate and the battery loss is solid I'm guessing it could be the USB port. If not, what else could it be? I don't know the history of this tablet as they just dumped it on me.
Very shallow curve, it should be a lot steeper:

Hello, I own a T585 and I can tell you that this is very picky with loading ports.
I have a multi loader (Easyacc) and the Tab is only with 2.1 Ampere fast charging.
Not with 1.0 not with 2.4 not with more.
Reccomend you to use a similar charger or a original.
I didn't quite understand what you mean. So I have to use a 2.1a charger or original Tab A charger only? I found them in 5v and 12v, both for Tab A, which one is correct?
