I don't know about you guys, but charging my P7000 is a struggle. Literally, it takes on average 6 hours to charge from 0 to 100% with the stock charger. I tried many different chargers (Samsung 2.0A, Aukey Quick Charger, Asus VivoTab 8 Charger) and they are all amazingly slow (usually even slower than the stock one).
Could anyone figure out how to charge this phone faster? It drives me crazy to take this long to charge!!!
Thank you.

Hi there!
Your problem is not a weird one my friend! I have 2 chargers: the telephone one (which sucks, unfortunately) and a huawei ascend's.
At first my elephone charger worked fine and charged my phone in 3 hours. Same with the huawei.
My telephone charger though sucks because it broke after little use (mine lasted 2 months, my gf's only 1 day and a friend's less than a month and I doubt we are the only ones with that problem).
Please try a few things to determine where you stand here:
1) charge it with another USB cable (successfully tested on another telephone)
2) charge it on a successfully tested plug.
3) if you're using an adapter, try another adapter.
If nothing there changes your battery charging time consider testing your hardware pasting this code on your phone: *#*#33#*#*
Try the charging setting and if it gives you trouble send it back for another device
I can testify the phone charges in 3 hours with the telephone or huawei ascend charger when they all work fine, but the elphone chargers and USB cables are aweful, they brake easily and the USB port on the charger loosens very quickly which doubles or triples your charging time.

Hey everyone.
I figure we could chat on what method you prefer on charging your wizard.
Do you charge always by USB?
Do you only use a wall charger?
A combination of both?
And why? Is there a benefit for using a certain method?
I try to always charge with the wall charger.
I use usb at work - when I need to, but find that it is more of a flash charge, that does not last nearly as long as the wall charger.
Just my 2 cents
Really I heard someone saying charging with a USB saturates the chemicals better?
not sure though.
as with any chemical, the longer the "cure" time, the longer it lasts.
My wall charger charges it too quick and it dies quicker. USB seems to last longer. Also, I have been using a wall plug usb adapter for a long time (the kind you stick into the outlet and plug a usb cord into it) I never had an issue. it wasn't untill i used the original wall charger that I started to have some problems (like I bought a brand new battery and brought it in from the cold (winter) pluged it into my phone; kept my phone off and charged it. apparently the batt got so hot that the plastic covering cracked. the stupid thing was that the batt was not room temp... but I'm afraid my wall charger is deffinately retired. I had the old batt for over 2 years, maybe even 3 and so far it has held up pretty well with usb charging.
Still holds up pretty well if I use usb.
Note: on the wiki they say that the Wizard last about 11hrs on a full charge. that is a blatant lie! I have had it last about 2 days (like the nights I didn't go home) the batt never dropped lower than 30% ever!!! untill I flashed it to a different rom
I posted a fix I think works for me on Merlin's Slim rom 6.1 ver2
It consists of registry settings and and a cab file that should adress your power issues. have fun lookins
I like charging with charge
It takes longer time to charge by usb than using wall charegr

i charge it overnight with the wall charger.
however, since i have started to play on it at work, i bought a wind up usb cable, hacked the wires inside to only leave the power connections, and i bring that to work to recharge it on the computer. call me paranoid, but since the tech support guys jump in and mess with the computer remotely i dont want any chance of them digging thru my phone
and if i have to have to charge it in the car, i have an old fm transmitter you can plug a flash drive into and it will play mp3s...so i plug my phone in there instead and viola el cheapo car usb charger
What lasts longer?
I've been having issues with battery on my S5 for months since my purchase in late September. I have recently just bought another USB 3.0 adapter[ Insignia 3' USB 3.0 from Best Buy] which seemed to rectify my slow charge/short life problem. I recently used a Samsung USB wall adapter and it charged to 100% VERY quickly. The battery lasted for almost 2 days with regular use, being used to only a half day usually. So I had used a Micro USB charger rated at 5V = 550 mA and this would not work. I tried plugging my cable into a Samsung 5v = .7A adapter and still no luck. The cable lights up with an LED on the end when it has current, and it was lighting up on the wall but the phone does not charge, however it does charge on the PC. I've also been experiencing several issues with functionality, such as not being to control the phone sometimes because of the screen flashing, this happening after making a call I did not place. Would a factory reset potentially clear up this problem. Thanks in advance.
The stock samsung charger is 5.3v 2A (2000mA) you will need something with at least those specs to charge it properly
550mA is only 1/4 the power you need, and will likely pop the charger
0.7A is still only 700mA and less than half the power you need (2000mA / 2A)
My original charger started to do something very weird: When i plug it (original fast charger and original cable from samsung) it starts fast charging my phone (s6 Edge+) and after a few minutes sometimes it heats up a lot, stops charging and discharge all my phone (to 0%), even charging with the phone off. I've tried other wall sockets in the home, same thing; tried other cable, same thing; tried to charge other phone with it, it does the same (heats up and discharge phone). Sammy warranty doesn't cover bad chargers, does it?
PS - I have the charger since October and just i month ago he started to do this
Update: went to samsung store, charger and cable replaced for free
My friend the same happened to me, the problem is with cable it self not the charger so the solution is very simple try to find ( Nokia cable )most of Nokia cables are suitable with Samsung and even it better from the original, the short one or the tall one all the same.
Hello,
i'm new here and i'd be glad if someone can help me. So i got my phone a month ago and i noticed that while its charging (with the original charger) and while using it in the same time it almost does not charge at all, still when it's not used it does actually fast charge. As a previous samsung user, i never had this issue with samsung phones (they always fast charged even on heavy use).
That's one problem, the second one is scrolling isn't smooth. Yet my internet speed is 1GB at home although i don't see it related, overall scrolling let's say for example Facebook, snapchat, browser, it gets slow at few times and it ain't smooth like i expected it to be.
My device isn't even rooted so i haven't messed with it anyhow, running usual diagnostics and clearing apps regularly, downloaded just few social media apps so no heavy games on the phone but still i can't figure out if it's just my phone or is it the lg g6 like that.
thank you
1st i wanted to mention maybe the problem is your outlet in house but, yes G6 is charging slower when you use it on your charger.. And when it comes to fast charging to mine it tooks 1h and 40min from 0-100% bit slower than competiton models, but again fast enough.
When it comes on smoothness i am on V10T EU update and the phone has no laggs at all. It did had on past versions. But with this V10T i hadn't had any smoothness issue.. It really is great, and for playing with the phone while charging i wouldn't recommend that. It can really take effect on your battery.

The scrolling lag sounds like there might be something making the phone work hard. Heavy usage would also make it charge more slowly than expected, because some of that power is going to operate the phone rather than into the battery. BUT I don't think it would prevent the "fast charging" text on the display.
It is remarkable how badly-behaved apps can be - I'd remove/disable your apps one at a time and see if one of them is responsible.
Try a fully compliant aftermarket quick charge 3.0 charger, it should charge much faster. Unlike a QC 3.0 charger, the charger bundled with the phone does not include 12V charging mode, so it's not allowing the phone to charge as fast as the phone can handle (the phone is fully quick charge 3.0 compliant and can charge faster than the bundled charger is capable of doing).

Yup, that's true. BUT I have s7 and g6 and both are slowly charging when I'm using them, phone would get too hot if it would fast charge while using it
I appreciate all your replies guys. Thank you.
Although i noted i dont have any heavy apps or heavy usage, the scrolling lag seems like a lag to me because i got used to faster phones before. Or maybe it is the original cable i need to change as you guys said. Anyway thanks again
I also encountered slow charging problems, but it seemed to be the cable, in some position it worked and in some it did not. I've bought an one plus dash cable for about 10 $, red one, and no problems since then. The cable is more thicker and robust, I highly recommend it.
Hi, I've got this problem: sometimes when I plug my G6 to the charger, a popup message comes out saying:
Charging slowly
Try the following if charging is slow:
- make sure to completely remove any water or debris from the USB ports.
- reconnect both ends of the cable.
- use the charger and cable that came with the phone.
Sometimes, instead, the phone starts charging normally with fast charging. If that popup comes out and I try to unplug and plug USB cable a couple of times, the phone starts charging again with fast charge.
Sometimes, when the phone is already charging with fast charge, suddenly the phone stops charging for a couple of seconds and starts again (I notice it because of the popup sound that comes if you plug the phone to USB)
I even tried to clean USB port, swapped the original USB cable with Anker cable but still using the original LG charger.
Of course there is no water in the port, otherwise a moist detector message would appear.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Can I solve buying a new charger? I'm afraid USB port might be broken

I did it recently after I upgraded to Oreo but this was happening even before I did reset the phone.

Yeah i found that funny that LG lied and tried to get by on using the chargers from the failed lg G5 shipped with the G6. They only support 2.0 charging so just use the cord and use another 3.0 block or get a portable 3.0 power pack. They are 20 bucks on amazon. Good ones too.

can this be a good charger?
I bought an used G6 without charger but I have a Pixel charger model GL0102 and when I plug the phone I cant see the fast charging notification on the screen. It only say charging.
Hello,
I own a Ticwatch Pro for now about 2 years. I don't use it very much. But since I own it, I always had problems to charge it.
If the watch still have between 70% and 90%, then it charges quite well (but very very slow, and I need to power on the watch or it will not charge).
Below 70%, the watch does not charge ... I need then to disconnect / reconnect many times thes charger for the charge to begin.
I cleaned the contacts, and I use a 5V 1A charger.
But now it's even worse : the watch was at 93% of charge, I connected it to the charger. The watch was showing the charging icon. But in fact, it did not charge anything.
Now the watch battery is totally empty, and I cannot charge it (I tried with two different 5V 1A chargers, even with a PC).
Does anyone have a clue on how to solve this issue ?

I have found my problem : the charger is dead. But in fact, the original Ticwatch charger was dead for a long time, only charging the watch after several tries. I ordered a new one on Amazon (not branded), for 7 €, and it works a lot better than the original !!

Hi ! I know it has been a while, but I believe I have the same issue with my watch, I got the Ticwatch pro 5, and just after 2 days of owning, the charger won't work, I tried unplugging and plugging back like they suggested in the FAQ, but that did not work either.
Like you I am suspecting the cable, and went on to order another one now, any chance you got the same one ( SKEIDO USB Charging Cable Power Charger Adapter Dock Magnetic Stand for ticwatch- proX/pro3/pro3 LTE/pro 3 Ultra GPS Smartwatch ) , also, has the issue ever happened again to you ?
Thanks
