I've been using Android N since they started the developer opt in (not flashed, not rooted) and today I noticed that neither my Pixel or my 6P say fast charging today. I'm using the original chargers and cables that came with them. I have not tested the charging speeds with an app. Before I do this I just wanted to check if anyone else team into this issue?

I believe this is a known issue... Some claim they're still charging at the fast charging rate... Others claim that they aren't... Personally, I haven't noticed any difference in charging rate from MM.
Have a good one!

Would this be a safe idea it terms of the life of the battery down the road? I also bought a 3rd party car charger.

I use chargers from various phones. Have used different phone chargers with all my phones. Never had or noticed any problems. I'm sure you will be fine.

Yes, it's safe. I'm using an old Samsung charger to charge my Nexus. The charger doesn't really matter IMO.

When using chargers that don’t come with the device, the only difference it can possibly cause is the rate of charging (how fast your device charges).
Just take a look at the milliamp rating on your charger. The N4 comes with a charger that outputs at 1400ma. I found that if I charged my N4 with a charger made for SE Arc, it takes forever to charge which isn’t a surprise since that charger outputs 750ma.
Don’t worry about using a higher milliamp charger on a device that’s rated to charge at a lower rate. The device will only draw what it needs. I’m not sure what’s the maximum ma the N4 will charge at, but let’s assume it will charge at 1400ma maximum. Even if you use a 2A charger, it will still charge at 1400ma.
Even I thot its safe and was using my Nexus 7 charger with the Nexus 4 . everything was fine for a few hours. Then suddenly it froze and the screen started getting weird lines on it .I immediately removed the charger and while the device was rebooting I could notice that the screen had a burn in kinda image on it. It slowly faded away later. Haven't used the Nexus 7 charger since and I've never got the same issue again.

Did you overheat the phone?

I don't think so. Cuz I wasn't even using it. It was just lying there most of the time. I switched on the display and was looking at battery monitor widget to check the charging status and then maybe twitter or something and it just froze. Held down the power button for 10seconds then restarted it.

As a rule of thumb I'd keep then Nexus 4 away from the Nexus 7 charger.

The N7 charger is rated at 2A. I sometimes use it to charge my N4. Most of the time, I use a generic 2A charger. At the office, I use a Samsung 2A charger for my N4. I’ve encountered zero problems.
Truthfully I'm more concerned using a 12v in the car. Any suggestions what I can get?

Hi guys. I'm currently facing a huge problem which is very very slow charging rate. Last time it charged slowly and i tighten the usb port on the n7, thank God the problem solved. But now, even if i did that, it won't solve the problem. Now it took me more than 12 hours to charge from 5% to 95%. Please guys, help me. I couldn't wait for that long to fully charged. Is there anyway make it fast charging? My N7 just 10 months old and i am not so heavy user. thanks in advance.

are you using the charger that came with Nexus 7?
If so, try with some other charger and even if that didnt help, then there's some problem with the battery.
In case you had changed the charger, it will be slow as the output voltage of Nexus 7 charger is high compared to that of other devices.
What is the voltage output of the chargerv

the words on the charger fade away. i think is 2.0A..
just chiming in here , i have noticed my nexus takes longer to charge and run out faster since 4.3
lets hope kitkat actually bring fixes not problems, jb was a great update n all but the amount of problems device spread was silly for an official. google really needs to start sourcing employees from xda
I know Qualcomm quick charging isn't supported but any harm in using the chargers. I don't expect it to be any quicker than a regular charger but I just want to be able to charge at work while I'm waiting on getting another charger

You can use QuickCharge charges for any phone, even if it doesn't support QuickCharge, it will just charge at the normal rate.
OK thanks! I forgot that I also have to get cables. The other included cable is way too short

Since today my 6P doesn't want to charge via the included charger. It does charge with the extra charger that I bought in the Play Store but, it only displays 'charging' instead of 'fast charging'. Charging also works via computer usb port.
Tested both chargers with my brother's 6P and both do Fast Charging on his device.
What could be the problem?

Simple reboot fixed mine the one time this happened.
Seems like a reboot did the trick. Did scare the hell out of me, when the issue occurred.

Even I am facing this issue and reboot didn't solve the problem.. It took 6 hrs to recharge the phone from 2% using stock charger.. Facing this issue from last 10 days

When that happened to me I had to RMA the phone.
Fast Charging
I have noticed that the fast charger really don't charge fast at all. Once in a blue moon I'll notice that it's working like it should but majority of the time, it takes as long as a regular charge. My note 4 is twice as fast. Two of my friends have said the same exact thing. Is anyone else noticing this?

I have only charged the replacement once and i did notice it took longer. The phone was off mind you and it hasn't been used but i noticed that.
I hope they didn't slow it down

I have definitely noticed a difference in charging speed with my replacement note 7. My first one charged much faster than this one does. I think they must of put a limitation on them to help with battery issues.
