Ok so I'm one of those people that like to use the phone while charging (don't ask why)...but anyways since i do this, I disable fast charging to prevent overheating and overall battery damage. However, whenever i disable it and check the notification bar it says its still fast charging. I try this process over and over and it always switches back to fast charging almost immediately anyone else having this issue? Might just have to take it back for a new one but it just annoying cause i already set my phone up with all my stuff...
lmk, and thanks to everyone ahead of time!
Edit: But other then this issue im really having no other problems and really loving this phone!
Have you tried disconnecting your phone while it's charging, THEN disabling the fast charging and plugging it back in to see if that works? Maybe it's not letting you because it's already in the "Fast Charge" state to begin with.
If you use your phone while charging 'Fast Charge' is disabled according to the manual, so no need to disabled it, maybe that gives a conflict (bug in programming e.g.).

Ok heres my problem,
My phones battery is completely messed up. The phone ALWAYS says that its at %99 battery(and the number never decreases) but after a couple of minutes of use it will turn off by itself, no warning or anything.
I think I know how it happened(as a warning for other ppl). I went on vacation once and I didn't have a charger cuz there were no computers at the hotel, so I brought a random USB wall charger I found laying around(which I later found out it belongs to some spy pen camcorder ).
Unfortunately though it was charging SUUPPERR slow, so I got the crazy idea to charge it while it was off and to my surprise(dramatization) it charged (a lot)faster.
So I kept charging it like that every day and I noticed that every charge took less time than the last. It also started turning off by itself, though not as frequently as now. I thought the problem would fix it self once I charged it on my computer again, but I was wrong. TT_TT
---
Can anyone offer any solutions? I have a G1 with CM5 and clockworks recovery. I know clockworks recovery lets you do something with the battery, but idk how to use that
please help, this is a REAALLY annoying problem thats forced me to go back in time
You need to make sure it's putting out the same amount of power as your regular charger. I'm not 100% sure of this, as all I can do is charge at my computer and I have no idea how that works (as in if computer puts out waaay more power or has a limit of how much to put out) but I've always heard too much can be a bad thing for batterys. Also, don't overcharge.
^^Just posted that in another thread.
sounds like a died battery
On a few occasions now I have plugged it in to charge overnight, to find that it has not charged, or only part charged. The LED starts blinking as it should, but the next morning it is still blinking and only gone up, say 10%.
Also on occasion, I plug it in to charge and although the LED blinks, the battery icon does not change to reflect that it is now charging.
Has anyone else had similar problems or, as I suspect, do I have a defective unit?
I have only charged and walked away from my device once (that I can remember) and for whatever reason it either failed to charge or was just charging stupidly slow. I ended up unplugging booting the device and plugging it back in again where it proceeded to charge normally.
Not sure if this is similar to what you describe but it is a strange behaviour while charging even if I have only come across it once so far.
Well, there's not much chance of getting a replacement any time soon, so I will just cross my fingers that it needs "running in". Will try rebooting also.
Thanks.
There are reports of this issue happening, indeed its just happened to me!
Youre not alone and afaik its not a defective device. If i find more info ill let you know

I can only charge mine effectively if I turn the Vega off, if not if charges for a while but then the light just goes out. If the Vega is off it charges fine.
There has been a lot of talk about the sub-standard chargers over at MoDaCo, I keep meaning to try and get a new regulated charger from somewhere and try that.
Maybe this weekend.

Well spotted, now I turn it off before plugging it in, it works fine.
Another annoyance is my screen brightness reverting to default after every boot. I have to go into settings and although the adjustment bar is at max, have to re-set it to max for it to apply. Anyone else?!
I recently purchased my tab and am loving it so far however 1 problem seems to be happening regularly whenever i go to charge it says "charging paused. Battery temperature too high or low"
Now im not really sure how to check the temp(this is my 1st ever android device) but the back of it does not seem hot nor cold , so i was wondering whether or not it is my device or my charger or something.
If anyone else has had this issue or knows whats causing it it'd be great if you could share
Forgot to mention its still stock rom with nothing fancy added

Are you using a wall Charger or a USB charger? I have found that some 3rd party usb wall chargers charge with a different voltage and the tab does not like it, and will either not charge at all or will complain about battery temp
Download an app called elixir and it will tell you temperature stats of your battery. I never experienced such an issue. Discharge the battery completely and recharge it. If you still face such issues and indeed temperatures are up consider returning and exchanging the device.
I downloaded the app it says its -5 celcius. And im using the standard wallcharger that came with the device.

-5 degrees C? you aren't standing outside in alaska are you? normal running temp should be about 29 degrees C. I would have to say that you have a bad device.
Thats weird. Reboot the phone and recheck temp again. If its still stuck something might not be quite right with the temperature sensors.

I tried rebooting but its completely dead now, and still not charging when plugged in.
If it is the sensors i need to send it in then? or there might be another way to fix it? (i really dont trust the tmobile guys i'll probably never get my tab back once i send it in"
I have report on Jira the following issue.
The led in our OnePlus One doesn't lit when the phone is turned off and we try to charge it, it will affect most if not 100% OnePlus One user, the bug is reported by me using their official rom but happens almost in every rom I've tested(radio issue if you ask me).
Check it here: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-4187
The assigned person on this actually told me to stay quite about this and I'm like why??? and to be exact and not lying about it, he said: " I'm not going to advertise the issue (and I would rather you not either)". They want to hide this for some reason.
Some might say but why charge it while it's turned off? well if you are in a hurry every juice is needed, also why not have a "proper" phone? even Chinese no-name brands have this, it's basic function.
Please spread this and make an upvote so this would be solved asap(sure it's not life threating issue but surely I'd like to have it because why not?)
Can't say I have ever turned my phone off to charge it. Nor can I be bothered to even to test it.
I don't really see the issue, if you are turning it off to quick charge then you are in a rush and not fully charging it anyway.
Won;t the LED draw power and slow down charging *jk*
Just out of interest, does the power drain on startup of the phone not offset the tiny amount of power saved that the phone would be using when in deep sleep

If you plug the cable how would you know it's actually charging? ..to verify you need to press the power button once to check the battery level in the screen. People don't mind have problematic devices fine by me they deserve this
Me on the other hand? why not fix this, even if I rarely use it ..it's not rocket science and it was working when I got the device in the first place
P.S. "Just out of interest, does the power drain on startup of the phone not offset the tiny amount of power saved that the phone would be using when in deep sleep" Lets say you have 30 minutes to spend and you need to leave ASAP, turning off the phone will charge more than having the phone turned on in "deep sleep" ..phone still uses energy and some apps do run in the backround that you probably forget to close(we're only humans)
My Huawei P10 lite(WAS-LX1A) supports Huawei quick charging(18W-9V2A). But it works only when the phone is OFF. When it's ON it takes around 5 hours to charge. When it's OFF its only 1h 40m. I'm using the original charger and cable. If I switch ON the phone after plugging in when it was OFF, then quick charging works for a few minutes and gets slow again. I have tried everything. It is not a heating issue because its the same even when the phone is completely cool. How do I get fast charging to work when phone is ON?? According to monitoring apps when the phone is ON it doesn't get more than 0.8A(max). Usually its around 0.4A(average). This is not an issue with the cable, charger or the usb port because everything is in great condition and original
Howzit bud,
I also use a P10 Lite and since the first day, the Fast Charging was always unpredictable and not constant.
A friend of mine mentioned to me a few months ago that the Fast Charge is affected by the cache being too large at that time.
So I did the restart into the Boot Loader and cleared the Cache Partition.
Thereafter it seemed to be working more often but still not always.
I use the Accubattery app as well to monitor the charge rate on my phone and the maximum charge rate when it's fast charging shows 2,750mA.
I can use the phone to browse items on the device and it'll still be charging fast.
But the moment I use the browser or YouTube app, the charge rate immediately drops to around 650-700mA.
I first thought it was my charger or cable, bought another original fast charger + OEM cable, cleaned the charging port, etc. No difference.
But in the meantime why don't you go to Settings, Storage and use the Storage Cleaner.
It should assist somewhat.
But for me, clearing the cache partition like I said absolutely helped.
Lemme know if it works.
Hey. Glad to find another user of this device. I tried clearing the cache partition but unfortunately it had no effect nor did cleaning storage. I got a new cable to see if there is any difference and there actually is a little difference. I don't know why because there is absolutely nothing wrong with the first cable. I've also noticed that fast charging is more likely to work when WiFi is used instead of mobile data. Turning screen of works too but overall its too hard to predict what'll trigger fc. A trick I found is that I can increase offline fc speed if I plug it in when the phone ON and then turn it OFF after it's plugged in for like a minute(don't unplug when switching OFF) . Do this instead of switching it OFF and then plugging it in. This method creates more heat but it can give a full charge in ~1h20m. Instead of the usual 1h50m. Maybe yours does this by default I don't know. Thanks. Let me know if you find anymore tricks

It's great that you've found somewhat of a workaround that works on your device.
When I was going through this problem I searched everywhere and all I could find were generic answers from everybody.
Like, "Make sure your using the original charger and cable" or "Maybe your cable/charging port is damaged" which only led to more frustration.
It's still a bit of a hit and miss affair but less impactful.
Try installing Accubattery to keep an eye on your charging rate on your device in real time.
I also have the data monitor permanently on my notification bar so I'm able to see how downloading files or watching YouTube affects charging.
It helps me.
Anyways, glad you're winning a bit.
Yes buddy I do have accubattery installed. If the display is off it charges at around 1900ma(avg). As soon as I start using it drops to 500ma(avg) . It's always either 500 or 1900. There's no inbetween. Looks like this bug is a mistake by huawei that wasn't checked or fixed. We'll have to live with it

Yeah, this fast charge tech wasn't ready for release when they gave it to us...
Good stuff!
Mine max charge rate caps out at exactly 2750mA.. But yeah, if I'm using the phone it drops right down.
Cool
Later
