Is anybody having slow charging problems when the screen is still on?
A couple of days ago it took over an hour to charge from 5% to 25%, all I was doing was social media browsing. As soon as I put the phone down with the screen off the % jumped to 85% in around 30 minutes. I took my V20 back to the LG shop and in the end they replaced the unit as they could see the problem but was unsure what it was. They then tested the new one just before I was leaving and it was again taking nearly 90 seconds or more to charge 1% on the new device straight out the box. They went and give me a new battery and said to test it out for a few days before going back to them. It was there first complaint about the charging speed.
Again, while not using the device the charging is quick on the new device, but slow when the screen is on and in use. I will give it a couple of days and take some screenshots of the battery stats if it continue. It did say on my old device while connected that it was 5hr 45min until fully charged which is obviously wrong.
No weird apps on there that could be causing it as far as I'm aware, unless it's an LG pre-loaded one.
Strange that the new phone is doing the same.
Sounds like that's how the V20 manages battery charging. It charges faster with the screen off. And a lot faster with the whole thing off.
Same thing happens to me. When using Waze app. Even if it says fast charging, its noticeably slower than when i had my note 5 or 7.
Maybe its "heat management"? Im just guessing. Maybe to prevent it from heating fast with the screen on + quick charge
I think it's QC 3.0 - it does it so as to not overheat the battery. I have it happen on mine too when using a QC 3.0 charger.
When using a QC 2.0 charger(Samsung charger) it chargers a bit faster while screen on but the phone starts to get noticeably warm.
It is probably a thermal management thing. My N6 Shamu got very warm on QC2 with screen on.
The v10 does the same thing it's probably because the screen is the biggest battery drain on the phone so using it obviously would cause a significant charge delay.

Normal.
Hmm. I notice charging is slower when it's the temperature is higher.
I just bought a Spigen Rugged Armour case and I think it's trapping heat during usage. And when I start charging, it's not as quick as I had hoped.
I'm going to observe a little more.
Alright. I've done a few days of observations. It definitely charges a lot slower when the screen is on. I used the Ampere app and it charges around 900mAh max, screen on.
When it's off, it averages around 2800mAh, depending on temperature too. Once it hits close to 40 Celsius, it drops to 2000mAh or lower.
With the phone powered down, it charges faster than just screen off. How much faster, I am unable to measure without using some special hardware.
Overall, I'm quite pleased with the charging performance.
Turn your screen brightness down. Also I noticed restarting the phone helps with it to charge faster. Could just be a glitch in charging software

So I was a bit skeptical about practical use cases for the fast charging. I made a general observation after the first few days. It's currently completely not scientific. But it seems when I disabled the fast charging, my phone seemed to handle battery life way better. Idk how efficient the energy is when done via fast charge, but I've always heard that a slow steady charge is better for lithiums.
I figured maybe this could cover the impacts of fast charge and whether people have noticed similar things. (Day 4)

Looking forward to your findings!
I disabled fast charge the day I got it. Seems pointless to me since the only time I charge is at night. It's a cool feature if I need a charge in 20 minutes but the note 3 I gave my wife would charge in no time as well.
Battery life is great so far for me.

I've been testing this as well. I leave fast charging on and I'm seeing an easy 14 or so hours off charger with 4 to 5 hours screen time.
Fast charging is incredible. My last charge cycle I recorded was 56% to 98% in 28 min. That's about 1.5% per minute. Though I suspect soome non linearity as it gets closer to 100%.
As far as the longevity of a charge based on regular or Gast charging . There will Likley be no correlation. The charge circuit will handle the incoming current appropriately and the battery is built to handle it. I am a EE and am intimately familiar with battery technology. The charger itself changes its output voltage for fast charging (stepping up the voltage but lowering the current) and I'm at sure there is some software as well as special hardware controls in place to ensure the battery is charging effeciently.
The usual problem with charging batteries too fast is due to heat build up in the battery. However, these new batteries were developed to solve these problems. I wouldn't worry about it.
Here are my results with just over 3 hours of screen time

I love quick charge. Nuff sedd lol!
After a whole day on wifi in the office plus weak cellular signal inside the building destroys the battery, I plug it in for 15-20 minutes and I'm good for a whole night. Love it.

18 hours off battery, 4hrs screen time, and still 19% battery.
I wouldn't care if fast charging destroyed my battery every 6 months. I'd buy another for $20, but it's not going to do that.
Am I losing my mind, or is anyone else noticing this?

You could be losing your mind, I can't really tell from here!!!
However, no I am not noticing slower charging. Have you made sure that fast charge is enabled and that you're using the original charger?
For good measure I also erased all the caches after the update.
You are not losing your mind. It is charging slower. I thought there was a fix on this thread. I guess not.
The latest Samsung firmware that comes with Nougat seems to charge very conservatively, based on my tests before and after with a USB Volt/Amp/Watt meter of my S7 Verizon and T-Mobile varient.
I used to see ~9v/1.6a/14w from my quick charger with the screen off or on. Now I see ~5v/1a/5w with the screen on, ~9v/1a/9w with the screen turned off and switching in and out to ~9v/1.6a/14w when keeping the screen off over time.
On Marshmellow, my phones used to get from warm to hot very often, but now it gets slightly warm at worst.
During boot I do see ~9v with the screen on until I reach the home screen.
I imagine this it to protect the lifetime of the battery and avoid Note7 fires.
I am not too happy with this because the phone can't charge fast while driving with GPS and screen on. I noticed that (when driving) if the battery is under 90%, the best any charger can do is keeping it at the same battery level. So now I aim to charge my battery fully before any drive. It is good that the battery will last longer since it cannot be replaced.
I have the feeling my s8 doesnt really fast recharge even if it's enabled (i'm on 2nd charge now)... how long does it usually take you guys to charge it full when its very low, around 5%? And how long does it say it takes on the notification? Thanks!
About 1h50 or something with normal charge, not fast charge.

Mine definately took longer to charge than that the 2nd time (the first one i was asleep so i dont know) and with fast charge. Does it matter which side you plug in the cable or it's the same? I'm getting worried.
The side of the cable does not matter. I normally charge my phone when it's about 15% and with normal charge it takes around 1h40. Next time I charge it around 5% I will check but I think it's about 1h50 to 2h. My S7 was definitely faster in charging.
Takes about 90 minutes with fast charge
Around an hour and 20-30 minutes, a bit slower when I'm using wireless fast charging.
Did you notice a substantial difference between normal charge and fast charge? Lat time I checked it was about 10 minutes difference until full charge. I expected more, it was much better on the S7.
I think that fast charging got capped by samsung after all the note 7 exploding battery horror stories. And it got capped at 2.45amp fast wired charging and around 1.35 with fast wireless charging since the nougat update on the galaxy s7. when it was around 2.8 fast wired and 1.8 fast wireless charging on MM
Beside the charging rate cap, the fone is much cooler while fast charging now as it used to get crazy hot reaching temps above 42c while now it never gets over 36.smthing.
So while its slower i guess its a much better bet for the battery health and your safety.
Normal wired charging didnt change between MM and nougat and its around 1.7~1.8amp
These are my findings using the s7 and s8 exynos international versions and the statments above are purely my own opinion and experience which could be different for everyone.
I noticed that mine never goes over 1060ma while charging using Ampere. It takes about 1 hour 40 minutes to "fast charge" but it is cooler than any other phone I've ever had while charging.
The sad thing is that it REALLY takes longer if you are using the phone, like barely increasing its %. I even tried changing cables, chargers and places but now I know I'm not alone and this is how it works.
I have an Exynos.

IMO ampere is crap and slow to report, you need an app that can report as fast as cpufloat. As once you turn on the screen the charging rate will default to ~1amp regardless of the charging mode your using and thats when ampere starts to measure.
Use cpu float for info at glance
Or
Use accubattery to even help you distnguish which charging cables your using gives you the best charging rate.
Hope this helps

Back when I had my Galaxy S4 I used "CurrentWidget: Battery" which was really nice but is not working anymore so I installed Ampere.
I just tried both apps you mentioned and both gave me the 1050am right away. I'll try later on since I was at 90% and if I remember thats the point where it starts to throttle down the current.
I like the AccuBattery 80% cycle though, not sure I can really use it since I prefer to go with a full battery for the entire day.
Thank you!
Mine takes around 1hr 30 mins , The other night i turned fast charge off as i was going to leave it charge throughout the night but i actually forgot i had turned it off and had been charging for a few days with fast charge off..... surprisingly i noticed no difference! It still took around the same time to charge haha

You hit it on the nose. They slowed it to avoid the whole exploding battery problems just to play it safe. Also why they didn't cram a bigger battery inside it to keep heat down.
They lost a lot of money because of that. The only thing that really saved them was that some iPhones were blowing up too

Bear in mind that the charging rate will default to 1050ma whenever the screen is turned on no matter what charging mode your using.
To use my method in cpufloat app, open the app n keep it floating on your screen. Turn of the screen for awhile ( lets say 5 seconds) and n turn the screen back on. You will have a split second to read the current before it updates to the 1050ma. ( you can slow the update rate in the app settings btw.
Accubattery will have 2 readings, charging rate when screen on, charging rate with screen off.

Yup, I noticed that, thanks!
Accbattery showed me a maximum of 1156ma obviously it was charging with the screen off. From there my test starts since this charge was done using a multi-usb charger and had something else charging and wasn't using the original cable. We will see
Thanks once again!

What other difference you want?
The charging issues on the Galaxy S8 seem to be widespread. I was hoping the most recent software update would help resolve these issues but it hasn't. Extremely slow charging (71% charged, 3 hrs 17 mins to 100%) and random connectivity (wireless charging paused) with Samsung's OEM wireless charger. What I've found with respect to the wireless issue, if I leave the phone on the charging pad after a few minutes it will eventually engage to a slow charge mode. Direct charging with the Samsung 2.0 Adaptive makes no difference, still a very slow charge. The normal Fast Charge Notification which should appear at the bottom of the display has never appeared and the tab remains grey in the Advanced Battery Settings even when enabled. Prior to purchasing the phone I had read and was advised by a Samsung tech the phone was suited to accept Qualcomm's 4+ Quick Charge. That seems unlikely at this point. Just got off a live chat with Samsung Support, not surprising the tech offered no solutions which I hadn't already experimented with. Booting up in Safe Mode to see if the app(s) were the problem, clearing system cache, app cache, using a variety of adaptives and cables, updating software, checking the C jack for connectivity. The S7 Edge I had previous to the S8+ was a great phone, no problems whatsoever. I honestly feel that Samsung is dragging their feet and haven't yet gotten their hands around these issues. Seriously, do they really want to experience another wide ranging battery concern? I think not. I can get a refund or replace the S8+ (SM-G955FD) but I'm wondering if the problems may be so widespread it could easily be an issue with the replacement phone. From the research I've done these issues are popping up on all models, regardless of the manufactures location.
Guys I need some help pls.
I ordered new battery, yesterday I opened phone carefully and replaced old battery, all went smooth.
But when try to switch on phone doesnt start. When connecting to psu it starts normally, battery shows 100% and not charging. If remove cable phone turns off instantly.
I wiped cache, dalvik, batterystats, no luck. Tried different psu, the same
I put old battery back and phone turns on and works ok, same as before.
Is possible that new battery coud be completely dead?
The new battery printed manufactured date is older than my current battery. 06-2015 vs 12-2015.
Is there anything else I should try , beside rma?
Thank you

Yes, there's a battery thread, where good replacements are linked. A 3 year old battery isn't a good replacement. Give it back to the seller. And did you try to put your "new battery" a second time in your phone, may you just didn't connect the cable correctly at first try. ???

Do search for " Cameron sino" for nexus 6p on either eBay or Amazon and buy that battery. I got mine for 25.00 . My phone charges to 100%, discharges slowly and doesn't shut off anymore at less than 20% battery like it did before. Accubattery app on playstore shows my battery health at 97% now ,the stock one was at 67% health. It does take a couple of full charges and full discharges to manage that health readout. Cameron sino seems to be the best one I've had so far. Just make sure you charge it to 100 and use it till it shuts off the first few times and profit. Trains the battery to fully charge and discharge . People make the mistake of charging when it isn't dead and that slowly suck the life out of your new batteries.

This might be true for nickel cadmium and nickel-metal hydride batteries , but it doesn't apply to lithium ion batteries. If anything, it's better to charge the battery when it still has ~20% left and stop charging around 80%. Lithium ion batteries don't like being too discharged or too charged as it causes them to wear out faster.

After quickly destroying the battery in my Galaxy Nexus I decided to research ways to prolong the life of the battery in my smartphone, especially since the phone I replaced it with (Nexus 6) didn't have a removable battery. So far they've worked great. Several tips I have are:
1. Plug in when you get to ~20-25%. If you want to be super extreme you can use an app like Battery Charge Limit to stop charging at 80%. Like I said earlier, discharging/charging too far is bad for the battery.
2. Don't use fast charging. This heats up the battery and wears it out faster. I've used the 1 amp charger from my Galaxy Nexus on my Nexus 6 and 6P and it has definitely helped prolong the life of the battery.
3. Don't use the phone while charging. This causes it to heat up and wears out the battery faster. Light things like texting or browsing XDA with their app won't heat it up too much, but gaming or installing ROMs while plugged in is very bad.
4. Don't charge the phone overnight while it's on. Obviously after the phone reaches full capacity it stops charging, but if your phone is on and running stuff in the background the battery will drain. When it drops to 98% it starts to trickle charge again until it reaches full capacity. This cycle of charging and draining will occur several times throughout the night and adds unnecessary wear cycles to the battery. It's best to charge while the phone is off to avoid this cycle.
5. Don't let the battery get too hot or too cold. Low temperatures can be just as harmful to batteries as high temperatures. If it's 100°F or 0°F outside and your battery is getting very hot or very cold it's best to just leave the phone in your pocket until you're in a place with a more reasonable temperature, such as inside a building or something. Lithium ion batteries prefer a happy medium, which is usually around room temperature (~68°F).
6. Keep the phone cool while doing CPU intensive tasks that cause it to heat up. When I install a ROM and boot it for the first time, wipe cache/dalvik after installing something, run the auto patcher in WakeBlock, or anything else that causes the CPU to run at a high frequency for prolonged periods of time I remove my phone from its case and place it in front of a fan on high speed. This keeps it from getting too hot, but doesn't let it get too cold. Placing your phone in the fridge/freezer will also keep it cool, but lets the battery get too cold, so that method is not recommend.
7. I use an app like EX Kernel Manager to display the battery/CPU temperatures in the notification area. If I notice the temperatures are getting too high or too low I stop using the phone until it cools down or I'm somewhere warmer. This can be annoying on Oreo because you get notifications of apps running in the background, but that's pretty easy to block
Keeping the phone cool can also help avoid the defect in the Snapdragon 810 that causes the BLOD (boot loop of death), which usually occurs when the solder holding the processor to the mother board develops cracks.
Based on posts I've seen in this forum most people begin to experience battery or boot loop issues after about a year or so. I've had my 6P for about a year and have not had any battery, heat, or boot loop issues. In my experience, taking care of your phone and being "extra nice" to it is the key to prolonging its life. After 2 years of using my Nexus 6, battery life on the day I sold it was just as good as day I unboxed it. I don't want to jinx myself, but the same goes for my 6P. After almost a year of use I can still go 16+ hours off the charger with 4+ hours of SOT and 30% or more left in the battery when I plug it in at night.
I'm gonna try this

Definitely going to try these methods on my brand new Nexus 6p. Thanks for posting that. Very helpful.
So I had this 910C for a while. Still love this phone but recently the stand by time kept decreasing. This was my second battery but I used fast charging, so I thought what the heck, I will just buy a new one.
Well I did, and the stand by time is just as bad. Almost half my battery is gone by the morning, and the battery barely wants to charge as well. (it's like the phone is cold and the charger is also just lukewarm.)
So what the heck?
Is there a known hardware defect on the Note 4 for this?
Even if I could replace the phone (but why when it works great otherwise), I would still like to keep it around as a secondary device.
Any ideas?
Ps.: Now when I was writing this, my phone also got quite hot but the AUKEY portable charger is cold. My percentage was 16-17 and it could not go higher.
Well, after long hours of charge the new battery does show 100%, but when I make a call the phone gets extremely hot. Like it burns my face.
This morning I watched like 5 minutes of Netflix and that ate ~20% of my battery.
The battery does not get hot, is not bulked up, it's very hot around the main chip...
Using latest Samsung OS btw, don't even have root installed atm.
