Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 ( SM-A510FD ) Charging Issue - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hi geeks. Im using Samsung A5 2016 phone. Now, my phone takes 6 or 7 hours for a complete charge. My phone is capable of Fast charging. Its not there too. In spite of Fast Charging, my phone should have normal charging capabilities right? But No. My phone charges as if i have connected to a laptop/PC. TOOOO Slow. There is problem with battery discharge. Only charging matters. I tried different cables, different adapters, official adapters/cables... Nothing worked. When i go to Battery in settings, its showing "USB Charger connected". But im connected to Wall charger, not a PC/lap. I think its a software issue, i don't know. Please help me guys.

Have you tried to factory reset the phone?

Also, you should try using another chager. Maybe your charger / cable has gotten faulty and doesn`t output he right voltage. Also, use your charger with another phone with the same model as yours. If it works on another phone, either your charging port has issues, or you have software problems.

note 3 battery not charge

My note 3 is not more charging the battery, appears the icon that is loading, however the load does not rise to% already tested the battery, everything OK with the battery, usb not working on pc, I have done hard reset, but did not work, the authorized samsung, said that is the logic board, said it discharges faster than it can carry, but I believe that not to be so because if it were that he would at least recognize the pC, and the note 3 off also do not charge the battery
If you know better than Samsung .
Its the battery .replace
Its the charger .replace
Its the cable .replace
Its the USB port .
Its the firmware .flash stock firmware via odin .
probably it's a hardware problem

S7 EDGE Charging Issue AT&T NOUGAT 7.0

Has anyone had any issues with charging their Galaxy S7 with the new update? When I plug mine in it freaks out and says it's charging, not charging then charging again. It eventually stops. But seems to be a bug. Wasn't an issue before the update. I've tried other chargers and tried different outlets.
No issue on my side

I must say that the fast charging does take longer then on MM
No issues here either
Yesterday mine was 'fast charging' & I could watch it draining. Cord & fast wireless both. Different cables & chargers.
I cleared the cache & it has been fine ever since.
Might give that a try.

I have same issue on mine since OTA update last night mine is fine if i put it on the wireless charging pad.
Is this the official 7.0 release or the vzw flash
I used the official OTA release on 3 network UK
I have the same exact issue. It seems to be isolated to fast charging. When I have fast charging disabled or charge through a computer, the phone charges fine. I was able to get fast charging to work with the original white charger my phone came with. I have secondary black chargers that are the exact same model as the white charger that don't work. Really weird. Trying to avoid a factory reset but it may come down to that...
Update: I found that disabling fast charge fixes the intermittent charging issue. I'd rather have my phone charge slowly than not at all, I guess. Hopefully a patch comes out soon that fixes the issue.

Quick charge no longer working since nougat?

So I have a couple of generic QC2.0 car chargers in my car and wife's car.. I've had them a year or so? They work fine on my note 4, and they did work on my my S7E while on MM.... I've noticed since the N7.0 upgrade they are no longer "quick charging"? The option is set on my phone, and it does quick quick at home with the wall wart but not in the car anymore?
Anyone else notice this since the nougat update?
I had this happen in my car after the last mm update... cleared cache, hard reboot, and pulled the charger out and put it back in. One of those fixed it. Probably the cache/ reboot

I'll try to report back, I tried the root method available for nougat and thru all the tinkering I fubar the phone. So I had (wanted) to wipe, factory reset and did a completely fresh clean install of N 7.0 nougat. So fingers crossed.
Well, I did a complete factory reset and fresh install of Android 7.0 Nougat, but my car charger is still no longer quick charging my S7E on N. I don't know the make and model of the car charger I have with qc2.0, it's not a Samsung branded one.... I wonder if android 7.0 changed something on how it recognizes the qc2.0 chargers? The house (samsung branded) still work but the car ones do not.

I would be suspicious of the cable more than the charger itself. I've had multiple 3rd party cables that (for lack of a better term) seem to have got "fried" and would only allow standard charge speeds. Switching cables resulted in fast charge working again. Your phone itself detects the current as soon as you connect the cable, and if it isn't able to draw what it needs to fast charge - even from a QC charger - it won't.
FWIW - none of my QC chargers are branded. They're all Anker or Aukey.

That's a good point, I'm using the cable that came with the charger... its a good solid cable, but you know that goes I will try another cable - that's a good idea. I'll report back when I do. Thanks for that suggestion.
I had problems with fast charging not working until a reboot or leave it unplug for a few minutes then plug it back in then it works flawlessly

Since the new update mine and my partners s7 won't fast charge, we both have official samsung chargers, we've even tried family members chargers and still the same, I've been in touch with samsung and they just told me to factory reset the phones which I did and still doesn't work, hope it gets fixed soon!!
Absolutely check the CABLE as the culprit. I have an old 6ft Belkin micro usb 2.0 cable that only fastcharges half of the time I use it on my Aukey QC2.0 adapters. I suppose a few factors could be in play here: oxidation buildup on the terminals, worn wiring insulation due to heat and/or bends. Maybe I'm drunk. Lol
Forgot to update. I've tried a few cables none allow quick charging on the car adapter. They do charge at 2.0amp and those same cables will charge quick charge in the house.... So, either my car adapter has suddenly stopped doing quick charge or something mysterious has happened to my specific S7E.
I'll have to try with my note 4 in the car and see what happens.

Mines dont quick charge either. Now how the heck do 100k a year coders miss this? They had to knew
Was gonna start a thread about this issue a couple days ago. Been having issues with fast charging ever since the update. I would connect the charger, it would say fast charging but revert to normal charging. Sometimes it would say fast charging for the duration but be slow as balls.
I found that shutting my phone down and charging it that way does a fast charge fine however.
I wonder what changed? At least in my case, I have 2 QC2.0 car chargers, from different vendors... one is from ebay the other I bought at Fry's electronics - and neither will quick charge now. I guess whatever handshake happens to enable quickquick isnt present since the nougat upgrade oh well... I am glad to see others are having the same or similar issues - at least I'm not crazy.
Mine still fast charges on my qc2.0 vehicle charger after nougat. *shrug* ill post a link to the one I'm using in just a sec...

wireless fast charging not working.
Since the security update my wireless fast charging does not work on my samsung wireless charger. if i unplug it and plug directly into phone it fast charges fine. anyone else having that same issue? fast charge works fine with car and battery backpack fast charger too.

fast charging works with my car charger and at home I use the factory charging brick and cable which also works fine. I also use a wireless Samsung fast charger but I haven't checked it works on that being I only set my phone on there before I go to bed.
I had issues with Quick Charge right after Nougat update, Just got my SM-G935T from T-Mobile last Friday.
To fix it I had to clear the cache and disable and reenable quick charge under system battery advanced options. and everything started working fine again.
I also had issues with wireless charging on a stock Samsung "Fast Charger" and ended up having to replace the usb cable from the power adapter to the samsung wireless 'fast charger' it seems after the Note 7 issues, samsung put some quality control software in the nougat updates for the S7 and S7 Edge, and if there is anything slightly off things won't work because of the new samsung QC steps.

Go to Settings (COGWHEEL ON NOTIFICATION BAR)
Then Select "DEVICE MAINTENANCE"
Then SELECT "Battery" bottom left
Then go to "Advanced Settings" using the drop down menu at the top left (... vertically)
Toggle "Fast cable charging" turn it off reboot phone then turn it back on.
You can also just type "Battery" in the settings search then go to "Advanced Settings" that way.
wiping cache, disabling, reboot and enable didn't work on mine. Seems its doing it no matter how or where im charging it now. it says fast charging but it's not if you look at the amount of time its taking (approx 20 mins per 10%)

Turbo 2 not charging via cable

Turbo 2 isnt charging via any cable anymore. It might connect for a minute but then stops charging even though the charging icon has the bolt.
It does charge via wireless charging but its very slow.
I know that this is a problem with this device and have tried searching but haven't seen a solution. So it seems to be a hardware issue with the port or connection to the battery.
The cable may be off. Qualcomm's system is very dependent on good connections at the USB 2.0 edge, along with good cabling. It's very touchy about that even if it's functioning right. This is even with their wall-wart.
If no cable coupled with a properly licensed Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0 or 3.0 power device (Wall-wart, battery brick, or Car charger...) has it going into anything other than USB charging and an old-school fast-charger won't put it into at least AC mode, you've got a defective Charge Controller- which equates to needing a replacement. Lenovo's been...coy...about the whole thing with a HUGE thread over on their forums over the whole affair. You'll need to have something resembling a warranty (which includes the "insurance" on the phone that Verizon offers...) and explicitly show them the fail with several devices. Going into AC charge mode doesn't count. If it's the wall-wart or any QuickCharge device, it needs to go into Turbo mode with 60% or less charge. It can go into Turbo mode with more charge in hand, but it's not required by the spec for anything more than the 60%.
If it doesn't go into Turbo mode at all or show AC with a QuickCharge device of ANY kind, they have to own that the thing's broken/defective and work with you at that point.

Between this (on my second phone, exchanged just within Warranty) and the fact that they won't allow any unlocking of this phone, I'm quite a bit less than happy with Lenovo right now.
I took my Turbo 2 with this issue to Verizon and they replaced it with a Moto Z Force Droid for free. Granted it was a refurbished one, but I welcomed the upgrade. You should probably talk to your local Verizon store, not just a Verizon authorized dealer.

Moto G4 Plus Battery not charging or charging very slowly.

Please specify whether it's charging or not. If it's charging slowly, there are several threads/posts about that. Just do some research. If it's definitely not charging it can be a hardware fault(charger, cable, port, battery...)
Battery only get charged in Ap fastboot
Hi,
My moto g4 plus discharge when connected to any charger including the original charger and only recharges in ap fastboot mode that too very slow and sometimes doesn't recharge at all but when it start getting charged it take around a whole day to get charged upto 100%.The original charger seems ok as it recharges other mobiles.
I have also hardbriked my hand set while trying to find a solution. Thanks to @siddhesh9146 [GUIDE] Moto G4 Plus HardBrick SOLVED - ULTIMATE UNBRICKING GUIDE. But My battery problem remains the same.
