Hi all,
I just picked up a generic wireless charger and a Cheotech charging pad and having a weird problem. The phone refuses to charge past 70% on the wireless charger. It does charge to 100% plugged in.
I'm using the latest 6.01 stock Samsung rom. I want to think this is a software thing as it refuses to go past 70% on or off. I have tried clearing the cache but nothing. Any possible easy fixes?

Hello;
So far I am really enjoying the Nexus 7, except for charging issues. I can only charge it via usb from my Chromebook, when I plug it into the Asus charger or my Nexus S charger, nothing happens; my Nexus S will charge using either charger. I have tried doing a factory reset several times and the problem still exists. Also, I haven'f flashed it and currently I only have Google Apps loaded on it, the latest official Android update (4.1.2) has been done.
Suggestions?
Thanks
Sheldon
If I use the charger and cable that came with the N7, everything works as it should. I tried an alternate charger/cable one time and It didn't show it was charging and didn't show the charge % increasing. But I left it plugged in a couple of hours and when I unplugged it, it updated the battery % and it had gained charge. I think it can be a reporting issue as opposed to a failure to charge. There is something different about the N7 charger or cable that makes other charger/cable combinations report differently.
Last night I charged my phone with the standard charging cable and the phone said it was charging. This morning I woke up and it had not charged at all. It still says it is charging but no power is going to the device. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Thanks!
Edit: Wireless charging is also not working.
I would try to charge the phone with another micro-usb cable without changing the stock 1.8Amps charger. It's very common for those cables to get damaged after some time of usage and not deliver enough current for the phone to charge.
That did not seem to do anything. The fact that wireless charging also isn't working has me worried.
I've seen the problem where a charger keeps saying charging has paused but this is not my issue.
I'm on my 2nd s8, the first one worked fine with my charger, the 2nd one worked fine from the start as well until one morning I woke up to a 40% charge. I thought maybe it was a fluke but the next morning it was the same. I let it charge again last night on the wireless charger and it was only at 20%.
Tonight I tried leaving it on the charger and the phone is just getting warm and isn't charging.
My charger is a Samsung charger, it's this one: Samsung Wireless Charging Pad with 2A Wall Charger w/ Warranty - Frustration Free Packaging, Black Sapphire https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BHEIIR4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_2F.azbF2T2S45
Anyone else having a problem like this or have any idea what is going on?
Edit: I think I found the problem. I had fast cable charging enabled. I don't know why this affects slow wireless charging but it does. This morning I woke up to a 100% charge after leaving the phone on the wireless charger last night with fast cable charging disabled.
Facing a new problem since last update.
May 2017 India update
Fast charge does not work.
No charger or cable is able to charge the phone.
The only way I can get it to charge is if I
1. Turn off fast charge
2. Use a charger with a maximum power output off 500 mili amps
Any other option I try it wont charge.
Tried a new bat.
Tried a New charging port on the phone.
Did a factory re-set
Drained to zero and charged to 100% with phone off.
USB Doctor shows a short and turns off the Samsung charger .
Anybody else run into this problem ?
So my sister just bought this phone recently (The 3/32 Model) and she Immedietly got an update and so she updates the phone, she then plays it for a while and then charges the phone, but weirdly enough it's always saying "charging slowly" in the lockscreen, doesn't the stock charger suppose to charge the phone rapidly? I really don't get this. The phone was charging really slow and the weirder thing is I used my Lenovo P2's charger which has the same configurations as the stock charger (I think) and it did charge faster than the stock one. I've done things such as closing the recent apps, putting it on airplane mode, turning it off, but it still charges slowly
Is it the stock charger that doesn't charge the phone rapidly?
Or is it because the update?
I really don't understand
Any help would be appreciated
It is the update problem, I am also facing the slow charging issue.
Lenovo p2 is 24 watt charger , Zenfone is 10 watt charger .... It take 3 hours for my phone to charge with stock charger
SOLVED
I tried to close the recent apps and turn on the airplane mode and it's now charging rapidly after about a minute, thank god.
I think I had this problem before because of where I plug in my charger to a wrong socket.
Im still having the charging slowly problem.
Change the charging/data cable. I had the same problem.. I tried optimizing apps, aeroplane mode and switched off phone while charging phone but nothing worked. It took around 6 hrs to fully charge my asus Max pro m1. And then one of my friend suggested me to change the charging cable. I bought a new cable n it solved my phone's charging problem. Now my phone charges rapidly even when I'm playing game while using LTE mode. so guys try different charging cable with the original charger.
And if u want better battery backup.. do not charge your phone 100%. If you fully charge your phone.. battery will drain faster.
