Hi guys!
Recently I updated my Galaxy S6 edge+ (G928C) to Nougat. Since the update installed I am facing two key charging issues that I am stating as under:
1. My phone battery doesn't reaches 100%
I have noticed that my phone is unable to reach 100% when its charging, it only only goes upto 98% or but fails to reach 100%. I have to replug the charger at 98% and then it goes to 100% that too slowly.
2. The phone now charges slowly
My phone was on Lollipop Android version and while fast charging it completed the charge cycle in approx. 1 hour and 15 minutes but now recently after updating it is taking extra 20 - 30 minutes more to charge completely (and that too if I replug the cable after 98% else it remains there). The fast charging option is even enabled in settings.
Is any one experiencing the same issues? I am worried if both of the issues affect battery life and I look forward to your suggestions and comments that might prove helpful.

Hi,
I have a really weird problem with my Nexus 4 for a few weeks now:
I connect it to a charger and it tells me it's charging, it even goes up to 100%, however, it doesn't actually charge. At some point a few minutes after disconnecting from the charger the battery percentage suddenly drops to a low value (somewhere around where I would expect it to be without charging).
As example what I mean here are some things that happened during the last few days:
One day I had it connected to my turned off PC (USB provides power anyways) and the next day it was turned off and when connected to a power socket charger it showed 0%.
Yesterday evening I plugged it in and after a few hours unplugged it because it showed 100%, this morning it then showed 30% (it's highly unlikely the battery drained this much doing nothing in 6 hours).
About one hour ago I rebooted it because it was only showing 13% (I "charged" it about 1 hour, before that it showed 10%) and after that it said the battery has 2% left.
However, sometimes it actually charges, but since I can't tell the difference between charging and fake charging it's starting to really piss me off.
The charger is not the problem, my Nexus 7 charges whenever it is connected to the charger and also it didn't work when connected to my PC either.
Is the firmware capable of interfering with the loading process (I have AOKP installed) or is the Nexus 4 simply damaged?
Any other idea what could be the cause of this problem?
EDIT: As previously said it says 2%, but it definitely isn't at 2% for real since it's like this for hours now. This sucks...

You can try to wipe batterystats.
So as the title indicates, for whatever reason the nexus 4 is discharging after reaching 100% on the wireless charger. Now, this would be fine if it continued charging after it drains to a certain battery percent, but sadly that is not the case. When I take my Nexus 4 off of my wireless charger in the morning, I see that it has been 'on battery' for 7+ hours, and the battery is usually between 70-80% which isn't enough for me.
If it helps, here is some information that may be useful:
-My nexus 4 is rooted on 4.2.1
-My wireless charger is called "MoKo Qi Wireless Charger 3-Coil Charging Pad"
-I've tried restarting my phone, but the issue persists
-The wireless charger works at full speed with no issue (apart from the charger turning off when the phone is at 100%, and only removing and putting the phone back on it will turn it on)
Now, I've seen some threads where people say their phone isn't at 100% when they take their phone off, but they mentioned that their phone starts charging when it discharges to a certain percent (say, 95% or something) but sadly mine does not.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in Advance!

Edit: If it helps with anything, the charger makes a faint 'ticking' sound every half a second ONLY when the phone has reached 100% and continues ticking until I remove the phone. The ticking sound persists even while the phone is draining overnight on the charger. I have also tried to test if letting the phone reach 100% then draining the battery while it is on the charger by leaving the screen on changes anything, but it seems it doesn't matter whether the phone is 'awake' or not.

I don't understand the problem. Are you reporting fast discharging of your phone after 100% has been reached? Or you are reporting that it doesn't start to charge again when the phone drops from 100% to 95% or whatever?
In the second case I suppose that your Charger works in this way, and nothing can be done.

It would be the latter, the phone doesn't start to charge again when the phone drops from 100% to like 80-90% overnight. And something CAN (and HAS) been done, I hooked it up to a $10 Woods Model 50001 Indoor 24 hour mechanical timer, and made it turn on/off every 30 minutes during the night/morning. It works perfectly now, my phone is always at 99-100% when I wake up since it doesn't idle for 7+ hours, maximum it ever idles is 30min.
I was just wondering if it was an issue with all chargers, or is it just an issue with my phone... I'll test it with my brother's nexus 5 some time and see if it still happens (without the mechanical timer).
Hi
I have some issues after I update to MM, battery draining and charging problems, my phone is charging too slow turned off even turned on after the update of security of june. The first day I left my phone on charge all night and only charge 82%(I think is the slow charging) and the second day never stops charging after reached 100%.
Someone have the same issue?
Thanks!
When my phone is charging it seems to randomly display charging rapidly, charging, or charging slowly. I'm running stock nougat and have tried the original charger and another PD charger with the same results. Is his a known issue or a phone problem?

It's possibly just how they charge.
Lithium ion batteries in phones don't generally charge at just one rate from 0-100%. Around 85-90% they slow down. And the last 5% or so may be the slowest.
That's probably what you see
Assuming you're seeing it switch to charging and then slow charging as it gets closer to 100% this sounds normal.
I thought that at first also, but it does it all the way through the charge.
Mine does this fairly often, and the battery percentage never matters. It happens equally as often at 40% as it does at 70% or anywhere in between. Additionally, mine will sometimes go onto the charger and just be stuck at "Charging slowly" and never change. Nothing's changed on the other end, either - it's plugged into the same port it's always plugged into. I seem to have better luck in getting it to charge rapidly when I plug it in with the display powered off, but that could be a bias I haven't eliminated. I have no actual statistical data to back it up.
I've opened a ticket with Essential Support, but haven't gotten a response beyond them asking a few questions and telling me they'd "look into it" (almost a month ago).
I will say that regardless of what the display actually says, the time it takes to charge fully seems to be fairly consistent (for the battery percentage it's at when I plug it in, obviously). But no, you aren't alone in seeing this behaviour. I'm on Oreo, too, not Nougat.
Mine does the same but still charge's from zero to 100 in expected time around 70/80 minutes,it tends to jump to slowly when nearly full .
Have to say battery life I'm getting is nothing short of astounding for a 3040mha battery

Thanks for the replies, I'll try timing it and seeing how long it takes.
same here with original wall plug and USB cable. Stock 7.1.1.
After reboot it stays on "Charging rapidly". until another day or so.
Oreo seems to fix it.
btw, seems that when I'm charging in Flight Mode it's always stuck at "Slowly Charging" , looking forward to test this on Oreo.

can anybody confirm that PH-1 is always stuck in Slowly Charging when in Flight Mode? (and if you are Android N or O). I'm wondering if it's my device or general issue.
btw here Essential support answer on that issue:
With the Essential phone the charging speed fluctuates and there are different factors that come in play, including the percentage of the battery at the time. It is to reduce the heat and to prolong the battery life of the device.
If your device is in airplane mode then all major processes including your cell network and GPS are off, therefore the drain on your battery is reduced that would otherwise need to be made up for by the quick charge.
The device should take about an hour an a half to fully charge, is it taking longer than that to fully charge?

My device in flight mode doesn't charge full in 1 hour.

Essential is saying 1.5 hours... that is about what it takes for me.
Rooted H910, running de-bloated stock image
Last week, while reading news sites in a lobby, my phone got extremely hot. Also, battery percentage dropped like a rock - like from 70% to 35% in less than 10 minutes.
I shut the phone down, pulled the battery, and allowed to cool.
On reboot, I went through the Apps list, and Force Stopped everything - even disabling Chrome.
When plugged into my travel charger (QC 3.0), the phone reported that it was "charging slowly - use the charger and cable provided with the phone".
Charge rate was agonizingly slow. May 2% in 10 minutes.
Later, I tried the QC 3.0 in my vehicle, and still later I tried the other QC chargers and Fast chargers I have at my house.
In all cases, it reported it was charging slowly.
It was, however, still charging - albeit very slowly.
I dug out my factory LG charger and cable. Same result.
In fact with the phone off, it reports the factory charger and cable are incompatible with the phone.
[see image 1]
I swapped my battery to another LG V20 phone. The battery charged normally in the other phone.
My phone still charged slowly with the other battery.
Over the weekend, I tried Clearing Cache / Dalvic.
On reboot from that, it would no longer charge. It still reported charging slowly, but battery percent would drop while plugged in.
Per this thread, I tried Doing Port / Battery / Charge Tests.
[see images 2 & 3]
No improvement. Battery level still declines while plugged in.
If I start with a fully charged battery, battery usage appears normal.
Anything other suggestions to try before calling LG?
