Hello everyone. I just want to start off saying that this is NOT a question about USB charging. I know about the trickle charge/lack of voltage stipulations. This is about the factory A/C adapter and USB cord I got with my transformer.
About 80% of the time I plug in my tablet to the A/C adapter, literally nothing happens. The screen doesn't turn on while in sleep mode like normal, the battery in the bottom corner doesn't change to a little lightning bolt, and most disturbingly, my tablet will not charge. The weirdest part is that it connects to the computer through USB no problem. I can move files and such, but no charging. Any ideas?
the charger construction is marginal at best and may need to be wiggled to get a good connection. also the usb connector an be plugged into the charger incorrectly. remember the usb connectot on the supplied cord does not comply s
with the usb spec. Also chev
ch the country ac side adapter ther are also unreliable
My cable went screwy and now it only trickle charges, regardless of what it's plugged into. I've got an RMA for it, but since I have to send them the cable to get a replacement, I'll have a paperweight for a few days at least.
Are you sure yours isn't trickle charging? There wouldn't be a lightning bolt, but I does charge.....very slowly.
Unplug the AC adapter from the wall for about 20 minutes. Plug it back in. Plug in TF.
Charging now?
unplugging it for a while seems to work better than anything. I'm pretty sure there isn't any trickling going on.
You can also try using the charger for your phone if the plug is a USB type. There have been a lot of problems with these charges documented in other threads.
Unplugging it definitely isn't a solution for me. When it first started happening I could do that and after a little while it would start working properly again, but now, it has charged at normal rates in about 3 weeks. I'm going to send it in with the RMA, but I have no idea what the turn-around time is. I'm going to be without any way to charge for that time, which pisses me off just a little bit.
Recently my OP2 doesn't seem to charge properly. Meaning...with the USB cord connected to the base it charges for a min then stops. The light stays on as if it's charging but it's not. I have to unplug it and plus it back in and it's fine for a few min then it stops and I have to do it again. This just started happening. I haven't dropped it or anything. The charge port is fine. Anybody else have this problem or HAD this problem...any info would help...
I have this exact same problem with my less than a week old OPT. I think its the charging cable gone bad. Using Ampere to check the charging current, I find that it never goes over 200ma and after about a minute (or lesser) disconnects because the software cuts it off when the current is too low. For now, charging with the phone turned off works, since no software to cut off the charger, but I do not know if this is bad for the battery. I am trying to find another Type C cable now, see if I can confirm this. Will post back if I do.
UPDATE: Was the cable. Friend's xiaomi cable worked perfectly and charged my phone back to 100% while I had dinner. Amazon is giving me a free replacement, so not complaing too much ...
fast charge suddenly stopped working
i noticed that the cable have one (golden) pin missing out of 5...
i tried other cable still the same
and it says (Cable Charging) and from 10% it need 5 hours to fully charge!
any way my friend came with an s6 and he tried my charger
it fast charge his phone with any cable
whats wrong and what to do
thanks
My fastcharging was really unreliable. I bought a new cable and it works everytime now.
The stock Samsung cable is really bad. Get another cable and it will work. This happened to me at least. Changed the cable now Fast Charge works all the time.
Like mentioned in the title, my fast wireless charging works, and when I put my phone on the pad it tells me it is fast wireless charging. However, whenever I try to use the cable directly and not wireless charging, it becomes cable charging which is incredibly slow (8-10 hours for 50%).
I have obviously checked all the simple steps. I'm using the adaptive charger, I'm using a good cable, fast charging is turned on in settings. I even tried factory reseting my phone but still no luck.
Is it possible that my charging port is loose? And if so is there any way to fix this?
The other possibility I'm thinking of is that my Europe to America convertor might be bad (I have the international version so I have to use the plug convertor) I recently lost the one that came in the box so I had to buy a new one off amazon. Are there such good things as good and bad convertors or are they all the same. And if it is the convertor, why would the wireless charging work but the cable charging not.
EDIT: I just checked plugging in an S6 to the cable and it says fast charging. Does that mean it is definitely the port on my phone?

May sound odd but have you tried unplugging and replugging the charger in over and over to see if one of those times it pops up as fast charging?
i had this problem with my Note 5 (im in the UK and note 5 was not released here so i had to buy a Russian variant and they sent with 2pin to 3pin adapter)
I don't think i ever had a fix for this other than using a different fast charger without the adapter..
However like you The official note 5 charger with adapter does work to charge my s7e fine though
so our problems seem pretty similar... Maybe buy a new fast charger that doesn't require an adapter and try that?
Hello,
i'm new here and i'd be glad if someone can help me. So i got my phone a month ago and i noticed that while its charging (with the original charger) and while using it in the same time it almost does not charge at all, still when it's not used it does actually fast charge. As a previous samsung user, i never had this issue with samsung phones (they always fast charged even on heavy use).
That's one problem, the second one is scrolling isn't smooth. Yet my internet speed is 1GB at home although i don't see it related, overall scrolling let's say for example Facebook, snapchat, browser, it gets slow at few times and it ain't smooth like i expected it to be.
My device isn't even rooted so i haven't messed with it anyhow, running usual diagnostics and clearing apps regularly, downloaded just few social media apps so no heavy games on the phone but still i can't figure out if it's just my phone or is it the lg g6 like that.
thank you
1st i wanted to mention maybe the problem is your outlet in house but, yes G6 is charging slower when you use it on your charger.. And when it comes to fast charging to mine it tooks 1h and 40min from 0-100% bit slower than competiton models, but again fast enough.
When it comes on smoothness i am on V10T EU update and the phone has no laggs at all. It did had on past versions. But with this V10T i hadn't had any smoothness issue.. It really is great, and for playing with the phone while charging i wouldn't recommend that. It can really take effect on your battery.

The scrolling lag sounds like there might be something making the phone work hard. Heavy usage would also make it charge more slowly than expected, because some of that power is going to operate the phone rather than into the battery. BUT I don't think it would prevent the "fast charging" text on the display.
It is remarkable how badly-behaved apps can be - I'd remove/disable your apps one at a time and see if one of them is responsible.
Try a fully compliant aftermarket quick charge 3.0 charger, it should charge much faster. Unlike a QC 3.0 charger, the charger bundled with the phone does not include 12V charging mode, so it's not allowing the phone to charge as fast as the phone can handle (the phone is fully quick charge 3.0 compliant and can charge faster than the bundled charger is capable of doing).

Yup, that's true. BUT I have s7 and g6 and both are slowly charging when I'm using them, phone would get too hot if it would fast charge while using it
I appreciate all your replies guys. Thank you.
Although i noted i dont have any heavy apps or heavy usage, the scrolling lag seems like a lag to me because i got used to faster phones before. Or maybe it is the original cable i need to change as you guys said. Anyway thanks again
I also encountered slow charging problems, but it seemed to be the cable, in some position it worked and in some it did not. I've bought an one plus dash cable for about 10 $, red one, and no problems since then. The cable is more thicker and robust, I highly recommend it.
Hi, I've got this problem: sometimes when I plug my G6 to the charger, a popup message comes out saying:
Charging slowly
Try the following if charging is slow:
- make sure to completely remove any water or debris from the USB ports.
- reconnect both ends of the cable.
- use the charger and cable that came with the phone.
Sometimes, instead, the phone starts charging normally with fast charging. If that popup comes out and I try to unplug and plug USB cable a couple of times, the phone starts charging again with fast charge.
Sometimes, when the phone is already charging with fast charge, suddenly the phone stops charging for a couple of seconds and starts again (I notice it because of the popup sound that comes if you plug the phone to USB)
I even tried to clean USB port, swapped the original USB cable with Anker cable but still using the original LG charger.
Of course there is no water in the port, otherwise a moist detector message would appear.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Can I solve buying a new charger? I'm afraid USB port might be broken

When was the last time you factory reset your device

I did it recently after I upgraded to Oreo but this was happening even before I did reset the phone.

Yeah i found that funny that LG lied and tried to get by on using the chargers from the failed lg G5 shipped with the G6. They only support 2.0 charging so just use the cord and use another 3.0 block or get a portable 3.0 power pack. They are 20 bucks on amazon. Good ones too.

can this be a good charger?
I bought an used G6 without charger but I have a Pixel charger model GL0102 and when I plug the phone I cant see the fast charging notification on the screen. It only say charging.
