Anyone else notice that the OP6T is only charging at no more than 3.2a?
I know there is supposed to be a little wiggle room for the charger to not over heat, but that seems like a big gap for the 4a OnePlus boasts about.
Any thoughts?
Update: it takes 1hr 20min to charge 0-100%

Hi guys,
I have really huge problem! When i connect my htc tytn to charger ( wall charger or usb, same thing) it drains battery ! There is orange light like it is charging, but it goes from 100% to 0 in an hour! Battery works fine... 2 - 3 days... and because i can't charge it over usb, i am using nokia charger, cut the wires, took battery out and connect + to +, - to - and that's how i charge it for the last few days! Does anyone has any idea why is this happening? I have wm 6.1 pays rom i think it is 3.05
Fire Hazard
i warn angst doing this as this could over charge the battery and when a Lithium Iron or Polymer is over charged they burst into flames or explode and spread nasty toxic chemicals every where. if this be the case it may be time to try a new rom and see if that fixes your problem, try someone elce's charger if this wont fix your problem it may bet time for a new mainboard as these have the charging circuit built in
lithium rechargeable are compact high energy storages devices, and if not charged properly become dangerous
I had charging issues with my 8125 - it would charge with the charger, but when I unplugged the charger (it would read 100%, say I charged from 52% to 100% or something), it would drop really low to like 25% or 23% - sometimes it dropped all the way, and I could no longer get the battery to charge because my travel charger was 500mA and the original charger was 1A - it didn't have enough power.
I had to give it a boost by using a 9V battery and twist ties - touching the battery like you are doing here. I did it for 15 seconds a couple times, popped it in, and it had enough juice to start charging. However, I wouldn't want to do this too long on it as the battery got warm pretty quick and I saw a glimpse of smoke at one point.
After being cautious and not letting it lose charge all the way again, after a few charges it seems to have improved. It no longer drops battery power when unplugging and seems to work as it should.
Not sure if yours drops when you unplug it like mine was, or if it steadily drains while plugged in. Anyways, I thought my charger was just wacked, but it is working fine now after a few charges and being careful and keeping a close eye on things....I also thought it was the battery, but I ordered a new OEM battery, popped it in, and when I unplugged the charger that battery dropped and lost power as well. Now I have two batteries and both seem to work ok, but I did have to play around with them a lot and it did take a few charges before they started working like they should again. I'm not sure what was going on, because it couldn't have been the battery (I replaced it with a new one), and now the charger is acting properly.
Granted, this is all with an 8125 which is older, but there may be something in common here. All I know is it does seem to be fixed and it didn't require any additional purchases or replacements.
sounds like the charging circuits are wacked, this could be caused by dry joints on the charger "smart" chip, but a little heads up with Li-Ion, they don't like gettin wet, (sweat included) once they have been wet they become a fire hazard, (ultramag69 help me out here, remember that one you gave me that was full of mud?!?).
they also don't like going below their threshold voltage of 2.1v per cell, (i think 2.1 for now) after that the battery becomes a resistor and is not worth trying to shock back into life with a 9V battery, as these have a protection circuit built in, as well once in this state they become another fire hazard, it may be worth buying a cheap $30 butane soldering iron with surface mount attachment and just going over some of the areas located round and on the opposite side of the battery, every thing under the silver covers is RF shielded and not worth trying to reflow.
just don't keep the heat on too long, as you may and will desolder components on the opposite side of the board.
other than that if the charger is giving +5 volts respective to its ground, its fine, the difference between the 1A and 500mA chargers is the rate at which its charges the battery, slower is better for Li-Ion due to battery construction for the life span of the battery (if you get more than 6 months out of one your doing good by manufactures standards)
heck even try checking the phones USB connector, it may be stuffed or shorted
I picked up a wireless charger for my Nexus 4 from here gadgets4geeks.com.au/product/qi_wireless_charger
The problem is that the phone reaches 130 degrees fahrenheit (54 celsius) and stops charging (due to the overheat cutout) before the phone is fully charged.
Once it stops charging, it cools down a little, then starts charging again before it overheats again. This results in the battery level remaining around the same level. It is also annoying at night, as every time it starts charging, the screen turns on (unless I turn on a daydream).
I use a TPU case and it's summer here.
Anyone else have this problem? Any thoughts on how to keep it cool to achieve a full charge? I was thinking about raising the phone above the charger or something like that?
Thanks.
Here are some screenshots of it charging then stopping when it got too hot:

PS: Apologies, for the non links. I'm a new user and now allowed to post outside links.
In the word, no. Mine never gets much beyond 37°C using the LG charger, but it is Winter here and I never heat the house above 68°F.
Don't get me wrong, i love how fast this thing charges, but I'm worried about the long term effects this will have on the battery, especially since it's nonremovable. Anyone else having issues with this getting too hot on the turbo charger? I'm wondering if maybe i should use a different charger and see if it doesn't get as hot. He's a pic to prove how high the temp is.

I keep my Turbo charger handy, but use my old Moto X charger most of the time and only use the TC if I really need it. Heat is not supposed to be good for these batteries. It might not make a significant difference but the way I have chosen to do it can't hurt it, plus for me it is worth the itty bitty bit of peace of mind I get from doing it this way.
My 2013 Moto X has been sitting on my desk for the last 3 hours, not charging. I just checked GSAM and it says the battery is at 82*F. I just plugged it in to a Motorola wall charger (not USB, direct corded style, came with a dock for my Droid Razr Maxx, I think). I'll see what the temp looks like in a bit.
That temperature doesn't seem unusually high, though. My phone gets very warm when charging and using intensive apps, or even when not charging and using in the car with bluetooth, Pandora, and GPS going. The phone should shut itself off it it gets too hot.
I know there is a lot of concern over the heat that turbo chargers are generating, but I really have a hard time believing that Motorola would be shipping the turbo charger with the Droid Turbo and the Nexus 6 if it was bad for the battery. It's a brand new technology and there are a lot of unknown factors about it right now. Have a little faith in Motorola, and if something -was- to happen, you have a 1 year manufacturer warranty for that.
Edit: after about 25 minutes on charger, the temp got up to 90*F. This is an old charger, probably only 750mA (don't feel like digging under the desk to unplug and check it).
My turbo charger gets my phone pretty hot, same as my wireless charger. Never checked the temperatures but that sounds about right. I don't use the turbo charger unless I absolutely need to, but I keep it on me just in case. The wireless charger is more of a convenience thing to top it off. Overnight I'll still stick to my old RMHD's dual usb charger that came with it. No real rush to charge while I'm sleeping haha.
i was on latest RR rom cm. after charging my phone for 30min it was too hot and even i opened back case and battery removed then i inhaled it was some plastic burn like smell. though its working without an issue. im bit nervous why it happened and is this smell normal.
Not sure if the CM ROMs have fast charging?
If fast charging is enabled it will charge the battery much faster, but also cause it to heat up more. The smell is a side effect of heating up plastic.
I'm sure Samsung tested that it's all safe.
But it was bothering me also that it got that hot so I just disabled the Fast charging (Settings->Power Saving).
It takes a bit more time to charge - I'm usually not in a hurry to charge it, it will still charge in 3-4 hours max. But it will not get that hot and it might also be easier on the battery so it lasts longer before needing to be replaced.
A few weeks ago I noticed my phone wasn't charging at night. At first I assumed it was either my charger or charging cable as their both cheap ones from Amazon. But using my Anker battery pack or the stock charger setup didn't help. Then I noticed on nights it wasn't too cold, it would charge just fine. At night I like to sleep with my room being as cold as possible and here in north Texas it's been getting into the low teens. The phone not charging at night isn't a huge deal as I can just charge in the morning after the phone has been in my pocket for a while. I'm just wondering if anybody else has experienced something like this. I can't find any info on the S7 or S7 Edge, only the S6. And I'm not getting any notifications that say the battery temp is too low or anything like that, it just doesn't charge.
I'm pretty sure there isnt a battery temp too low warning lol. I only know these batteries likes to be charged when its warm cause it allows it to charge faster. Anyone want to put their phone in the freezer and try it?
galaxy S8 too cold won't charge
I am a 3rd party phone repair technician, I had two Galaxy S8+'s come in today with the same issue you described.
They won't turn on with the charger plugged in and if they are on they display a message about the battery being too cold and won't charge.
We have had the same issue on s6 and s7's that have been water damaged however cleaning the board with distilled water and ultrasound to blast minerals off fixes it.
The part that stumps me with the s8+ is both phones are not water damaged and have never been exposed to moisture...
A new battery does not fix the issue and the charge port and other components are immaculately clean.
If anyone has a solution for this issue that seems to effect the S6,7, and 8's I would be very interested.
