Slow charging, hardware or software problem ? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys !
I have a problem with my Galaxy S4 i9505, the charging is very very slow, like if I was charging throught USB then I'm charging with the right AC adapter. It tooks around 6 hours to charge 0 up to 100%.
I buy a new charger : no changes , I replace my battery with a new one : no changes. I flash a new custom rom (Lineage OS 15) : no changes ...
So I think it's a probably a kernel issue but I don't know what kernel choose
Thank you in advance for your answers

6 hours means you're getting under 450 mAh.
Probably your phone thinks it's on usb charging mode (connected to computer USB) rather than AC.
Replace cable.
If that doesn't work replace usb port.

Thank you for your answer, i replace cable by a new one but there aren't changes. Are you sure it's not a kernel problem ? If my USB port was't working properly I think my phone wouldn't charge at all, no ?

I really dont think it is kernel.
Although it does not do proper "fastcharge", the official lineage 15 kernel should still get you around 1200-1400 mAh which gives just over 2hr for a full charge.
Your USB port is not connecting the pin which determines usb or ac charging, which is either cable or port.
If the cable to phone connection is loose then likely it's the hardware problem I mention.

usb cable broken?

The original cable that came with device seems to be half functioning:
- slow charge (USB mode? ) 5h+
- kies doesn't recognize device
phones seems ok with other cables ...
Could someone confirm the pin layout of the original usb cable? looks like the 2 pin is missing from cable, see attachment

No your Cable is not Broken see my cable ....
when you charge your phone with your pc its normal 5h to full charge....
install the newest driver to your pc and the phone will find kies

ok well maybe the pin's are ok, but cable is still broken:
even with wall charger it takes 5h to charge with original cable, but 1.5h with other cable
also KIES works fine with other cables, but not with original cable ...
guess I need to chuck it into the bin

[Q] CyanogenMod kernel with fast charge ?

Hello,
is there any kernel for CM with fastcharge enabled ? I cant charge while HDMI is enabled.
Maybe there are some good guides to create my own kernel ? I mean something like " add a function to kernel for dummies"
thx for help...
Maybe the problem is bad cable or charger. Try another.
Also I think that almost every kernel can change voltage.

Ive tried original and ipad charger. With original and a different USB cable. Iam pretty sure the problem is that my Adapter recognized as usb interface as its support HDMI and flashdrive.
Without the hdmiadapter all works fine.
Edit: tried more cables. This time with a current Meter APP. Iam pretty impressed that every cable ive tested gave different currentresults. But regardless oft cable, if iam pluggging the hdmiadapter between charger and phone from 1a max 460ma left.
Edit2:
Ive found a cable which is charging with 1.8a and fits into the adapter, but the same here. The phone only charges with 460mA. Its the same current when plugging into a notebook for example. So iam pretty sure the Phone lowers the drain to protect the usbdevice.
So i think fastcharge is the onlyoption i have. Or someone knows how to change this without fastcharge.

note 4(n910v) not fast charging.( have tryed everything)

im using my phone and it runs out of battery, when i plug it in i notice it takes forever for it to turn on.
I later find out the phone was only usb charging ( which takes forever). i try everything...
replace battery, change charging cords/boxes and charging location
i also replaced the whole usb port which did nothing.
aswell as a full format i did a cache clear
... im kind of stuck and would love some assistance.
i was told that my baseband was outdated by samsung
but when i try to plug my phone into the computer to update it
through a software called odin , it does to register.
win 10 tells me the usb device has malfunctioned or etc...
UPDATE!!!!2017: ive replaced the usbport again,and did a full update of the base band
and i forgot to mention that the phone isant even connecting to the computer
so some help is much needed please and thank you

First thing Try another battery.
Flash clean stock official firmware via odin.
Use orignal charger and usb cable came with the phone.
Go to settings/battery and enable fast charging.

First, do you know that there are 2 types of USB ports?
There are 5 pins USB and 11 pins USB.
Our Note 4 is using 11 pins version
Did you replace the USB port with the correct one?
Second, the cable also have 2 version, 5 & 11 pins.
11 pins USB is necessary for the Fast Charging to work properly

no sadly i dont know the difference between 5/11 pin usb,
but i used original chargers from a retail store when i was trying different solutions.
also i did order a original veizon usb port from ebay(ive got sm-n910v). looked like the original , and i ordered 2 from separate vendors.
one of the products i ordered looked of lesser quality. I tryed both

[Help] USB not Recognized! and Phone Charging is very very slow.

I have been facing the issue of slow charging from 3 days now. It takes 9-10 hrs to charge completely. Interestingly I just plugged my phone to my PC and USB not recognized pops up every time. I tried changing USB Cables and Chargers , nothing helped. I think these two issues are closely related and some chip is blown up inside. Any idea if what could be causing this?
Use custom kernels
you find the solution ???? please help me if u can !!!
Same issue happened with me when actually Imy phone was bricked,I changed and used other usb cable,then I got solved my issue,then after 3 months,tht cable stopped to work only for my mobile (works in other mobiles still),so I have to keep changing cord n adaptor for fast charging,now iam currently using Moto turbo charging,n from 6 months it's working properly,n never use phone while charging
if pc says that the last usb you plugged is malfunction... than thats the problem with me also.. i guess phone usb port is damage some how... coz my phone also takes 5hrs to charge and pc plug say usb malfunction
You need to get your motherboard change if usb charging board is not seperate. i experienced the sam eissue on my zenfone 5, i did a thourough check, even bought its psu and relaced it. turns out its motherboard was buggy and a slight water drop on the cable mouth caused this issue. better get it replaced if its still in warranty else you will have to buy a new mobo.

I have same problem you have to change mobile usb charger connector i.e. charging port of mobile. then it will be solved.
Dude do these 3 :
1.check with another adaptor, along with ampere app make sure charging is 2A
2. Change the usb configuration, dont charge from pc it chaarges slow bcoz its DC
3. Change your rom, use custom ones or reflash whatever u r on.

Problem recognizing charging, headset, and PC connection

Hello boys! I have a very serious problem with my LE PRO 3. Since yesterday, the following is happening BUG: When I connect the charger, it does not load immediately. It only loads if I reboot the device. And if I take it out and put it back, it stops loading again. This also happens when I connect to the PC. The device only recognizes if I leave the cable connected and restart. With the headset the same thing. It only recognizes if I leave it connected and restart the device. I'm on the Cydrass Google edition ROM, and my device is the x720 version. I have already switched to other ROMs (LineageOs, Ressuection Remix, and even the Chinese STOCK ROM 26s, and the problem still persists!) Apparently it's a serious problem recognizing my USB port I do not know what else to do! Please, help me!
even first buy , do you have problem ?
To Vitor_147
Remember, if you change the stock original LeEco rom you cannot say "have a problem with my LePro3", it's no longer the original combo "LePro3" (hardware + software) so expect (and accept) anything (better or worse!) and report the defects to the rom developer.
Now some helping things!
Apart to clean the phone usb c port and to try a new usb cable, you can:
With the usb cable connected, switch the usb debug off (or on) (developer options) then check if your computer detect your phone.
Even if your computer doesn't detect the phone or your phone seems not charging battery, if the usb cable (and charger) is good in 99% of the cases it charges the battery even if not at full charge rate (expect a minimum 4 hours charge time).
Before to give up, the last try is to bring your phone back to factory conditions with everything (but everything!) under the exact conditions of how it came out of the factory, then you can start over there and have an idea of whether the phone has a hardware defect or if it's just a matter of software.
I hope you solve the problem, if you find the right solution please report it here, so other users can learn how to solve this problem! Cheers!

I already wrote this up in Omni thread, so I'll keep it short. I've also been experiencing this same issue for a while now, it first happened on stock rom, reboot solves it. Darko tried a fix in his eas kernel, seems to fix it (so maybe somehow kernel related). I believe it might be somehow related to the usb-c controller, cause I found cases online of similar issues with pixel phones (i believe the controller manufacturer is the same as in our phones). I actually know the exact moment when my problems first began, after I used my OTG adapter to connect a usb mouse. Few hours after that, the phone wouldnt charge.
{Disclaimer - this part is purely my theory}
I think it maybe somehow related to a safety "switch/fuse" of sorts, or something to do with static discharge or something similar, and here's why. I did a loot of trial and error since the first time it happened to me cause it scared the sh*t outta me, thinkin my phone is broken. I am vigilant about careful handling of usb ports and such, (ocd-ish really) so theres no way I physically damaged it, its not loose one bit, cleaned it out, tried wiggling the cable around anyway, has no effect, so I excluded the possibility of a faulty port/soldering. A few occurences to note
No1 - if I plug my phone in the charger first, and then plug the charger in the outlet, it breaks the port, I have to reboot to fix it. But plug the charger in the outlet first, then the cable to the phone - no problem. (Static discharge of sorts?)
No2 - since it started happening, the only way my usb-c OTG adapter works is if i first plug the adapter in the phone, and then the desired usb device in the adapter. If i try to plug the adapter in the phone w/say a usb stick already connected to it - no go, doesnt work.
Oh... I'm sorry for what happens to your phone! It's true the safest way to charge a phone avoiding current surge/spikes/shocks is to plug first the charger to AC outlet, then the usb c plug to the phone, then the usb plug to the charger. If possible, never plug/unplug the charger to/from the AC outlet if the phone is connected to the charger.
When the phone is full charged, first unplug the cable, not important which side first, then unplug the charger. If the phone is still charging, better unplug first the cable from the charger side to avoid micro spikes on the usb c port.
If you cannot obtain a normal behavior of the usb c port neither with reflashing the phone with the "qfil" system, perhaps a logic port of the usb c port is burned or simply in undetermined state, in the last case a total battery discharge may reset the logic port state and the phone can works fine once fully recharged. I'm sorry I can't help you better at this time! Cheers!

@orsonbear, thats my train of thought aswell, micro discharges occuring while plugging/unplugging causing the controller to freak out, or potentially damage the tiny connections (micro usb only had 4 wires vs 24! in usb-c). But I believe the problem lies somewhere on the software/firmware side, mainly because a reboot solves any issue I have. And also I just remembered, the first time it happened to me was a couple of days after I updated my firmware while updating to 19s, or 20s, cant recall precisely. Anywho, for me it's a minor nuissance, not like the OP who can only connect his phone once before rebooting (I can go for weeks before it occurs).

Yes,
I thought about letting the phone down completely, and see if that does not happen anymore!
Same problem here
Days ago it start happen, exactly how you say, i never change the stock software and it start happen randomly, I have to reboot to recognize anything that I plug into the USB c port, I try factory reset and change from 26s to 23s and it keeps happening so maybe I'm pretty ****ed, someone help me, in my country no one will fix the port u.u (sorry for my English).
Hellao! I'm having a very similar issue, charging works fine and the pc detects the phone but OTG and the audio on my headset is not working. Did someone of you find a solution to this problem?
1. x720, x722 or x727?
2. Where did you buy the phones? (Store names)
3. What kind of USB-C cable were you using? The one that came in the box? Have you used other USB-C cables and adapters to see if it works?
This could be hardware failure due to a lack of QCing from LeEco (just your average hardware issue) or a USB-C cable issue. It's ver. 1.0 on all LeEco Pro 3 models (right)? So I can't say it's the cable for sure. Has anyone attempted to take the phone apart to replace the port? do they even sell the port replacement?
Similar problem for me. About a month ago my headset stop working and the phone did not recognize it at all, tried with the adaptor to 3,5 mm jack and did not work either. Charging worked though.
Found a replacement chip with usb c port and ordered. Yesterday i replaced the charging port, but still the headset do not work at all, and connection to PC does not work ether. Charging still works as usual.
I ordered the phone from grossoshop 7 month ago with their rom. Tried this evening to upgrade the rom from 5.8.018 to 5.9.020, still grossoshop but no difference... It should not be a hardware problem as i replaced the type c port.
Should i try to flash another rom to see if there's any difference?
Any other suggestions?
Thankful for any ideas

Have you tried switching cables? Could you have broken a contact or something while swapping the port out? Have you tried putting the old port back in to see if the computer recognizes the phone with it? Unfortunately you're gonna have to try everything, even if opening it back up again is tough. LeEco phones aren't exactly known for their build quality. Are you x720? Well, flash whatever ROMs you can, I guess. Might as well try everything.

Yes, I have tried to switch the cables so no problem with them. Have not done a swap back again as the problem seem to be similar as before, so maybe a change to a different rom will be the next step for me. If change of rom does not work, maybe then I'll try to swap port again.
And yes, It's a X720
Thanks for fast reply.

Maybe it's not plugged in or attached correctly so the phone doesn't detect it. Sounds like a hardware issue to me, in all honesty. I once took apart my iPhone 5 to replace the non-functional home button and it wouldn't work no matter what I tried. I had to remove the battery, reseat it, and then attach the home button again. It finally worked after a reboot.
just report in on this thread, I as well recently purchased an x727 experienced the similar issue. Basically as described above no matter what roms i test is always have some sort of camera errors when charging.
sometimes charging doesn't work or camera doesn't work I have to reboot to get it to work. extremely annoying. I think it is hardware related.
Anybody else have a solution?

This my advice to anybody considering buying this phone don't why you will get zero support from letv.
I got luckey I have zero problems with phone .
I recommend spending more money and getting a supported phone by the maker.
If you do buy one buy it from Amazon where get a warranty on it.
