P10 Lite quick charge not working - Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers

My Huawei P10 lite(WAS-LX1A) supports Huawei quick charging(18W-9V2A). But it works only when the phone is OFF. When it's ON it takes around 5 hours to charge. When it's OFF its only 1h 40m. I'm using the original charger and cable. If I switch ON the phone after plugging in when it was OFF, then quick charging works for a few minutes and gets slow again. I have tried everything. It is not a heating issue because its the same even when the phone is completely cool. How do I get fast charging to work when phone is ON?? According to monitoring apps when the phone is ON it doesn't get more than 0.8A(max). Usually its around 0.4A(average). This is not an issue with the cable, charger or the usb port because everything is in great condition and original

Howzit bud,
I also use a P10 Lite and since the first day, the Fast Charging was always unpredictable and not constant.
A friend of mine mentioned to me a few months ago that the Fast Charge is affected by the cache being too large at that time.
So I did the restart into the Boot Loader and cleared the Cache Partition.
Thereafter it seemed to be working more often but still not always.
I use the Accubattery app as well to monitor the charge rate on my phone and the maximum charge rate when it's fast charging shows 2,750mA.
I can use the phone to browse items on the device and it'll still be charging fast.
But the moment I use the browser or YouTube app, the charge rate immediately drops to around 650-700mA.
I first thought it was my charger or cable, bought another original fast charger + OEM cable, cleaned the charging port, etc. No difference.
But in the meantime why don't you go to Settings, Storage and use the Storage Cleaner.
It should assist somewhat.
But for me, clearing the cache partition like I said absolutely helped.
Lemme know if it works.

Hey. Glad to find another user of this device. I tried clearing the cache partition but unfortunately it had no effect nor did cleaning storage. I got a new cable to see if there is any difference and there actually is a little difference. I don't know why because there is absolutely nothing wrong with the first cable. I've also noticed that fast charging is more likely to work when WiFi is used instead of mobile data. Turning screen of works too but overall its too hard to predict what'll trigger fc. A trick I found is that I can increase offline fc speed if I plug it in when the phone ON and then turn it OFF after it's plugged in for like a minute(don't unplug when switching OFF) . Do this instead of switching it OFF and then plugging it in. This method creates more heat but it can give a full charge in ~1h20m. Instead of the usual 1h50m. Maybe yours does this by default I don't know. Thanks. Let me know if you find anymore tricks

It's great that you've found somewhat of a workaround that works on your device.
When I was going through this problem I searched everywhere and all I could find were generic answers from everybody.
Like, "Make sure your using the original charger and cable" or "Maybe your cable/charging port is damaged" which only led to more frustration.
It's still a bit of a hit and miss affair but less impactful.
Try installing Accubattery to keep an eye on your charging rate on your device in real time.
I also have the data monitor permanently on my notification bar so I'm able to see how downloading files or watching YouTube affects charging.
It helps me.
Anyways, glad you're winning a bit.

Yes buddy I do have accubattery installed. If the display is off it charges at around 1900ma(avg). As soon as I start using it drops to 500ma(avg) . It's always either 500 or 1900. There's no inbetween. Looks like this bug is a mistake by huawei that wasn't checked or fixed. We'll have to live with it

Yeah, this fast charge tech wasn't ready for release when they gave it to us...
Good stuff!
Mine max charge rate caps out at exactly 2750mA.. But yeah, if I'm using the phone it drops right down.
Cool

Is my battery dead, or just messed up?

Ok heres my problem,
My phones battery is completely messed up. The phone ALWAYS says that its at %99 battery(and the number never decreases) but after a couple of minutes of use it will turn off by itself, no warning or anything.
I think I know how it happened(as a warning for other ppl). I went on vacation once and I didn't have a charger cuz there were no computers at the hotel, so I brought a random USB wall charger I found laying around(which I later found out it belongs to some spy pen camcorder ).
Unfortunately though it was charging SUUPPERR slow, so I got the crazy idea to charge it while it was off and to my surprise(dramatization) it charged (a lot)faster.
So I kept charging it like that every day and I noticed that every charge took less time than the last. It also started turning off by itself, though not as frequently as now. I thought the problem would fix it self once I charged it on my computer again, but I was wrong. TT_TT
---
Can anyone offer any solutions? I have a G1 with CM5 and clockworks recovery. I know clockworks recovery lets you do something with the battery, but idk how to use that
please help, this is a REAALLY annoying problem thats forced me to go back in time
You need to make sure it's putting out the same amount of power as your regular charger. I'm not 100% sure of this, as all I can do is charge at my computer and I have no idea how that works (as in if computer puts out waaay more power or has a limit of how much to put out) but I've always heard too much can be a bad thing for batterys. Also, don't overcharge.
^^Just posted that in another thread.
sounds like a died battery

Charging problem since update to 7.0

Hi all Last night I had the OTA update to android 7.0 I am now having problems charging the phone with cable. I have it set so it makes a sound when you plug in and start charging. Since the update it makes the sound but then keeps doing it and keeps coming up on the screen fast charging. It keeps doing it over and over so you cant do anything with the phone while plugged in as it keeps coming up on the screen. It works fine if I put the fone on my cordless charger pad its fine.
Also keep getting a red line down the right side of the screen, sometimes for a few minutes sometimes for a few hours, this has been happening for a few weeks.
Any advise please

Try a factory reset.
Before a factory reset, try clearing cache.

Turn off your phone, hold power + home + up button for 5-10sec then wait for recovery mode, use volume buttons to navigate then look for clear cache and press power button to clear cache.
Thanks cleared the cache, now seems to be charging fine.

Interesting... I have recently experienced the *exact same problem*, tried different cables, and I was almost about to give up to desperation and panic of assuming the charging/usb pin became faulty...
Now I'm seeing a bit of hope on it.. will try to reflash a stock rom from scratch (including wiping everything) and see if that helps me, too.
If it does, I think we're looking at a Nougat kernel fast-charging bug here, that may be affecting certain hw models...
I had an online chat with Samsung and they have told me to take it to a service centre for them to look at it. Luckily there is one 20 miles away so will take it in on my next day off.
They said they will do most repairs on same day and it is still under warranty.

Don`t believe it took it to the shop he plugged it in and it charged fine. not sure if he used a fast charger or standard charger. He did say with android 7.o if you are charging with a fast charger and you use the phone it turns off fast charging and reverts to normal charge. But they are going to replace the screen because of the pink line down it and he said the charging port will be changed at the same time. Will be ready tomorrow, they did not have it in stock.

Phone slow when charging

Hey there!
Does anyone else have the issue that the Le pro becomes really slow as soon as it's charging?
Feels like cpu throttling.
I'm running on the latest Lineage update.
I`m on Stock with Last Update and have the same Issue its noticeable slower on the charge.
It happend to me on old cydras rom. I don't know if is from the rom or just the hardware but it dissapeared. I'm on turbo rom and works fine. Be patience few weeks. If still does that change the rom. The phone may have some protection when overheats and cuts the cpu power to cool down. When charging temperature rise and if doing something with the cpu or gpu that rise temperature even more it automaticaly stops to cool down. It happens to me when playing games and charging phone.
That also happened (and still does) to me, the fix is exactly what you said @motanel_pufos, just let the phone cooldown a bit, because when it gets warm the cpu will indeed cut it's usage... Give it 10-15 minutes to get cool enough and enjoy your experience again
The problem is that the phone will be slow from the moment you plug in the charger. Even when it's cold..
Bumping this as the issue still occurs. Like mentioned above:, the moment I plug in my charger the phone is slow.
Is it better to report this as a bug to lineage?

can you turn off quick charge charhing in your rom??
I can't turn it off, and I shouldn't have to though ?
It's unbelievable slow when charging. Even my music interrupts while charging in the car.
Nobody else having this? I'm thinking of going back to stock ROM...
I have this issue as well. It seems like it's only been happening for the last month or two. I've been using AICP and Lineage roms and it has been happening on both of them.
I'm not sure if it is the heat from charging or the fact that the phone is sitting in the sun when it is connected to my car mount.

The worst thing is that my phone is garbage when it's in the car kit. It often goes so slow; even calls freeze up.
Is there anyone who knows how to reach lineage?
I used navigation with the phone in the car mount today. I did not plug in the charging cable. Everything worked great and there was no lag. So it looks like it is just the heat from charging.

Like I said; it only appears when you charge.
Let me use a small summary of how it happens:
1. Phone is cool and fast
2. I connect charger (phone is still cool)
3. Phone gets really slow (phone is still cool)
4. Phone is still slow (phone gets a bit warm)
5. I disconnect charger (phone is still warm)
6. Phone is fast again.
So it only appears when I connect the charger.

Keeps turning on when charging, how do I stop it?

I ran my phone down to empty battery, so I went to charge it. As it was already powered off I left it because, surely, it would charge faster that way.
When I came back to take it off the charger I discovered the phone powered on, display on full brightness, WiFi on and everything, and the phone hadn't charged sufficiently at all.
I never told it to turn on but it does this every time, and even when I turn it back off it turns back on again!!! ???
Thanks for your answers! ?
The same thing happens to me... no offline charging on our G6's, at least not after reaching around 5% of battery.
So when I want to charge my g6 faster, I will plug it in and make sure it's charging and then I will power it off. It will act like it's booting back up but it won't.

You can't change that. The only workaround is to turn it off after you have connected the charger. Since I use wireless charging, that is a difficult option for me so I just gave up.
You can't ffs, it has auto boot after 3-4% of charging. And thats not even a bad thing. If you want charge it faster turn airplane mode on, on charging.

HI !1
when i put my G6 on charge it mostly show high temperature detected and shutting down message and power off .. what should i do i face high temperature message after 24 hrs .. although my phone is on normal temp and no heat on its body ?
Maybe a software thing? Im on 20G oreo canadian unbranded sim unlocked. I powered down at 2 percent and plugged in charger and my phone stayed off untill i powered up ag 100 percent. Just my observation

Try factory reset first. If still the same then it sounds like a battery failure, which can be replaced but not easily.

when i plug into charging it shutdown sometime with heat temperature warning sometime without ..i think its not battery issue ..as other people also face different issue like when they plug in device tirn off it automatically turn on when plug in ..
by the way why there is option in USB debuggin menu for Unlock OEM and usb debugging as it cant be unlocked :crying:

That option in settings is there whether you can OEM unlock the device or not... Also, most or at least some G6 models can be OEM unlocked.
That temperature warning is still probably your battery. Batteries can get extremely hot when they malfunction (much more so than the other components alone) so I'd get it checked out or you may have a Note7 in your hands

thanks for info .. lets see i got new battery
So still no fix for the issue? Mine is turning on when charging as well, I mainly use wireless charging but it happens when charging with the USB cable AND when charging wirelessly. The phone will not stay powered off. Any suggestions? I have the most recent Android 8.0.0 update, VS988 on Verizon. I've never had an issue like this on Android, very frustrating.
I also found this link from LG. It seems to be software based, why would they do this?

In my case I drained the battery during usage thus not performing a graceful shutdown. When I try to charge into the wall it displays the charging icon on the screen and runs out of power and shuts down again-->Won't Charge.... I plugged the cable into my computer which seems to perform a slower charge --> the battery icon does not display and I am able to charge... this is silly as as a workaround solution. How to prevent the battery icon from display during charge?
This worked for me and it was so simple. I was looking in the wrong place for an answer.
On the plug end, where the USB cable is plugged into the plug, I noticed that the cable did not seem to be pushed in all the way. I pulled it out of the plug, then reinserted it as far as it would go.
Voila! The problem went away. I can now turn off my phone, insert the charging plug, and the phone goes into fast charge and, most importantly, stays powered OFF. Try it. this might work for you as well.

A7 "SM-T500" Charging issues since Sept update

Greetings. First of all I'm a normie not a techie and I don't understand half the threads in this forum!
Then, first week of Nov, I updated the software after being prompted. But I'm not even sure if that was an Android update or a Samsung update. All i know is that i lost my screen brightness slider, my volume control for my music streaming, and — most critically — my battery no longer charges properly. Before the update the battery & charging were normal. Now i can't charge properly (or completely) no matter how long it's plugged in.
Things I've tried so far include:
1. Different cables, outlets, and chargers
2. Optimized settings, disabled notifications, put apps to sleep
3. Force restarts
4. Safe mode
5. Tried charging while device is powered off/on.
Please see graphic below. The extreme discontinuities (crevices) relate to charging when the device is OFF. Yes, it now loses charge if I keep it plugged in while turned off. However, it's now been plugged in for weeks and still hasn't charged fully.
Advice welcome. I'm at my wits end with this device. (BTW, I have another Galaxy Tab which is working (and charging) normally. I didn't update its software.)

Late model devices need to be turned on while charging. The smart charging routines are embedded in the firmware and the device needs to be on to run them. Download the AMP app from Play Store and run it while charging and it will show the rate of charging. Post the results. You can turn the screen off for a little faster charging.
Thanks for your response. Wasn't sure which amp meter to choose so I selected the one with the highest rating.
The charging rate seems very slow, though I don't know what's normal. The adapters show 2A and 3A ratings.
Never knew the tablet should be on while charging. Mine made some headway overnight while off, but lost that and much more after I turned it on again. It's now been plugged in for weeks. Next I'll put it in airplane mode so it doesn't search for a signal.
Here's the fastest I've seen so far. Still doesn't seem like much.
None of this addresses why it all changed upon applying the September update. Everything was fine before then.
As you can see, the trend isn't good around here.

That is nowhere near what it should be. Do you know how to flash the latest stock ROM with Odin? Sept isn't the latest.
Unfortunately I have no idea how to do that.
I do have a new max and min though

edit: Have you tried updating via settings? Do that first.
If that doesn't, your only option is to try a factory reset. But first, make sure you know your Google Account name and password. You will need them the first time it reboots. You won't lose any photos, videos, music and such but you will lose contact, settings and any apps you have installed. To factory reset click the Settings icon and goto /Settings/General Management/Reset/factory reset. If that doesn't work, then you will have no option but to learn how to connect the tablet to a PC and use Odin to flash the latest firmware.
