how to enable and disable fast charging mode on SM-N9208 - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

please help me
I can't find fast charging on/off on my N5 sm-n9208.
accessories features setting also lost on setting .
user manual guide include accessories features but my N5 lost

I think there is no option for enabling/disabling fast charging in Note5. You are forced to use fast charging.

hi ,
yes , i agree with @TAEL post above
i also found no option to "change " fast charging ...but ........
I had a experience where my fast charging just stopped "?"
I took/swopped my cable/ power cord with my old Note4 cable and fast charging was back again ! Also you can change charger plugs around ( eg Adaptive fast charging and a plain Samsung charger plug )
I thought about issue and came to a conclusion ,that surely consistent fast charging, cannot be good for battery and may shorten battery life ???? I now alternate with my 2 x Samsung cables/plugs .If i want fast charging i use my Note 4 cable/plugs (working ), vice versa.
If i want normal charging i use the other cable /plug .
Yes, i know these are a work around,
but surely, it's better than having no option in Note 5 battery settings ,regarding fast charging ??
good luck

As said, N5 no longer has the option to disable fast charging (cable). It does however have the option to disable fast charging for wireless charging. The option will appear once you use a fast wireless charger.

after I test with wireless fast changer I reply
thz

If you don't want to use Fast Charging.... don't use a Fast Charger.... simple. There's no option to disable it, but if you're not using a fast charger, then it won't fast charge.

Why My phone takes too long to charge.

You can find the option to fast/normal charge in the battery section.

Fast charging while screen on

I noticed that my note 5 is not fast charging while the screen is on
After doing some searches I realized that it's an option included by Samsung software
Is there any way to disable it and always have fast charging even while using the phone ?
That would be great

hi ,
i just want to point out ,that i am not to sure where you read above claim....?
re not fast charging while screen is on ..??
I have Note5 ( 920C ) not rooted ,stock Rom .
Fast charging shows up ..all the time with screen on !
( see screenshot .)
......how would i have taken screenshot without screen on ?
I had a issue about an month back that my phone did not fast charge and i swopped Usb cables ( took an spare old Note 4 cable ) and it worked again !
To me it points to some "error" ??
Not showing up !!
good luck

Yes it will still show Fast charging but the incoming current will be limited to somehow around 1000 mah (check it using Ampere or galaxy charging current)
I read it on official samsung website ( Check the screenshot )
There is no option to turn fast charging on or off. That option was only found on the Note 4.

hi,
interesting, what Samsung claims.
What I found in real life usage is, if i have fast charging enabled (showing in notification) and my data /wifi is on and i keep on using my device , it still " fast" charges (ok, with how much mah, i dont know) to 100% in the +- time as stated in notification.
If i use my original Note5 usb cable with fast charging adapter it states
that it is now "cable charging" and actually slowly loses battery %. while i am using the phone.
My current setup is.....
i am using my old long Usb Note 4 cable with Note5 fast charging adapter.
Further, yes it is logic that if device is in sleep mode, it will charge faster...! but while I'm using it with fast charging "enabled /activated " (my opinion) it's also fast charging.!
The only difference is in the mah..? but charging faster than cable charging..... yes.!
Bottom line...
my logic says it's not good to always fast charge, as it can have a negative impact on battery in long run.
I alternate between fast and cable charging.
Anyway, for each their own way!
good luck
The max screen ON charging limit of 1400 mAh is set by the kernel. You can find this in source. This is not opinion, but fact.
I have battery charging controls (by AndreiLux) implemented in my SkyHigh kernel to control screen OFF rates.

Fast wireless charger and battery health

I just bought a Samsung fast wireless charger with the intent on using it to charge overnight. Not sure why I didn't just opt for the slower one if that's my main use, but anyway, I'm worried about battery life and health with fast charging all the time. As it stands now, I only use fast charge if I really need it and just charge it overnight in slow mode. Does this wireless charge still allow you to use the slow mode or is it always locked into fast charge?

Yes you can. I have the same charger and all you have to do is go under settings>battery and on the bottom you can turn off fast wireless charging!

Awesome, thanks!
You can also just use a USB wall adapter that is not fast charge compatible, and it will charge at a normal wireless charging rate.
I just got my charger in, but I don't have a setting for fast wireless charging under battery settings. Right now it's charging normally, but when I do want to enable fast charge I have no option. Did it move with the latest firmware updates?
EDIT: Never mind, I just went out to check on it and the option is visible and enabled. Weird.
You can reference the charging tests I conducted with all charging methods for the S7 Edge. Fast Wireless Charging does not generate that much heat, nor does using QC 2.0

The setting for wireless charging appears only after using the wireless charger once. Maybe you have to reboot after that.
Another option for activating fast wireless charging appears under Accessoires at the bottom of all settings.

Slow wireless charging generates more heat than fast wireless charging. I've done about a dozen tests with both and the results are very consistent. In the end fast wireless charging is better as is QC 2.0 if you look at the temperature curves I posted above.

Note taking forever to recharge

For example today it took over three hours to charge from 57% to 100%.Phone was being charged whilst turned off.
Noticed the other day when recharging both the recharger & the back of the Note got pretty warm whilst recharging & phone turned off.
Could this be caused by an app, say something like anti-virus, I run Avast?
Sorry to bump this but it's still an ongoing issue.
Also bump, I have this problem as well. I haven't damaged/dropped the phone or exposed to water. I have tried both mine and my wife's official samsung faster chargers and my anker multiport fast charger. They all charge slowly. Any information would be helpful.

hi ,
i would suggest you try and pinpoint cause of issues eg , to phone ,usb cable ,charger etc .?
Then decide what action to take .?
I would suggest you start by to check charging ,discharging etc. of your devices ?
i am currently using these two apps to check my cables/charger charging ...
Ampere and Galaxy Charging Current ..............................(Plus, there are plenty other similar apps /options Just check for free versions , as i have the paid ones )
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.ampere&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent
To give you an example why i suggest this ,
is that just yesterday i checked , all my usb /chargers .
I found that the one usb cable ,one family member was using .
He was complaining about slow /forever charging ,
The usb cable was only charging at 300mA average
I changed it with another cable ,that was charging 1200mA ...+ ( average )
i also made sure (in past) changing usb cables and chargers around and check current .
If this does not work ,surely it points towards your device and not an accessory of device ?
Only option then is to take to service center ?
Just remember ,
you don't have to "damage" your accessories /device ?
to experience issues, like i described above in my post .
good luck
post note
Nearly forgot .
Remember there a diffs between cable charging and fast charging.
Firstly ,fast charging has to be enabled, in your Device/ Smart manager ,Battery ,at bottom Fast cable charging.
Secondly ,
If your device is fast charging or cable charging,
it will tell you this in your drop down
Notifications list eg . fast charging /cable charging .
I have found that a lot of Usb cables /chargers "don't " fast charge. !!
One moment it might say in Notification "fast charging " then a few days later that same cable/charger , will suddenly stop fast charging .!!
I also don't recommend ,always fast charging .
I am sure it will eventually damage/shorten , your lifespan of battery .

Willcor summed it up nicely. It's also worth mentioning that in the past I have had similar experiences, albeit as a result of firmware (stock) that I flashed via Odin. On some it would take forever to charge to I flashed something else etc. If you've had any updates recently then it may be related, but it also could be your cables. I remember reading somewhere that people had faulty fast chargers (or ones that would develop faults overtime) as well as some of samsungs cables (which are also known for bad "batches").
Regards.

POLL: Do you use Fast cable charging?

Options have 50 char limit.. So here are longer descriptions:
- Yes. Fast charging is always ON
- Never. My battery lasts the whole day and I (slowly) charge it overnight. And I am either not in a hurry or good at planning my charging time
- Sometimes. I turn it ON only when I need it
- I don't care or know anything about it. I use default settings
Is there an option to turn it off? I haven't seen it. But anyway i use my old s3 charger for all my devices. I don't trust fast chargers. They kill batteries.
Slow charge really isn't that slow.

Regarding fast changing killing batteries the charger provides a voltage to the phone, the power management controller monitors battery voltage and temperature , I would assume these have limits and will take control if outside of range in a similar way to throttling cpu frequencies when it gets too hot.
Under battery settings

Where did you find this setting?
I'm using "bad" cables for show charging but being able to limit the current and the charging state without root, like on Sony smartphones, would be great

The option is in Device Care > Battery > Settings
Personally I leave fast charge turned on and use a bunch of different chargers with the phone, I just have Battery charge limit set to stop charging at either 80% or 90% (depending on when I think I'll be next able to charge) and try to start changing between 20% and 40%.

Using "bad" or cheap cables is really not the best idea, they often don't meet the USB C spec and could damage your device. Try to stick to high quality but low current chargers (Like old phone chargers) or disable Fast charging as previously mentioned.

Strange. My n9600 doesn't have that. I got device maintenance and there's some battery saving options in there but no fast charge option. Oh well the s3 charger works for me.
Edit - nvm found it.

Under the battery menu press the three dots in the upper right corner and select advanced settings. As for the poll I turn mine off.

You have a battery charge limit on an unrooted note 9? How?

It's rooted. I did come up with a solution using the Automate app and a smart plug a little while back but only worked if you're charging from the charger that's plugged into the smart plug.
Yeah okay this 2 ways are well known
Thanks for the fast reply ^^
I was already questioning my eyesight. You know, Samsung UI and not finding an specific setting in menu could happen even after years I think ^^
I charge when I want, as fast as I want. I leave it on the charger overnight, everynight. Have done it this way for years and will continue to do so. Never seen I'll side effects from doing it this way. I have too much of a life to monitor my charging speed and make sure I'm next to the charger to stop it at 80%. I like waking up to 100% and using it as I see fit through the day. YMMV
Fast charging is set to ON by default straight out of the box. So youll think samsung has taken this to consideration.
Personally, i keep this off when charging with the orginal charger. I have an app called Battery Warner which alerts the user when over a set %. or if rooted it will stop charging and enable charging when it is under a %.
If i have plans to go out and the battery is low then ill throw it on fast charge.

My 2 cents:
I think Samsung doesn't care much if battery will remain healthy after 2 years. They care now to sell as much Notes as possible with the "Fast charging" marketing slogan.
That's why it's ON by default.
I never use fast charging as it will provide more harm than benefits to the battery health + I use a magisk module (Advanced Charging Controller) which have cooling mechanism and voltage monitoring and also battery temperature monitoring and this will also greatly increase the battery life on long term use.... since we got a non replaceable battery
Since I rooted my Note 9 on day 1 (I don't care about warranty) the first thing I did is I used Advanced Charging Controller and keeping my battery healthy for as long as maybe 4~6 years of usage

It does, but still the degradation is higher vs no fast charge.
on the topic: The first thing I did on my s7e was to turn off fast charging - the battery after 2.5 years is in a really great shape even after every day charging. The same I did on my note 9. Will use fast charge only if I am in real hurry and need a lot of battery fast. If the phone is changed every 2 year tho, it's not that big of a deal and everyone decides for himself.
Otherwise in most cases it's not needed to charge overnight as 0-100 without fast charging is 2h-2h and 10 minutes. As most charge from ~20%-100% it will take 1:40 to charge the phone. The overnight charge is if the phone is charging from the PC USB - the best way for battery longevity, but not really worth the hassle vs normal charger charging.
According to poll results: more than a half (or 2/3 depending how you will count) uses fast charging.
No, slow on cable and fast charge for wireless!
Photo's by Sully using SM-N960U
The high temperature is an enemy of the li-ion battery. The normal load on the cable drives the temperature to 30.5C. Fast charging on the cable tray at 34.5C. Fast wireless charge up to 37.8C. What better?
Never have and never will use "fast" cable charging. I dont wireless charge either.

Fast charging

Hi can anyone tell me how to find a way to see if my device is fast changing since Samsung says fast charging but i can't seem to find it on the mate 20 lite
Does your charger say the voltage?
Just use the official one and your good to go...
or check the battery icon. If is fast charging multiple "lightning" icons appear in the battery level.
