Charging issue - Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

how long does it take to you for a full charge? mine its about 3,5 hours sometime more, but i think it used to be much quicker... :/ (i use its own charger)

What phone model and ROM?
You can download Ampere from Play Store: it should show the actual charging current and battery life status.

Battery issues already?

I'm not sure if this is hardware related but as of this morning my n6 will not charge beyond 93%
My phone is just over a month old and I'm running a fairly basic cm12 build.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues?
Ok have you gone back to stock just to make sure it isn't rom related?
Install "ampere" from Play. Its the only truly accurate battery / charging monitor I've found.
Essentially the android OS works out what the percentage is based on voltage information supplied by your battery chip. Charge your phone as high as it will go, take it off charge and see what voltage it reads. Compare that voltage to someone else with the app installed when they are at 100%

Almost. Android doesn't have the voltage-percentage table. That is PMIC+firmware.

I believe it is a rom related problem, i have had my n6 for over a month and just last week decided to root, while on stock my battery life was REALLY GREAT and once i installed CM12 I've been having all kinds of issues
it's an early stage of cm12, it'll get better but for now i think i am going back to stock

Slow charging...??

So I started to notice about three days ago that for some odd reason it takes longer to charge.. On average it used to take about 2 hours to charge full from 0% now it can take up to 8 hours on the original Motorola quick charge or any quick charger 2.0
I already did a factory reset and started fresh then flashed the google factory images and completely wiped my nexus 6 but nothing helped. Can someone please help out as to why and how to fix it. Thank you!!!

Try different cables as well as chargers? Install "Ampere" and see what mA you're charging at
@rootSU Yes I tried different cables. It also happen in my truck when using a new Qualcomm certified 2.0 quick charge..

Theres a possibility it's hardware at your device side. Is it rooted / customised in anyway?
Definitely check out "Ampere" here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.ampere
I get around 2000mA showing when I'm on my Quick Charge, with any decent cable.
@rootSU I will check on that and get back to you thank you! Is the latest T-Mobile factory image posted in google page with WiFi calling yesterday but I did root it.

I would consider flashing back to stock (to wipe root cleanly) and contact support in case it is a hardware issue. Dodgy pin in the port maybe?!

This thread must surely be a sticky thread for long lasting information.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much for the "Ampere' suggestion. My MotoG factory default charger was giving only 10mA for some reason. Looked like it got corrupted. I thought battery was draining quickly due to apps and greenified some apps initially
Quite surprisingly battery savers were not giving this information. Even apps like cpuz were just telling charging or discharging & 3.76 mv or 3760 v which was not of much use.
I was thinking MotoG must be replaced with new one. This suggestion has changed my view entirely.

Im not sure. A lot of phones are 1.2A, or 1.5. The nexus 6 is 2A

hmm.. I dont think ampere has what I use. can't find it at least. I use current widget to see how much current is going into the device when charging, or going out when not charging. and only for that(I set up the widget for this only).

well.. my phone was on the charger, at 100%. and ampere said so. but current widget still showed that some current was going in, 55mA worth. and itll show 0mA when it actually finishes charging. I couldn't find anything similar in ampere. or maybe I just missed it? btw, free version, not pay.

If you watch ampere closely, youll see the phone cuts the charge off and then starts it again constantly whilst at "100%"
I've got a video somewhere, hang on...
Edit - actually I'm talking about wireless charging.

I see you edited it.. if I use it while its plugged in, itll get to 0, and let in 4-5mA every minute or so. if I dont use it, it stays at 0mA until I unplug it.

Battery capacity

Have a question about the actual battery capacity of the Nokia 9 ,
from multiple links plus the official Nokia site it says that the capacity is 3320 mAh ,
but when using the app called CPU-Z it shows a capacity of 3090.
so i was wondering if anyone can drop a hint on what is going on..

I installed AccuBattery and initially it read my mAh as 3340. However to get an accurate rating, i need to do a charge with it, so i will let you know what i get later tonight.
So far my use has been that i charge it every other day. So not bad. That's light to medium use, no game playing.
*Update: According to Accubattery, its likely that CPU-Z will probably need an update to correctly detect the Nokia's battery. I clearly got over 3090 when charging the phone. So try a different app. Let us know what you get.

[Help] Dash charging current ampere "issue"

Hi, could anyone provide some info when using stock dash charger for OP3T please..
1. what is yours current and max Ampere when you plugged in the dash charge at battery level around 70-80% ?
1a. at battery level around 60-70% ?
so, recently i'm using the Ampere app to test it shows the current ± 1800mah - 1920mah max (started charging at battery level 75%) and reduce when battery reached 90% (± 780 - 980mah which is normal i guess)
2. at what battery level does the dash charging would actually bump up the Ampere to it's max ± 3200mah or even higher ?
2a. should i go lower at below 60% to get dash charging really working for ±3200mah ?
because i rarely charging my phone below 60% and all i got from 60%-90% is 1920mah at MAX (always w/stock dash charger of course).
any useful information (and or based on experiences) would be greatly appreciated,
thank you so much

1. Around 1800. Max 1940.
1a. Around 1800.
2. Maybe below 25%
2a. O-60% is what i believe charges faster. After that it slows down gradually.
Try charging your phone at 1% and then measure it in ampere.

first of all thank you for your reply and for your kindness explanations.
oh i see now..
below 50% dash charging started it's job (i'll test and try drain my battery down to 40% i think)
edit: above & between ± 50%-70% it started reducing at ± 2000-2300mah yours (i haven't noticed and tested yet using Ampere app)
beyond 70% ± 1900ish even gets lower (more less, same as mine)
thanks, i needed to know wether my stock dash charger need replacement or not..i'll give it a try later.
does the charging method for long last battery: i.e. ± 60 to 90ish percentage still make sense to you? can't say much, but for me it does. i guess my battery still good after like 2 years usage..i usually charged ± 60-97%..and i'll keep that way as possible.
alright, thank you so much buddy!

My pleasure.
Just one more thing. Clean your charging port , sometimes dirt may be the root cause of slow charging.
Secondly use this apk and see your battery status. Of health is above 80% no need to change your battery. If it falls below 80 then go to service center and ask them to replace.

Question Charging Current

I recently bought an 80w charger (probably a copy). And in ampere app it shows around 2900 mA, I attached a picture. Is this expected amount from from and 80w charger. If not then kindly tell what is expected amount and if there is any harm in continue charging phone with this charger.
To reliably test a charger, dial *#899#, go into manual test, device debugging, then charge test, then super vooc.

Test result= Pass
I forgot to mention, it helps to have your phone down to a 40% or so charge, the charge speed slows down the fuller your battery is.
Bare in mind the temperature will make voltage and allowed amperage vary greatly.
When it hits 38c it'll drop in amps, then it'll drop again at 39 and 40 and so on, meaning that the proposed 5000MAh allowed charge will not happen, I've seen it as low as 1900MAh.
I haven't witnessed the change in voltage but it'd make sense for it to follow suit.
Your charging looks ok in face value.
Can you share your voltage&amps

5110MAh
4.096v
That's if it's below 38c
So I tested it at 34° temperature & it didn't went above 3000 mA so probably its charger limitation as its a copy.

Yea so that says 20w my charger is 80w.
There's the difference.
I'm so glad I found this thread. Enabled the setting on Accubattery and my charge speeds jumped. This makes sense because it was reporting very low speed for me, but the percentage was climbing at a quick pace.

This is perfectly fine. You are charging a 5 A battery with 3 A.
Up to 1C, so 5 A is safe. Things like max charging voltage and temp are hardcoded in kernel which you can't simply bypass with a more powerful charger.

In my opinion my charger cant deliver more 2900mA and the avg mA is 2640. In post #13 @dldaz is getting 5821 at 39°C. Which is more then twice. I am looking for a genuine or at least a good quality 80w charger will share current/voltage after results.

According to the specs it should be possible to charge with 5 A as well.
Because your charger have the same specs as the one which is getting over 5 A. But the question is if you both are using the same phone with the same kernel. Or other possible reason is that fast charging is disabled in Android settings.
Usually OEMs don't allow to charge with 1C. But you can get 1C with a custom kernel, if it has support for charger control.
