I always charge my phone using 5V 1A conventional charger, never use original HTC charger because it's so slow (I'm talking about 0-100% in 14h)
Tonight I leave it charging when I'm sleeping, yes I usually do that. I woke up with no power on my phone, so my phone don't charge in a whole night.
So basically when using conventional charger it won't charge my phone anymore. But when i use the original one, it's charging.
What's really happen? Why I no longer can charge with conventional charger?
And why my original charger takes 14h to get full charge?
Conventional charger is dead.
Also check the usb cable.
Good luck.
My N6 is no longer fast charging and is slower charging over all.
I bought a new turbo charger, tried different cables, rebooting and everything I can think of short of a factory reset. It seems to be a hardware problem with the device but I could use some advice here. I installed a Play Store app called Ampere which is showing a maximum charging current of 650 mA which I'm pretty sure is well below what it should be.
Just doing a back-up now in advance of a full wipe, though I don't think it's software related.
Any thoughts?
are you charging via being plugged into a wall outlet or via usb?

while usb and wireless, thats a normal amount of voltage, but for a wall charger, if below 90, its not quite enough. normal would be from about 2100-2400mA. but, since about 4 months ago, my phone stopped fast charging as well. but i still get more of a charge than you. honestly, ive no idea what causes it. my guess is that its something with the usb.
Just to update- I RMA'd my device this morning with Google and they're sending me a replacement device. It became clear it was a hardware problem with the USB port when I hooked it up to the PC and the N6 wasn't detected.
Just a note to anyone else with this issue. Check what Ampere says. It will give the mA, which is useful, but it will also tell you if it detects charging as "Turbo"
Indeed, Ampere was showing 'Normal' rather than 'Turbo' on my device.
ill try it when i get home as well..
Got my new N6 and everything's good. Ampere is showing 'Turbo' mode and its charging around 2000 ma. Much better than 70 mA, lol.
About a month ago my Note 4 stopped charging properly. I thought the battery was just getting on in age but with some troubleshooting I've noticed some symptoms-
#1- No longer shows up as Fast Charger plugged in. Whether it is Quick Charger, Regular 1A Charger, USB cable to Car Charger- it always shows up as USB Charging. This takes about 8 hours for a full charge.
#2 - Phone no longer connects to computer via USB .
#3 - Today I attempted to put a Wireless Qi Charger in, and while I was able to get some charging on a friends note. My Note seemingly is unaffected, even though the Qi Charging comes from the back plates- NOT from the USB port.
I'm guessing my 'charging unit' is damaged. Though I'm willing to hear out any suggestions.
Can anyone think of any components that would make this so?
Right now an external battery charger seems the only reasonable fix.
Hi everyone, so my issue I currently have with my Nexus 6 is as follows:
Device Details: Nexus 6, rooted, running CM13, Xposed Framework installed
Charging from USB: shows "charging slowly" message on lockscreen. Ampere shows an average of about 200mA, regardless of type of charger. Tried several QuickCharger adapters and a regular adapter, as well as several different cables to the same result. When connecting to a PC via USB, it shows the same charging power, however my laptop is not recognizing that the device has been plugged in.
Charging Wirelessly: charges normal as it always had, showing a average of about 500-700mA.
The issue occurred suddenly while I was out hiking and attempting to charge via a QuickCharge capable portable battery. The previous day it was charging as it always has.
All signs point to a damaged micro USB port on my Nexus 6, but wondering if there could be any other possible causes. I'm hesitant to try a factory reset to troubleshoot it as a software issue since I have no way of connecting it to my PC to re-root and re-flash CM if that doesn't fix the issue.
If it is the micro USB port as I think, any suggestions on how to remedy this? I'm used to using my device heavily everyday and charging it with a QuickCharger as needed, so this slow charging is a significant issue right now.
Thanks for any help!
your phone charges at differing speeds at differing parts of its charging cycle. and on top of that, charging via usb instead of wall charger will carge your phone at a much slower rate. that said, we also have a "usb fastcharge" option included in many kernels/custom roms. but you also have to know that fastcharge doesnt work with every usb port that you can plug into. it only will work with certain usb ports.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. When I said "Charging via USB" I just mean through the phone's microUSB port. Regardless of whether it was plugged into a wall charger(with or without QuickCharge 2.0) or my laptop or a portable battery, or a QuickCharge car charger, I was getting the same charge rate and message showing "charging slowly", much slower than wireless charge rate which showed the normal "charging" message. The Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0 using the provided Motorola Supercharger or my QuickCharge 2.0 capable portable battery has always worked great prior to this issue.

ok, because the included "fastcharge" is only for usb charging. but regular charging still depends on where in the charging cycle you were. for example, at 92 itll charge at a much slower rate than at 50. what battery percent where you at when you noticed?

Initially very low, under 15%. Was attempting to charge with a QC2.0 portable battery, but the device was draining quicker than it was charging. When I got home, I attempted the Motorola "Turbocharger" wall charger and got the same rate. So I put it on the wireless charger, and as it charged, I kept testing the wall charger every 20% or so, getting the same slow charge rate.
The bottom line is really that the Wireless Qi charging is functioning properly as it always has, but any "plugged-in" type charging is charging at an extremely slow rate, no matter what type of charger, no matter what % the battery is at.

odd! it could be a software issue or just a derp. have you tried rebooting? im one of the few that i know with a broken usb on my n6. and it charges slower. it used to charge at about 2400mV, now it charges at 800mV max. now that its completely broken, i cant charge it via a usb anymore, now i charge it wirelessly, which is at about 800mV max as well. anyways, try a reboot, or reflashing your software first, before doing anything extreme.

Yea I've tried rebooting like 20 times lol. Also tried doing a CM nightly software update. I'll see if reflashing will do the trick. Any suggestion on reflashing from the device? I've always used Nexus Root Toolkit and did it from my PC.
If that doesn't work, guess I'm stuck with wireless charging too. Thanks for your help!

you can flash cm via twrp recovery on your phone, without a computer. oh, and my work buddies are still in shock that my n6 wirelessly charges.. they both have iphone 6s
I just bought a Nexus 6, and one thing is strange to me.
When charging with the turbo charger and the cable come with phone, phone shows charging and back to not charging state, repeatedly about 3 minutes, finally stop the repeat and keep showing charging state like regular charging.
I never use turbo charge before, so I don't know it's normal or not.
Since Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0 (your 'turbo charge') has the ability to charge devices at higher voltages and amperages ([email protected], [email protected], and [email protected]) than normal USB allows, it is probably negotiating between the device and the Quick Charge charger at what voltage/amperage it should start charging at - once it settles on that, it starts normal charging. As the battery gets charged, the charger reduces voltage and amperage. As a side note, the Nexus charger can also be used as a normal USB charger - it only shifts to the higher values when a proper successful negotiation happens between the device and the Quick Charge charger.
