Slow Charge on Stock Samsung Charger

Guys, I've been rocking my note for 2 weeks now, and I noticed that the charging with the stock samsung charger (if I use it while charging sometimes it drops % ) is reallyyy slow!
Until yesterday I used my old HTC Desire charger, and it worked as a charm, it charged way faster, but unfortunately I gave the phone to my GF and I had to get back to the Samsung one.
Looking at this thread in the AT&T version of the GNote, (http://goo.gl/RUcZ2) it looks like the problem is the stock wire not having the pins shortened. But I'm kinda lost, since I am not an expert of these things.
How did you solve this problem?

Can't you just try with another USB cable?

If it makes that sound, there is a shortage, DO NOT USE IT! It may cause fire. Return it to dealer for a replacement charger.
A charger should not make any sound at all.

Well, USB-cables are $1-5 on ebay and dealextreme. I use them without problems

my moto x won't turn on....

I recently bought a new phone and left my moto x in my backpack. it ran out of battery maybe a few days ago and won't turn on. it has a green charging led for a few minutes but then turns off and will not turn on until i let the battery die out. the phone is black and unresponsive. please any help would be appreciated

First, try a different cable and charger and plug it in well over an hour.
And when you do plug it in, do you see the Battery picture?

If you've let it sit a long time charging and there's no sign of life... It's sounding like hardware failure or something nasty.
Have you tried holding the power button a very long while? Up to a minute even?
Have you also tried both volumes and power for awhile?
Not much any one here can do if there is no sign of life at all I'm afraid.

Well, it must be hardware. You're going to have to send it in. There's definitely no Troubleshooting or things to try flashing if there is no sign of life. Without bootloader or recovery, there's not a thing you can do I'm afraid.

is there anyway to connect it to fastboot? just a shot in the dark

Not if it doesn't turn on.

my moto x got turn off automatically while i am using it .. battrey had charged full.. what will be the reason behind it i worried

fast charge settings?

Hi forumers!
So i just bought the Note 4, and received it yesterday.
I tried charging it this morning when it was at about 57%
it was plugged in for almost an hr and only charged 5%...
whatever happened to fast charge?
I was using the charger that came with the phone, it's not like i was using an extension cord...
So I've tried putting it on regular power saving mode, still nothing.
i checked the settings and fast charging was disabled completely...
Now that i'm at work (no charger) .. it's enabled again
I also didn't think the phone was overheating..
Does anyone know what's going on with that ???
all helps are appreciated !
Thanks guys!

make sure when u charging in setting battery part and its plugged in make sure it doesnt say charging usb it has to say ac charging if not its registering as a usb maybe u have a faulty charger

You got something else going on. Send phone back for replacement

Dude do a factory reset IF that don't work THEN do what bacard said. ... @Bacard you know more than that bro explain to a brother instead of telling them to go replace it RIGHT away....I fully agree it ain't normal. Mine charges 85% in 1 hour. At times 100 in one hour...

Oh I definitely know better. But I assumed he searched and read the 2 threads that already touched that and he did as they said. So only thing left would be a replacement. I am going by the info he gave.

New "Fast Charge" Wireless Puck in today - couple of pictures.

Got the new Samsung fast charge wireless charging puck in today, here's a couple of pictures of what's in the box.
Black puck comes with a white Adaptive Fast Charger and white USB cable (what happen to matching cables & charger?) :silly:
Wonder if you just use the Adaptive Fast Charger with the original puck would get the same results?
Will try it out later tonight and see what it does.

I believe that I hear a fan running inside of the puck. :silly:

So does it charge fast?

Yes, a lot faster then the standard wireless charging pad. Not blazing fast but fast.

So what would the numbers be? 90 mins with the wire, 120 mins with the fast wireless charger, how fast with the old regular rectangular samsung wireless charger? And are these numbers with the phone turned on or off?

2 hours with fast wireless charger with phone on, but if the environment temperature is higher than normal, it could be a little bit slower.
And yes there is a fan running inside, if you listen carefully at night, you can hear some noise.

You can also listen carefully during the day :silly:

Where did you get it from?

I heard there are slightly different model numbers from Samsung that look a like and you must buy the EP-PN920TBEGUS model to ensure it is the right one for the Note 5 (black; not sure what the SKU is for the white one for the Note 5). They look interchangeable but some of the boxes they come in say S6 and some say Note 5, and I have read that people that have a Note 5 that end up with the one that says S6 on the outside it works poorly... Where did you get yours?

I bought mine directly from Samsung

For $69 it better!

I had problems with the non-fast charging Samsung pad where it kept disconnecting and flashing blue. Some others have stated they had the same problem and that Samsung had no answer for it. Have you guys seen any of these behaviors on these new Fast Charging new ones?

It wasn't the charger it was the phone. AT&T and international devices got a s/w update that fixed it. Maybe other's can talk about their carrier's pushing an update that corrected it.

The fast puck is air cooled and the standard puck isn't. That's got to be better for both the puck and phone in terms of managing heat. The standard puck has a 5V/2A wall charger while the fast puck comes with a 9V/1.67A wall charger which will fast charge the phone on USB. I'm not defending Samsung's pricing but you are getting better features for the increased price.

I am on Verizon and since I got the phone, there hasn't been any OTA updates. Now I don't know if I should buy the new fast charging unit to try since it might have the same behavior of shutting off and blinking blue.

By cooled you mean fan cooled?
Great, something else to make noise!
I have an Echo string trimmer (58V) and that charger has a fan that's quite loud. Of course at capacity (>100 Wh) it's going to need active cooling.
And yes, it's high, there will be aftermarket ones on AMZN for under $40.
I have the stadium three coil that works perfectly now. The phone gets fairly warm with that one as it is. TBH I prefer the slower charge since that's how the battery is charged most of the time. If I need a quick pick up on a dead phone it's getting plugged in and charging by wire at 3A. This should maximize battery life in the long run which may matter for those that keep their phones for a while.

Im on verizon and no problems on the non fast charger. Been using it for a good week.

If you are talking about Note 5, actually it never caused over heating problem when i tested Samsung or aftermarket fast wireless charger, it's been the best wireless charging phone ever, with fast charging, the phone only gets little bit warm. The s6 edge+ is the phone you need to be worried about, it caused much heat when charging with fast wireless charger, it slows down the charging speed, i guess the fan inside Samsung wireless charger is specially prepared for s6 edge+. So for s6 edge+ user, Samsung's fast wireless charger acts better than aftermarket fast wireless charger without fan.

Here is what the manual says about the fan

Charging Current not steady!

I have try with three chargers and 1 powerbank. When i use quickcharge the current measured in Ampere is not steady, it can go from 800mah to 3400mah and this is not good at all for the battery. Can someone check if they are having the same problem?
Thank you in advance!

Today i was charging my device witv a quicharge powerbank and it doesn't quickcharge at all and charge until 80%, and stop charging and start heating bad, i was slepping and wake up because of the heat. Is a problem with my device or it is common?

use original charger. i dont face any of these issues

As i said i have try with a lot or charger, the original one included. Have you monitored the current? Also sometines it start conecting and disconecting or it get stuck at 80% and start heating up. It seems it only happen with quickcharge, if i use a normal one i don't have this problem.
Thank you very much for your help!

There is no one kind enougth to download ampere and test this???. It can take at most 5 minutes....

I tested and it goes from 1660 mA to 4050mA, the most time it spends on 3200-3600mA

The phone doesn't charge in full throttle while the display is turned on. So most of the time i charge with the display off. Keep it on and it will switch to 500 mah. Or max I have got with original charger and cable is 2500 mah

The problem is not that, the problem is that it fluctuates heavy, like in 10 seconds it goes up and down and it is not temperature related. With the screen turned off is the same, you can check. Also with some charges it doesn't even charge or stop charging from no where. It isn't ok by any means. Sometimes it even stop charing at 80% at stay heating up!
Can you confirm with ampere is yours is fluctuating like that too??? It will be nice to confirm that is in all the models.

Thank you very very very much. In your phone the current fluctuates but not that heavy, i will say that it is inside the normal parameters, like from 2900-3050. Anyway it should be able to charge a little more, like 3400mah. The problem at 95% is present at mine too. It charges really slow but it is normal, for security reasons.
So now i don't know, maybe my phone charging circuit is ****ed up or something .

It just fluctuates little that's not a problem.
But if it keeps jumping big levels then why not try with a different USB cable and see?
EDIT: Sorry just now I saw your first post. So it seems something else is wrong. I'm using the Nokia provided charger and USB and have been getting this much since the day I owned it. I think I would have seen 3500 in Oreo and now in Pie it seems to be pushing high current until about 80%. So not sure if it is just hardware only or software only problem on your phone.

I have tried with different cables and chargers, also i think the problem is not the usb-c port. Maybe the charge system is ****ed up or maybe something in the battery. Sometimes it is more steady but sometimes it start jumping from 1000ma to 3500ma and start going lower again. For example after 60% it charges steady at 1840mah like nothing. So i am not sure what is the real problem. Thank you for sharing!
