I recently purchased a wireless charging adapter from http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QMIM6EM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I bought two, one for my alpha (international variant- exynos octa core). One for my wife's alpha (ATT variant quad core snapdragon) my wife's phone is able to charge on my wireless chargers to 100% every time. My phone will charge to 71% and stop. the receiver will show charging but the device will no longer charge. While plugged into the wall my phone will charge 100% so its not a battery issue. I thought it could be an overheating issue as well, however my phone is cool to the touch and even when I turn the phone off to charge it only charges to 78%.
My question is obviously, does anyone know what could be happening?
Is there a security setting im unaware of?
its worth noting that I have upgraded to 5.0.2 firmware through Odin recently.
Thank you for your help. I cant seem to find an answer to my issue on the googs
I have the same issue with SlimPWRcard from fonesalesman.com on 5.0.2.
Did not get the chance to test on 4.4.4 as I just got the phone and flashed the UAE 5.0.2 directly. Might give 4.4.4 a try during the weekend.
Hi all, I have the SlimPWRcard from fonesalesman.com as well. Qi charging has been fine on 4.4.4. On Friday I upgraded to 5.02 and my phone now stops at 69%. Very annoying.
And to add I can charge it to 100% fine through USB.
Any ideas?
---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------
Also to add, I factory reset the phone this afternoon, and the problem still exists. I am thinking now that if I don't find a solution I will downgrade to 4.4.4.
Maybe in the 5.0.2 they have increasing the charging current, and the wireless charger can not provide that current.
Any way to solve that problem?

I think you are correct about the 'current'.
With 5.02 installed, Qi charging increases the temperature of the phone to the point where I get an error message stating there is a problem with the battery, when I know there is not, and the phone gets quite hot.
Reverted back to 4.4.4 via odin and Qi charging is working fine again.
It would interesting to know if users with the official samsung wireless charging cover get this problem with 5.02. I am using a 3rd party wireless receiver.
I have connected the wireless chargins pads directly to 5v and the phone charged to 100%.
So I was right and in 5.0.2 the charging current was increased and the 3rd party wireless receiver can not provide that current.
Any android developer knows how we can customize the charging current?
I Charging from current usb 4.3v and 4.2v when wireless virtually identical.

Feeding 5v directly to the contacts it as a charge on the usb cable without control. And why then up to 70% is sufficient 4.2v?

The charging circuit needs 5V and not 4.2V.
Both usb cable and wireless charger module supply 5V, but usb cable can drive up to 2A and wireless module only aprox. 500 mA

I used the program Amere. It shows the charge in volts via usb and wireless charging almost the same. eg 4.3v and 4.2v. If anyone has the original charge Samsung. Take a screenshot with this program by 70% and 85%, for example. For what would be found unlike fonesalam.

That value is the voltage of the battery.
And the voltage in a battery is not linear, so 4.2v or 4.3v in the battery may correspond to very different charge states

It is known that the charge samsungovskaya still charging up to 100% (though sometimes problematic). It is necessary to compare the behavior of the SlimPWRcard from fonesalesman.com and original.

Hi all! (first post on XDA)
I recently bought a SlimPWRcard from fonesalesman and have it installed on my galaxy alpha (SM-G850F) Android 5.0.2 (OTA-update) with the stock "samsung experience". I'm also using the original samsung s-view-case for the Alpha, so I had to rasp the metal studs a bit (on both the SlimPWRcard and the flipcase) to make the SlimPWRcard fit.
I've had the same trouble as everyone else here with the phone charging wirelessly to about 70% and then stopping. When the phone has reached 70% the stand-alone-charger is still on, but the phone isnt accepting charge to the battery.
Today i discovered by accident that if I have the Samsung screensaver "daydream" active AND the s-view flipcase open, then the phone keeps charging above 70%. I've tried this several times now. If I turn off the "daydream" screensaver the phone wont charge above 70% wether I have the s-view-case open or not. If I turn on the screensaver and leave the flip-case open the phone keeps charging. If I have the screensaver on and the flip-case closed the phone doesn't charge.
I have no reasonable explanation for this, but maybe it'll help someone else to figure something out. Maybe the phone draws more juice from the battery when the screen is active and that keeps the battery accepting charge wirelessly?
It also seems that if I keep the screen active (like streaming from Youtube or simply continuously swiping the screen) the phone also keeps charging. However, if I let the screen go black, wait a few seconds for the charging to stop and then activate the screen again, then the charging wont start again. I have to let the phone start to charge and then keep it "active" for the battery to keep charging.
The charging seems to be slower after 70% and the phone gets a bit warm. but I guess the slowness can be attributed to the active screen.
So is this something worth investigating or is it just a fluke with my setup?
I happened or nearly happened to repeat the trick with the screen saver. The truth just once. At the same time nebylo charge indication, but though Meden but it was. Several other attempts have failed. The truth is I do not have a cover.
I have both the SlimPWR card and the official Samsung wireless charging cover, in KitKat both worked just fine, charging up 100%. After the Lollipop Update, only the original cover tends to charge to 100%, not always indeed, sometimes it stops around 95%, but the SlimPWR card stops around 70%. I don't have the displaycover, but i will check the Daydream option above.

Hi guys,
I have very strange problem I'm trying to solve these days.
My MHL/HDMI cable for galaxy s3 (red one, from ebay) seems to work almost perfect.
When I connect the phone, it starts displaying picture perfectly, but I have trouble with charging my S3
(from different power sources):
- When I use a wall charger as a power source (OEM Samsung, 1A), I get picture on my TV, which means that the
wall charger works ok, but the phone won't charge (no charging icon, nothing)! I also tried different
chargers with no luck.
- When I use a USB port on TV, PC or similar, I get both picture and charging my phone! That means that the
cable is ok, or at least partially...
My main problem is that the TV I'm using my S3 on doesn't have USB port, so i have to use an external power
source How to get my phone charging from a wall charger?
On the one I use the phone does charge while connected, but not enough to replace the power drawn from the battery -so the phone is still discharging while connected.
If your battery history doesn't show this, or the line indicating a charger is connected on the history, then I'd guess your charger is either faulty, or not designed to charge the phone at all.
MHL standard doesn't require the phone to be charged during the process, the power connection is only for the link itself.
I use my s3 original charger and plug into that, works fine, I have noticed that it only applies enough charge to hold the battery level as the mhl set up seems to drain power quite fast as the screen is always on, I watched a 2 hour film and battery level was exactly the same at the end as at the start
Interesting, but I have tried multiple chargers, and they all work when directly connected to my phone, but when I connect mhl/hdmi, none of them simply won't charge the phone. Good thing is that I have found "solution" - ScreenStandby - which allows me to watch a 2 hour movie whith about 40% battery drain...

The same to you
---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------
1./ Stop charge 30p
2./ ReCharge, dont turn on
3./ Waiting 1 hours
4./ Still charging, turn on, go to Android version
5./ Charging to full
done
power supply to weak to charge/operate at the same time
When I bought my w6s 3 days ago, a shops display model, the battery was also completely empty.
The supplied charger is rated 5V 2.5A. Assuming that idle operation may take 5 to 10W, this does not provide sufficient energy to operate the tablet and charge it at the same time. I learned this when I waited at the shop, while they downloaded and installed the english language pack for windows for me. Even though the w6s was on the charger for nearly an hour at just 25% brightness it still showed 0% of charge.
Back at the hotel I charged the w6s, while it was turned of and it worked, but required several hours.
The battery is ~6A at 3,7 V= 22 Wh, the power supply is 5V at 2,5 A ~ 12.5 W which allows operation, but not charging, which I read somewhere may take 6 to 7h, so the batteries do not seem to allow for fast charging and would be charged at just about 1A.
Can anyone please check the voltage of your power supply, is it just 5V or higher? I found on my Samsung Note 3 power supply with 5.4 V. When operated in the car using a 5V output PS the Note 3 operated as GPS using sygic never charges, so I assume a PS with a slighly higher Voltage that is within the tolerances of USB may improve charging time. Another variable should be the resistance of the USB cable used, the thinner the cable/higher the resistance the lower the voltage at the w6s input. Since my PS broke on the airplane and the shop did not give me the USB cable I cannot check the manufacterer values.
Anyone any thoughts/information?
I know there is a thread about what charger to buy, but I have a specs question. Mine z5 came with the International charger and I am in the US. I noted it is 5v and 1.5a. I have a 5v 1a charger on hand. Can I use that?
Sure, it will just take longer to charge.
No lasting negative effects on the battery?

Most certainly no negative effects. In theory it should actually be better for the battery to charge it with less current, but I don't know if that is true.
Different topic: I read that there are multiple versions of the Z5 (US, Europe, ...) and that they support different LTE frequencies. So maybe you want to check if your mobile connection works as intended, if you don't have the US version.
My phone is showing LTE after choosing my apn settings.
I tried using a 5V 1A charger with my phone and it doesnt seem to work. (It works fine on my old phone) The charge light keeps turning on and off. The vibration pulse you hear when it starts charging keeps pulsing too.
Better use an HIGHER amperage, than lower!! Charger will adapte it to phone specifics...A lower amperage will reduce your battery capacity in long time.
I once connected my Z5C to an old 500mA charger (caught the wrong cable) and kept using it a bit (screen on, etc.) and it gave me a nag screen that said that the charger is not suitable because apparently the battery drain from usage was more than what trickled back in.
However, if left alone even a 500mA charger should eventually charge the phone, taking much longer though.
Generally, with chargers, you need to get the voltage right. If the Amperage is higher that what the OEM charger is it does not matter. The electronics in the device limit the charge to what the device can handle. The Amperage on the charger is the max it can deliver. In other words, the charger does not pump 2.5A into the phone forcefully, the phone just nibbles whatever it can take (say 1,5A).

Any reliable source for that? The charging will be slower - yes, but I seriously doubt, that this has negative long-term effects on the capacity.

I think you need a 2A charger to be sure with the Z5c. Most of my older chargers take hours to charge it, and the car USB port (Nissan Qashqai 2015) barely charges it at all.
The UCH20 that came with the phone, takes 2 hours 15 mins to charge the phone fully. I got a quick charger which takes around 1 hour and 10 mins at max
Wow, really?
It is basic electronics. The voltage must be the exact one. Amperage is what the device draws , therefore the charger must be capable to provide a minimum not a maximum.
I repeat, it is basic electronics!
Now a more pertinent question :
What are the voltages for quick charge ? Does anyone know?
If someone has a original charger with quick charge can you please state what voltages are written on it?
Should be 2 or 3 voltages with lowest 5V
Edit : Found myself the info on Sony UK website of a Sony charger.

I also want a source for that... It's the first time in my life i hear it's the opposite... and i have been charging this phone with 1 amp or 500mA (with pc usb) for the past 4 years, battery is still fine. Only used a 1.5A charger a few times.
On the other hand, my sisters z5 had a swollen battery a year ago, she always used quick chargers...

Hello dear fellows- i am facing a very strange issue on my lg g5 (850).
I have a third party charger (Aukey QC 2.0) with a usb A to Usb Type C cable. This charger never failed me once on any of my Samsung phones. Quick charging always worked as it should but with lg g5 its charging speed is very slow. According to Ampere app its just 310 mA. After connecting this charger it even shows fast charging notification but fast charging is not there.
Today i've decided to charge it after turning it off completely and guess what... It was charging really fast as it should while turned On.
Now i am confused whether it's LG's software which is preventing 3rd party cables/chargers to charge fast while turned On or is it something else.
Any input guys or similar experience?

It's always possible an app is using a lot of battery while you're charging. So the phone charges slower. Question though, why don't you just use the provided charger from LG?

Unfortunately, the LG charger was lost last week during my travel so by chance I had this Aukey charger lying around which is Quick Charge 2.0 supported so i am trying to accomplish the original results with it until i'll get my hands on a QC 3.0 compatible charger.
Hm, my Aukey Quickcharge car charger even works fine with my phone.
Make sure you aren't using the phone while charging it, it will always charge much slower.

I can confirm that the LG software does not prevent fast charge with 3rd party chargers and cables.
I'm using a 3rd party QC 3 charger with a 3rd party cable, and fast charging is working just fine when phone is powered on.
And in Battery Monitor Widget I can see that it actually is fast charging and is using QC 3 to throttle charging amperage.
However I've experienced a couple of times, when changing cable in the charger, that it wouldn't fast charge. It was solved by removing the cable from the charger and connect it again, and then it works just fine afterwards.

Seems like slow charging has something to do with the heat/temperature of the battery or overall phone. If i try to charge it when the battery temps are around 30 then it charges really fast but if the temp is above 30 then software somehow restricts the fast charging to avoid any damages.
I am not sure if the above analysis is valid but my observation has lead me to this point only so far.

I learned 2 things from my testing using ampere and a drok USB current meter:
First, ampere isn't really that accurate when it comes to this phone and charging currents. It was consistently about 200mah off.
Secondly if the phone is even somewhat warm, it will limit the charge current to ~300 mah with the screen on. However if you turn the screen off, it returns to full charging speed (1.8 amps in the case of my charger) I think it is some sort of thermal throttle to keep the battery from getting too hot.

That really is frustrating. I always see fast charging when plugged in, although it definitely is not fast at all if you are using it or have the screen on .
Are you plugged into a wall outlet directly? Not an extension cord? Sounds like a warranty replacement may be in order, it's possible there's something faulty with your USB C connector.
Have I not voided warranty with unlock? thanks
Tried with xiaomi charger and it works, no joy with original.
Must be faulty lg charger using same cable
I have LG G4 and I was facing the exact same problem. The phone would charge very slow while screen was on. Once I let the screen go off the phone charged at the expected rate. It seems LG is incorporating some serious throttling in their phones.

I think you can not fast charge while the phone is turned off. Maybe someone can start another thread where we can compare battery logs because this will help to see the amount of time used for charging. Is there any way of seeing if the device is using QC 2 or 3?

I just got a Warranty phone because of GPS pins lost contact with case. Now I'm getting the slow charge message. I just found if I flipped the USB C over it fast charges. Just thought I would share though doubt y'all wouldn't have learned this by now with all of the testing you've done already.

I experienced that too. Isn't it strange?
Also, I experience with some chargers, the phone will just start charging for some seconds and then act as if the cable was unplugged and then start charging again. I don't know why. Anyone experiencing this too? In this case, it didn't help to flip the cable...
So disappointed with my G5 now.
Was great to start with now it's slow charge. Got new batteries but the same. Will charge off till about 5/6% then switch on. Lovely phone now just useless. Even got the phone and amp modules. Lol

This is a problem with the make of the charger. I have some Choetech QC chargers, and the programming in the QC is faulty. Some safety mech kicks in, turns off the charger, then turns back on again, over and over. I have some Tronsmart chargers and there is no issue. Of course, the OEM LG one works fine too.
To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the LG G6 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I have used the charger that came with it (since it was the only USB-C cable I had at the time) and it charged amazingly fast. I bought a Wireless charger as well which is also amazingly fast. It's my first wireless charging experience and I was told it trickle charges so it would be much slower than charging from the cable, but I barely notice a difference in speed at all. I keep checking the phone what seems like every couple of minutes if not seconds and the % has increased by a lot more than I would have imagined. I thought wireless charging to be pointless and a who-cares ordeal, but not that I have experienced it... I don't think I will go back to a device without it (not for a phone at least). I'm not sure if any health issues can be there from radiation, but I'm almost dead anyway (well... I have about 50 years to go I guess) so I don't really care, lol.
For those wondering, I went with the CHOETECH Qi Model T513 wireless charger. Input: DC5V/2A (Max) Output: 7.5W which I purchased from Amazon for only $19.95. That was 50% off at the time I purchased it, but that was only a few days ago so you might want to check on it.
Really? I feel my g6 charges way slower then my S7 edge. I still have it but I'm gonna test this tomorrow.

Using my car charger Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0(yes 2.0) and the included USB C, it charged to 70% in the 20 minute drive back to my house. For using the old QC tech, still charged amazingly fast. I have a QC3.0 39W wall charger that got delivered this afternoon. Will wait til this baby dies and charge her up with that and will report back.
Ive noticed when using a QC 3.0 charger and cable doesnt seem like the g6 is actually charging faster. Its suppose to support QC but its not.
I'm finding this charges a lot slower than my S7 Edge as well. Using the provided cable and charger it takes about 2.5 hours to go from 5% to full which is generally fine, but there isn't a burst and then trickle. I appreciated being able to plug my phone in for a short time when it was low and top it up enough to go out and not worry about it dying. Can't really do that with this one.
I had a power brick laying around and says qualcomm 2.0 and it charge`s really fast, like 1% of battery every min. , but yes with the stock charger brick takes forever to charge.
Using a Xiaomi USB C charger (45W) which supports both UPD 2.0 and QC 3.0, my phone charged very fast.
Mine charges super fast with the supplied charger. I plugged in with 11% yesterday and hit 50% in like 25 minutes.
quick charging is convenient and all, but is there a way to revert to normal charging? I don't want to accelerate my cycles. Thanks.

Use a non-QC charger.
thanks. I'll do that, I have to get extra cables anyway. Although I was wondering if there was a way to hack it phone-wise.

the charger that comes with the device doesn't support QC3, it's a QC2 charger.
so, getting a QC3 charger would defiantly decrease the charging time :good:

I'm pretty sure the supplies charger is QC3.

Silly question - is there an easy way to tell if a charger is QC2 or QC3?

Look to the charger specification, if it supports only 5v and 9v then is QC2. QC3 scales on various voltage between 5 and 12 volts.
And yes, the provided charger is QC2, probably the same Found with the G5.
Yeah I take back what I said. The supplied charger does appear to "only" be QC 3. It still seems faster then QC2 though. Maybe it's just in my head. It works for my needs though, I can get almost 50% in like 20.
Charge in airplane mode when you can. When you have no worries of anyone calling or texting. With wifi off as well you'll see a decent jump in fast charging.
purchased by phone a couple of days back and it charged from 5% to 100% in approx 1.40 mins with the stock QC 2.0. I'm damn impressed....
Let me Ask y'all something. Coming from a LG G4 and just Charging My Batteries by a OEM Battery Charger I got 2HRs More of SOT. When I charge via the USB Quick Charger I got the same 3HRs as usual. So I got 5 while charging Slower then the SO-Called Quick Charging. To my understanding Batteries are meant to Slow-Charge rather then Fast
