Has anyone else noticed that the battery still drains while using android auto via usb? I have used at least a half dozen phones in the same car with same wires and the rest of them would stay fully charged while driving,
I think the problem is the excessive battery drain combined with the overheating while using Android auto+ maps. Slow charging probably can't keep up with that. I'm losing around 5% /h using single sim and 7%/h with dual sim with wireless auto.
Same here.
I usually am on A Auto wifi for short trips, just need traffic info.
I used USB a couple of times and noticed that battery level was lower after a couple hour connection.
Nokia 7 plus (previous phone) was fully charged in the same condition.
I'll test again soon.
I'm gonna change the USB cable and I'll turn off the wifi option, to check if drain is still high.
Maybe solution is using android Auto via cable and wireless charging

Checked this morning, same happens to me. Wifi android auto is activated on smartphone and even if I don't use it on car display, nor I open maps, battery drain is huge and battery usage reports it as 'android auto'.

isnt wireless charging makes your phone heats up alot?
yes, I don't like it for this reason.With cable it doesn't happen.
Also, wifi charging gives a lot of problems with maps and navigation, losing connection from time to time. But I suppose this is a problem related to my Hyundai infotainment.
Anyway, there are a lot of settings to check. Wifi charging turned on or off, adaptive charging on/off, usb charing only vs usb android auto + charging...
at the end, will it turn out to be a software problem?
OVerheating seems to be a big problem for the P6P. Esp. when using wireless charging.
Has anyone found a solution to this.
Recently started using wireless android auto with my galaxy s22 ultra and found battery drain is massive even when not using AA on the screen and wireless charging overheats the phone..
AA wireless: 10% loss in 1h usage. (my midrange xiaomi phone did the same).
AA via USB: gets fully charged in 2h
tested with Pixel 6 and its completely normal.

If I where you I would use the wireless charger that can be mounted over the AC vent and no more worries of over heating + fast wireless charging.

Tried that and as expected failed . Won't charge wirelessly when connected to a cable .
I've ordered Motorola ma1 for wireless android auto . Hopefully that will fix everything .
My setup is a a fast wireless charger mounted over the AC vent connected to an aftermarket android head unit. Soon to be accompanied by the Motorola ma 1.
Will update details later .
I'd say it does use slightly more energy than compared without it
After using AA wireless for some months, I would say that battery drain problem is not so big as it seemed to be at the beginning.
I don't know if it depends on some fixes, or maybe the phone 'learnt' from everyday use, but I can live with this kind of battery drain now.
Not saying it's solved, but simply it's not a big problem anymore.
That is good to hear at least
Just got my motorola ma1 in the mail.
initial impressions super happy.
stuffed it in the glove box .
I have a baseus wireless fast charger which is mounted on the ac vent .

Does anyone have any ideas on how to increase car charger performance?
When I am using Google Maps Navigation with the GPS running and full 3G signal, the phone barely charges at all. Depending on screen brightness it can actually drain the battery(slower than when not connected to a charger).
Can the charger be modified to increase its output?
You have to buy a charger, which has more than 1 ampere
I have the Brodit Active Holder w/ Cig charger, I'll have to check the specs on it later. Do you think it could be modified in some way?
I bought the SE car charger (http://bit.ly/k7udKw), the price was a bit steep (20 euros or so) but it works like a charm. I use Sygic Aura navigation and the battery meter still increases over time. Not fast, but it doesn't stay put or decrease either, so I'm all in all happy with it.
Check out this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005618
And make sure you set your phone dock near the air conditional if you open GPS map, it'll get hot and your battery won't last long while it gets hotter even you charge it.
I bought my charger on Internet auction for about 2 Euros (some crappy China stuff) It works like a charm. And yes, battery gets very hot when I use navigation so I mount my phone holder near AC vents.
There must be a reason for the severe heat in the x10.
even in ultra low temperatures it overheats a lot.
So i finally remembered to check my car charger and it is a 1amp charger. I've just upgraded my rom to the one listed in my sig and the phone is much better on battery, so hopefully it charges better in the car now.
Had my phone docked in the car for 20minutes and it charged from 82% to 95% with the GPS on and Google Maps following my route. Pretty happy with that sort of performance.
Mines charge normally i use orginal se charger because in my car i got an ac plug
Sent From My X10!
im using this one
http://www.amazon.com/AT-BlackBerry..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1310226373&sr=1-1
it charge fast and it can charge another USB device like an iphone or my MW600 bluetooth... it can even charge my x10 to 100% while GPS navigation is on. my previous car charge doesnt do that, it can only hold my battery % without letting it drop if GPS navigation is on. so if my battery is 30% i'll get 30% after i disconnect and stop using the GPS navigation...

I've bought this one a while ago for 7 bucks (including shipping). Had just a few chances to use it, but all times it was really sunny and hot outside and the phone just stops charging because it becomes extremely hot. I would stick the mount somewhere near the gear stick, but it won't stay on any other surface than glass
It was a quite funny adventure when we were travelling to a big city with intense traffic and really complicated streets. So I am using the GPS to find the hotel we booked, it's really hot, I just keep going - didn't know that the phone stops charging when it's hot - so we finally arrive at our destination, I start to reach the phone with my hand and it just turns off, because the battery is dead. Was quite scary at the moment
Yeah, did some driving around this weekend using Google Maps Navigation. Had my X10 plugged into the charger that came with my Jabra Cruiser speakerphone. Despite the charging light being on the whole time, by the time I arrived at my destination my phone had >5% battery. I checked the charger, and it's only 500mA.
Ordered this charger from Monoprice.com (was ordering some cables anyway). The price was good, and specs say it outputs 1A. Will let you know how it works out when I get it.
Hi,
I'm having an annoying issue with my car charger. I'm actually using the SE car charger, the 1200mA one.
The problem is that sometime, the charger will charge very well, meaning I can listen to music, have the navigation active, and twitter, G+ updating as usual, the battery is charging around 1% per minute, but on other time, the battery will slowly drain, same setup.
I've noticed something yesterday btw, the phone was in a battery draining phase, then it appears that the phone lost his network connection, then it came back, and the phone started to charge well.
Is that an issue related to the car charger or could it be a "bug" in the phone software ?

The phone limits the charging current at a max of about 700mA.
Sometimes the radio eats thru the battery quite heavily in low signal area's.
The charging current just plainly cannot keep up with the total usage.

I have had my X10 for nearly 2 years now and i have tried about 5 different car chargers until finally settling on a SE original.
I use my x10 with google nav all day long as i am a service engineer and i have found the only way to get it to work for a full day is to mount it directly infront of one of the air vents blowing cold air over it while plugged in to the charger. Without this the phone will get too hot and start discharging especially on a warm day.
Using 2g and low brightness can help as well.

Yeah, I learned how crazy heat will build up in this phone if using it for nav a few weeks back, when in about 75 minutes of driving I drained my battery fully and the phone was registering at 54°C from sitting on my sun-beaten dash while navigating.
I thinking I'm going to try to build some sort of shade over my car holder to keep the X10 out of the sun, and maybe help channel some of the AC more directly onto it.
unplugged my phone at 8 read xda forum for 5 mins got to work right now 943 already at 89 percent. Does this seem normal? I been checking better battery stats but don't really understand it.

I think I know what the problem is: Your phone is trying to kill itself and save humanity from that terrible font
seems like a bit much but it could be normal.
Once your phone's charge reaches 100% it stops charging to prevent damage to the Lithium-ion battery. I am not sure however when it starts charging again.
Mine charge % dips even when I am using plugged in! Horrible consumption with screen on.

Are you using the Samsung OEM home charger? It shouldn't be dipping when using that one. Mine will charge AND increase while using it in the car with GPS running (huge battery drainer) and a driving DVR program (DailyRoads Voyager) and the screen on. All with a car charger and cheater plug that shorts Pin 2&3. That's the secret to getting rapid charge to work. The OEM home charger has those pins shorted internally. If you are trying to charge over USB on your computer then again you need that cheater plug and ensure the USB port can support more than 700 mA. If it's a USB 3.0 port then it should handle that current.
No problems for me on the stock or aftermarket chargers with the screen on.
I have the same problem with my brand new I717 GN. Battery level slowly drops when on charge, even if it's the OEM wall adapter. I've tried my Kindle USB cables as well with about the same results. I noticed the charge is a bit stronger from the wall source, but still can't keep up with even simple web browsing via WiFi. I've installed JuiceDefender as well, and it's helped reduce depletion a bit, but not really enough. This phone would never last me a full day of intermittent use without a power source.
I've read several of these threads and there doesn't really seem to be a solid solution to this other than some GN owners saying they have the problem and some don't...
Someone mentioned a crosswired 'Smart Adapter Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S' on Amazon (I'm too new and can't post the link)... I might try that but maybe I'll return for a new one if some people don't have this battery problem, unless it turns out to be a latest firmware problem..?

he mentioned it and linked it 2 posts above you
ive thanked him, and guess about to buy
just that shipping cost more than the item itself, sheesh
I read an article in a journal recently about how smartphones charge their batteries. The article claimed that once the charge has reached 100%, it will stop providing current to the device until it reaches 90%, after which it will then trickle charge to maintain it at about 90%. All the while the battery meter will still show 100% (at least in the case of iPhones), but after you unplug the phone the first 10% will go rather quickly as it approaches the real charge level.
True for our notes? No idea. But with how Lithium batteries work, I wouldn't be surprised.
I haven't gotten my Note to discharge while plugged in with the OEM AC charger. In the car however, running Waze will suck the life out of it even while charging. (My car charger puts out about 150mA less than the OEM AC charger). Oddly enough, running Navigon on battery alone has less discharge than running Waze while plugged in...Which sucks, because while Waze has crappy directions, it has saved me many hours by routing around traffic. But at least the phone still charges while using Navigon and streaming some Pandora.
(I thought I asked this recently but can't find the post)
OK ... first off GPS / Nav works.
The issue is first off in car use cigarette plug charger, when as a phone only (or playing music via BT) all OK .. battery keeps topped up.
However if I use SatNav the battery cannot keep up .... even though it says charging it slowly discharges ..
I read here some car adapters don't give out full mA current, (that SGS can take) to be 100% sure, I went and bought a 1.5A USB adapter and still the same ... no problem until I switch on SatNav ... then it starts draining ... a couple of % every 15min.
I assume this is simply down to screen taking so much current .... but in very simple terms the phone should be able to keep up via charge when SatNav is enabled.
Anybody got a fix for this ? (screen dimming is enabled)
Ok seems that I am not the only one that is seeing this.
I've owned the S2 for a week and it feels very weird coming from HTC products.
It charges sloooooooow. Also I noticed that battery monitor shows weird values were on the Desire HD it was giving rock solid logical numbers in aspect of Voltage and current.
The s2 sometimes gives me 80% at 3,952 Volts and after a 40min drive 78% and ... 4,012 Volts. It is not stable at all
Just checking the stats in the batt monitor tool.
23:21 at 70% and 3,986 Volts while at 9:00 at 82% and 3,981 Volts.
It doesn't make any sense at all to me
From what I have read is that the charging controller of the S2 is only capable to charge up to a rate of 650mA while the HTC charged at 1000mA (0,65A vs 1A).
Now today I switched off wifi while driving and then it seemed to be very slowly charging. Give that a try and let us know.
Different types of chargers charge at different rates. Mains charges at 650mA, but USB and misc are around 450/550mA. If you're rooted you can change the charging currents in ExTweaks/Voltage Control/setCPU/whatever, however USB is limited as to what it can output anyway, and if you try and force too high a current through, things start to fry.

You would not use a Mains charger when using SatNa
It would be a basic requirement that SatNav use in car would be able to keep charged with a USB charger.?
As the same micro USB port is used, how does, phone know its not on Mains?
In answer to above Q ..Wifi is off, I always turn it off when I enable BT.

As always using waze on my trip to work which takes about 50min.
Started at 58% and went up to 65% when I arrived.

Here is a simple Q then (maybe I'm naive) .. I am not using USB data port to charge, but a car USB charger point (no chance of any data)
Would charger manufacturers not have this 'short; in place as they are making chargers only ?
If not can you provide any details how to do this ... chargers have plenty of current, be good to get phone to use what it can of this.
dont know how to fix your issue but just to let you know its normal for the phone. Im always on my sat nav with a car charger and never been issues with losing any power. Quite often it comes off charge with more than it was plugged in with.
Hmmm.... I'm using original Blackberry car charger for both BB 9700 and SGS 2.
Yes, it charges slow, but with BT and GPS on it does gain on charge/percentage.

I have now purchased a new lead and charger (to be sure)
Running the App it shows "Charging AC Plugged"
It cannot keep up with current demand when Bluetooth & GPS active ... slowly discharges.
I have had the S2 for about a month now.
Seems like Sygic is the only GPS soft which I tried that doesn't hit the cpu 100% all the time.
I did a test over the weekend and with everything 'on' it slowly charged the phone.
yes
yeah, battery monitor will let you know that.
also suffered from this in the past
I have had the discharge problem using sat nav (Copilot live premium) and a car charger (various car chargers actually). Stock S2 with generic UK firmware. The problem exists on 4.03 and 4.04 - not sure about previous GB as updated to ICS as soon as I bought the phone.
I have found that if I apply battery save mode and turn down the screen brightness the charge just about holds station.
But the strangest thing I have found, although reading around I have not seen it mentioned elsewhere, is that if I enable mobile data the phone charges just fine whilst using sat nav. The problem only arises when I disable the data connection. This came to my attention whilst abroad where I deactivated data to avoid preposterous roaming charges.
This rather implies to me that something is trying to use the mobile data connection when it is deactivated and is causing battery drain when it can't. This could be any app of course, but the problem only rears its head when I use the sat nav (power hungry) with the mobile data turned off.
Has anyone else noticed this? Any advice on narrowing down which app/process this might be would be welcome.

Sorry for bumping into this thread but I think I can help.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think your question is:
-Battery charging cannot keep up with discharging rate while using GPS and Bluetooth.
Reason for this problem:
-This occurs because usb charging further is lower than charging via wall charger, hence the battery heroes discharging when the demand is higher than the charging rate.
Solution:
-we need to increase usb charging current to equals the Ac charging current
How is that possible:
1.Root access is needed. If you don't already have root access key me know
2.custom kernel needed.
-You need to flash one of, Siyah, Dorimanx or dream kernel.
-Any of these kernels has the option to increase usb charging current
-move to 3. If you are already running any of the listed kernels.
3.after flashing the custom kernel, install extweaks from market.
-open extweaks
-under "misc", change the charging current to option 3.
Done

I advise not to do that because:
It will not solve this problem as charging from AC is already detected by the device (see above).
The option is dangerous and will enable (if working at all) charging with the higher current limits from any USB port.
good to know

These phones seem to have sensitive heat throttling, mine charges slow when running Waze and music at the same time. Try placing it in front of your AC vent and see if keeping it cool speeds up charging.

Well mine is right in front of the A/C grill
Will try to use different charger today
Not sure what would be causing it, but there should still be no problem with it keeping up. For reference, I run my 9+ at auto brightness in the car, running Torque Pro, Waze, and Pandora full time to work and back, 40+ minutes each way. I have a Verizon branded charger that I got with my V30 back in Nov, and it has no issue not only keeping up, but also charging it up. I easily get a minimum of 15% or more charging just in that time.
I order me another charger . Will come in couple days . Anker 24W ,3.0
That one according Android Police one of the best chargers for our phone. Will see

Anyone else experience slow to almost non existent charging speed if the phone has been on for a few hours?
The only way it goes back to charging fast is if I restart the phone while its plugged into a charger.
I have tried using the stock charger and aftermarket ones and different cables as well. Makes no difference until restart.
Chime in if anyone has any idea whats happening and/or how to fix it.
PS: I am unlocked and rooted if that matters.
Is the screen off? Having the screen on during charging will skew the charge cycle.
Does it charge normally when shutdown?
Possible battery, charging port, or mobo failure.
Check phone for any signs of battery swelling.
Same issue here. Got the phone today, charges sloooow by USC-C as well as QI... Although it shows "fast charging" in settings. I will check, if it's better after a reboot.

Doesnt matter if the screen is on or off, I even left overnight and gained like 8% charge.
Battery seems to hold a charge fine, there is no swelling and discharge behavior is normal. Used to charge normally a few days ago.

SOT has it diminished significantly?
Charging at a start temperature above 72°F?
If so it sounds like a charge port or mobo failure... sorry.
Try clearing the system cache and a hard reboot.
Try toggling fast charging on/off 3 times.

Ill have to check the temp next time I am at room temp. I was playing some COD so I was over 80F when I started charging just now. Did not have to restart so maybe its good.

Make sure the port is clean and free of debris.
Inspect and carefully clean* if needed with a toothbrush and a small amount of anhydrous isopropyl alcohol.
Lol, RO water if needed than the alcohol.
Allow to dry completely.
*I live in a dusty environment and even after 2 years never had to clean my C port. However my bdu cargo pants pockets are lint free, not all pants pockets are. In general these ports seem to stay clean but you know how that goes...
Same here. Did someone find a solution?
In my case it just normalized itself after a few days of usage... strange thing was, that the slow charging affected both, usb and qi charging.
Glad you fixed.
Btw maybe intelligent charging. If phone can't detect a time where you don't use it it have problem adapting charging speed. If you change everyday the moment you put it on charge better deactivate that option
If I may continue this thread, I have another question about the charging. Is it possible to disable fast charging?
I only charge at night so I don't need my phone to warm up from quick charge. On my old Samsung Galaxy Note 9 I could do it, but now I can't find the setting.
Thanks.

The only harmful part of the charge cycle on this phone is the top-off, and you can adjust that. You could use a 5W charger but I doubt it would extend the life.
More beneficial is checking other threads for features that may drain (add wear to) the battery.

Simply use a 12 watt or less brick.
Fast charging needs a compatible 25w brick and cable (Samsung). In most phones it has to be enabled. Disabling fast charging is easy... enabling it sometimes is not

The whole point of having a feature is to use it when needed. If I am in a hurry I want to activate 30W charging with a single toggle in the settings. I don't have to bring two different power bricks, one 5W, one 30W, and manually switch between them.

you should get a new phone it's the only way to fix it because it's broken and you can't fix it when it's like that.
