[Q] "Fast Charging" and auto-rotation questions - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Just got my S6 Edge from ATT here.
I've been hearing many accelerometer problems and some people say that it has to do with the quick/fast charging thing.
While everything's working with my phone, including the accelerometer and auto-rotation, I would like to just regularly charge my phone
if that makes any sense? (Just to be safe and sure)
Need some clarification I guess:
Is there a way to regularly charge the phone with just the default cable and charger?
Is there a way to disable the fast charging option?
Does it automatically start fast charging with the default wall charger?
Or is it the default usb cable that came in the box that enable the fast charging?
I guess I could just plug it in to my PC's USB slot but I think that would be slower in general than a wall charger.
So if anyone could shed some light on this, I would greatly appreciate it.
(P.S. I have not charged my phone at all since I got it a couple hours ago, waiting for it to drain completely and then charge)

Sometimes won't charge if plugged in

I've had my N6 for about two weeks now, and lately I've noticed it doesnt charge once I plug it in, I'll go to sleep and a few hours later its still at the same percentage, I check the battery stats page and it shows "Not Charging" I unplug it for a few seconds and the Charging icon sticks as like the phone thinks its still "charging". Another issue I've noticed just now today, it says itll take 4 hours to charge from 56%! Only way for me to fix these issues it is to restart the phone and itll work, mind you this issue only happens sometimes. Although I will say I plugged my LG G2 into the Turbo Charger, so IDK if that affects the charger in any way?
Does anyone else experience this? If this is something no one has I'm planning to swap the device out for another one.
Running SinLess ROM v1.0.3
what charger are you using for your n6? and where are you plugging into? wall or usb?

This may seem obvious but try a different cable. I had a cable that, when plugged in, my phone would say is charging but doesn't actually charge.
I've had my nexus 6 for a couple weeks now and the first time this happened I was using a wireless charge so I thought I didn't have it placed on the mat right. But it happened again last night whilst plugged into an AC charger. The AC charger is an LG charger from a previous Nexus. When I look at the battery graph it just flat lines for the whole time it was plugged in.

My turbo charger is doing the same thing the OP said. We have 2 6's and it also happened to my wife's the other day too. I thought it might have initially been a cable too so I changed that out and it happened to the second charging cable last night as well.
Just experienced this
I use the turbo charger also and just experienced this. I was at 25 % after playing injustice (which just murders this battery) and plugged in the USB and I looked back 5 minutes later at I was at 22 %. So I killed Injustice and waited about 5 minutes more and I was at 19%. I had to reboot to get charging and after 5 minutes of charging I was at 29% so it is weird stuff.
I've been noticing this as well, but my charger is an aftermarket charger by Tenergy (Amazon link), and I'm using an aftermarket cable. Missed my alarm this morning because the phone must have not actually been charging, even though the N6 always shows that it is charging. I haven't tested it thoroughly with the stock charger as I keep that next to my workstation, but it seems that others are having this issue even with the included charger. Frustrating, to say the least.
Same thing with my N6 on 5.1. I would say that 20% of the time i plug in it shows charging but doesn't charge, just maintains the battery at whatever percentage it was when i plugged it in.
I don't have to restart but rather just unplug and re plug in the charger, then monitor for a couple of minutes to make sure the battery is going up and if so it will charge normally.
I also have tried a few different chargers including the quick charger that came with the phone. same result.
the same. here
I have the same issue while charging n6 with Motorola terboxharger ... But it takes 3 h while charging with any other chargers .....any updates !!!

Wow, same here.... only just started to notice it. Using turbo charger as well...however upon using a normal charger, it seems to always charge. it it something with the turbo charger?
Yea it seems to be turbo charger problem , but how come I bought it just one month ago !!
I started noticing the same issue recently. I'd say it started after upgrading to 5.1. I'm using the stock turbo charger. I found a workaround that, so far, fixes it for me (3 nights in a row at least).
After plugging in the phone, I notice the battery icon shows it is charging. If I actually go into the battery settings though, it says it is NOT charging. If I unplug the charging cable and plug it back in while still in the battery settings page (you know, with the usage graph), then it starts charging just fine up until I get a full charge. As long as I do this each time, I seem to get a full charge. Annoying, yes. But not as annoying as waking up to à phone that never charged.
Sometimes it won't charge when it's not plugged in either
For my N6 to charge, I need to push the TC USB cable a little downwards for my phone to charge. Sometimes, it doesn't even charge at all. I'm considering to RMA this, if I can do it here in Norway.
my nexus 6 has different behaviours, if I charge it when it is turned on sometimes it stops the charging and I need to disconnect and reconnect the cable and charging starts again, so i need to be careful because i can't be sure that my phone will charge completely if i leave it alone. if I charge it when it is turned off sometimes it starts to restart continuously showing battery in the screen again and again, without charging. hopefully this happens sometimes, i dont really like this bug, i spent so much money for buying it and i dont want to control if my phone is charging or not when I plugged it, i just want to put in charging and coming bac when it is flly charged.
RMA it
I hope the first thing anybody does is check the charging port and make sure there's nothing in there. Take a strong, sharp toothpick and carefully dig anything out that shouldn't be there. Pocket fuzz etc...
I am having this same issue, my phone is brand new yesterday, running 5.0, I have these exact issues, seems to be only with the turbo charger because I use a slow charger for overnight next to my bed and the battery was full. But I can't seem to make the percentage actually go up with the turbo charger without restarting the phone first.
Any more info on this very annoying bug??
can't seem to figure it out
i have the same issue - my N6 is a couple of months old and it started on an overnight (not) charge. Now it's happening 1 in 2 charges so it's getting worse. I cleaned the connection, tried different cables, USB chargers and plugging into the laptop - no dice. It's going back to Google - annoying...

Fast Charging not working

Hi all,
I've looked through several threads before making this one, but couldn't find a solution to my problem. I've got a Tmobile 32GB Note 5 that never had any problems with fast charging and as of today, it no longer fast charges. I've got several OEM fast charger adapters/cables along with the fast wireless charger and none of them are fast charging my phone. I've cleared the cache partition, done a factory reset and nothing seems to be working. I've also made sure that the option to fast charge are turned on in the battery section and no dice. It used to display a toggle to fast wireless charge in the battery settings as well, but that option doesn't appear anymore.
One other interesting thing is that whenever I'd connect the cable I'd get the USB message which never appeared before. Even when I did restarts, the USB message would always appear in the notification despite no USB cable being plugged in.
I'm very frustrated about this as I've been trying to work what's causing this problem and I've tried most tips/solutions, but having no luck.
Any help would be appreciated and thank you.

hi,
Firstly, i dont think i could give you a positive
answer to your issue, but maybe some pointers
to consider.....?
Ok, Secondly i found that fast charging does not
always have a positive effect on your battery. eg battery life
Even more frustrating when your battery is sealed
and if you want to ever change the battery , you have to pay Samsung /service provider to do the job.!
Thirdly, i had similar issues(like you) with fast charging my Note 4 and Note5.
My Note5 also suddenly stopped fast charging and
would only "cable charge " (re Notifications bar)
I tried all sorts of settings combination, nothing worked. Like you i became frustrated because I could not sortt issue out.
A few months afterwards i swapped my usb power cord around and used my old Note 4 usb cord... suddenly fast charging, was back?
(Why i dont know, as i did try out different combinations.... then.)
Ever since i started to take note/ (info) of the effects on battery fast charging. eg Forum members experience and remarks, my own personal experiences Web articles//opinions etc.
Came to conclusions fast charging , will /could shorten you phone battery life eventually? Not good.
I think even Samsung realizes it (my opinion)
So now i have my fast charging back, i mostly cable charge.!
Good luck

i have the same problem but just removed the charger activate the power saving mode connect again the charger.once the fast charging is working u can deactivate the power saving mode.repeat the process if its not working.

quick charge issue.

Hi anyone has problem with quick charge? I noticed that last night that when plugged in its charging in normal mode. I tried to move cable a bit in socket and plug again few times and after few attempts it worked as quick charge. I noticed that my USB plug seems quite loose in charging port.

The charging port (on the phone) is kinda shaky-but-tight fit on my phone too.
As soon as you plug in a charger, You see "Charging"..
And after device sleeps, you give it a few seconds and then you wake it up, it shows "charging rapidly"..
Additionally, I see this charging rapidly message - only when it is in certain battery charge percentage (withing 30-80%)
Which implies, in my opinion - that they have made sure that the device charges rapidly only when it's not working. (for heat issues, maybe)
If that's intended, I guess, that will really help with battery longevity.
Cheers,
Sony.

Ok just checked it and yeah looks like it. Yeah I'm just not worried about the port as it is shaky but yeah fit well. Thanks for help!
I have had an issue since 8.1. Returned phone to Nokia who and back with no fault found but was told to wait for July update or replace charger or cable. Definite issue.

"slow" , "cable", "fast" charging

I have the note 8 for 1.3 years (battery Has been replaced 2 mount ago).
Few months ago I started to charging the phone with fast charging off and the notification was "cable charging" and on the lock screen "charging: XX%".
But today for the first time, when I plugged in the charger I got message "“slow charging: Make sure charger is properly connected. Use charger that came with the device.”, and the notification was "slow charging". I wanted to make sure I didn't "lost" fast charge so I turned on fast charge, plug in the charger and fast charge was on. now I turn off fast charging, and I get "cable charging". There is any way to control "slow" and "cable" charge with Samsung charger? because I don't think there is a difference between "cable" and "fast" charging.
someone know what can be the reason it happened suddenly?
Try booting your device into Recovery Mode and wiping the Cache Partition. That should resolve your issue.

Cable might have gone bad. That's the only time I ever got that message. I replaced the cable only, now everything is charging properly again.
thanks I'll try if it happen again.

Question about fast charging on the Note 9

Hi...
For a while now I've had a problem with my Note 9 only displaying that it is regular charging when plugged into my fast charger plug and cable. I tried a numbr of troubleshooting steps from restarting, cleaning the port, trying safe mode, buying replacement fast charger and cable, factory settings, rooting but it still only showed as cable charging so I became convinced it was a physical problem with the port. Wireless fast charging continues to work as it should.
I recently installed AccuBattery and when plugged into my fast charger/cable, the charge current completely fills the the green bar to between 1800-2000 mA so now I'm beginning to wonder whether fast charging is working ok, but the phone is reporting it incorrectly.
Does anyone else know what kind of charge current the Note 9 should have when cable fast charging please? Also, just out of curiosity, what should it be when wirelessly fast charging too please?
Thanks for any help...

I know this is ridiculous question. Did you enable it in battery setting?

I started charging at 25%. With screen on I got 2700mah.
I left my phone off for 15 mins and stayed at that 2700mah average.
When I turned my phone screen on, I had 45% but screen on charge dropped to 1000mah.
If you look at the bottom of my screenshot, it explains why you need to turn your screen off to get accurate fast charge Numbers. Your phone might throttle the screen on charge if a certain criteria is met.
Once again. Did you enable it in the settings?
I am eagerly awaiting your response... [emoji3]

Thanks for the reply.
Hmmm the numbers you get do seem to suggest there is an issue with my phone. The screen off speeds are around the same as screen on.
Samsung quoted about £10,000,000 to repair as it's rooted and they have to replace the entire board to satisfy their warranty terms.
May have a go at replacing the charging port myself.
Thanks again :good:

I don't use fast charging, ever. So that's probably why my port still works. I have gotten so much dirt in it and cleaned it out it isn't even funny. So I'm less 6 to believe that fast charging is what ruins the port not debris.
A lot of people who use fast charging have the same issue as you-,it burns out the port.
Honestly, my advice is to love with fast charging over wireless and not spend a billion dollars replacing the port. Wait until it's time to replace the battery in a year or two and do it then. Fast charging over cable only saves you 30-40 minutes. I can charge and do charge my phone normally and it only takes around an hour and 40 minutes.
