fast charging issue? - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

hi guys, my problem is when i charge my phone on fast charging using original charging adapter it shows (fast charging for only 10-15m) after that it turns to cable charging and I'm still on Oreo no root, is that a hardware issue?
tried:
- cleaning the charging port
- factory reset
- flashing a new firmware
- tried another adapter and cable.
any suggestions? thank you

Maybe temps are to hot so it switches down to a less heating method for battery protection ...in the summer the fast recharging often doesn't work because temps are to high. To be sure, you can even try another cable (because adapters give rarely these problems but cables often get broken inside for bending them or the USBs plugs get worn for using it) when having the problem and if the result is the same, the reason is the one I explained. This thing happens even to other models so I don't think there's a software problem (as I know, never happened for this) so wipes are not necessary.

so there is a heating method for battery protection? i didn't know that, well it's too hot this summer in my country and my phone going too hot when I'm charging, i didn't have this problem in the winter time so that's the cause. thank you bro for your help.

More the charge gets fast, more the battery gets hot especially if using the phone for something else while charging. In the summer, when the hoter outside temps gets the battery even more hot then it normally should be , to protect the battery (because it might even explode if to hot) in these cases software slows down charging. This happens for all models and even if it's true that cables often get broken slowing down chargings, a lot of people change unnecessarily there cables in these periods because don't know about the temp protection...
This is not a rule for the summer, but for everytime the battery gets hoter then an established temp so, it might happen even in winter if necessary .

i will turn fast charging off at this time for safety, even there is no much difference in charging time, anyway the note 9 fast charging is no good at all.. thank you for you advise bro.

Good thing doing this even for another reason : since having my phone, I used fast charge only a couple of times because I needed the extra speed for not having anough time to do the normal one. This because fast charge stresses the battery a lot so it's durability drammactly goes down if using it for every day charging and you will replace it sooner compared to using it after using only the normal charging for everyday usage . Sorry, but I don't agree... Don't think it's not good or worst than others because note 9's fast charge is coming out from the other previous models (S9, S8 ecc) and like for them, used when necessary is the best thing to do for having a long life battery and I'm also convinced that it's meant to be used when necessary.

If this problem occurred after update?

Overcharging Xperia SP

Hello all, first I want to say that Xperia SP is my first smartphone so there are many things that still a question for me. I want to ask, is it overcharging the Xperia SP can cause damage to the battery? Because some people said it could damage the batteries and some people said no it doesn’t damage the battery. So which one is true?

You can't overcharge a phone, heck! I even put my phone on the charger ALL NIGHT, at least 10 hours (LOL) its connected. The USB charger turns on and off as necessary. Also, you dont need to charge the phone for over 8 or 12 hours, that was for prehistoric batteries of the 90s
What damages batteries is letting them discharge a lot like 5 or 10 percent.
Do a research about Li-Ion batteries, or any other Lithium battery and you'll find how to take a little care for those batteries. Basicalle: Never let the batteries fully discharge and do not overheat them. If you live in a very hot city like Mexicali, Phoenix, Las Vegas or any other place that gets temperatures up to 45 or more degrees celcius, avoid using the phone outdoors. (120°F)

Nowadays all smartphones have a smal charging circuit board that uses simple operational amplifier logic to cut power going to the battery when its level is more that 100%.Thus stopping battery from being damaged by overcharging.
But when you leave it on the socket and it is full when the battery drops at 99% it will start charging so remember that as an extra piece of information.

So, does this is the same when we connect the smartphone to the computer? Because if we connect the smartphone to the computer, the smartphone will also recharge. Will it stop the charging when it 100% too?

Yeah the safety board is inside the phone so wherever you connect it when it reaches 100% it will stop charging.(even when you plug it in your PC)
As for Xperia SP personally i cant charge it from my PC.When i use it with wifi on the battery barely manages to stay at the same level and it often discharges when charging!!!
Even with software verification the phone draws 500 ma maximum load (the phone charger provides 850 which is significantly more).If the phone needs more than that it will recharge and when it needs less it will charge (but in slow rate)
So bottom line dont charge it with you PC if you need a fast charge! (and dont worry about overcharging)

So overcharging it will not destroy it? I often overcharge my Sony Xperia SP because I'm oversleep. At first it doesn't make any diffrence but last night I overcharged it again and the diffrence is so drastic. You said if the battery is 100% it will automatically stop charging, does it mean the power (charging) is off? So if the case like that where the electric gonna be transfer by the charger? Because I see it still charge like normal and overcharger not gonna destroy the charger? I want to replace my battery but I have to know for sure about this first
The charger is not in danger at all.The only thing the charger does is constantly providing the phone with 5 v. When the phone's battery drops to 99 % its draws current from the charger.
Also leaving the phone overnight to charge is not going to totally destroy your battery!Because its needs quite few minutes to drop while not in use so the 99 to 100 % cycle is not going to be repeated above 5 times! So bottom line ... its not harmful to charge your phone overnight. But if you have 100 % battery and leave it in the charger the battery performance will drop through the years and i bet it will not be noticeable at all!

We need something like this.

Obviously not this particular one, but something to split the micro usb so we can charge the phone while using the VR, which is my only real issue with it, aside from phone warming up pretty bad.
It probably would be easier to modify headset itself and build charging port into headset or some kind flat cable with microusb on one end and another end could fit betwen battery and phone contacts or maybe someone discovered which are charging pins under back cover (used by charging back)

Agreed, really wish samsung would have added charging, the only real downfall of the VR.
How about the QI mod I've seen people talk about? Seems like a good idea, basically just stick the pad in the front of the visor, aside from health risks from doing this lol, I'm worried that the VR will drain the battery faster than the QI charger will charge, but if anyone has any experience with it, I'm all ears!
Hopefully, the next version of the VR will allow charging.
They need to figure out the overheating before dealing with the charging if its hot already, imagine how much worse it would be while charging! At least we can quick charge!

There were concerns about people strangling themselves while charging the phone with a cable. And the additional heat is probably also a factor.

Well the samsung demo booth had a battery with a cord and a special cover with a hole in it. The cord was mainly for security (the battery screamed when removed from the phone, which the guy setting it up had to do to reboot it occasionally), but I'm pretty sure it also supplied power, since it was the only one in the booth and the thing was running all day long. We might be able to make our own usb-powered battery blank. Not only can we then do external power, but it should also help remove some heat. If there's enough room you could even add a peltier
I know its more money but invest in the official battery kit. If you're serious about using VR it's really the smartest option especially if you're showing off at a party.
I was watching this live YouTube stream and the guy was killing me with his low battery issues. It takes a minute to swap for hours of entertainment. And your depleted battery is charging as well. I bought mine at bestbuy because Samsung is always out of stock.

Where to get replacement batteries

Oneplus 3 is an awesome phone no doubt (if you don't damage it). However with the dash charging, there's a high chance we might need replacement batteries for the phone after a year or two.
Does anyone know where we would be able to obtain dash capable batteries for replacement? It would be a great disappointment if we are not able to replace it.
*it is a concern because at least in Singapore, there is 0 support despite purchasing a local set. You will be given an email to make an appointment to bring your set down to a location, but NO ONE will respond to your email. Oneplus Singapore Facebook as well as official reseller do not provide any support either.
Why would Dash Charge wreck the battery? Afterall if anything the phone heats up less than other phones, because the charging is handled by the adapter, not the phone.

You have a point there. However, batteries will eventually degrade, so it would be great to be able to do a replacement when the time comes

Most damage to a battery is done at night when you charge a phone when you've gone to sleep, as the charger will put it to 100% and keep it there throughout the night, which puts more strain on the battery. (just look into Sony Qnovo battery charging tech in their new phones).
The dash charger has been proven to change people's charging habits. For example I wake up at 7.30am to go to work at 9am, as soon as I wake up I put my phone on charge. Thus meaning it stays at 100% for less time, and so degrades slower.
just keep your battery b/w 40-80% and it's all good

Awesome! However, the battery capacity seems to be much lower than 3000mah
Stay away from buying non oem batteries. You don't want your phone to be the next Note 7 lol.
Again you wont need a new battery. It degrade really slow. The problem with fastcharging is heat. Batteries dont like heat. Also charging overnight is bull**** since it stops charging when its 100%. Again it doesnt matter what you do.. If u drain it to 0% its not fully empty so really doesnt matter!

Personally I change battery ever 1.5 to 2 years. Batteries have a lifespan and degrade over time. It degrades faster with heat. It's quite disappointing that no one is sellong replacements though.

Exactly. The controller stops the current flow at full charge. It will not top it up if you keep it plugged in such as in the overnight scenario.

The model number on eBay is BLP607.
You'll need BLP613 for OP3.
Maybe after a longer time there will be more replacements, if there aren't already.
If the OnePlus's battery it good I don't see a need for a replacement personality because I change phone after 2 years, when factory support ends and I'm tired of the phone.
I am pretty sure you can't wait to buy a new one before the battery degrade to an unacceptable level.
Like my OnePlus 1, which still has a quite decent battery time, though it has already become my son's toy.
So, don't worry about this too much.
Majority of the users will replace their phones instead of a degraded battery within 2 years. Unless the battery is defective then yea that would be understandable. If you are one the minority who upgrades every 3+ years then kudos to yall for having the will power to resist the upgrade fever.
is there no one who works at one plus and also uses xda?
that dude can help us in getting batteries from the supplier of one plus.
I am using my xperia ZL since 2013. i changed its battery a while ago. now i feel it is time to change my device. moving on to one plus 3 soon.
I think my OnePlus 3 battery is pretty broaken already. Last me for around 4 houers so i need to recharge it several times a day.
I cant find a original battery, so ill probably have to get a not OEM one

Phone becoming hot while charging

Hi guys so the note 9 is becoming hot while charging it has started happening the last couple of days. When I first got the phone on release it would never get hot. Any ideas?
Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk
Have you noticed any change in charging times? That heat = wasted electricity which has to come from somewhere. There is only two places that heat could be coming from (afaik) are the processor or battery and it's charging circuity. Could be that the phone is doing a bunch of updates when you plug in the charger, if you have auto updates on or perhaps you had fast charging turned off before.
No updates phone has all connectivity turned off back gets really hot and yesterday the charger stopped charging the phone so I got the charger brick replaced and charges fine but seems very slow to charge and fast battery discharge

Turn off fast charging. I believe, even normal slow charging is fast compared to iphone 8 plus fast charging.
charging any device while it's on will probably produce some heat.
just seems logical and I don't consider it an issue worth worrying about. it all depends of what your measure of hot is.
if your cable, port and charger are all mint, then all should be good.
if your cat bit the cable then look no further.
your alternative:
shut phone off and charge it.
it won't heat and probably charge in 20-30 mins to full charge from 0%
if it still got hot while charging at off then you may have hardware issue with equipment/phone

The heat is caused by the charging process, so the phone should heat up whether it's turned on or not. The voltage has to be dropped from the 5/9V input down to the ~4V that the phone battery charges to and that is not a 100% efficient process. The internal resistance of the battery itself also causes some heat.
Also there's no way you'd charge a Note 9 from 0 - 100% in 20-30 mins. Even factoring in no charging efficiency loss, you're looking at 51 minutes to charge a 15.4Wh battery with the 18W from the Samsung charger.

I dont need any convincing lol
but the heat we can actually perceive on the phone case while it's on versus it's off is 2 things. dont think we can feel it while it's off. if I crack the phone open and touch the battery then yes obviously.
now for the 0 to a 100 in 20 to 30 mins while phone is off, I'll time it. but I'm pretty sure I'm not off by that much. again I'm not the one needing convincing in this thread.

Your phone should be almost exactly as hot whether it's turned on and not being used or turned off. The tiny amount of energy it takes to run a phone while it's dozing is nothing compared to the amount of energy dumped into the phones body while it's charging.
I'll happily test it but unless the charger suddenly starts outputting more than twice the rated amount of power into the phone when it is turned off, it's just not physically possible. Not trying to convince you, just trying to correct misinformation.

Mine is becoming a little hot while in wireless charging pad, and after complete the charge (at 100%)
That is normal however it should cool down once your battery level is charged above the 50% mark.
Try installing a battery log app. I use this one and it records battery temp so you can look at that after it is done charging to see how hot it actually got.

S20FE 4G (Exynos) Charging Speed

Hi everyone,
I recently purchased S20FE 4G in India. I also purchased a 25W charger from Samsung.
I'm very disappointed with the charging speeds.
I switched off and charged and these are my results:
25W took 1hr25min to charge 5to100%
15W took 1hr38min to charge 5to100%
I even formatted my device but no improvement.
Can you guys mention your charging speeds?
What can I do as service centers are closed due to lockdown.
Thank you.

It should hit close to 5000ma at times with 25 w brick in the 20-70% charge range.
In that range you should be seeing 2600-5000ma.
Fast charging will noticeably start ramping down at 70-75% and will completely slow charge after 90%. Best to stop charging at 70-80%.
If the start temperature is too low it will revert to slow charging for the entire cycle.
Best start temp is 85-90°F.
Cool it if it starts getting near 100F.
Use a known good Samsung OEM 25w brick/cable.
Try toggling to fast charging switch on/off 3 times.
Factory resets* will do nothing except waste time.
Clear system cache, try a hard reboot.
Watch for any signs of bulging on the front and especially back of the phone. Li's can fail at any point in their life. A failed Li will fast charge erratically and have reduced capacity. Any swelling means it needs replaced asap before it damages the display or worse.
*a major firmware update is the exception

I'm hoping for a software update to fix this bug. My 25W never goes beyond 4000mAh.
It takes 1hr25min to charge from 5to100% when the mobile is off.

It takes 1hr25min to charge from 5to100% when the mobile is off.
Should I downgrade to March patch using odin?

4000 ma is acceptable.
Having the screen on will skew the charge cycle, don't.
It takes much longer to charge past 80%
Temperature parameters can greatly alter fast charging times.
Don't routinely discharge past 20%, 40% is a better cutoff.
Charging to 100% is slow and the most stressful thing you can do to an Li except for... doing a full charge cycle charge (5-100%)
If you're seeing roughly a 2%@min charge most of the time in the 40-70% range it's likely fast charging normally.

I see 1%/min charge. Around 40-70% it increases to 1.5%/min.
Overall charging is slow. I've seen more than 10 owners complain about their S20FE.
It's a software issue after April update in India.

Try reverting Device Care and Device Health Care to factory load.
My Rule #1 if your OS platform is running fast, stable and fulfilling its mission... let it be.
I'm still running my N10+ on Pie, zero issues.
Too many firmware updates skew the stew

Yeah I've learned that the hard way more then once! Firmware updates can (and do) cause permanent damage to the device with a reflash being your only recourse. This can get real messy too.
In reality even outdated Android OS's rarely get infected unless you do something really stupid.
Any OS that is Pie or above is immune to the worst rootkits that can cause "unremovable" infections.
As you can see even a factory reset caused by malware be less trouble than a buggy firmware update to fix.
Always backup your critical data at least 2X on 2 or more hdds that are physically and electronically isolated.
Crashes are rare but they happen.
"I lost all my images, help me..." threads are too common here. There's are no magic time machines and no help☠
