Fast Charging issue/question

samcraig · Sep 29, 2015

Anyone else with a Note 5 have an "issue" that when the phone is plugged in - sometimes it just says regular charging? Sometimes I have to unplug/plug back in to get it to switch to fast charging.

Wondered if it was a known issue, something with my charger (or phone) specifically.

I plugged mine in a few times after reading your post and it always says fast charging on the pull down.

I have that issue!! I do the same thing unplug it and then plug it back up and then it reads fast charging

Are you guys talking about somewhere else other than the drop down notification?

I am talking the drop down. @siblues

Is it only happening below 50% and is the amount of time till full charge matching the slow charge?

Mdraej99 · Sep 29, 2015

Yeah its in the drop down notifications and it sometimes says charging and then switches to fast charging... sometimes it doesn't switch until I unplug it and plug it back in! And I don't charge until its about 10%

My guess is it all depends on how full the battery is charged initially &/or overall phone temperature,with the charging rate slowing down as the phone heats up to a certain point &/or for a specific amount of time.
Again,just a guess...................

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. I charge around the same %. And I literally unplug/plug back in and it will go from 4 hours (normal charge) to saying fast chart (an hour or so). It's like sometimes it registers that the charger is a fast charger and other times it doesn't.

It's about 70/30 or 80/20 in favor of being accurate. The other 20-30% of the time I have to do the unplug/plug back in.

Lately I have been experiencing the same thing with my phone.I am having mine replaced for a different issue so my phone not fast charging the way its suppose to may be du to me receiving a faulty phone from AT&T.I did unplug and plug it back in until it said fast charging and the amount of time till full charge had a dramatic differenece in time almost 50 minutes.I don't know if these issues are hardware or software related but this phone has quite a list of issues at the current moment.

Can you report back? How long have you had your Note 5? What other issue were you having?

I have had the phone for about 30 days but the problems started around 15 days in. The phone kept freezing and becoming unresponsive. I also couldn't get the smart stay to work and then the charging issues. They just decided to replace it.
