S10 plus charging issues

[Eric Parlatore]

So when I plug my phone into car port sometimes the battery will charge but last two days noticed percentage going down every now and then plugged in. Is there something wrong with my phone

depends on what car charger you are using and what wattage they are.

Gotta check when I go into the car

Check your cord.

Plug the phone in, and goto

Settings
Battery

There it should say whether the phone is charging or not, and if it is charging by AC or USB.

You want it to say AC.

If it says USB, then try a different cord, or another charger.

Ok, my bad.
I gave instructions for my 7.1.1 and now that I look at my 8.1.1 it is not the same- and not the same as yours.

So, to compare apples to apples, there is a small, useful, ad-free, FOSS app you can use, called CPU Info.

This will give you the information that you need, and more.

The 'Hardware' section will look like this:

Notice where it says Charging Type and that it says AC.

AC is for standard and quick charging, and should provide plenty of juice to use the device and charge it at the same time.

If connected to a USB port, it would say USB- and that would be a slow charge- quite possibly not enough to use the device and gain an appreciable charge in a reasonable time, or even discharge while still charging.

A bad cord, however, can mimic the slow rate of charge from a USB port, even if plugged into a wall charger.

Think it could be the cord in car cause one in house works fine
