Is everyone really getting the 50% charge in 30 mins? It feels like I am getting about 1% per 1 min of charge time on average. Not sure if that is normal or I have a defect somewhere? Also, is fast charging safe to use for every charge session or is it meant to be used once in a while for emergencies? Thank you.
yes my phone will go from zero to 100% in an hour no problem when using charger that came with phone

Really? Did it charge like that from the very beginning or did it take a few charges to get to that speed? I think it takes me like 1.5-2 hrs from real low to full charge with fast charge enabled.

I used to get those insanely fast charge times; however, recently my phone has been charging slower (with fast charging on). Not only that, but, for some reason, the original wall adapter stopped working twice now. The first time it freaked me out because I thought my phone was messed up, but it turned out that everything was working except the adapter. Then later, I found out that if I reboot my phone with the adapter plugged into the wall, the charger will magically start working again! This worked for one or two charges. Today, I found that my phone was, again, charging extremely slow. Not only that, but my phone stopped charging after around 50% and the adapter is broken once more. I've tried the reboot thing three times and it didn't work again T: So now I'm kind of worried my phone might be defective?
Has this happened to anyone else with charging issues?

I haven't ran into anything like that yet. Who is your carrier? Maybe you can take in your charger and battery to get it replaced? Can you try charging with a different quick charging phone or something to narrow down if it's the phone or charger's fault?

Although I am fairly certain that my issue was the wall adapter portion of the charger, I just found it strange that the fast charging function failed to work properly around the same time when my wall adapter started to fail. Hopefully I am right and nothing else was wrong, but I thought that I would say something in-case I was wrong
As for getting it replaced... I bought my Verizon Note 4 at BestBuy off-contract and when I went there, they claimed to not have any in stock. They never really bothered to ask if I wanted to replace it even though I brought all my receipts and junk so I just took that as I wouldn't be getting a replacement haha :crying:
If anything I'll probably end up just buying another fast charger from samsung later, but for now slow charging is fine I guess. The fast charging did make both my device and charger hot, so maybe that was the problem?
edit:
I do not have any other quick charging devices (to my knowledge), but the wall adapter - combined with various other cables - continued to fail with my other phones as well.
I also say about a hour for a full change

Weird, I need like 1.5 hrs to get from 15% to full on fast charge and about 1.75 hrs for 15% to full on slow charge.
i timed my 1st charge. 57 min from 0 to 100. phone turned on and screen off.
Yep, to me that's the best feature. No more battery switching.
I even bought the Verizon vehicle charger with fast charge, and it works just as quick

Do you know if it's safe to use fast charge for every charge up? If it shortens battery life over time, I'd like to know this now and only use fast charge sparingly.
Yes. It shortens battery life. By using the only charger they give you, you essentially cut your battery life in half. It's a conspiracy by Samsung and the makers of the materials used the batteries

Pretty sure that was sarcasm. I'm less sure about your comment, though. ;P
I read it in American Android, first December issue. They did a study. Only way to avoid the battery dissipation was if you only used the fast charger at night, and Sundays after noon, but before 1pm PST. fascinating article. It's amazing what a group of students at Yale who love Android can actually accomplish.
I think I can work around that charging schedule. I am also going to subscribe to that magazine now.
For the past few days, I've noticed very slow charging on my Pixel even if it says "Charging Rapidly". However it would say it will take around 3 hours to fully charge. When fast charging works, usually clocks at 1 hour and 30 minutes.
I really don't know what can be causing the issue. It's the original charger, and cable. Normally removing the cable and putting it again would fix the issue but it's becoming a common thing for it to take 3 hours.
I remember a similar issue on my Nexus 9 and cleaning the cache would completely fix the issue, but the Pixel XL is missing the Wipe Cache option in the recovery.
Any similar experiences?
On the OEM included charger?

Yup.
Could try a factory reset.. probably the only software related solution. I can't remember, but Chainfire may have said that the cache.img was one of the things that got removed in 7.1 so I don't even know if you could wipe it if you wanted to. You could also hit up Google support... maybe they'll send you a new charger to try. Make sure you're using the OEM cable too, at least for now, until you figure it out.
I had this exact issue with mine, factory reset / charging in safe mode didn't work.
Turned out to be a faulty usb cable but Google insisted on replacing the entire package (handset etc) Replacement works fine

If it makes you feel any better, Google exchange process is amazing.
Raised the return on mine about 4pm and the replacement was on my desk 9am the next morning, they also give you 14 days to send your old one back so you're it without a phone.
I use ampere to see what the charging rate is and I don't feel like the fast charge is that fast.... My 6p charged at a faster rate and my pixel charges at a faster rate using my Choetech smart charger. I'm going to have to drain the battery and see how long it takes to fully charge with the stock charger

Some phones ie lg v10 do not "fast charge" while screen is on (while youre looking at it) to avoid overheating. Ampere cant show max charging rate. I use a usb sleeve (usb doctor) that displays that info or turn on notification display
EDIT: Supposedly Pixel do not fast charge while in use either.

I think I can confirm this. Last night mine showed 27 minutes to charge from about 50% but after keeping the screen awake for about 30 seconds, it went up to 51 minutes.
I also find my Pixel charges very slow as well even though it says Charging Rapidly (OEM charger, cable). The GSM Arena review said they went from 0% to 46% in 30 minutes, I get more like half of that at most. I used Ampere and it said i was only charging at 710 mA.....

If you charge it from almost empty it charges very quick, but slows down once it gets nearer to full

Yes i started charging my phone when it was 4%, and when i looked at it about 20 minutes later it was only at 16%. I think it took about 3 hours to fully charge. The only modification I've made to the phone is unlock the Verizon bootloader and flash the P software (which was subsequently updated to V). I'm seriously wondering if the charger or cable is defective.

Potentially, mine was and I had to get the whole thing replaced
I've had my Nexus 5x for a couple months now, I bought it through amazon refurbished. (My girlfriend has the same device, she bought hers brand new. Her's is the international model though) Here's a listing of the charging cables, and chargers that I have:
Anker Quick Charge 3.0 and USB Type-C 24W USB Wall Charger http://amzn.to/2mitz3n
Anker A to C 6ft cable http://amzn.to/2lbw2HW
Anker 24W Dual Port Charger http://amzn.to/2mx16Tt
(I bought the a to c cable to be able to connect to pcs or whatever, and the charger i had for my Nexus 5 and other micro usb devices.
Standard Google Charger https://store.google.com/product/usb_type_c_18w_power_adapter
Obviously the middle item there doesn't charge at full speed, it isn't intended to. But my charge rate using any of those devices is still over all over the place within each of those items specifications. So it isn't likely that is a cable or charger issue which is normally the issue when someone has charging rate problems. yes i know the charging rate slows down as it reaches higher percentages to prevent over charging and other types of battery damage.
My phone can be down to 20% battery when I plug it in and it could start charging at 110mA or 2000mA+. Whatever rate it is though, it isn't going to stay that way for very long. If it starts low, then it might work its way up into the 700-900s slowly or to around 1000mA. If it starts up high 2000mA it'll likely start working its way down slowly into the 1000-1800mA range.
Sure charging at slower rates helps the battery to last longer, but when i have no control over this, and at times it discharges faster than it is even charging it is bad. I can actually deplete battery sometimes, if its charging while video chatting. Albeit very very very slowly, but still. The battery life and range seems to be very good aside from this charging issue. The connection port on the phone seems really quite solid as well and wiggling the cord doesn't seem to affect the charge rate as best as I can tell.
My girlfriends 5x charges in about half the time that mine does, or sometimes its even worse, i just have to pay attention to what it is doing when i plug it in. So my question is, is this a battery problem or is there something else going on with the phone? What is it that throttles the charge rate down as the battery % gets higher? Is there a chance this could be faulty and causing it to be all over the place like this? Any ideas about this would be very helpful thanks in advance.
Ps: I really do love the device, it works great, I have no issues with it beyond the charging rates that can be all over the place. I can go from 10% battery to 75% sometimes in half an hour or so. Then i get times where it takes well over an hour for that much.
(I use ampere to measure the charge rates)
Charge rate goes down with higher battery temperatures. Let the device cool down a bit before plugging in, also keep the screen off to allow it to charge at full speed.
The charge will also slows down as it fills up, the last 10% will take the longest.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond, since you are the only one thus far. But as I said I'm aware of the charging slowing down for those reasons, and I've got another device to compare to. It isn't the same, and the device isn't hot.
There is no problem with your battery. The phone is badly designed. Unfinished SoC combined with a small battery and a big screen. Your money is better spent on something else.

He's not talking about battery life. He's talking about charging times.
Personally, no issues with charging here. Always goes 15% to ~90% in 60 minutes with the stock charger.

I don't have any issues with my battery discharge rate. For what it is, and what I use if for I'm happy with it. And from what I've read about the usages from others I think I have no issues there compared to others. I'm just referring to the charging rates, the way it charges

But due to an unfinished and rushed SoC, it doesn't charge faster. The charge rate of this device is limited to 40% of it's intended charge rate.

Fairly pointless comment considering I've got one already, it isn't me asking if I should buy one. Point taken though that you aren't happy with the device
ideaman924 said:
He says he already owns the device. No point in telling him how poor his purchase decision was. And it wasn't that poor of a decision considering how good it is. It stands up fairly well to my abuse and the small screen is OK to grip.
OK, a serious question:
1. Charging speed is affected by Charger (the thing that plugs into the wall), the Cable (how long or thick it is), and the Battery (how hot, how full it is). This is the basic, moving on.
2. Sometimes the C port is buggy and doesn't correctly detect the maximum amount that a cable+charger combo supports. Download Ampere or some other current measuring tool like GSam (although I never bother with GSam, Ampere is awesome), and make sure the max amperage is 3000 mAh. Anything lower than that means you have a low-powered charger, a less-than-optimal cable, or a hot or near-full battery. I recommend plugging it in at around 50% to make sure the near-full charge speed drop doesn't affect anything during your tests.
3. If that doesn't work, replace the battery. Final line advice.

He's already using Ampere to measure and has 3 chargers to compare with.

Hi guys,
For those having the A70, does the "Super Fast Charging" feature work for you ?
With the original provided charger (with the "Super Fast Charging" logo on it), I need 3 hours to go from 9% to 100%.
So that is 1% every 2 minutes...
I do not consider this a "Super fast". I think it is "Decent" but would not go above that...
For me, this a severe disappointment... Unless of course I am doing something wrong
Anyone else can share his results for Super fast charging here ?
Regards.
Your phone must have an error. Mine lasts about 1:20 to charge from about 15% to 100%.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your answer.
The phone... or the charger maybe ?
Is there something to enable to have that "Super Fast Charging" ?
Or something to not disable ?
If I can solve battery drain (not really lasting as I expect) and this, I will think again about keeping the phone.
So far, it's more a non keeper
Regards.

Hello . Do you charge it with the screen closed? Only then fast charging works! IF yes then something is wrong with either the cable or the charger .You could also try a factory reset !

Hi,
Thanks for the info => Super Fast Charging only with display off ?
So if I leave "Always On" it will not work ?
Maybe that is why...
Anyways, I did as you suggested : I have done a full factory reset, and I have installed the bare minimum of Apps.
We will see about battery drain an battery charging.
I'll keep you posted.

Hi Sufyan3D,

I've made sure that the fast charge is enabled.
So far, the device is still at 100% so I can't say if the problem is "solved", but I'll make sure to report if now it charges as it should
And also about battery drain...

That's correct! OK check it now and tell us! No battery drain, this thing is a beast! Keep us posted!

Hi,
So far, I cannot tell about the Fast charge.
But the phone is almost idle (really gently used) with "Always on" enabled.
It's been idle since about 3hours and battery is at 98%.
I consider this a rather good result.
Hope it'll stay as it is once I install all my apps...
If not, I'll try to track the culprit for the high battery drain.
Regards.
I have same problem, after reading your post, I drained my battery to 9% and charge, it so slow while charging.

Hi guys,
Well I think it is confirmed that my phone has a problem.
The battery drain is more than acceptable.
I drove my kid to school yesterday. It is a 80 minute trip to go there and come back.
While I drove her, I used the A70 as a GPS whilst it was connected to car audio with Bluetooth.
Battery drain in 80 minutes was a little less than 10% which is quite good I think...
Then I played a bit with the phone and went to bed.
This morning it still had 84% battery.
So that is about 2% battery drain overnight.
Not stellar but acceptable.
So I decided to hook it up.
The battery panel reports "Fast charging plugged in".
But after 40 minutes, I am still at 98% charge.
That means 40 minutes to get 10% battery.
I am aware that the last 10% are the longest, but still... 40 minutes for 10% ?
I will test with another charger to see if it is the phone or the charger...
Regards.

Download a free app called "Ampere" from the Play Store, to measure your charging current. Plug the phone into the charger then open the App to get the measurements. Post your result here and compare with other A70 owners.
App shows that my charging current is around 1100mah (with the 25w charger)
I landed here as I was surprised how slow my A70 was to charge. It takes around 3 hours to get from 15% to full, using the included Samsung 3A charger & original cable. Ampere shows the current trickling in at around 850mA. Super Fast Charging is enabled. My previous phone was a Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite which charged at around 2A according to Ampere.
PS I found this link which suggests most of the fast charging happens early in the cycle https://www.sammobile.com/2019/05/02/how-fast-is-samsung-25w-super-fast-charging
The Charger is rated at max 2.77 amps and 9 volts for fast charging. It will vary through the charging cycle though. Towards the end, above 80%, the charging will slow. How long does it take from 15% to 80% and what is the measurement in the middle of that?

I've never tested it. I have fast charge turned off. I charge my phone over night. The battery lasts me all day every day.
Samsung A70 Failed!!
I think A70 is failed in all fields.
No porper GCam. And now batteries.
My device getting charged in around 4 hours with original cable and charger.
Now I think I invest 27k in wrong item. OnePlus 7 or realme 3 pro was far better than A70.
It's just name Samsung, nothing else. Blank box with tag of Samsung. Really disappointing with this.
Sorry to fans of Samsung devices. But I don't like this. After 2011 (Samsung Galaxy Y s5360), I think Samsung is better nowadays but I was wrong. I will never buy Samsung phone again.

I am not facing such issues in my device. Regarding development, for a device like a70, development is always slow. We have the source codes available. The only thing missing is developers onboarding to support the device. If at least 1 dev puts the kernel and device source codes and tree in github, I bet development will start soon after.

I took some readings with Ampere during a charge:
0 mins 8% battery 4050mA
30 mins 38% battery 1060mA
60 mins 52% battery 1050mA
90 mins 66% battery 1020mA
120 mins 81% battery 1080mA
150 mins 91% battery 1000mA
180 mins 100% battery
So 3h from nearly empty to full which is not exactly fast. Is this in line with what others get?
My S20+ exynos is charging slowly. Its taking around 1 hr 40 min - 2 hr to charge from 5 to 100. Super fast charging is turned on and when i plug in it states 1 hr 10 min to charge. This seems to be happening from last 4-5 charge cycles. Phone is on latest software(ATCT). Any ideas what to do.
For me it takes 1h5m mostly (15%-100%)
Maybe do you have bad USB cable?

If you are using a cable other than what came with the phone, that is usually the culprit.

How do i check the cable is faulty ? I tried a cable from my prev phone (Nexus 6P) it wasn't any different .

Bro I am facing the exact same issue on my galaxy S20 exynos. I think it is due to the April update installed, as I saw many comments regarding S20 ultras slow charging speed after the update. Anyways please let me know if you find a solution.

This might explain something... apparently ATCT was pulled

Maybe it's only recent or in certain regions? Either way it's clear it has some issues. I've noticed charging issues on ATCT myself
Funny... I've been thinking about *not* using the Samsung 25W charger that came with the phone and use an older sub-10W charger based on the idea that pumping huge current into the battery quickly prematurely shortens its life.
Plenty of articles talk about this.
The cynic in me thinks that manufacturers are pushing the convenience of warp/super/ultra/whatever fast charging knowing full well that users will F**K up their batteries at ever faster rates than before, thus creating a growing captive market for their latest mega-fast charging phones.
All my previous devices had replaceable batteries so I was less concerned with longevity, but having shelled out a not modest sum for the S20 (all my previous phones were superseded eBay items) I really want to get the longest life possible out of it.
I've got it plugged into an HP 1.5A USB charger and Accubattery thinks it should get from 35% to my target 80% in 1h16min, which I think is acceptable. I bought the fast travel charger and fast car charger at the same time, so I'll reserve these for "emergency" recharging and not use them by default.
Anyone else with similar thoughts?
It could be the April update. Mine says "Super fast charging" while I'm plugged into my 25W brick, BUT it only says "Cable charging" if I charge it through my laptop (USB-C) while previously it said "Fast charging". Has anybody experienced the same?

Bro I just found a solution. Not the best but it works. My phone heated like hell even when idle and of course while charging too which resulted in slow charging speed, so what I did is wrap a cold cotton cloth around it while charging to keep it cool, and boom 50% charged in 30 mins. Earlier it took 1 hour for 50% charge.
For the cold cloth, I wet a handkerchief and squeezed the water out, thus ensuring there is no water to deal any damage (although the phone is ip68 rated).
Of course this is not a permanent solution but it works.
Hope it helps :good:

I have the same problem and as pointed out by vanditsadaphale it is related with the temperature of the phone. Mine charges 30% in 30 minutes instead of 50% as advertised and always is > 35.0 degrees Celsius. Also a **** of battery life with screen on time at 5hrs after almost a day of use with 60 hz...
I have the same problem with my S20 snapdragon version ....
Before update:
Super charge and fast charge were fine with same cable and same charger (aftermarket one support 22watt charging)
After update:
With everything in BATTERY SETTING got ticked. It only charges at slowest speed.
Plugged into supercharging port - no response, no charging
Plugged into QC3.0 port - slow charging
