9to5Google has released an interesting article. I never noticed this, since I charge my phone slowly overnight with a 5 watt wireless charger. Have you guys also experienced this? Can people here with root can confirm wattage measurements? Especially the decrease overtime?
As it seems, both the Pixel 6 & Pixel 6 Pro are affected by this.
Google is notorious for having algorithms that sometime suck and need refinement, just like Adaptive Charging that only likes you when you are a normal human being that wakes up in the morning; if you are a night worker, Google doesn't care about you.
Pixel 6 doesn't actually charge at 30W as Google implies, analysis finds 22W max
A new analysis of the Pixel 6 charging speeds finds that the phone never hits its advertised 30W charging speeds, even under ideal conditions.

At this point I'd rather have a broken adaptive charging setting as the culprit. Maybe it's active without people having the toggle on. As far as I know, the "trigger" for adaptive charging is an alarm set in the morning. Would be interesting to know if the people with slow charging problems have any alarms set at all, to rule that out.
I was going to take the charger back because I had to pay for it and for the most part was no faster than my previous pixel phones, a couple of days ago tried the two chargers side by side, and this time the charger was apparently going to be 30mins faster to fully charge, nothing scientific rather looking at time till full on lock screen.
And as you mention in the evenings charges super slowly, so no point having a charger that I had to pay for.
The has been plenty of people saying that their phone never fully charges, and my guess also is no alarm set
I'm having similar issues with wireless charging so I think this is probably part of a bigger problem with the phone, and probably why they haven't put out the new pixel stand yet. It could really tank the launch if they released it today and the phone still has all these problems and can't charge at the advertised 23 Watts.
After reading this I'll be sending my charger back, no immediate need for it at the moment, perhaps further down the line if Google sort it out on the phone.
Google need to address this because a lot of us have bought the official charger and it's not giving what is advertised. They'll keep quiet about it though until any sort of noise from it dies down.

Anyone notice battery share is broken too? Only charges the device for about 20sec before stopping.
I have watched my device charge using a smart plug that measures wattage and I've never seen mine go over 26 watts.

Mine was charging at 27.4W (fluctuating between 25W-27.4W, I'm assuming because I had the display on) using Google's 30W power brick. My battery was at 71%, I'm going to try it when the battery is lower to see if I can get 30W.
The article says it doesn't go over 22W, that's already false in my case.

Not sure how you're getting 27.4w there? 30w is approximately 6000mah current draw, no?

It depends on the voltage. The specifications of the power brick say that at 5V and 9V it outputs 3A of current.
You can see from the screenshot I posted that the phone was pulling 3.076A @27.4W.
P=VI, so V=P/I
V=27.4W/3.076A=8.91V
It seems pretty spot on to me.
Attached the specifications of the power brick.

This is for kernel devs only. The patch itself is useless to those who do not/can not compile their own kernel.
I put together this patch for you guys at the request of a few different members here in the nexus S forum who had saw my patch in the gnex forum. This allows one to force AC charging for any charger that is detected as USB (e.g. many car chargers) and pull the full current the charger can support. It also provides additional security when connecting to public charging stations because by forcing AC charging, USB/adb data transfers are disabled, protecting your data.
Fast charge can be toggled by issuing:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge
and off:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge
Some roms (AOKP) have also implemented toggles.
In addition I have created a toggle fast charge widget that may be used to toggle fast charge on and off right from your home screen:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incredicontrol.fastchargewidget
For the widget (or any fast charge toggle) to work, you MUST be running a kernel that has this patch implemented.
As a good gesture to support a fellow dev, I ask that if you implement the patch into your kernel, please link to my widget as one means to toggle it. You are of course free to provide other ways to toggle it as well if you so desire.
Kernel devs, if you would like to test the widget yourself to confirm its working, and for convenience of testing, please contact me and I will provide you with a copy. You must show that you are a kernel dev though (i.e. link me to your kernel post so I can match your username).
Here you go. Good luck have fun:
http://www.incredikernel.com/wp-con...wnload.php?id=nexus_s_force_fast_charge.patch
Hopefully we will see this implemented into a lot of our kernels around here. It looks pretty sweet. If I knew how to compile kernels I'd be all over it.

Thanks! I'd like to see this also!
Its been brought to my attention that the AOKP toggle interferes in some way with the widget. I'm going to contact them and see what's up. I think they may be setting the permissions of the fast charge toggle in an undesirable manner.
thank you x 1million!!! I requested this from mathkid about two weeks ago & never heard anything back....I hope this gets implemented now

ahh, thanks for the response I'll write him and thank him for his part in researching this for matrix kernel.
any kernels on the nexus s 4g support fast charge? I cant wait to get this working! Great job!
I've always had a problem of GPS draining my phones battery no matter what ROM I'm running, or what car charger I use, been through about 5 of them. If this helps with that I'm super stoked about this, since it's the only thing that I don't like about my Nexus S.
id love to see how fast this makes charging, considering my phone already charges pretty god damned fast.
•neXus•S4G•ĄØKP•Mïlestøne 4•Aïr Kerneł 3.7•
Does anyone know if this can be ported over to the HP Touchpad?
Anyone have much luck with the fast charge toggle on this kernel? I'm helping my friend who just got a nexus s 4g and setup his touchstone from his palm pre. his phone only detects as USB while on the touchstone even though its a full 1 amp charger. Anyway if he plugs in he gets ac charging obviously. So I had him enable fast charge with this kernel and us NStools. It doesn't seem to work and actually glitches out and charges slower to the point that it never increases even with screen off. It indeed says ac in settings. If he then plugs into regular ac outlet it continues charging slow where it won't increase even a single percent for 20 min. Restoring stock kernel goes back to normal.
Anyone had any luck with fast charge? We're kinda baffled here. I know the nexus s is a slow charging phone already at 750 mA. anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
So I realize this is a bit of an older thread, but since it got bumped anyway...
Isn't this about the same thing as SBC? Meaning, won't this trash your battery very quickly? Fast charging is designed to be something that's only done in emergency situations (which is why people say only to use car chargers in emergency situations) otherwise it will kill your battery. This really shouldn't be something to use in a daily driver kernel.

There are two charge modes: USB and AC. The phone determines the mode by reading the resistance value between the two USB data pins. If the value is zero, the phone charges in AC mode, which draws > 500mA current (eg. wall charging). If the resistance is very high, it charges in USB mode and draws <= 500mA of current (eg. charging from a computer USB port).
What this patch does is it forces the phone into AC mode so that it can draw higher current and charge faster. Hope it clears up your confusion.

That makes a bit more sense, I had my A's and D's crossed there. So basically this just helps speed up the charge if you're charging from a pc then. Gotcha.
I'm a complete noob on wireless charging and this is the first time I have bought a device that has it. I bought the plain flat wireless charger for use with this Note 7 to have by my computer desk and now I'm thinking of getting one for where I place my phone every night to charge. My question to anyone who has had extensive use with wireless charging, is it ok to ONLY use wireless charging? Even overnight? Not sure if it matters but I turn my phone off to charge every night.
You should have no problems only using the wireless charger. The only difference is that wirelessly charging your phone will be slower then using the fast charging cable that came with the phone.
Side note, I've started turning off fast charging when i charge overnight. Don't need it to charge quicker at that point and figure it may give the battery some extra life after a while. I usually avoid charging overnight so it doesn't sit at 100% for hours.
Back on topic, I think wireless creates more heat...heat bad...do the math. Plus taking it on/off charger constantly is def no good.
Only wireless charge my s7 edge and doing the same with my note 7.
If the battery get very low and i need to use the phone ill put it on the cable.
But no damage will happen. The phone has built in safety and the charger does also.

Hi. I feel your frustration!
I did a little online research regarding battery life and charging and found a site that has real qualified experts with Ph.D's in this science.
Bottom line is all charging shortens battery life.
It appears to come down to a few rules.
Don't fully charge your battery. IE don't leave it on all night as we do.
Don't let your battery fully drain.
Don't use quick charging.
Don't use wireless charge.
Use the proprietary charger that comes with your mobile. (mine came with a quick charger though?).
Heat and built in obsolescence seem to be the problem. Its very complex and its best you Google this subject yourself as there are so many forum 'experts' one never knows what to believe.
Did you know that fast charging stops at 60% and then goes to trickle? If that's the case why cant we fast charge....its so confusing.
Research this yourself. Its best.

I am not certain we should worry so much about all this. At the end of the day we have to put a certain level of trust in the manufacturer of the phone, that they have put the effort in to making sure we don't damage or shorten the length of life to the device because of the technology they have introduced.
For the record, I 'slow-wireless' charge my devices overnight and top up on a fast charge cable whenever I need to. I never let it completely discharge and I don't recharge above 80% generally. No noticeable issues over the past 2yrs.
.
Thanks for all the reply guys. I wasn't really worried about the it being overnight since I know that these manufacturers let it get to 100% and the let it drain, then charge again so it's never fully saying at 100%. I just didn't know the long term effect of wireless charging. Looks like all charging effects it. Haha. I'll turn off quick charge and see if that helps anything. I work form home so I'm almost always by my charger. I guess i just shouldn't be as worried because no matter what the battery will get worse over time. I bet it's not really hard to pull the back off this phone either to replace it.

Hi, Cant disagree with what you write however......lol. Many years ago a doctor would prescribe medication and said medication came with no manufacturers information just the dosage and time that our doctor prescribed.
These days drug manufacturers have to give highly detailed literature with all medications. Here is my point at last.
If you read the blurb given, for say a pain killer, it may list pain as one of the side effects. I once purchased an over the counter sea sickness remedy for my son and in the blurb it gave NAUSEA as a side effect! Certain antidepressants can cause suicide! Now if we parallel this to company's who 'just' manufacture mobile phones imagine what they know that they DON'T inform us about? Just food for thought. :highfive:
Oh another point...how many owners actually read that massive manufacturers owners manual? Should the owners manual be read no end of situations and misfortunes would and could be understood and avoided.

sorry. the software and power managment in Android will not allow the battery to destroy itself or even degrade itself. it does not matter anymore how you charge them, for how long, etc. The only thing that can harm it is cheap cables that fail and cross wires externally, which then route voltage into the port.

I would believe the below from the article before I'd believe Samsung's stupid enough to make the same or similar mistake twice. I was worried about QC on the replacements considering how fast they're racing down the production line. Mine's perfect BTW. Any articles about Samsung because of what's happened is guaranteed click-bait. A Note 2 overheating on a plane made front page news with whatever (still to be determined) happened to it being tied back to the Note7 issue.

Mine seems too also but I thought it was all in my head. It seems smoother and snappier for want of better words. My old phone would occasionally get choppy and stutter as if it was struggling with something in the background. The new one doesn't. It's on AT&T and the new phone's shipping s/w was the same as the old phone's updated s/w. Curious.
My s7 edge and note 7 (both exploding and non-exploding versions) have always had times where they charge slower than they discharge. (Waze + Pandora when it is super sunny, so 100% brightness. Even on QC2.0.)
The new note7 (and/or new firmware) pops up a warning to say as much. The S7E had an overheat warning that came up occasionally in similar conditions (even air-conditioned, DC summer is warm..)
I think the only difference is the notification that its happening, which is nicer than discovering after a drive that you have been losing power the whole time.
I'm experiencing the very slow charging issue. In fact when I was watching a movie while fast charging it was losing charge!?

I have experimented the same thing, actually ending with less batt while using and charging with other devices, so, this happening with the note 7 indicates nothing wrong with the batt

Fast charging does not seem to want to work on my new one, with stock charger brick and cable. I am hoping I don't have to go BACK to TMo and get another new phone.
my replacement seems identical to my original, same charge speed, same discharge speed.
as for the people saying about watching movies and such and the battery ending up lower, that is normal, if you are running the screen and charging not only does the battery get warm, so does the CPU so the phone will start to throttle the charging. I've had phones in the past that refused to charge once the CPU got above a certain temperature. this is just people being paranoid or looking for a way to get money as mentioned above with the fake tales of exploding batteries.

Odd. I use my Note7 (pre and post replacement) with Android Auto via USB. Android Auto really puts a load on the phone. Even off the wimpy output from my car's USB port the phone never loses charge and frequently gains it. My previous Note5 was the opposite. It would stay even most of the time but would lose charge on occasion. The only difference between the two scenarios is I got a Orange-E 12" Type C USB cable to use with my Note7. So my experience is different than yours.
I suspect the screen is the big drain. 100% brightness is vicious. Isn't the screen off for android auto?
Things it's usually doing when it drains (starting from 70% or so) :
Overheating (direct sun, no ac pointed at dash or top/doors off)
BT music streaming + wear
GPS
100% brightness
QC2 (aukey car charger)
Even without overheating that combo usually only gains me about 5% over 30 minutes.
Unrelated, but without getting too far off topic is AA worth the jump? (~900USD if I want my steering wheel controls and stuff)

Yep. When in use and the display is on its black with the Android Auto logo. But the phone's still using all its radios and if navigating pushing data to an 8" display so the phone's definitely under load. I have a Samsung Fast Charge car adapter but the problem with Android Auto is it doesn't let you connect by BT so the car's USB power output is all you get. But as a comparison under the exact same conditions the Note7 definitely either drains less or gets more power than my previous Note5 and both phones are/were configured identically.

A black screen with amoled means the only pixels lighting up are the ones in use. The screen itself is a massive drain so the more pixels are lit up, the more the juice is drained from the battery. That's why AOD doesn't kill the battery fast.

Ive used a USB multimeter on both my old and new note7.
No matter what, old or new note7, the charging rate gets cut exactly in half when charging with the screen on. This happens when using a quickcharger or a normal 2.4a 5v charger.
So if you want full speed charging the screen needs to be OFF.

I beg to differ, because they have that wireless backpac battery that is completely sealed from water for the Note 7. The purpose of the permanently installed battery is for the NSA to track people since the battery cannot be removed from the phone.
Hey guys,
I have recently purchased xiaomi mi 6 and this is my first quick charge phone so something got me worried. My battery charging speed seems to be too fast for me. Although I don't think temperatures are worrying however I'm conserned regarding long term effects.
I have xiaomi mi 6 6gb ram 128gb storage ceramic edition model.
These are pictures taken from battery app from playstore and image of my charger.
If anyone have some advise about this it would be great.
My greatest consern is that charging speed doesn't seem to diminish as charge is getting to 90% after it hits 90% it slows down dramatically. But from what I know it should change charging speed between 60 and 70 percent to little slower then from 0 to 60.
Is this damaging battery?
Screenshots below.
Thank you.
Totally fine. Its QC 3.0. Imagine this: QC4+ charges ~50-60% in under 15 minutes.
Oh such a releaf. Thank for replying.
Anyone got idea if this has any at all negative effect to battery?
No, higher battery voltage - slower charge, you would damage your battery in few weeks without this slow down.
Also avoid heavy load of phone when charging

Would they put a fast charger in the box if the phone couldn't handle it? Nah probably not. Maybe Apple would......
Should you worry if you use the stock charger or a certified QC 3.0 charger? Definitely not its fine.
Are you still worried?: use a non QC 3.0 charger like 1.5 amp.
I use my old Sony one and it works equally well.
I find a slower charger gives slightly longer SOT.
The fast charger is just useful if I need power quickly.
Thanks guys
The phone doesn't want to fast charge when the screen is on. It only charges at 5 watts but when I turn off the screen it goes back to the full 15 watts or 22-25 when I'm using the super fast charging adapter. The phone is fully updated.
This is a problem only on this device as my A51 doesn't have this problem, and neither does my dad's A51.
Welcome to XDA
It's not suppose to fast charge with the display on. Dependent on the amount of current draw and battery temperature/condition.
Too much current draw and/or low/high battery temperature fast charging will not engage or will disengage to protect the battery...

Exactly. The display alone is likely drawing too much current.
You can use bluetooth and listen to Poweramp or take a call with the display off while fast charging. As long as it's not actively using the internet and the display is off it should work.
This is typical fast charging behavior for Samsung's.
