Galaxy S7 Edge Fast charging too slow - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi everyone,
I have a galaxy s7 edge and i think that i have a problem with the fast charging feature, but i am not sure so i wanted to ask here.
As i know the phone supports fast charge 2.0 which should charge from 0-60% in 30 minutes. The phone charges fast, and it says that it uses fast charge, but it is just half the speed, normaly it charges 1% per minute, so that means it takes 60 minutes for 60%. Is that normal or should it charge faster, and if it should charge faster, what could be the issue, i am ussing the original charger which came with the phone.

I wondered that also. It takes close to 1 1/2 hours for be to charge. 0-60 never gets done in 30 minutes for me.

Do you keep turning on the screen to check progress? Quick Charge doesn't work while the screen is on.

Hello,
No, it does not matter, even if i do not touch the phone while it is charging it never gets the speed as it is advertised, only half of the speed. Does the always on matter in this point, because i have it enabled?

I think the 3600 mAh battery has something to do with it. It's a big battery. Those stats are likely for a smaller capacity battery.

Those stats are for when the phone is turned off and you put it on charge...

How long does it take you to charge from 0-100 without touching the phone? It should take around 1.5 hours.

That's a good question. I don't know. Turn it off next time you charge and see if it makes a difference.

My note 5 used to charge from 2-100 in 70 minutes. The s7 edge takes 30 minutes more for me. Guessing it's the battery. Also, if you're using the phone and fast charging is on, it'll charge slower than if you were to turn off fast charging. Meaning, if you're using your phone and charging it, better off turning off fast charging since the regular charging will charge it faster while using the phone

Hi.
I one (only once) noticed that my S7E didn't charge well even though plugged in to original charger and cable. Somehow the cable wasn't connected tight on the charger side. This was causing the problem of showing fast charging on the display but slow charging actually.
Atm I'm charging and monitored the progress:
start charging at 1 %
10 min 15 %
20 min 27 %
30 min 37 %
41 Min 50 %
1h 8 min 80 %
1h 40 min 100 %

Fast charger works fine with charger you get phone. Fast wireless charger doesn't work as fast for me. If you leave the phone alone, honestly it does charge fast

Even if you disable fast charging?
This shouldn't be the case. When I disable fast charging it shows a couple of hours remaining till fully charged, don't know exactly how much.

That was about the same as mine last night when I started charging around 22%. Strange how there isn't much difference in the timings.

Also same in my case.

Tried mine yesterday and took about 1 hour, 35 mins from 0 to 100%

My s7 edge (though using s6 active fast charger), showed 42% at start of fast charge.. after 30 minutes it had only gone to 51% or about 9% gain.. not normal.. i tried the same test with an s6 active and it gained about 15% or more in 15 minutes (not 30).
Still trying to rule out the charger, but i noticed this same slowness last nite on the native s7 edge charger.. so i dont think its the charger..
edit: after wiping system partition cache.. 16 minute test i jumped 8% .. i guess this is more normalish though still a tad low.

I would like to verify the same as some users explained.
Fast charge does charge quick in my phone, maybe not as quick as expected.
But i normally leave fast charge disabled, heavy user and dislike picking the device in when its warm.
I was about to pop out, device had like 5-10% battery.
Plugged it in and it said 2 hours to charge.
Unplugged, Enabled fast charge, time went to 1 hour 25 minutes.
So it chopped around 30 minutes off the charging time.

hi, I don't know if this's the place, but I am on stock firmware for s7 (g930f) and it charges really slow (like 4 hours to full charge), does anybody know why? (original charger)

BATTERY LIFE: Charging Speed

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Note5 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Phone isint charging past 1000 mA on stock cable. However using one from PS4 is giving full 1800-2000 mA! Did I get a faulty cable by any chance ? N920C
This is the fastest charging phone ever! During the days where I use the phone heavily, it will drop to about 15-20% around 4 PM, my day starts at 5 AM. That's when I unplug my phone also. So great battery life for me. It will charge from 10% to 100% in about 1 hr or just slightly more. Can't complain about it, it a great feature.
lol just plug my phone in, went to starbucks come back at 80% from 39% in around 30-40 min
I got the phone down to 1% and it took 1 hour 36 mins to charge to 100%

Driving me crazy
i have to try at least 5-7 times to get it into fast charging mod
otherwise it will keep charge normaly

Just switch the cable, had that problem.
The cable that i got with the phone is garbage, any other one will do the trick.
Charges as fast or faster than my S6 did, which is awesome since the battery is bigger. IF I use it heavily throughout the day and get it below 50% I'll throw it on the fast charger (wired) while doing dishes or something and I get almost 2%/min. 10 minutes will get me almost 20% more battery and I'm golden for the rest of the day with heavy use (CoC attacks all night lol)

Wireless Fast Charger
Got 2 wireless chargers. 1 from Costco when i got the note 5 and the other when i activated samsung pay. Sold them both for 20 each and bought the fast charger. Less sensitive when looking for that "sweet spot" and seems to charge just as fast as factory cable. About an hour and twenty minutes to charge fully. Battery lasts pretty good on stock even before using package disabler pro.
A little over an hour here for me for a full charge.
charging speed is very fast. from 20% in just few minutes charged goes up to 50%. from drained battery to full charge takes about 1 hour and 20 mins. looking for suggestions for good power bank with wireless charging capability for this phone.
awesome speed
Deep sleep issue

The Pleson wireless fast charge that I bought on Amazon for 18 dollars charges my phone in a little less than 75 minutes from 5% to 100%.. The phone does get a little hot though.
You guys talk about charging time while Fast Charge features enabled.
How about normal charge ?
I was disabled fast charge feature and tried to plug my phone to my charge. It took me more than 4 hours to fully charged from 15% of battery.
why waste time with regular charging when it takes 1hr 11 min to 100% from 15%....charging with phone off.
if you charge while on the phone is on & continually updating social media, email, stocks/bonds/financial, it'll take a long time, if you ever see 100%.
I don't fully deplete my battery anymore, since it's not replaceable. When I had the note 3 with another spare battery and usb 3.0 wire charger I got it down it like 10% than charge. Life is a little different on the note 5. I have to charge my phone while at work, at least once a day sometimes 2 times if I'm heavily using my phone. Just the combination of bad 3g service here at work and Really good 4G LTE service, in certain areas, brings my battery performance down. But no problem, I have fast wired charger, from 20% to 100% in about 1 hour and 10 mins while the phone is on and even faster with the phone off. At home, I have fast wireless charger which I use, right before I sleep when I don't need a fast charge. A little slower than the fast wired charger, but 20% to 100% in 1 hour and 30 mins. I also have a non fast wireless charger but it's sort of useless. It only works will with my brother's s6 and now his s7.

Fast Wireless Charger - Slow...

I've got the Samsung Fast Wireless Charger, a un-rooted G935FD, the original USB cable and the original charger. And it's really slow...
When I put the phone on the wireless charger, it says Fast Charging, gives me a time, say 93% - 17 minutes approx. But the reality is it will take about an hour. This is without turning the screen on, just leaving it untouched on the charger. The Wireless Fast Charge box is ticked, normal fast charging via the USB cable works.....any idea why wireless charging is so slow?
Thanks.
i have the same issue. Anu sugestion?
its about battery heat vs lifetime; best 'fast charging' timefrae/chargeframe is between 20% and 80%; before 20 it will be slow, after about 80 it will be slow. slower as its closet to 100%, and the reciprocal is true from 20 to 0%.

I understand this, but the times should be reflected more accurately in the estimates. They are completely wrong most of the time.

agreed, but i would bet the system simply takes the AVERAGE time to charge per PERCENT of battery life, multiplied by PERCENT REMAINING, and displays that result in minutes. case in point; S7 Active Fast Wireless Charger, from 25 to 35% in about 4 minutes; phone says 9 minutes; first time i use it, AWESOME!
next time 80-100%, phone says 18 minutes. Actual time about 30 minutes.
Mine is the same, but it's slow throughout the whole charge from 4-5% to 100%. It says approx 2 hours but it takes about 4. I am using the official samsung fast charging stand.
Does this wireless charger stop charging when reaches 100%? I heard that it has auto shut off when fully charged. I leave mine to charge over night on normal charge rate not fast. I know it is fully charged hours before I wake, but when I wake up the phone is still very warm. Just thought that if it auto stopped charging hours ago the phone would of cooled down.

yes, but it keeps topping it off/sensing if its fully charged or not.

[Q] S7E Fast charging how long does it take?

How long does it take for you to fully charge your S7 edge from say about 5 or 10%?
Mine is saying 1hr 30 mins and my battery currently on 10%.. is that about right? Im using like a 10ft cable though but its still coming up as fast charging.
It is about the right time for fast charge. Mine takes about 1 hour 20 mins from 30%
1h40 from 5%
Remember that fast charging gradually slows down as the battery gets closer to fully charged, to keep the battery from overheating. The first 50% will go much faster than the second 50%.

Today I tried to charge my phone from 20 percent (dont like to go all the way down to zero) and in 30 minutes, I got to 50 percent. Every reviewer claim they get about 55% in 30 minutes, meanwhile I get only 30 percent. Is this normal? I am using the original charger that came with the phone.

It also depends on the temperatur of the Phone how fast it will charge.
that's a huge difference there with my charging
Half a promise
I got a new mi note 10 pro and wondered because it charges as fast as my zenfone 6. I got a few testers so I decided to check out the epic "30 watt charging with USB PD" and boy was I disappointed.
It only charges at 17 watts on generic USB PD and 20 watts on the original charger. Hope they fix this and deliver on their promise.
but everyone in reviews claim it charges 55% in 30 minutes, I really believe they tested it before the review
yeah and last 10% take like 20 minutes? or more?

I tested this morning that it took 1 hour and roughly 20 minutes to reach 85% from 26%. Then the rest took another 30 minutes. I determined that 85% to be the break point because from then on the phone started to warm up. I bet the start could be a lot faster if the software/hardware allowed the 30 watt charging.
so you think we are being slowed down by software or something? so IT IS possible to reach the faster charging?

I bet it's somewhat software, it has to because there is communication between the charger and phone.

I would like to mention that the same is happening for me nowadays, I bought the phone from 2 months ago and I was charging from 10 - 100 % in 1 hour and 10 min.
But nowadays, I don't know what is happening it becomes go for fast charging in 2 hours not in 1 hour and 5 min as it was before.
I don't know what is the issue, but it becomes increasing in stealthy way.
From 1 hour to 1 Hour and 20 min to 1 Hour and 30 min and now it become 2 hours ?

Someone can try the original MIUI?
Also, custom rom/kernel should solve it then. Some might say its not a big thing, but the speed difference is really big. And god, how long the last 10-15 percents take....
I asked Xiaomi support about this, and I got a reply that asked me if I'm sure I used the charger that came with the phone :laugh:
I just charged from 6% to 60% in about 36 minutes. (forgot to check at 30 minutes) Maybe its realy the less you have, the faster it is? But this speed, I am impressed now. If it will charge with such speed from 30% to like 85%, I will be happy.

Battery slow to charge between 90 and 100%

Hi,
My Oneplus 8 Pro is really slow to charge between 90 and 100%?
With the official cable and official power supply of course.
What about yours?
This is normal on all phones.
I know every phone slows down charging when it's nearly full, but on my Oneplus 8 Pro, it seems really slow at the end ...
I'll time it on next charge
23 minutes from 89 to 100%...
Is this normal?
it would generally be a good idea to stop charging it after 80 or 90% in order to keep the battery healthy in the long run.

Do you have optimised charging on? If so, the phone will warp charge to 80% then start trickle charging to 100% in the hour or so leading up to you waking up/using the phone. Turn it off if you want max charging all the time
