In the present day, major kinda people hate to leave their heartiest device on charging ’cause they already had to perform their maximum working with it, in this consequences Samsung has a fanatic feature that is Fast charging for many of the Samsung Galaxy phones support it.
Fast charging is the perfect feature for people who hate to wait for their phones to get powered up before leaving for an evening out with friends and family. After just a short charge time, you can use your phone for hours. In spite of this if your phone is charging slower then it may need you to fix it with some of the tips and trick that you can idea below.
1. Check, Your Phone Support Fast Charging?
First and foremost you must aware of the fact that your phone is actually supportive of fast charging. Flagship phones do, like the Galaxy S23 or Galaxy Z folding phones, as do mid-rangers like the Galaxy A54. But not all models support it. Soon after ensure that your cell phone considers fast charging capability.
You can also go for short research on the internet to determine whether your cell phone has fast charging, we recommend asking the support representative directly. Visit Samsung’s support page, pick your preferred mode of communication, and reach out to them.
2. Check, Your Charger Support Fast Charging?
For fast charging to work, your phone charger must also support it. The charger that comes with your phone likely does, but you may have to buy one separately, as with the Samsung S22, S23, and other flagship devices.
A charger that doesn’t have a label that says Quick Charging, Adaptive Fast Charging, or something similar signifies that it isn’t compatible with fast charging. This will charge your phone a lot more slowly. The USB cable with these chargers is also quite fragile, and this can also impact its performance.
Our guide on selecting the right charger for your Samsung Galaxy includes tips on what type of charger you should buy, how many watts it should have, and how to choose the right one. Although these tips are geared toward Samsung Galaxy S21, they are equally helpful for other Galaxy phones.
3. Ensure Fast Charging Is Enabled
After confirming that your phone supports fast charging, you should check that fast charging is enabled in your phone’s settings. It won’t work if it’s disabled in the settings. Follow the steps below to check whether this option is enabled:
- Go to the Settings app.
- Tap on Battery and device care > Battery.
- Tap More battery settings.
- Make sure all toggles under Charging are enabled.
4. Clean the Charger Port
If still, your phone is not fast charging then another possible reason is the accumulation of dirt or residue in the charging port. Your charger can’t operate at its full capacity or even at all if it has dirt or lint in it.
Using a toothpick or needle, remove any dirt, grime, or other residues. You can also use a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol inside the charging port in circular motions. Afterward, put it in a cool, dry place for at least an hour. Don’t worry about the liquid in the dock; it will naturally evaporate. Alternatively, use a can of compressed air.
5. Change the Charging Outlet
There is also the possibility that a faulty outlet does not supply enough current to support fast charging. Your charger won’t be drawing the power at the required rate to fast-charge your phone in the absence of sufficient power. Try a different charging outlet to see if that makes a difference.
If you are using any other power source, like an external power bank, make sure it has enough wattage to support fast charging on your Samsung device.
6. Update Your Phone
Fast charging might not work on your smartphone if the software is outdated. If you have never updated your phone since buying it, that may be causing the problem.
Thus, if no fix has been successful, update your phone. Here’s how to do it:
- Go to your phone’s Settings.
- Tap on Software update.
- Tap on Download and Install.
If you see a new update, you can either install it immediately or schedule it for a later date. When your system is already up-to-date, a message will appear saying, “Your software is up to date.”
7. Charge Your Phone in Power Saving Mode
Nowadays, every Galaxy phone supports a power-saving mode. It can dramatically cut down on background apps and processes that eat up your system resources and helps your phone’s battery last longer.
With minimal battery draining, it may also quicken the charging process. Therefore, consider charging your smartphone in power-saving mode. You can find it at Settings > Battery and device care > Battery > Power saving mode.
If fast charging worked fine a few days earlier, see which new apps you installed recently on your phone. When you find the ones that might be consuming a significant amount of power, try stopping or uninstalling them temporarily to verify that they are the culprits.
Lastly, if you keep antivirus apps running in the background, you can also turn them off to see if that solves the problem.
8. Turn Off Mobile Data or Wi-Fi
If you don’t want to keep switching into power-saving mode every time you plug in your phone, turning off Wi-Fi and mobile data can be a good compromise. Even when you aren’t using your phone, these connections might still be drawing the power as well as enabling apps to send and receive data. Turning them off may speed up the charge time of your phone.
To make things easier, put your phone in Airplane mode before connecting your charger to speed up the process.
9. Clear the Caches
If your phone behaves sluggishly and not so as you are wishing there may be an issue with cached data. In such a case, the charging time might increase with a drop in your battery performance. Clearing your caches will not only help you fast charge your phone since it will not drain your battery, but it will also improve the overall performance of your device.
You’ll have clear the cache but the new Android smartphones don’t let you clear the cache at once for all apps. So do it separately for each app. Below step are given on how you can do that:
- Go to your phone’s Settings.
- Tap on Additional Settings and navigate to Storage. (The Storage folder location might be different on your phone.)
- Go to Apps.
- Tap on the app you wish to clear the cache for (Snapchat in our example.)
- Lastly, hit Clear cache and you are good to go.
10. Do a Factory Reset
As the name suggests, a factory reset returns your phone to its default settings. Where you have opted for the several tricks you tried and still your phone need to treat. Then you must try factory resetting the phone. This gives your phone a fresh start and may solve the problem of fast charging not working. Since the process deletes all of your data, back up your Samsung phone before you perform the reset.
11. Nothing Has Worked So Far? Perhaps It’s Time to Replace the Battery
May your phone is creating hectic due to battery issues, ’cause if none of the fixes have worked, perhaps your phone’s battery is to blame. You’ve either abused it for so long that it’s degraded to the point that it’s time for a new one, or it’s too old and lost its overall capacity.
Samsung users can check their battery status by following the below steps:
- Go to the Settings app and tap on Battery and device care.
- Select Diagnostics. You will be prompted to open the Samsung Members app; if it’s not already installed, do so before proceeding.
- Tap on the Battery status.
You’re good to go when the Life indicator appears as Good in the Battery status. But if it isn’t, you should consider purchasing a new battery. Before fixing common Android battery problems and applying relevant fixes to resolve any issues you may have with your phone’s battery.
Additionally, you can further optimize your Samsung phone’s charging speed with Bixby Routines. Also, if these aren’t yet solve the problem or you have to replace your battery.
I wish that following the certain trick that I have listed above helps you fast charge to cure your phone tantrum. However, if none of the above fixes have worked, there may be a hardware issue preventing your smartphone from fast charging.
