  • Take a break and let your smartphone rest while charging.

    Browsing the web, watching videos and playing games while your phone is charging will lead to a slower charging rate in order to prevent overheating.

    In fact, if multiple apps are running simultaneously or connect to other devices, which consume more energy than what is being charged, the battery may deplete.

  • If fast charging is not working, check your settings to see if the fast charging option is enabled. 01 Go to ‘Device care’ in ‘Settings’ and click ‘Battery’ 02. Tap ‘See more’ to go to Settings 03. Under ‘Charging’ category located at the bottom, check if ‘Fast cable charging’ and/or ‘Fast wireless charging’ is enabled ※ The fast charging feature cannot be toggled on/off while charging. You cannot fast charge your phone using a regular charger. ※ If fast wireless charging is not working, check your settings as listed above and make sure you are using a fast charger.
  • If the temperature in your environment is too high or too low, the device’s safeguard could slow down its charging. For stable, fast charging, we recommend charging at room temperature.
  • If you are charging with a USB cable connected to a computer, the voltage will be less than that of an authentic Samsung charger, resulting in a slow charge. For the best results, we recommend using an authentic Samsung charger.
  • If there is a foreign object stuck inside the USB port or the cable, the device’s safeguard may shut off charging for its protection. With a soft brush, remove the foreign object and try charging again. For wireless charging, if there is a foreign object located between the device and the charger, the charging may be slowed. Remove the foreign object and try charging again. If there is any moisture detected inside the USB port or the cable, the device’s safeguard will notify you that moisture is detected and will shut off charging. Try again after the moisture is removed. ※ If moisture is detected (water drop icon), unplug the charger from your device. Charging with moisture can lead to USB port corrosion and damage to the device. If the USB port corrodes, visit your nearest service centre for device repair.
  • Charging may be slowed if the cable is not properly connected to the USB port, if the connector pin is altered due to long periods of use or if the surface is corroded due to a foreign object. If charging continues in this state, the device may be damaged or may overheat. We recommend that you have it replaced.
  • Did it stop charging?

    Both the device and the charger can rise in temperature while charging. This is completely normal and will not affect the device’s lifespan or performance, but if the temperature reaches beyond/below a certain level, the device’s safeguard may shut off charging for its protection.
  • The device may overheat if you started charging without closing certain apps. If you think the device is overheating, close all running apps and unplug the charger. Resume charging once the device has cooled down.
  • If the USB cable or the device’s USB port is damaged, it may overheat. Replace it with a new, authentic cable or visit a Samsung Support Centre to have it repaired.
  • Check for any foreign metallic or magnetic objects located between the device and the charger, remove the object and separate the device from the charger. Resume charging once the device has cooled down. Charging while a device is inside a case may cause overheating. Resume charging after removing the case.
  • If charged in a hot environment, such as inside a car on a hot summer day, additional heat may result in overheating. Try charging in a cooler environment.
