Charging confusion

[GatorBrink]

Sence the marshmellow update fast charging is gone. When i plug in my phone takes forever to charge. If i go to settings and battery and then details it sais im charging via usb not charging via ac. Called samsung and they just ran me through the basic restarting like 4 different ways which i already did. Ultimately they said id have to send my phone in for repair. Personally I think it is a problem with the newest update. Anyone else having this problem? Charge times from 50% can be anywhere from 2hr 30min to 16hrs. It shouldnt take this long to charge

I had this issue a while back, but it wasn't update related. It was actually a cable issue. Try swapping the cable for a new one and see if that fixes it it did for me, and a bunch of other people here.

OK, I've followed this discussion getting more and more confused. I have a Note 5, with AT&T, running 5.1.1 and I've NEVER seen anything about fast charge. I use Samsung chargers, third party chargers, OEM cables, off the rack cables, short cables, LONG cables, and I've never seen anything about fast charging. Everything I use brings my phone from 15% to 100% in about an hour and a half. Every time! Even my car charger does it. I've even used a li-ion battery pack and gotten that fast a charge. There only time it's taken longer was plugging it into one of my computers.
Is fast charge a carrier feature? Not that I'd want it any faster, but I haven't read anything that says carrier specific.

Go to settings, battery and make sure fast charginging is enabled.

Hence the confusion. My phone has no reference to "fast charging." So is this a carrier feature? Like I said, mine always takes an hour and a half to fully charge. Regardless whether I use Samsung chargers, generic chargers, cables...

It might be a carrier feature i have an AT&T note 5 and don't have that option either but when I charge my phone in it says fast charging and when I pull the bar down it says fast charging 1 hour and 56 minutes till charge done.

Gatorbrink what phone charger r u using? What carrier? I had the same problem before on AT&T and then had a software update that fixed the charging issue.

Same issue. Just started today.

Contacted samsung and they just told me to go to BB to have the software reflashed.

Fastcharging was working fine. Until just a few minutes ago.

Sprint on marshmallow.

I think its the cable or the adpater and im wasting my time. But we will see. I highly doubt they'll give me a new cable and adapter. probably force me to send in which means weeks with out my phone which i will not do.

For reference, Settings\Battery"Fast cable charging" is an option on the Verizon Note 5 with Marshmallow.

My got a uscellular note 5 a couple weeks ago and the fast charge option isnt in the same place as my verizon, cant remember where it was but it was already on.

Its amazing how different two phones from different carriers can be.

Sent with my white Note5 with nonremovable back and no SDcard!
