Fast charging issue please help

[James Burton1]

I purchased a second hand Samsung s10 plus, the seller provided a non genuine cable and no plug.

I'm using a Huawei super charge plug and huawei 5A cable but I have never seen it fast charging. I have changed the settings to fast charging option. It still takes ages to charge.

Do I need to use a different plug and cable or is wireless charging a better option for me?

Battery life is awful compared to my 6 year old huawei, is this normal?

Hope someone can help. Thanks

Welcome to Android Central! If the phone you are using is second hand and a few years old, the battery life may not be as proficient. I'm not as well versed on chargers and wattages as other users here, but perhaps a Belkin charger or a Samsung charging brick will yield you more success.

Good luck, and keep us posted!

I believe the s10+ needs 25w PD usb-c charger to show fast charging

Hi guys, I know this thread is quite old already, but maybe this info could help others.
The fast charging function on the Galaxy S10+ needs to be switched on first.
However, for fast charging to be utilised, there's a few conditions that first need to be met.
- The charger must be 'Samsung Fast Charge' compatible, fast chargers from other brands may not operate in the fast charge mode if the fast charging protocol is not compatible.
- The charging cable used has to be fast charge compliant as well. The cheapie cables from Pound Land and the like don't allow higher voltages and currents to flow through.
- The USB-C connector on your cable and the USB-C port on your device need to be functioning optimally as well. There are instances where the phone charges at a regular rate but unable to get into fast charging because either the cable connector or phone port are damaged or dirty, etc.

I hope this helps as I had to go through most of these before I got the fast charge to function on my 4 year old S10+.

Cheers,
Yusuf
