I switched to my Note 4 cord and charger and it fast charges everytime now. Guess the Note 5 charger and cable is trash.

This is exactly what ive been saying. This is a cable/charger issue. The cheap 3 dollar monoprice cable is very well made and actually snaps in when you connect it to your phone. Works EVERY time for me and ive been using it for a few weeks now.
People have actually sent their chargers back in and they still had the issue and then when their phone was switched out, the issue went away.
This issue is not one that is happening right away. I wasn't even having the issue when this thread was started and many didn't have the issue until after a few weeks, after some updates came out..
Stooooopid issues that should not happen from any device. There should be a recall lol.
Monoprice is the best btw. Been using them for years and years.
I can fully see that happening. Swapping a P.O.S. oem cable for another P.O.S oem cable.
Agreed. However when i reported the issue to samsung they wanted me to send my device to them for repair. Not happening when such an easy fix is available.
Why is it so hard for you to understand not every poster in this thread is having the same exact issues you had? You had a bad phone with a bad charging port. Ok, we get it.
Read this thread. Many users are solving this issue on their own with different cables.
Please stop giving out misinformation.
Well to put it more politely, you saying that all phones share your phones problem is incorrect.
If it is a phone problem it doesnt make sense that a new cable would temporarily fix the phone.
Nor does it make sense that in my case my moto x pure charger works flawlessly on my phone as well as my note 5 charger with the new cable.
I have a one month old Note 5 on Verizon. On an everyday basis, I use 5 different chargers in 5 different locations.
old S3 charger in the bedroom at night
Note 5 charger in kitchen
verizon charger at work,plugged into extension cord
Samsung car charger in car
portable battery pack from Samsung
all of these would fast charge, all of the time, at any battery level, until yesterday. Now the only one that fast charges on any kind of basis is the stock Note 5 charger, and this one needs to be unplugged several times before it fast charges. Simple logic tells me that it is not any of the chargers that are causing this problem.
Ive been enlightened. A new cable fixes a software problem.
And no my oem cord does not fast charge my x pure.
kelly, your method of unplugging and replugging neither appeal to, nor work for me, neither did switching the charge block. both worked on my wife's s6, neither wrok for my note5. meanwhile the monoprice cable works 100% of the time (for both phones, both blocks). it also fixed my buddy's note5
do i understand why? no. I SUSPECT the oem cable and oem note 5 port are both crap in ways that compound, and I SUSPECT switching the cable helps, but these are just suspicions, same as yours.
--> I know that my problem went away with switching the cables and others SHOULD try this, despite the fact that you can't logically square it.
PS any solution involving samsung is a big fat waste of everyone's time - samsung takes literally forever to get work orders done. their aftermarket support is absolutely amateur
Ten days is a loooong time to not have your phone.
