Slow charging

[Niv77]

Anyone experiencing slow charging even if it says it's fast charging?

In the past, it takes at least 1.5 hours or less to charge my phone from 10 percent to 100 percent. Now it takes an hour to charge from 10 percent to a 50 - 60 percent.

Any legit way to check the health of the battery?

I'm using the charger and cable that came with it..

All I can suggest is using a different charger and then using a different battery. But you have probably tried that.

You could try applications like:
AccuBattery https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digibites.accubattery
or
Ampere https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.ampere
to measure your charging voltage and current. That should provide an indication of whether it's charging slowly or quickly.

And what would be the numbers for each?

My V20 is off being used by one of my daughters ATM so I can't give you actual numbers from it; I can give you an example from my Nexus 6P though.

Slow charging - 4.1v and 850mAH
Fast charging - 4.1v and 1800mAH

Some quick charge technologies boost both the voltage and current; I can't say offhand if the V20 uses one of those or not.

my v20 is having 4.1v and less than 700mah.. so i guess it's bad


Okay so I charged it while on safe mode.
530pm 70 percent to 100 at 616pm..

My V20 is around 300mA with screen on and about 1100 mA with screen off. I thought voltage was higher in fast charge?

Idk man. My screen on is around 300mah and screen off is around 400mah. As per accubattery..
Idk why is that
