"Weak charging detected" has started to pop up often

[Jesus Delgadillo]

So my Samsung members app randomly while charging my phone, says that it detected weak charging, when its "fast charging." Anyone knows how serious this is or how to fix it?

It sounds like to me that it is a defective charger brick.

You might want to try using a different charger.

I've been been seeing it pop up in the last week as well. Usually when I'm uploading a bunch of photos and videos or streaming (or both). Using the stock charger.

I wouldn't worry about it as Samsung members app has diagnostic tools which you can turn off in settings of the app

I have seen this as well. Mainly while streaming and navigating while driving. I bought a wireless charger for my car and seen this. The combination of me getting into my hot car along with the process intensive apps being used had me believe that those were contributing factors. As a result my phone even stopped charging as well some times. I don't have the issue in the morning when its cooler. I haven't seen it while using my chargers in my home or at work.

There's nothing to fix. All that means is the amount of power your phone is using for whatever task you're doing is greater than what the charger is able to provide. The only way to 'fix' it is to stop using your phone. This used to be a big issue with the original LTE phones, but if you're doing something processor intensive it will still happen. (it can happen on any device)

This *is* something that needs fixing. It comes on at night for me and beeps all night every time the message comes up. I have all apps closed and am using the standard charger. I need a way of turning this off.

Welcome to Android Central! What about turning on Do Not Disturb at night so you don't get disturbed by unimportant notifications? You can always make exceptions for important contacts who might try to reach you.

Charger cable is frequently the issue with this. My Note 9 doesn't like one side of the cable head on many Chargers I use. Oddly, it "prefers" the non-seam side of the plug, and does fine with the solid side of the plug on the screen side. I use an abandoned Nintendo Switch charger on mine, and it prefers one side over the other, even without a seam. It's crazy.

iPhone or Android smartphone is charging slow is because of a bad cable. USB cables get dragged around and beat up quite a bit and most people never even think to replace the ones that originally came with their devices Thankfully, USB charging cables are easy to replace.
