Has anyone noticed that charging is slower with 4.4.4 ?

Has anyone figured a way to peek into the rom to find out where the charging rate is set?

You didn't want to root did you?

If you do then doomkernel (and the pimped port for cm/aosp based ROMs) has fastcharge if you want to risk burning out a usb port or the charger ;)

I wanted to flash candy rom AOSP but i have relocked my bl. I am rooted on 108 at the moment. Can i flash candy rom and then flash dual recovery from nut and be fine? or do i need to unlock bl first.

My charging is fine. Still the same.

As far as I am concerned flashing Candy ROM needs changing kernel, and you won't be able to do this without an unlocked bootloader.

i have the same curious question too. Last night i was charging via dock. And boy that was slow! In 4.4.2 it was way faster with the DK30. Don't know why, need more charging cycle to conclude.

.108 rooted/locked_bl feels slower than non-rooted

I noticed that the charge to reach the green led needs much more time than when it wasn't rooted and not unlocked and locked back.

I did a couple measurements by downgrading to 4.4.3

i kept the phone cool with a fan

I didn't see significant difference in charge rates... something like 10% difference, unimportant

When I had a Galaxy Note 2, there was an app which read the charging current from somewhere in /proc, so you could see which chargers were more effective.

Is there an app or a way through adb shell to find the current charging current?
