How To Guide Bypass battery while charging/gaming

[PhilMorin]

I am getting my phone tomorrow and i have been looking for 45w brick from samsung but its out of stock everywhere i look but yes the 25w charger that shipped with n20u works fine and does say super fast charging when plugged in so i assume it should work fine, if not i am getting that 45w brick anyways

I wish you the best of luck! This feature has been all but predictable, thanks to Samsung

So from all answers we can confirm that is needed original PD 25W or 45W samsung chargers to get this feature available. I also ordered 25W charger and probably will get it on Monday, after that will share and my results on S23U

It works with non Samsung Chargers, I have a multi port charger capable of 65W PD and that works with Pass through fine.

Else, you can go with this one.

What brick do you use?

I tried:

XTAR PB2S
Samsung EP-TA800
Nektek PDS75

For all of which I used the Cable that came with the S23U.

edit:
Thinking about getting another charger anyway. Probably going to go with this.

Imotep did mention earlier that the ep-ta800 wasn't "good enough" to make the option appear but once he had it appear using his 45w charger then he could also use the ep-ta800 (what a mess!).
I can't speak for the other 2 but my guess is that none are "good enough", unfortunately.

Samsung should smarten up and move the feature (long overdue) in the Battery section.
2 use cases probably even more compelling than gaming:
- navigation (poor Uber drivers killing the phone battery day after day - or the occasional us)
- hotspot, especially these days when huge data buckets and speeds are available ( well, provided you don't live in Canada).

You can add music streamers, alarm clock and many more if you really want to make use of it. Maybe you won't use your spanking new S23ULTRA as dedicated music source, but in 4-5 years from now...

I thought Scamsung cared about the environment..after all they removed even the 1g plastic screen protector from the offer, not just the charger.
The best way to save the phones from landfill is to protect the battery, therefore negating the need to throw them away.

My 00000010 cents

When you lock the max battery to 85% it does the same. It uses the energy from the cable to work and doesn't use the battery.

I'll get this, and let everyone know if it apears magically (thanks Samsung )

Funny things as I saw the phone uses 15W tops in Bypass. I hope they'll enable this to be used in Tasker or Routines (Although I have all bixby stuff disabled on the phone so Routines wouldn't work properly).

I just got my ep-ta800 PD 25W charger and can confirm that it work , the option is appear on Game Booster settings

I enabled it but on game booster menu under Battery it say Charging... are this is like that on others that enable this feature ?

Yes they are out of stock but I love that 45 watt charger. I had the 25w USB-C charger that came with the s20U until it died last year for whatever reason. My biggest grip with it though was the cord was so damn short. When I ordered the 45 watt charger from Samsung website I was shocked to see the USB-C charger came with a 6 foot cord and the cord was twice the thickness. So if you in need of a new charger you can't go wrong with the Samsung one. I love the 6 foot reach because you can plug it in anywhere.

Yes same here but if you look, the battery percentage doesn't go up. I suppose it's to still give you a hint that you're not using battery power.

in the meantime I tried using a Lenovo adlx65ycc3d as well (without any luck)

 

[smurf4eto]

Yes, i read more about it, it just show the charging icon and chargin notification, but when the game is in foreground and you play is bypassed and remain in same percent. When i quit it say super fast charging again and do charging.

Are you sure? If I leave my phone on the charger all night, Accubattery reports the battery charging and discharging all the time, around 1%.
That's not a by-pass, but an upper limit protection.

I'd be happy to be wrong.

 

[AKK03]

The temperature of the phone left overnight farming game cannot be wrong lol

My guess (with no actual fact) is that the 85% is not a bypass because in a game during bypass, you see the icon of the battery charging. With the 85% cap, it simply stops charging. And your output from accubattery seem to point in that direction too.

That said, it's very possible that it would at least help prevent too much heating from the phone as the charging would be quite low near 85%. Not sure how good it would be on the battery cycles though...

I can confirm the Bypass works with an Anker 735 GaN charger, an Anker 100w rated USB typeC-to-typeC cable, and as well the C-to-C cable provided by Samsung in the S23U's box.
The option even enabled itself when chained from the charger to my FNB48 power meter to the phone.

Thanks. I have been considering one of those GaN chargers.

With that charger you can use the PPS to get 25w, it requires PPS with 5A to get the full 45w.

i will report it if my phone already hands on Feb 17th.

i can't test it because offline pick up at that day.

i think max 25 watt charging too.
because at my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G,super fast charging with that charger.

my LG v20 can operate many day without battery.
portable hotspot on 24 hours/day.

i don't have fiber internet at my home.
