Fast Charging Stop working after latest Android P update

[Alcagoita]

I was wondering if this is a temporary problem, (before it appends sometimes) but now, my phone never "Fast Charges".
I'm using the cable and charger that's in the original box.

Is there any solution to this?

My phone: No root, security patch June 5, latest beta update.

How many different outlets have you tried it in? Also, I had an issue with fast charging as well on the P beta so I came back to Oreos.

I only have the issue with the pixel on the beta, the other one that I have in the normal build works like a charm (same charger).

Have no idea if this is a known bug...

I'm sure everyone would be reporting it if it were. Very strange though. Why not try another charger out of curiosity to see if it works with it? I'd be interested to see if it did

I am having the same problem since the latest Android P/9 upgrade. Charges slowly with different OEM chargers.

May be placebo. Just because you don't get the notification doesn't mean it's not fast charging. Only way to really know is download ampere and compare charging rates to a phone that does report fast charging.

My phone doesn't get any type of message anymore after certain mods, however, my phone still charges at roughly 3.0 amps

Hello,
I can confim this issue.
Google Pixel with Android P Beta 3 is not fast charging.
I tested it with a power meter and it showed 8 Watts, which is very low compared to fast charging which uses 18 Watts.
Before I joined the beta program it worked just fine.
Using default power brick btw.

Can also confirm it's not working on DP3. Doesn't matter charge level, cable or power block it's only drawing about 500ma to 800ma. It is agonizingly slow. Fell asleep waiting for some power. Woke up from the nap and thought, "Alright, it's gotta be at 100%." Nope just 53%

No problems here, both before and after DP3 OTA and then a factory reset to clear up some fingerprint scanner issues.

EDIT: Try a backup and factory reset...

I figured mine out, I think. I'm assuming there is some type of thermal throttling in the Quickcharge spec, I haven't looked.

It's hot where I live and the aluminum back on the phone seems to absorb every bit of heat when I go outside. It's about 100°F (38°C) at 8:20PM so it never really cools off. When I'm back inside it takes a while to cool off especially if I put it on a charger.

So the only solution it's a factory reset? :/

 

[jswclw]

Can anyone confirm that the factory reset does in fact bring fast charging back? I've had about enough slow charging.

Seriously considering getting out of the preview program to get fast charging back. As someone said, it's not just slow, it is excruciatingly slow!

 

[jringo718]

I'm curious myself if a factory reset fixes it or not. The regular charging is way too slow.

Can confirm this on DP4. Has anyone figured this out? It's driving me nuts. I'm about to flash back to Oreo despite P being the most meaningful Android version upgrade in recent years.

Factory reset didn't solve it for me either.
Fast charging works while charging from my wife's pixel 2 charger. And her phone Fast charges too while using my charger.

Same boat here... Last week with my wife charger started fast charging, but not with mine...

Flashing Android P DP5 has not fixed this. Admittedly, I have flashed using flashall.bat without the "-w" in order to avoid a complete wipe. However, I can't imagine this is relevant to this issue as this isn't a dirty flash, but cleanly replacing the prior OS. So what's up?

I read on another forum booting into safe mode and charging will restore the fast charging. I did it and it worked for my Essential phone. Boot to safe mode and charge for a bit and reboot and it should be working again. The post said if not leave it in safe mode till fully charged and then reboot.

How do you boot into safe mode?

How do you boot into safe mode?

I figure you got it already so before anyone else asks. From the very first search result on Google.

With the device powered on, press and hold the*Power button*(located on the right-edge) until the Power off prompt appears then release.

Touch and hold*Power off*until the Reboot to safe mode prompt appears then release.

Tap*OK*to confirm.*The restart process may take up to 45 seconds to complete.
Upon restart, "Safe mode" appears in the lower-left of the unlock/home screen.

Now you're in Safe Mode.
