Tips to Fix Slow Charging in Android Smartphone
Here are the working solutions that will help you to fix slow charging problem on your android smartphone.
1.Weak Adapter or Charger
Sometimes due to frequent voltage fluctuations the phone charging adapter can become weak or damaged and a large number of low quality chargers and not meant to face such voltage fluctuations. Due to this it will supply less voltage and current to charge your android smartphone. These adapters are not repairable and the only thing you can do is to buy another charger or power adapter for your android phone. One should buy only original or good branded phone adapter or charger for your android smartphone as voltage more than requirement may harm your battery badly.
Change micro-USB Cable
If you are using cheap and low quality micro USB cable for charging your phone then your phone will charge slowly. This is because these cheap quality cables are unable to provide the required amount of current delivered by your charger and this causes slow charging of your android smartphone. Also keep in mind that the charging cable you are getting must support the amount of current current that is supplied by your phone charger or adapter. So get a good quality and branded micro USB cable for charging your smartphone.
Turn Off Background Applications
When charging your phone it is advisable to turn off all the background applications because these applications will continue to use a share of current from charge for their usage and this will greatly cause slow charging of your android smartphone. Kill all the background applications using Task Manger or restart your android smartphone before you are plugging it in for charging.
Use High Current Charger
You can use a charger having high output current to charge your smartphone faster. We recommend genuine charge from the manufacturers of your phone to charge your smartphone if you are not satisfied with performance of your current charger. You must remember not to use a charge with higher current supply than requirement as this may get your battery seriously damaged.
Do not use Phone when Charging
When charging leave the phone idle and do not use it (do not play games or browser internet) otherwise it will charge very slowly. If possible turn off your phone when charging. This will charge your phone relatively faster. You must even try disabling data connection for faster charging.
Do not charge from Computer USB & Power Banks
Avoid charging your phone from USB ports and power banks of you want faster charging. Computer USB ports provides relatively lower current for charging your phone. The output current provided by USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports are mentioned below.

USB 2.0 –> 500 mA
USB 3.0 –> 900 mA
If it is not an emergency then do not charge your smartphone using powerbanks as this may also reduce the lifespan of your smartphone battery. Power Banks should be used for emergency purposes only and must be avoided for regularly or daily charging of your phone.
Upgrade Android OS or Firmware
