Phone (2a) - Fast Charging

MohanPrasath_bQVADZxOrU · 2024-03-15T18:29:48+00:00

Hi guys, I bought my Nothing phone (2a) one day ago. Had ordered the Nothing 65 watts charger with the phone. Since then i have been noticing this constant...

I tried the techniques mentioned in the forum - unplug and plug in charger, use higher wattage PD chargers. None seem to solve the issue for me. For the screenshot below, I’ve used 65 Watt charger

krishhteja Did you try disabling sleep optimization? It is always disabled for me, never had any issues.

I’m am using an Anker 45w PPS charger and it’s fine since the latest update. I was leaving the phone without using it before to achieve a rapid charge but last night I put it on charge and was force to use it. The rapid charge continues even while is was using it. It went from 8% to 100% in about 50 mins.

DevAnanth superdart is not compatible with PD, PPS. You’ll notice slower charge times compared to Realme phone. But you don’t have to rush to buy a new charger. It’s safe to use but just slow. Wait till the charging scene with NP 2a matures and then buy a suitable charger.

JeffiEdward no my mothing 2a is up-to-date but charging is very slow with cmf charger

JeffiEdward

siddu2724 but today I charged after latest sw update, and my phone got charger exactly in 1 hr from 10%-100%. But am not sure if the issue is fully resolved or inconsistent. Will update further. Mine is official nothing 45w charger.

Something is very wrong cmf 65W GaN charger is taking very long time to charge the phone 2a.

Totally unacceptable, fix needed ASAP.

16% to 98% in nearly an hour.

I am using a samsung 25 w charger . shows rapidly charging and I think is fast enough. was also working before 2.5.4.a too.

I am following this thread since the day I bought my Nothing Phone 2a and also struggling to find a suitable charger. So here is my experience with different chargers which I tried, hope some of you would find it helpful. I have used Ampere app to measure current flow to the phone.

One Plus Charger 80W SuperVooc - since it runs on a different technology as required by nothing phones, charging speed was way slow. The phone was drawing around 500-600mA of current.
Vivo Flashcharge 44W - better than others, charging time was around 2-2.5hours for 10-90%. Phone was drawing around 1.8-1.9A of current.
10W original iPhone charger - around 500mA of current
An old Vivo charger (one which used to come during type B USB ports) - around 800-900mA
Amazon Basics 45W charger - the best I have found, draws around 5.8-5.9A and charges the phone from 7% - 100% in around 70-75 minutes.

So the best I have found till now is Amazon basics 45W charger. People can try that and confirm if it’s working for them also.

Hi,

I purchased Nothing Phone 2A, official charger is Out of Stock. I tried below adapters as of now:

1: OnePlus Original 65W charger -> 1 % in 2 minutes. (Charges my 9RT phone 0-100 in 25 minutes)

2: OnePlus Original Dash charger -> 1 % in 2 minutes. (Charges my 6T phone 0-100 in 50 minutes)

3: Samsung Original Charger -> 1 % in 3 minutes. (Charges my Samsung A32 phone 0-100 in 90 minutes)

4: RealMe Original Wasp Charger -> 1 % in 2 minutes. (Charges my RealMe phone 0-100 in 45 minutes)

It only works with my Nothing Original Adapter which I use for my Nothing Phone 2.

Seems all original brand adapters are useless. If it has to be Nothing Charger only then it should be in the box. Very very disappointed with this.

Can anyone suggest why these superfast chargers not able to provide fast charging to Phone 2A????

ReddyAnna

mohammadfarooque That’s because all those charges (I’m not sure about Samsung A32) are incompatible with the charging protocols supported by nothing 2a. In theory, any compatible (PD, PPS fast charger) third party charger should work with the 2a. The ones you listed aren’t compatible.

JeffiEdward just check with multiple occasions . Sometimes it’s behaving inconsistent in charging time

mohammadfarooque

ReddyAnna Can you advise any adapters? If possible with purchase links please.

ReddyAnna

mohammadfarooque that depends on your geographic region. Samsung 25W fast charger is a safe bet. The charger is reliable and gets the job done. For full rating you’ve got original Nothing 45W charger, CMF 65W GaN adapter, Anker 45W PD, Anker 65W GaN, etc. Lot depends on your geographic region and budget.

baymax

Appu_HRMxwUuBda yeah, even in my case it’s inconsistent

MohanPrasath_bQVADZxOrU same issue here, I’m using CFM 65W charger, Nothing C to C cable, when charging it shows charging rapidly, but actually it took more than 1 and half hour for full charge, also sometimes it didn’t sense the fast charging.

I have original nothing charger adaptor, when I charging my battery stuck at 76% it’s happening when I installed last update check my screenshots

georgios1 Bro mine is inconsistent even though I use the official charger. Need to plug and unplug and sometimes the fast charging just suddenly stops and slows the charge.

I think that we need to provide more details and better feedback to the community and the Nothing team if we wish to help them getting any issues resolved.

It would be great if we could try to debug the issues we might face by testing different workflows.

For example, do you have “Sleep standby optimization”, “Battery health” and “Battery saver” all disabled/off or not? I have all three off and I have never had any charging issues since I bought the official Nothing charger.
