After the last update I have noticed that fast charging is not working properly? Most of the time fast charging is not working. It is only showing charging , not showing 'charging rapidly' . This is happening after the last update. I am getting very much disappointed with this.
Fast charging happens only when you don't use the phone while charging. This was done most probably to reduce the heating. The change happened in last update.
Same thing happening with me tha phone is not charging rapidly..and i do not use my phone while charging...also the phone is heating up too much while charging now
yeah me too...just updated yesterday. today is first charge after yesterday update...been charging more than an hour...i am not using it during charging, though...can nokia / android do something to this?
After May update, it took 1hr 45 minutes to charge from 10-100 %. I am not using it while charging, even my data and WiFi is off.
It will charge rapidly only when phone is idle.
Heating reduced while charging after update, now Max battery temp is 42-43 degree. Earlier it was going to 46 degree maximum. But 45-46 temp is acceptable.
Please note this is summer season, after summer temp might fall little. We will feel phone is getting heated because of metal body.
What Puneet says is bullshit. Quick charge is just broken since May update. It's not a new feature. It doesn't quick charge in idle nor when in use. Sometimes it says quick charging but it doesn't do anything, then it changes back to just charging.
Downlaod the app "Accu battery" and check the current rate when the screen is on and when the screen is off. You will get to see what's bullshit. If the app doesn't show any difference between the charge rate in screen on and screen off conditions, then either your device is faulty or cable or charger. Don't come barging here on my comment.
Almost all of us are saying that we are not using our phone while charging and the fast charge is not working.....but still some people are replying with "don't use your phone while charging"and other bullshit...guys please atleast read our problems... we're not using our device while charging and the fast charge is completely broken...hope Hmd fixes it quick.
Either talk in a proper way in a forum or don't at all. Your comment could be flagged and moderator may block you for disrespectful comments. Most of the comments here says the phone isn't fast charging because it isn't showing "Charging rapidly". Ofcourse, it won't show "Charging rapidly" because the screen is on and fast charging gets turned off while the screen is on. The current rate hovers around 1000mA when the screen is on and around above 2000mA when the screen is off. Whoever is having problem with fast charging, download the "Accu battery" app and check for yourself the charging rate with screen on and screen off. Now, I am not saying if it's a feature but this change happened after the may update. It can be a bug or it can be a feature. Only Nokia can tell this. I am just saying that fast charging still works but only when screen is off.
Its a forum, to express problems. If your device has problem, report it to service center or contact Nokia care.
Don't just call bullshit. If that is really software issue, HMD will fix it.
Everybody will have their own analysis and understanding of the problem. Phone behavior will vary from customer to customer depending upon apps we are using.
You can complain issues here, but please try to respect others views. We are not bullshit and we are not Nokia promoters. We are just using same device, what others are using.
Actually the same problem is happening with me too...fast charging isn't working with my phone after having the new dual volte update...earlier my phone use to get fully charged in 1n half hour but now it takes 3hrs even more...except this everything is working fine... Please Nokia solve this and let us get rid of this problem.....
The new logic seems to be..the phone is idle for some seconds with no screen saver running...while in use it takes 3 hrs to charge.. its showing rapidly when its kept on table and scree. Being off.. charging completes on 90 to 100 mins.. so its not a problem.. the heating is stopped.. which should be respected first..
The main thing is.. I'm using this phone since 01may2018...I didn't face this issue ever infact I was using my phone while charging n it was still showing charging rapidly...but now after this update it's gone completely...wether I'm using the phone or not while charging....
Folks I just checked.. even if i m getting rapid charging which only shows during screen off condition.. the charging is as rapid as before.. i chatged around 38% in 30 mins which qhalcomm 2.0 not 3.0.. that means the kernel is not taking the full current..Nokia needs to fix this issue.. its a bug ! For lowering heat, the charging speed seems to be lowered ...
Fast charging is broken, period. B4 last update the phone fast charged even while in use & lets be honest that is how most people use it. Now when the phone is on it only goes to about 1A while charging and when its off its still not charging at QC3.0 speeds. Its more like 2A charge speeds.
If you think fast charging isn’t working contact the customer support through the support app or >here<. They should be able to help you. If the support can’t help, at least the issue pops up on our agenda and our developers know what to look into.
Further, I ask you to stay friendly with each other and use an appropriate tone in the forum. Calling someone’s post bullshit is NOT appropriate, especially when the person tries to help! So far, this forum and its members have a nice tone and everyone tries to get along with everybody – let’s keep it this way.
I don't think its a bug. The charging rate is deliberately reduced to bring down the heat during charge. Earlier lot of people have complained about excessive heating while charging. Since its very uncomfortable to hold a heated phone , nokia has come with a workround to make it comfortable to use a phone which charging , at the same time without compromising the rapid charging.
This seems to be a very wise fix for the heating issue. One thing to note here is , its impossible to achieve both rapid charge less heat during charging.
Exactly @Vibhor. It seems to be a deliberate change because many people were saying that phone heats up during charging while using it. So, they turned the current down to around 1A while you are using the phone or when the screen is on. Qualcomm's QC3.0 supports current upto 2A and this is fast charging current. After the may update, the fast charging takes place if the screen is off. If anyone wakes the screen using double tap or just the power button, the lockscreen will show charging rapidly and then just "charging". If you don't believe me, just download the "Accu battery" app and charge your phone in screen on and screen off conditions. You will get to see the difference in the app. If the 2A current isn't reached even in the screen off condition, then something's wrong with the device. I get around 800 - 1000 mA current in screen on condition while 2000 - 2400 mA in screen off condition.
@Puneet ... Before the Update the charging current was about 3A always ... Now even in screen lock condition it is around 2-2.5A max.. So may be that's why people are saying that even in locked condition the phone is not charging rapidly
@biswadeep the Nokia charger is rated to deliver 3 levels of current 2.5A, 2A and 1.5A So, 3A isn't possible. I get 2.5A when the screen is off. If you're getting 2.5 A while the screen is off, the fast charging is fine.
@Puneet .. Yes I know about Voltage And Current ratings of the specified charger.. Still don't know how ...But It was delivering about 3Amps .. I checked using those battery monitoring apps and I have some hardware also to track the charging current ... And I'm not complaining about the charging rate .. 2.5Amps is okay for me
Comments
yea. I also having the same problem. Going send to the store to check
yeah me too...just updated yesterday. today is first charge after yesterday update...been charging more than an hour...i am not using it during charging, though...can nokia / android do something to this?
For me,
After May update, it took 1hr 45 minutes to charge from 10-100 %. I am not using it while charging, even my data and WiFi is off.
It will charge rapidly only when phone is idle.
Heating reduced while charging after update, now Max battery temp is 42-43 degree. Earlier it was going to 46 degree maximum. But 45-46 temp is acceptable.
Please note this is summer season, after summer temp might fall little. We will feel phone is getting heated because of metal body.
hopefully nokia fixes this in their next update.. they could rather set a temperature limit below which the phone would charge rapidly.
It is advisory to customers from all phone manufacturers, not to use device while it is charging.
There is no point fighting for fast charging, while device in use. Fast charging is provided for emergency usage, you can get 60-70% in 40-45 min.
As per my view, Nokia 7 plus charging is fine for me.
Again its just my opinion. For more info, watch you tube videos about Qualcomm Quick charging versions.
I agree with Puneet's comments.
Provide on off options for fast charging....
Its a forum, to express problems. If your device has problem, report it to service center or contact Nokia care.

This needs to be fixed ASAP.
