These steps apply to Samsung phones. If you have a phone from another brand, check if there’s a fast charging option. It should be located inside the Battery settings.
After enabling the Fast Charging option, your Android 13 phone should charge fast. Also, you should see the fast charging icon after connecting the charger.
2. Check the Adapter and the USB Cable
USB cables and the adapter can break down no matter how high quality the materials are used to build them. You should carefully inspect the adapter and the USB cable for any damage. Make sure that the cable is not bent, otherwise, the wires inside the outer covering may break.
In case of damage, replace the required part and check if the problem is fixed.
3. Make Sure the Adapter and the USB Cable Are Original
It would be best to use the original adapter and the USB cable with the device. Or, you may have purchased it from stores. Not only the original charger offers the best charging speed, but it is also safe as using a low-quality cable could damage the battery.
Verify that the adapter and the USB cable are original. If they are not, grab the original product and enjoy the best charging speed your phone supports.
4. Update Your Phone
That latest software update on your Android 13 phone might have a bug causing issues with fast charging. If so, the company might soon release a hotfix via a software update. The issue with fast charging is more common among users who have installed the Android 13 beta build. After installing the next beta build or the stable build, the problem should go away.
Open Settings and go to the Software update section to check if an update is available. If an update is available, download and install it.
5. Reboot Your Phone
The background activities on your Android 13 phone might consume a lot of power. This could result in faster battery consumption, and hence the battery may take a long to reach its full. Remove unnecessary apps from your phone to reduce the background activity and reboot the device.
You can reboot/restart most Android phones by holding down the power button and tapping on the Restart option on the power menu.
To further reduce the background activities, turn on power saving mode. It dramatically cuts background processes while only keeping the required ones.
6. Change the Power Outlet
If the power outlet has any issues, it may not offer a regular flow of current or the required voltage. It’s quite difficult to predict whether the power outlet is running into problems by looking at it from the outside. Therefore, you should try charging your phone through a different power outlet.
7. Clean the Charging Port
Over time, the charging port on our phones accumulates dust, which can be the source of charging-related problems. The charger may not work as well when the charging port is clean. You should clean the charging port regularly.
Take a toothpick or needle and remove the dirt inside the charging port. Make sure not to damage the charging pins. After cleaning the charging port, connect the charger and check if the fast charging issue is fixed.
So that’s how you can fix the Android 13 not showing fast charging or not charging fast. We hope one of the solutions did the trick for you. If you have any questions, do write them in the comments below.
I have done everything. The update showed up and installed on Feb 23rd whole I was trying to figure out why my phone wasn’t working because of the nationwide t-mobile crash on the same day. I’ve lost notifications. They are all turned on so don’t say “did you try this?” The battery stopped fast charging and yes I’ve done everything except a safe mode thing that someone talked about in another issue. I even went and bought a new phone just to turn around and have my phone of 3 years because the new one did it all too!
