Fix Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Battery Slow Charging

 For most of the users, battery draining faster is very annoying. But what’s even more annoying is an issue causing the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Battery slow charging problem. Your Galaxy S21 takes longer time to charge than the usual time it takes for the battery to reach a full 100 percent mark. 

What can be the possible cause for this issue? It’s really not that simple to find the problem. But walking through our guide mentioned below will help you find the culprit. 

Check the Charging Cable 

The charging cable is certainly the most abused mobile accessory. It plays the key role in connecting the charging adapter to the phones charging port. The charging cable faces twisting, stretching even squeezing in our pockets or bags. This squeezing and stretching are enough to damage the charging cable internally if not on the outside. Make sure that the charging cable is in a perfect condition or not.  

The cable should not be damaged. Try to use a different charging cable to charge the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Battery. The results will be simple if a different cable charges at a faster rate than you need to throw the old cable.  

Check the Adapter  

Charging adapter converts the alternative current to direct current, favorable for charging the S21 5g battery. They are fast as 120W and more. Fast charging bricks or adapter cover a major portion of Android Devices. 

A damaged charging adapter can possibly be the cause of Samsung Galaxy S21 5G battery slower charging. The fast chargers are built to allow maximum channeling of AC to DC to charge at higher speed rates. Try using another adapter if it works fine than your old adapter is faulty. 

Configure the Power Source 

Well, the charging adapters are designed specifically for charging the mobile batteries at a higher speed rate. Using other power sources apart from that can be the cause of battery charging at a slower rate. The other power sources such as laptops, cars and even the power banks cannot aid to offer faster charging rates. Only the charging bricks have this capacity to aid for fast charging. Using other sources can be a factor for slow charging. 

Use Right Type of Accessories 

There are millions or third-party charging accessories available be it the charging adapter or the charging cable. Also, fast wireless chargers are available in the market, a great attraction for users. Not all charging adapters or accessories are made equally. Each smartphone has its own capacity to charge. 

Not all the accessories are made from the same material that the Manufacturers are using. What looks similar is the micro–USB OR USB-C jack attached on either of the side. Now using only these jacks will not offer faster charging speed. The material, the tech used is different.  

Connecting a 65W charger to a device which only supports 20W will not charge the battery at higher speed. Not all mobile manufacturers ship the device with fast adapter even if the model supports fast charging. You will have to buy the fast-charging accessories separately. 

The Battery could be an issue 

If you are noticing that your Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Battery was charging at a high speed before but now is decreasing gradually. There’s a possibility that the S21 Battery has started to deteriorate. That’s totally acceptable every mobile phone battery has a specific battery life after which it starts losing its capacity. 

 

It happens depending on your usage too, so you might not notice. Check the Galaxy S21 5G Battery if it is the main culprit. You will need a technician to replace the battery on the S21 5G, as the back is non removeable. Replacing the battery was a kid’s activity back then when mobile phones had removeable batteries. Buy the new battery and place it inside, all set to roll. 

Check the Charging Port  

The phone’s charging port is responsible to charge the battery. However, the daily usage, wear and tear can cause the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Charging Port to be unusable at times. Dirt inside the charging port can prevent the Samsung Galaxy S21 Battery from fast charging or even normal charging. You can clean the charging port at the bottom of the device, using a needle or any sharp object. Do not apply too much force as you may damage the pins inside the charging port.  

There is a possibility of damaged or broken pins, for that you will require replacement of the charging port. You cannot fix the disfigured pins as ports are seldom repaired.  

  

Factory Reset 

If the battery is well and the charging port on the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G seems fine than it may be an issue within the software. Restoring the device to factory stage is mainly the key solution to many problems. So, here’s how you can reset to factory mode: 

• Open setting from your S21 Home Screen 
• Swipe down to the bottom of the screen here you will find “System” 
• Tap on the system settings 
• Scroll down and you will find Reset Options. 
• Select “Erase all data”  
• Tap on “Erase All Data” 
• Fill in the PIN/ Password you have set if required and let the process start  

• When the device turns on now, you will have to setup the device as a new one. All the logs will be cleared. Now is the perfect time to check if the charging issue is resolved or not.  

  

Visit Nearest Service Center 

The last hope is to visit the nearest service center only if the device is still under warranty. Else you will have to pay for the all the damages they diagnose, even you are not aware of. It’s better to get the diagnose by the service center and buy the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Replacement parts yourself.
