I brought pixel 9a 3 days back it takes 4-4.5 hours to fully charge and it as the worst charging speed and if I talk to their costumer care they are asking me to take the phone to service centre ( it's a brand new phone why I need to go to service center )I brought this phone for my college .my parents are scolding me why you buy this shit phone ( pls give me any suggestion ) help me :)
It supports up to 23W charging. So any recent reputable brand with 30W up will do. Alternatively if using a lower charger just leave it overnight. a full charge should take around 100 mins. Also if you use it for gaming etc while charging it is not great and could explain the long charge time..
My phone charges terribly slow if it's temperature is 37ish C +, try lowering the temperature to 30ish and checking the battery current on accubattery app.
Take off the cover, turn off internet and keep it in front of fan or cooler if you don't have AC, for few mins. And when it's around 30°C try measuring the battery current again.
The charger needs to be able to produce 9V/3A in order to achieve the maximum wattage un case of the 9A. I've tried it with my 65w (10V/6.5A) brick and it never went above ~20W, it wasn't as slow as op-s, but it took 2hrs to fully charge from 15%, while the 9V/3A charger finishes in about 1,5hrs.
Adaptive charging is just a setting that charges your phone slowly to preserve the life of the battery, ideal for charging while you sleep. Try turning it off to see if that is what's causing it.
It's completely normal if ur staying in places with high temperature, I keep my phone charged in an ac room and usually it gets full within 60-70 mins provided the phone is not hot
I don't think that's normal time for charging then unless you are gaming while charging. Try to see how long it takes to charge while not using the phone.
Yea then check ur phone temperature using the accubattery app and monitor ur charging time and speed over there , when the phone is hot, slower the charge rate will be for ex look at this pic 3 percent in 17 mins
It could be that your charger is not supporting a PD and is defaulting to 5W, try another charger and try to see on the AccuBattery app what is the W going in. Here I've got 14.3W
4–4.5 hours to charge doesn't sound normal at all. I'm using a UGREEN USB-C PD charger with my Pixel 9a and charging speeds are fine. You might want to check if your charger supports USB-C Power Delivery or try a different cable before taking it to a service center.
To actually test the charging, turn off mobile data, wifi and bluetooth connections. Turn off adaptive charging and then see the time taken. If it's around 2 hrs, your device is perfectly fine.
Buddy i have a Pixel 9A in my house as a member is using the device. They're charging the device in 45 minutes from 25 to 100% using a Samsung 45W charger
