Samsung Galaxy S25 users face frustrating charging issues—slow speeds, interruptions, and inconsistent power connections. Here’s what’s causing it and the best fixes you can try now.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Users Face Charging Issues
Galaxy S25 Plus and Ultra users report slow charging and disconnections. A software update is expected, but try these temporary fixes in the meantime.
What’s Causing the Charging Issues?
Several Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra users have reported problems with slow charging speeds and sudden disconnections. These issues persist even when using Samsung’s official chargers, which have worked fine with previous Galaxy models. Users have noticed that although the phone still displays the “fast charging” label, the charging performance doesn’t meet expectations.
Interestingly, the base Galaxy S25 model—which supports 25W wired charging—has not been experiencing these issues. This suggests that the problem may be software-related rather than a hardware defect, as the charging technology has remained the same as the previous Galaxy S24 series.
Temporary Workarounds for Charging Issues
While Samsung has not rolled out an official fix yet, users have found some temporary solutions to improve charging performance:
1. Disable Fast Charging
Navigate to Settings > Battery > Charging and turn off fast charging. This will ensure a more stable charging process, albeit slower.
2. Use the Included USB-C Cable
Samsung Italia’s official X (Twitter) account advised users to use the 3-amp cable with the Galaxy S25 instead of the 5-amp cable from the official 45W charger. This method has helped stabilize charging speeds, even if it means slower charging times.
These temporary fixes offer some relief while waiting for an official update from Samsung.
Why Is This Issue Unexpected?
Charging problems with new smartphones aren’t unusual, but this issue is puzzling because:
The Galaxy S25 series uses the same wired charging specs as the Galaxy S24 series and previous Galaxy models (from the Galaxy S20 onward).
Samsung has used the same fast-charging standard for five years, making this issue unlikely.
Both official and third-party chargers are experiencing the same problems, suggesting a software bug is likely the cause.
Will Samsung Fix It?
Samsung Italia has confirmed that a future software update will address these issues, but no specific release date has been provided yet. In the meantime, users frustrated by the problem might consider exploring other flagship Android devices.
Final Thoughts
While Samsung works on an official fix, users can try these workarounds for more consistent charging. Stay tuned for updates, and let us know in the comments if you’re experiencing similar issues!
