Eco charging fp6 too fast

[jan4321]

I tried eco charging option but it still charges very fast. I think that this feature is not working as expected always.
I use 67W charger but prefer to charge 7.5W+ as I am never in hurry and I see many reports on this forum of mobile getting dead due to charging.
I could get some old charger but then I need to carry separate for my laptop and separate for the mobile.
Ideally will be if eco charge will always limit charging, possibly giving few options about the preferred power.

There ia another post assuming eco charge is not properly working. Please report to support

My fairphone 6 died suddenly

Hi all, I posted in this thread on Sept 4th since I had a green F6 which also died while charging. I got a replacement phone and so far it has been good. Out of caution I have enabled a charge limit of 80% and use Eco charging only (slow charging). [Screenshot_20251014-093501] Many people have reported the upper part of the screen getting hot and I have been noticing this as well when I use a charger capable of 30+ W. I downloaded this app called AccuBattery and check it once in a while. …

Edit: and can you check if you disable and reanable before charging that i works? Maybe reboots disable I without really resetting the setting?

Where should I report this to support?
In the fairphone app when I entered support there is only option for diagnosis and repair… Not simply report an issue

https://support.fairphone.com

And in the app, Support > Contact us

Please do also take the time to read around the forum, and the Fairphone website.

I am trying to find a way but ending up in a dead end where none of the options are suitable and there is no “something else” option. Unfortunately I don’t have now time to try figuring out more how to submit this. Already 15min spent.

It is a bit disappointing it is so difficult to just submit an issue like this.

In the app if no other category allows you to say what you need to say, you can choose

• General feedback
• Something else

Both allow free subject field, description and file upload and of course you can link to this thread.

Done, thank you.

I also measured now, using USB device for displaying power that runs through, and it was 9.7V * 2.9A, which gives roughly 30W.
Not what one would expect from eco charging.

30W.

Definitely not. I’m not in a position to test since I have only 1A and 2A chargers and don’t need more, but from what others report there certainly appears to be a problem.

However in my experience Battery protect (max 80%) works.

EDIT - It might be worth proceeding as follows:

• turn the phone on if not already on
• start charging
• in Settings > Battery > Charging mode

• set Fast Charge
• then set Eco Charge.

It’s possible that the setting gets reset in some cases, without the change being visible.

I tested 3 charges and put the result in the other post where we refer to dead ones. Interesting values for me

My fairphone 6 died suddenly

Hi, I checked my new phone in the charger that killed the old one and indeed does still go fast regardless of the setting. I left it few minutes as I am not willing to go again on the same process. I will open a support ticket for this. Also I will try another fast charger I have a home.

Eco charge is not working for me. So sticking to my old Huawei charger.

Hi,
with the new update 15.151.0 I noticed, that the charging in eco-setting get’s now over 3h from 12% to 100%. Before, it was half the time for full charge.
It seems, they have been working on it.
