Fairphone 3 is not or only slowly charging with different power adaptors / cables

[anon9989719]

Yes I have had similar problems and contacted support@fairphone.com
However there response was less than unproductive so I gave up. Strangely things have improved a bit since I bought the phone in Oct 2020

Here’s my post on the issue followed by my Guide on battery charging

Charging Slowly or not at all

This is not a solution but a notification. An issue i had with charging was that i had the wifi on and the phone was ‘charging slowly’. The result was the battery was discharging as the wifi used more than was being input. I imagine the bluetooth being on has a similar effect.
