Z Fold 4 Fast charging issues

[NatureBoiyy]

Recently just got a Z Fold 4, when I plug my phone in to charge it doesn't fast charge whatsoever. It'll say fast charging for 2 seconds and then it will revert back to just regular charging, doesn't matter what cable or charger I use it's all the same, anyone else have this issue?

TLDR- You are fast charging and the phone is working as intended. Check battery in settings and you will see fast charger connected.

Came back to post what I found. Samsung even wrote an article about this, on the new phones it will show the charging type for a second then just charging: https://www.samsung.com/ca/support/mobile-devices/what-is-the-fast-charging-feature-for-the-galaxy-z...

It's fast charging but I guess samsung has decided to call it charging instead.

Hello, We understand the importance of being able to superfast charge your phone! For those who have updated their phones to One UI 4.1.1, please take a look at the following:

One UI v4.1.1 shows the type of charging being used in the following two ways:

       1. In the Notification panel, the charging type displays for the first five (5) seconds (e.g. “Fast charging started”

• After the first five (5) seconds, the device will only display “Charging” regardless of the type of charging being used

      2. From the Lock screen, the Battery icon and the remaining charging time for a full charge will show for the first five (5) seconds

• After the first five (5) seconds, the device will display only the charging icon​

If the phone is slow charging or will not charge, this article contains several steps that may correct the concern. https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/my-device-is-charging-slowly-not-switching-on-or-k... 

In the event the phone is not charging and troubleshooting is not helpful, it is recommended to have the phone evaluated at an authorized service location. You can use the following link to find a list of service centers in the U.S. that can do the repair: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/service/location
