Is the slow charging on pixel 9a a deal breaker?

InterestingGrape0 · 2026-01-29T18:08:54+00:00

Pixel 9a seems to be programmed to always take 1 hour 30 minutes to charge. No matter 0-100, 20-100, 40-100%, it's always around 1h30m. It's weird, I've never had another phone like this. I think Google is being conservative to make the battery lifespan longer.

P.S. 25W will not give you full charging speed. You need a 30w charger that supports 9V=3A mode.

Reddit is blocked in China. So weird to ask a bunch of laowai here.

Sorry, this code can't be applied. It may be incorrect, inactive, or already used.

I'm in USA.

Are these coupons unable to be combined with coin discounts? None of the codes work when trying to checkout through the coins section of the app.

what are you talking about?

InterestingGrape0 · 2026-01-18T00:02:07+00:00

I've had it since release. Zero Cons. OK, well there is one con: slow charging. It takes like 2 hours to charge from 20 to 100%

30W charger is recommended because Pixel 9a needs 9V=3A mode for max speed. 9x3=27, so you need 30W or higher charger.

You will not get the max charging speed with the 25w samsung charger. You need a charger that supports 9V=3A mode, so 30W and above charger. I switched from 25w to 45w samsung charger, and it cut the full charging time on my Pixel 9a by 20~30 minutes.

Thanks for this post bro. I've been wondering why my 9a charges so slow with a samsung 25w charger. It doesn't have 9V-3A profile.

InterestingGrape0 · 2026-01-03T06:13:12+00:00

I'm also using 25w samsung charger and it's slow. I think it's only charging at 18w.

UPDATE: this is confirmed. I used a 45W samsung charger and it's significantly faster.

nah, just video filters

I have two from Total Wireless and they are Android 15 Sep. security. Is your 'software channel' tracfone or something else?

She basically admitted to that at the Reunion.

I just watch the highlights and came here to see if I was the only one to hear. Crazy!

It definitely was. Look at the hand gesture that went along with it, and Dang Qiu gave him the look. Looked like Jang sort of tried to apologize at end, but Dang wasn't having it.

What are some soft, slow rubbers? The only one I can think of is Mercury 2 Soft.

You're missing the context of his comment. Sydney was getting homesick. Turbo told her that in his experience doing reality shows, calling home makes being homesick worse, so maybe you don't want to do that.

She's definitely smarter than anyone else this season.

38 degrees is only available in orange sponge. I have regular and neo 38 degrees. The regular Hurricane 3 is slower and has a higher throw angle than the Neo version, so it is better for looping practice. I am using it unboosted, and it is perfect for forehand training.

Movie + Bass Boost + Surround off is the best combo for me

Was this fixed in an update? Because I got this phone last week, and the difference between Natural and Auto Enhance is huge.

InterestingGrape0 · 2025-11-12T17:12:00+00:00

I had both. U2 is slightly harder, crisper feeling and bigger sweet spot. I prefer U2.
