Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016) users are reporting battery charging problems

Himanshu, 22 September 2017

For quite some time now, Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016) users have been reporting issues with battery charging. Specifically, they say their device's battery doesn't charge beyond around 85%.

Steps like clearing cache, swapping chargers, charging in safe mode, and even a full factory reset prove to be of no help. Reports say there's a bug in the device's Nougat build that's causing this issue.

While the South Korean company hasn't officially said anything on it, some of those affected say they've been informed that a fix is incoming. A specific time-frame for the arrival, however, isn't currently known.
