Windows 10: USB phone charging very hot?

For my Android phone I have a USB charger with two 2.1A and one Fast Charge outlets. The usb plug to the charger gets very hot when on Fast Charge. Is this normal and safe? it gets too hot to hold. My practice has beeen to use Fast Charge for only a limited time (say around 30 mins max) and then to complete with 2.1 A. However both of the 2.1A outlets have now stopped working (after about 2 years use). Is it OK to just use the Fast outlet, even if only for short periods?

Very hot when charging

Hi Shaira

As suggested I did a soft reset. Since then I've had no problems with the phone getting hot when charging.

Many thanks for your help.

USB charging

@skaterbuoy

• the particular url u provide is for a usb charging cable
• though u have got an usb charger cable it is not possible to get each and every phone charge by the cable.
• the particular phone must have provision for usb charging, in other words the device should have been calibrated for usb charging.
• examples. Nokia E75 has the provision for usb charging but X6 dosen' have that provision.

 

USB charge Plus

Hello Ziad,

ASUS USB Charger Plus is a program developed for the Windows platform that lets users charge their USB devices such as music players, tablets and smart phones while their computer is in Sleep Mode. The program also lets the USB slot draw more power allowing devices to charge much faster.

You have 2 Options

Uninstall:

If you are not using your device to charge other devices while on sleep mode my suggestion is to just uninstall it. I have that same functionality in my GIGABYTE Motherboard and it makes my Samsung Phone Hot while charging and I still recommend using your Phone Charger instead since it has the right amount of Amp and Wattage.

Install the Utility that I provided and update USB CHARGER PLUS instead to get rid of the Error Message that you are receiving.

Regards,
