Strange charging behaviour.

[Ray42]

Since the last update, my A22 5G keeps switching on Battery Protection of its own accord. No matter how many times I switch it off, it's there again. Any ideas how I can stop it from happening?

But it's good to keep battery protection on it protects the battery from over charging itself once 100%

@Ray42 check all permissions again please. 

And you could try > Clear Cache Files from the phone's System Partition Section  > https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-clear-the-cache-on-my-device/ You may need to insert your earphones or hook upto a powered On Laptop or use a Tv's USB Port or a usb-c to usb-c phone to phone set up to access the Clear Partition Section. This may help with lag or stutters as this clears the phone of old/unused or broken cache files.There is also a Repair Apps option in the Menu System too { Possibly excluding the s²⁴ Series of phone's } 

If i can be of any further help please don't hesitate to ask  😎

I've already cleared the cache partition following the update. Which permissions were you referring to?

[Ray42]

It's a myth that leaving a battery charging past 100% is damaging. The charger automatically switches to a trickle.

@Ray42: Please try heading to Settings > Battery > Battery protection, and check to see if 'Adaptive' is selected. This setting automatically switches to the 'Maximum' battery protection setting (which stops at 80% charge) while you're asleep, with sleep time estimated base don your phone usage patterns. If this option is selected, please tap on 'Basic'.

If this isn't applicable, please head to Settings > Modes and Routines, and check to see if any routines are set up which might activate Battery protection under certain conditions. Let me know if this helps.

Erm buy you do know obviously battery does degrade so why does it get warm whilst charging then lol obviously it's the heat that is circulating the battery

[Ray42]

Battery Protection only allows charging to 85% or 100%, not adaptive. No routines set up. This only started after last update.
