I bought a new tablet but I’m unable to use the charging cable it came with until I can get an adapter because I don’t have anything that can except USB type C. I have multiple cables with a USB A connector but the tablet says that it’s “slow charging” when I use them. I tried to look this up before posting but for some reason, a lot of websites refer to “normal changing” as slow charging now and I’m unable to find anything relevant to my issue. Would I be fine to use the other cables I have until I can get an adapter?

Edit: I no longer need help with this. I originally made this post because, for several years, I was told and had read that both slow and fast charging damaged batteries significantly more than normal charging. But, as multiple users have stated, it seems like I was being told and reading false information and slow charging is actually better for a battery than normal charging.

    For example, my phone will limit it’s charging speed at night when I have an alarm set, because it assumes I won’t need it until my alarm goes off

    Is this a setting I can use in Android/Graphene?

        Thanks! I also have a Pixel but with Graphene not stock Pixel Android OS. I’ll see if I have that setting :)

        Edit: That link seems to suggest it’s for Pixel 4 only, which is not my phone. Shame, but I’ll check later to see if I have the setting anyway

          That link was just specifying that there was a difference between adaptive charging on the pixel 4, and later pixels. All pixel phones from 4 onwards have it, but I’m guessing it’s a pixel software specific feature.

            Ah right, my bad. Well I’ll check if Graphene has it when I have the time to look through my settings today
