[Q] Long battery charge time? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would like to know if its just my phone (O2 PAYG) or others are also experiencing long battery charge time? Mine takes 4hrs from 0% to 100% either connected to wall charger or via USB. Its really strange that it takes so long to charge.
Can you please let me know? It helps me to talk to O2 accordingly.
Thanks in advance.

mine takes little over 3h.

Next question. How long does the charge last? This is another problem I have.

at my desire hd time, 1h after charging to 100% currentwidget shows 0mA.
my sgs2 never reaches 0mA, only 5mA.

What's the average time your G-Tab 10.1 takes to fully charge?

I leave on charger before going to bed, is this advisable? Would it affect the battery life if it's being charged for longer than required?

I don't think so, but if you want to be sure, you may just turn it off while it is charging.

from 1% to 100% it is about 5hours
to 100% - 5 hrs...
I notice that my tab charges faster or slower depending on what the tablet is doing. If i am using it, it takes about 1 hr for every 10%, if its on but screen locked it is about 1 hr for every 20%, and if it is off (but plugged into outlet) i notice it is about 25%-30% for every hour. But it depends on your adapter, power fluctuations and etc (lower voltage gives less amps if the power is not consistent)
Around 5 hours on standby mode.. Never realised during off screen charged.. I heard XOOM one charge faster than Tab..

(Q) charging battery over night

Guys I am wandering, can you harm you're phone if it's left on charge overnight on the quick charger? I put mine on to charge right before I go to sleep, then I take it of if I wake up during the night, or first thing on the morning. Is this dangerous for either the phone or the charger??

Nope. Android will charge to 100%, then let it drop to 90%, then recharge to 100. It wont cause damage/fire etc.
Thanks so much for clearing that up for me

I have always charged my phones overnight and it has never done any harm. Looking on the battery monitor widget the Xperia S charges just like everyone other Android phone i have owned, up to 100% full then just remains on a trickle charge.
Be carefull. It will blow up..

[Q] 2xBatteries, 100% 15mins, Weird!!

I just got a Samsung Battery Charger/Stand with Battery & have just charged the new battery with it, swapped it for the old one that had just run out when I noticed something weird...
The new battery was showing up as 100% for about 15 minutes. During which time I had the screen on for 3 minutes at full brightness.
What does that mean??
I've never seen 100% for any more than a second after I've unplugged the phone.
I'm assuming there's some difference between the batteries and the stats that are in the phone for the battery. I've used the Battery Calibration app before, when changing roms on my old phone, and that would sort out little anomalies. Do I need to use battery calibration every time I switch batteries?
Will this work itself out?
Will this swapping negatively affect my phone in anyway?
I thank you in advance for your help/suggestions
The phone has logic to not let the battery charge to 100% for too long. The charger does not. Battery calibration apps do nothing.

So... the charger over charged the battery?
Will that damage it?

I posted the same thing in the morning on another thread. Great mind think alike! Haha
Well to me it doesn't mean anything wrong really. Just that the phone doesn't fully charge the battery for safety or maybe heat reasons. Who knows? If samsung desktop charger is approved by samsung its good enough to me.

Guess your right.
So yours was saying 100% for unusually long as well?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
It did on my new one for about 5min. Only but I had wifi on and screen and doing some work. It Wasatch new battery and didn't think much of it. I would say that even that was way more than the immediate 99% once off the charger on the phone

Just read your earlier post. Seems strange that the external charger charges more than the phone. I guess I can't complain about a few extra minutes!

Charging overnight

Hey, so is it a good idea to charge overnight? I've heard that the charger may overheat and melt the usb port or something like that. So do you guys charge the phone overnight or not?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Its a bad idea.
usually ppl do keep their mobile phones on charge at the night and unplug it off at morning.
recently even i've asked the same question to the salesman of the samsung company he suggestes me not to do that cause it may harm your battery.

Hey, how you doing bud?
You rooted yet? Lol.......
I don't think the phone will overheat if your not using it at the time but it can shorten battery life a little leaving it on charge for longer than necessary, mine doesn't seem too bad with this setup I'm on now my temp never goes over 35° but before this setup i was getting temps of up to 55° when charging and using the phone at the same time. Don't think thats what caused my problems i told you about with chargers burning out though as the last one happened just as i plugged it into a cold phone.
I've always charged every phone I've ever had at night and haven't ever seen battery life go down on any phone i've owned. Not saying i recommend it but its never caused me any harm.

I have charged my phone for 8 hours over night EVERY night since I bought it (beginning of March), and the battery life is excellent.
Last time I looked at battery stats (yesterday) I had 1d 16hrs time on battery and 3hrs 53mins of screen on time, with normal usage.
My normal use is: about 1 hour music, 1.5hours internet browsing, texts, calls, flashing zips etc
So in short, with my experience overnight charging doesn't harm the battery at all

Not yet, will hopefully get to it in the next weeks. Real busy atm. And unlike on wildfire I don't feel an immediate need to do it
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
you can charge your phone all night, on condition that you must ensure your phone chager is original, if so, you can do it, as the original chager can adjust the voltage of the phone battery. if not, it is very dangerous to your phone.

Average Charging Hours

Hello everyone,I would like to ask you guys about Samsung S3 charging rate which can be considers either slow,moderate or fast.
Well I think my device has slow charging rate,lets say it dropped to 15% of battery,it takes me about 5-7 hours to fully charge.
I have searched via Google,slow charging rate seems like a common issue to S3 owners,yet none of those results show the time taken to charge.
I would like to listen to your experience,as not everyone would charge their device as same as my battery value,so please leave your reply from any value (you think) to fully charge and how long it takes.
Thank you very much,each of your reply is appreciated.
Are we talking USB charging or AC charging here?
Sv: Average Charging Hours
Yesterday it took 2 hours to charge 55% with the ac adaptor.

Max 3 hours to fully charge (0 to 100%) via AC charger.

Remember charge times are going to be affected by battery condition/apps running /syncing etc so a rough answer is really all you can hope for
zero to 100% average time 3Hours .
jje
Average time around 3 hours but not with the Samsung charger, With the Samsung charger I get around 4 to 5 hours and as far as I know I am not the only one. I measure the output from the Samsung charger and I get 4.7 volts. In a way that could explain the long charging hours for the Sami charger.
2 to 2 ½ hours from 5%~15% to 100%, no mobile data, no wifi, no apps running.
~3hours with normal setup. I normally get 1.5~2% standby drain, if that's any help in comparing battery charge rate..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
2.5 - 3 hours, from 2% - 100% using the stock charger and USB cable. There is an app in the general forum which tells you at what mAh the phone is charging. Ensure that you're charging at 1000mAh and the charging will be faster.
Edit: Here is the app - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36124435
Make sure to read the entire thread to get an idea of the charging current. It's not too long.
