If you charge your vibrant from 0% how long does it take to reach 100%. Mine takes well over 4 hours, so just wondering if its just mine.

im not sure because i have spare battery so i havent really paid attention but id say thats about right.
Hmm... A friend of mine who owns a captivate says that his phone charges within 2 hours. Captivate too has the same 1500mah ago why the different charging times?

wall charger is 2-2.5 hours
Charging off Computer usb 4-4.5 hours the usb puts out less about 200mv so it takes longer
Well it all depends on whether your phone is on and how much you use it while its plugged in.

I usually plug in the phone and leave it until it charges to 100.
Edit: I use a motorola charger (dunno which phone) and its output is 5v(850ma) and I use a ac to dc converter as we don't have ac plug sockets in here. Does this make any difference?

Battery left widget can tell you exactly how long
My phone takes forever to charge. I have had a MT3G and a Gtab and they both charged within 2 hours or so. The Vibrant takes about 4 hours. Heck, my laptop will charge to full in less than two hours.
~2-3 hours. Though I usually charge it overnight and it's never a problem. Most times at the end of the day its around 80-90%
(I charge it while driving around, used for car profile detection)
4-5 hours to charge completely. Samsung phones are notorious for slow charging.

So its not just mine. I normally charge during day (vacations yippeee) as I've been using my phone extensively and 4 hours during day means I can't take my phone with me when I hang out with friends, even if I do get it out it does out easily (cuz I'm a heavy user).

It's really slow for me too and I have been wondering the same thing.
I think it takes around 3-4 hours to fully charge on a wall charger.
With the phone switched off it charges much faster in around 2 hours I guess.
It takes me 4 hours even if it its switched off..

I downclock my processor to 400 and about an 2 hours tops. Also screen is off and super power is installed.

Hey guys I'm getting my new 2000mah battery tomorrow and I want to know some precautions. OK first - when I get it should I put it in the phone and use my phone until it drops to one percent and then recharge fully to 100? Or, should I charge the battery immediately after I get it (assuming it will be at like 50%). Thanks all

After 50% charge it over night (mobile off) . Use it till 50%, charge it over night (mobile off). Repeat it one more time. Than you can use it as usual.
That's how I do it. Read some technical information to know why.

Just wondering, how much did you pay for the battery?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Plug in battery, charge, use phone.
Profit.?
Modern batteries don't need any fancy charging regime. Just use it and charge it as you see fit. It will perform better once it's been used for a couple of weeks and had a few good full charges, but it is not required.
How much is this battery? And how many hours more do you get with it?
Bought it for like 40 bucks from Expansys and it will be here in 13 days lol. Also thanks for tips

Any particular day of the week you have to perform this bizarre charging ritual ? Do i need a special hat ? maybe sacrifice a goat ?
How long does it take to charge your Note using the Stock charger?
Any larger chargers that would speed things up?
My Motorola charger charges pretty quick, about 40% an hour or so

So far right under two hours from dead to fully charged using stock charger.

3 hours for me, dead to full. Stock charger.
Many other threads here already about charging times, charging issues, charging wakelock issues...
Was just curious to know how long it takes you guys to charge your EVOs. I think my phone takes a ridiculous amount of time to charge and the battery seems to discharge at a faster rate than when I first got the phone. I'm am currently charging my phone from a complete drain. It has been 6 hours and it is still only 90% finished. That can't be correct?

Depending on how many accounts you have and at what frequency they update determines your battery life dramatically even if being charged. I have 8 different accounts which the phone says is high but it still takes around 3 to 4ish hours to fully charge from zip. If you basically put your phone in airplane mode or just turn phone off it'll charge fully in what feels like an hour but really probably an hour and a half or so.

Wow. My phone charges incredibly fast. So fast that I never trust it. It'll go from 20%-80% in 40 min. But the last hump from 99%-100% takes a while.

I'm honestly not sure what to think. Next time ill try it with the phone off. But as it stands two hours have passed since I made this post but the battery light still isn't green though the battery does appear to be full according to its icon.

I'm in the same boat. It takes forever to charge. I remember I could be around 25& on the evo and would charge for probably 25 minutes before work and would be fully charged or almost fully charged.
Mine charges faster than my S2 and that was fast. I went from 45%to 95 in a hr.

Mine charges from 20%-90% in less than an hour, but from 90%-100% takes almost an hour. I assume its just the way it displays battery% or the amps drop down near the end.

Conditioning is more important than the initial charging of a lithium-ion battery.
Run it on the charge for an hour or two extra. But make sure you use the battery to around 20% charge then recharge it fully.
Depending on who you ask, this seems to be the best for longevity for Li batteries.
OK thank you
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
it's also very damaging to run lithium batteries flat (like you see in some screenshots where people run it to like 1%)
optimum charge for lithium is between around 30% and 80%. they will get better life with regular top up charges rather than full discharge and charge.
Re Samsung S3 GT-19000
I asked the same question to customer services when I got mine and was told charge first time for 8 hours,. even though the batt will come with some charge already in it,. they told me charge for 4 hours, then you can turn it on but leave it continue charging for a further 4 hours with minimal use, then your ready to go, the standby life is only a couple of days,. from experience, but if your browsing or playing games/watching video etc it will only last 7 to 10 hours,. hope thats helpful,. regards Gwest
No need to charge for x hours before use. That, and those "fully charged before discharge", "fully discharged before recharge" are for nickel battery which has memory effect. Lithium battery has no memory effect but natural degradation. To slow the degradation, just avoid fully discharge and high temperature.
Has anyone had an issue charging their phone to 100%? My phone seems to get stuck at 99%.
I haven't noticed it but in the past with other devices, I could drain all the way down and charge up to full to fix.

Well it takes a while when at 99%, but don't touch it while it's on and wait for it to top off. It's probably trickle charging at 99%.

I read here somewhere that from 99% to 100% took about 20-30mins. It could be a firmware thing or they can be doing what Apple is doing so you don't overcharge it.

I've had my one for three days now and I've charged it twice, the first time it took about three hours to charge and Ya it took a long time for it to go from 99-100 percent the second time it seemed to go quicker...just what I've experienced.

Mine stops charging at 90%. Its weird.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
It charges and discharges to conserve the life on the battery. If the phone was kept on a 100% charge the whole time then that would decrease the life of your battery drastically.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I wouldn't worry about it. It's better to keep it at less than 100%. If there was a manual settings threshold, I would keep them as start charging when below 70% and stop at 90%. This is my battery charge threshold setting on my Thinkpad X230T laptop.
