Hi, my gs2 take 3 hours to fully charge. Charging super slow. Is it normal?
3 hrs from close to empty to 100% ? Absolutely normal. Yes.

Yes. But when 30 tp 40% charging v slow too. is it still new? i jus brought 4 days.
Take it back or sell it .
3-4 hours is normal 100\% charging time .

Some custom roms have fast charge enabled which reduces time, I thought this was strange at first too
Well yeah you can read around the forum and learn how to flash a rom/kernel. Siyah kernel charges pretty fast if i recall corecctly, look it up.

I have seen a few others mention this, any idea on why some of us are loosing 10% of our battery when we reboot?
I'm thinking next full charge, I will do a battery stats erase in clockwork recovery.

It seems like every time I reboot I lose at least 5% battery.

has anyone else noticed that this phone takes ForEVER to charge? My evo would nearly fully charge in an hour and a half, I think my Tbolt, first real charge, took 3 hours.

yeah my iPhone 4 would go from 15-20% to full in maybe 2 hours, on a bad day, and my evo would go from 20% ish to full in an hour and a half.
Guess I am just a little spoiled maybe.
The phone might do a "quick" charge to 80 - 90 percent, and then go into a trickle charge. I can get to the mid 80s in a couple of hours but then is slows down after that, which is a good thing.
I'm seeing the same thing as far as loosing 5-10% on a reboot. Seems like there are still some issues with the battery life on this big guy.

wait you can unplug your phone? j/k
the boot time stock is way too long... the system is loading so much junk it takes alot out of the battery... my guess is checking all the radios and such uses alot of battery and thats why the phone has the fastboot option
Here some info.

Its also better to charge with a car charger or in the wall. USB in pc does take forever if you are noticing it takes longer this could be a reason.
I was going to post this, very annoying to lose that much battery on reboot. On my evo you would gain charge while rebooting on the charger...

This is true. If I recall correctly, according to USB spec a device can draw about 100mA from a USB port without negotiation. With proper negotiation, the current draw can go as high as 500mA.
The stock HTC charger is rated at 1A (1000mA). So at least on paper, the wall charger is twice as fast as a USB port with proper installation. If negotiation is unsuccessful, the wall charger can be 10x faster than a USB port that isn't properly detecting the phone.
Does Galaxy Ace shows a notification when battery is fully charged ? Yesterday I got a new Ace, I kept it for charging for around 3-4hrs.. The battery indicator shows the battery full, but notification on the homescreen(when its locked) showed its charging..
How am I suppose to understand its fully charged..?
Yes, normally a notification should appear when the battery is fully charged!
How much hours does it take to fully charge if the battery is around 5%?
The battery isn't fully charged until you don't get a notification (both sound and green icon on the top-left corner). That's even if you see the indicator showing 100%
Wow..my battery is still blue.. in the right hand corner.. How long does it takes to fully charge?
Depending on ROM / mods, your battery icon may look different. But a notification should show up after around 3 hours.

Well that depends, wether you're charging via USB or the wall-charger (I don't really know the name of that thing xD )
USB charging requires more time, I've tried and it took me about 4-5 hours to full charge the phone.
Tapatalked from my Noirette III
Ok..Last nite... I charged for 3-4 hrs.. but didnt get any notification..maybe I will try it today..Is it ok to leave it on charge over-nite? Maybe 6-7 hrs after a full deplete..?
Have you tried to reflash your ROM? There's maybe something wrong within the kernel.
And about charging overnight... I doubt that's a safe thing to do..
Used to charge my old phone overnight everytime and now it's battery depleted within 4 hours after a full charge.
Tapatalked from my Noirette III
well, certainly not on froyo. probably only ginger has it in-built-i get it on galaxy s (ginger) but not on Ace (froyo).
Hey!
You can charge it over night. And it shows notification in home screen CHARGED!
CHEERS!
@rhadrio I havent re flashed it..just got it yesterday.
I guess the battery nowadays have no -ve effect, if we over charge them.. ? Any one can confirm this?

Of course its NOT good, if you OVER CHARGE it every time. And for correcting battery stats, you need to calibrate it(you must be ROOTED, before use BATTERY CALIBRATOR[free from MARKET]). But still I suggest to use it(BATTERY CALIBRATOR) only if you get too fastley drain you battery(I mean, if you see that you battery getting worst or similar).
CHEERS!
I haven't rooted it yet. I will charge it overnite today & lets see if its works better tomorrow..
Batteries now have built-in overcharging prevention. No worries.
XDA ♥
Well.. I kept it over nite.. In the morning I saw a notification on the phone as "Charged", but I am not sure how many hours did it take to charge it.
I dont know about battery issue aftr overnight charging.....but i used to charge my 5800 overnight daily, i used 2 and hlf years but nothing happend to batry or batry back up...
and if u charge yor ACE with AC charger it will take min 4 hours as our chargers are 0.7A
and if u charge with USB ur cell will get completly charged in half time compared to AC charger

...nope! usb is 500 mA (0.5 A) max - in best case, depending on mode etc. so AC charger is faster as it's 0.7 A. max 3-4 hrs here on ac.
Hi, I think I'm having problems with my amazing Amaze..it's taking just about 5 hours to do a full charge (1%/3min).
Would like to hear some feedback from you guys.
1-How long did your first/second/third charges take (approx).
2-How long does a full (from under 10%) charge currently take?
3-At what rate is your device charging (%/min)
NOTE: I am using a wall outlet and it does say on the phone that it's charging though AC charger.
Check out this thread if you're interested in knowing my issues in more detail:

Do you have an idea of how long it takes for it to increase by 1%?
Yeah, in my case...even with the phone off, it still seems to take just as long.
Cheers
Mine varies alot. If I'm not messing with it and the screen is off its 3 to 3 1/2 hours. However if I start playing a game or just messing with xda it can easily exceed 5 hours. Been thinking about trying the charger for my transformer to see if it charges any faster just haven't yet.

Holy...8 hours? Really? Was that using AC charger or USB? Were you playing with it, or would you let it charge untouched?
Thanks for your reply

Thanks for all your feed back!

I understand that, the charging time is between 5 and 6 hours.
Can you guys confirm this?
Is any thread on what we can do to charge the tablet fastest?
My 10.1 tablet (wifi only) will come in 1-2 days, and i did not know the tablet have such a big time to charge.
I will try also to change the stock rom, any advice please?
Thanks in advance..i will appreciate.
5 to 6 hours sounds about right for a full charge, probably closer to 5 hours. The battery has a large capacity so it's going to take a while to charge from empty. As far as ROMs go if you want an Android 3.2 ROM Galaxy Task or Overcome are popular, if you want Android 4.0 there are some CM9 ICS alpha releases that you could try.
Lol. Mine probably takes 5 hours charging from 40%. No worries though, slow charging is better for the battery. Also keep in mind this battery is about 5 times bigger than an average smartphone battery.
slower the better
it gives me around 4-5 hours of charging from 1 % left. i prfer it discharging full
then charging
4 ½ to 5 hours from 0 to 100 %
It's not a problem. You just have to charge it while you are sleeping
Thanks all, the time is big anyway, lets look to xoom, it have 2-3 hours max to a full charge, and others too, 3 hours. Ah..

That is not healthy for a lithium polymer battery. I only do this once in a while to recalibrate the battery reading.

So..that means we cannot make the charging time to be short..
Hi XDA,
Ive been getting alotta help from you, great developers, and had this question
that dont think has been solved yet. (I searched for 2 days)
So my current situation is;
Im running the latest energy rom (sense 3.0) with stock kernel, (as it was recommended on the post).
After flashing custom roms, beats audio and etc via ADB, i believe my
battery stat display is not normal.
It would take at least 90~120minutes to reach 100% from 99%.
And sometimes even if I have the charger hooked up to the phone
it would still drop to 99% from 100.
I have two batteries (Stock and Anker) and tested them both.
It looks like no matter how long i charge it, as long as i have 100% or 99%
on the battery, it takes around 12minutes and 13seconds screen-on time to drain 10% of the battery. Which it was way less than i expected.
but after dropping around 68~63%, the battery seems to last longer on each
percent points.
On top of that, I think my phone is not charging anymore when I turn to power off. I can feel the phones gone cold and not charging, but the orange light is always on and never turns green for some reason.
So my question is:
IS THERE ANY SOLUTION (LIKE BATTERY CALIBRATION THAT ACTUALLY WORKS?) TO THIS? IVE READ SO MANY THREADS ABOUT THIS BUT NOTHING IS GIVING ANYBODY A CLEAR ANSWER.
I have the same problem as you. I'm on Sense 3.5 RC1.6. Infact I just restarted my amaze in hboot mode and then back into normal. My battery went from 10% to 60%. Then after like 15 minutes of usage it went back down to 10%. Also my battery drains to almost dead at about ~3 hours of screen time with moderate-heavy usage.
have you guys fully charged it ? gone into advanced in Clockworkmod and deleted battery stats?
i havent hacked my amaze but when i had my g2x after every flash i would charge teh battery to 100% then wipe battery stats x2 and then let the battery drain to 0 percent. then it should give you accurate readings
I did that but I used Battery Calibrator app from market. 2 times and discharge to 100%. Also how long should the battery last on average?
I'm runnign stock, it lasts me a day, but depends on usage. I text alot, some calls, twitter facebook, a lot of music, some FML, and some camera lasts me all day, (i charge in the morning so it lasts me a full 24 hour cycle)
Hmm seems as if my battery drains pretty fast. I timed it with medium-low brightness just leaving the screen on, with 3g and music. I get 1% per 3 minutes on. No auto-sync or background data either.
as most of people usually say i should fully drain my battery and charge til 100%,
im doing that right now.
My phone got shut off during my jelly defense stage 13 session
and plugged the phone but it didnt turn on for like 10 minutes.
so i kinda freaked out that the clockworkmod recovery that i have right now
does not support charging when the phone is not awake, but i guess the charging is really slow since i have finally turned on my phone.
im just gonna let it sit on my side table charging, and ill prolly fall asleep..
cuz im definitely not in the mood to watch LeBron James' face tonight.
I will let you guys know.
Thanks.

i hear you.
but after searching several threads about HTC AMAZE's bad battery life,
im slowly being convinced that 3 hours of screen time doesnt sound really that
bad. lol
mine just died around 2 hrs 45 min screen time while the phone was up without a charge for 14 hours. well i guess if i start using the phone nonstop after a full charge, then maybe ill get 3 hours or more.... but still...its only 3 hours...

Once it`s charged make sure you flash 5.5.0.4 recovery. Using the toolkit makes that easy.

ive overheard from someone that 5.5.0.4 is causing bootloops when flashing
other roms, but did you have any problem with this?
