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.

How long does it take to fully charge your phone with say 30% battery left? I'm curious...

About 3 hours.

Same as above and it lasts much longer of the charger. Well worth the extra bulk IMO
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
It only takes 2 - 2 1/2 hours tops from a completely dead battery.

Depends on the charger you use. If you use the charger that came with the rezound, only a couple of hours from dead battery.

It also depends whether or not you're using your phone while on charge as well.

Off topic but does anyone know of a rezound battery that comes with more power but same size cell? I really don't want to use an extended battery cover.

In the accessories thread there is a topic on a mugen? extended. It fits in the stock cover. Not sure how good they are. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545032

I have heard that the mugens do last longer but after 3-6
Months they degrade and end up like a stock battery. Not worth it in my opinion. But for extended, it takes about 4-5 hrs to charge mine but I only charge my phone via usb, not wall charger

mine can charge in a little under 3 hours with a dead batterry... but then again it is never dead...
its like it cant die. Running n64 emulators, streaming netflix, it still trucks through the day.
I bought the OEM Thunderbolt Extended Battery. Same results as above. 3 Hours to charge from dead. The bulk is also definitely worth it as stated above. After 26 hours I still had 10% battery life. I used bluetooth, wifi, played music, and games though out the day. (Pokemon, Shadow Gun). About 3 hours of screen on time. I do only have 3G enabled (CDMA Only). I'm in a 3G only area.
My phone takes about an hour to fully charge. From 30%, I'd say about 45 min.
Everybody else takes a few hours. I guess mine is just really fast.
Ok thanks for the replies. Thought maybe my battery was defective, but three hours seems about right. My tbolt extended took hour and half, so i thought there was a problem.

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.

My battery charges way too fast...

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.
Well schools about to start and I need a Rom that has really good bat. Currently running viper with no mods and it lasts a good 5hr

Did you try calibrating the battery again? 5 hours is pretty short. Turn off auto-sync, and stick to 3g. And you should have access to WiFi in school, right? I got the extended battery. Money well spent. Shop around, I'm sure you could get one for a decent price.

Calibrating the battery? Is there an app for that? And school doesn't have WiFi so 4g is essential. And extended battery is too expensive. Does the aosp or cm9 do well? I don't want to flash a whole new ROM just to test the battery lol

Grab a spare standard battery and a cheap battery charger. All together its like $12 plus shipping. I got two extra standard batteries. I put on in my backpack and leave the other at home for trips and stuff.

That or get an emergency battery pack they usually can charge your phone twice before needing to be recharged and mine was $30

Are you saying five hours screen on or five hours total?
Five hours screen on is fantastic. I don't think you can do better than that. Five hours total is terrible. If that's all you're getting then something is wrong.

Ineffabilis dues 1.1 has great battery life. When I stick to just 3g, a carefully adjusting brightness, I can get 15+ hrs with moderate use with 2.5-3 hrs screen on time.

Same rom, same stats for me, but I am on wifi most of the time. I can get up to four hours screen on if I'm mostly only using the phone to read a book (FBReader).
Thanks! I'll try it out today
