how long is your charging time....on and off
Full charge within less than an hour (I don't bother fo check the exact time)
Are you sure? Mine takes about 4 hours.

are you serious????
From a dead tab, that won't even start with the charging cable in it, it takes almost 2 hours, depends on which apps you have installed and running in your tab also your brightness can make charging hard, if you want the tablet to charge faster, the you have to shut down your tab and then charge
I discharge my tablet completely, then it takes about 4 n half hours to fully recharge and in sleep mode battery discharges like 1% every 12 hours, and with heavy use it sucks the complete juice in 8-9 hours.
So I always charge by Folded Magazine for 5 hours..
ok thanks....
on the webpages they say 5h charging time...
mine is 3h with tab switched off...so i´m wondering...maybe with tab in use...
anybody else?

That's what I usually do - I'll charge my tablet when the Low Battery warning beeps for the second or third time and it takes not more than an hour to get it fully charged.
I did time the charging this evening when only 2% battery life is left and it took 1 hour 35 mins to charge it to 100%. My tablet is 3 months old and there are 29 apps installed (excluding those pre-installed) and HK is on 220 voltage.
Brightness on my machine is set to Automatic.

New to the TB - I have a question about the battery. No it's not about how fast it drains. My concern is charging time. My previous phone was an iPhone 3g. It would charge in about three hours. 1 hour would net you about 50% charge.
My TB seems to take FOREVER to charge. As of writing this post - it has taken one hour to charge from 55% to 65%. This is with the screen, data, gps, wireless and bluetooth off. the only thing on is the voice portion. Anything more would be airplane mode.
At this rate it would take 10 hours to charge this phone. On the iPhone, you would get 10 hours usage and 3 hours charge. On the TB you get about 3 hours usage and ten hour charge time.
Does this seem right?
That's not right if you're using the AC charger which came with it. Are you?
If you're charging over USB, it's going to take a long time. Charges via the A/C Adapter usually take about 3 hours, same as your I-phone. The first charge I recommend leaving it on for 4-5 hours to make sure battery is fully charged.
BTW, there's really no reason to turn off all of the features just to charge your phone. I leave all of those features on and still charge in < 3 hours.
well I have been charging by pc usb port on both mac and pc.
Tonight I plugged into ac adapter. It took 1 hour to go from 85% to 99%. 50% faster, but still excessive. It's a ~6 hour charge time instead of 10 hours.
I would love a 3 hour charge time.
Custom kernel that is under volted should help

going from 0 to 75 % will be faster than 75 to 100.. charging isnt a linear thing. as you reach the the end of the charging cycle you are trying to move charge across the battery with a 5V potential but fighting the potential now built into the battery...

Depending on the level you start at, somewhere around 85% is where charging changes over from constant current to constant voltage. If you charge with the AC adapter, you'll find it takes ~2 hours to go from 0 to 85, and another hour to go from 85 to 100.

Anyone else notice or have the same problem? I had mine plugged in to a full 100% charge for about 20 minutes (overcharge), took off charger and installed Chainfire 3D. Instantly dropped to 90%. I notice that this thing usually starts drops to 90% when even doing not that heavy usage. Is this something with these phones or batteries?
I have calibrated my battery on every software upgrade/rom install so roughly 4 times. Happens every time since day 1.

Sorry should of mentioned I do that also.
Your phone says the battery is 90% because the battery meter only reads 10% increments. Probably is 99% but it drops to the nearest round 10.
Given the way the DX2 with stock is you won't get to actual 90% for another 5 minutes or so.
Google the ordeal. Besides the note of 10% increments note the way Android handles charging. There was a TON of "hype" about this and phones dropping the top 10% extremely quickly, but it has to do with how the phone charges and "reads" the charge level. Just not it will never stay at 100% for even a short while, there is nothing wrong with the charging or battery, and its not "ripping you off" of 10% of charge. The battery is fully used and this is meant to happen.
When I wake up in the morning and the phone is fully charged, I disconnect it and reboot it. I use the phone lightly to moderate throughout the day and by the time I go to bed I'm still usually around 30% to 40%.
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..
Hello, i bought samsung galaxy s2 2 days ago and im on the second charging, how long does it take for a battery to fully calibrate??
And what is the average battery life and charging time?
I charge arround 15% in 30min, and my battery lasted for 6 hours after the first charge is this normal for a new battery?
Sry i my english is not perfect...

1. After about 3 - 5 cycles, the battery should be perfect.
2. Charging time is about 2.5 hrs or more.
-If you leave / off your phone while charging, then it should be full in about 2.5 hrs.
-If you are playing with the phone while charging, then it will take much longer
3. Average battery life is subjective and unpredictable, because it depends on so many factors.
- For me, my battery last for about 10 hrs of moderate - heavy usage (4 hrs of screen on time in average)
4. The fact that your battery lasted for 6 hrs after first use is normal. It's just your first sleep with your newly wedded wife.
Swyped from my Galaxy SII
Give it some days to fully settle and 4/5 cycles of fully charge/discharge and then the stats of you battery will be perfect (more or less).
I can get up to six and a half hours of screen usage, with a total of 15 hours of battery life

After the second charge my battery can stand for over 20h... With average use it has life for 10-12h...
How to clear the cached process in the settings - applications tab?
this depends on what apps and configuration and settings you have on your device
Takes 2.5-3 hours to charge when the phone is on and about 2-2.5 hours when the phone is of f.
As for the battery life, lol, it depends on many factors, you know roms, kernel, modem etc.i can get only three hours, because I'm a gamer.nova 3 and mc3 all day and i can get 16 hours on moderate use .6 hours of screen on
Hit thanks if i have helped you......

Hi everyone!
Hope you're enjoying your S23 Ultra as much as I am!
I wanted to see if people were charging their phones to 100%, or utilizing the battery protection bit and charging only to 85%?
I charge it only to 85% and don't let it drop below 25%, what about you?
Thanks!
I created a routine to charge to 85% during work days as I'm home and I don't really care about full battery and 100% during the weekend as I tend to go out and I'd want every juice of it
I charge it every night on my wireless charger and as far as I remember it hasn't dropped below 40% yet.
I charge to 85% and never go below 30%... Long lasting battery for minimum 4 y like my old 10+... after 4 y still 5h of SoT...
That's amazing, thank you both! I've been charging it once every day and a half really! But that's with about 3.5 hrs of SoT and over a day with screen off time

same. I do took care of my battery and my almost 6yo oneplus5 had 4h SOT on a 3300mAh battery (+/- 9-10h sot day1) and uptodate app and rom. I never used fast charging.
After 5 years lithium battery will naturally loose +/-20%.
Then add your use, heat, nb of charge/discharge, you can add an other +/-20% lost.
I was about to change the battery of my OP5 simply to see when this phone will be slow, but in the mean time I dont pay for my phones and a 6yo phone is not that bad.
Pretty sure Ive could get it to 8y and still using all googleplay app no issue.

I do the same.
I switched from a 5 and a half years old S8+ which battery ended dying on me just 2 weeks before the S23 Ultra was released. I had bad habits with the S8+, letting it go often below 20, charging it always at 100 and even using it while charging.
With the S23 Ultra i want to do it right from the start, so 85 max and not below 25. Fingers crossed it will last longer than S8+, and i'm liking it so much that if i manage to keep it in good conditions i might have a the battery changed in 4 ou 5 years instead of switching phone again.
you always can do routine to help. During the day I rarely need to charge, and night I might be around 40%, so not enough to start a day.
- IF hours between 9hpm and 5ham > THEN battery protect 85% AND Battery saver ON.
So plugged during night will never get over 85%, around 30 min before wake up, the phone will charge up to 100% . So it will most likely never be plugged in @ 100% for long period of time.
I set it to 85%. I would struggle to kill this thing in a single day so why not?
Keep in mind that setting it to 85% doesn't stop battery wear if you leave it on the charger as it will keep charging itself every time it falls under 85%.
