I got an Evo 3d off craigslist. It is 1.5hboot
How long should it take to charge? My last HTC phone the inspire charged in an hr or so. My last phone before this was the samsung epic 4g. I thought HTC charged faster? Right now it charges at the same rate 3hrs
Should I ask for refund or take it to sprint store?
mine doesn't even charge in three hours lol.

It depends on how you are charging it. If its completely dead and your charging it using a laptop or computer it will take longer than charging it using a wall outlet.
The evo had a larger battery and there is no way it will charge from dead to fully charged in an hour ..just be patient ..wait for the green light
I just use a separate battery charger and cycle 3 batteries. So I always have a fresh one waiting.

The 1.5hboot is the only thing you got screwed for
But yeah, the battery does take pretty long to charge. Also if you didn't know, when it gets to 100% it depletes automatically to 95% and then charges again to 100% and keeps doing that till you take it out the charger.
From completely dead, using the wall charger, it takes about 3.5 to 4 hours for mine. This was before I bought the 2 Anker battery + external charger combo. Now I rarely have to plug in my phone except to top off the remaining 10% on the OEM battery that the external charger doesn't charge.
Thanks guys
Can you post a link to those anker batteries?
I don't even know how long mine takes I just keep it on the charger while sleeping, and when I wake up, it's full.

My phone takes about 6 hours to charge completely ... but then again.... I have an uber battery
from what others have said its normal mine takes about 3 hrs from 1%
i use batter indicator widget (paid) and it shows how long it will take to charge usually is correct too.
From dead to full mine take about 2 hours from the outlet... So i guess it varys....
EVO3D seems to charge diffrent then other phones. Mine will get to 90 percent ish in 90-120mins, that other 10 percent seems to take an eternity to get to. I think as the phone gets full the charging slows down to a very low trickle charge.
I noticed that while I have my Note charging from the wall, the battery will drain if I have the screen on or browse the internet. LTE coverage stops about 5 miles from my house, so I was browsing the internet on HSPA during this time. I tried wifi for a bit and it still drained. It will only charge when the screen is off, when I turn it back on the battery starts draining. Does anyone else experience this?
EDIT: It also takes forever to charge. I'm not as concerned with that as much right now though.

Yes mine does this too, i dont really care since my phone lasts 16+ hours i usually just start charging it when i go to sleep.
but yes i have this problem.
I just got my phone yesterday so I don't know how long the battery will last for me, but having it drain while plugged in is really annoying. I plug in my phone overnight and will read news and browse the internet until I fall asleep, so I don't want it to discharge while I'm doing that.
I'm testing the ipad charger we have, as it offers 2.1A instead of 1. If the phone can make use of the extra current it may help. Otherwise the charging circuitry is just what it is.

Same here. Which sucks for me since im a heavy web browser during the day and can only get 6 hours of battery.

Please let me know your results. I will buy a new charger if it prevents this.
This does not happen with mine. I just ran a test - started at 82% on the wall charger. Currently tethering via wifi, doing heavy surfing. Also opened Opera and kept refreshing a page every 20-30 seconds to keep the screen on and to simulate surfing via the device itself. So doing double surfing. After about 10 minutes I was up to 84%.

That's good to know that at least one person doesn't have this issue. Hopefully more people reply so we can see how many people are or are not having this problem.
For some reason after my first charge my streak never chargers to completely 100 percent. Only 98 percent no matter how long I charge it for. Anyone know why?

My note charges while using it as well. The ipad charger likely won't make a difference unless the circuitry in the Note is different than the Galaxy Nexus as I tried an ipad charger with that and the current was so high it shut off from overheating..
Also your phone has software in it to prevent overcharging. What it does is it will charge to 100%, then even if plugged in run off battery power down to say, 95% and when it hits that lower threshold it will charge back up to 100% and so on. This is probably what you are seeing.

I've noticed something similar to this and attribute it to the dual core processor and movie-theatre-sized screen.
Actually, my Note takes longer to charge on any charger other than the one that came with the phone, unless I have it charging off a usb plug directly into my computer (for some reason). However, I will say that unless I'm doing something super data/GPS intensive like Google Nav, the battery will not continue to discharge while plugged in, so it's possible you might have a crap battery.
I would power cycle the thing a few more times and then if no different, try and swap out the battery.

Chalk me up on the list for those that have draining batteries while being charged. I don't even have to be doing anything on the phone except making a phone call... and it will drain.
I have a little update to my problem. Instead of using the cable that came with the phone, I tried a 15ft cable from monoprice that I had laying around. Now the phone charges when in use, and chargers much quicker than it did with the Samsung cable. So I am happy now.
I am having the same issue. It takes more than 15 hours to fully charge, then only get about 6 hours of usage. It will also drain if plugged in and I am using it with the screen on. This should not be happening. I believe that the battery is defective. If there is no fix for this, I am going to exchange mine. I read about the outstanding battery life on this thing and I want it! I was tired of getting only 6 hours on my Dell Streak and paid full price for the Note hoping to get at least 10-12hrs. I can't even get the thing to fully charge.

If you're using the stock charger and cable, something is wrong. Period. It takes maybe 5-6 hours to charge from nearly flat, probably less.

Using the stock charger plugged into a wall outlet? Or charging from a USB cable plugged into a computer?
in my experience since I got my note a month ago, different usb cables seem to vary in charging speed, even using the same usb port on my computer or the wallwart. I know that prob makes no sense and i can't explain it, but I have a cable that has those rf chokes on each end, and it is thicker than most cables, seems to carry current better or something. I am charging from a usb3 port on my desktop, and have fast charge turned on so that may be affecting it.
I can use my phone, while charging and I gain 1% about every 5 minuets.

Just wanted to see everyones charging times, this is from about empty to 100% or when the led turns green. Just choose the closest one that suits you.
Mine gets it done in 2 1/2 hrs.
Didn't mean to thank you.
It takes like 2.5 hours also thru wall charger.

Used to take many (5-6) hours when doing it via USB, but the fastcharge patch in some of the kernels has changed that to almost wall-speed (2-3 hours) charging.
depending on what I have running, I have charged from dead in just over an hour. If you need a quick juice-up turn turn off Data/Wifi/BT/GPS and you can get a good 60-70 in just over half an hour. You won't miss much world action in that time......heck, it's barely 2 rounds of COD.
2 1/2 hours with wall charger.
same here 2 1/2 hours with wall charger
A lot less with an HTC Charger
As discussed in the downgrade from 1.5 hboot thread, the "official" HTC chargers output more power than a lot of the generic chargers so if you use the wall charger that came with the device it should charge quicker
1 1/2 hrs - 2 usually
but the rom im using only gives 5 hours of heavy use :\
I joke I joke, 5hrs of 4g connection is not bad, not great but not bad.
currently using Romeos3d Iceslated II with stock kernel I believe. the ported Ics has some battery drain issues when your actually using the device
Like 6 hours, I use the battery wall charger and pop a new battery in. So no downtime and always have my phone with me.
I have no idea. I plug it in when I go to sleep and it is charged when I wake up.
mine took 4 horus to fully charge.. any 3rd party battery that you can recommend?
It takes me 2.75 hours to charge from 1%. The HTC wall charger works best since it puts out 1A at 5V. You can buy this OEM HTC charger w/cable really cheap on Amazon. I got the one with the OEM HTC cable. I have one in my computer room, living room, and travel bag. It takes me 4-5 hours using my Sprint car charger. I need to look for an 1A+ car charger.
it usually takes 3 hours if I activate the mobile data connection with auto-sync enabled, if I don't, it only needs 2,5 hours to get fully charged, but I usually prefer the first one.
Loving my Galaxy SIII so far, but I have one 'gripe'. Is it just me, or does the GSIII take a long time to charge fully using the included charger/cable? I only have limited experience with this, but this morning I ran it down to about 2%, then powered down and put it on the charger and after a couple hours it was just at 69%, which really surprised me. I expected it to be (nearly) full after a couple hours.
I'm coming from an (original) Evo, which was rooted running CM7 and it always charged quickly on any wall charger. Not sure if that was a 'feature' of the ROM, or that's just how the battery was?
Anyway, what have you noticed about how long it takes to charge your phone? Long time? About right? Anything I can do to speed the charging?
Thanks!

Yea, I fully charged it on Wednesday, and then powered on and activated it Thursday. That was the first time I fully discharged and charged. Could have something to do with it, you think?
I noticed that the OEM (charger it shipped with) also is a bit on the slow side, but sicne I typically am charging over night it doesn't bother me. I have many microUSB chargers but I haven't messed around with others yet.
Wow, I just used it for the first time last night and I thought it charged up pretty fast. And this was with me watching youtube videos and exploring the phone while it was on the charger.
Aren't slower chargers typically better for batteries?

Chargers that ride the small bus to school.
The GS3 has a bigger battery than the og evo. I'm not sure how big it is but it is definitely smaller than the GS3. So maybe you're just used to the evo battery charge time.

That could be the case? I ran it down to 15% yesterday, turned it off, and let it charge for an hour a day it crept up to 58%. Disappointing, but it sounds like this is normal? At least it doesn't guzzle battery!

100% normal
2-2.5 hours to get a full charge
Coming from a galaxy tab 10.1 with a 5.5 hours full charge, I find the S3 charging really fast lol
How long should our Note II take to recharge from 0% to 100%? Problem with practically all Android phones is that it just takes way too long to recharge. Last night I plugged my Note at about 1AM, depleted all the way down. When I woke up at 7AM, it was still at 70%. Does that sound about right for everyone? I understand that we have a huge battery capacity but the limitation with the microUSB port is definitely there.
no something is not right...my device recharges in 2.5hrs from below 10% to 100%
You using an outlet or CPU?
if CPU, are you directly connecting to a USB port or a hub?
My cpu charges so slowly compared to an outlet.

You tried different outlets?
I would turn the phone off, try dif outlet, try charging it, see if it is any better.
If no, probably something hardware related.
if yes, probably something you have installed then i would just restart from stock.
It takes me about 2-3 hours with the oem charger.

I've been having this problem too, and I can't really pin it down. I'm using the charger that comes with the S3,which is only rated at 1amp so I know that's the biggest factor. However, sometimes it charges to full in a few hours, other times after a night on the charger it will have only made it to 60% or so. The real stumper is that it only tends to drain about 1-2% an hour in deep sleep, so it's not like it's draining faster than the charger can keep up. It seems completely random. I'm ordering a 2amp charger to see if it helps, im sure it will, but I'm just confused by the random nature of this.
Yea something is definitely wrong. Mine charges in about 2.5 hours from near 0%. Try a different outlet

I use the cable the phone came with and I can go from 2% battery life to 100% in about 3 hours. Hella fast, luv it.

Yeah about 2-3 hours is my usual charge time from 20% to 0% range respectively.
I still can't help but feel that that is somehow slow though. Can't tell, it's been so long since I had a small battery I don't know what a fast charge is nowadays.
Going from zero is way different than going from 1% the battery tries to protect itself so it trickle charges for a while. Honestly going from 10-100 should not take more than three hours probably closer to two

not sure if this helps, but do you have light manager installed? I had an issue when I first downloaded it and set it up, that night when I went to charge it it would charge VERY SLOW...I finally isolated the issue to light manager....I uninstalled it and reinstalled and it has been fine ever since. The Note 2 for me now charges faster than any device I have ever had.

Hi,
This is what I have found. Sometimes when the microusb end is plugged into the phone that the phone charges at usb rate instead of ac which is wall outlet. I only have this problem with a standard usb cable in the car. Will change it soon but. What you can do after you plug in the microusb into the phone goto settings then battery and see how the phone sees the charging its getting. It will say either usb or ac. Ac is full charge rate usb is much slower since usb like off a pc or laptop has a lower output to your phone.
If you see it takes more than 3 hours to charge your phone and it says ac in settings then you definitely have a problem with either the charger, usb cable or phone.
Thanks,
Bryan
If you're using the cable and charger that came with the phone, you have a problem. Based on what you reported, I'd say you're using a 1A or less charger.
