Hello everyone,I would like to ask you guys about Samsung S3 charging rate which can be considers either slow,moderate or fast.
Well I think my device has slow charging rate,lets say it dropped to 15% of battery,it takes me about 5-7 hours to fully charge.
I have searched via Google,slow charging rate seems like a common issue to S3 owners,yet none of those results show the time taken to charge.
I would like to listen to your experience,as not everyone would charge their device as same as my battery value,so please leave your reply from any value (you think) to fully charge and how long it takes.
Thank you very much,each of your reply is appreciated.
Are we talking USB charging or AC charging here?
Sv: Average Charging Hours
Yesterday it took 2 hours to charge 55% with the ac adaptor.

Max 3 hours to fully charge (0 to 100%) via AC charger.

Remember charge times are going to be affected by battery condition/apps running /syncing etc so a rough answer is really all you can hope for
zero to 100% average time 3Hours .

Average time around 3 hours but not with the Samsung charger, With the Samsung charger I get around 4 to 5 hours and as far as I know I am not the only one. I measure the output from the Samsung charger and I get 4.7 volts. In a way that could explain the long charging hours for the Sami charger.
2 to 2 ½ hours from 5%~15% to 100%, no mobile data, no wifi, no apps running.
~3hours with normal setup. I normally get 1.5~2% standby drain, if that's any help in comparing battery charge rate..

2.5 - 3 hours, from 2% - 100% using the stock charger and USB cable. There is an app in the general forum which tells you at what mAh the phone is charging. Ensure that you're charging at 1000mAh and the charging will be faster.
Edit: Here is the app - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36124435
Make sure to read the entire thread to get an idea of the charging current. It's not too long.

Guys my SGS2 is taking around 4+ hrs to charge from around 5% left. Is this normal.?
Yep takes 4 hours here too

What's the rated output on the wall charger?
I think this is by design as the phone already gets extremely hot when pushing the CPU (gaming etc).
I believe this can eventually be changed with custom rom/kernel.

5v @ 0.7A, by the looks of it this is normal.
thanks for responce peps. Never had a phone that took so long to charge.! Normally about an hour which is why i thought i may have had a problem with the handset.!
S2 stock Optus KE2 with it remained turned on with wifi, email checking etc using Energizer XP8000 battery as power source for charge went from 24% reminaing to 100% charged in ~2hrs. S2 internally seems to limit it to <700mah charge rate.
Find a Iphone4 charger or something similar it will give you 5v @ 1.0A, charges quite a bit faster, I use that at work then the slow .7 at home.
my XP8000 charges at 1000mah but S2 will limit it to 700mah
I think you could charge the battery alone in a dock. There it should load with the full 5V and 1ah..

Ah forgot about that. But it's kind of pain removing that battery cover.

Anywhere you can back this up? I seem to have faster results using a 1.0 vs .7, showing that it is getting more power.
It's been mentioned a few times across various forums. But i'm just going by my experience.
It also takes me around 4 hours to fully charge from below 5% battery. However, if I turn the phone off whilst it charges, goes slightly quicker. Obviously.
Hi,
I think the recharging time is quiet normal for such a phone (and battery).
I had to charge the battery of a friend's phone these days with my notebook.
And it took some hours from 30%. (HTC DHD)
About the same for my SGSII.
I think thats normal.
what would we do without electricity?
Dead phone that is fully discharged battery phone off stock charger to 100%
sub 3 hours .

Changed handset yesterday. today charged new phone from 5% and it took 3hrs 4mins. So it looks like i may have had either a dodgy charger or batt.
I am charging with supplied charger(5V / 0.7A) ...
During the charging I turn off my phone but the charging time is still 3-4h -.-
I leave on charger before going to bed, is this advisable? Would it affect the battery life if it's being charged for longer than required?

I don't think so, but if you want to be sure, you may just turn it off while it is charging.
What's the average time your G-Tab 10.1 takes to fully charge?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
from 1% to 100% it is about 5hours
to 100% - 5 hrs...
I notice that my tab charges faster or slower depending on what the tablet is doing. If i am using it, it takes about 1 hr for every 10%, if its on but screen locked it is about 1 hr for every 20%, and if it is off (but plugged into outlet) i notice it is about 25%-30% for every hour. But it depends on your adapter, power fluctuations and etc (lower voltage gives less amps if the power is not consistent)
Around 5 hours on standby mode.. Never realised during off screen charged.. I heard XOOM one charge faster than Tab..

How long does it take before your batteries are fully charged?
First, need to start by stating it seems the charger that came with my S3 may need replacing, as the phone doesnt charge when I connect it. I connected my Note's charger though and it started charging.
I let my battery drain to 1% and started charging, its been 2 and a half hours and its at 47%.
Does that sound normal? My Note gets fully charged in about 3 and a half hours.

Have you tried the original charger & cable again after you got a little juice in the battery from Note's charger? Also to determine if its charging slowly, were you using the phone for various things while it was charging??? How long has your screen been on while charging, because that is the biggest battery sucker on a Samsung device.
Just tried using the original charger and no luck. Weird thing is the S3 seems to think it.is just connected via USB as the USB connection prompt appears whenever I try to use that charger, but still doesnt charge.
Im using the Note's charger now and it is charging again.
The entire time the phone was sleeping, screen was not on.

Sounds like either a defective charger, or a defective battery/phone. If you have a warranty, I advise exchanging your device through that method.
Thanks went to Samsung and turns out the cable is defective.
How long does it take for your S3s to fully charge coming from little to no charge?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I never leave mine till 1%. Usually at around 20% and it takes 4-5 hours. Is it better to leave till 1%?
Also how fast are you depleting a? Had a galaxy s and a iphone 4 before and the s3 seems too deplete a little faster.
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.
I'm plugged into the wall using the provided OEM charger.

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.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
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

Mine seems like it takes about 2 hours maybe even less from 15%

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.
the battery is charging very slowly
hi all is there any way to charge the battery faster, as it takes about 5 hours to charge from 0% to 100%

I use a battery charger with a spare battery. You can buy them on eBay for 8 or 9 U$D. This way you never have to wait until the phone is charged as you always have a charged battery. Moreover, I friend of mine had an issue with the miniUSB port long time ago as there seems to be a defect on the phone if you charge it using the charger that comes with the phone. It overheats the connector and finally the phone becomes unusable. At least that is what Samsung told my friend. Since then I have been using a spare battery with a wall charger.
Hope that helps!
