Anyone know if there is any advantage of the charger that comes with the phone compared to a generic micro USB charger?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA App
They all seem to charge the phone slowly (even the included one). The stock charger is a 1 amp charger, as long as you're using a 1+ amp charger, you'll be fine. Some aftermarket chargers may be lower, they will also work but charge even more slowly. Worth mentioning is that a higher amperage charger will work, but will only charge at the same speed as the included charger.
Same..........
Just bought a new charger cause I left my other in another state, it's the dual usb 3.1 amp charger and it took me from 0 - 90% in 45 minutes. Picked it up at tmo

Which charger is this exactly?
Is this the 'Universal Micro USB 2-in-1 Charger' listed on TMobile's website?
I also got a cheap micro USB charger off of amazon.com and its a trickle charge and it also makes the screen unusable as in it doesn't take touch input at all it came with a data cable for the computer as well and it actually drained my battery instead of charged it.
The beast? I got mine but haven't powered it up yet for charging purposes. There is no light indicator that tells you when its done.
Got mine yesterday and I charged via AC and it took about 3 hours to complete. After letting it drain over night after 8 hours of heavy usage, I'm charging via USB and it's taking forever. With it on and after 2 hours, it was only at 15%. Now turned it off and it's been 3 hours and it looks like 75%. BTW, press the power button once and the screen will show the batter gauge.
you should charge it while turned on and for 6 hours or more for 4-5 cycles. Let it go down to 5% for those 4-5 cycles. Do not let it turn off from lack of power.
That is from instructions I received from a third party battery which had these detailed instruction to maximize capacity. I am sure you will get 1000 different ways but that is what I use and have always had good battery life.

While powered off, you can hit the volume button to get a visual on the batter status.

This thing pretty much requires the cable that came with it to charge at full speed. Older MicroUSB cables charge at a much slower rate and are recognized as USB devices when plugged in. It must be because of the higher capacity battery. When you have the right cable plugged in, though, it charges pretty fast.
I'm noticing that even using the wall charger and the USB cable it came with, it's taking about an hour for the Note to charge only 15%. Anyone else noticing this? Is it normal that the first batch of charges takes this long (at that rate it would take 6+ hours to charge from 0-100%)?
My note charges very fast when I use the ac adapter and super slow when I use the us from my computer. About 1.5 hours on the ac and more than 3 hours on my pc's us
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
Its always a good idea to charge using the AC wall adapter. The USB port on a computer usually supplies ~.5A @ 5v to charge the phone, the included Samsung wall charger supplies double that with 1.0A @ 5v. That is the reason you see such a big difference in your charging times.
(Some computers now supply more than .5A through USB, but .5A is most common)
USB3.0 can supply 5.0v @ 950mA to charge, but the kernel isn't set up to take advantage of this, I'll see if I can change that (it would only affect charging while booted)
Just shy of the AC adapter for those of us with USB3 ports

I was excited reading this because my new laptop has a 3.0 port. However, I then remembered that my power brick for my laptop is kick ass and has a USB port that charges devices at 1A anyways. Haha.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
So I got it down to 5% and then I plugged it in at around 8pm and at 11pm it was at 100%. Not bad, not great but seems about right. Now my question is I see a notification that battery is fully charged and to unplug charger but Im going to bed soon and am going to leave it plugged over night. Is this risking the battery in any way?

That would be the only use for my USB3.0 ports so far. Have yet to even need to utilize it.
The charger that comes with the Note can charge the battery in 3hours via ac. I wouldn't suggest to charge via usb, just because it's way too slow. Im using my playbook charger to charge my Note, Galaxy Nexus , and my bb 9900. This charger is 1.8a, it nearly charges 2x faster than the regular 1a that comes with most phones. Same thing for my car charger 2a, i even use my ipad charger to charge my iphone 4s and it's way faster!! Use more powerful chargers... Not more than 2a or your device might melt down!!

That's weird. I was under the impression that GS Note only accepts 1.0A of power. Well at least that's what it saids at the back of the phone. I've got an iPad charger that draws out 2.1A, maybe I should give that a try.
Just wondering, I bought two JetStreams last week and both of them take a while to charge; I would say over 8 hours. My previous tablet would get fully charged in less than 4 hours.
I love this tablet and besides the usb port and audio jack placement that's the only other thing that's bothering me at the moment.

Using the 9V charger that has been provided by HTC, I can charge my tablet in around 3-4 hours - not sure though - will clock it next time I charge.
However if you use a 5V charger which is used by other phones, it will surely take longer.

That's what I suspected, I bought these tablets on ebay and they both came with the smaller 5V chargers. Just wanted to double check, thanks for the reply.
Yea I got a small charger as well from that ebay sale. Using my iPad charger(switched the usb cable). What's weird is after a few minutes on 100% the second I unplugged it could go down to 9x%. I had to leave it for a bit longer for the charge to stick to 100% unplugged.
Well I have tried around 4 or 5 different chargers and with all of them it's taking over 8 hours to fully charge my battery. I don't know what's the deal with this tablet, I bought the OEM genuine charger from eBay and even though it's bigger than the one that came with the device - which is a phone charger; the output voltage is the same 5V.
I tried switching the cable to my girlfriend's iPad charger and it's still taking a while; it's starting to annoy me. Battery life hasn't been an issue though, it lasts over 24 hrs under moderate use - netflix, web browsing, emails, eBook reading...etc. So I don't think it's a bad battery because it holds a charge just fine, it just takes too damn long.
Any ideas, comments or suggestions?
Its not the voltage of the adapter but the output amperage that matters.
The small adapter that came with my ebay JetStream only supplies 200 milliamps (mA) and can take 2 nights to charge fully (i.e., overnight will only charge it to 60%-70%).
As a point of reference, the adapter for my Bluetooth headset is 180 mA.
My BlackBerry charger, which charges my JetStream in a several hours, has an output of 700 mA. Actually, I have never timed it, but it does not take over night to fully charge it.
The AT&T site has a HTC wall charger for the JetStream - does anyone know what the output amperage of the HTC wall charger?
I Have the ATT power cord.
Output 9V, 1.67A
Full charge for me is approx 3 hours, maybe a little more but i've only let my tablet go almost to 0 once.
Hope this helps, Charles
My girlfriend's ipad charger outputs 5v, 2.1A and it still takes a while to charge with that one. All my other chargers are also 5v so i guess im gonna have to get a 9v one to see if i notice any improvement in charging time.

Last post seems to apply to my problem:
It will take about 4 x longer than the OEM for the same amount of charge.
If you operate the Flyer while connected, it might not charge at all, but will discharge at a slower rate.

Any feedback with using alternative chargers?
It has taken one hour to give me 10% more battery life.

Edit. I'm going to order the 9v 1.67a genuine charger for 15.00. That will solve this problem, as I have the replacement HTC charger that is 5v 1a.
i got the 9v 1.67A travel charger from ebay and it charges my tablet in less than 3 hours. the 5v htc charger that came with my tab takes over 10 hours to charge it.

Yes,your 100% correct. Don't know why the eBay company that shipped these all in the HTC box, didn't put the original charger. I think I'll write to them, although it may not help any.

This is a question for those of you who got the EP850 fast charger rather than the normal EP800 charger in your Sony Xperia S box. How long does it take to charge from 0-100%?
Using the EP800 it takes me 2 and a half hours from flat to full.
Thanks.
It depends; if you don't use the phone while charging, it sometimes can be done in about 1.5 hours
Maybe even faster, but I'm not sure about that
I go one with my SxS here in Holland

Yeah its damn fast, I go from 10 percent to full in about an hour.
An hour or two, no more.
I go 1hour 30min from 5% to 95%(I don't charge it more "battery calibration") with ep800

If anyone is thinking of forking out about £30 on the 850 charger don't bother....try this instead:
Charger:

Along with this cable:

So for about £5.50 you have a faster charger compared to the 850 for a quarter of the price! full charge in about 70 mins!

Have you test it? Because in charger driver in xperia s source code, it seems, sony limit the amount ampere upto 1.5A. I don't know if that setting affect how fast the charging @ 2A.
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Yea i remember testing it about 2 months ago when i got charger and cable it was peaking at around 1550mA it did not hit the 2A mark but still it was a cheap setup to achive this compared to buying the sony 850, so i thought id share with ye all
Thanks Damoege, I may very well get that charger/cable that you linked to. How would I connect that cable to the phone? There doesn't seem to be the right connector.

The cable from DX is a male / female usb charge cable which means the male usb goes into the phone charger and leaves the female side of the usb cable to take your original sony charge/data cable. Now the DX cable has bridged connectors to alow charge only which carries through on the sony cable and into your phone therefore fast charge
Last nite i orded one of these little adapters to use instead of sony cable to see if i can get more juice into the phone
Micro usb adaptor
I know people say that 0.5m length of Sony cable will not affect charging as in resistance wise but i have a feeling it does and i wont be happy until i try out the adaptor, I'll let ye know how it goes when it arrives from China in 3 weeks time
Cool, what was the result?
I use the sony camera charger I have whose output is 1.5 a..
Takes it from 15 to full in 40 mins.. Get a bit hot though while charging..!!
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
Just to let ye all know the micro usb adaptor works too....i was right about the resistance...abot 5 mins faster charging
I got my phone today, and one of the first things that I did was test all of the Chargers.
My first thought is that the one plus cable that I bought is very high quality. Every charger that I tested, it charge faster than the cheapo ones that I bought on Amazon.
However, what I've been consistently surprised with is that using the same cable this phone charges faster on a Qualcomm quick charge 2 charger than it does on a standard USB charger. I've tested this with all sorts of Chargers around my house and I'm consistently seeing around 1500 when connected to a quick charger, and only a thousand when connected to a standard charger.
The USB C charger that came with the phone is significantly faster. However I wanted to share this so that for those others who bought all sorts of Qualcomm quick charge 2.0 Chargers, don't throw them out. They're still better than a regular charger.
Yeah on a good USB 3.1 cable (nice and thick) with my standard quickcharge charging block (7 ports, 60W total IIRC) I get 'charging rapidly' and it charges better than 1% a minute - about the same rate my N5 did on a much smaller battery. I've still not taken the google charger out of its box yet.. Need to get around to testing it even if I can't see myself using it.

I am curious as to what "standard" chargers you are using. I have a wall charger rated at 5v 2.1a (non-QC) per port and a car charger rated at 5v 2.4a (non-QC) per port, and both of those charge at 1500ma. Is it possible that your "standard" chargers are only rated for 5v 1a output?

Bought that one though still waiting on my phone. Like that it has micro USB too for other devices. Charges my HAM2 very fast.
Your results have nothing to do with them being QuickCharge bricks, I have a inline amp meter and I can get 1.5 on any brick with an amp rating high enough, not just my QC bricks that I was using with my Moto X. At least people will know if they have a QC brick they'll get at least that though.
I didn't know this thread existed. I'm getting what I think is pretty poor performance from the stock 6p charger. Please see this post:
