How long does it taken for a full charge. I'm thinking it could be pretty fast like maybe an hour or less.... Does anyone know?
I remember reading somewhere that its a couple of hours for a full charge. I can't remember where I read it tho so might be wrong.
Hard to say some mentioned it was at least a half charge in about 20 minutes. Guess it depends if the watch is set to always on with brightness at full.
I've read somewehere (sorry, don't recall where anymore) the official specs said it should fully charge in 2 hours.
Didn't test this though since I charge it at night and only charged it once (obviously, just received my new toy yesterday )
Full charge from 0% to 100% takes less 2 hours or less. I don't know the exact rate, never checked ^^ I am going to do a check right now though, I'll post it as soon as I have the results.
Edit:
I just let it charge 20% battery and calculated it. My watch would take exactly 120 minutes = 2 hours for a full charge as it takes 24 Minutes to charge 20%. That would mean it charges 0.83% per minute So it exactly matches the time LG said it would take for it to charge.

Hey guys, both my and my gf bougth and Arc, when i bought mine the dealer recommended me to charge the phone for 16 hours before i started using it. I think i was in a hurry the next day and the phone only got 9-10 hours.
My battery time is not great but not bad either, first 15% goes fast, then it kinda slows down.
My question is is it a one time chance you have to charge the battery first time you get it, and if you dont do it proberly well too bad? Just curious how long you guys charged it the first time and if you think it matters much??

16 hours seems a lot, I've only ever done a few hours (3/4) which has usually given a full charge, but I do cycle my battery i.e will let it drain fully (below 10%) before recharging.
That whole "16 hours" thing is BS.... that sort of treatment is not required for modern batteries.. and in any case the phone will stop charging when it hits 100%.. the only thing that seems to help is to run the phone down to about 20% a few times (through normal use..) but I've also read that a complete discharge every now and again helps..
it helps to cycle
16 hours is as said before bullpoop.... 100% charged and it will stop
the battery tech is li-po. lipo bats are ment to be 100% discharged and then 100% recharged....(trickle charged if possible) not sure how a phone charges there bats though
lipo unlike other types actully do have a proper memery and if you keep half charging or dont let it run right down the bat will over time last less and less......
even then they dont last forever i replace mine every year with a new set (i say set as i own 2 bats and carry the spare one with me when im out hard usage i can get half a day out of my phone so 2 bats works for me. i no longer use my phone for charging i have a battery dock that now charges my phone
hope this helped

Thanks for clearing it up, i suspected it was like this, but glad u can confirm it.
thanks for clearing up too
So I had my GS2 fully charged last night. At about 415am I played Game Dev Story for about 30mins and went to bed. I wake up this morning at around 1030 and find my phone completely dead. Obviously this freaks me out since I just got my phone and it should not be going from 100% -> 0% in 5 hours of being idle. Now maybe I didn't turn Game Dev off properly and it was running in the background? I don't know. I got this phone last Monday and this is the fastest it has died. (Even setting this one aside, I'm extremely disappointed in the battery life). Also, I plug it in to charge after I found it dead this morning and went back to sleep. Wake up 2 hours later at 12pm and see its only charged to about 40% and the phone is really hot.
Are these normal for the GS2? It didnt get hot during previous charges (atleast I didn't notice it getting hot). Also what is the average battery life for the S2 and how long does it usually take to charge from 0-100? For some reason I feel like there is something wrong with mine and I should be exchanging it but unfortunately I did root it so undoing the whole process will take some time since I'm still waiting for the jigg.
Normal charge time from zero to full 3-4 Hours via stock charger .
Excessive battery drain multiple posts on the problem .

I don't think anything is wrong with the battery. You can see the battery usage graph, and post if needed. And the device takes around 3 hrs 15 mins from 0 to 100% charge with AC charger.
Regards.
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%.
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.
That can't be right, surely? I know a lot of people swear by the initial eight hour or overnight charge cycle but I've never done it with any of my devices, and I've had quite a few. Anyway, picked up a Z2 this morning, used if for about an hour just to set up my Google account as install a few vital apps. Started charging it at 14% (from roughly 50% out of the box) and five hours later it was at 60% (with a further 2 hours to go until 100% according to the battery monitor).
The shop had closed I bought it from but I will bring it straight back in the morning. So, just in case I make a clown out of myself, the seven hour chrage has to mean something isn't right? My iPad Air didn't take that long, nor does my 17" Vaio.
The first few charging cycles will take longer than usual. It should sort itself out within a week. If it hasn't then I'd think about returning it.
Mine was the same when new.
Now I'm on 2h15 for a full charge.
If you look a bit more at the percentage, you'll notice that is is quite quick until about 85% and it slows down after, the last percent taking the longest.
Picked up a brand new replacement today. Started charging the battery after it had dropped to 4%
130 minutes untill 100% says the battery monitor app I've installed :highfive:
