i just got this phone a few days ago. i love it. nothing wrong with it.
super fast and everything. im on 2.3.6. no issues. my battery lasts 12 hours easy. and actually up to 26 hours so far.
i dont even feel the need for a custom rom. at least not for now.
but one thing that makes me mad is how slow the phone charges, anyone know why this is ? it's kinda frustrating lol
any way to change this ?
also....i kinda hate that there is no camera button on the actual phone. oh well.
*Edited*
well i dont like to charge unless my battery is on red. so that conflicts, its not always red when i go to sleep. but thanks i'll check it out.
and i dont want to unlock to camera. it's easier to take photos with a button is what im saying

If I remember correctly waiting till the battery is completely depleted is not a good thing for our batteries.
i never said completely depleted though.
and yea ive read so many reviews to not do that, and reviews that say you should... and reviews to charge it this much and that much and blah blah. may be a new phone, but none of this is new to me.
Charge current is hardware limited from what I've read. Or atleast for the time being. If your using the phone while charging it'll be significantly slower. Also using wallplug makes a difference. If you've got stuff running while charging try throttling down the CPU while charging.
Other than that I think our phone is limited to 650mah to charge. So 1650/650 is about 2.5 hours with perfect efficiency. Now take into account the power being drawn and how the chargers for li batteries work, that's about 3-4 hrs to be expected.
And don't run li batteries all the way down on a regular basis, its not good. I'm not positive on li ion batteries, but with lipo you generally want to use about %80 of rated capacity to prolong life and power of the cell.
400 mA on USB, 650 on a wall charger, CPU/screen usage counts against these limits - no way to change this
Forgot where I read it. Could be wrong too.
Slow charging for this phone was samsungs way of keeping our phones battery in shape. Hopefully prolonging the life of it. I noticed my 3GS lose about 20% of its full capacity in a couple years. Only time will tell?
Siyah has an option to upping the charging mA I believe.

all useful responses and all make sense. thank you guys.
i dont use it when it charges and yea it does take about 4 hours to charge.
coming from a crappy xperia x10 which took about 2 hours to charge from 0 to 100
but this phone is 10 times better even without a custom rom so i can deal.
thank you guys for ur knowledge.

He removed it because it turned out not to work. (If it's still there I'm surprised - it should be completely gone.)
It turns out the I9100 has the same limitation as the I777 - charging is handled not by the MAX8997, but by a MAX8922.

If you are on Entropy's DD kernel you should divide that number by 2.85
Battery charge current monitoring (CurrentWidget) support - only reports charge current and not discharge, and reports a value 2.85 times the actual current. Use CurrentWidget's "operation on value" to divide by 2.85.

Sorry....but I can't believe you posted this..... 3 hours IS pretty damn fast.....my old galaxy W used to take 5 to 6 hours.
A lot of things in this world may well be instant.........phone charging ain't EVER gonna be one of them.........

Then buy an ICrap or old BlackBerry and get a swirl... live free with equally fast discharge...
Fast charge is disabled by default (on obvious reasons, google it), but hey... anyone is free to make it work if he can find a proper solution.
Said that, 3 hrs should be more like 2 hours or 2 hours and a a half... but seen OP never stated specs, it's all right.

In fact, the most other phones charge with ~1A+ and they don't have any big draing issues in common. It doesn't matter which OS they run.

Yes I am , thank you, cause the slow charge issue was elaborated and mentioned so many time around XDA but seems no one cares to search and read.
This phone with and with original charger, and AFTER teh update from Gingerbread to ICS/JB is charging as per specs. On Gingerbread there was a flaw that permitted to charge it upto 900-1000 mA but the phone was rather hot, I recall charging mine in an hour and a half or 15-20 minutes more, from 2-3% to 100% back when phone had GingerBread.

You can use 2.1A output chargers too, it is simply not going to draw all that but you might get the better on the go recharging while you're using the phone with heavy apps. Just think of the dual car chargers - they have both 1A (phone) and 2.1A (tablet) output. SatNav on 1A is zeroing or still draining your phone battery, while 2A can slowly charge it on the go.
You just give it a needed juice and if the discharge is so greater then recharge, there's not much you can do about it.
Call it a flaw, but Samsung did it cause of longevity of their batteries and li-ion technology.
That is why I indicated iCrap and BB - their fast charge is provoking rather fast discharge too cause the battery will not hold it. I have colleagues with BB who're charging in an hour but get their phones depleted in 3 hours of usage... I wouldn't want that from my S2 for sure. :good:

It doesn't matter what the output current of the charger is... the phone will only draw 650mA.
The charger I got with my S2 delivers 1A but my phone only draws 650mA. Actually the hardware doesn't support it.
IMO, 3hrs is pretty fast for a full charge.
Edit: Just noticed that Fevves already mentioned all that...
adressing sfafrorn
Some kernels have the Option to change the charge rate but even at 650mA the phone will get very hot if you are doing something on it while charging
Sandm4n is right :good:
From past week my device is taking too much time to charge. It charges like 10% every hour which is really bad. I am using stock charger and already tried 5Amp charger to get better results. I am failed in it. I was on CM13 when this problem occurred and switched to stock 2.2.1 but no luck.
Should I give my phone to service center? And will this be covered under warranty? Also any other suggestion will be appreciated.

That's about how fast mine charged on the Stock rom with and without Blu_Spark. I'm on TurboRom as of yesterday and according to the lockscreen it's charging at 1800mAh so theoretically it's full in around 1 and a half hours.

Thanks guys.
Check your charging rate with Ampere(Google Play Store).
Also check (with a flashlight) if your charging port has any lint or other stuff in it. Does the cable go all the way in?
Hi All,
so i finally got to unlocking the bootloader and install a custom rom. I've read that some people had issues with QC not working any more and i thought it wouldnt be such a big issue but it is! Ampere says it's charging with 400mA with screen on or off it doesn't matter. Sometimes it shows 1900 for a second but it doesn't stick. It takes forever to charge the phone and it's really sad as i like to be able to customize my phone the way i like it with a custom rom etc.
Iv'e installed Charging Tweaker by Revantis via Magisk, but it's not working at all..
I'm on the standard LG Fast Charger with the standard cable, these issues didn't occur when i was on stock rom.
Anyone know more about this?
Thanks
Like I already said in the RR thread: That bug is in ALL custom roms for the G5 starting around August because something got changed in the kernel upstream.
If you do some reading you'll find tons of mentions in every G5 custom rom thread, it's not just RR but anything that isn't based on stock.
That's crazy, there's no known solution?
It charges about 5 % per half hour so it's totally useless now

It charges full speed in recovery and if booted up it usually gets a full charge overnight. I have a desktop charger I just leave it in when I'm home.
It's in the kernel and there is no proper solution. I heard rumors that it'll be fixed in O, but it looks like LOS (where the change(s) came from) doesn't seem to want to fix it on N
Thanks for the info man! For this reason i will return to my S6, QC has really spoiled me and i use my phone a lot, hope there will be a fix in the future

Hello Guys, i want to know to know if i can Turn off Fast charging - because i want to have a longer Battery Life,
Also i know that IT IS Kernel related and also i could Change the Adapter too..
I Just want to know if there is a way to turn it of Kernel wise.
Why would you want that? It's only charging fast 0-50%, later on it slows down. If you really want to save battery, charge it as often (and short) as possible. If you needed to charge it quickly, you'd regret crippling the charging speed.

Exactly. Silly to turn it off. It's a benefit.
But if you really don't want to use it, just don't use a Quick Charger plug. Get some "normal" charger plug like for a flip phone.
We have tons of people asking why is my phone not quick charging (usually because it's in the last 20%, where it doesn't charge as fast), and instead you want to cripple that feature?
Or people ask why does this phone have QuickCharge 2.0 charger instead of QuickCharge 3.0 charger?
But you want NO QuickCharge. OK.
Just don't use a QuickCharge chargers. You can get "regular" chargers on eBay for like $2 or $3, because no one else wants them. Even QuickCharge are only about $5 if you know where to look, but you don't want those.

I use the App "Battery Charge Limit" the charge Limit is at 80%. I always try to keep my battery between 40 - 80%.

I only need quick charge when I'm in a hurry. When I'm at home I have two phones and would want to load my V30 slowly, so that the battery can Last really long. what does it matter to me if my mobile phone charges up very quickly but loses its capacity over time?
an option to de-activate Q-Charge if you need it or not would be optimal for me
You can always use Qi wireless charging pads for slow charging, then plug in when you need QuickCharge.
Plus there's tons, hundreds, of inexpensive "regular" plug chargers on eBay or other online sites.
To be honest, in my opinion I don't think a dev is going to waste time trying to disable something that is useful and everyone wants. People complain when they aren't QuickCharging, not when they are.
Plus, that would be so hard to track down if someone accidentally disabled QuickCharge.

I agree, I would not disable it. I'm using the Samsung convertible wireless fast charger that Samsung gave away with Note8 pre-orders on my V30. Yes I know it doesn't fast charge the V30 but it charges it in fairly quick amount of time.

When asked questions, I try to give facts as I know them.
Sometimes I give my fact-based opinion.
Sometimes I just give my opinion, based on experience.
Point is, messing with Android for the past 8 years, I've found...
Not everything an OEM does is smart. Like removing headset jacks or making batteries smaller.
Not everything users ask for is smart. I remember a few years ago on Nexus 5 (which had a too small battery) one user kept asking how to REMOVE the battery indicator from the status bar on an AOSP ROM. They didn't want to see battery percentage whatsoever in the status bar, and were quite adamant about it to developers. I guess so they could be TOTALLY SURPRISED when their phone suddenly died? I don't know. It didn't make any sense.
