Can somebody explain me why I get fully charged phone in my house within cca. 3 hours and in another house in 7 charging hours I have battery from 30% to 75%? What is cause of this difference and how to fix it?
Thanks.
At home you're on Wi-Fi....at friends you're on data? Maybe?
Maybe you have different ROMs between those phones?

they called it economy 7 I think
I been having weird recharge issue since i moved from VIKING V5 to Omega and now to PA3+
Phone recharges at optimal power , ie 900mA/h over USB 3.0 and 1000mA/h over wall charger.
But It recharges the battery at slower rate ie about 50% over 3 hours.
small detail here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44067907&postcount=3631
Please can someone help me fix this issue.
Let's analyze a little bit.
What part the recharging involved?
1. Power source, USB port or wall charger
2. Cable
3. The battery
I suggest you try use other cable or power source. Also use current app to see what's incoming current.
If it show normal current around 900 ~ 1000 mA and yet you still recharge slowly. Perhaps you may wanna try other battery...
Normally for me with 800 mA current, it take me somewhat around 3 or 4 hours to charge to 100%

1.) USB 3.0
2.) Samsung cable , which came with the phone
3.) Same samsung.
I used an app , it showed incoming is 900ma/h .
Many suggest to change the cable. Which one to use ? Any suggestion ?
OK found that my phone is only taking in 500ma/h even though incoming current is 900(usb 3.0) or 999(wall charger).
What to do and how to solve ?

Are you using that current detection application we have in general section?
Galaxy charge current, if I remember the name correctly.
If, you are able to determine the incoming current to your phone, and I assume that is real value, then you can do some basic mathematical calculation.
In your case if it is 900 mA , our battery is 2100 mAh, then the full charge time should be around 3 hours (phone in idle, because heavy task might drastically effect on the charge time)
If your power source and cable are all fine, and charge time is much more then 3 hours, then the problem probably in the end of battery. You may wanna try other battery.

Ok used HTC USB wire , now the app reads
Max : 900
Avg : 900
Now : 899
Which i think is the correct rating.
I think its a faulty cable .
Also Noted :
59 > 66% in 10 minutes ie 7% for 10 minutes , which almost equals 42% for 1 hour , which i good right ?
Thanks for your reply. Should i get a samsung USB or someother USB just to be sure ?

Yes, very normal charging rate, you don't have to specially to get other cable or charger, 1 hour for 40% is OK

Thanks. I heard some cheap cables will not be able to push current more than 500ma/h , thats why i asked.
you said its "OK" , is it still less than average of rest of s3 owners ?

You seem to be over worried.
Let's do a math here
Assuming 900 mA output, battery capacity is 2100 mAh
2100 mAh / 900 mA = 2.34 h.
Of course is this totally theoretical. Consider the device power consumption, cable resistance and battery natural property (charging rate become slower when closes to the fully charged, means last few percent is taking longer than usual due to battery natural property and some additional battery protection )
Consider these various factors which slows down the charging rate , 2.34 hours in theory, so it is OK to use somewhat around 3 hours to get battery fully charged.
And I'd say it is average, between 2.5 hours to 3 hours.

Quick question do you take it off charge when light turns green and display reads 100%, my light goes green at about 97% charged, just curious if im doing it correctly

The light normally turns green when it is around 90 - 95% charged. It is just to let you know that it is almost charged.

I am not sure.
I have brightness set to about 50 - 60%. Mixture of wifi and 3g, mostly wifi.
Gmail and auto sync on. Stamina mode ON.
I have been hitting 5 hours every time and sometimes more. I will say though, it took my battery a good 5 - 10 charges before the capacity improved a lot. To begin with, stamina mode would say around 1 day and 12 hours battery remaining. Now it says sometimes 11 days remaining. This shows me that you need to give the device a good few charges before the battery will work at its fullest capacity.

How do you do the full cycles?, do you allow the phone to turn off by itself (1% battery left) and then fully charge to 100%?

Yeah, I just let it drain until it switches off and then charge it again.
I would do this for the first week then after that, just make sure i keep the battery topped up when im near a charger.
The charging is super fast though which is 1 thing i love. After owning an HTC One which was painfully slow to charge, the Z Ultra is a revelation haha

Yeah maybe give it a little time.
I have absolutely no complaints with the battery life. A minimum of 5 hours screen on time is a lot and more than enough to make it through a full day.
I can see a lot of people who currently own a nexus 4, Galaxy S3 etc, if they decide to switch to this will be blown away by the battery life.
After 1 day of Full Usage
After 13 hours since the phone was removed from the charger I still have 1% of battery left. I was able to get 9 hours of Screen Time, pretty impressive.

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

It can be beacuse of my reasons bro.
The temperature of your device.
How much old is your battery.
Which cable you use with your charger. ?
Please post ampere screenshots then we will be able to help you more.

It also depends on manufacturerer bro. Every company has its ways of battery optimisations. You see dash charging works on one plus 3 but the same charger doesn't works on other devices not even on one plus 2.
So, it also depends on companies how they implement their charging methods.
Please have a look at this.
