hey guys... how long does it take for your battery to charge? like i had it plugged in overnight (8hours) and its only charged up 1 or 2 or 3 bars.does the phone have to be completly off for something?>
no it doesn't. check to see if the cable is connected good and no app is running in the background. 8h is good enough for a full charge!
if your charging by a computers usb connection it could take days ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz
however, charging by mains is normally very fast 2-3 hours max
yea, i wss using my ps3's mini usb cable into the SE wall thing, put in the offical mini usb that came with the phone and it charged up to full in less than an hour

I am on the road a lot and don't want to be carrying the HTC charger with me. For my Treo, I had a foldable USB AC adapter (.8A and 5V) to which I plugged in a Sync and Charge cable and it did just fine.
After reading all the comments about there being two ways to charge a Tilt - fast and slow, I decided to test out a retractable USB data cable with my USB AC brick. I set the option in Power to "Not charge the battery when connected to the PC." and plugged it in. Nothing. I then unticked the box and sure enough, it started to charge. As I was at 70% of the charge, I expected this to drag on, but it didn't. It took about 1 hour and was fully charged.
I'm still a bit worried about charging this way - the description of the Lil Sync cable for the Tilt says that while it might work, under certain circumstances it won't if your battery is below 30% of a charge. Has anyone seen this happen? The last thing I want is to go away for a few days and be stuck with a dead batttery.
Do I need to pick up a special cable from ppctechs or boxwave just to charge? Should I just carry the supplied charger?
I always charge my kaiser just using the sync cable and it works fine even from a flat battery. there seems to be absolutely no need to carry an AC adapter around when you can just connect it to a computer to charge.
Thanks Spooki. Just curious - how long does a charge usually take when you charge against a computer's USB?
it seems to take roughly twice as long as a wall charger but i work with PC's all day so doesn't really bother me, much easier than carrying a charger around.
the first battery charge on the HD is supposed to be a 8 or 10 or 12 hour charge? or on its not necesary
also the time used to charge it to the pc via usb cable is same as if ud plug it in the electric socket?
how long dose it take for u to charge ur phone.....
mine had 4 lines out of 10 and after 3 hours of it beeing conected to my pc and not in use its still got 4 lines....
opinions seem to vary on how long for 1st charge - personally I left mine on (mains) overnight, but that's just because I've had mobiles since year dot, and you used to have to!
But charging via PC doesn't seem to work as well as from the mains charger - depends a lot on the PC and how much juice it kicks out, some are a lot better than others.
Modern phones/batteries do not need "overnight" charging. My Touch HD even came with a little note saying you don't need to charge for 16hrs/overnight. Just charge until it's full...
Better to charge with wall socket because not all USB ports provide enough current. Some can't charge through the USB port while some can.
I can charge through my notebook but it takes a lot longer than the wall socket.
thanks bouth of u for the fast anwsers....
When I set WiFi settings to max performance, my HTC HD will not charge at all, actually it will loose charge during night, display is off, just WiFi, GSM and GPS is active, connected to provided wall charger. Back side of phone is really hot, I measured over 54°C
Problems charging.
guys(and lady's) Just got my HD. been running it for some time to drain the battery, while on my laptop the battery starts charging. I wanted to drain the battery to give it a good charge afterwords so I turnd off the option of charging while unit is active( in batt. menu) but When I got to 5% batt.cap. an tried to charge the unit (batt. option enabled again) it doesn't charge. now my batt. is empty and can't get in the phone. while on power my battery charging led gives a couple of seconds of charge indication then it turns off.
Any suggestions or is my battery dead. (charging unit is oke, and when on power the HD does give sufficient power to the battery (measured with mulitmeter) thx guys edit - Als when on power green and amber lights blink.
Could that be that your battery is too hot ? There is some safety protection that prevent the batyery to charge when it is over a temperature level.
battery not charging properly
My touch hd not charge the battery more then 50% i change the battery but same as before.
any suggestion
Regards

Touch HD Battery Charging Problem
The rom i am using is Energy 3 Rom
and try to use both sources wall socket and pc usb both are same.
if i charge the battery on usb cradle and put the phone it shoes 100% but after some use of the phone the charging start again and never show's full even left it over night.
Best regards
Not sure what's going on there,but try draining the battery to almost empty each time and then turn your phone off before charging it. Do this a few times and see if it helps. Mine took about a month beforeit came good.
Dear samlives
Thanks for helping
I will try it
Best Regards
HTC Touch Battery Charging Problem

All Done now charging 80 to 90% quite better then before.
Thanks a lot
Hi. Got my hands on slightly used JASJAR and I was just wondering how long does it usually need to fully charge using USB and wall charger.
I left it overnight on the wall charger (which I doubt is an genuine one) and for 6-7 hours it charged to about 60-70%. The second time I connected it on my desktop USB 2.0 port but the result was same.
The battery seems to last OK, there are no sudden dropdowns etc. The device is freshly formated, flashed with TML WWE 6.1 (D.08.20) no applications installed etc.
Here is the pic of the wall / travel charger
Welcome to forums
Charging time may vary from original charger to another one.
Normally I left my Uni to charge before I go to sleep and when wake up is fully charged, and last me 28hr aprox.
USB charging I read somewhere it´s not recommended as shortens battery life (not sure if this is actually true but I have USB charging disabled)
Enjoy your great Uni!!
Thanks for replying.
What do you mean disable USB charging. Is there some other way to charge this thing? All I can see is the mini usb port on the back
I reflashed Tomal 8.9 and I bought the USB to mini USB with two USB A plugs that go in the PC. It is supposed to provide 1000 mAH and it kind of charges faster now.
Oh btw, I checked the battery and its not OEM battery, maybe replacement I don't know, but it works ok.
1590 mAH 3.7v
I was going to say in your original picture (charger) is only 500mA. The original Uni charger is 1A (1000mA). To 'fast-charge', you need the 1A charger, which I see you now have, so that's alrighty!
Yup it sorted out. Great device btw.
Hi,
When i try to charge my N4 (stock rom 4.2.2 & franco kernel r90), it takes a verrrrrryyyy looooong time to be full. I plugged my phone on usb with fast charge, and i'm to 35% (14% >> 35%) in... two hours. Fast charge ? I loled.
Btw, when i plug it to my wall... Full charge in ~3h30min. (Wifi, sync, and data off, screen off, no app in background)
I think this is a very slow charge... I'm using the default adapter...
Any issue with your charge ? Thanks
Your charger is probably detecting it as Usb plug instead of Ac charge just try unplugging it and plugging it back in at least that is what I do.

I did that (and the phone doesn't say anything about usb charging when plugged on wall), and the charge took... 8 hours. From 14% to 100%... How could it be normal ?

Do you have another USB ac adapter or USB cable that you can use ?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Yes, both. But the second ac adapter (with another usb cable) is the one i used during the night.
Output : 5.0V 700 mA

DITTO. Mine takes 3hr 30 mins from 1-10% to 100%. I tried it with another Nokia charger (original) and it took similar time. The output for both chargers is exactly same. Don't know if it's normal or not. People here have claimed they charge their N4's in 2hr 30 mins :-ooo...
BDW, I am totally stock.
I don't actually suffer from battery life problems like some other owners. My problem is that it takes for ever for my phone to charge. My phone has been charging over USB attached to my computer for 8 hours and is only at 83%. When it's attached to the mains it's pretty much the same story. I'm not running any apps. 3G, WiFi and Bluetooth are turned on though.
How can I resolve this problem?

well, if plugged into a computer/usb, itll take much longer to charge. are you using the original usb chord? when plugged into a wall charger, how long does it take?
Current draw is about 700mah on average. Battery size is 2100mah. So it should take 3 hours to charge with the wall charger.
USB is another story. If you charge and surf at the same time it will be consuming battery rather than charging.
The problem seems to occur when I don't use the original USB wall charger. Are not all USB chargers the same? When I use the original charger, I don't seem to have this problem.
If WiFi was left on while charging on a computer USB port, would this effect the charging speed?
