Sarcasm, haha laugh a little.
But really, do you guys notice that it takes a long time for the battery to charge?
I think when available, I'll buy a bunch of batteries just to have handy.
well the battery is 1500mAh the nexus charged pretty quickly but it was 1400mAh i am not sure how much difference 100mAh will make on charging the battery but that could be a possibility.
Charging with the computer will always be slower, if that's what you're using.
I wonder if its the charger. The provided charger has an output rating of 0.7A. I know some microusb chargers I have seen are rated as high as 1.0A. That could be the difference.

I was thinking the same thing...hhmm could 100mAh make that much of a difference?

I always try to avoid using the computer to charge my phone. It just seems to take awfully long even plugged into the wall.

Interesting...that could be. However, maybe it's 0.7A for a reason? Perhaps the battery needs to have it at that "flow rate." ???
We did get a different charger over the i9000, they had a separate USB cable and microUSB wall charger. We obviously don't have that setup.
Some phones have Li-Pol batteries and they have to charge differently. This could be why it's taking so long to recharge.
check a tmobile store or website for the new portable micro usb charger. charges your phone on the go and recharges itself via a usb charger the vibrant ships with or your computer. i got mine and was a lifesaver the other night when i needed to leave my house with 10% charged.
I hate saying this, but: I literally LOL'd from the title of this thread.
I completely agree. Charging takes fuggin' forever. My guess would be that turning the device off helps speed this up, tremendously. But of course, who wants to do that?
That said, battery life has been impressively long, provided you turn off Samsung's widgets. :/

That would be a huge design oversight if a generic charger caused problems with the battery. I'm sure Samsung thought about the user charging with a generic charger.
Mine charges pretty fast I'm using the usb that came with the moto cliq

How fast is fast, iceshinobi?
I have conditioned my battery twice and going from empty with the phone off and pluged into the wall not via usb-pc, took me over 4hrs each time.
If the charger is 0.7 going to a 1.0 would be a huge improvement. The only worry would be the extra heat and problems that might cause. With NiMH batteries quick charging is preferable to slow charging, is this the same for Li-ion?
came here for insight as well, woke up at like 5am, phone was almost dead, 10% battery or so
turned it off, plugged it in to the wall charger and it is now 8am and it is maybe 60-70% charged
what the hell?
with my g1 turned off i can go from 0 to 100% charge in like an hour or so using a USB port. now i know the battery is smaller but c'mon... this is ridiculous.
Could it be that the phone just has to break in? When I first got G1 it would take about 4 hours to charge I remember, now a year and a half later I can get it to 80-90 percent in 1 and a half.
The computer USB standard is 100 to 500 milliamp, the USB walloulet adapter (charger) Is 700 milliamp, our batteries are 1500 milliamp and that's why.
USB cables have a certain standards witch includes voltage and current standards.
If you want a fast charger look for a hard wired 1000-1200 milliamp charger with a micro USB connector on ebay.

Interesting...having a 1000+ milliamp charger shouldn't cause heat issues would it for pumping in more juice at a higher rate?
Does it have a removable battery? I'd like to have 2 batteries and have one charging while using the tablet, then just swap them when one drains, so I'm never tied down to a power outlet.
Also what capacity is the battery?

only way use the microUSB to charge you nexus7 or add one bypass the original battery.
Hey guys.i just got an s4 like a month ago.eveything was fine but i cant charge the phone.i have to use an external charger. Whenever i connect the charger the led on the phone and the battery icon indicates that it is charging but the battery starts to go down instead.like 1 % every 30 seconds.i have no problems transferring data via usb from computers.i have tried atleast 10 different chargers and usbs and around 4 different batteries.when i charge the batteries via the external charger i get around 4 to 5 hours of usage so i guess the battery is fine.currently i am rooted but the problem existed while i was unrooted.i am on stock firmware.
The charging port on the phone is probably damaged or has dirt stuck on the connectors.
Cheap cables and chargers don't always provide the necessary power to the phone.
Use an app to measure how much mAh you actually get while charging.

Unfortunately I'm not an engineer so I can't tell you.
You should get 1900mAh when charging.
You get 400mAh only when charging from a PC USB port. If this happens from an outlet, then there definitely is something wrong somewhere.
It drains because 400-800mAh is not enough. It uses more power than it gets.

You probably got a dirty usb port or you have some water damage in it. Like GDreader said, that is probably the culput.
so I bought an Anker Powercore 10000 which is meant to be Quick Charge 3.0 Compliant, however when using both the USB Cable provided by the Battery as well as the Phone I am unable to get the speed i'm expecting.
Is there a setting somewhere i have to turn on??
Using the Chinese 4GB / 128GB model.
No there is no settings I use the quick charge came in the box and when I insert it quick charge activates

What is the mAh you get on Ampere measuring app?
I'm using this one. Charges very fast. Im all stock though.
CRST Tessin Boost Series 10000mAh Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 Power Bank, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N01Z2MO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_R0n7yb4NZ8P23
Can i use 5v 2a charger to charge x compact
Always recomendeed charge with slow adapter, not fast. And also do not use phone charging time
Example 1150mAh, 1300mAh, 1500mAh or 1800mAh adapter
