I am completely satisfied with my nexus 7 but it seems to be charging ridiculously slow. So slowly that even browsing with my screen on low, my battery still goes down while its plugged in. And a 1 hour charge with my nexus off only charges it like 20 percent or less while my samsung galaxy player charges 65 percent. I have tried 2 different USB cables and chargers.

considering theres much less voltage going through when using the usb(not wall charger) to charge, its normal for it to charge slow. and normal for it to lose battery % while charging it via usb and using the device.

Be careful as the faster a battery charges the hotter it gets and the hotter it gets the faster it's performance and life decrease (all batteries life and charge levels will slowly decrease over time and after soo many charge cycles as parts of it very slowly kinda burn out and are unusable). Also why even fast chargers SHOULD slow down when you hit roughly 90 - 95% as it is not good to cram power that fast in to lithium ion when close to full as this causes the loss of parts of the battery more quickly. Usually it can be apps that can slow things down as well. like my boss kept complaining his phone are 3 batteries a day until a week later I convinced him to get rid of unneeded apps and low and behold it came right back. This is due to apps requesting what's called a wake lock basically telling the device to not go to sleep. This is needed to do syncs, scans and the like, but poorly written apps can juggle wake lock poorly causing bad battery usage when they don't need to.
My tablet charges in roughly 2.5 hours from dead to full using stock charger which is GREAT for a 4000 maH battery.
I also highly recommend turning the OS off and charging via charge only screen (where you see only battery graphic filling up) that would not involve any apps messing with the device while charging.
Also not good to leave device on charger longer than roughly 30 min past full as this could then have charger throttle between fast and slow charge over time (usually due to imperceptible power fluctuations tricking the circuits in the charger to reset and it takes it a sec to realize the battery charge level and adjust back) while battery is full which is very bad to have it in fast charge when it's full as stated (the charger not talking of what some folks call a fast charge mode on some devices (usually used in some way to speed up charging when using a computer USB port)) and is why even manufacturers will warn you if this sort of thing (that is if you read caution statements or manuals)

Yeah 4 hours here too. At least.
about 2-3 hours here
dont mind though as ive been out using heavy for whole days and still got back home at midnight with 65% left luv the nexus battery
Id love to hear how some claim to have fully charged their Nexus in 2 to 3 hours, it takes me 4 hours minimum to fully charge it from around 6%, i haven't let it drop beyond that yet.
I'm not 100% sure on the time but about 1-2 hours, but then again the lowest I've ever had it is 13%. I tend to keep it plugged in if I'm going to be doing something battery intensive like play games or a lot of web browsing, and tend to turn it off over night and pick up notifications on my phone as it doesn't give off as much light from the back light as my N7.
I love the battery life on the N7 as it could probably go for at least a day and a half on battery if I left it on all the time and used flight mode over night, but I don't want to kill the battery and have to mess around inside it to change the battery.

It depends on what ac adapter you use, and how much current it puts out. I originally used my incredible s charger and out took forever
With the Asus OEM one it takes around 3 hours from around 0-5%

This here. It is horses for courses.
As for the debate on charging times. 3-4 hours is the norm for most of us. Given different tolerances in both the charger and battery some migh be on the lower end of the scale and some higher.
Just remember to use the OEM Asus adapter as it puts out 2amp at 5v. (Or a 2a equivalent) .
Most phone chargers and USB ports on comps/Xbox etc only output 500ma (.5 amp). You can use them but it will take a good ten hours to charge with them.

My phone takes about 2 - 2.5 hours to charge from 5% to 100% so yes, that's likely normal more or less.
From 0-10% takes 3 hours roughly. You're okay.

Depends on the charger. I think the nexus 4 ships with a 1-amp charger. Quick chargers will charge faster (usually 2-amp or higher), but are not good for your battery's life expectancy.
You are lucky!
It takes my phone about 8.5 hours to go from 10% to 100% with the stock 1.2A charger....
I suspect a faulty USB connector on the phone.
It takes me 3 hours to go from 0 – 100. I am not using the stock charger. I am using the old charger from my g2. I guess I should try using the stock charger.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
The majority of your phones charge takes place from ~80-100%.
0 to ~80% should be a "quick charge" that will take much less time to complete.
Also, the charger being more than the stock Amps shouldn't affect the time.
Less, yes. More, no.
The phone will only accept a maximum charge rate that the manufacturers have deemed "acceptable" or "safe" for the device.
hi,
perhaps slightly off-topic, but still about the charger...
So I have the original LG nexus 4 charger, and I also have charger from my samsung tablet. One thing I noticed is that my nexus would charge from any of these two, however the tablet would charge only from its original charger (looks like it requires more output power??). Now my question is: is it ok to charge Nexus from the (more powerful) samsung tablet charger?? Or is it going to affect in any way the battery lifetime, and i should use original charger for each device?
So is it me or does the s4 charge really really slow ?
is this the same for everyone ?
any fixes ?

...*facepalm*. You're not using original charger and you're complain that the one you use doens't works so well? Do you know that original charger is pulling 2000mA out, while your usb-port is pulling between 300mA and 500mA (depends if it front or back usb-port and the quality of usb port). Do the math, 2600mAh battery and 300mA / h. Full charge should take: 2600:300 = more than 8.5 hours.
With original charger S4 recharges from 0 to 100 in 1h 49minutes. If you take a solar charger it will charge even slower (like 48 hours for 0-100%).
Next time try to use your brain before complaining.

Your Samsung power brick has the cable physically attached to it? If not, you can just use a longer cable with the Samsung power supply.
The included power supply is 2 Amps, whoever is getting long charging times, make sure you use either the original Samsung power supply, or comparable in amperage supply.
Mine charges in 2 and a half hours.
Mine takes 2 to 2.5 h to charge from 0 to 100 percent. You should only use the new white charger, it's more powerful than the black one from s3, it's output is 2.0A ,old one is only 1.0A. Newer use other chargers as they may mess up your battery or phone.

I have to check the amps but based on google the Nokia Charger is at 1.3 Amps. I need to remind myself to switch the short Samsung to longer Nokia cables.
Is it safe to get a higher Amp charger, the one that the iPad uses to charge my S4? No drawback execpt for a faster charging time right?

the s4 comes with a 2 amp charger. thats 2000ma. it doesnt charge slowly if you use this charger. i personally am going to pop it on this charger when i get home from work and then keep it on my 700ma charger overnight... no reason to waste that powerful output, it will simply waste electricity.
make sure:
1. you use the charger that came with it
2. you use a cable thats as long as (or shorter than) the stock charging cable. longer usb cables tend to charge the phone slower.
also keep in mind usb ports charge any phone slowly. the s4 will charge even slower on them because the battery is oversized compared to most.

This is normal for inductive charging. The battery trickles down after it reaches 100% to protect the battery, and then it ramps up a little later. If I'm going to have a long day, I'll use wired charging the night before so I'm fully charged in the morning.

It's normal. Batteries have a chip in them such that if you leave them on charge overnight the battery will hit 96% (may report 100%) and then turn off and discharge down closer to 90% and then start the charge cycle again. I always left my Nexus S charging overnight but turn the NX4 Orb charger off during the night when I make a visit to the loo.

I didn't know this. FWIW, both the official N4 Orb and the Energizer Qi charger are the type that keep restarting.
I just got myself a new V20 yesterday. I tried charging it with my own Quick Charge 3.0 wall charger but I'm not too sure about the charge time.
So I'm going to try again. But before I begin, I need some advice.
How do I check if it's really charging with Quick Charge 3.0? Also, the phone now is currently about 66%, how much more do I have to drain before I commence?
Sent from my LG-H990 using Tapatalk
As much as you want. Thing to remember...QC is variable rate, the more charged you are the less fast it is. Also, official posted charge times from OEMs refer to a phone powered off typically.
Right. Powered off. Good point.
And I supposed using an app like "Ampere" is not going to work because of QC3.0's variable voltage and amps, am I correct?
Sent from my LG-H990 using Tapatalk
Okay. Just did a little test.
Started at 5pm with 25% battery left and using my own QC3 wall charger.
Ended at 5.50pm with 91%.
That's pretty fast! And the best part, the battery stays cool despite Quick Charge.
I'm going to try charging from 0% tonight.
Edit - Oh and my phone was turned off while charging.

Just an FYI, it's not good to drain your battery to zero. It'll shorten it's life. Keeping it between 40-80% is optimal from what I've read.
Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk
Ampere app on Play Store, check it's charge current values specially when screen is off. I think it should be like between 2400 mA to 3200 mA. When screen is on , the charge current values decreases. Also with the app, you can compare the current values of QC 2.0 versus QC 3.0. Cable should't be faulty.

Ampere might not be the best way to measure current values because of the way Quick Charge 3.0 charges with variable voltage.

Hey fellas, not to take over the subject matter but feel like you all know batteries well. What if a 1am charger is used overnight for charging. Going with the idea that a slower charge charges the battery better and maintains a better charge all day, or is that not the case. Also is any harm done with charging with a slower charger. Thanks
I never use quick charge at work or at home, slow charging will prolong the battery life. I always start to charge at about 8-15% where possible, and disconnect the charger around 90-95%, this is the proper way to prolong litium battery.
The only time I use QC is when i'm traveling.

I use my old samsung 2A charger, all my QC are still in the box, about 5 of them.:victory:
Thank you @kms108 , I use 1am charger for my overnight charging at home overnight. I tend to also stay away from fast charge but wasn't sure if I was doing more harm then good. I do have a quick charge at work that I use for about 10 min before I leave the office.

I have a samsung 2A and a SE 1.5A using them at work, they are not QC, but they do charge my phone pretty quick especially my xperia XP.

It is better to use a slower to prolong the longevity of the battery. You won't get more 'charge' from using a slower charge. I try to use slower chargers when I can. I usually use my Samsung 2A chargers and use my adaptive fast charging when I need quickness. The LG QC 3.0 does pretty well though. Battery doesn't get that hot but I'm quite sure it still isn't good for the longevity. Nonetheless, we have swappable batteries so I can use my AFC and LG QC 3 more often lime I do my note 4. My HTC m8 and moto x pure usually were used with 1A chargers most of the time unless I needed a super fast charge. Also, LG makes quality batteries. Probably why Samsung is switching to them until they figure out what the hell they did. Also, notice apple doesn't use quick charging technology. iPhone's battery tend to hold charges better until a out 18 Mo th period before user starts noticing appreciable decline. The peeps that put iPad chargers on iPhone's will see less longevity from their battery.
So I thought that QC3.0 was supposed to get you closer to 80% in 35 minutes, vs the 50-55 from qc2.0. So I also read that the factory charger that LG sent is a QC2.0 and not 3. So I bought a 3.0 brick and also a new usb c that is certified compliant with QC3.0. Still only got to about 40% in 30 minutes. Not sure what's going on with that. I understand longevity and all of that. However I got this phone because once my battery is shot I can just swap it. So I don't mind getting that faster time and buying a newer battery a bit early.
Best quick charge cable

As much as you want. Thing to remember...QC is variable rate, the more charged you are the less fast it is. Also, official posted charge times from OEMs refer to a phone powered off typically.

Any recommendations on the best usb c cable for my LG V20. Some I have purchased do not quick charge as described.
