Had my Nexus 7 about a week now, had some system restarts at random times (when not even using the device) which is a bit of a concern, but read it could be the 4.2 update. But as hasn't happened while using so far it's not annoyed me. However charging is becoming a bit annoying. It's taking forever!
I have a battery widget installed and its stats tell the story. Battery is usually fully charge in: 6 hours 59 minutes.
It's plugged into the wall, with the cable and charger it came with, tried using an Apple charger block to see if it was that, no luck. Not tried another Micro USB cable yet, but may do if anyone thinks it could be that?
Also according to the stats it charges 1% every 7 minutes and I put it on charge at 9:45am this morning at 35% and it currently on 66% and it is now 2:55pm. It also says it will finish charging at 7:00pm tonight.
The app/widget is Battery Widget? Reborn! Does this have anything to do with the slow charging?
But this is a bit of a joke to be honest. Is my device faulty?
Mine charged from 1% to full in 2h10m today. Stock charger.

You are using the original 2A charger right? Have you tried with an other USB cable on it (might be broken?)
Also try to monitor your charging without the app, just write down what time you plugged it in at what percent and check it that way. (the app might show wrong readings).
If you have an other 2A charger you can borrow, you can try to eliminate that to. Not sure how long it takes via a regular USB port on the PC.
If it keeps charging that slow, your battery might be defect..
Good luck anyway
So far been lucky with my nexus but one thing that disappoints me is the slow charging .
On a fully drained bat it takes 5 hours to charge with stock charger.
Is this normal for the nexus ? When I opened it out the box I let the bat fully drain before charging, and its taken this long to charge every time.

Is not recommended to drain your battery completely to zero. Google also recommends to charge your battery fully when you first boot up your device. Many don't read the instructions that came with their box. Also if you do a bit of research you would have notice that your concerns have been asked and answered on other threads on here. And my last advice, plug you nexus 10 before bedtime that way is nice and full when you wake up. Problem solved.

I had mine off and charged overnight, woke up to 40% battery life.

5 to 6 hours is normal for a full charge from the A/C charger on a Nexus 10.

Yeah I just realized I was using a 5A charger and not the 10A one that came with.

Mine has got the same problem... I plug it in and it doesn't even load it's just stuck at 0%... + light bleed + slow gaming - Google/Samsung did not do a good job... Its seems like its just a prototype, a beta version....
My nexus 4 was all fine till I flashed the r22 kernel.
My phone had about 22% battery left, so I plugged it in to wall, and I started using it at the same time
To my surprise, after 2 hours of being plugged in to wall, the battery has discharged to 19%! And I've been only using Whatsapp with lowest brightness! no heavy usage!
So I left it there to charge without using it, and it reached 95% in about 7 hours! (usually it took 2 to 3 hours)
I reverted back the kernel and the ROM and tried again, with no success! It goes through the same behavior.
Any Ideas? Is something wrong with my device?
are you using the original charger? my nexus 7 discharges while plugged in if I'm using my nexus 4 charger

Could be the cable? Im using its cable but plugged to the pc.
I am suffering from something similar since updating OTA to 4.2.2. I'm using the official charger and always charge overnight but twice in the last 6 days the device has not been fully charged in the morning. Looking at the battery graph it reached 100% in a few hours but then slowly discharged despite still being plugged in. I use the Clock Daydream in Night mode (and always have, since I got the device in November) so I'm going to disable that first and see if the problem exists. If so then I'll try a different charger. If that fails then it's factory reset time.
it is strange that after reaching 100% plugged it in to wall if i use it to listen to music or something like that still plugged to the wall it discharges to 99%.
This makes no sense to me a phone discharging while plugged to the wall
same thing's happening to me. not really that bothered but I want my phone to charge and not discharge when I play music. ;(

Yes, I've had the same experience since the OTA 4.2.2 update. Went from 8% to 1% while running nothing but XDA app at lowest brightness. Stock charger. Never had it happen before update.

That's your issue, your PC's usb only supplies 500-+ mA for charging. The nexus 4 original charger is 1.2mA.
It's the stock charger, it sucks, try re-plugging the cable several times (check in battery, if charing says "AC" instead of "USB)

Once your phone reaches 100% it stops charging even if it's still plugged in.

Until reaches about 80%, then it starts again (not completely sure if it's 80%)

this. they must've "overlooked" the charger lol
Similar issue.
At what mA should the Nexus 4 be charging?
With current widget, and the same charger, my phone charges at 200mA, my wife's at 600-700mA. This is using the USB wall charger from LG
I switch to a wall charger and mine goes to 400mA.
My phone charges so slow

With no background apps running, my Nexus 4 charges around 800mA until it reaches about 80%, when it starts to ramp down until battery is fully charged.
Thanks. It seems so weird that my wife and I have the same phone, same setup , and hers seems to charge twice as fast.
Mine is always 200mA and hers is 400mA, or when mine is 400mA, hers is ~700mA
I'm going back to complete unrooted stock. See what happens.
The only difference is my phone is newer than hers. Her phone was out of the original batch, mine is very recent. For example, hers is original, mine had the nipples at the bottom to prop it up for the speaker.

Went back to complete stock.
Wife's = 800mA
Mine = 400mA

Stock charger sucks, sometimes charge goes as USB and not AC. I have to re-plug
normal. that's good things. almost all old android device charge very quick. sometimes 30mins for 86/100 battery
but the temerature is getting high either. so if you charge slow ,that 's a good things

try charging your phone when your battery is like ~10% or so.
To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
My phone arrived with 54% charge. It took about 40min to charge to full. Will do some more complete testing over the next few days.
The charge speed is something im a bit concerned about. I've noticed charging while the phone is on significantly slows down the charging process. To the point where 10 minutes went by on "super fast charging" and the phone only increased 1% in charge. The minute I laid the phone down screen off and the charging went significantly faster.

Yes because if your using the phone or the phone screen is on your consuming battery life while your charging so it's going to be slower charging than if the screen was off.

The issue i have is my note 10+ didn't have this issue nor any phone I've ever used. I could be gaming on my note and it would charge normally.
Sent from my SM-F916U1 using Tapatalk
Didn't the note 10+ have a 45 watt charging right? If you had the charger you probably wouldn't notice it
8% to a full charge took 1hr 15min. Haven’t tried charging while using the device at the same time yet.

I tried a quick test by running the battery down to 90% and then launching a game on the big screen. (Clash Royale) Plugged in the charger while playing and it topped off in just a few minutes. Going to run it down to 50% tonight and repeat the test.
Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk
Repeated the test, this time I had the battery at 55%. Played WGT Golf while charging. Default settings which had screen brightness are 30%. Battery topped off in 46 min.

The phone only charges at 25 watts max
For some reason my phone is taking 6hrs to fully charge from zero on the Samsung fast charging dual pad. What is going on?
I hooked up my USB c gizmo.... only saw max 18w charging using a variety of cables and chargers with fold 2. I'm coming from a note 10+ where I saw 45w max. What gives?

Has the charging pad been used to charge other devices and worked as it should? Is the pads own plug and cable being used as they could determine the charge speed too.
On the Fold 2, is fast wireless charging enabled? If you go to the Battery settings in Device Care at the bottom there's Charging. Make sure both Fast Charging and Fast Wireless Charging are on. You can schedule the fast wireless charging to turn off at night so it charges more slowly and, if the charger is compatible, the charging light dims and the cooling fan doesn't turn on.
I only charge wirelessly using the Samsung 15w wireless charging stand and have the Fold 2 scheduled to turn off Fast charge at night. This turns off the chargers fan and dims the light.
All of that is checked. My note 10+ was fine. This is slow as ****. Not the pad. Watch does fine etc. It charges at 12w. Oh well. I guess if I want it fast I'll just have to plug it in.

I have the same issue. Wireless charging has been abysmal at best.

Glad it's not just me. Still love the phone. I usually charge it when I'm sleeping so it's fine. Might have to give it a refresh cable charge before bed so it's not at zero when I go to bed.

It's definitely a new experience for me with the charging. I came from a oneplus 7 pro to the note 10+ to this and those could go from dead to full in under 40 minutes. This phone is much slower charging overall. I Def. Don't regret buying it, i just wish it came with a cheap case to get me by until good ones were out and the charging was on point.
