[Q] How much time it takes to charge N4? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Using the provided AC charger in the box.

Well depends from how dead the phone is. My phone completely died, and it took about 3 hours I think to get somewhere over 50%

There's no way any phone or device on the planet takes 3hrs to get to 50%
I'd wait for another response

I believe it takes 3 hours to charge from dead to full according to Anandtech.

Thats sucks majorly as well. :S
Da **** is wrong with google? I thought the nexus S and galaxy nexus were slow charging due to them being samsung phones. This is total deal breaker for me. My friends optimus 2X charges in around 45 minutes, the 2100mah battery does not justify taking more than 3x the time.

Eh?
My ONE X takes 2.5-3hrs from dead, and its 1800mah
3hrs is as expected.

The GS3 charges in less than 2hours so obviously the one X has a messed up charging time as well.

I'll test mine speciifcally for this later but i'm fairly confident most of these posters are crazy, from what i've noticed I'm generally full in like 2 hours.

I'll be waiting.

3 hours is totally normal... I never had a android phone that charges under 3 hours... I wouldn't worry about it.
Maybe the nexus 7 charger will charge it a little faster since it uses 2a instead of 1a?

looks like people who are having charging issues (me included), the charger provided by LG is defective.
I've been charging mine through the wall charger and it says (USB)... it should say AC.. i changed to a samsung charger and now it says AC.
USB charging is really slow due to low amperage compared to wall charging.
The poster who mentioned 3hrs for 50% from a completely dead phone sounds about right for USB charging.

Charging time.

Does anybody else have a very slow charging time? It nearly takes 2-4 hours to charge. Is this normal? This is plugged into the power outlet, not usb.

Yup. Completely normal.
Wow, that's fast... I have a Galaxy player with a smaller battery and it takes a full 8 hours to charge. Can't wait for my N7.
Try charging an iPad2 or the new iPad.
2-4hrs is not bad given the battery life.
Yup, just the normal super slow Nexus 7 charging.
Are you kidding me? It charges fast as hell! My iPad takes at least 8 hours to charge completely, this thing charges in like 3 hours. How much faster can it get?

Ouch, took me less time then that to charge my N7 from <10% to 100% via USB...

[Q] nexus 4 doesn't charge?

I'm praying that I don't have this problem AGAIN! My galaxy nexus had that "charging issue" where it would say its charging all the time. No chargers worked for it so I had to buy an external battery charger. On top of that the phone would wake itself up randomly. Destroying my battery time to 2-3 hours with light usage...
My nexus 4 isn't charging now. Literally just doesn't want to charge, tried 3 different USBs and nothing happens. I am going to murder someone if I go through this again. I don't wanna send mine back to Google or LG because I'm lucky enough to have gotten a "perfect" device, no yellowing, creaking, rattle. I can't take it anymore :banghead: has anyone experienced this?

Leave. Don't talk like that.
Manufacturing defects happen. Get a wireless charger if you can't wait.

Using a 2.1A charger and not playing on it while it's charging, probably 3 hours top from 0%. That's roughly what it was with mine about a week ago, I think I have the battery history still logged in battery monitor widget pro, if I do I'll dig em up for exactness.
About 3 hours from empty to full charged with stock charger on mine.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
With the stock charger, about 3 hours, maybe a little over.
Yep bout 3 hours here also for a full charge.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Hmmm actually mine is charging from 0% to 100% in 3.5-4 hours... weird
I bought the stock dock,and sometimes charging is super slow if I don't get it seated perfectly. That problem aside, does anyone use the dock, and what are their charging times please?

Note 3 Charged from 10% to 100% in LESS than 1 hour!

This is CRAZY! I'd been using my S4 charger all along and decided to try the cable that came with the phone and I'm IMPRESSED! WOW
Yes its fast this is the best phone i ever used

Just curious, what is your average battery life and average screen on time?

You must have a magical charger. Mine charges in about 2 hours with the stock charger at 1800 mah rate (max stock rate).

Mine charges faster than my Note 2 but not that fast. In general I am happy with the improvements seen.
It's strange that yours charges so fast? Most of the stuff I've read so far for charging with the stock N3 wall charger is that they're charging at around 35%/hr
How's yours doing so fast??
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using xda premium
1 to 100 took me 2hrs and 15 minutes charging time.. but after 10 minutes idle of the phone, the battery went down to 98percent and stop there
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I would have to say this is defiantly a understated feature of this phone! I mean it charges soooo much faster than the N2 did! Faster than any phone I have ever had! Amazing!
I have the same experience as the OP.. The phone charges pretty fast if your using the stock charger and cable

Mines charges under an hour from 10% down to fully charged especially if you don't use the phone while it's charging and even then my phone does the job. I'm pretty sure it varies phone to phone so take this with a grain of salt.

Can the note 3 battery be used in the note 2 and i717
i'm asking because i tried the s3 into my note an it worked perfectly I was wondering if I can buy an oem battery an for the note 3 an put it in my note 1
its possible
I have the same experience as OP. We need some hard data on this. What's the best app for monitoring charging? I use system monitor. I love the battery graph in my pull down menu. I'll post a screen shot from a full charge whenever I get a chance. (I have 87% now so it'll be awhile unless I find something good to download on thepiratebay)

It does charge fast only with OEM charger and cable... Is it laced with pixie dust?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
Weird, I thought it was the same for everyone. Mines the same, phones on but with no use it charges to full battery under an hour when it's on red. I work at best buy mobile and customers have told me the same.

It's hard to tell from the info you've posted. But you're screen is on all the time so it looks pretty normal. How much screen on time to you get?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
2.5 hours of screen on time and taking 5 to 6 hours for full charge

2.5 hours is on the low end of normal, but not unheard of. When charging are using usb? That sounds right. If you're using ac that's long. When charging go to settings, battery and it'll show ac or usb charging

I'm not sure if you're using a wall charger or not. If you are your cable is probably bad. It could also be your charger
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
I have also tested it with Samsung and Motorola chargers but it's taking lot of time to charge
Hot Google Nexus 4. Yikes! Help!
So I dialed in *#*# 4636*#*#, went to battery information and Holy F*ck.I was just downloading an app or two on the Play Store. (My hands feel like they've been bitten by red ants.) I am seriously gonna lose it on this phone I actually plan on putting it on the freezer the next time this occurs. I just finished doing a factory reset btw so..
