OK guys I got my nexus 10 last night and I finally killed the battery thru this morning .first time charging it and instead of using the stock charger I'm using the note 2 charger .in one hour its at 20 % and I haven't touch it and the tablet is on .I have nfc turned off and wifi is still on .I also had disabled Google currents and Google + (I don't use Google +) .Is this fast ?I don't know charge times with stock charger cuz I havent used it yet

OK some research ...
1.the charger is fine that comes with the nexus! It charges average. Roughly 6 -7 hours to a full charge
2. Note 2 charger is about the same with nexus charger with charging time. Maybe barely faster!
3. With original charger: I'm easily ,constently on my nexus playing videos, downloading, browsing,etc!its not hurting my charge and not decreasing any charge time. I wanna say its partial blame to a certain app called GOOGLE CURRENTS! Without disabling it, constantly runs background and killing battery. Have GPS on google maps constantly running background killing some juice.
4.nfc turned off as I wouldn't use it. I'm sure this is helping my battery
I did just get my nexus 32 gig on the second batch when they became available again on google play. Could there be a bad 1st batch considering the stuff I'm reading on complaints ,possibly. I can only compare my old galaxy tab 10.1 wifi 32 gig to my new nexus and both battery charge times about on par with each other. Galaxy tab edges out barely on time and lasting juice.
Take my observations for what it worth ...just my experience with this tab

I am just using my note 2 charger. Before I did I made sure the ratings were the same so I knew there were identical. I once tried charging my note 2 with an older charger and it was SLOW.
I've only charged the N10 once but my time from around 2% to fully charged was consistent with what had been reported as normal here.
So do the chargers for the Nexus 10 and the Galaxy Note II have the same ratings\amperage output? The reason I ask is that I have a UK Note II charger but a US Nexus 10 charger and here in Ireland the UK one works without having to go out and buy an extra adapter. I would ideally like to use the Note II charger to charge the Nexus 10 without having to go an pay for an adapter, I would rather spend the money on a nice case for the Nexus 10
Cheers,

Look at the Amp rating on note ii charger.
If it's 5v 2A, it's the same thing, and will charge nexus 10 equally. If it's less, it's slower.

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.

Hi,
I just bought a Nexus 7 and noticed that it has a different charger than the Android smartphones I have, e.g. Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. However, the connection is still the same.
My question is, is it safe to use a smartphone charger with my Nexus 7, just to have less stuff lying around? Is it safe to use the 7's charger with my smartphone? Will I break my devices if I do it?
Thanks!
Perfectly safe. The Nexus charger puts out slightly more current than most phones, worst case it will charge them slightly faster, just as a phone charger will be a little shower with the tablet.

You won't break your devices, but it would take an extraordinarily long time to charge your N7 with the phone's charger. Conversely, the phone is not going to charge exponentially faster using the tab's charger. So, all in all, wile it's not ideal, you won't be hurting anything.

The phone won't charge any faster using the N7 charger, but the tablet on the phone charger would be significantly slower- to the point that even moderate use while plugged in would result in still draining the battery. Assuming no use while charging, the tablet would require several hours more than normal for a full charge.

I disagree, my galaxy prevail charges twice as fast on my n7 charger than with a standard phone/car charger. However my n7 does take forever on the phone/car charger. Literally like 8hrs+ to reach 100%.

Check the 'mA' or 'A' rating on the charger.. The higher it is, the faster it will charge.
the charger I got bundled with Nexus 7 is outputing 2A (2000mA to be exact), which is quite higher than most phone chargers
(I've got chargers with standard 500mA & with 800mA).
I've been using the Nexus 7 charger for charging my ZTE Blade and nothing seems wrong using it..
A phone's charging circuit will automatically restrict the current to the specs needed by the phone.
PS: 'A' stands for 'Amperes' & 'mA' stands for 'milli Amperes ', both are units of measuring current.
For some reason my nexus is charging very slowly today. It has gone from 24% to 52% in a span of 3 hours, usually is fully charged by that time. Stock 4.2.1. Any ideas why?

I have experience extremely slow charging with anything other than the stock charger with the stock cable. Not sure what that's about, but I hope I don't lose either of them...
The reason why other (phone) chargers won't work/ charge the device slower is because the Nexus charger (the big block) outputs 2A, many phone chargers only give 1A or 0,5A. (You can charge you phones with the N7 charger twice as fast, not recommended though.)

Mine too... slow as hell on 4.2.1
I searched for slow charging today, as I have found some nights that my Nexus 7, plugged in to the original Nexus 7 charger and using the Nexus 7 usb lead, and displaying Charging (AC), is not full by morning.
Other nights, it is full.
If it has not gone to 100%, then sometimes when I unplug the micro usb and plug it back in again, it charges up the final bit quite quickly.
Is there any way to measure from within the stock Nexus what charging rate it is getting?
Mine charges really quick. Turn off the WiFi while on charge. That should do the trick..(did for me)
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Mine takes 5-6 hours to fully charge. I found, the charge increased when the device was off (i.e. less draw, more power for charging).
Download 'CPU monitor' from the play store and see if there is an app hogging your processor. This happened to me the other day. My n7 usually charges from empty in 3 hours, but it was charging much slower.
I felt my nexus was just getting slightly warm on the back, so fired up CPU monitor, and found an app that was keeping the CPU running. So I killed the process and everything went back to normal.

There's a thread on a battery pack over in the accessories subforum. It was a great deal so I got one and have been posting and following it. Related to this thread, why?
I found that the uber smart logic that was added as part of the 4.2 Android release can use a charger designed to the Apple power standard instead of the USB power standard. This means the Nexus tries to sense whether the data lines are connected for data or not. This in turn means that the Nexus can get confused by noise on the data lines and decide to slow charge at the 500 mah max rate because it thinks there's a computer on the other end of the cord instead of a charger. Simply disconnecting and reconnecting or changing cables should make the problem go away.

Install current widget which tells you the charge.

give this a try?
My wife's N7 (I keep it within a week or two of CM nightlies) wouldn't charge at all - It would work, most of the time, if plugged in, but batt would never rise above zero, even if android was not booted up, screen was off, overnight, airplane mode, anything. Flashed different builds, no change.
Sometimes when turning it on, you couldn't get anything but the fuzz, like a bad GPU. Tried ADB, tried power+down trick (toggle to power off) but the bootloader screen never responded to any input.
What fixed it for me was removing the back case, unplugging the battery, and plugging it back in. Suddenly the battery noticed it had 46% capacity. Few days since, so far so good. Not hard to take apart n7's, might be worth a shot if you're having weird batt issues.
The batt cabled on this N7 felt looser than the plug on other n7's I've taken apart. If this issue reoccurs I'm going to stock some tape over the connector.
I tried current widget but it shows "no data" for current.
Battery diviner has graphs which show rate of charging. Last night it recharged from 82 to 100 in 3 hours. This looks interesting.

Well, my Nexus 7 takes up to 12h to charge completly (currently 6%/h). Using the std. AC, but not the original cable... I have doubts that it should take that long, even if I do not use the original cable.
Anyone a clue or similar experiences?
Whenever I'm on the road I use my phone a lot for navigation. The charger I have now can barely keep the current charge while the phone is navigating and I don't know if it's the charger or the old battery in the phone. My Note 3 is arriving tomorrow and I'd like to know which charger should I get that'll charge the phone even while it's navigating and with the screen on. Will any 2 amp charger do?
Thanks.
My Note 2 used to have the same problem even with a 2.1Amp charger. I found that the lead between the charger and the phone can make a big difference. I used the "'Galaxy Charging Current" app to check which lead was best. Not Benn on a long enough journey with the Note3 yet to see how well it stands up. GCC is at

The Note 3 draws only 1,200 mA (1.2A).
Therefore charger over 1.2A is redundant because the device only receives that much.
The stock charger is 2.1A. But like I said, phone only draws 1.2A.
Download the app mentioned above. It's very useful.
Thanks for the responses. Can you guys recommend a car charger brand?

35 hours or more of total battery life with 6 1/2 to 7 hours of screen time. I play a lot of intense games so my screen time is lower, but I've easily been able to get 5 1/2 of screen time out of this thing playing Galaxy on Fire 2 and it's like one of the most demanding mobile games available.

the exnyos does have a full powered charge at up to 80% then trickles to 100%. it takes mine about 4-5 hours to go 0-100. it doesn't use qualcomms quick charge tech, but it doesn't trickle the whole way. if it takes 7 hrs then the charger or cable could be bad or the tablet may not be telling the charger to send 2amps.

It's pretty slow. Almost 30% slower than the N10.1-12 a lot of us came from. It's the move from Samsung's proprietary 30-pin connector to standard microUSB. The N10 using a pogo pin charger (vs. its standard microUSB) is about 30-40% faster than what's shown below.

that article was what concerned me before i bought the tablet, but i went ahead and got it anyway. the only time that mine had actually nearly taken that long was on the first few charges. sometimes it would be stuck at trickle and wouldn't pull the full power (i actually only get an average of 1.6A from the stock charger and cable - I've never verified the volts. i could stick it on my killawatt and see what it pulls. after those few quirks i don't see charge times as long as anand has reported. it's always that last 80% that's a killer. it seem to take from 1.5-2hrs depending. i can go from 37% to 80% in 2hrs then i have to wait nearly as long for the last 20%. i think it's a battery saving technique that samsung is using. toyota's reports showed that charging the battery to 80% capacity extened the life. on my 700t there's a battery saving option that won't charge the battery over 80%.

USB 3.0 doesn't impact charging time, at least not yet. And the S-800 version of the N10.1-14 does use the same SoC as the N3 and someone here with a SM-P605 reported getting a full charge in about 5 hours and 80% in 3.
Charging is an interesting story on the Note 3, but primarily because of what doesn’t change. The Note 3 continues to use Samsung’s tablet charging specification and charger, which has 2 amps of maximum output. The Note 3 draws 2 amps over a considerable amount of the charging curve, like other Samsung devices (in the linear part of the charge curve). USB 3.0 doesn’t change things up here quite yet with the new supported charge voltages that are coming eventually with the power delivery specification.
The Note 3 does charge faster overall compared to the SGS4 however thanks in part to the new PMIC (PM8941) which is part of the overall 8974 platform story.

lol, that's actually a feature that Donald Trump insisted be included in all white and black Notes to remind people they aren't part of the exclusive 1% who actually have solid gold Notes. Interestingly the solid gold Note consistently shows 1%.
See this is the odd thing - I had this tablet a month ago but got it exchanged because I found a cheaper one anyways on that tablet I am positive I was getting 6hrs screen time which was some youtube videos but majority was browsing the internet and that was it.
However on this new one I just got 9hrs30mins and that was with watching a 2hr movie streaming online, about 2hrs worth of streaming tv shows, loads of web browsing and also a little bit of Youtube...Personally I think this is awesome screen time (Mind you it's my first tablet so nothing to compare to but still). I am very happy with charge (5hrs) and battery drain on this tablet - very nice indeed.
Would love to squeeze 11 hours out of this like someone had in the earlier posts but that seems a tad difficult considering I already have brightness pretty low and all pointless apps disabled.
