how long does it take to charge your nexus 7?

Mine gets from 0% to 100% in about 6 hrs. Is that normal? Wonder if it seems a bit too long that's somehow contributing to my battery issues.. use original charger plugged into a wall socket.

Yes, I believe that is normal. I just did a charge today, from 0% to 100% in about 4.5 hours. Quite quick I was very surprised.

Six hours seems pretty long. The lowest I've let my battery run down to so far is 55%, and it took two hours to get to 100% on the stock charger.

I get full charges from 10% or so in 2-3 hours.

did you use the original wall charger or you charge it via PC's USB? I guess the wall charger is a bit faster.

The wall charger should be around 4 times faster. You computer outputs around 500mA where as the wall charger is 2A (aka 2000mA).

Don't use third party USB cables with charger it also charge the nexus 7 slowly. This is what I found when I first bought it. Using original cable with original charger seems to charge it very quickly.

I'm using stock cable and charger plugged into the wall socket. Everything else is perfect, and not enough to return but a concern nonetheless. My Toshiba thrive charge blazing fast at 0_100% in 2_1/2 hrs.

Any other input?

When you are charging, is your Nexus 7 powered on, or does it display the battery icon in the middle of the screen?
For reference, mine was powered on when it charged from 0% to 100%.

[Q] Nexus 4 Charging Very Slow

I am not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but I am seeing that i'll charge my phone for somewhere between 5-8 hours using the original wall charger and cable but it will not fully charge. It gets to about 70-80%. Is this happening to anyone else?

Any other details? Rooted? ROM?
My phone fully charges from 10% to 100% in about 2 hours or less

5-8 hours is definitely not normal. It fully charges from 0 to 100% in 3h 45min Max and even that is a little bit of a stretch. For me its more like 3hours.

Check your chaging status. If it says USB, thats your problem. Without further knowledge of your setup, I cannot advise you any further

Just happened to me, plugged into original charger before going to sleep, woke up and it shows only 80%. Plugged into Samsung charger, now up to 90% in 20 minutes.

Stock everything. It's happened about 4 nights now.

I find that sometimes my stock charger detects as USB instead of AC. You can see if it is charging that way in the battery details in the settings. When it is stuck on USB it is way slower.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Yeah and if you want it to charge a little bit more faster you turn off the device

Check about phone, make sure it says Charging (AC) and not Charging (USB). If it's USB then thats the reason why, use another charger.
My stock charger that came with N4 went to USB but then for some reason, after I replugged it, it went to AC and has been AC ever since.

youre welcome. fast shipping too! it was supposedly be here monday, i got it today.. beautiful charge. AC all the way. Good use for the USB cord is ADB and updates
cant seem to spread the word enough because youre the only one that replied about it. couple threads that ive mentioned it but nope, they think its phone related problem or the cord.. cord, yes, because its a USB cord to an AC adaptor, duhhh!!! nothings perfect

I was having a problem where mine, with the charger that came with it would charge very slowly, once overnight only got to 80% in ~8 he's i watched it and sometimes would not even show charging on the lock screen. I switched to my HTC one s charger and it is charging with great speed. Issue with these chargers?

did your HTC One S have an adaptor like the Nexus 4 or any other phone now a days... I think thats the probllem. having an adaptor from USB to AC PLUG messes with these phones. Like I said before, above post.. buy an LG AC Wall Charger.. works great.

Wow, glad I found this thread. I was wondering what the cause of this was, as well. I've been using my GNex charger since it switched over.

[Q] 3 Hours of Charging = 30% Battery

I'm unsure what's wrong!!!
My phone has been fine, until it died today. I practice a 1 charge a day rule and I let my battery drain completely before I even think about putting it back on the charger.
Today, my phone died a littler earlier than expected, but that's okay because I was using my iPhone for most of the day. I got home at about 11PM and put my phone on the charger at 11:15PM. Here it is, 2:25AM and my phone only has 30% charge.
I've never noticed it charging this slowly before because I typically put it on the charger before I go to sleep and take it off when I wake up. This doesn't seem normal from ANY phone that I've ever used or troubleshooted in my life.
Why so slow? Is everyone's phone just as slow or should I be concerned?
Edit: I am using the charger that came with my phone in the same wall outlet that I've used since I got the phone. Nothing else is plugged into that outlet, either.

It would seem sensible to try a different charger and power outlet.

Your should be at 100% in that 3 hours. Try using a tablet wall charger.

With my phone, sometimes it charges in a flash, and sometimes it's charging for hours, idk why they do this.

I don't have another charger. All I own is Apple products, unfortunately.
I've done other other outlets throughout the house before posting, but I wouldn't see why the one I'm using is compromised in the slightest. It's charged the phone fine since I've gotten it.

The only Tablet I have is my iPad. I was thinking about just using the A/C adapter, but I was worried that that might mess something up with my luck. LOL.

You can't use the iPhone\iPad chargers as most of them don't comply with the USB charging standard (It will only charge at 500ma, the limit of USB charging).
You said it died quicker than usual as well? Sure nothing is running that drains the battery? Check the battery usage in settings after leaving it unplugged a while and see if you see anything that's using a ridiculous amount of battery.

I've had the same problem. Sometimes I plug mine into a wall charger and it reads Charging (USB) which may be your problem. Other times it reads Charging (AC).

It's been off of the charger for about an an hour and a half and nothing out of the norm is draining the battery. Screen on time is at 40%, but that's because I was reading all of my sports news and stuff from my device.
Interesting thing to note: I'm at 79% on my Nexus 4 after about an hour and a half unplugged and doing regular browsing. I'm at 98% on my 4s with doing just about the same things as I've done on my Nexus 4, and even watching a YouTube video on my 4s. I've also had a great deal of voice calls and texts this morning to my iPhone. They were neck and neck when I first got my N4 on December 10th. Now, it's dying faster. The only difference is that I've installed Spotify on my Nexus 4 since then... Which isn't running.

It was reading USB last night! I thought that was normal, lmao... Thinking it meant "there is a USB cable charging it and not wireless charging."
Hm... The plot thickens, I guess.

Yeah it sometimes reads USB but if you unplug then plug it back in, it will change to AC. Not sure how to fix it but that's your problem right there.
Question: are you stock, rooted stock, or different ROM?

Fast Charge 4-5hrs?

just wondering how's everyone fast charge is, back when i had my note 7 it usually only takes an hr and 15mins for the phone to get fully charge, even in use. I'm currently using the stock charger and I'm not happy for it

Yeah....., did you plug it in and immediately take that screen shot? Are you using the stock cable with it? And lastly does it say fast charging in the notification bar?
Mine takes roughly an hour and a half to go from 20ish% to 100%

My V20 charges crazy fast. There has been 2 times where It seemed to charge very slowly but I chalked it up to a likely bug or something. Other than those 2 times the device charges as it should, even when I'm using it providing the screen brightness isn't all the way up.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

I will say if its charging slow make sure the usb end is plugged all the way in to the plug that goes in to the wall. I noticed this morning I was getting a slow charge and when looked at the connection it was not in all the way. Once I pushed it all the way in it started charging fast

As a v10 user I can tell you that sometimes (even using factory charger and cable) it doesn't go into fast charge.
Unplug it and plug it back in the lock screen should state "fast charging.." not just "charging.."

V20 doesn't charge as fast when using while charging. I am guessing that is a firmware thing or intentional to protect from heat, which I rarely notice.

that's understandable... back in note 7 it gets pretty hot but never exploded or smoked... but note 7 in use while playing a game will still charge the phone in 2hrs...
for me its a really big difference coming from note 7
thanks for everyone's input
using note 7 charger is actually a lil faster than the stock.... as far for my experience

Charging speed

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.

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.

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.

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.
