Charging Nexus 7 - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

how much time it takes?

Depends on the battery state of charge.
Figure with tablet on but sleeping, about 10-15% per hour.

About 3 hours from 10% with oem charger & cable

But that's with it turned off, right?

On or off does not matter unless you are using the device.

I get about +40%/h.

for me, sometimes 4h...sometimes 6h...

You should be able to get it fully charged in a little under 4 hours.

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?

Battery Draining While Phone is Off

I just got my nexus 4.
Last night I charged the phone completely, disconnected if from charger and turned the phone off.
This morning when I turned it on the battery was drained 15% down to 75%
Does anyone else have this problem?
Defect with phone?
Thanks for help.
You have to let the battery settle and let the battery stats calibrate. The % that you had after rebooting is what you really have. The first time it wadjt showing the right amount.

He said he turned his phone off...
I don't see how it can lose 15% if it is completely shut off. That's weird.

Then when he turned it on, he "lost" 15%. Like I said in my post, what it said before he turned it off was wrong. He didn't really lose 15%. It was just displaying the wrong thing.

You might have some apps running in the background that is preventing your device from going to deep sleep to conserve power. Check what's running in the background when your phone is off. You can use better battery stats app to check what's consuming your battery level.
Are your running a custom kernel? I've heard of a few cases with kernels where even though the phone is sleep and screen off just touching the screen will cause battery drain.

I'm guessing you either meant it was at 85% or drained 25% down to 75
Either way this is common on a lot of phones now due to the way the battery gauge works. When you turn your phone off then on it doesn't always remember where it was so gives a value and then if it's under where it should be it soon recalculates and can either starts going up or stays on the same value for a long time. This has happened on both my old SGS2 and also my N4 for example this morning while my phone was being drained by the FB app keeping GPS on, I turned off location access and then restarted my phone which dropped a few extra % and then sat for a good few hours at that % even though I used my phone.
Moral to the story is don't always take what you see as true, give it time to settle and see how it goes over a few charging cycles.

Is there a fix for slow charging issue?

Since i updated my device to 4.2.1 charging my nexus 7 really get slow..... It takes 6 hours to 7 hours to fully charge. Im using the cable and charger that it came from the unit.
Is there a fix for this one? Thanks.

AW: Is there a fix for slow charging issue?
Check whether the device charges in USB mode. It can happen for some reason I don't know. In this mode it charges much slower. I once had it happen when on AC.
It's on AC. It takes 6 hrs to fully charge from empty. =(

What do you mean by rebooting it? I have the same charging problem. It needs about five to six hours for me to charge fully. How did you solve it? Is it really the problem of android 4.2.2?
Just try rebooting it or restart the device while charging. Im using battery widget reborn app, to see how many hrs left to make my nexus 7 to be fully charged.
Here's what i do,
Plug the charger then check after 2 mins on the app battery widget reborn how many hrs left to be fully charged, if it's says more than 4 hrs or greater than that. Hit the power button and restart your device. Once the device booted up, check the remaining time left on charging if it's improved to 3 hrs or less to fully charged your device.
Try it. It's working fine for my nexus 7.

I tried the app you mentioned. But the remaining time it indicates isn't equivalent to the real time used. Maybe this app doesn't work for my device, it still needs four to five hours for my nexus being fully charged. Anyway, thanks for your reply.

Or you may try to go to bootloader, then turn it off.. Unplug the charger, then put it back in then turn on your device.. It works for me.

nope...
ours is a 2600mAh battery,
and taking 3-4 hours to charge this battery is quite normal when input current is 3.7v
Takes 2 - 3 hours. Depends on at what percents did you start to charge it.

Wont charge beyond 94%
My phone (Grand 2) takes 3-4 hours to charge up to 92-94%, but will never reach 100%. It will be stuck anywhere between 92-94% :crying:
I tried restarting the phone whenever the charging is stuck, but no use. But if I remove the battery and re-insert it, I could see a progress in charging and it finally reaches 100%. So, I thought a phone reset may help, but again, no luck.
Any suggestion is really appreciated.
Thanks!
U r right bro...lags in battery

Check your charger. If the output is 1 Ampere, it should not get stuck at 94%. If it is 0.7A, it will struggle at 94%.
Click on thanks if you think I helped.

i had the same problem today. i started charging from 2% and it took 5hrs to reach 92%. then i kept the charger plugged in for another 1hr bt i saw only 1% increased.bt pulling off the battery and putting it back helped to reach 100% within another 15mins. and i checked the charger.its showing the output current to be 1A . wht should i do? is it a problem?
Are you guys using DU Battery Saver? It sometimes makes my phone charge fast at those late stages (90-100%) maybe it might help!

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

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..
