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.

Anyone else having charging issues?

Left phone charging overnight and woke up this morning at 53%.
Using Stock USB cable and ac adapter charging through the wall.
The charger is usually fine and I wake up at 100%. Once or twice I'll wake up with around 73% which is fine.. but at 53%, aint nobody got time for that.
Anyone else have same experience? Any fixes?. Running PA and Franco latest.
Thanks

Just recently started having this same problem. When I notice it happening, I can see the charging indicator flipping on and off rapidly.

I use an HTC charger from my old desire and haven't had any issues.
Not even took the nexus 4 charger out of the box.
Try a different charger.

I had this problem with the stock charger and cable. Ordered a new (and official) LG USB cable and still had the same problem. Oddly enough, if I use the USB cable from my old Atrix charger with the LG stock charger, the issue disappeared and I have not had it happen since.
No idea if this is a problem with the charger itself, or just cheap USB cables

I had this problem 2 months ago. It's definitely the charger. I replaced it with a cheap travel charger and have no problems.

Stock charger is useless, use a different one... preferably without detachable USB cable. Seems like you're getting what I used to before I changed chargers, "USB charging" when you are plugged into a wall outlet.

for me, the charger was fine. The cable is what is failing. Maybe it wasn't made to usb spec. Sometimes when plugging in, I notice it starts USB charging and not A/C charging. I installed a battery widget that tells me what charging mode it is in so I kept a watchful eye on that. After using a different cable (with same charger), I've never had this issue again.

Are you on stock rom? When I first got my nexus it was on 4.2.1 I noticed that if I left the phone on the charger or was using it while it was charging the % number would go down.
Flashing a custom rom and kernel fixed these issues.

Changed the usb-AC adapter to my iphone one while using the same usb wire and its working fine now.

Mine started doing this yesterday but wasn't using the stock charger. I rebooted the phone and used the lg charger and cable and phone has been fine sine.

I had this issue before where the stock battery graph would sometimes show USB charging even though I'm using the wall charger. It would sometimes flicker between charging and not-charging as well.
I replaced the LG USB cable to a generic micro USB cable from ebay and the issue hasn't repeated ... so far.

Is this normal

Have a stock t-mobile nexus 6p and I think it's not charging correctly. As you can see it says 3hrs till fully charged. Any ideas

As far as I can remember it did charge fully in about 1hr 1/2. But now for some reason it's taking sometimes 4hrs. I'm thinking it might be a faulty charger.

Sounds like a faulty charger or cable possibly.

Do you happen to know of a good replacement?

One off of google play store?

yes and no
its all relative... remember that the "handshake" between phone and charger will indicate if its charging rapidly based on the resistance.
thats why using a bad cable on a normal charger will say the same... and cause damage to the crappy charger
now, if this is stock cable and charger, it would tell me that the 6P is drawing less power than the charger has... that doesnt happens just because, to me it sounds like other factors...
for example, a phone that was outside on the sun or its warm, will not draw 3A and potentially get the battery even hotter to the point of damage.. i can see it drawing less power, and controlling the temp... which in turn the current draw will dictate the ETA for full charge...
for the above example... turn phone off... put it over your car's AC unit at full blast and chill it for a few mins.. let it sit another few mins to ensure the temperature of the device is indeed cool..... then turn on, and charge again... should draw more than before in a few minutes

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 Nokia 7 Plus can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

takes about half an hour or so as far as I can remember 8/10

Charges really fast, thanks to 18W charger. Although on cable connected to computer, very slow

You compare 9v 2A(18w) vs 5v 0.5A(2.5W) PC usb? ...obviously it's slow with a pc charge

From mathematical standpoint 30 mins for 0-100% is impossible with 18W charger, let me make it a bit clear
It has a 3.800mAh battery or 3.8Ah for short, which means if it had a 5v 3.8A charger it would take 1 hour if the charger and delivery system(cable+chips inside phone etc) were delivering 100% efficiency. Now 5v 3.8A is 19W charger. For half an hour we need 5v 7.6A or 38Watt.
According to Quick charge which is present in this phone it can be charged at 9v 2A or 18W, so even if the phone has 100% efficiency it would take a bit more than 1 hour to complete 0-100% but because each system can't deliver 100% efficiency calculate to 1hr and 1-20 mins give or take
P.S. half an hour, wish but ain't possible unless we have 9v 4.2A charging with 100% efficiency(or 5v 7.6A if you prefer) - Still going to get this phone soon(if price drops to my desire)

Just charged 25% to 100% took around 1 hour

I have here the test i made 100% to 11% took 6h34m SOT, charging from 11% to 49% took 25 minutes from 11% to 82% took 59 minutes, from 11% to 98% took 1h36m.

Just got it yesterday...
Drained it fully so it died...
Then 0 to 53 % in 35 mins flat...
I think the last 10%( from 90 to 100} takes a big effort.

Just tested with LG V20's Fast Charger of 18W.
Fast charging works. confirmed.
But not with OnePlus 3T's Charger.
Will check the same with 5T's Charger and Update.

Yes OnePlus 3T, 5T does not work.
Also I was charging N7+ from 18% via LG V20's Charger and it got overheated and started malfunctioning. But thankfully there was a circuit breaker and protection circuit in LG's Charger which saved it. Device is working fine too. Now I am using the nokia charger provided in the box as none are working.

So that means if something happens to the current charger provided with the phone, we will have to buy a Nokia branded charger and cable or there would be issues. Hmm

I also meet this using oem cable. With nokia original cable is no issue.

I just got this device Thursday not a Dual SIM device
It charges fully in about 1hr and 30mins of charging adds quite a bit of power to the battery
if we use a PC it takes ages

is it safe to use fast charge daily?

Can we charge the device by a standard charger having 5v 1 amp rating with the USB type c cable plugged into it?

Yes, i use mine from a tablet at 5v and 1.5A. You can use any charger if it is 5v or if it is turbopower o fastcharge.

I also use my old LG's charger. 5v @1.8A. Im not really that into charging speed. One thing i noticed is that on both chargers when reaching 100% it says charged but still charges for another 15minutes before the charging icon (flash) disappears from the screen. Has anyone else noticed this?
