[Q] NY Tabs sluggish to recharge?

One recent review of a NY Tab said it was taking a very very long time to recharge....
http://www.pcworld.com/article/229763/samsung_galaxy_tab_101_wifi_a_worthy_rival_to_the_ipad_2.html
from the article: "Another thing I noticed in my casual testing: The 7000-mAh battery took inordinately long to charge. After 2 hours plugged in, my test unit had reached only about 30 percent charged. The battery is rated for up to 9 hours of use."
anyone heard of this, or does someone who actually has a NY model have anything to say about that?

The charging current probably is written on the charger, anyone can take a look?
If what they said is true, then the charger is charging at about 1A and it should take about 7 hours to fully charge...
I'm not sure i want a Galaxy tab 10.1 anymore.
EDIT:
Is this the charger that is included? http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ETA-P10JBEGSTA-reviews
Samsung site says it charges at 2A, so the 7000mah battery should be fully charged in about 3,5 hours.

This is true, it charges twice as slow as my Xoom maybe slower. and it seems to drain faster also(during use anyways) and my Xoom is OC'd @ 1700.

This was the only review I've read so far that mentioned slow charging. I do know when I had a Xoom it seemed to charge fully in @ an hour or so. I'm hoping that its charging time is not a big problem for the Tabs, since I'm thinking of getting one.

Mine charges slow over USB, but with the wall charger, it's at least 30%/hour

I noticed that the io tab took a long time its first few charges. Now it doesn't take too long to charge. Few hours at most.

Same here the first one took hours and now it's a few. The charge really does last after that.

I checked the compatibility list... All of the 10.1 are compatible with that charger.
Found it at Amazon for 32 and change...
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Detachable-Charger-ETA-P10JBEGSTA/dp/B004CGHDEO
I will be buying one or two of these depending on the one that ships with the tablet. Can we get confirmation on the one that is included?

I'm recharging mine right now from a complete discharge.
Exactly 2 hours in and my battery is at 44%.
Do probably about 4 hours for a full charge.
I'm using the OEM wall charger.

If you guys are having issues the quickest way to charge something is by turning it completely off. im sure that will speed up the charge a lot at least by 50%...also the first few charges are the ones that typically take longer. Eventually the battery will charge faster.

one thing i dislike about note10.1

the charging time. this thing takes a really loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time to charge (about 5+hours). i know it's 7000mah, but my xoom (6X00mah) takes only about 3 hours , and both of them have almost same battery life (note is slightly better)
as i know xoom uses 12V to charge, how about note?

Mine charges up to about 98% in about 3 hours from about 30%

Im on the original firmware on the 8013 white version. Last night i went from 3%- 79% in a little over 2 hours. I cant complain about that. Also, i turn it off when i do that. When i charge it while on, i put it in power saver mode, and it charges well enough for me. I think the first time it charged it took about 5 hours...but since then, very good.

Very usefull information. The WHITE version. I wonder the grey or black version how much it takes to charge. I think black version charges more quickly because black absorbs energy, and white doesn't, what do you think?
Mah, samsung users are just as stupid as iphon users, just the opposite sides.

And since you have no Samsung devices in your signature I'm assuming you just came here to share that observation? Too much time on your hands?

Mine def is a slow charge, but honestly never timed it. could be 3 hrs, but feels like 5+ or is it. not sure . i think.

Is this using the power outlet charger? Or is this using a 3rd party charger? I don't have any problems charging my Note 10.1. Takes about 45 minutes or so to charge from 80% to 100%

I alternate between Note 10.1 and Nexus 7 while the other one is charging. Regardless, charging time hasn't been an issue and am happy with it. Note 10.1 gets about 8 hrs of on screen time versus about 6 hrs on Nexus 7.

My first Note 10.1 (White 16gb) took awhile to charge, it was much longer then expected. I even posted a similar question here and had the same responses, minus the idiot. I exchanged it for a 32gb version and the second one charges much more quickly, leaving me to believe the first Note I had was faulty.

Mine is almost the same, but in 45mins xoom can charge from 60-100

Only thing i dislike now that i have CM 10 is ...nothing:good:

You need to make sure your charger has an output of 2A. Anything less will take way longer.

Mine (white, 16Gb) charges much much slower than my Xoom. The Xoom will go from 0 to 70 in just over an hour.
I just discovered the power saving mode and will test how that impacts charging. Right now I am using the Samsung charger connected to the Samsung dock and its slow. Hopefully not an issue with this tablet.

Great story bro...I wish I were that creative..
Btw everyone, there are no differences between the deep grey and the white other than aesthetics. And the only difference between the 16 and 32 gb models was how much you were willing to shell out for more storage space. I am just getting tired of people posting a paragraph describing their device before getting on with describing a problem...all you need is which version you have ie, 8000, 8013 etc. Flame me if you want, it is my opinion.
Now I step down from my soap box...night y'all.

Any one know how much time n7 will take to charge 100%.
- Using power adapter
- Using system USB port.

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.

Once again, my first 0-100 charge was 3hrs30min hrs at this moment this value is between 2.40 - 3.00
Maybe different devices have different charging times dont know, i can say im not only one, here's prove

well, dont know f it makes a difference but im on the 32gb and only got it a week ago.... but yeah 2-3 hrs and im charged, might change over a few cycles.

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.

How long does your s4 take to charge?

Hey, I don't know if this was covered already, but how long does your phone take to charge from 0 to 100. Mine usually takes 2hrs- 2hrs 5 mins but a couple of my friends say their s4s take like 1hr 45 mins...
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app

I never let it drop past 10% but it only takes an hour (Aprrox) to get to 100% from 15%.

Wow thats quick! What I've realized is it basically charges 1% a minute until it reach about 90% then it takes around a half hour to go from 90-100. This is what happens with my device...

I still dont think the S4 Battery is good enough either... I am going for Mugen Batteries - they have just release 2750mAh for pre-order but I am waiting to see what they bring out for the XL size

You guys have to remember that the NFC chip is embedded into the battery. So if you are going to replace it make sure it comes with the chip.

Its better than the s3 but I have to agree... I'm waiting on zero lemon. I had their 2300mah battery for the s3 and got around 6 hours screen time regularly...the s4 give me about 4 1/2 hrs screen time with around 10-11 hours on...which is about 2-3hrs less than I need. Maybe the mugen will give it the extra boost it needs

People should mention which variant they have. I guess the ones saying that it charges in 1h - 1h20min have the S600 variant with qualcomm's quick charge.

The stock charger is 2mA output and my s4 600 version takes 2 hours 10 mins from 1/5% to full. S3 charger is only 1mA. And the quad core qualcomm 600 should charge faster than exynos version cause its have a quick charge built in to most of the 600 cpu's except the htc one. Bet exynos takes 3 hours

2 hours 5-100% i9500 here.

One question:
I have the S4 I9500.
I use here at home my wife's S2 charger which is 0,7mA and sometimes I use S3 charger/data cable which is 1mA.
At work or other places normally I use the S3 charger/data cable.
The S4 charger is unused at box because I don't like the white color (mainly the cable, because it gets dirty so fast).
I tried the S4 charger with S3 data cable and the thing is charging reaaaaally fast.
I don't mind using the S4 white charger, so, are there any problems using the S4 charger with S3 data cable?

No problem at all

[Q] What charger to get?

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

Whilst there are an increasing number of car chargers up to 2.5A now, I used an iPad one with success in the past.

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?

I too use navigation and browser a lot while on road. My Galaxy Note2 was having pretty good battery life compared to Note 3 now. To survive, I got a 12,000 mh iNova power bank. Does a good job to survive.
