slow charge

So far been lucky with my nexus but one thing that disappoints me is the slow charging .
On a fully drained bat it takes 5 hours to charge with stock charger.
Is this normal for the nexus ? When I opened it out the box I let the bat fully drain before charging, and its taken this long to charge every time.

Is not recommended to drain your battery completely to zero. Google also recommends to charge your battery fully when you first boot up your device. Many don't read the instructions that came with their box. Also if you do a bit of research you would have notice that your concerns have been asked and answered on other threads on here. And my last advice, plug you nexus 10 before bedtime that way is nice and full when you wake up. Problem solved.

I had mine off and charged overnight, woke up to 40% battery life.

5 to 6 hours is normal for a full charge from the A/C charger on a Nexus 10.

Mine has got the same problem... I plug it in and it doesn't even load it's just stuck at 0%... + light bleed + slow gaming - Google/Samsung did not do a good job... Its seems like its just a prototype, a beta version....

[Q] Nexus 7 is suddenly very slowly charged

My 3 months old Nexus 7 initially used around 3-5 hours to fully charged which is not that fast as it should be but acceptable. I use Battery Monitoring Widget (3c) and it showed that N7 was charged at around 500-1,300 mA per hour.
However, 3 days ago, my N7 was suddenly very very slowly charged. It took more than 8 hours to fully charged from just 50%. The app shows it is now charged at around 200-300 mA per hour which may take up to 20 hours to get fully charged from 0%!!! Until then, it keep charging at this speed for more than 4-5 cycles.
I did a factory reset and the problem persist.
I don't think it is because the charger/cable since I try them with other device and have no problem.
It has nothing to do with Android version since my N7 is never rooted and has been update to 4.2.1 since it came out.
I am thinking of sending it to service center. but I am very curious why it can happen.
Any idea why???

Could be some dust or lint in the micro-usb port, or the battery connector not fully seated. Both easily remedied.

I have noticed it charges slower when Daydream is enabled. Also charging from usb ports or from the non asus charger will be slower. I have a third party dock also and I noticed despite charging, if streaming music, the nexus 7 will only charge 4-5% in 2-3 hours.
Were you using the Asus charger or another charger? Were there apps running in the background you were not aware of?

Hi! I've recently experienced this. I've been using my 32GB N7 for 2 months now and everything works great. Until recently that I noticed that it charged so slowly. I plugged it last time for about 2 hours from 45% and when I got back it was still at 55%!!! I was shocked and worried. I thought maybe it was the charger, but I tried different chargers and even the one came with it, it still charges very slow. The last changes I did (but not sure if it contributed) was I changed the date and time on the settings several times in a day. Now I'm tempted to hard reset it but realized that it doesn't support mem card expansion.
Anyway, sir TS, have you solved this problem already?

charge times?

i ran the battery dead and put the phone on charge from 11.30pm when i went to bed at 1.40am it was only 85ish% charged =\

It takes me about 2.5 hours to 3 hours for fully charged. It depends on amperage/voltage.

yeah. mine took about 3 hours++ as well. Initially, i got enabled the Live wallpaper, it took me ages (nearly 5-6 hours) to get 100%. The live wallpaper also draining my battery super fast. So i got fed up and disable the live wallpaper, it seems charging time is shorter and battery life is dramatically increase from 14 hours to 20 hours++.

takes me about 3 hours to charge wired, and about 3.5-4 hours to fully charge on Qi

Battery sloooooowly charging

I have a none rooted Nexus 10. Just recently updated it to 5.0.1 from 4.4.4. Ever since the update the battery barely chargers. For example, last night the battery was completely dead, so I threw it on the charger. After about 6 hours of charging, it went from 0% to 29%. I know that the charger itself is fine, I used to use it as my charger for my Nexus 5 and it never slow charged it like this. Could this be an issue from the update? I've attached a pic of the battery status.

Just an update, since I first posted, the tablet has been plugged in charging. Reached a high of 33% and is now DOWN to 26%. What could possibly be going on ?

I got the same problem... Slow change.. Any idea?

Hi,
I had a similar issue recently. All I did was use another cable with the stock wall charger. I was using stock cable + stock charger and had these problems, then I picked up my Kindle cable and put on the charger and it was fine again.
Battery had an estimative of 7-9 hours to charge got down to 4-5h.
All the best,
~Lord

Please Help moto x play huge battery issue

I used samsung fast charger for 4 months and battery life was all good , then i lost the charger so i had to charge the phone with a "not so fast charger" that took ages to charge my phone.
Never charged to 80% , and battery drain was serious.
That's when i got worried that the charger ive been using might have destroyed my battery.
So bought the "turbopower 15" charger for my MXP and at first it heated up my battery more then 60* (serious overheating issue)
After 2 or 3 charges i figured it only heats up after the percentage is 50% or higher or when i use it while charging.
And now it drain my battery like crazy!,
I just restarted my device into recovery right now and it was 45% but by the time i booted up to recovery it said 25%. How CRAZY DRAINAGE IS THAT??, Please devs help me.
Its like i dont need a stopwatch my battery drain a percent per second.
Im using purenexus 7.1.2 by @GtrCraft witb stock kernal

try going back to stock rom, if the problem persists that means the battery is bad

I was just using stock rom but the battery drain was still the same. I dunno if ive messed up the battery because of the "not orignal" chargers or whatever the reason is. I think the battery is now done for. I think Im just gonna sell this phone

I use tronsmart 3.0 turbo charger (backward capability for quick charge 2.0 devices). Battery life is good. I charge it when it hits 15-30%.
