[Q] How much time it takes to charge N4?

Using the provided AC charger in the box.

Well depends from how dead the phone is. My phone completely died, and it took about 3 hours I think to get somewhere over 50%

There's no way any phone or device on the planet takes 3hrs to get to 50%
I'd wait for another response

I believe it takes 3 hours to charge from dead to full according to Anandtech.

Thats sucks majorly as well. :S
Da **** is wrong with google? I thought the nexus S and galaxy nexus were slow charging due to them being samsung phones. This is total deal breaker for me. My friends optimus 2X charges in around 45 minutes, the 2100mah battery does not justify taking more than 3x the time.

Eh?
My ONE X takes 2.5-3hrs from dead, and its 1800mah
3hrs is as expected.

The GS3 charges in less than 2hours so obviously the one X has a messed up charging time as well.

I'll test mine speciifcally for this later but i'm fairly confident most of these posters are crazy, from what i've noticed I'm generally full in like 2 hours.

I'll be waiting.

3 hours is totally normal... I never had a android phone that charges under 3 hours... I wouldn't worry about it.
Maybe the nexus 7 charger will charge it a little faster since it uses 2a instead of 1a?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

looks like people who are having charging issues (me included), the charger provided by LG is defective.
I've been charging mine through the wall charger and it says (USB)... it should say AC.. i changed to a samsung charger and now it says AC.
USB charging is really slow due to low amperage compared to wall charging.
The poster who mentioned 3hrs for 50% from a completely dead phone sounds about right for USB charging.

Quick question guys from zero to full how long is it taking to charge you're N10?

From my week or so with the device, it's been taking around 5-6 hours for a full charge.
I heard they were releasing a high-voltage Pogo Pin charger soon though, hopefully this will bump the charge time down to 2 or 3 hours

You're welcome my friend. But yeah 6 hours is quite a long time, mostly because they used a micro USB port to charge the device and it doesn't carry much power quickly. I'm looking forward to the pogo charger though

Personally, I haven't timed it as I charge my devices overnight. However, there are a few things to note.
The official Nexus 10 charger is 10W. Most other "phone" chargers are 5W. The device will charge on a 5W charger but very slowly.
Also, if the device is plugged into the official charger and is being used as it's charging, it will charge very slowly. If you are using a 5W charger, the device will actually discharge if you use it while it's plugged in.
The moral of the story: for best performance, use the official charger. I look forward to seeing the magnetic charger on the market.

How long does it take to full charge your phone?

Im on stock 4.2.2 with Matr1x kernal...mine takes too damn long
This isnt a new device so not the first run obviously... And had this problem on full stock aswell...using the original LG charger.
Takes around 5+ hours to full charge from 25% to 100%
Its not a biggie since i plug this is in before going to sleep and by the time i wake up in the morning (around 7 hours ) its fully charged...but i just want to know is it a hardware problem only in mine?? Or a common issue??

next time you charge, go to the phones main settings, about phone, status.. check if its connecting/charging as usb or ac. usb takes longer to fully charge than ac.

It says "Charging (AC)" how long does it take yours??
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

about 3+ hours on the wall charger i guess, 5+ hours if i was plugged into my laptop. try another charger with the right amperage. or try another usb chord with that charger.

Mines about 2 hours wall 3 hours USB...

It only takes 3 to 4 hours to charge my phone by using the original LG charger.

around 2-3 hrs with wall charger and 6-7 hrs with USB.

3 to 4 hours charging from the wall and about 6 charging from USB. I'd suggest swapping out the charger your using and see if that makes a difference.

3.3 hours from under 20% to 100

Seems like it varies device by device... My cousin's nex 4 takes around 5 hours...
And i think ROM and the kernal has nothing to do with it
Bdw im so glad to see such a helpful community here...never expected it

The LG original charger that came with the phone kept randomly ticking from AC to permanent USB charging on the wall. I switched chargers and it stays on AC now.

there's been a few issues with the stock charger, some are inferior to others, I charge mine while I sleep, but my old lg charger is alot better, same with iphone charger

Mine takes more than 3 hours on wall charing

Wall charging: 2h20m from 8% to full of course.

You must have a magical charger. Mine charges in about 2 hours with the stock charger at 1800 mah rate (max stock rate).

Mine charges faster than my Note 2 but not that fast. In general I am happy with the improvements seen.

It's strange that yours charges so fast? Most of the stuff I've read so far for charging with the stock N3 wall charger is that they're charging at around 35%/hr
How's yours doing so fast??

1 to 100 took me 2hrs and 15 minutes charging time.. but after 10 minutes idle of the phone, the battery went down to 98percent and stop there

I would have to say this is defiantly a understated feature of this phone! I mean it charges soooo much faster than the N2 did! Faster than any phone I have ever had! Amazing!

I have the same experience as the OP.. The phone charges pretty fast if your using the stock charger and cable

Mines charges under an hour from 10% down to fully charged especially if you don't use the phone while it's charging and even then my phone does the job. I'm pretty sure it varies phone to phone so take this with a grain of salt.

Yep. This phone charges quickly!
Plugged it in at 55% and it got to 88% in 30 minutes.

Can the note 3 battery be used in the note 2 and i717
i'm asking because i tried the s3 into my note an it worked perfectly I was wondering if I can buy an oem battery an for the note 3 an put it in my note 1

its possible

I have the same experience as OP. We need some hard data on this. What's the best app for monitoring charging? I use system monitor. I love the battery graph in my pull down menu. I'll post a screen shot from a full charge whenever I get a chance. (I have 87% now so it'll be awhile unless I find something good to download on thepiratebay)

Weird, I thought it was the same for everyone. Mines the same, phones on but with no use it charges to full battery under an hour when it's on red. I work at best buy mobile and customers have told me the same.

Extremely slow charging

Hi guys. I'm currently facing a huge problem which is very very slow charging rate. Last time it charged slowly and i tighten the usb port on the n7, thank God the problem solved. But now, even if i did that, it won't solve the problem. Now it took me more than 12 hours to charge from 5% to 95%. Please guys, help me. I couldn't wait for that long to fully charged. Is there anyway make it fast charging? My N7 just 10 months old and i am not so heavy user. thanks in advance.

are you using the charger that came with Nexus 7?
If so, try with some other charger and even if that didnt help, then there's some problem with the battery.
In case you had changed the charger, it will be slow as the output voltage of Nexus 7 charger is high compared to that of other devices.

What is the voltage output of the chargerv
