it takes ages to charge up the battery is this good or bad?
Use the charger provided by Samsung... suffice to say, the Note comes with a sizeable battery..twice the size of most phones and so if you use the battery it needs to be recharged
But what's your definition of ages to charge?

It takes a minimum of 3.5 hrs to charge from 0-100%.

3.5h at least. If you charge through usb, then it may take considerably more.

If you charge it with a PC via USB, even with the battery at 100% it will last considerable less than with the original Samsung charger..

The stock charger is terrible.
Takes too long to charge. I swear my iPad takes less time to fully charge.
I use Hyperion 2600ma batteries. Got two with a charger for around $20. They charge fast with the included wall charger

I use a Stock charger at home and a HTC Titan charger at work, both seem to work pretty well.
PC or Car charger will take _forever_ to charge, and in fact if I'm using Navigation in the car, the battery will discharge faster than the car can charge it. (this really blows..)
Can take a few hours to fully charge with the samsung lead from note to power. Never seems to get fully charged in the car - well maybe in 4 to 5 hrs. But the battery last long and so can't really complain.
what's goes up goes down
Hi guys, I received my Nexus this Monday and I'm loving it but I noticed something weird today.
So last night put my phone on charge at around 17% and used it for about 30mins.i checked how much it had charged via the battery indicator in the notification bar and it still showed only 17% even though the battery bar had the thunder bolt through it.
Ok so the phone has been on charge all night, approx 8 hours. To my surprise its only 67% now! Still showing the charging battery icon. I don't understand what is going on?
Can anyone tell me what's up?
I'm currently still using my HTC Desire HD charger.
Thanks

are you charging on your pc/laptop or through a wall charger?

I think the problem was my usb extention! Bummer, now I gotta deal with a short wire till I find a longer one. I'll report back if the problem persists

R: Weird battery charging.....
I had a similar issue tonight.
I plugged in the usb cable with 9% of battery left (stock charger),and the
battery icon became instantly 100% (full charge!) in about 4 seconds...:what:
So i left it in charge for all night,and an hour ago (6:15),it was showing 78% (???).
I have never experienced something like this before...

This has been reported more often. It's pretty odd, seems something in the battery controllers goes a bit nuts. I hope it's simply a software/firmware thing.
My N4 hasn't displayed this behaviour over the month that I've had it for.
Gotta say I haven't experienced this yet but thanks for your post

Stock charger sucks, It has deep problems. I noticed last night, I connected the charger and under settings/battery it showed as USB charging. Using franco kernel app, I forced fast charge, woke up like 4 am and phone charged 5% (4 hours later). I unplugged, disable fast charge and now it charges fast as a regular standard charger.
I was using my old blackberry charger, since stock is really bad, it's being blamed even to the red light of death... I don't know..

I've searched for some infos,and found this:http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_polymer_battery
Look at the "Charging" section.

Just as an update, my phone has been charging pretty well since I removed the usb extention cable. I have invested in a 2 meter length micro usb cable and hopefully that will deal with my need for a longer cable and not hinder my night time charging. I'll let you guys know how it goes
Thanks neo for your research....

Same hapend to me, when phone got discharged, dead instantainly...
So i RMA..
I too decided to try a usb extension as the wire was too short for me..
Since ive started using the extension by battery or battery reporting has really been weird.
Sometimes itll say USB charging although it is still through AC
It will take like 6 hours to charge
And battery reporting and discharging will be completely off

Yesterday I had the Nexus (with 30% battery left) connected to my pc's usb to charge it,after 5 seconds,it shows "Full charge"...:what:
So i decided to left it connected...and after 10 minutes,all returned normal,charging became normal starting from 35%...
Weird,but I think all this is normal,cause of the Li-po battery nature.

This has been happening to me and unplugging it and plugging it back in usually fixes it.

One of the strangest charging profile I've seen.
That is weird. Miscalibrated battery, maybe? Try a full discharge, then recharge.

I'd never recommend a full discharge for an li-ion battery

It's not recommended to do often, but discharging has been known to solve issues with improper calibration.
Besides, you can't tell me you've never used your shiny Nexus 4 to 0% before ;P

Did you restart your phone while it was charging? I've seen strange dips and spikes in the battery graph on my Nexus S when rebooting while its charging. I haven't seen anything like your graph on my N4 yet but I don't check the graph much plus I've only had the phone about a week and a half.
Hey guys this is the first problem ive faced in Note 4 so far.I know there is fast charging option available but it will degrade battery life so ive unchecked it.On the normal mode the charging is very slow it is like 0-100% in 2-2.5 hours with everything like mobile data,wifi,nfc turned off.It is even slow than my Note 3.Any body facing the similar problem?Should I activate fast charging?

You don't have any problem, same here, 2 hours until full charge with the fast charging off. 1 hour or so with fast charging on. I have it now set on fast charging. Does fast charging mode really degrade the battery life?
I dont think so, Samsung would never enable and advertise it if it have any negative impact on battery life.
The only question here should be if phone drain battery faster if it was charged over quick charge.
Personally I turned off Quick/Fast charging as almost no need for that in my case.

So far my battery on my SGN 910F was good. I'm on official 6.0.1 version and phone wasn't rooted. Suddenly few days ago even when my phone was on a wall charger, battery discharge faster than charge when screen is on - battery percentage dropping when screen is on, no metter that phone is plugged int wall charger. Any suggestions?
Thx!

Could be a software glitch. Try performing a hard factory reset on your device.
Thanks for the tip, but I did factory reset just ten days ago. Everything was fine for a while and after 5-6 days I noticed that battery darining is faster than charging with screen on. I'm always using original wall charger. I try to disable fast charge and re-enable but still nothing...
