Hello Experts,
I received a new nexus 4 and noticed that it takes around 3.5 to 4 hrs for complete charging from 5% to 100%.... is it normal? my other sony xperia seems to be charge in about 1..5 hr
since i am new to Nexus 4, not sure what is the avg charge time and should i call for RMA? Please let me know what is the avg time for charging.
thx

Perfectly normal. You want a nice slow steady charge, especially in a sealed phone. The battery needs to last as long as possible. Fast charging batteries significantly reduces their lifespan. My old Nexus S takes the same amount of time to charge from 5%.. 3-4hrs or so give or take.. I still have the two year old original battery and it holds a charge just as well as it did the day I bought it. Meanwhile my 15 minute charge AA batteries I bought last year lose their charge in a week just sitting on the desk.
Mine is just about the same, but that's under use. If I don't touch the phone, it typically charges to 100% in about an hour.
And if it's through USB.. um.. more like 8 hours to fully charge.
Battery widget reborn (awesome app btw) says my phone usually charges in about 2.5 hours. This is on Qi though not sure about the regular wall charger.
2-2.5 hours for me on usb wall charger and Qi Orb.

From 2 hr 45 min (from around 12-15% juice left), my charge time has reached to 3 hr 30 mins now (i.e. from 1% juice left)... 14% juice wouldn't make such a huge difference so don't really know why it increased..

yes, this is one of the reasons i started this thread to understand what everyone is experiencing.... i called up the google customer support and they are ready to send in a RMA as it appears to be a higher side...
so let me know your thoughts guys...should 3.5 hrs charge time considered high and warrant a RMA? share your thoughts.
^ Hmmm.. I doubt if this would mean anything serious or worth RMA-ing. I can but I won't RMA my device because it's been exceptional so far. I am fairly happy with it and wouldn't want to get it replaced with a defected one.
Its perfectly normal especially from around 5% to 100%.. In my experience if you dont let it get below 20% it usually charges faster. I wouldnt RMA it especially if your phone is perfectly fine in other aspects.
I tried with a different charger yesterday and it took similar time. The charger has same voltage input levels.
You charge 3 hours, for only double the lifetime. How pathetic, actually. I didn't thought that the battery life would be that bad. I can hardly make trough 1 day, if I play some games, make some calls, and use a little bit of internet. On the last charge I got 4Hours of screen on time with 15% left.
Gosh, at least it's fun to use it. :/
I thought the charge time would be long. This morning in class my battery dipped down to 12% as the class was wrapping up. I got back home around between (9:50 and 10am) and started charging my note 2014 while it was powered off. In ~2.5 hours I'm around 55-60%. Personally I don't think this is too bad at all.
What have your experiences been like so far?
Update. I just unplugged it and I'm at 91%. This thing charges much faster than I thought. What were the conditions in which reviewers said it was 7+ hours?
Update: I'm also interested in how long the charge tends to last for you.
mine was ~2.25 hrs from 20% to 80% then ~1.5hrs for 80%100%. the fast charge cycle is pretty decent, it's that last 20% trickle that can feel like it's dragging on. bmw pro says 4:14 for a full 0-100% charge which seems to be in line with my results.
I put mine on the charger at 5% before going to bed. When I got up 5 hours later it was fully charged. Not sure when it reached full charge but definitely less than 5 hours.
From 5% to 100% in 4hours en 45 minutes.At 5% screen on time of 7 hours en 24 minutes!

This occurs with mine as well. It's that 80-100% that takes a while but when I charge it anywhere before that it's pretty fast. Probably helps with the long term battery life. Which I'm fine with.
I'm thinking that review got a bad battery. This happened with my first GN10.1 when it took forever to charge after using it the first weekend.
I swapped it out and the new one charged fairly quickly (considering). This new tablet seems to be just a little longer to charge but not 7 hours.
This has been about my experience too. I was really worried before because a lot of reviews said this tablet takes forever to charge to full. Glad to see that smart-charging mitigates this almost completely since an 80% charge easily gets me through a full day of moderate use.
Mine has been 4.5-5 hours, which is AWESOME!
People expect it to charge as fast as their phone need to realize the battery is much larger! I have had the same experience with a new, bad battery taking longer to charge as well though.
The 1st picture attached is my charge time for one night so far. Using the System Monitor app. Really digging that app. You can even have floating windows that stay on top as you run things.

my charge times are about 4 hours from 5% to 100 with screen on and energy saver, with it off, i go from 5% to 1005 in about 3 hours
As pleasant a surprise the charge time was I must admit that the charge tends to go pretty quickly. I'll post back with specifics when I get a chance to properly mark the times and usage.
To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Note5 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Phone isint charging past 1000 mA on stock cable. However using one from PS4 is giving full 1800-2000 mA! Did I get a faulty cable by any chance ? N920C
This is the fastest charging phone ever! During the days where I use the phone heavily, it will drop to about 15-20% around 4 PM, my day starts at 5 AM. That's when I unplug my phone also. So great battery life for me. It will charge from 10% to 100% in about 1 hr or just slightly more. Can't complain about it, it a great feature.
lol just plug my phone in, went to starbucks come back at 80% from 39% in around 30-40 min
I got the phone down to 1% and it took 1 hour 36 mins to charge to 100%

Just switch the cable, had that problem.
The cable that i got with the phone is garbage, any other one will do the trick.
Charges as fast or faster than my S6 did, which is awesome since the battery is bigger. IF I use it heavily throughout the day and get it below 50% I'll throw it on the fast charger (wired) while doing dishes or something and I get almost 2%/min. 10 minutes will get me almost 20% more battery and I'm golden for the rest of the day with heavy use (CoC attacks all night lol)

Wireless Fast Charger
Got 2 wireless chargers. 1 from Costco when i got the note 5 and the other when i activated samsung pay. Sold them both for 20 each and bought the fast charger. Less sensitive when looking for that "sweet spot" and seems to charge just as fast as factory cable. About an hour and twenty minutes to charge fully. Battery lasts pretty good on stock even before using package disabler pro.
A little over an hour here for me for a full charge.
charging speed is very fast. from 20% in just few minutes charged goes up to 50%. from drained battery to full charge takes about 1 hour and 20 mins. looking for suggestions for good power bank with wireless charging capability for this phone.
awesome speed
Deep sleep issue
1 hour 13 min

The Pleson wireless fast charge that I bought on Amazon for 18 dollars charges my phone in a little less than 75 minutes from 5% to 100%.. The phone does get a little hot though.
You guys talk about charging time while Fast Charge features enabled.
How about normal charge ?
I was disabled fast charge feature and tried to plug my phone to my charge. It took me more than 4 hours to fully charged from 15% of battery.
why waste time with regular charging when it takes 1hr 11 min to 100% from 15%....charging with phone off.
if you charge while on the phone is on & continually updating social media, email, stocks/bonds/financial, it'll take a long time, if you ever see 100%.
I don't fully deplete my battery anymore, since it's not replaceable. When I had the note 3 with another spare battery and usb 3.0 wire charger I got it down it like 10% than charge. Life is a little different on the note 5. I have to charge my phone while at work, at least once a day sometimes 2 times if I'm heavily using my phone. Just the combination of bad 3g service here at work and Really good 4G LTE service, in certain areas, brings my battery performance down. But no problem, I have fast wired charger, from 20% to 100% in about 1 hour and 10 mins while the phone is on and even faster with the phone off. At home, I have fast wireless charger which I use, right before I sleep when I don't need a fast charge. A little slower than the fast wired charger, but 20% to 100% in 1 hour and 30 mins. I also have a non fast wireless charger but it's sort of useless. It only works will with my brother's s6 and now his s7.
How long does it take for you to fully charge your S7 edge from say about 5 or 10%?
Mine is saying 1hr 30 mins and my battery currently on 10%.. is that about right? Im using like a 10ft cable though but its still coming up as fast charging.
It is about the right time for fast charge. Mine takes about 1 hour 20 mins from 30%
1h40 from 5%
Remember that fast charging gradually slows down as the battery gets closer to fully charged, to keep the battery from overheating. The first 50% will go much faster than the second 50%.
Is anyone experiencing slow charging?
After installation, My device charging slowly relative to the previous one.
I am using the same charger and the cable.
Please let me know how can I fix this issue?
Could I go back Oreo?
it takes 1 minute to charge 1%
*sorry for my bad English
1% in 1 minute is fast charging, it takes about 100 minutes to charge 100%, so 1 hour and 40 minutes, that's also the time it took in oreo to charge with fast charging!
-But still, if you want to go to Oreo there is a guide here in xda, search for it!

Exactly. Charging time is exactly the same as in Oreo. People complain for no reason. ?

Thats not how charging works... When the battery is almost full, the power required to fill the battery increases, so the charge slows down. The time between 0% and 10% is less than the time between 90% and 100%. Charging takes faster when the battery is empty, but slows down as it fills up.

It's because of more features. More feature using more battery and getting hard to charge it.
