Hi, i want an advice for my problem regards to this phone. When i buy this phone, for my first battery charge i use the option fast charge and by battery has been complete charge in 1 hour and 30 minutes. I decided to turn off this feature and to try standard charge, but the time for the complete charge of battery was 9 hours. I consider that is much, why i have this time using standard charge? My charge adaptor suppose that cover this two option: fast charge and standard charge.
Please any advice is appreciated.

Hello mate. I always use fast charge but sometimes it takes long and sometimes its quicker. I don't know why.
Did you post this on the forum?

HI, I'm going to receive my phone this afternoon..just confirmed by DHL Malaysia.
can I know how many hours you guys charged your SGS2 for first time battery charge.
Is it necessary to charge 8 hours for first time use?
Please share your experiences
for my past phone , nexus 1 and nexus s, I charged 8 hours for first time use and 8 hours for my extended batteries as well..
from my understanding, you don't need a extra long first charge for Li-ion batteries, you only need to prevent overcharge/overdischarge which is taken care of by the battery protection circuits.
In other words, turn on and start using it like normal
Just plug it in, charge it. When it's full unplug it.
Took me 1h to charge it up from half. Battery came with half charge.
Thanks mates, I'm charging the phone now
until it's full, I will unplug..
Try to run it through a few full cycles when you first get it though...
do u mean it has to be drain out before next charging?
I think it's a good idea to go from 0 to 100 in the beginning. Not for the battery sake more for the phone to learn what max and min are.
in the guide u from samsung it says charge battery before use but it dont tell you how long? is it important to charge battery before use? Some say u have to charge it for 8 hours some say 3 and some say u can use it right away?
could i please get some help?

MODS: We need a battery sticky in every forum
Lithium batteries - 90% of them usually charge in about 3 hours with proper chargers. It has a chip inside that will switch off charging once 100% capacity is achieved, and will notify you. No need to keep the phone plugged in for 8 hours if you receive the message "charging completed, disconnect charger".
You may choose to charge right away, or use the phone until the factory charge depletes. With Lithium batts it does not really matter much.

many thanks sir !!
Hi all im about to pick up a n7 and join the club ..
But i'd like to know the first time charging pattern ? If i remember right i have to fully discharge to 0% and then overnight charge ?
Oh and while were at it how long one full charge takes ?
Thanks.

With the new lipo batteries you should AVOID full discharges. Instead, charge the device to 100% before using, discharge to about 5%, turn off, then charge to full while off. That should condition and calibrate the battery effectively.
Also, a charge takes roughly three hours to full for me.

Manufacture doesn't recommend full discharge, they just recommend a full charge before it is completely discharged. What I did was discharged through use to about 30% (out of box it was 55%) then did a full charge.
As far as how long it takes charge, it really does depend on your power. Every house and every location get its power differently really. It also depends if you are using the stock provided charger as you're supposed to, if you're using usb from the computer, whether you are going through a power converter/ u p s or even if you are using a non standard power output to usb. On know my full charge was about 2.5 hrs from the 30 percent to 100 percent, using the stock charger to outlet through uninterruptible power supply which has a built in power converter/balancer because my electricity is crap ( unincorporated area, old house, old wiring ).
Really though you don't have to worry too much about lithium ion batteries. You really don't want to give it a complete discharge, based on the existing evidence. Apparently this causes a relatively significant shock to the actual chemicals the power the battery. However many people say you do not want to completely charge the battery either, but most battery service management programs, the actual firmware that keeps the batteries going, will stop a charge at 99 percent tell you it is 100 percent and no longer charge above that for this specific reason.
if you look around to the community, many people recommend that you fully discharge battery, after using a program like battery calibration https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration and then charge fully to 100 percent anytime you change ROM so the same could be said with a brand new stock unit. Also let's be honest, your device is going to last 2 maybe 3 years. How much damage can you really do but discharging in a few times in the time? also the batteries aren't all that expensive so even if it does significant damage it is still repairable?

Thanks guys and to be specific for the charging time part i will be using stock charger and not usb so just a quick recap charge to 100% discharge to 5% and recharge to full ?
And if it takes me 4 hours id be satisfied because my sensation that has 1900mah takes about that much time and the n7 is more then double of it ..
Can't wait to pickup this beast hope ill get a perfect unit

Use it to 5 percent charge, then recharge to 100 percent

Just reiceved my N7 today. It only had about 5% charge. I've had it on the charger for 5 hours and its only at 75%. This doesn't seem normal.
Hi guys. I got my own M3 device and have quite long time for charging from 1% to 100%. - 3 h 55 min (~3 h to 95% and 50 min from 95 to 100%). Are you have the same and this is a payment for a long battery life, or maybe it should be quicker? Tell me please about your experience.
You must have a problem with your charging plug, or maybe your using another charger that didn't come with your device. I only see slow charging time when I don't use the charging cable and plug that came with the device.

Usung everything brand new from the device box. So, such time is abnormal? Can anyone confirm?
UPD: But you gave me an idea. Connected it to XIAOMI's Quick Charge and time decreased to less than 3 hours.
Just got my OP5 in hand, how long does it need to charge the phone for the very 1st time? As Dash charge can charge the phone to 100% in 30min, do I still need to keep the phone on charge for an extended period of time like b4? Cheers
Hi,
Dash charge can not charge the phone to 100% in 30min
In 30 min you can charge between 40% and 60% depending on what is running on your phone :

Thx. Havent tried it. So for the very first time, for previous phones I let it charge for a few hours b4 actually used them. I should do the same right? As the battery is with the same structure. Cheers

I set mine up then put it on charge, was on 44% and then was at 96 about 35 minutes later

Hey,
I don't know definitively but I don't think so. I think battery technology in this respect has moved a long way so you don't have to charge it to full before you first use it, nevermind charging it to full and then over charging for multiple hours.
In fact, phones these days cut off charging and then trickle charge when the battery is full to maintain charge but not try and charge an already full battery thus causing damage.
Bottom line is I would suggest you wait till it gets to 100% before using it but don't need to wait any longer after that.

With modern Lithium ION/POL batteries this is no longer a requirement. In fact the hardware will make it stop from overcharging or it could become a hazard. In fact, Li-ION batteries are best kept between 20% and 80% for longevity. if you plan to store Lithium batteries store them at around 50% charge. so your old phone keep it stored at around 50%. this is also how all laptops and phones are shipped these days. They are shipped with approximately 50% battery charge for any hazard and also for longevity should it have to be stored for a long period of time.
