Charges slooooow

So I am at a friend's house for a few days. For some reason my phone charges really slow here. I am using a aftermarket charger that works well at my house.
I put it on the charger at 9:30pm with 22% and woke up around 3am with 81%. I have incredikernel so it should charge fast... What's wrong?

depending on the charger it could output a very low voltage and making it take long to charge

Same charger works great at home.
Output: 4.5-9.5v

Did you enable fast charge?

He shouldn't need to do that for 2 reasons. 1. Fast charge is only on for USB, not AC/wall charging. 2. His phone only went up 60% in about 6 hours. Even on the stock rom and stock kernel, a FULL charge shouldn't take more than 4 hours. There is something wrong with the charger/the outlet/your friend's house.

I usually turn mine off in the evening while i eat and shower and it rockets to 100% in about an hour or so.
Maybe if you have a good hour or so that you know you wont be able to be reached on the phone, you can try that out.

No kidding? I'm pretty sure that chad's incredikernel charges a heck of a lot faster than stock even off the wall.

It does. His point was that the FastCharge feature only speeds up USB (and some car chargers). Wall charging was already "fast" and can't be made faster by that feature.

Stock battery 1,300mAh... divided by 4.... 325mA... yep - I agree: any charger/ROM/kernel combo should easily be able to achieve a charging current of 325mA
OP's battery only increased 59% in 5.5 hours. Assuming a stock battery, that would be a charge rate of less than 140mA. That is flat out awful.

Agreed.
If the problem continues at other locations, I'd look to the charger first, then the battery second.
If the problem is resolved by charging at a new location, then the friend has some messed up wiring.

Another thought: is there any chance that the outlet you were using was connected to a wall switch somewhere? My thought is that maybe you plugged it in, it was charging, and then someone flipped the wall switch at some point.
Do your battery stats confirm that it was actually charging all night?

Keep in mind guys it's not always a good thing for a lithium ion battery to charge too quickly

True, but no one here is talking about charging the phone in a few minutes. No one has even come close to mentioning dangerous charging speeds.
The charge rate of a typical consumer Li-ion battery is between 0.5 and 1C in Stage 1

Source: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries
So for a stock battery of 1,300mAh, a charge rate of 0.5-1C would be 650-1,300mA
The OP's observation of 59% in 5.5 hours would be a charge rate of 0.11C
So yes, it's true to say that charging a li-ion too quickly is dangerous. But in this particular conversation, it's a moot point.
The OEM charger doesn't even put out enough current to achieve a 1C charge rate, and every aftermarket charger I've ever tried has delivered less current than the OEM charger. I'm not saying it couldn't happen, just that it's not likely.

Are you sure? I swear I remember Chad saying something about Fastcharge not working if the USB cant handle the output (which is why FastCharge is disabled by default unless you enable manually or flash Chads FastCharge Boot Enable Zip DooHickey). I would just ask him yourself, he's pretty responsive to the users of Incredikernal.
Hope this helps

Not sure what you're trying to say. I already addressed the fast charge issue in this thread.
TheWhiteBandito is correct: fast charge does not affect wall charging speed.
Yes, Chad is very responsive, but why bother asking him something that he has repeatedly explained on the forums and on his own site?

This adds fast charging over USB to a stable release along with some potential performance enhancements.
Fast charging while the phone is detected as connected to USB is turned off by default.

i never bothered with an after market charge, mainly because i use the usb cord and the USB to A/C converter that was shipped with the phone.
and you can get USB to cigarette lighter adapter at wally world for like...12 bucks.

GatorsUF,
So what was the ultimate root cause?

I'm not sure why you do this, Gator. It's not the first time. You ask for help, people offer what they can, and then you never say anything again. Is the problem resolved? We don't know. Did anyone in here offer you help? We don't know. Did you learn anything? Try anything? Even read half of the responses? We don't know.
Not only does this decrease the overall usefulness of the thread (since people have no idea whether the issue was resolved), but it discourages people from offering you help in the future.
"Oh look, Gator's got another problem. Eh.... I would respond... but that guy never even gets back to his own threads. I'll save my breath and move on to another topic."

Sorry
I am pretty certain it has to do with the power at the house. Not sure but I do know from working as an electrician that peoples household outlets are typically anywhere from 108v to 125v, maybe her house was on the lower end...
I had the same problem with the same charger at a hotels as well. However I am using it at home now and it charges like a champ at my house.
Could you please point out threads where I didn't respond with my result in the past, I will gladly fix those. However most of the thread I am finding include my eventual result. There is even a thread where I asked a question then made fun of myself and posted the lmgtfy.com link in the next reply, in turn giving anyone with a similar problem the answer I found.

Install battery monitor widget, it will give you the info you're looking for.

I installed that once and it showed some info about voltage coming into the phone but i wasn't sure what was good and what was bad...

Slowest Charging Phone I've Ever Used

I just got the HTC One and the phone itself is great. That being said, I have one pretty large complaint...I've never had a phone that charges slower than this in my life. Is anyone else experiencing brutally slow charging speeds? Probably take 5 minutes for it to charge 1% which means it would take over 8 hours to get to 100%. Is this really possible?

I understand the battery needs to be trained but I've purchased hundreds of mobile devices in my life. Never has even an initial charge taken anywhere close to this long.

Is this using the supplied charger? Any processes running in the background that could be keeping the phone awake using power?

I know it helped with the old nickel cadmium batteries, but I've been under the impression that conditioning doesn't do anything with today's lithium ion batteries, that they are as good as they will get right out of the box.

Charge time Is a lot less than 8 hours normally. That said, it is still a slow charging phone compared to my previous few phones. However it is not too bad to be a complaint from me. We also have to be aware that the battery is a little bigger than the previous generation of phones, so it would take longer to charge anyway.

Yes this is using the supplied charger. Did a little searching online and it seems that there are others who have this issue. It was noted in the Anantech review as well as the following quote from the Droid Life review:
On a related note, the One takes forever to fully charge. I’m not sure why that is, but no matter what charger I seemed to grab when needing some juice, I found myself checking the status of the battery meter far more often than on other phones in my possession.

My phone needs about 4h to completely charge.

From Anandtech, the rationale is that Qualcomms fast charging is disabled in an effort to preserve the integrity of the battery's longevity; since you know, its sealed and has a repairability rating of 0. The Gs4 will probably crank that fast charge up and the user can replace the batteries as often as he deems necessary.

slow charging time seems a pretty fair trade off for a slow discharging time also right?

Probably this. In the end it is for the users benefit.
I was thinking, even my note 2 don't take more than 3 hours to charge. Heck even my 6200 hyperion battery takes about 5.

You shouldn't fully discharge. And my battery with the HTC charger does not that much longer than other smartphones but agree the S3 is a little quicker to charge.

From the Anandtech review:
What’s interesting however is that the charge curve gets the One to 85–90 percent under the normal 3 or so hours, it’s that last ten percent that takes forever
Click to expand...

Maybe they designed it so that the user would be discouraged to fully charge the phone, and thus completing fewer cycles?
If it's just the last ten percent that takes such a long time, I'm not too worried about it. There are few situations during the day that I'd have to charge the phone to 100%, other than an overnight charge.

It's a pretty big batter, to start. But you're probably not getting much current to the phone. If you charge from the USB on a computer, you're hardly getting any current to the phone so it's going to charge very slowly.
The faster chargers are 2A chargers. I have a 2A car charger that came with my Nexus One car dock I've been using for a long time and it's the fastest charger I've seen out of all of them. All of my phones (and friends' phones) have charged must faster with that charger.
I have a 1.5A AC charger too. It's still not as fast as my 2A car charger, but I'm also inside at that point, so it doesn't matter. But most chargers I've seen are 1A or less. Those are slow.

It's not the battery you're conditioning. It's the battery stats on the phone. The phone needs to "get to know" the battery to accurately describe its status.

Charge time should be a tad under 4 hours on AC, so I would say something appears to be wrong. Unless of course you're doing something heavy on battery) gaming/navigation) during charging.

what scm_crash said. pick up a 2A charger if you really need juice fast, otherwise it's probably designed to simply charge overnight for longevity
I always use my nexus 7 charger (2A) when i need juice on the spot.

It's ridiculous that people here think that the HTC one is not reparable ,so HTC designed a phone that can't be open ? What if you break your screen ? So instead of repairing your screen and be charged 180 $€£ for example ,HTC will charge you 599 for a new phone cause the phone is unreparable? That's ridiculous.HTC made the phone,HTC knows how to open the phone ,HTC will put phone back together again period.

actually it's not comparable coz the volume of the battery aren't the same.
you can also check the charger's specs , a 2300mha battery charged by a 1A charger, that's approximately 2.7 hrs.
still, for the first time it took more than half an hour to charge from 99% to 100% and the LED to turn green, that was strange. probably because I deleted the battery stat file for calibration

Theoretically speaking I charge the other battery in the spare battery charging dock. So when I swap the dead battery out it only takes 30 seconds or so to have a full charge on my phone. No more tethering my phone to the wall.

I have an Anker QC 3.0 charger and last night, it charged my V20 from 6% to 100% in about 1 hour.
Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk

Measured at the wall, my OEM charger refused to charge over 2.7 WATTS - 2 point 7 - when the battery was at 15%... what the eff? Not that I care, because the charger is junk anyway, but sheesh! Makes no sense...
Also, the charge current drastically drops any time the screen is on from what I am seeing, as pictured below.
Also what makes no sense, and 2 reviewers on Amazon commented the same issue, Anker's PowerPort +1 Type C QC 3.0 charger doesn't work with this phone. I couldn't get it to go over 12 watts with the screen off even though I tried 4 different cables (Anker, i-Orange, i-Rainy, OEM Pixel XL cable). Interestingly, the Pixel XL OEM charger peaked at 19.2 watts! Really interesting actually... don't know how it's doing it, since it's USB PD, but it does have the proper voltages. It's charging the phone pretty damn quick. Even at 68%, it's pulling 14 watts right now as I type.

How do I test Quick Charge 3.0?

I just got myself a new V20 yesterday. I tried charging it with my own Quick Charge 3.0 wall charger but I'm not too sure about the charge time.
So I'm going to try again. But before I begin, I need some advice.
How do I check if it's really charging with Quick Charge 3.0? Also, the phone now is currently about 66%, how much more do I have to drain before I commence?

As much as you want. Thing to remember...QC is variable rate, the more charged you are the less fast it is. Also, official posted charge times from OEMs refer to a phone powered off typically.

Right. Powered off. Good point.
And I supposed using an app like "Ampere" is not going to work because of QC3.0's variable voltage and amps, am I correct?

Okay. Just did a little test.
Started at 5pm with 25% battery left and using my own QC3 wall charger.
Ended at 5.50pm with 91%.
That's pretty fast! And the best part, the battery stays cool despite Quick Charge.
I'm going to try charging from 0% tonight.
Edit - Oh and my phone was turned off while charging.

Just an FYI, it's not good to drain your battery to zero. It'll shorten it's life. Keeping it between 40-80% is optimal from what I've read.
Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk

Ampere app on Play Store, check it's charge current values specially when screen is off. I think it should be like between 2400 mA to 3200 mA. When screen is on , the charge current values decreases. Also with the app, you can compare the current values of QC 2.0 versus QC 3.0. Cable should't be faulty.

Ampere might not be the best way to measure current values because of the way Quick Charge 3.0 charges with variable voltage.
The few times I measured all fall below 1000mAh.

Hey fellas, not to take over the subject matter but feel like you all know batteries well. What if a 1am charger is used overnight for charging. Going with the idea that a slower charge charges the battery better and maintains a better charge all day, or is that not the case. Also is any harm done with charging with a slower charger. Thanks

I never use quick charge at work or at home, slow charging will prolong the battery life. I always start to charge at about 8-15% where possible, and disconnect the charger around 90-95%, this is the proper way to prolong litium battery.
The only time I use QC is when i'm traveling.

It is better to use a slower to prolong the longevity of the battery. You won't get more 'charge' from using a slower charge. I try to use slower chargers when I can. I usually use my Samsung 2A chargers and use my adaptive fast charging when I need quickness. The LG QC 3.0 does pretty well though. Battery doesn't get that hot but I'm quite sure it still isn't good for the longevity. Nonetheless, we have swappable batteries so I can use my AFC and LG QC 3 more often lime I do my note 4. My HTC m8 and moto x pure usually were used with 1A chargers most of the time unless I needed a super fast charge. Also, LG makes quality batteries. Probably why Samsung is switching to them until they figure out what the hell they did. Also, notice apple doesn't use quick charging technology. iPhone's battery tend to hold charges better until a out 18 Mo th period before user starts noticing appreciable decline. The peeps that put iPad chargers on iPhone's will see less longevity from their battery.

So I thought that QC3.0 was supposed to get you closer to 80% in 35 minutes, vs the 50-55 from qc2.0. So I also read that the factory charger that LG sent is a QC2.0 and not 3. So I bought a 3.0 brick and also a new usb c that is certified compliant with QC3.0. Still only got to about 40% in 30 minutes. Not sure what's going on with that. I understand longevity and all of that. However I got this phone because once my battery is shot I can just swap it. So I don't mind getting that faster time and buying a newer battery a bit early.

I was just about to go pick up a 6t but then I realized the charger is proprietary... so does that mean that none of the other fast chargers on the market can charge it quickly? That's kind of a pain in the a..
I haven't found it conclusively stated like that but can somebody clarify?

I have a tablet charger for my old Shield; it charges the 6T pretty fast. Not quite as fast as the official charger but faster than a regular small charge block.
Don't let charging blocks stop you from buying it. It is a beast, with great battery life, and it soaks up the juice quickly.

Ugh you dont get it LOL. We have had QC compat phones for years. I have at least 6 different wall chargers, QC chargers in all 3 cars, QC battery packs for each of us not to mention the cables.
By the time I am done replacing what I need I may as well buy a Pixel 3 for the price diff.

Quick charge 3.0 doesn't work for me with 6t. It charges at max 1.5A and takes significatly longer to charged compared to Dash charge. You'll have to purchase dash charger and cable for your car, if you really want fast charging.

I rarely use the fast charge. I prefer the SLOW charge. Now, I DO use fast charge maybe once a month for a quick 1/2 fill up
if I know I'm going to be away from an outlet a while.

Ok I get what you are saying, but battery life on 6T is so high that say 20 minutes of suboptimal charge from your existing QC charger will probably give the 6T the same usage time as that 20 minutes of optimally charging a Pixel.

No there is no quick charging other than OnePlus's. QC Fast Charge standards don't work, and the device will only charge at 5V speeds.

I use a Samsung charging block from a Note 9. Isn't quite as fast as the proprietary block but it still charges it pretty quickly.

Well then don't buy a cheap phone where they don't pay to use **** like QC quickcharge.
