Charging speed - Honor Play Real Life Review

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Honor Play can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Battery Backup is good / Charging is fast too.
In the battery section, Honor managed to put a 3750 mAh battery and believe me, it is enough for the device being in the price range along with providing so much of features. Its battery could easily provide a day of backup with particularly my type of regular usage (Some chit chats here and there, Two/Three hours of music playback via headphone, some camera things, regular calling and obviously games for an hour or two.
Now about charging speed of Honor play, it is very good. it can fully charge within 80-100 minutes.
~Happy to Help

To charge from 0 to 100 it takes 1 hour and 40 mins.

Battery backup is damn GOOD and charging is quick too.
I normally charge only upto 80% [i use charging alarm] and it lasts for a day+ . Discharge rate is 2%/hr if left alone with Data ON - Wifi ON.

Problem is,The company is not taking care of the accessories department. I need to buy additional charger but it's out of stock for so many days .... The charging speed in other fast chargers is good but not as good as the original charger.

Few things :
1, my play never reach 0%. It switches off at 2%.
2, I use Sony charger (from my XZ1) and from 2% to 100% is charged in 77 minutes.
3, the USB cable is also from the XZ1.
Strange for me is that I used Samsung charger (S8) and despite having stronger output(compared to Sony) it took me to fully charged the phone 118 minutes.

hi,
1. you are right it shutdown in 2%. it is because to protect battey health. most most of the phones out there will not show this % for eg; if you try to restart those phone after 0% you can see still the phone vibrates or shows battery symbol it is because it have some battery charge to protect battery , however this phone shows the 2%. .
2 and 3 . every cargers wont work for every phone(s8 however) but some of them work(xz1 however) it is because it is not capable with that phone dont check voltage power for that ... (to check ). use original charger (recomended) because it saves battey health and phone from heat and over voltage(if your phone failes over voltage protection) .

Quick Charge not working
Hi,
My COR-L29 doesn't quick charge any more. I know it's not my charger as I've tested it on another phone. I've just installed a new system update, but the problem persists. I've hit optimise in the phone manager app.
Any help would be appreciated.

It takes under 2 hours to charge from 0% to 10%

Take care of your system version, some old versions are quick charge

I don't understand your reply. The current version is quick-charge also.
I fixed it, the USB sub-board was faulty.

Change the type-C cable. It is possibly the cause of the problem. I have changed mine in such a situation and the charging is fast as it is supposed to be.
EDIT: I have seen that you have found a solution.

Battery first charge

hi
what the recommended method to charge the new battery?
1)charge few hrs till full and drain till 0% and charge again?
2)charge >10hrs?
I used to have N6288, it will auto stop charging when full.
Therefore i tend to charge my hp before i sleep and wake up in the morning to off the charger. So which is like charging for >10hrs.
Since i do not own htc before, so i'm not sure about how they charge.
lets say if battery full till 100%, will it auto stop charging?
i only afraid with my charging pattern (charging while sleeping) will make htc batt spoilt.
any advices?
thx alot

Of course it will stop. Every battery will stop charging when it will be full otherwise it would burn or explode.

i see..thx
so how long u charge the 1st time?
Before when I bough Tytn II, I charge it over 10 hours and that works well (3~4 days). Recently I bought HTC Touch Cruise09 and I only charge it for 3~5 hours (because the LED turns its color and I just remove the charger). I will see how this battery works.
How to charge a new battery... the solution. ;-)
Hi,
As erzketis says, you have an internal tools wihc switch of your charge.
I'm an electronical technician...
As the charger is a 1Aand the battery is a 1.1 Ah.
In two hour maximum it should be OK.
For me, I went to the sport and 3 hours after, it was OK.
What we usually forget to says is 2 things:
- After the first charge try to use at maximum your battery, let put it close himself (memory effect even if we says taht Lithium has a minus effct, it's a bull****). Try to reperform the same thing 5 times before going on the second tab...
- Avoid to charge you phone when it's not necessary (desactive auto charge when connected on USB). I'll says, wait till 10~0% to charge it. I know it's not prctical, but you'll have a better battery life.
I hope it will help you.

Charging Weirdness in Android

So lately I've noticed that battery life is strange on my Vogue with android. When I let it charge overnight, I take it off the charger and it instantly falls to about 97%. At about 1 PM the battery hits around 30% so I plug it in.
Here's the weird part: it's only charged for a half hour and it's reached 80% according to the meter. After another half hour it will say 100%, and stops charging. If I take it off the charger, it will instantly drop to around 77%, and lower quickly. If it says it is not charging anymore, but I know it is not full, is it really not charging? Can I just leave it on and expect it to continue charging to the real capacity?
Is this just how it is? or is there anything to be done about this? I've tried completely discharging the battery a few times, but didn't really help at all that I could tell.
Curious about everyone else's experiences
Thanks!
I think I remember reading somewhere that Android reads the temp of the batt. to figure out what % is left....
Try this.... When your batt. is low, take it out and blow on the connectors for a few minutes... See if your % rises.

Trying this now... lol
Would I have to do this every time I want to get a full charge? seems strange. Maybe this woudl explain why it charges overnight - longer period of time the battery can cool down, charge up more, cool down, charge
how long should the vogue legitimately take to charge? Seems as tho mine does well within an hour...

Perhaps my battery has just lost it's capacity - it is around 2 years old
Here's what I posted about battery issues in the thread for my Kaiser build:
Battery issues are due to the driver. It was written months ago and AFAIK hasn't been looked at since... I know it has some bugs, here are the ones I am used to:
Intermittent charging
stopping at certain percentages (like ~70%) and refusing to charge
when refusing to charge also does not detect when plugged into USB/ADB
won't fully charge
reports different battery percentage than WM
sometimes jumps instantly from ~30% to ~4%
reports connected to computer when only connected to wall charger
repeated USB-connected notifications
battery becomes hotter during charging than on WM
I should add also that sometimes when the battery dies in Android it won't charge in WM until I boot the phone in WM and unplug and replug the charger.
If I want a proper charge, I just boot WM and wait ~2 hours. Much simpler than Android.

Gah, that's too bad.
When I charge overnight, I don't have problems. It's in the middle of the day when it isn't on the charger for too long that I have issues.
Thanks for confirming the weirdness though, at least I won't bother with a new battery (yet)

Hi,
I figured out our GIONEE chargers are no better than cheap chinese ones. SO try with some other better quality charger from LG, MOTO or SAMSUNG and it will get charged.
-Dilkush
Ya I tried with samsung too... but no response... So when used other standard chargers , your mobile got charged.. The same Gionee charger and other charger is able to charge my other mobiles but this isn't

Gionee phone not charging even when connected and showing charging
Hi Everyone,
I faced the the similar issue recently, I dont know why's and how's about the cause... But, I figured out that the phone starts charging when Airplane Mode is Turned ON. I suspect it to be an Android Issue as I have read same complaints from Android users having phones of different makes.
Hope that we will get a patch or may be its fixed in the newer versions of Android.
My Android Version is 4.4.2
Hope this would be of some help to you.
Cheers!!!

my mobile is gionnee p5w it is not charging poperly the baterry doesnot take more than 3% of charge i am very worried what to do

[Q] Battery sometimes not charging/ draining on charger connected

Hello, it has been happening to me for last 2 days that when I put the phone on charger, the battery sometimes charges at an extremely slow rate (14% to 23% in 1.5 hrs), and sometimes it even discharges while the charger is connected. I am attaching the battery screen here.
You can see that first it goes down from 100 during morning to evening. This is normal behavior owing to my usage. Then I charged it and up goes the curve with a high angle because I use a good charger. This is also fine. Then I disconnect and heavily use the phone again and then put the phone on charger overnight. This is where the problem starts!
Now you see, first of all the battery starts going up then it suddenly starts dropping while still on charger. I woke up to find 23% battery after charging overnight. I noticed in the screenshot that my phone was constantly waking up all night long, may be this could have been the problem. So I connected it to charger again to see the battery level rising in front of my eyes. But again, after 3 hours I found that my battery is 51% and the curve has started to fall down again, and this time there were not enough wakeups.wakelocks.
I am using a powerful charger. It is made in china but it charges all the phones in my home perfectly. I also tried on another charger (also probably china) with the same results on my phone only.
I am using the stock rom, unrooted (can't root version 182.*.*.*)
Do you have thinks running in the background while you charge? Mines charges a lot faster if I turn off internet, kill background apps.
Also is it overheating while chsrgeing? You get a better charge if the phone stays cool
And third your phone might think the charger is a computer. I say this because mines charges really sloe when I connect it to a computer, like 12% per hour. Try a third charger, diffrent brand and wattage compared to the ones yoive tried. it might help.
yes there are background apps but there hasn't been a change which triggered this. the background have worked fine before.
no overheating issue. in fact, this device always feels cooler.
I've always used this charger, my whole family uses it without any issue but now the problem just started happening to me. and even with me the problem is not constant. I just charged up to 50% without any problem. there is one thing left to try. that is, I should try to restart in safe mode and try charging in that mode. if that works fine then it's definitely an app, otherwise the issue may be bigger.

Very slow charge

So i just installed Cyanogenmod 12.1 to my mobile. I had problems with slw charge before cm too. I have got the stock samsung charger, i have tried 2 another charger too but its the same, and multiple plugs but no change. There is nothing in my mobile ehich could cause this. Sometimes even my mobile discharge a little while its plugged. I turn off everything, wifi, sync, etc.. My charger doesnt fit very well to my mobile port, so i have to move it and fix it with something, to connect, but its working , and i can copy , paste from the mobile while connectd to pc.
Ampere says that its charging with about 60 to 120 mA.
I dont know what to do, maybe my mobile port damage, but maybe there is other sulotion.
60 to 120mA, bro that's not safe. I think you'll have to clean the connector or change it and then check the charger
What do you mean that its not safe?
Two possibilities
1)- your charger is screwed up
2)- your port is dirty (maybe)
What would be the good mA ?
Mine is from 600mA to 720mA
Wow i found out what was the problem. I used a distributive, or how you call it (transalated it ) and from that it's only charging with an avarage of 100. Now i connected diirectly to the plug, and it's charging about 600 to 700 mA. I would never think that would be the problem, becaouse i used the distributive every time, and it was working fine.
I have the same problem. First noticed the problem on CyanogenMod 12.1. Reverted back to stock, and I was getting 100% full battery. Then, after a while I noticed that my battery was bulging, so I changed it. Got a new battery, the problem is still there even on Stock ROM, this time. Got a battery App called Battery Monitor Widget, or something,,, to check my mA flow while charging and when the battery is empty I was getting 850mA, but as it was getting fuller the mA flow value was dropping. Today for example, it was fluctuating at around 70mA at 90%, and it wouldn't go higher. I removed the battery for a few minutes, then put it back in and it indicated 100% when I turned on the phone. I waited till the phone was 90% battery and plugged back the charger, and the mA flow was around 400, and at 99% it dropped down to 175mA. I don't know what causes this kind of behavior, but it's frustrating as hell.
My charger charges at 2A, and let me tell you, this thing charges pretty fast!!
