First off dash charging ,I charged to 100% before use ,used it until 63% ,then was going out so took my old phone and put the 6t on charge it took nearly an hour to get to 100%

Ever noticed that dash charge charging times are given like : 60% in 35 minutes and not 100% in x minutes? Why? To prevent damage to battery. It's around 45-50 minutes from 60% to 100% cause it steps down the amperage.

hello
just recieved my HD2 and I've drained my battery to 0%. now I was wondering how long will it take to 100% charge again.. 3 hours? 8 hours?
deiota
ps. Ive done my first 12hours charge already
With the original charger, about 2hrs if you don't use it at the same time.
yes Im using the orginal charger and the hd2 IS power off.
the stuff about charging for hours when you get it and then draining it right down no longer really applies too our batteries.that was for nickle batteries to initialise them and prevent the memory thing. with lithium ion they no longer suffer from battery memory.
ýeah it took about 2 h
2 and half ours starting from zero charge
I never did anything with the battery when i got mine!! Was way to eager to play! Never had any Battery issues.....
I did loosely time it once as i wanted to know what difference a quick charge would make and it seemed like it went up a percent approx every 3 mins... trouble is that doesn't quite equate... it would mean that from 0 - 100% would take 300mins (5hours)! but in reality it probably takes between 2-3hours..
I guess either the battery doesn't charge linearly or the percent display is inaccurate...
I Did a full charge at lunch time since it took me 1day and half till battery to drain completely,
I wonder if I should put it on charger all night long (its 10pm now and I have 80%) or should I let it out of charger...
If your battery needs charge, then charge it. There is NO NEED to completely discharge it and then charge it for sveral hours. In fact, modern li-ion batteries will take damage if _completely_ discharged!
The thing about completely discharging and charging for days is long gone! Batterys have evolved, we dont live in the 1990's anymore
i ran the battery dead and put the phone on charge from 11.30pm when i went to bed at 1.40am it was only 85ish% charged =\
i did not use the phone when it was charging, had wifi on and im running dark jelly n4 version 7 at the time
so what are the standard charge time for this phone?
i am also using lg charger that came with the phone and its plugged into the wall.

It takes me about 2.5 hours to 3 hours for fully charged. It depends on amperage/voltage.
yeah. mine took about 3 hours++ as well. Initially, i got enabled the Live wallpaper, it took me ages (nearly 5-6 hours) to get 100%. The live wallpaper also draining my battery super fast. So i got fed up and disable the live wallpaper, it seems charging time is shorter and battery life is dramatically increase from 14 hours to 20 hours++.
takes me about 3 hours to charge wired, and about 3.5-4 hours to fully charge on Qi
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.

I concur.

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. :/
Anyone have concerns about using the turbo charger?
It works great. Took a shower while charging and went from 14% to around 70%. It does however get pretty warm which I worry could adversely affect the lifespan of the battery.

Wow, how long was your shower? I went from 0% to about 15% in 15 minutes. Mine also got pretty warm, but assuming the battery does last for 48 hrs, 15% should last just under 8 hrs. We'll see how it works though.
Haha anyone look at the specs on the charger?
My old peepers need a magnifying glass but I noticed three modes with different voltages.
It goes up to 12V out at 1.2A
I don't think I will be putting this on another device. If the switcher gets confused and applies 12V to a standard 5V USB device, something very bad will most likely happen!

How long was your shower I went from 1% to %25 in 30 mins with the charger included
I noticed the phone getting a little warm while on the turbo charger as well. Also, found out last night that it does not matter what cable you use, it still does a turbo charge with any cable. Last thing I found out was that the turbo charger will turbo charge a note 4 as well and the samsung advanced charger (their version of the turbo charge) will turbo charge my phone too.

So you've observed that "motorola turbo charge" is just a rebranding of "qualcomm quick charge"....
It does heat the phone up a bit, left on charger for about ten minutes went from 45 to 65 percent in no time.

How long is it taking everyone for a full charge? Also last it went from 1% - %25 took about 30min is that normal for Turbo?
Can't put it down to charge! I'm letting it gain about ten percentage points before I unplug and play.
It does cool down rather fast.
The nylon isn't as grippy as I first thought, wasn't planning on a case but it might be in the cards, too bad because the turbo is really sexy naked!

Mine took 1 hour 55 minutes to go from 22% to 100%, with a few screen wakes in there for a couple texts that came in. It went from 22% to 44% in about 20 minutes. Mine got pretty warm, but once it hit ~75% it started cooling down, and the charge rate dropped, as it should.
In terms of being worried, a faster charge time from higher voltage is actually good for a lithium battery. The extra volts allows the charge to penetrate deeper, quicker, and more completely saturate the entire battery cell. Will this generate increased heat? Yes, of course. But the battery is going to have a thermal shut off built in to it that prevents any damage from occurring, and in general our idea of 'hot' is far bellow the batteries' idea of 'hot'.
Not too wooried
I have been charging my Droid Razr Maxx since I got it with the ASUS charger for my Nexus 7. It made a big difference in charging times for me. Before purchasing the Turbo, my battery life was still lasting 2 to 3 days with normal use. I doubt this technology is causing the battery to degrade at a fast enough rate for any of us to notice.
Looking at the turbo charger, it's not simply a high output charger like you get on some phones, such as the 2A chargers, but it outputs at almost double the voltage as well, 9V vs 5V.

Hah. I should clarify. My intent was to let it charge while I shower but I tend to get caught up watching youtube or looking at reddit before I shower. The total time on charger was 35-40 minutes.
Mine charges at about 1% per minute. I only got to charge it once though so maybe the battery needs to be calibrated or whatever.
Phone started at 50% when I purchased it. Ran with HEAVY usage until about 7:30. Put it on charger with 4% battery remaining. At ~9:15 it was fully charged. More heavy usage until ~Midnight, battery was at 60%. Woke up with 55%, drained it to 43%, threw it on charge for ~20 minutes and it was at 67%. Low usage since, and its at 60%. So theres that.

Haha, yes. I just couldn't remember the name.
Hey Folks...
I had bought the Droid turbo 2.. or MOTO X Force as known in India 2 days back.
The first time I charged the Phone - Switched it off - Connected the turbocharger ( that comes along with the Device) it took me approximately 1.30 - 2 Hours to full charge it from 5% to 100% .. It did show turbo charging on the screen.
What was strange is next instance I plugged it in at 35% it took 1 hour and charged only up to 65%. This charging was done with the phone ON unlike the first charge where I had switched it OFF. It took about 2-3 hrs to full charge the device. Though it did show turbo charging when plugging in.
I felt this was strange. I again did a charge yesterday where it took 3 hrs to charge from 27% to 65% though it showed turbo charging.
In the night I switched the device off at 28% and plugged it in.. it was fully charged in probably 1-1.10 hrs max.
Am I to understand that the phone actually turbo charges only when switched off?
I have read in a couple of places that beyond 80% it charges at the normal rate. But I noticed this slow charge way before that Threshold.
Also I get a screen ontime of roughly 4.30 to 5.30 as of now.
also I noticed that last night when I went to sleep I had switched the WIFI off and Data, But I woke upto a 8% drop in the battery.
Could you guys share your thoughts and experience with the device.
This turbo charging issue is it the device or the Charger which is at fault here? I will need to replace if any of them are at fault.
Also what is the average SOT you guys get? and does your device hit temperatures of 45 deg C?
Do help out..
Thank you in Advance.
BUMP...
Mine will turbocharge regardless if it's on or off. Start with trying another charger since it's the cheaper option.
