It takes mine ages. I can leave it plugged in for hours and it only charges a bit. Right now Battery Monitor widget estimates 8 hours on "AC" and 12 hours on "USB" for a 100% charge - 3/4 hours from 64%. That's slow, no?
I only get +2-400mA (341mA right now, sometimes less, or more) when plugged into my 5v-1A AC charger. How about you guys?
Any one else got charge times from a program like Battery Monitor Widget?
Takes about 4 hours from 1% to 100%
my HOX is charging.. i plug it at 9% 1 hour and 40 minute ago.. its 71% now..

That's very very slow. Check your cables, are they frayed? Cos I'm currently using the cable that came with my Desire Z and it's starting to fray pretty bad, and I'm only getting about 300-400mAh charge in. Used to charge at around 750+. I switched USB Cables (same charger, just different cables) and my charge rate jumped back to 750. Do note that charge rate slows down the closer it gets to 100%.
Mine took almost 3hrs for 0 to 100% charge.
3-4 hours from 5% to 100%
On the USB in college I get 20% is 2 hours lol on charger about 3 hours.

That's weird then. Maybe I should buy a new cable. Do most of you get 700mA+ readings when charging?
The cable is very new, but I did get it from a shady seller - maybe it has a problem. I will get a new USB cable this evening.
It COULD be the problem? That's only from my own testing though. Try it with a friend's cable or something. Nokia and Samsung phones use the same Micro USB to charge.
Mine will go from 2% to 100% in 3 hour 5 min with an USB charger of 1.5A output.

Unfortunately the HOX is limited to a 1A input charge /:
i'm at my wits end, i bought an HTC one X today, and plugged it to the charger cos it was 7% of energy, it's been off for 3 hours and i turn it on and it says 8%, i'm using the cable and the charger that came with the cellphone, what could i do?, i even got a message while running the setup procedure that the phone consumes more energy than what it receives via AC, what to do? i'm worried

You've got a misbehaving app somewhere. Restart your phone and try again.
with the original charger and cable, it takes me roughly 3 hrs to fully charge my one X from 10%~ to 100%
with the cheap cable I bought and the Iphone charger, it takes me 4 hrs to charge from 9% to 90% ~ about 5 hrs to fully charge ~
I don't use my laptop's usb to charge, and I believe it will take much longer ~
With the official HTC cable that came in the box its taken me 3 hours to charge about 40%. Please someone tell me this is faulty.
Also the battery has never lasted more than 2hours 20 mins on screen with medium/heavy usage. and no more than 1 hour 30 with heavy usage (HD Video/streaming)
ALso when i unplug the charger at 100% it drops down to 90% within 10 minutes and then continues to plummet. I got around 6hours off screen time with music playing before it died.
Anyone have this issue?

The same thing happened to me today. I've noticed charging from a computer's USB gives a higher charge amperage.
I just ordered a 2A USB charger, but I also found that if I power off the phone and charge it, it charges very quickly.

That sounds like a serious problem. I would send it back. Although, you should poke around and see what's consuming all the energy.
Charging times without looking at the battery monitoring application reporting where energy is spent does not help much to understand where the problem is.
If the phone is really idle with good GSM coverage, no particular GSM activity and Wifi switched off, then more than 2 or 3 hours either shows that the charger isn't powerful enough (could happen with a car cigarette-lighter->USB charger or any charger that delivers less than 1A/H), or a faulty charger or battery.
If one has good charging times when the phone is switched off, then the problem is more likely related to the software running in the phone, fiddling with the phone while it's charging (keeping the screen on) or because of RF activity (GSM, Wifi).
So first switch the phone off, charge it at 100%, look at the time it took and if it's okay then look at the battery monitoring app to understand where energy is spent when the HOX is turned on...
what apps or widget do u guys use to see how much current(mA) is being charge to the phone?
hi all
mine charges from 25% to full in a little over 2 hrs
thats with the htc charger that came with it an the usb supplied by htc .... i have other leads that i used with my old deisre (non htc) and i gfet a very slow charge time .... i have got from ebay som high quality leads (if 2.99 post free is high quality) and they charge quickly so id say the onex is quite fussy over what leads you use to charge it
mind you im loving the phone have rooted mine and have the leedriod rom which is awsome

I went to sleep last night with the battery at 15%, slept for ~5 hours, woke up, and the battery was only at 50%. Is this normal? Does it take this long to charge for anyone else?
For reference I'm using an HTC charger from a previous Android phone, would using the Samsung charger make a difference?
Yes it seems like too long for too little of a charge. Give the Samsung one a shot.
Your using a charger that at very best pumps out 1amp
The default note 2 charger pumps out 2amps
In other words your charger will take twice as long as it should to charge your phone

I agree, the Samsung charger with its 2A is necessary for this large battery if you want it to charge fast.

It's from a HTC wall charger. I changed it to the Samsung charger that came with the phone. Will let you guys know how it goes when I go to sleep tonight.
Will the USB cable make a difference? I have a super long USB cable that I like to use instead of the short default cable that came with the phone.
I know about the 1 Amp / 2 Amp charger ratings, but unlike the original post:
I have my Motorola Xoom 10.1 plugged into the wall, and i use a USB OTG cable from the Xoom to charge my Note 2 overnight (so to only use 1 plug socket).
So i assume this is providing 1 Amp or even less to my Note 2.
I often have it charge my Note 2 from 5% or less all the way to 100% in under the 6/7 hours sleep i get.
Somehow the original posters 35% charge in 5 Hours seems very slow.
with my Samsung box set usb cable, it still takes 8 hrs to charge 100%. sometimes the red led is on but without a single percent charge. I am talking about charging with the usb connected to the laptop. if plugged in power, it takes less that 3 hrs for a full charge.
I remember my previous win7 was perfect, may be the new win8 is having some problem or not, I don't know?

My Xoom must give out some good Amperage if i can get a 100% charge in 6/7 hours then.
The "only" thing that matters is the voltage.
The included charger puts out 5V(+-5%) and 2A.
Too little voltage, and it won't charge.
Too much voltage and you will burn a fuse or the charging circuits in either the phone or the charger.
The phone chargers (no matter what brand it is) are within the limits, so don't worry.
The current (Ampere) shows how much power your charger can deliver at a given time, but the phone itself decides how much current it can take.
A standard USB-port (1.1) gives out 5V and 500mA.
I've built LED cables based on this.
USB 2.0 and higher are supposed to be able to give up to 1500mA under certain circumstances.
My motherboard has a pair of special USB-ports which can recognize cameras, phones, etc. and charge with a higher current and even without having the computer turned on.
While charging through USB-ports a full charge takes ages for me, 6 hours while sleeping will never even charge close to 100%.
On the other hand, charging though the adaptor that came with it or any other adaptor that can pump some juice is blazing fast... 3-4 hours and it's back to a 100%.
Okay, this will sound too silly but this worked for me! Encountered and suffered from the same problem..
It used to take 8 hours to get fully charged...but in time i noticed this silly and weird thing...should work though..
Before putting the phonw on charging, kill all running apps...then when you plug the charger-DO NOT TURN THE SCREEN OFF BY YOURSELF...let it sleep automatically. And it'd get charged lighting fast...it worked for me!

If i put my Note 2 on charge where its at 25% battery, in 30 mins my battery gets charged to $85%! And you should ALWAYS use the charger that comes with your phone instead of a charger made for another phone. The HTC charger is designed to charge that HTC Phones battery. Each charger is different in the sense it provides different amounts of power. The Note 2 battery is huge so the Note 2 charger is designed to push a specific amount of power to it to charge it in a reasonable time.
For e.g. If you use the iPhone 4 charger to charge an iPad, in 5 hours it will charge the iPad to approx 50%, and if you use the original charger to charge the iPad the iPad will be more than fully charged. Thats because the iPad charger is designed to accommodate the huge battery inside the iPad.
Also i read an article not too long ago that said that alot of science goes behind these smartphone / tablet chargers and how its dangerous for the charger and device / battery if you start mixing and matching chargers.
My $.02 cents!

Guys this issue is annoying me. My device is having some charging problems. I have measured the charging time for last two charges, and its taking 3 hours 40 mins for 10% to 100%, and 4 hours from 0% to 100%. Where most people are saying it takes around 3 hours, from a complete drain to full 100%.
So have any of you guys ever measured the actual time of charging? A lots of comments I see say around this or around that, or from 2 hours to 3 hours, well that's not what I need. If anyone has measured the time then please post here. I'm thinking about going to SC, but I don't wanna go there until I'm totally sure that there is a problem.
PS: I'm talking about Stock charger, (2A) plugged in AC power source. And device should be on, not off.
Btw- There should be a technical answer to this, the charging current is 2A and the battery is 3100 mAh, so how could I do the math?
Thanks in advance.

I don't know the math stuff but why don't you try calibrating the battery - worth trying !
Knowing that info is only half the truth. How the phone charges the battery and how much energy your phone uses during the charge matters too.

The time taken to charge is a pretty simple mathematical formula. But the rest of the calculation is complicated.
If you phone is on, how bright is the screen, is the display on or off, are you on wifi or network data, are you syncing email every 15 minutes or every hour, are you using the phone to send messages during charge, have you got gmail, dropbox, facebook, instagram, whatsapp, etc etc etc all doing a sync at regular intervals during the charge?
All of those things will use up some of the charge as its going in, so the charger is fighting against you.
I've been charging off usb at work and struggled to gain 20% in 8 hours because of my usage pattern.
Theoretical time for charge is about 1:30 hrs. Reality, start and ending charge should slow down (for safety), heat slow downs, plus usage of phone as spoken above I guess it could take up to 3 hrs.
It's not great to do a full charge regularly. I tend to keep mine between 40-90% for maximum life cycle of battery.
Perhaps try resetting battery stats? Try a different 2a charger?

Mine takes 2.5 hrs to charge from 10% to 100% with phone on using stock wall charger and cable (when charged continuosly with no activity on phone). It charged from 1% to 96% in 2.5 hrs with phone switched off (switched it on exactly after 2.5 hrs to check). But, usually i avoid charging my phones to full 100% (also always charge it when at 10%).

Try with another note 2 charger first. The thing with these chargers is they will behave erratically when there is voltage fluctuation or if you use in a train and other cases. So go to SC and tell them its taking almost double time for me to get charged. They will replace the charger as well the cable. My cousin has the same problem with s3. He got it replaced by the SC.

Thanks Chaitanya. But the SC guys are so stupid here. First thing they do always are to take the phone in their custody and deal with it badly. Still I will ask them to replace the charger and check.
Some of us have noted that if you let the screen time out and not manually shut screen off after connecting the charger. ..The charging is faster. . If you manually shut off the screen. .. The charging is slow.... It is weird but don't know why. .it definitely is happening

Op: I said theoretical it will take 1:30.. Realistically it should slow down during stages due to safety reasons.
Mine took probably 3 hours the other day I ran it down, but this was combination of using 1a and 2a charger.
I think on the note 2 it doesn't ramp up power till it gets to 20-30%. Took a while to get there from 2%. If only battery widget was working on the note 2..then I could confirm.

Anyway, after a long week in Service Center now my phone is back, they provided me a new charging adapter (not the cable) and I was very happy because I thought everything will be smooth and like before but guess what?

I really don't think it's your device or your battery for that matter. I have a question as well (sorry to hijack...). When you were charging it for 30 mins, were you using it? Was the screen off or the phone totally turned off? I noticed one night that I had an email notification and the phone did not charge because the notification LED was on all night while I slept and it was plugged into my 1A Samsung charger from my original Note. I have yet to check if the charging disconnects itself if the LED comes on. I don't even know if the phone charges at all if the screen is on either. Can anyone confirm? I guess I'll try it out tonight! The battery last forever I got to admit, perhaps most of the time I'm slow charging it at 1A max with the original Note's charger? I guess it does the battery some good
Thanks a bunch!
No pal I am not using the device while charging (because I am testing and measuring the times, that's why I restrain myself from touching it), and it's on, not off.
Anyway, yesterday I went to a friend's home and found he has a Samsung ACE and has same USB port like Note's and I was carrying the charging adapter, so I took that Ace's cable and plugged in to my Note's adapter and let it charge for an hour, and I was amazed and happy to see that it increased 38% in 60 mins. Well this tells me that the USB cable of my Note 2 is gone to heaven.
And oh, if you charge and use the device at the same time it will charge pretty fast even then too. I can confirm this when I first got the device, always was using it and charging, and I was surprised to even then how fast it was charging.
I (and many other users) have similar problems with Galaxy S3. I've made an app that shows the actual charging current: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076078
I'm not sure if it works on the Note 2, but it is worth a try.
Please check if your device is charging at the optimal charging current (I think it is 2000mA for the Note 2 charger, instead of 1000mA as pointed in the SGS3 thread).
I searched for a solution and bought these two items..

If you rooted your device you can put an xposed module on that will eliminate all low battery warnings.
On your setup, I don't really see the difference between it and using the OGP's standard high-power charger. The cable isn't going to do anything, as far as I can see. And the charging port is 8A/5 ports — from what I've read it adapts to the device to allow it to pull what it needs within that allotment, thus I don't see the OGP pulling more than 1.8A. So, my question to you is, you've tested the standard 1.8A charger against your setup and you get X hours reduction on charge time?
FYI, I don't have the ZeroLemon pack. Thinking about it but might upgrade my device to the GP2.
I have, it took a day and a half.

36 hours to charge?
Most using this pack state around 12 hours. Seems something is wrong if it's taking 36 hours to charge with the standard charger that comes with the OGP — normal battery charges in less than 3 hours. I've seen where some zerolemon packs hit 100% but are actually only half charged, thus causing increased charge times. . . . strange stuff.
Using Yoobao 2 Amps wall charger
My zerolemon (9000 mAh) only took 10 hrs to charge. And standard battery (3140 mAh) took 2 hrs using Yoobao 2 Amps wall charger.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem or is it just how long it takes to charge this tab?
Plugged into the charger for an hour with the tablet off and it's only charged 15%. So it's going to take 6 and a half hours to fully charge?
Also the battery seems to die pretty quickly from just normal Web browsing. From 40 to 15% in an hr.

My battery life improves after a few charging cycles. I found Samsung charger is slow but not too bad. Mine charges about 30% an hour with tablet powered on but not in use. It goes a lot faster when using Nook HD charger, though both have 2.0A output.
My Note 3 charges so much faster that it's not even funny. And considering it's 10000 mAh...
Yep charges super slow. No idea why. Also drains super fast surfing web. People talk about getting 8 hours on this. Im lucky to get 4 but then again i like brightness high.
Use a launcher to improve Touchwiz stutter (funny that some folks complain about this stutter thing - on 10.5 have never experienced it even without a launcher).

Try to power down for a few minutes and then see if there was a difference after you powered on.
You can also check the task manager to see what is running on your system.

I always kill apps when I'm done with them. Guess I'll give rooting and removing all the Samsung apps a shot.
I got some decent battery life out of mine when I had it about 6-8 hours mixed use. Def noticed a big drop when surfing the web using white backgrounds. Charging also was painfully slow on mine I think around 3-4 hours from 0 to full charge for me when not in use.
It's been a staple of their latest tablets unfortunately. Just make sure you're using the stock cable/adapter as some of the aftermarkets don't have enough power. For example, I have a 10 foot cable but it only puts out one third the power then the included power cable using the same adapter.

Try using Galaxy Charging Current lite it helped me. I was using a Anker intelligent charger and it took forever to charge it. App showed current at 350-450mA. Used Samsungs and it showed 1800mA.
I have to agree, just received the tablet today albeit stressed out to the max because the fedex guy marked it as delivered when it wasn't to squeeze out extra minutes for a break (seriously?!?) I thought it got ripped off! So, back to the battery, I turned on the tab, beautiful this thing is by the way...and was at 62% out of the box. I began charging it using the included power cable and adapter, and 3 hours later I realized just how long this was taking to charge. Granted I was using it practically the whole time, I am hoping a higher amp charger will fix this for me.
Yup it took me 5.5 hours to charge fully. I'd be lucky if i get 5 hours of usage before the juice runs out.
8.4 inch charges fines here. 2.5 hours max, powered on or off.

Charge time isn’t particularly fast on any of the devices, but the 10.5-inch model in particular takes a while to make it to a full charge. The 10.5 will reach a 90% charge in just under 4 hours, but to make it to 97% takes another hour and the last 3% takes another 42 minutes on top of that. Usable charge time is competitive, but if you’re obsessive about always charging to 100% the 10.5-inch model does take a while to get there.

Mine seems to charge quicker than what is stated on that chart. Will have to time it from 0% next time.

The charger that comes with the tab s is the same all new galaxy devices are shipping with. They do 5.3volts instead of just 5 volts. You will get a little quicker charge with the stock charger.
I get a legit 6-8 hours SOT mixed use

Slow charging NO charging
I hope this is okay to post here since it is a charging problem. I am on my third SM t-800. Mine stop charging all together! First one charged one time then stopped. Second on would not charge at all, It used up its factory 45% that it shipped with and nothing more. Third one was best by far and charged untill this moring and has stopped. Now, here are the details. I checked the cord by pluging into my note 3 on all of them. Infact my wifes Note 2. They charge fine. I don't have my ameter to check ampers but they clearly are delivering volts to the other devices. Now get this. I have a Bose external speaker that uses a mini usb. I plugged that one into the tablet and it is charging right now. Of note I had a concern that maybe some how the socket was bumped on the tab and somehow messed it up. But that is a long shot since the first two were used while only on a desk. So this third one has been supper "babied". I'm so frustrated right now.
BTW my first tab charged very slowly. 6-7 hours or so. Maybe more? I feel at this point the pins in the tab are not making contact. Any thoughts?

Just got of the horn w/ Samsung. Got issue taken care of. In short, the phone tech mentioned ampreage and I yanked the AC transformer off the wall and checked it. The factory transformer is 5.3v. 2.00ampers. In the dark last night i plugged into a "white" charger. An ipad charger I think, that is 5.2v. 2.4amp transformer. I switched the cord to the corect transformer and the tab is charging. Apparenty the chip in the tab was protecting the unit from over ampreage and it shut down charging. I know better than this and feel like a fool but thought I should let you all know what happened. This brings up a issue. Slow charging.... could the slowness be caused by a transformer with say 1.5 amps? Maybe the tab will let it charge but at a slow rate? Just a thought. Moral of the story for me? Plug in the tab in a lighted area, and into the correct charger.

Charging is a little slow, but the battery is large, so i accept that, but when it's charged 100% it lasts for ages. Faster charging shortens the life of the battery anyway. I could easily get 7- 8 hours constant surfing out of this tab. I've been on it now for over 2hrs surfing and it's used 13% . I always use auto brightness.
I get 6-8 hrs of mixed use, YouTube, surfing the Web and some movies with a little gaming. It takes me around 4 hrs to fully charge. Battery life is average. I'm using a 10.5 LTE.

Technically this is not true at all. It is heat that hurts batteries. You can charge as fast as you want as long as you keep it cold. That being said, Lithium Ion batteries will take a much faster charge rate and not cause heat. You could easily charge this battery in 2 hours, but the common chargers aren't that powerful.
