[Q] Chargine speed? - T-Mobile LG G3

Just got my G3 last night.
Loving it so far, but i noticed that the charging speed is very slow..
Also, the charger and cable that came with the phone gives me "weak power" notification even when I plug it into the wall.
So I have to use my old charger and cable...
any thoughts ?

Coming from a Note 3, this does feel slower.
Nexus ONE

I'm still using my galaxy s4 charger since its a larger cord. Charges about the same speed as my g2.

Yep coming from the note 3 I notice a difference too. It's gotta be the fact the note had usb 3.0

Yes, coming from the Note 3, the G3 is slow as hell. Actually, very disappointed on it but it is what it is.

I haven't even used the one that came with the phone. Use the blackberry blade chargers, they'll charge at about 1% a minute or so. Best 5 bucks I ever spent.

The charger that comes with the phone is 1.8 amps, the Note 3 comes with a 2 amp charger. Not sure how much current the G3 can pull vs the Note 3, but you could try using a Note 3 charger and see if it's any faster.
I had an old charger by my nightstand and when I plugged it in at around 20% it said it would take it 6 hours to charge haha. The included charger quoted 2 hours.
It's possible that your cable (or the charger) is damaged OP

I plugged my 2 day old G3 in yesterday at 18% and it calculated charge to 100% to only take 1hr46min. Your charger must be phuked if it is showing slow charging. All chargers I have that are over 1.5mAh charge at the faster rate.

Mine charges no slower than any other phone I've owned. I don't do Samsung, so I can't say anything about them. Charges every bit as fast as my wife's M8.

This ^^^. $5 on eBay for TWO of them. They're 6 feet long, and charge at 1.8A - fast as hell on my N5. I'll see how it is on the G3 when I get it. But they're honestly so good I bought 6 of them total. For $15, and how good they are, why not?

Did u try them? Do u have link from ebay?

just bought a battery bank 10,000 mah !!

these things are amazing! no more do i have to worry about htc one x battery, all i do is charge it up, 1amp at 5voltes or 2 amp at 5 volts, doesnt get any better than that! it also charges up other phones as well!
the one i got is this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270939385624?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
but if you want go on ebay and type in "battery 10000 " or "battery 8000" and you get different battery banks,
i paid 25 quid for mine, awesome!! using it for all my phones and devices!!
edit:
hi there guys,i got a good 3 full charges and a half out of it, seems pretty decent and plenty of juice keeps my one x going, kept in the car the last few days and been gaming alot on my one x, here is a pic,
its about double the thickness of the htc one x
it took under 2 hours to charge, you can charge at 1amp 5v or 2amp 5v, obviously 1amp 5v is what you use for the one x, i dont know the exact time as i left my phone to it, then came back and it was done 100%
first 2 charges of the battery pack take 20 hours at 1amp 5v, then after that u are sorted
Got myself a 5000mah one quite a while ago. Its great when you're on a holiday or traveling by train/airplane. Finally play those battery hungry tegra 3 games more than 90 minutes

I agree, having had the Philips Power2Go SCE7640 for the last 3 years or so, it's been great for long-haul journeys, not having to worry about finding somewhere to charge the phone.
is this claimed 10,000mah capacity for real??
yep, the thing takes 16 hours to charge fully, but it will charge my phone about 8 times over, its not that chunky, here is a pic, i can fit it in my pocket, keep it in my car, or in my shoulder bag, it goes everywhere with me

We can’t always trust specs when it comes to cheap no-name batteries and battery packs on eBay. If you already have it can you do some testing and confirm that it charges at 1A (i.e: can fully charge from a low battery level in 3hrs) and that it can charge the phone at least 4 times from a single charge ?
I'm more concerned about the charging speed than the actual capacity. I'd be happy with 5000mAh pack if it can charge as quickly as an AC adapter.

well the first 2 times you have to charge for 20 hours, after that its up to you, its a lion battery high quality, I will test this over the next few days and confirm how many charges I get on my htc one x and s3 so I will know for sure, if it charges from dead at least 5 times then it is acurate and true,

Your assumptions are incorrect unfortunately....
its 10000mah at 3.7v
most of our devices are 5v like the htc one x....
This is the same for all batteries that I have seen, so even my 5000mah battery will only charge the phone maybe twice.....
10000mah am guessing about 3.5 times.... take in other aspects like losing power through heat and the quality of the cable and connectors too......

Micro USB port uses 5v to charge, but that is not the voltage of the battery. Most mobile phone batteries are 3.7v including HTC One X. Therefore 10,000mAh @ 3.7v ~= 5.5 times the One X battery's capacity
ok, lets see how that works out.....

I was right
Basically my 5000mAh rated device will get less than 2 full charges for the HOX....
I paid about this much for mine about 2 years ago, but won't be spending more money as I only use it now and again on holidays.
yep is handy to have around if you are away for a bit, just remember use 1amp 5v charging usb port, not the 2amp, but im pretty sure the htc one x prevents over current anyway,, 2 amp is for tablets/laptops etc.
Just WTF. 10000 mah?! U crazy

charging time on Gnex

I upgraded to Jelly Bean the day before yesterday. But upgrading I've found that my charging time gone up quiet a bit. Its taking almost 30-40% more time to charge than it used to do earlier on ICS (stock). I'm running stock Jelly Bean on my Gnex. Is someone else also having this issue?
For me, approximatively 2-3 hours for full charging.
I think its more faster than ICS
I think I'll try different chargers to check the issue..

Hm... I'm no expert at this, but maybe JB slowed down the charging amount so GNex doesn't get hot when charging. I found my GNex to charge a bit longer after the update too. But now when I'm using my GNex, it doesn't get as hot as 4.0.x
Takes a couple hours. But completely dependent on the charger and cable. Long cables have more line-loss, and chargers vary from 500mA to 2.1A in output.

LOL what? Longer cables in NO WAY effect charging time.
LOL... that's a good one. Also, the Galaxy Nexus charger is rated at 1 amp. You should not use a charger OVER 1 amp or you will damage the phone's charging circuit.
And I used to thought the higher Amperage doesn't affect the battery at all. Even if the 'amp' is high,the device will pull only that much of 'amp' that it needs. Rather we should ensure that voltage should not be higher than the rated one for the device.

A longer and/or thinner cable does have more resistance and so loses a bit of its power (V*A) over the run as waste heat. If it is already at capacity, that loss would slow charging a little bit compared to a shorter cable. If not, then its just wasted energy for heating the cable.
To your second point, any 5volt charger capable of delivering over 1 amp at 5V ( clean DC ) will safely charge a GNexus. Any unnecessary amperage capacity will just not be used. Charger will run cooler.
You could use a 6V auto battery charger with LOTS of amp capacity if it were 5V instead of 6V, and if it were clean DC, but it is not.

[Q] Charging Note2 with the Note1 charger

Hello
My note 2 stock charger got damaged & untill i bring a new one, can i use the note 1 charger? Or it will damage the battery some how?
I want a reasonable answer not like "yes u can"
Thanks for your cooperation
Edit : i googled for an answer but unfortunately i couldn't find any with my search keys...

I dont have a note 1 and a note 1 charger so I cant really answer.
But i advise you to compare whats written on both chargers. Volt, power all that stuff. If its the same i dont see a problem.
Maybe its not the best advice but I used to charge my LG p990 with a N97 charger and its still fine.
Theres one thing with my note 2 charger.
When I charge it theres a little noise that pisses me off its like ultrasound or something coming from the charger connected on the wall. I usually notice the noise wheb the phone is at 65%.

You can use it but it well charge slowly. So the usual 2.5 hours to charge week become 4 to 5 hours.
Both chargers are micro usb and is required for them (as a standard) to be 5 volts. So using them to charge ur GN2 is ok.
The current really doesn't matter. It only dictates how fast its gonna be charging your phone. Since the usual GN2 charger uses 2 amps, using the 1 amp GN1 charger would just make your phone charge longer. Anything above 2 amps may be harmful and untested.
I believe they made the GN2 charger 2 amps because it has to make the charging time shorter to compensate for the bigger battery.

Yup, if those numbers are true then it will take twice as long to charge a note 2 using the note 1 charger. The output voltage must be the same, otherwise bad things may happen. I remember reading somewhere the faster the charging, the quicker the battery life degrades, so the Note 1 charger may actually be better, but I have read so many contradicting articles about Li-Ion Batteries that I don't know what to believe. In any case, you can try. In theory, it's safe, and if really needs a stronger charge, it will either display a message that it needs a different charger or it simply won't charge. It won't blow up or break down, but you shouldn't leave it connected for hours either if you see it doesn't charge.

People have said their charge times were around 8hrs so it sounds about right. I have always charged mine when I'm either sleeping or when I'm busy with something else but the only time I kinda paid attention to it, I think it charged from 10 - 100% in about 6hrs but I could be wrong.
Mine seemed to charge in about 4 or 5 hrs from 0% to 100%. I had the tablet turned off.

be careful about getting one who's voltage is too high. you can burn up your electronics easily.
This is the only tablet that while playing an high intensive game like Modern Combat 4 where it did not lose charge. It actually was still charging and gaining steadily. This means that I am able to play for as long as I choose without worry of not having enough juice. I have owned many tablet over the years the latest one before the Note was the Nexus 10 and that drained battery while charging while in use. Very happy.

Cable impedance can make quite a difference. So use short, thick usb cables. In a test from german mag c't an S4 charged fastest with a certain Huawei ps. If the S4 is also charging at 2A, this power supply could also be used here. Sadly, that issue of the mag went to the bin.

Yup this is true. Some cables restrict the current so even if you use a 2.0amp adapter it will still charge slow because of the cable. The micro USB cable that comes with the s4, s3, and some Motorola are the good ones. Generally they're thicker than most. Ive bought extra from Amazon. You can use an app called "galaxy charging current" to check charging in mah. There may be other apps out there. But it's good for knowing your tablet is charging at its optimum or if you're using a good cable.

Quick Charging?

I got an M9 today, and im trying to see if my Adaptive Fast Charging cable from my S6 would work on my M9. On my s6 it tells me if fast charging is enabled, meanwhile this M9 says nothing. Is there anyway to know if it is actually fast charging without actually watching the charge and see if its "fast"?
I have the HTC quick charger and there are no messages or indicators that fast charging is in effect. Also, the Samsung quick charger did not appear to work on my M9.
Thanks man, so im kinda guessing I just have to watch real world usage and see... What a bummer
I tried using my Nexus 6 quick charger but I don't think it really charges quickly
That's disappointing that other quick chargers don't work on the M9. You would have thought that if the charger is Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 certified then it should work, right?
Some do. The Motorola quick charger that came with the Nexus 6 works fine with my M9.

that's the problem their not all "Qualcomm Certified" some chargers sold as quick chargers are the old Qualcomm Quick Charge 1.0 and only supply 1.5a at 5v and not the true 18W - 2.0a at 5v

but it would be no big surprise to me if samsung didn't put something in their charger to disable the quick charge function on non samsung phones
Im using the stock HTC charger and its telling me 9 hours until fully charged, lmfao.. wtf
Just acquired a note 4 adaptive fast charger, i'll give it a test vs the htc charger with minimal apps installed, the original S5 charger with a normal cable charges the M9 very quickly, this isn't a fast charger afaik, but it does the job a lot quicker than the original M9 one does.
Will see how it goes.
Just charged from 50 to 100 in 70 mins.
2 hours 20 minutes or there about.
That is not fast charging, at least not QC2.0 speeds. You're describing something probably charging 1100-1500
QC2.0 can charge from flat to fat in about an hour and ten minutes. +1800 - +2400 - think this is the one I'm using right now: http://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-Cert...9167&sr=8-1&keywords=quick+charge+2.0+charger $15, it charges in average about +2000mA.
That said, it would probably charge faster if the screen stayed off. Seems to drop down to +700mA when the screen kicks on, which it does at every notification.

Wasn't saying it was fast charging, 2 hours is not bad.

I have the same charger and can confirm that it does charge alot faster with QC2.0 using battery monitor widget app.

It's not too bad is it? I thought my phone charged pretty quick using that
I have an older HTC charger at work that charges fairly slow. It appears to be around +700-800mA. The charger that came with the phone is much quicker. I assume it must be around +1200mA based on charge time. If I'm near a dead battery, I can get it back up to 100% in around 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

With standard charger I found that by not touching it charges quicker, once you start using it takes time. Same with in car it annoymed the most with how long it took.
