Fast
92% in 42mins and 100% in 57mins...from a test ive seen.. Amazingly good.. Wow

Absolutely fast. Never expected phone to charge at this crazy speed.

Mine went from 12% to 100% in 58 minutes. Pretty bloody good given I'm used to having to charge overnight.

Charging is really quick and the device did not get hot. 50-100% in around 40mins

Device didn't get hot. The last few %s seem to take the longest

Charging from 25% to 85% took about 14 minutes. It's insane how quick it is, you plug it in and a minute later it's 3% to 4% higher.

Yeah it takes longer from zero percent, but charging between about 25 and 80 is really fast, try it

will see tomorrow...today (right now) i got to 100% from zero in 71 minutes

That's right, it's the same with any quickcharge device. The lower and upper percentile always charge way slower. The stated 14 mins COULD be right, therefore.

Woooooooooow

try different charger / cable combinations with this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.ampere
1600 ish mA is quickcharge 2

My charged from 0 to 100 % in 65 minutes.
Ampere stats in 0% is 3650mah max and gets lower to 500mah when battery around 90%
Very happy ?

9%->100% it took 1.15 min 1st charge

It is very quick, but i have to say my Oppo Find 7A does not take much longer. Quickcharge has been around for 2 years now almost. Oppo = Oneplus by the way.

This my first time doing this, and it will need more data and experiences from others, but here are my first impressions and results. I'll post the time and percentage of battery as it was charging, using the cable and wall plug provided. This all happened in the UK, fwiw:
20:07 - 7%
20:30 - 54%
20:51 - 90%
20:59 - 95%
21:06 - 97%
21:14 - 99%
21:21 - 100%
For me, it appears that using the Dash Charger is stunningly fast during the first 0% to 60% - approximately 30mins, as per the OP3 claim.
However, past this, the charger seems agonisingly slow.
It took 8minutes to from 90% to 95%, which is slow.
It took 7minutes to go from 95% to 97%, which is just nuts.
It took 7minutes to go from 99% to 100%, which may have just been me not watching properly

Waiting for my OP3 to arrive...
In the meantime - what happens if you connect a different phone to OP3 Dash charger+cable combo?

[Q] Is charging overnight bad for the battery?

I leave the phone charging overnight (about 7 hrs). Is this bad for the battery in any way?
Also I know that heat helps quickly degrade the battery. So should I take my phone out of its TPU case when charging to help it dissipate heat?
no.
yes.
It does degrade your battery life somewhat, since LiPo batteries prefer a partial charge to a full charge.

What is a partial charge exactly? What percentage is that? 50%? 80%? 99%? Also is there an app out there which can stop the phone charging once it gets to a certain level?

You want to keep your phone in the middle basically, 40 to 60 being the optimal zones. If you charge over night your phone will reach 100% and sit there untill you unplug it, 100% is pretty much the fastest rate of decay your battery will suffer.
Letting the battery drain too far is also going to decay it faster. Its best to charge it frequently, i normally keep mines between 40 and 80,and then when i want to go out, i pop it on for a full charge.
Dont worry about charging to 100, or dropping to 10, it's not exactly something that occurs if you do it 5 or 6 times, whats more damaging is the duration you leave the battery at those levels.
Also, something I've noticed with some HTC phones, when you charge via usb, they charge at a max speed of 500mA, give or take. But when using the AC adapter, it charges at 1A (1000mA) if you are not in a hurry, charge your phone using USB, it will take quite a bit longer, but the battery will suffer less decay this way.

The phone doesn't sit at 100% all night. It will charge to 100%, take itself off the charger until somewhere around 95% then go back on the charger until 100% and repeat.

Most devices don't charge again, the charge level drops slightly yes, but normally it still reads as 100 until you unplug. Ether way, holding that charge level is not good if some one is intending extending there batteries life span.

And as most of us found, HOX loses something around 3% per night if it is on iddle.... So am I right that if I leave it on charger, it goes to 100% and then just discharges to 97% telling me that its 100% with no more charging cycles harming battery? It would be hard fir me to pass a day if its not fully charge...

as said above it will drop to 95 then back to 100.
small chargers are better for the battery than big discharge recharge
you should read this thread but in short overnight charging is fine, fully emptying the battery bad.

Battery Problem (Charging and Draining)

I got my Note 10.1 2014 Edition yesterday. I noticed out of the box that it was draining extremely fast. When I put it on the charger, it charged very slow.
I put the tablet on the charger while I slept (6hrs), the tablet did not even charge fully. Only to 88%.
Anyone have battery drain or slow charging issues?
it's possible you have a bum unit. are you using the supplied charger and cable? some cables aren't high enough quality to sustain the higher charge rate and of course some chargers don't output enough power.

Yes, I am using the 2 AMP charger. I have it fully charged now. I am going to test it for the next day or so and it see how it performs. I will report back.
Mine also seems to charge really slow and drain way faster than my 2012 model. I noticed that the AC adapter gets really hot. I've tried with two USB cables and no such luck in improving anything. I don't know what's going on here. I need to some objective comparison testing but this just doesn't feel right to me.
I couldn't get to 100% on the initial charge until after I turned it on. It kind of just hung there in that 88% area.

so far I'm at 1 day 6.5 hrs with 5.25hrs screen and at 38%. not ag good as the old note, but the old gn101 wwasn't as purdy!
Charging and drain
Mine took a charge over night but the battery drains fast. I noticed that the auto brightness is set way too low. Perhaps that's how they got the claimed hours of use.
It does charge pretty slow, I'm surprised they didn't include a micro usb 3.0 like the note 3. I noticed last night that when I was plugged in to the included charger and streaming a video from chrome, it actually drained battery rather than charged. Even using it with lighter tasks significantly slows down charging, making it almost a requirement to charge it overnight.
It drains relatively quickly but if i can get 6+ hours of screen on time, between that and my phone it should last me more than a day of heavy use.
until the battery drains to 80% it's at trickle/slow charge. below 80 it charges full power. mine took 3.5hrs from 20 to 100. it took 2hrs 20 min to go 20 to 80 then 1.5 hrs for the last 20%.
Charging and drain
I noticed it drains quickly for the first 15 or 20% but lasts much longer after that. So I can only think that it's not reading the charge evenly.
I experienced a similar issue today. Had it plugged in overnight and most of the morning. Went to unplug it earlier and it was frozen at 83%. That was after about 12 hours of charging. I plugged it in around 40% last night.
The first two nights charged to 100% fine.
when i first got the note it kept getting stuck at 64% but the next day i charged it completely.
this has definitely got to be the reason one of those reviews said it's 7hrs to full charge.
i haven't taken the update yet so i'm assuming the some of you guys have and it's not changed anything. i haven't had any issue yet, but i also haven't had a need to recharge yet.
Old thread, but I am running into two issues:
1. I agree on the drain, but will use for another week to see how things go. So far the battery drain is considerably more than the iPad 4 and Dell 5130.
2. I can not find a spare cable that will allow slow charge through a computer USB. Cables allow MTP, but there is an X on the charge symbol. I tried charging while asleep and when shut off and same result. Not charging.
One of the reasons I got this was not to have to rely on keeping the charger with me like some other Android tablets.

[Q] Can Lollipop update cause these issues

Today I updated my galaxy tab S to 5.0.2 stock. I've had two issues with the update, by the way I'm using the LTE version, one is really slow charging like 10 to 15% an hour slow, And the other is at the fingerprint sensor keeps failing on me asking me to restart.I just keep tapping okay and eventually it will be back to normal really annoying an popping of these dialog boxes to go away I just keep tapping okay and eventually it will be back to normal. I'm not sure about the finger scanner BEFORE the update, but I can tell you I've never dropped it, while charging seemed to be at 25-30 an hour before. Normal or strange?
It sounds like you might need to recalibrate the battery, you can download free apps from the play store that delete the battery calibration data and then you do a full discharge and charge to make a new one, you need to be rooted.
There is a way to recalibrate without be rooted, but it has to be done manually just ask.
The calculation below are just a guess as i never fully charge my 10.5" and have now done about 170 days without restarting it, never since i got it.
I have the 10.5" and it has an 7900mah battery, and it charges at 1800ma till it hits 80% then it slows down, so using a battery charge time calculator it will take me 5H to go from 0% to 80%
If you have the 8.4" as it has an 4900mah battery, if it charges at 1800ma to 80% , it will take 3H to go from 0% to 80%
It`s the last 20% that take the longest to finish as the charge rate is reduce lower and lower till it hits 100%, so i only ever charge my 10.5" to 80% plus it`s better for the battery.
I use GSam Battery Monitor to sound an alarm when the charge hits 80%

I have the 10.5 and it's slow even on lower percent.. Been charging for 2h only gone up 10% from 3 to 12.
Definitely something wrong there.
Are you using the original charger and usb cable, as other chargers and cable can be really slow.
Try the app below, it should tell you your charging current, it should be around 1800ma

Samsung charger is broken, with an LG charger it shows max at 1800 mA, so there's the problem. Thanks!
Great that you have found your problem, did you fix the fingerprint sensor problem you were having?
Also that LG charger are you using, do you have the model number? , as it`s hard to find non Samsung chargers that charge fast.
Thanks

Well I don't need sugar+caffeine, but regarding the phone it takes at least 100 minute to charge from 1% to 100% on a power socket. On a USB port - I have not tried yet, but it could take double the time I guess.
Pretty crappy. This thing pulls about 1.2mA from the socket and therefore takes a while to charge up. Say about 2 hours to full from 10-15%.
Max amp draw I get. Same with a 10w USB charger or the one plus stock.

5% to 100% i only need 1 hour 40 minutes something. So its fine with me.
1.5 hours. Pretty fast
Better than Galaxy S3 (my former phone)
120 Minutes (2 Hours) from 5% to 100% for me.
90minutes from 0 to 100℅ which seems pretty fast to me as compared to other phones with "fast charge" which can take take 2h45m for full charge(4000mah)
Hi folks,
Last night, my oneplus X took almost 4 to 5 hours from 0 to 97% (not really 100%!). I noticed this degradation of charging since a couple of months, but i can not figure it out if it came from the battery or from the charger. I tried with another charger, and it takes almost the same time...
And also my battery seems to be less efficient, so i have to consider to replace it or there is another solution ?
Thanks

Well, this is an unfortunate tell of events. Onyx has a very very inaccurate fuelguager and it doesn't seem to adjust with time so as the battery degrades, it gets dramatically worse. I too have the sane issue and no matter what I do to circumvent this in my kernel sources, it always pops back up.
Point being, there really isn't a solution though I do soon hope to take a closer look at the fuelguager and rewrite bits of it in my kernel to improve its accuracy

I had the same issue. At some point charging became very slow. But if it's decharging at a normal rate, then it's not the battery.
In my case, getting the charging port repaired at a local phone repair shop did the trick. Now charging from 0 to 100% doesn't take 4 hours anymore, but again 1.5 to 2 hours.
enable USB fast charging in Kernel aduitor that also helps.
Keep mobile data off when charging that also speeds up charging.
Not sure if the phone is old. It seems slower to charge. 2 to 2.5 hours with no usage during charging.
Anyone face this?
On lineage 15.1 june build and usb fast charge enabled. Using stock charger.

Check charging rate with "Ampere" .
Then, try to unactivate USB debugging and check again (after plug / unplug).

Quick charge problem?

Guys, just quick question. Today morning I plug my phone to the original charger (phone was totally discharged (switched off)) and after boot it said me "Quick Charging, fully charged after 3 hours". Bloody hell, is it any type of joke? I thought that quick charging feature is about quick charging, isn't it? Next problem which I have last time (the day before yesterday probably) was that phone told me "fully charged after 1 hour and 20 minutes" but it took almost 2 hours. I use original nexus charger.
Has anyone the some experience with this type of "fast" charging?
Thanks in advance.
My phone charges slowly only when i use it plugged in to the wall...Make sure the slow charge is a software issue and not a hardware,try to calibrate the battery and if it doesn't work try to flash the stock google images (do a backup before flashing),finally,send as a screenshot of your battery stats while charging to see how bad your device charging rates are!...

If your screen is on or the battery is warm, it will charge much slower.
I suggest you leave the screen turned off and let it charge, and check back in 30minutes to see if the charge time has updated to reflect a faster charging rate.
Should charge perfectly fine if you have the screen off and don't use it. I regularly go 15% to 90% in 60 minutes.

It's cause you started at near 40%. All fast charging has basically three levels that tapers from fastest to slowest. Basically in simplest terms it's 0-40% full fast charging, 40-80% regular charging, 80-100% slowest. There's actual numbers with mAh readings for exact details but no need for that. It does this for temperature control. It's also why a lot of fast charging tech advertise 0-80% times. That last 20%, especially 90-100%, is way slower than any other part. So to get the most of fast charging it's actually best to use your phone down to a low reading like 15-20%. As you can see, you end up wasting time trying to charge like you did compared to my screenshots. Essentially you're able to use you phone longer and yet be plugged in for a short period.

Mathematically that is correct, but for longer battery life expectancy (over time), they suggest you charge 50-90% even though it is less efficient in terms of amount of time spent charging.
So I tested charging for one hour starting at 40% and it actually did a little better than what you're getting. Went 40-93% in 60 minutes.
I still suggest starting around 15-20% though because as you can see, 60 minutes of uninterrupted charging gets you to 90% whether starting at 15% or 40%.

Guys, thanks for your effort. I will be trying to find the best way of charging. Even though energy efficient could by better in Google's Nexus I think. I have problem to stay charged 24 hour in a row. Maybe the reason is that I did just maybe 10 charging cycles and the battery is still to new and is still formatting, who knows.

Yeah if you check the battery life thread you'll see people getting various hours of battery usage. Personally, I'm always topping off when I get home from work for about 30 minutes or so (I always shower when I get home) and end with plugging in while sleeping.

Guys, just quick question. Today morning I plug my phone to the original charger (phone was totally discharged (switched off)) and after boot it said me "Quick Charging, fully charged after 3 hours". Bloody hell, is it any type of joke? I thought that quick charging feature is about quick charging, isn't it? Next problem which I have last time (the day before yesterday probably) was that phone told me "fully charged after 1 hour and 20 minutes" but it took almost 2 hours. I use original nexus charger.
Has anyone the some experience with this type of "fast" charging?
Thanks in advance.

in my experience, everytime I had trouble with fast charging (Zenfone and Nexus 5x) was a matter of faulty cable. try to replace your old one. in most cases, processors are kinda super sensitive about the "health" of the cable and won't let the magic happen it's happening to me in these days with my QC2.0 car adapter.
