My first charge also took a long time. Probably close to 4 hours. Hopefully, this doesnt persist.
I must add atleast for me battery life is awesome.
Unplugged @ 8:25am & died by midnight . With heavy use

If anyone here had an Atrix at one point can you say this battery lasts about the same as the Atrix?? I loved the battery on the Atrix, but the phone not so much.

it lasts just as long, if not longer. I don't still have an Atrix to direct compare so this is kind of off feel/memory.
Chika Da China Da Chinese Chicken?
Every phone thread I have looked through states the same thing about all phones like ours.
New phones, wiped batt stats or newly flashed custom roms.
It takes a few cycles for the phone to create near perfect battery stats. It's not so much that it isn't actually charged in an hour or two. We are all looking at "statistics" produced by the software.
We all know how inaccurate software can be at times right Bill G?
Ok but how do u explain battery loss when the device is plugged in and in use...

Check the output of the charger.
So many variables. Wall direct plug charger charges quicker than a USB plug. USB plug charges better than a car charger. Check the 'ma' output and see if its like 500 or so. If so then you are basically charging at an equal or slower rate than the use of the same power.

What's up with this, i had my phone plug in now for two hours and is at 49% from 5% that it was when i plug it in. I am using the wall charger.
Is this normal, or do i have a bad battery.
It would take my old phone about hour to fully charge (iphone).
seems really slow. I was using my wall charger also might try and different wall charger or PC next time

I would think the PC would take even longer since it puts out less power via USB. I'll give it a shot next time i drain the bat.
I wonder if we will see it speed up after the first few full drains. It just seems really weird might be a bug who knows.
My first charge was awfully slow, it's been charging much faster since the initial charge. I would say give it a few days before you go swapping the chargers out.
i believe my captivate was slow charging for the first week or so.
Same here. Charges about 15% an.hour. was on the charger at 21% for approximately 3hrs and 56 minutes last night... if I used it at all while it was charging its almost like it would pause.. the battery stat wouldn't go up at all!

So 4 hours later i am at 82% and charging.
I did have to unplug at around 55% for about 20 min while i went somewhere.
This is ridiculous.
Ive noticed the same thing. Hopefully it will get faster.
Yea samsung is known for that on my captivate and epic which is why I need to make it through to the night so I can plug in and forget about it.
Taking my phone back to swap out. Is taking 5 to 6 hours to charge. I cannot have the phone plug in that long. While I can do I overnight I will loose charge in the day and will have to have it plug in the whole time to charge it up.
I called Samsung and they said 3 to 4 hours Max.

Yes charging is definitely slow, it took about 5 hrs to charge from 30 to 100%! This is my 2nd Infuse so swaping won't help.
I use Kindle's white charger (750ma i think), and it seems to charge relatively fast.
It is a 1750mah battery, so it will take longer.
Overall, u just need a more powerfull charger.

iPhone i think is 1400, i know Captivate is 1500...
1750 is a HUGE difference and will take longer to charge, but you should get almost 2 full days with it on good usage...

I've yet to see over 9hours with slightly heavy use. I would be glad to see 24hrs let alone 2days.
Yeah first several days are always sucky when it comes to battery life.
However, just look at official battery life specs - infuse is 8 hour vs captivate's 5.
Also standby is longer. I think it'll be fine when it's broken in and we don't play with the new toy as much.
I had to go through a few charging cycles with mine and now it's fast charging. Glad I got rid of the Atrix last Sunday.

Ya it takes time to break in I guess. I'm using kindle charger now which is probably slower. Using the charger that came with (or I know my nook color charger is 2a) would probably be faster
I seriously have no idea what the freak some of you are doing with your phones.
I think maybe some of you are possibly spoiled by NOW NOW NOW....I GET WHAT I WANT NOW OR YOU WILL PAY FOR IT WAAAAAHHHHHHH.
Patience. One week into ownership and HEAVY use after 4 days I can charge my phone 25% - 100% in 2 hours.

My phone smells like it's burnt as well. Even when I take the battery out, the phone smells like burnt where the gold connectors are. As well as the battery itself smelling. I can smell it through the USB connector on the bottom with the battery cover on.
I purchased a new battery and it still does the same thing... I don't know if it's the phone or the batteries.
The phone works fine and I get great battery life. It's not even hot. So idk if I should be concerned or not.
RELAX man ! your electrical outlet gives the not stable amplitude of voltage....thats why charger is getting hot sometimes., and smells.
Don't worry it's ok

It's not the charger though, it's the actual phone/battery.
After having the phone unplugged for hours, the area around the gold contacts of the phone/battery connectors smells like scorched metal/plastic.

Yeah I'm using Faux's LGE Stock Froyo kernel v0.0.4 with ext4 undervolted.
Stock LG Froyo rom
The smell never goes away as long as the phone is on. It has been doing it since I got the phone about 3 weeks ago before I installed the custom kernel.
Like I said, everything works fine, and the phone and battery aren't even hot. I even bought a new battery and it still does it.
Hello all. I had an issue w/ my proximity sensor so I got an AE. It was defective, so I got ANOTHER AE.
Since I owned my EVO I always get extended batteries. I bought a 2750mah and it worked great. Then it started charging slowly.
I got giftcards to Best buy for my birthday so I got a new on there. (Sedio 3400 I believe)
Now when I try to charge my phone, it will literally take 2 hrs or so to get 15-20% charged.
I use my handset heavily, but w/ my EVO it was like 2hrs = a full charge and all day heavy use got me to a minimum of 25%.
I know LTE is to blame for a little battery drain, but any ideas? Full charge to 30% in like 5 hrs sometimes. Should I order another AE?
I'm on stlck w/ the most current software btw. Thanks.

Are you using an original stock charger? Are u charging through PC?
Battery could be defective..
I was thinking if he was rooted he needed to do battery calibration since he swtiched from stock to extended battery. Clear the stats and start over fresh. Maybe I am wrong, we'll see when we answers when or if he is rooted.

I had alot of issues with charging my Incredible to the point where my phone took 5 hours to charge and 1 hour to drain. No simple answer here but if you root your phone many options exist to fix this battery issue. Recal the battery would be the first option. If you are able Root try that and come back and report.

Hey guys, last night I put my phone on charge and left it that way overnight. I woke up late to school because my phone turned off on its own, charged partially to 45%, and no alarm/calls/texts (obviously). I tried to hard reboot with vol up+ power and no luck, then I had to pull the battery for it to turn back on.
I also was told by my friend they texted me and called me a few times and I did not get any missed texts or calls.
What may the issue be?
I am on Whitehawkx's MIUI port 1.9.9.
Another issue: I have a car charger ($2 off amazon) and it turns the charge on my phone for 20sec to 2min then turns off the charge.. Or when it says charging it actually takes away battery life...
Could these two problems be linked? For instance, the charger in my car messed up my battery and now my home charger does not charge it well and the phone dies because of it?
Happened to me also .exactly the same way .

What was your solution?
I bought a 3500mAh battery off eBay gonna see if that happens on just regular battery life or just with charger. Still waiting for it to arrive though.
I need a solution ASAP though.
All the cheap chargers take away battery and do not charge my phone.
After 3 cheap car chargers. I bought one at WAL-MART. Works great.

Try charging it via a USB port on a computer and see it it happens again..
If not...its an issue some of these have where the phone over heats. One solution may be to disable wifi and gps while charging from a wall charger, but even then it can still run hot.
Thanks for the idea, I will try it. Also, idk bout overheating but my battery smells like crap?!!??!
