Guys,
Was just wondering. how long is the battery taking to charge.. from the DHD, Iphone4, HD2.. they would pop to 100 within a couple of hours or so.. (NORMAL!!!)
This sensation... from 31% to 83% in 2.5 hours.. this is longer than i thought...
Mine took a whole 3 hours to go from 9% to 100%

I had similar problem yesterday. It sticked with %89 then I unpluged the charger and rebooted the phone. This time it says %100. Looks like there is a problem with calculation of percentage.
Yeah...mine takes a really long time to charge. I know lithium ion batteries charge slowly after it reaches 80%, but it still seems a lot slower than my previous phone.
yeah.. i rebooted and it was up to 99%.. strange. although it drained very quickly back to 87%... since been 3 hours and its not down to 77%.. so i think it is settling.. maybe an update
Desparately awaiting the root so all these irritating bugs can be addressed
mine took 4 hours yesterday....
Same puy my phone on charging in the afternoon at 10% and 3 hours later it was 75% which is not bad but still slower then usual
I plugged mine into a wall charger at 10 pm last night. At 6 am it was still showing charging and not full. Has to be a software bug. No way it can charge for 8+ hours and not be fully charged.

Sometimes it takes longer if you charge it with USB on some PCs USB ports.

How long does your nexus s battery take to charge?

crappy charger. someone asked this a day or so ago here. on phone so cant give you a link. try a search (not being a ****)
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
I donno...between 3 and 3.5 hours roughly. Pretty fast.
I'm using stock charger that came with phone.
No light indicator to indicate charging or fully charged? I've been charging via USB and it gets to 94%, so fully charged and stops charging. That's as high as it will get...
About to go work out, going to put it on wall charger and see what happens!!
Anyone else have this problem or just me because of the usb charge?
Mine only goes upto 94% br well with the wall charger.
Apparently It's a safety feature
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Mine goes to 96% typically and I've once seen it reach 97%, it's a bug, not a safety feature. As a safety feature, to prevent it from overcharging, it's supposed to charge up to 100% then stop charging until it reaches a safety level such as 95% then resume charging again. This is just a bug in the system.
Takes me just over 3 1/2 hours from dead to fully charged.
Mine goes up to 98%. Once in a while it will go up to 99%.

1500mAh/700mA = 2.1h, i.e. less than 2h.
It will never (ever) reach 100% if your charger and phone is working correctly. It IS a safety feature. Eventhough the phone is connected to the charger, it still uses battery to run. The charger stops charging when it gets close to 100% and charges some more when it's safe to do so. Meanwhile the phone uses the battery to stay alive and if you unplug it between theese charging cycles it will be anything between ~93 and ~99%.
It seems like forever honestly with this phone. My Evo would charge in about an hour and a half. This phone takes easily 3.5 hours if not more.
For some reason Samsung chargers take longer to charge a phone.
If I use my HTC charger the phone charges a lot quicker
I also read this somewhere on another site

HTC chargers are typically 1000mah and samsung chargers are 700mah... So there's the difference.
what is up with this phone i went to sprint got a new battery not knowing this was an issue of not getting to 100%. i came from att and having the htc inspire kinda like the evo i guess it would fully charge in about an hour and last me about 12 hrs of actual use. the nexus s takes about 3 hours to fully charge and i get about 5 hours with 0% brightness im thinking about going back and returning the phone.

While I do not what is draining your battery so quickly, the reason for the charge time is stated in the post above yours. The charger that came with the Nexus S is a 700mAh charger, while many others (notably HTC's) use the full 1000mAh charge possible on a MicroUSB line. More power over the same amount of time = faster charging.

how many hours of battery do you get normally?
I got to say via. Battery is a lot better than my desire hd.
This only has a 1230Mah battery. Still can't believe it lol
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Mine usually stops charging between 92 and 96 percent. I thought mine took a while to charge until I read somewhere that draining the battery completely leads to faster recharging times. I didn't keep track or anything but it does SEEM to charge faster now.
hi there
is any one have my problem?
i buy a nexus s in yesterday
but the battry cant hold charge for atleast 1 day!!
it usage is about 1 - 2 % charge in every houre!
i do workinig for example 10 minutes with the phone for setting ant etc .and then i saw the 4-6 % of battry charge go down!
or sometimes the phone is puting on standby for 30-40 mintunes
with no sms or calls,but its use about 6 % of battry chage!!!!!
and for wifi and games its even faster that it!
finally for a normal usage like 10-20 sms ,15 min call ,30 min browsing phone menues and apps and 20 web,
its going to be full empty!
and its meaning it cant keep charging for atleast 1 day!
i have the SLCD one ofcourse! => I9023 XXKD1
i couldnt find any superamoled version in my country to buy,
do you think its for the slcd screen?
i didnt think that its may cause this charging resaults for me just for the screen type!!!
my charging time is about 1.5 - 2 houres to full charge,that its not acceptable for me too!
i had a diamond2 with that poor battry.but i didnt think so the NS could be the same and even worst!
i upgrated my device to gingerbread officaly, from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 by the phone,but its still no differance!
it the back of the battry i can see the 1500MA Lion , but the battry control app i my NS shows maximun 1200 MA power!?!!
can it be the truth?
do u think its battry power completly depended to rom and radio version to fix?
if that is,can any one intreduce me a good and fast and bugless rom and radio version?
thanks a lot :roze
Hey guys, I have a problem with my Sensation. Whenever I fully charge it and then remove it from the charger, use it for like an hour or two, the phone still thinks the battery is 100% charged. When looking inside the battery usage, it shows the graph with 0s underneath it, while in the previous screen where you see the apps battery usage it says 2h 5m 13s or something like that.
This wouldn't really be a problem, but when I started up Maps Navigation and plugged the charger in the car, it wouldn't charge because it still assumed the battery was 100% charged!
Any of you also having this problem? Thanks in advance!

Does it stay 100% forever? Then you may have the inexhaustible battery... (not sure if this is grammaticaly correct )
I wouldn't consider this a problem. You can download a battery monitoring app from the market and see what's going on with your phone and if the 100% that it's rerporting is correct. Also, check that the battery contacts are clean.
Not sure my phone does that but it can be on half charge then when I reset phone it's gone up a notch. This morning it didn't look like it had charged although it had been plugged in. When I switched it was on orange then it did the charging animation for a few seconds without charger plugged in then stopped on full. Odd.
Mine stays on 100% for a couple of hours too, has done since I got it.
I think perhaps HTC are "cheating" (or using "creative coding", whichever expression you prefer) in the way they report the battery percentage. Make the battery appear better than it is. Just a theory, of course.

That happens to me a lot too. Woke up this morning, phone had been charging for nearly 5 hours, but was only on 82%. After a couple of minutes of the screen being on, it had leapt to 100% and stopped charging.
Also, once the battery is below about 20%, it will sometimes drop 2-3% at a time. Odd.
Looks like they totally screwed the battery meter hardware or something in the software. Remembers me of my iPod touch
Experienced the say.. hopefully either it will auto be fine due to charge cycle or via updates

Thanks for your answer, so it's probably a general problem that may be fixed by either HTC or the Cooks that make ROM's for our beautiful new phones

I received my phone yesterday and charged it for 4-5 hours throughout the day. Last night it was close to 100% while I was playing with it (off the charger). I then charged it over night for 9 hours. This morning the battery says it's at 50% but has 15 hours left.
Weird :\
Charge the battery with the power turned off overnight, in the morning unplug the charger, turn the phone on, and shutdown again, and plug the charger back for 30
mins phone still turned off. After that start using the phone normally, this way you calibrate the phones battery meter properly.

Is anyone else having problems with there battery charging super slow? It's been on the charger for almost 1 hour and only increased by 7%. I am using the stock charger.
Last night it was at 8% when I put it on the charger and after 3 hours it was only at 62%.
Is this normal?
yep it took me about 6 hours to charge completely with usb from pc. is it because i charge from pc? gonna charge using stock charger after battery depletes and report back with the results.

HTC charger charges with 1 amp of current. Standard USB charging (ie through a pc) is 0.5 amp. It will take at least twice as long charging via pc USB.

Mine just now seemed to be taking forever to charge (4+ hrs, only up to 80%) so I took a chance and rebooted it. Came back on saying 100%. WTF? I've previously noticed some odd behavior in that unplugged it would sit at 100% for a very long time, so now I'm even more suspicious.

Same with me, all night chage only 66% ( hot) but reboot - 100%
Mine took almost 5 hours charging from 4% to 100% yesterday, using the proper 1A mains charger. My HTC Desire could fully charge from USB in less time than this!
I have problem with charging 2. from 14% @ 8AM till now 79% @ 1PM..
HD2 charged battery way, way faster...
edit:
after restart 93%
I figured out what's causing the problem. You have to use the cable it came with. Every time I user a different cable my battery charges writers but then I switch to the stock cable and everything is fine.

Sometimes the phone doesn't display the battery % correctly, so when it reaches 100mA during charge, restart your phone. Most probably you will see 95% to 100%, or that's what I normally noticed.
Note: I believe our battery starts charging at 100mA when it's almost full, so let it charge for about 10mins more after it reaches 100mA then restart your phone. Tedious work but no choice as of now
Guys check if are having any CPU intensive apps running (even in the background) if charging takes that long. Mine is getting charged in 2,5 hours via AC

Hi.
I think this is good place for my question.
I have 1.5year old Sensation. I bought it with GB 2.3.3 (of course), the updated OTA to ICS 4.0.3.
Charging time was always 2.5hours. I was always charging from 14% (4%) to 100% with original charger.
Now, the charging time is 4.5 - 5hours for few months already.
First 2hours, it's charged to 75%, and then it is slow as hell. Another 2.5-3hours from 75% to 100%.
I am using original charger, when I am charging, built in "battery meter" says "charging AC", so the cable is detected correctly.
I did factory reset (didn't help). I still have stock ROM, no root.
Can anyone tell me why it is getting slower and slower?
Time to buy an anker

I got similar issues and I bought a new battery(not stock one or Anker) for my sensation. It still takes 6-7 hours to finish a charge. I found that charge becomes very slow when the battery charges to 60-70%.
Does anyone one know the solutions?

So I wrote an email to repair center, since my Sensation is still under warranty period.
They replied me it can be either motherboard fault, or faulty battery.
So I sent it to them and they replaced the battery.
Now, the charging time is 2hours and 15mins, I'm very happy
Hello.
I'm following the recommendation to fully discharge the battery, then plug it in wall charger and fully charge without turning it on, then reset the battery stats.
Well, it's been 4 hours so far and about 40% charged? is this normal? My old Atrix 4G was fully charged in about 3 hours...
should be about 3-4 hours but I never let mine get to 0, usually 10% is as low as I go.
No does not sound normal. Ive read others saying 3 hours fully charged. Id take a digital multi memeter and check the.voltage and amperage of your recepticals. Mabye you have a very low amp breaker. Which is probobly shared with the lighting. If your wiring is 12gauage then you can switch to a 20amp breaker but if its 14wire then no more then 15.... might also be your charger though. Id do some testing
bout 3 hours here.. fully charged for me
hmmm put OEM cable that came with the phone, which is twice as short and thinner then the one I used before and in one hour it charged from 50 to 100%
Ah ha. U didnt mention that in your op. But that is good
Takes about 3-4 hours from 10% for me.
My Samsung Infuse came with a lower quality charger (0.7A) and took close to 7-8 hours from 10%.
The Skyrocket comes with a 1.0A charger and charges much quicker.

My first Skyrocket took about 4 or 5 hours to charge 0% to 100%. I returned that one because the BT died. The new one charges in 2 hours and 30 minutes. BTW, my wife's skyrocket BT just died as well. This will be the third returned Skyrocket out of 4.
I blame it on cable. Now it takes 3-3.5 hours, thou I dont let it go to 0
Can you give more details

I notice different charging rates with different cables
Received my #Note5 last wed. Brand new out the box. When i got it the battery was at 5%. No problem. I turned it off until i got home. Good home. Charged it. I noticed after an hour of "fast charging" the battery wad at 93%. I fell asleep, woke up 2 hours later. Battery was still at 93%. I unplug and decided to let it discharge so i can try again.
Second charge, the battery gets to 100%, but then quickly drains down to 92%. (No exaggeration, the battery went down to 92% in 5 minutes). This happens again on the 3rd charge. Abs since then i only get about 4 to 5 hours of battery life with regular use. (Nothing excessive) it even dies quick on standby and on power save mode. Did i hey a bad Note? I've read reviews about the battery being pretty good, but I'm just not seeing it. Wondering if i should take it back to sprint. I'd it worth it?
Exchange the device. Won't hurt to try.
Please take it to a Sprint service and Repair store and have them look at it. This does not sound like the correct behavior. Thanks!
I did. The guy said it's something internally wrong. So I'll be getting a new one. ?
I am glad that worked out!
Smh. Same problem. New note, had it about 3 weeks now, battery still giving me problems. Im not doing anything crazy or putting any strain on the battery and thus is whats happening. Is it just me or what? Seems like im the only one having an issue with the battery life. Smh

Try this before taking it back.
plug your phone to the charger and wait until it shows 100% then.. Dial *#0228# unplug your phone and hit quick start, you may see a popup warning , just hit OK, unlock your phone and you will realize your phone have been lying to you
Plug it again and repeat until level 100% matches with your battery icon showing 100%, you may not need it, or maybe need to do it 2 or 3 times
I have not had any issues on my note 5 but it worked great on my note 3.
Ok so update.. monday when i got home i decided i wasnt going to fast charge my battery, instead use the regular charger adapter. Betsy is at 100% tried the *#0228# said the battery was at 100%. Went through regular use and the battery ended up last about 12 hours. (Minus a few hours downtime for me being sleep ill give it a good 8 hours) ok cool. So after ut got down to about 20-15% i charged it again with the regular adapter. This time (with sleep time added) i got about 16 hours on the battery. Ok cool. Another regular charge, 16 hours but i charged it here and there in between. Today around 4 i decided yo fast charge it. 100% around 5 o'clock. Its now 3:16am my time and im at 29% 9 and half hours on the battery... i also noticed in the beginning on fast charge the battery died a lot faster. So i think what ill do is charge it with the regular adapter for now on unless I'm in a situation where i have no choice but to fast charge like if im at work or something. All is well now. ???
