Hi,
It can take that long sometimes.

For me its all the time . After 50% charging takes forever

If I completely discharge my phone, it usually takes anywhere between 4 and 5 hours to charge it back up to 100%. This is assuming that I do not use the phone as it is charging.

Same on my Sensation. But I´ve heard from People, they charge in about 2-2.5h...
Its crazy somehow

The fastest method is to turn off phone and charge it. But it also depend from charger to charger. For example I had a faulty usb cable and phone never did charge while powered on. I discovered faulty cable with "CurrentWidget". It displays in mA current charging. It was always drawing power from phone. After changing cable it was charging.
Conclusion is higher mA the charging is faster...

What blue-yu said, to a point.
The wall charger that came with my phone is faster than using the usb cable.
Also, powering down the phone so its doing as little as possible while its charging will help.

Yes. A USB port on a computer is limited to 500ma. The wall charger can output 1000ma (double the USB).

I have noticed with generic charges, it can take between 3-5 hours as well. With a OEM HTC charger, it usually takes me about 2 hours from 10% to 100%.

I have found on market 2000 mA charger. Since HTC recommend max 1000 mA, is it safe to try the oem charger?

I use wall charger original what comes in sensation box. On pc battery monitor says i need 8 hour charge . Starting to think something is wrong. Before i was desire s and that charging from 10-100% in like max 2 hours

Official chargers connect the 2 data pins together to let the phone know it is connected to ac so it draws the full 1000ma if data pins are not shorted the phone will think its connected to USB and only draw 500ma
Use a battery app to check if your charger is registering as ac and drawing the full amount
"Battery mix" is an example of an app that will tell you

the aftermarket battery (chichitec) that i'm using has been chargign up considerably faster than the stock one. it also provides a lot more usage time.

On my mains 550ma SE microusb charger it takes me approx 3hrs from 0-100% , or 4hrs from notebook usb, according to battery monitor widget pro.
John.

I usually charge my phone to full after it drops below 30%.
It always takes my Sensation 2.5 hours via wall charger.

It seems the battery charging time as well as boot up time has something to do with the recovery you use.
With Clockwork mod recovery, my bootime was 7-8 minutes (I tried clearing cache partition and all, with fast boot disabled) and battery charging use to take 5 hours.
Since two days, I have installed default recovery and now my boot time is about 1 minute, and charging time is around 2-3 hours. This time also, i have fast boot disabled and cleared cache partition after installing the recovery.
Can anybody else do this experiment and let us know the result here?

Dunno about recovery and bootup. Bootup for me is about 25-35 sec from cold boot, 4ext touch recovery. I will try that ap from amrket and i will see if there is something

LED lights up green when at 99% charged?

I've been watching my phone charge up to 100% and the LED would light up green like it should, but then a minute later it would drop to 99% and still stay green and it looks like it stops charging (normally you see the battery icon charging up)...so i unplug the USB and plug it back and the LED goes orange and starts to charge back up to 100% any ideas...
Ive done the battery calibration procedure with the batt calib app. after flashing Elegencia GB
can't believe it...is this a huge deal?

well tonight i'll try too and see if i get that
My green light turns on at 99% while charging
What a thread . Lol

If you leave it long enough it will switch between 99% and 100% just depends what you are doing on the phone. You may be doing something that takes slightly more power than charge from a usb port can give. Remeber charging from the usb is not the same as charging from the wall socket.
It is a reduced charge and doesn't last as long as charging from the mains.

HTC Sensation Xe takes FOREVER to recharge!!!

Hey guys basically my problem is that my htc sensation xe takes forever to recharge . I'm using a usb cable extension and a nokia usb cable that is connected to the black plug that htc gave with my phone my phone takes forever to charge!
And also while the phone is on charge and im using the internet the charge goes down!? And sometimes i receive a message saying the htc isn't receiving enough power while its on charge.
I have never used a phone where the battery goes down while using it while the phone is on charge!
Can someone tell me what i should do? Is there any other more powerful chargers i can get!?
Please im desperate if there isn't a solution im going to have to sell this (great) phone.
Thank you
It pays to have the original HTC charger and USB cable if I where you I look into getting both HTC charger and USB cable

If this configuration of the cables worked for you before, and had become faulty now it might indicate a battery problem.
If you're on stock battery it meant it had been used for over a year, probably close to 500 charging cycles. Unfortunately some batteries do not live that long
But just to be sure, try to charge the phone with a different charger (1A 5V) when the phone is turned off - really off, take the battery out, wait a few seconds and put it back inside, than charge.
Wait an hour and turn back on, see if the charge rate is more acceptable.
While the battery is in your hand, feel it and see it has not swollen, no shiny visible cracks and no tiny oily liquid marks. Those are positive signs for a dying battery.
Good luck

I'm guessing it's charging via 'USB' mode and not 'AC' mode. Check the battery menu while charging to confirm. If it is actually charging via 'AC' mode, the mAh must be very low.
I bought a 1000mA charger with the certified 'tick' for Australian standards for $10 off ebay. As I purchased my Sensation from Singapore, which came with an incompatible adapter obviously.
Takes about 1.5hrs to charge. Maybe 2hrs+ while playing 3D games (most intensive)
Not the same one but very similar. Don't worry about it saying it's for the Incredible, as its the same spec charger. This will definitely fix you problem. Did for me... Initially I had the same problem using the supplied HTC USB cord plus an old generic iPhone USB adapter. Which resulted in 'USB' charging mode and very low mAh.

Try with different cable because some cables have resistance (or ferit or both) inside and lower the current given to your phone that make it longer to charge (maybe that nokia cable has this ) See what I mean in attached file (make notice that some cables has this iside the microusb ot usb nozzle ) And try with no so long cable due to resistance of cable(not so big but making a difference ) It is not charger issue I think

[Q] Desire S takes longer too charge

My HTC Desire S is taking 4-5 hours from 10-10% charging, I am using TC U250 adapter to charge my phone and it also takes to much time when charging from 95% to 100%,can some one explain me this,
are you using the native HTC charger? if you use it, there shouldn't be such a problem.

I contacted HTC about that, they said its normal.
True story it is normal! I need 3 hours for full charge from 0-15% to 100%
You have some Roms that charge in 1 hour very fast
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
it depends on charging current, original htc charger is 1A

Is fast charge good for our phones/batteries?

When fast charge is enabled, my phone's anker extended battery charges wicked fast! About 1 percent every minute. However I'm concerned that it may degrade the battery and/or circuits of the phone over time. Is it wise to have it enabled at all times? Or just when I need a quick boost? Thanks.

I've always read a slow charge is best.. maybe use the fast charge just when you need a boost, like you said. Hope this helps. Best wishes
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
What fastcharge does is increase the charging current when you connect your phone via USB to a computer. It increases the power current to slightly less than the amount of current you get when you plug your phone into a wall charger. That being said, fastcharge cannot harm your battery because the highest electrical current it allows you to get from the USB port is less than the electrical current you get from a wall charger.
Thanks for the explanation.

[Q] Nexus S wont charge on GPS

When i'm using GPS (i use iGO Primo 2) and i charge the nexus s with car charger after a few minutes when the phone starts to heated
the charging stops and the battery discharging normally like there's no charger on it.
I tried the car charger on home with 12,5V input, i put the charger on phone and run gps simulation (with iGO) and this is happen again, after
a few minutes the charge stops (then the battery had 48-49 celcius). i wait a few minutes and the battery continues to discharging (normally)
at the same time i plug the wall charger on the phone and the battery wont charge, continue to discharge! when the temp falls and after a few minutes then the battery starts to charging again!
What should i do?
Maybe try to turn your brightness down or kill background processes. It seems your battery stops charging when the temperature is very high, which is good!

what should i do for that?
i don't have battery for gps! its dead after 2-3 hours
and it don't charge! i don't have any apps in background
Hmm can you maybe remove the battery and keep the phone on via charging cable. This means the phone would be connected to your car and on while you use the gps. When done, put the battery back in!
