I wanted to get an idea of how long it takes people to charge up their phones? I have noticed that my phone takes a long time. 4 hours our more usually. I'm using the stock charger with stock battery. Any body else having this problem?

Sent From My Sexy Sensation.

Even with USB charger it does not take more than 3 hrs . Direct plugin to wall socket and its done under 1.5 hrs.

Try restarting the phone. For me after this is done, charging time improves significantly. Don't know why but it works.
My phone charges in about 4 hours or so. However, my car charger does it in half the time. It may be the lame charger that comes with the phone that is the problem.

Hey guys I just got my nexus s and im wondering why my battery is charging so slowly. I started charging it while it was completely dead and it took almost 6 hours too completely finish charging. Is there something wrong?
Btw I just got the phone yesterday and this is my second charge.

Are you using the factory wall charger or? Are you charging with a wall charger or USB hooked to computer/car? I honestly do not notice this problem with the NS.

I was using an iPod wall adapter right now because i forgot mine at home..
Also I know this is offtopic but can someone tell me how to optimize the battery life on this phone? Idle why but I feel like the battery isn't that great on this phone

Mine took like 3hour 20min-ish for the first charge. 3hour-ish for the second and third.

If you have the Super Amoled version, then you can use an all black desktop screen saver, switch your email/Facebook/weather syncs to a later time (2-6 hours instead of every 30 minutes), put the phone in 2g only mode when your not browsing the web or downloading apps, etc.

What the hell does this got to do with a 6 hour charge time ? As if the display is on all the time... or as if the syncing uses 10%+ off battery. It has nothing to do with this stuff, you're just not on the same page as the problem.
Try again with the original charger plugged into the wall socket, not into USB.

Oh, I get it. Sorry, my bad.
I realised my Nexus S does take some time to charge up fully as compared to my Incredible S though.
Charger's rating is diff though after observing. 1A against 0.7mA

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
Mine is around 2 hours too. It seems pretty similar for most Android phones I've owned.
well if u find that slow i sometimes got the warning that the charger cant deliver the amps to charge so even on charger it discharges dont worry its normal when out it goes that fast i guess i usually go to sleep when i plug it in and turn it off
Mine takes around 4 :/

Yes i used cellphones before , before this the andriod device i had was Dell Streak 5 , which used to get 100% in 20minutes and gave me onscreen time of about 5hours xD , thats why wanted to make sure that the 2+ hours is normal
2 Hours is a little fast. Mine usually takes around 3 hours when charging at 15% and below.
I've been charging my phone on a regular basis. Daily in fact. But the stats tell a different story. Anyone else with the same problem? Anyone knows how to fix this?

further explain what the hell do you mean? you need to give us a bit more detail on what exactly are you encountering or specifically ask why is this happening.
I included the screen grab didn't I? It says 6 days plus on battery. When the phone lasts only a day. See the screen grab.
And this is after the JB OTA update.

Your being to broad that doesn't mean anything to me all I see is 6days and your charging it every so often what's wrong? Your phone is lasting a day? Explain what exactly your doing you need to specify and further explain what your doing.
For example
In screenie I have 4 days on one charge.
I watched some netflix and barely any usage it was very minimal. And about every other 6 to 12 hours I turn off data and switch on airplane mode as you can see.
Another thing leaving your phone on for that much time just IMO makes the battery life die faster rather than fully charging do your usual stuff till the day ends and once done at night just shut it off charge turn back on in the morn.

Isn't this a bug? It's only supposed to tell me the time the phone's been running on battery since the last charge. See screenshot from my Photon 4G for example.

there is no bug at all. it tells you the time since the phone has been on no from the last charge.
Lets say i use my phone and im around 30% and its been 8 Hours since i turned on my phone from 100%. once i plug it in it will keep track of the time my phones been on (Up time) not from last charge.
there is an app called Better Battery Stats but it causes wakelocks but it will show you those type of stats and more
I think you are mistaken friend. The discharge graph shows the time since the last recharge. See http://support.google.com/android/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2677609&topic=2677645&ctx=topic (last para) for details.

well on my Epic it will say whatever time its been on since turned regardless of being charged or not, ive tested it out on several devices i think your losing your mind haha what does it matter anyways?
Its simply telling you how long you have been using the battery not when it was off the last charge.

For me it happens when the recharge doesn't make the battery goes above 90%. The graph will "reset" when the battery is charged above 90%.
Hi

Are you charging via pc ??
Sent From My Sexy Sensation.
Have you tried a different battery? Perhaps a new battery would solve the issue? This way you can see if it's the device or battery. If your still having troubles with a new battery it could be the device or the charger It's self. Hopefully its something as simple as needing a new battery but you must do some experimenting to find out. I'd start with a new battery and see if that corrects your issue. Best of luck.

Thank you for your reaction but ive tried already other chargers.. last night something else happend, normally when your battery is down and you charge it you can use your phone right? I have to charge my phone full before i can use it..

And you recharged it abit

Haha nope not quite we mean like tap the "screen" entry so we can see how many hours of screen-on time you've had, and also possibly tap the usage graph then it shows when your phone was awake, when WiFi was on/off, when it was charging etc.

As much as I do like the phone. I'm quite annoyed at the battery life and am thinking of ways to improve it and etc. but it doesn't seem to be working. I get like 8 hours and by then it's at 30% MAX. Usually around like 20 or so. 10 hours and it's pretty much dead. Am I doing something wrong? my screen is only on for about an hour and a half or so, maybe 2 hours. Lowest brightness setting, 4g off, 2g on, wifi on.. that's about it. I mean as much as I love HTC, I can't love this battery life...

Yes you're doing something wrong or have a faulty unit. Make sure you flash a good ROM (I'm using aokp) and that's it. I have my screen at about 25% brightness and here are my stats which is quite acceptable.

@devgee Lol wow 5hr37min screen and almost 10hrs thats quite impressive, all things considered hang on how is your phone still ON at 1% not charging? Mine shuts down at 4% generally...unless I charge it till 7% and unplug, then it runs to 0% before powering down?

Might be the 1% battery mod which has been added to the viper Rom (Don't know really)
I was too surprised when it was 1%
Usually it shuts down at 3% or 4%!

Well this is what I got.
This was back on CM. That rom game amazing batt life.
I don't have the screen time pic but it was just over 4 hours. Still had 1/5 of the battery left too! With this phone I just leave gps, wifi, antenna and sync on. It's so rare for me to NOT last a full day that I see no point in being conservative about use anymore.
