Ok i bought this gt n8013 with 4.1.1 and i love it all except for one very horrible thing. It charges so slow its driving me insane. I am sorry if there might be a post about this already but i searched and didnt see any. Is there a way to make it charge faster like buying a faster output charger or something? A setting? I mean wow i could grow old before this thing charges.
How slow is slow? This thing has a pretty big battery so it's going to take a while. From 20% about 5 hours is about normal.
The speed at which it will charge is governed by the device, not the charger, assuming you're using a powerful enough charger. IOW it will take about 2 amps. Even if you try a 5 amp charger, it will still only take 2 amps.
This of course is all assuming that you're using the charger and cable that came with it. That's very important.
Yea im using stock charger. It took around 7 hours to charge and compared to asus that is super slow. Asus tf300 charged in an hour and a half while browsing the web on it. Not that im an asus fanboy cause im not. They really screwed the pooch on that device with the nand and the ram but they got the charging right. Turn it off and its even faster. Now i understand slow charging keeps battery life longer but i honestly would rather pay for a new battery in a year than keep one tetheted to a cord for 2 years.
Is that with or without the dock?

No dock though if it makes it charge faster ill buy one lol. Or whatever would do the trick. I actually use this pretty well all day long about 5 to 6 days a week very very heavy. I use it for everthing. I have a few dell xt3, a dell xps i7 with 3gb gpu, 2 dell desktops and a host of other laptops ect, but the new tablets have moved into a zone that is powerful enough for me to bother with now. They, with the usb adapter and external drives ect have changed the way i do business. At any rate i in general use a tablet about 9-15 hours a day so charging as you can imagine is important. I would like very much to make this my go to device even if i have to figure out how to purchace a second battery and configure some sort of charging dock or external battery or in the best case scenario make it charge fast fast fast lol.
I was actually asking if you had the dock for the TF300.

Yea i had the dock with tf300. It actually took a few hours to charge it seperate. Took longer than the tablet itself, go figure.

I am looking for a B60K or higher series dock, but all the ones in the stores are only B50K.
If you have a DOCK with B60K or higher, where did you get it?
yeah, I too am interested in getting a B60K dock (here in the UK)
If anyone with one, that sees one available or receives one - can confirm the source location in this thread that would be really great..

Battery discharge rate(in idle) is slower than on older ones.
I got mine from Curreys website - they never had any in store but had the bundle online. Its a brilliant product!!!
B&H photo.. (because I waited for a nowinstock.com link that led to a site without tax in CA )
i got mine from amazon
So what now, B50 owners have inferior hardware and are SOL? I still don't get this....
My dock drains because it's charging my tablet. If my tablet is 50%, it shouldn't be too long before my dock is also at 50% and my tablet is at 100%. Then from here, the dock will continue to drain as it charges my tablet. Then as the dock is full depleted, the tablet will also start to deplete.
What's wrong with this?
Also, it should do the same if its in standby and the tablet needs charging. It's the same as if I were to put it on the charger. I honestly don't care how quick it depletes, I'm getting 14+ hours of use with both combined.
Got mine on amazon last week. from amazon, not an amazon merchant.

People are under the placebo effect of the new dock "lasting longer". I agree with everything you said about the dock having to constantly charge the tablet. It makes sense that it drains over 15%/hour when the Transformer is on and over 3%/hour idle. The battery on the dock doesn't last as long as the TF and some energy is lost from the transfer of electricity from dock to TF.

Could be. It is hard to know for sure. Which I why I want to test a B60 dock myself.
With the transformer and dock disconnected, transformer in standby, both batteries will last over a week. I call this long term standby. Discharge with tablet and dock disconnected is maybe 1-2% a day?
I also believe there is a function in the tablet, as well as the dock, to control when charging is stopped. This function is based around the dock's built in magnet and tablet standby switch, which is overridden to charge both devices when power is applied to the port.
I prefer the newer device versions (both tablet and dock) to go into long term standby when tablet closed on dock, exactly like when they are disconnected. If I wanted to charge something I could plug in a charger or open the tablet/dock to indicate I wanted the dock to charge the tablet. But, when closed it is better to extend battery life to maximum.
These are my opinions, and I am trying to learn.
Sent my dock for repairs, hopefully they will send me back a B6 ,instead of B5.
I got my B60K from TigerDirect in North Atlanta (Braselton). I bought my 32 GB TF one week and dock a week later. They have an advertised special on the dock right now for $149.00. They have GTabs, TF's, 7" and 10.1" Galaxy's, Zooms, Acer Iconias and a great selection of accessories for all of them... You can order online but I just walk in as I drive by there every week...
My B50 keyboard drains at around 1.5% an hour in stand-by with WiFi on. So are these B60 docks nuclear powered or something? No... B50 Docks and B60 Docks are probably the same.

lol, yes nuclear powered.
Just watched 3.5 hours worth of 720p videos, my dock drained 47%. Well within it's advertised battery life. Oh, I am running at 1.2ghz as well.
I guess I don't notice these standby issues (or "issues") because if I am going to leave the TF+dock untouhed for an extended amount of time, I turn it off. It only takes 30 secs to boot. Or sometimes I just switch wifi off with a widget I keep on my homescreen.
Seems many here did not understand the problem.
Heavy draining also occurs when the T/dock is shut off - and this is a hell of nonsense.
Draining in standby is much more as anyone would expect knowing how less T. is loosing in standby when not docked.
Problem is NOT the running time when T/Dock is switched on.

I think it is a smaller group that loves this feature. Because if you keep the tablet docked then there is no difference when your dock charges your tablet, and there is a benefit of prolonging standby. Only if you disconnect your tablet will you need it fully charged.
If Asus wants to support everyone both capabilities should be configurable.

That's fine, I'm just not sure it's possible given the design of the hardware. I honestly have no idea though....
I don't think it's worth the fuss or sending it back in. To each their own. I will continue to use and enjoy my dock.
Is there any way to speed up the charging process? a rapid charger? external charger where i can take the battery out and charge it in a charging pod faster then it charges while in the phone?
You may have a defective battery, mine charges as quickly as expected. Note: charging via a computer's USB port is always slower than charging from a wall outlet (though it does top the charge off slightly higher), though this rarely delays charging by more than 30 mins.

I understand your pain. When I had the SGS2 (coming from an iPhone), it took almost a half a day to charge up (exagerating). 30 min charge would only give you a handful of percentage. I am a bit more happy with the charging time of the Skyrocket though. Not amazingly faster, but quite a bit.

Sure androids battery life isnt great but any superphone or superlaptop isnt going to be either unless they make it twice as thick to hold a very large battery. Also when you had your iphone i bet you did not use it nearly as much and now you probobly watch videos on youtube and netflix download free music surf the web alot more. So that may be another reason you arent as happy with the battery. Cant do awhole lot with an iphone to drain the battery nearly as much.

Umm.. We talking about battery life here... It's also not "android battery life" (no such thing), it's the samsung skyrocket phone's battery life we are talking about. You can vibrate the hell out of your phone between your legs and run out of juice. But it'll take a long time for it to recharge until you can continue with your vibrating.
As for can't do a whole lot with an iphone: I drain my phone with tower defense games like Sentinel 3. Available for both platforms. Drains battery just the same.
Nobody an iPhone fanboy here (this is xda, is it not?), but then again, I dont drink anyone's kool-aid...

That's why you don't ****ing charge from the computer. Also it is really fast to charge up to around 85%, the next 15% will take much longer due to the way all lithium batteries are made.
Yes, it takes longer to charge up the Skyrocket than it does an iPhone.
Part of this is because the Skyrocket battery is a larger capacity battery than the iPhone battery.
The larger the battery, the longer it takes to charge up.
The bigger your glass of milk, the longer it takes to fill it up.
The larger your cars gas tank, the longer it takes to fuel it up.
Etc.etc.etc.
But in keeping with the thread, I'd like to second the request for any info on fast chargers. We know that USB/computer charges slower than wall outlet chargers (wall-marts). But are there any wall chargers that charge faster than others?
I doubt it i believe the phones hardware only excepts a certain voltage and amperage. So even if the charger was slightly.highrr voltage and or.amperage the phone will only accept.what the hardware allows. You can have an underpowerd charger but to prevent mishaps there designed not to be able to overpower i may be wrong but i believe thats whus up
First of all I want to let everyone know that I love this tablet. Its fast and performs multitasking like a champ. It has even revitalized the artistic side in me. Unfortunately I will have to visit BB to exchange it back to the Infinity. The battery is starting to upset me. It's taking me 5 to 6 hours from 20% to full charge if I leave it alone. Longer if I'm using it while charging and the thing that drove me to my decision was that while I was play mC3 it was actually draining! I was planning on keeping the Note but since I noticed this issue with gameplay, it will not work for me. I never had that issue with the Infinity. The things I've Attempted ... Discharged twice as suggested to maybe help with slow charging but it did not make any difference. I tried different cables and chargers and still no difference. Unless there is something wrong with my tablet I will have to part ways with it. It sickens me.
Can someone try playing a high end game for at least 10mins to see if it is happening to you? If your rooted will you try playing MC3 for 10mins. That's where I first noticed the issue I'm having. I'm hoping that its just my tablet that's defective and I can just exchange it.
Please make sure your plugged in and your device is charging. Thank you!

It bums me out though because the Infinity doesnt have this problem it still charges in 3 hours while playing games. The Note charges at about 4mV which I guess is why it takes longer to charge vs the Infinity's 7 to 8mV and is able to keep the juices flowing even while using battery hogging apps like games. I don't mind waiting 5 to 6 hours but when I want to continue playing my games and the battery is low, I would like it to charge my device as well.

You kind of implied this but you weren't clear: did you try using the supplied wall charger plug?
The charger supplied with the Note should supply a much higher current than standard mobile chargers that also supply charge via a USB port. The tablet itself detects whether the charger is a high current one, and charges at a slow rate if it determines that it isn't.
With the note off, it should have charged from empty in 3 to 4 hours. With it on, obviously it'll be longer. It shouldn't go backwards while being charged, as that would imply it's draining more than the charger is suppling, which is about 10 Watts. See this page for more information (the Tab 10.1 charger is the same as the Note 10.1 charger).

Edit: Yes I used the charger that came with the tablet. My wifes OGT 10.1 and a generic charger. They all have pretty much the same output of 4mV. I have cooltool installed and battery monitor pro to monitor the voltage. All I know is that it does drain whenever its plugged in charging and playing a high intensive game. It takes a very long time for my tablet to charge to 100% from 20% like I mentioned in my first post while in use. I play a lot of games so I need the tablet to charge properly while I play around and its just not doing that. It kept at and around 4mV nothing higher.
Its really awesome that this tablet runs so well and it can take whatever you throw at it. But one thing that is a major deal breaker for me is battery. If it cant charge properly while its in use then it will not suit my needs. Try it out for yourself and let me know if its doing the same for you. The game I play a lot is called Modern Combat 3. Its not compatible for the Note yet but since I have a back up from my SG3 and Infinity I can give you the download link. I guess I'm I the only one that's noticed this? Or is my device truly defective? I guess you guys have already a system setup to where you dont have to charge your tablets until bedtime. I always seem to have to charge it during the afternoon:/
So I ended up returning my Note 10.1 and back to the Infinity. The first night with the Infinity... Bluetooth lag sync:/ noticeable performance issue on JellyBean and available ram went down to as low as 98Mbs after restoring all my Widgets and apps. Then light bleeding on all corners. Then clicking loose screen... Grrrr! Not the same great experience with my previous experience with the Infinity. Though the Infinity has everything I need with all its ports and keyboard with extra battery. I started missing the spen and just the stablility of the Note. So the next day I gave the Noten another go in hopes that the first experience will be better with the battery issue I was experiencing. Very happy that I did! This time around my Note was not draining while I was playing my heavy extensive games and was actually charging it! Though it still takes longer to charge then I would like. I'm now happy.

i did a search on google and got a bunch of people asking the same thing and some members on here went on a rant about something different, did i search on this forum and still no dice, so according to the intro video im a dumbass and should ask the android gods for help.
i bought a tf201 dock for my infinity, other threads say its the same shizz so i bought one and have been using it for over a week. at first i noticed that the battery would drain completely over night, i went into the settings and ticked the mobile dock saver on and off as others pointed out. im still having issues where i will watch maybe a movie off the sd card, browse online for an hour or two, and when i get home the dock is drained but the tablet is at half charge. i have used the tablet alone and it holds its charge all day, so is there any other tips or tricks i can use to find my culprit? also im used to iOS so my android-fu isnt so strong. if anything im considering exchanging it at bestbuy for a tf700 dock which ive heard is the same thang.
I just bought what was supposed to be the TF700 mobile dock from bestbuy but I think I got the TF201 one. Anyway, I've had it for 2 days now, first night it got totally drained but i suspected that it was because I forgot to turn off the wifi during sleep thing but now today, I connected it again and it has been drained from 100% to 15% in 3 hours!?
Worth to know though is that m tablet has been charted from ˜15% to 50% for this, but even so, charging m tablet for 35%, should that really suck that much battery power? That would mean that I used 50% of total battery in 3 hours, is that even possible?

oh and if someone can tell me which app i can use to have my tablet+keyboard stay charged while its closed that would be great, cause if i close the lid and wait for an hour the tablet goes down about 7% and the keyboard switches on to charge it, so its constantly using juice to do something but what? i dont know....
I suggest you read all the other various Battery-related threads as opposed to making yet another one. I have made enough suggestions regarding this in those.
For starts, these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805636
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2078512
Also, the dock starts charging your tablet when the tablet gets below 70%. There is no way around this.
The TF700 has a smaller battery with less charge. Again, there is a thread about this. Several, actually.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920675
My tablet+TF201 dock has been on without charging from the electricity net for literally 3 weeks, and my tablet is at 85%, and my dock at 71%. It's not the tab itself, it's something you're doing or not doing.
So for the s7 edge I opted to get the mophie battery case because neither was water resistant and the mophie charged faster and gave more protection. With the Note 7 the mophie one isnt out yet, but the samsung one does have water resistance now. With 3100 mah i think itll be enough to get some good screen on time. It does come halfway charged so i recommend charging it before use. It works as simple as putting it on and turning it on.
I purchased this on amazon with prime shipping because the samsung website is so backed up they couldnt even give me a date when they might send it.
First up is the packaging. Its nothing special just the normal samsung packaging we've grown accustomed to.
Package contents
How it looks installed
Side comparison view
Bottom view (doesnt cover usb type c port)
Overall this will do its job but dont expect very much protection as the front is totally exposed. The charging is very slow. It does make the phone both heavier and thicker as is to be expected and makes 1 handed use harder but its a phablet so who cares. I do reccomend this case, but it is a tad expensive. On the other hand though you have to pay to play. Let me know what ya'll think. Will you get one?

Congrats man... Can you please let us know how does the battery lasts? From what i i know it does say battery is 3100mAh but on the back its also written that usable is a lot less than 3100. Anyhow let us know how much total time you could get without plugging it back in.
Also can you confirm does the backpack charges wirelessly or no.
From what I read this only outputs at 1.0a which is gonna be reaaaally slow compared to the standard 2.0a or fast charge. Does it show any specs on the box anywhere?
The backpack itself does not charge wirelessly, only charges the phone wirelessly.

It is slow, but the way i look at it is, does it need to be super fast if its on your phone like all day?
About 3 hrs to full from 16 percent.. idk if it would even make it to full if you are using it but there you go.

Yeah at one point I was just cruising Facebook and I kept getting notifications about the device charging too slow. And this was while on wifi with the display at about 50%
Alright, so update. The charger doesnt charge fast we all get that. But it does work well enough that i started today at 500am and it is now 624pm with what i would consider pretty heavy usage. Probably a good 5 hrs screen on time and my phone is at 61 percent with the charger totally depleted, i started the charger at about 80 percent battery. I didnt browse the internet too much i was playing a game called dokkan battles pretty much the whole time with screen at about 25 percent brightness because the room i work in is dark. Just some figures for you guys i will keep updating as info is necessary.
As far as the power bricks go they are nice. And significantly faster, but i like not having to carry them around or plug them in, just one button and im charging.
I think for less than half the price with more capacity and 1.8a output, I would rather have this. It isn't waterproof and no access to spen though.

That could be legit
the samsung backpack charges the phone from 0 to roughly 40% - just tested it with my completely drained note 7 - charging....did not use while charging......turned phone on - battery level was 41% on the phone for about 30 seconds, then dropped to 40%.....
backpack was completely drained at the end of this.
i agree with the OP that it is MUCH easier to have this on the back of the phone rather than lugging around a power bank and cord. however, the backpack battery case is really expensive given the mAH it provides.....
i bought two of them b/c i'm on the phone all day talking to clients from my car.....my two cents is that the cost is worth the convenience, but most others will likely disagree......
cheers.

I'm just curious, if you're in your car, why can't you just get a fast charger for your car and charge it while you're in the car?

Cords
Cords.....hate having to plug snd unplug. Also in in and out of my car all day. This way I have one backpack on my phone while the other one is connected to my fast charger in my car....
My Samsung backpack charger took the phone from 20% to full with 1 dot left. I changed wireless charging settings to slow charge only. Used it a few times while charging for light stuff. Gets a little warm while charging. I'm pretty happy with it. No cables and has pass through charging if you need it. Makes it twice as heavy though. I recommend it.
