[Q] correct way to charge tablet - General Questions and Answers

Hi
When I use a 10" tablet at home and have to use it for 3-4 hrs. even the batt.is fully charged,is it better for the batt if I have a wall charge plug-in to charge it........to save the cycles life on charging or it'll do more damage to the batt?? It seems to have some different opinions.
Tks.

I would prefer using it without charger: I think its riskier to damage the connecter from your tablet while handle it with cabel.

Thanks for your answer.

Everething mekes the battery get hot is bad for the battery.
When you charge the tablet just don't play games and do heavy tasks

Charger for HOS ?

Is the samsung galaxy s1/s2 is good for HOS ?
Please recommend me about some chargers.
Voltage should be the same. Better off checking that for sure. It should work if they have micro USB ports as well. I charged my HOS with my onld N1 charger.
Yes, i use the GS2 charger and i have no problem whit it.

Ok thanks.
And I need more comments in order to be sure

Charger combatibility

So i have a chinese android tablet. On it's back its written: "2500mA/5v". I think 2500mA is the capacity of the battery and 5v the input supported (or some kind of that). The original charger was an ac adapter with 1000mA but it's now broken. I saw in a shop a usb charger with "Output:5V 2000mA". I was wondering if i can use that charger on my tablet without damaging the device?
P.S.: Sorry if i had grammar mistakes.
I would use 1000mA again

Yeah i would too but i can't find any 1000mA charger and with usb charging the battery drains with about 5% per minute. Would 2000mA hurt?
P.S.: Thanks for answering.
Edit: Also do you know why is the battery draining so fast? And when using it for like playing Minecraft Pocket Edition it gets very hot.
And btw 5% per minute??? Do you think a factory reset would resolve the extreme draining problem?

[Q] Does a usb powered battery "last less"?

I bought myself one of those portable batteries to charge my phone and tablet on the go. It always seems like when I charge my Nexus 5 from the wall charger the battery lasts longer than when I do it from my car usb, or the portable battery itself. I could get 90% from the wall charger and get to 90% from the portable battery and the latter seems to drain faster. Am I just am I imagining things?
The problem with using a battery pack is that you are filling up with poor quality electricity. If you charge from the wall you know exactly where it has come from, kind of like fair trade organic apples

is it possible that when you top up when out and about, you are more likely to be using your device a bit heavier (more screen-on or active time), while wall charger implies charging at home therefore implies using device a bit less?

[SPAM] iVoler USB C 10000 mAh Power Bank (lots of pics)

I was provided this unit for free for an unbiased review.
<MODERATOR EDITED - SPAM REFERRAL LINKS DELETED>
Pros:
- build quality: housing is all plastic, but not necessarily the cheap kind. Feels solid, no rattling or sharp edges. Very well finished.
- includes two cables: 1x USB C and 1x USB A-C (CheckR compliant)
- packaging isn't annoying and all recyclable
- really simple operation; just plug and play with no need to press any buttons of any kind to start working
- rapidly charges the Nexus 6P at 2920 mA using included USB C cable
Cons:
- Total output is only 5V at 3A (was not able to simultaneously charge my Nexus 7 and Nexus 6P rapidly); total sum of output current between both devices was slightly over 3000 mA
- style; totally subjective but the design looks dated IMO
- legacy USB port does not hold the USB cable head firmly. Cable wiggles a tad, but does not come out.
Other thoughts:
- length of included cables are both 17 cm from tip to tip
- "power" button turns off bank while plugged to phone, as well as checking the capacity
- dimensions of power bank: 13.8cm x 6.2cm x 2.2cm
- able to charge my 6P a cumulative total of 196% before running out of juice
Would I buy it again: Likely. Few other options on the market, at the time of this writing, that can support 5V/3A USB C output. Not particularly pricey.

Good review, any comparison shots next to the phone for size? How many charges are you getting before recharging the pack?
Bad ass ruler.

Under "other thoughts" there are measurements. My 6p is my only camera now that I sold my old phone. I haven't really tried to cycle through the battery entirely yet, mostly because it would be too much hassle to do it. It would require me to turn off my phone while it's charging so that it's not consuming while being charged. I was able to charge to full from 35% and not even one of the lights turned off.
I'll charge my phone through the bank only for the next few cycles until it empties and report back

Only the baddest of rulers makes it into my arsenal of measurement tools.
wow, this looks identical to the monoprice 14202 unit, with the difference being that the monoprice one doesn't support charging the battery pack @ 3A via the Type C port.
So far, most reviews of the monoprice version seem to indicate that capacity is way overrated. If the pack is fully charged, how many lights do you have before/after charging the 6P?
I'm wondering if they are just sharing the same case design, or if the internals are different (more likely unless iVoler misstated the specs).
Update:
Charged my phone a total of 190% while phone was still on at all times, before the bank was finally drained from full
It does look alot like the Monoprice 10,000mAh that I have ... its rated for 2 full charges on 6P but after just one charge, it goes from 4bars down to 1. Does this one perform better?

This I've definitely will last more than one whole charge (phone on during charge but relatively idle). I'm gonna cycle it one more time and see what I get
Don't forget that the 10.000mA capacity is not the one you can use in total. In theory you can expect a usable capacity of about 6290mAh at a efficiency of about 85% if this battery pack really allows you to charge a Nexus 6p nearly 2x...best case. A more realistic approach is a efficiency of about 75% which would result in a usable capacity of about 5550mAh.
So this last cycle, I charged the phone a total of 196% before all lights turned off.
This was with the phone still turned on, but idle.
Very promising, thank you for the data! Do you happen to have any Apple devices? Would love to know how well it does with other devices (want to make sure it's at least as good as my older 10,000mAh RAVpower unit).

Sorry, never owned anything apple[emoji1]
My wife decided to get a nexus 6p so I started buying her accessories and got her this backup battery. The power button does work, you just have to hold it down for about 5 seconds and it completely shuts the battery off. I tested it while it was plugged in charging my phone. I also kind of disagree about the design looking dated, I think it's one of the better looking batteries I've seen in the last few years and it's not a fingerprint magnet or just another boring black piece of plastic.

190%? Not sure what you mean. How can you charge more than 100%?

Yes, I do mean a cumulative total of 196%. More precisely, the first charge was from 20%-100%, followed by another 20%-100%, then 70%-100%, and finishing from 82%-88% before all lights turned off

Have you tried the PowerCore+ by Anker? I'd trust them instead of iVoler, but it's only a 20.000mah and 50€, too big and expensive

I have not. I'll go ahead and contact them regarding a test unit to see what they say. Thanks for suggesting an alternative[emoji106]

I just received one of these today. Here are a couple of photos next to my Nexus 6p. Haven't used it yet to charge with. Will be using it on an upcoming trip to charge a 6p and a 5x. The Ravpower at 20100 mAh was just too big to carry around.

Enjoy it. It's a quality product for sure and it can last a few charges on smaller devices. I'd expect it to fully charged both your 6p and 5x at least once each and have a slight bit left in there. I've enjoyed using mine as a travel charger for those days with heavy usage.

Slow charging? Please help!!!

Hi guys i have a little question my S6 charging very slow yesterday it was good but today when plug in the USB cable to charge it say 30% 4 hours to charge usually it is 2 hours 30 min, if i unplug the cable en plug it back in than it is normal 2 hours 30 min again but after 1 min it jumps to 4 hours if i try another cable stays the same. but i was looking for a fix some say if..
if you go to dialer app and type *#9900# and you get an list on the bottom of the page it says “Low Battery Dump” you can turn it on or off does some buddy know what this is and what does it do
I am on the latest beta 6.0.1 marshmallow Galaxy s6 G920F
I already had to change 3 cables because of fast charging not working.
Maybe your spare cable is defective too?
BTW, even 2:30h hours is too long. Normally a S6 takes 1:20h to charge from 0 to 100...

I changed the cable to but still the same if i pull down the notification panel its says use original cable and charger but is the one out of the box its very frustrating me and it says 4 hour to charge if i pull out the cable and putt it back in its good for 1 min and i get the message again use original cable and charger and again 4 hours do you guys think it is the cable because if i put the phone in fast charging mode in battery settings its working very good no issues only with normal charging gives the message use original cable and charger

it took 4 ours to fully charge from 30 to 100 % fast charging off.the weird thing is if i putt fast charge on its doing very well 50 min from 30 to 100 %. but the thing is i dont want it ti fast charge because the battery life will be bad if i use it every time or am i wrong ????
I had the same issue. Does MTP work when you connect your phone to your computer? If not, your S6's USB port is probably dead.
Hi, I had same problem. My S6 needed about 6 hours to charge. When I tried search forums etc, I tried to to push usb cable into charger and I found out, it is possible (I think, I inserted as was possible)... So now I am charging in cca 1,40 hours...

I think you shouldn't worry about fast charge unless you plan to stick with this phone for more than three years.
Also, fast charge is faster than normal only in the beginning of the charge cycle. As you get closer to 100, it slows down to preserve battery life.
Fast charge is made to give that fast boost when you're almost without battery on the go.

i do not know for what time i want to use this phone mayba 1 year or 2 but i think if you fast charge the cells in the battery die faster is this true or am i wrong ??
i am charging my phone now fast charging disabled it is on 50 % and it says 1 hour and 27 min i just dont get it sometimes it says 4 hours to charge and the other time shorter i just dont know what the problem is can it be that i dont pushed the usb cable not far enough in the charger that its taking to long to charge ?? can this be the problem or what its very strange
