Battery Charging Time - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

Is anyone else getting really long battery charging times on their S7's? It seems to take close to 4 hours or sometimes more for me to get a full charge (non edge variant). I just plugged in for two hours and got 25%. My S6 edge would charge MUCH quicker and can go from 0 to 100 in under an hour and a half. Would the fact that my S6 edge was on a custom ROM make any difference?? Kind of getting frustrated with this 820 possessor.

I go from 0 to 100 in about an hour and a half. You might have a lemon or your charger is needing replaced.

Yea mine charges from 0 to 100 in about 30 to 45 mins

I was using my S6 Charger cause it looks identical, but thanks for the advice, the new cord says Fast Charging when I plug it in and goes much faster. Thank you!!

Infuse time to charge battery

What's up with this, i had my phone plug in now for two hours and is at 49% from 5% that it was when i plug it in. I am using the wall charger.
Is this normal, or do i have a bad battery.
It would take my old phone about hour to fully charge (iphone).
seems really slow. I was using my wall charger also might try and different wall charger or PC next time

I would think the PC would take even longer since it puts out less power via USB. I'll give it a shot next time i drain the bat.
I wonder if we will see it speed up after the first few full drains. It just seems really weird might be a bug who knows.
My first charge was awfully slow, it's been charging much faster since the initial charge. I would say give it a few days before you go swapping the chargers out.
i believe my captivate was slow charging for the first week or so.
Same here. Charges about 15% an.hour. was on the charger at 21% for approximately 3hrs and 56 minutes last night... if I used it at all while it was charging its almost like it would pause.. the battery stat wouldn't go up at all!

So 4 hours later i am at 82% and charging.
I did have to unplug at around 55% for about 20 min while i went somewhere.
This is ridiculous.
Ive noticed the same thing. Hopefully it will get faster.
Yea samsung is known for that on my captivate and epic which is why I need to make it through to the night so I can plug in and forget about it.
Taking my phone back to swap out. Is taking 5 to 6 hours to charge. I cannot have the phone plug in that long. While I can do I overnight I will loose charge in the day and will have to have it plug in the whole time to charge it up.
I called Samsung and they said 3 to 4 hours Max.

Yes charging is definitely slow, it took about 5 hrs to charge from 30 to 100%! This is my 2nd Infuse so swaping won't help.
I use Kindle's white charger (750ma i think), and it seems to charge relatively fast.
It is a 1750mah battery, so it will take longer.
Overall, u just need a more powerfull charger.

iPhone i think is 1400, i know Captivate is 1500...
1750 is a HUGE difference and will take longer to charge, but you should get almost 2 full days with it on good usage...

I've yet to see over 9hours with slightly heavy use. I would be glad to see 24hrs let alone 2days.
Yeah first several days are always sucky when it comes to battery life.
However, just look at official battery life specs - infuse is 8 hour vs captivate's 5.
Also standby is longer. I think it'll be fine when it's broken in and we don't play with the new toy as much.
I had to go through a few charging cycles with mine and now it's fast charging. Glad I got rid of the Atrix last Sunday.

Ya it takes time to break in I guess. I'm using kindle charger now which is probably slower. Using the charger that came with (or I know my nook color charger is 2a) would probably be faster
I seriously have no idea what the freak some of you are doing with your phones.
I think maybe some of you are possibly spoiled by NOW NOW NOW....I GET WHAT I WANT NOW OR YOU WILL PAY FOR IT WAAAAAHHHHHHH.
Patience. One week into ownership and HEAVY use after 4 days I can charge my phone 25% - 100% in 2 hours.

[Q] How long does the initial charge take?

Hoping to receive my One X tomorrow at work and I'm wondering if I will have time to give it a full charge before I leave for the day. Does anyone know how long the initial charge takes?
Mine came with quite a lot of charge. I don't think it matters if you charge it fully the first time. The batteries don't have memory.

Great, thanks!
A full charge from 0 to 100 for me is 3 hours ish using a wall charger

Well, i actually did not turn on the phone immediately and charged it for almost 70-80 mins when i received it yesterday.
Today morning again i charged the phone switched off and it took around 1.5 hrs to charge upto 90% (from 3%)

The note battery is 2500 mah vs a little less than 1900 mah for the HOX so yes it will charge faster than the note.

I think this is the most useful answer in this thread. Is the initial charge the same as a normal charge or do we need to lose charging for like 14hrs?
When I first got mine the initial charge was over 2 hours and I didn't even turn it on until it was finished charging.
Sent from my HTC One X
Just an FYI, the initial battery life (like the first few charges) will be abysmal, don't judge the phone based on that. Give it like 3-4 charges and you will see your battery life improve tremendously.

Dunno bout the Xperia P... It uses the NovaThor chipset unlike ours which uses Qualcomm... This list is of the qcomm devices n hence wont include the XP..
On a side note, the NovaThor chipsets are supposedly said to be power efficient n hence that might be the reason behind faster charging?
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2
Oh, I thought the P used qualcomm as well... Ah well, not that I care, its slow as hell compared to our S anyway
Guys, how long does it take for your HOS to charge from 0 to 100%? I timed mine and it became fully charged exactly after 3 hrs and 15 mins..
Sent from my HTC One S4 using xda-developers app
2.5-3h from 10% to 100%. I never let my hos run out of juice. Its like begging for a softbrick.

So 3 hrs is quite normal.. well i'm only doing the full drain to full charge atleast once a month, is it bad?
Sent from my HTC One S4 using xda-developers app
Yes, thats bad. The S is famous for not wanting to boot once the battery goes flat. Ive experienced it twice myself, resulting in having to fastboot flash the boot.img before the device started again.
Others have experienced similar, but not identical, issues.
The type if issue varies, but we can be quite sure of one thing - letting the battery run flat on the S is a bad idea.
And in general, letting a battery go flat isnt healthy. Its more healthy to start charging it when it hits 10-5% than when it hits 0% and shuts off.
AW: Quick Charge 1.0 by Qualcomm
Nope, thats perfect! Charging when ever it is possible and one charging in month from 20%-30% to full.

mine does charge in about 3 hours too. but i found it very slow? my old phone, galaxy s 1, with a bigger battery ( bought one from ebay with 1800 mah ) charged twice as fast. from 10% to 100% in about 1,5 hrs, even with original 1500mah battery it was that fast ... without that great " quickcharge " feature from qualcom. just wondering why everybody says 3 hours is fast. even a big test site here in germany ( www.chip.de ) said that the hos charge time is slow.
just saying
It take 4 hours to full charge (10% ->100%)

I'm a pretty light user and can get 36+ hours (more realistically closer to 48+) on a charge, so I get the best of both worlds

Impact on Battery Life with Quickcharge
I have not experienced any Battery Problems jet and i'm charging it every night and my Battery is fine.
quick charger is in the box still. I use what was a Blackberry tablet charger 1.8A with fixed 6ft MicroUSB cable attached. I charge every night and after the first couple days where I was using it constantly I've made it every day without having to charge up. 15-16 hours with more to go before hitting the sack. I always charge when sleeping.

I know a lot of people are getting below average battery life but in my case I'm very impressed with the battery life. I had my first S6 which was decent in battery life for a month, then I switched to the LG G4 for a couple of weeks and now I'm back on the S6. Battery life has really impressed me granted I'm rooted and running a custom rom.
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
Running rooted stock on ATT, Google Now and location history off, location set to GPS only, I typically get 16-18 hours off charger with 3.5-4 hours screen on. Mostly Facebook/browsing/forums/g+. No gaming.
just as 1st reply...
yes
I'm getting a minimum of 5 Hours screen on time over 48 hour period and around 5.5 to 6 over 24 hours. Quickcharge just means I won't be caught short if i'm using GPS a lot.
I am still testing differences between regular Samsung charger and the quick one ... And for now I think if you charge your phone over night with the regular Samsung charger it gets a bit better ... But I still need more time to come to dome conclusive answers ...

For me it seems to as I don't think there's any problem with the battery on my S6. I always have portable battery packs with me, but I LOVE the rapid charger, it's one of my favourite features. I love getting up seeing my phone at like 15% because I forgot to charge it and thinking crap have to go to work in 20 mins, and being able to plug it in and have it be at like 50% in such a short time period. I find it good enough that it's the only charger I use and make sure I don't lose it!

Is "quick/fast" charge working for anyone?

I recently purchased an S7 (no edge) and it mentioned it had a quick/fast charge feature.. great! Faster charging! However, I noticed that with actual use (with screen off I might add) it doesn't really charges that quickly over the normal charge. Maybe a few minutes less, but not much of a difference..
Anyone else having this issue? Using the global version, no root/no ROM (for now).
Of course it works, are you using the oem charger and cable?
Also make sure Fast Charging is enabled under Settings - Battery

Yes, using the stock charger that came with the device. Thus far, returned the S7 when I first received it due to the same 'fast/quick charging' not working. So, this is the second S7 device I'm having.

Fast Charging is enabled by default, so ya.. that's not the problem either.
Fast charging means tha from 0 to 60 % it charges fast (30 minutes) and after 60% it charges with normal speed.

are you sure about this information man ?
it works but you have to have it enabled in settings/battery.
Recently I noticed that my fast charger wasn't doing it's job as the charge rate was 'standard'. So I checked with old charger from Note 4 and it's cable, it worked wihtout issues as 'fast charge'. I ended up finding out that the problem was the cable I was using, it got damaged because of use and it's not helping the phone to detect the fast charger. So, just in case, change your cable and check again.

This is a stupid question, but did you plug in the cable correctly into the charger? Mine was like half-assed into it the first time and then quick charge doesn't work. Make sure you lube it up nice and wet and slide it in as deep as possible.
i bought one couple of days ago,and neither me, i dont see any difference between fast and normal charging
