[Q] 4 Hours charging time.

Anyone have this problem? Charging time takes 4 hours to 100%? It's really annoying. Charging time used to be only 2 hours (--and actually still only 2 hours to 100% if phone is off - ).

Mine is about 4hours from 20% to 100%. Sometime it take more than 4hours. I am on endymion 3.3. Is there something wrong?

Mine is CM7. Have you try switching your phone when charging? I get full charge in 2 hours when device is off.

2 h AC, 4 h USB charging time
Hi, I am new here but I think it will reset over time...
I have a DS with two different batteries (Stock 1450 mAh and Mugen 1800 mAh). I have noticed that charging them from USB takes about 4 hours and from AC about 2 hours.
I am using the Battery Monitor Widget Pro and soon the Mugen Power app to get the most out of the batteries.

2h 40min from 9% to 100% with phone off.

Check under about phone->status->battery status if it is charging with usb or AC.

FYI the stock 1450mAh battery charged from USB to 2-100 % in 4h38m in off-state (involuntary...: )
Will submit further info on new charging times as they occur.

My charging also lasts 4h since I switched to Endymion. Here is my charging graph, looks very awkward. 0-80% in 2h is OK, but 80-95 in 1h45 and then last 5% in 15mins looks bad.

Maybe you should check how much Amp your phone is charging between 80-95%. It could be that it is much lower than between 0-80%. I assume you use a genuine HTC charger?

I am having the same problem aswell, it just took forever to fully charge my phone now. I only just got this phone back in August, so I doubt it's the battery fault.
Would charging over AC be faster than charging over USB?

Yes, IMHO , charging over AC is definitely better & faster than USB !

Just tried it again and 100% is still 4 hours. I am charging AC.

I think its just rom related, but i can't confirm.

Battery Monitor Widget says that my average "AC full-charge" is 3h42min. With Reaper ROM.
I think it's not bad..
But would there be a difference with some other charger? Now I'm using HTC's charger.

i also have the same problem with you guys, but for months now
my phone used to charge 0->100% in 2 hours and now it takes up to 4.
i get the same graph from battery widget as above.
The strange thing is, when battery is at 80% (after 2hours charging) the mV value reaches highest because battery is really full. Try to restart phone and percentage will jump to 100%!
This happens with every custom rom
Anyway, battery has a 6 month guaranty (phone has 2 years) and now I know why

when i was on stock rom my phone took 2hrs to charge using AC. after rooting and romming a month ago it now takes 3-4hrs. i've had Coredroid as my rom for around a month and only noticed recently the long charge times using AC. battery monitor widget for me also says 3hr42m for full AC charge. i'm beginning to think its custom rom related as well.

Doesn't charge if rebooted while plugged in

Phone is Samsung Galaxy Relay, CM11-20141008
If the phone reboots while plugged in, it stops charging, even though it thinks it's charging:

}
If charger is removed and reattached, it starts charging again.
It also sometimes thinks it has charged but then dies randomly as though the battery has died, and then the battery level is shown to be much lower than it thought? 3 things on right side of plot:

Now the phone won't stay running at all. It does the bootloader screen, then goes black in the middle. Sometimes it makes it to a home screen and then dies as soon as I touch anything.
If it's a bad battery, shouldn't it still work while plugged into external power?
Should it boot with no battery at all while plugged into external power? All it does is show a red LED and vibrate repeatedly.
If I boot into recovery it stays on, though, on battery alone.
Tried removing SD card and SIM card, wiping cache partition, wiping dalvik cache, reflashing gapps, still doesn't work.

re-burned the CM11 ROM, did a factory reset, still nothing. it works fine in recovery, but when I try to boot it shows the splash screen (the static picture, not the rotating circle), the LED turns blue briefly, and then everything goes black. :crying:

Sounds like a bad battery. Try letting the phone charge while off for about 6 hours. Also you could try "clearing the RAM" by pulling the battery unplugging and holding the power button for 5-10 seconds, and see if that helps.

But it boots into recovery and that works fine?

Also wouldn't it run fine on external power?

I tried both of those with no luck.
It probably is a bad battery? After charging all day, it showed a full battery. I started it, it died immediately, then it said the battery was empty. Anyway I need a phone and don't have time to decide on a new model so I ordered another one. if it's just the battery I'll have a backup phone now.

So I swapped out the battery and it booted. It ran a while, getting really hot processing updates and everything from the past week, and then randomly shut down. The battery graph shows the same thing as before, the Charging bar is green as though it is charging, but the battery level graph is dropping. So I think the charging itself is broken and not the battery?

So after changing the battery it acted weird again for a bit and then started charging and has been working as it was since? So it was just the battery? But I still wake up to a dead phone even though it's plugged in, which it was doing with the old battery too.

Did you try a different charger.

Yes, tried several chargers
I made a Tasker profile to make noise if it's plugged in but the battery level keeps dropping

This definitely still sounds as though it's a bad battery.

well this is a different battery now, so 2 bad batteries? can someone with this phone confirm that if they plug it in and then reboot, it stops charging?

I personally have not seen that issue. The only issue with booting while plugged in that I've seen with the three apexqs I own is that if you reboot the phone with the charger plugged in, it often then doesn't like to get into 'Deep Sleep' mode until it's rebooted while not plugged in.

I have two apexq and never that issue, the only issue is the same magamo said before, no issues with charging rebooting phone while plugged in

Charging issue after OTA update to 5.02

I just took the OTA update to 5.02 last night, and now I am having issues with the battery charging. When I connect it, it starts out charging, then after a bout 30-60 seconds, it stops, and the splash screen for low battery appears. It cycles back and forth about every 30-60 seconds. After about 5 minutes, it actually seems to have lost charge. It went from 13% to 12%. I am using the charger and cable that was supplied when purchased. I also tried plugging a Note 2 charger into it, and it seems to be charging fine (obviously much slower than normal). This is what I am using now.
I never had any charging issues prior to last night. I am going to order a new cable, but am wondering if anyone else has seen this problem.

I had this issue also with the at&t model upgrading to the latest kitkat. I downgraded to fix it.

I think your problem is not related to the update. Battery charging problem could be from your cable or charger.
This tool will help you to find out the problem, charging current should be around 1.7 Amps, voltage should be around 5.2 Volts
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odk...&_nkw=usb+current+and+voltage+tester&_sacat=0
I did monitor of battery discharge before update. The fourth column is battery percentage, I was playing movie and wanted to see how much the battery drops.
This is before update:

This is the discharge rate while playing movie after update to 5.0.2. It seems better
This is the charging rate after update. Battery charges normally without any issue

[Q] Battery at 0% not charging/booting to OS

Hello everybody, i have read like 20 thread's about this but nobody actually had the anwser to it so here we go!
My nexus 5 is out of Warranty, my glass was smashed on it but it worked for a loong time perfectly but one day in winter when i just came back from outside into a warm as hell enviroment the screen was just smashed, the LCD spilled all the way so i finally changed it a month ago. Booted it up and it worked fine but didnt charge (actually discharged under charger) so i bought a cable for charging, even borrowed my friend's s4 cable to charge it (no luck)
So yesterday i finally changed up the battery, looks genuine (i can send it back if i want) and when i turned on the phone it showed 60% of battery but the phone instantly went to Powering Off and instantly RLOD
Few minutes under charger and booted to TWRP and it displayed 16% so i left it to charge on recovery but it didn't, the phone is charging since yesterday so 24hours are passing (turned off phone) and the gauge still displays 0...
I have cleaned the usb port on my nexus but still the same thing happens, doesn't matter what cable and also i use the OEM charger which charges lumia 720 in like 30 minutes from 30-90% so its definetly not the charger, could a 2A charger fix the problem of kinda kickstarting the battery to charge since nexus has the 1650mA limit of current?
A month ago i also checked all stuff like Ampere, Gsam etc and all displayed some weird stats, all chargers showed like 200-300mA charge and even went on negative while charging, tried 1.8A with a good copper cable with low resistance and sometimes it hit 1700mA and instantly went -800mA or something like that..
I just hope its not the Motherboard ( Btw when the lcd spilled it showed kinda "water damage" on the tabs, they went slightly pink, cleaning with alcohol could help? or its a software problem)

Try replace flex also know as LCD cabel, I think this is the issue.

You mean the "daughterboard" whole flex that has the usb port on it? right now its RLOD city and it goes like that for 2 hours already..
I want to try everything because i dont want to spend any more money on stuff that wouldn't help ^^ But im wondering why the new battery went from 60% instant power off and suddenly 15%..

If you still have your old battery, put in the old battery and see if the phone behaves the same way. If it does, it could be the USB flex cable that runs between the USB port and the motherboard.

New battery doesn't charge at all, the one at the screenshot is the old battery
(shows lightning bolt and stuff but after going to recovery after 5 hours it doesnt show the battery percentage and RLOD goes in)

Problem solved with a USB flex cable replacement?

Charger base with LED flashing red and does not charge

My S3 Frontier does not charge.
I put it in the base, charge for about 5 minutes, then the base LED will flash red and the clock will turn off. There shot of the base, put again, the clock discharged the battery instead of increasing. It charges a few more minutes and starts all over again, the led flashes, the watch turns off and does not charge.
I already changed the charger, I already changed cable, I reset the clock and nothing.
Has anyone ever experienced this? Can you help me?

1.
You have SM-R760 or variant of SM-R765?
2.
You charged if Watch is OFF...
Power off Watch do the same as it is on and booted fully into Tizen OS?
3.
Under About device... is some battery info...
It could be, battery is dead...
Best Regards

I bought my S3 Frontier used over a year ago and one day shortly after buying it the charging base led indicator would flash red and never reach green. The watch did, however, charge but never a full charge to 100%. The watch was/is quite usable but it always frustrated me that it would never charge to green. I may have solved the problem this week and I'm so excited to share it online so that other sufferers of the flashing red light might find a solution too. After reading a manual for another electronics device I just bought, the manual described how the lithium battery could lose it's memory under certain conditions and it went on to explain how to correct the problem. I immediately thought of my Gear S3 and it seemed reasonable that this lithium memory problem could explain why my watch isn't charging all the way and flashes red. The description of how to correct battery memory problem was to drain the battery completely, like until it shuts off and wont turn on, and then charge it full and then repeat full drain and charge until the memory is reset. So this week I have been draining the battery on my S3 by setting brightness to full and turning on the always on function and just working it hard, it took almost 2 full days to drain the battery to zero. After cycling through full drain and full charge and back again the watch now charges properly and the light goes green when it's at 100%. I hope this helps you and anyone else suffering from S3 red light issues.

Thank You for posting this I'm going to give it a try. I just recently have the same issue.

I had exactly the same issue with R765A. Reset or latest updates did not help me. I tried my old Huawei 400mah and xiaomi power bank as a source with no luck. First time Gear can stay about 15 minutes before dock starts blinking. Also s3 turns off at that moment. You can pick up and then put back but 2-3 minutes later dock starts blinking again.

I suppose that overheating is the cause. Also there may be a stronger magnetic field, which lead to larger charging current and overheating. I'm going to check my friend's dock this weekend and if it is ok then definitely some chargers produce a stronger magnetic field.
