the manual says charge it for 8 hours or more on the first charge,
I did that
I'm charging it for 8 hours the second and third charge
but i noticed that it only takes about two hours to get to 74%
So do i need to keep charging it for 8 hours every time??????
or can i just charge till it says it's full?????
I just got mine and have it on the charger. I will probably leave it on the full 8 hours since I have other things to do today. After that I plan on handling it just like all my other computers and phones and charge it each night after I finish up using it for the day.
If it takes more than 3hrs per charge using the Asus charger to go from 1-100, after doing the initial charge, there's something wrong. It's best not to charge it up fully every time though if you want to prolong the battery life, as it's a lithium ion battery. 2+1/2hrs is good i'd say.
i'll just charge it till it says it 100 %
since the TF will boot it self up to charge, it probably is never fully charged anyway.
I plug it in overnight, same as with my phone. The thing is smart enough not to overcharge.
I have noticed that when i plug my Z5 in to charge overnight, it will charge to full in just a few hours and then remain plugged in for the next ~6 hours until i unplug the phone 'fully charged" in the morning.
My theory is that the phone loses charge (maybe to protect the battery?) when left plugged in at full charge.
I will only get 3 hours SOT max if i leave my phone charging overnight. But if i unplug my Z5 as soon as it is fully charged i get 5 + hours SOT.
Also, often when i plug my phone into charge at 1 or 2 %, it sometimes actually causes my battery to die, before the phone boots again and starts to charge. Does anyone else notice this?
I am using the stock sony UCH 20 charger with came with my Z5.
What do you guys think?
That does sound peculiar. It should be noted that while it is normal for the phone to protect the battery by cycling between 90% and 100% when plugged in (battery gauge doesn't account for this, that's why it appears full all the time), it definitely shouldn't cause a 40% difference in SOT even if you happened to unplug when the battery is at 90 percent.
Yes, you're right. Once the battery is charged to 100%, the phone stops charging and will let the battery drop to around 92% and once it hits 92% it will start charging again to 100%. Even if you unplug the phone when it's showing 100% after charging at night, it might actually be charged to 93% for example. That's why very often people complain that the first 10% of the battery drops very quickly, while in fact it's just the battery meter catching up with the battery charge. This is done to protect the battery and ensure it retains charge after many cycles.
Regardless of that, the difference should not be that huge. For me it's usually extra 30 minutes SOT.
It seems the stock firmware has a load of random wakelocks but I have hope that a soon to come update will fix most of the issues, if you are rooted I suggest that you use greenify or amplify (reqires xposed)
To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Google Pixel XL can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
My battery is at 62%, and on the lockscreen it says 1 hour and 26 minutes until fully charged. I mentioned this in another thread about slow charging in the Q&A section. I don't know if I have a lemon or faulty charger possibly..... Anyone else have any stats to compare with me?
Is charging that bad?
Even I have seen users facing charging issues. This is what is confusing me. Hope someone clears completely if the new model has charging issues or not!
Here's my charging times according to Battery Widget Reborn.
it's quite a bit slower to charge with the included charger than my G4 with a QC2.0, but it's not terrible.
I do know that using the phone while it's charging will cause charging to take longer. I've installed Ampere to monitor the charging current, and it fluctuates wildly between 510 mA to 3350 mA it seems like. Hopefully someone else can install Ampere and compare stats, would be helpful.

Seems a bit slow for Quick Charge 3.0 but perhaps it is due to the version they are using which is 1.0 or something like that
At 16% I have measured up to 3250, but haven't tested very much.
So the phone takes about 2 hours 10 minutes to charge from 1% - 100%, and that's without using the phone during charging. Is that about the charging time other people are getting with the bundled charger? Still seems very slow compared to other flagship phones out there (my last phone was the Axon 7 with Qualcomm QC 3.0).
The charger itself (the box plugged into the wall or into a car 12V socket), offering a USB socket. The job of this element is to offer a stable 5 volts at the USB socket.
Hmmm, if I put the phone down, and clear all apps, the phone charges an average 35% per hour. I do have a ton of [email protected] running in the background, but that's the rate I get with the included charger. good? Bad?

I found that if you use the phone while charging, the charging almost comes to a standstill. Even when not using it, i can't see how Google can advertise up to 7 hours of use on a 15 minute charge
OK, I am reading posts like that this phone charges fully in 2 hours! Is that right? I mean from 0 to 100, it takes 2 hours? Is this some sort of joke? Rapid Charging and 2 hours? What am I missing here?

Yeah, in the google commercial for the pixel it says different. The commercial says it will charge 7 hours of up time in 15 min. That's def not the case with me.
I have Google Pixel XL and when I charge it from 0% it doesn't even get anywhere close to 100% in 15 minutes
I kind of want to get a OnePlus 3t because I miss the Dash charging from when I had the 3. That being said, charging speed is one of the only complaints I have about this phone which is pretty good I'd say.
My phone charged from 8% to about 90% in 1h30m
These are not good charge times. My Note 5 from 0% to 100% using their adaptive quick charger is 1 hour 5 minutes.
Poor charging times. 15 percentage in 15 minutes. Phone went to 29% from 14%. Zero usage in between obviously, wanted to measure that only.
Is the included charger the best or would a 3rd party wall charger be faster?
I ask because my LG V20 came with a QuickCharge 1.0 or 2.0 charger even though it's a QC 3.0 device. I am wondering if Google did something similar here?
I almost always charge my pphone over night and that means it is charging about 8 hours. This means that I don't really have any use of dash charging during the night. I already have a 1A charger by my beside so it would charge the battery pretty slowly, couple of hours.
What is best to keep the battery in a good condition? Dash charging it for 8 hours every night or just charging it very slowly with a third party charger?
It would be very good for your battery just to charge it till about 90-95% and never let it to completely drain. You can charge your battery till 100% after some time (after two or three weeks). Overcharging it at night doesn't do any good, even with 1A charger. Google it
for the last 5 years i have done the folowing: Charge to 100% over night..
did i see any drastic change in battery? no...
todays phone batteries are wayyyyy better than before.
after 2 years i still had better batterylife than most with my s7-edge
same with my sony z3
so i just stopped caring about how to charge. Use and charge when needed.
On the OP6 however i charge when i come from work to play with my daughter and eat (usually from 60% to 95%) and for the weekends i charge when/if needed..
i feel like people are just overthinking everything theese days. if you need to replace battery in a year it will only cost you 30euro (35 today) with shipping and all.. so.
I do, but it probably doesn't make any difference. The Dash Charger slow charges after 60% anyway to prevent real battery damage over time. Degradation is inevitable, but charging overnight won't likely make it worse or better. I've always done so.
Thank you!
I'm mainly asking because I need a 2m long cable and it will lead to slower charging.
This is not a complaint or a problem requiring fixing, but some curiosity. Does anyone else's phone lie about how long till full? Last night it said 10 minutes till full at 96%. I looked away for maybe 2 minutes and it was 100% charged. I thought maybe the battery could need to be drained and recalibrated but no, it drained normally. Took like 5-10 minutes of facebook scrolling to go down maybe 1%. Used it down to 35% today at work listening to spotify and playing games on my breaks. This was probably 96%-35% over almost 10 hours, so I don't think I have a battery problem, it just does not display eta of the charge correctly?
The reasoning behind all this is I'm trying to practice good Li-Ion health and not charge it fully. I usually get it to around 95% and unplug it. I don't charge it all night, and give it a boost on the way into work in the car. Im using the PD 2.0 fast charger it came with at home, but a older Samsung fast charger in the car from the S8 era.
Trust the shown percentage and not the time remaining ?
