Looks like the Galaxy s8 doesn't quick charge if your using it while its charging!
http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s8-fast-charge-display-off/
While using it I have noticed a message pop up warning about the battery discharging faster then it can charge. At first I thought it was a bad charger but I guess not. Only noticed the message when the phone is under heavy load like full brightness youtube UHD streaming or gaming. This might be why they claim longer life span for the battery. Hope they update it to at least give us the option to always quick charge.
Like lg's phone (had g2 and g5 ) it doesnt fast charge when the screen is on, I might be wrong but i think it's pretty much stantard to avoid overheating.

Coming from the One Plus 3T with Dash Charge and the difference is pretty big. Kind of a bummer the Galaxy s8 charges at Quick Charge 2.0 speeds when Quick Charge 4.0 is around the corner.
Wtb dash charge on every phone.

Qc fast charge 2.0 , 3.0 all raise the voltage that is going to the phone to increase the charging speed, but doing so also heat the battery , especially qc 3.0 . I remember my g5 getting really hot ( like hotter then anything i've manage with my s8 rn ) just by charging for 20 min with the screen off, normal usage already heat the phone so if they allowed fast charging while ppl play games and stuff the battery would definitely become way too hot and that would be unsafe ( note 7 i see you ) . Qc 2.0 don't heat the phones as much as 3.0 tho that's just samsung being reaaaally safe because of what stated above.
On the other hand the dash charge that op use only raise the amperage , so all the excess of heat stay in the charger that is working hard to give your phone less volt than qc 3.0 but at a faster speed resulting in the same charging speed, it maybe even be faster with the dash charge from what i've read. With that heat staying in the charger they allow fast charge with the screen on because it won't make the phone overheat beyond safety point .
Sorry if my english is meh it's not my main language tho ^^
Considering how this is a charging thread, I had to drop a weird concern. I got my phone on launch, and I usually charge my devices using the Anker Powercore; the phone charges fine, however, it stops at 84 percent, and doesn't go beyond that. Unplugging the cable, and plugging it back in fixes the issue..
I noticed the issue is only when charging through power bank.

It's saying fast charging but take a watch, with screen on wait 10 min and see how much % it get, then turn it off wait another 10, it will get almost twice of what you get with screen on. I had mine for one year so I'm pretty sure that they lower the voltage when the screen is on even tho they don't say it.

Wrong. They never said it would be qc3 or anything other than adaptive fast charge, which is their take on qc2.
Also this has been same for 3 years now, so fail to see the news here.
Some publications are rehashing same test year after year, then publishing it as though it's a new thing, just for clicks. Some are genuinely clueless. And yet others are making it seem as though samsung removed the feature (which was never there in a first place), due to fears of another note7 situation.

It happens occasionally. People have noted it here in a couple threads, but it seems to occur with non-samsung chargers, particularly Apple ones.
I've had it happen when my phone was just at 97% and I decided to top it off in the car (with a random charger). It went back up to 100 and got stuck there until a reboot. No one seems to have a good reason for why this happens, and its not consistent, at least in my experience...
Give the battery a little time to adjust to use (a couple of weeks anyway). If you are using the stock charger (this is important) and it still happens after a couple of weeks, get AT&T to give you a new battery. Good luck.
I have the same issue. Battery level indicator stays stuck all day until the phone powers off. I have to reboot it, sometimes twice, to get it working properly. I've always used a Belkin 2amp, dual port charger (1 amp per port) for charging. The problem didn't seem to start until I bought a pair of fairly high quality, 6' MediaNet cables. Had the issue for the past three mornings. Bought the phone on the 21st. Phone is completely stock AT&T.

I had that happen yesterday and I use the cable that came with the phone, but the adapter for my iPhone. WIll have to change that because it's a bit of a bother. A reboot will fix the issue though.
I suppose I'll have to try that despite the Belkin dual port working fine for the first week or so. I like it because I can keep both the phone and my iTouch charging on the headboard of my bed at night. I'm sure I can find another outlet to run two blocks.
If you guys haven't seen the other threads here and around the web concerning this the issue is believed to be a bad battery (bad firmware)

I bought my Skyrocket on the 21st. I brought it home, openned the box and was instantly unimpressed with the length and flimsiness of the charge cable. I immediately ordered 2 high quality MediaNet 6' MicroUSB cables and an OtterBox Commuter case. I then spent a week waiting while using the nornal routine I have used for a couple of years. I have a Belkin dual port charger by my bed. 2amp, 1amp per port. I charge both my phone and my 64G iTouch overnight while I sleep. The only time I deviated from this practice was on Christmas Eve when I spent the night at my girlfriend's and used the stock charger. Everything was fine for a week until the cables arrived. First night on the much nicer, heavier, and most importantly.... longer MediaNet cable, I awoke to the 100% battery stuck issue. The next three nights in a row resulted in the same thing. Last night, I switched back to the stock cable. This morning... no 100% battery stuck issue. I only have one day of testing to base this opinion on but FOR ME... the issue appears to be what cable I use and has nothing to do with the charger. I did absolutely nothing else... no pulling batteries, no change in software. The phone is completely 100% stock with the apps I pretty much installed all during the first two days of owning the thing. The only thing that changed... was the cable.
It's probably both the cable and the charger. You're forced to use both or you'll get this problem. Would not be a problem if they didn't suck.
I believe this to be correct about it being a battery issue, I have both an skyrocket and the Samsung galaxy player 5.0, and they both have exhibited the battery fully charged sticking problem. The problem with the galaxy player is that the battery can not be removed.

Turns out my wife's skyrocket had a bad battery. She had no issues on the chargers she usses, I had no issues with mine on the charger I use. First charge with her battery in my phone on my charger and the battery sticks at 100%
doing one more test tonight (her phone+her battery in my charge) but I am sure the results will be the same
the issue (as posted before by someone else) is a bad battery, not the charger/cable theory, that only triggers the true battery issue
So how do we get this fixed? Will Samsuck just send us new batteries for free?
It will still require sending in the phone I bet. It would be better to stop by an art corp store I would think. ...

Thanks for suggesting that the battery may be the cause of the problem. I've had the Skyrocket for just over a week, and the unreliable battery indicator has been an issue several times, mostly after I've charged it while driving, so using the Samsung wall charger isn't an option.
I'll try taking it to my local AT&T store and see if they'll swap the battery. Meanwhile, I order a package with two non-Samsung batteries from Amazon, and it will be interesting to see if those solve the problem.
I know it was mentioned in a previous post, but did you try using the "samsung power block" that came with the phone? My phone had the same issue, but once I switched over to the power block they gave me, I haven't had it since.

Yeah, can't help you there. Does rebooting the phone help? (I know its a sucky workaround, but if you're consistently charging it, then maybe the battery indicator isn't that critical).
So, it annoyed me the Galaxy S III battery was 2100 mah vice our 1800, but physically smaller (albeit a hair thicker)

this is interesting... is the s3 battery rated at 3.8v too? also, did you really see that 16% improvement in battery life?
Battery life is better yes. And most cell phone batteries are 3.8 volts, and report as "full" at around 4.2 volts, although the app I use for battery monitoring shows the relay is charging my battery to 4.3 volts.

The stock battery life on our phone is pretty decent. But I wonder what kind of extended slim battery options we have for our phone specifially....
Great mod Nard. The S3 battery is very common and I think all aftermarket extended slim batteries for the S3 should work as well. As long as you don't have a problem ghetto rigging it, we can get a lot more juice for out phones. And it retains NFC. Massive plus

Holy cow, an extra 28% battery life for under $5? Heck yes! Just ordered this.
Edit: Don't see NFC mentioned anywhere... I don't use NFC, but just in case I decide I want to start, I'll pick up one of these, and solder the guy on if I need to. Looks to be about the right size.

I have one S3 battery, though from KINPS with 3250mAh that I got last time, which is 5mm thick (1mm more than ours) and should be allegedly same size to the S3 stock one.
But I am not able to close the back cover when I want to use it according to your instruction. that 1mm is definitely too thick and does not let me close it.
would you please confirm that yours is 5mm also or is it less than that?
if the prior, how did you manage to close the back cover?
if the latter, i would go buy a S3 stock battery.
If it's really that tight, I would try and carefully remove the sticker and see if it fits.
Compare it to the stock battery. Shouldn't be much thicker than that

I got a 3 pack of those batteries. All the three of them are just lying at home, their actual capacity was 2100mAh. Besides it didn't charge over 87%, which is 1800mAh approx. Don't know what the problem was, guessing it was the maximum voltage the battery could be pushed to using the phone. :/
Just let them sit overnight, they'll charge more

Actually the big possibility behind this is samsung has a battery overcharge feature...which is why your battery may only get that high...also Another cause might be to check and make sure your charger is outputting 5v 800ma as thats what is required by phone...i use stock charger with my 5000mah extended battery and loving it...gets full charge with both stock and extended battery....also to note...because of this overcharge feature depending on bad flash or similar it may actually brick your batteries (yes its possible). A prime example is i thought my old relay was bricked...when i got new relay i tried charging the battery from old phone and got the bootloop of death like i did on my old relay..so it got me thinking...and i placed battery from new relay and it booted right up as if a brick never happenned..i started to really research this and found ways to prevent this from ever happenning again as well as finding out about the samsung overcharge "issues" .
Besides when i used the battery, it lost charge out quite quickly and when i did a little research on the batteries, i found out given the size the batteries are likely to be fake and that the best batteries are the stock ones. The big extended batteries are however a different story altogether though. Anyway, i'd charge them overnight once and see if anything happens.
Here's hoping to the phone not bursting and burning my house down!!:fingers-crossed:

a good example...i went from 6 am to now 8:30 pm on my extended and its now at 75% batterry....i only paid 30 with tax and stuff total for my extended and happy i got it...again though...a lower voltage and ma charger will cause issues with battery drain and charge as well...like lets say you used a charger from another android device that calls for 4.5 or 5 volts but only 750ma or 500ma.... in terms it doesnt charge the phone properly causing more workload and time for battery to charge properly
I bought the extended battery of mugenpower (2300mah) for Samsung Galaxy S3. I scratched To insert the battery. The time now is charging but the cover does not close. probably also'll scratch the cover.
Soon I will insert photos of the operation.
P.S.
I spent € 37 including postage
Mugen Power battery for s3 in Relay
I am extremely satisfied with the results, the battery life has improved considerably. Now I can get to the evening, with the old battery arrived at midday
I had to scratch the back cover to be able to close.
I was sick of my battery life being horrible no matter the rom or customizations so I went ahead and ordered this bad boy that just came in today.
Initial impressions:
The size isn't that much bigger than the phone with the seidio case that I had... it still fits in my jeans pocket (don't own skinny jeans, so no clue there).
Will update this once I get more time with it and let u know about charging time, how long it last, and if there are any other questions let me know.

Acquired one of these myself. I really like ZeroLemon's battery design - a lot of these cases just bulge out the back where the rest of the battery is while leaving the rest of the phone thin, which is super unwieldly. ZL actually designs their batteries to pack in as many cells as possible over the entire back of the phone, which makes it a much smoother experience.
The battery ended up lasting me a little more than 3 days, which was great. However, I found that the power button was way too easy to press - I had to be careful putting my phone away every time because even the gentlest press seemed to trigger the button and allow things to happen on-screen in my pocket, which is not ideal.
I'll be posting my review later tonight on the Amazon product page. Overall, I'd say if you need a 9000mah battery on your phone, this is the way to go..if you don't store your phone in your pocket. To be fair, with how thick your phone becomes with this case, people who hold their phones in their pockets aren't really the main demographic, I'd say.
I got this battery also. I like this a lot better than the Mugan 6,000mAh I bought for about the same price. As far as lasting 3 days, I guess if you don't use it a lot, that would be really easy. I normally plug mine in every night. But for an experiment I decided to let it go. Surprise it lasted me the whole 2nd day too. But time for bed, I plugged it in after 39 hours I plugged it in at 23%. Compared to stock where I had to charge sometime during the day. The Mugan would last me the whole day. But it is always nice to know that if I needed, I could go 2 days without a charge. A lot longer if I take it easy.
The case is ok, I like the back of the phone better because it isn't weird shape. I hate the other where the battery juts out and the top is skinny. That made the whole phone hard to hold. But this one tapers a bit near the top, but is a lot nicer to hold. I think it was a lot better investment than the Mugan....
I just got this from Zero Lemon. For those of you that have this battery, do you notice that your battery level in the status bar is inaccurate? I charged mine to 100% (which took a LONG time). After starting my edge, my battery level dropped to 97% in like two minutes. Is the system just showing inaccurate readings because of the larger battery? I'm at 93% after only being turned on for 14 minutes. My 3000mah battery did much better that that.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
At first I saw those results and then I would get to 1% and it would last over 5 hours on there. For me I wiped battery stats, let it completely die, recharged it without disconnecting it, let it fully discharge again and it seemed to drain more accurately afterwards

My Amazon Review
I've never used an extended battery on any cell phone before so I wasn't sure what to expect. I loved the idea of getting tripple the time out of one charge so was excited to give this a try.
I'll begin with the battery. The batteries are BIG. I felt that they could have a slightly tighter fit in the phone battery pocket but knew the case would help hold them in place. No big deal. I installed the battery and my phone showed a 59% charge. I wanted to run the battery down as far as possible before fully charging. It sure didn't take long. My phone was dead in only a few hours. So I charged the batteries to 100% while I slept. Turned on my phone and headed for work. In the hour it took me to get to work, (with my phone in my pocket) I'd used 20% of my charge. Wwwhhaaaaat!!!??. I could actually watch my charge meter go down while using my phone. I was so disappointed. I was getting better time out of my 3000mah stock battery. I even posted a help question on Xda Developers for advice on why I'm losing a charge so quickly. One member stated that they had experienced the same issue for the first few days, but charge time improved. So I decided to stick with the Zerolemon for a little while longer. Boy am I glad I did. I'm writing this review on my phone 40 hours after unplugging from my charger and still have 47% charge left. The battery gets slightly warm when charging but nothing to get overly concerned about. It never gets hot while in using my phone. I think Zerolemon had done a great job of designing this power source. My only suggestion for the actual batteries would be maybe a note in the instructions informing us that it may take a few charges to see the full benefits.
On to the case... The case is a nice TPU material with a slight texture that prevents it from being slippery. It slips on and off my phone with ease while still being snug enough that it doesn't come off if I don't WANT it to. I was concerned that it would be difficult to put in and out of my pocket because of the size, but it hasn't been an issue at all. My speaker still sounds loud and clear. Zerolemon has done a FANTASTIC job of making all ports easily accessible as well as my s-pen. I will say that the case has caused a slight lifting of my screen protector where others that I use have not. It's not a deal breaker though. The complaints about the power button are justifiable. It is a bit too touchy and needs to be tightened up, somehow. It hasn't been an issue for me but I can see how it might be for some.
All in all, this battery /case combination isn't perfect. But it's pretty damn close. I'm very happy with Zerolemon's efforts and attention to usability. I will continue to use this battery /case combo for a long time to come.
Thank you ZEROLEMON !!!
Just order mine, icant wait wait to get it. So tired of haing to charge my phone in the middle of the day. Thank you guys for your reviews. Really helped me make up my mind.

Got everything charged up and running. I was having some issues with the power button so cut a little piece of paper to fit between power button and ir blaster and doubled it and the power button works awesome now. I will have to come up with a more permant solution later.
I would like to know, does this battery support the adaptive charging feature? Will it still charge 3000mah worth of power in one hour?.or how long does it take to charge? Does nfc still work?
Also no one seems to mention this but there is no cutout for the speaker. How does that affect functionality?

Yes, it shows fast charging and does it pretty quick

Probably, but no way to measure it myself.
or how long does it take to charge?

From 20% about a couple hours to 100% But I don't stick around because I plug it in before I go to bed. But in the beginning I did get up to check, so I know it is less than 3.
Does nfc still work?

I would say yes, because I set it up, but haven't tried using it. As I don't really use it in the first place. ZeroLemon says it does.

The speakers work fine. Probably because if there being so much space and places the sound can come out. I don't think the case was meant to be soundproof.
Woke at 9 and took my phone off charge at 100%. About to go to bed and i have 2% left. 7 hours of screen on time. Loving it!!
So I just got this badboy delivered! Man I burst out laughing when I saw the battery. It's so huge.
Questions: I'm assuming the phone can't detect the true capacity of the battery? So battery readings are useless? Any app out there that can? How about when it's charging? How do I truly know of the battery is at 100%? How do I truly know how much juice I got left?
Thanks! Pictures below

You should never assume. [emoji6] it's reading fine on mine. Did you expect it to read 300%? If it says zero, then your phone will be dead. If it says 100%, then the battery is full charged.

How about the "remaining hours" estimate? Is that accurate? Cuz I had read somewhere that it was normal for the phone to stay stuck at 1% for hours or something like that?

I couldn't find an F1 thread about battery and SOT, so here it is.
You will agree that battery life is one of the most important functions nowadays, especially on a new phone like the F1. We know battery life and SOT depends on what type of apps & your personal usage, but it is still good to have a benchmark for your own battery life to compare against, so we can see what more we can get out of our F1.
Please show us your battery life, SOT and any tips, tricks you found, and any suggestions for best settings, what to do and to avoid, to maximize your battery life.
If possible , please use a battery monitor and try to post a screenshot.
Hopefully we can all benefit from this discussion.
Tks!!
For those who are not aware already, Better Battery Stats app is a great app to use for detailed battery data. Its available from the PlayStore for a price....but here is the free version for XDA users. If you think its a great app and want to support the dev then you can buy the paid version on Playstore. Download the app to your F1 for free from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 and you can use it to post screenshots of your SOT/battery stats etc.
Note- I found charging my F1 with the Qualcomm Aukey Charger is "almost" twice as fast compared with charging with the original F1's factory OPPO charger. (I dont work for Aukey, just sharing tip for those who want much faster charging on their F1).
Charge with a 2A charger, this phone will be charged twice faster. But be carefull dont use cheap non brand charger. You will ruin your phone.
Hi there! I have a Oppo F1 (f1f model) since a week and coming from an HTC One S.
This device battery life is better than my previous one. I can stand one full day of moderate usage with GPS, gaming, music, 4G all the time and Wi-Fi half the time. On what I consider heavy usage, this device doesn't last one full day and need to be recharged. I'll try to get BetterBatteryStats captures in a few days.
I've had the F1 for about a month. I use it heavily for browsing social media etc. Not much SMS or phone calls, mostly FB messenger, some youtube and spotify. Battery lasts all day.
only thing I hate regarding the battery is the constant "abnormal app consumption" notifications. -its not abnormal, im using the damn app, of course its going to use power you stupid OS.
The GPS is not as accurate as im used to with more expensive phones but the upside is ive never had the device overheat whilst using GPS & spotify whilst plugged in to car power and sitting in the direct sun during driving.
The camera is pretty good.
I am not a fan of ColorOS. its full of junk and i hope i can get rid of it one day. Other than that, the phone itself is pretty capable for AUD$200 its a bargain.
hope this helps, cheers AL
Im getting approx 5 hours SOT with moderate usage not gaming, in comparion with the same usage my LG G3 was getting 3hour 40min SOT

Did u install 'Ampere' app from playstore? If yes, can you give a screenshoot from the app while charging?
Because, although i charge with 1 A, 2 A, or VOOC charger, the input just 450mAh. Whereas according Ampere app, Oppo F1 can take 1500mAh input while charging.

in Ampere I also get 450mAh also. strange. but the oppo original device charger is almost twice as slow, takes ages, compared to my Aukey Qualcomm charger. thats why I never use the original charger. just wondering you are on ColorOS or Project SpectrumOS?

Color OS. Maybe, in more few weeks again many developers can bring kernel that unlock the high speed charging potential.
anyone tried colorOS vs Project SpectrumOS battery comparison?
Not a real comparison but clearly, Spectrum OS consumes more power. I'd say 20 % more. And Spectrum often tells me that Bluetooth or Wi-Fi is consuming all my power in the settings section on battery life. It still needs optimisations.

Aukey Qualcomm fast charger
Just got a new Pixel XL and I'd like an external battery I read the reviews on this site but does anyone have any ideas as to which is superior?
Here's what I've gathered so far
ZeroLemon 8500 mAh
Mophie 2950 mAh & wireless charging
Wide variety of chargers available including car & battery pack
I assume that both of these are in addition to the internal battery. Does anyone have any additional info?
LATER
I also found two others, but they're not as good as these two.

As far as features go, mophie is the better product. For sheer function, ZeroLemon obviously has the larger battery.
If I had the money I'd go mophie.
It has a 2 year warranty
wireless charging
can connect to a car mount or dock magnetically
zerolemon i believe only has a 180 day warranty? Don't quote me on that. I think i saw that on the amazon page.
So if all you want is juice, go zerolemon but if the features and the 2 year warranty is more to your liking I'd say go mophie. I'm looking at both and on paper, mophie has the better feature set and possibly better value even though it is more expensive.
if you register the product with ZeroLemon you'll get an additional 18m warranty, fwiw
I was on the Mophie site and their LG G4 case is 60% off.

Not surprising since it's for a phone that's two years old. Not going to help with a Pixel XL though.

A SERIOUSLY BROKEN two year old phone, that's my point.
Just ordered the mophie. The features won out and their cases tend to look more finished.
I just got the mophie. I don't have a Pixel Zerolemon to compare, but it does look more finished than the LG G4 ZeroLemon I have. The charge Force accessories are very good looking also.

I've got the Zerolemon. It's a chunky monster but I want the battery life. There's an extra 2cm on the bottom with two front-facing grates for speaker sound, which work well. Could do with a kickstand. Heavy beast and not aesthetically pleasing if that's an issue for you.
I could post pictures, but nothing better than the ones on mophie & amazon

Some observations
Juice Pack
The juice pack looks like a large phone. I like a manly sized phone and don't wear anything but jeans so size isn't an issue. The ZeroLemon (G4) cover looked like it was homemade.
This is just a gut feeling, the charge-thru technology seems to:
Charge the phone to 80%
Charge the Juice pack to 80%
Top off the phone
Top off the juice pack
The Juice pack did not interfere with USB debugging.
The speaker extensions only add about 1/4 inch to the height.
Power Station
The juice pack uses a usb-c connector, but the battery pack & vent mount use mini-usb. You can still use all your old chargers, but you might have to carry an extra cable.
The magnetic attachment to the battery is pretty strong. I can see using the phone with the battery attached.
The faux velvet finish on the battery pack mars easily and collects dust.
I spoke to mophie and asked about using the powerstation while the phone is connected to the computer. I was told that the powerstation has a overcharge protection feature so this will not hurt the phone or powerstation but it is also unnecessary because the phone will charge off the computer first.
Vent Mount
Prior to getting this stuff, I had an overheating problem with the pixel when using Google Maps & GPS. With it mounted on the vent mount with AC blowing on it, its actually cool to the touch. The phone may still be overheating inside the case but we'll see. I had another vent mount for an earlier phone and managed to break the vanes on one of my vents. No problem with this one. It is a little wobbly though.
If you're getting a battery pack you might want to wait on a wireless desktop charger. The dock might be useful if you're using the phone at your desk, but I didn't need it

Are you able to check if the phone sleeps while connected to the Mophie? *Not charging state*. It looks like the zero lemon had an issue of keeping the phone awake when it's connected. Even in a non charging state.

I set the Display Sleep to 15 seconds. When the screen goes blank, If hit the power button it requires a fingerprint. How do I tell if its really asleep or just playing possum?
I ran a charging test, but I can't figure out how to enter tabs or a table. I also tried uploading a snapshot but the image won't show.

download accubattery and just use the phone as normal in the case but with the case powered off. the phone should go into deep sleep after a period of non-use; accubattery will give you tons of stats including deep sleep
You could download naptime on the play store, enable aggressive dose and enable dose notifications. This will put the phone to deep sleep quicker than usual, and notification will appear when it wakes back up telling you when it went to sleep and how long deep sleep was active.
Is root required to use naptime?

Yes, the Play store says Root is required.
