Extremely slow. It took me 20 minutes to charge 20% or so. One of the biggest drawbacks of this phone.

i agree. most phones nowadays support fast or quick charge. the thing here takes like forever to load. in tests, it took 2 hours to load it from 0 to 100%. that is bad for a phone of the actual generation. what happened here? was it too expensive to integrate this feature? i mean it have a qualcomm processor, and the architecture imho supports it. why then so slow charging? anyway, it is not *that* bad, since you dont have to recharge more than one time at night. but still sad that this features are missing.

[Q] Battery problems

Hey,
So last week I got a new phone and they said it has quick charge. It should charge my 3100mah battery in less than 2 hours. So my problem is, it charges pretty quick from 0%-90%(ish) like 1%/minute but when it reaches 90% Android says 10 minutes remaining and it takes like 20 minutes from 90-100%. Oh, and from 90%-100% it takes like 5 minutes even if Android says it takes 2 minutes.
Is this normal? Is it bad? Is it good?
Thanks!
P.s: I think it charged once or twice the battery in less than 2 hours but I don't remember...

i think thats fairly normal. the exact amount of charge i believe is marginally inaccurate from the rapid charging. plus its basically guestemating based on current charge level. i doubt its possible to absolutely predict a precise time to full. if it climbs faster or slower than predicted, the time has to adjust to adapt to the current levels.
rapid charging stopping at 90% or so is normal. i believe if it attempted to rapid all the way, the risk of exploding the battery would be sharply increased.

So you think it's normal. Okay, thank you
more changing faster, the less battery life will be.

Not very fast. Little worried about charging speed. While mobile is off then it took 2 hour 16 minute to reach from 0 to 90%. Ok but sometimes feels bad

It's true charging at 30-32% per hour speed, very slow charging.

dash charge (now called fast charge) is crazy fast!!
Still, I would only recommend using that feature if there is a real benefit - i.e. time is of the essence. The battery will age quicker being dash charged all the time.
saw 60 percent at 35 minutes and 38 seconds, which is more or less in line with what OnePlus claims
Incredibly fast compared to my old Honor 8. One example I have is the first charge I did 5 days ago when I had bought it at a pop-up event here in Sweden. I had used it for about 1-2 hours with the screen on when I was setting it up and trying out the phone. Then when I plugged it in, it went from 36% to 75% in just 24 minutes. That's insanely fast
I've also noticed that just like OnePlus claims, the phone basically charges at the same speed with the screen on as if I would have had the screen off.

Can you provide any factual basis for this statement? Research or articles from established professionals in the field of battery charging?
Everything I've read from reliable sources state that the biggest impact on battery longevity is temperature. Repeated heating (or extreme cooling for that matter) will accelerate the "aging" process, as you put it. OnePlus has actually solved this problem by offloading the energy conversion that causes heat to the power brick, leaving the phone cool during charging (pretty ingenious). I've also read that not always charging the battery fully to 100% can prolong longevity, which is why you get charging strategies on laptops that will stop charging at 80% or 60% if you leave your laptop plugged in 24/7.
Point being, the ONLY way to slowly charge this device would be to use a third party charger and/or cable.
The reason I ask this, is that the manufacturer, OnePlus, clearly states in their documentation that comes with the phone or dash chargers to ONLY use the charger and cable that came with the phone.
Please charge the OnePlus Dash device only with the official Dash Power Adapter and Dash Type-C Cable. Using unauthorized adapter can be dangerous and may void your warranty.

I'm not completely opposed to the idea that this could just be a marketing ploy to get you to buy their own adapter and accessories, but again just want to know if there's any substantial proof that fast charging, by itself, degrades the battery faster, of if it's just a case of incorrect tribal knowledge.
Thanks.
You are correct that the rate of charge and discharge alone are not the only deciding factors on lipo life and certainly not the most decisive ones.
Excessive heat, especially on high charge levels, is the biggest factor for increased aging.
As you mentioned extreme charging levels (completely empty or full) will also contribute to faster aging, albeit the impact is not that extreme for these low current-draw Lipos used in our phones (as opposed to high-drain Lipos for instance).
Discharge and Charge at high rates will also contribute to the speed of aging, but not as much as heat.
When a lipo spends most of its time one medium charging levels at moderate temperatures and is only charged and discharged with low rates on it will have the longest service life.
This is common for all Lipos, just how much a low or high rate is for that particular battery differs (low drain, high capacity VS high drain, low capacity cell)
With Lipos everything is a compromise. Max and min voltages, max temperatures, max draw are values the manufacturer has chosen as the best compromise to reach the intended MTBF. All these numbers are not physical absolute barriers.

Second place after SuperCharge (even first gen) from Huawei. Much better than QC 3.0

First of all, how many device support Super VOOC? How many device you can buy outside China with VOOC?
Super VOOC is 50W, the same like Huaweis SuperCharge 2.
Did you test SuperCharge 2 or VOOC?
My OP6T charges up to 100% in 1hr 22mins, so I don't charge overnight anymore. Go to sleep on 40% and charge in the morning
The combo of battery life and crazy fast charging is for the first time breaking me of the "plug it in overnight" habit that I have had since my first cell phone over a decade ago. I can keep my charger at my desk, plug it in for half an hour, and be at 100% with almost no chance of running out before the next morning. That means fewer vampire chargers around the house wasting power, and fewer charge cycles lost leaving the phone plugged in long after it's full. I wish I had swapped to OnePlus sooner - I think I have finally found a phone maker to call my favorite.
The charging Speed with "Dash charge" is amazing.
Within few minutes the battery is from 0% to over 50%!
Generelly I can only say: Amazing battery life. The best I ever had with a phone (except Nokia 3310).
I started to charge when the battery was 5%. It took around 1 hour 20 mins. I can say this to be quite faster when compared to the devices I have used previously, that too when the size of the battery is much bigger than the previous phones.

The incredibly fast charging, coupled with the insane battery life (especially in dark mode) has made me totally OK with no wireless charging. I used to leave my phone on the charging pad at my desk most of the day, and on my nightstand charging pad overnight. I never had to worry about charging at all and plugged in maybe 20 times max over the last two years with my Note5. I said I'd never buy a phone without wireless charging, but the $350 or so I got for my Note5 exchange for this phone was just too tempting to overlook, particularly if it set up my family for the next two to three years (our current phones didn't have band 71 and Samsung said no more security updates). The only thing I was really worried about was wireless charging and whether or not the battery life and dash charging would be enough for me to overcome range anxiety.
It has.
So I'm thinking of keeping my dash charger at home ,and my 30w aukey charger at work ,I take it this will be ok to use ?

It should be. If you are starting from full in the morning I doubt you will even need the charger are work except for very rare instances. I have gotten 7 hours SOT that was mostly gaming on this thing, moderate use you can easily get 24 hours, light use around 48.

How slow are we talking; how long does it take for it to go from 0% to a 100%?
Sent from my Mi A1 using XDA Labs
About 2hrs and 15 mins. And this is when you don't use your phone while charging at all.

My Mi A1 has almost the same capacity and charges in about 2 hours. I think that's acceptable.
Sent from my Mi A1 using XDA Labs
it took me 1 hr 35min to charge from 10-100%.
getting battery backup of 1 day & 2,4 hours above
no gaming(not a mobile gamer)
Charging are so slow it tooks atleast 2 hours to get full charge, and is not acceptable. What year is it? 2016? My other phone with lower price than this can perform 35% faster.
Pretty fast, especially when using QC3.0 charger.
0-80% is fast, but 80-100% is pretty slow in my opinion. It's a good thing tho, makes the battery last longer.
Fast charging should refer to the initial phase. If you plug in for 20 minutes it should give you enough power for atleast 5-6 hours. Sadly, that is not happening over here.

Some people here say that their device takes longer to charge and all. I say there a some important factors to consider -
1. Heat of the Device - How hot it was when you put it on charge. If it is hot, then definitely your phones regulator will reduce the amount of charge let into the phone.
2. Ambient Temperature - If the climate is hot, then automatically fast charging will increase device temperature. And as Black color absorbs more heat energy phones temperature will naturally be more than in a chilled room. (All phones are susceptible to this phenomenon, I've Experienced this first hand) and more heat = low speed charging
3. Power Outlet - The power outlet at which the charger is connected also plays a very important role. Pretty Self explanatory.
My Phone takes around 1:40 - 1:50Hrs at normal temps(ambient and device), while 2:30Hrs in a very hot condition.
too slow , it takes me over 2 hours to 25% to fully charge

Question Steady charging not working

I'm on the latest .151 build and I think steady charging does not work for me.
Maybe I didn't get the functionality or I misunderstood something but it doesn't matter what charging mode I use, it always charges incredible fast unless I use my old charger.
When I plug my device and go to the steady/ultra steady settings it claims it would take as long as a 18 watt charger and would take ~1h until it's full. However it mostly only takes around 35 minutes (I don't go from 0% to 100%). When I use my old (Oneplus 5 or Nexus 5) charger it takes around 1.5h.
Is there a way to tell if I load the phone via hypercharge or steady charge? Forum mods mentioned both share the same animation and no matter if you use hyper or steady it's always listed as hyper charge in the lock screen.
As soon as I plug my device all notifications appear claiming it would be ultra steady and scheduled.
So my questions
- how can I tell if it's working?
- does it work for you?
- would be using my old charger a better alternative?
- how long takes ultra steady for you?
Things I've already tried
- I did a factory reset
- cleared all caches of Powermaster app
- restarted the phone multiple times
I am on .151 as well, and use the steady charging feature without issue. I typically plug it in around 30% give or take a little bit, and let it charge to 80% with the limiter. Usually takes 25-30 mins to complete this. I was skeptical at first as to whether or not it was working as intended, but I have a USB gauge which verified it was indeed working. I will run it again the next time I charge to give you the exact information, but as I recall it was approximately 16.9w at about 2 amps.
Thank you very much for your answer. So you use steady - not ultra steady?
Because my experience is nearly the same I plug it at ~25/30% until 80% and ~55% in ~30 minutes seems pretty damn fast for a 6000mAh battery.
Especially when I look at the settings when I charge my phone it shows ultra steady === 18w charger but when I really use my old 18w charger it takes waaaaaay longer. That's why I was so confused.
I would be really really glad if you could help me understand if it works as it should or not. I expected a charging time of 1.5h or so to be honest

I do use the ultra steady charging option. I popped it on for a minute to get the read out. I am going to kill the phone sometime this weekend and measure capacity with the device and see what it says.
Ignore the other readings on there for now as I didn't reset them before taking that pic.
I see, thank you very much.
So it indeed charges (compared to other/older phones) extremely fast even on ultra steady - at least in my opinion.
Why are you going to kill the phone O.O?
You don't like it?

I meant I'm going to let the battery die completely then use the USB tester to confirm battery capacity.
I really like the phone and plan on keeping it barring any issues
So I let the phone die and did a full charge from 0%-100%. I did it with the phone turned on. It appears to be charging at the claimed 18w the whole time. Next time I do it I will do it with the phone off. The mah didn't get captured properly for sure though.
For the first 3% it did charge at a speedy rate, which I did include a screen shot of. Once I turned the phone on that rate was never seen again.
