First charge? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I buyed the n7100 today, how many hours should the mobile charge?
sry for my bad english^^

How long it takes to complete charging. Mine takes around 2 hrs 45 mins from almost empty.

Until the phone says it is fully charged (battery 100%). That should take between little over 1 hour (battery partially charged, as it normally arrives) to almost 3 hours for a very low battery.
Ignore those indications to have a first charge of 6, 8 or even 12 hours. They are no longer valid for modern LiOn batteries.

Exactly, just charge it and use it, nothing to worry about op.

How long do you charge your XPlay for....?

I charge it for about 3 and a half hours just before going to bed. So that's from 8:00 PM - 11:30 PM and take the charger out.
Anyways how long are we supposed to charge the Xperia Play for ?
I charge mine all night from about 10 pm to 6am nearly every night and have had the phone since launch day and never had any problems with the battery or charger but routhly once a month I let the battery completely die to 0% then fully recharge

Oh right. So its okay to leave the phone on charge overnight. I think i'll just do that then and every month just drain battery and recharge fully !
I actually don't plug my phone into the charger. I bought some after-market batteries that are the same as the stock battery. I used to have 2 spares, but one was faulty, so I'm down to my main battery and the spare. I leave a battery on the charger until I need it, then stick the other one in the charger. I'd say they stay on the charger for up to 24 hours.

So you take each battery out of the Xperia Play and charge them ?
Yup. Once you take the battery out, wait about 30 seconds before putting it in so the battery usage gets wiped. Once you put the other battery in, boot up and you're good to go.
Depending on my usage, I usually just charge it over night, leaving it plugged in from when I go to bed, normally around midnight, to when I get up again at 7ish. I've never had any problems doing this, I am however a VERY high usage person, so a lot of the time I have to give it a top up in the middle of the day, before I go to work.
I usually charge up to 100% right before I go to bed and unplug it and reboot it. I've still got 99~100% in the morning.

When i'm just scrolling through menus when having the display on for about 2-3 mins 1% of battery goes. Is this normal and does this happen with yours ?
I charge mine for two hours only
Is it okay to charge the Xperia Play through a extension unit ?
I charge 1-2 times a day. Basically every night before bed I plug it in and it stays for about 6-7 hours, But the bad cell signal at work eats through my battery if I do a lot of texting or anything so by around 4 pm sometimes I plug in for an hour and top up (I'm usually around 25% at that point), or sometimes when I get home but know I'll be headed out I plug in for 1/2 hour or 45 min to get it up around 70-80% or so and I'm good till I get home, even if I play games and stuff or whatever else.

Thanks for that. I think i'll have to do that from now on.
isn't it bad to charge the battery after it reaches one hundred percent?

No because the phone stops charging. It only accepts charging at 99.99% or lower basically.

I used to charge my play about 2hours if the batt completly discharged..sometime at the whole night.depend when it is fully discharge.
So is it better to charge it for longer?

How long does it last for after that ?

[Q] Initial full charge duration

How long did it take on you guys' devices to fully charge before starting it for the first time? Im asking because I'm getting mine delivered this wednesday at work at around 2PM, and I leave at 5PM. Will it be fully charged in three hours? i dont want to interrupt it the very fist time already...
I did mine yesterday in around 4 hours, it was power off so I didn't know when it exactly fully charged, when the time I saw the green LED light(i guess it's 90%) I still let it charge for an hour or so i think.
But I guess this thing doesn't matter anymore on lithium ion and lithium polymer(htc one x) batteries, it was important last time during nickel cadmium days.

Green light is full.
I used mine instantly after purchase, it only had about 15-20% left so I started charging it at 8%, took a few hours.. quite long.. but I guess that process will speed up after a while, like my other phone.

My one x is currently charging and has been for roughly three quarters of an hour. The documentation it came with said that you have to charge it for at least 14 hours! That sounds ridiculous to me.
Did you guys have any issues with the battery after charging it for 3 or 4 hours?

14?? due i just charged till it became full ... even that was a little more than 3 hours .. this is official htc docs?? u sure ??
I'd say you just let it charge a night (+/- 8 hours) before you start using it. That's the most optimal way to charge it the first time.
But I couldn't wait so I just started charging the device from the start but also used it (which is imo still better then not charging).
A lot of people also say you shouldn't let the battery drop below 10 % on purpose, better just charge it every night! That's what I did with my HTC Desire (AOSP rom) and one full charge lasted 2 days of average use after 1.5 years. Hope to get the same result with this phone.
I left it for about 5 hours until it was fully green. First days usage today and it's been alright. I'd post a screenshot but xda app won't let me upload png. About 9 hours moderate use and at 10% now

Nah its not the htc official docs, it was part of the phones 4 u pack I was sent. I believe its suspect at best.

If I had enough patience then I would definitely leave it to charge for 8 hours. I'll crack the moment the led turns green, I know it.
I've heard that 40% is the optimum level of charge for keeping the battery healthy

Yes that can very well be, that's the % I normally had left on the Desire after a day (with more then average use). I charged it every night and the battery was still awesome at the end. Considering the One X has the same battery technology I'm going to do the exact same thing.
Keep in mind that a green led doesn't mean it is fully charged (at least not the first time). The led turns green when the software says the battery is full, but the issue is that the battery never had been full when you charge it the first time. So that first green led is quite useless, the software isn't optimized yet. Rather watch the clock!

The thing that worries me about charging it every night is that it remains plugged in for several hours after its reached full battery. There isn't much you can really do about that though.
Yeah, I was told that the first couple of charges were used to calibrate the battery monitor and you have to make sure that its fully charged before you unplug. In fact, my Nexus s (soon to be 'my old nexus s') only ever charged up to '97%' according to the various battery widgets I used. This may have been to do with me not charging it properly the first time.
What I want to know is can I turn it on and let it continue to charge? That way I can set it up and install my apps etc (and, of course, have a play) so I don't go insane waiting without damaging the battery life.
There we go.
Not bad for first day I suppose.

Not bad at all for the first day. The LED indicator is green now and I'm desperately trying to be patient and wait a little longer. I need willpower.

Did you check what your screen on time was?
First time 2.5 hours, now from 0 to 100% around 3 hours.

Galaxy note 2 charging help

Just unboxed note 2 ..
I wana know how much time it takes to full charge from zero?
And this is my first use ..how much should I charge?
In the mains about 2-3 hours. Double that via usb. But it lasts a hell of a long time in fairness.

Should I charge for 6 to 8 hours
Ah that's a coincidence.
A few days ago I measured the time it took per minute to charge with the included adapter (which is 2A); it charges 0,93% p/minute. So it takes 107,5 minutes to full charge.
With a 1A adapter it charges 0,54% p/minute (185,2 minutes for a full charge).

Modern li-ion batteries dont need that long first charge.. it was only needed with nimh batteries.
but it wont hurt. i allways make the first 3 charges long and allways try to get down the battery to 20% before i charge.
better to be safe then sorry
Battery of my Note 2 take 3 to 4 hours to charge dont know how you guys manage it in 107 minutes! Tested the charger to be sure but i think its allright.
The battery is fine too, it lasts 8 hours of use without charging. and 4 to 5 hours of use time and 20 hours standby (24 hours total) with light use i get round 3 hours screen on time and 48 hours standby.
But charging it in 1.5 hours.... no way! It takes more then 8 hours to charge in an USB port

usb port around 8 hours sounds normal to me as 5v 500ma, and mains charger is 2A and I get about 1.5 - 2 hours fully charged from dry

Normal charger takes 4 to 6 hours to charge. even when Phone is off. i tried using another 2Amp wall charger and replaced the battery. also reseted to factory default.
All with no luck. I dont know whats wrong bu i think its in the software. because when charged allot on USB or short charges when only 10% charging. the software/battery seems to fail to give the right amount of power. and the calibration is off. Sometimes when i have 20% left and reboot the Phone it all of a sudden has 30% or more.
Since the latest update this has become worse and worse.
The battery is easily lasting 24 hours with 4 to 6 hours screen on time. so i think there is no power draining going on.
I really think its an error in the note 2 software. i read allot about people having the same issue and need to charge their Phone for hours only to see its charged 50%.

battery charging??

I had the htc one for a couple days i noticed it can charge from around 5 percent to full within 1 hour-1hour-1/2. I just installed battery widget reborn and it states that it will be fully charged within 4 hours. I also read about the charging time being 4 hours also they covered that in a bunch of online video reviews. Is there some kind of software glitch that shows its fully charged but not really charged all the way?? just weird little thing to me.... thanks guys for any input...........
My phone doesn't take 4 hours to charge unless I'm running aosp. Then it will take around 4 hours.

I've calibrated my battery a couple times this month due to ROM and kernel updates and it takes just over 2hrs from zero. It has never taken 4 hours for me. Running Viper/Elite Lunar.
Battery calibration is a myth. In android once you hit 100% it deletes the batterystats.bin which makes the stats start over. When you do the calibration all you're doing is manually deleting that file which does nothing really. If your battery drops large amounts between a reboot or drains super fast it is probably a bad battery.

Did you follow the instruction on you battery packadge??? Even though it said 100% on the charge indicator for your phone your supossed to charge for 12 hours? and run it dead and then 5 full run and dead cycles.. run it dead down to 3%.
