I just got the LG G3 a few days ago and its charging at a rate of over 18+ amps! (Over 18000+ mA). My phone was on 35% about 10 min ago. Now it is at 63%. This is the first time i checked the charge current for this phone. My previous phone was a galaxy s3 and it averaged a charge current of 0.8-1.1 amps. I am not sure if this is a good or bad thing. My phones temp doesnt seem hot, also its charging incredibly fast. If anyone has had this happen please reply. I know this is not normal. I took a screenshot of the charge monitor. The app i used. To test the currents was "Battery Monitor Widget". In the picture you will see a red circle with a arrow pointed to it. That is the time when i took the charger off and replaced it with my other adapter but kept using the same cable.

That is wicked, though it had me scared! I tested wireless charging (I bought an insert for the back from AliExpress.com to make it Qi compatible) and also tested from the power adapter given to me with the phone. Below the yellow line is wireless charging and above is with the stock power cable. Notice that they are 0.5mAh different, but the mV is the same, so they charge about the same. Interesting! I'll have to test this further.
Cheers for posting this!
This could be why I burnt through a series of chargers a few weeks ago.....
Ok so I am now using the standard charger that i get up to 1800mA with. I gotta say though my charger that i modified charged my phone lightning fast with no heating issues as well or damaging of the battery. Unfortunately the modified charger can only be used with the newer phones. I had it tested with the galaxy s4, galaxy s5, and the htc one m8. But the only newer phone that didnt work with was the one plus one. The LG G3 definitely had the highest amp charge out of all of the phones. I will be doing more tests soon. But just to be safe i will be using my normal charger while i am away from the phone or when im sleeping. Here is the screenshot of the current charge with the stock charger.

Highly doubt that app is reporting accurately.
Omg can believe you guys are missing the mA flow ... +5197mA (+199.88%) per hour
These aren't output from your power adapter, it's a tally of how many mA have been recorded. Also from looking at your notification bar you have two blue tooth devices one of which isn't fully charged. There's a good chance this app doesn't account for that.
If you are using the standard charger, you can get 9 watts from it. No more. Given the voltage of the battery of 4v, there's little reason to think you could really be charging more than about 2200mA actual current into device, probably less due losses. For the the a 3000mAh battery, this means about 75 minutes to charge. I think the app is reporting something else or we are miss interpreting the data.

Hi, I just had my SGSII for couple of days and noticed inconsistent battery charging rate which I've ruled out that is not charger/cable dependent. So I would like to ask if anyone have similar issue or could offer an explanation.
Basically I use the phone charges sometimes at 20%/hour, and sometimes at 40%/hour. I've been using both the samsung stock charger & iphone's 2A charger and there is no correlation between the charging rate & the charger I use. I use debloated Samsung ROM and the faux kernel.
The only other explanation that it could be is that when I get 40% charging rate, I was using 7b4(I think, not entirely sure), at 20%/hour, i was using stock, faux 7r2 or 9r.
below are the screen shot, among 5 times I've charged the phone #2 & #3 were at 40%/hour, the rests were at 20%/hour:

The device will charge the fastest when it is turned off. If you are streaming music, tethering and running other applications, it will obviously charge slower.
My phone has always been on idle when it's being charged so far. what's your charging rate?

Depends on what the phone is doing. If its idle and there are a lot of background processes going on, the rate is slower.

I believe it has to do with chargers in my case.
Since October I've used only two chargers the Samsung one that comes with the phone and my Kindle 1 charger.
Samsung: 40-50%
Kindle: 10-20%
90% of the time the phone is idling.
alright, i charged the phone again using the the stock charger, and it was about 40%/hour on standby mode. Weird I thought I tested it using the OEM charger and it was also 20%/hour. guess I remember it wrong...
ahh.. .here finally found the original topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332522&highlight=charging
there was a lot of good info on that one, as well as some unexplained behaviour, the same you are trying to figure out
all i know is that yes 2A charger does work, regardless of what the tester shows
and the Battery Widget App, i use it too, and i have to agree it's not very accurate, as it will only show you the actual rater after 2 minutes of charging it
however it's very close to the real values, specially when it's charging and the current flow, i get readings that matches the input quality of the charger, as in USB, Wall, 1 Amp, 2 Amp, 0.7 Amp, 0.45 Amp and so on
there is also the possibility of risking to be stuck at 100% when not using them OEM charger. I have couple of 3rd party charger lying around, so I'm going to try them one by one and see which one works. At least now i know that the apple charger does not work well with the phone(at least the older one, stuck at 100% after charged, and slow charging rate despite it's rated at 1.5Ah+, going to try my newer ipad2 charger).
as for the 100% stuck, as some other have pointed out it only happens when you use AC chargers of any kind
charging via USB doesn't cause the problem
using the original Samsung AC to USB charger also does not cause the problem simply because it's still using USB charging
i had another original OEM Samsung charger that i plugged in and it was also causing the 100% stuck issue, so it's just some sort of confirmation the phone seems to be expecting from a USB power/data cord but is not found on an AC power cord

Typical 9999 day warranty. I'd stay away. We all know these cheap Chinese electronics go bad on day 10,000.
instead of going for the cheapest go for the most vfm.anker external batteries.check em out on amazon.they tout the maximum capacity for a given price range.astro series;10000mah pack i am using currently.it comes with 18 months warranty.you may opt for the smaller ones too.
I have bad experiencing with those cheap battery packs. Usually they have a high capacity, but they still lose charge very quickly.
I had a 5500mAh battery pack for my Galaxy Nexus, which should be enough for charging it 3 times. The first 3 times it worked alright, but afterwards I was lucky to get one charge out of it. Still, one charge is of course always useful.
Can't be any more disappointing then my fluxmob bolt. Spend $60 and it'll charge about 30% of the battery.

Alright, gonna make this review based off one charge.
It arrived yesterday afternoon and I put it on the charger for 8 hours. It has three LEDs on the side that show how much remaining charge the unit has. I discharged my phone to 13% and rebooted then plugged this thing in. The phone thinks it's charging ac so the phone charged to 100% in about an hour and a half. The unit is blinking the final led now. So one full charge is expected.
I'm satisfied and if anyone has any questions let me know.

Nice review. Gonna pickup one myself now
Got pretty decent results with this. Getting around 100 charge. Also goes on AC mode which is good in getting the charge up quick
Yeah that's what I'm seeing. It's nice because normally about 6 hours into my shift I get down to around 14% then I plug into this bad boy and charge it back up before I head home and start the rest of my day.
Just leave the battery on the charger in my car then take it back into work the next day and start the whole thing over again

So Yesterday I put my phone on the charger and noticed after 2 hours it stayed at 5%. And though just to restart the device, however that didn't work. So at 3 am in the morning I turned it off and threw it on the charger over night woke up to find its at 1% as I type this now.
Is it my battery that's done for or my Note 3 HW?

try new cable and charger base. If neither work, call for replacement.
Or get a new battery save yourself the time you'll have to wait to get another.
It's probably the usb cable, mine went out a month ago, same thing happened to me it wouldn't charge tried another cable battery charged without any issues. So more than likely the cable is bad.

Well I ordered two new anker batteries along with the external charger, and that but that's my problem nothing wrong with a charger or USB cable. My battery just simply would not charge it could not hold one anymore, I literally put it on the charger the entire night and the phone stayed at 5 percent and then as soon as I started do anything on my phone it literally shut my phone off while on the charger during a text message.
I guess it just died.

This same thing pretty much happened to me. Actually exactly the same thing... including the extra Anker batteries and charger as well as testing different cords. I ended up ordering a wireless charging kit, and now all is well. I've been using it with one of the Anker batteries. I ordered the Koolpad charger and the white slim wireless chip off of Amazon. It charges through my Seidio case, and I put velcro onto the charger and the back of the case so that I could easily use it while charging. The wireless charging kit cost about $40 on Amazon (I imagine pretty close to what a new official Sammy charger and cable would cost) and the Koolpad charger came with a black and a white micro USB (not USB 3 but still...) port cover, which I thought was a nice touch.
No guarantee that this would work for you, of course, but it did for me fortunately. If it didn't I would have taken it back to the store (after re-flashing the stock ROM, which may have solved the problem on it's own). Oh yeah, not really sure if this is actually related / possible but I did theorize that the problem may have been kernel related. I had actually been following the wireless charging thread anyways, but if I wasn't already considering spending money on that, the first thing I would have tried would have been a clean install of everything. I was testing out different kernels with Tweaked ROM and the problem started around a new kernel flash, but really can't say if that's related because I was unimpressed with that kernel overall and flashed one that ran better on my phone around the time that the wireless charger showed up (got one day shipping w/ Amazon Prime because shutting down my phone to rotate batteries got old quick, as I'm sure you'll agree). Anyways, good luck. There's lots of good info in that wireless charging thread, if you decide to go that route.
Mine takes 6 hours to go from 10% to 100% using the included samsung charger and cable. That seems like a long time.
Mine takes 2 or 3 hours. 6 hour charge might are the chargers with slow charging. My dad has a slpw charger till he changed it. Have you tried changing chargers?
It's USB 2.0 so it's expected to be slow. The 3.0 port would have been bigger. Samsung sacrificed charging speed for aesthetic. To be the thinnest tablet they've ever made.
This is the first tablet for me and in effects.....too much slow on charges. Fortunately I use only at home. A part that....it's a bomb !!
Too long
I just bought a TAB S and using the included charger and cable it has taken 10 hours to go from 18% to 58%. The tab was turned off. TOO SLOW. Do I have a defective tab? Please let me know so I can return it.

one of my friend has this tablet. i got 2.5A charger. he also complained this issue to me. i gave him my charger and it charged to 100% in about 3 hours. now he would not return my charger.
DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK! but i will recommend u guys to get the charger of say, Oppo find 7. or any ANDROID device charger which is more than 2A. it will be better. of course, better find samsung charger with more amperage.
again, DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK, IM NOT RESPONSIBLE for anything! (just to clear my self)

Samsung Model EP-TA10JWE that the same as original one but it charge faster that the old one , I think Bcuz the original is old enough for me to buy new one
Mine charges exactly from 0 to 100 in 4 hours.
A full charge take around 5hrs.

the original cable never goes more than 1000-1200 mah because it became rapidly too old.

That`s not a full charge 7900mah / 1800ma is 4.38hrs and it`s over 5hrs when you add the 20% charge inefficiency.
1750ma is the highest charging rate according to my usb power meter that i have seen with my 10.5"

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the OnePlus X can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Administrators and Moderators!
Please take up the order in the old forums.
Well I don't need sugar+caffeine, but regarding the phone it takes at least 100 minute to charge from 1% to 100% on a power socket. On a USB port - I have not tried yet, but it could take double the time I guess.
Pretty crappy. This thing pulls about 1.2mA from the socket and therefore takes a while to charge up. Say about 2 hours to full from 10-15%.
Max amp draw I get. Same with a 10w USB charger or the one plus stock.

5% to 100% i only need 1 hour 40 minutes something. So its fine with me.
1.5 hours. Pretty fast
Better than Galaxy S3 (my former phone)
120 Minutes (2 Hours) from 5% to 100% for me.
90minutes from 0 to 100℅ which seems pretty fast to me as compared to other phones with "fast charge" which can take take 2h45m for full charge(4000mah)
Hi folks,
Last night, my oneplus X took almost 4 to 5 hours from 0 to 97% (not really 100%!). I noticed this degradation of charging since a couple of months, but i can not figure it out if it came from the battery or from the charger. I tried with another charger, and it takes almost the same time...
And also my battery seems to be less efficient, so i have to consider to replace it or there is another solution ?
Thanks

Well, this is an unfortunate tell of events. Onyx has a very very inaccurate fuelguager and it doesn't seem to adjust with time so as the battery degrades, it gets dramatically worse. I too have the sane issue and no matter what I do to circumvent this in my kernel sources, it always pops back up.
Point being, there really isn't a solution though I do soon hope to take a closer look at the fuelguager and rewrite bits of it in my kernel to improve its accuracy

I had the same issue. At some point charging became very slow. But if it's decharging at a normal rate, then it's not the battery.
In my case, getting the charging port repaired at a local phone repair shop did the trick. Now charging from 0 to 100% doesn't take 4 hours anymore, but again 1.5 to 2 hours.
enable USB fast charging in Kernel aduitor that also helps.
Keep mobile data off when charging that also speeds up charging.
Not sure if the phone is old. It seems slower to charge. 2 to 2.5 hours with no usage during charging.
Anyone face this?
On lineage 15.1 june build and usb fast charge enabled. Using stock charger.

Check charging rate with "Ampere" .
Then, try to unactivate USB debugging and check again (after plug / unplug).
