Hi guys,
Just wondering if you have noticed that charging a device whilst off seems no faster than when the device is on. Do you experience that too?
I am using the Port Power charging cable with the Boise 7port charger and it still takes approx 2.5hrs for a full charge.
Keen to hear how long your charging takes whilst on and off.
Thanks

HTC is known for slower charging rate because battery is sealed behind motherboard, it's not possible to replace as you would need a whole new motherboard if you accidentally break it.
Stop worrying about how long it takes to charge, take a look at the Anandtech website review for HTC One M8, look at the graph chart comparing charging rate with other phone, it's very similar but just slightly slower than others.
Charging your phone faster than intended will harm your battery life, just be happy and get used to it.

Forgive my ignorance, but how would that affect charge rate?

That is going to vary from one user to another, due to varying degrees of idle battery usage; which in turn depends on your specific reception quality (poor network reception results in battery drain), features turned on (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) and background syncing of apps, email, etc.
In reality, the phone will always take longer to change while on versus turned off, since its always going to consume some degree of power even while idle. But if your idle battery usage is rather low, the effects of that may be relatively minor.
For example, my idle battery usage is around 2% per hours. If it takes around 2 hours to "fully" charge (I almost never drain to empty of even, but charge frequently) then the idle battery usage during that time is 4%. Just rounding numbers off to simplify the math, if it takes 2 hours to charge 100%; then that means charge rate is 120min/100% = 1.2 min per percent. Which means the "additional" charge time needed to offset the idle battery usage is 1.2min/percent * 4% = 4.8 min. Therefore, for this example, the "extra" charge time for on (idle) versus off is less than 5 minutes. Again, the math is simplified, but that's pretty close.
Now, if your idle battery usage is higher (and I know folks are always commenting about high battery drain during the day) than that means your charge times are going to be impacted much more, resulting in longer charge times on versus off.

Never said that it would affect the charge rate. It's just that HTC changed the charging rate to be slightly slower than other devuces because battery is not user friendly replacement and it will help to keep the battery performance to remain consistent throughout the years. You can however use quickcharge to charge faster but I'm talking about the origianl OEM charger is optimised to keep the battery performance for years
All I'm saying is the charging rate is very similar with other devices, just don't bother trying to achieve fastest charging rate, you may do more harm to your battery than having quick burst of energy to 100%.

Thanks guys, for your replies.
My question arose from reading various articles on fast charge 2.0 and poor battery life since upgrading to Lollipop.
Some articles suggest a better gauge cable will maximise charge rate, which led me to leaning that a sync cable has its own limitations to, that can be overcome by earthing the centre pins to disable the sync component and allow for higher charge rate.
I picked up the Bolse 7 port Charger with Smart IC which is supposed to detect the maximum charge rate and stop charging when 100%
Recently I picked up the PortaPowa charging cable which has a larger gauge cable.
That being said, if the device is off, then the Bolse charger may not be able to detect which device it is. If the device is on, then maybe it could detect the device type and as such charge accordingly.

Not sure, but I believe the charge rate is determined by the battery (smart circuitry on the battery itself), not the device; and therefore may not matter if he device is on or off.
If you think about it, there must be some charging management going on while the device is off. Otherwise, charging while off would not work properly at all.

All Li ion chargers stop charging at 100%, otherwise the battery would overheat and catch fire or explode.

I got my Note 10.1 2014 Edition yesterday. I noticed out of the box that it was draining extremely fast. When I put it on the charger, it charged very slow.
I put the tablet on the charger while I slept (6hrs), the tablet did not even charge fully. Only to 88%.
Anyone have battery drain or slow charging issues?
it's possible you have a bum unit. are you using the supplied charger and cable? some cables aren't high enough quality to sustain the higher charge rate and of course some chargers don't output enough power.

Yes, I am using the 2 AMP charger. I have it fully charged now. I am going to test it for the next day or so and it see how it performs. I will report back.
Mine also seems to charge really slow and drain way faster than my 2012 model. I noticed that the AC adapter gets really hot. I've tried with two USB cables and no such luck in improving anything. I don't know what's going on here. I need to some objective comparison testing but this just doesn't feel right to me.
I couldn't get to 100% on the initial charge until after I turned it on. It kind of just hung there in that 88% area.

so far I'm at 1 day 6.5 hrs with 5.25hrs screen and at 38%. not ag good as the old note, but the old gn101 wwasn't as purdy!
Charging and drain
Mine took a charge over night but the battery drains fast. I noticed that the auto brightness is set way too low. Perhaps that's how they got the claimed hours of use.
It does charge pretty slow, I'm surprised they didn't include a micro usb 3.0 like the note 3. I noticed last night that when I was plugged in to the included charger and streaming a video from chrome, it actually drained battery rather than charged. Even using it with lighter tasks significantly slows down charging, making it almost a requirement to charge it overnight.
It drains relatively quickly but if i can get 6+ hours of screen on time, between that and my phone it should last me more than a day of heavy use.
until the battery drains to 80% it's at trickle/slow charge. below 80 it charges full power. mine took 3.5hrs from 20 to 100. it took 2hrs 20 min to go 20 to 80 then 1.5 hrs for the last 20%.
Charging and drain
I noticed it drains quickly for the first 15 or 20% but lasts much longer after that. So I can only think that it's not reading the charge evenly.
I experienced a similar issue today. Had it plugged in overnight and most of the morning. Went to unplug it earlier and it was frozen at 83%. That was after about 12 hours of charging. I plugged it in around 40% last night.
The first two nights charged to 100% fine.
when i first got the note it kept getting stuck at 64% but the next day i charged it completely.
this has definitely got to be the reason one of those reviews said it's 7hrs to full charge.
i haven't taken the update yet so i'm assuming the some of you guys have and it's not changed anything. i haven't had any issue yet, but i also haven't had a need to recharge yet.
Old thread, but I am running into two issues:
1. I agree on the drain, but will use for another week to see how things go. So far the battery drain is considerably more than the iPad 4 and Dell 5130.
2. I can not find a spare cable that will allow slow charge through a computer USB. Cables allow MTP, but there is an X on the charge symbol. I tried charging while asleep and when shut off and same result. Not charging.
One of the reasons I got this was not to have to rely on keeping the charger with me like some other Android tablets.
Today I updated my galaxy tab S to 5.0.2 stock. I've had two issues with the update, by the way I'm using the LTE version, one is really slow charging like 10 to 15% an hour slow, And the other is at the fingerprint sensor keeps failing on me asking me to restart.I just keep tapping okay and eventually it will be back to normal really annoying an popping of these dialog boxes to go away I just keep tapping okay and eventually it will be back to normal. I'm not sure about the finger scanner BEFORE the update, but I can tell you I've never dropped it, while charging seemed to be at 25-30 an hour before. Normal or strange?
It sounds like you might need to recalibrate the battery, you can download free apps from the play store that delete the battery calibration data and then you do a full discharge and charge to make a new one, you need to be rooted.
There is a way to recalibrate without be rooted, but it has to be done manually just ask.
The calculation below are just a guess as i never fully charge my 10.5" and have now done about 170 days without restarting it, never since i got it.
I have the 10.5" and it has an 7900mah battery, and it charges at 1800ma till it hits 80% then it slows down, so using a battery charge time calculator it will take me 5H to go from 0% to 80%
If you have the 8.4" as it has an 4900mah battery, if it charges at 1800ma to 80% , it will take 3H to go from 0% to 80%
It`s the last 20% that take the longest to finish as the charge rate is reduce lower and lower till it hits 100%, so i only ever charge my 10.5" to 80% plus it`s better for the battery.
I use GSam Battery Monitor to sound an alarm when the charge hits 80%

I have the 10.5 and it's slow even on lower percent.. Been charging for 2h only gone up 10% from 3 to 12.
Definitely something wrong there.
Are you using the original charger and usb cable, as other chargers and cable can be really slow.
Try the app below, it should tell you your charging current, it should be around 1800ma

Samsung charger is broken, with an LG charger it shows max at 1800 mA, so there's the problem. Thanks!
Great that you have found your problem, did you fix the fingerprint sensor problem you were having?
Also that LG charger are you using, do you have the model number? , as it`s hard to find non Samsung chargers that charge fast.
Thanks
John.
To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Samsung Galaxy S7 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
charging speed is fine, but anyway after quick charging the phone has like 20-30% less battery life ...

I am saying that battery life is incredible ... but I noticed when I charge the phone using fast charging from like 10% to 100% then it is loosing capacity much faster ... that is it ... I am still satisfied
Interesting, thanks.
I disabled fast charging since on my S6 Active it used to make the phone insanely hot and actually started burning the cable at the point where it connected to the phone.
That being said, I'm actually really impressed how fast this phone charges with just a usb cable from a computer or car usb port. Very fast charging without 'fast charging' enabled.
Charging speed.
There is only a 10 minutes difference between fats charging on and off on my s7. Is that normal?
It charge 0-60% quick but after that it charge normal speed.
I've also noticed that.. I thought was something with me, or it was just a feeling from myself!
But now I've seen more people dealing with same "problem" (if we can put it that way)!
When I charge with Fast Charging ENABLE, the S7 seems to drain battery faster then when I charge with Fast Charging DISABLE!

Totally agree! I had SOT time till yesterday about 2-3h...and yesterday i had to charge my phone with regular 2A 5V charger at work...takes 30 minutes more time but SOT was allmost 7 hours
I'm not comfortable with how hot my phone gets while fast charging. Reading this, I'll try turning it off. I'm also uncomfortable with how hot wireless charging makes my phone. I doubt I'll use it much unless the micro USB port goes.
How much time do you keep your phone in charging?
Mine is charging in 1 hour and 45 minutes, but i keep it 2 hours. ( I disabled Fast Charging )
maybe to reduce heat, don't wait until phone is <66% battery level to charge it up ?
About 1h wifi charging
Using QC2.0 charger is really quick.
Charges pretty fast, I turned off quick charging because my phone gets very warm.
10% in about 10-20 minutes?
I use volt meter with fast charge on get arount 1.7a and with fast charge off around 1.3a. It's pretty fast even fast charge is off
What wireless charger are you guys using?! Specifically you guys with hot phones. The reason I ask is because my s6 use to get hot using the standard samsung fast wireless charging pad. Now with the newer Samsung fast wireless charging stand it is cooler to touch. I also noticed there is a fan runing being the pad.
Perhaps the fan is helping keeping the phone cooler then other pads?!

But, with fast charge it uses about 9 volts wich means a max of about 15 watt.
without fast charge it uses about 5 volts which means a max of about 6,5 watt
So less then half max power without fast charge..
I haven´t seen the phone getting more then 1,4 amps on 5 volt even with stock charger..
Just nowI tried and get this. No idea @@

Guys, just quick question. Today morning I plug my phone to the original charger (phone was totally discharged (switched off)) and after boot it said me "Quick Charging, fully charged after 3 hours". Bloody hell, is it any type of joke? I thought that quick charging feature is about quick charging, isn't it? Next problem which I have last time (the day before yesterday probably) was that phone told me "fully charged after 1 hour and 20 minutes" but it took almost 2 hours. I use original nexus charger.
Has anyone the some experience with this type of "fast" charging?
Thanks in advance.
My phone charges slowly only when i use it plugged in to the wall...Make sure the slow charge is a software issue and not a hardware,try to calibrate the battery and if it doesn't work try to flash the stock google images (do a backup before flashing),finally,send as a screenshot of your battery stats while charging to see how bad your device charging rates are!...

If your screen is on or the battery is warm, it will charge much slower.
I suggest you leave the screen turned off and let it charge, and check back in 30minutes to see if the charge time has updated to reflect a faster charging rate.
Should charge perfectly fine if you have the screen off and don't use it. I regularly go 15% to 90% in 60 minutes.

It's cause you started at near 40%. All fast charging has basically three levels that tapers from fastest to slowest. Basically in simplest terms it's 0-40% full fast charging, 40-80% regular charging, 80-100% slowest. There's actual numbers with mAh readings for exact details but no need for that. It does this for temperature control. It's also why a lot of fast charging tech advertise 0-80% times. That last 20%, especially 90-100%, is way slower than any other part. So to get the most of fast charging it's actually best to use your phone down to a low reading like 15-20%. As you can see, you end up wasting time trying to charge like you did compared to my screenshots. Essentially you're able to use you phone longer and yet be plugged in for a short period.

Mathematically that is correct, but for longer battery life expectancy (over time), they suggest you charge 50-90% even though it is less efficient in terms of amount of time spent charging.
So I tested charging for one hour starting at 40% and it actually did a little better than what you're getting. Went 40-93% in 60 minutes.
I still suggest starting around 15-20% though because as you can see, 60 minutes of uninterrupted charging gets you to 90% whether starting at 15% or 40%.

Guys, thanks for your effort. I will be trying to find the best way of charging. Even though energy efficient could by better in Google's Nexus I think. I have problem to stay charged 24 hour in a row. Maybe the reason is that I did just maybe 10 charging cycles and the battery is still to new and is still formatting, who knows.

Yeah if you check the battery life thread you'll see people getting various hours of battery usage. Personally, I'm always topping off when I get home from work for about 30 minutes or so (I always shower when I get home) and end with plugging in while sleeping.

in my experience, everytime I had trouble with fast charging (Zenfone and Nexus 5x) was a matter of faulty cable. try to replace your old one. in most cases, processors are kinda super sensitive about the "health" of the cable and won't let the magic happen it's happening to me in these days with my QC2.0 car adapter.
Hello!
so, I don't know why i didn't post my problem before but, here I am.
I have two xiaomi mi a2 lite international version bought in argentina, one with android stock fully upgraded and the other with havoc.
the problem is:
sometimes the battery charges at like 1400ma (or something along those lines) and the majority of the time charges at 500ma and sometimes 0ma or even -100ma (this info is taken mostly from accubattery)
I've already changed the charging board on both(for other reasons) but this didn't solve the problem
I have 3 chargers (each with its own cable) and all of them behave the same.(i could have tree ****ty cables? could be, the cables are not the expensive ones)
here some screenshots: accubattery and at the bottom of the lock screen on the havoc ROM

for what i see accubattery always is a lot lower on the mA compared with the lock screen
if anyone have a solution or troubleshooting process to check whats happening i will appreciate it.(this is going for like for 3 months)
(I'm comfortable with disassembly and probing with multimeter if necessary / rooting / formating)
----edit----
sometimes when it shows negative numbers and on those cases does not charge or does very slowly
sometimes the phones charge like 5% on 2 hours or so, and this happens most of the time on the stock firmware phone, the havoc one always has been more reliable even before installing havoc
thank you in advance
PS:sorry for bad english c:
You understand that you won't get full charge rates with the screen on? The power controller ramps down the battery charge current as soon as the display is on to protect the battery.
Accubattery will momentarily display the off rate for about a second after you turn on the display; it's sampling rate is once a second. Battery history gives roughtly accurate screen off charge amount and time.
Many fast chargers will not engage if the battery start temperature is too low. Best start temperature for Li's is 82-90F, 72F minimum.
If battery temperature gets too high fast charging will disengage.
The brick and cable must support fast charging by meeting that device's protocols.
If it's a graphene battery it's low temperature parameters are likely similar.

You understand that you won't get full charge rates with the screen on? The power controller ramps down the battery charge current as soon as the display is on to protect the battery.
Accubattery will momentarily display the off rate for about a second after you turn on the display; it's sampling rate is once a second. Battery history gives roughtly accurate screen off charge amount and time.
Many fast chargers will not engage if the battery start temperature is too low. Best start temperature for Li's is 82-90F, 72F minimum.

yes, i know that, but as i mention on the post, sometimes it shous even negative numbers and on those cases does not charge. and i forget to mention, sometimes the phones charge like 5% on 2 hours or so, and this happens most of the time on the stock firmware phone, the havoc one always has been more reliable even before installing havoc
Use know good brick/cable.
Consider a battery failure if capacity has diminished significantly especially quickly.
Any swelling is a battery failure.
Otherwise a charge port pcb or mobo failure.
If happening on more than one device, is the brick getting clean AC? Hot/neutral vs hot/ground wires are correct on wall socket? Voltage correct? Generally they are fairly insensitive to voltage fluctuations but if it falls too low they will charge slowly.
A power surge may have damaged one or more chargers but normally they are just dead when that happens.

capacity its ok
not swelling
port pcb changed recently
mobo maybe
for what i know on my house, hot-neutral are inverted(yeah idk what was thinking the dude that wire this place) this could be a problem?
will try charging with an stabilizer and check if voltage fluctuation is a problem.
PS: thank you a lot

Inverted is the same for the charger.
Makes you wonder about who did the wiring though. Might not be a bad idea the check the main breaker box sometime.
Something putting high frequency spikes on the line might mess with it.
Try another circuit in the house.

sometime ago i checked the box for this particular reason, i was measuring earth(because some home appliances were shocking me, yep also some grounds were disconnected and thrown inside a junction box) and found out that they were inverted, and its from the main breaker input, i could fix it but i don't trust that no one is going to flip the outside main switch on while i have a wire on my hand.
oh... high frecuency spikes could come from a fridge without ground? I've never checked the fridge socket because is behind it, may well be running without ground...
--edit--
just checked, fridge has ground

Probably not. Try a different circuit though.
