Hello,
So I was at about 10% when I went to bed last night (around 11 PM). I plugged my phone into an outlet charger (the one that came with my old Nexus 4, not the one in the G3 box) and when I woke up (645 AM) the phone was only at 65% charged? I can't imagine that it would take over 7 hours to do a complete charge. Has anyone else experienced this? The only thing I can think of is that my old charger produces less output than the one in the box, but I haven't tested it out yet.

Try it again with the actual g3 charger so you can know for sure if it's a phone issue or a charger issue.

Over the past few weeks I have been testing all kinds of chargers and cables. I noticed that the G2 charger is the closest to G3 but not as good. The issue is the cable itself. Kopi 20awg with oem charger, g2 will work, charges at the same speed as the original one.

Did your phone stop charging in the middle of the night? That happened to mine on the first night when I used an old iPhone (1000mA) charger. It just quit somewhere in the 60% range. Switching to a higher powered charger (iPad - 2100mA) it charges very quickly. On my desktop at work, the USB3 port I have charges at an abysmally slow rate (prob 500mA or less, and in a lousy reception area so it's burning 100-200 of that just keeping the network alive).
The boxed charger, btw, is 1800mA.
Thanks for the responses. I will try the charger that came with the device overnight tonight and report back in case anyone else has similar issues.

The phone/battery are literally 2 days old. Can't imagine it's the battery already. I will do some more troubleshooting since is obviously not a common occurrence.

try wiping battery in cwm if helps,and install super charge as some custom build roms are buggy.
My Xperia ZL wouldn't charging from getting too hot in the middle of the night. I would wake up to a very low battery. Between the screen waking up, trying to find a signal, and covering it with my pillow it would get too hot. Haven't had the issue with the G3 yet but I have woken up to the screen on and that stupid battery fully charged message.

my scren doesnt stay on when battery is full. it will light up for a brief period of time and then turns off. the green led stays on.
The nexus 4 charger is probably rated at a much lower amperage 1.2A actually https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Nexus_4_Power_Adapter?id=nexus_4_charger&hl=en
However your cable will also play a big role in this. The rating on the cable will determine whether or not it will actually allow that much current to pass through it. The stock charger works great, it chargers in less than 2 hours from 0 to 100%. I only use my nexus 7 charger to charge my spare battery on its cradle which is no big deal because it doesn't need to be fast.
Mine takes about 2 hours and 20 min for 0 to 100%
That charger may also be sending dirtier power because it's older too. I'm amazed at how fast mine charges. I haven't timed it, but it has to charge over 35% in an hour if you start at around 20%. Hell, I have started wirelessly charging with a Powerbot (connected to official charger) at about 15% at night and woken up a few hours later and checked the time and the thing was at 100%.
RESOLVED
OK, this is resolved, seems like the issue was in fact the charger I was using. I used the one that came with the unit and it charged up no problem. At least that issue is solved in case anyone else runs into. Thanks everyone.
Hey guys just checking in if anybody has had this issue and a solution. My moto 360 charges up until 92% and then discharges after that point. It never gets to a 100%. I've tried rebooting the device, even resetting it and it's still stuck at 92%. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I may have the same issue as of late. Cant seem to get it past 94%.....
I was having the same problem. I let the moto 360 battery run out completely until the watch turned off, then I let it charge on the dock overnight. It sits at 100% now, but the dock light never goes off.
cycling the battery a couple times might help, it did for me at least.
For me it didn't get past 98% for a good 4 hours within the first few days. So it's all about the charging cycles. Well for me anyways. Mine charges pretty quick to 100% now without much issue. This is with the 4.4w.1 update of course.
I just received mine yesterday, set it up, charged to about 97% last night and turned it off. Woke up this morning and finished the charge before leaving for work so that I was starting with a clean 100%. So far this morning I've been playing with it pretty heavily and showing it off to people at work but did notice that the percentages have been swinging back and forth a few times, like for example, after a period of heavy activity I checked the battery and it was at 94% but in checking a few minutes later it was up to 95%.
This sort of reminds me of when I flash a new AOSP rom on my phone and it takes a day or so for the battery and software to get in sync with each other. The graphs on battery history (still talking about the phone) show percentage going up a little, like the software predicts what it should be but then somehow determines that it has overcompensated and credits you a few percentage points. After a few days this effect goes away on the phone and it appears to settle.

Happened to me maybe 3 times. I dont know what it is. Sometimes restarting works. I even flipped the watch upside down and that worked. one time it stuck at 97% and after it restarted, it showed 100%

Thanks for this. I completely drained my 360 and now it goes to 100%
This is what I posted in other thread:
I can honestly say that I found the issue of the Moto 360 getting stuck while charges, since I bought it almost 3 weeks ago I hadn't been able to get a full charge in my bedroom, I live in Puerto Rico and here is basically Summer all year, average temperatures 80-85 with lower around 65 degrees on Christmas time and highest around 95-100% during July and August, plus 75-90% humidity. Well, with all that said, my bedroom is closed all day, so when I get home it's very hot, as soon as I get there I open windows and all doors but it takes a while to get it cooler. Since I got the Moto 360, I was getting home, changing clothes and putting the watch to charge, it never fully charged, I've tried everything suggested here and other forums, the only place it charged completely was on my Family Room where I have a lot of ventilation and is way colder than my bedroom.
Last Wednesday I got home and just turn the A/C on as soon as I got there, 30 minutes later I put my watch to charge and it charged fully for the first time, so immediately I realized that the only difference this time was that the room was cooler. So I decided to make some tests and I have concluded that every time I put my phone to charge in a cool room it charges completely, but as soon as I try to do it in a warm or hot room it never fully charges, it's obvious that the watch gets warm and hotter while charging so if the environment in which you are charging it it's even hotter it just stops charging, maybe to just protect itself or something.
Those of you with the same issue, just try this and see what happens. Good luck
Hello,
My Moto 360 seems to be stuck at 83 or 84% after a full night on the charger...
It's been the case for the two previous nights, at least.
I've tried restarting the watch, before putting it again on the charger -> No change, still stuck at 84%.
I've then tried resetting it, reinstalling and charging -> No change, still stuck at 84%
After reading posts where people stated that a complete discharge/recharge cycle would let them get back to 100% charge, I tried that as well.
The good news is that it took 28h for my watch's battery to deplete completely, quite significantly more than what I expected.
The bad news is that it charged up to 85%, then down to 83/84% again while seated on the charger.
In a desperate attempt to find something else to try, I put my Moto 360 on another Qi charger, and the battery level climbed up to 92%, which was encouraging... Unfortunately, it stopped there, and didn't go up to 100%, so I don't know what I can make of all this.
As for the theory about the room temperature, it's always been the same here, between 20 and 25°C (70-75°F), so not anything I would call hot.
So I got mine a few days ago and I've noticed when on the charger I get 2 different level of screen brightness. I've also had the problem of only getting 94% some times 97% but what I found that worked was that if I turn the watch off then put it on the charger it turns on and the charging display is really dim and it gets to 100%. If I just put it on the charger the display does not get as dim. The fastest and best charge is with the display off I've been playing with getting this done but haven't found a sure way to get the display off while charging.

I think there is something to the temperature idea. When I first got it, the weather was pleasant, never going above the upper 70s, so my living room was also pleasant, and it charged to 100% within an hour with no problems. Since the cursed summer heat, of 85-90 everyday, I can't get it past 98%. Which is not too bad, but I can't help waiting for another cooler day (hopefully before the fall) to see if it can get to 100% quickly again.
I do not have any problems getting my 360 to charge to 100%. What I do when charging is to set the 360 on its charger. Then with my phone I turn on Ambient Screen. When the 360 screen dims I turn off the Ambient screen. This keeps the 360 screen dark for quite a while. Works for me.

Is everyone really getting the 50% charge in 30 mins? It feels like I am getting about 1% per 1 min of charge time on average. Not sure if that is normal or I have a defect somewhere? Also, is fast charging safe to use for every charge session or is it meant to be used once in a while for emergencies? Thank you.
yes my phone will go from zero to 100% in an hour no problem when using charger that came with phone

Really? Did it charge like that from the very beginning or did it take a few charges to get to that speed? I think it takes me like 1.5-2 hrs from real low to full charge with fast charge enabled.

I used to get those insanely fast charge times; however, recently my phone has been charging slower (with fast charging on). Not only that, but, for some reason, the original wall adapter stopped working twice now. The first time it freaked me out because I thought my phone was messed up, but it turned out that everything was working except the adapter. Then later, I found out that if I reboot my phone with the adapter plugged into the wall, the charger will magically start working again! This worked for one or two charges. Today, I found that my phone was, again, charging extremely slow. Not only that, but my phone stopped charging after around 50% and the adapter is broken once more. I've tried the reboot thing three times and it didn't work again T: So now I'm kind of worried my phone might be defective?
Has this happened to anyone else with charging issues?

I haven't ran into anything like that yet. Who is your carrier? Maybe you can take in your charger and battery to get it replaced? Can you try charging with a different quick charging phone or something to narrow down if it's the phone or charger's fault?

Although I am fairly certain that my issue was the wall adapter portion of the charger, I just found it strange that the fast charging function failed to work properly around the same time when my wall adapter started to fail. Hopefully I am right and nothing else was wrong, but I thought that I would say something in-case I was wrong
As for getting it replaced... I bought my Verizon Note 4 at BestBuy off-contract and when I went there, they claimed to not have any in stock. They never really bothered to ask if I wanted to replace it even though I brought all my receipts and junk so I just took that as I wouldn't be getting a replacement haha :crying:
If anything I'll probably end up just buying another fast charger from samsung later, but for now slow charging is fine I guess. The fast charging did make both my device and charger hot, so maybe that was the problem?
edit:
I do not have any other quick charging devices (to my knowledge), but the wall adapter - combined with various other cables - continued to fail with my other phones as well.

Weird, I need like 1.5 hrs to get from 15% to full on fast charge and about 1.75 hrs for 15% to full on slow charge.
i timed my 1st charge. 57 min from 0 to 100. phone turned on and screen off.
Yep, to me that's the best feature. No more battery switching.

Do you know if it's safe to use fast charge for every charge up? If it shortens battery life over time, I'd like to know this now and only use fast charge sparingly.
Yes. It shortens battery life. By using the only charger they give you, you essentially cut your battery life in half. It's a conspiracy by Samsung and the makers of the materials used the batteries

Pretty sure that was sarcasm. I'm less sure about your comment, though. ;P
I read it in American Android, first December issue. They did a study. Only way to avoid the battery dissipation was if you only used the fast charger at night, and Sundays after noon, but before 1pm PST. fascinating article. It's amazing what a group of students at Yale who love Android can actually accomplish.
I think I can work around that charging schedule. I am also going to subscribe to that magazine now.
I got my Sony smart watch 3 2 days ago. I fully charged it before before my first use. On my second charge, the watch stop charging itself after it reached 98%... Is that normal or there is a defect on the battery?
Thanks

Try another charger I've had mine since release and it charges in like 20-30mins from like 2% I use my xperia charger and that gets it to 100% but I do notice that mine hangs at 98-99% for a while when charging but eventually gets to 100%
For the past few days, I've noticed very slow charging on my Pixel even if it says "Charging Rapidly". However it would say it will take around 3 hours to fully charge. When fast charging works, usually clocks at 1 hour and 30 minutes.
I really don't know what can be causing the issue. It's the original charger, and cable. Normally removing the cable and putting it again would fix the issue but it's becoming a common thing for it to take 3 hours.
I remember a similar issue on my Nexus 9 and cleaning the cache would completely fix the issue, but the Pixel XL is missing the Wipe Cache option in the recovery.
Any similar experiences?
On the OEM included charger?

Yup.
Could try a factory reset.. probably the only software related solution. I can't remember, but Chainfire may have said that the cache.img was one of the things that got removed in 7.1 so I don't even know if you could wipe it if you wanted to. You could also hit up Google support... maybe they'll send you a new charger to try. Make sure you're using the OEM cable too, at least for now, until you figure it out.
I had this exact issue with mine, factory reset / charging in safe mode didn't work.
Turned out to be a faulty usb cable but Google insisted on replacing the entire package (handset etc) Replacement works fine

If it makes you feel any better, Google exchange process is amazing.
Raised the return on mine about 4pm and the replacement was on my desk 9am the next morning, they also give you 14 days to send your old one back so you're it without a phone.
I use ampere to see what the charging rate is and I don't feel like the fast charge is that fast.... My 6p charged at a faster rate and my pixel charges at a faster rate using my Choetech smart charger. I'm going to have to drain the battery and see how long it takes to fully charge with the stock charger

Some phones ie lg v10 do not "fast charge" while screen is on (while youre looking at it) to avoid overheating. Ampere cant show max charging rate. I use a usb sleeve (usb doctor) that displays that info or turn on notification display
EDIT: Supposedly Pixel do not fast charge while in use either.

I think I can confirm this. Last night mine showed 27 minutes to charge from about 50% but after keeping the screen awake for about 30 seconds, it went up to 51 minutes.
I also find my Pixel charges very slow as well even though it says Charging Rapidly (OEM charger, cable). The GSM Arena review said they went from 0% to 46% in 30 minutes, I get more like half of that at most. I used Ampere and it said i was only charging at 710 mA.....

Yes i started charging my phone when it was 4%, and when i looked at it about 20 minutes later it was only at 16%. I think it took about 3 hours to fully charge. The only modification I've made to the phone is unlock the Verizon bootloader and flash the P software (which was subsequently updated to V). I'm seriously wondering if the charger or cable is defective.
