How long does it take to fully charge your One-X?
Mine is already charging 3.5h to get from 40%to 80%....
Using the default charger, and not using the device.
Isn't that a bit to long?? My HD2 was completely charged in 2h..

I am no expert, so don't hold me on this one, but I believe your device charge should speed up due to firmware updates and also once the battery has been 'worn' in - just stuff I have seen about.
Can anyone else provide me their charge times? How long it takes to charge from A to B?
Pls mention with wall outlet or USB.
I've noticed this as well. My Arc charges in like 2-3h to full. the One X takes about 2 hours to get to about 60% from 30% (using USB).
edit: wall charging takes just as long.

Can't be normal, right? 2h from 30% to 60%...
i think its to do with the type of battery they are using to be fair
Interesting reading about lithium based batteries
this is a quote from batteryuniversity dot com
Simple Guidelines for Charging Lithium-based Batteries
• A portable device should be turned off while charging. This allows the battery to reach the threshold voltage unhindered and reflects the correct saturation current responsible to terminate the charge. A parasitic load confuses the charger.
• Charge at a moderate temperature. Do not charge below freezing.
• Lithium-ion does not need to be fully charged; a partial charge is better.
• Chargers use different methods for “ready” indication. The light signal may not always indicate a full charge.
• Discontinue using charger and/or battery if the battery gets excessively warm.
• Before prolonged storage, apply some charge to bring the pack to about half charge.
• Over-discharged batteries can be “boosted” to life again. Discard pack if the voltage does not rise to a normal level within a minute while on boost.

And I also read that charge time should be almost 3h for a full charge(i suppose this is when device turned off). You could get about 70% charge in about an hour if I remember correctly.
Hmm not gonna turn off the phone for every charge tbh...

While charging and using the phone it takes around 5 hours to get from 5% to 14% when not using but charging takes around 3-5 hours to charge from 25% to 100%
My second charge, from 0% to 100%, with device shut down took 3.5 hours to show the green led... quite a long time since I was using the wall-charger... I hope it will improve with the fw update and after the battery has been "initialized"
Today I began charging my HOX at 1:44 (1%) and it finally reached 100% at 4:59.
I was using HTC's charger.

same here, about 3h from shutdown with 0% to seeing green LED
using wall charger
Took me three hours with original HTC wall charger and original HTC cable (no extension) to charge from 4% to 100%. Terribly slow!
EDIT 1 : Apparently BWM doesn't show accurate power draw while idle on the One X for now, so my post has become totally irrelevant
I always install Battery Monitor Widget on all my Android devices and monitor charge and discharge constantly.
On my Desire Z, if it's below 70%+ I get a charge rate of about 750mAh from wall socket.
But on my One X, with the same charger (both are rated for 1amp, and both HTC), my charge rate drops to 450+ at 60% battery life.
It's probably a software issue, but charging the One X does take noticeably longer.
I don't think it is a software issue, as the battery pack is larger than before. Also when you are active the phone itself draws large amount of current and it definitely slow down your charge rate.

When your phone is idle with screen of, it shouldn't drain large amounts of power while charging. Can't imagine that has a huge influence on charge times tbh.
And for capacity, my HD2 was charged in about 2H for a 1200Ah battery, this 1800Ah One-X batt should be full in like 3h... not 5 or 6h...
The official wall charger took 2.5 hours to fully recharge the One X
Ok after an amount of charges, it now takes only 2.5h - 3h anymore for a complete recharge.
Official wall charger.
Did a charge on mine this morning from dead, took 2.5 hours to get to about 90%, left it for another hour but it didn't go up the last 10% stayed on 90 even after the extra hour. Off the wall

I'm thinking the same... I don't mind turning it off on a night for the first 2/3 charges but personally this is my only phone (don't have a house phone) so will be keeping it on through the night in case someone needs me in an emergency etc...
Was interesting to read that batteries prefer a partial charge and do not need to be fully charged; which is good actually as mines got around 18% left and I'm about to stick it on charge for the next 8 hours.
Hi,
I just bought a charger which support Qualcom quick charge..but figured out that N5x does not support it...
Can I damage batery using Qualcomm quick charge??
How is the diffrence between qualcomm quick charge and fast USB C charge?
Tnx

You'll be fine using that charger, but you may not see charging speeds as quick as the original charger.
But on that charger are even normal charging ports..which is better to use?
Tnx
You should be fine but it's worth noting that Google suggests only using the power charger that came with the device.
Google's Battery lifespan, charging & usage tips
1. Use the power adaptor and charger that came with your device
Other chargers can charge slowly, not at all or damage your device or battery.
2. Keep it cool
Avoid situations where your device can overheat. Your battery will drain much faster when it's hot, even if you're not using it, and this can even damage your battery. Bear in mind that your device warms up when it's plugged in, so try not to keep it charging all the time.
3. Don't worry about calibrating the battery
You don't need to teach your device how much capacity the battery has by going from totally charged to completely drained.
4. Keep it more than half charged
For the best battery lifespan, try to keep your battery charged above 50% as much as possible.
5. Try to charge a little at a time
Small charges throughout the day are best for battery health. Battery lifespan can suffer if it's charged from zero to full and then completely drained on a regular basis.
6. Store your device half charged
Leave the device with a half-full battery if it needs to be stored for a long time.

Had a Nexus 4 and I did the overnight charge,
Is it the same for the 5X with the rapid charge?
Thanks
Gary
There is not a better way to do it, you can rapid-charge it overnight, during the day, in you car, every 3 minutes with 10 minute pause or whenever you would like to.
For me, I use a normal charger overnight and the rapid charger when I need juice during the day or in the car, or when i forget to plug it overnight.
I remember reading on a reputable tech site about how lithium works, you can leave it overnight with no issues but they have a specific amount of charges in them. E.g. 500 charges for a battery and a charge will be counted anytime it goes above 80% etc. After 500 times, your battery should start to see degradation.
All the above figures are made up but that was the gist of the article i read, so don't worry about leaving your phone plugged in, the os will automatically limit the charge once it reaches 100%.

What is the optimal way to charge the OP3 in order to preserve the battery lifetime? I don't care about charging speed, I just want the battery to last long with minimal degradation. Is dash charging bad for the lifetime of the battery? Or would I be better off charging the OP3 slowly with a traditional charger? Right now I have this charger
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SZHOI8U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You should be using the OnePlus charger and cable which came with the phone. For optimal battery life, don't let the phone discharge below 10% and charge it till around 90%.
Dash Charging should be comparable with QuickCharge 3.0 which helps preserve battery life. So I reckon the official charger is your best bet.
Charging a battery with high intensity is bad for a battery life, dash charging/VOOC or quickcharge (any version) will be bad for battery in the long run.
But you'll only see a difference in 3 or 4 years and I don't think you'll use your phone more than 3 years. And even if you want to keep it more than 3 years, even if you don't use the phone, age will act on the battery. Even if you charge it slowly or quickly, there won't be a big difference in 2 years. Just be aware that USB-C cable have an active component in the cable head and a cheap USB-C cable can dammage your device.
If you still want to charge OP3 in good way, you have to plug it on a computer so it will charge at 5V 0.5A. It's very slow but it should charge your phone overnight and during the day, charge it while you have any occasion. 10 charge from 70% to 80% have less impact on the battery than 1 full charge from 0% to 100%.
Don't run it flat, keep it above 20-30% and don't fully charge it.
Don't leave it on charge overnight.
I run mine from about 30% to 90% maybe a little over as a 90% charge is what it takes to reset the days battery stats, screen on time etc.
Hi,
Is it possible to turn off the dash charge? 5T is charged only overnight cause it can last the whole day anyway.
PS: I can turn off Fash Charge in my Samsung Note. So it saves battery if I charge only overnight and don't need fast charge feature.
There is no stock option for this. Maybe a custom kernel can support it or a custom kernel that doesn't support it at all would also be a possibility in theory.
I would suggest using a normal power adapter instead of the Dash charging one. Even a normal USB C cable prevents Dash charging as it can only be used with OnePlus' own cable. So maybe get a cheap USB C cable and use that?
Use a low amperage charger. Something like 1000mah. This will slowly charge your phone overnight. But make sure you use a quality charger.
Why would you want to do this? The OnePlus dash charger works differently from other chargers in that it holds the heat in the charging block. If you use a standard adapter you would transfer the heat to the phone while charging. I would NOT recommend doing this.

I use an Anker IQ 6-port Charger with a couple of fairly good quality cables.
I personally try to avoid any kind of fast charge because it will end up damaging the battery life faster than "standard" charge, even if the heat is absorbed by the DASH charger block. IQ Charge adapts itself with the needs of the device connected.
And my unit stays cool if I touch it while its charging.
Charge however you want. But for me, dash charger while getting ready in the morning or when you have a free half hour. Forget about charging overnight. I don't know your usage but for me, this works. The phone just sits on my nightstand without connecting overnight and I lose a very minimal battery amount.

Just not in a software way.

It's fine at even less than 1 amp. We have two 5Ts in the house and charge them at night at 0.35 - 0.45 amp.
I saw the dash reduce Ampare when pass above 80%.
(When not rush I use official iPhone 1Amp charger.)
Use 5V/2A standard charger to standard usb type c.
Oneplus 5t = 5V/4A
Quick Charge = 9V/2A
Dash n QC have more power!
I'm using an old 1A Samsung power adapter and dash charge cable and in addition I also use Battery Charge Limit app to limit charging the battery to 80%.

No, it does not, especially not with dash charge. The excess heat is stored in the charger and is not transferred to the phone, and the heat is the only thing that degrades the battery faster.

Your informations are not correct.
Dash (or VOOC, which is the very same technology since OnePlus is an Oppo brand) uses high current fast charging instead of high voltage charging (QuickCharge 2.0/3.0 uses high voltage) and the circuit that produces heat in phones that are not Dash/VOOC compliant is inside the phone, while in Dash/VOOC is inside the charger.
Oppo and OnePlush themselves have acknowledged that it makes SAFE to use the phone while it is quickcharging, NOT that the battery is not getting damaged by the use of a fast charging method, even if it charges at a lower voltage and higher current.
The use of any fast charge technology implies to shorten out the overall battery life.

Just because they moved a bunch of the power regulation stuff to the charger doesn't mean the battery doesn't still get warmer. If you push 4 amps of current into it, it will heat up more so than when it receives, 1 amp.
Now you have me curious though, I guess I'll have to pay close attention to the battery temp next time I charge my battery. I've never used the dash charger, but perhaps I'll have to get it out of the box, and test with it as well just to see what kind of temps I see with a more powerful charger as well. I'm curious to see how much temperature difference there is.
I know on my Nexus 5X my phone always lasted long on a single charge when slow charged (0.35 amps), vs using the factory 3 amp charger.
Constantly topping up the battery overnight for 5-6 hours (assuming your slow charger will charge it to 100% in 2-3 hours) is worse than using Dash to charge it quickly in bursts in the morning and night when you have a spare 30 minutes.
I would never leave a phone stuck on a charger overnight. Especially since even the slowest charger in the works will charge the phone to 100% in three hours or so.

I don't charge my phone over night either but by using above mentioned Battery Charge Limit app it is possible to stop charging when desired battery level has been reached.

That would be a good idea to do. Although the best is to just Dash charge in short 30 minute bursts when you can.

How does it imply that? Heat is the only factor. Phone is not getting hot(ter than slowly charging) when charging.
What is the truth? With the rapid charging the battery deteriorates faster or better a slower charging?
