I charged it from 38% and it took about 1.5 to 2 hours. It has an upgraded S4 Pro like the Nexus 4, so I assume it has the quickcharge part of the SoC that the Nexus 4 has.

thanks that's good info so it may take like 3 hours from 5%

From 0-99% it took 2:45min or so for me

Thanks thats perfect close to my note 2 charging times

I picked up my Nexus 7 yesterday. It is completly stock and I use the stock charger and cable. It charges very very slow. Like 30% in 2 hours.
Do you guys think this is a warranty issue?

I'd say it's some kind of issue. I get better than double that speed charging with the included cable. Might want to see about swapping that for a different one.

Hmm right now I am trying my phone charger and it loaded 15% in 45 minutes. That is really slow in my opinion. I think I will go to best buy and get a replacement unit...

nah, unit is ok. change your cable. I'm using one from my ol' Desire, and I get charged from around 15-20 to 100% in 3 hours or so. Even faster if i shutdown my n7.2.

Can the maximum voltage be removed(3.7v)

Elephone has limited the battery voltage to 3.7, I'm not 100% sure if that limits the charging too. If it does limit charging, is it possible to remove the limit as a big battery needs a lot of charging time, mine takes 3 hours with a 2A 5V samsung charger and about 4 with elephone charger.

I'm not sure if the voltage limit can be removed, but considering how big the battery is, I'd say 3 hours isn't bad at all to charge from very low to 100%.

Elephone advertised it can be fully charged in 90 minutes, of course I don't expect my phone to do 0-100 in 90 minutes but it should be able to do less than 3 hours(double the time advertised)

To be fair Elephone advertised that you gain 10% in 10 minutes ... which is true if we're talking about 5%-15% (try it), but not true if we're talking about 90%-100%

REALLY?? Wow I don't remember reading this anywhere! I just assumed 3 hours was decent, although I'm coming from a ~3 year old HTC One that seemed to almost be on its last legs.
Do you remember where you read it? Cause I'm curious now...

Sorry my bad, must of been another phone I was looking into at the time of buying my P8000

They have set that charging rate for the fastest most reliable,any higher could cook the battery?
This phone has a whopping battery and for most is more than adequate for daily use,unless your awake 24/7,then your a zombie maybe.

If you don't need a fully charged phone in the morning I would recommend not to do so. Try to keep the phone between 30 and 80% and only charge it to full like 2 times a month. What I read that's the best thing for all devices.

With the OnePlus 3 you won't need to charge over night as it'll be charged to 62℅ for 30mins to be precise , I used to charge over night all my. Previous phone but with the OnePlus 3 I just charge it for 25mins or something it'll be charged to 90+% as the previous day's charge would still be about 30 to 40%..

I'm not a battery guru by any means but from my personal experience with cell phones and laptops, it makes very little difference. My old phone was a Galaxy S3 (albeit no quick charge or dash charge), but was charged overnight every night for 5 years. Still on the original battery and lasts a full day with my usage (email sync, facebook, instagram, web browsing, some gaming but not a lot). Off topic, laptop was basically the same deal; actually, was used exclusively plugged in the wall for 3+ years with the battery attached, and when I took it off the charger, still got me through the 3 hours of usage (doesn't seem like a lot but the same hours of usage as if it was brand new).

i dont even charge my phone overnight anymore - just in the car w/ the Dash Car Charger for 15 minutes a day twice a day on weekdays and on weekends with the wall charger ocassionally.
i probably lose 6%-10% overnight, but it's not been an issue, idle drain and SoT are great
in terms of ideal battery health for the long term, you'd probably want to keep it between 10%-90% but you can research this yourself.

ty for your and everyone advice! , on OP store in italy we miss the dash car charge so i can just stick with the wall one. btw one last question, i have a powerbank also 10k mah ( the one on the oneplus store ) if i need recharge outside the phone with it should be ok like was with previous devices right?

Sure but it doesn't charge as quick as the dash charger (wall/car).

Actually for batteries – especially Lithium-Ion ones – this is a good thing.
With new batteries you can make a full cycle every day for 3 years and still have like 70% capacity at the end, as long as you don't go beneth 10% charge regularly.
With moderate usage and and keeping the battery in the 30 - 70% range, you can easily get 5+ years out of your battery.
This works pretty good for me with the OP3. It is just like 15 - 20 minutes of charging every day.

I think OP3 was a good choice for me as well. With my usage patterns, I'm only down to about 50% remaining after 14 hours of use.

Sorry to steal the thread but if charging overnight, is it better for the battery to use the dash charger or a regular slower charger?
I would have thought the quick charge can't be particularly good for the battery?

Oneplus 3 battery issue

I ordered my oneplus 3 on 14th june and it arrived on 16th june. For quite a time the battery was working good but from past one month, phones battery has been degrading quite quickly and it takes a littke longer time to charge like earlier is used to take about an hour to charge completely and now it takes 1 hour and 12 minutes plus earlier it used to charge about 75-79% in half an hour but now it charges only 69%
So what ahould I do?

That's normal i guess
Sent from my OnePlus3 using XDA Labs

If it was normal then i wouln't have posted it

60% in 30min is common with dash charge.
charging gets slower the more ur charging level already is.
72min for a full charge is pretty good tbh

If i accept that then whats the reason for the degradation of the battery

since ur battery behaves as normal, no.
mine takes with dash
92% (5% to 97%) = 67min
95% (4% to 99%) = 70mins
and so does yours, consider that a different charging level or usage while charging changes the charging behaviour.
even the room temperature might change the charging speed.

Whats the reason behind quick degradation of battery then?

It had nothing to do with battery degradation. Your phone consumes energy a dwell when charging. An empty freshly wiped phone will charge faster then one bombed with apps. Nothing to worry about.

Every post of yours contains the term "battery degradation". But apart from the minor difference in charging time (which seems to be normal), you have not explained what you mean by "battery degradation".
Do you mean to say that your charged battery does not last as long as it used to? Or something else?

Charge time

Am I the only one who has slow charging? 1 hr on airplane mode and it went from 17-30%?

mine definitely charging faster than that. didn't really measure but very sure it's about 2 hour for me to get from 5% to about full charge. original charger with mobile data turned on.

yeah , calculate accurate and post it :good:

Mine went from 6% to 62% in 59 minutes today. It reached 100% after about 100 mins. Stock charger and stock cable. You have to look for the double lightning bolt symbol in the battery icon to know that it's charging rapidly. The fast charging only works with the stock charger. I tried charging with my Nexus 6P charger which charges that phone quickly but didn't charge my Honor quickly.

The company has made a claim that it takes 1 hr 50 min to completely charge with their OEM Charger. So I am sure that the QC3 works fine since the battery capacity is also 4000mah. Other phones with 3000-3300mah charge within 1 hr 30mins coz they have substantially lesser capacity.

just sharing the stats from last night:
22:51 @ 5%
23:02 @ 13% (11mins; +8%)
23:42 @ 50% ( 51mins; + 45%) // (40mins; +37%)
it does look like we can get about 100% in 2 hours.
and sorry, didn't continue with measurements coz i was already zzZZZzzZZz... tiring day.

Next time if you experience slow charging you can try flipping the cable 180 degrees and try. Because that's what I've noted and even @venugopalu007 also experienced similar thing.

I use Ampere from the playstore to test the voltage on all my phones, so I can figure out what connections work best.

I am also noticing the same thing. This is weird.

Mine can definitely go full charge under 2 hours charging from about 10%, BUT only if I don't touch it at all. If I use the phone at all during charging it charges at a literal snail's pace even if I open low power app like an ebook reader. Screen is always set to around 35% brightness, and I'm using stock in the box huawei charger. Ampere gives it a reading of 1060mA then it goes down to 600ish mA and it does display the doublebolt in the battery icon . Is that normal? At times it can charge for 40minutes while I'm using a game app and it barely increased 1%(screen on) While my sister using a micro USB charger on her xiaomi redmi note 4, had no severe slow down on charging times even when playing intensive games while connected to the charger( Same battery size I believe).
