First hour was very fast, but then took another hour to do the last 20%, which I've not seen from a phone before.

I am not disappointed, it charges fast and compared to years before I can now forget to charge in time and still be able to use the phone for a longer period

An hour for the last 20%? Really? As I said, I've not seen it that slow before.

I usually charge my battery every night when I sleep, an alarm app runs and twice a week titainuim backup runs.
Or is it better to only charge when needed, does a lot of charging have a negative impact on battery life.
Just received a new battery from the other post in the forum, was wondering how best to look after it

don't over charge your phone.....and don't leave it overnight to charge....

I don't charge my battery everyday. Just when i need it which is normally every 2 days and i also charge overnight. My alarm app also runs every morning (twice ) and on some occasions, like today, i charge in the morning because i have no school and my battery can last overnight. I try to make the most out of every single % of the battery.

Surely a good charge is around 6-7 hours?

i try to charge my mobiles about 6-7 hours, but i make sure the battery is not getting warm. somewhere i read that wormth kills our batteries. its all about the chemical processes that take place in the battery. so high temperatures are distructive for it. so dont let it overheat. :good:

My GS3 takes about 3-4 hours to charge from 0% to 100%. I am on stock and am using the OEM wall charger that came with the phone. Is this normal?
Mine takes around an hour or two I believe it used to take around the same as yours but it doesn't last as long. But how long does yours last

Mine take over 2 hours from 5% to 100% using stock wall charger,,, 3 to 4 seen like a lot.
The answer is... it depends.
If you're charging with the phone on, it will take longer, if you're charging via a usb port, it will take longer.
If the phone is off and you're using the stock wall charger, you're charging at a maximum of one amp. If you have a stock 2100mah battery (2.1 amp-hours) and your charger is 100% efficient (never happens), the best possible 0-100% charge time is... 2.1 hours, it really is that simple
Now, you're not getting 100% efficiency, plus the way lithium batteries charge, at around ~50% capacity, the charge current steps down gradually from 1 amp to nearly 0 amps, so your real full charge time with phone off is probably going to be closer to 4 hours than 2. The step down is necessary to avoid over-charging. The logic (usually in the battery itself for phone batteries) to determine full charge is when the battery reaches 4.2 unloaded volts. Charging current will increase the voltage reading, so as it gets closer to full, charge current is gradually stepped down to maintain the 4.2 volt full charge state. As the current approaches zero and volts stay at 4.2, the charge controller knows that the battery is full.

3 hours is the average using the included 1amp A/C charger.
Charges 10% about every 15 minutes for 0% to 90%, and charges the last 10% in about half an hour.
(don't bother trying to charge using your computer's 0.5amp usb port, though; takes forever, especially if you're using it while charging)
There are reports that the charger that came with the s3 is garbage.
I was using the s2 cable to charge and it took approximately 1.5 hours.
Now it's taking 3 - 4 hours.

The charger that comes with the S3 is NOT garbage. I tested charging times against a "better" 2.1amp charger about a month ago and there was no difference. (If your custom kernel supports "fast charge", then there'll be a difference, but your battery will suffer. Better to stick with 1amp)

Flashed JB today. Phone currently charging. Started charging at 2%, now at 41% and it's been 45 min. Estimate completion time, 1 hour 45 min.
So the culprit is not the USB charger, but rather something I had installed on ICS. I suspect it is the launcher I was using, which was GO launcher. Prior to JB, i was using apex and it was charging a little bit faster than GO, but still wasn't acceptable. I think it was 3ish hours for full charge.
My current JB setup is pure stock launcher and apps.
With stock charger it takes my phone approximately 2.5 hours to go from 5% to 100%.

I can confirm that,my AT&T S3 has been charging with that charger for 6 hours and I am still showing a 50%,so I had to grab a Motorola charger and it went up from 50% to 73% in half an hour.
Freaking Samsung,there's always something.
I'm on Slimbean 4.2.1 RC1 w/ lean kernel and my phone will usually last (with average daily use) about 3 days on one charge. The rom/kernel supports fast charge so I can get it from 0-100% charge in under an hour and a half. On stock rooted rom I was getting maybe a day and a half of battery life. Darned AT&T bloat lol

So how do we decide the most efficient charging method possible? How do we look at the Amperage of the battery and the amperage of the charger and decide what's best?
Also what's faster? Wall charging or fast/quick charging to a USB line?

Fast Charge will make it charge the same speed the wall charger would (but breaks storage mount while it's turned on).

SO MAYBE YOU ARE RIGHT THE CHARGER IS GARBAGE. I WILL TRY ANOTHER WALL CHARGER AND SEE IF IT WILL CHARGE FASTER.

This doesn't mean you battery is "on charge" for all the time... once the battery is 100%, the charge changes to something called "trickle charge". At this point charge does not happen continuous, but like a trickle to maintain the 100%.
Pull the phone out at the end of 8 hours of charge, and notice how quickly it goes to 99. Pull it like 10 mins after it says full, and it takes longer to go to 99%.

Higher amps charge battery faster... but... at the cost of capacity... At approximate 10% more charge than the battery is optimized of, it kills the battery by as much as 30% sooner. So its not really worth that. At the same time lowering the amps by 10% increases life by about 20-30%.

I think I'll exchange it if it's still doing the same thing I'll just get the nexus 7 again or the pro:--( but I like how thin this is
Edit:
I exchanged it, it seems to charge fine now while using it. It was a defective battery.
I got a Keedox quick charger 2.0 (with the logo on it) 2 days ago, well it's very deceiving as it will not always charge the phone fast, only one time over 3 I saw it really fast (65% in 30 minutes) but the rest of the time it's as slow as the normal stock HTC charger.
From the Ampere app it detected 1850mah speed till 80% then it drops to 950mah and above 90% 256mah!!!
Ok I bought it for just 13$ but how qualcomm approved to give them the logo if they are too slow?
Could it be my Rom the culprit? Viper 2.3
I remember back with my S6 it was blazing fast with the samsung charger
I'm using this Qualcomm fast charger 2.0 and it's fast works great every time.

That's how the 2.0 works. I'm using Aukey's 20. charger. The lower your phone, the faster it charges and as it approaches full charge, it drops the current down. A neat way to look at it is to take your phone below 10% then use the 2.0 charger up to 95%, then look at the battery usage chart, you would see the different charging rates on that chart.

Definitely the one plus 3. Dash Charge gets from 0 to 60% in 30 minutes even if you use it. And the phone keeps cool while charging.
Charging is fine it quick charges till 50% and then slower .
Happens on most smaprtphones, fast on the first half, slower on the other one...even the 1+3
Hi There, your Honor 8 phone comes with a 9 V 2 A high voltage quick charger. It also supports 5 V 2 A chargers. Make sure you buy an official Huawei 9 V 2 A charger; unofficial quick chargers will not work properly. If you need a quick charger, you can buy one from Huawei Vmall or official Huawei experience shops. Charging times may vary depending on the ambient temperature and the remaining battery level. (NS)
It's pretty good, although my old Zenfone 2 used to charge faster.

That info was already given: H8 comes with 9V fast charger. Search forum. Even from a Huawei support member.
Charge is enought fast , from 7 % to 100 % , about 1h30min .
Charging speed is good but not the fastest out there, my old Acer phone with 3500 mah was a bit slower but certainly not miles behind. But for me it is fast enough.
http://batterys.org/product/samsung-galaxy-s4-i9500-b600be/
Just compared the 1+3 and the honor8. while honor charges fast, 1+ is way way faster. almost 1/2 of the time
rapid charging speeds
Doea chargw fast enough, takes around 1:30hours from 10-100
It's good enough for me. But it's hard to buy Huawei's power bank which was told to be the only one compatible with Huawei's fast charging chip tech. I am in the US BTW.
My Honor 8 charges in 1:45 hrs.
Hii to all Honor 8 owners
I have discharged the battery all the way till the phone powered off
Then I did not turned it on and pluged it on the charger
The phone turned off at 2%
It took from 2% to full charged 100% about 1 hour and 35 minutes
I'm very satisfide with that charging speed
And at 2% it gives a warning messege that in 30 seconds the phone will shut down.
So, it is not just shutting down without notice like most phones
