I was just wondering, what charging speeds are you guys getting? Bought this phone a week ago from tmobile and it says it takes approximately an hour and a half to 'fast' charge from 0-100%. Seems a bit slow coming from an S6 edge and I'm also getting terrible SOT so I'm wondering if it's defective
I have the exynos Duos model. It takes about the same amount to charge mine full.
I have not tracked SOT's yet. But I am happy that it lasts 2 days on one charge.
N930FD here it takes about 1h to fully charge from 5% (the lowest I've been) to 100%. It can last up to two days from 100% for me too.
the charge time should be longer the S6 only had a 2600mah battery, while the Note 7 has a 3500mah battery so really it is about a 40% bigger battery.
the screen is bigger so it will draw more power but really the extra battery should more than compensate for the screen size increase, but then it also comes down to how much power draw difference there is from the 2 CPU's. also I believe a few people have said there is worse battery performance with a snapdragon models over the exynos chips, so that could also be a factor if the devices have different brands of chip.

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone tried this on the M8.
I used a nexus 7 charger for the M8, I didn't check if the charge time was faster because I plug it before I sleep but the weird thing is that the
battery life is somehow significantly better and lasts longer.
On my old ONE X, if I used the nexus charger, it would charge the battery faster but it will also drain quickly. I read also that using a tablet
charge (2A) will damage a phone battery on the long run.
I dont know if this has to do with the snapdragon 801 or the quick charge technology? or am I just imagining
what are your thoughts?

Funny you mention this. Wether or not its relevant (Not trying to debate the fact), I like to "condition" my phone batteries when I first get them, full discharge - recharge while turned off for first 3-4 charges or so. But I did in fact use my Google Nexus 7 charger to do so, and on the 4th charge I got 6 days 8 hours before charging on light usage. Minimum 1 hour talk time per day via 2 30+ min calls, and 20+ texts a day. (Light facebook / game usage for the sake of seeing how long it will last) Not sure if it has anything to do with the way I charged, or the charger, but I'm pretty happy with it. Just on reg power saver, as you can see the Sprint version did not have Extreme power saver update yet.

WOW, 6 DAYS now thats great!!!
I think it because of the nexus 7 charger
Ok, some facts:
Qualcomm quick charge 2 will allow very quick charging (around 1 hour), but there are no chargers yet.
Conditioning your battery hasn't been required since we moved to Lithium ion, 15 years ago.
Using a charger capable of delivering more current won't make the battery draw more current, in fact, with HTC, it might draw less (the device checks the data pins are shorted to detect a mains charger). Thusly, it won't affect the longevity of your battery.
Using the nexus charger is highly unlikely to have increased the charge in your battery, or reduced the power consumption of your device. If it lasted longer, you used it less.

I dont know, after charging my m8 yesterday with the N7 chatger, I still got 16% after 17 hours of medium use. it seems better to me or maybe im imaging
anyways thanks guys for ur feedback
I just bought a lenovo p2 after hearing some impressive review pf its battery.But my phone discharged 25% in 4 hours.My 3g connection was on,I played coc,played some music.Is it a battery problem or is it normal?
Your battery will take several cycles to achieve full capacity... let it run down, then slow charge it (NOT with the fast charger supplied) and see how it goes... you should see 2 days of use, although videos and music etc will negate that.

The only thing I disagree is to use a different charger. The supplied charger will automatically switch b/w QC and normal charging (it's not entirely related to the charger either, with processor having some role in it)
Quick charging creates heat in the cells... the worst thing you can do to a battery ! Far better to slow charge, which is more likely to achieve maximum capacity.
Once the battery is "conditioned" then yes - use the fast charger, but the same laws of physics apply... the battery life will be reduced overall, but its a trade off against convenience, and how long you personally plan to keep the phone.
-If you lost 75% of charge in 4 hours that is too much... probably because there was a bad first estimation of the level of charge?
-If you lost 25% battery in 4 hours of intensive use (so you still have 75%) that sounds ok to me.
Also I dont use the fast charger, because battery gets a bit warm if you use it, although that is normal, excesive heat could deteriorate the battery in the long run.
Guys i think the problem is solved.The first 50% charge drains in say 6 hour but the rest 50% lasts like9-10 hours.
Hi everyone. I noticed that the Galaxy S9, with the screen on and with automatic brightness at 50%, fails to charge the battery and the charge drops slowly but falls. I did the test with amps and known, always with the same brightness, that the charge, when it is under half, so when the delivery should be about 2200 mah, is around 800 .....
I did these tests with 2 different phones.
instead with galaxy s8 the recharge is constant even when the screen is on and over 2200 mah ...
someone who has tested and would definitely confirm could tell me why this difference that I think is a problem?
thank you
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 S10+ can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
They need to step it up to 12v 25w at a minimum. It's not terrible as it is, but knowing how much better it could be is a bit of a kick in the shin... especially considering the expense and the fact it's supposed to represent the best of the Galaxy line.
It's good, yet still somehow disappointing.

Considering the competition offers must faster charging, Samsung should let us charge at 25W just like the s10 5G variant will be able to.
It's actually slow as FF. Charging this device (especially with screen on) is a nightmare. During the day, with auto brightness and mostly bright environment hitting ~15-20% in 30 minutes. That's ridiculous.
My moto x pure edition 2015, charges with turbo charge quicker than this s10+ fast charge.
I'm happy with the charging speed, fast enough to charge and not too fast to deplete the battery life!

Same here 1.5hr or less for a 4000+ mhz battery is satisfactory.
The Huawei Mate 20 Pro used to charge from 5% to 100% in 50 minutes, but the overall performance is still far from S10plus. I struggled to get 8+ hours SOT without standby on the Mate 20Pro, whereas with the S10 Plus ive had a steady 9hrs and even achieving 12hrs SOT and 20hrs standby.
I can charge my S10+ running the AT&T firmware here with a LG fast charger in 1 hour 24 minutes coming from 19%
Recently i purchased Samsung 25w charger but its take same time like bundle 15w charger
what's better for the battery, shorter charge/less heat from 50% or 1 1/2 hour full charge from 20%?
what's better or does it make a difference?
1. recharge battery when 50%?
2. recharge battery when 20%?
Ok guys,
SOT was just around 5h 30 min so I suppose battery is pretty badly worn out.
Probably the phone has been used around 1.5 y and I see date of manfufacture 09/2019.
So I switched to dark mode,enabled power saving,disabled all gestures,switched to fullHD+ res and for sake of battery I'm nor charging with super fast option.
I think I won't even charge at max capacity because accubattery tells me the wear out has smallest value when I charge it at 85 %,so I suppose I will charge it to 85 %.
I will discharge battery at 15 %,never less.
I'm charging with airplane mode ON,because I'm not busy person to need phone while charging.
I can also charge the battery when the phone is OFF and I suppose that is good for battery too.
So dear friends what else I can disable in Android 11 and try to increase it's lifespan?
These are all things which came to my mind from experience.
Phoneinfo is reporting under USAGE HISTORY when I tap on it few times health of only 41 %,but don't think it's accurate.
With other software DevCheck and AccuBattery can't get battery wear level,discharge cycles info.
Now I charged it for first time after buying phone to 80 % (suggested by Accubattery) and this is what I got,dunno if it's accurate or not,but I don't believe that health is 96 %,I wish it is.
Don't discharge past 20% but 30 or 40% is a better cutoff. Charging to 70 or 80% max most times will also help. Li's prefer frequent midrange charging.
These batteries aren't that hard to change out. Just had one fail in my Note 10+. As they age that becomes more likely to happen.
Keep an eye open for rear cover bulging, replace the battery asap if this happens.
The battery sits directly on top of the display and can damage it if it swells.
Erratic fast charging and diminished capacity are also signs of a Li battery failure and with the hump there's no doubt.

oh okay,thank you.
Look at the accubattery readings,doesn't look that bad,huh?
How and when will I know that battery is for replacement?
I still can't find software which would report me wear cycles.
Accubattery... this is it's least useful feature.
Compare your SOT now to when it was new.
It's way more than a 4% drop in capacity.
In reality it's more like 60% or so! It depends of course on how much it's current draw is now and if it's about what it's usage was when new*.
It may also be the phone as it maybe incapable of actual ma measurement and only estimates it bases on battery voltage drop.
*my 10+ is getting around 10 hours SOT but with some battery hogs it could easily fall to 6 hrs SOT with a new battery.

I haven't bought new phone,just used...I wrote that SOT is around 5h and 30 min.

Great deal. You did good, the 10+ is a great phone
It still running on Pie?
The SOT runtime is very subjective depending how well optimized it is. If it's running warm* while surfing the web with screen brightness at 40%, it's not optimized and probably using more battery than it has too.
*ambient temp around 72°F but the phone is noticeably warm.

Great app for getting most of of your battery with some great performance tweaks as well. Difference is very noticeable on my device and premium is very reasonable.
Also recommend tasker. I have it set so my NFC and mobile data are automatically of when at home and automatically turned on (with WiFi off) when WiFi disconnects. Also GPS off at all times unless Google maps is open. These made all made a huge difference for me. Reckon combined they at least doubled my battery life per charge.
