[Battery] Thread

Here all battery related topics please

About battery I wonder if there will be a way to replace it once warranty is over. Because I'm really concerned of battery longevity. I mean, after two years of intensive use its life will decrease quite a lot so does the current design may allow some not too hard replacement ?

since the battery isnt gonna be removable, i am currently considering buying a portable charger..
here are some i found.. would like an opinion on which capacity would be good..

the last link has the same capacity as the 2nd last but it is way cheaper.. is it safe?

Am not a big fan of portable chargers, I fear from it to load the battery not at the right current speed, making it last fewer on the long term... I'm probably wrong though

i am using the new trent 11000 mAh portable charger for my phones and its a beast. charges up my nexus s 6x before dying. Only downside is that it only charges one device at a time.

got the same, i think they have a new model with dual charging but im not in need of that.

I have personally been using this brand for some time.

Any ideas what the best UK option is for a portable charger?
Not too expensive, but I want it to be high quality too

Does this fully charge your phone? In the same time it does when connected to AC?
Thanks in advance

LINK?????
please

To me, it seems slightly counterproductive carrying around a phone and a portable charger. Especially with in car chargers, main sockets everywhere etc.
Not knocking anyone, just saying id rather carry just the phone, and extend the battery with the plethora of available settings and/or apps.

HTC One X battery - first time charge:
What's the consensus on the first time charging? I've read before (somewhere) that you should fully charge the phones battery before switching it on as this will give it a good charging condition. Or is that complete rubbish and you can just start charging and switch it on and set it up?

...I usually just open the box, plug it in to start charging, and turn the sucker on! I see no reasonably important reason to wait for 100% charge on first time use and have never seen evidence to support it does any good (or not doing so is bad).
Hypothetically, they tell you to charge it because if the battery is too low and you turn on the device, you will damage the battery. I just plug it in, give it a min, and turn it on.

Got the device 2 days ago ... will report on battery usage

There have been several recommendations for chargers in different threads based on experience with other phones. Has anyone any experience of charging a ONE X from an external battery and would they recommend the charger they have used?

My LG G3 is Charging at almost 20Amps. Good or Bad?

I just got the LG G3 a few days ago and its charging at a rate of over 18+ amps! (Over 18000+ mA). My phone was on 35% about 10 min ago. Now it is at 63%. This is the first time i checked the charge current for this phone. My previous phone was a galaxy s3 and it averaged a charge current of 0.8-1.1 amps. I am not sure if this is a good or bad thing. My phones temp doesnt seem hot, also its charging incredibly fast. If anyone has had this happen please reply. I know this is not normal. I took a screenshot of the charge monitor. The app i used. To test the currents was "Battery Monitor Widget". In the picture you will see a red circle with a arrow pointed to it. That is the time when i took the charger off and replaced it with my other adapter but kept using the same cable.

That is wicked, though it had me scared! I tested wireless charging (I bought an insert for the back from AliExpress.com to make it Qi compatible) and also tested from the power adapter given to me with the phone. Below the yellow line is wireless charging and above is with the stock power cable. Notice that they are 0.5mAh different, but the mV is the same, so they charge about the same. Interesting! I'll have to test this further.
Cheers for posting this!

This could be why I burnt through a series of chargers a few weeks ago.....

Ok so I am now using the standard charger that i get up to 1800mA with. I gotta say though my charger that i modified charged my phone lightning fast with no heating issues as well or damaging of the battery. Unfortunately the modified charger can only be used with the newer phones. I had it tested with the galaxy s4, galaxy s5, and the htc one m8. But the only newer phone that didnt work with was the one plus one. The LG G3 definitely had the highest amp charge out of all of the phones. I will be doing more tests soon. But just to be safe i will be using my normal charger while i am away from the phone or when im sleeping. Here is the screenshot of the current charge with the stock charger.

Highly doubt that app is reporting accurately.

Omg can believe you guys are missing the mA flow ... +5197mA (+199.88%) per hour
These aren't output from your power adapter, it's a tally of how many mA have been recorded. Also from looking at your notification bar you have two blue tooth devices one of which isn't fully charged. There's a good chance this app doesn't account for that.

If you are using the standard charger, you can get 9 watts from it. No more. Given the voltage of the battery of 4v, there's little reason to think you could really be charging more than about 2200mA actual current into device, probably less due losses. For the the a 3000mAh battery, this means about 75 minutes to charge. I think the app is reporting something else or we are miss interpreting the data.

How long does your S 10.5 take to charge

Mine takes 6 hours to go from 10% to 100% using the included samsung charger and cable. That seems like a long time.

Mine takes 2 or 3 hours. 6 hour charge might are the chargers with slow charging. My dad has a slpw charger till he changed it. Have you tried changing chargers?

It's USB 2.0 so it's expected to be slow. The 3.0 port would have been bigger. Samsung sacrificed charging speed for aesthetic. To be the thinnest tablet they've ever made.

This is the first tablet for me and in effects.....too much slow on charges. Fortunately I use only at home. A part that....it's a bomb !!

Too long
I just bought a TAB S and using the included charger and cable it has taken 10 hours to go from 18% to 58%. The tab was turned off. TOO SLOW. Do I have a defective tab? Please let me know so I can return it.

That's actually too slow. My one takes a couple of hours to charge. But not 10 lol, and only 40%!?

I think the problem is charger mine also meet this problem too and than I buy new charger and it take only 4h

Where did you buy the new charger? Model number?

one of my friend has this tablet. i got 2.5A charger. he also complained this issue to me. i gave him my charger and it charged to 100% in about 3 hours. now he would not return my charger.
DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK! but i will recommend u guys to get the charger of say, Oppo find 7. or any ANDROID device charger which is more than 2A. it will be better. of course, better find samsung charger with more amperage.
again, DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK, IM NOT RESPONSIBLE for anything! (just to clear my self)

exactly. So 3 hours is out of reach.
It isn't USB 2 but MHL3 (downwards compatible but 2A power max).

Samsung Model EP-TA10JWE that the same as original one but it charge faster that the old one , I think Bcuz the original is old enough for me to buy new one

Mine charges exactly from 0 to 100 in 4 hours.

A full charge take around 5hrs.

with, I charge in 3,5h at pratically full charge possible (around 1800 maH max) since more than one year without problems (with original charger).
the original cable never goes more than 1000-1200 mah because it became rapidly too old.

That`s not a full charge 7900mah / 1800ma is 4.38hrs and it`s over 5hrs when you add the 20% charge inefficiency.
1750ma is the highest charging rate according to my usb power meter that i have seen with my 10.5"

Charging speed

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the OnePlus X can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Administrators and Moderators!
Please take up the order in the old forums.

Well I don't need sugar+caffeine, but regarding the phone it takes at least 100 minute to charge from 1% to 100% on a power socket. On a USB port - I have not tried yet, but it could take double the time I guess.

Pretty crappy. This thing pulls about 1.2mA from the socket and therefore takes a while to charge up. Say about 2 hours to full from 10-15%.

Max amp draw I get. Same with a 10w USB charger or the one plus stock.

5% to 100% i only need 1 hour 40 minutes something. So its fine with me.

1.5 hours. Pretty fast

Better than Galaxy S3 (my former phone)

120 Minutes (2 Hours) from 5% to 100% for me.

90minutes from 0 to 100℅ which seems pretty fast to me as compared to other phones with "fast charge" which can take take 2h45m for full charge(4000mah)

Hi folks,
Last night, my oneplus X took almost 4 to 5 hours from 0 to 97% (not really 100%!). I noticed this degradation of charging since a couple of months, but i can not figure it out if it came from the battery or from the charger. I tried with another charger, and it takes almost the same time...
And also my battery seems to be less efficient, so i have to consider to replace it or there is another solution ?
Thanks

Well, this is an unfortunate tell of events. Onyx has a very very inaccurate fuelguager and it doesn't seem to adjust with time so as the battery degrades, it gets dramatically worse. I too have the sane issue and no matter what I do to circumvent this in my kernel sources, it always pops back up.
Point being, there really isn't a solution though I do soon hope to take a closer look at the fuelguager and rewrite bits of it in my kernel to improve its accuracy

I had the same issue. At some point charging became very slow. But if it's decharging at a normal rate, then it's not the battery.
In my case, getting the charging port repaired at a local phone repair shop did the trick. Now charging from 0 to 100% doesn't take 4 hours anymore, but again 1.5 to 2 hours.

enable USB fast charging in Kernel aduitor that also helps.
Keep mobile data off when charging that also speeds up charging.

Not sure if the phone is old. It seems slower to charge. 2 to 2.5 hours with no usage during charging.
Anyone face this?
On lineage 15.1 june build and usb fast charge enabled. Using stock charger.

Check charging rate with "Ampere" .
Then, try to unactivate USB debugging and check again (after plug / unplug).

Battery Capacity on the 5T

Hi all,
I'm using AccuBattery Pro and it shows my phone's battery capacity is at 3106 mAh. I understand this is a 3rd party app and it probably not 100% accurate. I'm curious to know what numbers you are getting. I just want a way to validate Oneplus is indeed giving me a 3300 mAh battery. Is it even possible to do?
Is there a better battery app I can use? Let me know...Thanks.

This app is giving you an estimate based on what it thinks your battery is charged to. Because dash charging is different and the battery itself doesn't process its own energy because the wall adapter does, the reported capacity will always be off calibration. Its the same way with my phone on a software based mAh tracker. With my battery tester i have in my garage my capacity is reported as 3300 but my actual capacity is 3221 due to the battery wear. This is my OP5 btw not the 5T.

If your battery life starts declining significantly such as losing 45 minutes to an hour or around a 8-10% overall idle drain in 24 hours u might have a faulty battery.

Just curious after a month what your AccuBattery stats read now? My Battery Health reading is at 86% ~ 2842 mAh. I have had the phone for about a month and this seems to be troubling if accurate.

I ended up removing the app because I didn't want to get hung up on numbers. The phone does last me all day so I shouldn't complain. What about you?

It does last all day, however, I just don't seem to be getting the SOT numbers that others here are claiming to get. Also, I had a 64gb that I returned for the 128gb version and the first phone seemed to score better on the AccuBattery app than the 128gb version, which leads me to believe there is an inferior battery in the 128gb version.
