So I just ordered this charger and it charged my phone from 4% to %100 percent in exactly 3 hours!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051ZJA64/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
Wow, what a great improvement over stock which takes 6+ hours. This makes me believe, that even though the stock output is rated at 1000ma and this charger's output is only rated 700ma that this charges works correctly!
If you have a 1800mah battery and you charge it at a rate of .7A, it should take it exactly 2.57 hours to charge, (1800/700). With stock it should take less, because 1800/1000 = 1.8 hours, but it takes 6+ hours to fully charge! Something is f'ed up with the stock charger or phone's software...
Yeah. About that. I just got my E4GT yesterday and noticed it does charge extra slow compared to my O.G. Epic.
My wife stayed with hers, maybe I will try charging my phone on hers. I wonder if that would make a difference...

At first my charging was extremely slow but now it'll charge from 2 to 100 in under three hours

I use the Palm charger from my TouchPad. Will go from dead to fully charged in about an hour and a half.
What's you TouchPad charger's output in mah? I think I might have to splice into a spare USB cable and check how much current is actually used by phone when on stock charger...pretty sure it is nowhere close to 1000mah.
2000mah is the output from the TP charger.
According to BatteryMonitorWidget, it estimates avg mA charging at 270mA using the stock charger that came with this particular phone.
I have my original charger from my Evo 4g and have noticed that it charges my phone a lot faster then the stock one that came with the phone. :-( weird

That sounds about right! I'll see if I can test this with my AMP meter tonight and tell you all for sure on stock vs new samsung charger that I've got.

Yeah, at 2000mah it should charge in less than one hour...I would say your actual charge current to be around 1200mah...
i would be careful with these chargers.
i have dealt with a lot of Li-Po's in the past and there was a formula to how fast you should charge them.
i imagine it is the same deal with Li-On.
charging outside such formula could kill the life of your battery or worse.
Seems like i must have gotten lucky as a ton of people are having problems with their phone or chargers.
I just charged my battery from 0 to 100% off the stock charger in 2 and a half hours and i also havent gotten any of the dodgy input problems using the phone while charging.
I went back and took a longer look at the battery history when charging. When starting the charge at 65% it starts off around 828mA, then 540mA, then 360mA, so it looks like (as expected) the phone knows how much current to pull to charge the battery safely and it adjusts based on how full the battery is. Not saying it does this for the charger included with your phone, but that is the behavior for the charger included with this phone.
These are all estimates provided by Battery Monitor Widget because there is no real-time mA current meter in this phone (according to the author)
Ordered one of these. Stock charger takes a lifetime to charge the phone.
My GF got Nexus S 4G and it's stock charger also takes 6+ hours to charge, so there's something wrong with the chargers I guess...
The pins on this charger must me different than the stock charger. Just because the stock charger is rated up to 1Ah doesn't meant the phone or batteries circuitry allows that much output. The resistance and length of the USB pins on the cable are what determines the output of the charger. Simply using a different USB cable with the stock charger will get you faster charge times.
Using a 2Ah charger will get you nowhere, the circuitry doesn't allow that strong of a current. Just a bit of an FYI. Save your money and save your phone, use a different USB cable.
Also, how is the charge time holding up? I doubt you're getting a saturated charge with that charger.

Ive dealt with 1,2, and 3 cell lipos ranging from 150mah to 5000mah, and every one of them either say to be (or ive been told its recommended to do so) charged at 1C. so a 500mah battery should be charged at .5A, 1000mah at 1A, 5000mah at 5A, etc...
my lipo charger displays a bunch of info as the battery charges and it definitely drops the current as the battery gets closer to being fully charged. if its the same with li-on then I would imagine that .18A should be the most you would charge this battery, but Id rather it take a long time because unless things have changed recently, doesnt the slower you charge the battery prolong its life cycle as well as extend how long it lasts each charge? I only charge mine at night when I am sleeping so who cares if it takes longer than an hour. if I get into an emergency situation I have the cig lighter charger and in the worst case I even have one of those crank flashlights I can use to charge the phone in the event my car battery shorted out or something...
I have an LG Lucid which isn't half bad. Unless you factor in battery life.
So I'm ready to pull the trigger on a spare battery or two, as well as a wall charger. You know those ones that you plug the battery into itself.
Anyone have recommendations on an inexpensive, decent charger that will charge a 1800-1900mah battery within maybe 6 hours or so?
Thanks!
Oh- looking on amazon if I can, as I have a gift card.
I just did this for my S3.
I can't recommend one for your phone, but once you know what to look for, it's the same basics across all batteries and chargers.
Do you want it to charge slowly ? You say 6 hours, but that seems awfully slow to me. Is that the point - so you can leave it on overnight ? I have a charger that chargers my 2200mAh battery in ~4 hours.
Look for a charger that will charge at 600+mAh. Often it will charge faster if connected to USB. You want to avoid the ones that charge as slowly as 300mAh. I guess they're good if you want to leave something overnight, but they're going to take ~8 hours to charge the battery !
Anyway - no matter if you want it to charge fast or slow, just look at the mAh output and do the math compared to your battery capacity - you can even use a "calculator" that will do the math for you (but it's really easy - "2200 / 600 = 3.6" - so 3.6 hours, but with some wiggle room for lower than 100% efficiency).
I got mine from the brand Anker - they were one of the few that offered a charger that wasn't ridiculously slow. It's 600mAh from an outlet, 1000mAh from USB (meaning it could charge the battery almost twice as fast). It came with two spares and the charger. All the reviews I read didn't say great things about the "universal" chargers, and they all seemed to have lower rates of charging - but maybe I wasn't looking at the right ones.
Hi, it's taking a really long time to charge my z1 compact using the usb port on my laptop (macbook air 2010).
It's been an hour and i'm at 27%.
Is this normal?
Also, is quickcharge 2.0 enabled on our phones? Would it make usb charging from a laptop faster? (I think mine is just 0.5 A, whatever Apple gives you).
Not sure on laptops but on my PC I could charge it for 3 hours to 100%.... While on dock I could charge it like 50minutes and it's full. Quickcharge 2.0 works only on chargers with quickcharge 2.0 support. Hence it won't work on laptops. And it's alot more slower since laptops has lower current output on USB ports than usual outlet chargers.

whhaatt????
i charge using the dock an it fully charged my Z1c at least 3 hours. how can u fully charged yours at 50 minutes only?
I guess it depends on what you plug the dock into. I haven't timed it but I'm pretty sure mine charges from about 40% to 100% in under an hour. I plug the dock into a usb power adapter.
---------- Post added at 09:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ----------
Returning to the op's question, if I connect the phone to my macbook pro and then close the lid, the phone stops charging immediately. It charges just fine if I leave the lid open. I only tried it once overnight so I don't know how long it took to fully charge.

Model?
Charger suplied with my z1c is EP880.
About 2hrs20minutes from 5% to full battery.
And i think that is good, charging full battery in 50minutes isnt good for battery health.
Same as yours also... EP880. It says here output is 5.0VDC and 1500mAh. I'm pretty sure the battery is ok as it's holding a 2-3 day lifespan before I can drain it to lower 10%. Although I'm no power user. I mostly use the phone for texting and web surfing... The most battery hog usage I can do is reflashing ROMs in recovery which could deduct 1 to 4% of battery after reboot. Our electricity standards here are 220v of current.

Nice shot Riyal.
Same battery/charger/phone but 250% faster charging?
Thats a riddle for sure, laws of physics says that one of factors in equation must be different.
I suggest you to check yours battery in service centre.
2300mAh (healthy) battery can be charged with stronger charger in 50 minutes, ofcourse that isnt good for her longevity.
But with ours EP850 charger thats impossible, battery or electronics inside phone must be messed up.
Calculating with an output of 500mA from an USB 2.0 port, the charging time (0 -> 100%) will result in approximately 5hours. (Note that the battery is normally never at 0mAh)

Nah no need... I'm pretty sure battery is ok as whenever I charge it on my PC it's charging slow also like any other phones. So I think this is just really qualcomm's quickcharge 2.0 kicking in... Anyways I observed the phone. It's not heating up or whatever probably it's just because of the battery quality. It must be having good chemical reaction when charging hence less waste on energy.

Yours phone is .114 firmware also?
Well, something must be different, my phone and others are charging 2 or more hrs on EP880.
Found something interesting...
I have a energy monitor (http://www.elv.at/elv-energy-master-basic-energiekosten-messgeraet-1.html) between EP880 charger and the wall outlet.
If I use the usb cable EC801 (witch comes with Xperia Z1C) on my dk32 dock, the e-mon. shows about 7.5W energy consumption @~50% battery level !
If I use the usb cable EC450 (witch comes with my Xperia P) on my dk32 dock, the e-mon. shows about 5W energy consumtion @~50% battery level !
Conclusion: Phone charges much more faster with EC801 !
I like the older cable because its much more flexible then the new one - so that's the reason I used the old one and than I saw the differences on the measurement device....
FYI: Charging power is also depended on battery level -
Whats yours charging times (from 5-100%)?
Mine 2hrs-2hrs 20min.
I have EC-801 cable and DK31 dock with hims factory cable, same charging times on both.

Can`t say that for now because I have the phone since a few days....
Edit: Charging time from 20-90%(green led) is 90min. and for the last 10% further 30min.

Yes, thats it, 2hrs is minimum from 5-10% to full battery (with EP880 charger ofcourse).
To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the ZTE Axon 7 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
On Quick Charge, it's fast. On a older computer, it's painfully slow. In my car, on a standard charger, it's not too bad. I just bought a QC 3.0 charger for my car and it'll charge about 30% in my 35 minute drive home (have to test that some more).

I would double check the charger port and make sure your plugging into the QC 3.0 port, and not the 2.0A port (not sure if yours has one as well or not) my Axon 7 charges about 45-50% in my 25 minutes ride home so It doesnt sound like its charging quite as fast, unless its QC2.0

Have tried to push the battery as hard as I can while charging at the same time. The phone won't stall or drop charge thankfully. Gets a little hot but nothing like other phones I've owned (Nexus 6P would boil, OnePlus one would slowly drop battery until it died, iPhone 5s would get too hot to touch, HTC M7 would also become too hot to touch and unresponsive). If you're wondering if you can use this phone with GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi Hotspot, Data, Spotify while charging at the same time you can.
B27 A2017U, From 37% to 95% in 45 minutes. 5 minutes of screen and one 5 min call during charging. I won't use fast charge often because I don't need it, battery health is more important to me.
Charging speed is very fast. Battery life is great. I usually have ~20% left after running it from about 6AM to 11PM. I did misconnect the charger dongle one night, and so was at 11% starting the day. I switched to ultra power saving mode and was at 10% at the end of the day!?!
Charging speeds tbh are fairly decent. On QC 3.0 i get about 95% in about 1 hour. Nothing compared to Dash charge on the OP3, that method is insanely fast. To compare OP3's 3000 mah takes about 40~45 minutes to top off. Considering the additional 250maH on the Axon, i think the 1 hour approx charging time is good. I suppose once you get the taste of Dash charging, QC becomes less palatable
P.S. Axon's power saving mechanisms are actually quite good. No need for any 3rd party apps. I don't miss Greenify considering the background apps get killed when the screen goes off. So battery life being decent is a good trade off.
I've been impressed by the charging speed. It's close to the Moto X Pure that I loved.
I've personally never had a phone that had any type of quick charge until this phone, so I'm certainly impressed.
Hello
Question: is QC3 a killer of battery? Is charging at low amp better, or...? Cuz I read here and there that it's still better to use a slow speed charging device so that the battery doesn't heat up and doesn't wear off too fast.
What are your thoughts about that?

If you charge it before you sleep, I would use a charger with a lower am so it can prolong the battery's life. Using quick charge 3.0 is convenient, but it will certainly decrease the battery's life over a period of time.
Before bed: Not recommended to use another adapter to charge any phone that didn't come with it, but I would use a different adapter with a slower charging rate and voltage.
When you're about to go out or etc: Quick charge 3.0
Sent from my ZTE A2017U using XDA-Developers mobile app
I use the Aukey charger. I have 2 portable QC3 and one "traditional" QC3 also. And I forgot which brand but a good one as a slow speed charger.
I thought that QC3 was different than the "old" high speed charger because it had something to do directly with the SnapDragon. The "old" high speed chargers are just sending more amps like 2A or more, while QC3 is more "controlled" so it didn't affect the battery. Am I totally wrong?
Has anyone noticed their charging time increase by 10-20 minutes or so? Could be my imagination as I also have an op3 now..

Probably your imagination. Dash charge is much faster that QC. If your phone's charging up in an hour it's fine.

Oh yes absolutely. I came from an OP3 to Axon. It's the only thing I miss about the OnePlus 3. And the ROM. And the front finger print scanner. And updates.
On a more serious note, Dash charge is really fantastic. As advertised. 3000 mAh takes 40 to 45 mins, but the most important feature is that it doesn't heat the phone up and using the OP3 while charging is a better experience.
Nice
I think QC3 is already pretty fast, so... Charging low speed when I'm not in a rush, following some (your?) advices here.
I had ordered a 1+3 and canceled when I saw the Axon7, but I had also a Dash Charger on the way and couldn't cancel that one. Too bad they're two different technologies
The 1+3T is... nice

Yeah i absolutely hate the existence of the op3t cause it has everything that op3 didn't. And yeah don't use the dash charger with anything else unless you like watching things getting smoked up.

I don't trust it to keep the battery in good condition over a long time. So I use a normal charger instead.
What’s the best way to charge the phone to maintain battery health?
1. Will Regular use of Warp charge cause any long term harm to battery?
2. Charging from ~10 to 100 (full charge) or keep it 30% to 70%
Other opinions say that newer batteries don’t need this kind of manual care,the circuitry takes care of it
Any tips?
I've had a lot of phones, cameras, and RC cars with lithium batteries (lithium ion in the first two and lithium polymer in the latter). Done a lot of research, and found out mainly lithium batteries don't like to be full or empty, they don't like heat, nor bring charged too quickly. People can say what they want about new tech, when I use any type of quick charge my phone gets hotter than if I use a normal 2.4a 5v charge.
I've read similar things about 30 to 70 or 80 percent, but that falls into the things I'm not willing to do category. I need my phone full when I leave for the day. And conversely, I don't like having my phone plugged in all night, if I go to bed at 9 it's full by 11 and sitting there at 100% until I wake up. To that end I bought a charger on Amazon for like $10 that shuts off once the phone is full. Sure, it's at like 96 or 97% when I wake up but whatever. Brand is 'Bull', it's white and has two buttons on the top to initiate the charge on either port. Been using it for three months and it works flawlessly.

Or try Battery Charge Limit app, if you are rooted. It lets you set when the charging will stop. Mine stops at 80% and only charges again if it drops below 75%.
I mean you can worry about all this but in reality, how long do you plan to keep the phone? On avg phone batteries lose charging efficiency around 6 months from what I've seen. Also the phones hardware stops charging the batt at 100pct and runs on AC power after that while plugged in.
If you keep it for years and years, this is why they make replacement batteries even for iPhones so just don't worry and keep it charged if that's what you want

I wish they would build that natively into Android. I don't generally root, but that's tempting. My laptop does something similar, desk use mode or something, stops charging at 60% and stays there. My wife's will actually let you set the upper threshold, Dell gaming G series I think.
