Hello *@*,
I intentionally discharged my GN to a battery level of 1% today to record the charging time just for myself. Then I thought: why not make a graph out of it and share it with XDA?
Total charging time (1% to 100%): 142 minutes
Level checked at 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 125, 130, 135, 140 and 142 minutes
WiFi On, 3G On, Sync On, Screen Off, no calls/msgs/notifications received, phone not used except for % check
1750 mAh Samsung stock battery & charger
Stock or extended battery? I've noticed my charge time varies wildly. Most of the time it's on par with what you've listed here, but every once in a while it goes up 30% in like 20 mins.

Get a more powerful charger.... I'm using my playbook charger, which uses a 2.1 amp... Way faster than 142 mins... Mine takes about 1:30 to charge from 1% to full.

All capacitors acts this way (a battery is also a capacitor) the charge/discharge is always fsstest to 63% both ways and after that it slowes down.. this can ofcourse be monitored and controlled with soft or hardware. But this is the reality of capacitors

isnt it bad for the battery when it is not designed to receive charge that quickly?
All about charging LiIon batteries: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries
TL;DR:
LiIons are charged in two main stages:
- stage 1 with constant current, that's the fast charging rate for (roughly) the first 2/3 of the batteries capacity
- stage 2 with constant voltage and a tapered charge current for the last 1/3 of the batteries capacity, that's the slow part where the graph flattens
This is necessary because a LiIon battery is full at exactly 4.20 V and can not handle any overcharge. In fact at ~4.55 V (only + 0.35 V!) the battery would "vent with flame" aka explode.
If you wanna do this on purpose, this is what will happen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCWdnjLqVWw
Using a more powerful charger can work if the electronics inside the GN handle the higher current properly. I wouldn't recommend it, though. It may charge quicker but it will wear down your battery faster as well.
The phone can only draw up to 1A regardless of much higher the charger is.
So if you're buying a charger, don't bother paying extra for a 2A, but there is no harm in using a 2A charger if you already have one.

Stock charger is 5V/1A (=5 watts). There may be some leeway built into the GN's charging electronics so it can utilize more than 5 watts, but you can safely assume that Samsung would have packaged this phone with a 10 watt charger if it was safe (or desirable in terms of charging time vs. battery durability). Charging time is an important aspect after all.
The phone can absolutely handle it. I think Samsung is just too cheap to give us a rapid charger, I mean there was enough space in the box.

My car charger is a 2amp charger and does approximetly 1 percent a minute. At home I connect it to my HP Touchpad charger and it seems to charge really quick.
But I LOOOOOOVE my car charger as it can charge my Tablets and phones fast. Well worth the 30 bucks I spent at Best Buy for the rapid charger.
surely a 2amp charger is capable of providing 2amps, but if whatever is attached only drawers 1amp then that's what it'll get ? It doesn't force 2 amps down it's throat ? My palm pre 2 charger is 1amp, my touchpad has a 2 amp charger, but my palm pre doesn't charge any quicker using the touchpad charger.
My Gnex does charge really fast using the plug that came with it especially coming from galaxy s2 which takes ages for a full charge.

FYI, 1% a min is roughly 1A.
In 1 hour, it would restore 60%, 60% of 1.750A = 1.050A.
Nexus battery is the perfect size to eyeball the inflow rate.
30%/hr = .5A
60%/hr = 1A
60%/30min = 2A
If you think you're charging at 2A, simply time it. Also these are rough numbers and will only be accurate when the battery is low.
Anyone else notice that with the supplied charger charging ins't what it should be. My iPhone 5 charged almost twice as fast as this phone. I find it kind of annoying. I did order one of these chargers hoping that solves the issue.

No its not. Especially when your using the phone and its on 5% plugged in. Takes forever to reach 6%.
I'm having literally no issues with charging from dead to 25% in about 15 minutes. 2 hours to 100% im very happy with the speed of charging and this is using my m8 charger as the m9 one is still sealed in box.

I've been using the GS4 charger, with a high output cable. The Samsung charger is 1.5A where the HTC m8/m9 charger is 1.0A
the supplied charger is definitely giving 1.5 amps to mine. charges up pretty quick. with a quickcharge 2.0 charger it's crazy fast to charge.
One thing to note is it will take a faster charge the lower the battery level is, which means more heat. if you're also gaming with it, you could be bumping against the battery charging cutoff temperature. I only ever saw this happen on my Tegra HOX+. IIRC HTC has the notification LED blink in alternating green and orange/red when this happens. I'm guessing you would have mentioned temperature in the OP if this was the case, but I figured I'd bring it up.

Just spread your arm, pick whether HTC M8 or M9 charger, and read upon it.. 8)
Both M8 and M9 chargers are - 1.5 Ampere.. furthermore both handhelds are charging fast - otherwise if the cable is a problem..

Sorry, meant it was 1.5a for HTC and 2.0a for the Samsung one. Didn't have them on hand to check.
iPhone 5 battery is 1,440 mAh... M9 battery is 2,840 mAh. 50% charge of Iphone battery doesn't equal 50% charge of M9 battery, in terms of charge time.
I believe the rate of charging to decrease while you use it to prevent the phone from overheating. (My M8 does this as well)
My stock charger is fast, and my quick charge 2.0 is crazy fast.

Yeah, this. I got an HTC Rapid Charger 2.0 for it just to be sure since I knew with certainty it's Quick Charge 2.0. In retrospect perhaps not the best move considering I'm essentially incentivising HTC for not including one in the box from the get go, but whatever.

Yup i got the same issue gonna take me 6-11hrs to charge and its very slow charging
I had a similar problem to OP. The second night I had my phone I plugged it in at 11 pm with about 5% battery left and went to bed. At 5:15 the next morning (6 hours later) it was only at 85%. I can't tell if there's still a problem or I just think there is because I'm paranoid about it now. I haven't run my battery down that low since, and looking at the charge current with Ampere seems somewhat inconclusive. I may have to run it down and then keep an eye on it while charging to see what's going on.
Something IS wrong with SOME M9 phones (I think)
I have one of the "bad" ones. Mine takes hours and hours to charge, whether on the cable and plug that came in the box, or on any others that I have around - some I know are 2 Amps. I think there is something seriously wrong with some of these phones, based on what I am reading in this thread, and on my own example. I have had my M9 for just a few days.
I'd like to post a follow up to this thread after having the phone for a couple of weeks now.
I've had several occurrences where my phone didn't fully charge overnight. The worst was a few days ago, I plugged it in at 5% and the next morning (6-8 hours) it was at 1%, it actually lost charge. I noticed before unplugging it so I looked at the history in Battery Widget Reborn and it showed the battery level just slowly dropped from 5% to 1% without any jumps or dips. The battery icon at the top of the screen showed it was charging but it died at that point so I didn't get a chance to open Ampere.
I think it's the charger (and/or the cable) that came with the phone. I've tried several other chargers that have all worked reliably:
- The QuickCharge 2.0 charger that came with my wife's S6 charges my phone really fast.
- I have a Kmashi external battery that also seems to charge it relatively quickly.
- Two older chargers that are several years old (both rated 5 volts at 0.7 amps) charge it from around 30% to full in 3-5 hours.
At first I thought it might have been a wakelock problem, but the battery has been dropping so slowly when the phone is just sitting in my pocket that I'm confident now that it's not wakelocks. I don't know if HTC is likely to send a replacement, but I'm going to stop into the Verizon store that I got the phone from to see if they'll replace it.

My phone is also odd when charging.
Half of the time it takes 6 hours or more to charge. If I look at GSAM battery monitor it shows a charge current of around 350mA. If I then unplug the charger and reconnect after 15 seconds I get over 1300mA charging current, most of the time. (It takes GSAM a while to show an accurate reading). Occasionally it will take a few tries to get it right. Once I get a good reading over 1300mA the phone will charge in 1.5 hours like it should.
Something very buggy about this phone's charging circuit. I get the same behaviour with all chargers and cables, even my battery bank.

I use a 2A tablet charger from my hp touchpad. Charges from dead to 100% in 45 minutes.
Has LG added real quick charge 2.0 to lg g4 in android 6.0 (Marshmallow)?
I know that officially, the phone has qc 2.0 but in real life the results are even not close to real QC 2.0 (in lollipop).
Can somebody who has android 6.0, check is?
QC 2.0 is within the chipset, you need QC Charger to check if it fast charger the phone or not. Give it half and hour to see how it turns out and compare it with another charger.
As per QC2.0 standards you should be getting 2% per minute for the first 60% (i.e. 0-60% in 30 minutes) and will then slow down. Like most other people here I only get about 1.2% per minute, which is under 40% in 30 minutes, using Tronsmart QC2.0 charger.
This is on Lollipop. Wonder if anything changed on Marshmallow.

Actully, it does support, but probably LG's software disable is in 5.1.

You can install Marshmallow if You are using H818 Version Phone.Please check my below Post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64112578&postcount=1288
it seems to work on my 818N(HKG) running V20a (M), as on lock screen I get a "fast charging" notification (using Asus charger that has a high voltage mode).
Your 2% per minute rule work only on the lower end of the battery: capacity % bits are longer to get on the last end of the charge, so when you test your charging speed you need to make sure you test on the low percentage levels, as this is where the quick charging takes most of its effects (go from 0 to 60% in 30 minutes, but the last bit lasts about an hour or more if you read this http://www.tomsguide.com/us/fastest-charging-phones,review-2995.html).
To be explicit, G4 takes 1h02 to reach 80%, then another 34 minutes before reaching 100% charge
you can google about charging profile if you are interested in the topic, or read some tutorials like this one http://www.ti.com/lit/an/snva557/snva557.pdf
If you start from say 10%, how much charge does it gain in the first 30 minutes? That's all that matters.
I get only 36% which is disappointing considering there are HTC Ones that reach 60% in the same time, although the battery is slightly lower at 2840mah.
And Qualcomm's specs indicate a 3300 mah battery should reach 60% in 30 minutes.
there might be a problem with your charger (as in AC wall plug), as Tom's testing from 5 and reaches 42% in 30 minutes.
Or simply that your unit does not fast charge ? What does your lock screen say? Charging or fast charging?
It does support in lollipop, just no quick charge notification in the phone

On Lollipop it does not say fast charging even if it is. From Marshmallow I believe it indicates fast charging on notification.

It's not, the difference if only 23 percent. Moreover, the voltage should increace from 5v to 9v or 12v but in LG g4 even with QC 2.0 charger, the voltage isalway 5v.
What you get from your QC charger is just 2 amp instead 1.8 amp of original charger, this is what makes the 23% difference.

All I can say is, when I plug the bundled LG charger, I get no notification of fast charge. When I plug a 5V 2.1A charger I also do not get the fast charging notification .
But when I plug my Asus Zenfone2 charger which can climb up to 9V 2A, I get the fast charge notification. I need to check how fast it charges.

I don't know about the UCH10, but I know with my Powergen charger I see it going into HV (fast charge) mode. (The charger I have has an indicator for when it's in 9v mode).
However, I have noticed this device's thermal throttling is pretty aggressive. You need to let the thing idle if you expect it to charge at any reasonable rate thanks to the Snapdragon 810 being a power hog.
Confimed the UCh10 charger fast charge working
Only got 13% from 1% for 15mins
What happened!!
Mine came with the UCH10 charger and am using my short Sony usb cable that came with my headset (EC300). I went from 4% to 100% in 1 hour and 35 mins. At the end of the day with my bluetooth headset and smart watch conneted all day (12 hours) moderate use emails,mms,calls. I have about 42% remaining. It only seams to be getting better with each charge. Today it went from 5% to 100% in 1 hour and 22 mins.
Perheps Sony's fast charging is to speed up overall charging at a faster rate. As i was from Note 5, its charging takes only 10 mins to jump from 5% to 38%!!
Perheps they are both using different fast charging tech?

Both are using the same under different names. Samsung named it "Adaptive fast charging" and the rest use qualcomm's name "Quick charge".
For example mine is in the box with standard 1.5 normal charger, but I am using the charger from my dead note 4 (yes it is a quick charger one) which is charging z5p at the same speed like my note 4. Also I am monittoring the charge rate, and I can confirm that samis Adaptive charger charging at max using qualcomm's quick charge standard our z5p devices.
Edit:
If note 5 charging so fast it must be another tech from Samsung (or wrong battery stats - believe me I experienced these few times on my note 4 during flashing AOSP roms).
Cheers
Edit 2:
I can remember that note 4 when stock (tw) is charging much more aggressively during initial charge (upto around 50%, and then it just slow down), while AOSP is fast charging constantly (lower rate compared to samis stock tw rom) but use quck charge upto 90-95%.. It is a setting at the end. Yoi can force set this with custom kernel.
Hi,
Is it possible to turn off the dash charge? 5T is charged only overnight cause it can last the whole day anyway.
PS: I can turn off Fash Charge in my Samsung Note. So it saves battery if I charge only overnight and don't need fast charge feature.
There is no stock option for this. Maybe a custom kernel can support it or a custom kernel that doesn't support it at all would also be a possibility in theory.
I would suggest using a normal power adapter instead of the Dash charging one. Even a normal USB C cable prevents Dash charging as it can only be used with OnePlus' own cable. So maybe get a cheap USB C cable and use that?
Use a low amperage charger. Something like 1000mah. This will slowly charge your phone overnight. But make sure you use a quality charger.
Why would you want to do this? The OnePlus dash charger works differently from other chargers in that it holds the heat in the charging block. If you use a standard adapter you would transfer the heat to the phone while charging. I would NOT recommend doing this.

I use an Anker IQ 6-port Charger with a couple of fairly good quality cables.
I personally try to avoid any kind of fast charge because it will end up damaging the battery life faster than "standard" charge, even if the heat is absorbed by the DASH charger block. IQ Charge adapts itself with the needs of the device connected.
And my unit stays cool if I touch it while its charging.
Charge however you want. But for me, dash charger while getting ready in the morning or when you have a free half hour. Forget about charging overnight. I don't know your usage but for me, this works. The phone just sits on my nightstand without connecting overnight and I lose a very minimal battery amount.

It's fine at even less than 1 amp. We have two 5Ts in the house and charge them at night at 0.35 - 0.45 amp.
I saw the dash reduce Ampare when pass above 80%.
(When not rush I use official iPhone 1Amp charger.)
Use 5V/2A standard charger to standard usb type c.
Oneplus 5t = 5V/4A
Quick Charge = 9V/2A
Dash n QC have more power!
I'm using an old 1A Samsung power adapter and dash charge cable and in addition I also use Battery Charge Limit app to limit charging the battery to 80%.

No, it does not, especially not with dash charge. The excess heat is stored in the charger and is not transferred to the phone, and the heat is the only thing that degrades the battery faster.

Your informations are not correct.
Dash (or VOOC, which is the very same technology since OnePlus is an Oppo brand) uses high current fast charging instead of high voltage charging (QuickCharge 2.0/3.0 uses high voltage) and the circuit that produces heat in phones that are not Dash/VOOC compliant is inside the phone, while in Dash/VOOC is inside the charger.
Oppo and OnePlush themselves have acknowledged that it makes SAFE to use the phone while it is quickcharging, NOT that the battery is not getting damaged by the use of a fast charging method, even if it charges at a lower voltage and higher current.
The use of any fast charge technology implies to shorten out the overall battery life.

Just because they moved a bunch of the power regulation stuff to the charger doesn't mean the battery doesn't still get warmer. If you push 4 amps of current into it, it will heat up more so than when it receives, 1 amp.
Now you have me curious though, I guess I'll have to pay close attention to the battery temp next time I charge my battery. I've never used the dash charger, but perhaps I'll have to get it out of the box, and test with it as well just to see what kind of temps I see with a more powerful charger as well. I'm curious to see how much temperature difference there is.
I know on my Nexus 5X my phone always lasted long on a single charge when slow charged (0.35 amps), vs using the factory 3 amp charger.
Constantly topping up the battery overnight for 5-6 hours (assuming your slow charger will charge it to 100% in 2-3 hours) is worse than using Dash to charge it quickly in bursts in the morning and night when you have a spare 30 minutes.
I would never leave a phone stuck on a charger overnight. Especially since even the slowest charger in the works will charge the phone to 100% in three hours or so.

I don't charge my phone over night either but by using above mentioned Battery Charge Limit app it is possible to stop charging when desired battery level has been reached.

That would be a good idea to do. Although the best is to just Dash charge in short 30 minute bursts when you can.

The use of any fast charge technology implies to shorten out the overall battery life.

How does it imply that? Heat is the only factor. Phone is not getting hot(ter than slowly charging) when charging.
What is the truth? With the rapid charging the battery deteriorates faster or better a slower charging?
