I'm using the "fast charger" that comes with the phone, but it seem to charge slower than I predicted. It says 1 hour until full charge when they phone is at 55%.
Is this right?
did you use the cable that come with the phone?
not all microusb cable can do fast charge.

Yes. I'm using everthing that comes with it.
The next question is.... were you messing with the phone while it gave you that estimated 1 hour left to fully charged? If you have the screen on and doing a lot of crap with it, of course it will take longer (this may be obvious to some, I'm not trying to insult you if you didn't know this, just stating the fact)
My experience with it went like this yesterday - note that I haven't even unpacked the factory charger, was using the Motorola Turbo Charger for this "experiment"
0% (phone died over night off charger to make this test)
30 mins on Turbo Charger - 45%
1 hour on Turbo Charger - 85%
Had to take it off to go to work, but those are some great numbers for a charger not necessarily designed for this phone, but the device was in Fast Charging mode the whole time, of course, so it was comparative
Is there some way to turn on fast charge? Because 6hours to fully charge or even charge a lot I don't have.

Use the fast charger that came with it or the Turbo Charger and it comes on automatically, 6 hours was with me using wireless charging which is always going to be slower than any wired 2+ amp charger will do

Lol I plugged into the the stock charger from the box and it said 6hrs to charge (from 0) switched outlet just incase that outlet was wonky but same result. The I said screw it and just figured I use to wireless charger so at least the phone would be near me, low and behold it says 3hrs (from 0). So apparently wireless is the way to go.

You must have had something else going on with the phone for it to say 6 hours on the factory charger....... I don't remember what mine said because I plugged it in, powered it on, and started watching the clock in the kitchen, turning on the phone screen only to check battery levels at those specific intervals I stated! I didn't even touch the device to start anything when I started this experiment, so it wasn't running any apps other than Android system level stuff, but no, wireless definitely isn't going to be faster, despite what the estimated timer said on the phone!

Well it's charging super quick compared to that factory charger. On the factory charger (plugged in right after phone died) went from 0 to 5 percent in about 25 minutes. on the wireless charger right now its gone from 5 to 16 in under 20 minutes. more than twice as fast.
Aslo, I am using the new Samsung wireless charger that is supposed to support fast charging.
**EDIT**
It charges even faster if I plug it directly into the cable for the wireless charger. Now it says 1hr29mn instead of 2hrs.

Make sure the cable is plugged all the way in to the charging brick. If it's not plugged in all the way, even a few mm, it will charge much slower.

Whenver I'm charging via wall charger or USB my captivate is super duper SLOOOWWW. It takes forever to switch screens, the keyboard doesn't function correctly, and my bluetooth won't sync. As soon as I disconnect the charge everything is back to normal.
Any ideas?
No replies? Sooo...Am I the ONLY one?
be patient for answers here
Ive noticed it charges slowly but I have not noticed it being slow while charging.
The theoretical output of the charger is .7 amps, and thats not very much in the smartphone world these days. When I am using it and it is plugged in, it charges roughly a percent every eight minutes. The .7 amps must be just enough to cover the phone being on and in use.
I am currently looking around for chargers in the 1 amp range. My old tilt 2 charger works great for that and i definitely saw a charge time improvement. I would love to have one with a greater than 1amp output but I dont think you can find them anywhere
Are you running SetCPU with set profiles ?
If Yes : that is the problem , adjust profile.
If Not : must be something else, not a common behavior.
I read this on another forum but someone mentioned changing the default usb setting from Kies to something something else may help.

As long as the output is 5 volts, you're o.k.
My captivate runs the same while charging but the actual process of charging the phone takes forever it seems. I've only had it a couple days now and I have to get used to killing some tasks while charging because I actually think the battery life was decreasing as it charged.
Incidentally, the display is the real killer on the battery...most tasks don't really eat as much battery life in comparison.
Recent Nokia chargers will work with a slight mod to the plug where it fits the phone,
After Pimping out my phone it works fine while charging now. Yea screen eats up like 82% of batteries resources...OUCH!
Just search for Motorola P513 on Amazon. Rapid rate car charger! And, belive me, it's perfect fit! Now on sale for $5.85 (was $29.99).

for those of you who have a old iphone/ipod touch charger block, use that instead.
its rated for 5V/1A output, higher than the 5V/.7A output on the default samsung charging block.
that should charge the phone much faster
I have the same issue with charging, no matter what charger I use (iPhone, Tilt, USB), it's all VERY painfully slow. I've been as high as 1% per 6 minutes (rare - when using Nokia charger (1.2A I believe) to 1% per 13 minutes via USB.
I'm thinking it might be something internal to the actual phone. The iPhone didn't take this long even with USB charging through a computer or LCD monitor. Heck, the iPhone on average was 90 seconds per 1% of battery. I could have a nearly dead phone and be fully charged and ready in less than an hour and a half.
Anyone else think the same?
yea i think it might be something related to the phone indeed. this is, in my opinion, the biggest problem. i'm always on the go and i depend on my phone so much that if it doesn't charge fast enough i'm screwed.
let me make a post in the galaxy s forum and see if there's battery charging problems

which thread is that? I'm curious to track that one as well. I have gotten 4 other people to purchase the Captivate from the iPhone and we are all on the same boat..even with a 1.2A charger from my N97 (which only lasted 3 weeks with me...but can't wait for the N8), it takes about 4 hours to charge the battery...something's wrong there. It shouldn't take less to drain the battery than to charge it!
How long does it take your Tab to charge from about 0-20% to 100%?
It takes mine forever - about 16 hours, although I'm on stock Honeycomb rom

I'm not completely sure, but 16 hours seems to be too much to me. I usually charge over night, so i guess it might be something around 8 hours.

I think so too!
I just wonder what is causing this... (1) some faulty chip in the tab itself, (2) faulty battery, (3) faulty Samsung cord or (4) faulty charger. No way to find out for sure, unless I return it to the shop and wait about 30 days (at best) while they figure that out and give their verdict
I hope someone has\had this problem and knows what exactly was causing it.

the last 5% take forever. That's usual behaviour for charging. Check out how long it takes to charge to 90% or maybe 95%. Should not take longer than 6 hours. If it does then maybe try a different charger or reset your tab to make sure it's no software bug.
Hard to tell the real source of error, sorry...
Are you ABSOLUTELY certain to be using the original, for your tab, charger, with a 2 amp output.
With such charger, it should be about 4 - 4.5 hours.
But if you are using a generic, or something made for an avg phone, with .5A output... Well 16h seems normal

I am using Samsung banded charger that came with the Tab.
Sometimes it does charge fast, but most of the time it either charges very slow, as though it were charging from USB, or doesn't recognize the charger, or even says it's established MTP-connection...
from 8 to 10 hours on hc 3.2
but now on ICS take less
using the charger that came with the tab, you should get charging times around the 4/5 hours. HC 3.1 and 3.2.

Does the cable work properly when you use it for USB operations (file transfer, etc.)?
If so, then maybe the charger is broken/faulty. Samsung (in its infinite wisdom ) put a resistor network in their chargers so that the tab/phone can recognize a charger vs a usb connection ... or maybe just to make money from over-engineered accessories. who knows? However, if that resistor network has failed (or the cable is broken, hence the question above about USB operations) then the charger will present as a USB port rather than as a Samsung power source.
Oh! Another data point to consider: does gently wiggling/straightening the cable when it's connected cause the behavior to change?

There isn't much difference with ICS 4.0.4 US rom in my opinion. And it is still picky what chargers it accepts when it's turned on (DX.COM charger works for me). I usually turn the TAB off and use a stronger charger, but it still takes a LONG time to charge in my opinion. I do an overnight charge as much as I can.
Did an overnight charge with the Tab turned off, and it charged to 100%, finally. But when it's on (even in airplane mode) it only charged to 60% last night (took 12 hours!).
Weird)
i always charging my tab from 0 or 2-5% to 100% either when powered on or off and it always takes 5 to 5 1/2 hours. no more and no less with default charger set.
first i thought it was taking too long but when i saw this thread i'm glad its only 5 hours

Common belief (knowledge) is that this is not the best for a lithium ion battery... It increases the wear, gets it to lose capacity sooner... If possible, charge your battery often, like as soon as you can below 75%. Only occasionally drop battery to 0%. IIRC, there's a good website called "battery university" talking about that

Thanks, used your post to fix mine. I ended up replacing the cable and not the charger. I'm using an original charger with a new cable now.
I am seeing same problem with my brother's 7300 tab as well. Its taking around 10 or more hrs to charge.
Anybody got tablet replaced in warranty for the same reason? Even with Nexus 7 original 2 A charger its taking too much time. With samsung original charger also it was taking similar time so i am sure problem is with the tab only.
4-5 hours on mine.
Sent from my GT-P7310 using xda app-developers app
Many Galaxy tab 8.9 owners have reported experiencing long charge times to the tune of about 16 hours, me included.
Solution:
Plug in the charger to the tab very very slowly. The charge icon in the system tray has a lightning symbol on it aka normal charge.
Connecting it at normal speed results to the charging icon in the system tray having a cross on it. It then charges very very slowly.
Why should we need gymnastics to normally charge our tablets? Ask Samsung.

Hi !
I just received my Nexus 6, and I saw that, when I reach 100%, Qi charging stop.
I charge my phone at night, and I don't think that going to 99% then 100%, and then 99%, 100%... during 8 hours is good for the battery.
On my Nexus 5, the phone was at 100% and said "charged" all the night.
Is there a way to "Qi charged" like the N5 ?
If no, will this be possible one day ? (Is it software or hardware ?)
Thank you !

I'm using the samsung Qi wireless charging and my phone charges fine. the little light on the charging station blinks when charging and it goes solid when 100% is reached.
I wouldn't worry about that. The Qi charging is very gentle and you will start the day full up.

I am using the aukey luna. Once the phone gets to 100% it stops charging completely. I wake up between 94 and 96 percent usually -_-
I frequently leave mine on Qi charge all night and I am not worried about damage. If you are then you could get one of those on/off timers and set it to power up your ac adapter say 3 hours before you normally wake up :good:

There is no worry about the battery but there is one other problem I found.
I use wireless chargers everywhere, car, house, office, and unless I set my screen to turn off after just 30 seconds, it will not shut off when the charge is close to or at 100%.
The difference this time is that not only does the phone trickle charge instead of just staying charging like the Nexus 5 does, it also wakes the screen and resets the screen off timer. Unless you push power off before putting it in the charger with 100% battery the screen will never turn off.
This brings up issues with screen burn. So if you forget it may stay awake on a single image for a long time.

Weird - my N5 and N6 both will charge up to 100% and stop charging till the battery drops to 98% or so (that usually takes over 4 hours at night) - then, they charge up again to 100%. (they definitely don't start recharging in 30 seconds)

When the battery reaches 100%, it isn't going to be charged anymore till the battery level drops. The DT900 has a small LED indicator on it that turns off when it isn't actively charging, and that's how I know that my phone has reached 100%. I haven't used the other chargers that you have listed, but I have the DT-910 as well and that behaves in a similar manner (like the DT-900)

I'm not sure how the algorithm works but I'm sure it keeps the phone operational while the battery is being kept at 100% without actually overcharging it.
All I can tell you is that when My N4 or N5 reaches 100% the lightning bolt in the battery status never goes away. It is as if it was plugged in via the USB or AC.
The N6 is the first phone I owned that actually stops charging at 100% on wireless chargers. The lightning bolt goes away and the phone waits until the charge drops a bit before connecting again (the lightning bolt shows up). Again, only on the wireless charger because when plugged in it acts the same as the other two.

Yeah my G3 (F460S) always stayed at 100% when it was done. The Nexus 6 will dip to 96-98% before charging again. I think this a bug because all other qi enabled phones and tablets I've had don't do that.
My Nexus 6 does not resume charging whatsoever after it has reached 100%. I wake up consistently between 94 and 96%. Using the aukey luna.

usb charger doesnt provide enough voltage going in to charge it while you are using it. if you notice, the regular n6 charger charges the phone while putting in nearly 2500mV(n5 only saw 1200mV max while charging). so, if you wont use the device, after hours on tbe charger the usb charge will finally charge it. but if you are using at the same time, more current goes out of the n6 then goes into it.

If you notice, the regular n6 charger charges the phone while putting in nearly 2500mv(n5 only saw 1200mv max while charging). So, if you wont use the device, after hours on tbe charger the usb charge will finally charge it. But if you are using at the same time, more current goes out of the n6 then goes into it.

overnight, you can leave it connected to usb, but yea, use the original charger for a fast charge. now a few kernels do enable fast charge over usb, but itll still be quicker to use the regular wall charger.

thanks bro!
I just got a Quick Charge 2.0 certified charger made by Tronsmart, the WC1Q. I plugged it into my phone but there seems to be no notification for fast, quick or turbo charging. Is this how this phone works because I tried it on someone's Note 5 and it did display Turbo charging when the adapter was plugged in.
The charger itself seems of average build quality and it has 'made in china' written on it. But since it did show up as a turbo charger on the Note 5 I want to figure out a way to be sure the charger is fine and that the Moto X 2014 just doesn't show any specific quick charge notification.

Well, I am using the same charger and it does shows the 'Turbo Power Connected' notification when plugged in my X 2014. I am on Stock Marshmallow on XT1096(running XT1095 rom).

Thanks for your reply hamzaalijoiyah.
Interesting, I suppose this has something to do with Lollipop then? Since I'm on Stock 5.1. I have an XT1097 (Sprint).
Where did you get the charger from? Can you show me pictures of the box it came in and the actual charger. I want to see if mine is at least the real thing.
Btw, how 'fast' is it in real world terms? Do you use it much?
Sure I will just get back to you in a while with all details.

I got it from a local Online merchandise, link here
Real world performance is great. Charges the phone pretty fast, though phone also tends to heat quite much. It came in a white Standard sized box, though I am afraid that I have lost the box. But here are some pictures of charger itself:

I got it from Allmytech as well. So that eliminates the charger being a fake. Got it in a white box as well. (I do doubt if this is a recertified product or first copy or something). In amy case, it must be Marshmallow that supports the quick charge notification unless anyone else can confirm this. Thanks once again for your help.
(I'm still working my way to a low battery so that I can try charging the phone and see how quick it charges even without the notification)
So my phone finally discharged down to 16% and I started charging it using the Tronsmart 1 Port Quick Charge 2.0 Adapter.
The phone charged to 100% completely in a total of 1 hour and 30 minutes. I used it a bit during charging but most of the time it was left on just sitting there with 3G and wifi disabled. As fast charging works it did turbo charge the first 60% really fast. In half an hour it was up at 61% and in 15 minutes it came up to about ~32%. I will try this again tomorrow morning when my battery should be drained, it seems like ever since I got the charger the battery life has gotten better
Hamzaalijoiyah let me know how fast your phone charges.

Btw, the phone did not heat up even slightly during charging.

Mine charges in roughly the same time, though I never payed much attention to the charging time. But it does gets heated, though not alarming hot, but I can feel the difference.
I bought my XT1097 here in Brazil July 2015 and it came with Motorola Turbo Charger and I got a 2nd charger, the same in the question: Tronsmart QC2.0 from Aliexpress and it works as well. I'm at MM 6.0.
To be sure, try to download some apps that show the actual charging current, like AMPERE (link here).
As you may already know, when your battery is low, the QuickCharge puts a lot of juice really fast and it slowly reduces the speed when battery is getting full. Under 40% of battery is normal the ampere app to show about 2300mAh. It qualifies that QC2.0 is working fine!
That's it! I hope you have understood me... sorry about my english!
So I've been using the charger when I need a quick charge in the morning before I head out to work and its working great. Does heat up when it feels like it but again not 'alarmingly hot'. I checked the current using the Ampere app and it's pumping the correct amount i.e. ~2000ma. The charger checks out, it's working great. 60% battery in 30 mins as it should. And there is no "Quick Charge" notification on Lollipop for the XT1097.
Nice then!
It should be a Lollipop "Issue" cause in Marshmallow the TurboPower notification pops up right after you plug the cord!
