Charging speed - Xperia Z5 Real Life Review

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Sony Xperia Z5 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Take 2h30 with UCH20 and 2h with UCH10/Anker Powerport 18W, hope Sony would increase the limitation of current, it has been limited at 1555mA maximize.

Mine got 1.54hrs to full

with MM update,, I can get 1% to full about 2hrs, compared before in LP which I can only charge it in 2hrs and 20mins.. Im using Z5 Dual (E6683) btw and using a tronsmart 18w QC 2 fast charger (which isnt properly utilized by Z5)

Edit:
With QuickCharge 2.0 from 30% - 100% in 1 :40 Hours and 2,2A

Which is pathetic, my old S6 edge would charge from about 15% to full in about an hour whilst streaming from TuneIn Radio, connected to Wifi, to a bluetooth speaker.

With pa-u28 from 22% to 100% in 1h 42m

? His post clearly states 45 minutes from depleted to 54%, not full. Not impressive at all.

When phone is cold it gaves me up to 60% from depleted in 45 mins, maybe its not impressive as you said, but when u r in a hurry just plug it for 10 mins and gives you enough battery to get a couple of hours more, also is 60% against 40 with normal charger so is a must for a couple of bucks

My Quick Charge 2.0 / 3.0 plug says 'Charging rapidly' when used with my Z3 Tablet Compact, but does nothing fancy with my Z5. Fail

It is most reliable to measure from 0 to 90%, because from 90-100 it slows down significantly.
I once got from 2-72% in 68 minutes with the UCH10, so that's about 1% per minute. Not bad, way better than my previous HTC Butterfly s which took nearly 4 hours to charge is 3200mAh battery.
The voltage does increase so it is supporting QC 2.0 but not to its fullest potential - someone else here indicated that the Z5 doesn't use step-charging. Perhaps Sony restricted quick charging to minimize overheating.

The non-Quick Charge UCH20 performs pretty much the same, certainly within 10% charge rate on the Z5. I have another QC 2.0 charger that performs the same too.
Z5 just doesn't support quick charge.

Hey Guys, I saw this thread and just thought i'd share my knowledge on the Xperia Z5 (E6653).
Im sure most of you are already familiar with what i might say in my post. if that is the case.. then you are free to disregard and ignore this post .
1. Quick Charge 3.0 is not supported on this device.. And to be honest, you don't even need it.. "Why is that??" you may ask.. Here is the simple answer..
Using a 5v 2.1A USB Charging Adapter and a thick USB charging cable with a length of about 60cm (MAX) (shorter the better). Will charge your device fast enough... Believe me.. lol
2. Atleast once a week (Full charge your battery from a depleted state) - Dead battery, and while it is powered off.. Dont start charging it for only a few minutes and then turning it on.. LEAVE IT OFF (if you dont have any alarms set for the next morning etc)
3. Do NOT keep your device on charge while you're playing CPU and GPU intensive games.. IF your battery is at roughly 70% or Above.. UNPLUG the charger from your phone.. Or you will shorten the life span of your battery very quickly.. Because at 70% and Above charging speed slows down significantly to the point where if you're playing games your battery will keep discharging rather than charge because it's consuming more power than it can restore..
(Hence the damage to overall battery life span).
4. Last but not least.. Every so often.. If you're a power user (someone who always plays a shi*t load of games and has heaps of apps running in the background etc etc). Try to remember to Calibrate your battery every so often..
(Usually when you notice things like -----> Battery draining unusually faster than normal, Battery not holding charge as long as it use to, device heating up a little more than normal, charging isn't as fast or efficient anymore) etc..
Just a few things i thought i'd throw out there..
take care Ya'll..

How has your battery life been?

I must say, this little thing is impressive... I've been hammering this thing all day! I expected 6-7 realistic hours.

That's pretty good, I see it to improve after a few more charges.
Does yours takes a while to charge fully?

I charged it once since purchase yesterday.. took about an hour and thirty.
mine has been crazy about 10 hours of nonstop usage as well I can barely put the thing down. Current charge is a bit lower cause I have been playing GTA 3 all day
I decided to use it right out of the box with 40% and it lasted 20 hours with moderate use I'd say. Played a couple games and streamed some music and a few emails. It's all charged up now, so I'll see how the battery is now!

Great battery life so far and yea it seems to take forever to charge up, then than apps syncing etc I left it alone for a while and it'd only charged like 30℅
Mine has been great as well. Been playing games and watching videos and browsing. I guess the real life tests they did were accurate when they rated it at 9 hours.

Make sure you're using the Asus charger that came with your N7 to charge it.
The Asus wall charger puts out 5v 2A - most other chargers are only outputting .5A
My first charge took forever using an old Moto charger I use for other devices.. once I plugged in the Asus it's down to less than 3 hours for a full charge.
so that means from zero (0%) to 100% fully charged how many hours of charging with the original charger?

Battery Life is Far Better than expected
My battery life has been exceptional, which surprised me. I saw a youtube video where the guy from Cnet said he was concerned about how fast the battery drained. I don't know if he had a defective unit, but I've been pushing it pretty hard. Downloading apps, watching youtube videos, checking emails constantly and browsing the internet.
I've even used super video and overskreen to browse and watch a video at the same time. Still it last at least 8-9 hours. When on a long car ride, about 6 hours of constant use... Got home and it was at just under 30% battery left. This N7 is a BEAST!
Great battery life here as well. Just watched 4 straight hours of movies streamed from my HTPC using Air Video Server and Mirage player while out of town. Flawless.

Battery life seems pretty good to me, pulled off the charger and used alot yesterday, mostly web browsing with screen set to it's lowest setting cause I was inside all day, timeout set at 5mins. I was connected to a weak wifi signal all day with gps on and bluetooth off.
can you imagine what the battery life will be when we get some cooked up roms with some tweaks in this beast!
im happy with the battery life as well as the charge time
Battery life has been great, 8-10 hours, no complaints besides that it charges very slowly.

I enjoy being able to put the tablet down and picking up the next day without it having been on the charger and see it only went down from 92% to 82%..
Last tablet I had, even turned off, it wouldn't have enough power to turn on the next day.
I am at 77% with 1d 6h 9m 5s..
I could play hard all day, set it down late at night. Wake up in the morning and hop on. It has great battery life. About as good as my iP*d

Use phone, recharge it when phone says it need to be recharged and this for 3 to 4 cycles..
I use the jb mackay rom with mackay kernel and this rom really efficient. Such a battery drain i dont have.
I think you need to change to another rom or wait for another kernel. Mostly it wont change.

At least let us know how much screen time you have here. If you're around 2 hours at this point, it's actually really good. Don't expect much more than 4 hours screen time on a charge.

The problem is probably your 'high capacity' battery, the max for our device is about 1700mAh, there is no way to fit more than that into a battery that fits into a i9000. SO your 2450mAh might actually be a 1500 or lower one. Also if your screen is that high, rom or kernel doesnt matter. Try lower brightness and less screentime.
Still, you need to post screen time along with rest of the stats if you want some kind of evaluation here. 3 hours screen time and 50% battery is real good on any smartphone.

well about ur screen draining battery____ on JB roms when i use screen on my SGS i too get same drain on every rom 60 to 65 percent drain from screen is normal i hope so
and about ur fast draining battery it MAY BE(m not sure) possible ur battery is not getting charged completely as it happens some times after flashing a new rom battery charges only upto 98 or 96 percent though while charging it shows battery charging complete 100 percent but it is not to solve this u can try switching off ur phone and then full charge then switch it on then again leave it charging for like 5 to 10 mins then again switch of it charge it for like 5 to 10 mins and then plug it off and see if it is really 100 percent charged:good:
Buy a power pack. It will solve your problems for sure. But remember to don't buy any fakes. Just original one. Never buy any not original batteries even when they have "2500mA". Original 1500 will be better for sure.

Charger for ZE550KL

My stock charger is not working anymore. The phone doesn't charge when connected to it. Anybody know any way to get a company original with reasonable price ?
Buy any new 2A charger. It will even charge your phone a little faster than the stock charger. I am using Samsung Galaxy Note 4 charger. It charges my Zenfone 2 Laser a bit faster due to its high power.

But it is not good for the phone right ? The input is designed for only 1.35 A. A higher current could damage the phone. For how long have you been using it and is there any reduction in battery life ?

But when I use a 2 amp charger, after removing it from charger, the charge drops very quickly, even on standby. For me it lost 30 percent after 2 hours on standby. Also the phone gets heated up on charging. Now I use 1 amp samsung charger. It works fine and no problems. Battery backup is greater than ever and the phone does not heat up on charging. Try it.
For anyone in India still facing the problem, now I use a Jio-Fi router charger. 5 V and 1A. High quality product. Phone battery has no problem. Just like old times. Model ZE550KL (Z00L).

In the end of the graph after a blank(Switched off) and little charging time, I removed the charger and tried draining the battery, it went down from around 50% to 15-20% and came back again to 50% without any charging, it kept on happening for 3 to 5 times straight and i got sleepy in the end, then reset dalvik and cache, and it was normal again.
had a pretty fun time considering it's a 2 years old battery.

Battery performance of Moto G5s plus

Hi,
I want to understand battery performance of Moto G5s plus. I am seeing that battery life of my phone is very poor. It goes down to 70% from 100% in an hour with just usage of YouTube.
When i received my cell phone i haven't full charge it's battery before starting it. I have full charged my battery when it was 40% remaining. While the official manual says that, we need to full charge it before starting our cell phone.
Does Moto G5s plus need full charge of battery before start (when we are starting our phone just after unboxing)?
Anyone have similar issue?
How's battery life holding for others?
Thanks,
Abhishek

My phone's battery drained 12% for three and a half hour screen use (browsing, messenger etc. and Mortal Kombat - only 20 mins, though). The screen is almost at the least brightness.
I too faced q similar issue as yours. Turned out it was because of some app Battery HD or DNS something app (used to block ads) or maybe some other third-party app. I uninstalled all those and the performance improved significantly.
Give it a try.

Did you full charge your phone before you switch it ON for the first time?
I would check for a rogue app draining the battery. I've had the phone for a week now and the shortest SOT I've had was 3hrs. That was with streaming music through Bluetooth while driving for 13hrs. My average ok normal day has been 5hrs with 35 percent left on battery.
No issues with battery life here. I didn't fully charge my device when I first unboxed it. Matter of fact, I didn't charge it until that night.
I've had this device since Saturday, so it's hard to say exactly how well battery life is exactly, but based on what I've seen so far...it's pretty damn good. I took it off the charger 5 hours ago and it currently says I have 2 days left. I haven't used it much today as I'm at work, but I have a feeling something isn't right with your setup [emoji848]
Being nobody else has posted any screenshots, figured I'd show mine [emoji6]

No. Instead, I used it until the battery discharged to 0. Then I charged it to 100 and used it till the battery drained to 0. Did the same like thrice. I really doubt such a thing had any effect on battery, though.

Did you try holding it in your left hand, hopping on your right foot, waving it around and around your head, shouting "go battery go go charge"? I reckon it's got as much chance of making a difference as anything else. It's a lithium ion battery - just charge it when you think that you're going to need it to last longer than it would if you didn't charge it, and make sure you fully charge it if you intend leaving it unused for months. Anything else is cargo cult nonsense.

Haha! I only replied to what the OP asked. BTW my intention to drain the battery to 0 before charging was to measure the time it takes to get fully charged from 0.

Yes, you are right. Old batteries needed to full charge before switching it ON for the first. What i find surprising is that Moto is saying the same for new generation batteries and printing it in Manual.
I finally got a fresh new g5s plus and so far I can't complain about the battery life. On my second charge I got 2 days of battery with 8 and a half hour of screen on, but only a few calls, and almost always wifi. The next days I'm using the phone lot heavier with lot of GPS and calls, so we'll see then how it's going but so far I'm very satisfied.
By the way I haven't fully charged the phone out of the box but I've waited untill it was almost fischarged

Low Battery Capacity - 3700 mAH against 4000 specified for k20 pro

I have done rigorous testing with accu battery and found that battery capacity is around 3700 mAH against 4000 mAH specified.
I am using phone from last 6 days. 13 charge sessions, total 463% charged for 17177 mAH.

I have done rigorous testing with accu battery and found that battery capacity is around 3700 mAH against 4000 mAH specified.
I am using phone from last 6 days. 13 charge sessions, total 463% charged for 17177 mAH.
Refer attached screenshot.
Would request other k20 pro users to test and post there results.

Exactly the same here. Looks like it is indeed a 3700mAh battery
Mine shows up about the same. I think it's just a reading error with accubattery.
No it's 4,000mAh

4000 mAH visible in screenshot is rated capacity
Install accubattery from Google play store to get real / actual capacity. This will also help you to optimise the battery.

Maib try charging overnight with 5v 1amp charger
(Ofc draining battery to 0%
And power on until it discharges completely - until it won't power on )
Then charge overnight with slow charger
Then check with accubattery and let me know results xD

In my opinion if the phone is new there is no need of procedure what you are asking to do. That is for calibration purpose. I had few brand new phones in the past and each devices shown 100% sometimes even 100+% so i think there is something wrong with the software or hardware which doesn't let it show accurate health estimation. Still curious what others accubattery health is showing.
No improvement in battery capacity after 10 day. It's still around 3700 mAH.
This is because you don't leave it to charge long enough. Leave it for few hours and see that will go way up from 3700 Mine does.
AccuBattery algorithm is not optimised for fast changing. Check with a usb pd tester for accurate readings.
Same here:crying:

@akki_007 that's what I am talking
Stop misleading people. Charge your phone properly to full before jumping to conclusions.
Wow, you are lucky, but you have completed just 0.6 cycle. Request to post results after few days. Mine is constant between 3715-3730 after 12 days / 22 sessions. Tried all the suggestions in the thread and used 3c app also. No improvement. There are atleast 4 persons in the thread reporting the same. I am eager to see what you get after few more charges.

That screenshot was from 1 charging session two days ago. The lack of a recent screenshot tells me you are back down to 3700 like the rest of us.
Well, you are wrong.
