How long does it take to fully charge your Z1

as the title says,
How long does it take to fully charge your Z1 from 0%?
mine takes 2.5 - 3 hours, I do think that this is quite a lot although it is faster than my old xperia S which took ~2 hours with almost half the battery size. But I was expecting more improvement from the promised 70% with quick charge 2.0. This is around ~40% improvement, or am I missing something?

From 5% left charge to full. Three hours

I don't think Quick Charge 2.0 adapters are out till early 2014. Even if they are, the one that came with my Z1 doesn't support it. Only Quick Charge 1. You can tell because the output is listed on the adapter (mine is 1500 mA).
Quick Charge 1 works on .7 to 2.5 A. Quick Charge 2 is 4+ A. (Standard USB 2.0 port will provide 500 mA while USB 3.0 will provide 900 mA).
So my 1.5 Amp Z1 charger isn't even at the top end of Quick Charge 1. With that said, I haven't tested a full charge. But if plugged into a USB 2.0 port, it barely charges while phone is on (few percent an hour maybe).

what you said does really make sense because quick charge 1.0 promise ~40% faster charge which I reported in my first post (+1 for that). Now is there any way to check whether the Z1 support quick charge 2.0? I know the chip S800 does, but what about the battery software or other internals (I am not really expert in this area). if it does then when new adapters are released with output more than 1500mA we will get faster charge time. I have my nexus 7 charger which says 2000mA, would this make difference and would it hurt the Z1 battery if I used it?
One last thing, if the output is 3000mA does that mean half the charging time? or there are other things to take into account?

All Snapdragon 800 chips have the QC2.0 circuit so we're good. Just have to wait for chargers.
I'm not an electrical engineer (studied mechanical) so I can't comment on things like losses within the charging process and all that technical stuff. However you have the concept right and in general that should be true. 3A charging a phone should charge it twice as fast as 1.5A

I've just made one test from 6% to 100% it take more than 2 hours i don't know if it was with qcharge 2 i've used the dk31 with a old AC to usb.
Other charge are made from 30-40% to 100%.

Mine takes an average of 2/3 hours to charge from 5% to 100%, I do however only use 1 Amp charges which are old phone chargers. I think I shall get my Note 2 plug out which is a 2 Amp charger and see how that gets on, I totally forgot I had it and I kinda annoyed me with its hissing noise...Even though I found out later it's normal!

The iPhone 5 has a battery half the size of this... I personally take about 2 -3 hours to fully charge the phone using the Sony provided charger!

Started Charging at 1:06 am - Battery was fully discharged.
1:23am Put Phone on - Battery at 11%
2:31am Put screen on - Battery at 52%
3:06am : Put screen on - battery at 73%
4:19am Put screen on - battery at 99%
4:26am Put screen on - Battery fully Charged .

I think the problem with the provided charger where the output is only 1500mA. the SGS4 with sd600 (does not support quick charge 2.0) comes with charger with output 2000mA which I tried with my Z1 and slightly improved the charging time. what we discussed earlier about early 2014 release of the quick charge 2.0 compatible chargers is the solution, I found couple of sources that confirm this. so we hope that better chargers to be released soon with 3000mA + ouput which would reduce the charging to to less than half.

it took 1 hour 40 min to go from 20% to 100%, I'm using the charging dock that came with the phone.

mine is taking too long: after 3h went from 20% to 50% with original wall charger
what could be wrong
how can I check?

Charging time will depend on the activities of your phone like running apps, wifi, gps, data - 2G/3G/4G, Screen brightness, etc.

Mine takes an AGE! Sometimes, while plugged in, I get a message that it's draining faster than its charging...
Why is this happening?
My first reaction is that it is a side effect of the larger batteries, but many laptops have larger batteries and this doesn't seem to be an issue...

Ok it seems after a reboot charging time went back to normal with origila wall charger.
What about charging via usb? Is it a looooot slower? Like 20% in 2h

Charging time?

Is it just my device or does this thing charge super slow? I can't even get a full charge in a hour and a half and the battery is only 410mah.

Do you use original AC Adapter? I use another one now and I can get it charged in 45 minutes, which is ok to me.

bad battery
I have been having really bad battery on this yesterday left it a home with a full charge at 9.0am and today at 7.30am had 11% it had screen always off and it had not been touched thinking of send it a off to LG to be looked at

I would advise against doing this. You will shorten the battery life due to the extra heat produced. Always use a lower amp charger unless you are in a rush!

Can someone tell me how long the actual charging time exactly takes ?
I use the original charger that comes with the device and it takes about 3 to 4 hours to fully charge the watch.
I find that quite long as I read the comments here.
The first tames it takes only 1,5 hours to charge it but all the other times it goes real slow.
A factory reset didn't help to resolve this issue.
Thanks.

As far as i remember battery have a capacity 410mAh, original charger have power output 700mAh, so charging time should be about 40-45 minutes max.
Change usb cable, if it doesn't help change charger (but it should have power output >700mAh)
PS. AFAIK using charger with power output >700mAh is harmless because watch limits charging current by itself.
Measuring charging time is best indicator.

Charging with 2.0A adapter will not increase the charging speed - the watchregulates the charging current, it will not just blindy "connect" the charger to the battery (in fact, I can't think of any piece of electronics that would have the charging logic in the adapter nowadays).
I had no problems with any chargers, not even with USB charging - the battery is very small, so unless you have a charger that can't put even 500mA you should have no problem.
I've seen an issue where the watch was "charging" constantly and ended with 85% and wouldn't charge anymore - reboot fixed that and it showed 100%.

I was thinking that your charge takes so long because you could have some process draining your battery in the meanwhile (that starts when you connect your phone, like a tasker thing or smt). Newbie thoughts so correct me if this is impossible

I could try to do a factory reset and see after that if it charges much faster then now.
For the moment i have a few apps on the watch, i do not know if it matters or not for to influence the charging time.
It's weird that we do not have the ability to load the watch while it is off.
From the moment that i put it on the charger it turns on automatically !

hello my friends.
the charging dock is limited to 0.85 A (850mA)
It makes not more sense to use a Adapter with 2.0 A Output. It won't charge faster.
Look if every pin on your dock is ok.
also the connection pin on your watch.
Try to clean a little bit with high percentage alcohol.
best regards

Problem solved by using another USB cable.
Now fully charged in 1,5 till 2 hours.

I haven't measured the charging time of my watch but it looks to me pretty fast. I guess with original charger 30 mins - 45 max, not a min more.

Don't sweat the amps

Hi,
that statement isn't particularly correct. The charging system in the watch (as with any LiIon battery) will draw as much current as is "good for it" and no more.
Just because a charger offers 2A doesn't mean that this is the amount of current flowing through the charger / battery!

your z3c charging speed?

Hi there, I just wanted to try something...
I see that my Z3C charges very slow with the original UK charger. It charges 800mah every sec9nd. So I tried with the iPad charger and it is still the same.. maybe abit lower, at 600mah. what is going on? it takes almost 3-3.5 ahours to charge this phone... seriouslly? Sometimes I forget to charge it overnight and chargin it at day is like charging though a USB port...

Maths.
2600 mAh battery.
800 mA charger.
2600/800 = 3.25 or 3 hours and 15 minutes.
Today, I don't think this phone can accept anything like 2A charger (don't really know) . Else, it would take 1.3h or 1 hour and 18 minutes.
Get a 2A charger, disconnect every electrical equipment and charge your phone.

But this is strange....If the stock charger says it gives 1.5A, then why is it charging so much slower? at 600 or 800 mah? thats like USB pc speed... Isnt this device supported for quick charge 2.0? I may be able to buy a quick charge capable charger so it charges faster? any solution?

Yes Quickcharging will improve charging time. But as stated above it also depends if you use your phone in the meantime and its idel consumption. The fastest charging time will be if you turn of your phone and then start charging.

I'm getting over 1600mA (according to cooltool), phone charges in 1.5 hours... Factory 1500mA charger, its the same with regular usb and magnetic connector. Rooted 4.4.4

WOW, 1.5 hours, thats just impossible for me. I wonder what is going on... I will check on cooltool

Turn off and charge your phone, and check how fast its charging, mine takes about 1.45hrs with 1.5A factory charger.

Guys I bought a supposed quick charger for my Sony Z3C. When it arrived i read the specs on it and they were 5V 2A. Is it safe to use with my Z3C? If so will it actually make charging quicker?
cheers

It sure is safe (and quick), charge on

so is the stock charger charging at what? it says 1.5A; 800 or as stated 1.5?

Does the note 8 charge real slow when using ??

I know it's supposed to but damn **** is slow!! When using phone I'll sit all day charging the damn thing . It takes a good 2 to 3 hours charging when screen is on. Plane ridiculous! Anyone know of anything to make this better? Will a high amp charger charge it faster? Sick of this I can't charge it for 30 minute while using it before I have to leave , only it being charged 10% in the time being
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

"When using ??"
What do you mean by ??
Ideally to charge the note 8 fastest you'd either want to use a qualcomm quickcharge 3.0 compatible charger or a USB type C charger with Power delivery (USB-PD), along with a decent cable such as the one included. The Note 8 will say Fast Charging on the lock screen if it's being used with an optimal or near optimal charger/cable combination.

It doesn't fast charge while the screen is on, it barely charges at all.
The output is not far off what the input is when you are using the phone and fast charging.
(Price you pay for a big screen)
If you were using a regular charger and using the phone your phone wouldn't be charging at all it would still discharge.
Simple solution just don't use your phone for half hour !
Charges to full in 1 hour and a half without the screen on
Or charge it overnight? That's what I do and it easily lasts until the next night

I have several samsung fast chargers, but only some of them would work on fast charge.
I realised it was a problem with the cable, so I swapped them to the original Samsung cable and all the fast chargers work on fast charge now.
So check the cables ....

Of course!

i prefer the 18 w fast charged since it wont degrade the battery as fast as 30 w fast charger. of course a 6000 mah is more difficult to degrade, but the life span will be better with 18w charger
the tencent edition 8/128 is a best buy.. not worth the global 12/512gb . only it has little more bands, all glass body, some new accessory and fast charged. reccomended only for people that use more than 128gb.
128gb is more than enough for me and an almost 1000$ 512gb global model is not giustified!

Proper fast charging shouldn't degrade a battery any faster than normal charging, as long as it doesn't cause the battery to heat up more than normal or charge to a higher finished voltage than normal. What degrades a battery is charging it to 100% all the time, because that last 5 to 10 percent of the charge is up in the 4.15 to 4.2+ volts per cell, which causes the damage that we see as degradation. If you limited the charge to 80%, or even 90% you'd get a MUCH slower degradation of the battery.

And what's nice about the phone is that it gives you a way to mitigate this right from settings. Go to Settings, Battery, PowerMaster, Battery Care. Here you can set times for dynamic charging between hours X and Y to get to 100% instead of as fast as you can. Mine is set 10 pm to 7 am for now.

Any 30W third party compatible?

Using the original supplied battery and cable takes around 4 hours or more, any suggestion???

It takes 4 hours with the phone off or on. If it's on make sure that scheduled charging isn't activated during the period you try to charge the phone.
If non of what I suggested is useful, it's better you take your device to ASUS service center.

There is a problem with your device battery mate either this or your charger is the issue. From 50% to 100% it shouldn't take more than 1 hour and that's with the default charger that comes with the device itself 18W. Try to charge the device with another charger and compare. Otherwise I advice you to taking it to the service center.

Thank you for your advice, I will try charging using my Sony Xperia 1 charger & see if it makes any difference.
Otherwise the battery holds charge very well. I will update you shortly as I've only had the device for 3 days...

I will also order this and see if it helps:
JuicEBitz® 25W 3 Port USB FAST QC3.0 Mains Charger Adapter +
It should provide me with the fastest supported charge. I'll order it next week & once tested I will report back.
---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------
I already have an update and know what the problem is.
Around 30 minutes back, I had 60% battery. Just now I unplugged it and it was 96%
I used original Sony Xperia 1 18w charger and cable. This means that there is an issue with the supplied Asus charger, it is charging very slowly. The 18W Sony charger is charging much faster than the 30W Asus...

Anyway to charge only to 80% in software? With a 6000 mAh battery, I don't really need to charge to full if I can increase longevity of the battery life.
