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 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...

How long does your Xperia Z takes to full charge the battery, from 1% to 100%?
Mine takes 2 hours, when turned off.
My last phone was an Xperia Arc. The charger was 750mA and the battery was only 1500mAh, The Xperia Z is 2350mAh and the charger is twice as powerful, 1500mA, a major advance.
I read something about the new fast charging technology when the Xperia S was launched, I think it was promissing to charge 80% in 30 minutes.
I must not have been paying enough attention, but I had understood that the Xperia Z had improved from what I think the Xperia S could do and it would charge the battery completely in 30 minutes.
There's an sticker on the back of my Xperia Z that shows the phone charging and it's written 30 minutes beside it. This should have increased my misunderstanding, as reinforced my idea that the phone could charge completely the battery in just 30 minutes.
However, I've been reading the user guide which recommends charge the phone for 30 minutes before first use. I think the sticker refers to this alert...
Charging a 2350 mAh battery in 30 minutes really seemed too amazing to be true!

I have found the charge time to be alot longer than my previous s2 and s3, It seems to be nearly 2 hours. That said, with stamina mode enabled, I am getting the kind of battery life that I could only dream of on my s3 with a really aggressive juice defender profile.

Charge Time
After a month, using the genuine 1,5A Sony charger, my Xperia z still takes 2 hours for a full charge when turned off, 25% in 30 minutes. If on, but on standby (when sleeping), it takes 30 minutes to charge 20%. I tested a genuine Samsung Galaxy S3 charger and it charges 22% in 30 minutes, a surprise for me, considering it's rated output power, 1A, less than the 1,5A Sony charger. I also have an Anker external battery that provided me the fastest charge time. In 30 minutes it charges 32%. The output power is 3A, but it comes with 2 usb ports to charge phones, I don't know if the 3A are available for only one USB port when only one is in used, or if it's always splitted 1,5A per USB port. I have juice plotter, so I can check the charge time easily later. The tests were all made on standby mode, display off, and the same apps and sync configurations. I really hoped the original charger from Sony was faster.
Same issue here. 1.5A seems to charge much slower than my HD2 1A charger. Something is definitely wrong...

Change your charger
Actually its not the Phone's issue but the Chargers'
I am using my Lumia's charger and phone gets charged in a hour from 0-100%
I will have an answer for this in a few days.
Theoritically it should take 225mins to charger from 0-100% with stock charger..
Anyone knows maximum charging rate?
Just did a full charge (0-100%) without the OS running. Took 2 hours. I'm using Anker Power IQ 40W 5-port desktop charger and Moto's USB cable.
Remember, quality of the cable (as well as the charger) directly affects charge time. So try to use official or high quality cable and charger

Yep,
Use a 2 Amp charger and you will get full charge in 1.5 hours.
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.

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!
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...

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.

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.

so is the stock charger charging at what? it says 1.5A; 800 or as stated 1.5?
To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the LG V20 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I use Ampere to see the rate I am getting. First plug in might only be 90 mah. I unplug, replug, it jumps up to 350. A couple more times and I end up at 900-1200. Screen off and let it fast charge.
I recently tried out the HTC Bolt for a couple weeks and it seemed to charge much faster than my V20. Shouldn't it be the other way around since the Bolt uses quick charging 2.0 while the V20 uses Quick charging 3.0?
Slowest charging phone i ever owned but i still love it lol
My H910 charges relatively quickly. Just plugged it into a quickcharge 2.0, not 3.0 car charger and it went from 16% to 50% in ~25 minutes.
I regularly get rates of 1.8A or greater using a CHOETECH or Anker charger. One its above 80%, it drops down, but this is normal.
The Anker is QC3.0 and the CHOETECH are QC2.0

I have absolutely no complaints with the charging speed. Also, I rarely drop below 40%.
My battery takes forever to charge up!
I just bought a VS995 Verizon Unlocked off the net. Was classified as "almost new - open box", hope I did NOT get a unit with problems. Re-charged it now a total of 5 times and on average (plus or minus 3-5 minutes) it takes approx. 3 hours and 18 minutes. for a full charge 0% to 100% . A few thoughts and questions came to mind while reading all your excellent posts:
1.) I believe he must of lost his quick charger because the one he gave me seems like he bought it off the net. Standard USB charger. So probably not using the quick charge function feature of this phone correct?
2.) Can I goto an electronics store and just copy whatever voltage and amps I need to perform a quick charge? Can someone please POST what the voltages and amps needed for a quick charge 3.0 please.
3.) Anyone have a bad battery or have one go bad after using the wrong charging devices? I was thinking of ordering a new battery BUT they are a little pricey. Anyone know some good outlets to buy them at a fair price?
4.) Does rooting the device and putting one of the ROM's on their cell solve anyone's battery problem? If so which ROM do you recommend?
Overall that is my only gripe about the phone. I love the DAC and for all you music lovers out there try Sirius XM on the LG-V20 and make sure to use Hi-Fi made headphones. I bought myself Bowers and Wilkens P7's, sort of pricey but worth it to me. The other thing is Napster as well the songs you download sound awesome with this DAC. For both of these APPS make sure you go into settings and adjust the quality of the downloads and streaming. Otherwise you could be listening to it with poor quality settings from the get go.
Ok well I appreciate any help or advice on my battery situation!
Thanks in advance to anyone helping me out.

Re-charged it now a total of 5 times and on average (plus or minus 3-5 minutes) it takes approx. 3 hours and 18 minutes. for a full charge 0% to 100% . A few thoughts and questions came to mind while reading all your excellent posts:
1.) I believe he must of lost his quick charger because the one he gave me seems like he bought it off the net. Standard USB charger. So probably not using the quick charge function feature of this phone correct?
2.) Can I goto an electronics store and just copy whatever voltage and amps I need to perform a quick charge? Can someone please POST what the voltages and amps needed for a quick charge 3.0 please.
3.) Anyone have a bad battery or have one go bad after using the wrong charging devices? I was thinking of ordering a new battery BUT they are a little pricey. Anyone know some good outlets to buy them at a fair price?
4.) Does rooting the device and putting one of the ROM's on their cell solve anyone's battery problem? If so which ROM do you recommend?
Overall that is my only gripe about the phone. I love the DAC and for all you music lovers out there try Sirius XM on the LG-V20 and make sure to use Hi-Fi made headphones. I bought myself Bowers and Wilkens P7's, sort of pricey but worth it to me. The other thing is Napster as well the songs you download sound awesome with this DAC. For both of these APPS make sure you go into settings and adjust the quality of the downloads and streaming. Otherwise you could be listening to it with poor quality settings from the get go.
Ok well I appreciate any help or advice on my battery situation!
Thanks in advance to anyone helping me out.

Any charger that says Quick Charge 3.0 would work. I think even QC 2.0 would charge at the same speed, but just less energy efficient.
The difference between qc 2 and 3 is 3 has a variable voltage allowing it to use energy more efficiently.
Excess energy is lost as heat on qc2, the power is reduced in qc3 when the battery starts to get full.
The charge time is the same.
Specs for QC 2 is 5V / 9V/ 12V, specs for QC 3 is
3.2v - 20v dynamic
