To all those who own htc m7 device,
We are all aware of the very slow charging speed on this device, whether you are rooted or not it still makes no difference to the charging speed.
It takes round about 3 hours for a full charge from 0-100% when YOU ARE NOT USING THE PHONE, and if you use it while its charging it will go up to 5,6,8 and eventually 10 hours. The fastest charge I have had is when you put the phone in airplane mode and extreme power saving mode together. Having it on Power saver mode also boosts the charging speed considerably.
For this problem I bought qualcomm rapid charger 2.0 but it made no difference since the phone did not have this technology to support it. Now i am considering the 7.5W fast charger tc p900 with 1.5amps as I heard that one is more compatible with the One M7 but I am not sure if that is true?
Please post your reviews, experiences and suggestions if the 1.5A edition charger is faster and better for this device, if this charger is faster then how fast compared to the stock charger will it charge the battery going from 0-100%? And will this charger still affect the charging speed if you use the device simultaneously?

Hello,
I use the stock charger (5V, 1A) to charge the battery. Is there any faster charger with more current on the market to charge the extended battery faster?
It also has to work with Android custom ROMs.
I think is useless because the circuit of recharge is into the phone and limited to 1A and lipo battery recharge very slowly for maximize the life of battery.
Would agree with poster above that actual phone charge circuit will limit charge current to safe level & not much if anything should be done to change it.
If you are unable to charge overnight & need fast charge times you would be better going to 2 standard sized batteries which charge quick or can charge externally ...
Problem too is Android has worse battery consumption than a good custom WM6.5.3 build.
I think this is impossible
The stock charger states it has 1500mA, but my phone doesnt load faster with it then with a 750mA one from an old Samsung phone. 1% in 1:15 Minutes on both.
Also if i use the phone while charging the battery level drops again or charges slower. The stock charger with its 1500mA should have enough juice to compensate for that.
Then i have a 1000mA USB charger, with that the Z knows no limits, it takes more out than the charger can handle, 1% in 50 seconds (that means you can have your battery full in 1,4 hours instead of 3,2 hours). But it runs hot and shuts down.
Whats wrong with my stock charger?
re
It is possible that the battery (and the integrated charge chip) limits the maximum ammount of current to prevent overheating and too rapid charging of the battery. You have to know that Li Ion charging should be regulated by current, voltage and battery temperature and charging may even stop before full charge if the battery heats up too much - the case when U are using a high performance tasks, e.g. 3d gaming and charging in the same time. I have heard that some users even use weaker chargers (350-500mA), which means slow charge, but this way they extend the battery capacity and life.
Still the 1500mA charger should not be slower than the 1000mA one.
Also if i'm using the original 1500mA charger and turn the device on it still should charge the battery and not lose the charge.

I've done some heavy gaming and other heavy stuff while charging from pc via usb and battery was charging a bit slower but that a'll.

Hey guys, I just bought my One a couple weeks ago and I'm loving it so far. However, I'm having an issue with the USB charging speed.
I know USB charging speed is slower than wall charging speeds, but the speeds I have been getting are ridiculous. To charge my phone from 0-100 takes about 9 hours over USB when the phone is in sleep mode and not being used. Can anyone else tell me if they're getting the same kind of extremely slow USB charging speeds? Is this normal for the phone? I've been thinking about replacing it and seeing how the next one fares.
I'm charging in usb 3.0 port and takes 5h

I haven't timed it, but yes USB charging is very slow in general and especially on this phone. I've had several HTC Ones, and had the same experience.

Some Kernels have an option for fast charge which is supposed to help with it but certain usb ports only put out a certain amount of power. Also I know a problem with the OG note was with fast charge enabled a few charging ports burnt out (mine included). It was easy to replace them on that phone but this one will be more difficult if it does the same thing.
The problem is that the phone sees the difference between an AC charger and a usb charger. With an AC charger it can charge with a maximum around 850mA while with an USB charger it charges with an maximum of 500mA.
There properbly is a trick how to make the phone think it's on AC charger, while it's actually on an USB charger, and therefore charge with a higher current, but I haven't found out how yet.

Depends on the current battery level of the phone. Anything above 83%(somewhere around there), even on AC charger it will slow down to 500mAh at most.
Since I got my HTC One Black, I have always thought it was fairly fast to discharge and really slow to re-charge.
In a normal day my phone will go from 100% to about 30% over 15 hours, with pretty minimal use, 1 or 2 quick calls, 4 or 5 texts and that is about it - does that sound right for discharge battery speed?
As for recharge, well this morning at 10am it was on 29% so i plugged in the charger, 3 hours later (1pm) without the phone being used at all it is on 64%. At that rate it would take from about 10am until about 5/6pm to charge from 29% to 100%, 6 hours for a 2/3rds battery recharge seems like along time to me.
Do your HTC Ones take this long or do i maybe have a phone problem?
Thanks
Update at 3pm it is now at 79%.
download gsam-battery-monitor, use your htc one for one day and post a screenshot.. also check your wakelocks with wakelock-detector..
Keep in mind the One is picky about its chargers. If you're not using the official HTC charger and cable that came with the phone, there's a decent chance it's reducing the milliamperage reaching the battery. Presumably HTC wants to protect the battery from overcharging or unstable voltage from 3rd party chargers, since the battery is not replaceable. When I first got the One, I noticed it was charging slow with my old Galaxy S3 charger and high capacity iPad charger. Battery Monitor Widget confirmed what I was experiencing; I was getting 300-400 mAh out of my 1000 mAh and 2100 mAh non-HTC chargers. Once I plugged in the stock HTC charger, the amperage reaching the battery drastically increased. There are some 3rd party USB cables that can cause slow charging also.

It is the original charger.
are you on a stock rom or not?
some programs/apps/widgets you installed might do this
if nothing is working for you try factory re-setting your phone and use it without installing any new apps and monitor the battery consumption-charging behaviour

It is stock ROM 4.2.2 and there are very few extra apps etc.
I went through the apps list via settings and disabled loads of things, like facebook, twitter, playbooks, playmags etc. etc. I also have started using power saver with reduce screen brightness and save cpu power selected and the battery life now seems a lot better having only lost about 20% of power today rather than 70%.
Dont know if charging will be any faster though, will plug it in now and see how much charge it gets in 2 hours.
I've noticed the same issue with using other chargers. My question is, is there a car charger that would be able to properly charge it?

Don't hijack my thread, post your own question and don't change the subject matter of someone else's thread!!!
So I do understand that the Note 5 has fast charge and normally we should leave it enabled to enjoy the charging speed. But the thing is, when fast charging my phone heats up very fast and although it does charge fast, I feel like it could have a negative impact on the battery. So recently I tried turning the fast charge option off (in the battery settings). I expect it to charge normally like when you plug in a non-fast charge adapter, like the one from Note 4 for instance, but it's very very slow. Measuring via ampere it shows ~480 for a couple first minutes, then it drops to ~180 for the rest of the time, then the phone even shows a notification of charging slowly. And that's using the original fast charge adapter, even. Not sure what's happening here. Anyone has a similar experience?
Cables make a world difference when it comes to charging. Are you using the original cable as well ? If you use ampere , and try different cables , you will see that the same charger , outputs different values , depending on the cable. It is also normal for the mA to reduce as the battery gets closer to 100% So a lot of things affect the current at which it is charging.
