Charging takes too long? - T-Mobile Note 7 Questions & Answers

My Note 7 takes 1h 40min - 1h 50min to full charge?
So Is it just up to me, or everyone

Sounds like a ticking bomb. I would charge it with caution.

Are you using the official cable or a different one? Also when you go in the battery settings and advanced settings, do you have the fast wireless charging disabled or enabled?

I have it enabled.
So just tell me do you guys charge your note for that long, or no?

When I called T-Mobile yesterday they advised me to turn off fast charging because of the possibility of the battery getting hot and exploding. I have always be cautious since day one and turned off fast charging because my phone would get warm but charges pretty fast without fast charging enabled. Also when I'm at work, I only use wireless charging even if it takes longer. What I noticed is that sometimes when I use wireless charging with the case it gives me issues so I take it off.

3.5 Ah battery capacity, fast charge should be around 2 Amps, take into account slower charge rate towards end, I would say OP is just where he should be, if started charging from empty. I've seen my phone going over 2A, sometimes, but that's like extra bonus. Also we don't know what's running in background, that could be affecting charge rate also.

If it is similar to Note 4 then fast charging kicked in from 0 to 50% with charging current around 1.6A and 9V and from 51 to 100% regular 2A and 5V to let battery recover. There should be specs on sticker on phone charger.

Looks good but cost USD 27. But not sure how this one working. I am now using the portable charger for my note II LTE (using the charger previously on my S3). I wanted to know who has the experience of using this battery from this website, how is this battery and the battery cover feel??? Does it look stupid???
Why not just carry a spare battery. This makes the phone huge.
Always open the housing cover to change battery is too trouble. Also, no battery charger that can charge the battery alone, need to get the empty battery into my phone and charge it is annoying!!!

Yeah boi...I'm looking to get me an extended battery as well. Have always used them and let me tell you, it is sweet having 2-3 days of use without having to worry about a charger. This phone is big already so having an extended battery isn't going to change that issue too much. Besides, it'll help with not snapping phone in half like someone did for their S3...OUCH!!!

I didn't counted it. But my Note II is always on during office hour. Many calling in. Also will used to check email and play game or video when I am having meeting outside (Play it during the traveling of course, :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed, I think it is about at least 5.5 hours for my office hour and only consume 30-35% power which is really good.
Evening time, my phone is mainly using for text msg and gaming (but gaming at evening is not usual) and a little calls. Until bed time, the battery still got 40-45%. That make me feel safe for able to not stay attached with the wall plug. :cyclops::cyclops:

[Q] Is my battery life normal?

Hi,
I've had a Nexus 6 for some days now, and its battery life doesn't seem too good. I'm used to leave my phone overnight and wake up to it having over 90% battery left, but with the N6 it usually has a little over 80. Today it had 83%, and after browsing the web for some minutes (maybe 10 or 15) it's down to 75%... That's almost 1% a minute, which seems a lot to me.
If I take a look at the battery screen, I see this:

If I'm not mistaken, something seems to have kept the phone awake during the night. Is that right? I'm using M preview 2, could that be causing the problem? Is the phone defective? What could be wrong here?
Thanks in advance for your help.
PS. Battery life is at 71%... That's 4% down since I wrote that part above. This thing drains so fast it's scary.
It could be anything from the ROM itself to a Rouge app. I would flash back to bone stock and see what you get over a few days with a couple charge cycles. And then compare with another ROM.

Yes the andoird m preview 2 is not showing battery stats correctly. You will probably notice that once your phone goes down to 1% it could stay there for an hour or so. Just be sure to run the phone to complete 0%. Then charge to 100% and leave for about an hour after that. That should recalibrate it after a few cycles. It is a widespread "issue" with the m preview 2.

+1 to this. I use a lower voltage charger, not the turbo charger, and charge my N6 while I sleep. I have since day one with this beast. I've had it since November 20.

i use the turbo charger. but it doesnt matter. if you watch the voltage going in, it get drastically reduced above 92%, and again at like 97%. and when the device actually stops charging, its at 0% voltage going in. btw, most times it does not stop charging at 100%. that happens anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes after hitting 100%. thats because our battery % is slightly off.

Tronsmart USB rapid car charger, 2 port

This is my review of the Tronsmart USB rapid car charger. This is a Qualcomm 2.0 rapid charge charger with 2 ports. It comes with 2 USB cords as well in the box, which was a nice surprise. The Note 5 does recognize this as a "rapid charger".
I got the rapid charger to try out and compared it to an OEM Samsung USB charger. I found that the Tronsmart rapid charger charges at a rate of about 1% per minute. This is pretty good. If you take a 10 minute car ride, you will gain roughly 10% to 12% charge. This can be very useful to get a quick juice-up when needed. The Samsung charger charges at a slightly lower rate, about 7% charge gained over 10 minutes.
I should clarify that this testing was done with the phone around 70% to 80% charged already. I still plan on testing out the charge rate with a more drained battery (under 50%) and will report back as to how quickly it charges then.
The charger seems well built. It is nice and compact, and gives you not just the one rapid charge port, but 2. I highly recommend it. 10/10 here.

UPDATE: Just to let you all know how well the rapid charger works when the battery is low. In 15 minutes, my phone went from 19% to 41%. That is a 22% boost in just 15 minutes, which is about what a short drive around town would take for me. I am more than satisfied with that.

Nice charger, could you send the product link to me? Want to buy one. How about the quality of the cable?
I have the same charger and really like it. As someone who frequently travels with a couple Note 5's in the vehicle, this is a no-brainer. The USB cables are thick, 10/10 from me as well.

I have this charger as well and I confirm that both are rated QC 2.0.
Also, I can definately confirm that both USB cables are big-gauge (20 AWG!), high-quality cables.
I bought two of these off another review and they're great

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 ?

I have been using it for roughly 2 months and didn't notice any degradation in performance. I hope it doesn't blast one day.

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.

You can buy a charger in Amazon x)

Intentionally trickle charge?

It seems that I can't get Battery Care to trigger consistently at night even though I always go to bed somewhere between 11-1 and get up at 7 on weekdays or 9ish on weekends.
I realized though that I happen to have a pretty slow 500 mA USB port charger from back in the day. If I go to bed with the phone at 20% it would take over 4 hours to charge, meaning the phone spends less than half the night at 100%. Maybe this is the next best thing?

How fast does it charge? I have not seen any evidence of anyone being able to charge the X Compact any faster than about 1%/minute which is not super speed by any measure.
@cmstlist I'll try to check it out next time I charge. Feels pretty fast, but then again my previous phone was Z1c...
I usually get battery care where night time is the the first major charge of the day (sadly that's not always the case since I'm getting pretty disappointing battery life my Xc came with stock 7.0...).
I'm using the UCH-12 (supplied), have similar hours to you. When it turns on it reports a plan to be @100% 2hr~ before I wake up.
I was actually wondering is this feature any good (theoretically at least) or just voodoo?
Mine came with UCH 20 rather than 12. So far I'm never needing to charge it all day if I started at 100. Sometimes it's above 60 by bedtime so I don't start to charge it until morning.
Sent from my SM-T320 using Tapatalk
For what it's worth, here's a graph of how the UCH 20 charges it with Battery Care. Normal speed until 90%, flat until almost wake time, then up to 100.

32% -> 88% in 64min 1%/1.14min WITH screen-OFF usage (Music stream w/ WIFI+BT headset + WhatsApp web).
It started faster @ 1%/0.9min then I guess I used it more/slowed down on its own.
NO battery care triggered.
That's pretty good for me, being able to use the phone and still charge fast.
Yeah so it seems like the fastest it'll charge under any circumstances is slightly above 1%/min.

So the battery care only works with certain Sony chargers?
Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk
For what it's worth, Battery Care will trigger with any kind of charger, even a slow trickle. So even if in only charging at 1%/3mins, it'll still plateau at 90% for a while.
