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
I 've lost my original charge.so I have to use an Ipod charger to instead it.
But the phone seems very hot every time charging. What shoud I do now?
In additional, the battery drained so much. It took 4 minutes to lose 1% battery.I 'be bought the phone for 6 months,so why does it drain battery so bad?
Please help me and forgive for my bad in English.
2 options:
1) Your battery is fried.
2) Something is running on your phone that causes it to drain battery (forgot GPS app running in the background or something?), which is also the reason for heating up.
How can I know that my battery was fried? Example like how many mAh are there in my Batt?
I was looking for BatteryDetective (like in my friend 's iPhone 3GS) but it is no avalible for my device.
Also,how to check what was running in background? GPS is alway turns off when charging,certainly
I turned off the phone and charged.and it was still hot,but not much as when the phone turn on
In general, using a different charger won't damage your phone. Apple chargers are often capable of supplying more current than other chargers (for example, 2100mA rather than 1000mA), but the phone will only draw as much current as it needs. As long as the charger is supplying proper, in-spec voltage, you shouldn't see any difference. Your phone is probably getting hotter because it can draw more power from the iPod charger than your old charger, and can now charge the battery faster. I wouldn't worry about it unless the heat is causing problems. Cheap, off-brand chargers sometimes don't supply proper 5V, so don't buy crappy chargers.
Your battery discharge rate is a separate problem. You can check what's been using battery power in Settings|About Phone|Battery use. In my world, Display, Wi-Fi, Cell Standby, and Phone Idle are usually the top items. Checking the wear level of a regulated LiOn battery is kind of annoying; they're cheap enough I just replace them every year or so (500 cycles is a pretty good lifetime).
Thank you very much !
Are there any app like BatteryDetective for android? I 'd like to know how many mAh of my battery
It's seems that when I'm trying to charge my phone with my original charger or another wall charger, the battery doesn't getting charge above random number, the original battery was charged firstly to 70% and than to maximum 55%, I used a solar charger that maybe have output voltage which is higher or that giving more current (which I don't think it is).
I replaced my battery on aother one and now it's seems that I can charge it for more and stuff, but still the original charger can't, and when I'm charging through my PC or a portable charger, it's charging to the maximum.
My micro usb socket in the device is unstable and moving, there is maybe a connection between?
or maybe the chip who responsible to charging got ruined?
edit 22:13:
after more tests I feel the source of the problem is low voltage on the battery, which telling me that the problem is on the connector.
I changed cables, changed chargers, and checked every time the voltage on the battery that the device is sampling.
Try wiping battery stats and if it doesn't work go to your local electronic store and ask them to send your phone to mainentance and replace the connector
I tried wipe, and I bought already a connector and I will replaced by my self.

Sometimes on my phone if i charging to 70% say to me it's full charged, but it's still charging to 100%.
When it comes to 70% or 55% or 60% and the phone says its full, you must load and not unplug charger.
Sorry because my bad English.

I am using the Anymode wireless battery charger for the last few days and I love it, especially because it trickle charges the battery once its near full on my Note 2 (N7102 on SVA ROM v2.3), thereby increasing (hopefully) the battery life. I got this charger on my last visit to Korea and it has made charging a lot easier and fun.
I also use the wireless battery indicator available from the play store. However, during charging android does not update the battery charge, apparently because, it (android 4.1.2) does not recognize that the battery is being charged wirelessly. If, however, I reboot my phone, it get the correct charge updated by android. While, not on charging mode, the battery drain seems to be monitored well.
I am looking for an app/mod/tasker-profile which will force android to check the battery status, say every min, while its being charged wirelessly and simultaneously update the info. Is there something existing already which I can use?

The reason I think, that the phone doesn't recognise that the phone/battery is charging, is that the battery itself is being charged by the wireless battery charger as seen here http://img.danawa.com/images/descFiles/3/346/2345685_1_1365195972.jpg, It seems that the battery itself houses the wireless charging component and thus received the charge directly, skipping the phone. Hence why the phone doesn't recognise the battery being charged.
The normal scenario with say the Qi wireless chargers, is that there is a receiver component that connects with the Note 2's wireless charging contact pins, with which the phone uses to identify the charge before directing that charge to the battery, in which case the phone then recognises that its being charged and can monitor it.
As to what apps can provide constant battery charge status, sorry I don't know of any, Hopefully others have.

Yupp..N7102 (Galaxy Note 2 - dual sim (full active)) does not have wireless charging pins inside. hence I went for the Anymode solution. Waiting for details on apps/mods to force a battery charge check.
Limiting the battery charge to a fraction (70%-80%) of it's full capacity is a well known way to greatly extend the battery's charge capacity lifetime. There are several (root) apps created to automate this, that stop the phone from charging once a selected charge level is reached. Battery Charge Limit is one (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/root-battery-charge-limit-t3557002), ACCA is another (https://github.com/MatteCarra/AccA/). So far I have not been successful getting either of those to work with the ROG2. I was wondering if anybody has had any success with those apps or any other way to limit the battery charge on the ROG2?
The Rog phone 2 has its own function that lets you automatically stop charging.
But keep in mind this function is only useful if you are planing to keep the phone connected to a charger 24/7 then it's useful. Otherwise it's worthless if you disconnect your phone once it's 100% charged.
Battery also needs to discharge and recharge to keep it's capacity and function going. If you don't do this it can wear the battery out even if you stop charging at 70-80%.

Most of what you said is wrong.
The ASUS Power Master Battery Care feature slows and delays the charging but still charges to 100%. The feature is only useful if you have a regular charge schedule (which I don't, and DO mostly leave the phone on the charger) and even then, it's still charging to 100%. Repeatably charging a LiPo battery to 100% WILL decrease it's capacity significantly faster than if only partially charged. All phones already slow charging at high charge levels. There is no advantage to discharging the battery.

If you can reference any authority to support your position, I'd love to see it.

Did you ever know that even authority can be wrong in facts as well? I can confirm that battery feels alot better with discharge and charge than what it is with 100% all time or 70-80%.
How I can confirm is that I have a Microsoft surface Pro 4 and when I kept it on charger at 100% for a day or two the wear level jumped from 0% to 3% but when I discharged it and recharged it after some time then tear level on battery went back to 0% and capacity was back to its full capacity again. So discharge and recharge does not always wear the battery out. It actually makes battery feel better too.
So please don't always believe what internet and what authority States. Since on internet there is alot of false facts and authority gives alot of nonsense facts alot of times too.
Is it really wise to basically degrade your battery by 20% out of the box just so you can have 95% in 2 years? If anything, heat is the greatest factor for degradation. If you're that worried, just use a 2 Amp charger.

Wise? Absolutely. Is it the perfect solution for everyone? No

Yes, heat is a factor, but keeping the battery at 100% will degrade the battery faster regardless. If you simply do not need the additional 20% than there is no advantage to charging to 100%. My usage scenario is that the phone is plugged in a lot of the time and I very rarely need the full battery capacity. I've had several phone batteries bloat up under this scenario (and not using any fast charging).
When batteries degrade they don't stop at 80%. They generally keep degrading fairly rapidly. And you don't just lose capacity, as the battery degrades the internal resistance increases, which results in throttling and/or crashing.
BTW on some phones, ACCA will stop charging the battery when it reaches the desired charge level and run the phone entirely from external power.

Agreed. If manufacturers still offered replaceable batteries in their flagships, this would be somewhat of a moot point. When dealing with a sealed battery that is expensive and time consuming to replace, it's wise to do everything reasonable to protect the overall lifespan of it.
As for keeping it charged at 100%, I did that once and killed a battery in about 6 months. Not doing that one again.
Guys, it's so nice you are debating over the battery charging metaphysics but it does not help us solve the issue: our rooted phone can not be charged in a smart way using magisk+acc, ACCA or Battery Charge Limit.
Any ideas?
I'm facing issue with my Rog 2, my phone is not charging fast
1. I'm using 18w charger come with the phone to charge
2. I have used Xiaomi 2i power bank with 18w output to charge my phone (still not working)
3. I restart the phone on charging it goes down 36% to 29%
4. On charging when i restart the phone it goes 8% to 13%
5. I'm facing this problem from the yesterday
6. Double plus sign on battery icon as well as fast charging text on home screen is also not showing while charging
What is the issue please help anyone
Submit a bug report to acca and maybe at least someone starts caring for the ROG Phone. The reason why it doesnt work is simply because ASUS does its own stupid thing while charging (thats what happens when 100 OEMs cook their own soup, a mess).
About the battery health:
A battery keeps its best health when its charged between 25-75%, is kept below 30°C and charged as slow as possible. Thats why its wise to stop charging at 80% with a slow charger, especially when you have a big battery anyway that lasts for a day with 80% charge.

Change the cable and try also try with different fast charging adapters or fast charging powerbank(mi power bank)
My problem solve by changing the cable

There is no programmatic way to internally control the charging process without root, however there are some (not as good) alternatives.
First there is an app Accubattery that will give you a notification when the battery reaches a given level, you have to then disconnect the charger manually.
A second way to do this would be to use a smart plug and control it with Tasker. Don't know if anyone has done this but it should be possible.
Another possibility that is not vailable yet would be a kickstarter project called BatteryPal. This is a charging cable that had a bluetooth interface built in to it that would control charging using an app on the phone.They arr saying it will be available March 2020, but who knows.
I'm facing the same situation here. I'm next to a charger most of the time, so I like to use slow charging and not going above 80%. I was used to have battery charge limit installed in all my devices, but found this is not working with the rog phone.
My rog Phone 2 global edition over heats while charging
has anyone found a way even with root? I've tried ACC and some other app but they all done work.
I've also just tried ACC and Battery Charge Limit, but neither worked. It looks like there is something that keeps overwriting the charge control file all the time and allows the battery to charge anyway. Battery Care was disabled while doing this.
I am rooted, so I am able to test any potential solution.
Someone posted on r/rogphone2 a solution for this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ROGphone2/comments/ev0put/hows_this_it_never_reaches_100/
I've just tested it and it works for me.
Does anyone know of a legit charging adapter that isnt fastcharge and doesnt damage the phone or gets damaged itself after a while? I want to charge my phone without fastcharge but cant find a good charger
My old htc m8 charger got damaged after just a few times of using! Seems like the phone drained it dry
