Does anybody else get super SLOW performance when charging?

Whenver I'm charging via wall charger or USB my captivate is super duper SLOOOWWW. It takes forever to switch screens, the keyboard doesn't function correctly, and my bluetooth won't sync. As soon as I disconnect the charge everything is back to normal.
Any ideas?

No replies? Sooo...Am I the ONLY one?

be patient for answers here
Ive noticed it charges slowly but I have not noticed it being slow while charging.
The theoretical output of the charger is .7 amps, and thats not very much in the smartphone world these days. When I am using it and it is plugged in, it charges roughly a percent every eight minutes. The .7 amps must be just enough to cover the phone being on and in use.
I am currently looking around for chargers in the 1 amp range. My old tilt 2 charger works great for that and i definitely saw a charge time improvement. I would love to have one with a greater than 1amp output but I dont think you can find them anywhere

Are you running SetCPU with set profiles ?
If Yes : that is the problem , adjust profile.
If Not : must be something else, not a common behavior.

I read this on another forum but someone mentioned changing the default usb setting from Kies to something something else may help.

No, mine doesnt do that. It runs the same whether its plugged into the wall charger or not.

As long as the output is 5 volts, you're o.k.

My captivate runs the same while charging but the actual process of charging the phone takes forever it seems. I've only had it a couple days now and I have to get used to killing some tasks while charging because I actually think the battery life was decreasing as it charged.
Incidentally, the display is the real killer on the battery...most tasks don't really eat as much battery life in comparison.

Recent Nokia chargers will work with a slight mod to the plug where it fits the phone,

After Pimping out my phone it works fine while charging now. Yea screen eats up like 82% of batteries resources...OUCH!

Just search for Motorola P513 on Amazon. Rapid rate car charger! And, belive me, it's perfect fit! Now on sale for $5.85 (was $29.99).

I agree with the device charging slowly (but then again it doesn't help that I'm using it while it charges) but I have not had any performance issues.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S

for those of you who have a old iphone/ipod touch charger block, use that instead.
its rated for 5V/1A output, higher than the 5V/.7A output on the default samsung charging block.
that should charge the phone much faster

I have the same issue with charging, no matter what charger I use (iPhone, Tilt, USB), it's all VERY painfully slow. I've been as high as 1% per 6 minutes (rare - when using Nokia charger (1.2A I believe) to 1% per 13 minutes via USB.
I'm thinking it might be something internal to the actual phone. The iPhone didn't take this long even with USB charging through a computer or LCD monitor. Heck, the iPhone on average was 90 seconds per 1% of battery. I could have a nearly dead phone and be fully charged and ready in less than an hour and a half.
Anyone else think the same?

yea i think it might be something related to the phone indeed. this is, in my opinion, the biggest problem. i'm always on the go and i depend on my phone so much that if it doesn't charge fast enough i'm screwed.
let me make a post in the galaxy s forum and see if there's battery charging problems

Everyone else is charging.

which thread is that? I'm curious to track that one as well. I have gotten 4 other people to purchase the Captivate from the iPhone and we are all on the same boat..even with a 1.2A charger from my N97 (which only lasted 3 weeks with me...but can't wait for the N8), it takes about 4 hours to charge the battery...something's wrong there. It shouldn't take less to drain the battery than to charge it!

[Q]Cell antenna overheating

Hi everyone, this is my first post!
I'm having this issue since I bought this phone (used). When I put it to charge on AC, it starts to heat. The real trouble comes when I'm calling while charging. It overheats so much, and eventually reboots. I have a call plan which lets me talk 90 minutes paying only the first, and I often have to charge it while I'm talking, so this is a true problem for me.
I've been thinking about this for long time. First I thought that could be the screen, but I discarded that possibility. Since the mayor overheating occurs when I'm using call app, I thought it could be an antenna issue. However, I think it could be the charger plug too.
What do you think? Could you help me?
Thanks in advance, and so sorry for my crappy english...

This isn't antenna or charger. The heat comes from the SoC (the "main" phone chip) itself. Is the cellular reception bad where it overheats?

Phone's reception is ok when it overheats. The most heated zone is down the screen, around the trackball, plug charger... As I said, it only overheats when I'm charging it...

@JEMACHEHI . its normal to get heated while charging. but if it reboots regularly while charging n calling then there is some hardware issues. my n1 behaved in the same manner and it died 1 month back
PS - is your's a SLCD variant? ??

In first place, thanks for your interest, n1newbie, and sorry for my late reply. My n1 is not a SLCD variant but AMOLED variant. I was thinking about something. Maybe the plug charger is the problematic hardware. Everyone knows that phone heats more than normally when you're calling. So, if we combine the defective harware with the calling, we got the overheat and reboot issue.
What do you think about? Could I open up my N1 and try to replace the plug charger and see if it works?
Whatever, thank you so much again. Greets.

The plug doesn't heat up - it just can't, physically impossible - there's nothing to heat up. Either the charging circuit does, or the charging circuit is off and you get overcharging and the SoC ("CPU") is overheating. And it's also possible that your battery is overheating when charged and causing you the trouble. I'd suggest starting with battery.

Are you charging via mains socket i.e. fast charge? You could try a USB charge (slow charge) when you're talking on the phone, USB charger from PC or even via mains socket. This should help reduce the level of heat on the battery to some extent. Might be worth trying.
Also if you're rooted you could try setcpu and reduce your max CPU a little when on a charge e.g. 800MHz

@Jack_R1
I did it. I changed my battery some time ago cuz I thought this could be the problem. It's not. Battery reaches around 37 degrees when phone reboots. When not charging, It can take up to 43 or even more. About plug, I know it can't heat, but I've noticed that any male plug fits correctly into female plug, so I wandered if that could be the problem.
@cpm
If "fast charge" means "stand socket", nope, I don't charge that way. I said I do it via AC. As you said, if I charge via USB my phone will reduce the level of heat. However what I want is to fix that problem, and can charge my phone pluging in a wall plug. As Jack_R1 suggested, I'm starting to think that is the charging circuit the problematic...
In any case, thanks a lot guys, you rule. And sorry for my English again

Last night I was calling and charging through AC, and I did what you said. I underclocked to 806 MHz and it didn't rebooted. I did it before opening this thread, but I underclocked to 900 or something, and it rebooted. Thanks a lot man, your solution worked for me as a temporal solution.
However, I'm still concerned about that overheating issue. I think this could damage my phone , and I have no money for buying another one. Anyone have any permanent solution?

Permanent solution is to send it off to htc under warranty. First flash the stock rom. They can see the serial number, and then see if it is still under warranty. Email them the problem and serial number...

My phone is out of warranty, so that's not an option. I'll take the previous as a solution, then. Underclocking worked fine. Please someone, close thread or whatever.

Charging with dock station

I noticed that when I charge the phone in the dock station, the phone gets very hot. Is this normal ? anything I should do
to prevent it ? Running latest 4.2.2 stock.

In my experience, the dock is the least powerful of the chargers, my phone gets unbearably hot when charging on mains, put it in the dock and it just gets a little warm.

The dock is 1800mah, but the wall charger that came with the phone is only 1500mah,
does it mean I shouldn't use the same wall charger when charging via the dock ? Do I need a charger rated at least 1800mah ?

I never noticed that. Yeah, maybe a bit warm but not so much as you can say it's hot. I will check it sometimes the next few days and will give a second review. :good:

Last night tries to charge with same cable but a 2amp charger, and the dock did not heat up at all.

Yeah it was like always, normal.
Thats possible, you can try it with another original charger and then you know whats going on, maybe..

Can it cause any damage if using a 2.1amp wall charger instead of the original 1.5amp ?

I think the phone charges how much it needs/set. So if you give the bigger charger it can be that the phone doesnt charge faster. But i'm not sure also my explanation is bad I know
" So if you give the bigger charger it can be that the phone doesnt charge faster."
So it will not damage something. That I wanna say with this sentence
But for a 100% correctly answer an other person have to give an answer like a dev

The phone SHOULD only take the charge it needs, it has an auto cut out when the battery is full so it won't overload and damage the battery.
Charging amps is a funny business. A 1.5 amp charger on a ten metre cable will be practically the same as a 10 amp charger straight into the phone. You lose energy through the cable. The cable my dock came with is rated 2.1 amp but the charger itself is only rated for 0.5 amp. So it takes forever to charge, till I plugged a 3amp charger in, it charges at the same rate but the phone gets much hotter.
I dunno, I just stick to keeping the amps and cable ratings the same as the one that came with the phone in the box. That way we know we can break anything:good:

Is there something that can be done to fix this ? has anyone found a cure yet ? (other than dipping the phone in water to cool it down)

Ignore it, the phone will automatically shut itself down to protect itself long before the temperature is high enough to actually cause it any permanent damage. It's actually nice in my profession, warms the hands on freezing cold days.

[Q] Slow charge?

I'm using the "fast charger" that comes with the phone, but it seem to charge slower than I predicted. It says 1 hour until full charge when they phone is at 55%.
Is this right?

did you use the cable that come with the phone?
not all microusb cable can do fast charge.

Yes. I'm using everthing that comes with it.

The next question is.... were you messing with the phone while it gave you that estimated 1 hour left to fully charged? If you have the screen on and doing a lot of crap with it, of course it will take longer (this may be obvious to some, I'm not trying to insult you if you didn't know this, just stating the fact)
My experience with it went like this yesterday - note that I haven't even unpacked the factory charger, was using the Motorola Turbo Charger for this "experiment"
0% (phone died over night off charger to make this test)
30 mins on Turbo Charger - 45%
1 hour on Turbo Charger - 85%
Had to take it off to go to work, but those are some great numbers for a charger not necessarily designed for this phone, but the device was in Fast Charging mode the whole time, of course, so it was comparative

Is there some way to turn on fast charge? Because 6hours to fully charge or even charge a lot I don't have.

Use the fast charger that came with it or the Turbo Charger and it comes on automatically, 6 hours was with me using wireless charging which is always going to be slower than any wired 2+ amp charger will do

Lol I plugged into the the stock charger from the box and it said 6hrs to charge (from 0) switched outlet just incase that outlet was wonky but same result. The I said screw it and just figured I use to wireless charger so at least the phone would be near me, low and behold it says 3hrs (from 0). So apparently wireless is the way to go.

You must have had something else going on with the phone for it to say 6 hours on the factory charger....... I don't remember what mine said because I plugged it in, powered it on, and started watching the clock in the kitchen, turning on the phone screen only to check battery levels at those specific intervals I stated! I didn't even touch the device to start anything when I started this experiment, so it wasn't running any apps other than Android system level stuff, but no, wireless definitely isn't going to be faster, despite what the estimated timer said on the phone!

Well it's charging super quick compared to that factory charger. On the factory charger (plugged in right after phone died) went from 0 to 5 percent in about 25 minutes. on the wireless charger right now its gone from 5 to 16 in under 20 minutes. more than twice as fast.
Aslo, I am using the new Samsung wireless charger that is supposed to support fast charging.
**EDIT**
It charges even faster if I plug it directly into the cable for the wireless charger. Now it says 1hr29mn instead of 2hrs.

Make sure the cable is plugged all the way in to the charging brick. If it's not plugged in all the way, even a few mm, it will charge much slower.

I believe the laws of physics dictate that this will happen.

Charging speed

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

But to be fair with the phone, I've never used the original charger of G Flex 2 to charge. I either used my old chargers from previous phones or I plugged it into my laptop to charge it. Let me find the original charger and try it when i get back home

Great
Very fast charge

Delete please.

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.

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
