If you charge your vibrant from 0% how long does it take to reach 100%. Mine takes well over 4 hours, so just wondering if its just mine.

im not sure because i have spare battery so i havent really paid attention but id say thats about right.
Hmm... A friend of mine who owns a captivate says that his phone charges within 2 hours. Captivate too has the same 1500mah ago why the different charging times?

wall charger is 2-2.5 hours
Charging off Computer usb 4-4.5 hours the usb puts out less about 200mv so it takes longer
Well it all depends on whether your phone is on and how much you use it while its plugged in.

I usually plug in the phone and leave it until it charges to 100.
Edit: I use a motorola charger (dunno which phone) and its output is 5v(850ma) and I use a ac to dc converter as we don't have ac plug sockets in here. Does this make any difference?

Battery left widget can tell you exactly how long
My phone takes forever to charge. I have had a MT3G and a Gtab and they both charged within 2 hours or so. The Vibrant takes about 4 hours. Heck, my laptop will charge to full in less than two hours.
~2-3 hours. Though I usually charge it overnight and it's never a problem. Most times at the end of the day its around 80-90%
(I charge it while driving around, used for car profile detection)
4-5 hours to charge completely. Samsung phones are notorious for slow charging.

So its not just mine. I normally charge during day (vacations yippeee) as I've been using my phone extensively and 4 hours during day means I can't take my phone with me when I hang out with friends, even if I do get it out it does out easily (cuz I'm a heavy user).

It's really slow for me too and I have been wondering the same thing.
I think it takes around 3-4 hours to fully charge on a wall charger.
With the phone switched off it charges much faster in around 2 hours I guess.
It takes me 4 hours even if it its switched off..

Hey guys I'm getting my new 2000mah battery tomorrow and I want to know some precautions. OK first - when I get it should I put it in the phone and use my phone until it drops to one percent and then recharge fully to 100? Or, should I charge the battery immediately after I get it (assuming it will be at like 50%). Thanks all

After 50% charge it over night (mobile off) . Use it till 50%, charge it over night (mobile off). Repeat it one more time. Than you can use it as usual.
That's how I do it. Read some technical information to know why.

Just wondering, how much did you pay for the battery?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Plug in battery, charge, use phone.
Profit.?
Modern batteries don't need any fancy charging regime. Just use it and charge it as you see fit. It will perform better once it's been used for a couple of weeks and had a few good full charges, but it is not required.
How much is this battery? And how many hours more do you get with it?
Bought it for like 40 bucks from Expansys and it will be here in 13 days lol. Also thanks for tips

Any particular day of the week you have to perform this bizarre charging ritual ? Do i need a special hat ? maybe sacrifice a goat ?
How long does it take to charge your Note using the Stock charger?
Any larger chargers that would speed things up?
My Motorola charger charges pretty quick, about 40% an hour or so

Conditioning is more important than the initial charging of a lithium-ion battery.
Run it on the charge for an hour or two extra. But make sure you use the battery to around 20% charge then recharge it fully.
Depending on who you ask, this seems to be the best for longevity for Li batteries.
OK thank you
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
it's also very damaging to run lithium batteries flat (like you see in some screenshots where people run it to like 1%)
optimum charge for lithium is between around 30% and 80%. they will get better life with regular top up charges rather than full discharge and charge.
Re Samsung S3 GT-19000
I asked the same question to customer services when I got mine and was told charge first time for 8 hours,. even though the batt will come with some charge already in it,. they told me charge for 4 hours, then you can turn it on but leave it continue charging for a further 4 hours with minimal use, then your ready to go, the standby life is only a couple of days,. from experience, but if your browsing or playing games/watching video etc it will only last 7 to 10 hours,. hope thats helpful,. regards Gwest
No need to charge for x hours before use. That, and those "fully charged before discharge", "fully discharged before recharge" are for nickel battery which has memory effect. Lithium battery has no memory effect but natural degradation. To slow the degradation, just avoid fully discharge and high temperature.
My s3 takes upto 2:30 hours to get fully charge! Can anyone tell me the ideal time for phone to get charged or should I change my charger??

I think its alright! Yup its little slow but its fine! When I was having a stock S3, it used to take 2 + hrs for complete charging (0%-100%)
If you are not satisfied then you can change your charger!
Or if you are are rooted user then u can try by changing charging settings in your kernel(only if u have a custom kernel)!
Press thanks if it helped you! :silly:
Yea, no need to panic. Same here.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app
You could use a custom kernel modifing the charge settings but BE CAREFUL, could be dangerous for your battery if you will exaggerate
The older your battery is then the smaller it's capacity and the quicker it will charge. A brand new battery should take around 4 hours to charge, so your battery has lost 40% of it's original capacity -assuming your charger and internal charging circuit of the phone remain to spec.
