I've had this N9 LTE for about a week and a half, so i'm still not used to it fully, but this, this can't be normal right? I havn't seen a device take 10 hours to recharge 75% since the first iPhone in 2007. Plus I have ElementalX Kernal with fast recharge enabled...I don't get it

find a good cable and a good 1.5A-2A charger, the junk HTC gave us is something out of their "just include something" bin. I haven't even taken the stock charger out of its packaging. its good in a pinch when you must have a charge, but not worth using on a higher power device like the N9.
also, give a kernel like elementalX a try, it should enable faster charging..
anker makes some good self regulated (based on needs) multi port chargers, give those a try with some anker 1' cables.

Stock charger works fine here. Takes 6 hours or so to charge.

I'm using my note 4 fast charger and cable. Can't be better quality than that. And as mentioned, I'm already on ElementalX
After you change the cable you might realize that this won't solve the problem. Most of the times it works better if you simply reboot the tablet, the charging time will significantly decrease (~3-4 h depending on your kernel). Share if something changes.

Yeah that's not normal... I would now try the stock charger... That's what I use and it works fine... If that doesn't help then I'll would call Google for a replacement
I'll wait for 5.1 to come out and will take a decision then. Thanks for your input
it's not normal for this to happen, but i've seen a few threads where this does happen and it doesn't matter the kernel, charger or cables. sometime the device gets stuck at charging at less than usb 2.0 speeds. it doesn't happen all the time, but it's pretty crappy when it does happen. one suggestion was to unplug and replug each time you charge it to hopefully not get stuck with the bug through that charge session. when i do catch it trickle charging i just replug it. i generally charge in just over 4hrs for a full charge using a samsung note charger and cable.
I have been using the stock charger with a third-party USB cable (I needed something longer) and it has never taken more than 3-4 hours for a full charge.
Try using Ampere app from the play store to test different chargers and cable combinations. It helped me to eventually go with a iPad charger and a 20awg 1m cable which charges at an average of 1700mha which means a full charge of about 3hrs or less (stock ROM + ElementalX fast charge enabled)

Not sure if this is the same issue, but when I charge my n9 overnight, the battery indicator only shows like 23% charge. However, if I restart the n9 it updates and shows 100%.
Anyone have that issue? Buy
I think my Nexus 9 charges faster with the Fire-Ice Kernel

So, first let me say the XRON CM7 is amazing and big thanks to leoisright for working so hard to bring us to a beta version. Now I know in the early versions of the CM7 alphas there were some people having SOD problems and even some that could not charge there touchpad and had to send it back for service.
So for all those that are on the fence, because of this, lets lay this out there and use personal experiences to help. Please share:
- how do you charge your unit, USB stock charger or touchstone
- do you charge in WebOS, or while in the Android operating system
- have you ever drained your battery and were able to charge it normally?
Feel free to share any other battery issues or tips to increase battery life, specifically XRON
My own experience is:
-i haven't let the battery drain fully since being on XRON CM7 Rom, and I charge in WebOS, with touchstone charger. Battery life has been awesome with moderate usage.
Thanks to all that share

How do u guys charge ur TP? And in what operating system?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I always charge mine within Android, using the stock charger. A standard charger (like my Droid X) has a lower output (I never though .3 volts would make a difference) and it takes forever to charge.
Haven't ran the battery down yet since using XRON.
I charge in both systems with the stock wall charger.
I get better battery life in webOS. No exact #, but I probably get 1 more hour using it similarly. I've found that I'm using webOS more. Probably about 65/35. If I could only have one os, I'd probably choose webOS, though I've used Android a lot longer.
I'm running OTA 3.0.4, Uberkernal @ 1.5 max and 192 min. In android it's CM7 Xronified, vB1.1, oc to 1.5 max and 384 min.

O yeah makes a huge difference
Does anyone have a touchstone, I'm curious how induction charging reacts in android.
I use a combination of both standard wall charger and touchstone, whichever happens to be nearest at the time. At night it gets put on the touchstone so I start each day with a topped up battery.
I never let the battery get lower then 20% and always run Xron.
I have WiFi on all the time and Bluetooth on when out and about to enable navigation.
10 hours is just about possible from full.
That's more than enough for "allday use".
Great thanks, im trying it on the touchstone now under the android system.
The touchstone is so much more convenient way to charge.

according to engadget experiments, Touchpad has about 8 hrs of battery if you use it continuously..so if we are getting 10 hrs on it then i thinks it good enough...
I use it for around 3-4 hrs daily on android and charge once in 2-3 days....but it always connected to WIFI...

I can see how 8 hrs would be appropriate for non stop use, but, in all honesty my usage is on and off all day. I resently read via kindle reader for 6 hrs at a stretch and had over 30% still showing.
One thing I do believe is that the battery satus monitor (like all devices on android ROMs) is wildly innacurate and definitive values can only ever be established by comparative clinical "lab" tests.
I'm on Xron latest and getting great battery life.

Coming from an iphone 4s to sgs2 and now to xps... Man... Charging is a pain for andriods phones... Xps is a great phone.. But got to get use to the slow charging and lousy battery life...
How many time since you first turned on your XS?

It does charge slowly if you keep the screen on and use its multimedia functions, as I suspect the drain is substantial, but if simply on standby, mine charges reasonably quickly.

SE EP850 Charger
Ya, mine no longer charges from PC USB when PC is sleeping. When PC is awake the charging is way too slow. My old HD2 could charge fine from PC and this saves me from having to plug in its dedicated charger to power socket.
Hmm, im reading that most of you get a full charge, from 0%, in just about 1 hour. Mine is taking 2 hours, why is that? I've had the phone for a week.
EP800 charger maybe?

I believe you can pull from 100 to 400 mA from the USB port on a computer.
And the wall charger should put out at least double that. So ofcourse a charge will be slower when you can't pump as much juice into the battery as you can with a dedicated wall charger.
You can on some mainboards let the USB ports stay alive while the rest of the system is a sleep. But sure it's only logical that when you put your computer to sleep, so will the USB ports.
HD2 is able to get charged through USB when PC is asleep, but not XS. For those who're interested.

Hey,
I got my new S3 yesterday and I plugged it in before booting the phone so it could charge, I didn't let it charge to 100% though.
And now, after being plugged in over night, it just charged to 40%. Never goes above.
My version is XXLE8 stock.
Now after 3 hours of usage it is at 33%

Hi,
Which kind of charger did you use? The original one? It's like you used a less powerfull (ex: <1 A output). Your charging profile is strange effectivly...
Can you install baterry monitor widget pro and say us how is calibrate your battery (mAh) and if your charger is configure at the right intensity (the original one is a 1500 mA).
Try to charge it turning off your phone.... and eventually wipe battery stats (useless but...)
I am friend with same problem. hoping someone can help.
My original charger is off or the signal that he is carrying. bought mine yesterday.
Im charging with the original charger that came with my S3 (USB cable with a power adapter thingy, you know)
Here is a screen shot of Battery Monitor Widget. I plugged it in a few minutes ago.
There is a calibrate option in the app, but I dont know what to type in there.
You have to make a 40% cycle charge and you'll check several informations about your battery properties... After this, you will have to define 2100mAh for your battery and 1500mA for your charger output intensity (using parameters windows).
Wait and see... Do you have another charger to test?
It is charging now with the original S3 charger and is at 39%. Lets see if it goes above now.
I have a charger from my old Galaxy S i9000 (original) here, too.
First your battery capacity is configure at 1500mA in your screen... It's not the right one! You have to change it via calibration menu/add newer battery
OK I will change the two parameters and then use it for one day and report back.
It is now at 41% but it is climbing very slow. It climbed from 33% to 39% very fast and then it slowed down dramatically.
thank you
You juste have to make a great 100% charging cycle and see...
I put to find matching with a more powerful charger in my galaxy tab 7 plus.
Can it cause harm?
With the original charger from S3 is no more than 40%.
At Battery Widget information also were wrong, now I have got.
Appeared at 1500 mAh.

Austin 3:16 said "I just whooped your ass"
I reckon Im a heavy user. 2hrs of telephone calls, 2hrs of on screen time in a period of six hours at an average.
Therefore I find it difficult to make the batt last through the day on a single charge. Since the battery is not removable I was thinking of buying a portable battery backup which I can use to charge it on the move. Have the following questions regarding the same. Please help if u can.
1. Is it safe to use a backup portable on the go charger?
2. What are some good brands?
3. Do they have a good life?
4. Any ones you would like to recommend?

The "official" unit that will be able to fast charge just like your plugged into the wall with the EP851 is the Sony CP-A2LAS. It has a 4000mah capacity so it will be able to give your phone two full charges from zero. It was just released in Japan and will be around the world globaly soon.

this battery looks intresting...i also have the same battery drain issue...thinking of giving this external battery a try...
for delete
Hi guys,
I have had my S3 for 2 years now and noticed this problem for the first time around 5 weeks or so ago. Basically i noticed that it would not charge much after a long period of time charging, and also when using the device the battery would deplete a lot more quickly than what I am used to.
On investigation it appears that I am losing power while charging. I downloaded the application 'galaxy charging' which lets me know how many mA are being drawn etc.
Via mains the reference is always 1098 or around 1amp as it should be and via USB it is 466mA. This app monitors the average current being drawn while the device is charging and i notice that EVERY time i charge via either mains or USB the device NEVER charges at its max capacity (1098mA via mains and 466 via USB)
What i see which happens is as soon as i plug in my charger to mains it will start off close to maximum, around 800mA and then after 10 seconds or so it will slowly come down to say 600mA, a further 20 seconds or sooner we are down to 300mA and eventually it will either settle around this figure if i am lucky so i actually charge my phone (all be it very slowly) but much more likely it will always drop off to 100mA. At this power the phone drains more battery being on than power being given to it to charge so the battery goes down while charging.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Troubleshooting attempted:
I have replaced the battery with a new one. I still get the same problem
I have replaced the USB lead, i *might* get a slightly higher stable mA on average on one but maybe this is probably just coincidental
I have tested via mains and USB, the error occurs on both, I have tested mains where nothing else uses the socket and USB on a PC where the only USB port being used is the phone.
I have changed my ROM, I am now using ArchiDroid. I thought doing a complete reset and putting on a new OS might fix this but apparently not.
Right now I am out of ideas and am left thinking this is some internal hardware error, but can anyone else offer any suggestions or has this happened to anyone else?
Appreciate any responses,
James
You could try a custom kernel which allows you to override the charging current, but you may find the charging circuit inside the phone is damaged.
Easy solution if so is to get a desktop charger and second battery.

Hi everyone, thanks for all your replies. However it was this one that fixed my issue. Since i already had the boeffla kernal on my phone i found the setting to 'ignore unstable power' and since having that checked i now charge at a constant 460mA via USB and 1098mA via mains. Thank you so much!!
