Hello guys , i noticed 2 positive things but i am not so sure,
i think that using the Note4 fast charger has charged my phone from 40% to 100% in like about alittle as 30minutes !
the other positive thing which i think is that my Nexus6 didnt heat up whereas using the Turbo Charger heats my phone ( And i dont ever use the phone when i have it plugged in the charger ) .
anybody else with a similar experience here ?

Same with the Motorola-charger delivered with the N6.
The N6 is suitable for Turbocharging as long it is charged below 78%. (Read somewhere).

yeah bro , i noticed but the heating up issue dissappears when i use the Note 4 (fast charger) .. the heating issue on my nexus6 only is there when i have the phone down to 30% charge and then using turbo charger it heats the phone, but when i charge it with the note 4 cable it doesnt heat it up ..
would it be bad if i kept using the note Fast Charger on my nexus ?

No. The use of a different charger works good, as long as the charge capacity output is 1 Ampere or more.
The turbo charger of Motorola can do a 'warming up' of the battery, because the charger uses in turbo mode 9 or 12 Volt. But only when the battery is charged <78%.
I use the M-charger hardly. I prefer wireless charging.

cool thanks ! which wireless charger are you using ? i have always been interested in those wireless thingies, how exactly do they work though .. ?
you charge thos pad like thingies up and then they can give your phone juice by simply placing your phone sitting onto it ,
question is how long does it take to charge it from lets say 40% to 100% , does it take several hours ? or more?

1. Wireless charging works with every cheap QI-pad. Look at eBay.
2. Same as standard. Several hours. A charger connected to a QI-pad needs to have a capacity of at least 1A.
TIP - Use a flat type QI-pad for a Nexus 6. The first time using a QI-pad you need to find the best position. When that's done place a small marker on the pad,

Battery drains out from 10% to 1% and (OFF) in a minute, yes one minute...
Any one has the same problem?, is this normal?.
I noticed it does not happen every time, what could possibly cause the problem?.
Thanks
Hello,
You should try recalibrate your battery. To do that :
- Discharge your phone and let it turns off itself
- Power it on and wait that it switches off
- Charge your phone when it's off during 8 hours
Good luck !
and after you fully load your battery go into recovery and wipe the battery stats and charge it up again

I've seen a similar behaviour on many other Android devices. IMHO you can consider 10% Battery as almost Zero - you just shouldn't let it run that low.
I have noticed one thing,when phone is charched with charger battery life time is around 5 days.
When i charge phone over computer, two and half day is max of battery duration??
Anyone else noticed that?

It's always been the case, using the wall socket will give better battery life compared to using the pc.

Same thing for the car adapter. Weird phenomenon that cannot be explained from a scientific point of view, but it's my own experience.
Havn't noticed that with my neo, however I never have my phone below 20% for too long, have a charger in my travel bag, 1 in the car and 1 at home, always a cable to plug in nearby.

This is probably because USB port in PC is limited to 5 volts and that means that the charging will be slower and not so efficien.t probably same thing with car adapter.

PC usb = 500mA & 5V
Wall charger = 1A & 5V
Some PC motherboards had specially made some USBs ports for charging. There is output ~800mA. Read your pc manual.

Well I bought the Galaxy S3 on the first day of the UK launch and depleted the battery to 0% then charged with the original 1 Amp charger from 0%. I had noticed that this takes a very very long time, around 8 hours. The battery life after charging however is substantial and very adequate.
On the second charge after depletion once again, I decided to use a Griffin 2.1 Amp charger which I had used to charge the hefty Galaxy note with. The Galaxy S3 charges at a much rapid rate and takes around 2-3 hours to reach 100% from 0%. However I have noticed that the battery life depletes a bit faster, Is this due to my imagination or is a 2.1 Amp charger not suitable for this phone as it was with the tablet-like Galaxy note.
Also note that I tried to charge my HTC one X with the 2.1 Amp charger and it charge very slowly, while the original HTC charger has a much lower ampage than 1 Amp
Hmm I have been using my galaxy s charger 0.5amp and it has been charging pretty slowly but seems to deplete faster.
I have been actively using for 50min on wifi now and 85% left. Which seems a bit quick for me. I will try charging with the standard 1amp tonight and see.
Now fast are you depleting at?
I measure my battery life by checking the screen on time just before the death of the charge which was 5 hours on the original charger, with the quick charger its 4 hours. My Galaxy note has no change in battery life weather you any ampere chargers. Also the general battery percentage seems to run low faster anyway on the galaxy s3 using the fast charger.

Just wondering, since the S2 had a limit of 650mA for charging, does this apply to the S3? You guys make it sound like it charges slow as well...
Galaxy s2 does charge very slow for me aswell. Compared to htc phones the Galaxy s 2 charges painfully slowly. Now I regularly use the 2 amp charger on my galaxy s3 and have seen a huge improvement in charging speeds. It charges at around 2% per minute and still lasts around 4 hours of screen time for a full charge.

I noticed that I can only charge fast using original charger. While charger with shorted usb data + & - (ie. htc 1A charger) will not activate fast charging.
You can verify by going into *#*#4636#*#*, Battery, using ori charger will show AC while HTC charger will show USB
I think samsung made some changes to the microUSB pinout

Thanx for the "shortcode". Where does one find those?
Also from reading about the MHL to HDMI cable from older devices not wotking, it does in fact seem that Samsung have changed the microUSB pinouts (although my Nokia 1.2A charger shows AC in that battery "menu").
Mine charges from about 10% to full in about two and a half hours, using the charger provided in the box.
My s2 came with a 0.7amp charger and took about 2.5 hours. My s3 came with a 1amp charger and takes about the same. Charges to 80% in no time and then slows down for the later part of the charge

A battery isn't like a fuel tank which you simply fill up through the hose until it's full.
Due to physical and chemical reasons, a nearly-full battery takes a lot longer to fill by a certain percent since it simply can't store the energy quickly enough.
Additionally, deep-discharged batteries often start with a slower charging speed (and then cranked up) to keep the battery from dying too soon and/or not being able to reach full capacity.
is the Nokia 1.2A charger ok to use with the samsung G3 as i got one of these spare and would prefer use it if so as the usb is way to short to reach from my desk up and around the back.
but the Nokia 1.2A charger lead is more than long enough
Just to check with all of you, i've been told that it is best not to charge your phone or any other handheld device IF the battery is not at a really low rate, at least not till your device actually prompts you to charge. They were saying that this would cause the battery life to be shortened. But at times, I need to make sure that i have enough battery to last me for a few more hours before i knock off from work, i would just charge the phone (battery at 25-30%) even before it prompts me to. Is it alright to do that often?
2ndly, at times when i stream videos on my phone for many hours, the battery would definitely drain fast and i would need to charge my phone at least 2-3 times a day. Is it alright for me to do that or am i "abusing" it? =X
Appreciate all your advises...Thanks in advance~
so any update on if using the nokia charger is ok with it being 200mah more than the standard 1A charger since it has longer lead.
or there is the 700mah samsung charger from my old S2

I don't know why this misconception still lives on; lithium ion batteries require no priming on first use. The WORST thing you can do with a li-ion battery is to fully deplete it before recharging. It is much better to top it off whenever possible; having said that leaving it turned on, on the charger once it is full is also not the best thing (though nowhere near as bad as depleting it fully).
I believe since this phone has a removable battery with external charger the best thing you can do is always charge your battery in the external charger and just switch out the battery when it gets to around 10%.
Nek0onna you should charge your phone whenever it's not full and you have a handy charger.

Can anybody check what the max charge rate is on this device with a battery monitor app? I have handfuls of 1A and a couple 2.1A chargers. I'd really like to charge at twice the rate if possible but not all devices support such rapid charging (kernel limits and such). Just curious before I buy one Thanks!
Even if Samsung slipped up and allowed a 2A charge i'd never want to try it, because tablet and laptop batteries are rated and manufactured for a higher current charge/discharge and most phone batteries would heat and swell up and possibly explode.
my HP touchpad charges with a 1A charger and it would be nice to use that with my sgs3.
Can anybody please check what the max charge rate is on this device
So about 3 weeks ago I downloaded a rom for my GS3 Liquid smooth 4.4KK my battery was already kinda bad
Then my phone randomly flickered and shutdown it wouldnt turn on with the power up button so i took the battery out amd it was really really bulky.
I ordered a new battery for about £7 on ebay (hopefully it was genuine) but after a few days it too went only slightly fat. Also my rabbit chewed tbrough my official charger so i had to use i think was either my note 8.0 tablet charger or my dads note 3 charger.
I didnt use my phone for about 1 week. During that time i did some research and found out it could be either 1) the rom 2) the charger 3) 2 bad batteries 4 or just my phone.
P.s phone gets hot on the bottom when chargering... i mean hot enough to worry
I also just ordered a new official charger and a new genuine battery
Any idea what it could be ?
If u haave any clues please let me no asap im really scared because i cant turn it on without charging now
You must be crazy or desperate to use the note 3 charger or a tablet charger. Those have arnd 3.0A current and the gs3 charger only uses 1.0A current. I am not even surprised the battery inflated. Use the official charger and official battery. For guaranteed official items, go to Samsung and order from them.

It could have 10A. The GS3 draws at most 1.1A, no matter how much the charger can output.

Anyway is it even safe to use the batteries? And you guys are sure its the reasons for my screen flickers and shutdowns?

Also my mum uses the same charger i usedd for her note 1
There is no way you will get a genuine Samsung batteey for $7, due to the NFC coil being in the battery. You probably got a fake, with a poor quality cell inside.

Mine is also charging very slow. I hope this can get fixed with an software update or custom kernel.
Maybe you have something working in the background. If in doubt, Always do a reboot

My first impression was yeah it's slow! But from 0% to 100%. About 5hrs not to bad considering its a 6700mah. Can live with that
It's a 1.5A charger, charging a 25.46 Wh battery. I do not think software can bend laws of physics
Seriously I do not know what were they thinking, the original Nexus 7 has a 2A charger, the Nexus 6 ships with a "turbo charger", it's just...
Would I do any harm charging it with my 2A Nexus 7 charger?

I've tried that and it doesn't charge any faster.. If we're to charge with more than 1.5A this has to be adjusted in the kernel. Faux had implemented something like it on the Nexus 5, where I was able to charge with my 2A charger.

happend to me too...
Mine was at 30% last night. I plugged it in and 8 hours later it was at 80%. Something seems a little weird.
I noticed the same thing last night, rebooted it right before bed, put it on the charger at 24%, and this morning after seven hours or so it was at 84%
Does it say "charging (AC)" or "charging (USB)"? Charging at the USB rate is probablly going to be pretty slow. Using my anker 45w charger and a decent cable got it charged in reasonable time IMO.
Using the HTC charging block i got with the N9 it was estimating 7hours charge time. So i plugged it into my LG G2 charging block and it went down to 4hours. The LG is a 2.1Amp block
70% battery level.
Nexus 1.8 A fast charger - 1,20 hours left.
Htc 1.5A charger - 2 hours left.
So Damn you google for including a slow charger for a 6.7 A battery.

Hi
As a note, plugging into a computer to charge, even with high current USB charging ports can see significantly longer charging times, this is because while the computer is on, the phone never sleeps (stays awake with screen off to maintain the USB data connection), and so apps and other processes are free to do what they like, and it doesn't take much ramping up the CPU on these devices to see most or all of the charging current diverted to just running the device.
Normal USB charging at 500mA when the computer is on, so USB data connection connected meaning the Nexus never deep sleeps will take an age, and if an app is constantly doing something, the CPU can easily be ramping up enough to still see battery drain even when charging.
I use an app called CPU Spy, if when the device isn't being used and is off charge, if deep sleep percentage is less than 90%, an app is usually the culprit and is constantly waking and holding awake the device, so this results in quicker run down times of the battery, and will also slow it's recharging.
Regards
Phil

I think you misunderstand the terminology here.
The cradle can charge the watch to 100% if connected to a USB charger, which also charges the cradle's battery at the same time.
The cradle will only charge the watch to ~50% when disconnected from a USB charger.
Watch holds about 300mA of charge. Crade holds about 350mA but the thing is there is always lost in electricity.
Long story short and simply speaking - during charging electrons and all that stuff needs to move from one place to another which generates heat... Well... not that much heat that we could feel or notice but it's quite a lot for 350mA battery which is tiny amount of energy.
Also if you are playing with your watch while it's charging from a disconnected cradle you will use energy out from a cradle and there will be not enough to charge a watch.
The other thing is that while it's charging tilting it in any direction lights up the screen which consume energy. So if it's in your bag/backpack/pocket charging from a cradle and you are walking you may even don't know about it and in the end of the day it won't charge as much as it would with the screen off for all that time while it was charging.
I think it's quite simple enough now for everybody right?
I'm getting to 60%
I've just tried it out and from fully charged cradle I got 77% from 30%... We can say it's 50% as I use "Face Watch Always On"
When I ran my test, my Gear S had run down to 0% battery. Then, I powered off the Gear S and stuck it on the charging cradle. When I turned on my Gear S, it had 60%.
My experience is ~60% when powered off, 45-50 when on but screen off and 30-40% with various tasks. My manual also says 50% capacity. They should've just made the dock bigger with higher capacity. I can't imagine there are too many people who wear it with the dock

Yes that is how the charging cradle is designed (see the manual). For full charge you'll need to plug it in. The cradle is designed to give you an extra boost if you're out and can't plug it in.
