Takes almost 2 hours with me using a 2.1a fast charger

if you have gsm battery app you can see that the phone cannot accept 2.1A,
it's the big cons indeed!

Takes 2h20m from an Anker IQ 2.4A charger (1-100%) With the stock 1A charger it takes 3+ hours.

I just got mine and it charges much faster with a 2 amp charger. I am using a 5 port Aukey with one port that has the Qualcom fast charge 2.0.
I also have a Blu VIVO 5 and the Honor charges just as fast as that with the 2 amp charger. The Blu Vivo 5 includes a 2amp in the box while the honor does not.

On my HTC One and my Sony Xperia Z3 compact, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.ampere reports something in the neighborhood of 1.4-1.7 amperes with a Quick Charge 2.0 charger, and I go from 1% to 60% in about 20-30 minutes as claimed. On my Honor 5X, the highest I see the app report is 850 mA, and it takes about as long as what everyone else is reporting. With a non-Quick Charge charger I get about 550 mA.
Edit: 850 mA is what I often see using one of my chargers. I'm using a different one right now and just now I saw it as high as 1.1 A.

Using an USB multimeter I can see it charge at 1A with my Blitzwolf 5 ports charger.

Honor 5x L22 model take around 3 hours to charge from 0-100%.

Wish they would enable Qualcomm Quick Charge tech for this device since the Chinese market version has it by default. It takes quite a while to charge from 0-100

Good speed with the normal 2 Amp charger. reaches 100% in and around 2hrs

Quite slow

upto the mark

Coming from a fast charging phone, honor 5x is quite slow. But it is OK as i use the phone normally so from 100 to 0 it last easily 2 days.
Sent from my KIW-L21 using XDA-Developers mobile app

yep they should have used some sort of quick charge

0-100% takes 2 and a half hours usually.

2hours with 2A charger

It's still very slow

Plus side is slower charge will keep your battery in better health and longer lifespan . fast charge is real harsh on the battery pack .
I find mine takes almost 3 hrs from about 5% to full when on and 4G running . You can get 60% in an hr or less which not bad .

VOOC from Oppo is the most efficient.

2 hours average from 5-100% on stock charger.

Charging time - Slow?

Is charging time really slow for the Xperia Ultra?
Mine charges about 35% per hour.
It takes 3 hours to fully charge my phone. Coming from a Samsung Note 2 which charges completely in 1.5 hours, I find this really slow.
Charge current 1Ah is normal.

Try charging in Airplane Mode.
Well, there's two sides of fast charging.
One side, you need little time to charge (of course lol)
On the other side, the faster the charge (1,5 hour of full charge on lithiums is VERY fast) the more strains the battery experience in a charge cycle, hence shorter battery life. Since XZU battery is non removable, let's assume that sony play it safe..
Oh and CMIIW the charger for note 2 is rated at 2A DC output right (or was it the S4? I forgot)? That's higher than XZU's 1.5A DC output charger (CMIIW, haven't received my XZU yet).. So 1.5A DC to fill a 3Ah battery is about 2.5 hour, depending on the charge controller of the handset.
- Battery is 3050 mAh
- Charge current is 1 or 1.5 A(h), AKA 1000/1500 mAh
- Charging time for a 3000 mAh battery = (1000 mAh (1 A(h)) x 3 = 3000 mAh), or (1500 mAh (1.5 A(h)) x 2 = 3000 mAh)
TL;DR: It's normal. The bigger the battery, the longer it takes to charge.
You can use a 2 A charger, but it might damage the battery, or worse. Charging through a USB is also much slower (around 500 mAh)

Actually, charging lithium requires specific algortihm to maximize the battery's lifespan and capacity (CC-CV algorithm).
That's why phones manufacturers use "fast charge" marketing gimmick to charge your smartphone up to 80% capacity in just x hour. It is not actually "fast charge". It's just the CC phase, where the charging controller makes full use of the adaptor's output current. After that comes the CV phase, where every lithium batteries, no matter how big their capacity is, are in the mercy of current-voltage law... That said, charging a 3000mAh battery with a 1.5A adaptor will take more than 2 hours.
Technical things aside, charging (most of currently used) phone's batteries from "zero" to full capacity (which, to a certain extent, doesn't matter how big the battery's capacity is) in just 1.5 hours is near the limit of fast charging.
Thanks for the info. Takes me more or less 2.5 - 3 hours.
Now I know it is normal, thanks to your explanations. I was used to the Samsung Note 2's battery (3100 mAh) and it took just 1.5 hours to fully charge. I remember it being 1% increase per minute. Didn't know that the Samsung charger was 2A DC. Yikes, I sometimes use that to charge other devices.

Well for one thing, when you charge the battery, what you're doing is increasing its internal voltage. To charge the battery, you have to supply a higher voltage than the battery currently has, and so the higher the battery's charge, the slower it charges, all else being equal.
However, all is not equal, because at a certain point, the charger slows down the current it is delivering for safety reasons. These two things combine and the result is much slower charging after a certain point.

i used the charger from galaxy s4 ( 2A) to charge my xperia z ultra but it didn't charge it faster than the sony stock charger ( 1.5A). Weird. it seems that the phone doesn't allow more amps to be transfered. thats ashame cause if you use the phone while charging it doesn't charge almost at all. the consumption is higher than the charge rate
I just compared samsung 2A charger and Sony 1.5A on stock KK 4.4.4 (108). Samsung charger is better if you have limited time.
Is it real that charging with a higher current is bad for battery ?
Samsung 00:00>1%
Samsung 01:00>53%
Samsung 02:00>93%
Samsung 02:26>100%

Debatable, but I don't know that much about battery tech, so i'm not going to speculate. I'll keep using the stock charger though, since the Ultra has an internal battery after all, and I won't risk damaging the battery by using a different charger.
I'm using the DK30 dock btw, and it takes 2 hours from 0-100%. Do you have the dock, or are you using a regular cable?

Took me 3hrs to fully change my Mido. 0-100%
3-4 hours for a full charge, this thing really needs fast charging feature to charge this huge 4100mha battery..
Me too 3 to 3.30 minutes.If we use it while charging it charging slowly .
My phone take around 2 or 3 hours
2-3 hours as well, but I just charge while I'm sleeping. It easily lasts the full day, so I don't need to charge during the day
Charging RN4 mido is damn slow. It takes around 3hrs for 0-100% topup but why complain when the device lasts for 2days with 10+ hrs of SOT.
Anyone tested charging speed using a kernel that supports fast charging?
My phone takes around 2-2h30 hours to fully charge.
10% to 100% --> 2 hour 50 minutes
2.40 min if on if off around 2.20 if off
is there by any chance to enable fast charging on this device?
My phone takes around 1-1h30 hours to fully charge. Am from Brazil, here uses 230vts in my region...

Get a micro-USB cable that is 22 AWG or lower (the lower the AWG rating the better). And make sure that the cable is made by a high quality manufacturer.
Charging Time
My Phone charges from 0-100 in 2 hours maximum.
Excuse me but charging Redmi Note 4 with STOCK ROM from zero % to 100% takes minimum 3 hours using the cable and charger from the box.
On stock rom I think it's impossible to go under 3h. What is Your take on this?
3 hours to fully charge my rn4 mido. If this device have quick charge it would greater than it is now

The stock charger doesn't come with quick charge, just buy qc charger that is 3.0 (I suggest Aukey qc) and you'll get atleast 2 hrs charge from 0-90%.

Quick Charge 3.0 Kernel?

Hi, I'm using the 4x snapdragon, with the final Resurrection rom.
Can someone recommend a good kernel with quick charge and works alongside this rom?
Thanks in advance.

Why so obsessed to quick charge?
It's not much faster than the regular charge.
Quick charge enabled phone charge the 3000mah battery in 1.5hours... If the battery is larger 4000mah, it will takes approximately 2 hours to charge.
RN4 regular charge is about 2 hours 15mins... Its just 15 minutes longer and if we usually charge it overnight, its nothing difference... you want to take the unknown risk?

Yes!
We do all sort of things with our devices that are outside of "safe use". We overclock and overvolt them, flash stuff that could potentially brick them, etc.
As to why? I wouldn't charge the device from 0-100 with QC enabled but i sure as hell would like to charge it for 5 min and get 20-30%
If QC could be enabled it has to be tested sure, maybe it wouldn't be a good idea with an ambient T of 30C maybe the cut of point would be 60% or 20min. But yes I would like to test it.
Peace

When it comes to play the electricity, the risk isn't your phone brick but bomb...
And it will nowhere near 20-30% in 5 minutes.
LG G5 that have QC 3.0 enabled charge around 10% in 5 minutes. its with 2800mah battery, faster usb-c, etc...
What's the battery charging rate with a stock charger? My stock charger gives 1300mah at 70% and a Blitzwolf QC 3.0 gives 1700mah at 70%.

Well sure it won't be for every one, there is a real risk of the battery catching fire (bomb is a bit hyperbolic) . That's why IF it's possible people willing to take the risk have to test it out. Some might think it's worth the risk though.
My admittedly rusty back of the napkin math says it should be theoreticly possible to get 20% With 20V and 3.6A in less than 7 min.

1-80 should be close to 2000mah.

EU and US plug
Stock charger with EU plug, charge about 1400-1600mah

you are wrong,
RN4 snapdragon need 3 hour 5m for fully charged (10~100%) with 5V2A charger
and the advantage of QC is they charge very fast in 0~70% (about 30min only) then slower until 100% (max 1H 40m total)

Well my sister has a zen 2 too... It's not quick charge..
Quick charge is qualcomm tech, zen 2 have intel on it.
And zen2 just have 3000mah battery on it, mido is 4000mah capacity... It's 25% larger. Its totally different...
Before using mido, I was using mi5s that have QC 3.0, with legit 3.0 charger and usb-c, its no way 60-70% in 30 minutes.
Well I have 2 mido, come with 2 different stock charger. One is RN4 global, with EU plug... Yes it will need about 3 hours to charge. One is RN4x, come with chinese charger. It need 2.5 hours to top... 2 hours will get you from 10 to anywhere between 10-90+%, the last 10% is very slow...
Will provide logs later, because I've fully charged my phone this morning and still have 78% left this afternoon.
I've measured this morning charge... Start from 17% to 90% takes 100 minutes.
Note 4 takes less than 2 hours for full charge 10-100%. Just don't use the phone while charging.

Yeah, need at least 2hours to charge from critical value to 90 percent, as my experience fully charge ur phone is bad (i prefer to charge till 95 to 97 percent) furthermore the screen on time is the same.

While mine from 10%... 1 hour charge = 58%
Sorry, I have many work to do and need my phone, so I can't do full charge now. You can see the graph, I have to use my phone while charging... Should be more than 58% if I do not use it

Honor 8X Slow Charging

Hi guys! The phone is taking over 2hrs 30 mins to charge from 0 to 100% with the supplied 5V 2A charger. Is there any way to improve the charging time, considering this is very slow?
Not really as it doesn't support fast charge

yes that was a disappointment to me too... Previous phone was a Motorola Nexus 6 with fast charge, it was charging from 0 to 80% in like 30mn :-/
Will miss that. This said 8X battery really hold for 2 days, so just not forgetting to put it in charge one night every two and problem solved.
Well will using a 2.4A fast charger destroy the battery ?
For me charging:
- from 10% to 80% - 1h 5min..
- from 10% to 100% - 1h 59m..
Checked it by AccuBattery app.
I use 5V 2A/9V 2A oryginal charger. Only that my phone has 5000 mAh of capacity, not 3750 mAh. My phone Honor 8X Max support fast charge, Honor 8X does not support fast charge.

Question 25W Charger taking 1H30 mins

Hi Guys
Got the S22 Plus in Snapdragon variant and the phone doesnt charge nearly as quick as reviews online taking 1 Hour 30 mins for me, and yes I have fast charging enabled on the battery settings
I have read couple of articles and seen few videos about it. It does take 1 hr 30 mins to get fully charge.
I'm using Charger came with my S20plus along with the cable came with S20plus.
My phone charges up in 1Hr 10min max.
It depends on the room temperature and the phone temperature also I think.
However buying a 45W charger for S22plus is a waste of money.
Nvm
Usually, those charging times they advertise are from 0-80%. The way lithium ion batteries charge, they all slow way down after 80% . After that you may as well be using a 5w charger.
Get 45w charger I usually getting around 40minutes to 90%+. you will see Super Fast Charging 2.0.. but since android 13 update I only see Super Fast Charging although it charge as fast
Honestly, I am using my laptop type C charger. It shows as fast charging and max it takes is 1 hr 15-20 mins for full charge. So I think you are good.
