It takes me about 2.5 hours to 3 hours for fully charged. It depends on amperage/voltage.
yeah. mine took about 3 hours++ as well. Initially, i got enabled the Live wallpaper, it took me ages (nearly 5-6 hours) to get 100%. The live wallpaper also draining my battery super fast. So i got fed up and disable the live wallpaper, it seems charging time is shorter and battery life is dramatically increase from 14 hours to 20 hours++.
takes me about 3 hours to charge wired, and about 3.5-4 hours to fully charge on Qi
Hello Experts,
I received a new nexus 4 and noticed that it takes around 3.5 to 4 hrs for complete charging from 5% to 100%.... is it normal? my other sony xperia seems to be charge in about 1..5 hr
since i am new to Nexus 4, not sure what is the avg charge time and should i call for RMA? Please let me know what is the avg time for charging.
thx

Perfectly normal. You want a nice slow steady charge, especially in a sealed phone. The battery needs to last as long as possible. Fast charging batteries significantly reduces their lifespan. My old Nexus S takes the same amount of time to charge from 5%.. 3-4hrs or so give or take.. I still have the two year old original battery and it holds a charge just as well as it did the day I bought it. Meanwhile my 15 minute charge AA batteries I bought last year lose their charge in a week just sitting on the desk.
Mine is just about the same, but that's under use. If I don't touch the phone, it typically charges to 100% in about an hour.
And if it's through USB.. um.. more like 8 hours to fully charge.
Battery widget reborn (awesome app btw) says my phone usually charges in about 2.5 hours. This is on Qi though not sure about the regular wall charger.
2-2.5 hours for me on usb wall charger and Qi Orb.

From 2 hr 45 min (from around 12-15% juice left), my charge time has reached to 3 hr 30 mins now (i.e. from 1% juice left)... 14% juice wouldn't make such a huge difference so don't really know why it increased..

yes, this is one of the reasons i started this thread to understand what everyone is experiencing.... i called up the google customer support and they are ready to send in a RMA as it appears to be a higher side...
so let me know your thoughts guys...should 3.5 hrs charge time considered high and warrant a RMA? share your thoughts.
^ Hmmm.. I doubt if this would mean anything serious or worth RMA-ing. I can but I won't RMA my device because it's been exceptional so far. I am fairly happy with it and wouldn't want to get it replaced with a defected one.
Its perfectly normal especially from around 5% to 100%.. In my experience if you dont let it get below 20% it usually charges faster. I wouldnt RMA it especially if your phone is perfectly fine in other aspects.
I tried with a different charger yesterday and it took similar time. The charger has same voltage input levels.
You charge 3 hours, for only double the lifetime. How pathetic, actually. I didn't thought that the battery life would be that bad. I can hardly make trough 1 day, if I play some games, make some calls, and use a little bit of internet. On the last charge I got 4Hours of screen on time with 15% left.
Gosh, at least it's fun to use it. :/
Anyone have concerns about using the turbo charger?
It works great. Took a shower while charging and went from 14% to around 70%. It does however get pretty warm which I worry could adversely affect the lifespan of the battery.

Wow, how long was your shower? I went from 0% to about 15% in 15 minutes. Mine also got pretty warm, but assuming the battery does last for 48 hrs, 15% should last just under 8 hrs. We'll see how it works though.
Haha anyone look at the specs on the charger?
My old peepers need a magnifying glass but I noticed three modes with different voltages.
It goes up to 12V out at 1.2A
I don't think I will be putting this on another device. If the switcher gets confused and applies 12V to a standard 5V USB device, something very bad will most likely happen!

How long was your shower I went from 1% to %25 in 30 mins with the charger included
I noticed the phone getting a little warm while on the turbo charger as well. Also, found out last night that it does not matter what cable you use, it still does a turbo charge with any cable. Last thing I found out was that the turbo charger will turbo charge a note 4 as well and the samsung advanced charger (their version of the turbo charge) will turbo charge my phone too.

So you've observed that "motorola turbo charge" is just a rebranding of "qualcomm quick charge"....
It does heat the phone up a bit, left on charger for about ten minutes went from 45 to 65 percent in no time.

How long is it taking everyone for a full charge? Also last it went from 1% - %25 took about 30min is that normal for Turbo?
Can't put it down to charge! I'm letting it gain about ten percentage points before I unplug and play.
It does cool down rather fast.
The nylon isn't as grippy as I first thought, wasn't planning on a case but it might be in the cards, too bad because the turbo is really sexy naked!

Mine took 1 hour 55 minutes to go from 22% to 100%, with a few screen wakes in there for a couple texts that came in. It went from 22% to 44% in about 20 minutes. Mine got pretty warm, but once it hit ~75% it started cooling down, and the charge rate dropped, as it should.
In terms of being worried, a faster charge time from higher voltage is actually good for a lithium battery. The extra volts allows the charge to penetrate deeper, quicker, and more completely saturate the entire battery cell. Will this generate increased heat? Yes, of course. But the battery is going to have a thermal shut off built in to it that prevents any damage from occurring, and in general our idea of 'hot' is far bellow the batteries' idea of 'hot'.
Not too wooried
I have been charging my Droid Razr Maxx since I got it with the ASUS charger for my Nexus 7. It made a big difference in charging times for me. Before purchasing the Turbo, my battery life was still lasting 2 to 3 days with normal use. I doubt this technology is causing the battery to degrade at a fast enough rate for any of us to notice.
Looking at the turbo charger, it's not simply a high output charger like you get on some phones, such as the 2A chargers, but it outputs at almost double the voltage as well, 9V vs 5V.

Hah. I should clarify. My intent was to let it charge while I shower but I tend to get caught up watching youtube or looking at reddit before I shower. The total time on charger was 35-40 minutes.
Mine charges at about 1% per minute. I only got to charge it once though so maybe the battery needs to be calibrated or whatever.
Phone started at 50% when I purchased it. Ran with HEAVY usage until about 7:30. Put it on charger with 4% battery remaining. At ~9:15 it was fully charged. More heavy usage until ~Midnight, battery was at 60%. Woke up with 55%, drained it to 43%, threw it on charge for ~20 minutes and it was at 67%. Low usage since, and its at 60%. So theres that.

Haha, yes. I just couldn't remember the name.
To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Note5 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Phone isint charging past 1000 mA on stock cable. However using one from PS4 is giving full 1800-2000 mA! Did I get a faulty cable by any chance ? N920C
This is the fastest charging phone ever! During the days where I use the phone heavily, it will drop to about 15-20% around 4 PM, my day starts at 5 AM. That's when I unplug my phone also. So great battery life for me. It will charge from 10% to 100% in about 1 hr or just slightly more. Can't complain about it, it a great feature.
lol just plug my phone in, went to starbucks come back at 80% from 39% in around 30-40 min
I got the phone down to 1% and it took 1 hour 36 mins to charge to 100%

Driving me crazy
i have to try at least 5-7 times to get it into fast charging mod
otherwise it will keep charge normaly

Just switch the cable, had that problem.
The cable that i got with the phone is garbage, any other one will do the trick.
Charges as fast or faster than my S6 did, which is awesome since the battery is bigger. IF I use it heavily throughout the day and get it below 50% I'll throw it on the fast charger (wired) while doing dishes or something and I get almost 2%/min. 10 minutes will get me almost 20% more battery and I'm golden for the rest of the day with heavy use (CoC attacks all night lol)

1h 10min or 1h 20mins fully charged everytime.
Wireless Fast Charger
Got 2 wireless chargers. 1 from Costco when i got the note 5 and the other when i activated samsung pay. Sold them both for 20 each and bought the fast charger. Less sensitive when looking for that "sweet spot" and seems to charge just as fast as factory cable. About an hour and twenty minutes to charge fully. Battery lasts pretty good on stock even before using package disabler pro.
A little over an hour here for me for a full charge.
charging speed is very fast. from 20% in just few minutes charged goes up to 50%. from drained battery to full charge takes about 1 hour and 20 mins. looking for suggestions for good power bank with wireless charging capability for this phone.
awesome speed
Deep sleep issue
1 hour 13 min

The Pleson wireless fast charge that I bought on Amazon for 18 dollars charges my phone in a little less than 75 minutes from 5% to 100%.. The phone does get a little hot though.
You guys talk about charging time while Fast Charge features enabled.
How about normal charge ?
I was disabled fast charge feature and tried to plug my phone to my charge. It took me more than 4 hours to fully charged from 15% of battery.
why waste time with regular charging when it takes 1hr 11 min to 100% from 15%....charging with phone off.
if you charge while on the phone is on & continually updating social media, email, stocks/bonds/financial, it'll take a long time, if you ever see 100%.
I don't fully deplete my battery anymore, since it's not replaceable. When I had the note 3 with another spare battery and usb 3.0 wire charger I got it down it like 10% than charge. Life is a little different on the note 5. I have to charge my phone while at work, at least once a day sometimes 2 times if I'm heavily using my phone. Just the combination of bad 3g service here at work and Really good 4G LTE service, in certain areas, brings my battery performance down. But no problem, I have fast wired charger, from 20% to 100% in about 1 hour and 10 mins while the phone is on and even faster with the phone off. At home, I have fast wireless charger which I use, right before I sleep when I don't need a fast charge. A little slower than the fast wired charger, but 20% to 100% in 1 hour and 30 mins. I also have a non fast wireless charger but it's sort of useless. It only works will with my brother's s6 and now his s7.
First off dash charging ,I charged to 100% before use ,used it until 63% ,then was going out so took my old phone and put the 6t on charge it took nearly an hour to get to 100%

Ever noticed that dash charge charging times are given like : 60% in 35 minutes and not 100% in x minutes? Why? To prevent damage to battery. It's around 45-50 minutes from 60% to 100% cause it steps down the amperage.
