Install a custom kernel and increase charging current. BTW, battery lasts shorter when you decrease charging time.

Second option is go buy a Sony phone.

My one x drains the battery quicker then it charges when i play games at the same time..so charging time will be affected if you do stuff with the phone at the same time

This week i was able to test a full charge from 2% to 96% took 2 hours on AC charger .Yes i know the next 4% may take another hour to trickle charge .

Unusual for me to do a full charge as i prefer not to drain battery for longer life .

I am planning to buy either of the 2 phones. I have a nexus S currently which also suffers from slow charging.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambler_3:
There was never such a kernel for the nexus S so I didnt knew that there are kernels which can do that. In any case I like to stick to stock kernel until the phone gets outdated so buying either S3 or nexus 4 I would not like to have custom kernel.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kofiaa:
So where are you getting your figures from? An iPhone has a smaller battery yet you compare charge times. All the phone you compare have small batteries. And honestly, they are all terrible phones in comparison to an s3 or n4.

You need to read more about how batteries charge, and the difficulty it takes in even charging from 90-100%.

Enjoy using the phone instead of complaining about something so trivial like charging times. Or better yet buy an iPhone 5 and have high speed charging times.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Basil3:
Having come from one X, the S3 has better battery life and definitely faster charging....two of the things that annoyed me about the one x. If only the S3 had the one x screen....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambler_3:
iphone has 40% smaller battery than N4 and yet charges in one third the time, its not hard to figure out that N4 has slow charging. From the looks of this thread I am not sure whether S3 has slow charging or not. :S

You also have sony xperia S with 1850mah battery that charges very fast. And it was NOT about 100% charge but even lets say 10-90%. I know batteries hardly get 100% charged ever.

Fir my phone it takes 30 minutes to charge 25% so roughly 2:10 mins from from 0 to 100.

I've noticed that from 100-90% lol it takes 10 minutes I've notices the same **** with S2 aswell.

Buy a Note 2. Seriously awesome battery life. I'm on the 12 hour now with 88% screen use and have 37% remaining. :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _neutron_:
I fail to see the point of this thread

Its a complaint that no one on this forum can do anything about

Why havent you sent this complaint to Samsung? Surely its for them to fix

You seem to be the only one with this issue so you obviously have a faulty battery. Just return it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blue1k:
As mentioned before the slow charge is there to preserve battery longevity.

Don't like it or care then install siyah kernel and change the ac charge from 1000mA to 1200mA in the included STweaks app. I did that, and the phone charges super fast now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaynpayn:
Phone seems fine to me. Can't really tell exactly but a full charge takes maybe about 1h from a wall charger. From a USB port takes a lot longer. Up to this point, it's basic laws of physics and maths. But if it bothers you enough you can always flash siyah kernel (or other supporting) and increase the charge current your phone expects from your sources. Do this at your own risk since it should be obvious in the first place if it's not faster already there's surely a good reason behind it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kremata:
Siyah kernel gives you the options to change the mah to charge you phone. Default is 1000mah(AC) but I change it to 800 for slower charge. So I really don't understand the complain. BTW the iphone 4 doesn't have a 2100ma battery so you can't compare.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romwhacked:
Its called trickle charging my friend...batt lasts longer
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wshyang:
Nice try troll, so we are to blame because YOU in your idioticity wants to charge your phone besides your pillow while you sleep?

And your magical iPhone is going to pull out unicorn electrons out of thin air when in fact it is not possible? Keep stating your anecdotal experiences as though it is fact. But we have already explained to you clearly that it is not possible for your iPhone to "fully" charge at 500mah in an hour.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KMino:
Let's not forget you can change the battery in the Samsung and you can't in the Apple.

Wonder what OP has up his sleeve next?

The benefits of Foxconn electronics and there supreme quality? LULZ

My Note 2.

Takes less than 2.5 hours to fully change it .

Up to 9ish hours of screen time on.

I'm happy.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hefonthefjords:
If you knew what you were doing you can charge an s3 from flat dead to full blast in half an hour.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aydc:
Just use a custom kernel that increases charge rate. Other phones may charge faster out of the box, but most other phones don't have this much development support to fix problems like this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
And of course if you'd increase the charging speed too far - do not forget to book your place in this fabulous thread :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drgekkoo:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambler_3:
Okay guys I just personally tested it and the charging speed of S3 is not that bad at all. So I suppose Samsung has actually improved on this and this thread is useless. :banghead:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] KingDavid63:
I was on rooted stock jellybean with jellybean bootloader and tried to flag twrp recovery with terminal emulator way that they describe in their page but didn't recommend. Anyways I've done it like that every time a new version of twrp comes out, anyways now I restart and it gets stuck at first screen where nvidia logo is in bottom right and device is unlocked in top left.

It will not go into fastboot or recovery, I did do the nvflash thing when I was on ics and have all my back up files for nvflash and my computer is picking it up in nvflash mode, if someone would please help me get this thing up and running iv would greatly appreciate it, maybe even donate, I just don't know the steps or nvflash commands to get it right.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Xhyperion:
I haven't posted in a while but my phone is still solid on 3.8 Darkside. Ive used nothing but Darkside since he started development. What happened to the dev? It feels strange using an awesome rom that isnt even in the dev section anymore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kentfor:
TDJ moved on. Remember our valued devs are volunteers and hobbyists, and it's to be expected that they will come and go.

But there is an awesome group of devs active on the T989 today, and many excellent ROMS to select from.

I'd recommend that you nandroid your trusty Darkside, then try a clean install of JB. Flash your way through a series of CM, AOKP, and various kangs.

I will be extremely surprised if you don't find a new favorite. The aesthetics, responsiveness and features of the ROMs out today far exceed where we were even back in the summer.

Nandroid is your friend. Go play.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mrimage:
Darkside rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] perknite:
You can actually search sourceforge.net for thederekjay to find his last build.

I had to Odin back to stock after a nameless recovery screwed my phone up for the second time (nothing I flashed would work right). I remembered how much I liked Darkside Evolution and decided to search for it and try it again. It has to be the most stable custom ROM to date. It obviously doesn't have the bells and whistles that the others do, but everything just works. It also looks sweet if you slap Touch0Color and TouchWiz UX on top of it (both are still in the apps and themes section).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Darkside Evolution v8 is still my go to touchwiz ROM. Love it. Can't stand the crop of TW ROMs we have now. No offense to anyone.

I just started using it after all the crappy battery and various problems from some of the JB Roms. Ive used them all I think. Slim beans awesome as far as battery goes and liquid smooth but each still have graphical glitches. 3.8 is the way to go its by far the most reliable TW Rom we got with bulletproof a close second IMO.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jcnbama:
I just recently committed to making the switch. I was on Darkside v. 8. I am now using Infamous Resurrection Gangnam Style. Great Touchwiz basedRom. Good battery life. No lags. And it's still active so lots of support etc for this rom.
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
It's been 8 days since I got my N4, and I've spent a full week of sixth form college using it. (Like the last two years of high school for you non-Brits.) In my case, it's been fantastic. I love it.

Hell, it even helped me get a girls number. I just met her, was talking to her for a bit, whipped out my N4 to check the time and she grabbed it off me in awe and added her number to my contacts :D

One of the main things on my mind was how tough the gorilla glass actually was. And I can say, it is in perfect condition. No scratches or marks whatsoever, but I have been very careful with it.

In Cambridge I get a decent HSPA signal and generally fast speeds. No HSPA+ on giffgaff though :( I listen to music on the bus and the audio quality is great, maybe on par with an iPod/iPhone. (Yes, you can tell the difference with a cheap Android phone and an iDevice.) The speaker is mediocre though, and the volume is severely reduced when placed on a flat surface.

The screen is wonderful, I haven't noticed any yellow tint or washed out colours like some people say. The way the glass curves off to the edge is magnificent, and really makes a significant difference in interacting with the phone.

On the topic of the screen, the glass itself feels very premium. It's smooth to the touch and is the most oleophobic screen I've used. The phone feels like it should be priced much higher.

The reflective back is very tasteful, it never looks tacky. A lot of the time it's just black and looks great. The camera is better than expected, it produced good photos.

Performance is good, I've had very few slow downs and games play at a high FPS. Chrome being the stock browser doesn't bother me, it holds up very well when browsing. The only difference you'll notice will be in benchmarks. There isn't really much to say about 4.2, I'm sure you're all aware of it's features. My only gripe is that the quick settings aren't toggles, they're just shortcuts.

Battery life is well.. meh. It's enough to hold up my day of moderate use (taken off charge at 6:30AM, get home about 5:15PM), but it's normally less than 15% by then. I would've liked something that could hold up for a bit longer.

I have also found that WiFi signal seems to be worse than previous devices I've owned, but I'm just looking for something to complain about now.

Overall, it's great. In my opinion, taking into the fact that it's a Nexus device, it's the best phone on the market. My friends seem to like it too, no one I've talked to so far knew what it was, but they're definitely interested in it. One of my buddies insist that I give it to him for his birthday :highfive:

For you guys who also have the phone, what do you think of it? And what have other people said about your new treasure? Feel free to ask any questions too :)
[Nexus 4 General] Net.silb:
I like your summary!

I'm getting mine on Monday when my dad brings it with him from the U.S! :)

I think that most of the issues will be resolved in 4.2.1 (maybe even bringing LTE), making this a nearly perfect phone!!!
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
Thanks! That's awesome, you're gonna love it. I sure hope so :)

For me, LTE isn't really on the agenda due to it's scarcity and price in the UK, but it would definitely make this phone more future proof :D
[Nexus 4 General] chrisjcks:

I don't have the n4 but have used the new DC HSDPA on o2 as a trial and compared to what we have now its a vast improvement. Lte in the UK is not going to be a game changer until at least this time next year when prices come down, network coverage is better and the initial issues are worked through. I would love lte on the nexus 4 just for future proofing like the op says but in the UK it really serves no purpose. So glad your enjoying your phone and I would put money on it that as long as its not protected by copyright Google will change the quick settings to toggles on the next update as its one thing everyone wishes was different

Do you have any screenshots from your trial of DC-HSDPA on o2 in the UK?
[Nexus 4 General] FallN:
Nice write up. :thumbup:

I've had my nexus 4 for 6 days and I'm loving it too. I agree with everything you said. It's a great piece of kit but the battery life is disappointing even after about 6 full charging cycles.

Standby, it does a great job but God forbid you actually use the device, screen on. You can actually watch the battery meter tick down every 2-3 minutes right before your very eyes! That's without GPS or cellular data or anything processor intensive. Just WiFi on looking at the screen. And that's at its lowest brightness setting! Very disappointed...

The sound is mediocre. The speaker can get distorted at highest volumes but that's to be expected I guess...

The screen is gorgeous. I compared it to my iPhone and it's just killer. There isn't a pixel or jaggy to be seen anywhere! It looks like the screen is resting on top of the glass, not underneath it.

The clarity is stellar. Pictures that you see online and videos don't do it justice. You have to see the screen up close in real life for yourself.

HD videos just pop right off it! Excellent job on the screen's clarity, LG. :thumbup:

With that said, I notice the colors aren't as saturated BUT the other screen is super saturated, almost candy colored. The nexus 4 is more true to life with regard to color representation so that's not a knock against the N4's screen, its a plus. I don't like fake looking, over saturated candy colors so it's perfect for me so far! :D

The phone feels so premium. I still can't believe LG and Google were able to pull this off at this price point!

The curved glass feels so buttery smooth and organic. I love the gently curved edges. So much so that I wish the back was curved too! It just feels that good in the hand.

The front factory screen protector kinda peeled itself off while in my pocket so I've been using it completely naked while I waited for my Skinomi full body protector to arrive in the mail.

I can say, thus far, the screen has held up amazingly well. There isn't a single scratch, nick, dent or scuff to be found anywhere on the screen or the body of the device. It looks factory new. Very encouraging.

I did finally get my screen protectors in the mail today but I love the naked feel of the device so much that I'm going to hold off putting it on for just a little longer, lol. :D

I'm doing some testing with the camera. So far the actual quality isn't anything spectacular. It's "adequate". I'll do more testing before passing final judgment on it though.

So far, overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with this phone. I think once I get a wireless charger, it will solve my battery issues because every time I put it down, I'll be laying it on the charging mat so it would stay almost perpetually topped up. :)

[Nexus 4 General] nafpez:
Well.....yeah! It will be, the speaker is being covered. Just find something to put underneath it, so theres enough room for the sound to bounce off the surface, improves the volume and sound quality quite a bit!
[Nexus 4 General] Vanhoud:
I've had my N4 since Tuesday and I have nothing but absolute praise. Extremely fast especially compared to my gnex and the screen is fantastic. I must admit that I was a bit bummed out at first with the color saturation coming from the gnex,however , it only took a day to get accustomed to it.now when I look at my wife's gnex I can't believe I thought that screen was good before,I can hardly look at it anymore lol

[Nexus 4 General] Kenneth131:
No I don't have any screen shots it was just a closed trial to see how well the signal held up in different structures etc. It is great but when more people are using it just like anything else it will slowly grind to a slow pace leaving us wanting for more. I dream of the day we go beyond 4G and have wireless homes. And they call me a mad man of futuristic dreams lol
