to long to charge

[shaunza2010]

my phone is taking to long to charge, I've performed a factory reset, and no improvement, it's taking at least 2/3 hours to charge, and that's me not using it, it charges a little quicker if I put it in airplane mode, do you think I have a problem with battery

It might be a battery issue. My phone charges quite quickly! I'm actually impressed how fast it charges!

how are you charging your phone ? with the dock? wall charger? or a computer?, if the later, it will take quite a while

Also depends a lot on what processes/apps are running in the background while you charge (that's why it's quicker when the phone is in flight mode - no network scanning).

using original wall charger, I've checked power management and it's telling me that media is using 45% of power compare to screen using 37% power, weird as when i check this media is never there and screen is always top, I've removed all my apps from home screen and made sure no apps are running in the background, then I will update my results

Hey. Well, as far as I noticed for my Xperia Z, it only takes a couple of hours max to charge. However, if you have your wireless connection on, GPS on, and other apps running, the charging time will be longer.

My original charger's output is 1500 mA, while the battery of the phone has 2330 mA. That means that it should charge in less than 2 hours if no apps are running on the phone. :smileygrin:

A bit more than 2 hours is normal. More than 3 isn't.
