Slow charge on the nexus 4?

[mattatwar1]

My nexus 4 charged for 8hr and is only at 70% (about 20% when plugged in)using stock charger that came in the box

I am seeing a few people now with that problem, I think it is another bug LG has to work out, could be assembly problem, could be a connection problem with battery to the charging part of the board, if I were you and anybody having any problems, call Google immediately and get a new phone, I am sure you will be able to keep this phone before receiving new phone, but I don't know Google way about this.

It does seem to take longer than normal on the Nexus 4 and 10. I haven't timed it yet but I don't think mine is charging as slow as the OP.

This is a problem I think with the Android software


I remember that my old iphone 4 would go 10 % higher in 5 ~ 10 minutes of charging


My galaxy Nexus would need 20 minutes to do that


Usually, my iPhone 4 took 45 ~ 60 minutes to fully charge from 0

My galaxy nexus would take 2 ~ 3 hours to fully charge


That is a thing google should work on, I think

I think its mainly hardware not software

That had to be something wrong with your phone. I went from 12% charge to 90% in 4 hours plugged into a laptop, would have been faster with the wall charger.

discharged my phone last night, left it discharged overnight, plugged it in around 8.30 and after about 3h or so it was on 100%

I am having the same problem. I plug the phone into the original charger before going to bed (the phone shows "Charging/AC") and in the morning the charge level is about 70%. It happened two nights in a row. I looked at the charging timeline (Settings->Battery) and I see that the charge goes up for about 3 hours and then the phone starts discharging by itself, even though the green bar at the bottom of the chart shows that the phone is still plugged in.

I called Google customer service and after going through several standard questions ("Did you have a power outage overnight?" ), the customer support rep said that it probably means that the battery is defective and that they would replace the phone. I already received the replacement paperwork.

I must say that even though purchasing the phone was a nightmare, the customer service is excellent so far.

I realize charging phones on computers isn't the best way of charging devices, but I noticed the battery percentage actually dropping while plugged in for awhile(half hour+) before beginning to slowly recharge(yes all apps closed on phone and screen off). Could be just inaccuracy on the battery % meter. Of course wall charging times is not bad.
