The gfs s5 is so slow at charging. After 2 hour charge it only goes up by 20/30%, I'm guessing this isn't normal? It is being charge by wall socket and not pc/laptop.

Mine charges painfully slow on anything except for the charger that came with it. Last night I plugged it into that stock charger at 15%, cooked my kids mac and cheese, emptied the dishwasher and I was at 86% when I unplugged it maybe 30-45 minutes later. Was very impressed. However when using a car charger it absolutely sucks. Sometimes I will actually lose percentages if I am on it while charging lol.

Check the amps on your car charger. Some of them are very low and won't keep up while using GPS or Music apps. The bigger amp chargers are a little more money sometimes but well worth it.Mine charges painfully slow on anything except for the charger that came with it.

these showed up at my house yesterday, have not had a chance to play with them. knew i needed something because my old car charger kept up at best. they also have a corded version, but couldn't get a straight answer about cord length.
just tested for 10 minutes, old usb2 cable, charging rate a tic over 1% per minute, twice what my old one did. cant speak on reliability or anything.
i average a tic under 1% per minute. this adapter rocks too!!! (same speed as the oe adapter with usb 2 or 3 cables)

hope this helps
I've just finished testing my battery for usage and charging time, the usage for depleting the battery was playing with the different camera and video modes, browsing the internet, watching live streaming tv, listenting to the radio, watching YouTube videos and general messing around with the phone and settings etc, it went from 100% to 1% after 22 hours, 44 minutes and 36 seconds of use.
I then plugged it in to charge with 1% left on it, I'm using the charger that came with the phone, it took 1 hour, 45 minutes to get back up to 100%
These were the charging times if of any interest:
37% after 30 minutes of charging
71% after 60 minutes of charging
95% after 90 minutes of charging
97% after 95 minutes of charging
98% after 100 minutes of charging
100% after 105 minutes of charging
Just ordered both of these. Much appreciated. I actually had yet desktop charger in my cart for a while but just pulled the trigger!

I'm seeing the SLOW charge too.
Put it on charge before going to bed at around 10pm. It was at 20%. Now, at 3:30am, it's only at 45%.
I'm using the charge cord that came with the phone, plugged into the USB port on the laptop. I'll try using the wall charger to see if that helps, but that would be a real PITA to have to do all the time.

That's the normal time to charge using a regular USB port on a Computer or a Laptop, if you were to use the wall charger that is a 2.0 amp charger using the 3.0 USB cable you will see that it charges your device a lot faster, I've charged my from 1% to 100% in about 1.5 hours.
If you are forced to use the Laptop, then at least find if your laptop has a 3.0 USB port and together with your OEM Cable you will see that it charges a lot faster than with a regular USB port.
