How is it with the no quick charge?

[Almeuit]

So how bad is it really without this feature? Is your phone taking years to charge or is it just another half hour? Just curious to hear real owners thoughts .

With my iphone, i wake up, walk to work and listen to music, get to work, and for the next twelve hours id listen to music, text and send off emails. I would have to have my phone on the stereo dock to charge for most of the day if i wanted some battery to have music on the way home from work. With my One, i do the exact same thing, without the need to charge all day long, and when i get home i still have between 10 and 40 percent battery life depending on my usage for the day, and then i fall asleep and let the phone charge while i sleep. I cannot attest to how much longer it takes, but i can tell you that my phone lasts long enough during the day that when it does come to charging it, i personally dont know a difference, although i know one does exist.

95% of the time I only charge it overnight, for which a faster charge time is not relavent.

The other 5% of the time I don't need a full charge, and an hour charge is plenty to add 4 or 5 hours of up time.

It would be great if I could fast charge but the reality is that it just doesn't matter.

I did a comparison yesterday with my GS4. HONESTLY I saw little difference between the two. In fact the GS4 seemed to take longer from 90%-100%

It's annoying, but not a deal breaker. I just spend a lot more time below 50% than I'm used to, but I still make it through the day without issues.

Haven't had to charge it many times throughout the day, mostly charging at night. So not having quick charge hasn't been a problem.... Yet.

Also, I have noticed it takes longer to charge if you are not using the charger that came with the phone.

Nice! Glad to hear it isn't really an issue. Thanks guys .

I get 5-6 hours sleep before work so as long as it's charged, I'm not worried about Charging Times. I compared it to my S4 last night and the One took an hour longer using the OEM.

I drained it until it shut down just to see how long it took to charge to 100%. It took almost 4 hours but the last 10% took the longest (little over an hour). So 0 to 90% in a little under 3 hours. Like most I charge it at night so no problem here.

My only gripe is that charging in my car while using waze burns battery faster than it charges.

You need a better charger then.

No. The One really does charge THAT slow. I can only keep it from draining when it is charging and I'm using navigation. If I played music on my One while using it with navigation it would burn faster than the charge.

So suggest one and I'll try it out I guess

Mine wouldnt charge while navigating either. My workaround is to cut the screen off and just listen to the voice navigation. It works, charge time this way is reasonable.

There was a thread earlier where Adrian something went through the same issue and finally found one on amazon that charged. I don't know which one it was, but it had a 2 amp and a 1 amp out put. He used the 2 amp slot i believe.

Takes about 3.5 hours. Not an issue for me since I'm getting great battery life and easily getting through the day. I only charge over night, so the amount of time it takes becomes a non issue.

Anyone know what the built in usb port on a 2013 Toyota Tacoma puts out? I assume not much.
