how long does it take to charge

[johnner1999]

Just curious if the evo 3d charged as quick as the photon or was it "normal-slower" like most android phones?

Mine takes about 2 hours to charge from 55% (or so) to 100%. Same as my earlier EVO 4G.
(not sure about the photon though)

From about 50% it takes mine about an hour. For complete disclosure's sake I should add that I am rooted on stock ROM, not that it should make a difference. Out of the box I noticed right away that battery life is twice as good as the EVO 4G, which I loved except for the fact that if I went to work and left my charger at home I was screwed. I can last a full 12 hours on the 3D on a full charge with moderate messaging, a few calls, playing music and coming to this site using full web browser

I think I reported before that it takes about an hour for half charge and a little over two after a complete drain. Of course since the last update, my phone lasts all day even with 2D game play...3D requires a charge closer to the end of the workday vs. not charging until I go to bed.

Update : Read up on how to calibrate my battery so I did it last night using the Battery Calibration application in the Market. You do have to be rooted. Started at 100%, then let it go all the way down overnight. From 15% this morning, I charged to 100% in an hour and a half, and that was while browsing and posting here. Thought this might be of interest.
