Micromax Doodle 2 (A240) Takes 4 Hours To Charge Completely! is it Normal?

[Tushar Gupta 13]

I recently bought micromax doodle and it is a great phone with extreemely good display, battery and touch but one problem I am facing is with charging time of the phone it takes about 4 hours to compleately charge the phone. I want know weather there is someting wrong with my handset or it is normal for this handset as many of my relatives are using canvas 2 and canvas 4 and both the phones get fully charged in 1.5 hours.

the issue is most likely with the charger.

also things vary if you charge the device through usb port of pc/laptop.

or if you attempt charging with other chargers then which came along with your

product as the amp and voltage are different.

There are 3 pins provided for wireless charging at the back of phone does any one know about good wireless charger and provide link from where i can buy that if possible.

you can use any charger for wired charger, but you should match the original amp output ,

Try to Use 2 amp Charger (usually comes with tablet ) , It will charge your battery fast.

Charging Basics

Usually battery charging takes Battery Ampere / Charger Ampere, you have to add some losses to it, so if battery is say 2000 mA and charger is of 1000 mA, then it will take 2 hours to 2.5 hours max. Assuming phone is consuming very little battery while charging.

You charging cable also plays vital role as USB can deliver only 500 mA, hence data cable has current limiting resistors for over current protection (I am talking about data cable, not DATA CUM CHARGING CABLES , which come along with phone like N2 or S3). . Hence if you want to charge battery faster, then you can try using cable which are having higher current capacity.

Those who are interested in testing above, can download galaxy charging current from play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free

This works on S3 and NOTE II, try changing cable from same charger and check charging current.

Charging Basics

Using a 2 amp charger will have any bad effect on battery life .

your phone is having 2600 mAh battery, company should have provided 2amp charger,

check if your charger is 2amp, and you are using original charger only.

even you can try 2amp samsung charger for one charge and see the difference is there or not.

Company has given me 1amp charger but i have aranger a charger of samsung galaxy tab lets see if it makes any difference in charging time

I used many android mobiles and tablets and all of them take approximately 3 hours to charge from 1-2% to 100% even if device is switched off.
