How long should the Samsung galaxy note 2 take to charge?

Q. Idk if im being paranoid but it seems like my note 2 is taking longer to charge. From 15% it took around 3 hours to get to 96%. Is that norma or is my phone taking too longnto to charge? .

A. I also have a Galaxy Note 2... and the time it takes depends....

Are you plugging in your phone directly into a wall outlet or into the USB Port on your computer. From my experience, it's quicker if you use the wall outlet.

Another important factor is this... Is your phone turned on or off during the charge. You do realize that if it's turned on.. the charge will take 2-3 times longer because the phone is currently active and in use. One trick you can try is to put your phone into Airplane Mode if you need a faster charge. That will turn off all internal radios. Another trick you can try would be to go into your Notification Screen (swipe down from any home screen)... and select Power Saving Mode. ..that will reduce power consumption and allow your phone to charge faster.

Also, I noticed the Note 2 is very power hungry (when I first got my phone). I went into the settings and made some adjustments... mostly with the S Pen... now my phone usually lasts 2.5 days between charges.
