So a few days ago I bought a brand new Samsung OEM battery and battery life is indeed better than what I had with the old one but I have a question that's bothering me. My phone charges for around 1h40mins from 0 to 100%. Is this ok? I'm on Nemesis Reborn v5 ROM using Espheni Kernel, fast charging is disabled in Kernel Audiutor app and I'm using a USB 2.0 cable with my original charger that came with the phone. Should I be worried that it says it needs only ~1h40mins to fully charge or it's fine? Worth noting is that it actually takes a bit longer than that, somewhere around 2 hours. But yeah, I don't know why it shows such a low estimate and am worried that something might not be ok. Any ideas? Right now I'm doing this just in case: https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-calibrate-the-battery-on-your-android-device#battery-issue

Hi again, my battery takes 1h50 to fully charge. This is what get the majority of users (search on youtube too, the S5 during charging tests takes the same time). I suggest you to enter *#0228* on your phone dialer (after unplugging the charger) and press "quick start"; then plug it again and charge to 100 %.

Those secret codes don't work for me xd
Hm, if you charge it for 1h50mins then I'm fine since I charge about the same time. I just thought it was longer a year or two ago but guess not, thanks :)

By the way how is your battery life (and the way of your usage) ?
