Very slow Charge time

[GCS88]

Hi everyone! I just got my Z1 last week and I noticed that the charge time was way slow compared to the other smartphones that I had its take almost 8-10hrs to charge full from a dead flat battery... is this normal??? Ive seen a couple of complains about it on the net seems like a fault...

Is this through a wall charger or a computer, if the later, that's normal, it will take quite a bit

computer will try it on a wall now and see if its better, i still find it wierd though that when i computer charge my lumia800 it only takes 2-3 hours for it to fully charge thanks for the suggestion though will try now and report back asap

Charging though USB port of PC is dependent on Power Output, The Current output of Z1 Charger is 1.5A while USB port of PC gives only 0.5A current output. Thats the reason for slow charging.

I'm having problems with my phone is taking 8 hours to charge I have tried differant chargers and leads but it doesn't seem to make a differance has anyone come across this issue?

Is this through a wall charger or a computer? are you using the Sony's usb cable ?

I'm using the iPad 12W charger, it still takes 3 hours. Perhaps this is due to the large battery in Z1.

Can we use 2 amp charger for z1 instead of 1.5 amp provided by the company ?
