The Samsung Galaxy 1 needed about one minute of charging when completely empty, or boot would often fail. | |
| Nov 28, 2015 at 11:50 | comment | added | Izzy | @q126y That's correct. And the Android device knowong when it's charged (and even from what power source) just confirms my previous comment: if charge-while-use would be really that harmful, it would be prevented (at leas on devices with no removable battery – on others one could argue manufacturers speculate on "specific sales" that way ;) Remember: often, even the battery falls into the 2 years warranty. Do you think manufacturers would take big chances here? So either the harm is "calculable" – or it's "ignorable". In both cases it must be minimal at worst. | |
| Nov 28, 2015 at 9:21 | comment | added | q126y | @Izzy and Android devices know if it is being charged from charger or USB, still we cannot say, "obviously" that device runs on battery when connected to charger. :P | |
| Nov 28, 2015 at 0:14 | comment | added | Izzy | @q126y if that were the case, USB charging would be turned off by default when an ADB connection is detected. Thousands of developers use their devices this way. And as I wrote in another comment: My device with best battery endurance currently is my 2010 Milestone² – which I always charged while turned on. It still uses its original battery. While I write this, it's charge is at 82% – after being on battery (power disconnected) for ~18h today. The only devices I mostly charge while switched off are two of my tablets which I rarely use; one even is almost permanently connected & running ;) | |

| Nov 27, 2015 at 13:43 | comment | added | Firelord♦ | @Alex.S IMO that comment suits the question not the answer here. OP simply doesn't understand the obvious stuff, otherwise, the question wouldn't have existed at first place. It is only to explain the obvious stuff that he example was needed. Of course, the poster would explain the situation better here. | |
