If it's four or three bars, you don't need to charge it. But once it is down to two, one, or even no bars of power, it needs to be charged.

Question

Do you charge the phone with it off or on?

Community Answer

You can charge it either way. It might charge slightly faster when powered off just because it's not using any power in the meantime.

Question

How long does it take to charge a phone battery?

Community Answer

Usually, it takes about 2-3 hours to fully charge a phone battery, but If the charger has a higher amperage, the battery will charge faster.

Calling people, texting, using Wi-Fi, and playing games uses up battery faster than simply having your phone on.
