Less than a day for me. What I did was charge the phone until the indicator turned green, then unplugged it for a minute or so and charged it again. I repeated that process until the indicator went green within a couple minutes from plugging it in. Haven't seen anything less than 90% since. I believe this "fixes" the meter so it knows what a full charge really is without a monumental effort, and it won't hurt the battery since it has internal circuitry to deal with it. Modern Li-ion batteries are far less fragile than most people think, but it is true that the "best" charge level for them is ~80%, not 100%.
