Charger NOT actually charging ... - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I connect wall charger to my galaxy i9100 it notify that charger is connected and charging indicator also tells that it is charging BUT it is NOT charging. THe battery level's going down as the time passed ....
But strangely when I connect it to my PC via USB cable it actually starts charging ...
There's nothing really running as some of u might be thinkin that an app might be using high CPU while charging ... but it is not the case as it is charging fine when connected to PC.
I think my wall charger is faulty... but if it is then why it shows charging when connected though its NOT charging the battery at all?
Any help???

Unit won't stop charging!

I have bought a second hand XDA and I am using a USB Sync charge cable to charge it. The problem I Have is that the unit doesn't stop charging and the battery pack (standard not extended) gets very hot.
If I disconnect the usb cable and reattach it after it has been charging for a long time the light goes green instantly and it stops charging but if I just leave the cable in it never goes green. The same does happen with the mains charger but I rarely use this.
I am fearing that this could cause the battery to become unusable in time.
Can anyone suggest what might be wrong?
Thanks
try another cable
Tried another USB cable - this one exhibits the same symptoms.
I tried my mains cable last night - that seems to charge fully, but then reverts to a flashing green led (mobile phone signal) instead of a constant one indicating it is fully charged.

Strange USB charging issue

So I went out and bought a 2nd USB cable to leave at work to charge my phone. But for some reason the USB cable I bought doesn't charge the phone...instead it drains the battery..??? The light is on and the icon shows it is charging when I have the USB cable connected and I can even mount the SDcard with it. But the battery percentage slowly goes down. The USB cable that came with the phone works fine without any issues.
Is there something special about the stock USB cable? Do I have to buy a certain type of cable to make charging work?
I bought another two cables, even used a Motorola USB cable but never noticed that... it never happened to me.
My guess is:
Fact:
- charging through the pc USB port is so slow, to get full charge you need 6-8 hours compared to 1.5-2 hours through the wall..
Scenario:
You are using your phone or running heavy application while charging it so it drains more battery than charging ..
Just a guess.

[Q] Battery Issue When Charging using Laptop & Wall Charger

Hey guys i just wanted to knw if ur phone lasts the same when charging using the laptop and using the wall charger bcoz mine is nearly 60% ie. lasts 40% less when i charge using wall charger.
Does anybody else is facing this too ??
That's an interesting observation, ill have too check. Though the laptop would be a slow charge and a cleaner regulated current due to the power regulator in the laptop's charger

yeah laptop charging is nearly half or less than half speed of wall charging ..
there is no difference between AC or USB power from a PC, but charging it with a PC takes a lot more time, because your USB port has not the power/current
i usually always use the wall charger it came with. But i remember that sometimes when i use any other charger it either wont even recognize the cable or not charge at all specially car chargers

[Q] Phone discharges when plugged in and doesnt charge

Phone discharges and does not charge when ON and plugged in.
The charger light glows even if it is jst connected to the phone and not to the power socket. Though the charging seems to work once the phone is switched off but jst charges upto 10% after which the animation turns blue and stops charging further. , also if trying to charge with USB via PC it says unrecognized device and the phone doesn't charge.
any solutions?
have tried different USB wires as have a cpl of more Androids at home but same issue with all wires.
I am using pure stock rom with no rooting or flashes done yet.
There was a solved thread in forum but for other rom.
