Does anyone have problems with the touchscreen when the phone is charging? Mine goes crazy when I hit the screen sometimes, it simply opens up different icons than I click, I can't even slide the answer button when someone calls, I need to unplug it first... Should I send it to Samsung?
yes you should
Or at least RTFM.

I did and it says nothing about it. If you are that smart tell me what's wrong?
Anyone else? I simply don't want to RMA it if this is normal...
You don't have that glass screen protector do you?

Also is your charger a cheap ebay one or is it the one that came with the phone? Also does it work when you charge off usb?

I experienced this behaviour after using the cheap charger... So there is nothing wrong with phone ... Just use any branded charger..

Have you tried restarting the phone?
Was it like that straight out of the box?
Have you pulled the battery?

I have tried restarting the phone several times. The problem is basically when I switch to another ROM. I'm back to stock ROM now and everything works ok. But still sometimes on stock I click on top and it wants to click on bottom.
Really weird.

Is it plugged into the wall charger?
With some outlets, the wall charger can wack out the touchscreen.
Which ROM - we only have Cognition beta, CM7, and stock deodexed. If you flashed something from the I9100, who knows what it'll do.
It actually seems like the non oem charger+ usb debugging causes the wacky touchscreen...not the outlet..

I had it with an OEM charger combined with a Sears inverter.
I think it's anything that provides a noisy power supply interferes with the touchscreen controller.
Is there a way to calibrate the screen?
Sometimes mine will act possessed and have phantom touches. Alot of times I try to touch the back arrow, or the menu key and it registers the touch for one of the apps in my dock.

Is you device plugged into the charger when this happens?
On the Razr, the screen would sometimes act up when it was charging, but unplugging it solved the problem.
If it is when your charging then you have an incompatible charger
You need an 1 amp charger

no, this happens off & on without being on the charger

i have noticed this if there is a little bit of water on the screen or a moist part that it does that. the fix is to shut the screen off, dry it, and turn it back on again and you should be good
I also had problems with a 3rd party lockscreen (eg. GO Locker) causing the multitouch to be messed up, but that's probably not the problem you're having.
If your under warranty then send it in
It will only get worse

Even I changed the cable and chargers everything would solve the problem for couple of days then again back to square one...one peculiar thing was there was no knowing when it used to charge and when it used to stop there was no pattern to it...

Dude, i have the same problem as you. When my phone is plugged in, it takes forever to charge it and if i am using it when charging it will quickly discharge. Really annoying.
Slow charging
I think i have the same problem.
when i charge my phone over night, the battery is in the morning only 40-50%
I tried my old htc desire charger and the normal s3 charger, but it does not make any difference.
What can be the problem? my charger, battery or my phone itself?
FYI, I did a Kies update and that fixed my battery problem. Try it. It may work for you to.
it happened to me too
what I did was u changed my USB cable
it solved my problem
try this

a different good quality cable will solve the problem. I had a slow charging issue .changed to a Nokia sync cable .nd voila charges in the required speed

yes.. i guess whoever is encountering problem should try using the original cable and see if solve the problem.. mine does.. no choice..

Use Original Samsung cable or Nokia cable - that fixes most charging problems.
3rd party cables give a lot of problems...
Galaxy S3 Charging problem-disappointing and annoying
Dear All......HELP !!!
I bought a new S3 and i loved it.....everything was perfect...it was on ICS>
Now i have this problem since few weeks back....suddenly my S3 will not charge....sometimes only 3 to 4 % up whole night....very very slow.
Even the LED light is dim when charging.....
ALSO ...sometimes it is not charging then i unplug the cable from cell phone put it back.....its charges but after a few seconds it stops charging....worse when i connec to PC.
I tried twisting the cable....first i tought some problem in the connection point of cable to my phone....i changed cable nothing.....
is it hardware issue of my phone where it connects to charging cable or is it Jelly bean????
im really disappointed that how come a new phone (only 1.5 months old) can have this problem.....
PLEASE HELP ME.....I CANNOT CHARGE MY MOBILE.......from wall or USB....im starting to hate samsung ...although i used Galaxy S Plus...and loved it.....
Also my screen is less bright and yellowish than my wifes S3. i mean the white is not white is yellowish white (off white color)
Thanks please help
Most likely the Samsung charger, many faults reported.
S1/S2/ BlackBerry and many others work on the S3

What rom are you using? Are you using the stock wall charger and cable?
stock Rom have tried several. chargers

May have port damage ...
Did it get wet ?
Or get the charger cable pulled out of the port quickly or on an off angle ??
Just throwing a few ideas out there.
The charging flex cable being weak is a known issue for us...
Are you under warranty ??
Being stock, they should fix that...g
not under warranty .so u think i should get the whole charging port replaced

In a nut shell ...yes
Charging issues are difficult to diagnose, as you are working with multiple components to begin with.
But if different cables and chargers are tested, and fail to improve the conditions, then you are left with the device as the cause.
Additionally, if the device is unmodified, either by software or hardware that generally affects it's function, then hardware is the remainder.
Charging port is the probable cause ...IMHO ....g

Its not to difficult to change it out I bought mine from cellphonerepairshop.com got the OEM flex cable took about 20 minutes to open it up and change it theres tutorial videos on youtube if you are off contract I would suggest that.
Before you switch out any hardware, get a can of air, alcohol, and cotton swab.
Give the port a good cleaning.

Why is it not under warranty? It may not be under warranty through your carrier but it certainly is through samsung.

Great tip here ^^^^^^^^.....
Thanks ranger ....g
If you dont want to replace the port you can get another battery and a wall charger, works like a charm
I agree. I like my 2700ma batteries and charger. For long days I bring the extra battery. The rig was super cheap too, but good quality.
I've had charging troubles as well
About a month after I first received my note I went to charge it (wall outlet, original adapter/cable, as well as stock ROM no root) and it refused
to charge. Restarting twice solved the problem, but still, every so often, my note will refuse to charge and I am unsure why. When it refuses to charge, it wont accept any charging cable (I check to make sure each is clean) although the phone works normally. Is this a known issue on some devices?
Sounds like a battery problem.
after some more searching around, it seems it was the battery causing my troubles, thanks for the tip! ordered a new one, it'll be good to have a backup battery

I hope you're playing around.
You were given several suggestions ranging from cleaning the port to replacing the port - did any of them work?
I'm glad one person got his solution with battery replacement. But thats not stealing. Stealing would be several members turning the thread into a discussion about multiwindows or bricking by flashing an N7000 kernel.
We're on task and waiting for your update. . .
Still not fixed got my usb port changed and still nothing won't charge unless u turn iy off

Hey
I have aproblem that is so strange!
For example when I turn off my mobile it restarts!
Even if I pull out the battery and put it in it just power on automatically! !
Sometimes if the phone successfully was turent off, when I press any button it indicates that it is charging!
And now the battery is full even though am using it for around 2hrs
So my question is: is it a phone hardware or battery issue?

as i said it just went away after a while i think the problem is being caused by overcharge, so when u keep charging it to 95% the voltages come back to normal.
In other words charge it till 95% for like 10 charges and it will be fixed.
Well gonna try and reply back thanks
