Hello I recently got a new Samsung gt-i9100 smartphone I had it updated and rooted to the XXLPS ICS 4.0.3 Firmware.
I have problem that the phone charges very slow like ~12% per hour with both the PC USB cable and the original wall charger.
I know that the phone supposed to charge very slow in USB mode however I've noticed that even when charging trough the wall charger the phone still charges in USB mode. (I can see it in the phone status menu)
My question is: Is there there really another charging mode (shown in phone status) when charging trough the wall charger?
Can I fix this somehow? I did factory reset and wiped data but the problem still exists.

Must be the problem of your ROM...

I've noticed that my car charger is recognized as in AC charge (although I think it's supposed to be DC)
I didn't notice if it charges much faster although I think it does a bit faster.
Could it be that my original wall charger is faulty? (Or maybe meant to be like this cause it says travel charger)
Or the problem is definitely within my phone.

Recently I traded my galaxy nexus for a galaxy tab 10.1. But whenever I plug it into a computer or an outlet there's a red x on the battery... it charges reallllly slow. I left it to charge for nine hours from an outlet while turned off, and it went from 5% to 55%. WOW. That's really slow. So I thought that the problem is the cable so I bought a new cable that came with a car adapter. And it worked like a charm in the car. However when I traded I kept the 3 pronged galaxy nexus charger. So anyways I arrived home happy, but I wanted to test it in the computer... Red x again. I tried the wall outlet, again with the x. I tried the wall outlet with 110v and 220v still red x. Then I looked at both outputs on the wall charger and car charger both had the same output which is 5volts and 1A. Then I looked at the input and the car charger was 12-24VDC and the wall outlet was 100-240v and 50Hz and 0.15A. I need help please.
I have 3.2 honeycomb and P7500.
I think that this is an internal issue software wise.
If you need anymore information don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks in advance

On stock settings u wont be able to charge the device connected to ur computer and u will get the Red X on the battery icon! Therez a small tweak to activate that feature to activate charge on pc connect but u will loose the mtp connection. As far as this issue... Seems to be a battery proble. Still try to flash and get to stock to confirm.

What do you mean by loosing mtp? Also I'm a bit noobish at this because I just switched from ios. So can you dumb Down what you said a little. And what do you mean by "still try to flash and to get stock to confirm."
Also my problem is wall charging.

I get that if I try use galaxy nexus charger, however if I charge my galaxy nexus with the tab 10.1 charger I have no problems, make sure your using the correct charger, and for the slow charging I have a USB extension cable if I use that it can take up to 12 hours for a full charge
By charger do you mean cable or outlet?
Sent from my GT-P7500 using xda app-developers app
simplest answer is that the red X means that you're not supplying enough voltage to your tablet. You need 2A (A = Amps), computer USB ports generally do 500mA (1/4 of what you need). Phones usually need less. So the reason your tablet won't charge off the phone charger is because it doesn't supply enough voltage; the phone does fine on the tablet charger because it's just oversupplied (don't worry, your phone won't be damaged by this!)
So what you need is:
1) an original charger for this particular tablet (the cable probably isn't the issue, but I've seen cables that can't transmit the full voltage. The nook color is a good example of this)
2) a 2A charger - can't promise any particular ones work though...
3) (and this is the one you should do): You're on XDA. This is a place for folks who root and install custom ROMs on their devices. Most of the ROMs have USB charging built-in (in the Kernel; don't worry about what that means). Install a custom ROM (I'd suggest AOKP). Problem solved, plus you've increased both performance and functionality of your device exponentially. If you're not willing to do this, XDA probably isn't the place for you anyways.

The outlet , the one for my tab is twice as big as my Gnex one, I guessing they both give out different power, get the official charger!! like I said I can replicate that any time I want by using the tab cable with my Gnex outlet,
Thank you soooo much

I found a solution to a problem that was really vexxxxing me. One of my chargers was working and the other (longer lead) all of a sudden started showing the red cross. Ahhh. The solution (http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...galaxy-tab-10-1-not-charging-brand-new-3.html) was to blow very hard on the 30 pins of the charger and hey presto - started charging again without the red cross.
There are solutions to this problem with quite a few custom ROMs. Task's ICS for example has this patched. I am quite certain there are others.
Hi everyone. I own a GS3 that has been running flawlessly for about 3 weeks but since last 2 days it has developed a problem whereby it only charges via the laptop USB port and not the wall charger. I have tried factory reset, flashed two different custom ROMs based on two different firmwares, pulled battery many times, etc etc, to no avail.
the phone starts charging from wall charger, but after a few minutes, charging stops. I have used the original Samsung charger, my old HTC charger, with a combination of many different USB cables and the result is always the same. The USB port appears to be undamaged
ny suggestion to fix the problem?
Android 4.0.4
I9300BWLH1
Kernel SIYAH S3 V1.5.2
Well from what i can see the problem doesnt lie in the data cable. So maybe it the wall plug section. Or maybe the the socket itself maybe be faulty.
Problem doesnt seem to be in the phone itself so nothing to worrry about too much.
Maybe buy a travel charger to see if that helps.
Also high recommended that you do check the plug socket to see if anything else charges in there.
Might be worth charging in a different plug socket.
Hope this helps

the data cable IS OK !!
How about the plug socket. Have you tried to plug something else into the same plus socket to make that it still charges for example plugging your laptop into that same plug socket that your phone was to see if the laptop charges.

the result is the same.

Well I thought my phone was broke last week...
It wouldn't charge so I tried my old HTC charger and that wouldn't charge it either but it would via usb to laptop. So I purchased a new wire and that worked, I then tested my HTC charger on my HTC Desire HD and that still worked.
So the SGS3 doesn't seem to charge using a HTC cable unless connected to a computer. Try purchasing a new genuine usb cable
Alternatively, you could wipe battery stats in CWM (in advanced menu) and see if that fixes it

I had the same trouble, only 3 weeks after I bought my SGS3.
I did go to Samsung repair center, and they change the motherboard (under warranty).
2 Month before, same trouble with my SGS2, unfortunatly no warranty.
Samsung ask me for (around) 300$ for motherboard, and I did not do.
I've removed batterie and charge with external battery charger .... and forget it a while.
When I try it later, it was working fine ! What was my surprise !
I can charge it again with charger.... two days after "same player shoot again" : impossible to charge ... then work again :silly: !
I'm having this issue too. There is a whole thread of people having charging issues, and I assumed my problem was the same, however upon further inspection it charges via PC USB cable. That said, this may be the issue with the others in that thread.
My phone definitely seemed to charge by powerpoint when I first got it, but has since stopped.
Charging by PC is a pain, as I use my phone as an alarm, and my PC is in another room.
edit: the lightning icon comes up when I plug it into the wall charger, it just gets no charge. Is this the same as everyone else?
Hi, my s3 charges very slow. he's charging for about six houres now and he's at 43%...
Could it be the USB cable?
Heeeelp!!!

Check your AC adapter, especially if you're using the travel adapter. If the connection is loose, it will think you're charging with USB. Go to your phone settings and make sure it says "Charging (AC)" and not "Charging (USB)"....unless you ARE charging with USB, then it's supposed to be slow...iono about 6 hours though...

It says AC...
Check..
Are you charging from computer or the power point. Are you using the charger you got with your phone?
I had the same problem with my phone. Turned out it was the USB cable. Got it replaced from Samsung. You might want to check a different USB cable or a different charger. If you are trying a different charger do make sure the output matches with the stock charger. Also have you tried resetting it back to factory default?

Battery charging incredibly slowly even after switching cables
I got the notification to update my I9300 to Jelly Bean yesterday and went ahead with it. The battery lasted an okay enough time, but I left it plugged in using the stock wall charger overnight. After almost 11 hours, it has only gone from 10% to 75% and I've seen it drop a couple of times while I've gone through the settings. Switching to another charger doesn't seem to make a difference and using the CurrentWidget app shows about 999mA all the time. I haven't rooted it or anything, so it has been difficult to find threads with the exact same issue. Is anyone else experiencing something similar? Thanks!

hi there i just got the same problem as you are getting right now im observing my gs3 and found the charging is very slow 1% evry 30mintues and that the condition is the brightness is low wifi and 3g is off i notice this happen just this morning after 24 hour of chargin using the AC charger from the galaxy s2. right now im using usb cable plugin to the wall out let and also tried plug it in to usb port still having slow charging issue my s3 is JB updated and that it is not rooted, before all this issue happen i was using the same usb cable tha im using bow 2days ago and i have no issue i could watch movie while plugin to the usb port or the wall outlet and im still around 94 to 97% charge with full brightness on and wifi and 3g is on, im in singapore and the outlet here is 220v. ill try to check if might be thusb cable is the issue r not.
my problem is the cable. i used my old samsung phone's charger and it worked!
Same here..
Same problem here, the i9300 charged almost nothing through the night. It recognised the charger as AC. After I woke up, I just took the cable out and reinserted it, then it charged way faster the short while before I went to work. I read somewhere that phones with jelly bean installed OTA over gingerbread could have this problem? I can't really say if it's the charger, the cable or the phone that is the culprit. I have previously had a problem with getting the phone to accept my car charger as well..
The cable you use makes a huge difference.
Best to use the original cable, using an old Nokia cable also works fine.
Be ware of 3rd party cables that for some reason dont deliver sufficient juice to the phone and then it charges very slow....
I guess I should add that I used the original cable and charger. I'll come back with a post if I experience more problems.

Ok so I was on Omega 4.2.2 v45.1
Anyway, after about 2-3 weeks of use on this ROM, I now have charging problems! (could be hardware?)
So, I charged my phone overnight with my official S3 charger (wired) and it went from 39% to only around 65%!!!!!!
Then I took my charger to work with me (and my other S3 charger, which is an official S3 USB chord to a S3 USB plug)
So first I tried with the hard wired plug - 4 hours and it went from 59% to around 86%
Now I am at home and charging from 46%, so far I am on 47% and it has been around 10 minutes!
It is not a battery problem because I have 3 official genuine batteries and they can't all be faulty at once!!
Then I borrowed my sisters Blackberry charger which works fine on her S3 and it doesn't even charge!!!
WTF is going on? Should I just get a replacement? I have insurance but how can I unroot to stock so they can never know of this forbidden secret?
Usually it is cable related. S3 has unstable connection detection which limits to 100mA if it thinks the usb connection is unstable.
Try a new cable (not your sisters blackberry) to see if any better.
If not, there are kernels (eg perseus / devil ?) That can turn off this detection via stweaks / devil tools apps...
If still not, return to stock and test. May be faulty usb port in your s3.
There's about 3 threads a day created here for slow charging so please do use search, as per forum rules

But this is the problem, my sister has same phone and my friends and they use my charger and works perfect for them, but I use mine or their charger, then slow charger so I am thinking it is my phone
How do I get this kernel update, I am now on I9300_Omega 4.1.2_v43.6 (I just downgraded from 4.2.2 because it used more battery and less stable)
Also,Thanks for help
UPDATE! OK it is hardware related because I just had to move the cable a bit to get it to charge! so my S3 USB mini socket is damaged, but if so, why does it still charge? (even though charge is dead slow, so slow now it hasn't charged from 46% it's still on 46%!!!))
Stability detection... that's why. As mentioned in previous post

I have tried different cables.. original one too.. its charging normal from wall charger... but charging is stuck on 67%.... any ideas what do now??
try with another battery and see if it's hardware related
now i came up with another problem... My S3 is now only charging from usb port of laptop/PC/LCD TV.. its not charging on wall charger anymore. i dont know what the hell is wrong??
Get another charger
I have tried different different chargers... but no one is charging my S3. its just charging from laptop/PC/ LCD Tv..
Factory reset, then flash the latest stock firmware for your country with Odin -factory reset again in recovery afterward.
If it still won't charge, particularly when switched off, then you have a hardware fault.
Replace the battery before testing.
