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
I seem to be having some weird charging issues.
On the official samsung charger which came with the phone it won't charge at all. Plug it in and does nothing.
If I use the galaxy S III charger it charges very very slowly.
With the HTC charger it seems to charge like normal.
It's very weird and don't know how to troubleshoot this. There's no overvoltage errors with the battery and it works fine plugged into the computer. So I don't think the usb flex is faulty. I switched batteries with another SII and it's the same thing.
Then obviously get a new S2 charger.
Didn't you read. I've tried 3 different chargers

Yes I did read, but you obviously didnt!
I said get a new "S2" charger. Using other non-official chargers will result in varying results.

The S2 charger works fine with the other S2 though. It's just with my phone
well in that case maybe theres a problem in ur usb charging flex cable but that occurs wen u have a flashing battery icon on top righ cornoer battery status shows over voltage at charging and ur phn restarts wen u power it off.. if u dnt find these things it might be something else then
I don't have any of those issues. I had that before so I replaced the usb flex. This one is about 4 months old which is currently in my phone

Yes I've tried from both, and an s3 its only mine which doesn't work. I'm using the HTC charger atm and that seems to charge it fine. I'm really stumped to what wrong with it

I've been trying to charge my phone lately my nexus s charger no longer charges as quick as it used to and my tab2 plug and s3 wire doesn't seem to be charging as fast. Could this be a USB fault or ROM as I came from paranoid ROM tried to go stock got a error and used the kies emergency recovery

This. I've been using my blackberry cable for a while now to since the stock chargers are really crappy. Besides, it disconnects with the slightest touch. I first blamed my USB ports for it, but when I changed the cable everything's fine

my girlfriends old bb bold has a complete charger, I used a different plug last night left it on all night and woke up to 60% ive rooted it and wiped cache, dalvik and something else gonna reflash rom to see if that fixes it if not its a trip to carphone warehouse
just gave it a flash of the same stock emc2 rom I was on, didnt know it didnt wipe the phone when you flash the same rom, its reaching 70% on charge, will see how far it gets before i go to work
It's been a few months I'm using the GS3. Everything was working fine.
Suddenly, yesterday, this fantastic quad-core beast refused to charge! I made so many attempts but all in vain :crying: :
Tried a different charger.
Tried a different USB Cable.
Tried charging it via PC/Laptop.
Tried removing the battery, cooling everything down and then charging again.
Blew inside the USB port.
Rebooted several times.
Done a factory reset (I know it wasn't a thing to be done.. but... ).
What is the problem?! I've never dropped it or something like that! It's too important for me to have a phone!
Won't send it to Samsung ever. I think people at XDA have more brains.
The only connection to the internet at my home is my S3's GPRS. Wait a minute... if S3 isn't charging how am I posting and starting this thread?
It charges. ONLY 15% in 3 hours when it's Switched OFF and it's charged using Laptop/PC ONLY.
If I try to charge it using wall charger, it never charges! It never charged even before. Whenever my S3 was completely out of battery, I HAD TO use the PC ONLY to charge. It won't ever charge using a wall charger. I mean after it's charged a little bit after using the PC, I could always use the wall charger but FIRST, ONLY PC.
Now, When it charges about 15%, then, today, it DOESN'T CHARGE AT ALL. It means if you Switch it ON, boom! You won't ever be able to charge, no matter if you're using it, no matter if it's connected to a wall/PC as the charger, it always keeps on only "draining". To charge I HAVE TO switch it OFF.
PLEASE HELP! I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS!
Note: Phone isn't rooted.
SOLUTION WITH ROOT : Flash Boeffla Kernel. DONE! The problem is Galaxy S3's Stock Kernel! The phone charges at a very good speed!
SOLUTION WITHOUT ROOT : Buy the Capdase USB cable (HCBB00-SM01) from or Amazon or eBay.
We don't have locked boot loaders. So if you do, you're in the wrong forum. Only the Verizon S3 has locked boot loaders.

There are another hundred identical threads, likely causes are faulty charger, lead or charging circuit inside phone. If you are on custom rom/kernel then flash back to stock.
Did you try the app charging current? It shows how many mA are coming through
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Judged on your previous posts you need to find out what phone you actually have .
Suggest you flash a stock rom and test .

As mentioned, first... use galaxy charging current app and report what MAX is. Returning to stock if less than 999 on mains to rule out software.

Here are the Maximum Values in the Galaxy Charging Current app-
Samsung Charger+HTC Wire=100
Sony Charger+HTC Wire=100
Samsung Charger+Samsung Wire=200
Sony Charger+Samsung Wire=200
Samsung Charger+Sony Wire=900
Sony Charger+Sony Wire=1000
The problem is, the Sony wire I've used isn't mine. So I can't keep that with me. I have the Samsung Charger, HTC & Samsung Wires.
Do you recommend to buy a new wire? It'd be great if you'd suggest me which one

Yes. The samsung cable is well documented as being poor on this forum. I bought 2 generic cables from the market and they're great

Finally I solved it!
The problem with all the Galaxy S3's is the USB WIRE. Samsung's data cables are 30AWG wires (the lower the number, the better speed). Our phones need at least 26AWG wires to charge who good speeds. Now, the more thin is the wire, the more is it's resistance. If you notice the difference between Samsung and Sony Ericsson wires, the Sony ones are really fat in front of Samsung. I used the Galaxy Charging Current Lite app to test various USB Wires and Sony Ericsson's wire was the best giving the Max value of 1000 (Samsung gave 500). But Sony doesn't sell wires, we need to buy a Car Charger/Adapter with it and pay a big amount... Again a problem!
Solution: I bought a wire from www.stuffcool.com (Capdase USB cable (HCBB00-SM01) and I was shocked to see my mobile always around 80-90% charged! I recommend everyone to buy USB Wires for their phones from www.stuffcool.com and charge their mobile faster!!! They're thick wires, they don't break and they don't eat up the current! Samsung USB Wire users will definitely understand the difference in those wires
I bought it from stuffcool.com , however, it's available on eBay and Amazon too.

Unfortunatly, that is apparently not my problem, though the symptoms are the same. My girlfriend's SGS 3 will not charge, despite showing a charge indicator on the battery symbol.
Chargers are good, as my sgs 3 shows 460 max when on my laptop, and 900 on wall charger using the Galaxy Charging Current Lite app. (rooted, Sentinel ROM) My girlfriend's SGS 3 is showing 0 using same app, USB cord and wall charger. Laptop and wall charger show the same: 0. Ideas?
She's stock ICS, unrooted. Is this a software or hardware issue?

I am having the same issue. It shows a charging icon but the battery continues to drain. I downloaded the Galaxy Charging Current Lite application and it doesn't show anything.
Does anyone know if this is a component that can be fixed?
I bricked my phone, sent it in... got it back and now it doesn't charge. I have external batteries, so I'm not totally screwed but, I used to be to able to download torrents all night and the phone would charge, not the case anymore. Not blaming it on the bricking or the dudes that fixed it for me, it's all in the cables. I have 3 cables, all worked great before, now none of them work, except the samsung cable, but still won't charge while tethering, weakness, it's the cables... there's not an app out there that will help you

If you're using an app that uses the GPS and you have your screen on bright, you may be using more than the USB port you are plugged into can handle. A PC/Laptop port probably won't put out enough power. You'll want to use a charging block plugged into the wall directly. Look for something that is at least 1A (amp) up to 2.1A for the really power hungry phones and most tablets.
Sir i use 1Amp samsung OEM charger...even i changed also nd no app uses my GPs or other things......Sir charging is really slow....nd if i use phone while charging then it discharges slowly ....even i use an app like opera mini
