When I fully charge my GS3 and pull out the charger it drops to 99% straight away. Does this happen to everyone else's?

Isnt that just right? if you have 100% of battery and you start using it, you dont have 100% anymore right that second. Its like a countdown, when you have 10 minutes, and you start your timer, then right after you start it, you only have 9 minutes and % seconds,and it goes down...you never have 10 minutes for a minute, and then suddenly 9 minutes.
It doesn't fully charge your battery to 100% to prevent it from over charging, which will increase the life span of your battery. My I9000 does this too

Might explain it then. Soon as I pull out the usb cable from the phone it drops to 99%

So I was overclocking my Atrix 4g and benching it using Faux123's 1.45 Ghz kernel. CF Bench caused it to overheat and restart every time so I did the stupid task of putting it in the freezer (Yes the thing on top of a Refrigerator). And I didn't just put it in the freezer I put it near the part where the fan blows in the cold air. Apparently that wasn't a good idea since my phone suddenly Jumped from 60% battery to 19%. Basically loosing 40% of its charge. Followed by a FC and Reboot.
That night I wen't to sleep and plugged it into an AC charger, it was charging for about 12+ hours. And now my phone won't charge over 60% (Kind of makes sense with the 40% battery loss) and wont go past 1109 mAh ( it's a 1930 mAh battery).
My question is: Have I ****ed up 40% of my battery forever or this something that can be fixed. Note: I have already tried wiping the battery stats.
Try to take out your battery and plug your phone into a wall charger, after that place your battery back into your phone and let it charge

Thanks for the reply.
Should I wait until it has drained or not?
Shouldn't make a difference

If that doesn't work, try recalibrating the battery...

Thanks guys I managed to fix it by plugging it in without battery and then putting it in. however it.still showed 50% so.I went into recove.and cleared.battery stats and now its.at 100%

Hey guys I'm getting some really slow battery charge over here. I've had my phone plugged in the OEM ac charger for over 3h now and it went from 5% to 50% and the phone is getting hot also. I haven't touched it at all for those 3h and data is off so no internet. I don't get it. It's usually fairly quick maybe 1 to 100 for about 2h.
Edit: I'm running capcomalpha with fraux kernel and stock battery.

The following suggestion may be of no help in your case, but I've experienced something like this as well, mainly with CWM that doesn't support off-charging. The phone will look like its charging but is actually drawing just enough energy to keep the phone alive. Also, the charging light will turn off after 15 mins or so. One way to ensure that your phone is getting charged adequately is to check the screen; if you see an ultra-dim screenshot of CWM then you'll have to periodically remove the charger and reinsert it "restart" the charge. Then try to boot into android to complete the charge.
The phone is on I rebooted it and it jumped from 55% to 68%

Try wiping battery stats through CWM.

buy a new battery and wall charger so you can charge the battery outside the phone.

You bumped a thread that was still on the first page after only 7 1/2 hours? Please don't do that again, not that I agree with bumping threads, but it is for when something needs brought back to the first page, not while it is on the first page.
do your have a case on? the trapped heat is cause the phone to slow down charging. it is a safety feature. off the case and flip over when charging. it should charge faster.

The phone has no case and was on the table so i guess there was nothing to make it overheat. Sorry for the bad bump i guess i was just desperate.

What version of Recovery are you on and as you said your using faux kernel. Try to revert to stock recovery or stock kernel and see if there is a change or behavior of your phone. And try aand see if fastboot is check on your power under settings..
you said it was hot. maybe you have some app in background using cpu. hence power drain and overheating.

Ok i swithed to stock kernel and its doing the same thing. I reflashed the rom and didnt install any apps to see if thats the case. I also noticed ita doing it only when the battery is low- 10% or less. Then the phone heats up and its barely charging. If its above 50% it charges fairly quckly and doesnt heat up. Ill see how stock kernel does tonight and report back.

Ok 2 days with stock kernel then a new battery then a new charger... 3h chRging and not even 10% of charge... Im cluless

This isn't very important but for my phone it takes almost 4 hours for a 100% charge from 0% i think this is weird, and if it is how can i make it charge faster? Siyah kernel discharge the battery faster?? I'm charging it from AC not usb

charging from 0 % to 100% do always take time since ur cahrging current is ltd to 650mA. so that time of 4Hrs is quite Normal.
but u should not allow the battery to drain completely like that(0%) but charge the phone when its around 15~20%.
also u can change the Kernel and see
Has anyone had an issue charging their phone to 100%? My phone seems to get stuck at 99%.
I haven't noticed it but in the past with other devices, I could drain all the way down and charge up to full to fix.

I was at first, but I couldn't get it to fully charge even when it was powered off.

Well it takes a while when at 99%, but don't touch it while it's on and wait for it to top off. It's probably trickle charging at 99%.

I read here somewhere that from 99% to 100% took about 20-30mins. It could be a firmware thing or they can be doing what Apple is doing so you don't overcharge it.

It's possible, that's how long it takes for mine.

I've had my one for three days now and I've charged it twice, the first time it took about three hours to charge and Ya it took a long time for it to go from 99-100 percent the second time it seemed to go quicker...just what I've experienced.

Mine stops charging at 90%. Its weird.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
It charges and discharges to conserve the life on the battery. If the phone was kept on a 100% charge the whole time then that would decrease the life of your battery drastically.

I wouldn't worry about it. It's better to keep it at less than 100%. If there was a manual settings threshold, I would keep them as start charging when below 70% and stop at 90%. This is my battery charge threshold setting on my Thinkpad X230T laptop.
Is it doesn't matter if i keep plug in to charge my s3 even the battery fully charged...?

It doesn't for a while but like for arnd 10 hours then no.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
A little over charging can even be beneficial according to some reports and data. However overcharging in general is highly discouraged and will damage the battery in the long run.(10 hours maybe too much in my opinion but a few hours wont hurt)
Might have mattered 10 years ago, but everything has circuits to stop overcharging now anyway so doesn't matter.

SDS originally showed as failing to boot after charging overnight .
But someone told me that when the battery fully charged, it would stop charging automatically even i connect to the mobile to wall plug..
Is it true...? I mean does it has something automatically stop..

It will not stop it will just say no to any charge and when the battery reaches arnd 95% to 97%, it will start charging and to full again. Then the cycle repeats until u stop charging.
