Battery fully charged. Unplug charger. - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Why is touch wiz instructing me to do this. . Does it hurt the battery if I leave it in for a while?

It is saying unplug the charger from the wall to save energy.

No it does not hurt
I have a sgs1 that's 2 years old and I charged her up every night for those 2 years (leaving phone pluged in over night)

well hypothetically if you leave it in for like a week (unlikely), the battery gets weak but assuming you use it every day that wont happen! they probably are helping people who lack the brains to remember to unplug they're phones... hope that helped!

Once the battery is full, the phone runs directly off the charger like a laptop. You can leave it plugged in until you wake up in the morning for example.

Are you talking about the fully charged notification? Just delete it with root you can use root explorer and just delete it.....

Is my phone bricked?

I was wondering if my phone is bricked. I installed Cyanogenmod nightly 17 after using all the previous nightlies without any mishaps, and it drained my battery to 0% and my phone died. Now when I am plugging it in to try and charge it, the phone won't turn on anymore. I have left it in the charger for about 2 hours already, and still no luck with with powering on the phone.
I have tried to make it to go into download mode by pressing the power and the up + down buttons. Nothing
I also tried doing that without the battery. It would just flash the screen then turn off then flash the screen again in a cycle.
Can someone please point me in the right direction on how to boot my phone up again.
Let it charge overnight and hope for the best.
It'd be very unlikely it's bricked. Possible, but unlikely. A number of not likely things would need to take place all around the same time.

So you would suggest leaving the battery in and charge overnight? because right now if I am doing that, the phone heats up
Some have reported it getting pretty hot while charging. Not that common, but does happen. Some have left the battery case off and pointed a fan at it.
You can also plug it into a computer. Usb ports charge at a lower power and shouldn't cause as much of a heat up.
Just make sure it doesn't get too hot. The phone likely won't get damaged but the battery can die at temperatures over 50 degrees celcius.

Take battery out and place it in freezer to cool off, phone too. Take out the freezer and put battery back in. Reboot. Should come right back on.

Ahh the things freezers can fix. Saved info from a few hard drives.

No problem. Your phone just over heated while shutting down. Happened to me before.

Battery never 100%

So as soon as I take out the charger the battery goes to 99%. Why is this..

How does that make sense..?

Look, it just does it for everyone. Its not an issue.
Apparently the latest release from samsung doesn't do this any more.
But essentially, as soon as one minisculer, tiny, mini, minute little bit of power is used, like 1 millionth of a milisecond of an LED light or screen on or data connection etc, its no longer truly 100%.
So if its 99.9999999999999999999999999999% battery, it shows as 99%.
I guess Samsung changed it to change to 99% later in the newest release because everyone whines about it. About 5 threads a week here.

the new uk unbranded firmware charges to 100% and stays on 100% when i take it of charge
Regardless of what the indicator displays, ion lithium batteries never charge 100%.. once it reaches 100% it discharges to avoid over charging..
It's not an issue..

Battery Not Completely Charging

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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
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.

Battery life woes.... Flashed AOKP and...

Well how do i start this off.... I had average battery life before flashing AOKP. I was on CleanRom V9 at first, I saw that AOKP was finally stable enough for me to consider it. I flashed, had it all set up for a day or 2. Then I experienced this extremely slow charging bug. I read about it on the thread over there. Then I said forget it and went back to CleanRom. Well I restored back to CleanRom and the battery woes continued on to there! And even when I have the phone on the charger, it continues to drain, no matter what I do. Like earlier today, I had my phone charging and I opened it to check my Twitter. Phone stayed at 100% for about an hour ON THE CHARGER. Sat my phone down STILL ON THE CHARGER to take a quick shower, came back and it was sitting on 84%. It dropped 16% in like 30 mins. Does anyone know what could POSSIBLY be causing this weird battery drain? Maybe just a bad battery? Or my charger isn't working right? Oh I have the original OEM charger. Please help!

Reflash clean rom. Wipe everything including internal sd

And that will work? I won't need to wipe my SD card would I? Shouldn't have a thing to do with it.... Could I reflash AOKP afterwards?

Try it and let us know. You're having issues. Either way try this clean flash and report your findings or deal with the issues you have. It can't get any worse then it already is unless you somehow manage to brick your phone

I had this issue and for some reason, after a few days, using a new charger worked. I believe the stock charger is just made cheaply. Go to a verizon and ask them to do a battery test with the stock Samsung charger

Cool. Weird, I used my wife charger for her note and it charged while I was using the phone. But I used my charger, it drained while I used it. Idk. Bad charger maybe.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
UPDATE: It seems as if it may have been the USB cable from the stock Samsung charger. The base itself is performing great but I ended up using a different USB cable in the base. Phone charged up while using EXTENSIVELY. previously it wouldn't charge at all and would drain while on the charger. Im still experiencing a lil extra battery drain but I already have new Hyperion batteries on order from Amazon. Could be a combination of bad cable and failing battery. Will update when batteries arrive.

This is how it started... Was driving to LA noticed my phone was dying 14% , plugged into the car charger then checked to see the drain/charge mAh lucky it was at 658+ mAh arrived to my destination unplugged the battery and it was at 72%.
Restarted my phone just to restart .

Now I tried powering it on NOTHING. No red light, no dimmed light. Plugged in the wall charger original port and USB cable.. No charging light. Tried pulling battery out , putting it back in nothing. Left it on the charger for an hour just to see if it will pick up a charge, nope nothing.

Try letting it charge overnight, its never happened to me, but I recall someone explaining a similar scenario. Turned out to be some kind of deep sleep.
A long overnight charge apparently fixed it.....
Good luck
