Hi guys,
I tried charging my android phone this morning directly with my phone charger, and it failed to charge. I've been using it to charge my phone since I bought the phone. It just stopped charging today. But when I connect my phone with my cable to pc it will be charging. How can I get rid of this problem?
Please help out!
Seeing that your device charges from your PC, maybe there is a problem with your wall charger. Have you tried a different one?

Could it be the USB cable?

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.

Hey guys,
I bought my S3 exactly 1 year ago and everything ran smooth and was working alright. My phone is rooted and it runs with CyanogenMod 10.1.
About a week ago, from one the to the other I can't charge my phone like always.
If the phone is turned on and I plug in the charger (doesn't matter if AC or USB) the phone drains the battery whilst it is actually charging - wtf ?
The only way to charge it is to turn it off and charge it while it's powered off, but even then it charges ridiculous slow.
I did no changes to the ROM or the kernel, it just happened like "over night".
I tried to reflash the ROM etc.. but nothing worked yet. In my opinion it's not a software issue but I don't really know.
Has anyone ever had a problem like this?
PS: At the moment I am not in my home country (not before august) - so if it's a hardware issue I'll reflash the stock rom, unroot it and sent it to Samsung then.
There are plenty of identical posts to this, with the most common cause being a faulty charger or lead.
Which kernel do you use?

I read dozens of articles but I didn't find a useful answer.
The chargers and the cables are definitely not the problem because my friend also has a S3 and his phone charges normally with all chargers and cables. My battery is also working fine in his phone.
So no battery, charger or cable problem in my opinion.

ROM: CyanogenMod 10.1 20130531 NIGHTLY
Kernel: Siyah Kernel 1.9.1
But I don't think that the kernel is makes any problems. It worked like a charm for ages and then from on the to another it got ****ed up.
Usual reply flash stock rom .
Test fails replace cable and test .

If returning to stock doesn't resolve it then the charging circuit inside the phone is faulty - return for warranty repair.
that's your cable or your stop contact is trouble, try in other cable :cyclops:

Had exactly the same problem. I changed the stock charger with an other one and now the phone charges in 2 hours.
There is an app called Galaxy Current. Search in the play store. It gives you the input current when you charge the phone. If it is not 1000mA, then it's probably a faulty charger.
Moreover, i think it is a known problem with stock chargers. A lot of people has experienced the same issue.
Thanks for all your replies but it's definitely NOT the cable and it's NOT the charger.
My friend has also a S3 and we tried the following things:
My cable and my charger
My cable and his charger
His cable and my charger
His cable and his charger
Everything failed.
Then we tried:
Charging my battery with his phone (succeed, so my battery is working well)
Charging his battery with my phone (failed)
I also installed the App "Galaxy Charging Current *Lite*" - values were pretty alright (466mA on USB, 999mA on AC)
I have no STOCK ROM with me and no chance to download it in the next 2 weeks - the only thing I have is an old STOCK ROM backup (should also do the job). I'll try to flash it on my phone and if that fails - I can definitely say that it is a hardware issue (phone charging circuit, ..)

Yesterday I completely unrooted my S3, flashed the Stock 4.1.2 ROM but no changes at all. I can definitely exclude a software problem now.
So I am going to send it back to Samsung in ~ 1 week.
Thanks for you help though.
My phone is repaired now - there were some bad contacts on the usb-to-mainboard connector. Samsung fixed it and now it's working again.
Thanks for your help though.
Hi guys,
i have a serious problem here my S3 doesn't seem to charge at all, i have tried putting my battery in another S3 and it charged well with the same charger, so the problem seems to be from the phone it self.
Does any one ran through somthing like that before, please help.
thanks

I've tried many chargers and cables, the only one that works for me is my nexus 7 mains charger, I get a steady 1 amp using that. I can't believe so many chargers and cables just can't charge my S3 quickly enough!

How come does your 2100 mAh gets charged in one hour? A 2.1A charger will do this job, but damage the device?

Yes i noticed.. when i used my old HTC USB cable, the phone charged as usual..
I have a question though:
using a different USB cable, does it harm the phone in any way in respect to charging?

No it doesn't. The phone just takes as much power as it needs. The only way to change the "hunger" of your device is over custom kernel. But without this it has its own regular "needs".

could be a problem with a battery, for example my battery doesnt charge passed 89% and my phone turns off at 30%
this is due to a faulty battery or even previous heating issues etc...
these are issues you can only fix by buying a replaement battery

No. The slow charging is the phones way to protect the phone if there is a problem.

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.
