Battery charging issue? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I just noticed that after 12+h connected to charger my SGS3 is still at 87% of battery level. Does anyone faced that kind of issue?
- phone is new
- this is first full charge
- soft: JB (XEO)

hi adam!
that is odd.. i have not experienced that.... ever.
anyway, here are some of my theories:
considering you are using a wall socket...
a. your battery is defective
b. your charger is defective
c. just some other matters such as: black-out, some one unplugged the charger
i suggest you use your warranty now

Its ok now, i restarted the phone, charged it a bit turned off, and started charging again when turned on. its now green led and 100% looks like new battery stuck for a while when charging.

Also make sure to use the sammy charger and cable they are sensitive about not having Samsung branded things inserted into them

Thats a jelly bean issue which alot of people are facing...i charged it to 100% In like 8 hours and now on my second charge cycle and its charging perfectly like it used to on ICS roms
Ps: i am using HTC charger with orignal s3 cable

[Q] Screen responsiveness when charging?

Hey guys,
I've seen this for other phones but I didn't see a thread here. When my Razr is charging it's basically unusable as the touchscreen is very erratic.
Is there any way to fix this or is it just down to trial and error with different chargers or something like that?
Thanks!
Well writing right now from razr while charging it.
I do not have this problems. Everything works fine.

I have a off brand charger that will do that. I can't even use the phone unless I take it off the charger bascially. It's a wall charger that isn't USB. My Motorola USB charger that came with the phone won't do this.
the cause of this is using chargers that did not originally come with the phone.
It will charge the phone but because of wiring/voltage differences your phone becomes erratic receiving input from both ur finger and the charger plug
........or something like that

Never used a non original charger and the same happens to me sometimes with default swipe keyboard.

I have that problem too. Using swiftkey x and the default keyboard. It only happens when the phone is plugged to the official charger and has over 89%of battery. It starts to became a bit crazy.

I also have the problem using the original Motorola charger. On mine it depends how fast it's charging. The faster it's charging, the more unresponsive the touch input is. The charging rate depends on the total charge % of the battery.
You can see the charge/discharge rate using the Battery Monitor Widget, along with a full history.
Mine is like this:
Under 80% battery: charging at +850mA/hr. This is when it's most unresponsive.
80% - 95%: it tapers off to +550mA/hr, when the phone is usable, but not perfect.
over 95%: charging at +35mA/hr and the phone is completely responsive.
A bit unrelated - using the latest AOKP GSM, my battery drains at 0.6%/hr (-9 to -11mA/hr) when idle, with no power saving features enabled. Not too bad!
My samsung charger and htc charger both work fine.
The moto one seems to cause issues on occasion but ive never paid attention to the battery level just stopped using it.

Charging Time

How long does it take before your batteries are fully charged?
First, need to start by stating it seems the charger that came with my S3 may need replacing, as the phone doesnt charge when I connect it. I connected my Note's charger though and it started charging.
I let my battery drain to 1% and started charging, its been 2 and a half hours and its at 47%.
Does that sound normal? My Note gets fully charged in about 3 and a half hours.

Have you tried the original charger & cable again after you got a little juice in the battery from Note's charger? Also to determine if its charging slowly, were you using the phone for various things while it was charging??? How long has your screen been on while charging, because that is the biggest battery sucker on a Samsung device.
Just tried using the original charger and no luck. Weird thing is the S3 seems to think it.is just connected via USB as the USB connection prompt appears whenever I try to use that charger, but still doesnt charge.
Im using the Note's charger now and it is charging again.
The entire time the phone was sleeping, screen was not on.

Sounds like either a defective charger, or a defective battery/phone. If you have a warranty, I advise exchanging your device through that method.
Thanks went to Samsung and turns out the cable is defective.
How long does it take for your S3s to fully charge coming from little to no charge?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I never leave mine till 1%. Usually at around 20% and it takes 4-5 hours. Is it better to leave till 1%?
Also how fast are you depleting a? Had a galaxy s and a iphone 4 before and the s3 seems too deplete a little faster.

[Q] SGS2 charged all the time

Hello peopel, first of all sorry for my english.
I have a problem with my S2 - all the time he say he is charge
but he is not connected to the computer/charger.
when i do charge and i reach 100% battery, he tell me to disconnect,
so i disconnect but the warrning not going off.
he still think he is getting charged.
The battery now goes from 100% to 0% in like 3-4 hours of avarage use.
i tried new Rom/Kernel/charger/usb cable/battery
nothing helped.
Any ideas?
Two easy jump conclusions:
1. Battery needs replacement OR
2. You need to reset battery stats in CWM if you haven't done that for a long time.

You mean it is charging even though it is not connected to anything? Some people reported a problem similar to that. They just cleaned the charging port with a dry toothbrush. Maybe something is in the charging port that causes the phone is still charging. Or if you mean it is 100% all the time then this is the first time i have heard of this issue. Are you on stock rom? Are you rooted? Can you give us any further info?

as "@ephraim033" said, if the phone is saying that "is charging", but the charger isn't pluged in, you have to clean the micro usb port, because it is full of dust

Battery charging problem JB stock

Hi guys,
My phone is on UAE official
Just updated from ics to jb using kies and the charging is taking forever like 7% per hour
While on charge if im using the phone it actually is decreasing the battery instead of charging.
Checked using the current app the charger is supplying 1amp tried various cables and chargers etc and same
Would I need to factory reset or wipe cache after an official update.
By the way on ics charge time is perfect so not hardware fault.
Any reply would be great
Cheers

Been said in several other threads that this can happen if the phone wasn't on 100% when upgraded - maybe it removes battery stats. Apparently after the first full slow painful charge its reverts back to normal. I guess its trickle charging so not to damage the battery. Say battery was 50% when updated - it thinks this is full charge - once you do actually fully charge it the phone then re-learns the actual full battery in stats and is ok.
Not sure if this is 100% or not though, i made sure i was fully charged when i updated last night.
All you can do is try and see if its back to normal after a long lengthy first full recharge
Yes that could be the case due to updating at around 85 percent.
Thanks for the great info
What explains the charge decreasing while on charge on use ??
Anyone ??

Ok so I changed the original charger that has the usb input with the extension cable. This is the 1amp charger the red led looked dim using this on JB rom
Now I used the 500ma output direct wall charger with no usb input all in one charger and the red led is full bright like ICS rom and now charging while using phone and charge rates are back to normal
anyone know how to fix usb charger thinking its not AC more like charging from pc usb ??
Cheers

I don't know what really is happening but my phone started to charge reeeeeallly slow in the last two days. ( I got JB over the air a few days back).
It's for example charging right now and as soon as I start to use it while charging, the battery percentage goes DOWN.
I never had this before. On ICS I was able to easily get through 2 days (I mostly have power saving feature on, since everything works great even in power save mode).
What the hell is happening here.

I used to have this problem, too. I fixed it by turning my phone off and letting it charge to 100%. After that, it would charge and discharge as expected again.
I have the same problem,
But I have a temporally solution , I charging my mobile with my old charger for galaxy s2 ( which is direct to wall ) , it will charge fast as ICS rom before ( 1-100% 2:20 mnts)
I think there is a problem in JB rom, the mobile thinking the original charger (with extension USB cable) it is charging from computer ... so it is really really slow , plus it is not charging after 90%
any how .. the mobile charging well when it is off.!!!
This my experience
Yes like you im using direct charger 500mA and its charging while I use phone and I get full charge from 10% to 100% in about 2 hrs and 50 mins
For a second I thought I was the only one with this issue turns out many of you guys noticed this problem aswell
thanks for the all the input

Slow Charging

Since a few days my phone doesn't charge good.
When I charge my phone over night, it get's to 50% but not any higher.
The phone charges really slow.
I've tried my old htd desire charger end the normal samsung charger, but it make no difference.
What can be the problem?
The charger, battery or the phone itself?
It`s most likely the battery, make sure the terminals on the battery and in the phone are clean.
An Anker battery is around $10-15 , but NFC is reported not to work with it, or an original Samsung battery is around $25

Is your phone slow charging, OR normal charging but fast discharging?? Think about it.. go to battery section in the settings, and post a screenshot
