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

Not sure if it's kernel (siyah) or my rom (paranoid android) but my charging is weird......
It takes ages to charge (eg. 33% right now.... Tells me it will take 10hrs to charge) and when it's plugged in and I use it for browsing or just using fone it doesn't charge..... It seems to drain battery....
Any reason y its doing this? Using samsung charger
Also it might have been when I reseted the battery at cwm

Battery Lost 40%

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...

Check your charger on other device, or check if other charger will work properly. If not there could be something with your device. Is it heating while charging ?

It heats when plug in and not heating after 10 min or so. I dunno why my battery is draining even though it was in deep sleep.

Try if it's working when you plug it to the PC, there have been reports (same issue as yours), but it still worked with the PC. But sry no other solution present AFAIK except warranty.

How many does it take take to charge completely

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

I think its alright! Yup its little slow but its fine! When I was having a stock S3, it used to take 2 + hrs for complete charging (0%-100%)
If you are not satisfied then you can change your charger!
Or if you are are rooted user then u can try by changing charging settings in your kernel(only if u have a custom kernel)!
Press thanks if it helped you! :silly:
Yea, no need to panic. Same here.

You could use a custom kernel modifing the charge settings but BE CAREFUL, could be dangerous for your battery if you will exaggerate
The older your battery is then the smaller it's capacity and the quicker it will charge. A brand new battery should take around 4 hours to charge, so your battery has lost 40% of it's original capacity -assuming your charger and internal charging circuit of the phone remain to spec.
