Ok recently i have noticed that sometimes when my phone is plugged in to charge it wont actually charge although the battery has the lightning sign indicating its charging..
example .. two mins ago it was charging on 83% looked again 2 mins late it 80% when it works it works fine , but when it doesn't it can take about 8/9 hours to charge or it will get to say 40% i'll use the phone to update facebook and it will go down 2 or 3 %
also something else that has not happend before but has recently is when i plug phone it betterbattery stats shows a box with dumpsys or sysdump any suggestions
any suggestions
checkrom 5.5 , xxdli2 modem , stock kernel
thanks
I have the same problem
I also had the same problem but I flashed the ARHD JB with siyah 1.6.8 kernel and changed the AC CHARGING to 1200 from stweaks and now my phone charges to 100% from less than 10% in 3 to 4 hours
I have a similar problem but I think my S3 is simply broken. It used to charge fine, now it charges slowly and discharges rapidly. Replacing the battery and doing a complete wipe did not help. More interestingly, I noticed it even discharges when completely turned off, which I consider proof that it must be a hardware issue.
What USB cable are you using?
It seems the phone won't charge when cheap cables are used. Only fancy ones and the ones supplied by Samsung/HTC/Nokia.
I tried 8 cables in total
I'm using all official cables

Naturally, this is more serious than I thought...

I have since started using a charger I brought from a market and it works perfect. Go back to the original one and it plays up again

From yesterday I have been seeing some major battery charging issues with my S3.
Battery drained in evening, came home and connected it to charger for 3 hours and saw battery was just 8%. I removed the battery and put it back and left it for whole night charging. Woke up and saw (after 8+ hours) 22% charged.
Now that's a serious issue. What else can be done now? Is my adapter not working? or that mini dock? or something else?
Samsung disappointed.
Try reboot. Could be a rogue app constantly pushing your CPU. If it does not charge faster, try shut the phone off at a percentage you know, charge a hour and boot it up. Should have charged at least 40% in that time.

When the battery drained. The phone was switched off. Charged for 3 hours and it was just 8%. And yes, I rebooted my phone twice. and removed the battery too.

Try wiping battery stats in cwm?
or
use a different cable/plug
There are quite a few faulty wall chargers around. Mine was totally dead others work only sometimes... Maybe try charging @pc or with a different adapter.
Due to the software update via Kies, Root access and CWM was lost. Will use a different adapter...
Now it's being charged via my laptop (very slow though) but adapter was not doing anything except just showing the red LED light. :/
I think I have to change the adapter.
It's the adapter which is not working. Charged from Galaxy S2's charger. Have to get it replaced from samsung service center.
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

Did some searching but didn't find anything.
Quick background:
Got a new phone early December so my i777 sat idle for nearly a month. Battery (original OEM) completely drained during that time. Went to recharge last week and couldn't do so - charging animation just shows the battery at 0% for a 1/2 second, cuts to black screen/totally off for 2 seconds, then 0% animation for 1/2 second... etc. Just loops like that. Left overnight like that and battery got warm but didn't charge at all. Tried charging via 2 different USB cables from 2 different PCs, as well as wall-mounted charging from OEM i777 charger, N7, N4 and Kindle Fire chargers. Six charging methods, same result - no charge, couldn't boot.
Bought a cheapo replacement battery off Ebay,results when I put in in the phone and plugged it in the same. A 0% "charging loop". However after disconnecting the USB the phone booted up as apparently battery shipped with a 30%'ish charge. Once the phone was on it charged up to 100% just fine on USB. However if I power off the phone and try to charge, it's the same thing. Shows the 0% and endless loop. Confirmed it's not just a visual/animation issue by leaving it powered off in the charging loop for 2 hours - was at 92% when powered off and 92% when powered on 2 hours later.
ROM on phone at time was the Task650 12/2 build. Wiped EVERYTHING and flashed the most recent Hellybean ROM, same result. Flashed the most recent SuperNexus 2.0 and same result.
Any suggestions? Feels like I've ruled out charger issues by trying 6 types, micro USB port seems for file transfers and charging the (phone provided the phone is on), have both an OEM and cheap aftermarket battery acting identical, and ruled out ROM issues by trying three. Not sure where to go from here. As long as the battery doesn't get to zero charge the phone works fine, charging with the phone on. If it gets to zero % I presume I'd need a dedicated battery charger to bring it back to life. I want to sell the phone and that's sort of a lame situation to sell a phone so want to get it fixed (not going to scam anyone). I can get into download mode with battery removed, USB connected and key combo if that matters. Also pulled the microSD card which made no changes - figured worth a weird shot.
Thanks!

Try a different charger first but either your usb socket or motherboard is faulty.

I need ur input. I have Optimus G(e970), CM10.2, Neighborhood Kernel, Pureperformance mod, Xposed mod, SManager disabling Sweep2wake at start. Excluding hardware problems, I'm trying to figure out why most times my phone takes so long to recharge. It even takes long recharging even when the phone is off. What could be the problem software-wise? Ur help is appreciated.
Usually the phone charges quicker when it's turned on, the second thing is that I had that same issue when replaced original kernel on my x10 mini pro, so it might be that, other than that, may be that you aren't using the original charger or the original cable (I'm not sure why but original stuff charges the phone really quick)

it could be my kernel and/or pureperformance mod not getting along, or it could be the hardware. thanks for the info.
With the stock charger that comes with the phone it charges very very slow. Like 5 hours to fully charge. I found a Samsung charger and I have been using it. With my phone powered off it will full charge in about 2 hrs. I do not know how safe it is I wouldn't advise using a different charger but it does work for me and I am having no problems been using this for 2 weeks now.

Yeah the Samsung is better for this phone, I use the Nexus 4 charger and it feels like it takes all day to charge. It seems to charge really slowly when on, cause once I went to bed and the phone was still charging when I woke up.
