Hi, my s3 charges very slow. he's charging for about six houres now and he's at 43%...
Could it be the USB cable?
Heeeelp!!!

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.

Anyone have a charger problems? My charger cable works fine as it recognizes when its plugged into a computer, but the bottom part doesn't work. What's really weird is when I plug the dock and tablet in, it will pretend to be charging and completely drain the dock to fully charge the tablet.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "bottom part", do you mean the AC wall adapter?

Hi Guys
Have a problem on my prime now.. everything I try to charge it - it doesn`t work...
Last time I`ve charged it was 2 days ago.. Have somebody the same failure ?
I have to order now a new wall charger and cable now or what you think ?!

I noticed you posted this in WSG's thread...I was curious if you changed anything within the last two days? Rom or Kernel? if so, go back to what you were running two days ago (restore nandroid or whatever). Are you charging just the tablet with the AC? Try a different outlet? I guess you need to rule out all possibilities to see if it is actually the wall charger. Good luck!
I tried everything.. restored backup 15 days ago and everything.. but always the same - tried as well to charge my sgsII with the wall connectore there it works.. but on the usb cable I think there is the problem.. now I`ve ordered the wall connector and usb cable to replace it.. hopefully my result is correct on this issue..
I am so sorry but I cannot remember because I rooted my phone the first day I got it. Does the phone turns itself on when you plug it into the charger? Mine does.
I'll turn the phone off.
Plug the phone to the charger.
The phone turns itself on.
Is thIs normal?
Mine doesn't. Did not do it stock either.

This gave me a lot of grief when I flashed ICS. Try plugging it into a computer or different charger. My note wasn't charging, so I thought it best to turn it off to charge. Damn phone wouldn't stay off and if I pulled the battery and plugged it in it'd just keep vibrating. Check the charger, Samsung's are apparently a lot more picky than HTC, Motorola etc, because my wife's skyrocket goes all retarded on the thing too, yet it works fine for every other device I've plugged into it

Mine does. Did it on stock Gingerbread, and the leaked ICS. My HTC HD2 did that as well with just about every ROM in it I can think of, including the ICS one. They all turn themselves off in whatever the timeout is set to, unless you have the screen set to stay on when charging.

It's all about the usb cable u are using.
I was using a data usb cable so whenever i plug the phone, the phone turns on thinking it's connecting to a computer. I tried using the usb cable that came with the phone and it did not do the problems i posted this thread.
I am not sure how different the Samsung usb cable is to the one i have but i found it to be the fix to my issue. Im only using a different usb cable because the stock one was too short.
Hope this helps
I had that problem at home with a specific no-name aftermarket charger - it was the charger, not the cable, because I switched the cable to a different charger and it stayed off (it was a data cable BTW).
Hadn't tried this with my computer at work or a charger I have at work - it did not turn on when plugged into the computer but DID turn on when I plugged it into the charger. This charger was the one that came stock with my HTC Advantage, with a mini-to-micro adapter on the end.

I was using the same charger (Samsung OEM, the one that came with the phone). The only thing I changed was the cable.
Interesting. I'd love to know what is causing the phone to turn on - a certain voltage, pulsing voltage, whatever...
here's a weird one..
when using the wall charger that came w/ my phone, instead of charging the battery its actually draining it, the battery icon says its charging/plugged w/ power but after leaving it plugged in eventually it died out, but if i plug it in my pc it charges w/ no problem..
pls help me or enlighten me as to whats happening...
thanks in advance.
Strange. It should be the other way around. USB 2.0 sockets push 500mah which isnt enough to charge the S while the wall chargers provided are 800/850. Perhaps a dud socket? Try another and if not your charger is fúcked.
yeah, i think its my effin charger, i plugged it in a diff outlet still same, i tried using it to charge my iphone its not working as well. thanks for the help.

USB isnt enough to charge the SXS?
Stop spouting rubbish like that.
I charge my SXS with my PC's USB port all the time and it charges just fine.

For me it discharges faster than it charges. It may charge off yours but typically it'll be very slow or not at all. Some ports push more AFAIK, but the standard is 500max.
I also noticed that, if I have WiFi on, the phone actually discharges when connected to the PC (when used anyway).
I don't know how much current is provided though, never measured it.
If charging through USB is fine then it might be that the charger is shorting the battery + and - through some resistance.
Try another charger and see if it helps , and replace the faulty one. You don't want to break your battery.
On my laptop usb port it will charge just fine. Slower than the normal charger but it does work.
On my desktop pc otoh it drains more than it charges. So there probably is a difference in output on the usb ports.

If you were using "front ports" these are often underpowered compared to ones mounted on the mobo(back of case, or all laptop ones).
I connect my phone via my front ports and it charged just fine actually...
I am behind the computer quite a bit and my phone keeps its battery and charges when attached, even when I'm installing a bunch of apps (I tend to browse the market via my browser and pick up apps as i go) I still don't discharge...
It could be a voltage issue with your ports, but with my frontal ports I notice no problems...but anyways, this isn't about the ports, this is about the OP's charger.
To me, it seems like your charger is faulty.
Hi,
I wrote about a similar issue I was having with the phone discharging when connected to USB.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573336
From what I could tell in my tests that I did the issue is when the phone is connected to the PC and THEN the PC goes into Standby mode. Even on a powered USB hub the phone charging mechanism does not reset correctly and continue charging but begins discharging.
I would have loved if someone else could have tried to reproduce what I wrote in that thread but no one responded. For me the only solution is to charge directly with the AC power and not through the USB as my PC goes in and out of standby regularly.
Phone charghed with USB will drain batery faster then phone charged with wall charghed.
It was thread in xperia arc about that, the test bring that conlcution.
So i recomend to charge with wall for better batery efecienty.
Sry for language im little sleepy. :$

Recently I traded my galaxy nexus for a galaxy tab 10.1. But whenever I plug it into a computer or an outlet there's a red x on the battery... it charges reallllly slow. I left it to charge for nine hours from an outlet while turned off, and it went from 5% to 55%. WOW. That's really slow. So I thought that the problem is the cable so I bought a new cable that came with a car adapter. And it worked like a charm in the car. However when I traded I kept the 3 pronged galaxy nexus charger. So anyways I arrived home happy, but I wanted to test it in the computer... Red x again. I tried the wall outlet, again with the x. I tried the wall outlet with 110v and 220v still red x. Then I looked at both outputs on the wall charger and car charger both had the same output which is 5volts and 1A. Then I looked at the input and the car charger was 12-24VDC and the wall outlet was 100-240v and 50Hz and 0.15A. I need help please.
I have 3.2 honeycomb and P7500.
I think that this is an internal issue software wise.
If you need anymore information don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks in advance

On stock settings u wont be able to charge the device connected to ur computer and u will get the Red X on the battery icon! Therez a small tweak to activate that feature to activate charge on pc connect but u will loose the mtp connection. As far as this issue... Seems to be a battery proble. Still try to flash and get to stock to confirm.

What do you mean by loosing mtp? Also I'm a bit noobish at this because I just switched from ios. So can you dumb Down what you said a little. And what do you mean by "still try to flash and to get stock to confirm."
Also my problem is wall charging.

I get that if I try use galaxy nexus charger, however if I charge my galaxy nexus with the tab 10.1 charger I have no problems, make sure your using the correct charger, and for the slow charging I have a USB extension cable if I use that it can take up to 12 hours for a full charge
By charger do you mean cable or outlet?
Sent from my GT-P7500 using xda app-developers app
simplest answer is that the red X means that you're not supplying enough voltage to your tablet. You need 2A (A = Amps), computer USB ports generally do 500mA (1/4 of what you need). Phones usually need less. So the reason your tablet won't charge off the phone charger is because it doesn't supply enough voltage; the phone does fine on the tablet charger because it's just oversupplied (don't worry, your phone won't be damaged by this!)
So what you need is:
1) an original charger for this particular tablet (the cable probably isn't the issue, but I've seen cables that can't transmit the full voltage. The nook color is a good example of this)
2) a 2A charger - can't promise any particular ones work though...
3) (and this is the one you should do): You're on XDA. This is a place for folks who root and install custom ROMs on their devices. Most of the ROMs have USB charging built-in (in the Kernel; don't worry about what that means). Install a custom ROM (I'd suggest AOKP). Problem solved, plus you've increased both performance and functionality of your device exponentially. If you're not willing to do this, XDA probably isn't the place for you anyways.

The outlet , the one for my tab is twice as big as my Gnex one, I guessing they both give out different power, get the official charger!! like I said I can replicate that any time I want by using the tab cable with my Gnex outlet,

I found a solution to a problem that was really vexxxxing me. One of my chargers was working and the other (longer lead) all of a sudden started showing the red cross. Ahhh. The solution (http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...galaxy-tab-10-1-not-charging-brand-new-3.html) was to blow very hard on the 30 pins of the charger and hey presto - started charging again without the red cross.
There are solutions to this problem with quite a few custom ROMs. Task's ICS for example has this patched. I am quite certain there are others.
I have a S2 and recently it started developing a problem where it charges slowly like it's plugged into the USB Port, tho it charges from a wall socket. If I let it charge for a bit like that and I unplug the wall charger from the socket and stick it back in it's all ok and charges normally.
Does this have smth to do with my charger or with my phone???
Recently I changed the rom and kernel so it's nothing related to that. (i'm on stock kernel, rooted now and before i was on what i have in my signature)
Thanks
I'd try using a different adaptor. If you're rooted I'd also recalibrate the battery. If problem persists a new battery may be needed.

I changed the battery not even a year ago... swtiched to the 2000mah one
I'm thinking a faulty charger that doesn't wanna charge unless he gets a bit heated up, as in a faulty capacitor
Dunno yet... will try the battery recalibrate stuff first

Go to Settings -> About phone -> Status. The Battery Status will show you how the phone is charging, by USB or AC. If you use the wall charger and the phone says Charging (USB) instead of Charging (AC) then your charger might be faulty.
