Charging but discharging - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This doesn't make sense. My phone is charging but my battery is discharging. I've changed batteries but it's not the issue.
What could it be?
Thanks

Some, if not all ROMs have a feature to have screen on while charging, is that what you're describing?

No my phone doesn't charge the battery when it says charging... I've changed batteries but issue is still there

That's a weird situation, somehow your battery just isn't getting voltage. Get an external charger, they sell 2 batts and an external charger for less than $20 on amazon.

I actually had the same issue when I first installed a custom rom on my s3. All I had to do to fix it was run a quick nandroid restore. Other's that I've talked to who had this issue told me to try different kernels, specifically kernels designed around battery life. Hope this helps

K just had the same problem on my vibrant running cm10 nightly. It was cause the way I fashed the kernel. (Your battery should be at full charge when flashing kernels) its just better this way lol

Charging while powered off on CM7??

I recently flashed CM7 and I have noticed that when I power the device off and plug the AC wall charger into it the phone automatically rebooted itself to the homescreen and will not charge while powered off regardless of what I do. I was just wondering if anyone else was having this problem and if there are any known remedies for this issue? Thanks.

I have galaxy s 2 with miui and that won't charge when off, which is not good when battery totally drained, as now can not charge phone
had to buy 2nd battery, did you find a solution?
May go back to stock rom and try
Just fyi jt resolved this months ago. It had something to do with the kernel if I remember correctly. Any kernel from mid August on should be resolved.

Yes, yes it should be. I thought that was obvious though.

Phone takes too long to charge

Suddenly my phone takes up to 20 hours to complete charge. What's the problem? Charger or battery?

Custom rom?
First thing to try is to wipe battery stats when it's fully charged.
If that didn't fix it, ask around and switch chargers with someone.
A new battery is the last option being that it's the most expensive solution and the hardest to test.

Check kernel wakelocks using better bettery if you find "usb bus active" then this is your problem.

Charging problem

So I unfortunately ended up with the charging bug.
When I put my phone In the wall charger it doesnt want to charge. The charging indicators all turn on but I still lose battery.
I've tested the cord and charger on my friends phone and they work. I've also put in a different battery with the same result. Also booted into safe mode.
Help?

Replace the phone?
I've never had that problem, so have no clue. But if rebooting and pulling the barry doesn't do it, I'd take it to sprint.
What's the rating of charger u are using?

Stock charger my friend.
No apps because it started on the aokp job build 8. I switched back to stick rom but even that didn't help

Yes I think u r right but you see, we guys are not professional or experts. So we can only suggest some possible solution my friend.
And if someone is in trouble, these possibilities can lead him/her to the solution of the problem..
I hope u understand...

I would try reverting back to stock, and if that doesn't work, then i would get a replacement. Sounds like a hardware issue.

I would flash back to a stock ROM and start there. Make sure it is not hardware before you start changing software settings.
Can i flash a stock rom with 9% with odin mobile lol

I'd try putting it on USB charge first. It might just be your charger has gone US rather than anything to do with the phone OS or software. Looking at those first screenshots I'm wondering about the 'discharging' 'charging' going on. To me that sugests the charger itself is not staying on charge mode.
The SIII gets 'stuck' sometimes says Samsung, they said it was a software issue so hopefully they'll fix it soon
Possible temp fix: turn off phone (works 90% of time for me)

Flashed stock ics an hr ago and I'm up to 30% that's the highest it's gotten to in the last 24 hrs. So think it's safe to say I'm back in business.
Very strange behaviour though!

I think that your charger is bad. Try some rooted jb os with latest siyah kernel,then try to charge your phone with usb. Latest syiah kernel have tweaked usb charge to 900mA. You have managed to recharge a little bit because ics has weaker wireless than jb.
Sory for my bad english
Cant be bad charger because I've tried 2.
As soon as I flashed stock t-mobile ics the charging went back to the way it should be.
Was running latest overcome jb. Was working fine. Something must of gotten corrupted?
Only thing that fixed it was flashing stock.
Anyway crisis averted. Just glad Im not having to send it away to samsung.

Bizarre battery stats...

Hi all,
Phone was plugged in overnight, though it doesn't seem to reflect that here. That being said, I am still mystified by this battery life chart. Any ideas???
