[Q] my galaxy s3 is not charging normally - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello ,
my phone is not charging normally.
sometimes i see USB charging while im charging it on AC.
i wiped my phone and tried installing a new ROM and a new kernel ( ARHD 15 and perseus kernel) still the problem exists !
After i unplug and replug , my phone can charge again ! but this problem happened to me 10 times and i still cant fix it !
any solutions ?

Hey buddy,....
I dont think so that is the probelm of your phone...
1. On wall charge , check whether its perfectly fits or not... (the same thing happend to me also)
2. Always use original Data cables... coz some of the data cables are made for low end device only.. they may not support USB charging..
Try to use Backside USB ports rather than Front USB s....
:good:

[Q] S2 not charging

Hey
my s2 wont charge from the wall charger or the pc. I tried
1- clean the port with comppressd air and a needle-no luck.
2- I swap batteries-no luck.
3- changed roms including going back to stock, formmating, wipe data and so on-NO LUCK.(now runing ics 4.03 rooted with speedmod 3.1 kernel)
4- tried other chargers and cables.
apperantly im facing hardware issue.I took it to a lab and they told me that it's not the usb flex cable but it's something to do with the voltages in my s2(they didnt know how to fix it) is anyone know what he was talking about or if there is anything to do other than sending it to samsung for reapir??maybe an app or something?
p.s
no warrenty
s2 will connect normally to pc but wont charge
my only option for now is to buy a couple of batteries and a s2 battery charger
Thanks
as you mention, swapping battery don't help, what make you think buying couple of batteries and a s2 battery charger will help?... (ignore this part, i get what you mean now)
you might have hardware failure, but i am not sure either, can provide more info? what do mean by not charging? what did you do prior having this issue?
did you flash any ROM prior to this?
TNX for the reply
prior to that i went to jellybean rom but still i could charge and it also worked well when i went back to ics
my guess is that- I have an old toshiba laptop and i plugged the phone with usb cable and nothing happend, it wont recognize my s2(my s2 was working fine till i plugged it to the toshiba laptop) and now the usb port on my laptop is not working and the s2 is not charging.I think it got zapped and the motherboard or ressistors gave up.everything else is working).
all the tech guy could say that i have different voltages and it's not the usb flex cable.
trying app called voltage control but i dont relly know what setting to use...
i think going to samsung service cetner is my only option...they just gonna tear a hollle in my pocket
your case is a bit complicated. guess service center is the best option for now. normally the phone got voltage limitation which will control the amount of voltage input so you don't fry your phone.

Charge Problem ?

I have recently tried to clean the dust and everything else from the charger/usb port but didnt fix anything.When i connect charger or usb my phone dont charge.Nothing happens.Sometimes when i connect charger it says " USB MTP connection " smth like that.Before that i had a problem... my phone went crazy.My phone opened Driving Mode,Voice Talk etc etc when ever it wants.And i read on net to clean the port.Now i clean the port but charging dont work anymore.But phone dont do strange things anymore.Iy just dont charge.I connected the charger into the port and with a special screwdriver I test if the nergy comes inside the phone,in the place where the battery is puted.The energy comes there but my battery dont show any signal that is charging. So Conclusion : 1.Might be my charging/usb port .Maybe i broken it when i tried to clean. 2. In the other side if the energy comes into the phone than the port is OK and might be my battery. So plz someone tell me if anyone knows what is happening with my phone.Thnnxx

First try with an alternate battery and see if charging wrks fine, just to conclude its not the batt thats the culprit.

[Q] S3 charges only in Download Mode

Hello XDA
This is the first Q I have I managed to work my problems off by myself to this point. Straight to the matter at hand:
My S3 stoped to charge normally on:
Wall socket solid cable charger
Wall socket usb cable charger
USB plug to a PC
External battery
On a turned off device it only shows the loading battery no charging
On a turned on device in normal boot it shows charging but no charge is applied (checked with various software)
It only charges in Download mode (slowlly due to the fact of a turned on screen)
I tried diffrent chargers, cables even batteries nothing really helps
Also its not being recognized by the PC when plugged in in normal boot but it's being discovered in Download Mode.
I was able to flash Stock Rom by ODIN but it also didnt produce a solution.
The only thing that comes to mind is to flash with a repartition but i cannot find the proper *.pit file and I don't want to do this before consulting the community.
I can reset the counter and send it to the service but I think that this is a software issue not a HW one.
Can anyone offer some assistance?
UPDATE:
The device when booted normally and pluged into "holds the charge" it dosent go up but it doesnt go down.
Pretty fun !
I think it's an issue with your kernel. Have you flash your device with a custom ROM and/or kernel ?
Well I was running PAC Rom for S3 at the time so the Kernel was based from that.
After that I Changed to XXEMA2 CodecROM 1053 Black Edition with Siyah Kernel still same outcome... And after that returned to the roots with Stock ROM with Stock Kernel

I have the same problem too.
Did anyone ever fix it?
The phone charges when in recovery/download mode, pulling 300 mA from PSU, but only 60mA when connected and turned on.
Im using a normal usb cable, and have short the D+ & D- Pins.
I've charged the battery in a third party battery charger and that works fine, I also have a wireless charger that too pulls around 60 mA
Maybe you all need to change the USB connector module at the bottom of the phone? I've seen these break or do strange things in many phones including Samsungs. Not sure if they eventually get broken due to overheating or what the issue is, but that would be my guess.
i have a pb in my i9300i my cell going to downloading mode automaticaly

USB port doesn't working anymore (only when it wants)

Hey mates
One month ago, I connected my D6543 (i'm using a D6503 ROM, but half of D6543 users do this and do not have this issue) on charger and it doesn't recognized it, neither give a signal that its charging. Since this day, my device only chargers through magnetic port, and recognized my USB cable only two times during this period. Also, when I shutdown the device with charger plugged, it shows the battery charging screen, but instead of charging, the battery keeps the same level (neither the lightning inside the icon appears).
I'm using ExistenZ 5.6.5 (based on stock .291) and elite kernel v3. Already made a factory reset and reflash the ROM, but the problem persists (even with stock kernel). Also, I'm unable to go back to pure stock because my device isn't detected by my Windows 10 PC (neither by my Win 7)
Can anyone please help me? :crying:
1. Ask yourself, did you do anything that void the charging port that day when you found that you cannot charge your phone?
2. Did you tried to charge your phone with other cables or charger?

S6 Edge, usb problem

Hello everyone,
I am having a problem with my phone for the past 6 months...
I own an S6 Edge and suddently stopped charging from usb ( not at all, it only charges at usb mode, sth like 200-400ma, when the charger is the official Samsung fast charger) plus any pc doesn't recognize my device (pops u a message like unknown device).
I didn't encounter any problem with the phone before those 6 months. I tried factory resets, dalvik cache wipes, safe mode also doesn't work, tried different charger-cable combination, plus I borrowed a new wall adapter and cable and still got the same results.
Is there anything else I can try except taking the phone apart and try replacing the usb module?
Thanks a lot !

Change the usb port I would say. Strange that the pc isn't recognising it though
