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.

Didn't try a new charger... tho i have an iphone one i could use with the usb cable... and see how it goes. But it seems the charger is faulty.
The problem is the charger. A wire was loose in the micro usb charger that tells the phone it's charging from the wall socket and not from usb

adapter?
is it the original wall charger and the usb data cable.?
i too had a problem with an ordinary usb data cable. it charges so sloow. like 1%/20 minutes.
better use the original accesories if its the original one and defective better return it for replacement.
It's probably a cabel problem. Charging occurs only when pins AC and Ground (1 and 5 AFAIK) are both connected, and often some of the pins stop working. If it's not a kernel of power supply problem (Which it probably isn't), it will be solved by simply changing the cable. Or if the cable works in usb charging, buy a new adapter (Make sure it's 5V before buying).
I had the original charger, then broke it...
I bought an USB to replace that(the connector was messed up)... but that charged slow, and discharge when using...(still on the original charger, but another cable)
For 2 months, I borrowed galaxy chargers, and any other friends with cables like mine, I asked them for the charger...
Then, I decided this must stop! I told my mom to find me a galaxy s charger (she was noob, doesn't know I can charge from non-lg cables)...
She found me one, and all fine...
But, before trying to buy one of those, go to a friend with a charger that fits Optimus one, and try it, if it charges faster, then buy a new charger

Our stock charger uses a wall "adapter" and an usb cable... it charges from usb, but the chargers that have no adapter (you can't remove the usb from it), charge lot better, I recommend using one of those... any samsung charger that "fits" in our phone is better than stock charger
In mine it charges rarely ! i had lg normal charger but it stops charging if i lift the cell nd use it! den took my moms samsung pop charger ..it worked fine for few weeks den again same problem arised :-S

I lost mine. I bought 2 for one deal from ebay (noname cables) and they wont charge 30% during al night. So i told them it's faulty and they sent 2 another one. still no charge so i bought an htc one wich seems a bit better, but still not like the original. My friends lg optimus 3d cable was charged it full from ~70% in about 30 mins. His another htc cable was worked fine.
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. :$

Could it be the USB cable?

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.

It happened to me too once. When I checked, the phone was charging at 100 when it should charge at 1000. Unplug abs re-plug the USB from the phone when the charger is connected to the mains. That should solve the issue. :thumbup:

i had this problem too, which i suspect that the charging port on my phone is damaged. anyways microusb ports usually tend to wear out over time and separate from the mainboard slightly giving a intermittent connection.
now i am using a wireless charger and it is charging much faster then my phone on mains.
That is 500ma on wireless vs 1A on wall.

Wireless charger? Whaaaat? Which country you're in? I thought that, it hasn't launched yet.. Atleast in India it has not.
Anyway.. Now I was charging through the normal charger via plug.. It works just fine..maybe in USB debugging my phone was constantly awake.. That may be the problem?

You can perhaps try running a battery calibration app and reset the battery stats to fix?
Hello guys, newbie have strange problem here..
My SGS2 won't charge using wall charger. But I can charge the phone using USB cable.
Anyone ever experience that? I have tried to wipe battery stats through CWM, but it has no effect.
Please give me hint to solve my problem..
Thanks in advance
what wall charger are you using? You using the cable and a computer but it will take forever.
Are you using the official wall charger that came with your phone?
I'm using official wall charger coming with the phone. I also have tried using other wall charger from other samsung phone type. same problem.
So I can only charge using my usb cable now..
this might sound obvious, but have you tried plugging the charger into a different wall socket?
try cleaning the pins on your phone. maybe you have a buildup of dusts or whatever.

Yes, I tried at home and office..
maybe you're right, it's dust problem.. I'll try to make it sure clean..
have you tried a different cable with the wall charger?
Thanks for all the replies. Turn out the problem is on the wall charger. Yes, I've tried with different wall charger (my brother's), turn out the charger also not functional. At that time, I thought my brother's charger works fine so I blame it on the battery.
And then I tried to charge using my friend charger and my phone is able to charge
So I think I'll buy new charger
