S3 discharging and charging slowly - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello xda. Lately I've flashed jellybean update from sammobile. Since the beginning it was pretty unstable and then yesterday out of no where it started charging really slow and at times begins discharging itself too. I've the stock charger and cable. Plus I've flashed cm10 and omega too but no avail. Should I flash it back to ics? I know there's no issue with charger and cable.

Any other solutions? I want to keep This rom (omega 33.2)
I have this problem to.. i want to say after flash omega rom while charging the led is red but is a black-red .. now dont have a higher bringhnes.
I tried all popular kernels. 4-5 h for full batery
Sorry for my en.

How did you install Omega?
Full Wipe?
If you didn't do a full wipe, I would start with a fresh install, with a full wipe, or alternatively, Wipe Delvic Cache, Cache,Format System, Format Preload, and finally Fix Permissions.
Slower charging appears to be coming more of a common problem for people on JB now.
I had notice a decreased charge rate, however after a full wipe, and updating to Syiah 1.8 it appears to have returned back to normal.

I have a frash install (with full whipe ) and i just installed siyah 1.8 but nothing yet..
Format System ? :blink: Why?

I use Mega Wipe toolkit (with aroma installer) and i "delete" everything from my phone, then i reflash omega rom v33.2 and i flash kernel syiah v1.8 and i have no good results..
The same black-red led while charging . Now i wait to see if the charging time is better.
Thanks for the idea any way.
Any ideas?
LE the problem persist....

Another ROM flashed the same problem....
Next step: iPhone 5
Just joke XD

Omega V34 same problem.... sad.

Stock firmware.. the same ..
Wen the phone is off the charging is normal

Same problem here! Takes up to 12 ours before it is fully charged!

yea. same here. clean stock rom without root. hp battery drop even charging thr.
hope samsung find this out

Freezing on Me At All Times

Pretty much copy and paste, but I have updated it with latest info.
geokilla said:
So this is weird... In four days, the ROM or phone has froze on me about half a dozen times now. The first time when I was setting it up by as I had just done a flash of the ROM. While setting it up, the phone decided to suddenly slow down all of a sudden to a crawl, up to the point where everything started to get washed out and freeze on me. Force restart by holding Volume Up + Power was the only solution to fix it. Just now, my sister had it connected to her computer and was transferring music over into the internal SD when suddenly, the same thing happened. Again, only solution was to force restart. Anyone have this happen to them before? Everything is completely stock except that we're on Dorimanx 5.3 kernel. Then the other times, it would either slow down and freeze in the CWM Recovery Menu, or when she is texting, playing games, etc. There aren't that many apps installed at all. Reflash of kernel doesn't solve the problem.

Could it be that I need to flash the phone with official ICS + bootloader + PIT? I jumped straight from stock Gingerbread to custom ICS.

try doing a wipe data/factory reset as that is normally a fix to these kind of problems. Also clear cache and dalvik and that should fix the problem!

Do not use the .pit file unless you understand 100%sure about what you are doing. That's probably the easiest way to bork your device.
Edit: try flashing a different kernel. Try dark knight or fluxi. I think it would solve your issues

I would get an official rom, and flash it with odin, (no repartition is required) then install your fav. custom rom
just my 2 cents

I can't wipe data/factory reset in CWM for some reason when I first tried to install the custom ROM. Never tried again... I wonder if it's because my I9100 is brickable.
I have cleared cache and dalvik cache but no luck. It even slowed down and froze in CWM Recovery.

I know what I'm doing. Flashed with PIT many times before on my Captivate. Haven't tried PIT on her I9100 though. I haven't broken my phone with PIT yet, even though there's quite a few PITs out there lol.
I've read of others running the same combo as me, but they're fine so I wonder what else could cause this...

The ICS ROM from the Q&A Sticky should work right? Her I9100 is brickable so.... Gotta be careful.
Flash a stock rom, go to sammobile.com and find one then try again?

If I helped you press thanks!
format cache/data/system , then make all wipes , then put your phone in download mode , flash a stock ROM from samfirmware.com , then root your phone !
Running the latest Dorimanx 5.5 kernel and still getting the same problem. In fact, I noticed that if you set it to Performance under Kernel Tweaks in Recovery, the problem is more apparent. Setting it to default causes the issue too.

[Q] Problem with Rom

hi everybody.
i'm not new in this forum but i onl now registered so i cant post in the android development section ( or so the site says)
i have a Samsung Galaxy S II ( GT-i9100)
i was using a CM10 based Paranoid android Rom for a long time and it was great.
a few days ago i wanted to use a new ROM - [ROM 4.1.2 - 4.2] JellyBam - 20121115 [AOKP.CM10.PARANOID] [AROMA] [SPACESTYLE]
i did exactly what the instructions said :
Put Rom zip in internal SD
wipe data + cache + Dalvik
install rom - using siyah Kernel 5.0.1
after the install the Rom lodas fine and seems to work great but after the first time i need to restart the phone it get stuck in the boot animation
i tried doing another Cache + Dalvik wipe after the install but it still happens
when i was searching the Rom's Forum , no one seemed to had the same problem, and that is why i am posting this here.
if any one can help i will be grateful.
thanks in advance
shlomo
p.s.
for now i went back to a Nand backup of my old rom...
hi there.
i manged to fix the first problem by flashing the rom with a different kernel - Dorimanx...
but now i have a different problem
everytime that i turn the phone on i get the messege "upgrading android"
and there are times that the phone turnes off for no reason (mainly when i get incoming calls)
and after that when i turn it back on again the battary is almost dead - today it happened when i had 70% and when i turned in back on the battary went down to 4%!!!
what can i do???
1.Wipe data/factory reset
2.Format /system
3.Flash the ROM (choose whatever Kernel in aroma)
4.Wipe cache
5.Wipe dalvik
6.Restart
Try that.
edit: oh and if the battery problem persists, calibrate your battery (there are plently of guides out there i'm sure you can find)
Thankx for the help, ill try that (again). Just a few questions.
Do you recommend a specific kernel (if j usr siyah i seem to get a bootloop)
What guide do you recommend to calibrate the battary, there are allot of them out there that i dont kbow which to use
Thanks again.

u can use Dorimanx v7.22 kernel ma8
also battery callibration apps will not aid u in any way on ur SGS2, since it comes with seperate Fuel gauge chip
u can use the 'Stweaks' app that comes with the Dorimanx kernel and do a 'Reset Fuel gauge chip' in it to have a better reading with ur battery

thanks for the advice about the kernel, ill do that
about the fule guge chip - what exacatly does it mean that the phone have a separate one? and if i do reset it using ths stweaks, than what - is that all it takes to recalibrate the battary?

You can reset the fuel gauge chip, and if it doesnt work you can try the following: charge the battery to 100%, leave it on the charger. Go to recovery, wipe battery stats under advanced. Reboot, unplug from charger.
Hope it helps.
Edit: I think I read somewhere that its recommended to leave the battery to fully discharge after wiping bat stats (let the phone turn itself off) and then recharge again.

hi .
i did what you said and for some reason it erased my External SD card.... where i had all my backups!!
edit: first few times it worked well... now i have a bootloop again and nothing works....
another Edit : figured it out. it didnt erase my External SD, i Just can mount it. not from the system itself and not from the recovery either...
when i connect the phone to my PC it dosent show up also
Why don't you try Rootbox? Jelly bam is based on it anyway, why not try the rom from the dev instead of a cook

well... tried Rootbox and i gotta say its a nice rom.
bot not more then that... the paranoid android settings are all wonky there and i still get many bootloops - even you can work around them by turning on and off...
going to try P.A.C Rom
any advice would be appreciated
Edit: well, tried P. A. C Rom, worked well to start with. But then again it started a bootloop for no reason... For now went back to a nand backup of jellybam from 16/11 that seems to be the most stable. Why does this keep happening???

My phone is officially crazy

Where do i begin?
My phone has these random reboots every day, and random crashes during the weirdest times. Like im sending a text and all of the sudden it just reboots . Im not even running a kernel . I receive double text messages and my battery drains a lot. It's just crazy . Last thing it does is that it likes to be on 3G when 3G doesnt work with me somehow. I have to wait till it shows that 4G or H symbol to get data. anyways I know it's not the ROM cause it happens in every ROM i try. Its not the battery cause I've only had it for like 4 months. What is it? i do a full wipe every time i install a ROM too and Yes I am S-off for those of you who are wondering. Are there any fixes to any of my problems? it really pisses me off.
I would full wipe, reinstall Rom and see what happens. Back- up first!
Ok well i say try the unofficial cm10 latest version if u r on it already re installing with 4ext recovery do a full wipe, cache and dalvik wipe and then flash cm10 and jellybean gapps onto it battery life is better then many others and if not satisfied lower the cpu top speed...

Oh well try that to fix it download stock and lock your phone through htc method and install it then re root and unlock and for a sense rom i would recommend nightmare sense 4.0 awesome sense rom but i only like the sense camera thats why i dont use it

It installs a stock RUU, but with some modifications (changes only the splash screen, recovery, and hboot), but the rest of it is 100% stock
Also, it's an easy way to install the RUU

No your problem was that you were probably never full wiping and that was causing the issues as your phone works perfectly fine after a full wipe (what the stock ruu does) and your battery can go bad after 4 months I went through 2 in 8 months

[Q] Hard brick Samsung Galaxy SII

Hi, i'm a new user of SG SII, and i don't know much about it. I was trying to install new ROM on it, first I tried to unroot my phone with CF ROOT, after that everthing was OK. Then i tried to install REVOLT JB i9100 ver 2.8.2, when i got by CWM in recovery, instead of clicking wipe data, then cache and ccache partition i did: wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache partition, wipe dalwik cache and format system. I flashed kernel and during ROM installation phone turned off and did turn on. i think it's hard bricked. I don't know what to do, please help.
Are you still able to get into don't download mode o your phone ? ( volume down, home key, power button )
If so, reflash your kernel and go from there.
Also have a look at CyanogenMod, they have a good post with instructions on here.

no, phone doesn.t response on anything, even if i'm charging the battery.
Try removing your battery and unplug cables.
Then try download or recovery mode again.
If it really doesnt work then there is probably something fried on your system board, doubt anything you can do about it as i had the same not that long ago out of the blue.

You can always tell them that you were updating via kies and it dropped dead just like that.
Your battery was low when you tried to flash it, wasn't it?
try a jig first tho; there's something fishy about those wipes you mentioned.

On some occasions flashing a device can use 40-50% of battery to prep and flash device which is why its advised to never flash your phone unless you have at least 50-60% battery.
If power cuts out during flashing procedure it can damage nand/ic chip, corrupt bootloader, corrupt sdcards etc.
After leaving it plugged into to charger overnight try a USB jig to see if you can get it to wake up in download mode, If you can re-flash rom and go from there.

From what you described, it couldn't have hard bricked your phone. In fact, it isn't easy to hard brick our phone unless you install that infamous ICS 4.0.4 leaked ROM or mess with flashing of PIT file. Try to use another fully charged battery to boot up or go into CWM recovery.

while i was installing new rom, process was like 0% for about 5 minutes, and then phone just turned off. When i did flashing and installing CWM everything was ok. I rooted it with CF root.
Exact same problem here. Followed the root guide to the letter and all OK. Set omega rom installing and it stayed at 0 for five mins then it shut off. Now no life at all.
Gonna build a jig tomorrow so I'll update here if it works.
Really hope so as it's a mates phone.
I've done my s3, s1 and the Mrs s2 without it going wrong so I'm not sure how it went wrong this time.

Your phone have got super brick, and the JIG nothing to do.... You must go to service.
The reason for this is stock kernel who has kode cause brick.

P.S. the only way it does not give me these issues is to treat it as a brick and restore to stock gingerbread
How old is the actual battery? Is it bulging at all? Might want to try a fresh battery. The battery with a full charge but is dead after reboot is a sign of bad battery.

Sounds like you have done your reading, but I have to ask, how clean are you?
Personally, I wipe 3 times
Flash rom 2 times
Gapps 1 time
Wipe davlik and cache
Wait 10
Reboot again and do your thing

That is a given i have learned from past experience that wiping just once sometimes just is not good enough. strangely enough i returned the phone to stock unrooted. from there i install hybrid rom and did not have any issues the battery said it was a full charge the phone stayed on did not reboot untill today this afternoon i went and logged into facebook and the second it logged in bang there was the reboot. before that i made calls and went tot he play store etc etc with no hiccups this is really got me stumped
Wiping data and cache is not always good enough. You should also format your system partition. If not you will have system files from the previous ROM on your phone even though you do a full wipe.
Your issue may be with the way you are rooting your phone. Install your factory ROM using odin. Then use odin to flash CWM or TWRP recovery. Then flash a superuser version using recovery. The tutorial you spoke of mentioned kernels and you may be flashing a kernel for gingerbread on a JB ROM. This would definitely mess your phone up. Stay away from the kernels mentioned in this thread as the info is ANCIENT. After rooting (actually you don't even need to install superuser to flash a custom ROM) install your custom ROM. And only flash kernels recommended for that particular ROM.
Agoatamers words are always solid. I myself dont like to flash alternate kernals as they often seem to invite more maintainence. If it doesnt work with kernal built with, then I dont use.

I have been in this game for a while now and i have flashed more androids than i can count this phone is not the first note that I have flashed but it is the only one that i have seen this issue with as far as flashing kernels i did not use the kernels in that post untill i had returned to stock with GB then i used them the way you mentioned above is the way this phones was flashed several times I have tried many different roms without flashing kernels and then as last result tried a few defferent kernels as well to see if the kernel was an issue as i have had issues with kernels in the past on the SGS2 doing this with crappy kernels, although they were an easy fix flashing siyah pretty much fixed that issue. here is an update on the phone situation. i have been running hbrid rom for almost 24 hours with no reboot (fingers crossed, knock on wood ) the only thing i have done different I did switch batteries due to being out and my primary batt died and used my back up so i do believe it very well may have been the battery, the battery is not bulging as of yet but that does not mean anything as the battery could still be bad so we will see again fingers crossed i will kep this updated for at least 48 hours as long as there is no more problems i will mark this as solved via the battery replacement
