Hello
is it normal that my s3 doesnt charge while plugged in AC while playing games and music ???
my battery goes low if playing games during charging !!!
my friends s3 charge normally in this same condition !
can someone please tell me why is this happening
If you are not using the original charger i think is normal, (it happens to me too)
for example I am using the MHL adaptor connected to the tv usb conection, it works fine but the battery goes down at low rate but it does not charge never.
Are you using the original adaptor and usb cable?
That could be normal. Because some games use lots of juice, sometimes nearly 1000mA or more and thats the charging capacity of AC adapter. So it's normal if your phone does not show much charging while you play game.
You should not worry if your phone charge normally say 2-3 hours on AC without phone usage.

It may be problems if you are using the original charger provided by samsung.
thanks for your help and yes im using the original charger !
My friend is not having this issue i dont know why but i think its just me :S
ill try a different charger and see if that helps !

Hey guys i just wanted to knw if ur phone lasts the same when charging using the laptop and using the wall charger bcoz mine is nearly 60% ie. lasts 40% less when i charge using wall charger.
Does anybody else is facing this too ??
That's an interesting observation, ill have too check. Though the laptop would be a slow charge and a cleaner regulated current due to the power regulator in the laptop's charger

yeah laptop charging is nearly half or less than half speed of wall charging ..
there is no difference between AC or USB power from a PC, but charging it with a PC takes a lot more time, because your USB port has not the power/current
i usually always use the wall charger it came with. But i remember that sometimes when i use any other charger it either wont even recognize the cable or not charge at all specially car chargers
when i charge my battery via adapter .......
sometimes instead of charging it starts discharing ......
idk what happens ...... !!!

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

my mothers camera does not charge with a usb cable while when I put the cable in the camera the charge button is on.
I did not know there are still differences in USB cables ...

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.
hey guys and girls
this morning i woke up and decided i was gunna plug in my s3 because it was low on battery and i wanted to play some temple run 2. phone was on about 30 percent when i put it on charge (ac charger) and when i finished playing i returned to the home screen to find my battery on 23 percent! it recognized the charger and had the charging symbol but it wouldnt charge
i unplugged it from the ac charger and have it in my computer and its gone up a percent so is it a faulty ac?
you are not the only one having problem with charging using samsung original usb cable.
try any other charger like amazon kindle charger or blackberry charger or any other that can fit yr s3. I am sure it will work for u.
my phone also does not charge using smasung cable so I use kindle charger and it charges my phone very fast. hope this helps u.
Donno if its the regular case of 'bad usb port'. It's happening only when I'm charging with specific car charger (1A, output 5V) sometimes its charging fine, sometimes I notice its stop charge and the icon of battery is blinking/flashing...
I've tried to clean the usb cable and port from dust, maybe the cable got some dust into it?
Also I've notice that the temperature of device goes down to 22°C when its happening...
At any other chargers (include othe car chargers and other wall chargers) there is no problem at all...
What could be the reason of this specific car charger (it used to work without any problem the last few months ago)?
High/Low voltage? Dust?
maybe other problem with my device? (Battery/something else)
BTW - when I plug the charger out when its happening its stop blinking.
could you please give us a screenshot?

From reading your post, it only happens with that one charger....any other charger works as expected?
That being the case.....it ain't your phone or the USB port/board in the phone.....
Chargers DO fail, and from my experience, dc to dc step down transformers and circuitry (the type in your car charger) have a higher failure rate than their ac to dc (mains) equivalents. ....
Time to buy a new car charger methinks

@wishmas7er - which screenshot mate? when its happens all I see is blinking/flashing battery icon, without any other message or something else about it.
@keithross39 - correctly mate, all other charger (any kind of them) works just fine.
Yeah seems like its the car charger problem, just first time i've notice it...
Thanks!
BTW - the reason of 'bad touch' while charging with some generic chargers is because higher amperage then should be to this device's battery? or other reason?
As long as the amperage is not ludicrously high or low, the only noticeable difference would be the charge time.....other than that there should be no noticable effect....

Battery Icon Flashing with Samsung Galaxy S4 Car Charger
I had the same problem charging my Galaxy S4 in the car. AC charging works fine but when plugged into the DC car charger the battery indicator icon flashed rather than showing the lightning bolt.
I purchased a higher voltage DC charger adapter, same symptom.
Finally I swapped out the USB-to-micro cable and now it works fine. I suspect that in the car the phone gets jarred over time and it wears down the micro-USB connector.
It's not just you fella........
The micro USB socket idea is (imo) a pathetically fragile arrangement for what the manufacturers intend it to do. I've repaired two phones with worn out sockets, and judging by what I am reading on XDA, it is an issue that is getting more and more common.........

So I'm experiencing the same blinking problem with my note 4. Each time the lightning icon blinks the phone vibrates in sync with it. And ithe galena with all charges. I have to keep unplugging and replugging ...and OCCASIONALLY it charges. I don't know what's the problem

I have same problem with my nexus 4.
After some googling I came across an app called Ampere.
This app tells you how much rate of current your battery is charging at.
So what i found is that when phone gets old the battery doesnt hold up charge as before. So the charge rate becomes slow. The nexus charger is rated at 1Amp and at the time of charging is able to provide low current than the rate at which the battery is draining. So the Android gets confused between charging and discharging.
For eg: if phone is charging at 300mA and draining at 350mA.
Also the battery draining rate is constantly changing. So when its greater than charging rate phone shows discharging and if less : charging...
Fix: There are three fixes which i can think ...
1) Get a higher Amp rated charger...
2) while charging close most of apps , dont play games , switch to a lower gen network like 2g , close wifi , close data which will reduce the discharge rate of the battery.
3) Get a new battery.
So I'm experiencing the almost the same blinking problem with my note 4. Each time the lightning icon blinks the phone vibrates in sync with it. It won't come on it won't reboot I've tried everything BUT replace the battery because if I plug it up it'll vibrate and blink but nothing else works. It's completely black when it's unplugged.
can anyone help me fix my phone. my phoine is S3 using foxhound rom 2.5 i charge my phone. use it for messaging or playing a bit but my battery drains. i doesnt happen before. its only now that my battery drains while charging... im using my AC outlet charger.
Try another charger and lead first.
Try another USB cable. Samsung cables are known to be of bad quality. If the charger + USB cable doesn't work, then most probably your charging port is not functioning. I had the same problem with my phone, gave it to the service center and the phone started charging again.
You can even try blowing air in the port. Sometimes dust gathers in there and that prevents the phone from charging.
Hope I helped.
