I had installed checkrom v4 with siyah kernel 2.67 on my phone and friends phone, both are runing exactly the same rom and kernel , but now his phone has a problem where wben he power it off than on he gets a battery charging screen , even though nothing is plugged in. His phone won't boot until he plugs a charger in . Not sure why it does this since it was working fine last week, and this just started yesterday. Anyone know what could cause this ?

Strange, try clear cache and advanced/dalvik followed immediately by flash the latest
Siyah kernel 2.6.11

There are threads on this already. It's usually a hardware problem - the charging port. Some people have fixed it by cleaning the charging port with some chemical cleaner.
I had the same sort of problem when I had the S1. It fixes itself when I left it plugged in a charger for over a week. I think it was caused by a rain drop getting in the charging port.
Probably just Google the problem to find the other threads etc on xda and elsewhere.

The issue seems to be fixed for now... What I did is full wipe data/cache/dalvik 3 times followed by re install of the Rom/kernel and now on the third wipe/re install that problem doesn't happen anymore , which is very odd. I seriously thought it was something to do with the charging port but now since its fixed I don't know what to think anymore. Thanx for the input guys.
hello all
i have a very peculiar problem with my s3. I have been using official unbranded poland rom (I9300XXBLH1), flashed it over the rom that came stock on it, since i got the device without any problems. when 4.1.1 offical came out and it was for poland i went on sammobile, grabed the rom, flashed and at first all seemed fine until i tried to charge the phone.
first the phone didn't charge at all then it charged some but i noticed that red led does not shine as birght when the phone doesnt charge, it goes dim. the cable and charger are fine, tested with other combos and on other phones all works fine. the phone also charges fine when its turned off.
now the peculiar part... once i rooted, wiped everything from recovery and reverted back to poland 4.0.4 all charging issues disappear. wiping everything again then installing 4.1.1 reintroduces the charging problem, this was my first thought - bad flash, but it wasn't.
why does my s3 respond this way to jelly bean, have others had similar problems? any info apriciated
I got the same problem
I got this same problem in my S3. Now my S3 have a crazy behaves related charging and its begin to happen about the second day that I did update. And I did the official update that popped up in my screen.
So any one could help us to figure out what going on?
Thanks in advance!

in the meantime i tried super wipe script and numerous custom roms based on 4.1.1 and they all have the same charging issue. not that its surprising just thought its worth mentioning. i am really confused by this.

guys try few things
1. use only genuine usb cable / charger
2. use genuine usb cable + iphone wall charger - it may sound crazy but for me it made the difference.
3. use other cable
i was facing similar problem, it went off by charging with charger that i had at home from SGS1. i a mable to charge it again.
they are few topics around about bad quality USB pin on phone, or even battery, or low charger quality.
if nothing would work you have to contact the shop/carrier and claim repair/refund/exchange
and i think its not software issue... check

I have exactly the same problem with omega v27 jelly bean
I have installed lots it ICS roms but this never happened....i am sure its some software problem cuz everyone seems to get this after the jelly bean update.
And charing from 0% to 100 % took me around 8 hours
Anyone else facing this problem?

well, i have already stated in original post that i have tried different cable/charger combo and that every single cable and charger i tried works just fine on other phones i have around the house. heck, all of them work fine on s3 too when on ics but not if jelly bean is installed. so it aint the chargers, its the software in the phone.
also those threads were started some months ago, the issue here is different, charging problems did not come "out of the blue", they come and go with jelly bean installation, that's the weirdest part.
I think this is connected with Fast Dormancy.
First time when I flashed Omega 27 (Jelly Bean) I got same problem.
Than I turn off Fast Dormancy and this problem turned off too

this is what fast dormancy is and how to disable it, i have no idea how a network feature would be connected to a charging problem... i would understand if it was battery drain problem...
im going to flash 4.1.1 again, discharge the battery then charge it while the phone is off... see if that helps

I'm also having this problem. As an added twist, my phone is plugged into a Viewsonic GTablet at night. It worked fine under ICS, under JB it only charges around 70-75%. Better Battery Stats says "usb cb wake lock" and "usb device wake lock" were both active the entire time with 69.5% while the phone was charging. "secril_fd-interface" (FD) had 1.6%, so I don't think that is my issue. I will try again tonight with a normal charger and see if it makes a difference. I have the red charging light and other notifications disabled at night, my wife and I both have GSIII's and it looked like a disco the first night before we turned those off
Just thought I would throw that out there.
Temp solution for charging problem...
Hi all,
I too face the same problem. But it is not the fault with Cable or charger but with JB ROM Only. Someone in this post said that charging took 8 long hours from 0-100%. This is because your phone thinks that it is charging from a USB power source rather than AC power source. This can be verified from the battery screen in settings menu. This is a problem with JB kernel which needs to be addressed.
But as a workaround, just unplug the charger from the phone and again plug it back.T S3 will consider that it is charging now from a powersource (will be shown as AC in the Battery screen under setting menu). If it doesnt come the first time, try repeating for a couple more times (try unplugging from the charger end rather from the phone end)... this will resolve temporarily this charging issue, till the kernel permanent fix comes out....
Just came to share my agony..my cell has been on wall charger since 24 hrs and is still just 80%.
So as u guys said,I am staying optimist and waitin for some sort of kernel fix.
Any updates on this issue?
BTW I'm on Wanam 3.7 with siyah 1.6RC3
Need help to get my phone functional again
Today I plugged my s3 into HP envy17's USB(one that specifically says charging port)
Now it my cell is charging at rate of around ~14%/hr which previously charged at rate of around ~5%/hr only
Thought I should share,it's definitely something wrong with how JB manages the charging,possibly defective drivers...any fix any 1
Same here guys, samsung deseption u.u
ok i'm back with doing some experiments...
charging the battery to full while the phone is off then discharging it completely (doing a cycle, so to say) didn't really give any results, i even did this twice, purging batterystats from cwm also did nothing...
i just wanna clarify something... do all of you also experience the dimmed red charging light when screen is off? we should prob notify samsung through official bug report service or something...
get into recovery mode by CWM >advanced > reset battery stat > reboot
i think it ll work

Try charging the Battery using external charger. ...
It could be a problem in your charging port... else put back the stock ICS and try charging. .

I had the exact same issues you have after flashing the LSJ Rom.
First I had huge battery drain, then my phone rarely managed to recognize the charger/USB cable
However, I kind of managed to fix it for two days now.
What I did was; pull out the battery for a couple of hours. Afterwards, I tried to charge it a bit and flash my old rom (CM 10.1)
Not sure if this was the reason for the fix, but you could try it.
so i should to turn back to ics
but mode download doesnt work because of the phone dont detecte usb/charger
i wanna do it via recovery
i flash into ics 4.0.3
i upgraude via wifi to 4.0.4 but still the same probleme
i dont understand when i connect my phone to odin via cabel USB that work. but without odin just plug it didnt work
Kies installed?
You should have read about battery drain in JB leak...it's kinda better than ICS.
i fix that by a technician
he told me he fix that by washing with a product that all, he not change connecteur with other one just fix it
now i worry if this probleme came back hhhhh
For like a month or 2,I have had charging problems with my gs3.Sometimes,when I plug it in the wall charger and leave it charging it would either charge really slowly or not charge at all.Usually,unplugging the charger then putting it back makes it charge properly again.I have been running jelly bean(4.1.1,4.1.2 and 4.2.1 leak) 2 weeks after getting my gs3 back in october.The usb cable is working fine because my PC detects my gs3 when I plug it in.I tried 6 different wall sockets and the problem happens in all of them + my other phones charge in them without problems.I did a couple of factory resets when I was changing between ROMs so a factory reset doesn't fix it if someone was going to suggest doing it.What could be the problem ? I hope this is not related to SDS
It is related to the fact that the OEM charging units were rubbish and unreliable, try any generic 5v charger ie S1/S2/BlackBerry, they all work for me
Have you tried to clean the micro usb port?
AW: Charging problems
You can monitor the charging state with the app "Galaxy Charging Current" which can be found for free in the S3 subforum here on XDA.
|| Typed with my S4 Octa-Beast or my Note 10.1 ||
ok I will try cleaning the port and I will use galaxy current state app but I can't post the results right away because it sometimes charges well from the 1st time.

I got a gs2 charger but not in this house,if everything failed I will go get it some time later.
Btw,I got a question.Is this a common problem with the GS3 ? or at least with the stock charger ? I just want to be sure there's nothing wrong with my GS3 and to decide whether its worth sending it to customer service(and they might tell me to keep it there for a couple of days) or not if everything failed.

THe original cable that came with the s3 was really bad. I use my brother's htc one v cable, works much better
Hi
I fixed it temporally... i don't how long.. but.. here is:
1 eject the battery
2 plug the charger
3 insert the battery
4 wait until the phone recognizes the level of battery (first appears a icon with the baterry and a flash, and next the icon with the battery level)
5 unplug your charger
6 turn on the phone.
I think that internally it has another internal batt that keeps the clock running, and keeps the battery meter alive. If this metter screws with hard customizations (like when you install a custom rom, or kernel), you just need to restart it while android is not running.

I forgot that I got an ace plus charger with me here.Been using it since I last posted in this thread and my gs3 charges flawlessly.I guess the problem was really in the charger.
Hi All,
Recently rooted my phone with a custom kernel and the phone does not charge when powered off for both wall USB or PC USB. It displays the grey charging battery and after 1 minute switches to the same graphic but with actual battery level and %. If I'm charging via computer, I can hear it make a USB connection sound at this point and after 5-10 seconds it disconnects. and the grey battery graphic comes back. And then this whole process repeats over and over again. The phone charges perfectly when its ON though, no problems at all! Only when its OFF do I have this issue.
I've tried Siyah, Speedmod, Dorimanx kernels with a combination of ROMs but it always has the same issue. Flashing back to Stock ROM fixes this offline charging issue. I think the issue is Kernel. The cable is not a problem cause I've switched it and I've cleaned the USB port on the phone. Changing back to stock ROM always works.
Anyone else have this problem? It's a serious one because if the battery ever dies out on me, I won't be able to charge it back unless I use an external charger.
bump?
huh ? its really messy one.
Man just flash neatrom with apolo (included inside aroma).
