[Q] Charging & Backlight - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok here is my problem, only started recently, was rooted and romed but when I connected the charger it was going on charge and off charge, even without moving the cable, so I thought there was a problem, tried it with a new/different cable and it was fine for a while, tried it on the computer and it worked great, but at that point I decided to go back to total stock in case I need to send it back,while trying to use ODIN it was on and off every few seconds (so the problem came back even on the computer), the phone was sat completely still, anyway I finally used used triangle away, and after many disconnections while flashing back to stock through odin, my phone seemed fined for a few days at least.
Now last night I put on to charge as usual, and I woke up this morning with my battery on 48% and my screen lit up, it had been lit up all night, (and no the option to keep the screen awake is not enabled) so my phone didn't charge and the screen was on, now I tried this on a car charger and another computer and it wont put the screen to sleep until I press the sleep button also its on/ff charge all the time
Any Ideas other than a loose Micro usb female connection in the phone?

[Q] Battery problem Venue

Hi to all
Hope that somebody will be able to help me. The battery on my Venue was completely drained last night during a phone call and the phone shut down. I connected the charger, waited for 30 minutes and tried switching it on, but all I got was the info on the screen is a pic of battery with 0% in it. I tried charging it overnight, connecting it to a computer, but nothing happened, each time I try to switch it on, I get that info (battery 0%).
The battery was ok, I was using it for two whole days before it drained so much that it shut down. I have no custom ROM installed, everything is completely from the factory. I tried taking the battery out, SIM card out, SD card out, no luck. Never had my battery completely drained before, so I can't say if this would happen before. Battery worked perfectly until now.
Found an info that it might be due to the battery protection circuit...? Unfortunately, can not take it/send it to Dell as I bought it in US, and I'm in Europe now. Any idea of what I could do? I would really appreciate it...
Thanx!
Ok, here I am, not to jinx it, but I think I resolved it. I tried switching on the phone again, but with no success. Then I tried entering the setup menu (or whatever it's called) by pressing 'volume down' key and on/off switch, in which I succeeded and saw the setup screen. I DID NOT TOUCH OR CHANGED ANYTHING, just left it like that, connected to the wall outlet charger for a few minutes. After the screen shut down on itself, I took out the battery (after unplugging it from the wall outlet) and put it back after a couple of minutes. Then I plugged the phone in the USB slot of my computer and left it like that for 15 minutes. I tried switching it on again and it worked - the battery was on 3% and the status was 'charging'. Now it's on 51% and 'charging'.
I hope that is the end of the problem, I will never let the battery drain out completely again. Just to be on the safe side, I ordered another battery from dell.com.
Hope this helps someone.

[Q] Phone will not charge normally.Also turns on automatically when charger connected

Hi all,
I have recently come across a problem which I cannot overcome by myself and I would really appreciate your help on this!
Phone:
Galaxy S2 (3 UK)
FW:
CM9.0.0
Description of problem:
My phone will not charge the battery. When connected to a charger, it turns itself on and immediately turns back off as there is not enough charge in the battery.
Events leading to problem:
My phone has been functioning perfectly for about 5 months (on CFW) before this happened. I had noticed that my phone ran out of charge abnormally quickly one day before this problem occurred. I did not suspect anything, and put it to charge overnight. The next morning when I woke up, the battery was out of charge (while plugged to the charger!) and the phone was abnormally hot at the area above the battery connectors. During this time, the phone would not turn on. I then unplugged the charger, and let the phone cool down. After cooling down, the phone was able to boot into the OS, but turns off immediately after that due to low charge in the battery.
What I have done so far:
Following suggestions on this thread: forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/36648-galaxy-s2-empty-battery-boot-loop/
I suspected that my phone's firmware/kernel had somehow been corrupted. I then stripped a USB wire according to the thread, and attached it to the appropriate battery connectors allowing me to power my phone and flash the FW+Kernel via ODIN. I have since then flashed various firmwares in this order in attempt to recover my phone: Lite'ning v3.6 > Stock (3 UK Branded) > CF-Root Kernel > CM9.1.0.
Current state of phone:
I managed to charge my battery a little via my stripped USB cable, and started up my phone. After booting into OS on battery without charger connected, I have found that the phone will not charge the battery when connecting the charger while the phone is on.
However, if the OS boots automatically when connecting the charger while the phone is off, the battery status will be "Charging", but the charge goes up very slowly. (6% in 20 minutes?) What's even more weird is that if I take the charger off during this time, the phone immediately turns off. While the phone is sort of "functional" now, I'm really afraid that it will recur if my battery ever goes flat again.
I'm sorry this is such a wall of text, but I'd really like to hear your opinions on this. Thank you so much for reading
Did you solved the problem?
I'm with the same problem.

Whew that was long.. but anyway, i suggest you get the external battery charger, maybe it will do you good.
Have you tried going back to stock and doing a full reset?

[Q] DNA wont turn on

I haven't applied the OTA update, so my phone's on the stock ROM that came before the new one. I have rooted the phone, but it worked fine until today. It died last night and I put it on the charger, but this morning it wouldn't turn on. Now that I have it plugged in, the front LED blinks steadily, and when I hold down the power button or power+volume down buttons, the lower LED bar blinks, but the phone won't turn on. Could something have gone wrong if it tried to automatically install the OTA update while I wasn't using it? Or is there another way to fix this? The problem occurs whether the phone is plugged in or charging wirelessly.
Edit: Solved. The phone booted when I tried again. I still have no idea why it wouldn't work though; I left it on the wireless charger all night, so it should have charged then, but it could have moved off of it. Today it took a solid 10 minutes plugged in to the computer to charge enough to boot. Is that normal? Shouldn't it just use the charging energy to boot?

[Q] HTC One stopped charging after formatting

Hello everyone,
I have an HTC One m7 that's been working perfectly, yesterday i charged it in my car with a normal car charger, after 20 minutes i came back home & plugged it with the wall charger, so it just didn't charge, i tried to connect it with my Mac, still the phone didn't recognize any usb data cable has been connected, changed the charger & cable, same issue, so i turned off the phone, then it started charging in a weird way, a red led with a battery notification appeared, after around 3 seconds it goes off then a dull orange led with a percentage battery appears, then it just goes off with nothing on the screen, & again same thing each time every around 10 to 12 second. So i backed up all my data via WiFi data transfer app after i left it to charge as is overnight, & then i hard reset my HTC One, after it's been formatted, it didn't charge, but even worse, it stopped even charging when it's turned off.
Please help me with some advise
Thx in advance

LG V10 Charging issues

So as of last night my LG V10 has been having major issues with charging. First off I will plug it in and for a second the little battery icon will do the animation and then stop. I went to the battery status screen and it said that the phone was not charging. Secondly it will restart on its own when plugged in and it's not charging. i first noticed something was up about two weeks ago. I left my phone to charge overnight, then I went to use it when I woke up and it was at 1% battery then turned off. I plugged it back in and it charged fine. Later in the day i was on my way to work and I went to check my phone but it would not turn on. I'd press the power key (on the back) and it would just do a quick little vibration but would not turn on. I then took the battery out and put it back in. Since then it has worked fine until last night. i tested out two cables and I tried them both on my PC. T he phone would still not charge. I just went to sleep with it plugged in, hoping it would somehow charge at some point in the night. Woke up and no dice. I tried one last time to charge it and somehow it charged normally. All the way to 100%. I could even use it while charging. Just a few moments ago I tried to test it again. Surprise surprise...it would stop charging. As I type this it just restarted twice while plugged in. i just removed it from the cable now. I really have no idea what is wrong with my phone. Here are a few things I believe may have something to do with it: I use it to hear music in the shower (potentially vapor), I sometimes put the charger the wrong way (somewhat roughly), and I have it in my pocket while at work where it get hot and has lots of moisture. I am waiting on doing a factory reset. I just ordered a new battery. At this point I'm lost on what to do. I really hope someone on here can help me figure this out. I'm on AT&T by the way.
I returned mine to T-Mobile for a new one. 1 yr warranty.
