Hello Fellas.
I have A Really Wierd Problem!

Hi Kippermois,
are you using stock kernel or custom kernel. I also had the same problem 2months ago, just tried another charger and worked, in your case it's different. Else it's hardware based, else something wrong in your kernel.
Maybe also try to wipe battery stats with CWM, i don't know if it will change something.

have you tried changing the kernel ?

Hi everyone. I own a GS3 that has been running flawlessly for about 3 weeks but since last 2 days it has developed a problem whereby it only charges via the laptop USB port and not the wall charger. I have tried factory reset, flashed two different custom ROMs based on two different firmwares, pulled battery many times, etc etc, to no avail.
the phone starts charging from wall charger, but after a few minutes, charging stops. I have used the original Samsung charger, my old HTC charger, with a combination of many different USB cables and the result is always the same. The USB port appears to be undamaged
ny suggestion to fix the problem?
Android 4.0.4
I9300BWLH1
Kernel SIYAH S3 V1.5.2
Well from what i can see the problem doesnt lie in the data cable. So maybe it the wall plug section. Or maybe the the socket itself maybe be faulty.
Problem doesnt seem to be in the phone itself so nothing to worrry about too much.
Maybe buy a travel charger to see if that helps.
Also high recommended that you do check the plug socket to see if anything else charges in there.
Might be worth charging in a different plug socket.
Hope this helps

the data cable IS OK !!
How about the plug socket. Have you tried to plug something else into the same plus socket to make that it still charges for example plugging your laptop into that same plug socket that your phone was to see if the laptop charges.

the result is the same.
it only charges via the pc USB port and not the wall charger
Well I thought my phone was broke last week...
It wouldn't charge so I tried my old HTC charger and that wouldn't charge it either but it would via usb to laptop. So I purchased a new wire and that worked, I then tested my HTC charger on my HTC Desire HD and that still worked.
So the SGS3 doesn't seem to charge using a HTC cable unless connected to a computer. Try purchasing a new genuine usb cable
Alternatively, you could wipe battery stats in CWM (in advanced menu) and see if that fixes it

I had the same trouble, only 3 weeks after I bought my SGS3.
I did go to Samsung repair center, and they change the motherboard (under warranty).
2 Month before, same trouble with my SGS2, unfortunatly no warranty.
Samsung ask me for (around) 300$ for motherboard, and I did not do.
I've removed batterie and charge with external battery charger .... and forget it a while.
When I try it later, it was working fine ! What was my surprise !
I can charge it again with charger.... two days after "same player shoot again" : impossible to charge ... then work again :silly: !
I'm having this issue too. There is a whole thread of people having charging issues, and I assumed my problem was the same, however upon further inspection it charges via PC USB cable. That said, this may be the issue with the others in that thread.
My phone definitely seemed to charge by powerpoint when I first got it, but has since stopped.
Charging by PC is a pain, as I use my phone as an alarm, and my PC is in another room.
edit: the lightning icon comes up when I plug it into the wall charger, it just gets no charge. Is this the same as everyone else?
Hi, my s3 charges very slow. he's charging for about six houres now and he's at 43%...
Could it be the USB cable?
Heeeelp!!!

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.

I have weird problem when charging. If i charge using my docking station, my phone charges real fast. If I take the same cable and power used on the docking station (original Samsung power and cable) then my phone charges 30% for 7 hours with mobile data and wifi turned off. Could you tell me how to fix that?
If I use my brothers power from his S2 I get fast charges as well.
Did my original cable and power go bad? Why does it work fine through the charging station then?
Ok, anybody can give me a hint? Is there something I should try?

99% the problem is usb cable. Ihave the same problem,tried 6,7 usb cables but nothing solved my problem 100%. The best results is with Nokia Lumia charger and usb(for me at least).
Sometimes i need to plug and unplug 2,3, times to get 999mAh.(plug in and out of phone usb,not the outlet.)
insall this and check the current every time you plug the phone. It's pain in the ass but at least i know what to espect .https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free&hl=en
I get 466 or 999mAh.

I have tried different cables.. original one too.. its charging normal from wall charger... but charging is stuck on 67%.... any ideas what do now??
try with another battery and see if it's hardware related
now i came up with another problem... My S3 is now only charging from usb port of laptop/PC/LCD TV.. its not charging on wall charger anymore. i dont know what the hell is wrong??
Get another charger
I have tried different different chargers... but no one is charging my S3. its just charging from laptop/PC/ LCD Tv..
Factory reset, then flash the latest stock firmware for your country with Odin -factory reset again in recovery afterward.
If it still won't charge, particularly when switched off, then you have a hardware fault.
Replace the battery before testing.
Hii.
I have a problem. I installed Madsurfer ROM. I had a problem with charging battery, l left phone for few hours and it doesn't charge full. Next i installed stock china ROM. Problem still remain. But now phone doesn't charge anymore. When i connect cable LED notification lamp shows for 1 second and turns off. As well battery indicator. I don't know what's happened :/
Edit. Now i have 18% battery and "Low battery level" on the notification bar. When i plug cable, phone doesn't charging but "Low battery level" indicator disappeared. It could be software problem or hardware? USB port works cause i can connect phone with computer and copy stuff but phone doesn't charging as well.
Edit 2. I turned off phone and plug charger, LED notification is on, on the screen battery indicator shows charging , but it's 15% and it don't going up.
It can be a software issue, however, it can be your charger, i know it'll sound ridiculous, but you should check that the usb is well connected to the wall charger ( this happened to me one time, and i thought my phone had the problem indeed it wasn't lol)
Otherwise try charging it with another charger or try installing mokee rom and checking by yourself either it is a software or hardware issue.
Try with other cable!

I can't install new rom cause phone has 15% battery now and i turned it off.
I'm telling you again. Try another cable, a friend had the same problem, with new cable everything is ok.

Try other cable and other charger, read the specification on the leeco charger and buy another or try one that you already have in the house
i tried another charger adapter from my old phone LG, the same problem. I haven't different USB-C cable :/
I'm the friend mentioned above. I had the EXACT same problem as you. It's cable related 100%
You must find a high quality cable that supports quick charging and try. Go to a shop and try before you buy.
Good luck!

+1 for the cable. after troubleshooting for a couple days and trying various adapters, it ended up being faulty usb type c cable that came with the phone.
Funny thing is that I have two cables. One came with Le Max 2 and other I bought online after very high reviews. Both charges very well. USB debugging only works with LeEco cable though. I can copy stuff from both cables but If i need to burn roms I need LeEco Cable only. USB debugging does not work with third party cable.
