Hi Guys,
I have searched the forums and i found that all the issues are with the phone on. My problem is the phone loses power when plugged into the PC when the phone is off and while plugged into the mains, it charges very very slowly. When it is on, the phone does not charge when plugged into the mains.
Do i need to get a new battery? Or should i go back to stock and see if it still occurs.
I am using cm10.1 nightly btw
Thanks

oh i forgot to add, i am using siyah and have pushed my usb charge to 900ma, and i used another current widget and it shows that the phone is drawing 899ma. that 1 ma does not really affect anything.
now the problem is when the phone is off, it shows charging but not really charging. i have wrote a program in c to see what current the cpu is outputting to the usb ports and it shows 500ma.
since it is 500ma shouldn't the phone be charging?
my question is will the kernel or rom affect the phone if it is off, if so it means i need to get a new battery.
But my battery can last 19hrs on a full charge, so i dont see how it is damaged.

In that case, do basic troubleshooting first:
Try with different cables. S3 cables have known issues with charging.
Try another port on the PC.
Try another PC/laptop.
Try other chargers.
Using the link I posted, check what is the current_max when you plug the phone to charge in each case. Details are in the first post of the linked thread.
Unplug and re_plug the cable from the phone when it is charging, several times if need be, to check if the charging current varies/increases.
Install stock and check if the issue persists.
Try with another battery (borrow from a friend, if needed).
If ask this fails, take it to the service centre. It might be an issue with the charging port.
Good luck!

Good luck! Post back what the result is.
ok i am on stock sammy rom now and it still has this problem.
this is what i know so far
my battery % shows 53%but my battery has 3.858 volts.
do i need to get a new battery or anything?
i might have damaged it due to always leaving it plugged in overnight for 1 year, but i thought li-on cells should have a chip to detect when they are full and automatically prevent anymore uptake of current
ok i am using inductive charging to charge my phone now, even though it is only 500ma, it charges faster then the 1A when using a wall charger.
So i guess that the microusb port is the one affecting it.

How do i install streak mod without usb connecting to the phone becuase "battery charger disabled"
There was a detailed thread on just this and I think the general consensus was that it's not possible.
My Streak currently is unable to charge . Tried the default charger and portable charger but to no avail . The funny thing is the charger is giving its output to my Streak but its not inputting the current .
I've tried my cable on my computer but its unable to read my Streak + used the cable to connect to my portable charger and connecting it to Streak but also not accepting current . I've cleared battery stats already . I'm currently at 1% thus there's really nothing much i could do .
Charger problem too ?
Not if the computer didn't recognize the Streak. In your case, it's the cable.
I cant get mine into fastboot modee! its so annoying!!

Nope. Changed the cable to a brand new one but still unable to charge or read through the computer.
Then the only other option is the port on the Streak is damaged. Especially since it's not taking a charge from either power source.
Had this problem last night in bed. Device was charging fine through albeit damaged original Dell charging cable. I had wanted to leave it charging but it wouldn't charge through that cable or the new cable (a cheap Chinese one) I had got previously. This morning, connected it to the laptop and the laptop recognised something was connected, the device lit up but with the picture of a charger and yellow exclamation mark. Went into fastboot and through *#301# had said;
Battery voltage= 3210mV (this value is decreasing)
Ave Current -306mA
Charge state 0%0%
Temperature 28.25C
No charger detected
HC Mode
DCIN OV: Yes USBIN OV: Yes
Battery charger Disabled
Battery too Hot did trip IRQ
Battert too cold did trip IRQ
Voltage test Fail
Temperature test Pass
I can boot into Fastboot, obviously, recovery and it does boot up, albeit slowly but the ROM has reset itself and says charger is invalid.
worst case scenario, get external battery charger.
and your battery is pretty much discharged way beyond the minimum limit...

I managed to charge my battery externally through a power pack and some leads. As a result the battery charges but I cannot vouch for it's ability to hold charge. It's holding pretty steady on airplane mode so perhaps it's okay. And it now says voltage pass in fastboot mode.
I've ordered an external charger and a new battery.
Quite a few of the pins are bent badly, which is a pretty bad design flaw as the pins are exposed, I had been using a cheap cable over the original Dell cable but that was poor quality and the sheath had pulled away exposing the inner wires. But the fact that it had been charging the battery leads me to think that charging wasn't affected but wasn't able to tell the device that it was charging and hence it thought it was at zero. But the fact it's recognised the charge and discharge has left me rather perplexed.
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.

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.

Ok guys, I have a i9100 for almost 2 years now but the last 6 months I've been charging three batteries I purchased with an external charger due to that my phone when connected to either USB or AC power it shows as charging, even if it is off it will turn on the screen an show the battery logo, however, it does not charge the battery at all.
I can even see the battery level going down when it its connected what to me means that there's something with the charging circuit that is not sending the electricity to the batterry. Something important to note is that when I use a Stock ROM on it it gives me an error if I connect it to power that says "Battery Disconected", dunno what on earth that means.
I'd be nice if one of XDA Hardware Guru's could advice me on this matter cuz right now I'm tired of reminding what battery to charge and having a backup battery in my pockets. Maybe a mod to bypass the circuit and charge the battery directly? jus saying.

You can charge the batteries with a external charger, so the batteries are fine.
Did you try reinstalling your rom and doing full wipes and formats?
I highly doubt that the problem can be solved by a mod, it seems a hardware and not a ROM related prob.

Your phone's usb port is dirty. Happened to many ppl before. Clean your usb port and it will be ok. I used an air blower... As simple as that.

So, I ran my Razr Maxx down to 0% battery the other day. (I know - don't do that...)
After much reading, I tore the phone apart and was able to charge the battery by connecting the red/black wires from a USB cable directly to the +/- screws on the battery connection.
I can now boot all the way into my ROM, stock or Eclipse (SafeStrap slot 1). The battery status shows 'charging (AC)'. But the % remaining is slowly dropping. It was at 44% when I first booted. It's down to 41% now.
I powered off and let the charging screen come up - it shows 50%, but it's not gaining any charge. Last night, I left it plugged in all night (powered off) and the battery was dead by morning. I think I started with ~ 30% charge that time. So, even though this shows 50% now, I suspect it's still discharging.
I've tried different chargers, including the Motorola charger.
I tried making a factory cable, but that doesn't seem to charge the phone - it appears to just provide power while bypassing the battery.
Any ideas on other things I can try to get this to charge off a normal charger & cable? Thanks!!

Well, I was able to connect via usb to my laptop and copy files of the internal sd. And the charging indicator shows that it is charging via usb/ac. Of course, it doesn't seem to actually be charging. Would that be possible if the usb port was broken?
Maybe something is wrong. To be 100% sure check it in BMM. Charge it 1hr and boot normally and check bat %

Okay... installed bmm from Google play...
When I first get into bmm, it shows 99% for the battery. After tapping around, it eventually updates and shows 13%. I powered off and waited for the charging screen, which shows 15% now.
I'm not familiar with bmm... is there any place aside from the status bar at the top that shows charging/battery status?
Is there any sort of battery calibration that might help?

Tried wiping battery stats, and still no luck...
So, right now it appears that:
1) The battery will NOT charge via the usb port, but WILL charge when I apply +5v directly to the battery.
2) The usb port is functional for connecting to a computer and transferring files over a usb cable.
Something that occurred to me today is that, when the phone was at 1%, I plugged it into a friend's charger. She has a Samsung Galaxy S4 - I'm not 100% sure if it was the factory charger, but I think it was. Could the charger somehow have damaged the phone such that it won't charge over the usb port (but somehow leave the usb port functional?)
Could replacing the battery have any chance of success? (Seems unlikely, since it can take a charge directly.)
Is there any other debugging I can do to narrow down the problem? Or is it time to give up? Is the phone likely to be useful to anyone for parts?
Thanks everyone so far for the suggestions...

Hi..first try removing the battery from the phone for about 10 secs and put it back in and see if that will help, because the battery should still be in a charging state even if the battery was not that good as this has happened to me on other samsung phones, and if not better re-install the rom you have, but make a backup first if you can..worth a try before proceeding further.

Oh okay I didn't know you could not get into the rom or past that battery icon..then most likely a port problem forsure..did you try another usb cable to just make sure.
Edit: when you have your usb cable unplugged from the phone it should still boot into your rom as the port has nothing to do with that part..what does it show on your screen when you boot the phone without the usb connected.

This happened to me last month on my 10 months old Mega. It was driving me crazy. Phone was charging just 10% / hour (as opposed to 60%). I tried charging with other chargers but result wasn't different.
After much research I came to know that my phone did not have any of the following problems
- ROM (stock 4.2.2), my phone was going into good deep sleep etc.
- Some app (I factory reset my phone to rule that out)
- My charger (I used others')
- My USB port (I always use wall charger)
The problem was with the freaking charger cable (weird right?). I took my friend's charging cable and used with original charger and my phone was back on track.
I still have to buy a new cable. Just researching to get a good one (weird again).
I found the Mega does tend to get hot sometimes where the battery is. I think it's faulty connectors. One of mine looks a bit discolored. But who knows.

Okay, so I just this moment joined the forum JUST so I could thank Member hopsin444 for this advice. Just as he guaranteed, it was the charging port. After getting his advice, I downloaded the PDF User Manual for the Galaxy Mega (my phone). I did what another member suggested and unplugged the battery for 10 minutes (just to be safe). I plugged it back in, and used the brand new charger and cable that came with my phone. I had been using a different charger, so I wanted to get a brand new clean start. Sure enough, the battery started charging immediately, good as new. I must say that in order for this method to work, you must insure that all components are in working order: battery, charger, and cable connectors. Because, otherwise, it's hard to debug exactly which little part is the culprit for the problem.
Once again, thank you ever so much hospsin444. You saved me a lot of cash, trips to the repair shop, and untold headaches.`
Update: The phone charge from 66% to 70% and then stopped charging again. I'm thinking it's the little slot -- on the phone itself -- that the charger cable plugs into that is the problem. My only option now is to take the phone to get repaired. But my thanks to hopsin still applies. It was fun while it lasted.

I figured out two other reasons why my phone was charging poorly even when I replaced the USB port 1. The charger wire was weak (yes it is a Samsung USB wire) and needed to be replaced. I wasn't getting enough power from the outlet to the phone and it would stay at a percentage for 30 minutes or longer and 2. There was a Low Battery Dump setting that was off (similar setting like the SGS3 and SGS4)
But one thing that now gets me is why I can't use my portable battery to charge anymore? Nothing is wrong with the battery (it charges all of my other electronics with no problem)

I'm having the same exact problem, did you figure out what the problem was?
sometimes change the plugin charger can resolve the problem, but if you have change the plugin and still can not charge like mine maybe
using charger 0.7A can resolve the charging problem, very slow charging . OR using 2.1A charger but try and error until found the perfect one. (it works on my mega LTE)
Me too, having charging problem with my Mega 6.3 i527m. : (
I had used different chargers, cables and batteries, still the problem of not charging was unsolved.
But when the original usb cable and Samsung's proprietary 2A Traveler's charger that came with my old Samsung Tab 7.7 were used, my Mega detected it immediately and the grey battery icon flashed off and on faster than before - a good sign it was charging.
So, that means my charging port/flex is not defective.
Lesson Learned: It pays to use the original accessories that came with your device or gadget!
