Hi
I've got issues with charging the S3. Hae noticed recently that it may be the charger itself.
Problem is it is charging at a very slow rate, like today, it's been plugged in for close to 12 hours and it's still not fully charged yet.
This is AC charge not via usb. Have used a different charger and it would fully charge in 2 hours flat.
How would I bring this up with warranty in place as it still works so to speak.

Try to charge-discharge cycles. Maybe it's help you

From yesterday I have been seeing some major battery charging issues with my S3.
Battery drained in evening, came home and connected it to charger for 3 hours and saw battery was just 8%. I removed the battery and put it back and left it for whole night charging. Woke up and saw (after 8+ hours) 22% charged.
Now that's a serious issue. What else can be done now? Is my adapter not working? or that mini dock? or something else?
Samsung disappointed.
Try reboot. Could be a rogue app constantly pushing your CPU. If it does not charge faster, try shut the phone off at a percentage you know, charge a hour and boot it up. Should have charged at least 40% in that time.

When the battery drained. The phone was switched off. Charged for 3 hours and it was just 8%. And yes, I rebooted my phone twice. and removed the battery too.

Try wiping battery stats in cwm?
or
use a different cable/plug
There are quite a few faulty wall chargers around. Mine was totally dead others work only sometimes... Maybe try charging @pc or with a different adapter.
Due to the software update via Kies, Root access and CWM was lost. Will use a different adapter...
Now it's being charged via my laptop (very slow though) but adapter was not doing anything except just showing the red LED light. :/
I think I have to change the adapter.
It's the adapter which is not working. Charged from Galaxy S2's charger. Have to get it replaced from samsung service center.
Hi! I have apparently a problem with my SGS3 battery. I usually put my phone to charge every night, ok, from week to week, when I get wake up at the morning, it gets stuck at xx% (several % from 4x% to 8x%) no matter the hours it gets connected to the charger, the only way to solve to complete the charge is rebooting the phone.
Happened to me with several roms, from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2, and I don't have a single clue about what causes this.
Any tip/advice would be appreciated. Should I buy another wall charger? Maybe battery issue then?
Thanks in advance.

happened with me with s3 charger it took ages to charge 1% i used a s2 charger and works perfectly
I have a Nexus One charger, I didn't want to try with different chargers because of they have different voltages and so but... I was mistaken, the two have the same V. - A. output: 5V - 1A
Time to try tonight and a few days with it, I hope it didn't happen again
Occasionally I use a charger that I normally use for my Raspberry Pi.. it's 2 amp.
Charges the phone ridiculously quickly, but it gets really hot so I try not to use it too much.
Got my Z2 a few days ago. Charged it with the bundled EP880 + 3rd party magnetic cable until the led went green and thern started it for the first time.
Plugged it in for the the second charge almost two hours ago when at 10% and its now at 32%. 30mins ago Gsam Battery Monitor showed 4h untill fully charged but i just checked it now and all of a sudden it says 8h untill fully charged.
This cant be right?

This doesn't seem right at all. You should test it using another charger (1-2A).

Just uninstalled Gsam Battery Monitor and rebooted the phone while still charging. I'm gonna let it charge for a while and see if it speeds up.
I only have access to E800 (850mah) and EP750 (700mah). But is it ok to interrupt/restarting/interrupt etc. the charging? I thought that might harm the battery.

No worries.
Mystery solved, case closed. Seems that the 3rd party magnetic cable was the culprit.

Glad it worked out
Yes, I never understood how the cables can make such a difference with charging speed, but they do.
I chucked out all my cheap ones for that reason.

Usually devices have modules that detect "unstable charging current". I don't know if Z2 has one, as I'm quite new to the device itself.

Hmm! Mystery continues, case reopened
After waiting hours and the battery only charged to approx. 70% i changed to the stock micro-usb cable and hey presto, battery charged full. Thats why i thought i solved the mystery.
And then i got a replacement magnetic cable sent to me and the first charge with the "new" cable went normal. Then the second charge same problem as before. From 30% to 70% in 4h and this time i changed to the micro-usb but it didnt help, the slow charge continued. By this time i tried a different micro-usb cable, a different EP880 charger, numerous reboots etc. and finally i got it charging at normal speed again. Because i tried pretty much everything its hard to say what it was that did the trick
Its all really confusing, especially since i havent really read/heard about similar problems. I'm beginning to think its my phone thats faulty. Maybe the magnetic connector or the battery. But i'm not keen on waiting while its being analyzed/repaired
Anyone knows if Sony has a DOA-policy i can claim when heading down to the Telia-shop to claim a instant swap?

... did you get anywhere with this? I've had a problem with my mag charge cables too... I've used various combinations of chargers and cables and isolated the magnetic charge cable as the problem, just wondered if LOUDmouth or anyone else has a solution or knows of a good branded cable that works? Last thing I want to do is keep opening the micro-USB port to charge it - I suspect that will lead to a watery grave for the Z2!!

I have had my g3 for about 2 months now and the last 2 days i realise that it barely charges. I usually leave my phone overnight and its always at 100% in the morning but 2 days ago i plugged it in at about 15% at 12am and by 9am it was only at 54%. I thought it was really strange but didnt think much of it i took out the battery put it back in and put it to charge again. In 3 hours it was only at 70%. I realised there was something wrong but i couldnt figure out what was causing the problem so i let the battery emptey and tried charging again. Again the charging was extremley slow. So i took my friends charger and it was full in an hour or so. This was a relif knowing it wasent my phone that was the problem. So i decided to see what the problem was i took his usb cable (which was also original) and plugged it into my charger and it charged quickly but when i plug in my cable its slow w even on his charger. Does anyone know whats going on?
I've never had good charging in this phone. Sometimes its super fast other times it barely charges if the screen is on. I have the damn thing plugged in and just saw it drop a percent. Charging port is to blame IMO. Its a piece of ****.
Had the same issue with my 4 months old LG G3. Different cables didn't make a change, original LG Charger was the problem - when charging on external battery it was always fast, when charging on my genuine Nvidia Shield charger it was always fast. So i decided to buy a different charger (i-tec USB Power Charger 2 Port) and also new cable (Wsken X-Cable) and no longer any problems...
So guys i got few questions about it.
Lg v10 has quick charging feature so i wanna know that how that works.
its works always, and any % ? or there is a certain point for it to work. im asking this bcus today i had 10% battery left and i plugged in its original charger with original cable which supporting quick charge. it was charging normally till 32%. i realized that and i plugged off charger and plugged back again it was still normal charging . then i again plugged of and closed phone and plugged it back when phone was off. it otomatically started phone and i entered my pin code. boom it started to quick charge
sso can some 1 explain me that quick charge?
Also that hifi dac works with bluetooth earbuds? like hbs910 - hbs 1100 or samsung level u pro ?( sorry my bad english )
Hmm... I'm under the impression quick charge only works with the screen off. Could that have played a part in this?

My V10 also meets this issue. when your phone running out of battery at 0% lowest level, it is hard to activate the quick charger, i have to replug and unplug charger many times 10 times more to activate the charge process, the screen with phone and cable keep blinking and blinking...
But if your V10's battery still remain and you wanna charge, you just unplug and re-plug about 3 or 5 times, the quick-charge will activate. I have no idea if this relates to Software or Hardware issue.
SOLVED: my cable connecting my charger and phone is broken, change the cable, issue is solved!
Well I didn't think that I ll need quick charge since I was using z2 bcus I could have a full day no matter how much I use the phone. It was charging like in 3.5 hours. So I was charging it only when I go bed. But since v10's battery life isn't that good I realy need quick charge. I waited few months for bot buying first wave of v10 but still I bought first wave I guess. Let's hope it's software problem and get fixed soon

Well for me it works all the time. When i connect my original cable and charger i always get quick charge notification and it takes around 1 hour to fully charge the battery. I recommend though to leave the phone connected on charger for around 1 to 1.5 hour more if possible. This way the phone tops the battery charge fully getting additional around 200mA charge. You can install battery monitor widget from market and you will see that the phone continues to slowly charge after telling that battery is full. This stops when battery ot charged to the max.
0% to full takes 1 hour? that is rly nice since mine takes atleast 90 mins... even it says quick charging
