Hi jonezy8873!
Your battery does not have anything to do with power saver modes or bottom lights to light up (i think).. it's all on your settings will you please go to settings > about and tell us your phone's details? Perhaps you are on custom ROM & kernel?
Hope to hear your feedback! Cheers

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Hi, thanks for reply im on stock ics 4.0.4
From uk not rooted or anything,
With the lights i mean that when the battery goes to 10% or less it automaticly turns down the screen brightness and turns off the bottom lights if i go settings-power saver i can change it from standard to custom so i can have the brightness back up but button brightness is greyed out and cant press anything.
Just seen that after leaving my phone alone it has gone up from 78% to 81% do you think it doing it its self? This is the first day from fully charge.
I got it yesterday made sure it was toataly flat by running a film on repeat then once i died i charged it over night and now using it.
Thanks.

The battery does not need to be calibrated. The s2 does it by itself. Give it 3-4 charge cycles and it will be what you should expect

Even I changed the cable and chargers everything would solve the problem for couple of days then again back to square one...one peculiar thing was there was no knowing when it used to charge and when it used to stop there was no pattern to it...

Dude, i have the same problem as you. When my phone is plugged in, it takes forever to charge it and if i am using it when charging it will quickly discharge. Really annoying.
Slow charging
I think i have the same problem.
when i charge my phone over night, the battery is in the morning only 40-50%
I tried my old htc desire charger and the normal s3 charger, but it does not make any difference.
What can be the problem? my charger, battery or my phone itself?
FYI, I did a Kies update and that fixed my battery problem. Try it. It may work for you to.
it happened to me too
what I did was u changed my USB cable
it solved my problem
try this

a different good quality cable will solve the problem. I had a slow charging issue .changed to a Nokia sync cable .nd voila charges in the required speed

yes.. i guess whoever is encountering problem should try using the original cable and see if solve the problem.. mine does.. no choice..

Use Original Samsung cable or Nokia cable - that fixes most charging problems.
3rd party cables give a lot of problems...
Galaxy S3 Charging problem-disappointing and annoying
Dear All......HELP !!!
I bought a new S3 and i loved it.....everything was perfect...it was on ICS>
Now i have this problem since few weeks back....suddenly my S3 will not charge....sometimes only 3 to 4 % up whole night....very very slow.
Even the LED light is dim when charging.....
ALSO ...sometimes it is not charging then i unplug the cable from cell phone put it back.....its charges but after a few seconds it stops charging....worse when i connec to PC.
I tried twisting the cable....first i tought some problem in the connection point of cable to my phone....i changed cable nothing.....
is it hardware issue of my phone where it connects to charging cable or is it Jelly bean????
im really disappointed that how come a new phone (only 1.5 months old) can have this problem.....
PLEASE HELP ME.....I CANNOT CHARGE MY MOBILE.......from wall or USB....im starting to hate samsung ...although i used Galaxy S Plus...and loved it.....
Also my screen is less bright and yellowish than my wifes S3. i mean the white is not white is yellowish white (off white color)
Thanks please help
Most likely the Samsung charger, many faults reported.
S1/S2/ BlackBerry and many others work on the S3
Today morning, my phone was at a charge of 10% and I put it on charge and after sometime my phone went off and since then it's not starting.
I tried the USB cable. The charger also but nothing is working.
I don't know how to start it.
Any type of help will be very appreciated.
Phone does not turn on when battery is <5%. Charge your phone using the original Motorola charger, preferably use wall charger for say 30 mins at least. If it does not work, try different plug point.

I have put my phone on charge now. But the screen is black. I will leave it for another 30 minutes.
I have also tried different plug points. Nothing is coming on the screen.
Well if still nothing works you can use the factory cable either make it other buy one on ebay and use it Rsd lite back to stock and bring the phone back up to life

I just had this issue last night. The phone wouldn't turn on but the notification light was bright white and wouldn't go out. I just left it plugged into the computer overnight and by the time I woke up, the phone was on and had a 61 percent charge this was over a period of about 7 hours.

But in my case its a bit different, the notification light is no more blinking or something. It's just the black screen. Not turning on at all.
Tonight I will leave my phone on charge for more than 7 hours for sure. I really hope it starts.
Thanks for the reply.

I have ordered for a factory cable. I am gonna try putting up a new ROM on the phone. Let's see if that works.
I recalled one more thing, before my phone got bricked, the day prior to that I used battery calibration application on my phone. Do you think that would have affected my phone?
Hey
I have aproblem that is so strange!
For example when I turn off my mobile it restarts!
Even if I pull out the battery and put it in it just power on automatically! !
Sometimes if the phone successfully was turent off, when I press any button it indicates that it is charging!
And now the battery is full even though am using it for around 2hrs
So my question is: is it a phone hardware or battery issue?

mine was like that after moisture damage and then a wrong charger it gets ok after time, it started charging the battery to 5.00v instead of 4.2 n all, stop charging that battery at 95% for like 10 charges and it will come back to normal in no time

as i said it just went away after a while i think the problem is being caused by overcharge, so when u keep charging it to 95% the voltages come back to normal.
In other words charge it till 95% for like 10 charges and it will be fixed.
Well gonna try and reply back thanks

Remove the charging cable, remove the battery. Give the power button several long presses, insert the battery, the charging cable, and leave it for an hour or so.
Give it time to charge, then you should be able to power it on. If not, then you might want to look at sending it off for repair.
