Hello!
I brought Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 three weeks ago. First two weeks there's no any issue. But after several factory reset, I have a big issue with its charging and battery like.
Now I'm using the pure stock ROM with root and official CWM (flash the stock firmware using mobile ODIN). Also use triangle away pro version and reset flash counter and status to normal. I read few threads and they mentioned re-installing stock firmware fix this issue. But in my situation, charging increase in some amount.
My phone takes more than 4 hours to fully charge (with Samsung supplied charger) also, battery drains rapidly.
Device info.
Model number:- GT-I9300
Firmware:- I9300XXEMC2_I9300ODDEMC1_SLK
PDA: I9300XXEMC2
CSC: I9300ODDEMC1
MODEM: I9300DDEMB1
I just installed the BetterBatteryStats. Is it a software bug or hardware issue? Can I manually fix that issue or should I submit it to the service center to fix this issue? I have two years warranty.
Here's the battery usage screenshot.

Any help really appreciate.
A screenshot of 13 minutes isn't really helpful. Please charge to 100% then give screenshots when nearly empty.
Change cable for slow charging

First of all thank you for RootSU for reply. Yes, I agree with you. this is a small time. OK, now I again charging the phone.

But I have Samsung provided cable (with this phone), is it not a good one?
The sammy cable is pretty poor, yes

The earlier Samsung chargers are better, the ones in one piece including a flat ribbon cable. You can get them on eBay for a couple of £.
If media is running for more than just a couple of minutes after reboot then your sd card may need reformatting, or you have many thousands of tiny files on it?

I'll check on ebay. Thanks for that.
I have 2.13GB mp3 files (65 mp3) on my SD card.
Looks like slow charging related with the battery stats file, after I manually deleted, my galaxy S3 charging normally (with Samsung charging kit). Need to test it again.

Fits perfectly without changing the back plate. Made for the i9100 International Galaxy S II and fits our AT&T Version
Fair boost from a 1650.
Will see if it makes much of a real world difference and post back.
--------UPDATE---------
Using the battery I find about the same drain as the stock battery but the kicker is when I plug in the USB cable my phone goes into a boot loops. Sending the batteries back!

Fair boost IF it actually meets its rated capacity. Most cheapo aftermarket batteries don't even come close.
My Infuse 3500 mAh battery is probably closer to around 2500 based on initial testing.

I figure if NFC is not even activated on this phone yet, might as well get the most juice for your phone. We'll reach that hill when we get there. By then they will have one with NFC.

My guess would be that the NFC battery has special shielding to keep from interfering with the NFC signal... but who knows?
Or maybe it just handles fast drain better...

Did you read the thread about battery compatibilities? If the battery doesn't have NFC, it will loop when you plug in to recharge. Recharging with a stand alone charger and then using it in the galaxy is fine.
Never saw that thread but I need to frequently plug in my usb.
I got the batteries too. They're great if you travel, or forget to charge your phone often. They do boot-loop. Nothing you can do to stop that.
Can someone tell me if I can charge the stock Samsung battery with this charger?
If so, I can cycle through all 3 batteries by charging it without the USB cable.
It would suck if I have to charge 1 with USB and some with charger... yikes..
Just woke up and my phone is boiling, especially touchscreen and battery. Its not switching on, I left it on charge like I do every night.
Just to let you guts know, never flashed or rooted my s2. Its still on 2.3.4 with kernel 2.6.35
Turn the phone off remove battery and let it go cold .
Then connect to Samsung charger and see what happens .
Problems
One factory reset after backing up data .
Two try a another/new battery
Three return to service .
jje
Try with another battery, I'm pretty sure that that will help

We've had it happen when a app has "hanged" and not closed on Gingerbread. Haven't had it happen yet on ICS *touch wood* .. phone gets hot and huge battery drain quickly.. even while on charge.
Maybe a recent app you have installed has caused the hang?
leaving your battery on charge overnight is NOT the problem
I posted this few days ago, I'm having another problem now, unsure if its linked to this. But occasionally when phone on charge, I'm getting a pop up notification saying 'battery paused, temperature too low or hot'
This happens regardless of the battery or charger. I've taken screen shots of they help. Battery temp is 67 with condition over over heating. How do I solve this

Bump, anyone?
Have you a bumper on the phone or other case protection ?
Depends on which battery I use, if its the official 2000 mah battery then I use a cheap £1 mesh case. If its the standard battery then I don't use any. The extended battery is now charging.
A friend with a phone shop told me to warm the batteries up before putting them on charge and to my surprise its worked, weird since batteries were saying over heating
Most of Galaxy SII users have had good battery backup but not me, my phone once went into a bucket filed with water. Had a friend to open it up and clean it with a chemical (Usually used to clean phones circuits)
The phone was fine, then battery problems came up, changed the battery still has issues average time it lasts is for 8-9 provided i do not use it for anything but 2-3 calls or text. or 3-4 hrs is maximum. All this has happened after 4.0.4 update.

Can anyone please explain what the problem is with this phone. I am not sure if it is a bug/hardware problem. the phone is out of warranty now.

it is common when you drop your phone into the water that the battery will start having problems.
For example suddenly you get a drop from100 percent to 50 percent.
I could be wrong, you can check the guide that is in my signature for your battery problems.

The thread is FAB! but like I said I am a noob hence doing everything you suggested is tough for me to understand. Looking at things like removing live wallpapers, stopping auto sync, keeping wifi and data plan off minimum brightness. I have tried it all. Still the problem exists.
Short circuit, perhaps? My suggestion would be to bring it to samsubg and see if they can repair it. I think it's a hardware problem

Seems more like it but they say there is a bug in 4.0.4. Should I try root before handing it over to samsung or just leave it up to them?

There was no such problems from the time I installed this ROM(the day it was released). What caused this battery drain? I would have used one of the battery calibrator apps and seen but I have read that those apps only wipe the battery stats, which according to me wont make any difference.
And now this sudden rise in the battery level while charging.

I have got this problem a few times with different ROMs, I couldn't figure out what was the cause, but only after flashing the Stock SE ICS ROM and kernel, this problem gets solved. But it keeps reoccurring sometimes and it's really annoying as I have to re-flash/re-install everything as I can't do with a phone that shows '30% battery' and in a sec '1% battery remaining, I've ****ed up things for you, Mwahahahahaha'..
Right now I'm flashing back stock ICS, but if this does reoccur, I do not want to be reflashing stock again, so I would really appreciate if anyone can pin point the cause of this strange problem and also a solution for it without reflashing stock.
Edit: : I forgot to take a SS of it, but the battery rises on its own too without I charging it sometimes.
Thank you!

Have you tried wiping your battery stats or using a battery calibrator app from the play store?
It might solve your problem.

Tried that but no good..
As I have said, I don't think wiping the battery stats would do anything much..
Thanks for trying to help though
Might be your battery need a replacement. Once i also had this problem but in your case u stated the problem solve when using stock rom. I wonder if the battery or the custom rom is the real culprit.
I also have this problem. The battery meter suddently arise even not charging and suddently drop from 30 to total blackout in an instant.
Then i check the battery and notice a bump. I notice my battery is swelling. So i bough a brand new ep500 and problem solve.
Hope it helps

I have had the problem of my battery suddenly dropping from 10% to 1% and then dead. Both the time I flashed my phone with Spartan Rom after charging it completely. It solved the problem both the times.
I think it has some calibrating script or something else.

I've had this N9 LTE for about a week and a half, so i'm still not used to it fully, but this, this can't be normal right? I havn't seen a device take 10 hours to recharge 75% since the first iPhone in 2007. Plus I have ElementalX Kernal with fast recharge enabled...I don't get it

find a good cable and a good 1.5A-2A charger, the junk HTC gave us is something out of their "just include something" bin. I haven't even taken the stock charger out of its packaging. its good in a pinch when you must have a charge, but not worth using on a higher power device like the N9.
also, give a kernel like elementalX a try, it should enable faster charging..
anker makes some good self regulated (based on needs) multi port chargers, give those a try with some anker 1' cables.

Stock charger works fine here. Takes 6 hours or so to charge.

I'm using my note 4 fast charger and cable. Can't be better quality than that. And as mentioned, I'm already on ElementalX
After you change the cable you might realize that this won't solve the problem. Most of the times it works better if you simply reboot the tablet, the charging time will significantly decrease (~3-4 h depending on your kernel). Share if something changes.

You didn't mention if you have a custom rom? I'm using a cm based rom and there is a known bug that the tablet does not show the correct battery status... I have to reboot it to see the true batters stats

Yeah that's not normal... I would now try the stock charger... That's what I use and it works fine... If that doesn't help then I'll would call Google for a replacement
I'll wait for 5.1 to come out and will take a decision then. Thanks for your input
it's not normal for this to happen, but i've seen a few threads where this does happen and it doesn't matter the kernel, charger or cables. sometime the device gets stuck at charging at less than usb 2.0 speeds. it doesn't happen all the time, but it's pretty crappy when it does happen. one suggestion was to unplug and replug each time you charge it to hopefully not get stuck with the bug through that charge session. when i do catch it trickle charging i just replug it. i generally charge in just over 4hrs for a full charge using a samsung note charger and cable.
I have been using the stock charger with a third-party USB cable (I needed something longer) and it has never taken more than 3-4 hours for a full charge.
Try using Ampere app from the play store to test different chargers and cable combinations. It helped me to eventually go with a iPad charger and a 20awg 1m cable which charges at an average of 1700mha which means a full charge of about 3hrs or less (stock ROM + ElementalX fast charge enabled)

Not sure if this is the same issue, but when I charge my n9 overnight, the battery indicator only shows like 23% charge. However, if I restart the n9 it updates and shows 100%.
Anyone have that issue? Buy
I think my Nexus 9 charges faster with the Fire-Ice Kernel
