can anyone help me fix my phone. my phoine is S3 using foxhound rom 2.5 i charge my phone. use it for messaging or playing a bit but my battery drains. i doesnt happen before. its only now that my battery drains while charging... im using my AC outlet charger.
Try another charger and lead first.
Try another USB cable. Samsung cables are known to be of bad quality. If the charger + USB cable doesn't work, then most probably your charging port is not functioning. I had the same problem with my phone, gave it to the service center and the phone started charging again.
You can even try blowing air in the port. Sometimes dust gathers in there and that prevents the phone from charging.
Hope I helped.

many identical posts are already about this. standard answer is to change the cable first. :good:

Hmmm, this is a weird one guys.
I can charge my X10 only if it is plugged in to the USB port via the computer. However, when it is plugged directly into the power socket, it does not charge. Now, I've tried two different chargers, and both work when charging another device (my iPod Touch).
I don't understand. The cord can't be broken, since it works when charging from my computer? Yet, the charger (the thing that plugs into the wall) can't be broken either, since another charger didn't work and also both have the ability to charge my iPod.
What's up? :S
Thanks in advance.
NOTE: Even when charging while off works on the computer, just not when it's plugged in (and I am not using a custom kernel either). I doubt the ROM matters (since it still has the above problem while charging when off), but even so, I'm using v061 of Wolfbreak's 6.1.3 ROM.
Bump bump, bump it up!
Do you use the original SE in-wall charger? If not, thats the problem, if yes I recomend to test with a different wall charger (eg. from another device)
May be the cable it faulty? Because the PC charging uses a less amount of Volts (to my knowledge) and the charging while connected to PC is very slow. Did you try with any other Official cable?
It could possibly be your cable as mine broke a few weeks back (Same Problem), I just replaced the cable now its fine
Guys :-/
Went out and bought a new cable, and still not charging from the power Only from the slower laptop USB port :'(
I think it may be the X10 itself..
I am still suffering from this problem And sometimes when it's connected to the PC and displays 'charging', it instead discharges

Maybe the connector in the phone is broken????
Yep your usb port is broken, mine did exactly the same thing. You will have to send it to fonebiz in rockdale, nsw. I just got my phone back, took 6 weeks to repair!

Rockdale? 6 weeks?! Not going that far. :-/ I can live with just charging from the PC at the moment.
Thanks though Sad news indeed
Is is still under warranty? It will eventually stop charging from the PC too. I was waiting for parts to arrive so maybe they have them in stock now. That was 6 weeks from melbourne and back.
Going through the same thing in the US. I was told repair would be 5-7 days, but I'm sure I'm looking longer. If it comes back within the time frame they gave me I will be pleasantly surprised. I hope you're still under warranty and do your self the favor and send it in or soon you will have a very expensive paper weight. Good Luck!
I went through the exaxt same thing. It stopped charging from the wall but could only charge from computer but eventually stopped charging altogether.
Did you try taking out the battery and plugging in with the original se microusb cabe to the wall. After 5 min. put the battery in. First time didnt work for me but then i took out the battery again and put it back in immediately and then it turned on.
try getting a usb-to-wall charger, and plugging your computer usb cable into wall.

Out of curiosity, how long before each of your X10's stopped charging altogether? :S
Because, for me, it's been longer than two months and throughout that time I've managed to keep charging it via the computer.
Thanks.

I've 3 usb-to- chargers here:
From a MP20 phone, generic charger that can't charge my phone and also can't charge most of other devices, output power and voltage are low.
From an old Ipaq(not ipad) it does charge my x10 for some reason takes longer than the original, it says on it 1000mA and 5V, I don't remember the real amp and voltage on it.
And the original one, always charge really fast(2 hours for a full 0 to 100% when the phone is ON)
Conclusion, buy and original charger if you not using one, which seems to be the case.
OR, update your baseband if possible, as battery issues are normally related to baseband are normally the cause of this errors.
To make sure you can always try to do a SEUS repair.

Sorry to say this, but your are wrong man.
My charger says 5.0V which is exact the same voltage as any USB ports(exception for some internal USB ports used commonly for bluetooth and other low consumption devices that use 3.0 to 3.3V).
The difference is mainly on the amount of power amp it can supply, the original usb cable + wall charger provides 700mA, while in the PC USB 2.0 ports provide 500mA, 1.0 USB provide 100mA and 1.1 I don't remember now, generic usb wall chargers say sometimes they provide 500mA but they mostly provide 30l0mA and sometimes they do not provide on 5.0V they oscillate between 4.6 to 5.2V a good usb port have to provide 4.95V to 5.1V any difference from this may even burn a phone if higher and not charge or reduce a battery life if too lower.
Everytime a battery is not charged up the end of 100% they battery life gets a bit reduce as next time even if you leave it to charge up to 100% it won't really be at 100%, this can only be seen by measuring the battery voltage after the charge, fully charge it must reach up to 4.7V
on the battery or something like this.

If the cable is too thin(like 1.0 usb cables they can't handle 500mA if connected to an already extended usb port it may not get recognized and also not even charge.
Laptops usb ports may not allow 500mA it different for every laptop, some work, some doesn't and others your have to set that on bios.

Always when connected to the PC it should say charging, if it did say discharging at some point then there was something wrong.
But charging on the pc is very slow and not good.

Is there any other model of charger than a usb-to-wall? Sorry my lack of knowledge on this, but i never saw a wall direct charger for x10.
Thanks button is appreciated, rsrsrs
here's a weird one..
when using the wall charger that came w/ my phone, instead of charging the battery its actually draining it, the battery icon says its charging/plugged w/ power but after leaving it plugged in eventually it died out, but if i plug it in my pc it charges w/ no problem..
pls help me or enlighten me as to whats happening...
thanks in advance.
Strange. It should be the other way around. USB 2.0 sockets push 500mah which isnt enough to charge the S while the wall chargers provided are 800/850. Perhaps a dud socket? Try another and if not your charger is fúcked.
yeah, i think its my effin charger, i plugged it in a diff outlet still same, i tried using it to charge my iphone its not working as well. thanks for the help.

USB isnt enough to charge the SXS?
Stop spouting rubbish like that.
I charge my SXS with my PC's USB port all the time and it charges just fine.

For me it discharges faster than it charges. It may charge off yours but typically it'll be very slow or not at all. Some ports push more AFAIK, but the standard is 500max.
I also noticed that, if I have WiFi on, the phone actually discharges when connected to the PC (when used anyway).
I don't know how much current is provided though, never measured it.
If charging through USB is fine then it might be that the charger is shorting the battery + and - through some resistance.
Try another charger and see if it helps , and replace the faulty one. You don't want to break your battery.
On my laptop usb port it will charge just fine. Slower than the normal charger but it does work.
On my desktop pc otoh it drains more than it charges. So there probably is a difference in output on the usb ports.

If you were using "front ports" these are often underpowered compared to ones mounted on the mobo(back of case, or all laptop ones).
I connect my phone via my front ports and it charged just fine actually...
I am behind the computer quite a bit and my phone keeps its battery and charges when attached, even when I'm installing a bunch of apps (I tend to browse the market via my browser and pick up apps as i go) I still don't discharge...
It could be a voltage issue with your ports, but with my frontal ports I notice no problems...but anyways, this isn't about the ports, this is about the OP's charger.
To me, it seems like your charger is faulty.
Hi,
I wrote about a similar issue I was having with the phone discharging when connected to USB.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573336
From what I could tell in my tests that I did the issue is when the phone is connected to the PC and THEN the PC goes into Standby mode. Even on a powered USB hub the phone charging mechanism does not reset correctly and continue charging but begins discharging.
I would have loved if someone else could have tried to reproduce what I wrote in that thread but no one responded. For me the only solution is to charge directly with the AC power and not through the USB as my PC goes in and out of standby regularly.
Phone charghed with USB will drain batery faster then phone charged with wall charghed.
It was thread in xperia arc about that, the test bring that conlcution.
So i recomend to charge with wall for better batery efecienty.
Sry for language im little sleepy. :$

Hello,
I'm running Temasek's unofficial CM13 (Darkened_Sky) ROM on my SIII. I thought my battery was dying somehow, so I bought a new battery, but still it's taking ages to charge, and does not seem to keep the charge better.
What could be the issue? Should I just forget the phone and get a new one?
Thanks,
Vince
any suggestion?
so it seems a charging equipment issue or phone's charging port malfunction. try different chargers 1st.
well, I'm using the samsung charger or charging with the USB cable connected to PC, I don't seem to see any difference...
ok, the charge seems to hold better, but the charging time is still very long (I think), any suggestion?
Hi All,
Kindly help. Yesterday i was faced a strange issue. While my phone is showing fast charging but battery percentage is draining. It seems showing as charging but actually it is not. But when i switch off the phone and it is charging normally... Any idea on this.
I have tested the same cable in pc it is charging slowly but this time it is not draining...am not sure how to conclude the issue reason...i dont have spare charger so yet to check with other charger....any idea or tips it would be helpful.
Currently am in miui 10 stock rom with NKG KERNEL
Problem is with your cable or charging brick. But the likely culprit us the cable as that's what usually dies out first.
Suggest using a different USB C cAble either borrow from a friend or whatnot. If you are able to charge normally using both the charging brick and via PC using the borrowed cable then your issue is with the cable
Hi
It has been a few days that i have faced a weird problem with my phone.
My phone suddenly stopped charging with fast chargers and only works with super fast chargers.
When connected to any charger other than super fast charger, the charge drops instead of rising. When i connect a super fast charger, it charges fine. But sometimes gets 95% and some times gets 100%. If i reconnect the superfast charger, the phone wont even show charging. Must switch to normal charger or wireless charger and switch back to super fast charger in order for it to work.
Being on or off does not affect the results.
Wireless charging works fine.
Due to the conflicting results, I can not guess the cause of the problem.
Whether the problem is from the battery, Main board, charging socket, or software or malware, i cant figure it out.
Any suggestions?
Best I can suggest is clean your type c port with a sewing needle. These ports get trash in them everyday very easily then packed in.
The bottoms of these ports are metal not plastic. Shiny silver metal. If it's dark black or anything other. Its dirty and your cord is not being inserted all the way due to the trash compacted in. I have seen this on a regular basis and 9 out of 10 times this is the cause

Hi, did you find a resolution to this?
My Samsung Note 20 is doing the exact same thing.
It will not charge with the normal charger.. I have to first charge it a bit with the wireless charger and then with the normal charger. As of this morning, the wireless charging is also intermittent.
Thanks.

Hello
Unfortunately, I have found no solution for this. I have sent the phone to service center. Since they have not said anything yet, i guess it is not a software or even a known problem. It is definitely a serious hardware problem.
I am having the exact same issue here as well. I plug it into a normal charger and the battery continues to drain. A lightening charger is the only thing giving it juice.

Will it recognize the super fast charger when you immediately disconnect and reconnect it?

Yes superfast charging is not the problem at all. Its when I plug in a normal charger, it will say its charging but it doesnt.

Well if factory resetting does not solve the problem, don't waste your time for a solution. It is a faulty hardware. Go to Samsung service center instead. The will probably replace the motherboard or the phone.
