Well how do i start this off.... I had average battery life before flashing AOKP. I was on CleanRom V9 at first, I saw that AOKP was finally stable enough for me to consider it. I flashed, had it all set up for a day or 2. Then I experienced this extremely slow charging bug. I read about it on the thread over there. Then I said forget it and went back to CleanRom. Well I restored back to CleanRom and the battery woes continued on to there! And even when I have the phone on the charger, it continues to drain, no matter what I do. Like earlier today, I had my phone charging and I opened it to check my Twitter. Phone stayed at 100% for about an hour ON THE CHARGER. Sat my phone down STILL ON THE CHARGER to take a quick shower, came back and it was sitting on 84%. It dropped 16% in like 30 mins. Does anyone know what could POSSIBLY be causing this weird battery drain? Maybe just a bad battery? Or my charger isn't working right? Oh I have the original OEM charger. Please help!

Reflash clean rom. Wipe everything including internal sd

And that will work? I won't need to wipe my SD card would I? Shouldn't have a thing to do with it.... Could I reflash AOKP afterwards?

Try it and let us know. You're having issues. Either way try this clean flash and report your findings or deal with the issues you have. It can't get any worse then it already is unless you somehow manage to brick your phone

I had this issue and for some reason, after a few days, using a new charger worked. I believe the stock charger is just made cheaply. Go to a verizon and ask them to do a battery test with the stock Samsung charger

Cool. Weird, I used my wife charger for her note and it charged while I was using the phone. But I used my charger, it drained while I used it. Idk. Bad charger maybe.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
UPDATE: It seems as if it may have been the USB cable from the stock Samsung charger. The base itself is performing great but I ended up using a different USB cable in the base. Phone charged up while using EXTENSIVELY. previously it wouldn't charge at all and would drain while on the charger. Im still experiencing a lil extra battery drain but I already have new Hyperion batteries on order from Amazon. Could be a combination of bad cable and failing battery. Will update when batteries arrive.

Like title says, lately, my phone is charging notably slower. Even on my wall charger. I plugged in last night around 12 and at 7am it was only at 95%. I tried two other wall chargers with the same results. I'm running the latest ViperRez Rom, no mods, used battery calibration as always. I tried wiping cache/dalvik, and battery stats. Any other suggestions?

Having this same issue
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
I noticed the same thing but with my car charger. Was running nils ics rom with sense 3.6 and battery was great. Then reflashed the same rom and started getting worse. I can usually drive with gps, 4g and talk on the phone and charger still charged. But now lately I've started getting messages on my phone saying that it's not charging enough and that I'm drawing more than able to charge. Haven't changed any of my habits and all hardware is still the same. Not really sure what's going on

might just be a bad battery. if you go to you nearest VZW store and tell them your phone is charging slow and you want to try a new battery, they will exchange the battery right there.

Car charging has always been slow for me, on my dumbphone, my inc, thunderbolt, dunno why, USB charging is about the same.

i dont see why they would. its part of the phone and under the 1 year warranty. if they replace beats headphones, which they have for me already, then they would replace it. just talk to them.
Battery dropping to 66 % after unplugging from charger (fully charged at 100% before unplugging. Just bought a new qcell 3500mah battery and does the same thing. Running shostock2 5.4 and never had a problem. I before this. Looking to update I guess but was hoping to avoid it. Any other ideas?

I've heard of this happening with rebooting with less than a certain battery life but never without a reboot right off the charger. Possible problem with charging cable maybe?

Check in the shostock3 thread, there was some discussion about mods to a battery file somewhere to fix battery display percent for non stock battery sizes. Couple weeks ago maybe? Didn't pay much attention as I use stock battery. Might help you...

I recently put a new ROM on. And now its taking ALL day to charge. Its only been doing this a few days. But it seems to take an hour to charge 1% using stock charger/ cable. Also tried others. Any help is very much appreciated!!!!

Need a bit more info please...
What rom/kernel...baseband, and carrier..
Also, are you charging with the phone in use, or is it turned off...
Also, are you overclocked, overvolted ??
and are you using the stock charger and cable ??
thanks in advance....g
Gubment cheese ROM. Stock charger/cable. No oc or UV. And the last charge was while sleeping. Went to bed at 46% woke up 6 hrs later at 89% and that is with the kernel that is included with ROM

A bit slower than normal, but if coming to this rom fresh, it needs a few days to "settle"...
My math shows this:
89% - end charge
minus
46 %- start charge
= 43% charge
divided by 6 hours, = 7.16 % per hour.
Better than my build gets right now....with a stock battery...(using CM9 stable today).....
Watch it for a few more days and monitor the charge rate. I'm not ruling out a problem with battery either, but considering the fact that your last build was better, the battery should be fine.
But honestly, once the stats get built and the rom settles in, you will likely see an increase in charging rate, and a decrease in discharge time.
The symptoms your having are not uncommon after flashing a new build.
Also, have you verified your wireless connections ?..I.E.is the device attempting to access wifi, or roam on wireless bands ?
Often times this causes rapid battery drain....
Thats my .02 at the moment brother......g
And I appreciate that!! I don't use WiFi. And most of the time I'm just on 4g. Always have good 4g connection at home. With nothing running background. I'll give it a few days though and see what happens!! Thanks broth a!!

Do report back with the charge percentages after a few days....it's good info for the rom threads...
thank you....g
I know its only been a few hours. Just got home from work after heavy use at work, threw it on the charger at 23% and went for a smoke before bed. Got back and already 28% I'd say that's on hell of an improvement from this morning!! I don't know why. But i be had this ROM running great for a few days. Then all the sudden slow charging. But now its fine. I really appreciate all the help!!!

Happened to me when i went from TW to AOKP. I was stuck at 19% for hr and than when I restored back to TW it started charging normal again.
May be some files left over from one rom causing the slow down.
About to try the avatar rom again and see if it's still going on.

Very possible ....
I always wipe the EMMC partition after a new rom ....
Without having the device in hand, it's impossible to say what the cause may be.
Whether it's a rom issue, or apps etcetera......g
I think I found the culprit....
If you have a .tmp folder delete it.
I deleted mine and my battery started charging normal again.

Here is a solution: Get a new ROM because the ROM you have installed is over clocked too much so the voltage the phone gets from the battery is almost equivalent to the voltage of your charger. The charger has a voltage of 5, which means the phone has a voltage of now 4.7V
Hello people, I have a rooted s3 running super nexus ROM. I decided to charge my phone last night at 83%. This morning when I check, I still had 83%. I have changed all my chargers and cables(charger and cables are original) before this happened but unfortunately I still can't charge. I don't know if its my Hardware or software problem. Anyone else have the same problem as me?
I have uploaded my phone info as well.

that might be some software bug rather than a hardware problem. did you try removing the battery and re-inserting it?

then this might be a problem with the charging port i guess! better return to stock warranty and give it in the service center.
Hello people, I can't charge my phone at all. When I plug in, it will say it is charging. But next morning, battery will be lesser then before charge. This is not my charger problem as I have replaced a new one from Samsung. I also tried re,moving battery for 5 mins and putting it back but still can't charge.
