Hey konnan1 ,

Yellow triangle in this case (I think) means that the battery is critically low on charge.
You say you have tried different chargers with no effect.
Have you tried plugging the phone into a pc?
Does the pc recognise the phone?
Does the pc charge the phone?
Can you transfer data between the pc and phone?
You may have to borrow a charged battery to check the abovementioned. .....
If you answer 'no' to the above, then I'd lay odds to you having a phone with a broken usb port......

yep it says the battery is critically lw but then i have put it on charge for 3 hrs straight without checking it or anything

this is what it looks like

That indicates (obviously) that the charge is not reaching the battery.
It can be one of 3 things....
1) faulty charger.....
2) faulty battery.......
3) faulty connector between charger and battery.
Points 1 & 2 can be set aside as different chargers and batteries behave the same way.... which leaves point 3......faulty connector.....

Yep, what keithross39 said. Either that, or your battery is old/damaged. Before you replace the use port, borrow a battery from a friend's s2 and see if you have the same issue. If you do, follow keith's guide.

Clean the contacts in phone with some cleaning alcohol on a cotton bud (cuetip). then let it dry/evaporate before putting battery back in.

Did you also try the USB port?
If you have tried that aswell as changed battery, charger and USB lead its obviously your phone thats phucked. Send/take it for repair.

Most often, this is caused by a dirty or faulty USB port.
-try cleaning it with a dry toothbrush.
-failing that, remove battery and clean the USB port with a q tip and a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Let it dry for a few hours before putting the battery back in.
-failing that, get the port replaced.

My phone is acting weird too ... its an i777 but running a ported I9100 rom ...
I do not think that the rom is the problem ... because i had a similar problem before the phone was rooted ... however i sent it to samsung ... they changed a bunch of parts ... It looks brand new now ...
but ... today i got the "paused charging voltage too high message" and i got it after i removed the charging plug !
it and it gave me the same message after a while .... despite the fact that the charger was not connected. i took the battery out .... and when i put it back in it turned on - I thought I should turn it on !!!

Read my post right above yours.

[Q] !!!HELP!!! CAN'T Charge, connect and voice command keep pop up

I bough a brand new i777 from online (Ebay) in June 2012. The phone come with a stock ATT version android system. It a little lack and slow, but it is acceptable, and a month later I upgrade to Official ICS ATT version.
After I upgrade my phone, my computer would not recognize my phone. Everytime I try to connect the usb cable, and there always a rectangle notification pop on my left Windows. It shows USB port doesn't not recognized something like that, and I try to download Samsung USB disk software. my computer still would recognized my phone. I tried each port in my laptop, desktop, school desktops.
One month later, I flash my phone to other custom roms for several. And I notice the phone battery indicator would not show the % correctly. For example, if the phone has 50% battery, and I can't charge the phone without reboot. I MUST REBOOT PHONE TO CHARGE. sometine phone is charging. I unplug the usb cable, the battery indicator shows it is still charging and the 50% would not change even the battery is full 100%. and I will only see the 100% unless I reboot the phone.
later I flash AOKP rom. This time I can not charge and connect my phone through USB. I have to charge my phone in a Independence battery charger which I have to take out my battery, and put the battery into the battery charge.
Current condition.
Plug in USB and reboot the phone. The battery indicator shows charging, but actually it doesn't charge at all.
Is there anyway to fix my phone? back to stock version!
Thank for reading
One might think something is wrong the mini USB on the phone huh?
Like the tons of others that have had the same, very well known and documented, problem.

[Q] Very slow charging galaxy s3

Hi,
Since 1 week now I have some huge difficulties to charge my GS3. For exemple when I plug it before going to sleep, in the morning there is only 50%. Sometimes I plug it and it stop the charge itself (not at 100%), i have to move the cable a little to continue the charge.
I tried several cable and plugs, nothing change.
Does anybody experienced this? What can I do?
Ps : I already read this post but I didn't find any answer.
Thx
I presume you charged the phone through the AC power? I had similar issue prior which was resolved once I wiped my Battery Stats. Is your phone rooted?
yes my phone is rooter I have omega V35 ROM and i already tried to wipe the battery stats and nothing changed
Im sure you have also clear cache, wipe, reflash the ROM? Its highly unlikely that all of your chargers are malfunctioning, If the phone is still within the warranty period, it may be time for you to visit Samsung Service Centre (SSC)...but unroot first!
same issue here

no i didn't tried to reflash the ROM cause it was working great with this ROM before, I contacted samsung and they will repare it but i need to find the bill first. Is it really necessary to unroot the phone? Installing a stock ROM is good or is there something else to do to unroot it?

unrooting is in reference to returing to stock ROM. SSC will invalid warranties to rooted phones.
i just reflash the ROM and the phone is still very slow to charge.
I will send back to samsung i think.
i just installed the Omage ROM V38 and i still have the problem, you can look at this graph :
Take battery out for 10 minutes. Plug back in and see. If not possibly battery port issue, my wife's had to be sent back for it.

So different USB cables didn't helped? That usually does the trick. Other than that try kernel such as yank kernel which allows fast charging option.

First flash STOCK ROM and see what's gonna happen.
If the problem still persists, send your phone for service.
Make sure there are no signs of custom ROMs and Kernels.
Solution is the CABLE
Here is a confirmation of the solution from Turkey: It IS the CABLE...
Check the cable end that goes into the S3, if you see 5 places but with only 4 wires, it charges VERY slowly... However, I used a $5 charger which had 5 wires in the end that goes into galaxy S3 and voila!

My stock Samsung cable has those 4 connections instead of, what looks like the 5 that can fit in. And it charges so slowly!
9/10 its the cable. I don't know bout what is said above. Mine charged fast then suddenly started charging slowly. It was to do with the kernels usb charger stability detection.
Changed cable and all good

So if I install stock Android, will that change the kernal and therefore fix the issue?
I don't see why I should have to pay and wait for a new cable, even if it's only a few quid and a few days :/

All Samsung kernels have the detection. Whether changing the kernel or cable fixes it or not is not knowable.
all you can do is try. can you not borrow a cable to test it? Surely you know someone with a cable?
yes, mine s3 to does charge slow i have the Purelook HD rom please help, take my phone on charger from 4& next morning about 50- 60 & only charged!!
I have a similar issue here, although my problem only started with latest arhd 25.0 Rom, never had this with previous roms of arhd....some times the charge is very fast , then next time it will charge to 19% then stop, then next time it's fast then will be very slow... very intermittent, I have changed chargers. Still same results, going to try wipe the battery stats to see if that helps.

[Q] s3 stucks at grey battery icon while charging!

here's the problem!!!
I rarely use s3 while exams going on!!
last time I switched off it while it is on 4% or 5% of battery.. and thrown in to the bag
now I just took phone and tried to turn it on!!
phone wont boot up..considered charging makes some sense..just connected cable to the s3..a grey icon of battery occurs and shutdown..again tried by plugging off and on..nothing happens same grey battery icon and shutdown..read somewhere that holding power and menu button will startup the phone..its working but phone again switched off after booting up in about 2 sec..
do I consider replacing battery?? if that's the case..it gave me an average battery life of day before.
I don't know what to do??:crying::crying:
someone please suggest me what to do
thanx in advance!!!
anyone???
Hold on Vol-Down+Home+Power and see if you can boot into download mode.
If you do plug your phone and reflash stock firmware through Odin.

thank you!! it helped me to figureout something..but still confusing
I replaced a battery of another s3..
it worked..the best thing is my battery worked on another s3..
but my phone is not charging even after replacing battery..i thought charging pin of s3 is reason for all confusion..but if its the reason..when my battery is completely down(yesterday) I plugged in charger and it shown me some grey icon of charging(if charging pin is not working it will not show up)..and again confusion started..
iam currently in india..phone is rooted using android revolution hd rom..my warranty is not expired still..am I eligible for warranty??can I claim warranty?? I thought its not related to software issue..so comes under warranty.
ok even if it doesnot comes under warranty?? can I go for service center for repair..will they repair it(of course by taking some extra bucks)?
thanks again!!

bro i think your charger is the problem
Have you tried plugging it to a computer via USB cable? If that does not work then maybe buy a new battery. Cos there's a flaw in some Samsung batteries. They die completely if they reach 0%. Hope it helps. Good luck

I would bet the charger. My S3 always go to 0% before charging and never had a prob...
You should...
a) Flash latest software from Samsung through Odin for your country
b) Root it through chainfire's autoroot
c) Install and use Triangle Away to reset counter
d) Perform full unroot through supersu
e) Check if you have official status in download mode
Then you should use your warranty. Probably problem is in your USB cable or USB port in your device. I suggest firstly trying with other cable and if it doesn't help do as I told you above (if possible of course) and send it to warranty with a note "does not charge".
this happened to me and it was just the power button being stuck...I had the exact same issues.... I have 4 batteries so the issue was clearly not battery related. All i did was smack the phone around a bit and boots fine now.
mine just freeze in batery icon when i try to charge off.... but he charge normal on. anyone have that issue?

Anyones know how to revert the changes made by triangle away?
Thanks!

Ahm is the problem solved? Im experiencing the same..i cnant boot up and hen when i plug it on the charger gray battery with a circle inside is the only thing showing up.. i dont know if i can boot it up to download mode or etc.. can u rply here [email protected]

[Q] S2 i9100 PROBLEM!

2 days ago i decided to root my samsung galaxy S2 i9100, after i rooted the phone i got a yellow triangle at the boot up screen which i then used triangle away, then my battery started to die very quickly it gets to 50% the screen flickers and then dies and tells me i have only 1% battery life.. i read that it could be the kernel, i was using siyah i think thats how it spelt so i then flashed the philsZ kernel and recovery.. thats has done nothing i still get the screen flicker and shut down at 50%, any ideas off what this is? is there a fix? do i have to spend any money to fix it ect, thanks.

okay, one more question.. when i put my phone on charge, the charger is loose in the port it still charges fines but i have to either place the phone on a surface of hold the charger in so it doesnt fall out i have tried other chargers and its the same with them, the port looks fine from what i can see the charger is just loose, so any ideas on how to fix/make the charger stay in firmly?
Sounds like the board/port is either loose or not working as it should & needs replacing. You could always open the phone up & take a look/make sure it's in its right place. If after you've done that it's still causing problems, KeithRoss39 has a guide in the General section on replacing the board/port - it's quick/cheap (maybe US$15 or less)/easy to do yourself, his guide has all the info you need to get that done.
Edit - If that's happening with different cables, then it's obviously the port (either loose or needs replacing).
