There's no problem. Only "Now" is relevant and it is charging at maximum level for AC. Even the app developer says he has no idea what average and maximum mean if you read his description.

OP, yes your phone cable is crap. Change it.
Glebun "Actually, You're wrong" is considered a rude way to tell someone they are wrong in English. You should try to be more polite.

No, not whatever. You're constantly "enforcing" the rules. You should follow them yourself. Lead by example. Many of your posts are rude. Maybe it's intentional, maybe it isn't. If not, put more thought into your posts as per rule 2.1:

Yeah Samsung's cable is crap..
I use Nokia's cable.
Its the Fastest charging cable that i could find...

Changed it but its still charging like crap but it went up 300mah now its chsrhing 500 then 400 mah

On what? AC?
If you've changed the cable and plugging into a wall socket and only get 500mA, you've got problems. You don't need a "fast charging kernel" you need to return to stock and send for repair

[Q] My galaxy s2 isn't charging

Hi everyone, i' ve be en looking an answer to my problem from a long time i've looked in almost every related post, but nothing...
When i plug in my phone (to a wall charger or to a pc with ye USB cable) the phone says "charging" but you can leave it liket thar for hours
and nothing happens, i have tried a lot of things :
-make sure the charger is good
-coneccting with diferent cables
-change the rom and kernel (a lot of times)
-even i replace the USB port
But nothing of that seems to work... Have anyone an idea of what culd be the problem?
Thanks a lot
I had a similar problem where I plugged my phone in and it said charging but after half an hour I'd lost 1% I changed to an iPhone plug and the supplied USB cable and this has solved the problem for me (I looked at the micro USB end of the plug and USB and one of the pins in the micro USB was missing from the plug) However you said changed cables and plugs so don't know however issue sounds similar

How on earth are u going to use ipone cable to charge yr sgs2. what he meant is the charger not the cable. Since u ve use different charger and cable and even replacing the usb port, i think its the board issue which means u may ve to replace the main board. Only thing u can do is get a desktop chargerand another spare battery.

Im sorry I meant IPhone plug not the cable, actually I have what you say a spare battery, but I want to fix the problem anyway
Try putting your battery on another sii. See if it charges then.
You can also use a dock or charge it manually.

Strange Battery Charging PROBLEM

Sorry, I come from an Non-English-speaking country, so I used Google Translate.
I have used Galaxy SIII for about four monthes, ALL ‎the accessories are original except the charger is from an old NOKIA N97 MINI. When I used it several days before, it charges really very fast - about two and a half hours. But recently, I have faced a strange and puzzling problem. The charger will not work when it connected to my phone, this problem also happened when I connnect the original cable for charging through original charger adapter. But to my surprise, when I used another cable, it works good....
I want to that if there is any way to solve my problem and I also want to that will the problem occurs more problem such as failure when connected to my laptop for flashing roms and copy files?
My email: [email protected]
Thank you!

Samsung original charger is known to be faulty/badly made/cause problems, I use my old s1 cable and charger, s2 also works, or, as suggested, buy a new one

Help! phone charging is so slow!

hi,
i have a 4.3 S3 android phone.
i have a serious problem - when i plug in my phone to the charger,
its like the phone is decide by himself about charging - sometimes so slow(10 hrs), sometimes normal,(2-3 hrs) ,from 0 to 100%
please help me, can i flash the **** out of him or anything that could help??
Are you using the Samsung charger and cable? I experienced similar issues using those cables, and the solution was...buying another USB charger.
Samsung cables are of very low quality, they work for like 6 months and then they stop working...In my case, I bought a USB charger and a micro USB cable, not from Samsung of course, and the problem solved. In fact, it charged even better than before.
So you should waste some money, I think:laugh:
i did it man.. and it still happens...
its something with my phone, but i dont know what...

First, download this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...dium=organic&utm_term=galaxy+charging+current
And while charging, look at the value in the 'avg' line:
if its below 900 when using 1A charger, than it might be a problem in device's usb port (considering the charger and cable to be ok)- the soldering seldom gets loose over time, so you should take it to lab check.
If the value is above 900, that I suggest you to consider replacing your rom.

ohh its below 900!!
maximum: 300
now: 999
Avg: 300
those it normall???? something wrong with the phone itself?

First- the app isn't 100% accurate, so you should check it several times with different chargers/cables and electricity ports. if you have another s3 to compare it to, do it. If the result is the same- so you should take it to a lab check

you could also try another kernel - Boeffla Kernel.
It allows you to set charging value higher then usual (but be careful....)
I charge mine at 1600 with no problems

[Q] Galaxy S3 (i9300) won't charge

So I got this strange problem where my phone stopped charging. I tried diffrent cables, adapters, charging it while being off, charging it via the computer and even tried to adjust the little lip in the micro usb port. Is the charging board dead? If it is, will a replacement be expensive?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Free mobile app
Well dude I think your assumption is right.
It might be the charging circuit only which may be dead.
Because as you told that you have tried diffrent cabels and chargers but still your charging is not working which means that the usb micro port through which we charge and connect our phone to computer is damaged and should be replaced .
There are many possible reason of damaging usb port like you may have drop your phone or by using faulty cabels and chargers or if u have rooted your phone then there is possibility of changing the voltage of current to more than 1000 Mhz etc etc.
You should try to flashed a complete stock rom by downloading from sammobile or directly using kies to update or re-flash your phone
you can try that may it may help you.

Nah, it won't turn on because the battery is empty.. I don't have a spare so it seems buying a new board is my only hope..
I saw there are loads of micro usb connectors on ebay. If I solder a new one on. Might that help?

You can try micro usb port which is available on ebay but it would be extremely very dangerous until and unless you know what you are doing.
My suggestion is to give your phone to the samsung care and tell then to repair it.
If your phone is in warranty then they will do it for free. You just need to provide them a copy of bill at the time you purchased s3.
Press THANKS if I helped you

Cheap magnetic charger can ruin your Z2

I just wanted to share with all of you my experince with some cheap magnetic charger which i bought from ebay for 3 or 4$ for Sony Z2. Cause i didnt know how to connect magnetic charger cable to the phone, and of course i connected it in wrong way,( +- reversed?!) my phone couldnt wake up. I tried charging through regular wall charger but phone still blinked ORANGE for whole night ( cca 14 hours) and still wasnt able to turn it on.

Hey.
What happened to me happened to you.
I connected a regular charger only way I could turn on my device.
He turns on and turns off intermittently.
And at the end turn on.
What is a magnetic charge screwed.
And when I charges the device to 100% is starting to turn the power on and off as if he informs me full
And when I connect the device drive is not able to work well is acting as if something touches the screen and he can not recharge.
This thread should be renamed to "Cheap magbetic charger can ruin your Z2 if you're an idiot".
Sorry, but it takes a fair bit of effort to reverse the magnetic charging cable.
Hey, don't be so rude. It's not really this much of an effort. As far as I have seen in cheap magnetic cables the pins are not hidden and they are making contact with pins in phone without any effort. Original connector has a little bit retracted pins and won't damage your phone.
That's why I'm big fan of original or at least high quality accessories.
It's not that hard, in fact. Most of the cheap magnetic cables can be connected the other way around without any special effort. I did so for both Z1 and Z2.
Z1: Phone turns off, but works fine after disconnecting the charger.
Z2: Phone doesn't recognize the charger. No reboots. No damage.
( Of course, your mileage may vary... )

I'm not going to apologise for what I said. It actually does take a fair bit of effort to muck this up.
The Z2 has different size plastic mouldings around each pin which makes it quite difficult to actually reverse the magnetic charger, even the el cheapo ones.
In addition to that, don't you think it would be weird if the cable for the charger is going vertically up the phone, instead of going straight down towards the microphone?
So, this goes back to the OP, don't use a scare tactic title for the thread when the cable clearly isn't at fault.
This thread just says to me that people don't pay attention or to the very least, they don't do a simple bit of research first.
mine is worst. the magnetic charge port from my z2 come out from the phone.
Yeah because your an i***t. It's not the chargers fault but your fault. If you connect it the right way there is no problem at all with these magnetic charger from eBay. S***d thread
