Hello friends... I noticed the battery charging problem with strange way in my galaxy s3. I'm running android 4.3 cm based custom rom with googy kernel. My charger does not charge correctly as it was doing. I'm using stock charger with stock cable & was working well but now i noticed since 3 to 4 days, whenever i plug the charger it shows the running charging indicator but it won't going up the percentage for long time. For example. if the battery percent is 20% then it shows the opposite response in descending order like 20%, 19%, 18% like this. Very strange issue. As it should charge the device upword like 20%, 21%, 22%. If i unplug the charger & then plug the charger again then sometime it starts charging correctly in ascending order as i was running well. I checked with another cable but the problem still same. It solve the problem with plug & unplug the charger then can charge the device with normall. Plz help to find & solve the problem. Sorry for the bad english. Thanx
Goi back to stock rom, see if problem still exists. If it does then your kernel or rom is the cause, bugs are to be expected in early releases.

If it is the cause of early releases or kernel then after the unplug & plug the charger why it starts charging well? I mean if its sure it is cause of kernel & roms then why sometimes the problem sovled after unplug or plug. Well i will change the rom to 4.2.2 which i was running & will check the issue again.
try to change the usb cable
that's work for me!
and maybe works for you

Use this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free
Monitor the MAX value (others do not matter).
Check with your charger what the MAX value reports. Also test on Computer. If you have 2 cables (which I assume is the case) test both on PC and Both in wall socket

Sir i checked with stock cable in waal socket max value got- 1000, on the other hand I got 300 max value on pc.
Another cable MAx value in wall socket is- 400
On pc max value is - 300
Ok so with wall socket + stock cable, charging should be normal (1000 is normal). If it still charges slow, you're experiencing drain

i checked again to determine the problem clearly & noticed that whenever i properly insert the cable to mobile's usb port after unplug & plug then it starts charging well & good speed. I wonder if it is the problem with usb jack or cable's usb. After all what you think ?

I noticed same problem with my phone some time ago.
i used powerbank recently and it started not charging.. when i charge and use phone, battery is discharged. i thought the batteries inside powerbank are old. changed.. but sometimes charged, sometimes not or very slow. then i noticed that problem persist when i charge phone at home too. i unplugged and plugged cable, then chargin was normal..
My friend has problem with cable some time ago too..
I hope it it problem of cable, not phone...
You've eliminated the charger as the cause so now only remains the software or the charging IC in the phone.
As per my my original suggestion, flash a stock ROM (not a leak or beta -flash the offical 4.1.2 for your country) to test. If the problem still remains then your phone needs a new motherboard.
I had been having the same problems when I installed CM 4.3. I have gone back to the stock rom that came with the phone and the problems have gone.
Is this cause of of higher value of charging with fast charging kernel support? Bcoz i had charged the device for some time with 1300MA value.
The link below with MickyFoley's tip was the solution for me, now everything works fine again after a lot of struggle...

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.

Hey guys,
I bought my S3 exactly 1 year ago and everything ran smooth and was working alright. My phone is rooted and it runs with CyanogenMod 10.1.
About a week ago, from one the to the other I can't charge my phone like always.
If the phone is turned on and I plug in the charger (doesn't matter if AC or USB) the phone drains the battery whilst it is actually charging - wtf ?
The only way to charge it is to turn it off and charge it while it's powered off, but even then it charges ridiculous slow.
I did no changes to the ROM or the kernel, it just happened like "over night".
I tried to reflash the ROM etc.. but nothing worked yet. In my opinion it's not a software issue but I don't really know.
Has anyone ever had a problem like this?
PS: At the moment I am not in my home country (not before august) - so if it's a hardware issue I'll reflash the stock rom, unroot it and sent it to Samsung then.
There are plenty of identical posts to this, with the most common cause being a faulty charger or lead.
Which kernel do you use?

I read dozens of articles but I didn't find a useful answer.
The chargers and the cables are definitely not the problem because my friend also has a S3 and his phone charges normally with all chargers and cables. My battery is also working fine in his phone.
So no battery, charger or cable problem in my opinion.

But I don't think that the kernel is makes any problems. It worked like a charm for ages and then from on the to another it got ****ed up.
Usual reply flash stock rom .
Test fails replace cable and test .

If returning to stock doesn't resolve it then the charging circuit inside the phone is faulty - return for warranty repair.
that's your cable or your stop contact is trouble, try in other cable :cyclops:

Had exactly the same problem. I changed the stock charger with an other one and now the phone charges in 2 hours.
There is an app called Galaxy Current. Search in the play store. It gives you the input current when you charge the phone. If it is not 1000mA, then it's probably a faulty charger.
Moreover, i think it is a known problem with stock chargers. A lot of people has experienced the same issue.
Thanks for all your replies but it's definitely NOT the cable and it's NOT the charger.
My friend has also a S3 and we tried the following things:
My cable and my charger
My cable and his charger
His cable and my charger
His cable and his charger
Everything failed.
Then we tried:
Charging my battery with his phone (succeed, so my battery is working well)
Charging his battery with my phone (failed)
I also installed the App "Galaxy Charging Current *Lite*" - values were pretty alright (466mA on USB, 999mA on AC)
I have no STOCK ROM with me and no chance to download it in the next 2 weeks - the only thing I have is an old STOCK ROM backup (should also do the job). I'll try to flash it on my phone and if that fails - I can definitely say that it is a hardware issue (phone charging circuit, ..)

Yesterday I completely unrooted my S3, flashed the Stock 4.1.2 ROM but no changes at all. I can definitely exclude a software problem now.
So I am going to send it back to Samsung in ~ 1 week.
Thanks for you help though.
My phone is repaired now - there were some bad contacts on the usb-to-mainboard connector. Samsung fixed it and now it's working again.
Thanks for your help though.
Hello,
Lately I've been having a weird issue with charging my I9300 device:
When I charge the device using the charger (which is original, by Samsung) , sometimes it takes a huge amount of time to charge, and if I also use the device (even for simple things) it actually drains the battery instead of charging it.
I've installed "Galaxy charging current" app, which also shows weird results:
When I have this issue, the average/maximum value is about 400mA or even 100mA , but when I disconnect the USB from the device and reconnect it, the values can change to 900 or 999 or even a bit higher.
My device is running on CM rom version "11-20140612-NIGHTLY-i9300" .
I'm not sure if it's related to the rom , the kernel or something about the hardware.
I've checked the battery status by going to a hidden (?) setting (using my app btw) of "Testing"->"Battery information", and saw that for "battery health", it says "Good". Attached a screenshot of what I see.
Can anyone please help?
Also, is there maybe an app that can warn me when the device is being charged yet it has the battery being drained? Or maybe give me an estimated time till the battery will finish being charged? I also hope that such an app won't drain the battery by itself...
This behaviour is caused due to the inbuilt charging protection mechanisms.
Its usually the cable. Samsung one is known to be crappy. Get a proper one and try.
If you are still experiencing issues plug it in to a different port. Front panel USB ports are sometimes too weak to supply high currents

Is it possible it's just the cable and not the charger?
I thought that cables are "stupid" .
EDIT: that's weird.
I tried 2 other cables: an old one of LG, and a new one of Chromecast. Both showed about 460mA in the app, no matter how many times I re-connected the device to them.
I've also tried to connect the Samsung's USB to the computer's front USB, and it gave me 400mA, but I think this is more expected.
Do you think that using a different new USB cable will solve it? or maybe it's the charger?
EDIT: just tried a new Samsung USB, and it seems to work just fine.
I didn't know USB cables are so different.
i olso had problem with charging..stock charger ...slow charging and battery drain on charge ....it was a problem with wall charge unit ...i used other phone's charger but max on that was 700 mAh and phone charged normaly.(but slowly)..now again my stock charger is working again plus i have 2m cable aftermarket ....can that be a softvare issue...if unit isn't good than it souldn't charge now normaly
I have weird problem when charging. If i charge using my docking station, my phone charges real fast. If I take the same cable and power used on the docking station (original Samsung power and cable) then my phone charges 30% for 7 hours with mobile data and wifi turned off. Could you tell me how to fix that?
If I use my brothers power from his S2 I get fast charges as well.
Did my original cable and power go bad? Why does it work fine through the charging station then?
Ok, anybody can give me a hint? Is there something I should try?

99% the problem is usb cable. Ihave the same problem,tried 6,7 usb cables but nothing solved my problem 100%. The best results is with Nokia Lumia charger and usb(for me at least).
Sometimes i need to plug and unplug 2,3, times to get 999mAh.(plug in and out of phone usb,not the outlet.)
insall this and check the current every time you plug the phone. It's pain in the ass but at least i know what to espect .https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free&hl=en
I get 466 or 999mAh.
Hii.
I have a problem. I installed Madsurfer ROM. I had a problem with charging battery, l left phone for few hours and it doesn't charge full. Next i installed stock china ROM. Problem still remain. But now phone doesn't charge anymore. When i connect cable LED notification lamp shows for 1 second and turns off. As well battery indicator. I don't know what's happened :/
Edit. Now i have 18% battery and "Low battery level" on the notification bar. When i plug cable, phone doesn't charging but "Low battery level" indicator disappeared. It could be software problem or hardware? USB port works cause i can connect phone with computer and copy stuff but phone doesn't charging as well.
Edit 2. I turned off phone and plug charger, LED notification is on, on the screen battery indicator shows charging , but it's 15% and it don't going up.
It can be a software issue, however, it can be your charger, i know it'll sound ridiculous, but you should check that the usb is well connected to the wall charger ( this happened to me one time, and i thought my phone had the problem indeed it wasn't lol)
Otherwise try charging it with another charger or try installing mokee rom and checking by yourself either it is a software or hardware issue.
Try with other cable!

Try other cable and other charger, read the specification on the leeco charger and buy another or try one that you already have in the house
i tried another charger adapter from my old phone LG, the same problem. I haven't different USB-C cable :/
I'm the friend mentioned above. I had the EXACT same problem as you. It's cable related 100%
You must find a high quality cable that supports quick charging and try. Go to a shop and try before you buy.
Good luck!

+1 for the cable. after troubleshooting for a couple days and trying various adapters, it ended up being faulty usb type c cable that came with the phone.
Funny thing is that I have two cables. One came with Le Max 2 and other I bought online after very high reviews. Both charges very well. USB debugging only works with LeEco cable though. I can copy stuff from both cables but If i need to burn roms I need LeEco Cable only. USB debugging does not work with third party cable.
