My S3 would just not charge via AC charger.
I have tried different chargers but no luck. I have tried original samsung charger, HTC charger, even used the universal charger but it just wouldnt charge.
But I used fast usb charge which is basically increasing the current taken via usb port using Googy Kernel.
I am on Omega JB 4.1.2 Rom
By using USB cable i.e. by PC or LAptop the mobile charges completely in 2.5-3 hrs but by AC adapter it just shows 0 current and wont charge, even during charging the battery seems to be discharging.
Any Solutions about this please?
Before it I was on stock JB and had same problem, i thought changing ROM would solve it but it didnt.
Multiple posts on the subject read them .
Try a different cable fails then its a service centre .

Hi everybody!
I'm having some problems when charging my device. I've noticed that when I use the stock charger with the stock micro USB data cable, the phone stops charging and it just charges the battery in 1% to 5% after I plugged it on the wall, and the charging led remains on. So I've left the phone plugged into the charger for 2 hours and nothing happens, the device remains cool and the charger remains cool either.
I tested the following scenaries and the results are pretty weird:
a) I tried using the stock SGS3's charger with my Nokia CA-101 data cable, and the phone charges successfully in about 2.5 hours from 0-100%.
b) I used the stock SGS3's charger and the stock data cable, and charged my old Xperia X10 mini pro and successfully charged 0-100% in about 1 hour.
c) I tried charging my SGS3 with it's stock data cable from USB port and It seems to charge very slowly: 20% per hour.
I don't like using different accesories to charge my phone, because I read somewhere that Samsung uses diferent usb pin arrangement because of the Device ID pin.
So my questions are:
What is happening with the phone/battery/charger/usb cable? They seem working well separately but not together.
Does the samsung micro usb data cable uses different pin arrangement than standad micro usb data cable? or Can I keep using my Nokia CA-101 micro usb data cable?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 it is a remarkably simple phone to disassemble and I'm thankful for that since...
I also had 6 different chargers and cables that would not charge the phone reliably, I took it to Sprint and of course they plugged it in and it charged ok when left alone not moved in any way. Well the charging for me was very intermittent and some cables not at all. It was as if the plug was inserted and removed and inserted over and over again, typical problem if the solder of some connection on the PCB is broken or high resistance for some reason.
I removed the PCB from the phone and examined it to find a micro USB mounted to the PCB with 6 + 5 additional conductors, the 6 that were in the middle of the connector I believe connect directly to the conductors of the USB cable. The other 5, 2 on one side and 3 on the other of the main 6 were broken solder joints on 2 of them. I have a really fine tip solder iron and a microscope which helps but is not totally necessary to re-wet the solder on each pin of the connector. Now my phone works like brand new!!!
I have at least 33 years experience with soldering, so this operation may not be for everyone.
Good luck,
Dude I wish I had the confidence to attempt something like that, well done you

Have you ever done simple mathematic & calcs based on the current output?
You have 2100mAh battery in SGS3, right? And you have STOCK charger. Output = 1A=1000mA => full charge (assuming 100% charging efficacy) would be 2.1hrs. Therefore, 2.5 hrs result from not 100% charging efficacy - simple.
Now, you have USB port in your laptop/computer. From USB 2.0 spec, its output is rated at 500mA => full charge would be more than 4hours.
The difference is result of not 100% efficacy of charging, but this, I assume, you can calculate by yourself (to give you a direction: how much data is spent from a phone to power the screen and to supplot media connection with computer, while charging via USB?)
Sorry that I had to give you some basic calcs from primary school, but... this is what you asked for.
Hi everyone. I own a GS3 that has been running flawlessly for about 3 weeks but since last 2 days it has developed a problem whereby it only charges via the laptop USB port and not the wall charger. I have tried factory reset, flashed two different custom ROMs based on two different firmwares, pulled battery many times, etc etc, to no avail.
the phone starts charging from wall charger, but after a few minutes, charging stops. I have used the original Samsung charger, my old HTC charger, with a combination of many different USB cables and the result is always the same. The USB port appears to be undamaged
ny suggestion to fix the problem?
Android 4.0.4
I9300BWLH1
Kernel SIYAH S3 V1.5.2
Well from what i can see the problem doesnt lie in the data cable. So maybe it the wall plug section. Or maybe the the socket itself maybe be faulty.
Problem doesnt seem to be in the phone itself so nothing to worrry about too much.
Maybe buy a travel charger to see if that helps.
Also high recommended that you do check the plug socket to see if anything else charges in there.
Might be worth charging in a different plug socket.
Hope this helps

the data cable IS OK !!
How about the plug socket. Have you tried to plug something else into the same plus socket to make that it still charges for example plugging your laptop into that same plug socket that your phone was to see if the laptop charges.

the result is the same.
it only charges via the pc USB port and not the wall charger
Well I thought my phone was broke last week...
It wouldn't charge so I tried my old HTC charger and that wouldn't charge it either but it would via usb to laptop. So I purchased a new wire and that worked, I then tested my HTC charger on my HTC Desire HD and that still worked.
So the SGS3 doesn't seem to charge using a HTC cable unless connected to a computer. Try purchasing a new genuine usb cable
Alternatively, you could wipe battery stats in CWM (in advanced menu) and see if that fixes it

I had the same trouble, only 3 weeks after I bought my SGS3.
I did go to Samsung repair center, and they change the motherboard (under warranty).
2 Month before, same trouble with my SGS2, unfortunatly no warranty.
Samsung ask me for (around) 300$ for motherboard, and I did not do.
I've removed batterie and charge with external battery charger .... and forget it a while.
When I try it later, it was working fine ! What was my surprise !
I can charge it again with charger.... two days after "same player shoot again" : impossible to charge ... then work again :silly: !
I'm having this issue too. There is a whole thread of people having charging issues, and I assumed my problem was the same, however upon further inspection it charges via PC USB cable. That said, this may be the issue with the others in that thread.
My phone definitely seemed to charge by powerpoint when I first got it, but has since stopped.
Charging by PC is a pain, as I use my phone as an alarm, and my PC is in another room.
edit: the lightning icon comes up when I plug it into the wall charger, it just gets no charge. Is this the same as everyone else?
Coming from the Galaxy Nexus where I had Fast Charge via USB allowing me to pull 1A from the USB port vs the .5A. My Note2 is rooted, does anyone know how to enable this or do we need to wait for a cutom kernel? Thanks!
If you look at the included wall charger, it's rated at 2 Amps. So it may not need the fast charge option.
I think he's referring when hooking the USB to a computer. That is always a slower charge.
You need a custom kernel that supports it.

The Fast Charge enables the phone to pull more power out of a standard usb port connected a computer not a wall charger.
and forget what I just said because i never refreshed the page to see someone already said that. Thanks!
OK, then you'd have to wait for a custom kernel that would have the feature in it.
I use it on the GS3 with its wall charger. It cuts the charge time in half.
But I've never tried it with charging from a PC's USB 0.5A port.
As the title indicates it doesn't charge via wall, but usb charging works perfectly , even file trasnfer.
What I've tried so far:
Factory reset
New battery
Changed 3 chargers, 2 of them were original - they work on other phones
Clean the usb port on my phone
Also when I have it hooked on wall, one battery app I have shows that there is some usb connection on the phone, but it still won't charge. Any ideas? Running 4.1.2
anybody guys?
After i was struglin to charge my G3 through my pc i buy a traveler charger from ebay...its the same as the stock charger and said 1.8mA..i saw that my phone didnt charge as fast as my stock charger and still my wirless chargers couldnt charge my phone...but i saw another strange think...i bought a collored (w/ LED) usb cable to use it as a night light as long as with my stock charger on my bed....my phone charged as slow as i had connected into my pc usb 2.0!
So i test all my usb cables and saw an extremly diverse charging rate..
As you can see in my pics while using ampere all my other (ebay,old phones) usb cables couldn't pass the 350-400mA charging rate..while my stock LG cable could charge a bit more on the Traveler charger while with the stock charger it could get to 1.0A easily..
So whats wrong??Is usb cables equally different as the chargers???
Thanks and sorry about my horrible english!!!

So, as far as I know, with all of the phones I have had, including the G3, charging my phone through a computer always have horrible charge rates compared to charging through a wall outlet. Though, when you say a "travel charger" in not sure if this is what you meant or if you meant some other form of charger.
From your post I've come to view your question as being "can different USB cables charge at different rates?" the answer is yes. Different usb cables will grant different charging rates depending on what battery type that USB cable was meant to charge.
One last thing though, I would love to know what app you use to find all that information!

So just to buy a funcy and funny usb cable with leds inside from ebay is just a waste of money...even with wall charger it can give to the phone max 600mA...
Anyway thanks...the app is Ampere!!!it give you the charge and discharge flow
