[Q] Slimbean 4.3 Official and Charging Problem - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I used Cyanogenmod 10.2 nightlies few weeks ago. Then I passed to Paranoid Android 3+. But after some reboot loop issues, I tried to find out a more stable rom which made me come to Slimbean 4.3 official stable. It was all good for the first 3 days. No more glitchs or bugs which I had on the both other custom roms. But yesterday morning my phone just stopped charging.
I usually plug my phone to the stock wall charger at night before I go to bed and I unplug it and go to work. That night I didn't plugged it because I just wanted to try Sleep As Android app. My battery was about %53 when I took it to the Airplane Mode and started the app. In the morning, when I woke up it was about %23 and I plugged it to the wall charger at work. And voila! Nothing happened. The battery icon was like its charging but the count did not augment. When I powered off the device battery circle was gray and did not charge the device. I tried my charger with a Note 2 and it worked perfectly. I thought my battery died and bought a new stock battery from the Samsung Shop. It came with %50 battery in it. Few hours after, when I came home and plugged it to the charger. I noticed that the exact problem is still remaining.
I wiped (factory format, wipe cache/dalvik cache) the device using the TWRP 2.6.3 (the latest) and restored my PA3+ backup. Device became chargable again but it was so slow. I wiped again and restored my first custom roms backup (CM 10.2) which had a reboot loop issue. Interestingly there is no reboot loop issue this time and it shows like its charging but it seems a bit slow to me again. I powered off the device and Red Led Indicator showed up and green battery image showed like its being charging (which never happened when I'm on Slimbean)
I think it's a software issue. I really like Slimbean Rom and I want to use it. But I don't know how to charge my phone when I'm on Slimbean.
Is there anyone with similar issues?
Thank you.

Happened to me also
Slim bean 4.3 ruined my phone
I changed my rom
The problem is the same
Slow battery charging
And cpu is always on 1400mhz
I don't know what is the problem

[Q] Battery stuck at 0%, need battery replacement?

Suddenly my phone won't charge. Do I need a new battery?
Here's the details ...
Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100)
CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightly (10.1-20121229-NIGHTLY-i9100).
I've had it for almost 2 years.
If I leave it plugged in, everything works fine. I can boot it up and use it normally. The lockscreen display and status bar indicate that it's charging, but it stays at 0%. If I unplug the charger, it shuts down right away.
It also seems warmer than it should be while plugged in, but I'm not certain that's part of the problem.
The results are the same whether I use the charger or a USB cable connected to the computer.
There's an immediate reaction when I plug it in or unplug it, so I don't think there's anything wrong with the charger or the port.
I've tried removing and re-inserting the battery with no change. I've also rebooted it several times... it shuts down when I unplug it anyway.
It just happened today, and I haven't installed or updated any software in the last several days. I have auto-updates in the Play store turned off. So it's not a software issue. The ROM was the last thing I updated and that was on the 30th.
I think the battery is really empty because I can't power it on at all if it's not plugged in. So, it's not just that the battery level indicator is wrong.
Hopefully, all I need is to replace the battery, but I was hoping someone here could confirm that or suggest what else might be wrong.
Thank you.
Check contact pins see if they are bent away or have crap on them. If not it sounds like the battery is dead, but I assume you already knew this.
I had already checked all connections and didn't find any damage or other problems. I bought a new battery today and that seems to have solved the problem.
Thank you.

I needed to write because this topic is on top on google results. I've lived the same today. A while ago i had a sudden battery decrease issue. There i was suggested to remove the battery and wait for a while. I tried this today. Removed the battery (simcard and memory card also... i just felt desperate). Waited for a while (i gues it was about half an hour). Plugged to charge. And my battery contiued charging from %61. I just showed wrong level.
This issue is happening to me too=/ but it happened to both my batteries in the space of two weeks
.
hi i have the same problem. i bought a new battery as mine was kaput. then a few days after that i needed a new charger port. now my phone wont turn on manually but when it is on charge it will randomly turn on for 10 seconds with 0% battery and then turn off. i tried doing the reboot with the power, home and vol up button but nothing happens. do i need another new battery?
I don't think it's the battery. I think it has something to do with these custom kernels and ROMs. I've been battling this problem for months with no results.
- I have a new battery, new cable, cleaned pins.
- Tried Lollipop, CM12 with kernel, one or two other kernels.
- Tried various KK ... CM11, Dominanx Kernel, some others too.
None work properly. I love all the updates but it's I just can't pin the problem down on my S2. I'd love to know what else I can do because I think I've exhausted all possibilities. Maybe JB is the only option? I dunno.
Help would be great on this.

Hi,
if you think the problem is custom ROMs then why don't you just go back to stock ROM and try?

I thought it might have been the pcb. I replaced that too but even that didn't completely revive the battery life. Went back and forth between JB and various customs mods to no avail. I ended up selling it for parts locally
Loved that S2 but it was time to walk away from it

I also had the same problem once. What I did was, went to recovery mode and charged for 1 hour and voila,it was charged till 21% only sadly. But by then,it has never rebooted like that!:angel:
hey ive also had a similar problem in which my j1 (Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016)) started to randomly shut down or restart around 2 months ago. Then, the battery would start jumping percentages like 100%, to 54%, then 33, back up to 84 in around 10 minutes. Then when I tried to charge it, it would stay at 0% and when Id unplug it, it would say 100% and shut down. Around late last month i ordered a replacement battery, it came in yesterday and worked fine up until a few hours ago. Now when i try to charge it it would stay at 0%.
Solution
1.Turn OFF Phone
2. Pull battery out
wait few sec
3. Connect charger
4. Put battery in
5. Turn Phone ON
Working for me. If not prob replace battery :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Bad battery?

Hey, guys!
I've had my I9100 for almost 3 months now. Everything was working fine till last week. I was charging my phone, left it overnight and when I woke up in the morning, unplugged it and it didn't turn on. Thought the phone bricked by itself but when I connected a home-made jig I have it turned on but when it booted the battery was 0%.
Did some research around here and connected it to a 1A charger and left it charging (phone off) for an hour and that fixed the problem. But Two days ago, every time I use my phone and the battery discharges till 60%, the screen flickers a tiny bit and the phone turns off. When I try to turn the phone on, it gets to the booting animation and then it turns off. Sometimes it would boot and the battery indicator would show a charge of 13% or even 1%. It turns on and stays on if I connect it to the charger and let it charge but when I unplug it, it would do the same when it gets the 60%.
The only way I've made it go under 60% charge is if I wipe the batt stats when is charged and when I re-charge it, goes back to the 60% issue. I've been thinking about buying a new battery but I'm not sure if is the phone or the battery and came here to ask.
Will try to borrow a battery from a friend today and see if the problem persists.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Edit: I'm running Jellybam 7.2.0
Goto stock and use it for couple of days.

I swapped batteries with a friend that also has a stock I9100 and my battery did the same to his phone. Guess is time to get a battery replacement.

hi, i am actually facing the same problem as you. i got my i9100 for around 3 months now. 1 month ago i updated to stock jelly bean 4.1.2. it was only until last week when the battery issue surface. i had my phone charged to 100%. switched it off for the night. when i attempt to switch it on again in the day, the phone would not start up and reflects that its battery level is 0%. for subsequent days i have observed the following:
First the phone can never be fully charged. it will reflect that the charge is complete and request to remove the charging cable.
Secondly, i realized that when i removed cable, the notification to remove the cable did not disable.
Lastly, when i restart my phone, the battery level will drop to 70 - 80% range. Currently i am suspecting its a software issue. trying to install a updated stock rom now.
One more issue. whenever i switch off my phone, the giant battery logo will keep appearing in the middle of the black screen. i will not be able to switch on the phone unless i enters its recovery mode and select "reboot now manually". maybe you can verify if you have the same issue with your faulty battery? i am currently trying to troubleshoot the root of my battery problem.
any help is appreciated!

Your battery is probably damaged too, since everything was fine for almost 3 weeks, as you mentioned. If it was a software issue, I guess it would have caused problems since you updated the phone. I'd recommend you to check if your battery is swollen: take the battery off, put it on a flat surface and try to spin it. If it spins a lot, then it is swollen and you need a replacement.
Hope this helps

[Q] Reconnecting of charger to get to 100% charge (AOSP rom)

Hi,
Installed the latest SuperNexus 2.0 rom on my S3.
Have this weird issue when charging from really low (0-20%). I leave it charging overnight. Wake up and it's stuck at 60%~
It won't go any higher. I'll need to reconnect the charger in order for it to resume charging to 100%.
Any ideas?
Factory reset.
Reflash rom
Is that really the solution?
It's a clean installation. No app restores or anything like that. =/
I remember it happening in the past with older SuperNexus as well as CM 4.1.2 if I recall correctly.

[Q] Overheating and not turning on !

I rooted my phone with Cyanogenmod 11 (nightly) two weeks ago, it was fine, no issues. On monday morning phone was fully charged, but with very little to no use it was completely discharged in 7 hours. When I connected phone to a charger (original and working) it didn't want to turn on, it did NOTHING, black screen. When I borrowed battery from my brother's S2 wich was charged almost fully, it booted KitKat but it showed that the battery has to be recharged. I put it back to brother's phone but it showed only approx. 15% less than before, it was okay. I tried charging my phone with brother's battery, but it was incredibly overheating , not like when you play games, I was afraid it was going to blow up. It is overheating even when phone is turned off and charging or even when normally turned on, on battery. I tried enabling airplane mode, I even installed stock ROM with Odin, but it is still overheating. It is not overheating near the camera but on the left side of the screen, I don't know what that chip is there for. Stock ROM now gives me error after 2 min. saying "Charging paused, battery temperature too high." Now my battery is discharged and phone is unable to charge it, only black screen again. Could this be done by rooting it with Cyanogenmod ? it was the only ROM that I installed through the step-by-step process on their site and for couple of days it worked fine. Is this a hardware issue that would occur even if I wouldn't root my phone, also is it somehow fixable, or would I need to change motherboard completely ? PLS HELP !

[Q] Is there something wrong with my battery?

So, I recently received my dad's old Galaxy S2. Stock JB, unrooted. My dad used to charge the phone in his car and during office time, whereas I've always been an "overnight" charger (keep this in mind as it's important). So, here's what happened -
1. I woke up really late the next day and realised that the alarm clock hadn't rung. checked out the phone beside me to see that it was really hot. The phone had shut down by itself. I turned it on and it functioned normally. That day I rooted the phone using PhilZ (mainly for the adfree app)
2. I didn't do an overnight charge for the next night cause my dad told me that "it ruins the battery". And the phone was fine the next morning. I changed to dorimanx's kernel for all the wonderful extra features.
3. That night, I decided to try overnight charging once again. Woke up the next day to a shock. It was 10am! No alarm, hot phone. I thought the phone had just shut down again, so i tried to switch it on. It showed the samsung boot screen and then the pretty "dorimanx" screen, but then.. stuck. the device wasn't starting, but recovery was working. I removed the battery, I wiped the cache, I installed another kernel (siyah)... nothing worked. FInally, I decided to try flashing a new rom. Downloaded SlimKat and flashed it through CWM. The device then booted up and has been working quite normally now. And I like SlimKat much more than stock! But that's not the point. The point is, I'm scared of charging overnight again.
None of my previous phones have faced this problem. I'm just a noob, but I have a theory. I noticed that the phone, once it reaches 100%, doesn't give any indication that it has stopped charging (like most phones do). The charging icon on the battery still shows. Does this mean that the phone is still trying to charge even after the full battery, which is causing the overheating and shutdown of the phone? I'm still confused regarding why it refused to boot up.
Is this a battery/device problem, or was this merely due to some fault in the stock rom?
You were actually stock in a boot loop (which has happened to me before(hated it). Be glad that it didntt freeze at the Samsung logo. Because then you couldn't get into the CWM.
I am not entirely sure what is wrong with your phones battery, because I have never had this problem myself, so I am sorry I can help you with that. Try going to settings/battery and see if you can turn sound on for the battery from there. :thumbup:
Sent from my SGH-T959V
Given the age of the battery it's likely to be the battery, so replace that first. Could also be the USB board, but cross that bridge when you come to it (try the easier option first).
Your old man is wrong about charging - constant charging/discharging like he did for however long is far more likely to reduce a battery's useful life than a simple use the phone during the day charge once overnight arrangement.
