Hi I bought s3 5 months back and now im facing the slow charging issues.and at one point the phone wont charge at all.. blowing cleaning also didn't work.. I took it to the service centre. They first replaced the port and it didn't work. Later that day they told its mother board problem. They couldn't explain why. And couldn't tell whether wireless charger would fix this issue. If anyone could help me how to check hardware failure I could check myself and tell me if wireless charger would work nw??
I faced the same problem and the cause was my usb cable
Replace port failed and presuming a service centre would have a decent cable you need a new motherboard .
No way of knowing what has failed without removing the motherboard and testing each component end result you still need a new motherboard .
wireless charging

Yeah its the usb cable, samsung ones are rubbish, mine got to a point where it would charge 1 percent an hour, tried my brothers galaxy ace 2 charger which is all in one and charges from empty to full in about a hour and a half without affecting battery life

You can take the battery out and use the universal charger.

Hi all,
My problem started a week ago.I plugged Mozart with a usb cable to a pc at the office.After one hour i touch it ,was too hot.(I think the usb was broken) Unplug the cable and take battery off.
Now my mozart does not charge with usb or charger.I also can't sync it with Zune.Does anyone tell me is there battery problem or board problem?When i plug charger the led on the top is not lighting.What can i do?
Thanks
Try another USB-MicroUSB cable. I've found the one that was supplied with the phone very unreliable, I get this problem every once in a while. It works fine with other cables though.

Thank you for answer.Unfortunately i tried many charger or usb cable,even new battery.Nothing happen.I think something damaged on the board.
Find the same battery and replace for test. If someone else will not be charged - a problem in the board.
If i was you i would send it back to the carrier to be fixed or replaced if you can.

Yes, I will send it .Purchased from Taiwan.Hope they will fix it within warranty.
My Samsung Galaxy S2 has this problem.
A: I doesn't register the charge in the socket unless I wiggle it around or put pressure on a certain area. It's sensitive and it takes me a while to make it 'stick'.
b: It only charges to about 30% and then it stops charging.
I have tried numerous chargers and usb cables and always the same issue. I have replaced the battery and its the same problem.
Any help? I bought this damn thing on ebay a few weeks ago so I don't really know its history. The seller refuses to refund and I've opened a case.
Anyway that will all take a long time.
Any idea what the problem is and how to fix it?

Try Charging the battery externally using a battery charger, and not from inside the phone....I suppose it should get charged 100%...
If not then its battery problem...
If it does get charged then there might be a problem in the port or connection to the battery via inside the phone...get it checked at a samsung customer care...If you have warranty you might get it fixed for free...
I don't think there should be any problem with your kernel etc..
Press Thanx If I helped..
Try cleaning the micro USB port with a toothbrush or something similar
This type of issue is not weird and has been discussed on forum plenty of times.
Clean the battery contacts on battery and pins on device with alcohol (cleaning alcohol). If that doesnt work and you have changed charger/battery then your hardware is faulty so nobody here can help.

I tried with an electric toothbrush. no joy. Do you mean opening up the phone and cleaning it from the inside?
This replacement part?
Hi is this the part that you would replace?
NEW GENUINE SAMSUNG S2 i9100 GALAXY INNER USB CHARGING PORT MIC FLEX PART
(CANT DO A LINK)
Apply some petrol on a toothbrush and try cleaning charging port... After some time try charging .. Iff still not working get the port replaced
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
if you need new charging port look on amazon or other type retailer i got one for £10 (uk).... then look on youtube for guide on how to fit part.. it looks tricky but its dead simple to do so long as you don't attack it like an ape.
Good luck..
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.

Hello
i have sgs 3 recently bought but without warranty. when i used to connect via USB charger it is not charging. and then i connected to PC
it show charging but realistically its not charging still on same percentage. what do you think its a data cable problem or phone problem?
Any or either change cable and charger factory reset and test .
Standard charge 3 plus hours takes a lot longer change battery still a problem its the phone .
how much time a normal charger will take? and if there is phone issue so what will be the issue and anyone know repair costing?
Repeat 3 plus hours

I had the same problem earlier but it was solved when i bought a new data cable from Samsung. You must get new data cable of Galaxy S3 only. you can also use the one of Note 2 or S4..

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
