Can't charge my phone on LI5

hello everyone,
I recently find that my s3 which is on LH1 4.0.4 is charging very slow,
so I decided to upgrade it to the latest firmware, hope for some fix.
I upgraded it to LI5 4.1.1 few days ago, but the problem got worse
now I can't even charge my phone! Both usb and the original ac charger.
Anyone experience the same problem with me?
Or can anyone help me to solve this annoying problem?

Try charging with phone switched off.
That worked for me once.
Some resource intensive task is draining your battery simultaneously it seems.

[Q] Battery life/Wakelocks on Galaxy S3 i9300 with ParanoidAndroid 2.54

Hi All,
I flashed ParanoidAndroid 2.54 on my Galaxy S3 I9300 about a week back. Every thing seems faster but I am having real problems with my battery life. My phone lasts a day barely if I don't use it much. On stock Samsung JB ROM I got 1.5 - 2 days with much more usage than this. I have attached my battery usage plot and Better Battery Stats wakelocks screenshots. I have all my account syncs turned off. So is location reporting and Google now.
I really like this ROM and would like to stick with it if I can get the battery issue sorted out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
You'd be better off writing in the BetterBatteryStats thread
Some comments please.
try to use HydR-C0mpl3xTreme-2.7a or perseus 29.2 kernel.. It will make your batetry better
Thanks for your replies. I have changed my ROM to Omega 4.2 with Siyah Kernel. Seems good until now. Lets see how it goes.

[Q] ICS battery problem

Hi Folks,
Recently, I updated my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 from Honeycomb to ICS (Android 4.0.4). As a result, I now find that battery capacity falls at 1.4% per hour even when the display is off and the tab is in airplane mode! The culprit would appear to be the l2_hsic kernel wakelock. Is there anything I can do about this? My tab is not rooted.
Thanks in advance.

Never had ICS running on my tab, went from android 2.3 stock to cm10 and now cm10.1, but i heard everywhere on the gtab forum that stock ICS came out with a battery drain issue on tab, so i don't think that there is a fix for it now..
L2_hsic has to do something with the usb connection, most of the time after you full charge, the wakelock becomes active. You should try to restart the tab in order for wakelock to go back to normal again

Hello,
Many thanks for your reply.
You have confirmed my findings. Clearly, there is a battery drain issue with stock ICS on the tab. I think it may also extend to some Samsung phones.
I will try your suggestion of restarting my tab to see if it has any effect on l2_hsic.

Hi,
I restarted my tablet but, this morning, same again. The only kernel wakelock that had been active overnight was, you guessed it - l2_hsic. Once again, battery fell by 1.4% per hour. I really hope that Samsung do something about this soon.

Samsung? I wouldnt bet on it......

Battery drain problem

Hello guys. I bought a Galaxy Note i717 from ebay a few weeks ago. I planned to use it as a spare phone, so I normally kept it at home for my nephew to play videogames or used it for work, always on airplane mode connected to wifi. Two week ago I started using it with a sim card and I noticed the battery drains really fast. I purchased two OEM batteries thinking it might be a problem with the battery, but it wasn´t. Battery holds for approximately 4 hours with normal use. I tried a factory reset but it didn´t worked at all.
Phone is running stock 4.1.2 since I got it. I was thinking on rooting and installing a custom rom and kernel, but I am wondering if it is some hardware issue because in come cases I´ve noticed the phone is a little bit overheated even without using it to much.
Any advices? Should I try the custom rom or did I lost my money?
When the Note was updated to 4.1.2 Jellybean alot of users complained of rapid battery drain. There are some great roms out there..Bigfu or Ptrm3..just search development. I have tried them all and they all have something to offer. The developers here are great for us average users who sit back and wait for a new rom. The At&t update was horrible for me used it one day then switched to custom rom.

You mentioned that the problem started since you put a sim in it. Could the problem be that you are in a weak service area and the phone is constantly searching for a better connection? That can kill a battery quickly without using the phone.

That´s the moment I started noticing the battery drain because that´s when I was using the phone regularly. Before that, I just left it at home for my nephew to play some games or just used it for sending some work emails at home, so I never noticed if the battery was running out fast or not.

I didn´t knew anything about the users complaining after 4.1.2 update. I will take a try with a custom rom, I hope that is the real problem and not a hardware problem.

I see we have the same problem. I upgraded to 4.1.2 just when I got it, so I can´t tell if the upgrade was the cause of the battery drain. I will try flashing a custom rom.

You were told to factory reset your phone.
settings > Backup and reset > Factory data reset

Wi-Fi problem

I recently got my Galaxy S5 and I have been noticing that it keeps saying that my Wi-fi is ALWAYS on, but i don't keep it on all the time, especially during the day. It sucks up my battery and I don't know how to fix it. So is anyone else experiencing this or is it just me? and what do you think I should do? Thanks!

Hmm... never had an issue with that. Is it rooted? Running another rom? International rom? Xposed installed?
