[Q] Strange charging - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
My SGS3 was working fine for all these days, but from last week my phone is not getting charger via power adapter but when i connect my S3 to USB its starts charging.
Its strange, when my S3 is connected to power adapter it shows that is charging but literally its not eventhough i left my S3 on power adapter for an hour its on same point(%) when plugged in.
I dont see this issue when connected to my laptop via USB cable.
do anyone face this kind of issue? or what could be wrong?

Try changing your USB cable... I have changed 2usb cables since I bought my s3 due to same issues that you are having.. If it is in warranty customer care will replace it for you.. if not then just try with another USB cable before purchasing a new one..

Yes... I tried different USB cables but facing same issue, not charging when plugged in power adapter and charging when plugged in USB

I think it is probably the USB cable I had same issue but I am now using a black berry cable with the Samsung charger and it's charges so faast

XDA IIs USB charger not working

Hi,
I have recently purchased a USB Sync charger for my XDA IIs. After connecting it to my PC's USB port and the IIs I realised that it the phone was actually NOT charging although the display showed "Charging". In fact, the battery was discharging.
A quick search on the web revealed that this was a problem present in the XDa II (but later fixed by an update).
Could anyone confirm whether this problem is present in the XDa IIs as well ?
Also, is there any solution available ? Thanks

I have the same problem I have two usb charger/sync cables and an adapter for the Car so you can charge from the car no combination of any of these works with my MDA III.
Yet the MDA does show charging but as you say is discharging WHAT A PAIN a solution would be great but as for the USB port on your PC and or Laptop it is likely to be the fact that there isnt sufficent current on the port.
Has anyone tried one of the following charge/snnch cables on the Blue Angel?

Judging by the image, the usb sync charger on that page is similar to the one I have and mine isn't working.
FYI, If charging from a laptop, some laptops won't charge anything over USB unless they're on mains power themselves.
Did everyone try similar tests with Desktops?

Just tried it and still says charging but isn't !!!!
Are there any USB cables that just charge the Blue Angel and actually charge it up! Could synch via infra red. Just wanted a USB change cable to keep in the laptop bag.

Just disable USB sync in ActiveSync (File/Connection Settings) on the PC; it'll still charge.
Yes but do these usb cables really charge and does anyone know where I can get a working one in the UK?
Martin Fields USB Sync charger works !
I exchanged the non-functional usb charger with one branded "Martin Fields USB Sync Charger for XDA II" and it finally works.
Hi,

Make sure you have the DC charger plugged in, not a USB charger

I think sleeco meant AC charger, but the point is valid. You must make sure that it is providing the correct amount of mah to the MHL adapter. If you are not using the AC charger that came with your phone, you should try that.
i use the ac charge that came with my phone.. how can i know what is th mah that is need ?
check that i made:
when the mhl andapter connect (with ac charge) and the HDMI cable is unplug the wifi is still connec... and dont fall
when i connect the HDMI cable again the wifi goes down
can it be the HDMI cable ?

Could be. There are different HDMI revisions. I'd try to get a newer cable. Or at least try a DIFFERENT HDMI cable. Maybe the one you're trying to use is causing some kind of short - who knows? Unfortunately, I have no idea on how to check the cable version. All I can say is mine works just fine, and WiFi stays connected.
ok.. i will try
i bought the adapter and the cable from ebay... if it make difference...

You can get almost any version of anything off of ebay. So not really a difference. The real question that will make a difference: is your MHL adapter the original Samsung adapter? Some knock-off, or third party version? An MHL adapter someone in China made? What about the HDMI cable? Some third party MHL adapters will work ok (I've tried one that worked just fine, but I didn't like it), and I've heard of others that do weird things. Yours could be one.
ok, i will try others MHL and HDMI...thanks

Galaxy s3 showing charger as USB connector

Hi ,
I have Samsung Galaxy s3 which was working fine for last 2 months.

Hence my S3 is unable to charge.
Again my charger is recognized as OTG cable.

Turn off your phone and try plug it again. See if it charging or not.

Hello, struggling to find anything similar to the issue I am having, sure one of you more tech savvy folk could help.
My car a 10 plate golf has a built in media port through which I can charge and use my media devices, however since receiving my S3 I cannot get it to work. The in car system display states 'media device not recognised.'
To work around this I bought an aux jack to jack and plugged in to it that way and this works fine whilst the phone is disconnected. However when I connect the phone to the usb to charge, it automatically defaults to media device not recognised and disconnects the aux.
My old phone had the same issue (HTC desire) however this could be set to usb charge only which would prevent the car system from trying to use it as a media device simply providing charge.
However, I do not appear to have this option on my shiny S3.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could work around this? I do not really want to charge the phone using the cigarette lighter socket as this has fried other devices in the past.
Many thanks.

Hi, Tnx for your reply.
I already tried that.
Following is all what i did :
1. Rebooted couple of times
2. Removed Battery sim card everything
3. Changed my charger and connected with a new charge
4. Tried to connect to PC via usb (USB Charging), but did not work
5. Also a factory reset when nuthing worked
After all the hard work, i had to visit Samsung service and they are saying motherboard will be replaced.
I still dont know how did motherboard got busted, but anyways its free of cost so its cool.
Thanks
QC problem I think. Glad you solved the problem. Enjoy

Potentially the cable or charger is defective, try another one and see if it repeats.
The system recognizes the OTG-cable through a certain pin layout which might be triggered by a defective cable.
Also: you didn't change the ROM or any significant other part (e.g. Kernel) before it first appeared?
@buftybasher: Thread hijacking is considered very rude. Your issue has nothing to do with his.
however since receiving my S3 I cannot get it to work. The in car system display states 'media device not recognised.'

That's because the S3 doesn't have a mass storage (UMS) mode, only a mode specially designed for mobile devices, the so-called MTP.
Most probably your car simply is not capable of supporting this 4-year old standard and relies on the very old mass storage mode with FAT32 partitions.
If you store your music on the external SD card, you might want to take a look at the Easy UMS APK here on Xda, it should make your car be able to access the storage. (Not all kernels support the feature)
it automatically defaults to media device not recognised and disconnects the aux.

If you are any good with a soldering iron, you could open up a USB cable and cut off the 2 middle pins (D- and D+) which are used for data, then solder the corresponding resistance for 1Amp or 0.5Amp charging to the phone's side of the cord.
Voila: charging-only cable.

[Q] Issue USB Galaxy S Duos

My phone didnt charging with USB anymore... 3 times ago i turned off the phone em plug USB and try to charge, it started the phone normally but no charging... And now, trying any method and any USB works
My usb was bricked??? There is a way to know about it?? Ah log or a app that shows if a hardware are working??
Or any solution???
is your computer recognizing the phone when you connect it ?
if it is and charging is not working means that the charging pins of usb might be broken
I think the inner pins of a usb cable are for charging , they might be damaged .
Try using another usb cable

[Q] Charging issue

Hi All,
I am facing issues while charging my phone from the wall point. It works alright when plugged in into Laptop.
However, when I replaced the USB cable with my old HTC phone's, the charging works fine even from the wall point.
I have a couple of queries:
1. If the issue is with the cable then how the phone is getting charged via Laptop
2. If I am using a different cable, does it mean harm to the phone? I understand that charge is controlled via adapter, but still...
It's well known that Samsung cables are a piece if $&@/!
If your old htc cable works then go with it. I use an old htc one myself. Don't worry, it's just a cable.
