I am using a charger which is came with the mobile. Bt compare with galaxy s4 charger my charger charge time is too slow.. Is it doesn't matter if i keep using galaxy s4 charger..
Original s3 charger output voltage 5V-1A
Galaxy s4 charger output voltage 5V-2A

S3 and S4 are different phones, if you want S4 charging times then buy an S4. Otherwise there are many threads on slow S3 charging, search and read for likely solutions.

Flash Boeffla kernel and install Boeffla ConfigV2 app. Open the Boeffla ConfigV2 app and go to the Miscellaneous tab and increase the charging rate to a value greater than 1100mAh coz stock default charging rate is 1100mAh. But everything depends on the capacity of the charger.Here is the thread to Boeffla kernel:

Or, if S4 charger satisfies you just buy a S4 charger. Problem solved.

Hi guys i used to have galaxy s2 before i bought the galaxy note.my s2 used to charge in the background even though am using it.but i found note dont charge the battery when am using it.i dont think this is a special feature samsung gave it to customers i never saw a device having this type of issue. Is anyone having same problem. Is there any solution for this. Thanq guys
That's because the phone uses more power than the stock charger provides.
This is normal, but you may have better luck using a different charger.
How long have you had the phone? And are you using the stock wall charger?

Are you using an overclocked kernel? If so, that along with high brightness setting and using the stock charger could cause that to happen. plus it takes a few days of full charging amd discharge before the battery is calibrated.
Am using it from 2 months.am using original charger.

I had the same problem. If you get the wire at the AT&T store that is a charging only wire it seems to provide the phone with 1 amp of power from the original charging block. Or you can buy a wire off eBay like I did and it does the job.

Which ebay seller? Many sell bogus charge only cable...
Download current widget https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manor.currentwidget&hl=en
Use a 10 divider and if the widget shows 990-1000ma then you're good as far as the charger.
Now even with 1000ma chargin, if the screen is on, playing music, and navigation. It will either stay the same charge or charge very very slow. (very)
CobraCables... I purchased 3 six foot charging cables. One was broken and the seller asked no questions and sent me a new one. All cables come with a 2 year warranty and are high quality.

I recommend a 2A charger like the HP Touch pad unit. The phone only draws as much as is needed. It also come with a good quality and thick cable.

This is relatively easy to explain,
Your Xperia Play takes half the amount of time as your S2 to fully charge
My S2 from 0% to 100% takes approx 2.5 hrs to charge, so your S2 charging time is perfectly normal.

and it depens on voltage of charger aswell....650mv...faster charging...450mv slower charging...

charging time depends on charger voltage and batteray capacity..
higher batt capacity needs longer time to charge..
Not like i mentioned same charger was used and both phones battery got same capacity... So the explanation is still awaitedcc
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I thought the play has a 1500mah apposed to 1650mah, the s2 charges at 650mah while the play would be.around 850mah, the stock charger is 850ma,you can't get past the s2 slow charging rate best to get another battery and a external charger
need not be the same for evry mobile
That's a good idea, i was going to buy a battery, I'll but charger too.
It's 850 vs 650 but feels more like 850 vs 400, really do slow...

My galaxy S3 charges slow like in an hour and a half I only get 10 - 15 % increase compared to before I got like 30 - 50%. I don't think its the charger cause I tried charging my sister's S3 and it charged normally. Should I calibrate my battery? If so how should I do it? Thank you in advance.

You should try changing your cable most probably its the cable fault

your kernel settings might be screwed up if you are using custom kernel.
If you are using custom kernel than reset all settings in kernel than reboot. or simply flash the the file from the link below and it will clear all settings. than reboot. it might solve the problem. It worked for me...

If it dont work than PM me...
Will this work for the us (sprint) S3?
Your charger is faulty. Get it replaced or use an alternative. I had the same problem. Using my galaxy ace charger now and everything is fine

I had this problem once and then I bought a new charger. It fixed my problem.
Just like the op I tried different cables. Plus my chargers work fine on other people's phones

Apparently i had the same problem i changed cables chargers but all s3 cables and chargers even i kept blaming the kernels but finally i used by frynds galaxy ace cable and voilà the charging hasnt been better before. My suggestion try a different cable from a low end samsung mobile but original as duplicate wont do u any good.
Sent from my GT-I9300
You may use a kernel like Perseus which offers settings to disable 'unstable power source detection' and 'remove the safety margin' of another 100mA, and use an app like 'galaxy s3 charging current' to monitor the charging rate. cables can make a big difference too, I use my wife's sony cable which offers me 1000ma charge rate compared to the samsung one (little twisted) witch charges at 400 mA.

Clean battery stats calabrate the battery with an app (some people dont beleive in this) and flash a different kernel.I still use yank555 from his new site and its sweet as.Perseus or boeffla are good kernels too though.
Try another Cable when it's charge to long too, then you have to change your batterie

I cant use my phone and charge at the same time it discharges and my battery life is not too good.
Is this because my battery is more than a year old ? If it is I would like to know so I can buy a new battery
If it isnt then I wouldnt like to waste money on buying a new battery

Also I use a iPhone wall adapter with a blackberry usb cable I lost my charger maybe thats the reason it doesn't charge properly
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
if the battery drain is alright when the phone is not charging, you should maybe first try to use another charging method! I had exactly the same problem even with original samsung usb cable. I changed it to an older samsung charging cable (galaxy ace) and everything worked perfect again.
Good luck!
Ok thanks ill grab another charger and see if it makes a difference

New charger definitely! Watch out for the output of the charger, should be in the same range as your original!
Okay its confirmed my charger was too weak im currently charging using a blackberry charger for q5 and its fast as lighting no problem with using the phone and the battery draining when plugged in
So if anyone has the same problem its due to the charger
