[Q] Charging status powered off - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
The status while charging when the phone is off seems to not work after flashing a custom rom.
Anyone knows how to fix this? See attachment.
Thanks!

It is an error in your rom, either flash a stock rom or ask your rom chef for help.

I've had this frequently on ROMS I've flashed despite the phone actually charging. If it shows that it is taking a charge when turned on it will most likely be charging when turned off, the problem is with the charging ANIMATION rather than the charging. It's a small price to pay for all the benefits that come from a custom ROM.

[Q] Phone stopped reaching a status of "Charged". It never goes past "Charging".

[Q] Phone stopped reaching a status of "Charged". It never goes past "Charging".
I'm running CM7 Weekly 4, and all of a sudden, the phone won't ever reach a state of "charged". In the past, this was not a problem. But now, no matter how long I leave it plugged in, it doesn't go any further than "Charging (94%)".
Note that this is NOT a complaint that the percentage doesn't go higher. The issue is that the status never reaches "Charged" anymore.
Does anyone know why this happened and how I can fix it?

Have you tried reflashing the ROM to see if that worked. I do that one myself. You can also try an xda search for battery calibration techniques because there are quite a few out there. I would try that before you flash the ROM over.

I haven't tried reflashing - this was a small enough issue that I was hoping to avoid that.
As for the battery recalibration, didn't we have an official explanation that showed that to be bogus?
It doesn't hurt to try right? Some of calibration techniques worked for me.

i get the same problem on cm9. I've heard its a problem with some roms. Maybe you could try this
1. charge until it goes no further
2. take off charging
3. turn off the phone and take out battery
4. plug into charger until question mark shows
5. insert battery boot into android
After i do these steps mine shows 100% charged.

That fixed it perfectly! Thanks! The only question now is how long it will last before happening again.
Okay, the second question is - is this procedure harmful to the battery or phone in any way. A little late to ask, but there it is.

Thank you for that. The problem it describes isn't exactly what was going on with me, but the next time this problem occurs, I'll give that a shot.

Well I think your problem is the same as in that thread, coz you"re stuck at 94% and never see 100% or fully charged.

[Q] Very slow charging galaxy s3

Hi,
Since 1 week now I have some huge difficulties to charge my GS3. For exemple when I plug it before going to sleep, in the morning there is only 50%. Sometimes I plug it and it stop the charge itself (not at 100%), i have to move the cable a little to continue the charge.
I tried several cable and plugs, nothing change.
Does anybody experienced this? What can I do?
Ps : I already read this post but I didn't find any answer.
Thx
I presume you charged the phone through the AC power? I had similar issue prior which was resolved once I wiped my Battery Stats. Is your phone rooted?
yes my phone is rooter I have omega V35 ROM and i already tried to wipe the battery stats and nothing changed
Im sure you have also clear cache, wipe, reflash the ROM? Its highly unlikely that all of your chargers are malfunctioning, If the phone is still within the warranty period, it may be time for you to visit Samsung Service Centre (SSC)...but unroot first!
same issue here

no i didn't tried to reflash the ROM cause it was working great with this ROM before, I contacted samsung and they will repare it but i need to find the bill first. Is it really necessary to unroot the phone? Installing a stock ROM is good or is there something else to do to unroot it?

unrooting is in reference to returing to stock ROM. SSC will invalid warranties to rooted phones.
i just reflash the ROM and the phone is still very slow to charge.
I will send back to samsung i think.
i just installed the Omage ROM V38 and i still have the problem, you can look at this graph :
Take battery out for 10 minutes. Plug back in and see. If not possibly battery port issue, my wife's had to be sent back for it.

So different USB cables didn't helped? That usually does the trick. Other than that try kernel such as yank kernel which allows fast charging option.

First flash STOCK ROM and see what's gonna happen.
If the problem still persists, send your phone for service.
Make sure there are no signs of custom ROMs and Kernels.
Solution is the CABLE
Here is a confirmation of the solution from Turkey: It IS the CABLE...
Check the cable end that goes into the S3, if you see 5 places but with only 4 wires, it charges VERY slowly... However, I used a $5 charger which had 5 wires in the end that goes into galaxy S3 and voila!

Can anyone confirm this?
My stock Samsung cable has those 4 connections instead of, what looks like the 5 that can fit in. And it charges so slowly!
9/10 its the cable. I don't know bout what is said above. Mine charged fast then suddenly started charging slowly. It was to do with the kernels usb charger stability detection.
Changed cable and all good

So if I install stock Android, will that change the kernal and therefore fix the issue?
I don't see why I should have to pay and wait for a new cable, even if it's only a few quid and a few days :/

All Samsung kernels have the detection. Whether changing the kernel or cable fixes it or not is not knowable.
all you can do is try. can you not borrow a cable to test it? Surely you know someone with a cable?
yes, mine s3 to does charge slow i have the Purelook HD rom please help, take my phone on charger from 4& next morning about 50- 60 & only charged!!
I have a similar issue here, although my problem only started with latest arhd 25.0 Rom, never had this with previous roms of arhd....some times the charge is very fast , then next time it will charge to 19% then stop, then next time it's fast then will be very slow... very intermittent, I have changed chargers. Still same results, going to try wipe the battery stats to see if that helps.

Charging via USB on PC it is possable the phone will use more than the usb port will supply. Charging from the wall is another story. Battery should not be draining while plugged to the wall at all. I have never seen any what you call Stutters on my phone. It's the smoothest operating device I have ever owned (including 2 iPhone's). Maybe you should consider a return before it's too late.

I am charging from the wall and I have had the phone for about a month now I don't think I can return it, The Source has a 14 day return policy for cellular products. The phone was running smoothly until recently and I'm not sure whats wrong with it.

You could try charging it with the phone powered off until its full, disconnect the charger, boot it and plug the charge back in and leave it until its full again usually just a few minutes, your battery calibration may be going wonky, You may also want to factory reset the device after doing this. If none of this helps then you should start making calls to resolve it.

[Q] Charging stops when phone is off!

Ok, I'll explain this as much as I can.
I have GT-I9300, stock, debloated, stock kernel, just rooted +greenified.
My issue is that whenever I charge my phone when it's ON it goes to 100% with no problems,
The issue is, when I turn it OFF and plug the charger in it just has about 90% in it.
Note: when its onit goes to a hundred %.
I know it's weird, am I the only one experiencing this? How do I fix it?
I tried using a different cable and charger that works well with another phone but issue is still there.
Thanks in advanced for your help.
Sounds very strange to me, I would take it back to the place where you bought it... maybe in warranty?
First flash back to full stock firmware then factory reset before testing.

Redmi 5 Plus MEE7 Global Rom Overheating While Charging after the latest update

Hi guys
I noticed that after receiving the latest update and installing it about a week now, my phone is overheating a lot while charging, a problem which I never encountered before this update for about 6 months of usage.
Is it just me or everybody?
Every phone is getting hot while charging it, but if you are using it while charging it gets hot. Also it matters if you have QuickCharge charger or Xiaomi charger that comes with your phone.

Hi thanks for answering
Yes I have been using quick charge and I always turn off my phone before plugging it to the wall. But this happened exactly after the update. I hope that it'll settle by its own or receive another update to fix this issue. Maybe a Factory Reset will solve it, but I don't want to do that yet until I am sure there is nothing else I can do.

I think factory reset won't gonna solve that problem. Mayby try installing custom rom or change kernel if you have unlocked bootloader or just download Stock rom and install it using fastboot (also needed to unlock bootloader)
Btw I'm using quick charge and my phone gets hot but im not using it while charging due to safety and destroying battery life. (im on stock rom 10.2.1.0)
