Hi,
I've got a S2 that is slow at charging (like 1% or 2% every hour) but I've tried multiple batteries, multiple chargers, reset the battery stats, changed rom but nothing is fixing it.
Any ideas as to what it could be? (I've ordered a new charging port as it was only £5 so that should be here Monday) but what other things could it be and is there a way to charge the battery externally? (not in the phone?)

Yes it's because of the port in your phone.
Change it

haha yeah but I mean, you seem rather confident that it's the charging port... I am buying the port just incase it is that but also as a backup as we have 3 s2's in the house

It is the charging port, same problem happened to my phone last year. I've replaced the changing port and everything is back to normal.

Dear XDA'ers,
My Samsung Galaxy S II thinks it's charging when it's not. Most of the time it does this for 2 seconds and then it repeats. But sometimes it thinks it's always charging.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks people!

Something is wrong with the charging port. It's a known issue after a while. How long have you had had the phone for?

Is it in warranty?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Mine did the same recently. I think its because of moisture/damage to the USB socket. Took it apart and left to dry in a rice jar, which made it do it less often, and stop when I put in and then pulled out the charger. Next I used a clean,dry toothbrush to clean out the socket. This was 3 days ago, hasn't happened since. (Touch wood).
also heard it can happen when the flat connector inside gets bent slightly,from putting in charger upside down (easily done) or some other way. May be worth having a look and checking if that's an issue. Hope that's helpful,had me worried for an hour or two

Nothing you can do except insurance claim or warranty or buy a new one. Sorry mate. This issue is exactly why I bought an s3, because after a while it gets worse and worse and then it kills your battery life.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
It usually is one of the two things: either the USB port is dirty, and you just need to clean with, say, a toothbrush, OR a circuitry issue in which case you need to replace the circuit.

After a month with my SGS3, It suddenly acts dodgy. It would charge horrendously slow.
Well, at first i thought it was my stock cables so I replaced them with a flat-cord Micro USB cable that I bought at the local market. It was fine for a week then bam!!!! My second cable starts to act dodgy too.......well NOW it FREAKED me out cause i thought it was probably my phone that has problems cause it won't connect to my pc. after plugging it back to the AC, My phone recognizes it as "USB" and it will only charge @ 450 mA which is painstakingly slow....
Need some people who are also experiencing this and how they solved it, if they had.
I am currently on CM 10.1 and also tried OMEGA 34 but the problem persists. THANKS
On a side note:
Can we have a proper explanation as to why this happens in the stock sgs3 charger?
Does heat has anything to do with it? Because my usb cables sure is hot after a charge..
Well whatever it is, I hope for someone to give us some insight regarding this problem.
yep its true !
i replaced my charger
try contacting SC.
Might do so

Can you recommend me a good charger that charges this phone as fast as the stock charger?
I might skip the try contacting SC part.
1. It's a hassle
2. The SC here in my country is F***ed up!
3. I am rooted and ther is no way I can return to stock because of Destroyed cables! the nerve!
Change charger and cable. I had same issue. Samsung should look on it.

So with this many people having problems, Samsung should REALLY look into this as this is not a MINOR problem especially because THIS PHONE is a FLAGSHIP DEVICE. Mind them......this is bad for their reputation!

Strange thing is that I've never used the SIII charger. I upgraded from the SII and just kept using the charger from it, since it was already plugged in. Sometimes, laziness has it's benefits! :laugh:
Well I'll be damned if I ain't Lazy!

Lucky you. My stock usb cables are pretty much nothing but fried copper wires covered with rubber or with some sort of material.
My second cable was murdered too !!!!!!!! (Damn you stock SGS3 charger!!!!)
I might learn a thing from you or two.
I have never used the charger that came with the phone I have always used HTC chargers they are very good and the build quality is good.

Download Current widget from play store. It will allow you to monitor the current that your phone receives from the charger..
I seem to be having some weird charging issues.
On the official samsung charger which came with the phone it won't charge at all. Plug it in and does nothing.
If I use the galaxy S III charger it charges very very slowly.
With the HTC charger it seems to charge like normal.
It's very weird and don't know how to troubleshoot this. There's no overvoltage errors with the battery and it works fine plugged into the computer. So I don't think the usb flex is faulty. I switched batteries with another SII and it's the same thing.
Then obviously get a new S2 charger.
Didn't you read. I've tried 3 different chargers

Yes I did read, but you obviously didnt!
I said get a new "S2" charger. Using other non-official chargers will result in varying results.

The S2 charger works fine with the other S2 though. It's just with my phone
well in that case maybe theres a problem in ur usb charging flex cable but that occurs wen u have a flashing battery icon on top righ cornoer battery status shows over voltage at charging and ur phn restarts wen u power it off.. if u dnt find these things it might be something else then
I don't have any of those issues. I had that before so I replaced the usb flex. This one is about 4 months old which is currently in my phone

Yes I've tried from both, and an s3 its only mine which doesn't work. I'm using the HTC charger atm and that seems to charge it fine. I'm really stumped to what wrong with it

Hello people, I have a rooted s3 running super nexus ROM. I decided to charge my phone last night at 83%. This morning when I check, I still had 83%. I have changed all my chargers and cables(charger and cables are original) before this happened but unfortunately I still can't charge. I don't know if its my Hardware or software problem. Anyone else have the same problem as me?
I have uploaded my phone info as well.

that might be some software bug rather than a hardware problem. did you try removing the battery and re-inserting it?
Yes sriram. I did remove my battery. As a matter of fact, this is my second battery.I tried resetting battery stats and factory resets but problem persists.

then this might be a problem with the charging port i guess! better return to stock warranty and give it in the service center.
Hello people, I can't charge my phone at all. When I plug in, it will say it is charging. But next morning, battery will be lesser then before charge. This is not my charger problem as I have replaced a new one from Samsung. I also tried re,moving battery for 5 mins and putting it back but still can't charge. I also wipe and reflash ROM but still can't solve problem. Any other solutions to try?

Judged by your multiple battery problem posts you probably need a service centre . jje
What about changing the battery instead of the charger? Tried that already?

It does not have warranty anymore. I tried my 3rd charger already but still can't fix.
