Ok so I was on Omega 4.2.2 v45.1
Anyway, after about 2-3 weeks of use on this ROM, I now have charging problems! (could be hardware?)
So, I charged my phone overnight with my official S3 charger (wired) and it went from 39% to only around 65%!!!!!!
Then I took my charger to work with me (and my other S3 charger, which is an official S3 USB chord to a S3 USB plug)
So first I tried with the hard wired plug - 4 hours and it went from 59% to around 86%
Now I am at home and charging from 46%, so far I am on 47% and it has been around 10 minutes!
It is not a battery problem because I have 3 official genuine batteries and they can't all be faulty at once!!
Then I borrowed my sisters Blackberry charger which works fine on her S3 and it doesn't even charge!!!
WTF is going on? Should I just get a replacement? I have insurance but how can I unroot to stock so they can never know of this forbidden secret?
Usually it is cable related. S3 has unstable connection detection which limits to 100mA if it thinks the usb connection is unstable.
Try a new cable (not your sisters blackberry) to see if any better.
If not, there are kernels (eg perseus / devil ?) That can turn off this detection via stweaks / devil tools apps...
If still not, return to stock and test. May be faulty usb port in your s3.
There's about 3 threads a day created here for slow charging so please do use search, as per forum rules

But this is the problem, my sister has same phone and my friends and they use my charger and works perfect for them, but I use mine or their charger, then slow charger so I am thinking it is my phone
How do I get this kernel update, I am now on I9300_Omega 4.1.2_v43.6 (I just downgraded from 4.2.2 because it used more battery and less stable)
Also,Thanks for help
UPDATE! OK it is hardware related because I just had to move the cable a bit to get it to charge! so my S3 USB mini socket is damaged, but if so, why does it still charge? (even though charge is dead slow, so slow now it hasn't charged from 46% it's still on 46%!!!))
Stability detection... that's why. As mentioned in previous post

Hi guys,
i have a serious problem here my S3 doesn't seem to charge at all, i have tried putting my battery in another S3 and it charged well with the same charger, so the problem seems to be from the phone it self.
Does any one ran through somthing like that before, please help.
thanks

Multiple posts on identical subject ..
Change cable change charger try on another phone .
Factory reset
Take to a service centre .
As you have already posted charging problems before .

I've tried many chargers and cables, the only one that works for me is my nexus 7 mains charger, I get a steady 1 amp using that. I can't believe so many chargers and cables just can't charge my S3 quickly enough!

My phone doesnt seem to charge.
Ive replaced the battery and the chargers (on my third charger this week) and nothing seems to work. Two of the chargers dont seem to be recognised so dont charge the phone at all, the other one does but wouldnt charge the phone even though i was getting a steady charge of 1000mA through it.
Im using Boefla kernel and have 'ignore unstable current' and 'ignore safety margin' both ticked but have tried on my ROMs standard kernel (using Omni) and still getting no increase in battery percentage.
This would all point to the phones USB port not working but i used my girlfriends Lumia charger and surprisingly it charged normally
I have read in one of the other battery threads that a fatter USB cable allows the phone to charge, can this be confirmed? One of the new chargers (one that isnt recognised) ive bought is a 2A charger so i wouldnt have thought that size of the cable would cause a problem?
Any suggestions would be great.
A cheap charger or cable may cause problems, a worn usb port also. More likely to be issues with the plug or socket than the cable core size.

I thought it may have been the cheap charger thing. 2 of them are cheap nasty things but the other one is fine, ive used the same make previously and it worked fine. I thought the USB port myself till it charged using the Lumia charger.
Looks like im gonna have to buy a Samsung charger and see what happens.
My two years old international version s3 takes a very long time (5-6 hours) to charge (and also discharges while kept on charge if the phone's disturbed or used) I even had the connector pin changed. Used different chargers. Different batteries. Different ROMs. The problem still persists. What could be the issue?

IC failure on the motherboard, new motherboard required -or buy an external charger and a spare battery.

Have you tried S4 Revolution Roms

are you ever tried S4 Revolution ROM ( v12 ) ? Try S4 Revolution ROM or else try a different Kernel that supports changing charging speed
Try this link too

As pointed out in #3 link, you could try Boeffla Kernel.
I'm using this with stock rom and it's really good.

Upto what mAh is it safe to increase?

to me it seems a hardware problem... If with different romcameras still fail... it could be a hardware problem in the main board.
Get a custom kernel and look for this setting in the kernel config: "ignore unstable ... ".
That should improve the charge rate significantly in your case.

Have you used different charging cable? Buy some original nokia cable CA-101D. Please buy original one.
Samsung charging cables are crap. This is cable issue.
Not necessarily a cable issue, he said he tried different charges as well. Also, your stock charges are generally 1.0A (Samsung), Nokia is 1.2 if i'm not mistaken. I dont think u can configure your phone to receive more charge from a wall charger than its output. You could try altering your USB port, but im sure there's a hardware cap on the port itself. Just send the phone in for repair.

Let him try my suggestion. I was hving the same issue, I solved it that way.
Hello,
Lately I've been having a weird issue with charging my I9300 device:
When I charge the device using the charger (which is original, by Samsung) , sometimes it takes a huge amount of time to charge, and if I also use the device (even for simple things) it actually drains the battery instead of charging it.
I've installed "Galaxy charging current" app, which also shows weird results:
When I have this issue, the average/maximum value is about 400mA or even 100mA , but when I disconnect the USB from the device and reconnect it, the values can change to 900 or 999 or even a bit higher.
My device is running on CM rom version "11-20140612-NIGHTLY-i9300" .
I'm not sure if it's related to the rom , the kernel or something about the hardware.
I've checked the battery status by going to a hidden (?) setting (using my app btw) of "Testing"->"Battery information", and saw that for "battery health", it says "Good". Attached a screenshot of what I see.
Can anyone please help?
Also, is there maybe an app that can warn me when the device is being charged yet it has the battery being drained? Or maybe give me an estimated time till the battery will finish being charged? I also hope that such an app won't drain the battery by itself...
This behaviour is caused due to the inbuilt charging protection mechanisms.
Its usually the cable. Samsung one is known to be crappy. Get a proper one and try.
If you are still experiencing issues plug it in to a different port. Front panel USB ports are sometimes too weak to supply high currents

Is it possible it's just the cable and not the charger?
I thought that cables are "stupid" .
EDIT: that's weird.
I tried 2 other cables: an old one of LG, and a new one of Chromecast. Both showed about 460mA in the app, no matter how many times I re-connected the device to them.
I've also tried to connect the Samsung's USB to the computer's front USB, and it gave me 400mA, but I think this is more expected.
Do you think that using a different new USB cable will solve it? or maybe it's the charger?
EDIT: just tried a new Samsung USB, and it seems to work just fine.
I didn't know USB cables are so different.
i olso had problem with charging..stock charger ...slow charging and battery drain on charge ....it was a problem with wall charge unit ...i used other phone's charger but max on that was 700 mAh and phone charged normaly.(but slowly)..now again my stock charger is working again plus i have 2m cable aftermarket ....can that be a softvare issue...if unit isn't good than it souldn't charge now normaly
