Problems with charging (or not charging )

Ok recently i have noticed that sometimes when my phone is plugged in to charge it wont actually charge although the battery has the lightning sign indicating its charging..
example .. two mins ago it was charging on 83% looked again 2 mins late it 80% when it works it works fine , but when it doesn't it can take about 8/9 hours to charge or it will get to say 40% i'll use the phone to update facebook and it will go down 2 or 3 %
also something else that has not happend before but has recently is when i plug phone it betterbattery stats shows a box with dumpsys or sysdump any suggestions
any suggestions
checkrom 5.5 , xxdli2 modem , stock kernel
thanks
I have the same problem
I also had the same problem but I flashed the ARHD JB with siyah 1.6.8 kernel and changed the AC CHARGING to 1200 from stweaks and now my phone charges to 100% from less than 10% in 3 to 4 hours
I have a similar problem but I think my S3 is simply broken. It used to charge fine, now it charges slowly and discharges rapidly. Replacing the battery and doing a complete wipe did not help. More interestingly, I noticed it even discharges when completely turned off, which I consider proof that it must be a hardware issue.
What USB cable are you using?
It seems the phone won't charge when cheap cables are used. Only fancy ones and the ones supplied by Samsung/HTC/Nokia.
I tried 8 cables in total
I'm using all official cables

Naturally, this is more serious than I thought...

I have since started using a charger I brought from a market and it works perfect. Go back to the original one and it plays up again

the same problem with you after Jelly Bean upgraded

Battery charging problem JB stock

Hi guys,
My phone is on UAE official
Just updated from ics to jb using kies and the charging is taking forever like 7% per hour
While on charge if im using the phone it actually is decreasing the battery instead of charging.
Checked using the current app the charger is supplying 1amp tried various cables and chargers etc and same
Would I need to factory reset or wipe cache after an official update.
By the way on ics charge time is perfect so not hardware fault.
Any reply would be great
Cheers

Been said in several other threads that this can happen if the phone wasn't on 100% when upgraded - maybe it removes battery stats. Apparently after the first full slow painful charge its reverts back to normal. I guess its trickle charging so not to damage the battery. Say battery was 50% when updated - it thinks this is full charge - once you do actually fully charge it the phone then re-learns the actual full battery in stats and is ok.
Not sure if this is 100% or not though, i made sure i was fully charged when i updated last night.
All you can do is try and see if its back to normal after a long lengthy first full recharge
Yes that could be the case due to updating at around 85 percent.
Thanks for the great info
What explains the charge decreasing while on charge on use ??
Anyone ??

Ok so I changed the original charger that has the usb input with the extension cable. This is the 1amp charger the red led looked dim using this on JB rom
Now I used the 500ma output direct wall charger with no usb input all in one charger and the red led is full bright like ICS rom and now charging while using phone and charge rates are back to normal
anyone know how to fix usb charger thinking its not AC more like charging from pc usb ??
Cheers

I don't know what really is happening but my phone started to charge reeeeeallly slow in the last two days. ( I got JB over the air a few days back).
It's for example charging right now and as soon as I start to use it while charging, the battery percentage goes DOWN.
I never had this before. On ICS I was able to easily get through 2 days (I mostly have power saving feature on, since everything works great even in power save mode).
What the hell is happening here.

I used to have this problem, too. I fixed it by turning my phone off and letting it charge to 100%. After that, it would charge and discharge as expected again.
I have the same problem,
But I have a temporally solution , I charging my mobile with my old charger for galaxy s2 ( which is direct to wall ) , it will charge fast as ICS rom before ( 1-100% 2:20 mnts)
I think there is a problem in JB rom, the mobile thinking the original charger (with extension USB cable) it is charging from computer ... so it is really really slow , plus it is not charging after 90%
any how .. the mobile charging well when it is off.!!!
This my experience
Yes like you im using direct charger 500mA and its charging while I use phone and I get full charge from 10% to 100% in about 2 hrs and 50 mins
For a second I thought I was the only one with this issue turns out many of you guys noticed this problem aswell
thanks for the all the input

[Q] About I9300 charging issue.

Hello,
I live in Australia and bought my I9300 from HONG KONG.
I had this charging issue from 2 weeks ago and I've searched many thread about i9300 charging issues.
Today I decide and just sent my s3 to repair shop and I asked them about change of charging port of my s3.
1. Sometimes my s3 charging alright but not fast as before it depends on time like 1% per 4 min or 1% per 9min. Sometimes not charging just discharging while A/C charger connected.
2. The charger as usb line + wall charger works alright without disconnect problem (but charge speed was slow).
3. The charger as like wall charger just line with wall charger not usb. (disconnect if connect wall charger)
I'm really confused this problem was related with hardware or software.
I'm not sure if the charging port replaced will solve the problem.
Please give me opinions.
Thank you for read and sorry for my English.
Regards,
Jin
First try to turn off your device and connect it to the wall charger, the device should start recharge without starting the android os.
second, is the wall adapter getting extremely hot while charging slowly?
third, try to charge with your computer usb port.
fourth, try to find someone with different phone and use his battery for a day. is it the same?
if you know a bit electronics, i suggest you to check your battery voltage using AVO-Meter, if it much lower then it should be (written on the battery itself) it means that somehow your battery reached end-of-life (maybe you bought used one?)
Thanks for reply.
I've already tried my sister's battery, too.
So I know the problem was not related with battery life.
This problem make me headache everyday.. I'm bit worried about phone repair will be completed well because I have to pay money...
PS: I have custom rom foxhound 4.1.2 jellybean ver. and I already downgrade to ICS Omega rom previous time. And this problem first happened when I used ICS Omega Rom.. so confused about hardware or software problem.. I just woke up 2 hours ago and can't go to sleep because very worried about repair phone thing..
if your concern is about software why wouldn't you just flash the phone stock rom? do you have any backup?

[Q] Didn't find any solution for this.

I have s3 I9300 unrooted with stock rom. Its charging and battery problem annoying me alot. I gone through many threads but didnt find any solution..my problems are.

If you can charge with USB, so your phone, battery and cable is OK, try use other charger

Not necessarily, the data wire or the port on the phone can be broken and not accept any data, only charging

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. wipe your battery statistics (i hope your phone is rooted) and check after that.
2. Have you also faced the same problem with usb charging?
