Screen flickers, random shutdowns and inflated battery HELP!! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So about 3 weeks ago I downloaded a rom for my GS3 Liquid smooth 4.4KK my battery was already kinda bad
Then my phone randomly flickered and shutdown it wouldnt turn on with the power up button so i took the battery out amd it was really really bulky.
I ordered a new battery for about £7 on ebay (hopefully it was genuine) but after a few days it too went only slightly fat. Also my rabbit chewed tbrough my official charger so i had to use i think was either my note 8.0 tablet charger or my dads note 3 charger.
I didnt use my phone for about 1 week. During that time i did some research and found out it could be either 1) the rom 2) the charger 3) 2 bad batteries 4 or just my phone.
P.s phone gets hot on the bottom when chargering... i mean hot enough to worry
I also just ordered a new official charger and a new genuine battery
Any idea what it could be ?
If u haave any clues please let me no asap im really scared because i cant turn it on without charging now

You must be crazy or desperate to use the note 3 charger or a tablet charger. Those have arnd 3.0A current and the gs3 charger only uses 1.0A current. I am not even surprised the battery inflated. Use the official charger and official battery. For guaranteed official items, go to Samsung and order from them.

It could have 10A. The GS3 draws at most 1.1A, no matter how much the charger can output.
@hwap, your battery is toast, change it. Does the device get hot when charging offline ?

Offline charging?
Anyway is it even safe to use the batteries? And you guys are sure its the reasons for my screen flickers and shutdowns?
So charger->To fat battery = unstable phone and shutdowns???
I mean as long as its charging its fine.... im using a samsung usb cable from s3 connected to my dads computer and the battery doesnt get hot now
Also my mum uses the same charger i usedd for her note 1

There is no way you will get a genuine Samsung batteey for $7, due to the NFC coil being in the battery. You probably got a fake, with a poor quality cell inside.

[Q] Charging on the Samsung Galaxy S3

Well I bought the Galaxy S3 on the first day of the UK launch and depleted the battery to 0% then charged with the original 1 Amp charger from 0%. I had noticed that this takes a very very long time, around 8 hours. The battery life after charging however is substantial and very adequate.
On the second charge after depletion once again, I decided to use a Griffin 2.1 Amp charger which I had used to charge the hefty Galaxy note with. The Galaxy S3 charges at a much rapid rate and takes around 2-3 hours to reach 100% from 0%. However I have noticed that the battery life depletes a bit faster, Is this due to my imagination or is a 2.1 Amp charger not suitable for this phone as it was with the tablet-like Galaxy note.
Also note that I tried to charge my HTC one X with the 2.1 Amp charger and it charge very slowly, while the original HTC charger has a much lower ampage than 1 Amp
Hmm I have been using my galaxy s charger 0.5amp and it has been charging pretty slowly but seems to deplete faster.
I have been actively using for 50min on wifi now and 85% left. Which seems a bit quick for me. I will try charging with the standard 1amp tonight and see.
Now fast are you depleting at?
I measure my battery life by checking the screen on time just before the death of the charge which was 5 hours on the original charger, with the quick charger its 4 hours. My Galaxy note has no change in battery life weather you any ampere chargers. Also the general battery percentage seems to run low faster anyway on the galaxy s3 using the fast charger.

Just wondering, since the S2 had a limit of 650mA for charging, does this apply to the S3? You guys make it sound like it charges slow as well...
Galaxy s2 does charge very slow for me aswell. Compared to htc phones the Galaxy s 2 charges painfully slowly. Now I regularly use the 2 amp charger on my galaxy s3 and have seen a huge improvement in charging speeds. It charges at around 2% per minute and still lasts around 4 hours of screen time for a full charge.

I noticed that I can only charge fast using original charger. While charger with shorted usb data + & - (ie. htc 1A charger) will not activate fast charging.
You can verify by going into *#*#4636#*#*, Battery, using ori charger will show AC while HTC charger will show USB
I think samsung made some changes to the microUSB pinout

Thanx for the "shortcode". Where does one find those?
Also from reading about the MHL to HDMI cable from older devices not wotking, it does in fact seem that Samsung have changed the microUSB pinouts (although my Nokia 1.2A charger shows AC in that battery "menu").
Mine charges from about 10% to full in about two and a half hours, using the charger provided in the box.
My s2 came with a 0.7amp charger and took about 2.5 hours. My s3 came with a 1amp charger and takes about the same. Charges to 80% in no time and then slows down for the later part of the charge

A battery isn't like a fuel tank which you simply fill up through the hose until it's full.
Due to physical and chemical reasons, a nearly-full battery takes a lot longer to fill by a certain percent since it simply can't store the energy quickly enough.
Additionally, deep-discharged batteries often start with a slower charging speed (and then cranked up) to keep the battery from dying too soon and/or not being able to reach full capacity.
is the Nokia 1.2A charger ok to use with the samsung G3 as i got one of these spare and would prefer use it if so as the usb is way to short to reach from my desk up and around the back.
but the Nokia 1.2A charger lead is more than long enough
Just to check with all of you, i've been told that it is best not to charge your phone or any other handheld device IF the battery is not at a really low rate, at least not till your device actually prompts you to charge. They were saying that this would cause the battery life to be shortened. But at times, I need to make sure that i have enough battery to last me for a few more hours before i knock off from work, i would just charge the phone (battery at 25-30%) even before it prompts me to. Is it alright to do that often?
2ndly, at times when i stream videos on my phone for many hours, the battery would definitely drain fast and i would need to charge my phone at least 2-3 times a day. Is it alright for me to do that or am i "abusing" it? =X
Appreciate all your advises...Thanks in advance~
so any update on if using the nokia charger is ok with it being 200mah more than the standard 1A charger since it has longer lead.
or there is the 700mah samsung charger from my old S2

I don't know why this misconception still lives on; lithium ion batteries require no priming on first use. The WORST thing you can do with a li-ion battery is to fully deplete it before recharging. It is much better to top it off whenever possible; having said that leaving it turned on, on the charger once it is full is also not the best thing (though nowhere near as bad as depleting it fully).
I believe since this phone has a removable battery with external charger the best thing you can do is always charge your battery in the external charger and just switch out the battery when it gets to around 10%.
Nek0onna you should charge your phone whenever it's not full and you have a handy charger.

Can anybody check what the max charge rate is on this device with a battery monitor app? I have handfuls of 1A and a couple 2.1A chargers. I'd really like to charge at twice the rate if possible but not all devices support such rapid charging (kernel limits and such). Just curious before I buy one Thanks!
Even if Samsung slipped up and allowed a 2A charge i'd never want to try it, because tablet and laptop batteries are rated and manufactured for a higher current charge/discharge and most phone batteries would heat and swell up and possibly explode.
my HP touchpad charges with a 1A charger and it would be nice to use that with my sgs3.
Can anybody please check what the max charge rate is on this device

Slow Charging

Since a few days my phone doesn't charge good.
When I charge my phone over night, it get's to 50% but not any higher.
The phone charges really slow.
I've tried my old htd desire charger end the normal samsung charger, but it make no difference.
What can be the problem?
The charger, battery or the phone itself?
It`s most likely the battery, make sure the terminals on the battery and in the phone are clean.
An Anker battery is around $10-15 , but NFC is reported not to work with it, or an original Samsung battery is around $25

The Mega charging/discharging issues..

I love my Mega. It is by far the best phone Ive ever had. But, the problems I have with the power usage and management on the device are a total nightmare.
1) The discharging nightmare:
The battery lasts NOTHING. Basically I get about 5 hours of use.. maximum.. no matter what I do.. and I have slimmed down to the ROM to having that NOTHING active.. I literally am left with active 6 services and I monitor CPU usage that is always near zero with NO apps hogging resources. From what I monitor on the device's battery usage, it's clearly always about 90% from the display! And yes, I dim the screen as much as I can of course, but usually not below 1/2way.. I hate screens too dim. However even just on standby with the screen off I still lose about 5% to 8% of battery an hour. Worse, even with the device Powered OFF, I still lose about 20% of battery a day. The ONLY way I have found out to control battery drain completely, is to take the battery out. That's it. Anyone else with similar symptoms and a fix or, is just that the stock battery totally sucks??? Also, any other off brand batteries are any better?.. (not the fat ones rated at much higher amps but that have an extra bulge.. that I don’t want)..
2) The charging nightmare:
This to me is the worse problem. It is bad enough how quickly this device issues battery, bit not nearly as bad as trying to charge efficiently again. I now have tried 3 different chargers/brands (and cables) to try fix the charging problem that is, it takes HOURS and HOURS to charge the battery. I am talking 5 to 6 hours to get it charged and if the screen is on and Im using the device it actually charges NOTHING at all and still keeps discharging (albeit much slower of course)... the fact is that the charging process is so pathetically slow that is less than real-time which means, with the device connected to power supply, the battery STILL drains if I try use it. This is absurd. However, mysteriously enough I have found ONE way that charges the phone super fast.. using a SONY External Power Pack (model CP-F1L) rated at 2200mAh. This is seems crazy because the power output of an external power pack should be much lower than the stock (and other Samsung) USB chargers.. but, it's what works.. the ONLY thing that works. And I have noticed that when connected to a USB Power charger, the Mega's Red LED light turn on faded.. however, when connected to the SONY External Power Pack, is bright red. Clearly more juice going in.. or something like that. Again, anyone else with similar symptoms and a fix the charging time, or, any good recommendation on a extra strong USB power adapter/charger that will make this thing at least charge faster?
Thanks in advance for the input and advice:silly:
Sounds like something is not letting your phone sleep or the battery is defective. Try putting CPU spy on it and let it set for a while. Then check to see if it is getting into deep sleep or if it is even stuck at a certain frequency.
There is an app on the playstore called Galaxy charging. Try it to see what rate it is charging. Though with the rate your phone discharges, the charger may only being supplying an amount just over the drain rate which is why it takes so long to charge.

Yes this is not normal, I get five hours screen time on fifteen hours usage.

Yep, something wrong there. I'm stock and this thing won't quit :good:
I would flash the stock rom back into your phone and see how the battery works then as this not normal as mentioned by other members as I am still on the stock rom but rooted only and I have great battery life.
That is were to start by flashing the stock rom and if no change then battery or maybe a hardware problem.
Did you have good battery life before you starting flashing with the phone or did this occur after the stock rom was removed and custom rom with stuff removed to gain performance?

You could try to remove the battery from the phone for about 5 secs and re-install and see it that helps as sometimes if you take the charger off as soon as it is done charging it might not show 100% at times when booting as I leave mine on for a bit longer and it seems to help..even though charge light is green..I leave it longer on.
If your phone is rooted get a app called battery calibrator from the google store as it is free and install it and just before you shut down the phone to charge wipe the battery stats with this app and then shutdown phone and fully charge and then see how the battery works after the battery stats wipe as that can usually help.

Thanks for the tip. Installed the app you recommend, now I understand better. With the stock Samsung USB charger I get 420 readings. With the other 2 chargers I get 500 and 540. However, with the Sony External Power Pack I get 1900!..no wonder it charges super fast with it! My question now is what's up with all the USB chargers I have? I even tried my old Galaxy Tab 7 charger (strongest rated charger I have) and still only feeds 480. This is all so bizarre. So, where to get a super strong charger for the Mega?
(sorry.. by whatever reason my reply got posted 4 times.. so strange. I try delete the first three but cant)..

Usually when this happens there is something wrong with the USB cable not necessarily the charger. Is the sony cable a USB type cable or a hard wired one? If it is USB type try using it with the other chargers and see what your results are.

Yes indeed I notice the Sony Power Pack cable is short and thick. The Samsung cable is long and thin. I get much higher charging power using the thick short cable. Maybe I need go shop for a proper longer/thicker cable.

I've certainly found the USB cable makes a big difference to the charging speed. I got a couple of 2m cables off Ebay and they're hopelessly slow, but the stock Samsung cable is fast. I just wish it was a bit longer!
I have the same issue
I have the Sprint Mega. Not refurbished and original factory state but I have horrific charge/discharge issues. Right now, my phone just got to 100% charge which I then unplugged the charge cable. Within 5 mins, I went from 100% to 96% and it is losing battery even quicker.
VeEuzUKY: It's been a while but do you still have this phone? Any updates? I should prob invest in a thicker USB cable like you've describe. It has the most charge rate.
I got my mega 6.3 last week. Since then it has said 100% charged... even when charging or dead. So I got a new battery thinking it was the battery but its obviously not and im not sure what it is that could be the problem. Im not sure if its crucial for my phone, if it can be fixed easily and cheaply, or if I need to return my phone to the place I bought it from.

Safe to use wireless charging overnight?

Just as title says... is it safe as if it were plugged into an outlet?
I don't see why not.
I have done it a few times already. Just stays slightly warmer I think. I use a pma wireless charger if that makes a difference or not.

This is why I wish manufacturers would start posting maximum surface temp specs for their chargers.
With that said, I'm guessing that Samsung's is reasonably built and won't get too hot. It also helps that part of the device hands "off" of the charger (that's also part of why I prefer circular chargers to rectangular ones).
Just make sure you keep the charger itself on a cool surface, and if you're one of those people who likes it to be 85 degrees in your house, you might not want to leave it on overnight. You could honestly probably rig the thing to vibrate itself off of the charger after a certain time lol.
I have been charging my S5 wirelessly every night for the past 6 months. I just used a low amperage charger so that it does not charge too quickly/ heat up too much. I am going to do the same with my S6 Edge.

I use an original Samsung wireless mat and am using a low amp wall plug with it.
I got the duracel power mat that was from amazon.com and I leave it on overnight. The power mat seems to not stay constantly charging it. When I wake up my battery is full and it's not excessively overheating. It's a PMA charger, not a Qi one.

Well I've got the original Samsung Qi charger with the fast charge plug for the phone and I plan on charging mine overnight tonight. If the phone blows up I'll report back! I doubt it'll be an issue as the charger will surely only draw as much current from the power supply as it needs, and in-turn charge the phone at the recommended rate. I've been topping it up throughout the day on the wireless pad while I set up the phone and while it got warm I wouldn't say it got overly hot.
Edit - Charges quite fast on the wireless pad! Only been on there about two hours and it's charged from 24% to 97%! Certainly quicker than my old Nexus 4 charged. Was warm when I picked it up but will keep it on the pad overnight anyway to keep it topped up and I'll report back if it explodes!

Mine made it through the night without exploding lol... in fact, mine was cool to the touch and was not even charging when I picked it up... I think the samsung charger must shut off once the phone reaches 100%
Edit: the technology must be built into the s6 edge because I just put it back on once it dropped to 99% and it charged to 100 then the light on the charger turned green, the phone lit up and said fully charged and then it was no longer charging. Definitely seems safe to leave on overnight.

Safe Wireless Charging
I am a traveler who takes a lot of photographs with my iPhone and Samsung S6 and so far Wireless Charging has been working well for me. I have proved that in many occasions while currently here in Southeast Asia (Cambodia as of this writing). Before leaving the US I made sure I was equipped so I shopped around and found a variety of safe Wireless Charging devices. IN my travels I would find myself tired and exhausted but need to charge so tendency is I fall asleep and wake up the next day and the device has cooled down after reaching 100% (during my sleep presumably). Look for devices like these.
I hope this helps!

Using Note 4 fast charger adapter charges the phone faster !?

Hello guys , i noticed 2 positive things but i am not so sure,
i think that using the Note4 fast charger has charged my phone from 40% to 100% in like about alittle as 30minutes !
the other positive thing which i think is that my Nexus6 didnt heat up whereas using the Turbo Charger heats my phone ( And i dont ever use the phone when i have it plugged in the charger ) .
anybody else with a similar experience here ?

Same with the Motorola-charger delivered with the N6.
The N6 is suitable for Turbocharging as long it is charged below 78%. (Read somewhere).

yeah bro , i noticed but the heating up issue dissappears when i use the Note 4 (fast charger) .. the heating issue on my nexus6 only is there when i have the phone down to 30% charge and then using turbo charger it heats the phone, but when i charge it with the note 4 cable it doesnt heat it up ..
would it be bad if i kept using the note Fast Charger on my nexus ?

No. The use of a different charger works good, as long as the charge capacity output is 1 Ampere or more.
The turbo charger of Motorola can do a 'warming up' of the battery, because the charger uses in turbo mode 9 or 12 Volt. But only when the battery is charged <78%.
I use the M-charger hardly. I prefer wireless charging.

you charge thos pad like thingies up and then they can give your phone juice by simply placing your phone sitting onto it ,
question is how long does it take to charge it from lets say 40% to 100% , does it take several hours ? or more?

1. Wireless charging works with every cheap QI-pad. Look at eBay.
2. Same as standard. Several hours. A charger connected to a QI-pad needs to have a capacity of at least 1A.
TIP - Use a flat type QI-pad for a Nexus 6. The first time using a QI-pad you need to find the best position. When that's done place a small marker on the pad,
