Hi, I have a problem with my S3, I have installed CM11 and always try to have the latest installed nitghly. At first my S3 worked great, but over the months using it I noticed that it took longer to charge the battery, but still worked fine until today. When I put it to charge, the battery is drained. I tried to format my phone, change charger but nothing happens. Would I could help with this problem? .Thanks In advance.

Looks like you have tried most options but the obvious one change battery.If you have done what you mentioned above then their are not many options left. If you still have same problem on a stock rom then it is either battery or hardware fault.

I had your problem but it turned out to be the charger. You should try more chargers, not necessarily samsung ones. Best of luck.
Same issue with Samsung wall charger.. I changed it and now the battery is charging flawlessy.

Suddenly my phone won't charge. Do I need a new battery?
Here's the details ...
Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100)
CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightly (10.1-20121229-NIGHTLY-i9100).
I've had it for almost 2 years.
If I leave it plugged in, everything works fine. I can boot it up and use it normally. The lockscreen display and status bar indicate that it's charging, but it stays at 0%. If I unplug the charger, it shuts down right away.
It also seems warmer than it should be while plugged in, but I'm not certain that's part of the problem.
The results are the same whether I use the charger or a USB cable connected to the computer.
There's an immediate reaction when I plug it in or unplug it, so I don't think there's anything wrong with the charger or the port.
I've tried removing and re-inserting the battery with no change. I've also rebooted it several times... it shuts down when I unplug it anyway.
It just happened today, and I haven't installed or updated any software in the last several days. I have auto-updates in the Play store turned off. So it's not a software issue. The ROM was the last thing I updated and that was on the 30th.
I think the battery is really empty because I can't power it on at all if it's not plugged in. So, it's not just that the battery level indicator is wrong.
Hopefully, all I need is to replace the battery, but I was hoping someone here could confirm that or suggest what else might be wrong.
Thank you.
Check contact pins see if they are bent away or have crap on them. If not it sounds like the battery is dead, but I assume you already knew this.
I had already checked all connections and didn't find any damage or other problems. I bought a new battery today and that seems to have solved the problem.
Thank you.

I needed to write because this topic is on top on google results. I've lived the same today. A while ago i had a sudden battery decrease issue. There i was suggested to remove the battery and wait for a while. I tried this today. Removed the battery (simcard and memory card also... i just felt desperate). Waited for a while (i gues it was about half an hour). Plugged to charge. And my battery contiued charging from %61. I just showed wrong level.
This issue is happening to me too=/ but it happened to both my batteries in the space of two weeks
.
hi i have the same problem. i bought a new battery as mine was kaput. then a few days after that i needed a new charger port. now my phone wont turn on manually but when it is on charge it will randomly turn on for 10 seconds with 0% battery and then turn off. i tried doing the reboot with the power, home and vol up button but nothing happens. do i need another new battery?
I don't think it's the battery. I think it has something to do with these custom kernels and ROMs. I've been battling this problem for months with no results.
- I have a new battery, new cable, cleaned pins.
- Tried Lollipop, CM12 with kernel, one or two other kernels.
- Tried various KK ... CM11, Dominanx Kernel, some others too.
None work properly. I love all the updates but it's I just can't pin the problem down on my S2. I'd love to know what else I can do because I think I've exhausted all possibilities. Maybe JB is the only option? I dunno.
Help would be great on this.

Hi,
if you think the problem is custom ROMs then why don't you just go back to stock ROM and try?

I thought it might have been the pcb. I replaced that too but even that didn't completely revive the battery life. Went back and forth between JB and various customs mods to no avail. I ended up selling it for parts locally
Loved that S2 but it was time to walk away from it

I also had the same problem once. What I did was, went to recovery mode and charged for 1 hour and voila,it was charged till 21% only sadly. But by then,it has never rebooted like that!:angel:
hey ive also had a similar problem in which my j1 (Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016)) started to randomly shut down or restart around 2 months ago. Then, the battery would start jumping percentages like 100%, to 54%, then 33, back up to 84 in around 10 minutes. Then when I tried to charge it, it would stay at 0% and when Id unplug it, it would say 100% and shut down. Around late last month i ordered a replacement battery, it came in yesterday and worked fine up until a few hours ago. Now when i try to charge it it would stay at 0%.
Solution
1.Turn OFF Phone
2. Pull battery out
wait few sec
3. Connect charger
4. Put battery in
5. Turn Phone ON
Working for me. If not prob replace battery :fingers-crossed:
I installed cm10.1, I worked for two days, last night my battery ran out this morning, I put it to charge and still nothing, not even charging via USB or a charger. What should I do?

Try a different cable, I have experienced many problems like this and I've found just mixing and matching cables and charging devices will do the trick...
Not quite sure what has happened to my One X+ so I'm hoping someone over here can help me.
I plugged in the charger today and for some reason my phone wasn't recognizing it at all, and carried on discharging.
I have been using the latest stable CM 10.2 (cm-10.2.0-enrc2b) for the past few days and everything has been working fine.
I tried several things to try and fix the issue, including a hard reset, a factory reset of the software and also flashing the latest CM 10.2 nightly (cm-10.2-20131209-NIGHTLY-enrc2b).
I have also tried a few different cables, and also charging from AC and my laptop.
Nothing so far has worked, so right now the phone is powered down but only has around 16% battery left.
Any other suggestions on what I could do to try and fix the issue?
I'm no longer under warranty so wanted to explore any other options before getting the hardware checked out.

I've been having similar issues with my HOX+, though mine usually knows when the charger is attached. Try turning it off and letting it charge overnight. I kept doing that till it eventually fully charged last time and started holding charge again.
A very similar thing happened with my wife's HOX+ , Kept it on charge overnight,turning off the phone .It works just fine now.. So what were you doing before the phone stopped charging ? And did it start charging back.
Hello guys,
I am sitting with a little problem, my Evo 3D will not charge when the phone is on, yet if i switch it off it charges. I am running CyanogenMod 11-2014-09-20. But now if i use a Samsung note 10.1 2014 edition charger is charges whilst it's on. Would this be a connector problem or software? I tried plugging this into my PC and it wont prompt me for the connection type.
I have recently noticed a ? on the battery icon, it comes on a few times a day. I have four batteries, two new and two old, they all do this when inserted into the phone.
Your input will be appreciated,
Thanks!
Possible cable issue or fast charge setting issue. Did you have issue when you installed rom or all of a sudden?

Thanks for the reply. It is a sudden issue. I have tried other cables.
I had that ? on my battery and wiping battery stats in recovery solved it for me

Thanks, but this trick did not work for me perhaps my phone is faulty. I reflashed and still same problem.
Might go order the Samsung Note Edge, still debating.
Hi guys.
I have a bit of a problem here. last night I was talking on the phone (Galaxy S3 I9305) with whatsapp and the connection was lost, it happens sometime because of my wifi I think and i restarted the phone but it never turned on. I was running stock samsung rom android 4.4.4 rooted. it worked fine until last night. I don't know why it won't turn on, the battery was about 30%. The thing is I can't go into recovery either. When i plug the phone to charge, nothing happens, like it wasn't plugged. even Odin can't find it when i connect it to my laptop. I don't know what to do or what happened. I just pray that yoou can tell me what happened and how to make my phone work.
thank you in advance fo any help.

Try plugging in the charger for quite sometime. There are chances that the battery would have drained completely so it may take sometime to boot.

There are chances that it could be hardware issue. Take it to a Samsung cervice centre. Say that it stopped booting all of a sudden. Do not say that you have rooted/custom recovery/other changes you might have done. They will find out whats the problem. If's it a OS problem then they will reflash it for some bucks.

I gave it to a service center who repare phones. They want to try with a new screen to see if something happens, if it boot. but he is thinking about the issue the S3 had when they came out, about the memory. I just hope that it isn't that
