Get another charger
I have tried different different chargers... but no one is charging my S3. its just charging from laptop/PC/ LCD Tv..
Factory reset, then flash the latest stock firmware for your country with Odin -factory reset again in recovery afterward.
If it still won't charge, particularly when switched off, then you have a hardware fault.
Replace the battery before testing.

Hi everyone. I own a GS3 that has been running flawlessly for about 3 weeks but since last 2 days it has developed a problem whereby it only charges via the laptop USB port and not the wall charger. I have tried factory reset, flashed two different custom ROMs based on two different firmwares, pulled battery many times, etc etc, to no avail.
the phone starts charging from wall charger, but after a few minutes, charging stops. I have used the original Samsung charger, my old HTC charger, with a combination of many different USB cables and the result is always the same. The USB port appears to be undamaged
ny suggestion to fix the problem?
Android 4.0.4
I9300BWLH1
Kernel SIYAH S3 V1.5.2
Well from what i can see the problem doesnt lie in the data cable. So maybe it the wall plug section. Or maybe the the socket itself maybe be faulty.
Problem doesnt seem to be in the phone itself so nothing to worrry about too much.
Maybe buy a travel charger to see if that helps.
Also high recommended that you do check the plug socket to see if anything else charges in there.
Might be worth charging in a different plug socket.
Hope this helps

the data cable IS OK !!
How about the plug socket. Have you tried to plug something else into the same plus socket to make that it still charges for example plugging your laptop into that same plug socket that your phone was to see if the laptop charges.

the result is the same.
it only charges via the pc USB port and not the wall charger
Well I thought my phone was broke last week...
It wouldn't charge so I tried my old HTC charger and that wouldn't charge it either but it would via usb to laptop. So I purchased a new wire and that worked, I then tested my HTC charger on my HTC Desire HD and that still worked.
So the SGS3 doesn't seem to charge using a HTC cable unless connected to a computer. Try purchasing a new genuine usb cable
Alternatively, you could wipe battery stats in CWM (in advanced menu) and see if that fixes it

I had the same trouble, only 3 weeks after I bought my SGS3.
I did go to Samsung repair center, and they change the motherboard (under warranty).
2 Month before, same trouble with my SGS2, unfortunatly no warranty.
Samsung ask me for (around) 300$ for motherboard, and I did not do.
I've removed batterie and charge with external battery charger .... and forget it a while.
When I try it later, it was working fine ! What was my surprise !
I can charge it again with charger.... two days after "same player shoot again" : impossible to charge ... then work again :silly: !
I'm having this issue too. There is a whole thread of people having charging issues, and I assumed my problem was the same, however upon further inspection it charges via PC USB cable. That said, this may be the issue with the others in that thread.
My phone definitely seemed to charge by powerpoint when I first got it, but has since stopped.
Charging by PC is a pain, as I use my phone as an alarm, and my PC is in another room.
edit: the lightning icon comes up when I plug it into the wall charger, it just gets no charge. Is this the same as everyone else?

Hi Kippermois,
are you using stock kernel or custom kernel. I also had the same problem 2months ago, just tried another charger and worked, in your case it's different. Else it's hardware based, else something wrong in your kernel.
Maybe also try to wipe battery stats with CWM, i don't know if it will change something.

have you tried changing the kernel ?
Hey guys,
I bought my S3 exactly 1 year ago and everything ran smooth and was working alright. My phone is rooted and it runs with CyanogenMod 10.1.
About a week ago, from one the to the other I can't charge my phone like always.
If the phone is turned on and I plug in the charger (doesn't matter if AC or USB) the phone drains the battery whilst it is actually charging - wtf ?
The only way to charge it is to turn it off and charge it while it's powered off, but even then it charges ridiculous slow.
I did no changes to the ROM or the kernel, it just happened like "over night".
I tried to reflash the ROM etc.. but nothing worked yet. In my opinion it's not a software issue but I don't really know.
Has anyone ever had a problem like this?
PS: At the moment I am not in my home country (not before august) - so if it's a hardware issue I'll reflash the stock rom, unroot it and sent it to Samsung then.
There are plenty of identical posts to this, with the most common cause being a faulty charger or lead.
Which kernel do you use?

I read dozens of articles but I didn't find a useful answer.
The chargers and the cables are definitely not the problem because my friend also has a S3 and his phone charges normally with all chargers and cables. My battery is also working fine in his phone.
So no battery, charger or cable problem in my opinion.

ROM: CyanogenMod 10.1 20130531 NIGHTLY
Kernel: Siyah Kernel 1.9.1
But I don't think that the kernel is makes any problems. It worked like a charm for ages and then from on the to another it got ****ed up.
Usual reply flash stock rom .
Test fails replace cable and test .

If returning to stock doesn't resolve it then the charging circuit inside the phone is faulty - return for warranty repair.
that's your cable or your stop contact is trouble, try in other cable :cyclops:

Had exactly the same problem. I changed the stock charger with an other one and now the phone charges in 2 hours.
There is an app called Galaxy Current. Search in the play store. It gives you the input current when you charge the phone. If it is not 1000mA, then it's probably a faulty charger.
Moreover, i think it is a known problem with stock chargers. A lot of people has experienced the same issue.
Thanks for all your replies but it's definitely NOT the cable and it's NOT the charger.
My friend has also a S3 and we tried the following things:
My cable and my charger
My cable and his charger
His cable and my charger
His cable and his charger
Everything failed.
Then we tried:
Charging my battery with his phone (succeed, so my battery is working well)
Charging his battery with my phone (failed)
I also installed the App "Galaxy Charging Current *Lite*" - values were pretty alright (466mA on USB, 999mA on AC)
I have no STOCK ROM with me and no chance to download it in the next 2 weeks - the only thing I have is an old STOCK ROM backup (should also do the job). I'll try to flash it on my phone and if that fails - I can definitely say that it is a hardware issue (phone charging circuit, ..)

Yesterday I completely unrooted my S3, flashed the Stock 4.1.2 ROM but no changes at all. I can definitely exclude a software problem now.
So I am going to send it back to Samsung in ~ 1 week.
Thanks for you help though.
My phone is repaired now - there were some bad contacts on the usb-to-mainboard connector. Samsung fixed it and now it's working again.
Thanks for your help though.
Hello,
I'm running Temasek's unofficial CM13 (Darkened_Sky) ROM on my SIII. I thought my battery was dying somehow, so I bought a new battery, but still it's taking ages to charge, and does not seem to keep the charge better.
What could be the issue? Should I just forget the phone and get a new one?
Thanks,
Vince
any suggestion?
so it seems a charging equipment issue or phone's charging port malfunction. try different chargers 1st.
well, I'm using the samsung charger or charging with the USB cable connected to PC, I don't seem to see any difference...
ok, the charge seems to hold better, but the charging time is still very long (I think), any suggestion?
Hi All,
Kindly help. Yesterday i was faced a strange issue. While my phone is showing fast charging but battery percentage is draining. It seems showing as charging but actually it is not. But when i switch off the phone and it is charging normally... Any idea on this.
I have tested the same cable in pc it is charging slowly but this time it is not draining...am not sure how to conclude the issue reason...i dont have spare charger so yet to check with other charger....any idea or tips it would be helpful.
Currently am in miui 10 stock rom with NKG KERNEL
Problem is with your cable or charging brick. But the likely culprit us the cable as that's what usually dies out first.
Suggest using a different USB C cAble either borrow from a friend or whatnot. If you are able to charge normally using both the charging brick and via PC using the borrowed cable then your issue is with the cable
