As the title indicates it doesn't charge via wall, but usb charging works perfectly , even file trasnfer.
What I've tried so far:
Factory reset
New battery
Changed 3 chargers, 2 of them were original - they work on other phones
Clean the usb port on my phone
Also when I have it hooked on wall, one battery app I have shows that there is some usb connection on the phone, but it still won't charge. Any ideas? Running 4.1.2
anybody guys?

So I went out and bought a 2nd USB cable to leave at work to charge my phone. But for some reason the USB cable I bought doesn't charge the phone...instead it drains the battery..??? The light is on and the icon shows it is charging when I have the USB cable connected and I can even mount the SDcard with it. But the battery percentage slowly goes down. The USB cable that came with the phone works fine without any issues.
Is there something special about the stock USB cable? Do I have to buy a certain type of cable to make charging work?
I bought another two cables, even used a Motorola USB cable but never noticed that... it never happened to me.
My guess is:
Fact:
- charging through the pc USB port is so slow, to get full charge you need 6-8 hours compared to 1.5-2 hours through the wall..
Scenario:
You are using your phone or running heavy application while charging it so it drains more battery than charging ..
Just a guess.

Hi all
I have strange charging and USB issues with my Atrix.
when the phone is on it will not recognize the USB connection, no USB notification and will not charge ( PC or Wall). its seams that the usb port is completely dead!
when the phone is off, connecting the wall charger or the usb, green light on the phone and the phone will boot. still no charging.
in RSD light mode, the usb port is fine ! even I can flash.
to be more strange, using multimedia dock: the phone will charge as it should no mater the phone off or on !!
now I have stock ROM 2.3.4, I have tried different Chargers and USB cables but nothing changed.
I have searched the forum for similar issue but didn't found one. so if any one have the same issues ....... you are not alone
thanks
i've had weird results with chargers that were weaker than the stock charger that came with the device. i'd say as a good rule of thumb it needs to be able to provide at least 0.85 - 1.0 amps.
I have two motorola stock chargers, one is its original charger and the second is defy's charger. both work fine on the defy but not on the Atrix..
I think you are right. may be the power is the key of the mystery. because the multimedia dock has its own power supply which provides 1.5 Amp. so may be there is a malfunction in the phone hardware (charging ckt.) causing the phone to draw more than rated power from the charger which the stock charger cannot provide!
I have the same issue either! Exactly the same.
It happened like few days ago but I didnt aware that until my battery runs out
Hi everybody!
I'm having some problems when charging my device. I've noticed that when I use the stock charger with the stock micro USB data cable, the phone stops charging and it just charges the battery in 1% to 5% after I plugged it on the wall, and the charging led remains on. So I've left the phone plugged into the charger for 2 hours and nothing happens, the device remains cool and the charger remains cool either.
I tested the following scenaries and the results are pretty weird:
a) I tried using the stock SGS3's charger with my Nokia CA-101 data cable, and the phone charges successfully in about 2.5 hours from 0-100%.
b) I used the stock SGS3's charger and the stock data cable, and charged my old Xperia X10 mini pro and successfully charged 0-100% in about 1 hour.
c) I tried charging my SGS3 with it's stock data cable from USB port and It seems to charge very slowly: 20% per hour.
I don't like using different accesories to charge my phone, because I read somewhere that Samsung uses diferent usb pin arrangement because of the Device ID pin.
So my questions are:
What is happening with the phone/battery/charger/usb cable? They seem working well separately but not together.
Does the samsung micro usb data cable uses different pin arrangement than standad micro usb data cable? or Can I keep using my Nokia CA-101 micro usb data cable?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 it is a remarkably simple phone to disassemble and I'm thankful for that since...
I also had 6 different chargers and cables that would not charge the phone reliably, I took it to Sprint and of course they plugged it in and it charged ok when left alone not moved in any way. Well the charging for me was very intermittent and some cables not at all. It was as if the plug was inserted and removed and inserted over and over again, typical problem if the solder of some connection on the PCB is broken or high resistance for some reason.
I removed the PCB from the phone and examined it to find a micro USB mounted to the PCB with 6 + 5 additional conductors, the 6 that were in the middle of the connector I believe connect directly to the conductors of the USB cable. The other 5, 2 on one side and 3 on the other of the main 6 were broken solder joints on 2 of them. I have a really fine tip solder iron and a microscope which helps but is not totally necessary to re-wet the solder on each pin of the connector. Now my phone works like brand new!!!
I have at least 33 years experience with soldering, so this operation may not be for everyone.
Good luck,
Dude I wish I had the confidence to attempt something like that, well done you

Have you ever done simple mathematic & calcs based on the current output?
You have 2100mAh battery in SGS3, right? And you have STOCK charger. Output = 1A=1000mA => full charge (assuming 100% charging efficacy) would be 2.1hrs. Therefore, 2.5 hrs result from not 100% charging efficacy - simple.
Now, you have USB port in your laptop/computer. From USB 2.0 spec, its output is rated at 500mA => full charge would be more than 4hours.
The difference is result of not 100% efficacy of charging, but this, I assume, you can calculate by yourself (to give you a direction: how much data is spent from a phone to power the screen and to supplot media connection with computer, while charging via USB?)
Sorry that I had to give you some basic calcs from primary school, but... this is what you asked for.
Hello Fellas.
I have A Really Wierd Problem!
My Galaxy S3, Doesnt Charge On My Car Charger,
Only Showing Indicator But Doesnt Charge,
Ive Checked it with another USB cable on the charger doesnt charge, just indicating charge.
Ive Checked the charger and everything works well.
i even cut the usb cable with connected and its Showing 5V No Problem...
Anyone Got An Idea?
(The Data +- Green/White Has Anything to do with charging?)
I have this same problem, even tried to completely different chargers.

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.
KR
John
have you tried changing the kernel ?
My S3 would just not charge via AC charger.
I have tried different chargers but no luck. I have tried original samsung charger, HTC charger, even used the universal charger but it just wouldnt charge.
But I used fast usb charge which is basically increasing the current taken via usb port using Googy Kernel.
I am on Omega JB 4.1.2 Rom
By using USB cable i.e. by PC or LAptop the mobile charges completely in 2.5-3 hrs but by AC adapter it just shows 0 current and wont charge, even during charging the battery seems to be discharging.
Any Solutions about this please?
Before it I was on stock JB and had same problem, i thought changing ROM would solve it but it didnt.
Multiple posts on the subject read them .
Try a different cable fails then its a service centre .
