[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE GT-i9305 charging problems - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I have had a problem with my i9305 for a little while now. It started around 5-6 days ago. I noticed my phone was charging super slowly! The problem got worse over the days, to the point where if I used the phone while charging the battery level would go down, WHILE charging. I have tried two different official Samsung ROMs, and I am now running CM 11, still having the same problem. Over one night it charges from 10 to 50 %, which is NOT good.
I have tried:
-3 different ROMs
-3 different OFFICIAL Samsung chargers
-Bending the physical micro USB pin on the phone with a toothpick
-Checking that the phone displays that it is being charged via AC, not USB
-Different power outlets
Any help is appreciated

Oh, sorry, I thought it would be appropriate to post in the general forum since this problem may not only be specific for my device. I'll make sure to post in the right forum next time!

I'm still having problems

[Q] Galaxy S 2 - Screen Flickering Problem

Hi !
Screen of my Galaxy S II starts flickering occasionally, sometime it flickers a lot and some times it seems stable.Is it repairable or not? Guide me for some quick solution.
First questions go in Q&A
Second you posted in the S4 section not the SII
Thread moved
The real question here is what version of the S2 do you have? This forum section is specifically for the SGH-i777 device, and not for the i9100 (which based on your location, is probably what you have)

Any idea when Samsung will upgrade

They moved from S3 to S4, when should we see a Note 3?
There is a sticky for other device discussions
Also questions go in Q&A
Thanks

Phone keeps rebooting, sound doesn't work, the same changing battery and speaker

Hi i'm going mad these days trying to fix my Galaxy S3.
I recently changed it's display. There are two problems, the first one is that it continues rebooting randomly and i don't understand why. I tried to change the battery putting another battery from another perfectly working S3. The second problem is about the sound. I can't hear nothing, from both speaker and headphones. I followed the same procedure i followed with the s3: i tried changing the speaker with one from a working s3 but nothing changed.
I thought it was a software related problem so i put various roms like the Cyanogen 10.2 and the Omega but it was useless.
I sincerely don't know what to do, so if anyone can help i would really appreciate it!!

I think it could be a general problem, not really depending on the phone itselft, but that's ok for me!
Thanks!

Your phone has hardware issues, if you've flashed stock firmware and fully wiped it.
Next step would be to change the motherboard, but a new phone might be cheaper.

Generic Android - Custom Rom

A decade or so ago, was a frequent visitor to XDA Forums to custom mod my HTC phones.
Fast forward to late last year, long story short, picked up a fake Samsung s22 ultra which was a cheap Chinese knockoff with whatever generic android version it has installed
It reports its using Android 12 and that's about it.
In its current state, the performance is very very slow, and can take a couple of seconds to navigate between screens, launch apps etc.
Is there any generic custom roms I could throw at this thing?
EDIT - here's some relevant screenshots

lineageos charging very slowly

I recently installed lineageos 14.1 on my tab 3 lite and j7 2015
After I installed it I noticed they have been charging very slowly
I put them on the charger all night and they charge like 20%
I tried 5 different chargers and cables and I changed the battery and the charging port and I made sure no apps were running in the background
Even when I power it off its still the same
Any solutions?
