I have a magnetic charging cable with led indicator.
Red:charging
Blue:doesn't charge
I had no problem with it on stock rom.After I installed cm12, the led switch to blue when I open a game with high cpu usage.The phone thinks charging, but the current doesn't flow into the battery and the battery draining.
Please help me to solve this problem.

Well I installed Battery Monitor which can show you the actual mA you are getting when connected. In my case the issue started after moving to a CM12 based ROM too but I decided to try a different adapter and connected the magnetic (DK30) to that new wall adapter and it works great so maybe it was a considence for me.

Hi! I'm having issues with my S3 charging via USB using mains. I tried 3rd party cable & original cable, both doesn't seem to work. The screen says its charging but after 30 mins, when went to check, the percentage remains the same. It was only when i switch off the phone that i managed to charge it. Any solution to this?

hmm. tried 2 different 3rd party USB power plug.
My experience so far: with standard charger + cable, this thing charges really slowly! An impatient person might even get the impression it's not charging at all. In fact if I use my S3 while connected to the wall (charging!), the battery will actually discharge instead of charge. Bottom line: plug it in over night, and consider buying extra batteries.
What's wrong with original cable? I'm using my portable hdd microusb cable, works well plugged into Xbox for charging

Mine charge pretty quickly (standard charger + USB cable)
But it does charge slowly if i use USB cable to my PC or laptop
Charging from a PC USB port not designed for charging will be slow as you aren't really getting all the juice you need. Best thing is to charge from the mains. My charger's fuse went the day I got my phone. As luck would have it, my Xperia X10 charger works just fine. So I now use that instead.
I experience almost impossible charging via anyone usb on my PC. I get info from device manager that the running port to my S3 outputs only 96mA, which is quite insufficient for charging. This is the first one smartphone which cannot be charged via USB port. I've had Galaxy Note, Galaxy SII, HTC Desire HD, HD2, etc... everyone is charging quite well from the usb ports... It's annoying...
S3 USB Charging Problem
I still haven't seen an answer here about the issue with S3 Charging via USB.
Mine is charging VERY slowly and it's infuriating. My HTC Desire S charges Via USB fine.
How can I find an official answer/fix from Samsung?
Charging problem should be related to kernel problem. I also encounter this issue before, but after i flashed Persues kernel then the problem fixed.

Sounds plausible. So how do I do that?
There is one problem with my phone which i have never experienced is that my sony mobile stopped charging with the original Sony charger which came with my phone but it can be charged easily with the aftermarket charger.
The problem is that the aftermarket charger output current is higher than the original charger. And I cannot even charge with the USB port of my laptop, the mobile shows notification of charging and even led lights up but the battery level goes down, but working perfectly with aftermarket charger. On examining, I found out that it can easily get charge with USB port that delivers high power (which is usually at the back of the CPU). After changing USB cable still not charging.
My phone is 1.5 years old, I don't know that it's the fault of my charger or the battery is acting wierd.
The other details are as follow

maybe the problem with the cable ....... you should be happy that your charger worked for 1.5 years... for me and my friends , our original charger didnt even last for 6 months
we use aftermarket charger...

Actually it was not the cable, it was charger, and I think battery is also going to die soon.

I felt that the stock Sony wall charger was not performing as rate 1500mah.
Z ultra has a 3050mah which means that the 1500mah charger will need like max 2.5hours to full charge the battery.
But mine need more tha
n that.
So i use an amperage meter to measure it and found that is just 900mah/1500mah.
I tried my S4 charger and is rated at 1300mah.
In this measurement i used the same Sony cable which is connected to my Z Ultra.
Did anyone here have this issue too??
I'm using the magnetic dock, and i'm getting everything between 800-1300mAh. It takes around 2 hours to fully charge it.

I am using an app called battery monitor widget and I am experiencing the same thing. Normally seems to charge between 800-900 at best I have seen 1100 but never close to 1500 or so.
I am planning on getting the "quick" charger to see if something is wrong with mine.
This is using the stock cable, if I use a different usb cable (thicker even, will not even get to 500).

I think its normal because it is within the usual efficiency number I got about 800-1100mah with mine on battery network widget. With samsung 2.1 amp charger i got max 1500ma.

But slow charge is good for battery..

I've had my nexus 9 now for about 2 months and I usually charge it overnight. The past few days I've noticed that in the morning it wasn't full. I tried a different charger besides the oem one included and had the same problem. The screenshot from gsam shows how the rate of charge goes all over. Has anyone else experienced similar issues? Could this be a problem with my charger, nexus 9 or some app that is using excessive battery in the background?
Try a different cable. Then check in settings, battery to see if you have ac charging or usb.

tldr;: quickly unplug and replug the cable to fix this

I tried different three cables, three different chargers. The one shipped with the N9 behaves really bad. The N7 one works good - if it works, as well as another 2A charger. what I get is this:
You can see two nightly charging periods, both with the same charger/cable. One night it works as expected, the other night it just loads slow.
I connected a power meter and noticed the following: very often after connecting the Nexus 9 to the Charger (with the meter in between) it will draw only 500mA or even less - no matter what output the charger offers. But simply disconnecting the cable and reconnecting it will suddenly allow the device to draw the maximum possible like 1.8A or so.
So, last night I forgot to re-plug the charger cable and therefore got the slow loading.
I'm thinking of asking to exchange the tablet but if all behave the same? Sad

What I noticed is with the provided cable it starts out as USB and then switches to ac a few seconds later. With a different USB cable it went immediately to ac charging.. I think what is weird is I never had a problem with this until recently. Is the problem there is something wrong with the USB cables they shipped?
Hello dear fellows- i am facing a very strange issue on my lg g5 (850).
I have a third party charger (Aukey QC 2.0) with a usb A to Usb Type C cable. This charger never failed me once on any of my Samsung phones. Quick charging always worked as it should but with lg g5 its charging speed is very slow. According to Ampere app its just 310 mA. After connecting this charger it even shows fast charging notification but fast charging is not there.
Today i've decided to charge it after turning it off completely and guess what... It was charging really fast as it should while turned On.
Now i am confused whether it's LG's software which is preventing 3rd party cables/chargers to charge fast while turned On or is it something else.
Any input guys or similar experience?

It's always possible an app is using a lot of battery while you're charging. So the phone charges slower. Question though, why don't you just use the provided charger from LG?

Unfortunately, the LG charger was lost last week during my travel so by chance I had this Aukey charger lying around which is Quick Charge 2.0 supported so i am trying to accomplish the original results with it until i'll get my hands on a QC 3.0 compatible charger.
Hm, my Aukey Quickcharge car charger even works fine with my phone.
Make sure you aren't using the phone while charging it, it will always charge much slower.
I have some doubts on my data cable. Will try to swap it with another one and will test again.

I can confirm that the LG software does not prevent fast charge with 3rd party chargers and cables.
I'm using a 3rd party QC 3 charger with a 3rd party cable, and fast charging is working just fine when phone is powered on.
And in Battery Monitor Widget I can see that it actually is fast charging and is using QC 3 to throttle charging amperage.
However I've experienced a couple of times, when changing cable in the charger, that it wouldn't fast charge. It was solved by removing the cable from the charger and connect it again, and then it works just fine afterwards.

Right now i only have QC 2.0 charger but i will try to arrange QC 3.0 charger soon to remove any of my doubts.

Seems like slow charging has something to do with the heat/temperature of the battery or overall phone. If i try to charge it when the battery temps are around 30 then it charges really fast but if the temp is above 30 then software somehow restricts the fast charging to avoid any damages.
I am not sure if the above analysis is valid but my observation has lead me to this point only so far.

I learned 2 things from my testing using ampere and a drok USB current meter:
First, ampere isn't really that accurate when it comes to this phone and charging currents. It was consistently about 200mah off.
Secondly if the phone is even somewhat warm, it will limit the charge current to ~300 mah with the screen on. However if you turn the screen off, it returns to full charging speed (1.8 amps in the case of my charger) I think it is some sort of thermal throttle to keep the battery from getting too hot.

That really is frustrating. I always see fast charging when plugged in, although it definitely is not fast at all if you are using it or have the screen on .
Are you plugged into a wall outlet directly? Not an extension cord? Sounds like a warranty replacement may be in order, it's possible there's something faulty with your USB C connector.
Have I not voided warranty with unlock? thanks
Tried with xiaomi charger and it works, no joy with original.
Must be faulty lg charger using same cable
I have LG G4 and I was facing the exact same problem. The phone would charge very slow while screen was on. Once I let the screen go off the phone charged at the expected rate. It seems LG is incorporating some serious throttling in their phones.

I think you can not fast charge while the phone is turned off. Maybe someone can start another thread where we can compare battery logs because this will help to see the amount of time used for charging. Is there any way of seeing if the device is using QC 2 or 3?
LG G5 on 7.0
I just got a Warranty phone because of GPS pins lost contact with case. Now I'm getting the slow charge message. I just found if I flipped the USB C over it fast charges. Just thought I would share though doubt y'all wouldn't have learned this by now with all of the testing you've done already.

I experienced that too. Isn't it strange?
Also, I experience with some chargers, the phone will just start charging for some seconds and then act as if the cable was unplugged and then start charging again. I don't know why. Anyone experiencing this too? In this case, it didn't help to flip the cable...
So disappointed with my G5 now.
Was great to start with now it's slow charge. Got new batteries but the same. Will charge off till about 5/6% then switch on. Lovely phone now just useless. Even got the phone and amp modules. Lol

This is a problem with the make of the charger. I have some Choetech QC chargers, and the programming in the QC is faulty. Some safety mech kicks in, turns off the charger, then turns back on again, over and over. I have some Tronsmart chargers and there is no issue. Of course, the OEM LG one works fine too.
