Try using a new battery

Bro battery isn't old just 7 months old

It may be the micro usb port of your device which has dust in it or is damaged. Have you tried to gently clean it? You can use a compressed air duster or a toothbrush. Search “usb port” in the forum, lots of people had similar problems. If ever you need to change you usb port, there are videos on youtube showing the entire replacement, you'll need a new micro usb port, a precision phillips screwdriver and a soldering iron.

USB port is clean and phone only charge if I take out battery and reinsert then it charges sometimes

I would definitely try a new battery nonetheless. Just because it is not that old, doesn't mean it can not be faulty. Sometimes even brand new produkts fail... that is just the way things are. And checking that surely would not be that big of a deal compared to soldering a new port right away...

I will try to get a new battery

It seems either the charger end point / connector and/or the phone MHL port which you connect to charge are dirty clean them and try again.
I've tried to charge it with a different battery charger and tried to clean the phone's USB port blowing in it but nothing seemed to change. I really don't know why but today after 3 hours of problems my gs2 started behaving correctly...but when i reconnected the phone and then I unplugged it the bug reappeared... since the problem appeared for the first time I switched between different roms but always the same ... could it be still a software problem?

hi
i think it's a hardware problem. go to service to check the phone.
Have you droped your phone in water or left it in a mosit area? Maybe rust or something is causing that

Mmm not really, the problem appeared the first time one day i got up and i unplugged the phone as usual... the phone never dropped into the water or something like that..
Moreover if I don't plugin the phone it works normally... The problem seems to appear sporadically immediately after being connected to the battery charger...
Anyway my device is running a custom rom Samsung won't get it back

[Q] "Low Battery!"-Bricked S2

Going to ask a generic question.
The phone claims to have 'low battery' (DONT SAY A WORD ABOUT A CHARGER, IT HAS BEEN TRIED WITH A FULL BATTERY) and i'm unaware of the condition which caused this phone to be bricked. (Most likely a rooting failure)
I shouted it from an online auction, with 230€ below the market price
The phone can't be put into download mode by the regular way (And i'm unsure if the no-battery usb-force works, haven't got the phone yet)
I was thinking about flashing cwm, doing the wipes, battery log wipe etc. Formatting the system to a state nothing exists apart ODIN mode and after it installing the official new JB rom.
Has anybody got any experience with an situation like this, and how did you fix it?
READ THESE:
It's not a battery fault, another battery has been tried on.
It's not the pins of battery or motherboard. They are clean.
It's not the charger. (Seriously -.- I don't want to state that another battery has been tried to every poster)
The phone just says 'low battery' when trying to: Boot, enter recovery or download mode.
I DON'T HAVE THE PHONE YET.
POST ONLY IF EXPERIENCE. I'm not a noob even if i look like one, seriously. All i'm doing is just asking if anyone else had a problem like this, and how did you fix it. (Don't say use the search bar @ xda, i tried, didn't find anything.)
I think it's something to do with your charger.

Are you kidding me? The phone can't be set into download mode because the software fails. You can't boot it because it lives in a belief of the battery being low. It's not the charger, it's either the board or softwarez.

It's not the battery if another has been tried on.
Does it get confused and freak out thinking it's charging when it's not unplugged or anything like that? I had a similar issue, turned out to be the USB board that had to be replaced. It's a $10 part on ebay if that's the case...

You can't boot it. It thinks the battery is empty even if you put another battery which is full.
Did you try cleaning the usb port and the connection pins of the battery and phone ?
Also try usb jig to go to download mode

@ Teemuzz
You shouldn't ignore checking the usb port as some users had weird issues caused by dirt causing faulty contact. I didn't face it myself but some friends of mine did !

most likely as the device looks 'completely new' It's been bricked by someone. I wasted my money on it, and i'm unsure if i did a good buy. The phone's all clear by the hardware side. (Unsure about the mb tho, could be faulty.)
I'm positive it's either the battery or the charger.

The usb port should be clean as the seller told it's looking completely new on the outside. (Screen, under battery, jack panel etc.)

If you can't read that it has been tried with two batteries, the original and another which full. Therefore it can't be the charger since it wasn't used when the full battery was in the phone.

THANK YOU SIR for appreciating the time I WASTED to try to help you while you increase you posts count ....
1 . Plug your charger
2 . Try to turn on the screen 30-40 times by pressing the download mode keys
3 . When you successfully enter download mode
4 . Leave your phone for 15-20 min in download mode
5 . This way your battery starts filling.
6 Restart your phone after step 5

Meh, no problem. Just as i need to get my anger management. (Living without Leijonaviina is annoying.)
Got the phone now, no signs of life except "LOW BATTERY!! CAN'T DOWNLOAD!!"
Kernel panic? Could charging the battery on someone elses phone work? And will it respond to a jig? Mostly a general Samsung question
Did the seller dry the phone out properly before he sent it to you?

According to the seller, the phone has failed during a kies update (who the **** updates over kies? OTA ftw)
The phone works good. It's in the same condition he sold it. And it does NOT respond to the USB jig (yes, the jig works)

[Q] Very slow charging galaxy s3

Hi,
Since 1 week now I have some huge difficulties to charge my GS3. For exemple when I plug it before going to sleep, in the morning there is only 50%. Sometimes I plug it and it stop the charge itself (not at 100%), i have to move the cable a little to continue the charge.
I tried several cable and plugs, nothing change.
Does anybody experienced this? What can I do?
Ps : I already read this post but I didn't find any answer.
Thx
I presume you charged the phone through the AC power? I had similar issue prior which was resolved once I wiped my Battery Stats. Is your phone rooted?
yes my phone is rooter I have omega V35 ROM and i already tried to wipe the battery stats and nothing changed
Im sure you have also clear cache, wipe, reflash the ROM? Its highly unlikely that all of your chargers are malfunctioning, If the phone is still within the warranty period, it may be time for you to visit Samsung Service Centre (SSC)...but unroot first!
same issue here

no i didn't tried to reflash the ROM cause it was working great with this ROM before, I contacted samsung and they will repare it but i need to find the bill first. Is it really necessary to unroot the phone? Installing a stock ROM is good or is there something else to do to unroot it?

unrooting is in reference to returing to stock ROM. SSC will invalid warranties to rooted phones.
i just reflash the ROM and the phone is still very slow to charge.
I will send back to samsung i think.
i just installed the Omage ROM V38 and i still have the problem, you can look at this graph :
Take battery out for 10 minutes. Plug back in and see. If not possibly battery port issue, my wife's had to be sent back for it.

So different USB cables didn't helped? That usually does the trick. Other than that try kernel such as yank kernel which allows fast charging option.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
First flash STOCK ROM and see what's gonna happen.
If the problem still persists, send your phone for service.
Make sure there are no signs of custom ROMs and Kernels.
Solution is the CABLE
Here is a confirmation of the solution from Turkey: It IS the CABLE...
Check the cable end that goes into the S3, if you see 5 places but with only 4 wires, it charges VERY slowly... However, I used a $5 charger which had 5 wires in the end that goes into galaxy S3 and voila!

My stock Samsung cable has those 4 connections instead of, what looks like the 5 that can fit in. And it charges so slowly!
9/10 its the cable. I don't know bout what is said above. Mine charged fast then suddenly started charging slowly. It was to do with the kernels usb charger stability detection.

So if I install stock Android, will that change the kernal and therefore fix the issue?
I don't see why I should have to pay and wait for a new cable, even if it's only a few quid and a few days :/

All Samsung kernels have the detection. Whether changing the kernel or cable fixes it or not is not knowable.
all you can do is try. can you not borrow a cable to test it? Surely you know someone with a cable?
yes, mine s3 to does charge slow i have the Purelook HD rom please help, take my phone on charger from 4& next morning about 50- 60 & only charged!!
I have a similar issue here, although my problem only started with latest arhd 25.0 Rom, never had this with previous roms of arhd....some times the charge is very fast , then next time it will charge to 19% then stop, then next time it's fast then will be very slow... very intermittent, I have changed chargers. Still same results, going to try wipe the battery stats to see if that helps.

[Q] Phone shows it is carging however does not charge any battery..

Ok guys, I have a i9100 for almost 2 years now but the last 6 months I've been charging three batteries I purchased with an external charger due to that my phone when connected to either USB or AC power it shows as charging, even if it is off it will turn on the screen an show the battery logo, however, it does not charge the battery at all.
I can even see the battery level going down when it its connected what to me means that there's something with the charging circuit that is not sending the electricity to the batterry. Something important to note is that when I use a Stock ROM on it it gives me an error if I connect it to power that says "Battery Disconected", dunno what on earth that means.
I'd be nice if one of XDA Hardware Guru's could advice me on this matter cuz right now I'm tired of reminding what battery to charge and having a backup battery in my pockets. Maybe a mod to bypass the circuit and charge the battery directly? jus saying.
Hopefull

You can charge the batteries with a external charger, so the batteries are fine.
Did you try reinstalling your rom and doing full wipes and formats?
I highly doubt that the problem can be solved by a mod, it seems a hardware and not a ROM related prob.

Happens to me aswell... It started about 2 months ago... I usually charged my phone with magnetic charger with longer, unofficial cable. But some time ago, it started to charge only to about 85% at this point, phone disconnect s/connects like if I unplugged it... Only thing that solves this is using original charger, original cable (magnetic or USB)... This is the only way I can charge it to full.
Thanx alot for replying but i use original usb charger it come with the device and the same problem

Well, in that case... I would probably turn it off and try to charge the phone to 100%, maybe flash stock ROM via Flashtool, or just use warranty and return the phone, if nothing helps.

After you connect the magnetic charger upside down you fry one of the diodes on the mainboard.
Do as you want, your phone, your cash
isnt it repairable like the repair center will ask for theprice of a new phoen to fix it !!!
