Anybody else have an issue with wireless charging after upgrading to Lollipop? My phone will only charge to 50% and no higher. This started occurring after updating to 5.0.2.
Using a SM-G850F version 5.0.2 unrooted
This happened to me too when I upgraded to 5.02. Now my phone only wirelessly charges upto 69%

With 5.02 installed, Qi charging increases the temperature of the phone to the point where I get an error message stating there is a problem with the battery, when I know there is not, and the phone gets quite hot.
Reverted back to 4.4.4 via odin and Qi charging is working fine again.
It would interesting to know if users with the official samsung wireless charging cover get this problem with 5.02. I am using a 3rd party wireless receiver.
As battery charging is simply by voltage through the connectors in the rear of the phone I doubt there is a difference between the charging system but you never know. Mine only charges to 73% with a Phone Salesman Alpha Slim PWRcard.
I also have this problem - I have a fonesalesman slim PWRcard and it used to work flawlessly, but since the update to 5.0.2 it is useless! It connects and says it is charging, but then doesn't charge. On some charging pads it constantly connects and disconnects, but still doesn't charge. I would appreciate any help as wireless charging was an incredibly useful feature.
I think we need to be pestering Samsung with this, it is a problem of their making. Interestingly I sat my phone on the dock whilst it was in TW Recovery Mode and it fully charged.

I think your options are:
-Await the Marshmallow update and charge via USB
or
-Downgrade back to KitKat like I did.

I think samsung will not help because the wireless charging is not their product.

I hope they (Samsung) do not take that stance. The reason why I went wireless is because all Qi-compatible device should work with each other. That's the whole reason why I sold my Duracell Powermat ages ago. I'm not looking for rapid wireless charging, just more that 55%.
As for an update: I'm running CM13 6.0.1 and rooted. Still no luck getting a full charge.

So on Marshmallow should not expect improvement of the situation with a wireless charging? Or not?
In 4.4.4 worked well. So the problem is the system?

So i bought my SGS3 (marble white) a few days ago and it was working perfectly fine. A few days ago my phone suddenly stopped charging. I rebooted the phone and it was charging again. Last night it again stopped charging. I again rebooted but this time it did not fix the problem.
I know that the charging port of the phone is not damaged as phone works perfectly fine when connected to a pc via usb cable and charges.
And i have never ever plugged in a non-genuine accessory to its micro usb port. Not even a dock!
Anyone with a similar problem or cure?
edit: software update fixed it in my case.

I will not say I have a cure, but I am facing the same problem, sometimes I have to reboot twice for it to start charging.
Guru's kindly look into the issue and help us, this happens in both the cases, while charging for adapter or while charging from USB.

Well not exactly, it does not happen when i plug the phone into a usb port.
It happens with the charger but, now my phone is not just recognizing the charger. I have rebooted twice, thrice but still the same problem.
I'm having a similar problem,
Charging when -
phone on
power save on - WIFI/data and most other things are off
charges 2% per hr with official charger (wall socket)
Charging when -
phone OFF!
40% per hr with official charger (wall socket)
Haven't really tried the PC USB charging yet,
But i have noticed that my battery info page says the phones been on battery for
2 days 22hrs, Very strange as i have charged and attempted to charge the phone more than 10 times in the past 24hrs.
Anyone also noticed the on battery time to be wrong?
i got this problem yesterday too , restart then its ok , weird ...
before reboot the battery icon shows charging icon but its not charging at all
does charging a battery run a software too ?
why you guys not reporting the issue in samsung mobile showroom from where you bought the mobile and take a use of your warranty card?

My mobile is no more in warranty as I have rooted my phone, will have to come back to stock rom for me to claim warranty, that's why I am waiting for someone to provide solution before I return back to stock rom for warranty claim.
Sounds like it's an issue with the charger, rather than the phone.

I thought it was best to ask here before i contact orange to report the problem, as i really didn't want to send the phone back to them if its something i could have fixed
I'm doing a factory reset and if it still has charging problems i will call orange today.
I'm facing the same problem. It started about 2 weeks ago.
I tried different chargers but no hope. the only way to charge it is via a usb port.
I had this problem once on the first day I got my phone. Worked fine though with an iphone charger with the samsung usb cable. Have any of you guys tried that?

I thanked your post accidentally while trying to quote you
The batterystats.bin file only resets itself after a full charge to 100%. That's the file that's responsible for showing all the battery usage info. So if you just keep topping up your phone without letting it charge to 100%, the battery statistics will be from the last full charge. If you see the graph you'll see it rises everytime you charge and then falls when you take it off charge. It cumulatively shows the amount of time you've used the phone on battery since the last full charge, regardless of how much you charge it in between. When you let it charge fully to 100% and unplug it, the battery stats file will be reset and give you a correct reading.

I'm having a similar issue, only difference to what you guys are having is that my SIII start charging via the normal charger if its been in USB for a bit, like 2-5 min. I tried the rebooting, nothing. it only charges through USB 1st, then it will work via the stock charger, I've tested it on another charger aswell, and the samsung car charger.
I really hope there is a quick fix, becuase I dont want to send it in for repairs, as cellphone providers in SA arent the best.
I had a similar problem with my gtab 2 10.1 but the wall charger is to blame

Charging via USB on PC it is possable the phone will use more than the usb port will supply. Charging from the wall is another story. Battery should not be draining while plugged to the wall at all. I have never seen any what you call Stutters on my phone. It's the smoothest operating device I have ever owned (including 2 iPhone's). Maybe you should consider a return before it's too late.

I am charging from the wall and I have had the phone for about a month now I don't think I can return it, The Source has a 14 day return policy for cellular products. The phone was running smoothly until recently and I'm not sure whats wrong with it.

You could try charging it with the phone powered off until its full, disconnect the charger, boot it and plug the charge back in and leave it until its full again usually just a few minutes, your battery calibration may be going wonky, You may also want to factory reset the device after doing this. If none of this helps then you should start making calls to resolve it.

Hi,
My Samsung Galaxy S3 (I9300) is just more than 1 month old. Due to the really bad multitasking abilities of the stock TouchWiz (On such an expensive phone, I couldn't browse and play music at the same time) I got really frustrated.
I rooted and flashed the ROM twice. Tried and tested two ROMs. Didn't quite like em. Came back to stock ROM.
Now I'm on stock ROM and still rooted. The charging time of my S3 was always very long and in my last charging attempt it has taken more than 9 hours to completely charge. I've done a factory restore already.
I've checked the charger through battery widgets and the charger is detected as an "AC Charger". I'm not sure if those battery calibrating software work. I don't think the charger is at fault.
I really need a fix for this charging issue. It's really sad that a brand new phone is acting like this.
Will be very thankful for all the help.

Okay, the new cable worked. However even it has shown the same problem once. The thing with my phone is it doesn't charge at the same speed every time. I can't be assured that after connecting the charger at night, I'll get a full charge in the morning. Sometimes the charger works well. Sometimes it does not.
You may have a faulty charging port or wall charger if you have already changed the cable...
Why not download the Galaxy Charging Current app and see if your SIII is charging at 1000mA using wall charger?
Galaxy Charging Current
My original samsung charge cable developed problems after 8 months (it started only charging at between 300mA to 800mA; changes after you plug in and plug out the cable to the SIII)
The wall charger is still ok as I get 1000mA again after replacing the cable with a Capdase cable.
The S3 has built in stability detection for USB charging. If it determines the connection is unstable, it restricts charge. Usually a simple cable swap resolves but as mentioned above, the port could be faulty.
If you're rooted try a kernel such as Devil or Perseus which can have stability detection ignored.
Hi all,
I've had this particular DNA for just about a year now. Everything has been going great, rooted since day 1, currently running the latest ViperROM.
I've been nearly exclusively using wireless chargers with this phone and recently picked up a few more chargers so that I really never have to plug the phone in (my USB cover is dangerously close to falling off and I'm trying to avoid that).
Last Friday afternoon the wireless charging suddenly started acting up on me. It worked perfectly up until that point including a full charge the previous night and a partial charge that morning. Since then I cannot get the phone to charge wirelessly anymore.
I'll put the phone on the pad, and it will begin charging. After about a minute or so, it'll stop. I'll pick the phone up and put it back on the pad, and it'll start again, but then stop even quicker. Pretty soon it'll rapidly start and stop charging and then give up all together and I won't be able to get it to charge at all. It seems that I can get it to charge about 2% before it gives up and won't charge.
Nothing has changed with the phone, so would you agree that this is a hardware issue or do you think software could be affecting it?
I really don't want to have to shell out another $100 for a replacement (this is already a replacement, I dropped the original) and I'll probably get a factory refirb with only a 90-day warranty where who knows, I might get stuck with this issue again in a few months...

Have you tried other wireless chargers to see of that was the issue or do you know for a fact it's the phone?
Does the phone have some kind of case on it that could be thick enough to interfere with the way it charges?
Sorry if these questions sound dumb, I did however read the whole op. Just trying to cover all bases.

I just asked a similar question. I have the same symptoms. I've been wondering if it's a rom issue. The only solution I've found is someone said that it worked for them if a usb cable was plugged into the phone but nothing on the other end. So, they turned off usb debugging and the issue was resolved for them. Didn't work for me, but maybe it'll work for you.
I am on Viper Rom 2.5.0 and have used various 1.x and 2.0.x versions without any wireless charging issues.
Im on the latest Pie build on Poco since yesterday. I was charging it fine earlier like an hour ago then suddenly it stopped charging at 80%. It won't charge anymore and I've tried charging on my laptop, on a new wire, on a new outlet but it won't charge. Is this a bug in PIE or hardware? I'm using the stock fast charger.
Edit: My phone still gets recognized by my laptop and I can do everything with it, except it still won't charge.

If you have done all that you said you have done, then it looks like a hardware issue. I have not come across any bug related to charging in Pie.
Have you tried any other charger, even an ordinary charger?

it seems the charging IC is fried on your phone's motherboard, would recommend taking it on a service center
Does it still show as charging in the lock screen or the battery in notifications tray but not charging properly? Or did it completely stop charging? If the latter, it is hardware.
If the former, do a factory reset. The former happened to me on oreo for some reason but after factory reset and updating to pie it got fixed. Maybe you just added a magisk module or accidentally did some mod that was not compatible with pie. Either find that and remove it or factory reset
