Hello everybody!
I have the following problem. Some time ago I hadinterruptions during the charging process. This has become noticeable that in between the screen was flashing up and the lightning symbol as it normally is when its charging was not on the battery symbol. This problem has been getting worse to the point that the device has only loaded temporarily. So almost by luck. Sometimtes it didnt work for hours and then it charged the whole evening. I even had the feeling that it has charged, even though my phone has not shown. The battery capacity increased after few hours. The end was that the phone no longer charged at all. Then I ordered a new charging socket and installed it. Since then everything works fine and I was satisfied.
Today, however, to be exact half an hour ago, I had that bad feeling again. The screen flashed up and the charging interrupted. It was now three times. What's going on here? I hope that it does not become worse. I ordered a new battery on the internet before all these problems came up, which was touted as original. Before changing the charging socket I have tried this with both batteries. Same problem. The power adapter was able to charge the phone of a friend of mine but not my phone.
Does anybody have an idea and can help me? Thanks alot!
Same here mate, now it stop charging completely... Have you found any solution? Tried replacing the charging port, but I was told that it is the motherboard...
If anyone have any idea would be helpful. Thanks!

I have same problem. Phone seems to charge well till 80-90% then, charging interrupts. Before my warranty has finished, I have contacted with Samsung. They advised to restore phone to factory setting, what I did. Nothing helped. I have changed chargers ofc for original one, bought new battery, luck of improvement... What is more I have noticed that my phone consumes battery a way faster than before – I have to plug phone every 6-8h with 3g, GPS and BT on. When I use google maps in my car in spite the fact phone is connected to charger (2A Samsung original one!) phone runs down slowly :/ I am rly disappointed with this phone… Guys did you find solution?
I have two of these phones, and both have developed charging issues after a year or two. I bought two OEM batteries to replace, and still does not help.
Tried various chargers, various cables. Intermittent charging at first, then nothing. 2 bricks.

May be the problem 's in the connection between MicroUSB port and mainboard. I suggest you supply 5V to 2 pin and waitting for full battery. If this solution working, buying wireless charging Pad .

Is there a spare battery charger for an 8125??
I cant find one anywhere.
yes, there is and here is an ebay link
http://cgi.ebay.com/For-T-Mobile-MD...9QQihZ015QQcategoryZ15034QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Thanx. 2nd question...How good is it charging batteries?? What is your experience?
Spare battery charger
Sorry but I dont have one yet. I've been thinking of getting it but right now the mda stock battery is sufficient. If you do get one, please let me know how it is. Thanks
Clem
Do you have any spare battery chargers? Say from an SMT5600?? It's the same charger. Just compare the specs on the back of the chargers-they'll tell you wether of not it's the same(compatible).
I just got a 8125 (Cingular) last week. So did my son-in-law. He got a car charger at the Cingular store. I figured I could charge anytime with the included charger so I didn't need to get a spare one. What made MORE sense to me was a second battery. A spare batt was cheaper then the Cingular charger and offered much more flex.
Final Solution - I got both! This deal I'm going to list on ebay was a combo package and cheaper then then what I expected to pay for just a batt. See link on ebay... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=35158&item=120035867275
Status - Just got it tonight - Plugged it in, the PDA/Phone all connected and responded as expected through the USB port. Placed the battery behind the holder in the back spot to charge it at the same time and after a couple of hours, the red LED changed to green - battery charged. Seems to work well.
I'll update later with detailed operating experience. But this on the ebay transaction. The other link in the thread looks identical but they appear to be different companies. The one I dealt with wil get nothing but praise from me. Why - Quick Ship, Notified me of everything along the way, Packaged great. I say this all because I ordered something else the day before I ordered this item and haven't heard a thing yet. Not the same service by far...

Works great! It charges the phone (when connected to USB of computer) and extra battery (when plugged in AC).
So I took out my sd card this morning and realized I had been using my replacement battery not the original one that came with the phone. (They are both the same official samsung battery, I just marked them so I know which is which) Later on this evening my phone was at about 45% and I decided to switch batteries because I had opened it back up to reinsert my sd card. I start the phone back up and my 2nd battery, which I always keep at 100% as a backup, was showing only 81%...
I thought this was odd since I put it on the charger for about a half hour every few days to make sure it's fully charged before I start the day just in case I need it. Anyway, I forgot about that quickly and set my phone down on my desk. About 5 minutes later I get a text message, unlock the phone, and low and behold the battery says 83% (and no it was not plugged in all day and had not been charging!) Has anybody ever seen a phone "charge" while it's not plugged in before? It went up to 93% and then finally started to die. Slowly increasing every ~10 minutes give or take. I even have the screenshots to prove it was "charging" while not plugged in.

The only time I've seen a battery increase it's charge is when the temperature of the battery changes rapidly.
And perhaps if a cell bridges over ..
But that's usually reserved for lead acid type batteries....not lithium ion cells..
You have taught me today ....as this is a first for me ....
And I wouldn't be surprised if the battery is starting to fail ...so watch it to prevent any possible device damage.....g
Um. No. What you're seeing here is recalibration as the phone adapts to the other battery.
So you changed batteries while plugged in ??
Ah yeh, that explains the battery charge increase, as the new battery takes over, and the cycle record was not reset because the phone still has power...
battery is fine......my bad....g
I've had that happen before, and I only use OEM batteries with my phones. Like somebody else said its just a software hiccup where it's recalibrating. I've had times where I've pulled a battery to flash something at like 50 percent battery, when I boot back up I have like 10 percent showing, and it will slowly increase back up to like 40 percent. Its happened a few times and there's nothing to worry about.

No the phone was not plugged in. And I've switched batteries before without this happening. I know its not a problem I've just never ever watched a phone "charge" itself

Sounds like a battery stats "hiccup" to me, when you rebooted after swapping the batteries it thought that the battery was the same, so it just kept polling like normal and reporting the "new" status. But i think that when a battery is inserted like that, I don't think that it can instantly report what the exact new voltage/Mah so it pretend charges like what you reported. AT least that's the most logical thing i can think of. My extended battery would "charge" like that sometimes if I battery pulled for some reason...

XDA is no longer worth my time.
Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on Sony's new battery packs/USB chargers? I've got one of their older smaller 2000mah capacity ones (here) but am looking at getting a larger one to keep in my bag to charge up my various USB devices on the go.

There's a few different capacities available.
7000mah CPF2LS
3500mah CPF1LS
4000mah CPA2LS
Anyone had any experiences with the new charger battery packs? My 2000mah is good but takes ages to recharge for some reason. Also wont fully charge my Z Ultra - I used to use it on my HTC One X. I know there are cheaper alternatives out there but I dont trust a lot of them as I think they falsely claim certain capacities. At least with the Sony ones you'd expect they really do have the advertised capacities.
I have the one in the picture you posted (7000 mAh). That's my review on the Amazon page you linked to (the long one). So far I haven't had to use it just a whole lot--I've never used its entire capacity in one charge cycle before, as I'm pretty conscientious about keeping my things charged --but it seems to be at least close to the advertised capacity. There's a little light on it that blinks between one and three times to roughly indicate the unit's remaining charge, with three times being "good" charge. I did one time use it to add about 30% to the Z Ultra's battery, and it was still blinking three times, if that means anything. If you want, maybe I'll use it exclusively to charge my stuff for a day or two and let you know how long it lasts.

Thanks for the detailed review on Amazon Any idea what the recharging time is like on this when it is completely flat? I'm guessing if it is 7000mah then it should be able to charge the Xperia Z Ultra at least twice from flat which is pretty good when travelling or just heavily using it. Also good to hear that it outputs 2.1A for faster charging. I'm pretty sure the standard Sony wall charge only outputs 1.5A which means the battery pack should actually charge the phone much quicker. Most other brand phone wall chargers are typically only 1A - it's generally only if you buy a tablet that you get 1.5A-2A wall chargers.
The Sony battery doesn't come with a wall charger does it?
No, I don't recall it coming with an AC adapter. I don't think it outputs 2.1 A unless you're charging two things simultaneously, but it charges fairly quickly. If you're not using it, I'd estimate it would charge the Z Ultra from 0 in about 2.5 hours or so. Maybe a little longer.
Hi guys,
I have had my S3 for 2 years now and noticed this problem for the first time around 5 weeks or so ago. Basically i noticed that it would not charge much after a long period of time charging, and also when using the device the battery would deplete a lot more quickly than what I am used to.
On investigation it appears that I am losing power while charging. I downloaded the application 'galaxy charging' which lets me know how many mA are being drawn etc.
Via mains the reference is always 1098 or around 1amp as it should be and via USB it is 466mA. This app monitors the average current being drawn while the device is charging and i notice that EVERY time i charge via either mains or USB the device NEVER charges at its max capacity (1098mA via mains and 466 via USB)
What i see which happens is as soon as i plug in my charger to mains it will start off close to maximum, around 800mA and then after 10 seconds or so it will slowly come down to say 600mA, a further 20 seconds or sooner we are down to 300mA and eventually it will either settle around this figure if i am lucky so i actually charge my phone (all be it very slowly) but much more likely it will always drop off to 100mA. At this power the phone drains more battery being on than power being given to it to charge so the battery goes down while charging.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Troubleshooting attempted:
I have replaced the battery with a new one. I still get the same problem
I have replaced the USB lead, i *might* get a slightly higher stable mA on average on one but maybe this is probably just coincidental
I have tested via mains and USB, the error occurs on both, I have tested mains where nothing else uses the socket and USB on a PC where the only USB port being used is the phone.
I have changed my ROM, I am now using ArchiDroid. I thought doing a complete reset and putting on a new OS might fix this but apparently not.
Right now I am out of ideas and am left thinking this is some internal hardware error, but can anyone else offer any suggestions or has this happened to anyone else?
Appreciate any responses,
James
You could try a custom kernel which allows you to override the charging current, but you may find the charging circuit inside the phone is damaged.
Easy solution if so is to get a desktop charger and second battery.

i had this same problem but simply replacing the cable solved it
i tried nokia cable and now it is fine ,
if that also dosent help than you can try googy max kernel or boeffella kernel and check for "ignore unstable power option"

Hi everyone, thanks for all your replies. However it was this one that fixed my issue. Since i already had the boeffla kernal on my phone i found the setting to 'ignore unstable power' and since having that checked i now charge at a constant 460mA via USB and 1098mA via mains. Thank you so much!!
Two questions. First, is the S21 fast charging a function of the charging brick AND charging cable or just the brick? In other words, would any cable be able to fast charge with a 25W brick or does the cable need to be compatible too?
Second, I'm seeing this message every time I plug the phone in to charge. I hit OK and the phone charges (very slowly) so I assume this is nothing to be concerned about per se. I've tried at least five charging cables and various power sources from bricks, PC, car USB ports, etc. and they all give this message. Granted, none of the cables or bricks are Samsung branded so I assume that is whats causing the message.

I’m using the t-mobile version of the s21.
I have not ever seen that screen. I am charging with a variety of chargers and cables (Some are usb type a to type c,some are type c to c.) I’ve used ravpower chargers (A 2-port model with my laptop and a smaller 30 watt model.j also lower output legacy type a usb sockets on power outlets. I put the original Samsun cable away in a drawer.
You need to use a fast charging compatible cable and brick. Otherwise fast charging will not will not engage.
I currently have 81% charge. When I plug it into a charger (brick or PC), it says 6 hours and 15 minutes to full. That can't be normal. I have fast charging enabled.

It isn't. Try calibrating the battery. Discharge to auto shutdown, charge overnight to 100%, repeat.
Allow to remain on charger for 2 hours after it's showing 100%
Try clearing system cache.
Try charging with phone powered down (fast charging should work even then)
Try a factory reset.
Use a known good OEM fast charger and cable.
If that doesn't get it, it's probably a hardware or firmware issue.
Note: fast charging will not engage if battery temperature is too low or high. Best charge start temp is around 85°F.
If battery temp goes above about 100°F fast charging will disengage and so will all charging shortly after if temperature continues to rise.
What would be a normal charging time till full if you're at 81%...roughly speaking.
