Phone charging Extremely slowly... How to diagnose ? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

here's what happend
I have flashed Unofficial RR rom . It was charging regularly.
Then i flashed renice kernel.
Sometimes Phone was charging relatively slowly but then it fixes by itself .
Until recently it was occurring more and more.
NOW it charges verrrrry slowly 7 8 hours and not reaching 100%, still at 60%!!
So i decided to flash Ultimate kernel to see if anything happends..
no luck
Battery health is showing good
I think somehow the kernal changed the charging voltage (iS it possible though). or It may be that battery needs to be replaced..
How do i diagnose what the problem is ??
p.s. I have tried calibrating battery multiple times both by app and manually. Also tried multiple chargers and charging cable. Even tried to charge via pc.

Samsung SIII (I9300) Battery Issue.

Im using Cyanogen Mod 10.1 build Jan 23 on my phone. Till recently (2 days specifically) my battery has started acting up. When i connect it to the wall charger it charges super slow. Also if I'm browsing or using the phone for an email or anything during charge the charge on the battery still drops. I also charged the phone using a blackberry charger same issue happens. The battery takes 6-8 hours to charge completely.
This also happened to me the first time i charged my phone when i got it. But it fixed itself after that.
It behaves the same when i switch off the phone and charge it.
Plz Help.
Samsung Galaxy S3 [I9300]
CyanogenMod 10.1
Sounds like a bad battery imo. You didn't turn down the charging rate in a custom kernel by anychance?
CM10 nightlies are still under DEV so you can expect a battery drain until stable versions comes out !!
Im using Stock Kernel on the device. No changes made to it or battery charge rate. Should I buy a new battery? Or can it be a hardware issue?
Like being said before CM10.1 is still in dev.
Try flashing back to stock and test.
Welcome to the baffled S3 charging issues thread....

I'm pretty certain it's not a ROM or a kernel issue. The same is happening to me.
My suspicions lie in the actual charging port and/or the battery. I don't have a spare battery to test. But this happens no matter what rom I use. It tends to be fine after a fresh ROM install or a fresh wipe. But it goes back to 'acting up' after some time.
For example, I left it at around 4% last night only to wake up to it at around 33%. Where before, it would fully charge after around ~4 hours or even less.
Another symptom is that when on wifi/data (whilst plugged in) the phone still drains and even faster so when it is actually downloading something.. This isn't your typical battery drain.
NOT a rom/kernel issue as some would like to suggest (for a "quick thanks" maybe...? ) as this isn't your usual battery drain.

[Q] I9300 not charging, ROM related issue non hardware fault

Morning all.
I have an issue were my battery won't charge even though its plunged into stock charger stock USB cable (Samsung)
I have tried charge control app. But still same results with or without the app. Or trying different charging currents.
I have been trying to search why this is happening. But frustration is setting in thus my post.
Any bodies got any ideas or directions I could try to help find why the phn won't charge.
To try explain a bit more, if I unplug the USB cable and plug it back in - come back and check battery level a few minutes later if - if the battery level is not changed - unplug / plug back in........... Come back in a few check battery lvl if its increased leave the phn plugged in and the phn charges.
But like now for instance the phn was plugged in overnight battery lvl was still at 45% this morning. Unplugged / plugged back in.... charging.... 50% but since typing this post ..battery lvl is back to 45%.
Its most frustrating as its my business phn and it needs to be 100% in the morning...
Problem was not here with ICS.. But ever since Samsung update to jelly been I've had this problem for months.
Then decided to try tamasek ROM and kernel with optimized battery usage.. Still same issue.
Pls help..

Battery problem?

Hi all,
I've been having a wierd problem with my gs2 battery recently. It keeps on saying that it's charging however the battery is never increasing, it actually starts to decrease even though it says it is charging. It occasionally likes to turn on and off automatically. Recently, it has only charged when the battery is on 0%, I usually leave my phone charging overnight and when I can get the charger to work, I wake up and it says 100% but really, when I turn it on it says 85% or significantly lower. Sometimes, like now, it decides to work whilst it's on but this is not always the case, that is why I am not sure if it's a port problem. I have tried different chargers and some decide to charge the phone but continously turn on and off (on the off screen, battery charging picture appears and then reloads etc.), others don't work at all. I am not using a stock battery however my stock battery charges okay but is very weak (only last like 2-3hrs even when I'm not using it) and the current one lasts a long time once I nanage to get it to 100%. I have tried different online solutions such as taking the battery out for 10 secs, put phone on charge then put battey back in etc . and it hasn't worked. There have been times where the battery has crashed from 70%+ to 8% whilst it's off which seems wierd. I have attached some battery status images. Has anyone had this issue before? I would really appreciate any help or solutions you know that may work.
Replace battery first, if problem persists replace USB board/port (replacing battery should fix it though) - KeithRoss39 has a guide in General (search for 'Replace USB charger board') which will enable you to do it yourself quickly/easily/cheaply if replacing battery doesn't fix it.

[Q] Battery Wtf

So i just played with Custom ROMs to find the best for me...
But from one point my Phone f*cked up the battery detecting...
CM9 and CM9 detect the battery at 45% and then he Level instantly just drop to 0%...
I cant even restart my phone, so i guess the battery really went out...
So how can i fix, that the ROM would not detect it 45% but 3-4% ?
And let me fully chage my phone ?
Stock rom Always Detect it 100% and then randonly the phone shut down in random times (cuz it drops the level to 0%)
I've tried the "Fully-Charge, Fully-Discharge" But the ROM still detect the Battery wrong...
Even tried to delete the battery stats...
Any solution, or idea ?
I currently use CM with the built-in CM9 kernel...
I think its battery problem.use a new battery.ur prblm will be solved

How old is the battery? What charging cable are you using and what is the cable plugged into?
If the battery is more then a year old it could be 'tired' and not holding a charge correctly (trying another known good battery in your phone will determine this, as will trying your battery in another phone, and if it works well you may have more issues to deal with). If you got the phone second hand, you have no way of knowing the battery's history. Repeated overcharging is also not recommended, as well as leaving the battery in very hot places as it can damage the onboard circuitry in the battery.
Cheap aftermarket (non OEM) USB cables are not that great imo, they are generally not as well made and soon get loose connections, resulting in poor connectivity (charging with a bad cable can also damage the battery). Always use the original cable or a good quality aftermarket one, like Belkin.
Charging the phone from a USB port on a PC or laptop (and/or via a USB hub) is not as efficient as charging it directly from a wall mains USB adapter, because the power often gets interrupted. Ideally for the best charge you should turn the phone off and use a wall/mains socket USB lead, so as give a direct, constant, power supply to charge a battery. A typical full charge is done in two hours. If you charge this way and the battery still has issues buy a new one.

First of all, the Phone is manufactured in 11W41 (2011 Week #41) and the battery in 11W39 (2011 Week #39)
I use a tipical Micro USB charger which does not connect to the wall with USB but the cable directly integrated into the adapter...
And the phone's shipped official cable to charge throught my PC...
The battery worked fine before i forgot to delete battery stats and flashed a ROM...
After that, all ROM is getting fake battery data...
After using my phone i noticed:
-When the phone displays 70-80% charge, the battery actually have 10-15%
-When the battery reach 0% the phone not just jumps to 0% but the Phone shut down within a half second (as no more energy)
-When i charge it to 3-4% the phone show 80% again...
-So i can charge it to about 10 or max 15% when the OS detect 100% and does not charge it further more, which prevent me from properly re-calibrate the battery stats, cuz 10-15 will be always the max charge of the battery...
Now i'm looking for some kind of Mod / App that fake the Battery level to the OS (for example lock it to 5% and the OS continue to charge the battery) i know its dangerious cuz if i'm not aware i'll overcharge it and it will die permanently, but i have no better idea ATM...
Update: Sometimes after my phone dies from no remaining electron in the battery It displays 5% charge when i switch it on while connected to a charger (the only way i can switch it on) And starts to increase.. (5-6-7-8 etc..)
But sometimes it instantly jumps up to 70-80% if i think right when the screen switches of..
So i enabled "No-screen-off-whili-on-charger" and letit charging..
Will notice you about the result...

try reflash stock.ics ftf should fix this
Already tried, the Stock rom always showed 100% charge, and when the battery ran out, just powered off...
(Jumped from 100 to 0 instantly)
As i mentioned, in the reply you quoted, today it started charging from 0...
It went good, but somewhy, it just stopped at 26% and not a single volt went into the Battery...
As i Pulled out the Cable, the indicator jumped to 100 instantly...
Can you link several stock ROMs ?
I've tried with the 4.0.4 Android
but maybe the 2.3 can still work with it...

but i think theres some HW damage. even if not rhe battery maybe some config chip is broken or whatever on the board. normally flashing a stock.ics.ftf resloves all software issues, as its resets all stuff to factory..
anyway, here u can find links to other android versions: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Andro...y-Bean-ICS-Ice-Cream-Sandwich-and/td-p/154389

One solution still, that my frind has the same phone as me, so when i meet him, he can charge my battery to really full and maybe when i insert it to my phone it might work...

Battery Problem 97% fully charged!

Hi to all Vince users,
my fully charged of my phone is 97% only! why??? I would unplug my charger and charge again to reach 100%.
Any idea? pls help.
thanks a lot!
I think you should go to the warranty center to fix this, I just repair and get a new battery
Have you installed any custom Rom?, this question is because sometimes when installing custom Roms this situation is common to happen. In some cases flashing a STOCK ROM with MIFLASH tool solves that issue.
Have you idle battery drain too?
It was after flashing custom roms?
This thread can help:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5/help/wakelocks-aosp-roms-t3802422
i solve it with unplug then plug again cable battery connector
Yes bro. Im using AEX and Dotos before and now Im using MIUI 10.
Now Im Calibrating my Battery
Im doing that recently. 97percent charged
my phone is not faster to drain. my only problem is not reaching to 100 percent. it stops in 97. I think I need a battery calibration.. what do you think Guys?
As you used custom roms maybe the problem is the same although without battery drain.
Disconnect and reconnect battery will solve it but you have to take off back cover
I think bug oin miui 10.
It's not a bug in miui 10. I'm using it and it didn't happen for me since I opened back cover and unplug battery connector. I also did test point flash but others in the forum said it works with only physically disconnect battery without test point (back case opening required anyway)
Had this proplem too, not charge to 100% (in any rom, miui 10 included) but my problem was worst, the phone always shuts down at 20%. Did disconnect the battery 2 days ago, and the problem is solved now.
