Well, if you haven't void your warranty send it back, take the money back and buy another phone, Elephone s8 software is pretty bad, I changed it with a Xiaomi mi A2 and it's way better because of optimization, updates and Android one. (Sorry for my bad English)

After months of use I had this issue too. I had it fixed by a local phone repairer, it was the phone's usb-c port that broke.

Yes I'm using the same charger. I even tried using my nexus 7 charger has well but still chargers very slowly. My original battery had a problem and could only charge to 78%. That old battery usually takes about 2hrs from 0%-78%

Thanks for the reply, I changed chargers but it did not seem to help me... I thought I was a problem because I was rooted. So I unrooted and this problem still persists... It is also inconvenient for me to change the charger because it was bought from overseas.

I solved half my problem... I found out that the problem was with my cable. Its not a Sammy cable but a Sony one. My Sammy cable had the same problem and could not charge. Therefore half of the problem is the cable... But it still takes about 10hrs to charge...
I found out that even my car charger does not work...

[Q] Battery problem... quite bad.

I have a Galaxy S3 that I bought 2 years ago in the Samsung Store. Unlocked, of course. I have never rooted it, or done anything like that to the phone. I have been always careful with it.
But I have been having this battery problem for almost 1 year and I'm very tired...
Everytime I try to charge my phone it just odesn't charge, it discharges or charges veeeeeeery sloooowly. No matter if I do it with the phone on or off. When it charges normally I get so happy I could die
Things I have tried:
-getting a new battery
-getting a new USB cable and adapter.
-checking the charging port (sorry I'm not an english speaker so I dunno how to say that)
-erasing all data and leaving my phone as if it was new
-EVERYTHING
What I'm doing to use it:
I bought a universal battery charger. I got 2 batteries. I charge one, put it on my phone while I charge the other. Each battery charges in 8 hours or so, sometimes 9. Yes, I'm suffering. Please, help me. I have no money to get a new phone, plus, I'm underage. I'm a girl.
PLEASE HELP ME!

Try to calibrate your bettery, you said you bought a new battery, charge it till 100% and then download a battery calibration app from play store, calibrate the battery and see how it goes.I also have this problem, fast discharge but I calibrated the battery this morning and I can see the things go to better

What does that mean :silly:
Anyhoo, borrow someone else's charger + usb cable and see. If it doesn't work for you (but obviously works for other person) then you're probably looking at a faulty charging port (yes you said it right lol) or a malfunctioning power IC. I'd bet on the port tthough.
It's stupid, to wait 1 year until guarantee is gone. I suppose an internal hardware-defect.

Galaxy S II not charging

hello so I have enjoying my phone for about 2 years.:laugh::laugh::laugh: but I had this problem recently. When I try to charge my phone when its about 30% below, It doesn't charge. When I plug my phone, the battery says the phone is charging but the percentage doesn't count, I mean battery percentage still reduces even tho it is charging. When it drains, it shows a battery with a yellow triangle and wont open again.
Any help? Anything I can do about this??

Try a new/different battery. It sounds like yours is about to die
oh sorry, I forgot to mention that, I have bought a new battery. An Original one. I think I bought it about 3 weeks ago
If you bought your 'original' battery from eBay, the chances are that it's the exact opposite of original......
That aside, I'm thinking that it *could possibly* be the USB port on the device.....
If as you say, your device is over 2 years old, you've done well for the port to last that long......

I have bought a usb board on ebay too, about month ago because the port's solder is messed up and I got no clue fixing it. It works for about a month properly. But I just had this problem.
I saw some articles outside XDA, that I should remove the battery, wait 10 secs, then plug charger and immediately insert the battery and turn it on.
My phone finally works, and it charges properly. But I have to do it a lot of times just my phone to charge hahahah!
Thanks mate :--)
Lol...well done fella. ...I didn't do a lot though....it was you that found the fix.....
This issue will more than likely happen again, but at least you now know how to sort it.....

Never charge a phone with a laptop, it uses a process called trickle charging which can cause damage to your battery!

Did you use a magnetic charger before?
i just recently had same issue as you are having yesterday my phone stopped charging at 71% and i noticed i didnt have this issue on .575 build and then i downgraded to .575 from .291. In my case it solved the problem but i also changed my charging cable.If you are on .291 downgrade and check if it solves the issue
I got this problem couple days ago too

Thx for tip.
btw. I dont use magnetic charger, tried all combinations with cables/chargers/calibrations/hard wipes. Battery is now charging to 64%, but when playing in games, etc. its discharging long time, like it was going down from 100%....

I have the same issue with my phone, it charges to only 83-90%, so strange!
I think our issue has something to do with the new soft charging
I had same problem + headphones broblem, I reinstalled the smartconnect and it gone
Okey guys, new thread update:
I have got new Xperia Z2, previous had some hardware touch screen problems.. and what? Same problem on new device. This problem occurs while upgrading android from 4.4 to 6.0.1 by installing updates one by one without any pause/reboot. Firstly it was around 80% max, last time 68%.. now I have solution. (Because of post above this one, I have uninstalled Smart Connect for tests). I have discharged battery to 0% and plugged in wall charger. It started to on/off/on/off after some time and I turned on screen to see % of charging.. it was 68%. I though I can keep screen up for sometime and check if it will pass 68% (because with turned on screen it drains enegry so it can't charge to "max").. and this passed... I dont know why its working, but it is. Started to blink again at 73%, 80%, 86%, 90% for sometime and now its 95%.... Just need to have turned on screen so it can't charge to its "max" After it reach 1% above limit, then turn off screen. Its definitely software bug. I still dont know how it will behave after discharging again.. Will post update. (btw. its cold like ice. xD)

I tried Motorola X Play charger and Blackberry one and they works without any problem but with the original charger and the M5 one got the on/off problem.
I've contacted Sony and send them a logcat and they said that I should send it them but I didn't, because I don't have second phone
I am having this problem recently too. My battery often charge at a very low current ( 10mA ~ 700mA ) and today it even discharge itself when plugged in!! I tried both USB charger and magnetic charging cable but still it turns out the same. I have criticized this problem on SuperSU v2.78 SR1, Google Play Service v9.8.75 and restoring them to the previous versions but still nothing changed. What I did later is I wiped all partitions ( except external_sd ) and installed AOSPA ( previously I was on eXistenZ v5.6.5 ) and after it boots it finally return a 1A current to me. However, this only happens occasionally which it will possibly corrupted like a couple of days ago. Still need to figure out what the he** is wrong with this thing. Frankly speaking, I nearly wanted to rush out to the 24/7 service centre in Hong Kong at 2am lol.

lol this happened to me too about 3 days ago.
I used the phone as always do and wanted to charge it normally with a usb cable but then i got this
CHARGING
on off on off on off
the off took 1-5 seconds and the charging led, tone and animation only appeared for a second and then went off.
it wasnt the charger, nor the cable. it was the micro usb port, no idea why because I didn`t drop it etc
a micro usb port replacement part costs only 15 bucks but unfortunately I don`t have the equipment and knowledge for repairing electrinical parts
so I had to fu**ing replace the whole motherboard which is very expensive even if you do it yourself!!! now it works ut I will never repair my z2 again. I bought it for 400$ and since buying it I spent 300$ on repairing it. if you wouldn`t have done that myself I would had spent 700$ usd for repairing it at our local phone shop.
Just cleared Smart connect app data and charged it with the default charger (14% to 100%) it charged without any problem

Yes, I think so, too... I have this issue but it happens over night and the led charge indicator blinks... I've disabled "Battery Care", that is included in some .291 roms
