hello all
i have a very peculiar problem with my s3. I have been using official unbranded poland rom (I9300XXBLH1), flashed it over the rom that came stock on it, since i got the device without any problems. when 4.1.1 offical came out and it was for poland i went on sammobile, grabed the rom, flashed and at first all seemed fine until i tried to charge the phone.
first the phone didn't charge at all then it charged some but i noticed that red led does not shine as birght when the phone doesnt charge, it goes dim. the cable and charger are fine, tested with other combos and on other phones all works fine. the phone also charges fine when its turned off.
now the peculiar part... once i rooted, wiped everything from recovery and reverted back to poland 4.0.4 all charging issues disappear. wiping everything again then installing 4.1.1 reintroduces the charging problem, this was my first thought - bad flash, but it wasn't.
why does my s3 respond this way to jelly bean, have others had similar problems? any info apriciated
I got the same problem
I got this same problem in my S3. Now my S3 have a crazy behaves related charging and its begin to happen about the second day that I did update. And I did the official update that popped up in my screen.
So any one could help us to figure out what going on?
Thanks in advance!

in the meantime i tried super wipe script and numerous custom roms based on 4.1.1 and they all have the same charging issue. not that its surprising just thought its worth mentioning. i am really confused by this.

guys try few things
1. use only genuine usb cable / charger
2. use genuine usb cable + iphone wall charger - it may sound crazy but for me it made the difference.
3. use other cable
i was facing similar problem, it went off by charging with charger that i had at home from SGS1. i a mable to charge it again.
they are few topics around about bad quality USB pin on phone, or even battery, or low charger quality.
if nothing would work you have to contact the shop/carrier and claim repair/refund/exchange
and i think its not software issue... check

I have exactly the same problem with omega v27 jelly bean
I have installed lots it ICS roms but this never happened....i am sure its some software problem cuz everyone seems to get this after the jelly bean update.
And charing from 0% to 100 % took me around 8 hours
Anyone else facing this problem?

well, i have already stated in original post that i have tried different cable/charger combo and that every single cable and charger i tried works just fine on other phones i have around the house. heck, all of them work fine on s3 too when on ics but not if jelly bean is installed. so it aint the chargers, its the software in the phone.
also those threads were started some months ago, the issue here is different, charging problems did not come "out of the blue", they come and go with jelly bean installation, that's the weirdest part.
I think this is connected with Fast Dormancy.
First time when I flashed Omega 27 (Jelly Bean) I got same problem.
Than I turn off Fast Dormancy and this problem turned off too

this is what fast dormancy is and how to disable it, i have no idea how a network feature would be connected to a charging problem... i would understand if it was battery drain problem...
im going to flash 4.1.1 again, discharge the battery then charge it while the phone is off... see if that helps

I'm also having this problem. As an added twist, my phone is plugged into a Viewsonic GTablet at night. It worked fine under ICS, under JB it only charges around 70-75%. Better Battery Stats says "usb cb wake lock" and "usb device wake lock" were both active the entire time with 69.5% while the phone was charging. "secril_fd-interface" (FD) had 1.6%, so I don't think that is my issue. I will try again tonight with a normal charger and see if it makes a difference. I have the red charging light and other notifications disabled at night, my wife and I both have GSIII's and it looked like a disco the first night before we turned those off
Just thought I would throw that out there.
Temp solution for charging problem...
Hi all,
I too face the same problem. But it is not the fault with Cable or charger but with JB ROM Only. Someone in this post said that charging took 8 long hours from 0-100%. This is because your phone thinks that it is charging from a USB power source rather than AC power source. This can be verified from the battery screen in settings menu. This is a problem with JB kernel which needs to be addressed.
But as a workaround, just unplug the charger from the phone and again plug it back.T S3 will consider that it is charging now from a powersource (will be shown as AC in the Battery screen under setting menu). If it doesnt come the first time, try repeating for a couple more times (try unplugging from the charger end rather from the phone end)... this will resolve temporarily this charging issue, till the kernel permanent fix comes out....
Just came to share my agony..my cell has been on wall charger since 24 hrs and is still just 80%.
So as u guys said,I am staying optimist and waitin for some sort of kernel fix.
Any updates on this issue?
BTW I'm on Wanam 3.7 with siyah 1.6RC3
Need help to get my phone functional again
Today I plugged my s3 into HP envy17's USB(one that specifically says charging port)
Now it my cell is charging at rate of around ~14%/hr which previously charged at rate of around ~5%/hr only
Thought I should share,it's definitely something wrong with how JB manages the charging,possibly defective drivers...any fix any 1
Same here guys, samsung deseption u.u
ok i'm back with doing some experiments...
charging the battery to full while the phone is off then discharging it completely (doing a cycle, so to say) didn't really give any results, i even did this twice, purging batterystats from cwm also did nothing...
i just wanna clarify something... do all of you also experience the dimmed red charging light when screen is off? we should prob notify samsung through official bug report service or something...
get into recovery mode by CWM >advanced > reset battery stat > reboot
i think it ll work

I see that the phone is powered off, and plugged into a charger. Unfortunately that is a known bug of OMNI on this phone, and I am not aware of a solution beyond avoiding this condition. The phone will boot fine once you unplug the charger. leaving it plugged in may discharge the battery completely. The quickest way to charge this device on OMNI is to plug it in while booted into recovery.
What firmware are you running? what have you tried?

So you bought a battery. Was it new? Are you able to verify that is has sufficient charge? Have you tried an external charger? Have you tried to enter download mode? (to allow the pfone to be powered by the usb-port)
I ended up having to bring the phone back to the store to have them replace the battery. I read somewhere that the Galaxy S2 phones can only charge once the phone is on. However, the battery must have enough power to turn the phone on before it can charge, If you completely drain the battery, it won't start so you can't charge the phone. It is an endless cycle of stupid. I purchased an external charger on Ebay so I can avoid the situation entirely.

when i put the phone to charging, it have 10% of battery, but phone turned off and i get same problem as in the video.
I take the battery of my friend, he also have an i777, but don't have this problems with charging.
And another problem was that i left phone in stand by 7-8 hours with 70% of battery and when i check it in the morning it was dead.All apps was closed.
Hi,
my phone just got into that bootloop thing.
I did a factory reset but it didnt help.
sometimes the phone overcome the boot problem and doing the restart after going to the home screen.
now iv notice that the battery is acting weird, every time im charging the phone when it off its showing different percents. it can say 91% and after I turn on the phone it can say that there is not enough battery to turn the phone on.
before the bootloop thing happend I bought to my phone a super charger:
Tronsmart Quick Charge 3.0 USB
is there any connection between the bootloop, the charger and the battery? I don't have extra battery to check it but is there anybody that know about this problem?
thanks

Hello Edgers
As it says in the title, my GS6 edge is charging slowly after the last update.
It says fast charging, but it takes almost 3 hours to full.
Although it used to take 1 - 2 hours maximum to full.
-it's charging now - > reached 80% and it says 35m untill full -
35 minute at 80%!!! :crying::crying:
I tried another charger and it has the same problem. so either I have 2 broken chargers or the problem is in the phone.
Any ideas? or is it a common problem in charging after the update?

I tried blowing in it, but no result.
I also tried putting the phone into safe mode to make sure that it's not because of any app I installed but I also got no results.

I have the same issue, also not allways is detecting the Fast Charger.
As a workaround I let it charging slow for some seconds replug the cable and voila! Fast charging in the correct time...
It seems that is a common issue after Nougat update in a large number of devices prior to S8... (If you search in google you could see it)
The kernel is the culprit to choose the method of charge, and for whatever reason is not choosing/doing correctly...
Some people say that wiping the system cache from recovery helps (not my case)
I'm on stock, realme ui 4.0 and april security patch.
In recent months I've struggled to get fast charge right away when I plug in the charger, but I've given it a couple of tries and always succeeded. From yesterday it's not been possible to get any fast charge. No matter how many times I've tried and retried. Any advice from the forum?
Try cleaning the charging port i had the same issue and after cleaning it works well

It could be an issue with the charging brick too. Try some trouble shooting by using another Fast Charger to check if your device is fast charging. Also try using your current charging brick to charge another phone with Fast Charge capabilities. By doing this you can figure out if the issue is with the Phone or the Charging Brick.
