When I plug my S3 into the charger of a night time and let it do its thing, part way through the night after it has fully charged the S3 comes off charge and then lights the room up a few seconds later when it goes back on to charge (and will repeat this several times throughout the night). I have used the same charger on my S2 and it works fine, just seems to be my S3. I have done a factory reset (as told by samsung) still not changed the issue. The only thing that I could think that may be causing the issue (it only seems to be a recent problem) is that I am using the supplied charger, but with an extension on the usb plug. Could that be the problem why it will not remain on charge for the duration of the night??? Please help my missus is threatening to throw it out the window because it wakes her up
Happened to me too all the time when I was on stock rom. Waked me up several times at night.
When I flashed cyanogenmod the problem was gone.

probably should have clarified that. I am using the stock rom too atm. I was trying to find a solution to this without having to modify the system (custom roms etc) but thankyou for your suggestion...
Mine does it too if I use a non Samsung charger.
Try to change the cable.

I wondered if it may have been the charger, as I was still using my charger from my nexus S which charges the GS2 just fine. It started having issues so I replaced it with my GS3 charger (with a USB extension - powerpoint a long way from where I need it to be). Have taken the extension away tonight. Will see what happens now. Could using a different micro USB lead (ie not the one supplied with the GS3) cause this issue anyone???
Thanks to all those ppl thus far for your help, appreciated....
In my experience, I'm using the bettery power bank to charge my phone and have to use the normal micro usb cable to charge it instead of using the original cable.
It depends on what power source I'm using it as well. The original cable works fine with the AC chargers but not with the power bank bettery pack. It used to work well with battery pack though.

Pocketlint can build inside of the microusb connector.
Use a thin toothpick to clean out the lint.
Thanks for all the replies guys, I am thinking that I may have solved the problem (didn't see the room light up like a xmas tree last night!) Will persist for a few more days, but I have removed the USB extension cable from the equation. Hopefully that solves the problem. If anyone has had a similar experience could you please let me know.
Thanks all for your suggestions....
Nope, didn't fix. Lit up several times last night and this morning. Charging port not dirty etc. could it be mother board related?

I have a feeling it is Samsung rom related. It doesn't happen for me with any AOSP rom.

No idea if SDS is a problem with this model .
But just a note that overnight charging then phone is dead multiple reports was the first we knew about the sudden death syndrome .

Mine wouldn't wake up after overnight charge a couple of times while on stock rom. Had to pull battery.

So an update. I sent my phone in to Samsung to repair and apparently the main board was faulty, it was replaced and sent back. Charged it last night and low and behold it still lights up the room. Anyone with a stock ROM experienced this?
Sent from my GT-I9305T using xda app-developers app
I have the exact same problem. Tried it with stock and wiped/factory reset, installed various other roms still have the same issue. Havent tried AOSP/Cyanogenmod though.
Yes. I wiped and did the same on advice from Samsung did nothing except wipe all my settings. Spoke with Samsung HO yesterday and asked if it was some strange new feature, was told definitely not and that I should have it looked at again. So back to the repair centre I go. Will keep you posted. Thanks for all input thus far

It seems to me...
It seems to me that the charging problem only happens when there are notifications waiting. As long as there are no notifications waiting, the red LED is on and the phone charges just fine. When a notification comes in and the blue LED starts flashing, charging stops or slows to a crawl or starts discharging. The longer this condition continues, the hotter the phone gets. After clearing the notifications, the red LED comes back on and the phone starts charging normally.
This seems to happen with Samsung chargers and off brand chargers.
Again, I don't know if this really happening. It just seems to all coincide.
my charging problem is (somehow) solved...
I have my battery charging problem solved this way:
On Stock ROM I wasn´t able to charge at a descent rate (10h+). Neither made a difference if the system was turned on or off.
For my solution you will need a kindle MicroUSB charger with 5.0V 0.85A output - or simmilar (?!) This perfoms best with my setting. No other MicroUSB-charger worked for me!
I then did the following:
1. Installed ClockworkMod 6.0.3.2 touch
2. installed CyanogenMod_10.1_2013_05_07 plus an additional openpdroid framework patch.
3. installed GAPPS 20130301
4. Siyah Kernel v1.9.1
5. installed STweaks (from Playstore) - this one is important
6. open STweaks and go to MISC / AC CHARGE and changed it to 1200mA
7. from now on use a KINDLE charger to charge my S3
Now my S3 charges perfectly when turned on. If I turn it off the system still loads the battery VERY slow. So I guess It might have to do with something in the kernel / bootloader.
Hope this helps others.
Does anyone have found out how to speed up charging time when the system is off?

Having the same problem with my Samsung tab!
Hi rock2702,
How were you able to solve your Galaxy Tab charging problem?
maybe he deleted the batterystats or installed betterbatterystats
Or (re)installed a custom ROM.
What was your solution if you don't mind?
well, this is how i solved it...
if it's rooted...
use battery calibrator....
or keep tab switched off for 4 hours or so...and then connect it to charger while switched off
if this also doesn't help then after connecting to charger while it's still off you can see a battery icon charging...simultaneously press switch on button and touch the screen ....if on aokp rom your tab will instantly reboot as i've noticed....if on stock rom which i was on when this thing happened to me....your tab will show a black screen and then again the battery charging icon shoots up....
One of the above things worked for me....i was enjoying my vacations when i encountered this problem and so i cannot remember exactly which of these things worked....
Hit thanks if i've helped..
Battery Not Charging
Well i don't know much about this, but it happen also on my SGT7 P1000 tab. What was notice is, if Usage (mA) value is below zero/negative value during charger plug-in. the battery won't charge. What i do is to turn off the screen an leave the tab on that mode, then battery charging start to increase.
Any one can give explaination on this situation?

The battery in our phone is faulty...this is whats i heard...
But this problem is due to faulty battery stats..
If this problem never happened again then you are quite lucky
I had noticed that the battery increases but after an increase of 20% it again stops.....
But the solutions I gave worked fully without any probs...

my same issue....
is caused by not using original samsung wall charger...when i use a different brand charger, none of my tabs charge unless i turn them off. i purchased extra one from samsung just in case my original breaks or gets lost. Cable is hard to find made by anyone besides samsung (RETAIL). In fact, most samsung accessories are easier to find online than in stores....I think rooting and using different roms affects the way tab reacts to the charger. thats my 2 cents.

Yes, we must use the original charger but the problem stated above clearly shows that it's due to faulty battery stats......
If you have noticed this......charge the battery to full 100% and then notice the battery stats it spontaneously drops down to 99% in a sec....that's due to our battery stats I guess..
Again keep battery on overnight charging...sometimes this happens...
The battery drops down from 99 to 1 % and then you have to restart phone and battery stats are back to 99...that's a battery stats prob

For some time to time since CM9 (1 time each month maybe) my tablet does not charge anymore with any chagrer, I tried restock, tried a lot of thing but the only thing that seems to work is charge it on usb of a computer (low speed charge) up to full charge (a night) which is in my case 99%.
Most of time it fixes the problem untill it happen again, but enerally It's ok for weeks.
I've got two GT7 and only one seems to have this problem with the same rom on it, so I think it is device related.
Hope this help
The charging problem is here the same...
With screen off i could load battery over night yesterday to 100%... plug th charger of and battery drops down to 46%.
Will try the usb loading with pc at work now
As of a few days ago i can no longer use the device while on the charger without losing charge....fast! (ive used the device while charging for the past 9mo).
Same on any kernel, any rom....any of the 3 Samsung batteries I have.
Any ideas?
Is the phone warming up or getting uncomfortably hot? The only thing i could think of is the battery has reched the end of its useful life..
===EDIT===
I was not able to read the last part that you said you tried 3 diff batteries.. LOL my bad..
Mostly it happens when you use incompatible charges (Not the original ones) which doesn't charge battery to its full voltage.
Replace it and check if its solved. If not you can calibrate battery or replace the battery.
Check battery status under settings and see if you have a file running "gpsd". A few times this bug would hit my phone using 63% and drain my battery while charging.
I would have it charge all night to disconnect in the morning and get a warning my battery us low.
To fix I would place my phone in airplane mode, turn off and turn back on, remove airplane mode and it would be back to normal.
Check to see if you have the bug.

Try to install betterbatterystats and check for any wakelocks on your phone. Wakelocks are dreaded battery juice killers. And I agree, turn off your phone at night and in the morning, check back on the BBS what process is working at the background (of your phone).

This problem is occurred to me also. all my devices are original.
this problem was found only when I used stock rom ics 4.0.4, but not found with custom rom as paranoid, cm9, cm10 etc.
try to flash custom rom, you will solve the problem.
Mine has allways done this, whether stock or custom rom. With orginall charger too. I put it down in my case due to being on skype. It also gets vvhot. This is with the original bat.also a samsung spare.

OK I had this problem before, and I solved it by changing charger and clean rom install, I think it is a mix of hardware and software issue, hardware as it is linked with no. Of pin in the charger, I think when the phone discharge while charging the phone see the cable as USB otg so it give it power, any way, change the charger and install any from with trying different kernels

have you tried with different charger?
I wonder why try another charger?
I've had the same problem a year ago. I was able to fix the problem by pushing in the pins inside the charging port. However this only buys time. I was able to fix the problem completely by purchasing charging port from eBay with the same revision 1.0 ( in my case ). I was able to install the part in less than 10 minutes and the problem is solved
Had the same problem few days back I just inserted a small pin inside the charging port and bent the pin inside the charging port very little don't know will it help but worked for me just be careful don't apply too much pressure as it may damage the pin

Jesus i want to cry when Note users have this problem!. Its an USB port problem, not chargers, not software. You need to replace the whole USB Board (which is attached at the bottom of the motherboard). If you want a temporal solution turn off your phone, remove your battery and then clean your usb port with a thin brush and alcohol and leave it for 30 min. Then put your battery and charge your phone. Turn on and then unplug your cable, it should work fine for some time. Its a problem with the 75% of the Galaxy Notes in the world. Ive changed my port 2 times in only one year! I dont know why samsung did not put a slinding usb protector like some galaxy devices... sorry my bad english and good luck!
when I changed my usb port, I bought 2 in case. 2 usb ports cost me 18 dollars and change, shipped from China. took 2 weeks to arrive. must match the revision number which is written on the original board. mine was revision 1.0. took less than 10 minutes to install. problem solved.
maybe temporary but free

cured my phone of the same problem with a paint brush and proper contact cleaner ( NOT WD40 OR LIKE) in the usb charger hole.
stuff known technically as pocket fegg gets in and causes leakage across contacts. however, worst case is connector is damaged and needs replacing as above.
Get the port replaced.
I had a similar issue.
<drunkbabble>
My microusb car charger is constantly used by the many female microusb ports from my friends and hitchhikers.
So it had a loose contact with my phone now because the Galaxy Y 's were too tight.
And the it charges / not charges / charges ... at about 150 times a minute.
</drunkbabble>
In your case your port might have suffered or you have dirt at the contacts. Try blowing it out with canned air and look for any visual clues of damage.
Got this problem right now and its really annoying.
I nearly wanted to throw my phone at the wall because of the dumb low battery noise playing like 20000 times a second .
My Desire HD and crapberry also decided to break today too ffs .
Gonna send them off to get repaired in the morning, back to my good old reliable nokia 3310 in the mean time
i am having this issue for over a month now. i changed the battery too lately. was on CM 10.1 and thought it was a ROM issue but then i found it to be the same as i switched to stock ROM.
And it would be real helpful if anyone of you guys could let me know how much changing the usb port cost me.
Clean It With A Little Whisky :]
cotton, dip it in a little whisky and then clean the usb port with a help of a needle/pin... worked for me :]
*make sure your phone is turned off and the battery is out while you do this application*
try and clean your charger as well.. Cheers!
Charging port issue!
I had exactly the same issue on my Galaxy Note-1. and stumbled across this thread. It confirmed the suspicions I already had. So I got my charging port changed. The phone is back to normal!
Hi,
I have scoured through the forums and googled for many days, I was not able to find the definite answer to solve my problem. The problem appears to be that the battery doesn't charge up, however, many signs show otherwise, I would like to ask if anyone here knows which part of the phone actually does the battery voltage sensing.
Firstly, I have tried charging my phone while it is switched off, several hours of charging only yields 10+% of charge. Secondly, I tried changing the battery of the phone, makes no difference. All these was done with different USB chargers and different charging cables. Then, I tried rooting and unlocking it and flashing cyanogenmod, problem still exists. Lastly, I tried flashing the same firmware version once and then a different firmware, still does not solve the problem.
Some things that led me to believe that it might be the fault of the battery voltage sensing circuit component of the phone are that when the phone is in recovery mode, I can unplug the charging cable and the phone does not power down. However, when the phone boots normally into android, the battery indicator would appear as 0% and unplugging the cable would shut down the phone.
BTW, my phone's warranty is already up. Is there anyone that has the same problem or some solutions to this problem? Thank you in advance.
JM
What about calibrating your battery? Try using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583320

I dont think calibration is the problem since he fleshed CM and other roms and atill have battery problem.I think you should try to remove batery from device and charge it on separate charger.If that doesnt help you will need new battery.

Hi,
I have already bought a new battery but it still doesn't charge up. Would it be due to other hardware failures?
Well that is unfortunate but it appears so. except if you didn't do full system wipe before flashing other roms.Did you?

Have you tryed cleaning the charging port out mine was full of dirt and had same problem.

I turned the phone off took battery out and then used a needle and managed to get fluff and dirt out of the port which I didn't see until I shined a torch in. But you have to be carful not to damage anything. I also had a problem with my phone only charging to 92% that ended up been cause it wasnt a geniune lead. cheers and good luck
Hey guys anyone experiencing problems with fast charging not working, tried using the moto fast charge cable and charger and still nothing. Seems. Like after the Roger update it only works like 20 percent of the time
I have the same problem after I updated my note 5. I'm just waiting for Google to push another update to fix their f*#$ up.
Yes, works most of the time (90% of the time). Using all equipment that came with phone. Fast charging hasn't worked probably 4 times over the past month. Will unplug/plug back in a few times then magically starts working.
no issues on Rogers here
So I went to the AT&T place to see what the problem was. The guy there switched the wall adapter that went with my charger to a newer one of the same model, and my fast charging capabilities came back. The fix was simple. The problem was in my Travel Adapter.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using XDA Free mobile app
I do not know if that will help you but to be sure if fast charging is working or not, you need to plug it in and turn it off. Then, you should have 3 green LED lights flashing. If only one is flashing, then it is normal charge. If 3 are flashing, then this is the fast charging.
