Trouble when charging - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i've been having for a while some trouble when charging my s3 mini. When i plug the cable, instead of charging it discharges easily, but if i dont use it for hours it doesnt charge completely but very little and it is annoying already. Also, i could get ir to a 100 percent yesterday after a few days and discharged really quickly.
Im currently using pac 4.2.2 i dont know if its useful info.
Hope you guys can help me. Sorry if my english isnt very clear im from argentina thanks.

hmm, maybe you have the 1000mhz bug. what does cpu-spy or similar app s saying?
or your battery is broken..... ever tried to go back to stock?

Even with the 1000mhz bug, the battery wont drain when charging even from the lower powered usb port

You could try and use another battery for a while and see what happens. If that diesn't help i think you should go back to stock and see what happens.
If these answers don't help, then i guess that your charging port is broken and you probably should unroot the device so you can use the waranty...

I went to a samsung centre and bought a new battery and a new charger and it is working fine right now thanks for your answers people .

Battery Life Problem (4-5 hours)

My phone was working fine and battery timing was 1.5 to 2 days but accediently i broke my phone's charger (when it was separate from phone). So
I charged my mobile from computer via original usb cable and my phone was heating up alot in these three days while charging, it did'nt happen before during charging. So I purchased a new charger and after 100% charging the battery got completely empty in 4-5 hours and this happens again and again. So I purchased original battery and it is also giving timing of 4-5 hours.
I reset my phone and nothing happend. Even I didn't install any application in my phone.
The OS version is 2.3.6.
Please tell me the solution if there is hardware or software problem.
Hmm... it seems it was your OS. Try flashing other ROM.
I don't think it is a soft problem, is a hardware one. Read the data from the original charger and try to found one exactly like it. (data=input/output/freq)

I have found the solution but it is temporary...... after full charge I put out the battery for 30 and then put in phone and it gave backup of 1.5 days but after discharge I charged it again and the problem again started...... So I again put out the battrey for 30 minutes and It again gave back up of 1.5 days........ I want to know is there any permanent solution of it..
Plz tell me what is the problem....
Maybe you should reflash your rom

X8 not charging. tried every method. charger, cable, none works

my phone just died .. JUST!
in the morning after the alarm belled, my phone can't be charge.
I used my cable or charger, none is working.
I think that it is my hardware problem ? ..
ANYONE HELP !!?!?
If the phone's on, reboot and try again. Or shut it down. Take the battery out. Leave it like that for 5 seconds. Try charging again.

Hello,
One probable reason is that battery totally lost energy..use a universal charger to charge the battery for at least 30 min..try re-inserting battery to phone then..and charge via x8 charger

may be its because your battery life has exhausted and you have to replace the battery
or
your micro usb port on the phone may be damaged
or
the phone may be charging but the led light is just not blinking,simply leave the charger connected to the phone and switch on the power just like you do to charge any phone and wait for half an hour or so. try rebooting your phone.is the phone charged now?
Just try and unbricked ur phone.I know it's a battery problem but just try unbricking it.Make sure to make a backup before doing anything else.

Battery drain while charging after new rom install

I recently installed the latest version of Paranoid Android running Jelly Bean 4.2. Since then I've not been able to charge from usb or car charger. Charging from the wall socket works but is SLOW.
I'm stumped as to what the problem is, Google and the paranoid android thread haven't helped so I really am at a loss.
Any help would be great. Thanks guys.

Have you tried make battery calibration ?
It's a known issue after flashing a new ROM.

The simplest way to do is power off you GN. Plug it into a power supply for recharge. When the level reaches to 100%, unplug and get out the battery. Wait for 5 minutes before put back the battery into the GN. Then restart it.
Otherwise get an appli like Battery Calibration, recharge the battery until 100%, the start the appli to calibrate it.

But that sounds like I calibrating the battery itself. I use multiple batteries with my GN. Would it have an effect or am I doing something within the phone itself? Because both batteries drain while charging.
Also if I should do this then should I keep the charger plugged into the GN while I've taken the battery out?

No,unplug the charger.
I also have 2 batteries. Often, but not always, after a new ROM flash, battery recharge takes long time when the GN is On.
In such case I have make calibration for all my batteries. For each new ROM, calibration once for each battery is sufficient.

No.

No, it wont cause any damage.Also, leaving it connected to the charger overnight will do nothing. You can't overcharge a smartphone battery, they are protected against it.

You can read this info too on the XSP's user manual pdf, sony stated about the battery there
Just make sure you use original plug

Battery won't be damaged by much while doing this. It would just be slower charging if you're using the normal 5W wall plug, or even see the battery draining while charging through connection with computer (via USB).
im gonna say yes
hmmmmmmmm

I had buggy touch bug but it was loooooong time ago. It was loking like that :
When have opened app drawer or any app it started running and i always end at homescreen when i was trying to do something on my phone while battery was charging.
But i cant remember how and when this problem was gone but i can said this :
One day touch was buggy and in second it was OK (not buggy)
If this problem will exist very long go to service. May your microusb port is touching LCD. And when you connect charger LCD feels power as a touch and starts bugging.

It exists in battery. I charged with a non-original charger (or it was a blackberry charger lol i don't remember exactly) and battery damaged. Then I switched another original battery and never used non-original charger, now it's okay. Changing voltages probably won't help, I recommend you to take a samsung charger and samsung 1500mAh battery then you can play with voltages too.
Thanks all at first.
But guys. A new batery here is R$130 ($60). I have already bought one new 2 months ago.
Cant a just make my batery get used to the original charger voltage?
Sent from my GT-I9070 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you buy it only for 2 months ago, then you still have warranty and must return to seller for change it.
Correct?
Powered by CM10.2
Indeed. So i tell them that my phone batery has got addicted to another voltage then the original samsung charger?
I will do that. But for those that doesnt have warranty and are running out of money, is tjere something they can do?
