I am currently using Faktory OS rom w/ naa-jb-06 kernel and it discharges while charging. I dont think its the wire or the usb that's causing this cause last time i was using a rom w/ stock kernel and it works. PLS HELP! :crying::crying::crying:
Are you using a different usb connector than the one that came with the phone? I have issues like that before just buy another cable, buy another cable if the one your using can only be used as charger and not for transferring files.

I am using a Galaxy S3 charger cause i lost the original one.
why don't you use the battery calibration app, maybe it is a problem of the ROM you are using
I also think it's cable problem.. The cable still can charge, but with low current.
With stock kernel, it still can charge because the battery drain of JB kernel+ROM is usually higher than stock kernel+ROM (of course, it depends on configurations, app installed, etc, etc).
So, try another charger & cable
Can you charge it when the phone is off? (Power off and connect)
Ive experianced same when my micro usb port was broken ,now ive fixed it and everything is fine(charging light turned on but still draining batt but when i replug the cable it could charge for couple of minutes...)

My motoroid xt720 is having problem with battery charging and usb connection with PC through the phone USB small port:
-2 days ago I restored to original EU rom through this port successfully. Before this point of time,battery charging and usb connection with PC through the phone USB small port was OK.
-then I can not charge the battery and or connect to the PC through the usb cable via phone small usb port. However, I can now still use the same usb cable and port to restoreoriginal EU rom for the phone and use the same charger to charge the battery with external charging pad (not through phone.)
I use another charger with small usb port to charge the battery through the XT720 phone but it still can not charge.
Installing the new customed rom CronosX, but the same problem happen.
So I guess that the USB port on the phone has hardware issues or software issues with the phone.
Can someone give me advice how to check or fix this error? Thanks!

Can anyone suggest why my battery is discharging while still connected to the charger when the phone is on?
I just put a brand new, original Samsung battery in my GT-N7000. With the phone switched off, I charged it for about 12 hours until it showed 100%.
I then switched the phone on without disconnecting it from the charger (USB hub on my PC) and noticed the charge percentage gradually going down - 98, 95, 94, 93 ... etc. If I don't use the phone but just leave it switched on, the rate of discharge is slower. It's now at 90%.
Is it supposed to behave like this or does this suggest a faulty battery? I assumed that the phone would behave similar to a laptop - ie the battery would continue charging even if I'm using it.
Thanks in advance

EDIT
I just replaced the original (old) battery which had about 6% left in it and this is behaving the same. It's now down to 5% with the phone on charge but switched on.
Try to plug directly to your charger instead of a USB hub, it's most likely under powered. I dont think its got to do with some apps running on the background.

You were right on the nail! A dedicated charger worked fine.
Seems my powered USB hub wasn't working for some reason. I checked the power supply and there's 5.1 VDC coming out of it so I plugged it back into the hub, changed the phone over to a different USB port and generally fooled around and now it seems fine again. Dirty connection maybe.
Many thanks.

Hey guys,

Output: 5V 1A

Unfortunately its not possible for me to charge my s3 mini with this external battery.
The cable and the battery is okay, tested that with other devices.
Anyone can solve this problem or has it too?
Thanks

Thanks for the quick answer but that doesnt work
also when the device is off and i turn on the external battery the device turns on and gets into a load mode or something (it doesnt even load at this Point, seems so that it just init the "turned off charging" dont know how i should call that )
same Thing when i restart the phone with external battery plugged on, there just happens nothing, normal boot process without any hint of charging^^
Ahh really? I had same issue and my method seemed to work are you trying with ur usb cable that came with the phone or the one that cane with the battery power. Try both out

What do you mean with "the one that cane with the battery power"?
Ive tried a lot of different usb cables they work all with the original charging-adapter but None with the external battery
tried it with the Amazon Basics usb cable, original Samsung data cable and the cable from the old Motorola xt 720 ^^
But thank you for the answer
strange.. when device is off can it charge or it doesnt charge at all with the samsung data cable. If it does charge while off, when its charging turn on the phone and it should charge as well.

Sadly that doesn´t work too. The device is doing absolutely nothing when i restart it from the turned off charging. Its like it wouldn´t know that theres a cable that wants to Charge it.

My external battery has also 5v.. and 1A should reach to Charge
Same problem here. No matter what external battery pack, this S3 mini is not detecting the battery pack as a charger. All of these packs work just fine with any other phone: tried with 2 SII, i8910, different Nokia phones, Blackberrry's etc.
I suspect that somewhere in the kernel there's no "3rd" unknown source or it has odd values, or it's somewhere else, but definitely soft problem as phone usb port works fine and recharges just fine from PC or laptop with any and every usb cable. Same goes for wall chargers. I haven't tried with car chargers just yet, but might do so. Just the phone is not mine, it's my wife's phone so I can't just take it with me.
Any suggestions?
Just a quicky: Is your phone trying or connecting to a PC in MTP mode?
XXAMA2 rom here and it always has only MTP or Picture mode, maybe this triggers something if on external power pack?
Edit: BTW, even when phone is turned off it won't charge the battery from the 3rd party external battery packs... weird.
Edit2: It started to charge out of 2.1A port on external pack after 5 minutes... then continued to charge once the phone is turned on. Later I unplugged it and plugged in again and it won't charge if the phone is on. Oh well, at least it can charge if first turned off. At least that when on the road and without wall plug...
Even more strange is what I'm getting now when plugging to Duracel external pack - phone starts the music player on it's own and starts to play... I think it's defo something related to MTP or such...
Strange. My power bank works just fine. The charging indicator shows when I plug my S3Mini with my power bank. (Cheap chinese brand. 5200mAh, 1.0 A)
Usually when the USB indicator showed up when you plug your external power source, the cable is the one with 4 lines (two for transferring data, and the other two for receiving electricity needed for charging, or +/- ).
Try using the USB cable with two lines only (electricity lines only, without data transferring lines)

Well, after trying all USb cables I have in my house I found one that is CHARGING IT!!! I dunno what wires it has or not and I don't care ATM. Point is there's nothing (EDIT) wrong with battery packs nor the phone. It all still indicates damn MTP kicking in where it shouldn't IMO. Dang Samsung for screwing it all up yet another time.
Still, I'm happy it CAN work all right, so no more depleted battery when on the road / trip
Thanks for a great suggestion there!

Yes. The only way to figure it out is to peel it off, which is not a sensible thing to do anyway.

Same trouble here
So i'm having the same trouble with my powerbank, tested with 3 different S3 minis, and all have the same result, also tested my powerbank and cables with another 2 different cellphones (Sony and LG) and worked fine...
Also tried using stock ROM, same result...
When i try to charge with the phone on doesn't work, but if i turn the phone off it works, i made a video showing:

I'm running maclaw's CyanogenMod 11.0 20140610, there is any LOG to see what happens? where can i access it?
My Captivate won't charge. The indicator in the notification bar says that it's charging, when I go Settings>About phone>Status>Battery status says it's charging, but it loses power down to zero. I bought an external battery charger and that's the only way I can use my phone now. I bricked it a while back and unbricked and rooted it with Heimdal One-click. No change to ROM or Kernel just loaded some 3rd party software. I've tried taking out the battery and holding the power button for 10 seconds or longer to no avail. I'm a novice with all this and found the solution to my bricked situation by wading through post on here. I spent a lot of time looking for a solution to the charging issue but found nothing that worked. Really frustrated. Please give some guidance on what else I could try.

First thing to check is the battery. Have you tried with a different battery?

Check with Betterbatterystats if you have a wakelock running, or flash another rom. I had good battery with CM 10.1, the roms based on it were spending more battery for no reason.
I actually have three different batteries that I'm switching between with my external charger: one old, and two fairly new. I found that the stock usb cable is garbage. I'm using one that i bought fairly recently. I'll try using an even newer cable.

Make sure the cable you are using has all pins connected.
I've seen micro USB cables with only data pins connected, but no power pins.
Hi there,
My phone is not charging very well, I knew I had battery issues so I recently purchased a new battery.
I have been using CM 10.2 nightlies.
The troubleshooting done so far:
Wipe data/factory reset
Install stable CM 10.1.3
Cleaned usb port
Changed from MTP to usb mass storage
New battery
Nexus 4 cable and charger
Note 2 cable and charger
SGS4 charge cable on PC usb
My phone is pluged and it discharges instead of charging, NO SERVICES OR PROGRAMS RUNNING
Screen off... it discharges to 1% faster
Should I run stock rom on this big ass boy?
Should I get a new USB port (I thinks this is it)?
Should I try a different kernel?
Or should I run a different radio?
Thanks in advance

How does it work while the Note is turned off ?
Does your Note recongnize if it is charging from USB or AC wall charger (must be on of course) ?
Your new battery is Samsung or OEM battery?

Had the same problem and the problem was due to damaged USB port. Change the USB port. Look up some tutorials and buy it from ebay or else where and do it yourselves. Its easy as pie. :good:

Galaxy Note 2 discharging if used while plugged in
My note 2 is charging very slowly while on (10% per hour), charges about the same pace when plugged in. Only just started happening recently, I suspect from the newest android update. on AC it used to charge while on in 4-6 hrs, depending on whether or not i was using it while plugged in. Did the cleaning battery / reset / clear cache etc and calibrated the device with Battery+ app. Phone still discharges at normal pace when not plugged in but 10 hours is a really effin long time for it to recharge, no?
I used to be able to use it heavily while plugged in and it would just stay level, and still charge on light usage. For it to lose charge while plugged in seems wrong.
