Phone always thinks it's charging

Hey guys I'm from the galaxy S3 forums, my sister has a galaxy ace and the phone is always showing that it's charging, even when it's unplugged.
The battery icon in the status bar is showing the charging indicator, throws lock screen show it's charging and (the weird one) when the phone is switched off it shows the charging icon.
I did think it could be a problem with battery stats, but (as far as I know) the charging indicator when the phone is switched off its independent from battery stats (based on the hardware.)
So I turn to your community I'm thinking a reflash is needed, is this the same process as my S3 add PDA in Odin and flash?
Any help will be appreciated.

Hello Delsus, there is already answered thread about "always charging bug" in this forum. You should read this first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1944585
And I believe It's not a software problem.

Shutting down constantly

Hi everyone,
I'm having a Galaxy ExhibitG and it starts to shut down constantly everytime I open too many apps or run something too heavy. And it won't let me power on the phone and even if I can the bettery status went crazy (from 90% to 0% then 20%)
One solution to this is to plug my phone in the charger constantly, but I need to take it to work and school.
The problem actually started to happen after I flashed Linaro CM 10.1 romm by smartguy(for got the number)
Any idea why?
Thank you.

Sounds like you might have a bad battery

I an positive its your battery myself and plenty of others have had this exact problem. Amazon and eBay are your friend if you don't want to spend $40+

I need a positive answer before I do that.

One question is it possible to disable USB charging? As it may reduce battery life(may be I am wrong) when battery is already charged.

Repair it with Sony Update Service.

Updated 4 days back
Build no 10.1.1.A.1.253
Sent from my C6602 using xda app-developers app

Try a factory reset. But before that check if rebooting solves the problem. I had a display issue which was fixed by a reboot.

not telling you to update, "repair it"

Using different chargers is the cause.
Use the stock charger with stock cable.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium

I have the same issue, and I don't use the stick charger, I imagine the problematic chargers aren't correctly grounded or have some EMI or ESD issues. I haven't tried the stock charger yet to see if it solves it.
Poor move on Sony's part though not making the phone able to handle a poor quality power source correctly.

before i used to charge using the car charger. at my cousins place i used a htc charger for 4-5 days.
from later on im using the stock charger itself..
did i restart .. no use..
same issue... i selected show touch from development options..
im able to see the responses.. this occurs only sometimes , may be every 7/10.
just a single touch and the whole line gets multi touched.
for ex- i try to type "hie" , i get something like "ghjuioert" some times even bigger messages.
no difference even after a rebot.
should try factory reset. (long process backup download etc ).
any other options ?..

im using the stock charger...
tell me how to repair it...

With pc companion or sony update service.

Hi dude !
I remember to have this problem on my Xperia Neo.
While charging the touchscreen was unresponsive like touching on one side was like touching on the other side, apps opening randomly, lots of bugs. But didn't happened always, only sometimes.
I never figured out what could be and I don't use it anymore.
Maybe you have a faulty unit

Could that be a bad date?

Haha. Same with me. 13W13! I think sony didt pay their worker salary on week 13. So we got a bad phone.
Now im stuck with my old uncovered back and shattered screen xperia play that served me more than 2 years. R.I.P xperia Z
