First of all, i'm sorry if any other thread are already open. I've searched but didn't find nothig...
So, what about my problem is
Started from nowhere 2 nights ago... My battery can't reach 100%. wednesday night, stoped at 87% but still show charging. Last night, stoped at 93% and the same..still charging And all of that, happend after almost 9hours of charging. So i m sure it's not related about charging time.
If yours answers does need for a few more details, i'm completly stock, 4.3 version
And another detail about i think it's not a simple coincidence, that issue described above, starded after a looooong conversation on facebook. Phone was veeerry hot and problems started :victory:
Any sugestion will be appreciated :good:
P.S out of warranty
One thing i learned about Samsung:
* The wall adapters suck.
* The cables suck.
My experiences the same, and a 3amp HP Touchpad charger sends it to 100%.
Now, my advice, in this particular order:
* Clean the usb port on the smartphone (needle, carefully!)
* Replace USB cable
* Replace USB cable AND wall adapter.
Thx. Today i'm going to buy another usb cable and charger.

Hey guys,
I connected my phone to my PC over night for charging as always but when I got up and took my phone it only had 4% battery! It's like the battery just wiped itself from a moment to the other. And now when I try to charge it again the light shows it charges but when I turn on my phone after 30min the battery didn't charge at all... Did anyone experience this before? Do I have to buy a new battery?
Sounds like your battery is shot. So you may need a different battery.
Try different cables etc but if that doesn't work you need a New battery.

Tried a few cables. Weird thing though: In recovery it says 32% and when I boot it up now it says 9% but doesn't really change. Seems like the battery is screwed up... Could it be that the Desire HD has got the exact same battery? Because if it's so I could try with the battery from my dad's DHD...
EDIT: Ok, it's not the same This is gonna be expensive...
EDIT2: So I got my new battery but the phone still drains too fast imo and I can't really charge the battery to 100%... Is sth wrong with the USB-port??

This might help.
Let your battery drain completely and let your cell get switched off.
And then in switched off state, charge your phone completely.
Switch it on...Use your cell as you do it regularly.
Repeat this procedure 3-4 times.
You will be surely benefitted.
did you try plugging into the wall? different USB port?
I had similar issue awhile back that it didn't want to charge with USB but with the AC adapter it worked fine. Also noticed it wouldn't work with USB at all I sent it in for repair and it was apparently USB port broken. Then I had to send it in again because when they fixed usb they broke mainboard
p.s omg I hate captcha tried posting this 10 times ...
Looks like I forgot to post So here is what happened: I got a new battery but even that I couldn't charge with USB. Than I pulled out my AC adapter and it works fine now. Looks like my USB Port is shot but since it still works and just won't charge my phone, I'll ignore that. But my old battery was surely shot because I couldn't even charge it with AC adapter...
Sorry if this seems a little late. It could be the roms fault you are getting strange readings. When I use ice cold and reboot my phone, the battery percentage reading changes like crazy. Sometimes the reboot makes the reading go up, and sometimes down.
USB port breaking is a common fault on inc s, though, so it could be that also, as you have said.
I tried ar least 5 different ROMs so I'm pretty sure that's not it That was also the first thing that came into my mind;D
Have u checked the charger plug cos if its that stupid black charger that comes with the phone they can play up my old one does this and I have to twist it slightly for the pins to touch try a apple charger or another USB charger

Hello guys!
You have been helpful to me once, i was hoping that you will be able to help me again.
On friday morning my Xperia Z battery went flat, my phone turned off and all that stuff. You can imagine my surprize when i plugged the phone to my wall charger and nothing happened. It's like this still although the phone was plugged to the charger these past two days. Has anyone else encountered this, and managed to solve it?
Thanks in advance
S.
P.S. Yes, i did google, found even two or three topics on the matter, but no dependable answer. :|

It was happened for me same day same time. It is really annoying and I can't even restore my device to factory original set. I spend all yesterday night to find all possible solutions. Yes I tried (hard reset), (charged on USB duck and PC for 24 hours).
There may be some problem with your charger. My X10Mini did not charge with normal charger suddenly, so I changed charger and works well. I think you should try another charger or dock.

Yea, tried that, three different chargers, sony, samsung and iphone ones. Nothing helped. :|
Hi, I have tried searching the forums for this however have not found anything specific to my case.
My phone's battery died about a month ago and I left it on charge overnight to find that it hadn't charged at all. I charged it for a further 2 hours on a different socket with still no luck, so then charged it by USB on a PC for another 2-3 hours until it powered on.
This problem has luckily not occurred again, however ever since this, every USB wall charger I have previously used to charge the phone (Samsung charger and other various ones) do not charge the phone. The only wall charger that works is an iphone one. I think I broke the OEM charger so am not exactly sure where the fault lies in that, charger or phone. It is definately not a fault with the cable(s) that I am using.
So my question is this, could this be a potentially battery/phone degrading problem, and is this reason enough to send the phone off for warranty, or will they turn round and say "well you should be using the OEM charger anyway". Just seems wrong that they used to work, now they don't.
Thanks for your help, really appreciate it,
Wayne.
*** EDIT: I have also flashed a stock vodafone .FTF and updated to lastest firmware with no change ***
Anyone have any idea?
I think you have to try to charge your phone with another OEM charger (maybe you have friends that also in possession of Xperia Z).
If the phone still not charging, then you should claim your warranty. Just don't tell Sony that you were using non-OEM chargers to charge your phone. Just tell them your battery is dead and the charger doesn't work anymore.

Hi there, im posting this thread because i had/im having issues while charging through wall plug my Galaxy S. It says its charging but it wont charge really as the percentage will never go up. If I charge the cell through usb from computer things go fine and it charges normally.
I've purchased a brand new charger to see if the old one was the guilty for that issue but the brand new is not working either.
Any of the battery supplies doesn't work either so i figured out that the issue came from software so I upgraded my Cyanogen to the most recent stable version and well, at the first charge through the wall plug was fine but after that isnt working again.
So I'm asking you guys if there's a solution for my issue, i'm really desperated with this problem. I can't travell if my cell doesnt charge through wall plugs.
Thank you.
Hi,
i`ve posted your thread in the development thread of CM 10.1.3 ...maybe more people have a idea what it could be !

I've checked it and its not a hardware issue. This issue started to happen when i installed a stable version of Cyanogen and data connection through USB works fine when im transfering movies and pics through the usb connection. Problem is while charging with every wall charger i have for Galaxy.
Maybe make a backup of your device...with CWM-Recovery and t est with another ROM or newer ROM, like CM 10.2 ...only as a test

I bought recently a samsung charger recently.
Before having 10.2 i was with experimental versions of Cyanogen but mobile didnt work properly so i did full wipe of data/cache/dalvik and installed the custom firmware (Gingerbread) and then i upgraded it to Cyanogen doing the right steps as detailed in this forum.
It is really strange, that it worked over usb ,but not with a wall plugged-in charger ...
But i don`t think that it is a software-problem ...
Do you have any news actually?

It may be problem with current output of charger. Check whether your charger is giving 700mA (0.7A) output.
Find the output marked on the sticker (or on body) on the charger whether it is written 700mA or less.
If it is 700mA, then output is equivalent to the original charger. If it is 550mA, then it's just OK. And if it is less than 550mA, it is of no use for Galaxy S.

Hi, I've just checked the charger outputs and they are between that range. One is 0.7A and the other one is 550mA. Thing is that with the 550mA one it only charges when i plug the connector to the phone in the same particular position, if not it's not charging. The 0.7A one is not charging at all but is the one which charged the phone without problem some days ago.
I'm ordering an additional one to confirm my suspects, ill keep u noticed, thanks for all the help!

Instead of buying the new charger, You may buy the charging pin as shown in the pic given in the link. It will cost you just around 2% of the cost of the original charger.
www.telecomb2b.com/uploadedimages/3023Connector-pin.jpg
Separate both the parts (mobile end) on the charging pin and also on the old charger. Now exchange the end parts of both (charger and charging pin)
and enjoy refreshed charger

Fast charge mode has nothing to do with Ac charging. When connected to USB, our phone allow limited power to go for charging. (As you can see, it takes around 6 hours to charge via USB.)
This mode removes this limit and speed up charging.

Hey fellow XDA members,
My S3 Mini seems to lose charge while its in the charge and charges really slowly. I had it months ago when I used the charger that came with the phone so I have been using an IPhone wall adapter with the S3 Mini micro USB cable. Which was working until around a month ago when it showed started doing the same thing. I have tried a new battery, a new phone socket, an S3 charger. I have a feeling its still a faulty socket because my brothers phone charges on my iPhone+Micro USB combo charger. Does anyone have the same problems? What can I do to fix this? I'm running Maclaws CM12. Thanks.
This issue occasionally shows up on my device too. Mostly a reboot or removing the battery for a few seconds solves this.

Had the same problem. For me it was the charger. Try to plug the iPhone wall adapter in the wall socket and then plug in the original USB-Cable of your phone very slowly into the iPhone adapter. For me it helped because otherwise it didn´t charge.
But maybe its a CM12 problem. I don´t know...

It could also be that your battery is reaching the end of its life, but I doubt it. Mine is only a year old, so unless it's more than 2 years old, that couldn't be the case.

I've had my phone for a year. I've got a spare battery, and I have tried to see if the charging problem goes away but it was still present. Right now I am trying to drain the battery completely, then taking it out for a few seconds and then charging it to full and repeating the process.
When you try this use this App! For me it made the battery life better! I use always after flashing a new ROM.
