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

One day I was away from home and my battery was low. So I had to use a Sony Xperia charger. But now my phone has problems charge.
problems such as:
-it won't charge
-it only charges to 50%
-the charge cuts in and out
-I have to leave it still or it won't charge.
Has anyone had these problems occur. This is really annoying and I would like to find a solution ASAP
*and the only charger that doesn't cause this problem is ny nexus 7 charger. But I don't want to use it. Because when I tried it, it said it's not compatible and will damage my device.

Unfortunately it sounds like the micro USB connector port may be partially broken. Did you try a different USB cable with the stock charger?

Sorry, that was my only work around. I think you need to get the hardware repaired.

If your phone is charging half way through then It should not be the connector. Try charging through the use if laptop. Try clearing the battery stats if rooted else back up your phone and try restoring it to factory settings.

HI
greetings,
I think its a hardware problem
might be the micro usb port of the cable has to do something
try any of your friends htc cable and plug and see if the problem exist then its not the cable but the phone ....
best way is to take your phone to htc service centre
The battery percentage of my S3 Mini is going down while i'm charging it. and this problem only started a week ago. uhm, any solutions for this prob?
anyways my phone is not rooted and it's in ver 4.1.2 yep thanks
Have a look on the battery usage screen, does it indicate that its charging at the top by the percentage? If so, does it say usb or ac? Also, are you doing anything with the phone when you state it's discharging?

Try different charger. Did you check your usb port? Maybe there is some kind of a deffect (broken pin...). Did you try to charge your phone while it is off? Try to shut down phone, remove battery for 5 minutes and then put it back.

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

Hmhh it is really strange...hope with new charger or pin it works ...:good:

Dunno whats wrong with the new one i purchased before this one, but its not working at all.
Before asking to close this topic i'd like to know which are the pros and cons of the fast charge mode i have in mackay kernel, thx!
Hey great, nice to hear :good: thanks for the news...
fast charge menas that the highest power of your charger or over usb will be activated for charging your battery faster...i had this option with semaphore, too, but i never used it ...

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.

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, i had the same problem but a lot worse, then i bought this new monster cable, and all my problems are solved, before i bought the monster cable i bought like 3 regular cables but they don't work.
