Galaxy S3 Mini not charging - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently my S3 Mini GT I8190 stopped charging. When I plug it in it boots instead. Then it began charging only when it has booted but it charges slowly. When the battery dies off completely im unable to charge it so I first have to use an external charger and let the battery gain some charge then after that I insert it into the phone so that it charges when the phone is on but again it charges slowly. I've tested several batteries and different chargers and the problems persists . I've also tried different ROMS and the problems persists so it's not a software issue . everything else works normally apart from the charging issue. So what could be the problem guys?

Do you know someone with the same phone? If so, have you tried to charge his/her phone with your charger?
There is no bad choises, only bad results.
SGS III Mini
tenshi_xp's PAC Rom RC-3
KitKat 4.4.4.

My charger works just fine with other phones. I've cleaned out the usb charging port but it hasn't helped either. I'm thinking I should have the charging port replaced. The phone is not detected by a computer when connected although the charging icon appears. sometimes the phone will even display the charging icon when it has been plugged off

Not charging stellar

Hi.
My xda stellar is not charging but in a very strange way...
The orange led is glowing and in power menu i get the "charging" notification but in fact the device is not charging... :S What's wrong??
I think that it happened after i tried to charge the device using a motorola charger. I don't have the original charger i used to charge it with an htc mini usb charger that i had.
The pins of the usb port seem ok...
For the moment i'm charging the battery outside of the device.. :/
Any suggestion?
Could be an old dried used up battery.
I tried a second one(new) that's not working too.....The device was working perfectly until i tried the motorola charger..
Hey, I'm having the same problem and I seeing as i brought the phone second hand it didn't come with an official charger and just used the USB mini i have laying around. Again I have replaced the battery thinking it was that. Nada. Still doing it.
I've taken the phone apart and cannot see anything wrong.
So I was wondering until the problem is solved, how are you charging the battery externally?
Thanks

Empty Galaxy Note won't charge

Hi all,
My Galaxy Note always worked fine but for the last months I've been using a couple of different phones and my Note was just lying in a drawer until the battery was completely drained.
I want to give it to a friend right now so I figured I'll just connect it to a charger but it doesn't do anything right now. I've been trying several different USB cables, wall socket chargers and connecting it to my PC but there's no charge indication or anything, the phone remains dead. I already removed and re-inserted the battery.
Any idea? Could the battery be dead and do I need to replace it?
Ok so I used a more expensive charger and yet another cable and suddenly it started charging and I can even boot it up so this can be closed

Phone is not getting charged.

Since past 3 days my galaxy note was having charging problems. It was getting charged on and off. Now its not getting charged totally.
The phone shows plugged in. and when i switch it off it does show charging sign but it doesnt charge. I have tried different charger. I have tried different battery. But it only shows charging but doesnt charge.
This is a USB port problem faced by many, you'll have to get it replaced. Just to check once if it is a USB port problem, you may try charging your battery with someone else's note. Also if you have rooted the phone, try re-flashing the ROM and see if it charges. And still if it doesn't, you've to replace the USB port, fairly common for our note!

Phone not charging nor with AC nor USB

Hey guys!
My phone will charge battery only sometimes. The PC usb is not charging the battery (but it does see the usb), my ac is not charging also. I bought a new one. not charging. I tried with 3 different batteries - not charging.
It only charge sometimes when im using the galaxy s2 mini charger. But then it charge ex to 50% or 80% and it stops. I get the charging animation but the battery power drops normally like if i were using the phone.
I opened my 9000 and tried to see if the usb charger is burned or the soldering is bad. But everything is all right :/
By mistake, when i was "rebuilding my phone" i put the simcard backwards. And then even with the mini2 charger i was unable to charge more than 1%.
Do you know what can cause it? Its not the custom rom (helly bean) because i did not update it when it happened a month or so.
Thanks for any help.
