Charging problem :( i need help - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Hi I have an international rooted Galaxy S-III i9305, bought it in June . The charging has been unstable, as in sometimes it would charge up just fine while sometimes it even discharges when charging. I went to the Samsung service center and they gave me a new charger without checking my phone. The problem persists. I borrowed another charger from a friend and the same thing happens. I bought a new port connector and same results ..
I came across an app in the XDA forum, Galaxy Charging Current. Tested it to realise that it's the phone problem it should show 1000ma but it show 1000ma sometimes and 500ma sometimes and 100ma sometimes ... , I had to keep reconnecting the charger to obtain an efficient charge and its not stable it change :\ :'( im really tired i hope you can help me .. I tryed to change my android version (4,4,4) and i flashed unofficial cm12 but no way

Go into battery section on settings.
While it's charging , does it states USB or CA ?

First, use imgur.com
Second, change your language to English, the French translations does not ditinguish between USB and AC charging (just for this test, you can revert after)
Then, plug in your wall charger. It should say Charging on AC or Charging on USB. Check it.

Charging from AC means: Power Line.

So what should i do ?

Looks like your USB port is about to die. Had mine to repair twice because my phone wouldn't charge or be recognized via PC. Pretty common issue of the S3.

Cannot charge with wall outlet

Recently my X1 cannot be charged with USB cable through wall outlet & even car charger , but able to charge with USB cable through PC.
Anyone do encounter the same problem?
Well that's a strange one - how long was it connected to the wall?
Without getting into the discussion about volts and amps provided, and amps drawn by the phone, any method should charge.
In terms of speed, I would think the wall would charge fastest (see above), and the USB slowest.
Did the phone show on the top bar, the charging icon when attached to the wall? Or after a period of time there was no increment in the % charge showing??
If the battery was down to 0%, you probably wouldn't see an immediate increase in the % charge. The % charge is orientative, especially at both ends of the scale.

I do agree with you. Charging with wall outlet is faster. Therefore, normally I'm charging my X1 with wall outlet, unless in office, will use PC USB.
Top bar never show charging icon, but once I charge it with PC USB, the charging icon show up immediately.
It seems like no power for the USB when connected to the wall outlet. I've tested with battery removed, plugged in USB cable connected to wall outlet, there is no charging illumination light. I cannot power on it.
I tried to recall, it happened after I used a USB charger for my MP3 player. The next day, when I tried to charge with car charger. To my surprise, the USB connection notification showed up (I do remember, while charging with wall outlet or car charger, it will never prompt me for USB connection).
I don't think, it is the ROM issue. Try a few ROM still having the same problem.
From now, I got to live with PC USB :|
X1 Charging problem
I have same problem. I can not charge via both USB-PC and Wall. In order to charge the phone, I have to switch it off and then charge it.
This happened after I used CHEAP car charger from dealexteme.com
Now everytime I want to charge my phone, I have to switch it off.

I'm using the original SE charger!? I would not think the problem with the charger, but my X1 was screwed by the incompatible MP3 USB charger
Yep same with me, not sure why mine started doing that though, I never got used a cheap charger. Maybe its the rom... I am trying a new one now.

it's not caused by the ROM, I'm very sure. I've installed different ROM. The problem still exist.
I am having a similar problem. When the phone completely discharges , i am unable to charge it with any power adapter or even car charger. I have to initially charge the phone using a PC , then after the power is around 15% , then the phone gets charged with a normal adapter.. any suggestions??
same problem. It happends when the battery is completely discharged.
what I do is use a charger w/ low amp rating (.1) and plug it in for at least 10-20min. Give it some time, it will start charging after a while (indicated by the blinking lights). After that, you can turn it on and charge it normally
I had a similar problem twice.Both times I solved it by replacing the charger.
the same happen to me and i have another issue
my xperia doesnt work as usb mass storage!!!
the solution was buying another charger but..the usb mass storage issue still not working as a flash drive!!

[Q] Mains Charging issue

Hi all,
Have a strange problem.
Galaaxy S i9000 XXJVT - phone will occasionally charge on mains but rarely. Usually when battery completely depleted, but not always. Checked wires and also changed charger but all is ok with chargers.
Phone charges OK with USB though. Any known bugs on this? Sorry if it has been posted before but couldnt find any problem like this one.

Really weird problem coz the phone uses the same two pins in a USB socket to charge.. Also, it can't discriminate between a wall charger and a USB cable in terms of charging..
How many chargers have you tried it on? have you tried to use your charger in anyone else's phone?

Yes to all! I checked that the prob wasnt with my charger. There is some instability in charging also. As soon as I manage to charge it 100% on wall plug (occasionally) it stops charging. So overnight, it takes a couple of hours to charge then wont start again.
Recommend reinstall??

hi all,
my problem is when i put to charge my tablet with the travel AC adapter i think the tab only recognized 0.5mah of 2000mah total and i dont know why.
i use cm 10.1.3 (22-oct-13)
is problem for the jelly bean? and other problem, i dont see the lightning in the battery when is charging, i go to the adjust /battery and the tab not show nothing info when is charging for usb or AC.. not show nothing. only the green line at bottom, this reflect the charge.
sorry for my english and sorry if this post must placed in other section.
You have to use the official Samsung charger. Most other wall adapters won't pull enough amps. Same goes with USB ports.
i have the original samsung charger, i think one posibilty is the usb cable, this is not original. I need try whit other USB cable.
actually i buy the "original" usb cable, in next days i try charge..

I think samsung galaxy tab needs the original charger to charge the battery, or you can use a converter to pass the original check.
There must be some pin in the cable that check the original issue, CMIIW

no, wrong usb cable doesnt make the device overheating, & damaged usb cable wont charge anymore. i think the problem is ur original charger or rom what u used.

The Sony charger and cable are specially made for faster charging. If you connect your original charger and cable to a samsung phone, you'll see how quickly they charge up. Other cables will take more time.
Always try and use the original cable and charger. Otherwise it will charge slowly. But I don't know about the heating.
thanks
thanks everyone. i visited repair centere and they said it was problem with my charging ic.not any cable or wall socket.
i tried different chargers yesterday, he said one of my chrger's ampier rate was above 1.5A and that may cause to this error.

[Q] Slow charging

I have a ep-880 charger and ec-450 usb cable, but charging is taking 2 hours and 40 minutes so is the charging slow? The usb is not the one that comes in box. If this is usb problem please tell me which usb should i use?
I have the same problem , my charging time is almost the same as you ,someone said it is relative to the USB cable .
the one that comes in box is ec801.
sorry for my terrible English.
thnx 4 replying....yea i too think it is usb problem! so should i get a ec-801 cable?

In my opinion,It's relative to the USB cable's resistance. so it's up 2 you or you can choice a another one .it doesn't matter.
you can check the charging current by yourself with Galaxy Charging Current on google play.
by the way , Google is very powerful tool you should konw..
