Battery drains when using USB Tethering - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

hi,
SK17i user here and I noticed while using usb tethering, my battery drop from 100% to 80%...
Happened to anyone else too????
Is this normal?
Thanks

if you re using front usb port then switch to on board usb2.0 ports. i faced the same problem and it was solved by changing the port. hope that it will help.

What device? What ROM? What kernel?
If you need help you need to be more specific. Just as an FYI, the players don't go into full charge/AC mode if they're connected to a PC USB port. i can easily drain the battery on my 5.0 faster than it can charge when it's plugged into my computer. If you use the included charger and cable it should charge the battery in a few hours.
Solved i dont know what was happening

[Q][BUGGED] Battery screwed up? Or software issues?

What I've tried?
Wipe battery stats
Changing through a lot of ROM's (Wiping, formatting etc)
The question is how can I fix this issue?

So does your phone say that the battery is charging even when it is not? The video quality is unclear.

Yes that is my problem, it persists when battery values are 70-100% after that it never goes into charging mode again.
Cheers
That's strange. Have you tried cleaning the charging port? You can use a sharpened tooth pick to try remove dirt from the port. Then reboot the device and see if it makes a difference.

Even I changed the cable and chargers everything would solve the problem for couple of days then again back to square one...one peculiar thing was there was no knowing when it used to charge and when it used to stop there was no pattern to it...

Dude, i have the same problem as you. When my phone is plugged in, it takes forever to charge it and if i am using it when charging it will quickly discharge. Really annoying.
Slow charging
I think i have the same problem.
when i charge my phone over night, the battery is in the morning only 40-50%
I tried my old htc desire charger and the normal s3 charger, but it does not make any difference.
What can be the problem? my charger, battery or my phone itself?
FYI, I did a Kies update and that fixed my battery problem. Try it. It may work for you to.
it happened to me too
what I did was u changed my USB cable
it solved my problem
try this

a different good quality cable will solve the problem. I had a slow charging issue .changed to a Nokia sync cable .nd voila charges in the required speed
Sent from my GT-I9300
yes.. i guess whoever is encountering problem should try using the original cable and see if solve the problem.. mine does.. no choice..

Use Original Samsung cable or Nokia cable - that fixes most charging problems.
3rd party cables give a lot of problems...
Galaxy S3 Charging problem-disappointing and annoying
Dear All......HELP !!!
I bought a new S3 and i loved it.....everything was perfect...it was on ICS>
Now i have this problem since few weeks back....suddenly my S3 will not charge....sometimes only 3 to 4 % up whole night....very very slow.
Even the LED light is dim when charging.....
ALSO ...sometimes it is not charging then i unplug the cable from cell phone put it back.....its charges but after a few seconds it stops charging....worse when i connec to PC.
I tried twisting the cable....first i tought some problem in the connection point of cable to my phone....i changed cable nothing.....
is it hardware issue of my phone where it connects to charging cable or is it Jelly bean????
im really disappointed that how come a new phone (only 1.5 months old) can have this problem.....
PLEASE HELP ME.....I CANNOT CHARGE MY MOBILE.......from wall or USB....im starting to hate samsung ...although i used Galaxy S Plus...and loved it.....
Also my screen is less bright and yellowish than my wifes S3. i mean the white is not white is yellowish white (off white color)
Thanks please help
Most likely the Samsung charger, many faults reported.
S1/S2/ BlackBerry and many others work on the S3

[Q]Charging problem?

Ok so recently i bought new usb cable to charge s3 since original one wasnt working. And all i can say that it charges but soo slow.. And btw my original s3 chargers dont works with it so i pulled out my old 'fat' galaxy tab charger.. Any solutions how to fix this problem?

A well known issue is that the samsung kernel stability detector will charge at 100mA if it believes the connection to be unstable. Usually its because the S3 cable is crap and needs replacing.
Does your tab cable work? if so its clearly a problem with the cable you bought

My tab cable cant be plugged into s3 but it charges my tab good and fast and again that cable also isnt original..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Im confused? So what has the tab got to do with anything at all?
haha yea maybe i was confusing. Bassically original wall charger from tab works when i plug that aftermarket usb cable to s3. However when i plug in my original s3 wall charger it doesnt work at all.
Ah ok..
Im not sure the tab has the same stability protection so Im not sure that proves anything.
Its either the plug in the wall, the cable or the port on the s3. Its *usually* the cable. Is it any faster plugging the cable into a PC USB?
Nope same speed.. So the cable is the problem?

Yes and no. The cable itself could be fine but something in it triggers the S3 to think it's unstable. OR the USB port is dodgy. You could try some other cables if you have people around who have them.
If you're rooted, some custom kernels have the ability to turn off this stability detection.
