Ok. Had GS2 5 months, been no bother , had several different roms and last rom was Criseklo v38. Plugged phone into charger and nothing happened
Tried several chargers nothing. Waited about 40 secs with charger in and suddenly the phone tells me its charging... odd but ok. left phone to charge well left it half an hour unplugged charger it read 92% but upon unplugging charger the phone read it was still charging After about half a minute it no longer read it was charging. Ok . Leave phone to charge to full when it tells me, i unplug charger it reads 100% and stays at 100% and flicks between its charging and its not and percentage doesnt drop from 100% until i reboot and it drops to about 96% or so. Battery now loses about 50% overnight and i cannot gauge what state my battery really is at. Wiped phone, formatted new rom, same issue. different rom same issue. I assume from this its not software problem. Is it i need a new battery or does it sound like phones gone **** up. BTW i plug usb to pc and it instantly loads up my sd cards as normal so the usb port seems unaffected. Im not sure what to do
Check what kernel was installed with your last ROM.Sometimes kernels that are use for OC/UV can cause wierd things like this.You may have a corrupt one and if so may need to flash it again.Flash a CF-Root kernel and see what happens.If that doesnt change the problem then we will have to look somewhere else,but its a start.
I acquired a new ext battery but phone still has same issue. I've cleaned kernels in cwm and flashed others but the problem still persists.
I don't know what else to try.

Had the exact same issue on my SGS2. This is not a software or battery problem. I took it to my local samsung service center and they replaced the port where we connect the charger and it started working fine after that.
Mine was under warranty and i was not charged for anything. So everything's back to normal.

Did you return your sgs2 to default or was it rooted when when you returned it to a Samsung service center. I think its what ill have to do is return it under warentee.

Wow sounds like the exact same problem I had just a few days ago. I think my problem was down to moisture caused by using my phone while out in the snow. I bought a new board on ebay for £7 and that fixed the problem but obviously involved removing the casing and a few screws and plugs to fit.
Well i rooted the phone and was running a deodexed rom with siyah kernel. but before taking it to the service center, i flashed a stock rom and kernel and did the binary counter reset with a jig.
Even then they found out that the phone was rooted before, though i pretended i dint do anything and they couldn't justify it. So i guess the warranty was still valid.

Hi,
I hope I am on the right thread.
This issue started one week ago. I have a 4.1.83 (no root, no G-blur or any specific customization beside the ) just the stock Atrix phone.
When my phone is turned off, if I try to plug it into the wall with the moto charger the red Motorola logo came on, then disappear then came back on and keep doing that (on and off) - infinite rebooting loop. Before, the battery charge status would come on and the phone would charge fine.
Now it just does this unlimited reboot on the red M logo.
If i turn on the phone without the cable, the phone turns on fine and i can charge it with the wall charger after the phone is booted. But not when the phone is turned off.
Do you have any ideas on what is going on and how to fix it?
Thanks for your help.
Hmm... Is the charger the one specifically designed for your Atrix and you're sure you haven't done any tweaking to the phone?
Absolutely certain. Am using the original Charger and did not try to do anything special with the phone...I did not touch any system file nor tried to tweak anything.
Phone is 'stock' beside few apps I installed several weeks before the problem starts to occur.

If you had rooted, etc. I would say flash sbf and start over, but since you are stock, I would return it for a warranty replacement.
Can I do that even if I have owned it for 3 months?
Thanks!
I have the same exact problem but I have my mobile flashed, plus bought mine from eBay. Should it be a software issue?

You have one year warranty through Motorola. See warranty section in the following:
http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles/Support/US-EN/Mobile%20Phones/ATRIX_4G/US-EN/Documents/StaticFiles/ATRIX_LG_68014203002A.pdf
If the phone is defective, you are covered. If it's accidental damage, you would have to use your phone insurance through your carrier.
Can't be accidental...Phone is working perfectly beside the charging issue and so far.
Only issue is it takes 1 full day to charge it from 10% to 100%
Last night I plugged my phone at 9pm (60%). It took 8 hours to have it fully charged...
Thanks for your reply, I guess I 'll check with ATT first :'( and Motorola then....
Did you already try charging with the phone off through USB on your desktop or laptop? Maybe the wall charger is defective.
Do a backup and perform a factory restore to see if it fixes it before shipping it out for warranty.
Goodluck!

your battery and or phone is straight up defective, or something is wrong, needs to be replaced. no way should it take that long to charge. something go out of wack, and it sounds like faulty battery is failing, hence why it wont charge turned off AND takes forever to charge up when turned on.
hey,about a week ago I flashed my galaxy s2 with Resurrection ROM,everything went great,I also wiped emmc in the recovery(before I knew about the hard brick bug)
anyways everything was fine,restored via titanium backup,after about an hour I wanted to restart my phone,so it turned off,but never turned on,it won't respond to charging,usb connections won't go to download mode nor recovery..just makes some heat (as it was turned on)
so I took it to a well known repair shop and told me he could revive it with a J-Tag
but I'am just worried :s
what could be the problem?
What could the problem be ? Without opening your phone up & having a look/testing how would we know ?
Sounds like something on the mainboard or the USB/charging circuitry might have died given it died suddenly & not while you were in the process of flashing something/similar, though if he's telling you it's fixable with JTAG then he obviously thinks it's a NAND issue.
Take it to another repairer & get 2nd opinion (or a 3rd, 4th, etc).

My phone dead too.. Was using NeatRomLite and there was no issue with it.. And today... *sniff sniff*.. in the middle of using the phone, it got stuck.. I pulled the battery.. gave it 2 min.. and tried to power it on.. nothin.. no download mode, no recovery, no charging indicators.. nothin.. it has as much functionality as a piece of rock now :crying:
Any updates on your S2's???
today i checked my phone and within an hour the battery had gone down from 70% to 30% and was hot reading 48 degrees celcius on widgetsoid monitor. i rebooted and it kept on draining till it got to 0 and turned off. once i got home and tried to charge through USB and A/C but nothing happens, the phone wont turn on or charge, blank screen. i saw it flash the battery charging icon for about a second but it went away straight away. about a month ago i was running cm9 and then flashed 4.0.4 to have a look at the differences but not long after flashed siyah kernel with odin and restored my cm9 cwm backup. i have been on cm9 and siyah kernel for a long time and thats what it had running today. ive had usb and a/c and misc charging current set to 600mA for quite a while as well, and when i charge the phone in my car it always gets a bit hot on the back.
is my phone dead from hardbrick or a problem with the usb charging circuit?
i have enquired about warranty where i bought it from and now waiting to hear back from them.
Ok let me start my sad story. Months ago i upgraded to ICS and all was fine untill the phone started giving me that error " charging paused voltage to high". I used my nandroid to go back to GB and it was the same. Since then i changed Ics versions, now im on Cm9. I used contact cleaner spray and it actually worked for a few days. Then i got the problem again. In the last month there was no more "voltage to high" error but the phone was not charging anymore, usb or ac, unless i reboot the device. Then it says its charging but it doesnt say USB or AC, just charging. And today it stopped charging period. No matter if i reboot or not. The thing is that i bet you will all say its the USB port, and i might agree but if the micro usb port is broken tell me why odin recognize the device instantly in download mode and flashing goes smooth or why when i use my USB OTG cable my flash drive connects flawlessly and the copy operation runs perfectly? I dont get it, thats why i need help because i love my Sgs2. If there are other threads i appologize but im a seaman and im sailing alot hence my online time is either very limited or expensive.
Thanks in anticipation!

Obviously a problem with the charging circuitry. You can replace the board yourself apparently (not something I'd try), you can send it in for warranty repair or a local non-Samsung authorised repair shop should be able to repair it fairly quickly I would have thought. We see this problem on here all the time.
You could always try another battery and/or charger if you still think it isn't this problem. If you do have the same issue with a new battery/charger, then it's definitely the problem.
You've done everything you possibly can to rule a hardware issue in/out (you've gone back to stock, back to GB, cleaned the contacts), there isn't a great deal more you can do other than the above.
So i bought my SGS3 (marble white) a few days ago and it was working perfectly fine. A few days ago my phone suddenly stopped charging. I rebooted the phone and it was charging again. Last night it again stopped charging. I again rebooted but this time it did not fix the problem.
I know that the charging port of the phone is not damaged as phone works perfectly fine when connected to a pc via usb cable and charges.
And i have never ever plugged in a non-genuine accessory to its micro usb port. Not even a dock!
Anyone with a similar problem or cure?
edit: software update fixed it in my case.

I will not say I have a cure, but I am facing the same problem, sometimes I have to reboot twice for it to start charging.
Guru's kindly look into the issue and help us, this happens in both the cases, while charging for adapter or while charging from USB.

Well not exactly, it does not happen when i plug the phone into a usb port.
It happens with the charger but, now my phone is not just recognizing the charger. I have rebooted twice, thrice but still the same problem.
I'm having a similar problem,
Charging when -
phone on
power save on - WIFI/data and most other things are off
charges 2% per hr with official charger (wall socket)
Charging when -
phone OFF!
40% per hr with official charger (wall socket)
Haven't really tried the PC USB charging yet,
But i have noticed that my battery info page says the phones been on battery for
2 days 22hrs, Very strange as i have charged and attempted to charge the phone more than 10 times in the past 24hrs.
Anyone also noticed the on battery time to be wrong?
i got this problem yesterday too , restart then its ok , weird ...
before reboot the battery icon shows charging icon but its not charging at all
does charging a battery run a software too ?

My mobile is no more in warranty as I have rooted my phone, will have to come back to stock rom for me to claim warranty, that's why I am waiting for someone to provide solution before I return back to stock rom for warranty claim.
Sounds like it's an issue with the charger, rather than the phone.

I thought it was best to ask here before i contact orange to report the problem, as i really didn't want to send the phone back to them if its something i could have fixed
I'm doing a factory reset and if it still has charging problems i will call orange today.
I'm facing the same problem. It started about 2 weeks ago.
I tried different chargers but no hope. the only way to charge it is via a usb port.
I had this problem once on the first day I got my phone. Worked fine though with an iphone charger with the samsung usb cable. Have any of you guys tried that?

I thanked your post accidentally while trying to quote you
The batterystats.bin file only resets itself after a full charge to 100%. That's the file that's responsible for showing all the battery usage info. So if you just keep topping up your phone without letting it charge to 100%, the battery statistics will be from the last full charge. If you see the graph you'll see it rises everytime you charge and then falls when you take it off charge. It cumulatively shows the amount of time you've used the phone on battery since the last full charge, regardless of how much you charge it in between. When you let it charge fully to 100% and unplug it, the battery stats file will be reset and give you a correct reading.

I'm having a similar issue, only difference to what you guys are having is that my SIII start charging via the normal charger if its been in USB for a bit, like 2-5 min. I tried the rebooting, nothing. it only charges through USB 1st, then it will work via the stock charger, I've tested it on another charger aswell, and the samsung car charger.
I really hope there is a quick fix, becuase I dont want to send it in for repairs, as cellphone providers in SA arent the best.
I had a similar problem with my gtab 2 10.1 but the wall charger is to blame

Dude! we don't have problem with battery status i guess,
We have problem with NO CHARGING. Off topic comments won't help.
I had Battery Issues afater ICS
I formated my Internal SD & then did Factory reset
My Phone works Great now & has better Battery Life too
& I did it 3 times
Wonder why everybody keeps saying dont Factory rest ???
Same problem here, i tried with a charger and with a usb port, both doesn't work. Then, i rebooted the phone and now it's charging...
I don't understand.
Hi all,
try off your phone..
take out battery...
put in battery...
plug in charging cable...
wait till it show that your battery is charging with the circle below moving..
let it go 1 round and start your phone. it may help.
Hi XDA,
My Galaxy S3 stopped charging properly a couple of days ago. In a matter of hours it froze and charged a bit slower, then it wouldn't charge anymore. When the phone is off and I plug in the charger, the animation starts for about 1 - 2 seconds, and then the screen goes black. If it's on, nothing happens when i plug the charger in and out.
I've owned the phone for a year, and I rooted about 3 weeks ago, and installed CM10.1 (Nightly). It worked fine until this problem.
I've troubleshooted a bit on my own, and what I've found out is that, it can't be the battery that's the problem, because I've tried three different ones, and the problem stays the same. It can't be the USB port on the phone, since I can get it to work in Download mode (ODIN mode). I've also tried CM9 and flashing back to stock android. I've also tried charging it from the wall and the computer, and used different cables. Nothing has done any better.
I'm guessing it's software related, I just can't figure out how to fix it.
Thanks in advance,
Zhibbhi
the charging port of the phone might be faulty.

By charging port I would suggest the charging circuit inside the phone is faulty, as it sounds like you've eliminated all the other possibilities. Return the phone to fully stock for warranty repair.
So even if I can access the phone through ODIN, the charging circuit can be faulty?
I just thought it was a strange coincident that it went faulty a just a couple of weeks after I installed CM10.1

Odin has nothing to do with the charging circuit .
Solutions .
One the battery try another
Two the charger try another >> charge phone from PC usb .
Three the cable try another
Four the USB port on the phone >>> clean
Five the onboard charging circuit >>> needs a service centre .
Six and highly unlikely a firmware problem wipe phone flash stock rom .

Ok, thanks a ton guys! I'm going to set the phone back to stock, and send it in for warranty repair as I've tried everything else.

In the future, avoid using S3's stock charging cable. I changed mine to one I bought off eBay and had no probs since then. I had several frequent problems like slow charging/no charging etc.

Best avoid using the phone to charge the battery at all, that way you don't stress the phone components with wake lock and heat. Buy a £6 desk charger and spare battery, replacing these is much cheaper than the phone motherboard.
Solved
I have an S3 and lately it has taken longer to charge and it was charging to less percentage. I tried 2 different chargers and 3 different cables with the same outcome. I was thinking about one of the threads I had read and they mentioned going to the cell store and it charged for them. I've read about it being the charge circuit on the main board and various other problems and solutions that didn't work. I went to Staples today and purchased a SCOSCHE reVOLT line h1 2.1 amp quick charge and in less than an hour I charged from 63% to the 100% I haven't seen in quite a while. The Samsung OEM charger it seems (as well as the other one I tried) had lost some of it's get up and go. It is working fine now and with this charger it doesn't take long at all to reach full charge. I've put a lot of time into customizing this phone after root and would have been VERY disappointed if I had to start over with a new one. I'd be willing to bet at least 90% of the charging problems people are posting about are caused by the charger deteriorating over time.
