After updating to ICS I cannot charge my phone while it's off.
I always charge the phone during the night and never let it fully die but today I didn't see that the battery level is so low and my phone died now I cannot turn it on to charge it. I get constant reset, my LED flashes blue/red and it resets non stop.
2 nights ago forgot about that problem and woke up at 3 o'clock to find out that my phone has been restarting for about 4 hours.
Give any advice.
P.s. My girl's also with Neo, also updated to 4.0.4, same problem there...

I just found out after reading your post that I have the same problem but I removed some app so don´t know if has anything to do with removed app!
Downgraded to GB and you can charge your phone normally. After be careful to don´t let your phone battery complete drain.
I am trying some roms besides official to see if I found out one that can allow charging in off mode. Is annoying this….
EDIT1: I just made a clean update from GB to ICS without removing any app or installing any different kernel and is charging in off mode.
So this behavior any something to do or with removed app or with different kernel installation!
Have to find out.
EDIT2: No. Is not Kernell issue or Super User that I just flash by CWM. So last option is any removed app or eventually any combination of factors.
Yes, I am in the process of downgrading, good thing is that we have two Neo's so I can use the other one's battery
Dudes! I managed to charge my phone but darn it wasn't easy.
Now one of these is on the way: http://www.ebay.com/itm/190586739151?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Are you sure it's a hardware issue, because I've tried 4 different ICS ROMs (Stock ICS, JJDoctor's, KA20 and AOSP 4.0.4) and I've been able to charge my phone while off in all of them.
Maybe getting your phone to a service center will find the culprit.

Is not a hardware issue.
I also had the same problem but now I don´t!!!
I downgrade to GB and flash ICS again and problem is gone.
Why? Don´t know.
Probably is a combination of things.
I never said anything about hardware issue. At least don't remember it.
After flashing back to GB and upgrading to ICS the problem was gone until I removed all apps that don't use directly from system/vendor/app
Now I cannot charge again but hopefully I won't leave my battery to totally die again.

Chargemon, if I'm not mistaken, is replaced when installing cwm. This means I should be facing this problem as well. Let me check...
Sent from my MT15i using XDA
EDIT: I couldn't replicate the problem. The phone started charging normally when off. A few seconds in the light went from green to red, but I think it recalculated the battery from 90% to 89%, hence the switch. Perhaps this only happens when the battery is fully drained?
hello all
i have a very peculiar problem with my s3. I have been using official unbranded poland rom (I9300XXBLH1), flashed it over the rom that came stock on it, since i got the device without any problems. when 4.1.1 offical came out and it was for poland i went on sammobile, grabed the rom, flashed and at first all seemed fine until i tried to charge the phone.
first the phone didn't charge at all then it charged some but i noticed that red led does not shine as birght when the phone doesnt charge, it goes dim. the cable and charger are fine, tested with other combos and on other phones all works fine. the phone also charges fine when its turned off.
now the peculiar part... once i rooted, wiped everything from recovery and reverted back to poland 4.0.4 all charging issues disappear. wiping everything again then installing 4.1.1 reintroduces the charging problem, this was my first thought - bad flash, but it wasn't.
why does my s3 respond this way to jelly bean, have others had similar problems? any info apriciated
I got the same problem
I got this same problem in my S3. Now my S3 have a crazy behaves related charging and its begin to happen about the second day that I did update. And I did the official update that popped up in my screen.
So any one could help us to figure out what going on?
Thanks in advance!

in the meantime i tried super wipe script and numerous custom roms based on 4.1.1 and they all have the same charging issue. not that its surprising just thought its worth mentioning. i am really confused by this.

guys try few things
1. use only genuine usb cable / charger
2. use genuine usb cable + iphone wall charger - it may sound crazy but for me it made the difference.
3. use other cable
i was facing similar problem, it went off by charging with charger that i had at home from SGS1. i a mable to charge it again.
they are few topics around about bad quality USB pin on phone, or even battery, or low charger quality.
if nothing would work you have to contact the shop/carrier and claim repair/refund/exchange
and i think its not software issue... check

I have exactly the same problem with omega v27 jelly bean
I have installed lots it ICS roms but this never happened....i am sure its some software problem cuz everyone seems to get this after the jelly bean update.
And charing from 0% to 100 % took me around 8 hours
Anyone else facing this problem?

well, i have already stated in original post that i have tried different cable/charger combo and that every single cable and charger i tried works just fine on other phones i have around the house. heck, all of them work fine on s3 too when on ics but not if jelly bean is installed. so it aint the chargers, its the software in the phone.
also those threads were started some months ago, the issue here is different, charging problems did not come "out of the blue", they come and go with jelly bean installation, that's the weirdest part.
I think this is connected with Fast Dormancy.
First time when I flashed Omega 27 (Jelly Bean) I got same problem.
Than I turn off Fast Dormancy and this problem turned off too

this is what fast dormancy is and how to disable it, i have no idea how a network feature would be connected to a charging problem... i would understand if it was battery drain problem...
im going to flash 4.1.1 again, discharge the battery then charge it while the phone is off... see if that helps

I'm also having this problem. As an added twist, my phone is plugged into a Viewsonic GTablet at night. It worked fine under ICS, under JB it only charges around 70-75%. Better Battery Stats says "usb cb wake lock" and "usb device wake lock" were both active the entire time with 69.5% while the phone was charging. "secril_fd-interface" (FD) had 1.6%, so I don't think that is my issue. I will try again tonight with a normal charger and see if it makes a difference. I have the red charging light and other notifications disabled at night, my wife and I both have GSIII's and it looked like a disco the first night before we turned those off
Just thought I would throw that out there.
Temp solution for charging problem...
Hi all,
I too face the same problem. But it is not the fault with Cable or charger but with JB ROM Only. Someone in this post said that charging took 8 long hours from 0-100%. This is because your phone thinks that it is charging from a USB power source rather than AC power source. This can be verified from the battery screen in settings menu. This is a problem with JB kernel which needs to be addressed.
But as a workaround, just unplug the charger from the phone and again plug it back.T S3 will consider that it is charging now from a powersource (will be shown as AC in the Battery screen under setting menu). If it doesnt come the first time, try repeating for a couple more times (try unplugging from the charger end rather from the phone end)... this will resolve temporarily this charging issue, till the kernel permanent fix comes out....
Just came to share my agony..my cell has been on wall charger since 24 hrs and is still just 80%.
So as u guys said,I am staying optimist and waitin for some sort of kernel fix.
Any updates on this issue?
BTW I'm on Wanam 3.7 with siyah 1.6RC3
Need help to get my phone functional again
Today I plugged my s3 into HP envy17's USB(one that specifically says charging port)
Now it my cell is charging at rate of around ~14%/hr which previously charged at rate of around ~5%/hr only
Thought I should share,it's definitely something wrong with how JB manages the charging,possibly defective drivers...any fix any 1
Same here guys, samsung deseption u.u
ok i'm back with doing some experiments...
charging the battery to full while the phone is off then discharging it completely (doing a cycle, so to say) didn't really give any results, i even did this twice, purging batterystats from cwm also did nothing...
i just wanna clarify something... do all of you also experience the dimmed red charging light when screen is off? we should prob notify samsung through official bug report service or something...
get into recovery mode by CWM >advanced > reset battery stat > reboot
i think it ll work

i love it when ppl offer a solution i said i tried in the post directly above theirs... like seriously?
I am facing a weird problem right now, while I am on 40~50 % of battery, the screen blinks fast an the phone shuts down. Sometimes I should just turn it on and all is good and sometimes I must plug in the charger. It happened on both a custom ROM and a stock ROM. Is my battery dying? It doesn't seem to be a software issue though...
Another issue which is probably related to this, sometimes when I restart the phone, the battery just drops from like 80 percent to 15 or less...
If more information are needed just ask please..
I appreciate any help

Right, lucky me my brother has an s2. I am going to try it out and post again. Thanks

Hello,
I bought my Samsung gs2 just over a year ago. I had issues with the battary life all the time (It sometimes lost 20% in a few minutes without reason), but many other gs2 users have similar problems, so I just ignored it. 2 weeks ago, after I unplugged it, it suddenly lost 90% of the battery in an hour, and got extremly hot (the heat wasn't coming from the top of the phone where the cpu is, but from the middle of the it). I shut it down and removed the battery. When I switched it back on it had only 1% left. Now it is completely dead.
The Battery is working properly in my brothers phone, and I reproduced this with 2 other batteries. I suspect there is some kind of hardware damage. When I try to charge it, it displays an overheating alert (both switched on and off), and doesn't charge at all. Now the battery is so low, it doesn't display anything any more.
Unfortunately I installed a custum ROM (wanam lite), because I tried to solve the battery issues, so Samsung won't repair it.
Can anyone please help me keeping the phone alive long enough to flash the original firmware?
Thanks in advance!
do you have any symptoms for a faulty usb port? as for flashing a stock rom just fully charge it (turned off) boot in download mode and fire away... or is it draining your battery in download mode too?
I have the same problem with my white S2 i9100T, sent back twice to repair, just got it back one week ago, finally the battery problem is gone! Last changed is the mainboard, first repair they swaped the battery and updated software(already latest firmware, what the hell they tried to update?).
My phone is just over a year old as well, it has battery problem since first day and only fixed now. As I know only the one made in Vietnam has this problem so yours made in Vietnam probably you will need to replace the mainboard. I am using a 2 yrs old black S2 made in Korea, exactly same model, very stable and never fail, that Vietnam one keep having unexpected behaver, another friend's Vietnam one is the same, recently another friend got one made in China, so fast so good.
Thanks for your replies. Unfortunately My phone seems to drain the battery even when switched off, and it isn't possible to charge it, no matter whether it is on or off. So my only option is to ask somone else to charge the battery, and then try flashing the original software. How long do you think flashing will take? Even if the battery is fully charged, I don't have power for more than half an hour.
Another question: Does anyone know if it is possible to reset the flash counter without booting the phone? I doubt that I will have enough time to install triangle away...
do you have better battery stats? It'll tell you what the problem is more accurately.. I just check it when I have battery issues

Hi,
my phone just got into that bootloop thing.
I did a factory reset but it didnt help.
sometimes the phone overcome the boot problem and doing the restart after going to the home screen.
now iv notice that the battery is acting weird, every time im charging the phone when it off its showing different percents. it can say 91% and after I turn on the phone it can say that there is not enough battery to turn the phone on.
before the bootloop thing happend I bought to my phone a super charger:
Tronsmart Quick Charge 3.0 USB
is there any connection between the bootloop, the charger and the battery? I don't have extra battery to check it but is there anybody that know about this problem?
thanks
