Hello,
I live in Australia and bought my I9300 from HONG KONG.
I had this charging issue from 2 weeks ago and I've searched many thread about i9300 charging issues.
Today I decide and just sent my s3 to repair shop and I asked them about change of charging port of my s3.
1. Sometimes my s3 charging alright but not fast as before it depends on time like 1% per 4 min or 1% per 9min. Sometimes not charging just discharging while A/C charger connected.
2. The charger as usb line + wall charger works alright without disconnect problem (but charge speed was slow).
3. The charger as like wall charger just line with wall charger not usb. (disconnect if connect wall charger)
I'm really confused this problem was related with hardware or software.
I'm not sure if the charging port replaced will solve the problem.
Please give me opinions.
Thank you for read and sorry for my English.
Regards,
Jin
First try to turn off your device and connect it to the wall charger, the device should start recharge without starting the android os.
second, is the wall adapter getting extremely hot while charging slowly?
third, try to charge with your computer usb port.
fourth, try to find someone with different phone and use his battery for a day. is it the same?
if you know a bit electronics, i suggest you to check your battery voltage using AVO-Meter, if it much lower then it should be (written on the battery itself) it means that somehow your battery reached end-of-life (maybe you bought used one?)
Thanks for reply.
I've already tried my sister's battery, too.
So I know the problem was not related with battery life.
This problem make me headache everyday.. I'm bit worried about phone repair will be completed well because I have to pay money...
PS: I have custom rom foxhound 4.1.2 jellybean ver. and I already downgrade to ICS Omega rom previous time. And this problem first happened when I used ICS Omega Rom.. so confused about hardware or software problem.. I just woke up 2 hours ago and can't go to sleep because very worried about repair phone thing..
if your concern is about software why wouldn't you just flash the phone stock rom? do you have any backup?

Hello. Today I bought an Xperia X10 from a SH store. Anyway the phone came in great conditions and at a great price. The boy from there gave me the phone and charger + USB cable. All things good till I start charging it. I should mention that when I got the phone it was at aprox. 60% and after using intensively (like when you just buy a phone) it was, after 5 h, at 22%.
Let's get to the problem: I plug the phone with the charger to socket and let it charge. After 3h it went from 22% to 52% . I mean this is really impossible to understand.
My question is how can I find what is wrong. Now I'm wondering if the charger or the USB cable or the Battery is not original.
On the charger there is written SonyEricsson, so I guess it is original. I'll try tomorrow to search for it's S/N on the net. The Output Voltage is 5V and 700mA, which I saw that is normal for an original charger.
The USB cable looks kind of fishy to me.
The battery seems original.
So what could it be wrong and how can I find it out? Any thoughts, beside what I've asked, about this kind of problem are well appreciated.
Thank you.
That's odd considering the current that was flowing to your battery. Try turning off your phone and charging it to 100%. Maybe It needs some adjusting. Also i suggest rooting your phone, no problems with battery at all with the ROMS that are out
Thank you for your fast response. I'll try to charge it to full when it is powered off to see if time differs.
When do you mean "no battery problems with available ROM's" do you mean no charging problems?
yes i mean that
The only reasons u could have a reduction of current is if heat is an issue or if your phone is in heavy use. Also if the charger is faulty of course. So check the temperature while charging and try diabling wifi and any data u have going on the phone. That should help.

Thank you for your response. While I left the phone charging there was nothing running at all. Also I didn't notice the phone heating too much.
I went to the guy from who I bought the phone, and he said that he will order an original charger at no cost for me. So I think I'll wait for that one and see how it works.
But out of curiosity: could it also be the cable that is limiting the power? The cable is not original.

Yes, a faulty cable can't charge the phone properly.
Wait and see how it goes with the new charger!
Did you plug it in staight after you used it? My phone seems to drain when it is at around 45 degrees even though it doesnt feel hot. Let it cool by turning it off for 10 minutes or so and try again.

Everything is fine now with the new charger which looks more than original and the USB Cable, also original. (The charge time is ~ 2-3h - empty -> full)
Thank you all for your help.

PLS HELP !
Try to recalibrate your battery using recovery menu or 3rd party app from the market.
I'd also recommend upgrading to 4.0.3 via Kies.
are you trying to recharge it with usb or mains?
First thing; don't try and 'calibrate' your battery using any app, the recovery menu or any voodoo crap you might read on here. It's just not possible. It's a nonsense. Best you can do is charge the battery to 100%, remove it for a minute, put it back in the phone & enjoy so far as that is concerned.
Waza is on the right path. If that's happening when it's connected to charger, you probably have a problem with the battery in all likelihood (or maybe even the charging circuitry). I'd get a new battery & see how that goes in the first instance, if it does end up being something 'worse' (USB/charging circuitry), at worst you'll have a spare battery for when you get it repaired & at best you'll fix the problem.
As Waza alluded, if it's happening on USB charge, that's not necessarily unusual if you're using the phone - whatever you're doing with the phone is using more juice than the rate of charge, also the phone will tend to get hot if you do anything more than light use while it's on either AC or USB charge.
i have upgraded it to 4.0.3
and i m looking forward for the battery life ...
and yes it happens with both mains and usb
anyways ty guyz
Hi! I have apparently a problem with my SGS3 battery. I usually put my phone to charge every night, ok, from week to week, when I get wake up at the morning, it gets stuck at xx% (several % from 4x% to 8x%) no matter the hours it gets connected to the charger, the only way to solve to complete the charge is rebooting the phone.
Happened to me with several roms, from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2, and I don't have a single clue about what causes this.
Any tip/advice would be appreciated. Should I buy another wall charger? Maybe battery issue then?
Thanks in advance.

happened with me with s3 charger it took ages to charge 1% i used a s2 charger and works perfectly
I have a Nexus One charger, I didn't want to try with different chargers because of they have different voltages and so but... I was mistaken, the two have the same V. - A. output: 5V - 1A
Time to try tonight and a few days with it, I hope it didn't happen again
Occasionally I use a charger that I normally use for my Raspberry Pi.. it's 2 amp.
Charges the phone ridiculously quickly, but it gets really hot so I try not to use it too much.
Hello there people!
Basically this is my first post on here because it's actually the first time that I couldn't find a thread covering the same/similar problem that I'm experiencing...
Here's my issue:
I've got two batteries for my SGS 2, the standard 1650mAh battery and an extended 2000mAh battery (Official Samsung Extended Battery Kit), which I bought about half a year ago, when the stock one started giving me battery life of only few hours.
Yesterday, when my battery died I plugged it into my PC and booted the phone back up immediately without letting it charge even a little bit because I was in a hurry... Since I started using it right away the battery drained faster than it could charge and died within seconds with the screen flickering.
I knew I wasn't really being nice to the battery so I finally let it turned off to charge...
This was when I noticed that it wouldn't charge at all (no charging indicator), though it did seconds before when it was on.
So I tested different USB cables and sockets --> Not charging.
I replaced the battery with the old one that I haven't used in months --> Charging!
These results prove that the charger itself and the USB port of the phone do work and indicate that the issue is with the extended battery.
Now my question is: Can a battery just break so suddenly and if yes, is it fixable and how? I knew a battery can get weaker with age and become useless this way and that the most common reason for a battery to not charge at all are broken components (usb cable or port) but I never knew batteries could suddenly stop working.
Keep in mind the 'broken' battery is relatively new (5 months) in comparison to the old one which was in duty for 2+ years.
Another thought: Maybe it's a problem with the phone, 'not recognizing' the battery after it had its sudden death?
I hope my description was somewhat clear and thank you guys in advance for your help and suggestions!
P.S. Don't know if it's of any help here but I'm running a cm 10.2 nightly (Android 4.3.1)
Of course batteries can die like that after a few mths. Manufacturing process isn't always perfect, some of questionable quality will always get through QC. Fix a battery - You're kidding, right ?
I doubt you can get a replacement, most guarantees on phone batteries are 90 days in my experience, but you can certainly go back to the seller & try.

hi guys,
this is my first posting too.
I am using Samsung Galaxy SII I9100G version
I have use odin to flash the stock rom JB 4.1.2
I use the blazing kernel safe mode
past few months the phone is working fine, it will go overheated (when charging sometimes not charging) if i use other version of blazing kernel.
this two days, something strange happen to my phone. it keep on overheating both charging and non charging. i have no idea what goes wrong as i did not flash anything nor change the rom. to charge my phone it takes longer as its burning!
without charging it also burning.
i do not know what to do now, any senior member can lend a hand?
I have a Galaxy S3 that I bought 2 years ago in the Samsung Store. Unlocked, of course. I have never rooted it, or done anything like that to the phone. I have been always careful with it.
But I have been having this battery problem for almost 1 year and I'm very tired...
Everytime I try to charge my phone it just odesn't charge, it discharges or charges veeeeeeery sloooowly. No matter if I do it with the phone on or off. When it charges normally I get so happy I could die
Things I have tried:
-getting a new battery
-getting a new USB cable and adapter.
-checking the charging port (sorry I'm not an english speaker so I dunno how to say that)
-erasing all data and leaving my phone as if it was new
-EVERYTHING
What I'm doing to use it:
I bought a universal battery charger. I got 2 batteries. I charge one, put it on my phone while I charge the other. Each battery charges in 8 hours or so, sometimes 9. Yes, I'm suffering. Please, help me. I have no money to get a new phone, plus, I'm underage. I'm a girl.
PLEASE HELP ME!

Do you charge your phone with an extension lead ?

Try to calibrate your bettery, you said you bought a new battery, charge it till 100% and then download a battery calibration app from play store, calibrate the battery and see how it goes.I also have this problem, fast discharge but I calibrated the battery this morning and I can see the things go to better

What does that mean :silly:
Anyhoo, borrow someone else's charger + usb cable and see. If it doesn't work for you (but obviously works for other person) then you're probably looking at a faulty charging port (yes you said it right lol) or a malfunctioning power IC. I'd bet on the port tthough.
It's stupid, to wait 1 year until guarantee is gone. I suppose an internal hardware-defect.
