Check the AC charge Current in ur kernel settings maybe uve accidently set it below default. Ideally it has to be 1100 but 1300 works without any issues for me.
Charging speed will also vary upon Output current of ur charger. Stock sIII charger outputs 1A Which should charge your phone in approx 3hrs. Time will reduce considerably if u purchase a 2A charger.
A bad Battery or Corrupt Charger can also be the issue. So try to experiment with different chargers. also check if Battery is swollen( Happend In My case)
lastly Miscalibrated Battery will also show u improper readings so try to callibrate it with battery calibrator

Mostly it has to be Amongst Kernel Settings or FAULTY charger

Stock standard charge time multiple answers about 3 hours .

use usb cable from Nokia phone:good:

Phone takes more than 24hrs to charge

My phone has to charge more than 24 hours to fully charge...I'm using the stock wall charger and i'm on KitKat 4.4.2 Teamsek unofficial v42 using Boeffla Kernel 2.2 beta1. What to do ?

Maybe the charger or just the cable may be faulty so you need to check first.
Second, if you are turning off wifi from the toggle, then try turning it off from the settings manually. If you think this is related to the ROM, then you can ask in the relevant thread for assistance.

How do i reset my battery and deep charge ?
1. Slow charging is because bad charger (if you have root and for example Boeffla kernel, you can force fast charge).
2. Wifi always on is because you have set in wifi -> advanced ->always allow searching for accurate location.
The names of path and settings are probably wrong, because i have Czech language, so i dont know how it is called in English.
Solution:
1. buy new charger
2. turn off searching wifi for location purposes.
Before buying a new charger altogether, you can just test what happens if you try to charge it via usb port, you should have a microsd cable lying around somewhere. USB ports only give 500mA but it should still charge in a few hours.
If it still doesnt charge, it might be either the charger module in the phone or the battery. I had a faulty microusb input in my old i9100, it prolonged charging hours.
charge to 100%,open rootexploer ,find /data/system/ba tterystats.bin,delet it,never charge it until it drains completely。
Switched chargers and now it charges in 3 hours...
Since you're on Boeffla Kernel, you can download and use "Boeffla-Config" and increase the AC charging current from 1100 mA to a higher number and turning off Ignore Unstable Power and Ignore Safety Margin.
And increase USB charging current from 475 to 500 mA this will provide you with faster charging speeds.
P.S Increasing USB Charge Current To anything beyond 500 mA has no effect on USB 2.0 ports since these ports provide only 500 mA output current no more.

[Q] battery problem

Hi.
I have my razr almost one year and from last few months I have problem with battery. My soft is slim kat.
When I'm charging with orgiginal charger battery is charging to 100% and than charger making nosie (whistle) and I think it's not normal so I changed charger and using now a little bit different (lower volate but just a little bit) that I got from last phone... but when charging and let say is 40% and than will unswer the call or disconnect from charger than bettry jumping to 100% but when going to recovery than is showing that 40% but when reboot again to system than system is showing 100%... how to fix it ? why it's like that ?
and one more think before I tried to calibrate bettery so download soft plug my phone to old charger and was charginf to 113% !! why ?

You should use the original moto charger. Might be that yours faulty, should get a new one.
Also, once let the battery discharge completely. Then turn it off and give it a full charge.
After that, try keeping your battery between 20%-80%..And once in a while, do that full discharge-charge cycle.
ok will try to find exactly same charger, didn't know that little bit different charger can make problems...
I always discharging my phone to 15-20% and than charging...
Will try to charge when is off as you said as well...
thanks,

[Q] Battery Wtf

So i just played with Custom ROMs to find the best for me...
But from one point my Phone f*cked up the battery detecting...
CM9 and CM9 detect the battery at 45% and then he Level instantly just drop to 0%...
I cant even restart my phone, so i guess the battery really went out...
So how can i fix, that the ROM would not detect it 45% but 3-4% ?
And let me fully chage my phone ?
Stock rom Always Detect it 100% and then randonly the phone shut down in random times (cuz it drops the level to 0%)
I've tried the "Fully-Charge, Fully-Discharge" But the ROM still detect the Battery wrong...
Even tried to delete the battery stats...
Any solution, or idea ?
I currently use CM with the built-in CM9 kernel...
I think its battery problem.use a new battery.ur prblm will be solved

How old is the battery? What charging cable are you using and what is the cable plugged into?
If the battery is more then a year old it could be 'tired' and not holding a charge correctly (trying another known good battery in your phone will determine this, as will trying your battery in another phone, and if it works well you may have more issues to deal with). If you got the phone second hand, you have no way of knowing the battery's history. Repeated overcharging is also not recommended, as well as leaving the battery in very hot places as it can damage the onboard circuitry in the battery.
Cheap aftermarket (non OEM) USB cables are not that great imo, they are generally not as well made and soon get loose connections, resulting in poor connectivity (charging with a bad cable can also damage the battery). Always use the original cable or a good quality aftermarket one, like Belkin.
Charging the phone from a USB port on a PC or laptop (and/or via a USB hub) is not as efficient as charging it directly from a wall mains USB adapter, because the power often gets interrupted. Ideally for the best charge you should turn the phone off and use a wall/mains socket USB lead, so as give a direct, constant, power supply to charge a battery. A typical full charge is done in two hours. If you charge this way and the battery still has issues buy a new one.

First of all, the Phone is manufactured in 11W41 (2011 Week #41) and the battery in 11W39 (2011 Week #39)
I use a tipical Micro USB charger which does not connect to the wall with USB but the cable directly integrated into the adapter...
And the phone's shipped official cable to charge throught my PC...
The battery worked fine before i forgot to delete battery stats and flashed a ROM...
After that, all ROM is getting fake battery data...
After using my phone i noticed:
-When the phone displays 70-80% charge, the battery actually have 10-15%
-When the battery reach 0% the phone not just jumps to 0% but the Phone shut down within a half second (as no more energy)
-When i charge it to 3-4% the phone show 80% again...
-So i can charge it to about 10 or max 15% when the OS detect 100% and does not charge it further more, which prevent me from properly re-calibrate the battery stats, cuz 10-15 will be always the max charge of the battery...
Now i'm looking for some kind of Mod / App that fake the Battery level to the OS (for example lock it to 5% and the OS continue to charge the battery) i know its dangerious cuz if i'm not aware i'll overcharge it and it will die permanently, but i have no better idea ATM...
Update: Sometimes after my phone dies from no remaining electron in the battery It displays 5% charge when i switch it on while connected to a charger (the only way i can switch it on) And starts to increase.. (5-6-7-8 etc..)
But sometimes it instantly jumps up to 70-80% if i think right when the screen switches of..
So i enabled "No-screen-off-whili-on-charger" and letit charging..
Will notice you about the result...

try reflash stock.ics ftf should fix this
Already tried, the Stock rom always showed 100% charge, and when the battery ran out, just powered off...
(Jumped from 100 to 0 instantly)
As i mentioned, in the reply you quoted, today it started charging from 0...
It went good, but somewhy, it just stopped at 26% and not a single volt went into the Battery...
As i Pulled out the Cable, the indicator jumped to 100 instantly...
Can you link several stock ROMs ?
I've tried with the 4.0.4 Android
but maybe the 2.3 can still work with it...

but i think theres some HW damage. even if not rhe battery maybe some config chip is broken or whatever on the board. normally flashing a stock.ics.ftf resloves all software issues, as its resets all stuff to factory..

Galaxy S3- Charging Very Slowly On All ROMs

Hi guys.I have a problem for a long time.When I plug the charger to phone charging very slowly.I tried many roms it not changed anything.I flashed boafella kernel and looked charge status.It showing charging with 100mA.I tried changing my charger first it worked but now slow again.My sister bought an S6 and S6 charger worse than normal charger.When Im using the boefella kernel (Im changing the charge rate to 1600ma and forcing it) I can charge in 3-4 hours.When Im not using its chargin in 22+ hours.What can I do?
Guess its time to get yourself a new battery.
New battery is not going to solve this issue as I too have the same problem & have an original new battery replacement.
I changed the charging port.I hope the problem will fix now.

See if it resolves, else other could be an issue with charging ic.
Ok Its still same.Its charging on 1100ma when the plugin charger but after 10 min its dropping to 100ma and not charging anymore.Am I need new battery or what?
I have the same problem.. Charging is so ****ed up with my Galaxy S3 . I use Boeffla Kernel and crank the Input Volt to 1400 Mah. I think our Beloved phone is getting Old.

Yeah :/.I will wait until 4.5G comes to Turkey.But why its not charging Im really wondering.
If your charging current drops & don't want any hardware fix then you can use Boeffla Kernel & switch on the Ignore Unstable Power & Ignore Safety Margin, and keep AC Charging Current at 1000mah or above.

Quick charge not working on 9.6.25?

Guys recently i just noticed my device charging slower tham usual with the stock charger as well as other qc 3 certified devices and it also dsnt show the quick charge logo in the notification drawer!!!

download amps app and check current rating feed to your phone, fast charge > 2500 mA, if lower, try change your charger.

After the update mine also shows 3hr's to charge and slowly charging. I brought the phone 10 days back and updated to this 9.6.25 a week and facing this problem.
Have no problem at all with Poco f1 Miui 9.6.25. Charging time is around 1hr 45 to 2 hrs if not mistaken.

Try to charge below 50% from current battery level.my stock charger rating 5V 2.5A..can get around 2.2A reading from app.
Its starts slower then it gets faster , from 10% to 100 % in under 2h , so its working properly.

Don't worry its just a software issue I just flashed the miui 10 beta Rom and now everything is fine it shows the QC logo also
Me too facing the issue. In the screenshot, charging at 18% and showing 920 mAh
Me too facing the same issue and i am on Miui 9.6.25 as well.
I just had a chance to check it, as I recently upgraded to 9.6.25. Well, no changes for me - there is QC icon next to the battery and Ampere shows current reaching 2900 mA.

You guys don't use the search function on the thread and just keep on making new threads about the same issue.
It has been well documented now that the charging slows due to thermal throttling. The hotter the phone the slower the charging. If anyone wants to test this, charge your phone for 5 mins before an air conditioner and measure the charging speed using the app called 'Amps'.
You should see the charging speed at around 2700-2800mah provided your phone temperature is quite low.
Otherwise, take a chilled watter bottle from your fridge and pour it generously on a towel. Now place your phone on that towel and charge you phone. As soon as the temperature starts falling to around 32-34 degree celsius, the charging speed will increase.
This is built in safety feature. The charging slows when the battery temperature is around 36-37 degree celsius as per my observations.
Cool you battery to around 30 degrees using any method you can and then check the charging speed.
Not your charger, not your cable...its mostly the charging algorithm with built in thermal thresholds which is at play here.
DO TELL ME YOUR TEST RESULTS.
I just found this thread - I have similar problem but it's rather not connected with temperature.
After one of software updates I discovered that quick charge is not working. Maybe it wasn't connected with update but this is how I see this.
I was waiting for software updates and hoping that they will fix my problem but nothing was changing.
Recently I decided that maybe factory reset will help, but unfortunately no.
After this reset I was checking many chargers and it appeared that with laptop charger (with USB C output) quick charge works! I was checking parameters in application 'ampere' and there is information that this charger is AC, and rest is USB. So it looks like QC works but....
Please help, how can I make quick charge works again via standard quick charge charger.

Iam in 11.0.5.0 global rom can any body confirm if its a rom issue or my specific issue
I want to clarify that my Poco on fully stock 11.05 charges as fast as any previous version of MIUI.
I take care of my battery. Charge till 80 and never let or go below 20.
If you can maintain the variables, and it still charges slow then you have issues with battery IC or the battery itself.
The highest I got without ceiling fan and without ac is 1590 mA. Maybe I got higher other times but I installed the app just for this post.
Don't rely on software reporting.
Do you have a multimeter?
Ambient temperature plays a HUGE role when it comes to battery, even if it's 1 degree more or less.
