I had a similar issue. Turned out I was using a cord that wasn't letting enough power to the phone.

I had a similar situation where my battery seemed like it wasnt charging. My battery widgets and noti widget were not progressing in percentage. It turned out my charger was going bad.

My battery has some issue while I wipe different ROM
I noticed this issue only when I first flash a new ROM. It goes away, for me, after the first attempt at a full charge and has been charging 100% since.

My phone has been charging all yesterday and now its only at 36%. Last night it was at 99-100%. Before I went to sleep I put it on airplane mode (if that has relevance)
Also, is it normal that the device reboots when I try to turn it off while its charging?

When your phone is charging, your battery is not in use.
If you see it drop, then your phone is not charging
Sorry. I'm unrooted (stock).This phone is less than a week old. also I was using a external battery pack that was plugged in. I switched to.the USB charger that came with it and its fine. Could it be the battery pack,.even though I've charged many devices with it and haven't seen/noticed it before
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Try this...plug it up to the stock charger..then plug pinto an outlet..if it don't have any issues then bam there's your answer
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Sounds like your phone may have gotten wet recently. Best thing to do is remove the battery and let the phone sit over night next to a low heat source. After you pop the battery back in in the morning, let it charge back to 100% first.
Use the phone as normal. When it's time to charger the phone again, it should charge again with no issues
It hasn't gotten wet, but it was really moist once. I didn't notice any,problems after I charged it again with the stock (is that the term?) charger

if you are on AC then that's not normal
if you are on USB then that is normal if you have the screen on or using the phone while charging
Its USB to AC... So its not normal?

Lol your either using the wall charger or your not.
If you are using it, and your battery is going down, then it is time for a warranty exchange.

I just got a Nexus and rooted, etc, using the toolkit.
I've noticed that the battery will not charge all the way to 100%, no matter how long i let it charge.
Yesterday for example, i used the phone till it died, then connected the phone to the charger over night.
This morning i turn the phone off and see that the battery is only at 92%!?
How can i fix this?!
Currently running Vicious Jell Bean v4.
Perhaps this is why there is an option to clear battery stats in clockwork, yes?

That doesn't actually do anything aside from erasing your battery graph.
Yeah from what I've read, clearing the battery stats using CWM or some other calibration app, didn't take care of the whole problem.
Any other ideas?

Does the kernel you are using have BLX?
That can be used to put a limit on how high a battery charges, maybe you changed the value by accident or it was set that way by the dev.

Not sure but i didn't use any other kernel except the one that came with the Vicious Jelly Bean rom.
I just noticed that you can change the mAh capacity in the "Battery Monitor Widget" by 3C.. it currently shows that capacity is 1750mAh when the stock battery states 1850mAh. Should i change the value now and drain the Battery completely, then full recharge?

I think thats what is called, My phone never goes past 99% no matter how long i leave it there so now when it reaches said 99% i unplug it and re-plug it inmediately and it goes up to 100%
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
what the crap...
I super-wiped, deleted dalvik cache, and factory reset, and flashed the Rev' HD rom, and STILL doesnt charge past 92%?!?!
Perhaps its the "Battery Monitor Widget" from 3C and the data stored?!??
Same happened to me. And it's getting worse progressively - first it was charging to 89%, then it didn't go above 79, now I can rarely see it go over 60
Since day one my phone never got to 100%, it always stops at 99%...
My phone was able to charge to 100% within reasonable time. I've changed a few firmwares with full wipe, that didn't impact neither the ability to charge to 100% when it was able to do so nor the inability to charge fully when the problem surfaced.
I suspect that problems started after I dropped my phone (wasn't a hard drop, just a fall to a hard surface from 0.5 m, no visible damage).
Is it possible that the battery gets damaged somehow?
Same problem

Same problem here, my phone charge until 84% BUT:
I tried with a battery of my friend that was at 95% and my phone showed it 60%!
The issue is in the way that our phone measure the battery, but i already tried wipping bat stats and nothing...
I also wiped all the things and re-installed 4.2.2 and same problem
Why would you even bother eating your time wiping battery stats? It had absolutely nothing to do with charge indication.

How long does it usually take to charge your s3 fully? I ask because mine has always charged very fast but lately its taking sooo long to charge and I dont know why..what do you guys think?

with the standard charger came with S3, usually took around 2h30 to fully charge.
Mine used to charge super fast but now its taking soooo long.. its takin me an unusually long amount of time.. any body know what could be up ?

I can't really tell you a time exact but not that long. Last night I was at 50% plugged it in and charged completely in bout 45 - 1hr. I usually don't touch it tho.

Yes everything I use is official samsung came outta the box.. I had been flashin quite a few roms then went back to complete stock lj4 and it just seems like its taking way too long to charge.. ive never noticed this problem infact I was always alarmed at how fast it would charge

With the phone turned off, it takes mine about 2 hours to charge.
When you flashed this last rom did you wipe data/factory reset?

I have a Q: My rom (SlimRom2.9.0) has an option for Quick Charge mode, where it will charge faster but you loose USB connectivity functionality (for connecting to a computer).
Will the SGS3 also take advantage of a higher output (2.1a) USB charger, ala iPad chargers? Does the circuitry inside detect and is smart enough to adapt?
Look at the battery stats and see if something is hogging it. Get something like battery drain analyzer to see the percentage you're charging at.
You guys think it has anything to do with the stock lj4 kernel? My battery life kicks ass 4 hours screen on with 17 + hours of battery life.. still charging is slower than usual. Hmmmm

Mine takes about 2 hours from 15% sometimes I'll be playing a sandbox game and it will take much longer. Just don't unplug it when you plug it in.

Like most others on this post, my GS3 will take roughly 2 hours to charge.
Depends where I am charging from, usually I end my day with around 20-30% battery life still.

It could be. But to be sure id do the full cycle I mentioned before, and even consider flashing back to stock! Just for testing. You can always nandroid and go back if you like. Though a fresh rom flash may be better.

I use the charger from my 10.1 tab. I believe it runs at 5 amps. Definitely charges faster although I've never timed it by how much. If I charge it on the wall charger that came with my chinese batteries, it takes over 9 hours sometimes. Yet the chinese batteries only ever charge up to 91% on it's own charger, I have to charge the rest once I put it in the phone. Weird.
I just got my gs3 and when I unplug from the charger it goes trait to 99 percent and I haven't rooted yet anyone having same issues

Not a big problem. Sound like you should calibrate your battery. But I've heard of a lot worse.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
i have had the same issue since i got mine. it's nothing to worry about. all the reading and such i've done says it's normal. don't worry about it.
Drain battery fully till phone doesn't turn on... leave off. Charge over night. Do this for 3 tines.
Sent from my A510 using Tapatalk 2
That's because when you're charging your phone it starts to continuously cycle between 98% and 100% once it reaches fully charged state, this prevents overcharging the battery. Once it reaches 100% it will stop charging and discharge down to 98% before it begins charging again. You probably unplugged it during this discharge state and it just happened to fall at 99%. My phone is at 98% a lot of times when I unplug it.
I'm a give it a try thanks

I have been installing a lot of roms to test them out, I am currently using whompasarus 2.9 and when I plug my phone up at night it never charges above 20 to 25 % how do I fix this? It has never done this before.

Same thing happened to me two nights ago. It would charge intermittently if I reboot. I've tried a friends battery and mine in his, they work great. I think its the phone so im gonna unroot and take it in to sprint. Sux.
I think I have the same or a similar problem. My phone use to charge fast and now it takes forever to charge using the original cable and wall plug. Left it with 20% and in ~15mins it was still at 20%. Rebooted the phone and that seemed to do the trick.
