Spilled water on my bedside table, got all over the chargers and surge protector. Unplugged and dried for 12 hours. Then I plugged the galaxy USB cord into the transformer tablet wall charger, and my galaxy charged! 10 minutes later I realized this was wrong and corrected, but am worried I screwed up my phone somehow?

You will be fine. I charge mine off like 6 different charges. Two are for tablets and one is for a nook color. It actually will charge it faster but the charge won't last as long. You phone knows how to regulate voltage.
Everything will be okay.

The transformer puts out both 12 and 5 volts depending on what's plugged in, I have the transformers and have charged multiple phones off it including an iPhone eeeek

Alright-I'm wondering what happened here.
Phone died last night, I quickly powered it on and plugged it to the charger and went to bed.
I woke up a few hours later and the device was incredibly hot and none of my widgets were loaded; they displayed the problem loading widget message.
Also: Is anyone else having the grounding issue while charging, the touchscreen is innacurate and unresponsive only while charging from a wall charger, if it is charging via usb from a PC it works perfectly fine, albeit charging much slower.

Get sprint to give you a new charging cube. It's the culprit for your charging issue.

Did you happen to have the phone in bed with you? Personally I don't recommend doing that just like you shouldn't with a laptop because the phone will get hot from the charging and the sheets will just amplify that. I'm guessing you already tried restarting the phone. Try to just have the phone sit for like a half hour with the battery out and then see what happens.

The wall charger that came with the phone is 1A Some people on the forum had the same problem. There was a "fix" you plug the phone in, turn off the screen what 30 seconds turn the screen back on and presto. What i found is if you user another charger say 0.7A charger like for the nexus s you shouldn't have the issue.
No, it was on my desk on a thin cloth.

Hey Guys
When I try to charge my E4GT with any car charger from the middle consul charger of my Prius 2005 my phone shuts off after a min or so. sometimes it is good for 10-15 min but eventually it shuts off and goes on the battery charging screen, which usually is not really even charge.
The problem is more obvious when the phone is low on power like below 40% battery.
I have tried different ROMs Calk, Recalk, Blazer ICS and they are all the same.. so not a ROM issue..
any one with Prius has this issue?
any one has this issue with another car?
Any way around it?
I have tried bunch different car charges and even a auto adapter to USB cable plus a regular USB cable.. no difference..

Sounds like the car is using the phone battery. :laugh:
Outlet maybe? Never had mine restart on my vehicles.. of course.. none are hybrid tho.. Does it do it in any other vehicles? Is your battery Buldging? (Spin test it)
Your car was recalled. That was def the problem, no doubt. Lol just messing

Have you tried a different battery? Lots of e4gt batteries have been dying lately and that's what happened to me when I would charge my phone when it was low. Check for bulging!

never tried it with anther car.
I have 3- 4 batteries and it does not matter which battery I use
it never happens when charging with laptop USB or a wall charger...
P.S. I love my Prius saved me from standing in the 4 hours long gasoline line during storm... 2 weeks with no gas and I was going all over with it... the only reason all cars are not hybrid is the big oil companies and Washington...

wrong post
so today I tried charging my phone in an infiniti and the same thing happened...
on the way back home I decided that I wont charge it and boom it happened again, phone turned off..
it must be the phone right?...
NO...
I FIGURED IT OUT AT LAST!
when I charge I put the phone in the cup holder upside down so I dont put pressure on the charging dock with the cable in it..
when the phone is upside down in a car cup holder while driving the power button gets pressed to the wall of the cup holder and shuts off the phone after a long hold...
That was stupid... but I feel smart finding the cause...
so do not put the phone upside down in the cup holder..

Not to mention the expense and environmental havoc related to the production of lithium batteries.

Out of the blue I noticed my S3 was charging very slowly, it even was losing a charge while it was plugged in while I was using it. I figure it had something to do with my custom ROM so I reflash, still same outcome. The battery was still holding a good charge, so I figured it was something else. I then went out and bought a new charger, which came with a micro usb cord to see if that helped. Plugged in the new charger while using my old micro usb cord, still same outcome. Then used the new micro usb cord and old charger, charging went back to normal, problem solved! I would of never thought that the cord would malfunction from day to day use after such a short lifespan. Moral of the story, check your cords if you experience the same problem, it could save you some time and money!
I had the same issue, however it did not matter what cord I used. I cleaned all the pocket fuzz out of the charging port, and still no go. Ended up returning to stock and sending in for warranty. Mine had a bad charge port. Is a common issue with the S3.

I have the same issue. The stock charger was taking 6-8 hours for a full charge, I just recently got the 7000 MAH zerolemon battery. It takes almost an entire day to charge that. I bought a different Samsung charger and it charges within 4-5 hours, which isn't bad seeing how my phone lasts almost 2.5 days. They say not to use any other charger for the S3 because the stock charger charges the Lithium ION cells or whatever and using any other charger starts to diminish them after prolong use. But hey, I can't wait an entire day for my phone to charge. I suggest you get another charger. I have a HTC micro sd charger and it charges pretty quickly.

I'm having the same problem, but I've never heard before that this is a common issue.
Do you have any reference for this?

Hello everyone,
I am currently going through hell with my sph-l710. This all started a few days ago.
My phone refuses to charge sometimes, but the charging light comes on. I have never gotten the phone to charge above around 20%. I took it to sprint. First they said it was a software issue but they wouldn't look at it because i was on a custom rom (Liquidsmooth) and rooted. So I went home and did a reflash of md4 via odin.
This didn't fix the issue.
So I went back in. This time, they said it was the battery. So I bought a brand new battery.
That didn't help the issue.
So I went back in, and they said they had to keep in for an hour to see if I simply needed a new phone. When I came back, they said it worked fine on multiple chargers and they got it up to 56%. So I came back home thinking maybe they were just covering their asses for the previous times they couldn't figure it out.
That didn't help the issue.
It once again wouldn't charge and while I was bored I flashed cleanbean v4.0. Still not charging properly. I noticed that while it was plugged into my PC, it got up to like 30% so I got excited, but when I rebooted the phone after unplugging it, it went down to 17% immediately.
I'm literally pulling my hair out over this. I have used my mom's charger for her htc evo and that won't charge it either.
Can someone pelase tell me what in the world is wrong with my phone??
Cheers
The charger, do not use a charger for HTC, make sure you use the charger that came with the phone. USB charging from the computer is slow. But your wall charger should have it fully charged within an hour. If not then your charger is bad or the cable is bad.

Check the port on the phone for pocket fuzz, Try a different usb cable, try a different charger. It's likely one of these is the problem. If not, is your phone running hot? If so, maybe an app on the phone is drawing so much current that the charger can't keep up. What does the battery usage display in settings say? Does it show something eating up battery that shouldn't be?

I used to think the same thing, but when I use my Kindle's charger or my old Evo 4G's charger, my phone doesn't charge, it just maintains the same level. My Palm Pre's charger, though, works like a charge. The Funkiest Ed wasn't saying that only Samsung chargers would work, but that it's likely the charger doesn't work anymore.
So I immediately fell in love with the fast charging capability of this phone. Unfortunately ive noticed its not charging as fast as it used to. I ran it down to 2% yesterday and put it on the charge. I get the slow charge in the notification, which ive been getting a lot, so I unplug and replug and it dosent return. 2hrs later I'm at 28%, when I wake up to go to work its only at 91%, problem is I woke up for work at 10 and put it on the charge at like 3:45. Anyone else noticed this?? This isnt the first time its happened just never this bad... I'm using the stock charger. I tried others but same thing. Get slow charge, unplug then replug it goes away havent had a chance to test charge time withem yet tho. I think its the charger but wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue. I'm rooted and turned the thermal throttleing off. Any ideas?

Did you plug in wall wallet charge or notebook's USB cord? On wall it should charge in 3+ hrs
In my case I just swap the batteries of my F240 and don't know how much time it has to fully charge
Yeah I plugged it into a wall, then this morning i did the same thing and it went from 45% to 95 in 45min... dunno lol I'll try cleaning the leads it spends a lotta time in my pocket and the inconsistancy seems like something stupid like that lol

I've noticed sometimes that if it doesn't make a good connection it will say Slow Charge in the status bar. When that happens I just disconnect and reconnect.

I used a different cable from a Kindle because it was larger. Figured as long as it was connected to the same wall adapter the phone came with it would be fine. Unfortunately it looks like the only way to get the fast charge speed into use LG's cable which is way to short.

That would be weird if the cable had anything to do with it.

Oh I assure you it did for me. Try a generic cable or one from a normally allow charging device for yourself. I haven't tried a cable from any of the other large battery devices yet. I'd imagine a galaxy s4 cable or something would work.

Definitely does! Every android I've had would refuse to charge with the wrong cable. My wife's GS3 cable doesn't charge my phone with the lg charger. It just let's it use the outlet for power. Weirdest thing.:what:

For the record, at work I have a samsung wall charger and a cable from monoprice. It charges quickly, without a slow charge warning. At home, I'm using Samsung wall charger with samsung cable, and the same quick results. It doesn't have to be the stock charger/cable, just make sure it's one of quality.
