Last night I shut my phone off around 11pm and went to bed. The phone was at 48% when I plugged it in. This morning, I woke up around 6am and thought it was a little odd that the light on my phone was still red. When I turned my phone on it was only at 82%. After 7 hours it only charged 34%. Does anybody have any ideas why? I am on the latest Jellybomb.
I did post this in the Jellybomb Q and A thread but I figured it might be better to start a separate thread as I do not think it is Rom related?
Did you use the charger that came with the phone or another charger? I've noticed that my phone will only charge properly with high amperage chargers.
This is especially true if something is going on in the background (e.g. Titanium Backup).

Yes I did, that is the weird thing. Also the phone was off, so nothing running in the background!
there are known issues with the security of the cable that comes with the phone, it might have been loosely inserted into the phone

Yup. The stock cable does not click wjen inserted, and doesn't even fit securely in the connector. I think I've noticed that my 2A HP Touchpad charger charges quicker than my stock N2 charger...problem with a device with great battery life, testing charging can't happen that often

Odd... I must have gotten a cable from a different batch, because mine definitely clicks. I wonder if Sammy fixed the problem by the time I got around to ordering my GN2 (I purchased mine from Sprint a couple of weeks or so ago).
Is it a problem with the cable or the connector on the phone?

My phone I got from local brick and mortar corporate Sprint last Friday all baggies in the retail box were factory sealed. Definitely a cable problem, my Touchpad charger clicks fine.

Similar wird thing also happened to me few months ago. Bought noname charger for my phone and always had battery problems.
I can also confirm that the stock cable doesn't click and it loosens very easily. I tried my s3 cable and that one is perfect. It isn't loose compared to gn2. Also hp charger does seem to charge any of my gadgets faster than usual.

are you using the original charger and cable? I had a similar problem with my vibrant. It only happened with cheap tired party cable/chargers. The phone was fine.it was the touch screen that was sluggish. I suspect a stay charge or ground effecting the capacitive measurements of the screen
thus the sluggishness.

Interesting you mention the outlet- I have had the same experience with erratic touch screen behavior when plugged in, and have had it with other devices including non-Samsung, but it seems to be random. But it happened today and I remember I was plugged into an outlet upside down. WOnder if it in fact did mess with the grounding or something and led to the strange touch screen behavior. Will try a few times and see if I can replicate and narrow down a constant....
I have noticed it as well. After seeing your post i realized it is only when plugged into the wall.
I've had this problem over multiple phones & multiple chargers.
I have the same problem, can't even unlock the phone while charging...
Before getting my SGS3 I used flashed a CM9 nightly and all was fine. After switching over phones the day of the release I put my phone back in its box in my desk. I missed it and wanted to play around, check out new development, and actually my first SGS3 was stolen off the bar so would have loved it as a temp instead of a BB. But anyways I picked it up and plugged it in... nothing won't charge no matter what, I left the battery out for about an hour plugged back in, left it plugged in over night nothing worked. The phone worked perfectly before I put it in my desk and it was untouched...does this sound done for or is there something I can try. Appreciate the help in advance.

Your battery may be fully discharged. Then mobile phones are incapable of charging them. This happened to me with old phones but not recently.
What you have to do is to remove the battery and apply highcharge to it.
Take a powersource which is capable of giving about 6-7 volts dc and connect two wires from it to +ve and -ve terminals of your battery. Hold it like that for about minute or two. Not more. Then try to charge the battery without turning on the phone. If don't work try increasing voltage upto 12v

It was the charging port, not quite sure how it broke over night without it being touched. Luckily my brothers girlfriend has the dinc2 so I trialed my battery in her phone and it started charging. Any fixes for the port is that a customer service issue?

It is pretty easy to replace the charging port. I did it last week, it only took about 10 minutes and you can get the charging port for $7 on ebay. There are guides and videos on how to do it.
There's a thread on replacing the USB port, its like an 8 dollar part

Recently my wife plugged her phone in for the night to charge it and in the morning it was nearly dead. I figured bad connection so I unplugged and replugged it and showed charging now. A few hours later and it was near the same percentage. It is obviously getting some power. I got it charging slowly last night. It was at 91 when I went to bed. This morning it did not say charging and the battery logs I had on showed it stopped charging twice. The first time it hit 100 and quit charging for about an hour and then restarted. The second time it hit 100 it stopped charging for the night.
Other things I have tried:
Swapped battery with the one in my phone. (also t989d)
Different chargers (4 so far)
Flashing a different rom. (Leaving it on the cm10 nightly that works on my phone for the moment)
Looking for physical or obstruction for the charging port. (None I can see)
Searching the forums. (Doesn't quite match some posts since it does sometimes charge but I am going to pick up a new can of compressed air in case of lint inside.
Anyone with bright ideas?

I have had similar problems with Kindle Fires -- my family has had to have both Fires replaced twice. The problem with them is that the connections to the USB port break. I would think that the same thing could happen to just about any device that uses a micro usb connector.
Have you tried a different wall socket or charging with a computer?

This is what we are afraid of. We tried charging via the computer and it didn't seem to work.
After a reboot it is slowly charging off the wall outlet with the original charger. Much slower than it should but it is charging.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
You need to replace the charging port. if your phone is still under warranty just get it replaced.
Same thing happen to me the part is cheap to replace but you have to be careful when you take apart your phone so you don't damage any of the flex cable connectors.

I've come to the same conclusion. You make it sound easy to do. Is there no soldering etc?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
There is soldering and I would take it to a professional to get it replaced if I were you. It will cost a bit more, but at least they "know" what they are doing because your limited experience can easily damage the circuit board reckon it unusable.
Yep. I've done some home soldering in the past but those were all with things that the parts to replace the whole item were under $20. Waiting on a reply from a local shop

Only issue I had was that my phone would lock up using a SG3 charger so stopped using it.

I didn't charge last night and so I plugged mine in at work today with only 8% battery left. I checked it later and was down to 5%, my old Evo 3d charger didn't seem to do anything to it. I powered down, unplugged everything, removed battery and then reconnected and it finally started charging. It charges very slow at 1amp but it's charging now at least.

+1 to this! I was having the same problem until I realized that the charger that comes with the phone is 2amp. As long as I charge with that or my touchpad charger, I am good to go.

I noticed that the port may be a little deeper than some cables allow for. I haven't had a chance to verify this, but you may want to check the cable you're using for a good fit.

The real problem is in the charger itself. I tried using an HTC charger and it was a no go. The stock charger is a 2 AMP version and that is the way to go. It actually charges quite quickly on the appropriate charger.

I've used Blackberry, HTC, Motorola chargers... all worked for me.
I've had my phone for about a week and I am also experiencing issues with the charger port. It happens randomly. I would connect the charger and it wouldn't charge but if I try again moments later, it will charge. I also experienced it go from charging to not charging, repeatedly. (My charger works fine, I tested it with other devices)

If it is not a 2amp charger, it is going to be an intermittent problem!

Anyone ever have a problem where the phone kept flipping charge mode on and off when a charger was connected even though the phone was still?
I know what you're thinking, bad usb port. But it's random. I can man handle the charger while it's plugged in and it charges fine throughout. Few minutes later phone is just sitting there and starts beeping like crazy as if the charger is being plugged in and out rapidly.
Something about this makes me feel it's a software issue.
Any ideas?
