I recently bought a spare battery for my phone knowing that the original battery sucked. But the problem is I can't get it to work :crying:. Whenever I plug it into the wall charger. The front 3 touch buttons starts to flash but nothing happen. I tried booting the phone up and still nothing. Someone please help. I also tried googling it. still no go.

Leave it plugged in. You don't even have enough battery power to start the phone. let it charge for a bit

Sounds like the battery is faulty to me (assuming your original battery works fine with the phone).
The flashing touch panels means a completely depleted battery.
Are you using the stock charger that came with your Nitro?...You HAVE TO use the stock (or similar charger that pushes at least 1A, might even be 1.1A) in order to "kickstart" the battery to charge up from that depleted state.
You can also try a battery charger.
Another option is to buy a cheap generic charger, cut out the connector that goes to the phone, get the + & - cables apart and use it to charge the battery.
Btw if you HAVE to this either your phone faulty or the battery is bad quality. I hope is the battery. Completely drain your stock battery and try the same thing.

Has anyone else noticed that this is NOT 3800Mah.? I used it today and did notice an improvement but nothing great and it certainly wasn't as long as a large battery like thay should be. The extra inch isn't worth the extra battery. So for now its become a backup

Ok currently I'm leaving the battery to charge with my phone for the whole day and let's see what happens. I'm currently using an iPhone charger head and a microUSB cable. Is that ok? When will I know it's out of the dead battery state? Is it when it lights up to the battery charging screen? So sorry the overwhelming questions. I really do not know.

Use the lg charging block and cable that came with the phone. If you get nothing after a few minutes try removing the battery for a minute. Reinstall and try charging again. That could do the trick.

No, an iPhone charger will not work. You will only be able to get 0.5A (500mA) from an Apple charger when used with an Android phone (because Apple uses its own proprietary spec with USB charging). Any non-Apple charger rated at over 1A (1000mA) should work.

Should work. Keep in mind a 2A charger just means it's capable of drawing up to a maximum of 2A, but the Nitro HD won't actually use all of it. So it's safe to use a charger that is rated 2A.

Yeh looks that way so that means no new phone for a week as I have to wait for them to collect it then send me a new one, can't just take it to a store which is stupid
Checked the pogo pins with a volt meter and it's reading 5v no problem so power is getting to the phone it just seems dead. No battery life and it won't turn on

Charger that came with it but checked dock pins to make sure voltage is present in the phone which it clearly is
Does sound dead sadly, should have some charge if it came new.
Does it get detected as anything by windows even if off?
Any repsonse if you hold down the power button and both volume buttons?
Mine did the same thing when it was fresh out the box. I just left it on sharge for a couple of hours and the charge light then lit and it powered up. The battery was just very flat on arrival.
Did your battery warm up though? This ones cold to the touch
I think it's dead so already called for a replacement but gotta wait for it
In the meantime I will leave it to charge overnight but I'm not hopeful at all, be better if we could access the battery instead of HTC going all apple on us
As I got my hox, it was fully discharged too, and it took ca. 30 minutes to bring it back to life...

When I first got mine was at 15% battery, after 24hrs charging (original charger, laptop, Inc s charger...) nothing changed.
Ended up with a replacement but took optus Australia 3 weeks to replace it.
...
Try to change cable I have to do that because stock cable that came with phone is sh..t.One day just stop working.Now using NOKIA CA-101 and no problem at all fantastic build quality.With stock cable had that problem couple times
Even if it does not light right up, the battery should get warmer when charging. Like advised, try a different cable, if that does not work either, then there probably is no simple solution that you can solve on your own.
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.

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?

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.

The charge port on your phone is probably no longer operational. This has happened to my t989 as well. You need to get it replaced.

Could be bad hardware cause mine don't vibrate like his. Also xposed does phone to act stupid. Not for everyone but it does.
Its probably because the phone starts charging again when it hits the 99% mark (or close to 99%) then tells you its at 100 again. This phone doesn't have a pass through for power. If your phone is on its using battery even if its plugged in.

Different batteries but it could be my phone thats broke. All I know is this is the first phone I have owned that I can't remove my battery even though its plugged in.
There's been several of these same threads about the persistent battery notification in this forum as well as the general G3 forum, it's not Xposed or faulty phones. What it seems to be is the charger that's being used, most notably if it's not the OEM charger.
Some are saying it's the battery/phone dropping from 100% to 99%, then charging back to 100% and gives the notification. Others are saying it's just saying you're at 100% and flashing it once a minute or so to remind you.
I'm wondering if it's the charger, as when I'm home and it's plugged in on my old Note 3 2amp charger, I don't get that notification during the night when I'm sleeping.
But, when I'm at work and I'm using my Samsung 1amp cube charger, it keeps displaying and sounding that stupid battery full, unplug to save energy notification over and over.
It could be as ThePagel said, the phone is not getting the full power it needs from the charger, so the battery drops to 99% and charges back up to 100%, display notification, rinse and repeat.
That's why I'm assuming it might be the chargers perhaps.
Could be why I don't have this issue. Both my chargers are 2 amps or higher

This describes the problem perfectly. The charger I am using is a 2.1A charger, though, so I don't understand why it keeps doing that. I also don't understand how it could possibly be using enough power to actually discharge the battery down from 100% to 99% WHILE being charged even from a 1A charger. How much freaking juice does this thing need to use?!

I'm not trying to to bad mouth xposed or anything it is really cool but it seems like everything I ever tried to do with xposed is buggy. It really is to bad that most roms depend on it so much now a day's. I miss the hard framework modifications that worked perfect unless the developer made a mistake. But I do understand it can take a long time to add some of the stuff xposed gives for example reboot options. Sorry I just realized I went way off subject lol.
