[Q] Charging problem

Hello people,
I got a GT-i9300 for about 7 months now and since yesterday i got problems charging it.
2 days ago i went to sleep and as always putted it on charge and i saw the charging notification. When i woke up ~8h later the phone was not charged at all and while connected it was not charging.
I tried reconnecting it a couple of times but nothing. I tried connecting it to a pc but nothing. Then i used the charger that came with S4 and after a couple of seconds it started charging, few minutes later it just stopped again. Reconnected it and it was charging, made it to 100% normally.
Today i tried connecting it again but now it won't charge, likewise i won't connect to pc the moment i connect it but after ~5m at least and it's only charging, the pc won't see the phone anywhere.
Also tried another S3 charger but nothing.
I only have official samsung chargers. 2 x s3 and a s4 one. None works on it at the moment while they work normally on my s4.
I tried it turning it off and removing battery but nothing, did a full wipe but still nothing.
The usb itself looks alright plus yesterday when i was charging it i moved the wire around a bit to check if it was the connection but it was not.
I was looking around the web but found nothing and the similar threads here ain't the same as my case.
Also the phone is on official firmware and not rooted.
Does anyone know anything about it ? I will most likely take it to service tomorrow but since i need the phone i would prefer not to have a ~5 days delay from them.

I have the same problem and the only thing that will charge it is a higher voltage playbook charger. I'm not too sure what the problem is but if you do get it serviced could you please post the cause of this issue?

Sadly i don't have a higher voltage charger plus i don't think it's a good idea to use that, at least not all the time.
Will take it for service tomorrow unless i solve it somehow. Will report back with what they will tell me.

I had previously flashed official 4.2 on my s3 but i reverted to the carrier official version, about 2 months ago. Any chance i will have problems with warranty with the flash count being 3 ?
I read that you normally don't have a problem but i want to know if someone had first hand experience with that.

This can very well be a problem. Your best option is to root and reset flash counter with triangle away. After reset, re install original firmware with Odin. If they do warranty fix it, it will be by replacing the motherboard, so if there is anything you need off of it, be sure to back it up on a computer. Also, flashing original with Odin can wipe the device so back up before then. If they look and see a custom flash counter of 3, your warranty will be void.

Alright, took it to service yesterday ( official samsung service ) and got it today. They changed the usb port and all is good, warranty had it covered.
I didn't reset counter before giving it but they either didn't check the counter or checked it and it was not an issue.

10.5 T805 weird reboots/battery issue?

Hi All,
Ive had the tablet for a week but for the last few days it keeps randomly rebooting and then the battery will suddenly go to 0%. The other night i charged all night then it only reached 11%.
Unfortunately O2 dont have stock at the moment so i cant swap it.. Ive tried an odin reflash and all sorts but to no avail.
If the tablet is in download or recovery it doesnt reboot..

seems like power ic faulty, try to run some intensive games, or benchmark app, or try app named galaxy charging current.
i had xperia z tablet with these symptoms, the power ic was bye bye.

Is that fixable or will I have to wait for a swap?

Ahh not fixable.. Worst thing is o2 have no stock anywhere

sorry to hear that.
try swap that unit w/ full boxed and accessories to samsung repair center in your area.
in my country, samsung repair center will swap any of their faulty devices if not repairable in one week tops.
i did swap new sealed note 2 from s3, 11 months of usage ( 1 month of warranty left ). samsung said s3 is out of production, so i was offered to choose s4 or note 2, but that brand new note 2 only got 1 month of warranty left.

I'll give them a call tomorrow see what they say

Hey Sathya
I think the issue could be with the battery but have you tried leaving it on charge for like 16hours. My Swift did that and I left it on charge and when I came home it was on. I guess the battery needed a JumpStart . if not just contact your supplier , they should be able to give you a new one

The issue is batteries not available and we dont knw same design and power where we can arrange alternate. Please if someone know let us know

Swift battery drains a lot after upgrading to CM-13 under OTA upgrade
Can someone advise on the battery problem I have after upgrading to CM-13 via OTA upgrade? The battery seemed to drain 3 times faster than CM-12 which came with the Swift.
Do I have to downgrade or reset to factory default?
Thanks.
NT

Well I just got round to upgrading to Crackling and I am having this problem. The phone used to last easily all day (14 hours) with power to spare. Now it lasts 6-7 hours and it's flat.

Note 4 rebooting randomly then not booting fully.

This is a serious problem. In the past couple of days, I have been using my note 4 and it reboots out of nowhere and will not boot again. I tried wiping cache, no dice. Tried factory resetting it, no dice. Used the Verizon official software repair tool, no dice. I even flashed it manually with ODIN and used a PIT file to re-partition it and that fixes it for a couple of days, but then it does it again.
Nothing will get the device to boot again, and it will not boot into safe mode either.
Does anyone have any idea as to what on earth is going on? I've had to put my SIM card in another phone that works.

Hello Macmaster2000, tried using another battery?
My current note 4 situation, though some battery/charging apps say the battery is "healthy".... when its not plugged in it will go into a boot-loop after about 1-2 hours of usage on battery even if it had 80-90% of battery life and it would still boot-loop.. but when it is connected to the charger it wont boot-loop..
Sadly, I don't have a replacement battery to tell you if that's the problem to my bootloops or other :\ worth a shot thou!

Well I just tried to plug it in and it works! Thanks man!
Also I talked to a friend and he said the exact same thing, so it looks like I'll be getting a new battery soon!

:highfive: No problem glad to be of help! :highfive:, my batteries came in(I've ordered 2 off amazon due to a bad past experience with my old nexus 4 when i ordered one. was a month without a phone . one from BinTek and the other sais its OEM but i say "yea right" as long as it works ) and as well it solved my problems! I just wish I Didn't factory reset my phone :crying: back to square one again ah well live and learn.
another thing to take a "note" of ; =D when i've reinstalled 5.0.1 i had a crash message along the side of "NFC crashed failed to respond" maybe our batteries aren't actually "dead" maybe faulty NFC chipet or whatever on the battery preventing it from staying alive (i truely dont know but this sounds suspicious..... it could be that our batteries were bottomshelf.... or.... *looks at samsung* )

I think the best batteries are from Anker, best sellers on amazon and I've never had a problem!
Also, not sure on the NFC crashing, I use it daily and haven't had an issue.

Lg G3 constant shutdown

Hey there im turning to the community for a bit of help...
First of all here is my phone info... Bone stock non-rooted
Lg G3 D-852 canadian version with Bell
Running android 6.0 kernel 3.4.0
Build number mra58k soft version d85230h
here is my issue, lately when i do random things on the phone it shuts itself down and goes into a bootloop.
in order to get the phone back on i actually have to plug it in and for some reason seems to short it back out of loop and into boot.
At first when it started it was booting up completely then shutting down 4 times. after that 4th time everything was good.
now it just stays stuck in a look until i shove a wire up its hole.
ive come to notice that most times whe it shuts down it seems to be when i try to do many things at once or load up a video...
sometimes even opening a picture will shut it down... it almost feels like when an overclocked system just ticks off.
im not quite sure where to go from here, phone is 2 years old but id love to figure this problem out
edit: yes i already tried a factory reset
edit 2: i just tried another factory reset.... now it wont even load up. itll boot all the way to the os (if plugged in) then shuts down and just says its charging... completely out of a phone now ffs

Try an Anker battery, worked perfect on 2 G3's I had, while both the stock batteries bootlooped.

sorry for your battery as well but heck ill give it all a try

well sunofagun.... i poped the new battery in and she booted right away like nothing ever happenned.....
have i ever told anyone i love the community thank you so much everyone

Very common. Batteries usually last a little less than 2 years for these then you need to get a new one. Thank God these have removable batteries.

i remember i had once gotten a new battery for my sgs2 but it was crap lol

I'm having problems with my screen, it gets dark and I do not know why, it can be without disturbing half an hour or maybe an hour, please someone who tells me why this may be this fault, I'm in MarshMallow
