Have any of you guys experienced the charging port on the bottom of the phone not working properly? Mine is not working reliably with numerous chargers. Was wondering if this may be a widespread issue or if it's just me
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.

it really prefers the 2 amp charger... it's a phablet after all... try the stock or tablet chargers (with the stock cable) I bet they work wonders

+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!
Using 4 different chargers on mine ranging from .5 amps to 2 amps. No problems charging.

Hello,
I picked up a Samsung oem charger from eBay and noticed it differs in output amps in comparison to the wall charger that came with the phone. The charger bundled with the phone is rated at 1 amp, but the one I just bought is rated at .7 amp.
Is it okay to charge the phone with the .7 amp charger? I'm afraid the phone will think it is 1 amp and miss calculate the charge of the battery. I don't know if this is something to worry about or not so I thought I'd ask. Thanks.
Phone: Galaxy S3 SGH-t999
ROM: CM10 Stable
Charger Model Numbers
1 amp = ETA0U61JBE
.7 amp = ETA0U60JBE
It should work just fine. May take slightly longer to charge though.

Will it really be that much longer in comparison to charging via USB? :cyclops:
Edit: USB via PC
Usb via pc is .5 amps
If it makes you feel any better I just received the OEM dock and it came with a 700mA charger not 1A. I agree that it won't charge as fast as a 1A charger but it shouldn't make that much of a difference.
It'll probably take 30% longer to fully charge with a .7 vs a 1amp

Quick charge mode and older ac-wall chargers
The store owner of where I bought my phone advised against using anything other than the charger that came with the phone. Mine is a Galaxy S4. Supposedly this came down from on high from Samsung. Supposedly, the phone does not differenciate between chargers and will try to pull max amperage when the wiring configuration matches a wall charger (looped data lines?).
For example, I have an old Galaxy S1 charger rated for 0.7 amps and my indicator app shows my phone pulling 1.9 amps through it when the cable is straight as can be. So far, I have not found this charger to become hot and there may be a possibilty of it catching fire since it is not designed for 2.1 amps that the phone is capable of pulling.
Someone I know used a car DC to USB adapter that was rated for under what the phone could pull and in short time the adapter itself either caught on fire or melted. Somewhere in between.
The phone will pull as much as it tests that the power chain can deliver and that is whether or not that power chain can safely deliver it. Proceed with caution.
Just bought an S3 without a charge and now I need to pick one up. Any suggestions for which one to get? OEM or aftermarket? Does the voltage matter or does the phone only allow 0.7A?

The transformer ( brick thing that plugs into the wall) has a Certain limit on the amount of amps that can run through it.
The more amps...more power. ... Faster charging.
I seen them go all the way up to 2 amps for car chargers.
90% sure the nexus 4 has a 1.2 amp limit in the stock wall charger.
I wouldn't recommend anything higher then 2 amps.
You might just be paying for false advertising or just have something dangerous.

I use several different ones
Personally I use the name branded ones but also have several chinese ones as well
Chinese 2.1amp I have several they seem to work
I would make sure to get at least a 1amp/1000ma cause they throttle, peak is actually 1amp so running flat out could be lower
I have several HTC branded chargers they work good (they are 1 amp) I see you sent your message from a Thunderbolt so I assume you have an HTC charger already
I use the charger from my htc incredible. GS3 charger and cable are still in the box. Htc charger works very well with the S3.

Anyone have any luck with the dual usb charging ports? Just got an android phone for work, so I was wanting to use only one charger (two cables obviously) to cut down on the stuff I have to carry around.

If it's a phone charger with Micro usb, it will have standard voltage.
Try to get a 2amp charger so that it has more than enough amps. Sometimes a 1amp charger will only feed .8amps or so. It's best to have more amps than needed especially for charging blocks that have dual usb output and if your charging 2 devices at the same time.
The S3 typically will draw as much as 1.13amps (during peak charge) with a wall charger that can provide that much. Certain Kernels and roms may cause this value to increase.
Ok so I never really paid attention to how long it takes my phone to charge 100%..
So last night I put my phone on the charger at midnight, woke up at 350am and it was at 55%....
It tok my phone about 5 1/2 hours to fully charge. Normal??
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Not normal... My son used to keep putting the charger tip in his mouth and it messed up the pins inside my charging cable.... Tried to clean it with a tooth brush and it worked for a few weeks but started undercharging again. Maybe the pins inside yours are dirty? Bought a new charging cable and it works fine now for me...

Yes I am.
Not sure if it makes any difference but, I have it plugged into an extension cord.
Would plugging it into the wall directly be it?

I have the same issue on jedi x 11 rom saber kernel I believe. When I'm on stock It takes 2 to 3 hours to charge fully. I use the oem charger that came with it as well. I would hate to stop using this rom for that reason.

Mine does the same thing. But I use a desktop dock. If I use just the oem charger and cord it charges fast though.
Adding on a usb extension or using a different usb cord slows it down though.

The computer didn't make a difference, but I took charger out of surge protector and plug directly into wall and it's charging like my stock that charges fine with the surge protector. Can't figure out why stock charges fine with surge protector and jedi x11 rom doesn't. Either way I found my solution.

Its because the dock charger is maybe 800ma output. The wall charger is 2amp charger. The wall charger is best for quick charge. It takes about 1-2 hours with perseus kernel.

Omg I have the same problem.
I tried charging my Note 2 last night before going to bed. Phone @ 60%. Woke up 7-8 hours later and it was @ 97%. I used an extension USB 3.0 cable (10-15ft) after the AC adapter then hooked up a BlackBerry USB to MicroUSB.
I thought something was wrong w/ my Rom since I plugged it into the wall to charge, and if I do anything w/ screen on, it would end up draining even though plugged in.
I plugged the phone to my comp, which uses the stock Note 2 USB cable, and it charges fairly fast.
My problem is I used to have a Galaxy S3 and Nexus S before that, and it never had this slow charging issue with the same AC adapter + extension + usb-microusb setup.
Im having the same problem .... I would put my phone to charge around 9pm with 20-30 percent and I would wake up at 6am and my phone would be at 80-90 percent charging ...

I installed some monitoring widgets that monitor input charge. I think something is seriously wrong with roms. The input rate is 1600-1800. However it is still taking forever to charge via stock oem wall adapter + cable. I have to reboot to have it charge normally. Not sure what's causing it. Will charge fine, but then after a day or so of use, it ends up charging super slow regardless of where I charge.
Just had my phone charge from 87%-93% in 30-40 minutes.
My Galaxy S3 charged almost twice as fast.

I use Battery Monitor Widget Pro. Also Elixir E2 widgets for tiles that show the charge rates.
Mine charges from like 10% to 100% in like three hours. Running JediM13.
Try cleaning your battery contacts and the contacts for the phone. Might help. Maybe your outlet output is lower? If you can, try cleaning the microUSB port. I usually try to clean my contacts regularly.
I don't know much- just throwing out random ideas
those with slow charge, should try getting a new usb cord. even if your phone is charging doesn't necessarily mean your micro usb cable is 100% working. everytime i start experiencing slow charge i buy a new one and charge time goes back to normal. i've gone through 4 oem samsung micro usb cables since my s2 days.
I tried 3 cables and two charging blocks and it charges slow. I downloaded a battery monitor app and it says it's charging via USB port even though its connected to the wall outlet. What can I do to fix this? it just barely started.

My stock wall charger slowed down significantly after about 4 months of use. Now it only puts out about 400-500ma tops. It used to put out roughly 1700ma when new.
I have an old HTC mt4gs charger that is rated for 1 amp. It consistently puts out 1200-1350ma when charging the phone from below about 50%. I prefer that charger for most of my charging in a hurry.

sorry for some reason i can't use the quick reply.
i have found my issue of slow charging to be resolved by using a shorter usb cable. i was using the stock one and it seemed to slow down a lot after a few months. i tried the usb cord my wife uses, which is like 6ft long and it seemed to not charge at all. i then bought a short, 1ft monster usb cable and it charges so much faster. even faster than the stock usb cable
and rednewor
I've noticed that the shorter cables tend to wear out less rapidly as well. Wonder if it has something to do with there being less...well, cable...to get worn down from movement or whatnot. We used to go through our charging cables relatively rapidly, in just a few months, until we moved to short ones.
My last string longcord, though, hasn't been moved from its home since the first time it was plugged in, and is going on about 5 months without hassle.
