Hey guys,
I read all the solutions but none of them works (somebody just says to reboot the phone, somebody says that it needs a charging cyrcles etc).
I have myd esire that stops charging at 99%.
If I unplug the AC (after like 12 hours), and then I replug it again, it finishes charging at 100%.
is there something I can do?
Had you done the wipe battery states already or you hadn't done it?
Swype is ruining my life!! :|

Time for some myth debunking I see.
Hey !
Actually, the charging process of most devices is to fully charge the battery up to 100%, and then to let it be discharged as if it were disconnected down to 90%, then charge it again back to 100%, and then let it discharge to 90% and so on...
This system allows to preseve the battery's lifetime because li-ion cells (and cells in general) don't like to be charging even at 100%
there is DEFINITELY something wrong with my phone: I had the battery at 28% (I read the percentage with battery calibrator), and now, after 1 hour, is at 35% :O
Charging a battery is obviously a chemical reaction - if you unplug it, the reaction stops, plug it in and it restarts.
Meaning:
If your phone stops charging at 99 % the chip on the battery reports its fully charged. If you un- and replug it the process starts again and the battery needs some time to send a fully charged report. If you check your battery the its somewhere between 98 and 103 % of the rated capacitance your battery is fine.

Delete your battery stats, charge it an entire night. Do you use the genuine charger? If the battery is still not fully charged then its most likely the battery. If it charges to 100% - but very slowly - its your phone or the charger.

I deled the battery stats yesterday night, but nothing changed.
the battery is genuine and new!and by new I mean that I bought it two days ago...
I don't use the geuine charger, I have the USB on the wall, why?
Try charging from a PC usb port instead of a wall charger. I only have anecdotal evidence, but I find that the battery lasts better when charged slowly from my PC than when charged while plugged into the wall (true for my Sony X8, also appears to be true for my Desire which I've had for less time). It takes probably 5 times longer to charge on a PC vs. the wall plug which I assume has something to do with it.
If you're on rooted sense rom, there are kernels which support USB fastcharge.

Sorry I'm a noob. Wut is dat ?
Just flashed to CM10.
My battery wont charge above like 85%?
Also how do I calibrate the battery correctly!

What are you using to charge the hox? Stock charger? USB? Third party charger? How long have you left it to charge?
I've found from 80% and up, it can take between 4-6 hours on mine to reach 100%.

Stock charger...
I'll leave it for 30 mins and see if it has done 1%.
The phone still says charging but the brighter light have come on!
i had bought xperia arc s yesterday and i charged the battery fully charging and it was finished by just 3 hours and 13 minute
what is the solution ??

Since you bought it yesterday, I'm gonna assume you were playing a lot with it and installing numerous apps? Thats the only reasonable cause I see. Try it for few more days, and let it upgrade to latest software via PC companion, if not done already (the latest software extends battery life a lot)
Stock battery charge is only goof for a short span of time. Drain the battery completely out of juice thwn charge it. You'll get max power on the initial charging.

its a new battery..so give it some time to adjust..new batteries require few charging and discharging cycles before it gives its peak performance..report here after few weeks if you are still having some problem.
battery callibration method might solve your problem..
My GS3 takes about 3-4 hours to charge from 0% to 100%. I am on stock and am using the OEM wall charger that came with the phone. Is this normal?
Mine takes around an hour or two I believe it used to take around the same as yours but it doesn't last as long. But how long does yours last

Mine take over 2 hours from 5% to 100% using stock wall charger,,, 3 to 4 seen like a lot.
The answer is... it depends.
If you're charging with the phone on, it will take longer, if you're charging via a usb port, it will take longer.
If the phone is off and you're using the stock wall charger, you're charging at a maximum of one amp. If you have a stock 2100mah battery (2.1 amp-hours) and your charger is 100% efficient (never happens), the best possible 0-100% charge time is... 2.1 hours, it really is that simple
Now, you're not getting 100% efficiency, plus the way lithium batteries charge, at around ~50% capacity, the charge current steps down gradually from 1 amp to nearly 0 amps, so your real full charge time with phone off is probably going to be closer to 4 hours than 2. The step down is necessary to avoid over-charging. The logic (usually in the battery itself for phone batteries) to determine full charge is when the battery reaches 4.2 unloaded volts. Charging current will increase the voltage reading, so as it gets closer to full, charge current is gradually stepped down to maintain the 4.2 volt full charge state. As the current approaches zero and volts stay at 4.2, the charge controller knows that the battery is full.

I always drain completly my battery then I charge it for 8-10 hours even if it is showing 100%

3 hours is the average using the included 1amp A/C charger.
Charges 10% about every 15 minutes for 0% to 90%, and charges the last 10% in about half an hour.
(don't bother trying to charge using your computer's 0.5amp usb port, though; takes forever, especially if you're using it while charging)
There are reports that the charger that came with the s3 is garbage.
I was using the s2 cable to charge and it took approximately 1.5 hours.
Now it's taking 3 - 4 hours.

The charger that comes with the S3 is NOT garbage. I tested charging times against a "better" 2.1amp charger about a month ago and there was no difference. (If your custom kernel supports "fast charge", then there'll be a difference, but your battery will suffer. Better to stick with 1amp)

That doesn't make any sense. I think you're just not remembering correctly. Test again and report back.

Flashed JB today. Phone currently charging. Started charging at 2%, now at 41% and it's been 45 min. Estimate completion time, 1 hour 45 min.
So the culprit is not the USB charger, but rather something I had installed on ICS. I suspect it is the launcher I was using, which was GO launcher. Prior to JB, i was using apex and it was charging a little bit faster than GO, but still wasn't acceptable. I think it was 3ish hours for full charge.
My current JB setup is pure stock launcher and apps.
With stock charger it takes my phone approximately 2.5 hours to go from 5% to 100%.

I can confirm that,my AT&T S3 has been charging with that charger for 6 hours and I am still showing a 50%,so I had to grab a Motorola charger and it went up from 50% to 73% in half an hour.
Freaking Samsung,there's always something.
I'm on Slimbean 4.2.1 RC1 w/ lean kernel and my phone will usually last (with average daily use) about 3 days on one charge. The rom/kernel supports fast charge so I can get it from 0-100% charge in under an hour and a half. On stock rooted rom I was getting maybe a day and a half of battery life. Darned AT&T bloat lol

So how do we decide the most efficient charging method possible? How do we look at the Amperage of the battery and the amperage of the charger and decide what's best?
Also what's faster? Wall charging or fast/quick charging to a USB line?

Fast Charge will make it charge the same speed the wall charger would (but breaks storage mount while it's turned on).

:good: I started charging my s3 at 8:30AM this morning. and at 5:50PM it's showing 96% charged. taking 9 HOURS! to ALMOST CHARGE?? I ALREADY REPLACED THE BATTERY ONE TIME WITH ANOTHER ONE. BOUGHT THE PHONE NEW FROM METRO.
SO MAYBE YOU ARE RIGHT THE CHARGER IS GARBAGE. I WILL TRY ANOTHER WALL CHARGER AND SEE IF IT WILL CHARGE FASTER.
THANKS! FOR THIS POST!

This doesn't mean you battery is "on charge" for all the time... once the battery is 100%, the charge changes to something called "trickle charge". At this point charge does not happen continuous, but like a trickle to maintain the 100%.
Pull the phone out at the end of 8 hours of charge, and notice how quickly it goes to 99. Pull it like 10 mins after it says full, and it takes longer to go to 99%.

Higher amps charge battery faster... but... at the cost of capacity... At approximate 10% more charge than the battery is optimized of, it kills the battery by as much as 30% sooner. So its not really worth that. At the same time lowering the amps by 10% increases life by about 20-30%.

I have two S3 phones, and am using stock wall charger and stock cables, and never had an issue thus far.
It takes me 1 hour to fully charge mine but it's only two months old.

1 hour is like kinda too low... non stock charger?
My s2 takes approximately 3.5 hours to charge. Why? Btw, is it bad for the battery if after the battery is fully charged, it's still plugged for approx 6 hours almost every day?

did you try it on stock rom?

its probably cause sometimes because of hardware issues.
