Takes me a about 2hrs. With the charging accessories that came with my phone. Are you using the original charging accessories?

Yes everything I use is official samsung came outta the box.. I had been flashin quite a few roms then went back to complete stock lj4 and it just seems like its taking way too long to charge.. ive never noticed this problem infact I was always alarmed at how fast it would charge

With the phone turned off, it takes mine about 2 hours to charge.
When you flashed this last rom did you wipe data/factory reset?

I have a Q: My rom (SlimRom2.9.0) has an option for Quick Charge mode, where it will charge faster but you loose USB connectivity functionality (for connecting to a computer).
Will the SGS3 also take advantage of a higher output (2.1a) USB charger, ala iPad chargers? Does the circuitry inside detect and is smart enough to adapt?
Look at the battery stats and see if something is hogging it. Get something like battery drain analyzer to see the percentage you're charging at.
You guys think it has anything to do with the stock lj4 kernel? My battery life kicks ass 4 hours screen on with 17 + hours of battery life.. still charging is slower than usual. Hmmmm

I would try to drain the battery all the way down, then with the phone off, recharge it back to 100%.
After that see if there's any improvement.

Been on the charger for 4 hours ive been using it and booting to recovery here and there and from 8% im still only on 85%.. so damn strange. Tonight im going to borrow my buddys charger and see if it improves.. but this sucks

Mine takes about 2 hours from 15% sometimes I'll be playing a sandbox game and it will take much longer. Just don't unplug it when you plug it in.

Could it be a faulty battery?

Like most others on this post, my GS3 will take roughly 2 hours to charge.
Depends where I am charging from, usually I end my day with around 20-30% battery life still.

It could be. But to be sure id do the full cycle I mentioned before, and even consider flashing back to stock! Just for testing. You can always nandroid and go back if you like. Though a fresh rom flash may be better.

I use the charger from my 10.1 tab. I believe it runs at 5 amps. Definitely charges faster although I've never timed it by how much. If I charge it on the wall charger that came with my chinese batteries, it takes over 9 hours sometimes. Yet the chinese batteries only ever charge up to 91% on it's own charger, I have to charge the rest once I put it in the phone. Weird.
Hey just trying to see how long using the stock ac wall charger does it take to charge from 0-100. I used to think it charge super fast but latley I feel likes its taking an eternity. I flashed few roms and stuff amd never noticed this. I did use another cord a few times before I noticed this.. could another non stock cord mess something up? Anyways. Any suggestions and info will be appreciated. Its charging at about 15% per hour.. not good at all.

Welly phone still takes an eternity to charge left it on the charger for 4 hours stock ac charger and it was at 87 percent only. Do u think its a battery or phone problem? Im biying a new oem battery but would this help me? I just need charging speeds back to normal its very frustrating takes about 5 min just to go up 1%

Kernels can affect charging rates, but I don't understand how they could make it "slower". Cables are also not created equally. Put your phone back on a stock Samsung ROM, either 4.1.1 or a n7105 4.1.2 with a stock kernel and stock ac charger with cable should get you from zero to hero in right around 3 hrs.
When you plug in your charger, check battery settings, make sure it says "AC Charging" not "USB charging". Every once in a while when I plug mine in it says USB. One night, when I plugged it in, it didn't even register any charge! I restarted my phone, and all was working again. I get a full charge in about 3 hours.

Thats the thing im stockd out even unrooted odind back to 4.1.1 tmobile stock using original charger that came with the phone still nothing. Takes forver to charge! And when I have the phone on it takes like 5 min per percent. And when I first got this thing no matter if I was using it or not it would charge so fast. I wouldnt be surprised if this thing is takin 5 hours from zero to 100. Ordering a new battery hopefully this helps

What does battery settings say when you are plugged in? AC charging? Or USB?

OK guys not sure whats been going on but i had around 8% left its been 4hrs or 5 and its only up to 78% thats a bit crazy if you ask me. Im running a custom Rom 4.2.1 i believe i feel like going back to stock...
Where did you get 4.2.1? The kernel in something that for off from what is in the usual development channels may have an impact on charging. I'd stick with 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 for current kernels.

I had this problem also when I had the note 2 for about a month...happened twice only though, not every time. I ended up returning that phone because the mic kept cutting out. I haven't had this problem on a new note 2 yet (been about 3 weeks). So there might be something wrong with the device, i don't know.

When you plug in the charger, double check that it says "AC Charging." I have plugged mine in and gotten mixed results:
1. AC charging
2. USB charging
3. Nothing
If I get #3, I restart and usually get #1.
You can also install a battery monitor app and check the log to see how much charge you are getting.

Was your phone just charging or were you doing stuff?
More importantly, what does it say for mA in the log.?
Can you post a screenshot of your log?
sent from my phabulous phablet using xda premium
If you were flashing a new rom or any big file. You should never flash below 50% percent. I did this the other day and it was just charging so so slow. So what I did was turned it off and let it charge. While that was happening I guess when it hits a certain percentage it automatically turns on. It turned back on and it was charging just fine. And also when your on the phone while charging the percent goes down for me as well.

I dont think your charger likes you ^_^ Jokes aside, is your charger going through an extension or straight off the wall? Maybe try a new extension or a different wall socket.

Something is wrong there. Easy candidates are:
Your battery
your charger
your cable
Do you have any way to swap out any of the above to see what it may be?
I had the same problem changed my cable out and now charges just fine its worth trying

Random input.....
I just happened to be charging my phone while browsing the forum yesterday when I came across this thread. I'm not having any issues I was just killing time and being lazy..
It made me check my battery and I noticed it seemed to be charging kinda slow. (I had been plugged in a while and hadn't gone up much) I checked battery in settings and it said charging USB. I was plugged into the wall outlet. Strange indeed!
I unplugged the usb from the phone then plugged it back in and it switched to AC. It definitely started charging faster after that.
I never would have thought to check this so I'm glad I was snooping around.
Just figured I'd share my experience.

I've had the same problem with slow charging every once in a while. I think it has more to do with the kernel and/or rom. I had times when it took overnight for the phone to charge. Now it charges full in about 2-3 hours.

A friend of mine told me that his Note 2 GT N7100 is charging from 20% to loo % in only one hour.
the Battery usage is Normal as it withstand 10 hours with heavy usage.
He bought it a month ago.
Is this normal or he should go back to the reseller?
He is using original charger by the way.
thanks for your help.

Firstly install Galaxy Current widget and check the current that is getting transferred how much Volts, Make sure you try this with the Wall out let as well as USB from your pc and make a note of it and let XDA know here and we will suggest if there is any problem or not.
also mention if its complete Stock or Rooted and What Mods are implemented ?
Ok I'll do this first and let u know.
Thanks a lot.

i have to charge my note2 for 4 - 5 hours.
Is it normal? i want to charge faster. What should i do?´
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Average normal charging time from 0 to 100percent is 2hours, regardless of the rom, from an AC wall charger. And about 4hours from a USB connected to the computer. 1hour is very unusual, I would suggest doing a full system wipe and reinstall the rom. If the charger is delivering above normal current then it may damage the battery in the long run.

Hi today found out that my note is acting strange whenever I try to charge while its on it wont let me the charging icon shows with a big red cross on it and wont charge a bit it just keeps draining. Tried while its off and it works normally , disturbs me to have to turn it off each time I want to charge it, anyone experienced this before?

are you using the stock charger. if not make sure that the aftermarket charger is a 2A charger.
Its the usb connection signal. Mine did that occasionaly too, but not lately. It should recognize its charging after a second or two

i have no issues when using stock charger and cable, I run across this with other charges and cables that are less than 2 amps though
what kind of charger are you using or cable?
Thanks for your answers guys its the stock one which makes this kinda strange.
Yes this has happened to me on a couple of occasions. Unplugging and plugging it back in solved the problem. I also discovered that not only does the charger matter, but I got different results (charging times) using the same charger but different cables. Maybe there are different guage wire used in the cables?

yes, the cable also matters to handle the extra amps, so you need both the stock charger and cable combo
My stock cable went bad somehow and I had the same problem. It wouldn't charge at all. Even overnight

After reading this thread, I went and downloaded an app called Galaxy Charging Current. I know there are a lot of battery management apps out there, but this is a really simple, basic app that tells you how many amps are flowing thro the charger and cable to your device. My device using OEM pulls 1.8A.
I'll be buying a car charger from Amazon and will use this app to determine if it performs as claimed.
