I'm using the original charger that came with my phone. I charge It on a wall because I have read a thread that this will charge your phone faster, I try to turn it off while charging but all of this is bullsh*t. I dpnt knpw what's arent working! What should I do?
Get yourself a new lead. It's a known problem and posted many times in these threads

If you have a n7105 or an att one (can't remember the model- i397 I think) and a custom ROM try to get NEAK kernel... It supports fast charge, took 4 hrs+ to charge before and now that I changed the settings in the neak app it takes about a half hr. Its a pretty good kernel. And if you have the n7100 I believe devil kernel also supports fast charge through their app as well

If you have an old phone that has a usb to micro usb cable, try using that one if it works for charging your old phone with that cable. Or buy a Nokia CA-101D cable, I use it together with my stock charger. I had an issue with my stock cables too, it charges way too long even on the first time I used it.

Hello everyone,
I am currently going through hell with my sph-l710. This all started a few days ago.
My phone refuses to charge sometimes, but the charging light comes on. I have never gotten the phone to charge above around 20%. I took it to sprint. First they said it was a software issue but they wouldn't look at it because i was on a custom rom (Liquidsmooth) and rooted. So I went home and did a reflash of md4 via odin.
This didn't fix the issue.
So I went back in. This time, they said it was the battery. So I bought a brand new battery.
That didn't help the issue.
So I went back in, and they said they had to keep in for an hour to see if I simply needed a new phone. When I came back, they said it worked fine on multiple chargers and they got it up to 56%. So I came back home thinking maybe they were just covering their asses for the previous times they couldn't figure it out.
That didn't help the issue.
It once again wouldn't charge and while I was bored I flashed cleanbean v4.0. Still not charging properly. I noticed that while it was plugged into my PC, it got up to like 30% so I got excited, but when I rebooted the phone after unplugging it, it went down to 17% immediately.
I'm literally pulling my hair out over this. I have used my mom's charger for her htc evo and that won't charge it either.
Can someone pelase tell me what in the world is wrong with my phone??
Cheers
The charger, do not use a charger for HTC, make sure you use the charger that came with the phone. USB charging from the computer is slow. But your wall charger should have it fully charged within an hour. If not then your charger is bad or the cable is bad.

Check the port on the phone for pocket fuzz, Try a different usb cable, try a different charger. It's likely one of these is the problem. If not, is your phone running hot? If so, maybe an app on the phone is drawing so much current that the charger can't keep up. What does the battery usage display in settings say? Does it show something eating up battery that shouldn't be?

I used to think the same thing, but when I use my Kindle's charger or my old Evo 4G's charger, my phone doesn't charge, it just maintains the same level. My Palm Pre's charger, though, works like a charge. The Funkiest Ed wasn't saying that only Samsung chargers would work, but that it's likely the charger doesn't work anymore.
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?

Clean your port on the charger/USB cord and the phone.

Did you plug in wall wallet charge or notebook's USB cord? On wall it should charge in 3+ hrs
In my case I just swap the batteries of my F240 and don't know how much time it has to fully charge
Yeah I plugged it into a wall, then this morning i did the same thing and it went from 45% to 95 in 45min... dunno lol I'll try cleaning the leads it spends a lotta time in my pocket and the inconsistancy seems like something stupid like that lol

I've noticed sometimes that if it doesn't make a good connection it will say Slow Charge in the status bar. When that happens I just disconnect and reconnect.

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.

That would be weird if the cable had anything to do with it.

Oh I assure you it did for me. Try a generic cable or one from a normally allow charging device for yourself. I haven't tried a cable from any of the other large battery devices yet. I'd imagine a galaxy s4 cable or something would work.

Definitely does! Every android I've had would refuse to charge with the wrong cable. My wife's GS3 cable doesn't charge my phone with the lg charger. It just let's it use the outlet for power. Weirdest thing.:what:

For the record, at work I have a samsung wall charger and a cable from monoprice. It charges quickly, without a slow charge warning. At home, I'm using Samsung wall charger with samsung cable, and the same quick results. It doesn't have to be the stock charger/cable, just make sure it's one of quality.

But is the problem solved? Because I'm facing same problem on my S3 Neo (Duel sim card phone). I purchased it 2 months ago & using same cord & charger given by Samsung.
Pls help.
hey guys, i've been having an issue with my N2 charging. Seems as though at times the screen shows charging, but after an entire night of charging, i unplug it and its still only at 1 or 2 % more than when i plugged it in 7 hours earlier. This is using the stock charger that came with the phone, i have tried my wife's charger and ger the same issue. But when i use the car charger it doesnt seem to happen. Is there any issues with this that others have had? I know my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket had some wake lock issues(?) with certain chargers, i used the app some one posted and as long as that was clear the phone charged fine. Would that app work for this phone? i'd have to find the link if needed
No one? Any one?

Hi, i have my att galaxy s3, a year old, and rooted. it runs perfectly fine on illusion rom, been running that rom for a while. but all of a sudden a couple days ago it charges slow....i can leave it on the charger all night long, and it wont even be full anymore. i would say the battery is draining at a normal rate, i never really paid attention to it but i havent noticed drain issues. But charging is ridiculous, ive tried three different cables, one was a hardwired one, not usb. None of these make a difference, what can i do?

Hmm, most likely, it could your battery so I would look into a replacement from Samsung.com if you want an original Samsung made one or for a third party, these maybe:
http://www.amazon.com/warranty-Zero...UTF8&qid=1382406738&sr=8-6&keywords=zerolemon
Usually when it comes to charging, USB is my go-to but i'm assuming its pluged into the power adapter that came into the phone, right? If not, maybe look into buying a new one, maybe a 2 amp one for faster charging. Hope this helps a bit!
The other thing you can look at is if the USB port on the phone is dirty. My wife's S3 was randomly going into dock mode and not charging off of most cables. I used a small toothpick and some contact cleaner to clean it out. Remember to remove the battery and do not spray contact cleaner into the USB port. I sprayed it onto the toothpick and very carefully cleaned out the gunk. Good luck!

Got the new battery...same problem. ChRges slow. As for the charger I was using..yes it was the same one that the phone came with. I have tried a total of 4 different chargers. I just tried cleaning the contact pins with a safety pin(couldn't find a toothpick at the moment) I could t really pull out much dust but I'm gonna try charging again now.

So, I was using my FHD Nexus 7, and I usually keep a regular schedule with it. Long story short, when I put it on my USB charger at night, It never charged. I tried many different chords assuming that the one it came with died off, some didn't work entirely, some worked if I had it plugged in a certain angle, and some worked but it literally just made the battery drain slower. I heard that If I buy a wireless charger, I may get it to charge again, however until I get one, is there an temporary fix I can use to get it to charge through the port?
EDIT:I forgot to mention that I'm running ParanoidAndroid 4.4.2 with ElementalX kernel.

The port on the board could be bad. You can pop the back off and see if you have a bad solder joint or if the board has a burnt tracer. You can really dig in and check the battery ribbon and connector. Other than that, a Qi charger should charge it for you.
