I can't really tell you a time exact but not that long. Last night I was at 50% plugged it in and charged completely in bout 45 - 1hr. I usually don't touch it tho.

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

Rogue app.

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

Yes I always do before any rom even if I dont have to..

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.
My unicorn died, back on the pony.

Could it be a faulty battery?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

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.

Note 2 to hot when recharge !!!

Hi..i see that my note 2 is to hot on upside on
display when i recharge it.
Some one else have the same issue?
I use a car recharge because i'm always on the truck...battery monitor don't see any problem..
What to do?is dangerous for my note?must stop recharge? I used about 2 times every day for full recharge and in this time i use internet.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Is it Chinese?
Is it from a trusted company?
Did you noticed any battery drain or lesser battery life or longer charging time with normal charger?
Possibilities are the car charger isn't optimal for your phone.
Buy from a known store or a Samsung dealer or some other trusted or reputed store.

Try the charger with some other phone.
You really need to charge it with a wall charger or pc to property diagnose the cause.

Hmm i'm almost sure now that is because of perseus kernel.

Install "Battery widget Reborn!" or any other app that has such feature - and tell us how many degrees does the battery heat up to. If it's over 40-50 celsius, there's definitely something wrong with it.

Battery drain

Galaxy note II charging slowly

Hello I don't know if I can find some help here but I'm currently running tweaked Rom on my GNII and have since then noticed that it charges very slow. I've got two different samsung chargers and they both do the same thing. While it's plugged in it seems to still lose juice. It charged for over 6 hrs and only made it to 45% has anyone encountered this issue?? Thank you.

You have tweaked voltage control of your rom. Which tweak tool you've used? Check if there any reset to default option available. If not, reflash rom with all three wipes. Everything will be fine then.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

I haven't noticed any type of voltage control on the other tweaked Rom. Thing is i used my brothers charger at his house and it charged ridiculously fast. Even now I've had it plugged into the computer at school and it's been at 59% for last 4 hrs. I know it's not the same voltage but it just hasn't moved at all.

Try installing app call Galaxy Charging Current in the Playstore
It has free and paid apps .. just get the free app to test your charger current to your phone
Only pay attention to the value on Maximum .. You should be getting at least 1000mAH to 1800mAH ..
normally I would get 1200-1500 mAH .. You will be very lucky to get 1700-1800mAH
Samsung are well known for the bad usb cable data which often cause slow charging ..
Bad cable will only flow 500mAH too your phone and that pretty much like charging through PC which will take forever to full charging

Sometimes just replacing the samsung usb cable data will fix the problem .. Most of the time the culprit is the usb cable data
Another best option is to use Blackberry usb cable data.. their cables are good and more durable somehow compare to samsung cable

You're most likely using the charging cable of another phone. Use the note ii cable that came with the box. I used my S2 cable and the voltage is only around 780. Thenote ii cable got to 1800, big different.

If avatar is touchwiz based then you can use Perseus kernel. If its AOSP based then you can't unfortunately..

Slow Charging

My phone takes 5 to 6 hours to fully charge. It started about 3 days ago. I've tried Odin back to stock. I've tried different ROMs. I have also tried changing chargers and even a different battery. What can this be. It sucks to have to wait so long for my phone to charge.

I remember you asked this question about the Perseus kernel also if your running slim 4.2 neak kernel v2.1 has a fast charge setting if on 4.2 download the neak kernel 2.1 and the uneak engine from the play store to utilize all the kernel has to offer

I had slow charging issues on Carbon, but it's been fine on any other rom I've used. I also use NEAK kernel now and no issues here. Rootbox actually works great with NEAK and no charging issues whatsoever. You should give that a try if you don't want to use touchwiz. www.rootbox.ca

What worked for me I just removed the battery and cleaned the contacts of the battery and phone I don't know it might work for u. Good luck.!

Thank you guys for your input. I've been using neak kernel and uneak engine and I wouldn't say my charging is like when I got the phone, but its definitely not taking 6 hours to charge. Its taking maybe 4 now.

They all the same t0lteatt or t0lte. Used both.

Try changing charging cable, the factory one is not good in quality. There's an app that show how many current is taking the n2 when charging. That will give you a glimpse to know what is the cause. Mine was the cable. Hope it helps!

Wife had the same trouble, new cord fixed it... then I had the same issue, new cord, fixed it again.
we went from charging for 6 hours and not hitting 100% (starting from about 50) to going from about 70% to 100% in about 1 hour and still (mildly) using the phone
Change your cord guys, the samsung one stops working so well after a while. also you can use "galaxy charging current" app from app store to see if you are getting good charge levels
