So I have my S3 Telus 4.3 and I've noticed that it's been experiencing a serious battery drain ever since android 4.1.2. And when I use the phone while it's on charge the battery starts to decrease. I have to keep it on charge for hours without using it until it finally charges to 100%. And when I use it afterwards it instantly goes from 100% to 76% in 10 minutes.
Anyone?

I had the problem of my phone being charging and my battery draining. Switching my micro USB cable fixed it.
If that doesn't help, try clearing cache and/or wiping data. Maybe your battery is almost dead. Try all the variables. In the end the S3 will have around 3 hours of screen on time, those are the facts.
I was unhappy with my battery life so I bought the ZeroLemon 7000mah battery from Amazon. Highly recommend.

Switching to micro-usb?
No, switching cables, so if you have a extra micro USB cable (the one you use to charge your phone) try charging your phone with that instead of the one you're using right now.

It seems like it takes forever to charge my phone now how can I wipe battery stats?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Has nothing to do with battery stats.
It gets auto wiped when you charge your phone to a certain level to almost full.
If it takes too long to charge, get a 1000mah charger and don't use a 500mah one.
Hope it charging from the wall and not a PC

Data/system/ batterystats.bin just delete it.. Or boot into recovery and clear battery stats...you can check your cable or change the outlet at which you charge your phone, you might also want to check your battery for leaks which could potentially damage your phone..

Isn't it just a USB power plug ?
If so it will be surelly faster than charging from your PC but I wouldn't pay 17 dollars for it. I mean, it's identical to the s2 orignal charger only with a removable usb cabble right ?
That looks like the charger for my old Captivate. My SGS2 charger does not look like that. OEM chargers should be faster than generic chargers because Samsung hardware doesn't allow the generic ones to charge as fast.
Yeah you are right but why they have called it a Rapid charger ????

Okkkk buddy... Then why they have given it rapid tag...doesn't it stand for fast charging???

It looks like a scam!
if you have your samsung original charger a custom kernel you might want to change the USB voltage settings while charging.
The problem with fast charging it is because it reduce the battery life. Its cool to charge the phone fully in no time but in short-mid term it is not something you should do
doesnt harm the phone or battery???

Not on short term.
But if you do that everyday the battery will suffer and will loose effective power.
Also if you force an higher usb port voltage on the phone make sure you dont use a computer usb port as electrical issues may occurs.

The sgs2 doesn't even use the oem at full capacity (1000Mah) it only chages @ 450 Mah because of samsung's software limiting the input. Use a custom kernel such as siyah to enable faster charging @ 650 Mah which speeds up the charging to about 2-3hrs

mate the best cure for slow charging times is a desktop charger and a spare battery you can even take it to the next level and get
2x 2000mah batteries
1x genuine samsung desktop battery charger/stand
thats what i do and its so nice not having to wait the 3+ hours it takes from empty to max , i abuse the phone , then just swap batterys and put the empty one on charge
seriously samsung gave us a removeable battery and a micro sd slot something thats getting rare these days in high end phones so grab a spare battery and a memory card and make the most of them lmao
edit
i spent approx £50 on batterys and a charger from amazon and its the best thing i done i literally never have to have my phone plugged in at all
Mate..how much time desktop charger takes for 2000mh battery ????

it will take approx 3-4 hours from flat to full , if you have 2x 2000mah batterys one can be charging while your using the other one
its what i do and it works great
So when I have my stock 1800mah battery in the phone my charger shows up as USB in the battery stats. It also seems a little touchy when it wants to charge. There shouldn't be anything wrong with the port since I just got the phone Saturday brand new from best buy. The thing that is confusing me when I put my old 1500mah battery from my SGS1 the charger comes up as AC like it should and i have no problem with the charger not wanting to work. Can someone help me out there

You could have a faulty battery, in which some of the cells in the battery may be damaged. How are you attempting to charge your phone? through a usb port on a computer or through an outlet?
Through an outlet.

Yeah most likely its a faulty battery. Manufacture defect

I'll try a different charger Saturday when I get back from my trip and if it still doesn't show up as AC I'll take the battery back to best buy ty

I also have an external charger but an extended life battery acted the same way. It wouldn't charge in the phone. I fully charged it in the external charger then ran the battery in the phone until it shut off. I repeated this a couple more times and now the battery seems to be behaving. It might be worth a try but if it's the only battery you have, then maybe not.
Well I tried using my cousin's charger and it shows up as AC so I'm guessing it's just something with my charger not my battery

May be a shorted pin in the usb cord triggering USB mode

Got a mophie juice pack a couple of weeks ago. Has a 2300mha battery and is supposed to double my battery life, however will not fully recharge my phone from say about 30 percent. It will get it up to about 80 to 90 or so. This is with the phone on and low to moderate use. Curious what others are experiencing and if this is about right or if I need me a new one.

its not supposed to FULLY recharge your phone. if your phone is turned off while it charges, then yeah you'll get more juice out of it. I've been using the mophie case on my gs3 and havent had any problems.. when i'm at work at my battery is at 30% or so and i flip on my mophie case, it will get me up to about 80 or 90% with time.. which is enough to get me through work till i get home i'll also add that i use my phone at work alot lol
I use the 1500mah Powerskin and it goes about 30 to 50-60, so you are about right. Remember that you aren't just using the extra mah - it has to be converted up to 5v (with losses) to feed your charge port, then your phone's charging circuitry has additional losses. Probably 20-30% of the extra juice is wasted, no way to avoid that.

Mine is about the same. I have a bad habit in using the phone while it's charging by the juice pack. At least I can an make it through a full work day with heavy use. Shorter when tethering.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
It's because when the juice pack is plugged in, the phone is in usb charge mode, not a/c mode. If you are rooted, and your rom supports usb fast charge, you should be good to go.

I enabled fast charge and made a big difference as far as charge speed, but got pretty warm. Not sure its too good for the phone or the case so probably going to just use it normally.

So i had my phone for a while and just noticed this. When my battery gets real low I plug it in to the wall charger. It seems that if I continue to use it while charging, the charger cannot keep up with the use and it eventually dies and shuts off. Is this normal? Any fixes? Thanks.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Thats not normal either battery or charger problem. Try to use different charger first.

This IS the correct answer, I have 2 samsung chargers, 1 is fast as hell, the other slow.
It is the charger.
If you're using it faster than you can replenish it, yeah, that's "normal".
Even my 1amp charger can't keep up of I'm playing Ingress.
