My Galaxt S3 isn't charging. Help please!

So about two weeks ago, I switched to iPhone because I'm giving my S3 to my dad. I haven't used it since then so I fully expected the battery to die. However, when I went to charge it today the LED at the top left isn't lighting on and I get this

Whenever I try to plug in the battery while it's connected with the USB, the red LED pops up for 3 seconds and then it goes away.
Any ideas guys? Please help me.

I did see it. But we don't have the same problem.
My phone won't even get to the boot sequence and I know it's not a brick of any kind because the phone was working fine before I switched the iP5. I left the phone in the glove compartment of my car for a week or so, is it possible that could have messed with it? The phone was inside of the box and everything so I can't imagine it got too hot.

Well did you try the suggestions there? Keeping the battery out for a while and then putting it in and trying to boot?

Yeah I did but still no dice.

couple of things
Try a different battery
Try a different charger
Sometimes extreme heat and cold (from a glove compartment) can ruin a battery or the phone itself. Extreme temps are hell on phones. It's probably a good idea to remove the batterty and keep it inside if phone is being stored. Also, some chargers to go bad...had it happen. Anyway, you might have tried these things already. Good luck!:good:

Will not power on.

Hello, I've had a Samsung Epic 4g Touch just laying in one of my drawers for about 6 months. This phone it was my friend's and he gave it to me since he couldn't do anything with it. Now that I'm trying to turn it on it does not respond to anything. I doubt is the battery because this lithium batteries last a lot and this phone was barely used. I've had this issue when I used to had a nexus s and it was solved by taking the battery out and holding the volume down and power button while I connected the usb cable and inserted the battery back in but that method does not work on the epic 4g so called galaxy s2. Does anybody know what could I try since the comluter does not recognise it when plugged in?

Does it show to be charging when plugged in to a wall charger? If it laid in a drawer for 6 months I'm quite sure the battery is totally dead and will need to have at least a little bit of charge on it before the phone will turn on. When these batteries are dead for an extended period of time there is a good chance that it will never be as good as new.
One man's trash is another man's treasure.

You may need a new battery. If it was stored with 0 charge for 6 months its most likely got dead cells. You should always store li-ion batteries with 40-80% charge, in a cool dry place and removed from the device.

It does not show anythign when plugged in a usb or wall charger. Im gonna go to a sprint store or cell phone store to see if the phone works with another smae kind of battery.

Found the issue is the usb not charging. Took it to a sprint store and as soon as they put in another battery it turned on but it did not charge. Now I'll need to figure out how hard is to fix the usb hub if either just some soldering or if it is the whole usb hub that need to be replaced.

Hey guys I founf the issue. When I took the phone apart I noticed the last of the prong on the left that is connected to the usb hub is damaged like burnt or maybe broken I can barely see it. Is there a way to replace it or fix it?

***charging issue n7100 | experience#2 [resolved]

Hi Guys,
Got a problem here. This will be my 2nd Note2 after sending it back to Samsung couple of months ago. It was charging this morning and tonight after a long day of work, I decided to play some game on it. Noticed that the battery is on 15% I decided to charge it. After 30mins I checked the status of the battery and to my amaze it was not charging! I tried 3 different cables, 2 different chargers, and none of them works. Tried my cables and chargers to a different phones and it does work. I connected my note 2 to my laptop, and it does not recognized it. Tried to charge it while it is turned off, I can see a battery icon, but it does not show the charging battery icon. It will disappear in a few seconds. Please see image below:

It's a rooted phone. Tried to clean the charging port. I even opened it without damaging the warranty sticker, and I can definitely say that there's no moist inside. But just to be sure, I blow it using a hair dryer with the temp off. But with no luck. I used to experienced this a few weeks ago where went back charging after a few minutes. But this time it's worst, it's been an hour and a half and still it is not charging. I can't do a full wipe yet since the battery got 9% left on it.
I know that if it will really not charge, to resolve it..it's either I send it back again to Samsung, replace the board myself (hope it works), or buy an external battery charger. Unless there's more that I can do to fix it.

I did but to my amazed after leaving it alone the whole night, It went back charging again. Yes I am glad that it's working again but I am worried it might happen again sooner or later. I have read some threads with the same issue and with the same outcome, I really want to know what's behind this.

So if its under warranty unroot and monitor

let me start by saying with virgin i have no insurance and cant afford a new phone
about a week or so ago my phone randomly turned off and wouldnt turn back on,
it wont even show that it is charging, just a black screen and the blue led light will flash on and off when plugged in, but wont charge
i tried to unbrick it, but when i put it in download mode it tells me it isnt charged enough to enter download mode. so i cant unbrick it.
i bought a new battery to see if it was the battery that was the issue, but still having the same problem.

Have you tried another charging cable and/or using another charger/device to top off the battery?

Like an external battery charger? They are like $2 on Amazon

i havent tried an external charging station, but ive tried a different cable and still the same issue

also another note, when i got the new battery today, it had some charge on it and my phone worked fine until it died and it couldnt charge and when it was dead it wouldnt show the battery charging indicator, just the blue flashing light

ebay $6
If the new battery worked until it ran down then it sounds like you might have a bad usb port on the phone. It happens. Here is a cheep workaround.

Buy a couple extra batteries too

Galaxy Tab S USB Problems

I got the OTA update for my Galaxy Tab S 10.5 to Android 6.0.1. Ever since installing it I've been having USB issues from not charging and not being detected in Windows 10. Whenever I plug an USB cable it shows the battery icon with a red X, no matter what cable or charger I use. It also does this in Windows. I installed the Samsung drivers and neither Odin or Kies can detect it. Device Manger doesn't show any unknown device or the tablet. The only way I can charge it now is to turn it off and leave it overnight. This gets maybe 6-8% charge. I've also tried factory reset, but same issue. Is this tablet pretty much done for now?

In the Developer Options menu, tick 'USB Debugging'

If you have not been able to charge to 100% even though you have tried a number of cables and chargers then it looks like you battery has gone bad.
A battery can just die just by going to low, it might have been weak and this was the straw that broke it`s back, I found my T800 battery dead the other week it would not turn on, a bad app had drained it overnight, luckily i charged to 100% and it seems to be fine.
You can get replacement battery`s on eBay for like $10 and tool kits for like $4 and there are lots of youtube video`s on how to replace the battery it looks easy.
I already have my replacement battery and tool kit ready for when my battery goes bad as they all do eventually and i love my 10.5" too much for a dead battery to stop me using it for long.
Here`s my Kit, I have posted this photo a few times.

Have you tried a completely different computer? I have had issues frequently in the past with this device but a different computer always recognized it.
On another note, that red X is normal.
http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/skp/faq/1064881

I tried the methods above minus opening it. I left it plugged into my PC for half a week and came back to it. Randomly decided to start working as if none of this ever happened. When I turned it back on it was still stuck at 34%, but it now showed a charging icon instead of a red X. I've been using it on all different chargers so far and no issues.
