Is anyone having an issue with charging their S6 on other chargers? I just picked up my Edge and it randomly keeps making the sound as if I just plugged it in. I will note that this has been on after market 2A chargers with the stock cable. I haven't noticed it yet on the stock charger but have only used that overnight so I may not have noticed. Wondering if there is something wrong with the phone or if it's really that sensitive to which charger is used. Yesterday while plugged into my 2A car charger, it showed it was charging, but the battery was actually dropping while streaming music through Bluetooth.
I have charged my phone at work with my
company phones charger, (Motorola) and have not heard any noise when charging.. I used the Motorola cable and charger plug.. I did not try it with the Samsung cable and Motorola charger.
I havent had that issue...but one thing I *do* know charging via USB takes ffffoooorrrreeeevvvveeerrrrrr
I may have to get this phone replaced under warranty when they are back in stock near me. Something doesn't seem right... Battery monitor says "discharging" AC plugged... And the battery is dropping as I type this (about 5% in 5 minutes while plugged in). Also, after checking the battery in android settings, the estimated time left seems terrible. 91% and only 21 hours on ultra power saving mode? Shouldn't that be a few days? 21 hours is what I expect to see for normal operation, not black and white u. Power save... (See screenshots)

Has anyone else got this? Bit of background to what happened....
Phone is roughly 7 months old, never had one problem with it - the night before 4.2 got released I stumbled across a problem I've never seen before....
Phone was on 7% battery so plugged it in, and carried on watching TV - came to using my phone an hour later and found my phone had switched off.....tried turning it on and nothing happened so I thought it must of crashed and needed a battery pull.
Did the battery pull and tried turning on and still nothing - the charging display when turned off kept appearing and disappearing like I was plugging/unplugging the phone from charger....
At this point I thought my charger had semi-died so used my computer USB port to charge it, turned phone on and voila, says charging and phone switches on.
Phone has normal 2 day battery life ever since, however now my phone thinks it is constantly charging when nothing plugged in (see screen shot below).
Is this a damaged USB port? Anyone changed one?

Do you mean you tried replacing the whole usb port or tried a different charger?
Just cleaned the USB port out with a paint brush. Then bent the contract up SLIGHTLY with a tiny flat blade screwdriver......
No more charging error now.
After one of my zerolemon 7000mAh batteries went through the wash, and fried the electronics (cells still worked fine), I decided to combine them and make a 6 cell, 14000mAh battery. I then saw this project, and decided to beat the storage capacity too. I've wired up some 2A usb ports directly into the battery (these). They can be used for everything from charging another phone or tablet to powering a usb hub or hard drive (the end goal).

Here's the battery, with the phone
in the picture to show size.
It can power hubs...
Charge my mom's phone (15 times over)...
And technically even charge itself.
PS:This is my first post, sorry if I'm breaking any posting standards.
In my opinion, the Samsung Galaxy S3 suffers the same battery issues of all other Android smartphones which usually lasts less than a day of performance. Owners can extend its battery life even longer than expected by simply tweaking and using essential tricks on Galaxy S3.Aside from mobile data, watch out for other wireless radios such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC which consumes power and you must turn them off whenever not in use. Whenever there is an available and decent Internet connection via Wi-Fi, use it instead of mobile data to preserve power on your phone. Whenever you are not using any Internet connection or high tasking services, activate the Power Saver from the notifications shade to manage battery life better.
I had an issue with my phone and resolved it, this is me sharing this particular error and solution.
First the Problem:
I had my ZL running low on charge and the next morning it would not react to anything.
pushing buttons (and a combination of buttons, like power+volumeup) did not work
connecting it to the charger
connecting to pc did not show the device or trigger a reaction (did not show up in device manager)
Solution A: Install a new battery (e. g. via IFIXIT guide).
Solution B (try on your own risk!!!):
Open the backcover of the device (i used the IFIXIT disassembly guide).
You dont need to remove the main curcuit board, you just need to disconnect the flex-cable of the battery shown in the picture below, the pink marker shows the battery connector (top right).

I bent the connector so that it was accessible with my universel charger, which looks like this
I connected the two marked connectors go to the + and - on the flex-cable of the battery and the charger signaled that it was charging the battery.
I guess you can use any universal charger of this fashion. Do not use your standard usb charger, it's dangerous!
After 10-20 minutes i reassembled the phone and was able to charge it normally, start it up, etc.
I'm no expert but this is what I think happend:
A completely drained and at the same time worn out battery did not allow chrging the divice. Mine was 20 months old. The phone controls the charging process I think, so maybe there was not enough power left for that.
I will be replacing my devices battery with a new one and I suggest the same I you have had the same problem.
I hope this helps

Can you try with original charger? does that work?
Your photo shows model A2010 BTW, you mentioned A2013? not sure if there is a difference but the physical charger certainly has A2010 stamped on it ..

Hello all,
I bought an external portable Aukey battery that was working fine until I don't know what happened...
This is the model I'm talking about:

When I plug it to my phone, it starts to charge, and then stops. I have 3 identical devices, and they all do the same thing. I have changed the USB cable, same story.
If I plug my phone to another QC3 charger, portable or electrical, it works. But not with this device.
It used to work some weeks ago, and then I upgraded the firmware from B03 to B08. I haven't used them since.
Anyone noticed something like that? No problem with external chargers?
Thanx for your thoughts
Funny.
I've ordered that portable charger but i had to send it back because it wasn't working just like yours.
The charger works for 5 seconds and them it stops working.
Tested 3 different cables - got the same result.
My phone has B08 firmware.
Using the Aukey charger with another phone that doesn't have quick charge, it works OK.
I have another older portable charger (doesn't have quick charge) and it works fine with the Axon 7.
I've ordered another portable battery with quick charge 3 from another manufacturer.
I'll post my results here when i receive it.
Thanks.
Maybe this quick charge issue will be solved in Nougat firmware...
I'm sorry for the late response but only today i received a new power bank, after 2 different orders.
I've bought a BlitzWolf BW-P4 and this power bank works great!
Fast charging works as advertised and has a small profile with 5200mAh.
You can find this power bank here:

I'm very pleased with this one.
