I have a samsung galaxy s3 i747
The battery drains rapidly and when i charge it gets error charging paused temperature too low.
Any idea what part of board is faulty?
I've read from a forum that says its the thermistor problem a small resistor in the board, but don' know where it is, anyone knows where it is located on the board? Really need to revive my phone.. Thanks

Hello guys,
I'm facing a very troublesome problem,
Whenever I plug in my GT-N71000 to my charger or the computer, the phone shows that error "Charging paused. Battery temperature too low", or if the phone is off it shows the yellow exclamation point with a thermometer.
I know that must be a really common thread here at XDA-Dev but I have searched the entire internet to find out a solution for this. What have I already done:
When it appeared for the first time I could take the battery off and put it again and sometimes it would charge whenever the phone wanted (I didn't know before that Note II had personality). I downloaded apps that monitor the battery temperature and it showed -20°C. Really freaky. Then I moved to another country and sometimes it worked. I opened it up cleaned and I could charge for some time, then it came back. I went to the Samsung Service and replaced the charging mechanism and the phone worked fine until last friday after a drunken night when this problem showed again!
It happens even with other batteries, so battery problem is ruled out. I opened the phone again and checked the PCB it looks fine, doesn't have any damage of water or any corrupt paths.
I even rooted, deleted battery stats.bin . Reflashed to stock and it's no use. What makes me believe it is some hardware problem with the thermistor that reads the battery temperature, since it was stuck in -20, -19.
Is there a way to reprogram the kernel or whatever coding is responsible for this reading to fool the phone that the battery temperature is at normal levels, so this way I could charge and use my phone normally? Has anyone any solution that I haven't tried? I want to try everything before going to Samsung again because I'm really sure they will say they have to change the whole PCB.
Thank you very much
Well, just a quick update.
I haven't found a solution yet. I bought an external charger so I can at least use my phone but haven't arrived yet. I searched and searched and the only place that I found about anyone having some sort of solution is on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47008088 .
But i have no idea how to patch that kind of code in my phone, nor I know if it is on the Kernel.
Anyone might wanna help? Thanks!
Hi, need some technical advise on this issue. Apparently, I have a set of Galaxy Grand from China Unicom. The thing is that it is on stock. I gets heated up super hot whereby I can feel the blistering heat and when plugged in to charger, it just discharges and not charging. The phone is hot with or without charger plugged in. It has never went to water contact before. I am puzzled, I can't flash it to any other firmware as I've read the I9082_CU phones are sort of like firmware locked. The phone will keep on draining battery until it kills itself off. The only way to charge it back is for me to charge the battery with external charger.
If anyone has any insight of this issue, or have a schematic diagram for any jumpers to the mainboard, please share thanks. I suspect something is drawing power or a blown capacitor or resistor that is causing this. Another thing is that whenever I try to activate the wifi and bluetooth , it just says " Turning Wifi On" or "Turning Bluetooth On" it stays for a couple and reverts back to off position. However I noticed even in the off position, the WIFI or Bluetooth icon is dimly lit.
I thank everyone for any insight on this.
Regards
phone is getting slower
am also facing the same problem... & now a days am not able to open the google play store, when i open it, my phone hangs & after some times error message wil popup on my screen like "unfortunately google play store stopped", please help me with a solution for this.....
I never knew Grand has a carrier-locked variant... Given its target market in developing countries, not US.
Your best bet is to complain to your carrier and claim your warranty, because it seems like they have done lousy modifications to the phone...
The thing is these phone was purchased from China, didn't know it too that they locked the firmware but after reading from a couple of guys here, it seems it's locked. Battery is draining like crazy , 1% every 20-30 secs. I think it could be firmware but maybe it could be hardware as well
This could be a faulty app/firmware---which can be detected by some system monitoring apps on Play Store---a bad kernel or some faulty hardware...
There's no solution for faulty hardware... just dump it if you can't bring it to a service center
Can you root and install a custom ROM on a locked firmware? (sorry I've never used a locked phone before) This could be a fix if it's a faulty app/firmware/kernel.
Hey guys, I have an Sprint Galaxy S3 with me and while fixing the power button on it I seem to have damaged the temperature sensor on the S3. Not allwoing me charge and only allowing me to charge with the external charger. Would there be any way or rom perhaps that would let me bypass this "block" put on android? Help would be very very appreciated. Thank you! (or maybe a script someone would be able to give me?)
Hi all!
So, I've got quite an annoying problem here. Whenever I plug in my phone (when it's at least beneath 50%, haven't tested it above 50%) it just drops like 20%.
The battery has only been in operation for a few days, it's an entirely new original battery I bought a previous week, means it couldn't be the battery causing it (I replaced it just for that reason that it drops when I plug it in).
So, does somebody know what the problem could be?
Battery: Can't be.
ROM: Possibly, but I've had it on another ROM too, sure of that.
Phone: Could be, but I can't just buy a new one yet.
Thanks in advance!
Bump
Isn't the battery non-removable? Or did you replace it at a support centre or remove the screws to get access to the battery?
From what it looks like, there is probably a short circuit somewhere in your phone's circuit board. There is also the possibility that the charging cable you are using is damaged/burnt on the inside. I recommend you first use a different microUSB cable to charge your phone to see if that solves the issue. I had experience with the latter and solved it using this method.
My note 2 battery temperature sensor broke. Well whenever I put it on charge it says "charging paused battery temperature too high" it shows battery temperature at 60 degree Celsius but battery is very cold.
I have flashed few times with odin, factory reset etc., used a different battery etc. problem is still there. I also replaced the usb port reflex with new one. Took it to service center and they are insisting me to change the whole motherboard which cost 8k rupee, they said the problem is in motherboard part and not the usb port. I am in india and I took it to few electronic stores and they said they are not able to repair it.
So I was thinking how I can disable the security feature which prevents battery to be charged. I know my phone battery is fine and its just the sensor that's broke. I know the risks behind it but I want it done.
If someone can guide me which component needs to be replaced on motherboard or How the disable the security feature which blocks charging at high temperature. Where this file is located so I can edit it.
Sorry for bad english I am in hurry.
my phone is rooted so I was looking through all .xml's
there should be something like "stop charging when battery temp= 50 degree"
well I think I should go to some other forum, I thought this community was helping.
