I bought a stock samsung battery for my galaxy s3. I am trying to charge it but it is not moving forward at all. I've powered off the phone, plugged in the battery and then plugged in a usb cord to charge it.
The results are the same no matter where I charge it.
I've tried two different AC adaptors and a usb cord to the computer.
When I plug in the power source, the phone vibrates once, shows the galaxy s3 logo, displays a battery charging status showing 0% charged. The battery is filling up green indicating that it's charging. It will perform the animation of filling the battery twice then the screen goes blank.
I've left it plugged in for a while now but it doesn't seem the be actually charging. I cannot turn the phone on with it plugged into a power source or not.
If I put the old battery back in, everything is fine.
I'm running the latest cyanogenmod m4 release.
The new battery you got is obviously a dud. Replace it

So, here's the deal. I have a Motorola Backflip, it has been rooted and now runs 2.1 instead of Android 1.5. A few weeks ago, I woke up after charging my phone all night and it was very hot. It wouldn't turn on, I panicked, then later I tried and it was fine. Now, it happened again this morning when I woke up. It was very hot, I waited for it to cool off, and tried to charge it again, because it wasn't charging all night. When I plug it in, it recognizes it's plugged in with a little vibration, does the white screen with the Motorola M for a bit, then shows the "0%" screen with a charging battery. Then, it vibrates to show it's plugged in, shows the white screen with the Motorola M for a bit, then once again shows the "0%" screen with a charging battery. It keeps doing that, and won't charge. I obviously can't turn the phone on since it will not charge, and the battery is dead. I am using a normal wall charger, but I will try charging it through the computer to see if that makes any difference. Any suggestions? Is my phone okay, or should I give up?
U need a new battery

Just woke up to the very same thing with my backflip. It may have something to do with the amount of current going through the connection. I had mine plugged into the back accessory port on my old Blackberry Bold dock. The one that has a spot for the bold upfront, spot for a bluetooth headset, extra battery charger and an extra USB port on the back(I use it and my old Bold as a bedside alarmclock/internet radio now .) I had been playing a bit of leaf green on gameboid last night with it plugged in and woke up to a feircly hot Backflip that would not power on. it was on until I picked it up then turned off. i hit the power button and it just kept cycling through the moto M logo and then returning to the 0% battery screen and then off. i disconnected it from there, plugged it into my laptop where i could only get the micro-usb led to blink... it would not power on at all. I then got my Blackberry Torch's little usb wall adapter and tried that out and it worked like a charm. phone loaded up the way it was intended to.
Now as far as amperages go, for the dock i am unsure, it states on the wall plug it has an output of 1600ma, but for up to 4 devices... i am unsure as to how much power is restricted to each port if any. I only had the bold and backflip connected to it. My laptop has powered USB ports which deliver 550ma's each which is typical and in my experience often not enough to start a device from 0%. My BB wall adapter is 750ma's which has to be my personal preference. I actually refuse to plug my Torch into a USB port until i know it does not supply over 750ma's for fear of ruining my battery like had before on other phones not designed to use a 1amp charger. I am assuming my Backflip has the same idea.
Yesterday after having the tablet full charged I noticed that the battery was draining pretty quickly. Now after having it charging all night with the power off, w/ the charge light on, I powered it up to See that it only had 7 %charged. Now with it on and charging the level stays about the same if no goes down. Now I the charger is a bit temperamental but this is bad. Could the battery be bad organ I reset the battery memory in recovery?
please check your charger current mark. and you can charged xoom by pc usb port.

No, the USB doesn't charge the Xoom. Only the Family edition and Xoom 2, from what I understand can be charged via USB.
I've found that the tablet will show the battery icon as charging but when powering off wiith Quick Boot and not touching the cord the charge light is not on.
I love this tablet but I'm beginning to feel that after my Verizon contract runs out it may be time to move on. It's quite a shame.
6 months ago i noticed my tab wasnt charging when the charger was plugged in, so i opened up the device and saw that a little wire of the battery was broken (maybe coincidentally). I bought a new battery but my tab still wont charge. It DOES charge (very slowly) when the device is turned off, but when it's on it doesn't charge neither will the PC recognize it as a USB device. If the charger is plugged in and the battery level is low, I'd unplug it and the low battery message would pop up. It's like the device recognizes I plugged in the charger but some way it's not able to charge. I'm using the original charger. What should I do?
Well I was laying on my bed tinkering with the phone waiting for the battery to finish charging so I could swap it out and get a full charge on my other battery and with the charger connected I pulled the battery to swap it out and the phone shut off. I was expecting the phone to stay on after pulling the battery since the charger/adapter was connected. It charges just fine from both the wall charger and plugged in to the PC but it won't stay on or power on with charger plugged in and the battery out. Other phones I've had (ZTE Midnight, LG-P999...)will stay on if I pull the battery while connected to PC or wall charger. So is this abnormal or is this something that is normal for the S3 or is it possibly ROM related? I'm running Alliance rom 23 with KT kernel and Philz touch recovery.

This is normal, using wall charger without the battery won't work.
I recently picked up an unknown condition motog 4g. Won't boot. I figure it had self-discharged into oblivion. Cells came up at 2.16v, but I didn't trust it, got a fresh battery off Amazon. New battery shows no love.
When plugged in, I get no screen but the notification light goes white.
Things I've tried:
Charging for 24H on 2A charger
VOL DOWN + PWR 2min
freezing it
unplugging the screen and letting it charge
holding power for 10+ minutes while off
holding power for 10+ minutes while on charger
So, I've tried everything. Still don't know if it's a corrupted bootloader (possibly?) or if something else is wrong.
Any suggestions?
I've got a friend with the same situation pretty much. We have not frozen it yet, who can tell me how to do that?
He has had it since new, it is bone stock, and nothing will bring the battery above 0%. I'm looking for some last ditch things to try before we pull the back off and unplug the screen to charge, or replace battery.
Any help would be appreciated.
Have you tried charging it on a low amperage charger? I know other variants have had charging issues which were solved by charging on low amp chargers, such as a computer's USB port. Those generally put out about 500mA or less unless they're powered.

Figured I'd update here:
I bought a new battery and put it on a 5W charger for 24 hours. Came back to life.
