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.

Ive been using my s3 for about 40 minutes on CM10. Plugged into a dual usb charger connected to not ip port, which in the past i have used fine. I have lost 5% battery in this time. Current widget doesn't work yet with S3. Suggestions?
Edit - The first time I got the phone after a full charge and discharge, while plugged into stock charger and before anything root, the same problem happened.

From what I heard, the charger can't charge the phone fast enough when you are using it thus the losing charge while plugging in. If you are talking about losing percentage right after you disconnect the phone from the charger, that is a feature, I do not know at the top of my head why it does it.
If charging through USB port (and many car chargers) you're capped at 500mA vs 700+ for wall chargers. You can install a kernel that supports fast charging and you will get 700mA through USB.

I'm having the same issue whether charging from usb or a power outlet. Charges for a bit initially, then drains. Happens with different cords, too. I'll pick it up and it will feel warm, see that the battery is lower than when I plugged it in, then put it down. Then it cools off and starts charging again. Any ideas?
Same here except
i have the same issue, i had stock Touchwiz and suddenly the phone started to discharge while on charging outlet, tried different chargers, outlets, different ports, etc. still wouldnt work, i even deleted several applications and turned off several phone functions, etc. still nothing, then i rooted to CM10.1 and the same issue still presists, the phone charges a bit then discharges weather i use it or not. the only solution to charge it, it seems to be by turning off the phone. i think it has to do with the usb port on the phone as i even had the battery changed and it still would discharge while on a charger.

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?
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

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.
So from the beginning of story, my wife discharge phone to 0% and it turned off, after it turned off it wont charge any more, so i think she killed the battery. Bought new battery, replace and it's ALIVE, but when i connect fast charger xperia turning off ( puff black screen, on normal charger is showing it's charging and after 10 seconds puff same result ) and red light is on at the top ( new battery is 50% charged ).
So i connect old battery to Xperia Z1 and charge, old battery is working, connect to Z3 and it working without charger connect, when i connect charger phone turning off, and place where is connected battery to phone board getting really HOT when charger is connected.
I don't see any water on phone-board, and white marks near the place of connection with battery.
Have someone same problem, and have a solution?

Your charging module might be damaged. Try charging using the magnetic charger, it should work.
I have the exact same problem in my Xperia Z3 D 6633 . this is how the problem started. original battery started swelling but charging while it was alright and had charged but I saw the risk in keeping a battery that is swelling all the time so got a new battery and that second battery lasted for about 2 months after which one fine day it used to discharge in just under 20 seconds from hundred percent 20 and after that gradually it will not take any charge but at least I could make it pretend charging when I connected to AC and the phone was on as long as there was external power either from the AC or Power Bank. next this second battery was changed to a third battery . with the third battery in place all I could he is a red light there is no charging at all and no charging icon and phone is totally dead with a red light.
some other place I read that there should be a voltage difference of at least 4.2 v for a battery to work in that phone and III battery initially did work but when it was discharged it will simply not charge again.
when you say the charging module is not working what exactly does it look like and can it be changed easily please help me out thank you
