The past 2 weeks ive had trouble trying to charge my s3. At first the phone would charge but out of nowhere it would stop and charge and the red light would go on and off and it did this repeatedly until i disconnected the charger. A couple days later the phone would barely charge. It would go up from 47 to 53 percent in 2 hours soon the phone didnt even charge at all! I noticed it would discharge because i saw the parentage go from 47 to 38 only in a matter of minutes. At this point i didnt know what to do because i tried different chargers and outlets and tried charging through my xbox and laptop. I was told that changing my battery would fix this solution. The new battery worked and my phone charged the correct way but only for a couple hours because the charging problems came back and while i was using my phone on 34 percent the screen had black horizontal lines flashing in the screen kind of like a static tv and then my phone just shut off and didnt turn on for an hour. Upon turning the phone on again the screen showed it had 0 percent and it shut off and I turned it on again and it had 17 percent (this is still the new battery) but soon the phone shut off again. Now when i turn it on it only makes it up to the AT&T screen then the blue flashing light start fading and the phone dies. The only way i can get the phone to charge it by putting the charger in a certain position also i cleaned out the charging port yesterday with a needle and took alot of dust and the phone started to charge normally but only to 7 percent but then while it was charging it dropped to 0 percent. The times ive gotten my phone to charge it hasnt gone past 9 percent and when it reaches 9 it just starts draining battery like crazy to 0 and then it shuts off. I was wondering if anybody has had this problem or have a solution or explanation. Thank you

*The tablet is completely stock, other than a couple apps, like a dictionary and google translate*
I got a Galaxy Tab 2 7 inch a little while ago for school use, and didn't use it much after Spring finals. But when I went to use it today, it would not turn back on. Thinking that the battery had been drained from being left on for an extended period, I plugged it in. What I found was that it would stay black for a couple seconds then show the battery with the stuck loading circle. It then shows the quarter and half charging increments in orange and shuts back off for a couple seconds. I have attached a gif in case my explanation of the animation is not sufficient.
Edit: My problem was purely hardware. The battery had failed somehow, and I fixed the problem with an OEM replacement battery. I'm glad that it was that easy to fix, and I hope that this can help someone else with the same problem.

you charging using direct charging adapter or USB charging?
based on my experience ...
1. If you tab out of the battery to 0%, can not be charged using usb charge for charging low power and not enough ..
2., And if you run out of battery at 0% and you charge using the adapter charges but still can not keep his charge, and so the possibility is still there charging cable / USB you are damaged .. if so you should try to use another cable / new and charging using adapter ..
try it ... I think maybe it will solve your problem ..
Hi there. Ive looked all over the net to figure out this problem i have with a samsung i9505.
Phone appears to be running fine . My concern is when i charge the phone it seems to charge properly, but when it gets to %100 it just keeps going going and more going for hrs and the green light wont come on saying its finished charging remove the charger. Ive done resets updated to lolipop tried different chargers and battery.
It red light just stays on at %100 with the battery charging icon still saying its charging
Turn the phone off and plugged the charger in and it juzt sits on %99
Im fairly sure its probly not charging but just wondering why it wont say green light finishef charging please remove charger
Any ideas?
After last night i tried something, it was sitting on %100 for ages showing its charging, so went to bed with it on and it took like 5 hrs for it to go green. im thinking yay
But no, i wiped the cache did a full reset and even in aeroplane mode with everything off and nothing installed after the reset the battery is still going down really fast in standby mode like %10 per hr..
Seems like the phone hasnt got the right info about the battery or something its just all haywire

Hey guys,
I have owned my Samsung Galaxy S6 for a little over 5 months now and about a week ago fast charging stopped working. I have searched around on the web and have found no info. Here are some details on what happens when I plug my phone in:
70% of the time I will plug it in and in the notification bar it will say cable charging x hours remaining.
the other 30% of the time it will go to a black screen with a white x in the corner. After a bit of researching this is the phone going into vr mode. The phone goes completely unresponsive and I have to hold the volume down and power key to force restart the phone.
I have also tried fully reseting the phone but it is still not working. I have also tried using my friends fast charger and also had no luck. Any help appreciated! :/
Without fast charging it charges unbelievably slowly... 4 hours to charge from 6% to 100% with the phone fully powered off. 6 hours to charge it to 100% when it is switched on.
Hi All
The battery died on my S6 tonight with the indicator showing 13% (unlucky I know!). I plugged the phone into my wall fast charger and went for a bath. When I came back down 30 mins later I picked up the phone and it was showing 0% but in the notification area it had recognised the fast charger and said 1 hour 20 mins to full.
I changed the USB lead from the charger to the phone and initially it charged up to 30% in around 15 mins and then immediately dropped back down to 0%.
I have again changed the USB lead and it seems to be charging again it has made it up to 42% this time without dropping so I'm hoping it fully charges.
Does anyone have any advice or has anyone had a similar issue?
After this I will NEVER buy Samsung again I've had nothing but trouble with this model I really don't think its fit for purpose.
It is sold as a multi media device but if you try to use it as one you need to carry external battery packs. When I took it back to Samsung they said its a "screen on issue" and the screen on time is no more than 3 hours.

It now appears to be stuck on 42 %

I've had similar issues like this but I am rooted. It involved me doing a clean install of my preferred rom. If you are stock then try the following 1. Factory reset 2. Flash a firmware via odin. If you still have issues then try a new usb cable and charger. This issue has only ever happened to me once since I've had this phone last September.
Hey fourm, sorry for the long read but if anyone is technically savvy with batteries or voltages/electrical components please read! this might not be specific to a Fold but any device may suffer from what my device is suffering from.
I have recently had issues with my Galaxy Fold Z2 and it unexpectedly dropping to 0% charge, the first time this happened yesterday i was in an application and was switching from the larger display into the smaller one, upon closing the display the phone shut down and i wasn't able to get anylife out of the phone except a vibration when holding the power button, but nothing on the screen. I had about 35% battery at the time but all of a sudden it was at 0, after putting it on the charger it spring back into life. Today however i experienced an even worse problem... My battery was around 55% and i was connecting my phone to my cars bluetooth and importing contacts to the cars console, suddenly the battery went from 55% down to 9% instantly! i was shocked and took a screenshot of the battery graph showing its gradual decline from 100% to 55% but not to 9% to highlight the sudden drop, the battery status on the top of the notification bar was showing 9% all of a sudden but the graph wasnt just to actually see the drop! after that drop in battery it only took about a 30 seconds for that 9% of battery to jump down to 1% again in an instant fashion, following this only a few seconds later it shut down.I was thinking it could just be a dodgy battery for whatever reason but after trying to charge my phone after this sudden crash from 55%-9%-Flat i was unable to charge it up. The phone would signify that it was charging but not giving me a percentage, it would show the charging animation (the animation you get when phone is off and charging) but would only last for around 3-5 seconds before shutting off again and showing the charging icon again, and then shutting off again and rinse and repeat on a loop without charging but attempting too and resetting every few seconds! So for about an hour i couldnt get it to boot/charger properly and i almost gave up, but i decided to try a different charger, i was using the 25w supplied charger but i switched to a 15w older one and the phone ran the charge animation again however this time it identified the battery was charged at 55% rather that it not showing any charge level and resetting and trying again as it did before, this time it went right to 55% and from here the phone booted up and is working normally again!
Im really not sure whats wrong, im starting a process to send the phone back but i really wish to know whats wrong with my device! if anyone has any clue to this strange behaviour please let me know!
