[Nexus 7 General] GeneralCrocket:
No, Google made the tablet better. It's now smoother than the old one will ever be, because it has JB and consistent updates.

If you want us all to just agree on a certain tablet and not pay much attention to suggestions, than be my guest.

Just, please, for your own good, don't get that $100 piece of junk.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigmaamit:
Hi everyone. I own a GS3 that has been running flawlessly for about 3 weeks but since last 2 days it has developed a problem whereby it only charges via the laptop USB port and not the wall charger. I have tried factory reset, flashed two different custom ROMs based on two different firmwares, pulled battery many times, etc etc, to no avail.

The problem is random, and occasionally the phone starts charging from wall charger, but after a few minutes, charging stops. I have used the original Samsung charger, my old HTC charger, with a combination of many different USB cables and the result is always the same. The USB port appears to be undamaged however as I can use it flawlessly for everything except wall charging - that includes HDMI, USB OTG purposes, laptop file transfer etc.

Any help would be much appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g4rvd4:
Some inexplicable weirdness.

Try to return the phone. If you can reproduce the problem in the Samsung service centre they'll repair/replace for sure.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceo.mtcl:
When you connect to laptop, does it recognize it as a mass storage? Are you able to transfer files?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigmaamit:
Yes, it shows up as a Media Device and I'm able to use it normally for transfers etc. There is absolutely no problem when connected to laptop, The issue is inability to charge from wall charger - any kind, and even that is sporadic. For example, if i try connecting wall charger and the phone doesn't charge, I can jumpstart it by connecting to USB port on my laptop for a few minutes, and then when I connect it to the wall charger, it starts charging again... but this lasts only a few mins before it stops charging again. With USB however, it never stops and charges all the way upto 100%
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
did you tried a full wipe via odin? also can you charge your mobile offline via AC? as you said you can transfer data perfeclty via usb it seems the port is damaged at all. One more thing, did you tried charging with different plug points?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigmaamit:
Yes bala I have tried every single PowerPoint at home. No difference. The problem is sporadic.

What do you mean offline charging? Do you mean airplane mode?

I haven't tried a wipe using Odin...but I have done a full wipe and system format and clean installed CheckRom v2 after the full wipe via CWM recovery.

Is wiping via Odin different from wiping via CWM ?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
i meant charging the phone after turning it off.

odin generally flashes all partitions so it should be better than cwm in this case.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigmaamit:
Yup I tried offline charging too. Phone didn't charge with wall charger. Needed to plug in the USB cable into laptop and it started charging.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moustic_moustic:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigmaamit:
I have tried three different chargers. Two Samsung and one HTC. Same problem. Full Odin flash is in order I guess... but I'm not in my hometown right now so don't have the bill etc for warranty. When I get back to Delhi I'll try calling in for a replacement.

For now I flashed the latest cfroot via Odin and looks like the charging issue is gone for now, but like I said before it is a random thing...can occur anytime. I'll keep a lookout for this...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunny1119:
same problem since yesterday, infact i m not able to charge throught either of wall charger or usb port.....after i reboot my around 2-3 times i can charge back through wall charger but as soon as i connect back to pc it stops charging.....could this because i m using a diffrent usb cable in pc?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanceOff:
I think i know the reason

The charging port has many pins(see the usb port in light, you will see metal pins having gap in between of them) inside it

pc and charger connects to different pins, so I think charger pins would be damaged or covered with an insulator like dirt

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigmaamit:
So it looks like this problem is more common than I thought it was...and I'm not the only one...

Will have to do some more reading up on this. BTW, tried a small fix and the charging seems to be OK now... but will have to test it for a couple more days to actually declare it a "fix". Let's see what happens over the next 24-48 hours.

When plugged into PC I can transfer files etc but its not charging.

It charges via wall charger though, but I prefer to charge via USB.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigmaamit:
I really don't know what we should attribute this problem to... I'm going to try getting a warranty replacement, but I seriously doubt Samsung is going to entertain that as the problem is sporadic and not consistently demonstrable....

Maybe I'll just wait till the USB dies totally before claiming warranty...

Any solution for stock rom.

My wife recieved her device yesterday. 1st charge worked just fine from wall charger, top ups worked fine from usb charger after hammering the device! However, when charged overnight, it only went from 30% to 40%.

After a reboot it appeared to be charging properly again from the wall charger. :confused:

Do we think this is hardware or software failure??

Should I send it back or monitor the situation for a while?

Any advice would be much appreciated. :(

I had the exact same problem with my Galaxy Note. USB charging was OK but Wall charger work 50-50. Some times it works fine and some times it makes a problem. i sold that mobile and now i bought the S3. currently S3 is working f9 ALLAHDULILLAH

I also have a problem with the S3.

Charges OK with the wall charger, plug it into the PC, doesn't charge. The battery symbol says its charging but the perentage charge does not change even if left overnight.

Reconnect the phone to the AC charger, and the phone refuses to charge. If the phone is at say the battery is at 75%, it will stay at that figure indefinitey.

Reboot the phone and it commences charging again and will recharge to 100%.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zero One:
Thats the exact problem I have.

However when I connect the phone to another computer besides mine the phone charges.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigmaamit:
It sometimes depends on the USB port you are using. Older computers with USB v1.1 etc supply less than adequate charge so your phone may not be charging. USB v2 and above supply much more current which is adequate to charge and run newer power hungry devices. This is the reason you'll see many external hard drives ship with a y shaped USB cable in which case you need to plug in 2 usb ports on the computer to supply ehough juice to the hard drive so that it can run....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zero One:
My computer is USB 2.0, I dont think thats the problem
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zero One:
I just solved my problem.

Turned out that the Power supply was the culprit.

I replaced my old no name power supply with the Thermaltake Black widow 850 watts plugged in my S3 and vola!!!!! it started charging via the USB port.

Apparently the old power supply was under powering the USB 2.0 ports.

Which means that the problem the OP has could be that the socket he is using to charge is faulty or his house has an electrical problem.

I am having a USB/Charging issue too. I wont charge from the wall at all. If I plug in to my computer, nothing happens. But if I reboot it starts charging. But I cant transfer files at all. Windows says "damged usb device". I also tried a USB jig. Nothing happens at all. If I turn off the phone auto boot by itself. And sometimes i starts up in car mode and opens SVoice. Dammit! I have to turn it in. And there is no way I could flash via Odin. Currently running stock ROM. I all started happening on CM10. So I tried flashing stock ROM via mobile odin. didnt fix anything

It all started happening yesterday. Everythning was working before that.

Edit: And the phone can go into landscape on stock rom. Both on lockscreen and launcher. I think the phone think its plugged in all the time.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] npspears:
Do you mean updates from your carrier? I'm not sure the answer, but since it looks like you have an international Ion you should be able to unlock the bootloader, so you would just have to flash the upgrades manually if you can't receive maintenance OTA

If I'm wrong someone please speak up
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
If you unlock the BL then you will be unable to do OTA updates or updates through PC Companion unless you relock the bootloader first.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] groggrog:
I'm pretty sure I'm asking the same question as above but want to get some clarification in less technical-speak: I recently switched from AT&T iPhone 4 to AT&T S3 and ended up switching back to the iPhone. I kept the Android though because I'm hoping that Jelly Bean solves the one major issue that was a showstopper for me: subpar support for USB audio on the S3, and any Android as far as I'm aware. One of the main uses of a mobile device for me is the ability to do USB audio in the car with it, both with audio stored on the device and streaming. I drive a 2011 Lincoln MKX with the Ford/Lincoln Touch system in it, and the iPhone seems to work great over USB audio. The Android only works with audio stored on the device, so I have to switch over to bluetooth in order to do streaming (Spotify, Pandora, etc.), and then the track/artist/etc. info doesn't show onscreen.

Does anybody know if Jelly Bean will allow streaming audio over USB? I'd love to switch back to Android but that's holding me back.

Thanks much

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stevesprivateaccount:
I don't know if this helps, but under the settings - doc menu, there is an audio when docked option which should allow for Audio over USB. It at the very least allows analog sounds over USB with certain CAR docks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] groggrog:
No luck with that option. The main difference I see between Android and iPhone is the iPhone will interrupt whatever audio is playing whenever you switch apps to play something new. Android will only play the native apps. So, for example, I plug my Android into USB. It'll start playing whatever's stored on the device, and if I open say Pandora it'll look like Pandora's playing but the audio will still be of the stored audio. The iPhone will fade the stored audio and play Pandora instead. That's the function I'm really looking for that's missing from Android.

Hi all,

I'm sorry about my stupid question but I really don't know nothing about that :D. I had rooted and flashed my NS and installed the matr1x kernel (very good btw), and now I knew that JB will be available to NS. My question is, need I back to stock kernel to receive the update?

Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andezzat:
Gnng

You have to understand that installing an OTA (official update) on a rooted device regardless of what kernel can cause problems, as it did with my Nexus S before. I suggest you make a NANDroid backup at all times before you install any ROMs, official or Custom. You can also use Titanium backup and others.

There's still a slight while until the new JB 4.1 comes out. It's suggested that you install a Custom JB 4.1 ROM for your Nexus S as though you don't cause any problems. I think it's OK if you do it with the kernel pre-installed. But people always install the Custom ROM THEN they install the Kernel, I think installing a new ROM always overwrites the kernel, if it comes with it.

EDIT:

In short, wait for the JB Custom ROM and you don't have to revert back to stock kernel, when you do the update it will automatically overwrite. Most Custom ROMs come with Stock/ordinary kernels. So then the user can flash whatever kernel they like in your case, matr1x.

Wish you the best of luck, and I am waiting for the Nexus S JB to come out as soon as possible :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Ota binary patches the boot image iirc. So it can get all messed up.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnng:

Thank you very much for the help.

I didn't any backup before flashing a new kernel :crying:, so what can I do now if I want my stock kernel back?? What's a NANDroid (I know that is a tool but how can I do it?) :p? Is Titanium bkp easily?

I prefer wait for stock JB Rom and probaby I'll , but, can I already find some JB ROM?

I don't need to remove the kernel even unroot my cell, alright?

Thank you!!
