[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rbtrucking:
When I first got this phone I noticed it charged pretty slow. 5 hours to get to full from 0% but it then got a lot worse. Over night it would only charge from like 18% to 41 so I got a new charger and wall adapter and that seemed to fix it for a couple days but now it is charging slow again. From 70% to 100 it takes about 6-7 hours. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drewmonge:
The only time I've heard of that happening is when people fail to 'condition' their lithium battery properly before normal use.

In other words, upon getting your new phone, and/or battery, you're suppose to allow your battery to fully discharge and then fully recharge 3-5 times to condition your battery before plugging it back in half way through discharge.

It's usually what the carrier sales clerks are suppose to tell you when purchasing a new smartphone.

Here's a simple article on the subject:

I never had/has/have doing it. And I dont have battery issues.

I think the battery calibration/cycle..etc is just a myth.

Go to the store and check for warranty.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rbtrucking:
Could it be a rouge app causing it to take so long to charge? I noticed today Google maps was using a lot more of the battery than usual. Almost as much as the screen. I tried force stopping but it just starts right back up again. Any ideas on how to fix the maps app? I have a feeling that is what is causing it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
I have this problem. It is very annoying and I have no idea what causes it. It doesn't happen all of the time though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dlamber7:
Just sounds like a bad install of something. I would do a factory reset through the stock recovery, and make sure to wipe dalvik cache.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] redram38:
My phone has started charging slowed as well, but mostly when connected to the computer. I made sure my usb ports were set to not allow the computer to shut them off to conserve power and it seems a bit faster. As far as charging and discharging ect ect I don't do that and never had a problem with slow charging and even the couple of times I tried it, the battery life never really improved. So think it is needed and some think it is a waste of time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xciton:
Charging via a computer USB port will always be slow when compared to the higher current capacity of the included AC charger. Computer USB ports have a lower current rating.

Make sure your using the charger that came with the phone, not all chargers are created equally.

There's also been some talk about the quality of USB cable being used, but I haven't found that myself yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] supercholo:
Little bit of info...

I have tried numerous chargers while at work here (Technician) and there are some issues.

Samsung is funny on which chargers it accepts. Very funny.

1. Stardard charger that comes with the device will charge best. (Obvious I know) Using wall charger. (Full charge in 3.5 to 4 hours from 1%)

a. Using USB end plugged into PC while charging takes typically from my tests double the time to charge. (I'm guessing that data connection to PC is slowing the charge. (Full charge in 6 hours from 1%)

2. 3rd Party Generic charge cables (usb cable only) still charges device however stardard power draw is lower and does not charge in a decent time period.

a. Some 3rd Party usb cables plugged into a pc showed charging however they did not keep enough of a draw to actually charge my phone. I lost battery instead of gaining.

3. LG chargers did nothing for me. Couldn't get a decent charge.

Motorola chargers gave me the best charge besides the original.

Chargers with replacement tips... what can I say. They didn't seem like a good idea and weren't. I had too many issues and at times had some overheating issues. Luck of the draw me thinks.

3rd party wall chargers were hit or miss. A few did seem to give me a decent charge, others gave me a very slow trickle charge taking anywhere up to 8-9 hours for a full charge from 1%

All in all... it's a crap shoot using 3rd party cables. It's all based on voltage output and Samsung likes to change things alot. You will still get a charge but who knows the length of time it will take.

Oh and car chargers... typically only good for keeping it at the same level you plugged it in at for short drives. Long drives obviously work much better.

Hope this helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] VexMunja:
About charging: I have noticed that micro USB cable that come with S3 is really bad :mad:- it is loosing a connection to PC,and, beside that, I have noticed several times slow phone charge... Accidentally went to settings- battery - when I was on AC charger and saw in settings that phone is actually charging in USB mode!!! Wtf??? Disconnect usb from bottom end (at charger side) and reconnect and then on phone says " charging - AC" ... So,conclusion is that you check your phone charging status when you put on charger,maybe it is charging in USB mode and because of that phone is charging slower than it should on regular AC power.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] who-knows-ivix:
The only battery issue that i have noticed is when i use my computer to charge it takes forever but when i use the factory wall plug and cable it charges quickly with no issues
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joelunch:
Excellent post supercholo. Really helpful. I was starting to think my phone was broken.

Anyone got any experience with using an ipad charger on an sIII. I know an ipad wants a lot of power to charge.

FYI These are the voltages listed on my chargers;

Apple ipad1 charger 5.1v 2.1a

SAMSUNG s3 wall charger 5v 1a

Samsung Galaxy i9000 wall charge 5v .7a
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sunny4bd2:
Very slow charging with OEM charger.. i9300

This is a fact. The OEM wall charger surely has some issues. Though 1amp output, as claimed on th specs chart, my i9300 charges super slow. From 80% to 100%, it takes nearly 3 hours.

So, i switched chargers and used my S2 and Note OEM wall chargers. And voila, the phone charges super fast. I even ordered a new OEM charger for s3 with the data cable included and the same issue occured.

This has worsened ever since the JB update. So I am now using the S2 charger and very satisfied.

SWTICH OVER GUYS!! OEM charger is useless,,,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] running_the_dream:
I have had my phone on USB to computer charging for 7 hours, with a one hour break to watch Dexter. I was at 18% and I am now at 69%. I think I will have to use the wall adapter because this is just ridiculous.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sunny4bd2:
Usb to pc will always be slow buddy. It outputs 500ma while d wall charger is 1 am:)p

I found my Usb cable faulty. Sent for replacement.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
I know this is not related to Xperia PLAY but it is Sega related and as they have released a few sonic games for our phone I thought I would share this as it may turn out to be something for our phone... unlikely but you never know.

http://www.technobuffalo.com/gaming/platform-gaming/skies-of-arcadia-trademark-renewed-by-sega/
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BrianChase:
I'd say its pretty likely given Sega's excellent support for mobile phones and we have JSR coming up soon. The game only takes up about 2 gigs of space and I'm sure if they felt like it they could compress it a bit beyond that. Cool find though, always great to see some DC love.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
Agreed. I still have my DC and my original copies of skies of Arcadia, grandia 2, shenmue 1 & 2 and about 60 other games. Love the DC. Such an underrated system that never got the attention it should have.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BrianChase:
Oh yes, I believe we've had this talk but the DC sits proudly on my desk at all times connected to my hdtv through a vga adapter for the perfect picture (blows away the ps2). I actually had a copy of SoA I bought at a pawn shop (for a really good price btw) but it ended up not working and I couldn't repair it so I ended up trading it in at the same pawn shop for E.G.G. (This pawn shop was a ****ing treasure trove of Dreamcast ****, got my PAL Shenmue 2 there!). Btw, if you haven't played E.G.G. its a really great hidden gem for the console and one of my favorites.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
E.g.g. is awesome RPG. Elemental gimmick Gear. Great game. And I have always like the Evolution games. Too bad they didn't make any more. I bought the last one made for the gamecube and its not very good. Like the series ran out of gas which is unfortunate. And yes I have my VGA cable box as well and yes it gives awesome picture quality. I also really enjoy the Starlancer game as its made hy the same people who made wing commander on pc. But its notbas good as wing commander. But iblike it because incandescent still play online with it. I bought the sdcard adapter for my dc last year. Lets you play games from the sdcard. Only thing I would love to get but is out of my price range is the broadband adapter. Sigh.....one day

SDcard adapter... mine is not a cable but rather plugs right into the back where the NeoGeo Pocket cable used to go. Got mine for $20 from TaoBao (its like a chinese ebay, have to have a chinese bank account, good thing I still have mine from when I was ther for 6 months 2 years ago. on a side note Buyfromtaobao.com lets USA people buy from that site, there fee is small) The SD adapter is very nice.... you can use the SDcard software you burn on a CD to copy the game form the disc to the SDcard, its slower then snot and takes all night but its a nice way to back up a GD ROM disc. Anyways... shutting up now... see you got me in my old DC emu scene mode.....

[General Questions and Answers] EpicSaga:
Hi, I am trying to find a good tethering app for my friends HTC Ryhme. She downloaded a tethering app called clockwork mod no tether, but her computer does not recognize the phone when it is plugged in. She also is interested in rooting her phone, but I did not see any thread for her phone. Her carrier is Verizon and she was grandfathered into an unlimited data plan. She checked to see if she could get a hotspot for her phone, but Verizon said that it would cost $20.00 a month for 2GB of data even though she has unlimited data. If she is successful in tethering her phone would Verizon make her pay more each month? She just signed up on XDA, April6117. Waiting to be approved.

Hi,

Before you go on to delving about making a Custom Rom for yourself. Try to learn first Linux and familiarize yourself with Java,Javascript, C++, OpenGL in the android SDK.

I saw a video once on a tutorial on "How to build a Custom Rom on android' (credits to the maker of the video) - >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_H4AlQaNa0

Hello! I was just wondering if anyone knows if Supercurio has developed any for the GS3? I LOVED his voodoo sound control app on my sgs1!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliquified:
No, only the international exynos gs3 has the updated Wolfson microelectronics audio chip that is compatible. The US versions have a yamaha chip. Supercurio stated on twitter awhile ago that VZW's decision to lock the bootloader made him not want to develop anything. Perhaps his opinion had changed now that the device is unlocked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tdxloki:
Information Source: kindly provide

Deliquified -

Where did you learn of the Yamaha substitution over Wolfson in the Verizon (US) galaxy S3? Is it possible for you to provide a link to the information or an image of a spec sheet or of the circuit board? I am trying to find a concrete answer because many pages indicate Wolfson is in Verizon S3 and others say it is not.

Bottom line with the Verizon S3 is the audio is terrible when recording video and I am trying to become informed so that I can find a fix.

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] MysticMgcn:
Hopefully this is an easily answered question. Using fastboot what is the reall difference between using "fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob" compared to "fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob"?

Are there times when using one is preferable or needed over the other?

EDIT: Fixed. That's what I get for using copy/paste...

Did you mean to type something different for the second option because I can see NO difference between the two! :confused:

Staging autoflashes a kernel on the next boot.

System is just your system or your rom.

Staging is needed because we can't directly flash kernels.

yes it is? it has a hardness of about 9h on the mohs scale. that would equal scratch resistant.

@ the OP. i've said this to soooo many people already, it is scratch resistant, scratches aren't covered by warranty, and the fact it has scratched means at some point sand/grit or similar has been on the screen and unfortunately scratched it.

thing that winds me up is people making out as if that a screen being scratchable is a manufacturer fault, and that somehow it scratched itself :confused:
