S3 Battery Taking Too Long to Charge

[Pouya Parsa]

Hi, this has happened to me before, Try to remove and connect your charger several times from your phone!, this may fix it! otherwise it might be a hardware related problem of your phone. and don't charge it with usb on laptop or etc., one of my friends has told me this is cable problem but I dunno how!

It doesn't, it's supposed to drain your battery...

Thankyou for your post . I have had problems with my S3 charging the last 4 months & thought it may have been the battery but when i saw your post about the USB cable i still used the Samsung plug but switched the USB cable for am old Motorola one & the phone charged 55% in just over an hour whereas it had taken it about 12 hours to charge 45 % !

Hi, I own an S3 Neo that I bought back in november 2014. During the past weeks, I noticed it is taking too long (more than 3 hours) to charge my battery to at least 70%. I tried using the other charger as well but it did not work.

As previously posted, and every single time I have had this issue, it was the cord. Check to see if there is lint or what not in the charger port of the phone.

I solved the problem a couple of months ago by reading another thread that it may be the USB cable , so i charged the phone with a Motorola USB cable & it charges up really quickly now .
