Hi, I have an T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999.

Basically, I have two problems. First my phone I will not charge to any charger beside my brother's Galaxy Note charger but the thing is, It will decharge it too before it decides charges it up to 100.

Another thing about that is when my phone is at a certain charge level like 30ish-5ish % it will turn on my phone but u can see the blue light at the top is flickering and when it turns on the phone flickers off.

I have almost had this phone probably 3 yrs by now, It's a hand me down phone my mother gave me and before it used not act up strange...Is it me or is something just fully wrong with the phone? I tried to put back to factory setting but it still flickers and wont charge properly
 
Welcome to Android Central! It could be a failing battery, a faulty microUSB port, or a failing motherboard. Try other charging cables and wall charger plugs. If that doesn't help, then try a new battery. If that doesn't help, then it's probably time for a new phone.
