Long battery charging time

---

Hi, just wanted to ask how long does it take to charge battery on the average. My battery charging time has increase from 2 hours to 3. 5 hours. Usually I charge with about 25% left. It still takes more than 3 hours. I have had this s3 for just 2 weeks. Thanks in advance.

Is a bit over 3 hrs....

try this app to see if your phone is receiving proper charge .... install current widget from google play

default charge is 1000 ma (wall charger)
default usb charge 450 ma

with the siyah kernel stweeks you could increase wall charge to 1200 ma + usb to 900 ma

hope it is usefull

Thanks very much. I installed the app and I am only getting 466ma while using wall charger. Is that acceptable?

I had the same problem after jb update now after changing the usb cable its back to normal...the problem is with the defective 4 pin usb cable bundled with few of our phones...so the only solution is buy a 5 pin usb cable of some other brand( htc , ,soney, lg..) that should solve your problem.

Just to follow it up:
Yes I can confirm that it is a cable problem. All my test were done while running the Current widget app.

Using:
My charger and my cable = 466ma
Wife's charger and her cable = 999ma
Wife's charger and my cable =466ma
My charger and wife's cable =999ma

From this i can tell that the probkem is my cable.

But I think I fixed it. I tried blowing the pins on my cable so dust would clear.
And to my surprise, I got 999ma using my charger and my cable.

Anyway thanks to all. Hope that's the end of it.
