[Q] S3 charges only in Download Mode

[Scytale]

Hello XDA

This is the first Q I have I managed to work my problems off by myself to this point. Straight to the matter at hand:

My S3 stoped to charge normally on:

• Wall socket solid cable charger
• Wall socket usb cable charger
• USB plug to a PC
• External battery

On a turned off device it only shows the loading battery no charging
On a turned on device in normal boot it shows charging but no charge is applied (checked with various software)

It only charges in Download mode (slowlly due to the fact of a turned on screen)

I tried diffrent chargers, cables even batteries nothing really helps
Also its not being recognized by the PC when plugged in in normal boot but it's being discovered in Download Mode.

I was able to flash Stock Rom by ODIN but it also didnt produce a solution.
The only thing that comes to mind is to flash with a repartition but i cannot find the proper *.pit file and I don't want to do this before consulting the community.

I can reset the counter and send it to the service but I think that this is a software issue not a HW one.

Can anyone offer some assistance?


UPDATE:
The device when booted normally and pluged into "holds the charge" it dosent go up but it doesnt go down.

Pretty fun !

I think it's an issue with your kernel. Have you flash your device with a custom ROM and/or kernel ?

Well I was running PAC Rom for S3 at the time so the Kernel was based from that.
After that I Changed to XXEMA2 CodecROM 1053 Black Edition with Siyah Kernel still same outcome... And after that returned to the roots with Stock ROM with Stock Kernel

I have the exact same problem on my Galaxy S III for Sprint (SPH-L710). Did you ever find a fix for this???

Same Problem

I have the exact same problem on my Galaxy S III for Sprint (SPH-L710). Did you ever find a fix for this???

I have the same problem too.
Did anyone ever fix it?

The phone charges when in recovery/download mode, pulling 300 mA from PSU, but only 60mA when connected and turned on.
Im using a normal usb cable, and have short the D+ & D- Pins.

I've charged the battery in a third party battery charger and that works fine, I also have a wireless charger that too pulls around 60 mA

Maybe you all need to change the USB connector module at the bottom of the phone? I've seen these break or do strange things in many phones including Samsungs. Not sure if they eventually get broken due to overheating or what the issue is, but that would be my guess.
