Q. My s3 stop charging 100% last week ,since then maximum i can charge it is 74% and i thought my battery getting weaker or something.
For some reason i borrowed my brother's nokia phone USB (i'm glad i did that) and charged my phone using my s3 charger and it charged my phone 100% then today i tried again with my s3 USB and again i cant charge my phone over 74% .
it's pretty strange ,it's just the cable that preventing it from charging over 74% . THE CABLE ! it don't have any chip or something to give commands ,it's just a wire.
A. You need to buy an OEM (Samsung) charger and USB cable.
All cords are different, in your case you have a terribly cheap cord.
Don't buy the $3 cords on eBay, theres a reason why OEM cords are $20 or so, and ones on eBay are $3. eBay ones will slowly but surely fry your phone/battery.
Cellphone chargers hurting phone or battery - Is it true?
Q. I've been looking for a replacement charger online and Samsung sells them so expensively!! I have a Samsung Galaxy S II T989 (for T-mobile) and I read on a website that bad chargers not from the manufacturer or OEM can actually hurt/ruin your phone. However, it never explained how or why. Anyone know the reason or what can happen using a "bad charger"?
Here's the website that I got the info from: http://www.discountcell.com/cellular/cell-phone-chargers.htm
A. It's not that big of a deal. They just want to sell their chargers because they make a huge margin on them. They get the chargers for 2 bucks and sell them for 30. Look up the standard usb amperage on the internet and get a cheap charger that is close or the same. If your phone gets hot or charges too fast, the charger is too powerful.
How to properly charge mobile phone? *Best answer*?
Q. So, I just got a new samsung galaxy S, and just wanted to know whether your pattern of charging the battery really matters or not. I had another samsung for a year, which I just charged whenever I thought of it. I have the feeling now that the battery of the previous samsung is less durable than it was (after only a year).
So I want to know, what is the best thing to do? Is it necessary to let the battery drain almost completely before you charge it, does it matter whether I stop the charging before the battery hits 100%, does it matter if I just plug it in the computer for an hour to upload files on it (plugging it in the USB also makes the phone charge the battery)?
Only answer if you really KNOW the answer, not if you 'heard it from someone', because more rumours don't help me out.
Thanks
A. First battery charge should be done as directed in the manual.
Swapping out the OEM battery for an Extended Life battery is always a good option, especially if the battery does not need a battery door swap, for one that sticks out.
No need to let the battery die completely, before charging, charge as you feel you need to. A partially charged battery can be topped off when ever you want to, during your commute in the car when using GPS, at work, especially when making a lot of calls using bluetooth, are always a good times to top off or use AC.
The newer batteries and phones, have circuitry to prevent over charging, so once the battery is charged, it's not going to harm the battery or the phone to leave it plugged in, unless you are using a charger not made for the phone (then all bets are off). Same voltage, but higher amps can damage the phone and the battery. Same voltage but lower amperage will/may charge the battery slower, or possibly not at all if charging a dead battery.
