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.
Samsung galaxy s3 loses power while, charging.?
Q. I've had this phone for a little more that 1/2 a year. And it charged fine when I was using it to read or watch videos. Now it starts to lose power while charging when I watch a video or do anything really. How can I fix this?
A. Assuming the charger is working properly, sounds like the battery may need to be changed...
Before doing so you could also try to drain the battery completely (let the phone power off after battery drains), then charge the phone until battery full, then let battery drain fully again by letting phone turn itself off, then charge it fully again... don't leave phone plugged in when phone is fully charged, and don't topup the charge until battery fully drains, such actions will weaken your battery life, repeating this procedure can sometimes restore the battery life... if not then you most likely will need to get a new battery.
based on reviews here are some good batteries replacements from amazon:
http://amzn.to/1lCcR39 (2200 mAh)
or a more powerful one (this battery comes with a replacement cover because battery is extra big)
http://amzn.to/1lCdbPe (4400 mAh)
or one even much more powerful
http://amzn.to/1ghyb1w (7200 mAh)
this brand is got very good reviews, and the reason i also recommended it, is because i recently also purchase one of their portable power packs 15000 mAh http://amzn.to/1lCdtWu (this portable charger has 2 usb power connections to charge 2 devices at same time and also has a torch light, i'm very happy with mine)
If you prefer to get an official OEM replacement battery, then see this one http://amzn.to/1lCdMAo
Good Luck!
