I can reach the custom OS screen. Oct 27, 2 0 10, 0. Aug 11, 1 0 4, 0. Im having the same problem here! But my charger was damaged by a suddent power shut down so i tryed to charge my tab with another charger and it seemed to work out but then my tab turned off and that grey icone keeped on appearing along with a blue bar that indicate level 1 of chaging and then turn off again Exactly the same problem here. Tablet does not show a charging icon, when powered on.

But seems to recognize a plugged in cable somewhat when powered down. But also then the charing is not occuring normally but is shortly vibrating every 5 - 10 seconds, as if a new charger has been plugged in. Does anybody have a solution? I just want to say that I am experiencing the same issues as everyone who has posted here.

This charging issue just started out of no where. Macbook Pro charger will charge the tablet, but no other charger I own will. I have the luck that the issues have gone away now. Unfortunately I cannot tell you what did the trick in the end. I tried several different chargers, and also connected it via usb to my desktop pc.

Thanks for this info, was able to get tablet to charge on notebook USB-C adapter. Also no idea why this happened. Was working perfect then yesterday went to charge it and just buzzed and flickered not charging as shown on this thread.

Today I plugged my OTG cable back into read a flash drive. Check the charger of the Samsung Galaxy S3 if it is not charging. Note any visible damage to the cord. If the cord is damaged, get a replacement and attempt to charge your phone. It is important to use only supported chargers for your phone. The best way to ensure you get a supported charger is to obtain one directly from the manufacturer or your mobile phone provider. Ensure the battery that you are using is approved by Samsung if you recently replaced it.

Samsung recommends only using batteries that are authorized to work with the phone. Failing to use the right battery could lead to irreparable damage to your phone. If the smartphone is not exposed to moisture which is the source of charging problems , an external inspection of the device is recommended.

The swelling of the case may signal a battery dysfunction as well. Shine a flashlight in the smartphone's USB port. Check for deformations or blockages inside the device. Clean the USB port with a toothpick or other thin item without harming the phone, if necessary.

If you are having a severe problem, such as a swollen battery, contact the repair services immediately. It may be that it is no longer possible to fix such a smartphone.
