Help S3 Won't Charge/ Discharges Quickly

[saluki450]

Hello all,

I have a GS3 on T-Mobile that's about a year old. About two weeks ago I noticed the battery won't charge, and when it read a 100% charge it would discharge quickly. I replaced it with an Ankher 2200maH battery and had the same problem. Today I did the factory reset and still no luck, I'm having the same issues. I only charge it with the factory charger that came in the package. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Sounds like you need to replace the charger

I use my charger and my wife's charger, and I have the same issue with both.

Try blowing out the charging port with some "air in a can".

I assume when you say you tried your wife's charger, you also used her cord?

Yes, I use her cord. I just tried blowing out the charging port. I'll see what happens over the next few days. Thanks!
