AT&T S3 not charging when screen is on

My S3 has started a strange charging problem and I hope someone here can help. My S3 has been charging fine and showing the LED, but since I plugged the phone into my laptop USB, now the phone stops charging if the screen is on. It doesn't matter if it is connected to a wall outlet or USB.....turn on the screen and the LED goes out and the unit stops charging. Under "Battery" options in settings it shows as connected and charging, but it isn't actually charging any. Use the power button to turn off the screen and the LED lights back up and the unit starts charging for real. I've turned off the LED(unchecked it) then turned it back on....no difference. Rebooted etc.....nada.
Phone is bone stock AT&T and I'm new to Android. Hoping it is a simple setting that somehow got changed.

Led is supposed to turn off when charging and screen is on.

You misunderstood part of the post. Not only does the LED turn off, it stops charging with the screen on. Under Battery options it "says" the battery IS charging, but it really isn't. Battery level continues to drop. Turn off the screen and it starts actually charging again.

Well it may be because you are using more power than its putting into the phone. Or it may just be defective. Have you tried another Rom yet?

Are you using the USB cable that came with your S3? Is your laptop plugged in our running on battery when this happens? I also believe that you might be using more amps to run the screen and Wi-Fi and whatever else is running on the phone than the USB can output. What generation USB port is in your laptop?

If there is a thunderbolt on the battery icon, then that means it's charging. When you turn on the LED option when charging, it only turns red when the screen is off, and turns green when it's full.

Your laptop doesn't put out enough juice

[HELP] Just received N4 won't charge / won't turn on after first boot

My brother opened his N4 today and after setting up his account and WiFi noticed he couldn't open any apps. Some apps would just show the "X has stopped working" message, including the Settings app, and others would just display a blank screen (white).
After turning off the phone, it doesn't turn on anymore. It doesn't vibrate nor does it seem to boot-loop. When you plug the AC charger, there is no charging indicator or battery icon, nothing. But if you press the power button, the LED starts flashing RED after 5-10 seconds while you hold it down. It's the same situation if it is plugged via USB to a computer. Can't get into the boot loader since it just doesn't turn on.
Is there something else I could try? I looked through the forum and read a few posts with similar issues, but they all seemed to have occurred after the user flashed a custom recovery, kernel or ran some benchmark.

I would call and get a replacement.

Switch off the phone. Then press volume up and then power button. Then connect to PC.

I had tried this many times,nothing happened.

The screen should be black and stuff written like battery OK, USB connected, etc. Anyway if you did try that then update drivers, rsdlite and open rsd with administrator privileges.

1.I've charged the battery with travel charger
2.I've bought a new battery
3.I've tried 3 USB cables
When I connect DEFY+ to the PC,the white led flashes once and then goes off.

Clock not being displayed while phone is plugged in

I went to settings > display and i see something called daydream, and its turned on. when i click on it, the clock is checked and the settings for that are digital and night mode selected. But when i plug the phone in to charge, the clock is not displayed. Any ideas?

U have to let it timeout, ahter u walk away, and let it sit, it'll come on. Also make sure its set to run when charging ...

Confirmed this to be working . Let the phone power itself off, don't push power button to put it to sleep.

Any way to turn off usb plug wake screen?

Is there any way to turn off when the screen wakes up when usb is plugged in or when it's unplugged? I know there is an xposed module which I have used to good effect, but I just got my phone set up nicely without xposed and I'd like to keep it that way.

Do u mean in settings/pc connection/ask upon connecting unticked?
