Thats odd. Try this:

Discharge the battery completely until the phone shuts off. Plug in the cable and then let it charge while the phone is off (best to do at night). Leave it there for at least 4 hours. Then power it on and check if it fully charged.

This is happening to my phone too..(brand new s3) .found it extreamly odd...its been doing it for about 2 weeks but i just havent given it much thought but now im proper noticing the 88% each time... i left over night....still 88% freaky! how do i fix this or do i need to go and complain and get a new phone/ battery...
i want answers as to why this happend....is it a dodgy battery or a bug/ virus??? or a common problem...can it affect my phone in any way...is my phone retarded or a 'special' phone ..special needs that is. can this possess any risk to my phone.? what else could this affect? coz doesnt power saving come on after a certain %...oh i dont know im just so worried!

You can try to go to Recovery Mode - wipe battery stats in the advance menu. Drain the phone fully then charge it and do it for 3 or 4 cycles.

Most likely its because the plug doesnt have enough power to charge!

Change your plug, then it will work
It happened to my Note 3

Galaxy (A/S)3 etc not charging beyond 88% (approx)?
Suspect it is a software glitch.
The only way I have overcome this is to:-
Switch off, Charge, Reboot
et voila: 100% charge and the battery easily lasts all day.
In the meantime w8 until an update cures it.

I have tried disconnecting the charger the reconnecting. That usually works. Also I found it charged more efficiently when the phone (device) is off.

Simply you need to get another battery. However, if that doesnt work thertes only one other thing to do is...

GO BUY YOU A BRAND NEW PHONE. I mean why keep spending money on the same phone that you know for yourself that aint gone work after you think of something that may be the problem that might fix your phone that youre trying to fix.

Here are some custom ROMs that we can put on this phone to reduce such firmware related bugs and problems: techshali.com/best-roms-galaxy-s3/
