I am so sorry but I cannot remember because I rooted my phone the first day I got it. Does the phone turns itself on when you plug it into the charger? Mine does.
I'll turn the phone off.
Plug the phone to the charger.
The phone turns itself on.
Is thIs normal?
Mine doesn't. Did not do it stock either.

This gave me a lot of grief when I flashed ICS. Try plugging it into a computer or different charger. My note wasn't charging, so I thought it best to turn it off to charge. Damn phone wouldn't stay off and if I pulled the battery and plugged it in it'd just keep vibrating. Check the charger, Samsung's are apparently a lot more picky than HTC, Motorola etc, because my wife's skyrocket goes all retarded on the thing too, yet it works fine for every other device I've plugged into it

Mine does. Did it on stock Gingerbread, and the leaked ICS. My HTC HD2 did that as well with just about every ROM in it I can think of, including the ICS one. They all turn themselves off in whatever the timeout is set to, unless you have the screen set to stay on when charging.

It's all about the usb cable u are using.
I was using a data usb cable so whenever i plug the phone, the phone turns on thinking it's connecting to a computer. I tried using the usb cable that came with the phone and it did not do the problems i posted this thread.
I am not sure how different the Samsung usb cable is to the one i have but i found it to be the fix to my issue. Im only using a different usb cable because the stock one was too short.
Hope this helps
I had that problem at home with a specific no-name aftermarket charger - it was the charger, not the cable, because I switched the cable to a different charger and it stayed off (it was a data cable BTW).
Hadn't tried this with my computer at work or a charger I have at work - it did not turn on when plugged into the computer but DID turn on when I plugged it into the charger. This charger was the one that came stock with my HTC Advantage, with a mini-to-micro adapter on the end.

To me, it's the cable, not the charger.
I was using the same charger (Samsung OEM, the one that came with the phone). The only thing I changed was the cable.
Interesting. I'd love to know what is causing the phone to turn on - a certain voltage, pulsing voltage, whatever...

I'm having a very serious problem that has just started with my Evo 3D.
I connect my phone to my wall charger before I go to bed. It says it's charging and has the little lightning bolt in the battery. I go to sleep .... when I wake up the phone is completely dead and still connected to my charger. Trying to turn it on is unsuccessful. Connecting it to my computer makes no difference as well. The only way to get it back on and charging normally is to go outside to my truck and connect it to the car charger. Magically it works like normal again.
I notice that when the phone comes back on, the battery is completely drained at 0%. Any ideas what the problem is? I went to sprint about it yesterday and they said if it keeps happening to bring it in which I will be forced to do but I wont have time for at least a few days because of work.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Phone not charging
by any chance, are you not using the htc oem charger? i have noticed in the past that i have that same issue with some of my friends chargers that arent htc oem. Try a different house charger. Seems the htc ones might put out a little extra juice or something because the off brands and motos say they're charging, but battery keeps dropping

I'm using the home charger that came with the phone BUT a USB cord I bought off monoprice.
The car charger i use is an iPod charger with a usb plug in. I'm using that one with the original USB cord that came with the phone. I didn't even think about using the original cord for charging over night. I'll try that tonight and see how it goes. Will report in the morning.
Is it possible you are using a USB cable designed for data only? Some do not have the charging pins intact, they are meant strictly for data.

It worked for a few months so I cant imagine that being the problem.
But using the original HTC usb cord worked just fine. No more monoprive USB cables for me.

I bought like 3 Blackberry micro USB cables off Ebay. They are the best I have used so far. The cable themselves are wrapped thicker and they are a good length. Much more stout and higher quality than most of the cheapies out there.

Recently I traded my galaxy nexus for a galaxy tab 10.1. But whenever I plug it into a computer or an outlet there's a red x on the battery... it charges reallllly slow. I left it to charge for nine hours from an outlet while turned off, and it went from 5% to 55%. WOW. That's really slow. So I thought that the problem is the cable so I bought a new cable that came with a car adapter. And it worked like a charm in the car. However when I traded I kept the 3 pronged galaxy nexus charger. So anyways I arrived home happy, but I wanted to test it in the computer... Red x again. I tried the wall outlet, again with the x. I tried the wall outlet with 110v and 220v still red x. Then I looked at both outputs on the wall charger and car charger both had the same output which is 5volts and 1A. Then I looked at the input and the car charger was 12-24VDC and the wall outlet was 100-240v and 50Hz and 0.15A. I need help please.
I have 3.2 honeycomb and P7500.
I think that this is an internal issue software wise.
If you need anymore information don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks in advance

On stock settings u wont be able to charge the device connected to ur computer and u will get the Red X on the battery icon! Therez a small tweak to activate that feature to activate charge on pc connect but u will loose the mtp connection. As far as this issue... Seems to be a battery proble. Still try to flash and get to stock to confirm.

What do you mean by loosing mtp? Also I'm a bit noobish at this because I just switched from ios. So can you dumb Down what you said a little. And what do you mean by "still try to flash and to get stock to confirm."
Also my problem is wall charging.

I get that if I try use galaxy nexus charger, however if I charge my galaxy nexus with the tab 10.1 charger I have no problems, make sure your using the correct charger, and for the slow charging I have a USB extension cable if I use that it can take up to 12 hours for a full charge
By charger do you mean cable or outlet?
Sent from my GT-P7500 using xda app-developers app
simplest answer is that the red X means that you're not supplying enough voltage to your tablet. You need 2A (A = Amps), computer USB ports generally do 500mA (1/4 of what you need). Phones usually need less. So the reason your tablet won't charge off the phone charger is because it doesn't supply enough voltage; the phone does fine on the tablet charger because it's just oversupplied (don't worry, your phone won't be damaged by this!)
So what you need is:
1) an original charger for this particular tablet (the cable probably isn't the issue, but I've seen cables that can't transmit the full voltage. The nook color is a good example of this)
2) a 2A charger - can't promise any particular ones work though...
3) (and this is the one you should do): You're on XDA. This is a place for folks who root and install custom ROMs on their devices. Most of the ROMs have USB charging built-in (in the Kernel; don't worry about what that means). Install a custom ROM (I'd suggest AOKP). Problem solved, plus you've increased both performance and functionality of your device exponentially. If you're not willing to do this, XDA probably isn't the place for you anyways.

The outlet , the one for my tab is twice as big as my Gnex one, I guessing they both give out different power, get the official charger!! like I said I can replicate that any time I want by using the tab cable with my Gnex outlet,

I found a solution to a problem that was really vexxxxing me. One of my chargers was working and the other (longer lead) all of a sudden started showing the red cross. Ahhh. The solution (http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...galaxy-tab-10-1-not-charging-brand-new-3.html) was to blow very hard on the 30 pins of the charger and hey presto - started charging again without the red cross.
There are solutions to this problem with quite a few custom ROMs. Task's ICS for example has this patched. I am quite certain there are others.
Haven't used the prime much since picking up my SGS3, but I powered it on and plugged in the charger. It made a audible 'ding' and flashed a picture of a battery. Didn't think much of it but about 15 minutes later noticed it wasn't charging. Checked settings-->Battery and said not charging. Plugged into usb and pc recognized it, popped up the auto play and the prime did the same screen flash of a battery and ding. Can transfer files fine, did a few pics. But still not charging according to 'battery' in settings and % is still dropping .... Any ideas?

I have the same issue, try charging it through the keyboard dock. I find if I plug it in directly to the tablet it trickle charges but says its not (will only go up slowly and only when screen is off possibly even the tablet itself), its to do with the charger, it is has some sort of transistor to switch it between 5V and 15V so I've heard, prime requires the 15V, but it gets stuck in 5V - only plugging it in to the keyboard dock works for me.
Whether what I've said above is true I don't really know I'm only going off what I've read, if anyone has a fix for this please mention it!!

Well before I went to bed last night, I plugged in my prime to my PC, powered off and went to sleep. Wake up, turn it on, and I'm still at 38% and dropping. Hasn't charged at all. But PC see it just fine still. I'm baffled! Anyone else have some insight?
When you guys charge your prime, do you get a battery image flashed on the screen? It's maybe 3" diagnal and an audible 'ding'? Last time I used it, it updated the firmware to the .28 and I really didn't use it after so I don't remember how it acts when it get plugged in for charging.

After.28 was pushed I noticed my prime was NOT charging. I checked the connection, the ends, the port...nothing.
I then called Asus and they told me to plug into PC and let it charge to over 50%...It sat uninterrupted connected to my PC for over 10 hours...this is a very slow charge...they then told me to call back and they would basically wipe data through Android Recovery to find out if it's software or hardware related.
After it charged to 75% on my PC I unplugged and reconnected AC charger....it worked. I didn't wipe data, I think it just needed that trickle charge. Similar to the first charge 8+ hours...
Good luck with it, I'd call Asus...I'm just telling you what they told me...I never called back cause it worked...
Yes it shows when you connect AC adapter, and yes it's audible tone
DROID DOES, Apple did...like I forgot when
I had a very similar issue, and really got nervous when my apple USB charger still didn't do more than a trickle. Then I read the power specs on the asus charger and realized it's got more power, so I went and bought another charger and sure enough that worked right off the bat.
Once it charged I did some troubleshooting and realized that the power brick itself (even though it wouldn't stay together from the time I got it) was fine, the cable was the problem. My cable appeared to be in mint condition, no visible damage or bent pins or anything, transfers files but only trickle charges. Finally ditched it and now I have one good USB cable and two USB adapters.
I got my charger for $25.00 at office depot I think, 30 was regular and it had a discount or something I believe.
reset switch
I ran into this today again. There is a little hole on the left side of the tablet with a hard reset switch in it. Stick a pin in there (quite deep) and the switch will reset the tablet and it will start charging again. if it fails repeat the procedure.
Hi everyone. I own a GS3 that has been running flawlessly for about 3 weeks but since last 2 days it has developed a problem whereby it only charges via the laptop USB port and not the wall charger. I have tried factory reset, flashed two different custom ROMs based on two different firmwares, pulled battery many times, etc etc, to no avail.
the phone starts charging from wall charger, but after a few minutes, charging stops. I have used the original Samsung charger, my old HTC charger, with a combination of many different USB cables and the result is always the same. The USB port appears to be undamaged
ny suggestion to fix the problem?
Android 4.0.4
I9300BWLH1
Kernel SIYAH S3 V1.5.2
Well from what i can see the problem doesnt lie in the data cable. So maybe it the wall plug section. Or maybe the the socket itself maybe be faulty.
Problem doesnt seem to be in the phone itself so nothing to worrry about too much.
Maybe buy a travel charger to see if that helps.
Also high recommended that you do check the plug socket to see if anything else charges in there.
Might be worth charging in a different plug socket.
Hope this helps

How about the plug socket. Have you tried to plug something else into the same plus socket to make that it still charges for example plugging your laptop into that same plug socket that your phone was to see if the laptop charges.

Well I thought my phone was broke last week...
It wouldn't charge so I tried my old HTC charger and that wouldn't charge it either but it would via usb to laptop. So I purchased a new wire and that worked, I then tested my HTC charger on my HTC Desire HD and that still worked.
So the SGS3 doesn't seem to charge using a HTC cable unless connected to a computer. Try purchasing a new genuine usb cable
Alternatively, you could wipe battery stats in CWM (in advanced menu) and see if that fixes it

I had the same trouble, only 3 weeks after I bought my SGS3.
I did go to Samsung repair center, and they change the motherboard (under warranty).
2 Month before, same trouble with my SGS2, unfortunatly no warranty.
Samsung ask me for (around) 300$ for motherboard, and I did not do.
I've removed batterie and charge with external battery charger .... and forget it a while.
When I try it later, it was working fine ! What was my surprise !
I can charge it again with charger.... two days after "same player shoot again" : impossible to charge ... then work again :silly: !
I'm having this issue too. There is a whole thread of people having charging issues, and I assumed my problem was the same, however upon further inspection it charges via PC USB cable. That said, this may be the issue with the others in that thread.
My phone definitely seemed to charge by powerpoint when I first got it, but has since stopped.
Charging by PC is a pain, as I use my phone as an alarm, and my PC is in another room.
edit: the lightning icon comes up when I plug it into the wall charger, it just gets no charge. Is this the same as everyone else?

Check your AC adapter, especially if you're using the travel adapter. If the connection is loose, it will think you're charging with USB. Go to your phone settings and make sure it says "Charging (AC)" and not "Charging (USB)"....unless you ARE charging with USB, then it's supposed to be slow...iono about 6 hours though...

Are you charging from computer or the power point. Are you using the charger you got with your phone?
I had the same problem with my phone. Turned out it was the USB cable. Got it replaced from Samsung. You might want to check a different USB cable or a different charger. If you are trying a different charger do make sure the output matches with the stock charger. Also have you tried resetting it back to factory default?

Battery charging incredibly slowly even after switching cables
I got the notification to update my I9300 to Jelly Bean yesterday and went ahead with it. The battery lasted an okay enough time, but I left it plugged in using the stock wall charger overnight. After almost 11 hours, it has only gone from 10% to 75% and I've seen it drop a couple of times while I've gone through the settings. Switching to another charger doesn't seem to make a difference and using the CurrentWidget app shows about 999mA all the time. I haven't rooted it or anything, so it has been difficult to find threads with the exact same issue. Is anyone else experiencing something similar? Thanks!

hi there i just got the same problem as you are getting right now im observing my gs3 and found the charging is very slow 1% evry 30mintues and that the condition is the brightness is low wifi and 3g is off i notice this happen just this morning after 24 hour of chargin using the AC charger from the galaxy s2. right now im using usb cable plugin to the wall out let and also tried plug it in to usb port still having slow charging issue my s3 is JB updated and that it is not rooted, before all this issue happen i was using the same usb cable tha im using bow 2days ago and i have no issue i could watch movie while plugin to the usb port or the wall outlet and im still around 94 to 97% charge with full brightness on and wifi and 3g is on, im in singapore and the outlet here is 220v. ill try to check if might be thusb cable is the issue r not.
my problem is the cable. i used my old samsung phone's charger and it worked!
Same here..
Same problem here, the i9300 charged almost nothing through the night. It recognised the charger as AC. After I woke up, I just took the cable out and reinserted it, then it charged way faster the short while before I went to work. I read somewhere that phones with jelly bean installed OTA over gingerbread could have this problem? I can't really say if it's the charger, the cable or the phone that is the culprit. I have previously had a problem with getting the phone to accept my car charger as well..
The cable you use makes a huge difference.
Best to use the original cable, using an old Nokia cable also works fine.
Be ware of 3rd party cables that for some reason dont deliver sufficient juice to the phone and then it charges very slow....
I guess I should add that I used the original cable and charger. I'll come back with a post if I experience more problems.
