[Q] How to charge tablet without charger? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a problem. I have an android tablet and yesterday it was charging and when I unplugged the charger it ripped everything from charger hole or whatever and it all stayed inside the charger and now I can't charge it. So, is there any way I can charge it? I have tried an app called wi fi charger and it doesn't work, also shake charger. Please help.

Well, I guess there is a way to charge the device if your device posses removable battery, you can get universal mobile charger buy paying few buck and if you can't remove the batter then I guess nope there isn't any other way out other than fixing the charger jack. :cyclops:

Yeah, I guess it is a good idea. You can try getting another spare battery and a universal mobile charger. So you can charge the two alternately. I get my old tablet battery a change from kingsbuying.com. So far so good.

Prime won't charge

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.

Nexus 10 charging time, with graph

Hi *@*,
I like to know exactly how long my gadgets need to charge, so I made this graph.
-charging started at 1% battery left
-WiFi/sync ON, display OFF
-original 5V/2A charger and cable used
Total charging time: 6h 8min, about 18%/h (between 0% and ~80%).
Enjoy!

I thought I saw in an article that it looked like Google/Samsung was going to have a pogo charger in box, but pulled it at "the last minute." Don't know if it's true, but a bummer all around that we didn't get one.
Also, this comment: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34249045&postcount=6
thats a long time for a 2amp charger
seems to work with my 1amp note charger though
Has anyone look looked in the sysfs to get a better idea of how much power the tablet is actually drawing from the charger? I know the charger is 5v/2a but what is the tablet actually reporting. It is possible that the tablet is incorrectly identifying the charger and only allowing ~1a. It wouldn't be the first time this has happened.
Iam very happy with micro usb charging.
+ >4 chargers at home (not easy to find the right ones, but galaxy note charger has enough power)
+ battery life increases (slow charging)
i dont need the pogo charger for charging - but its good to have a dock connector
Mine took forever also. Goodness

The Note 2 charger is 2 amp so it should charge just as quick
I was around 8% or so, and then I left my N10 to charge overnight (5-6 hours) from the wall charger. Woke up to it fully charged
Had WiFi enabled, sync on, and Asphalt 7 downloading in the background.
I was at 37% at 1:30am, woke up at 7am and it was only at 61%. Given, this was using a staples brand dual USB wall port with my GSIII plugged in as well. I certainly hope they release a pogo charger soon.

or a current app/widge that works?
i have one for my Note,but wont work on the Nexus 10
so if i get an apple charger or equiivalent from Ebay, the ones with 12W rating 2-2.4A will it chargee my N10 faster than the stock one? im guessing not by much. currently its taking 6-7 hours to charge. and if i forget to charge it over night, then kinda useless next day.
If anyone is looking for an alternative USB to AC charger, get the one from the HP touchpad. It's one of the best ones out, topping garbage like the apple one.

the tablet wont charge at a higher amp than its designed to,not sure what amount is, but probably is 2amp
and yeah i forgot last night, so im slave to the charger today
my asus infinity that im selling on ebay now because of this, took 2.2 hours from 0 to full
My iPad 3 takes 7.5 hours to charge from 0% to 100%. So this sounds pretty similar.

5or6hours isn't a very good nights sleep.
9000mah battery, 2000ma charger, a little amperage falloff when its mostly full which you can see in the graph... It should take ~5 hours.

So let me ask you 'what do you do nwhen you doing something on the tablet and its dies on you plug it in and wait 8 hours to charge it ?
What if it's in the middle of the day ? Not using it for 8 hours ? So than what's the point having it. ??
Its %#$%& ANOYING. !!
We need a pogo charger ASAP. !!

[Q] Z ultra GPE Magnetic USB Charging Not functioning

So after the price drop I hastily purchased my ZU GPE. This device seems awesome! I went ahead and purchased one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G25UXS6/ref=oh_details_o04_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The wierd part is the battery icon in the nav bar says charging but battery settings page, battery monitor widget, and time tell me that my phone is still discharging while I have the phone in the dock. I also purchased a magnetic cable separately and found the same result.
I have resorted to charging via microusb but found even that isn't too fast.. 28% per hour for about 4 hour charge from an Anker 40w 5 port dedicated USB charger.
I neglected to charge my ZU for 30 minutes prior to turning it on was this instruction something I seriously shouldn't have overlooked?
I am hoping this is user error and not a defective ZU... Please reply if you have any helpful insight or info.

Use these cheep chargers with caution, there have been at lest 3 that I've seen on forum that have killed their ZU with them.
The ZU will only draw 500mA on usb even on usb3 or the charging port on my laptop, not sure what that can handle but the ZU still only draws 500mA
Connected to a wall charger of at least 1500mA my ZU will charge in about 2.5 hours
Another interesting developement... when it reached 100% on microusb the screen kept flashing on and off... I guess I am going to have to do a factory reset and see if this helps things...
Thanks for the reply I will keep that in mind about the chargers
Just thought I would update.. I tried charging it off my macbook pro and got screen flicker again. This was after factory reset. Google was nice enough to give me an RMA so I think Im going to drive to the nearest sony store to pickup an Xperia Z Ultra. Hopefully tomorrow I will have a working phone...
Why aren't you using original accessories? You can't expect things to work when you keep using cheap knockoffs. If there's one thing you don't want to mess with, it's the battery, so use the original Sony dock/USB charger and you'll be fine.

Fast charge/ Quick charge problem

Alright I have a weird problem my fast charge / Quick charge is no longer working anymore it only says charging . I have checked to see if it was the charging adapter and cable and both of them are fine because they were fast charging my Note 4. Only 3 things I can think of that might be the problem well 4
1. The charging port is faulty and needs replaced
2. The battery is faulty
3. The processor is messed up but unlikely because it is working fine
4. Something in the system is keeping it from fast charging/ Quick charge
Does anyone have a idea what might be wrong with it ? My phone will normal charge fine it just will not fast charge anymore
Thanks
Might be the cable. Have you triend a different one?
The Charger needs to communicate with the phone before it switches to fast charging mode. If your cable is broken and communication is not possible it will not fast charge.
This is the reason a charge on cable (without the two data wires) will never work for fast charge.

like I said in the above post it is not the cable and I have tried multiple ones still does not work but when I use the same lg fast charge adapter and cable on my galaxy note 4 it fast charge and even when in use the Samsung fast charge and adapter on my v10 does not work but does work on the note 4.
This happens to me too...I just unplug charger from wall and back in, after that it's all good. I think in my case problem is because charger stays in wall non-stop.

Fast charge
I have had the same problem. At first I replaced the battery didn't help so I ordered a new OEM charger. It worked until tonight. I thought I'll give it a little smack on the table. I plugged it back up and now it fast charges just fine. I'm going to try the same on the other charger.

you can check this:
1. Make sure your device is fresh, not too hot because the thermal sensors inside the phone if detect the battery too hot, the charger dont activate fast charging.
2. Make sure the cable you use is good enough, i mean not so flimsy or thinner, it must be fatter because the current fast charge use.
3. If that i say above is right then plug the fast charge into the socket and plug it to your phone, if with in 10 seconds the round circle of fast charging dont appear on battery icon then unplug the charger and plug it again until it ativate fast charging.
its a common problem i have too,, i use the original charger and cable who came with the phone and even the phone are cooler and so on sometimes fast charge dont ativate at first attemp.

weird charging problem on Galaxy Note 20 5g SAM-N981B

Hi
It has been a few days that i have faced a weird problem with my phone.
My phone suddenly stopped charging with fast chargers and only works with super fast chargers.
When connected to any charger other than super fast charger, the charge drops instead of rising. When i connect a super fast charger, it charges fine. But sometimes gets 95% and some times gets 100%. If i reconnect the superfast charger, the phone wont even show charging. Must switch to normal charger or wireless charger and switch back to super fast charger in order for it to work.
Being on or off does not affect the results.
Wireless charging works fine.
Due to the conflicting results, I can not guess the cause of the problem.
Whether the problem is from the battery, Main board, charging socket, or software or malware, i cant figure it out.
Any suggestions?
Best I can suggest is clean your type c port with a sewing needle. These ports get trash in them everyday very easily then packed in.
The bottoms of these ports are metal not plastic. Shiny silver metal. If it's dark black or anything other. Its dirty and your cord is not being inserted all the way due to the trash compacted in. I have seen this on a regular basis and 9 out of 10 times this is the cause

Hi, did you find a resolution to this?
My Samsung Note 20 is doing the exact same thing.
It will not charge with the normal charger.. I have to first charge it a bit with the wireless charger and then with the normal charger. As of this morning, the wireless charging is also intermittent.
Thanks.

Hello
Unfortunately, I have found no solution for this. I have sent the phone to service center. Since they have not said anything yet, i guess it is not a software or even a known problem. It is definitely a serious hardware problem.
I am having the exact same issue here as well. I plug it into a normal charger and the battery continues to drain. A lightening charger is the only thing giving it juice.

Yes superfast charging is not the problem at all. Its when I plug in a normal charger, it will say its charging but it doesnt.

Well if factory resetting does not solve the problem, don't waste your time for a solution. It is a faulty hardware. Go to Samsung service center instead. The will probably replace the motherboard or the phone.
