[Q] Dock charging issues?

Anyone seeing a charging issue on the dock?
Here is what I'm seeing. My tablet is at 80% charger...so I plug it into the dock which is at 98% charge..but for some reason the dock doesn't charge the tablet. I reboot the tablet with the dock connected..still the dock doesn't charge the tablet.
I take the tablet out of the dock and reboot then connect it to the dock again then I'm able to see that it is charging correctly.
Anyone else see this issue? I don't know if the problem is the dock or the tablet or the software. I'm assuming that this is software related otherwise it would never charge.
Thoughts?

Same here. Are you plugging into a wall or pc? I found by using the wall charger it fixed the problem.

neither. i'm just trying to let it charge from the dock and it won't do it unless i reboot the tablet separately and then reconnect it to the dock. even if i keep the tablet on the dock and then restart...it still won't charge.

The dock starts charging the tablet when it reaches 70%.

oh i see. but i do think i have a problem with the tablet..i try to charge it directly and now its not charge. it was at 77% without the dock..plugged in the charger and no charging. very strange. but if i connect the tablet to the dock and then charge it then it appears to be fine.

I am having this problem as well. Did you find a fix?

[Q] TF101 only charges when completely shutdown?

I am having the weirdest problem on my Asus Transformer TF101 . I had updated to ICS via ASUS's check update option and then it stopped charging at all ( I do not have the dock, just the wallwart) .... . It would not charge ( not even show a charge flash symbol on the battery ) when the tablet is on AND plugged in..It would ONLY charge with the Wallwart when the tab is completely shutdown .i.e. I would have to shutdown the tab completely and then plug it in so that it can trickle charge over night to +80%. I changed the cable , changed the wall wart same issue... Then I thought its possibly a sw issue so I resetted , wiped caches, reset battery stats and even upgraded the sw to a Rayman's CyanogenMod 10 ♦ B4 ( currently running it ) .. Now I can at least see a small charge flash symbol when the tab is plugged in but instead of charging the tab , when I look at the battery status it shows discharging.... I can only charge this dang thing when its completely shutdown.. I still think its a sw issue.. Wondering anyone else had this issue and more importantly what is the fix ?? ..
Fixes I found in the forum that I've tried so far :
1. check/uncheck the stay awake option
2. Rooted ,installed Rayman's CM10-B4 rom
3. install dual battery app to check battery stats,( dont know why was this suggested as a fix )
4. wiped battery stats in recovery mode , thrice
5. changed usb cable
6. Put the charger/wallwart in freezer overnight and then check the charging ..
I'm outta warranty duration so desperately need to fix this on my own ..

You are using the ASUS TF101 supplied charger with its included cable, and nothing else? I.e. no extension USB cord etc.
The ASUS TF101 charges using 12-15V from the wallwart, not the standard USB 5V. Using standard USB, it's only able to trickle charge during power off, and this sounds exactly as what you are describing.

I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. I even tried the freezer trick too in desperation as it was my last resort before admitting defeat in my battle with trickle charging. In the end I purchased this charger off ebay:

I know it's advertised as a UK charger but if you read further down the page they ship the US and EU charger too. I've had it for about a week now and it works perfectly. I was dubious about buying a non Asus charger after reading reviews about them on Amazon about overheating but mine seems fine. If anything it's actually cooler than the original one.

I have tested with the same USB cable that came with it originally and the wall wart is original too. I changed the wall wart and USB to see if there's a difference but apparently none. Not using any USB hubs either...

Sorry to disagree, but everything you describe sounds as a charger issue to me, not a SW issue. If it happens even with the TF powered off this makes me almost sure...
Sometimes it's good to start from the begining, although you think you have tried everything...
Get your TF, your asus original wall adapter and cable and try it. Does it work?
If not try another outlet on your house. Does it work?
If not, you may even try another outlet (work, school, whatever). Does it work?
If not exchange only the wall adapter (for another asus original one if possible) and start over.
If nothing changes, get back to your wall charger, change the USB charging cable and start again.
If nothing changes, change wall adapter + cable and start again.
Remember... The TF will only charge with the asus wall adapter and cable or a specific charger. If you try to use your computer's USB or a wall adapter from a phone / generic USB device you won't get any charge at all, and will only trickle charge when the TF is off.

Sounds like there is an issue that the charger is not recognizing that an Eee Pad is attached. Might be time for a new charger.

Hello all, I have the exact same problem. I received my Asus TF101 for Christmas last year. Then later I found out that you need it root it in order to upgrade the OS. I rooted my TF, then I upgrade it the OS from Honeycomb(4.0.3) to Jellybean(4.1.2), (4.2.2) A month later after upgrading the OS my battery drain faster and I can only charge the battery with my TF turned off. If I plugged the the charger while its on it, the battery says its not charging. I change the wall wart and the cable but the issue still persist. Please help!!!

Is the new wall wart you are using a genuine Asus wall wart? If it is just a tablet USB charger, that will not work as the TF101 needs 15 VDC to charge instead of the standard 5 VDC of USB. The Asus wall wart auto-detects and switches between the two voltages to allow it to be used for other devices as well.

Please help my tablet stopped charging:(:(:(

So i just updated my rom to a jelly bean rom and it wont charge unless i power off the tablet, when its on and i put it to charge it makes the charging noise but a red x appears on the battery icon. I thought at first it was the rom but i tried another rom and it continues to do the same thing can anybody help me please

This is not a software problem may there is an issue with the charger or the connector have tried replacing the charger

How are you trying to charge it? If you've connected the USB to a computer it will show the red X. It needs the Mains charger to charge while it's on.

im charging it on the stock wall charger that it came with. it only charges if i power off the tablet

Then that sounds like a wierd software problem. I am going to take a shot in the dark and recommend you back up your tablet then reload your rom and see if that helps. When did this issue first start happening?

[Q] nexus s does not charge via ac adapter

Heyo guys, I've got a problem with charging my Nexus S.
When I'm using the ac adapter to charge my phone, but it is always showing in the battery menu "not charging". But if I use the USB cabel to charge it by plug it in the PC, it works.
Only sometimes it works with the charge kit, but I don't know why it does not sometimes.
Also, while it's charging with the adapter, the battery drains.
I hope that I'll get a quick answer

Try another AC adapter for nexus s and then check, may be your one is not working, if if does charge through data cable then one thing is clear that there is something in the adapter

same problems for me...
I have same problem.. the only way I can charge is to turn off phone and then insert power chord. Then phone starts off and charges. but when its already on, the phone does not charge with usb or wall chargers. I have tried multiple of them and I think its slimbeans 4.2.2 issue on nexus S.
Would it be better to go to ICS or other ROMS? or is this hardware problem for sure?

Sachin

I bought a new one and it doesn't work either. For now, only charging with the USB port works.

your 1% too high mate lol the dock will only kick in after the tablet drops below 70% mate

LOL! i have this tablet for more then a month and i didn't know that! BUT every widget i use says it is charging and the battery meter is rising! BUT android is not saying it is charging!
EDIT: when i enable always show battery percentage: it shows DIScharging on the lockscreen! (BTW: running aokp)
EDIT2: in the battery section in the settings app it says: 75 - charging! but the lockscreen doesn't so i guess it's just an AOKP bug i just noticed
EDIT3: currently i have a charger plugged in into the dock (in a car) it's around 12V and nothing happens! the tablet still charges trough the dock do! so i assume it is not a hardware issue but it is just not enough power!
EDIT4: now i know the car doesn't give enough power because: the tablet/dock alone doesn't charge!
So in the end: there is nothing wrong with my tablet! i can be really stupid sometimes i really love this tablet and i am afraid something will hapen to it!
