Will this work with your kernel?
I cannot get my Tab to charge even with a 2.1amp car charger.
Oh, I have the GT-P6200.

It might, but my kernel won't work with the P6200.

I think the tab actually charges through USB although the notifacation tells you not charging. You'll see the percentage of battery increments slowly.

I have a 4 USB wall charger with an output of DC5.0v 2100mA.
When I connect it detect as a USB connection and no charge.

Don't believe everything it tells you. Its pulling 500mA from the charger. That's enough to charge the tablet if its not being used.

USB adaptor that outputs 2A

Hi,
I just got this item from ebay: New USB Charger Converter Adapter for Samsung Galaxy P1000 Tab
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190706474031?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
it says in the specs that "Connects Samsung P1000 charging cable with 2.1A current output power adapter."
I tried with the tablet 8.9 and it really charges from the computer USB, unlike a without this converter that only keeps the charging.
Im using A1 kernel and Im just wondering if there is any risk? or someone have experience this kind of adapters earlier?
ERM. Doesn't the tab come with a 2.1amp out brick in the box?
Both my 10.1 and 8.9 came with the same 2.1amp brick.
If you want faster charging, you gotta find a kernel that supports fast charge. AFAIK, AOKP builds this in and can be swapped on and off in performance settings.

Im talking about an attachment that makes your tablet to charge faster from the usb port of the computer

if you're charging from a standard .5A usb 2 port you won't charge any faster as this won't magically turn your .5A port to a 2.1A. what it will do is allow you to fast charge from a source that can output more power, like an aftermarket usb charger or possibly a usb 3.0 port.

I have it with me, and it does the magic, normal usb cable doesnt charge at all ( on a1 kernel 1.7.3) with this device in few minutes i see an increase in charge.
Im just a bit worried since i havent seen any of these around, if someone else have used them

[Q] Charge via USB.

Is there a way to charge via USB? I'm going on a trip and would like to be able to charge my computer and my note at the same time.
When you connect it, should start charging automaticly!!

This link is for the Galaxy tab, but I built one of these adapters and it works great with the Note 10.1.

I am able to charge my Note 10.1 using anything that has a USB port, just put it in line with your sync cable and your good to go.
Stock sync cable charges tab... It just does it slower...
No need for "special made adaptors"....

Sorry to say mine does not, not even on my stationary USB3.0.
Mate, it trickle charges through the USB... Usb doesn't provide the same charge as the wall charger. Yes there's a that little red x over the charge icon BUT it is charging. Depending on whether you are using more current in the activity that you are doing depends on whether the tab charges or discharges the battery.... Leave it over night and it will be 100% charged the next morning... I tend to charge my tab this way when I'm transfering large files from/to the sd card, plug in before going to bed and its charged come morning...
It says discharging in status when in USB. But I'll try it tonight.

i see somewhere that it work on USB when the screen is off.
Make sure you have the USB divers installed, you are using the original USB cable and that you are not using the tablet while trying to charge (leave plugged in over night). Should charge fine even with red x.

Turn the 10.1 completly off, then charge in USB. It will charge way faster than if it is on.
Wall charger provides 2000 mA, USB provides up to 500 mA.
It is a given that wall charger charges 4 times faster.
The reason why the cross is over the battery when charging from USB is because you are using more amps than the USB can charge as long as the screen stays on and the tablet is in use.

S3 charger does not produce 2000 mA (see the sticker on the charger)
Indeed charges pretty quickly when screen is off. Went from 58% to 80% while I was walking my dog (1.5 hours). I plugged it into my Lenovo T520 USB-3 port.

The note will not charge through the cable plugged into a usb. It will only charge through the wall plug provided. Not sure about the note as I have only had mine about a week, but I know on my galaxy tab, changing the kernel enables usb charging although very slow at charging.

I can charge my note via USB, but it seems to be much slower.
Yeah slowly charging.. maybe the capasity of battery too large.. but when battery full my note having long life..
Sent from my GT-N8000
Your note needs 2amp to make it charge at a better speed, it will charge via the pc but will take a long time due to the small amount of amp the pc usb port will give out,

Try pushing your USB very slowly in the port, it should show the charging sign once halfway through. Then wait a second and push it all the way in.
You might have to try this two-three times to master the art. I have a Tab and it works fine.
USB charging charges at a very slow rate.. turn the screen off and avoid using while charing and you should notice an increase in the battery % after a few minutes. A wall charger is much faster though, just grab a spare one on eBay/Amazon they won't set you back much

You are correct. Pc supplys maybe 500ma and tab charger is 2000ma. So on pc will take over 3 times as long.

[Q] USB charging of WiFi model

I tried the cord that came with the tablet, and my other USB cables - same results with all. My Note Pro won't charge via USB at all - when I plug it in battery status says "not charging" and it keeps discharging, while idling with screen off. Only AC adapter works and battery status changes to "charging". Any ideas?
You can't charge the tablet off s usb port. Draws too much current. Some motherboards have an option to turn on a special charging function for a usb port, but if you had that you would probably know.
Your stuck with the wall charger.

Stock kernel on the Xperia Tab Z must have USB charging enabled. This is an exception rather than a norm I would think, with OEMs probably choosing to disable this as a safety measure (or so i've read).
Until a custom kernel is developed for the Note Pro we'll probably not see charging over USB.
The problem is still the max output from the USB port, which is 5V 0.5A , you'll notice that the charger for the this tablet is 5.3V 2A.
I'm an electrical engineer not a computer engineer, so I'm not sure how a kernel would change the max output current supplied by the PC. This has actually piqued my interest, I'm going to do some tests and see how much current the port can push. I'm betting the data lines on the plug send some information about what's being charged.
Maybe I'll build an adapter that that let's the tab pull a full 2A from the port.

Does it make a difference if it's USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port?
Normal USB 2.0 is 500mv, USB 3.0 is 900mv. Some motherboards can push this up to 2000mv, usually a red usb port

The nature of my kernel comment stems from my Nexus 4 experience with a custom kernel which has a setting to enable usb fast charge (Franco kernel with his FKU application).

This review says Note Pro 12.2 can be charged via USB - it's just slow. As I mentioned in the OP - when I plug it in via USB cable the battery status says "not charging" - could it be it's actually charging, but due to low current the device itself doesn't recognize it's being charged?
Just plug it in for a few hours and see if it increased your battery level... done.

It kinda works - with tablet completely idle and screen off it charged about 4% in 1.5 hours via USB 3.0....don't think that's helpful to anybody. Hopefully, someone finds a way to push more current through USB 3.0 port. Would be nice to eliminate the need to use AC charger.
I had mine hooked up to my laptop (Asus N76VB), it didn't charge according to the indicators (neither do my TabPro 8.4, Tab 3 and Tab 2, nor my TF700T), but the battery didn't drain either while I was using it. It stayed at 56% for 5 hours whilst browsing, which it really wouldn't do normally. USB 3.0, no additional settings enabled on the laptop, all Sync and GPS turned off on the tablet.
My TF700T literally said in the manual: "Charging from USB can only be done with the device turned off." I'm sure that applies to these tablets as well.
On the upside, my 15600mAh aSolar powerpack charges the device! :victory: (It can't charge my Tab 2 or TF700). I'm really, really pleased about that!

Standard charging everytime...

I have a problem.. everytime i plug in my phone to charge, its using standard charging. EVERYTIME. When that happens, I restart my phone which fixes the issue.. All cords are plugged in fully. I just dont understand this...
I had same problem just changed charging cable and fixed problem...i try connecting it again the note 5 charger after few days but still with cable charging and no go still using note 4 cable on note 5

Their has to be a problem with the Samsung usb cables. Both of my Samsung fast chargers only use normal charging when using the Samsung usb cable. But when I use a different usb cable fast charging works every time.

Thats ridiculous... so youre telling me that we bought a $750 device and expected that everything inside the box would work properly but instead some or all of the samsung usb cable is faulty?
Send it back for warranty?

I mean if the usb cable is the problem
Wouldnt the issue still persist...? I dont see why i would send my phone in to warranty..
I know I have usb cables all over the place so it's not really a issue for me. Plus I have a fast wireless charger also which works great too.
