Hey, guys.
I recently got the GTab 7.0+ and rooted it via MicroSD and I'm REALLY trying to get it to charge via USB.
I got the official Samsung dock and it's soooo ridiculous that I can't charge it via my computer's USB. It's also ridiculous this short cable the tab came with. I ordered the 6' so hopefully that will help.
I tried this (link below) but it just said 'directory nonexistent'. I triple checked what I typed. Anyone get USB charging to work successfully?
Thank you in advance. :]

My tab charges via USB connected to a computer...it's hella slow but it will eventually charge fully.
Moved out of Development and closed since there is another thread with the exact same information.

Just as the title suggest has anyone successfully attached a HD 2.5 drive to the TF using a USB coupler to the tablet? I have a Seagate Go Flex 500 gb 2.5 drive but since the tablet itself has no usb port to attach the HD I would need a USB coupler to connect the cables, would the tablet's proprietary cable supply power and even recognize the HD using a coupler?
Please advise.
Edit: Nevermind me... misread.
I don't think it will work.
There is a thread in general you could search for with a list of usb devices people have tried to use without the dock.

Yeah, just checked out that thread, doesn't look like any HD connected with a coupler works, I am not sure about the dock but I remember some guy on utube was able to via the dock. I am planning to get the dock after 2 years when the batt on the tab wanes, no big deal, would have been nice having an HD attached without said dock.
Hello!
I've recently acquired a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Wifi (GT-P5110).
I was wondering if there's any way to enable USB charging (connected to the computer) instead of only charging through wall socket?
Thanks in advance!
It's charging from the USB, but very slowly (and can't keep up if you use the tablet). The USB charging works better if you shutdown first.

I see.
I've also read people saying that using custom roms (CM9 among them) it does charge and stops showing the cross over the battery symbol on the notification bar.
They claim that the kernel is customized so that the tablet is able to draw more power from the USB instead of the regular 500mA.
Is there any confirmed truth to this? Is it worthy? Doesn't it risk frying the USB/Connector controller on the tab?
Thanks.
Cable to charge Tablet
I also read in several places that you can use a special cable to perform the charging function. It is a Samsung P1000 adapter that has a switch on it to switch between charging and data. I've ordered one, I'll update regarding its performance when I receive it.

it's fake & hoax
Do you have root ? What ROM and kernel are you using ?
Try this for you Tab :

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 stock only allows you to charge via USB Wall charger which is rated at 2 amps, here's how to hack it for any rooted Galaxy Tab 10.1 running Pershoot kernel so you can charge it via USB on your computer or even regular USB chargers.

Good luck !
You used to be able to fiddle with the USB charger and jiggle it about so it would charge via USB but an update got rid of that function ( ok more like a sneaky malfunction).,,,please note that i was running a STOCK based ROM on my SGT2 7 and not your device. Romswell was the author of the ROM and as i said it was for my tab , not sure if he caters for your device.
Charge while the phone is off.

I can confirm that CM9 and CM10 let you charge over USB, but it will only charge a useful amount when the screen is off.
As already said in the name of the topic, my usb cable is having a malfunction, .. good, to be exact does not work the same in both the pc as the outlet with the charger, it will really become a headache, good .. and I'm honestly just thinking of buying just another good, I put my tablet to carry around yesterday of 02: am, I took it 09: am and then when I took no longer worked at the least the battery charged 100%
can anyone help me somehow?
You mean that your USB cable will charge your tab, but it will not connect to the PC?

Friend, it is not working even with the charger or the pc, do not receive any kind of load .. :\
Sorry, I'm having a little bit of trouble understanding you. So your tablet will neither charge nor connect to your pc?

Hello,
I own my Galaxy S4 I9505 about two weeks now, till yesterday I noticed that when I plug in my official charger my phone says it's charging with usb. This obviously results in slow charging speeds, I have searched the web but haven't really found any solutions, I hope someone is able to help me , thank you!
Edit : sorry, wrong forum :s, this needs to be in Q&A...
So I pushed the usb cable again and guess what? That usb cable wasn't pushed far enough.. I feel so stupid, sorry for wasting your time and this topic can be deleted

Hi,
I have searched and searched and not found an answer, please help!
My son's SGT2 7.0 does not connect to any computer when plugging in via USB. The computer doesn't even acknowledge that a device has been attached. I have installed the samsung drivers, tried Kies, enabled developer options and checked the USB debug box, but all to no avail.
The device is not rooted.
Also, it has the dreaded "red cross" when charging the battery. Is there a way to get rid of this short of sending it back to Samsung?
Anyone any solution for these issues? Would be most grateful.
Thanks
I had this same problem a few weeks back. I bought a new USB cord and the problem stopped. Somewhere the cord went bad, it wouldn't even charge unless the tab was powered off.

I'll have to try this again, 3rd cable now! seems to work for many... will report back
STILL OPEN TO ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS!
Thnx
Well the new cable sorted out the usb connection problem, and indeed the red X issue too. Samsung brand and less than £3. Happy days
