Sorry I thought you wanted to be able to charge your tf101 with a barrel plug, im not sure whether an adapter would work or not but i would recommend just using the stock charger it will be much easier and reliable

Transformer charging?

What will my transformer only charge with the main adaptor? Extenssions dont work (usb) and i have usb debugging on. I cant even use my portable charge, or my cable box ich all work with my cell.

do you have the dock? pretty sure it works fine with mine. wht rom/kernel are you using?
It will charge from the main adapter from a wall plug in. It will charge from the dock. It will SLOWLY trickle charge from usb if the screen is off.
No im on stock have b70 so no root. And no dock

Had it plugged into cable box usb overnight screen off no luck. Its like it only work with its own stuff
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
Yes...It really only works with its own stuff. Some have claimed to have it charge from usb when it was off but I have never tested it.
Are any other similar devices able to charge through usb? Netbooks or laptops? Usb was not designed to be a big power source. Some hard drives require two usb connectors for just a hard drive.
Sent from my mopho
From what i have read in other threads it has to do with the voltage required and how Asus wired their plug.
Use USB 3.0 cables and it will work fine. Also use a USB 3.0 port on the pc for slow charging.
Usb 3 cable works fine here...

[Q] USB connection doesn't recharge battery

Hi.
I've just rooted my epad (having B70 serial) but I've noticed that when I plug in the USB cable to the computer, it won't recharge. Is that normal??

Yes normal. Does not charge with USB to PC.
ya its not so posed to fully charge but correct me if i am wrong i think that it trickle charges if it is plugged into a highspeed or a 3.0 port with the screen off

I believed so but I think you need a 3.0 USB cable also IIRC
You will get a trickle off USB2; not sure if anyone has tried USB3, I would think it can give enough juice to charge though. For meaningful stuff in the stikk USB2 filled world, use the charger

Hmm so nothing definitive then on this?
Could you use the keypad ports to charge?
If so would it matter which port you plug it in to on the Transformer?

Question about charging

Reading the manual, it says after charging the first time, that the tablet can be charged by USB if there is enough power through the USB port. I put an extension between the Asus adapter and the proprietary cord, and it won't charge unless directly connected to the adapter. I have USB 3 port on my computer that gives out higher than standard power, and I have a USB port in my car, and this tablet won't charge on anything except a direct single asus wire connection to the Asus adapter. Is this correct? It seems that I may have a defective tablet.
Are there any other people having this issue.
USB 3.0

The USB extension also needs to be USB 3.0. Is the one you're using?
The extension was to the power outlet in the wall.
I wonder if the Asus chord is made for USB 3 then?
Sent from my brain to my hand to XDA
Is your extension just a USB extension or a powered USB extension? Maybe it carries data but not power? Can you charge other devices with the extension (and do they actually charge at a decent rate)?
Yes! I charge my htc sensation on it all the time. But I more than that, I am trying to find out if others are able to charge via the Asus proprietary USB cord to another source such as a computer or car etc.....
as opposed to using the wall power adapter from Asus

I also can't get the tf700 to charge with any adapter other than the supplied charger. I've tried 500mA, 1A and 1.9A (from a Nook color) USB chargers and none work.

I am quite certain that it says in the user manual that it is possible to charge via USB, i don't have it with me at work, but can someone verify this.... it could be a major issue for some, and needs to be addressed. I know that the battery power at full charge is not going to last all day for me, and being able to charge via USB is really important since i am in sales so i do not have access to an electrical outlet, but i do have a USB port in my car.

I'll add my personal experience to this...
When I got the tablet I put in a basic USB extension cable between the tablet cable and the outlet adapter. I didn't notice for an hour or so that it wasn't saying it was "charging".
Except...in that hour the battery hadn't gone at all.
And with the screen off and left to its own devices it will charge to 100%.
So I guess the point is this, it may not say its charging but it is getting power. If you're using it as like an overnight charging thing, it should work just fine.
Doesn't the manual say that you need to power it off before changing over USB?

Thanks for pointing this out.
I'll have to check this out, but I hope one doesn't need to have to restart a tablet, just to change the power source. Kind of a pain

So maybe it is charging a little, even though it says it isn't. I think I will try this out and leave it for a few hours or overnight as a test.

So I plugged into the USB port and the power level was at 78%, I left it plugged in for about 5 hours and when i rechecked, it read 97%. The whole time it read as Not charging. This is good news, I really need that feature. It is interesting that it reads as Not charging, this must be a software error.

Cable questions

So i need a cable for one that im purchasing from ebay (Cable/charger not included)
Ive searched eBay for a cable and noticed that it says "USB Charging will not work from USB port" this being due to USB 3.0? However i have 2 USB 3.0 ports on my computer.. Does it not support charging?
Also, can i use my stander wall to USB adapter to charge the tablet?
THanks all!
The Asus charger is unlike most other plugs. It puts out 15 volts. Just buy the plug and cable off Ebay. I saw several on there when I was shopping for a spare cable and they're not that expensive. The reason it says that it won't charge over USB is because those ports don't put out enough power to charge the tablet like it's supposed to be charged. It would basically give the tablet a trickle charge. It would probably charge it but it would take forever.

Intersting. Thank you for the reply. What about my Wall-To-USB adapter? Would that charge it? That way i could just buy the cable (Its only like 5 bucks)

I seriously doubt it unless it's rated at 15 volts. I can pretty much guarantee that it's not. The average wall to USB doesn't put out that much voltage.
One good thing about the stock Asus plug is that it doesn't take very long to charge the tablet.

It outputs at 5 volts. However, the amperage is the same as the Stock Asus Charger. Im guessing it will just take forever lol. So i am looking at this charger and this data cable What are your thoughts?
Yep. That looks like your best bet, price wise. A stock style charger starts around $30 according to what I just looked at.

No problem. I hope everything works out for you and your new tab. I love mine.
I don't know if the tablet you are buying is already unlocked and rooted or not. If not, you'll probably want to root it in order to get the most out of it. Just about anything you need to know about it is located here within this forum. :good:

Charging problem TF101

I have an TF101 here which had been used by my parents without any problems. Now, after a week or so I charged the thing without any problems. Now it doesn't charge anymore. It is being recognized by my laptop though. I tried different cables (one new cable) and adapters, but the tablet doesn't charge at all, it is only recognized by my laptop. Last week I tried it with an identical cable and adapter from my mother in law, guess what, it works perfectly. Please help.

" Last week I tried it with an identical cable and adapter from my mother in law, guess what, it works perfectly"
Your TF101 charges perfectly with the cable and charger from your mother in law and it worked and charged? - Just use that?
You can trickle charge the TF with your laptop, but you need to power off the TF101, and leave it plugged into the laptop/PC USB > TF overnight
If it doesn't charge that way, something is wrong with either the cable or the TF, if it does, you need a new charger
My mother in law lives far away so that is not an option. I'm (hopefully) charging the tablet on my laptop as we speak. Will let you know what it does.

Well if your mother in laws lead and charger works, then you already know the answer, buy a new genuine lead and charger
