I notice that my battery is not charging. I can plug it into the outlet, and it works fine. I plug it into the computer, and it shows up, but on the tablet, it does not show that it is charging. Any ideas?

So is it charging or not charging? Your post kinda confusing hence no one answer. It doe not show that it's charging on the tablet but is the battery itself being charge or not?

I plug it into the computer via the usb cable, and it does not charge. It usually does charge when i plug it in.
Mine just started doing that right now! I plug it in to the AC charger and doesn't show it charging, says not plugged in. Then I put it on the keyboard and try to charge the keyboard and still says not plugged. I also tried connecting it to my pc, and my pc reads it but still doens't charge. I also just updated from HC 2 days ago. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Usually with the USB to PC it will trickle charge while the screen is off or TF turned OFF. It just doesn't put out enough power to fully charge the TF in a quick manner.
Did you recently change anything on your TF? Like update ROM ect...?
Many peoples have the same problems with ICS

that's weird, because it never did this before. if i updated it to jb, would this fix it? is there a known issue with this in ics? and so my battery does charge when it is off? why only a trickle charge? no, i have not updated/flashed any roms to it.
Have a look at my post on a similar issue: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31612760&postcount=2)

i don't understand why I would need a new cable, or why it would fix it, when the cable works fine for syncing. also, why does it not do a regular charge?

So did mine. no data problems, but it would only trickle charge from ac or usb. I inspected every mm of the cable and couldn't find a problem with it but the new cable worked straight away. I imagine the problem was with worn pins

that's weird. i don't think i would have used mine too much, for the pins to wear out. but you said that yours would trickle charge in ac. mine will do the full charge in the ac. so maybe there is something else wrong with mine?

No you cant change it. Unlike lets say a smart phone that will charge at like 5v the TF101 needs 12v-15v to activate fast charge. anything under 12v will trickle charge the TF101 and usb's dont not supply 12v, it would do no harm if they did aka the ac charger does exactly that.

so that's why the battery icon shows it's not charging then. it's just the trickle charge. any way to really confirm this? i just want to make sure it is actually doing this.

Well drain you battery to lets say 60%, shut it down, plug it into your pc then check the battery levels after an hour or two. then compare it with an ac charge.
ok i got mine working! I read on a thread that someone posted about the heat sensor inside of the AC charger box that trips. So what they said to do was put it in a sandwich bag and take out all of the air and seal it, then put it in the fridge. I forgot about it and left it for a day! haha. Well i just took it out blew on it a bit to take off the humidity, plugged it in and now its charging.

That the way but I find out another ways:
- take your AC out power point and leave it couple hours or longer and then plug back it'll be work:fingers-crossed:
- After charge or none used anymore unplug AC from power point (not turn off switcher) never leaved it there
because the heat sensor inside of the AC charger

Hi all,
Sorry in advance if I'm asking for something that has been answered before.
I have seen lots of threads that talked about the Asus Transformer tf101 and tf101G that doesn't charge correctly.
My TF101G stopped charging after it was fully drained after the kids played some games on it. When I plugged it in to charge the TF screen came on with a big battery indicator which showed a empty battery with red at the bottom. Then it just goes off. When trying to switch on again it just briefly flashes this battery and goes off again.
I left the TF to "charge" overnight and this morning after about 6 hours of charging it had +-14% battery life.
So it appears that the charger still trickle charges the TF when it completely off, but doesn't want to charge when it powered on.
Also, the TF recognizes the cable when it gets plugged in. If off and with some power in the battery the TF starts to boot up, but no charge indicator is showed when booted and battery drains as per normal.
Could it be that this is a software issue? I would guess not, but then again I ask myself if the charger or USB cable was broken then it wouldn't trickle charge. right?
Anyone came across this yet?
I know that some people suggested the freezer trick, but I don't want to do that before I checked on this with the community members here.
Many thanks in advance for your assistance and sorry again if I missed a similar thread.

It could. The charger cable got 2 red wires thats connected to the same point on the TF.
One of the wires is your normal +5v USB power, while the other is connected to a USB3 pin to tell the charger to spit out 15V instead of 5V.
If that particular cable is broken, the charger will only send 5V.
The odds that that small wire is broken though, is... well, very slim.
Curious. I've been charging it through the USB/Electrical outlet charger overnight and have yet to hear a beep.
Also, when I plugged in the micro-USB cable to my USB port the charging indicator went on, but even though I left it overnight it didn't charge. Has this happened to anyone else?

I haven't noticed it beep at all. And that seems a bit odd, have you tried using a different charger/charged anything else on that charger?

Yeah, I don't think it beeps when it gets full which might be an oversight. I've never had a phone not do that before.
As far as charging off the USB port, I was trying to charge off a powered USB hub, and the phone clearly indicated it was charging (even though after leaving it was mostly empty). I'll try charging it off my PC's USB port and see if that works- only thing there is that I have to leave my PC on to charge it though.

I'm the opposite -- I've never had a phone that's beeped when it's fully charged. That would be annoying. The Nexus 5 doesn't beep when it's fully charged. If it did, I would find a way to disable it! It would disturb me at night!

I think the beep when charging is a Samsung thing. I had a Galaxy S2 and S3 and they both did it.
I hated that feature so much! It was the only reason I had to mute my phone at night. I'm pretty sure if I plug in my phone over night it will fully charge, I don't need my phone to wake me up in the night to brag about it!
Since last night my a510 won't charge at all. There was a thunderstorm and a power cut and the charger was connected to the socket (a multi socket with several other items including a phone charger) but not to the tablet. When I plug it in now there's no indication that it is charging and the battery keeps going down. I tried with the phone charger also and a USB cable on the PC. While I know at best this would charge the tablet in 24 hours or so there was again not sign of charging at all.
Is it still most likely to be the Acer charger that's at fault or is there something else I could try?

edit: turns out it does trickle charge with a normal USB charger even if the charge light doesn't come on. Seems to be really hard to find a replacement for these though.

12V, 1.5 Ampere, I believe just about any electronics outlet should have something in stock. Original would be better, true. Get a surge-protected multisocket if your area is prone to bad weather.

The problem is the MicroUSB port on the tablet has an extra connector so I don't think it will be possible to use a normal microUSB cable with a 12V adapter.

I tried with another adaptor which has the right shape and 12V output and is supposed to be compatible but not joy. It might be the tablet itself but it's weird if it just stopped working overnight.

I had the same problem, after 2 month my charger was dead. I Contacted ACER send in the tabled and got a new charger in about 1 week.
You need 12 Volts for Charging 5 Volts want Charge your Battery fully.
Hi guys,
I haven't been able to charge my phone properly for a while - after reset when I plug in the original charger, it charges fast, when I unplug it and plug it back in, it charges slowly. When I unplug it again, it still shows the charging icon forever but it won't charge when plugged in. Factory reset doesn't help. The phone also randomly shows the USB moisture message even though it never got wet. Changing cables and power sources doesn't help.
Build MHA-L29 8.0.0.375(C636)
Thanks for any ideas!
Blow out the USB charging port on the phone. Also, use a toothpick to GENTLY clean out the port of lint and dirt.
And use app that tracks your charging speed. Try ampere In playstore.

Thanks for the reply. I tried that already. Is it possibly a battery issue? I wouldn't mind replacing the battery, which is cheap rather than replacing the phone because of such nuisance.

Thanks, good idea.
Ampere clocks in at -250 mA after reset. Goes to around 1800 when plugged in to a third party charger, which drops to around 300 mA when unplugged (phone indicates that it is charging). After reconnecting it goes up to 1000 mA. I don't have my Huawei charger at work but it's similar - at first plug in it charges fast, after reconnecting it switches to the slow mode.
You should use your original charger. And see if supercharge is working. If not. Give it a shot in a service center. Theyll fix your phone for free if you still have warranty.

Well, before replacing the battery, try this:
- turn phone off
- connect to original Huawei Supercharge charger and charge up until 90% or so
- disconnect from charger and turn on
Use the phone as you normally would until around 35-40% remains, then try connecting the charger. If the issue persists, I still believe it is a problem with the charging circuitry rather than the battery. Especially if we take the moisture in the USB port message the phone shows. Replacing the USB charging circuitry should not be a big problem AFAIK, it is connected to the motherboard with a snap-on connector, replacing it should be easy as disconnecting the connector, removing the circuit with the port and placing the new one in.
Yep, I guessed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4avHFWjsz4k
Are you having issues where the phone is displaying 30 or so percent battery remaining, but the phone shuts down?

That's a great point. I didn't know the USB circuitry can be replaced by itself. I don't have any issues with the phone switching off. It uses the battery all the way down to 1% or so. I don't see any erratic percentages. I'll replace the part and update you on what happens. Thanks!

Make sure your microphones still work. I had to replace my USB charging board (which also contains the mics) recently and the first one I tried had a bad mic. I could make phone calls just fine, but google assistant couldn't hear me. I got a replacement and both mics were fine.

I wish I could close this thread but a lot of weird stuff happened since I "fixed" the phone.
Since I bought the battery before I was told it could have been the USB board, I replaced the old battery too. The first charge was smooth and I drained the battery to 0 as recommended. I plugged it back in and it charged to 5% and stopped. I noticed a chemical burn smell that I later realized was coming from the USB circuitry. At this point there was no way to charge the phone but when tried to turn it on, I still saw the red charge icon. I opened it up and put the old defective USB board back in and I was able to charge it. Throughout the day I noticed weird battery drain that I saw recently before the replacement of the USB board. As usual, I tried to restart the phone to fix that but it won't turn on. The battery was at 85% when I shut it down. When I try to turn it on, it won't even show that red charge icon. Nothing. I can't put the old battery back to see if that's the problem, because I bent it during replacement.
Could it be a battery issue this time or is the phone just dead at this point?
Guys, please tell me how to solve the problem: phone is connected to the charger, but it says that it is not charging.
Previously, he calmly charged, but now he does not want to ..
The wire and power supply charge other devices quietly.
You should try another cable and charger block. Move the connector around in slow increments to see if the lightning bolt shows up in battery. Reboot the phone and check. Common sense is to check these things

The strangest thing is that the non-working cable used to work perfectly. It even now charges other devices.
I tried another cable and everything works, I don't understand why the Pixel doesn't want to charge from the old cable ...

It's about the phone itself. That cable charges other devices and used to calmly charge the pixel, but recently stopped.
I tried another cable - everything works. But the current one is shorter than my last one by 2 meters
Same for me all my previous huawei supercharge compatible cable are not working with the pixel.
