[Q] My TF101 wont charge but it connects to the computer - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well I let it drain all the way one day by accident. Then when I tried to charge it with the stock cable and a non-stock brick it would take hours for it to charge fully. Also it did not charge while it was on and being used. It would have to be turned off for it to charge. So I quit on it and left it in the dust for 3 months. I then bought a new cable thinking that the cable was the problem (it was a 3.0 USB cable). it was also a fail. It charges slower than before. I dont know what the problem is. While it was on 3% battery I did a factory reset thinking that would fix it. It completed and still nothing. is it broken? Or am I doing something wrong?
help me please!

Turn it off. Connect to your PC's USB port for 6-8 hours. Put the ASUS charger in the fridge for 30 mins while pc charging. Then allow charger to warm up to room temp and plug into TF101 and it should charge.

Thats not the problem. I have multiple back up chargers. I have two Samsung GS3 chager bricks. They charge perfectly. The cable is brand new. The tablet just wont charge quick after 3 months of battery being drained. IDK what to do... :crying:

I was told there is a switch on or near the battery for this problem, don't quote me on it, I am just repeating what I was told and have not tried it myself but if you have nothing left to try, it might be worth checking

I had the exact same problem, was hard to solve but it ended up not being tbr charger cable but the charger brick. Using a different brick for the tf doesn't work,. I bought this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0081PVGZE/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1352114943&sr=8-1&pi=SL75
and never looked back, charges very quick as well.
Hope this helped.

It seems A LOT of people have this problem with their charger on the Asus tablets. The problem is the power brick not supplying the required 15V to charge the tablet. It still supplies the usual 5V which makes it charge very slowly and ONLY when the screen is off or the whole device is turned off.
Anyway... either buy yourself another charger (those cheap ones on Ebay for $11 will do the trick) or make your own from a spare 12V power supply you got laying around the house and female USB cable end (like I did!).

I don't want to buy a charger that does not work. What is my best bet for buying a good US charger for my broken transformer.

Charger died

So my co-worker has an Asus transformer like i do and he is on his 3rd charger for it. So i have been lending him mine while he waits for his new one. So last night he borrowed it and when i went to charge mine it no longer works. Are the chargers really this faulty or could it be his device that is killing the charger?
After charging my tablet for a while or overnight the charger does not work either.
So what I do is either wait it out or throw it in a ziploc bag and toss it in the freezer(I can't remember where I found this tip but it does work).
The charger gets excessively hot after 2 hours of straight charging and as a safety feature I believe it shuts off. Throwing it in the freezer simply resets the charger I believe, and it is only for about 15 minutes.

They definitely have different versions, the later version 0B-2LF, 0B-3LF (?) are supposed to be less failure prone.
You can always make a Do It Yourself (DIY) charger with a wall charger and USB A Female to 5525 Plug Female Power Adapter.
I’ve got similar experience – when I’ve tried to charge tablet second time after few hours of playing with it, when I’ve plugged charger in, icon didn’t show me expected “charging” icon. At first I’ve thought that was faulty cable but plugged to PC worked fine. Then I’ve found some info that connectors between charger and plug adaptor tend not to have a contact. I’ve taken out plug adaptor and bent slightly those 2 wires on charger, then connected the plug adaptor back. When I’ve plugged it into wall socket – it worked. I’m on 0L-1LF model.
I've encountered this problem too. At first I thought the charger was dead, but when I rebooted the transformer while plugged, it start to charge again. Maybe you should try that.
It probably still charges or has some charge optimization like my Lenovo laptop has. Mine does the same but never any issues.

Another succesful "freezer" here.
To document - My powerstrip turn off with PC and charger is plugged in to it. Tablet was @ < 20% when I put on to charge, not realizing strip was off (company in town so wife wanted it off in case room was needed for kids), got up next morning and now tablet @ < 4%. Took charger and tried multiple outlets and none would charge and charger was not warm. Tablet @ < 4% and now plugged to USB port on laptop (recongized USB Debug and Asus Sync) so it is trickle charging sort of. Search turns up this (and a couple of others) tread. Turned off tablet (to improve trickle charge performance) and waited the 15 minutes. Removed charger from freezer, plugged into wall, plugged in tablet and tablet turned on and now shows as charging.
I assume this is a hardware/software/firmware problem in that the charger is not going to burn itself out trying to push too much voltage and the reduced charge state of tablet is raising resistence and the firmware has a pointer wrong and it needs to be a little colder to be right.
No idea but thanks for the tip.
I got kinda freaked out when my charger didn't work with my tablet last time. I blamed the custom rom since it happened a couple days after I rooted and flashed a custom rom on it, and I never had trouble with stock before. But, it wasn't the charger, since I plugged in the dock and it could charge. So maybe sometimes the tablet doesn't take in a certain amount of voltage or something..? (It was fine after I rebooted.. or update roms, can't remember.)
I once thought that my charger had died but then I tried a hard reset (hold the power button down for 10 seconds) and it started working again. It's worth giving it a go before you go out and buy a new charger.

I think there is something off with his TF if it killed 3 or 4 chargers.
My charger died and no amount of putting it in the freezer or anything else would make it work again.
The only thing I did was pull the cable out attach the TF to my laptop and download files to a different Micro SD card I had bought. Plugged it back in and no workie.
Lucky I had bought another charger for a spare and had it to check the cable ..charger and make sure it what part actually wasn't working...and charge my TF.
It's at an ASUS service center hopefully being fixed.
They do go bad. Theres been documented problems with them just like the dock,, and tablet. When your trying to build the cheapest tablet around ...parts and some things provided by other manufactures ( I know Asus doesn't make everything that goes into it) don't always turn out as well as you've planned.

Why did it discharge, and why won't it charge anymore?

Two days ago, I turned my Infinity off and docked it. Both batteries were fully charged. A few hours ago I picked it up again, and the tablet wouldn't turn on.
I plugged it into the wall outlet. It started charging and I was able to turn on the device. It had 0% charge, and the batteries on the dock were also dead. What I don't understand is: how can the Infinity and the dock discharge completely in that time even though it was supposed to be off?
I left it plugged in so that I could use it while it charges. After some time, it asked me to connect the charger and then turned itself off due to almost dead batteries. Cable was still plugged in, though the charging light was off.
Tried connecting the cable to the dock, no light. Tried connecting the cable to my computer, it didn't work. So, the cable must be faulty, right? I can still turn the Infinity on, it'll boot normally and turn itself off after it's reached the lock screen. There's a red exclamation mark on the battery icon that wasn't there in the first time I turned it on, does it mean anything serious?
I had it drain to zero once overnight. Wasn't completely charged but it was strange... hasn't happened since in fact it generally has very good battery life.
I would definitely try a new cable and or charger.
Yeah, I've asked the store for a new cable. They'll have to mail it to me, so my tablet will stay dead for a few days. Now I know why propietary connectors suck.
Anyway, it seems I'm not the only one that had problems with the charger. Many people have reported overheating, but that never happened to me. The adapter that came with my Infinity seems to be a newer model; the plugs can't be folded or detached.
Charger: I had that happened several times to the SL101. Turned out I had something else plugged into the USB and the adapter was overloaded and tripped. Unplugged for a little while for it to cool down and reset itself.
What do you mean you had something else plugged into the USB?
Anyway, I've left my adapter alone for quite some time. I'll go see if it works as soon as I get home.

I was charging a small 700 mAh battery through the USB. That was enough to trip the AC adapter.

[ KatKiss-KitKat #019 ]Battery not charging?

Hello.
Yesterday I upgraded from KatKiss #018 to #019. Up to now #018 had worked perfectly, but today with #019 I noticed that when plugging in my charger (I don't have the dock), I didn't get the little 'flash' sign on the battery notification; going into the settings to look at battery usage, I noticed that i said 'Battery not charging' even though I had left the charger plugged in.
I unplugged the charger, turned off the tablet, and replugged the charger, and the tablet turned on, which it does when plugging in the charger and being off.
Has anybody had this problem? Is it really charging but not notifying it? If not, what can I do besides reflashing?
Thanks!
me too

Sorry for my bad english

No problems for me and most people I guess otherwise they would stay away from the rom if it was not charging
Try to power off completely your tablet, then cold boot.
Try to change cable, try to test with another charger.
If that doesn't help do a full wipe and a clean install and test again before reinstalling anything else on your tablet.
if that still doesn't help, follow the procedure to report an issue in my signature, I'm not psychic.
Hello.
I have a problem related to the battery as well. Ever since I flashed to #19, my tablet and dock battery seem to run dry very quickly in sleep mode. I have come home from work to occasionally find the tablet unable to boot (it had a dock charge of no greater than 75% and a tablet charge of 100%) and when I plug the charger into the dock and then boot it, I find both batteries have next to no charge.
This is only on timduru's KK#19. I never saw this problem on #18 and below, or any of the previous 'droid versions (4.3.1_029 or 4.2.2_226).
I am currently letting the tablet's battery run to empty and then I will be charging the dock and tablet separately, but this is the first time I've ever encountered this problem.
okay

Did you try another ROM? I'm on #20 and I think I have (mentionable) more battery life. Not charging issues. Guess the fresh installment / wipe helped or an energy eater didn't survive the reinstall. Also I could observe two things (which I don't know of if they are related): Sometimes when the tab was docked it didn't charge. Second the the tab hat a battery problem. When docked and in sleep -> Dock empty next morning. I controlled this with Juice defender but weren't able to locate the problem in an app. This is now gone.
From my experience: I bought 2 power cable for the TF101 (only cable). One works as USB cable with no loading feature (not on USB 3.0 nor on the wallcharger). The other one works as USB connection cable and as wall charger. I can extend the original cable with USB to USB cable to transfer data and charge. I can't get any of that both two (CHEAP) cables to load extended or trasfer data. The two cables I bought at ebay were diffrent vendors. One for ~2,50€ the other for ~4€. If I remember right the original cable where much much more. What I want to say: There are huge diffrences in USB cables. Dunno. It would be a strange accident that the charger or cable broke when / while you intalled a ROM. Could it be that the "intelligent" battery stats are broken somehow? So they think the battery is full and therefor not charge? Or would the icon / indicator then show 100%? Does the icon get its information from the same source (or directly from) as the android battery management?
(ps: 12 hours for 35%=! ROFL!?? What charger is that?)

if it takes that much time even when it's off, it means that it's only charging at 5V.
Also at 5V it won't charge unless the screen is off if I remember well.
There's a special pin/connection made in the cable for the charger to detect that it's a Transformer plugged that will make it charge at 12+V
There's most likely a pin/ contact broken either in your cable / charger /tab, that prevents it to charge at high voltage.

So you say you go with option #3 then because u already did option 2, right? Quote Tim on option 2: "Try to change cable, try to test with another charger.".
So you have 2 x THIS and 2 x THIS? Because that would mean, what Tim suggested I guess. As far as I know this is the only way ASUS shipps the original TF101.
I'm asking because most people that I know would buy another noname charger or even just a noname cable instead of horribly expensive original pieces. If you really got the 2 x 2 pieces shown above,
then I'd guess wether your tablet is broken or the software on it is broken. But again: Did the charging problem REALLY firstly appeared when intalled the ROM? Or did you install the ROM because of the
fault? Or don't you exactly know.
To point out again: It would be a strange coincidence, that both cables AND adapters would stop working exacly at the same time when u installed #19. If you use 2 different cables at the same adapter: Then it's possible that the adapter is broken and only gives the USB (5V) loading speed. If you use 2 adapters and 2 cables and tryed all combinations: The most likely something with the tab isn't cool. The software or the hardware...

Precisely what I meant.
Cheers.
I have loaded #29, and I started seeing this issue immediately. It was fine before that. After loading the ROM, it would only charge when TF is dead. I have the original charger and cable that came with it which was working fine before the upgrade. So, I don't suspect either of them.

I was going with #29 and #30. Havent seen or heard about any loading issues but that was related to loading the tab on an USB port ... What actually is an bad idea even on USB3.0.

[Q] tf700t and dock charging problems

I have searched through the forum and tried all suggestions found, attempted to charge using a wallwart (known to be good) and USB (cable known to be good). Some background: last fall I was trying to flash the ROM and it got stuck in a boot loop. As I was visiting my wife in Taiwan (she teaches at a university there), I decided to take it to ASUS to have it looked at. They diagnosed a bad motherboard and replaced it, but not in time for me to take it home. It could not be shipped back because of the expense of shipping a lithium battery powered product was $$$$$. She brought it back with her and the battery showed as 80% charged (but the dock was out of juice).
I attempted to charge it normally, and nothing would charge, the tablet kept losing charge. I then attempted to charge just the tablet with the wall wart, and it would not charge. I tried a cold boot- no change. I tried turning off the tablet and charging it via the usb port of my powerbook overnight, and it did charge (not completely) and I then tried to finish charging it with the wall wart. It would not take a further charge. I am now attempting to bring it to a full charge via the usb port.
I tried charging the keyboard/dock via the usb port of the powerbook overnight, and it did not seem to charge. The keyboard will input to the tablet when connected, though, but there is no indication that the dock battery is active at all.
At this point, I am at a loss as to how to proceed. I suspect that the battery died for lack of a charge for such a long time (end of November to January 12) and that it must be replaced, but I am eager for some feedback from more experienced hands.
I also want to get it up and running on lollipop, but that will have to wait until this is resolved.
TIA!

Wallwart: How do you know it is good? Is it original Asus? Most usb chargers put out 5v, this tablet needs 15v. If you charge via PC USB port it's 5v, called a trickle charge and takes forever. Not even LEDs come on although it charges very slowly.
I suspect the wallwart or - if the cable is not original - the USB cable (even if it works with other devices).

"No indication" meaning you do not see the dock battery icon in the notification bar?
By design the tablet gets charged first, then the dock battery. If you do this at 5V, you'll wait 'til kingdom comes...

Take the combo to a store, ask them to use a original Asus charger. The dock battery may be busted, but my money is on the wallwart.

Correct, I saw only one battery indicator, which, seems like it is the tablet, as the same data appears undocked

I see little point in that, under the circumstances. I have charged the table 100% via the usb cable, I will see if it now accepts a charge from the wallwart.

It won't. Not from a wallwart for an iPhone. You need a charger that outputs 15v.
If your battery icon doesn't show (even if it's empty) you either have a problem in the dock connector or the battery is totally dead. I think you'll find instructions to replace it on ifixit.com

Galaxy S6 slow charging issue

Hi,
couple of weeks ago, my phone starts charging slowly. Whenever I use any other charger, than original, its charges only with arround 400-700mAh - thats only 1/3 of the charging speed. The non original chargers have 2A output: Samsung car charger, ASUS tablet charger, ADATA powerbank. I tried different cables, restared the phone, charging while phone was off, cleaning the phone conector with contact spray.
The battery consumption is normal, arround 50mAh. The fast charging with original charger works OK. All the chargers, I mentoined, worked perfectly just month ago. Unfortunately, I do not have the options test the chargers on other phones, because all other are just slow chargers (1A)...
Any idea, why this is happening?
partialy solved
I perform some tasks, and it seems, that it helps:
I did: wipe system cache. This increases the charging speed from 1/4 to 3/4 (400mAh -> 1300mAh) from the powerbank. The charging speed from car charger didnt changes
Then I did factory reset of the phone and it seems, that this helps.
The charging speed is very depending on the proper usb cable used. One cable works fino on one charger, but performs bad on another...

all USB Cables have different amperes, some have 2A some have 2.1A, furthermore, it also depends on the power source, the car's charger couldn't be as strong as the wall socket i think.
Anyways, on a side note, i suggest you try Aukey quick charge 2.0 powerbank. fast charges your S6.

I am wondering if this may be related to an update? Both me and the wife started experiencing this same problem, at the same time (different chargers). A few nights ago our chargers were working fine then the next night after 12 hours of charging battery is only around 80%
I did a factory reset on mine on Sunday for other reasons but this has made no difference to the charging issue

I tried this app as you suggest and to be honest my battery is worse rather than better. From fully charged, my battery has dropped by 20% in less than 2 hours pretty much being on standby. See screenshots below.

It's weird, anyway download the latest stock firmware for your device model and flash it using Odin. Wipe everything from Recovery Mode before and after flashing.
What difference would flashing stock firmware make? My phone is up to date and I did a factory reset on Sunday

I have the same situation, my s6is chargind just at 400mA speed, and my pc is showing USB not recognized (windows 10), thought it could be a usb charging board just pluged in new one, nothing changed... the same problem. there is somthing more, likely usb chip on motherboard or maybe battery... or some kind of problems

my culprit was the provided samsung cable. if you're in the UK the "betron" reinforced cables from Amazon sorted my problem... cheap and comes with warranty. Mine is still going strong and no problems here

For my case, it happened after my phone is updated. I brought my phone to a service center unfortunately it's already out of warranty. They are asking around $90 to have my phone fixed. According to them, they need to replace the battery and the sub board.
Im really dumbfounded how this happened.
I have the same problem with my s6 I have replaced the charger port and still won't connect to the pc or fast charge
