Battery Charging with Red X?

I have just got my p6200 3g from malaysia. Couldnt be more satisfied. I feel like I just opened the only present I wanted on Christmas morning and its better than I hoped. Of course this came with an international gigantic 3 pronged charger adapter. I have (2) 2amp 5 volt adapters I was using for my dell streak 7. I tried them both and still get the red X. However when powered off, the device shows the battery charging animation. In settings menu it says battery state..discharging. I have ordered one from amazon due any day now, supposedly works with all versions of gtabs including 7.0+. Am I getting a trickle charge or is this due to not being a samsung charger? Im using the supplied samsung cable and outlet is capable of 2amps 5 volts.. please help! thank you!
the big 3 prong plug says 2.5 amp 250V? come on this thing cant need all that.. what does this batt need to charge??
##nevermind, I have the charger, just need the 2 prong USA adapter, hopefully I can find one. anyone have any ideas?

The red X is indeed due to not being a Samsung charger. Samsung tablets look for D+ and D- to be tied together and floating at around 1.2 volts or so. If they see anything else (such as the voltages that iPad chargers put on D+ and D-), they'll assume a USB connection and not charge.

Ebay is your best choice for these type of things :

just ran out, tried one at verizon, generic for galaxy tabs and worked... it says 2a 5v, just like my other 2, but those dont work.. im confused.. anyway I got a charger and Im stoked. Verizon guy asked me if he could "hold" it.

To my knowledge, all Galaxy Tab variants use the same method of signaling a "dumb" charger. So any Samsung charger intended for a Tab should work - see my previous post for details.

thanks a lot dude. excellent.

Or get one of these

Plug it between the cable & any aftermarket usb charger, even the ipad ones, viola normal charging. Can even plug it into the computer for normal charging just a bit slower

hi,
i have the p6200 version of the galaxy tab plus, came with a usb cable and an outlet charger that connects to usb cable. when charging on outlet, it charges fine, but when i connect the tablet to my sony laptop, it says MTP instead of USB connection and there is a red X on the battery icon of my tablet, it's also not charging. how do i get my p6200 to charge on usb connected to my laptop? thanks!

I could be wrong, but i don't think it will charge via laptop usb.

It will and does. I've done it, it just charges MUCH slower and if you use it while plugged in too much it will drain at a slower rate than if you didn't have it plugged in. I was backing up my tab and the battery was at 50%, I plugged it into my computer and by the time the backup was done (nearly 16GB full) it was at 70% (took 2 hours)

Buy one of these: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-data-charging-extension-cable-for-samsung-p1000-black-91141
Set it to charge mode, plug between cable and charger (be it a computer or an otherwise not supported USB charger) and it will charge

My Galaxy tab 2 (GT-P1000) will not charge while it is on. I get the same charging icon with the red X. I am using the original cord that came with the tablet. Only when I turn off the tablet will it charge on the cord. The USB still works fine for connection to Kies. I just can't charge it normally. Any suggestions.
Also, I have been unable to sync my tablet so that my music, video, and pictures are available through the "video" and "music" icons on the desktop. I can play the files individually, but haven't been able to add them to the right library for these media players. What am I doing wrong? LOL

I believe you are asking in the wrong forum. This is the Galaxy Tab 7.0plus (GT-P62XX) area. You should ask in the GT2 section or the original GT forum (the model number you posted is the first Galaxy Tab). The fact that you have the product naming mixed up tells me you may have reading comprehension problems
Anyway. You are not being descriptive enough of your issue with usb charging. Are you using the Tab's charger? If not, it will charge really slow if at all (you didn't read this thread at all, did you?).
Also, You can't (AFAIK) play files directly off your Tab connected to a computer via MTP. It would have to be mounted as an external drive for the computer to use it as such.

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.

[Q] P6800 Won't Charge In Vehicle

Had the same issue with Tab 8.9. I have a 2012 Wrangler, with a built in USB port, also have a USB charger plugged into the power port. When I connect my 7.7, all I get is a red X over the battery icon. In the settings under status, it says "discharging".i have no issues with my Note2 using the same ports. Have tried different cables with the tab.
Any body have any ideas? The tab is stock, unrooted, running ICS.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 being a tablet needs a 2A charger to charge, most smartphones need only 1A some even less

My USB charger is a 2 Amp, but is dual port. Could have sworn the package said it was 2 amps per port, unless both ports were used, then would be 1amp per port. Then my other is 2.5 Micro USB, BUT has a USB port in it as well.

The P6800 is picky for what charger you use. I got several chargers and tabs and phones. 2 of those are very picky, the 7.7 and the HP-touchpad.
Just get a real Samsung car charger and you will be ok.

maybe the thing (tab) needs to be powered) OFF before it will charge in your car's USB charge port...
I know at home with the USB plugged into the laptop.. it will NOT charge,,,...unless I power it OFF.. then it will charge...

I'll give that a shot, although would be pointless. Can't use gps, data or phone if it's off. I haven't bought the OEM charger for it yet.
Thanks!

Hi,
I spent a lot of time searching for good charger (bought at least 4) different types, and got allways the same results the red X until few days ago. I tried my Samsung I9100 phone cable (micro USB) with an adpter (P1000) bought from eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-3...Readers_USB_Host_Adapters&hash=item484f20b751) for almost nothing. The result was impressive, on on hour drive the device charges at a rate of 10% progress (without having the red X).
Some thing else that may interst some of questioning the charge from the laptop, I had the same fantastic result (but the adapter does not allow Sync).
Cheers

there are ways to get this done.. you'll just have to buy a new piece of hardware and they are way cheap.
good luck..

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..

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.

Besides Not Pro I've had Sony Xperia Tablet Z for a year now - it charges from USB just fine. I never use AC charger with it...

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!
