Hello guys, recently got my dock refurbished from Newegg. It came at 55% charged. the tablet seems to be running and being charged through the dock fine. I just ran the battery on both down to 0 and trying to charge back up to see if it charges okay or have problems like some others.
With both tablet and dock combo and AC adapter plugged in, the tablet is being charged well, the dock is however have been slowly blinking orange (which is batter is low or under 10%) i thought that was normal. Well the battery level on tablet changes/increases as it is being charged, but the dock has been showing 0%.
Read many forums and did many search, it could be that a defective product or something.
Is the charging process supposed to charge the tablet through the dock first? Once it reaches 70% or more, the dock then being charged? Or both being charged simultaneously? If any help would be great. Thanks!
Tried cold-boot

As you can see the dock level is 0% (it does show a charging indicator) and tab level is charging up towards 100%
I've noticed that my tablet and dock charge at the same time (kind of), although it will charge the tablet almost completely and the dock will only charge a few percent. I would try letting the dock charge alone for a few hours to see if it is able to charge at all. If it somehow was discharged below what it calls 0%, it might display 0% for a while.
Ended up sending the dock back to Newegg to get a replacement.
If you run both the tablet and the dock down to 0% and start the charging process with both units connected together, the tablet will fill up way before the dock. The dock basically feeds the tablet any time the tablet drops under 70%-80%, I believe. Once the tablet gets to around that range, the dock will begin to fill up.
Once both gets fully charged and the AC is disconnected, the tablet will operate on it's battery with the dock feeding it juice once it gets to 70%-80%. The dock battery will be depleted while maintaining the tablet battery.
I tried it right now (Just left My Tribez running overnight to drain everything), and after recharging, my tablet is currently recharged at 76%, and my dock is still at 0%. So it charges the tablet first. (Whch I believe it also says in the manual...)

This ^^ is correct. Mine does this too, and others have reported this behavior before.
Thanks for reply guys, before i returned the dock for exchanged, my tablet was recharged to full 100%, and dock was still connected for another night, but it was still 0% next day. Looked over at transformers forum on that site, a good guide is presented to troubleshoot, i tried those also but didn't work, so I assume the dock charging was defective so I sent back.

Hey, I don't know how to force to charge tablet in the car.
I use 2.1 amper car charger. After I plugged it to the tablet I got either red cross or just info that tab has been connected.
I know trick to mount USB partially, sometimes it works and there is no red cross, however I noticed in Battery Monitor Pro:

You see tab's been plugged, it shows "USB connected" and "Discharging" however power depreciation is still high.
When there is no red cross (I mount USB stick partially). Then charge rate is very low - 0.5-0.6 ampers instead of 2.1.
Charger is working good, I tested it.
How to force it to be charged at full rate? I worry about GPS power consumption - Sygic+Locus Pro = more than 1 amper depreciation, so this is matter of time till tablet will go off. The worst scenario... during road trip.
You need something like this with 2.1 amp
http://www.androidguys.com/2011/09/14/charge-phone-tablet-car-bracketron-dual-usb-charger/
Or this Belkin one
http://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F8M114
Or the oem Samsung for the galaxy tab, which should also Work with tab 2

Here is a helpful guide too

Thx, but are you sure that Dual USB charger will give me full 2.1 amper (or min 1A)? I have 2.1 A charger but it gives only about 500-600 mA. I've heard due to USB cable pins made for Apple products (even if it is universal one).

I just played around with making a wireless charger. It is 1 amp and it will charge the 7" tab2. My 850 mah wall charger will charge it as we'll. both show an x over the battery but they charge. The secret is the data wires. They need to be connected together. I modified a cable for a car one time to do this, but many car chargers today do it for you.
The tab 2 will charge off less as it can charge off a pc USB port at only 500mah, so it is not the amps.
Possible solution for chargeing issue

Pardon me but but you have a Samsung Galaxy tab 7 plus looking at your other posts. My P6200 only charges from 0.9A lower limit to 2.02A upper limit at 5vDC if your amps go lower or higher you get that red cross
I get best results at 2.0Amp charge and no more. otherwise battery only takes in 0.5 to 0.6A which I see you observed the same with battery pro I did it with a external power supply that reads drawn current
P.S I know I am late hope it helps somebody else

New One S owner here. I'm finding that when using my One S in the car running Google Navigation (GPS), the battery is draining even when plugged into my car charger. I specifically purchased a name-brand, 950ma charger to try to avoid this problem (using this charger from Motorola), but it still seems to slowly drain if I use navigation, have the display on, etc.
Does this happen to anyone else?
Any recommendations for chargers that WILL work?
You'd really want a 2 Amp charger for that I think, 950mA is only just enough to charge the phone when it's not in use.
Latest update: I purchased this Powergen charger, which is supposed to be able to deliver up to 3.1 amps.
Tried it last night in my card running Google Navigation, and the batter STILL drained; slowly, about 3% over 45 minutes, but it was indeed draining. Wasn't running anything else except Google Nav; screen was on (obviously) and I did have bluetooth enabled and paired with my car's system, but I wasn't using the phone for calls.
Guess I'll repeat my request:
Does this happen to anyone else?
Any recommendations for chargers that WILL charge the phone while running GPS/navigation apps?

Yep, I have the same problem, although for me it's draining like 10% / half an hour. This is pretty annoying. My device also gets very hot (very hot = 50°C +)
I have a brand charger from Hama, so I really don't know where the problem is.
Same problem here too. Charging isn't possible (-10% per hour) and it also gets really, really hot. Don't know if I should charge my phone any longer because of the heat... Has anyone got a solution yet?

This might be a flaw of the phone. Happens to me too.
So you think it's okay charging the phone?
I have found the same thing. All my DC chargers will not charge, only maintain a slow drain, with GPS running.
However I have a monoprice external battery pack model 9531, that does charge even with GPS and bluetooth enabled. I have also noticed that using this in other circumstances it charges the phone faster than any of my AC chargers as well regardless of the state of the phone.
I could not like the monoprice page for it but I believe they still make it. Here is a picture. Hope this helps.

Has anyone tried GPS with Bubba or some of the other kernels that have fast charging? Maybe those would do the trick?
Most Car chargers are internally wired for Apple products ( data ports have current on them tot tell the Apple product what the charger capacity is ). Android phone do not recognize this, so they fall back to USB charging (500ma).
Look at the phone battery settings when charging. Doesvit say USB or AC ?

Hi Guys,
I bought a new Moto G XT-1033.
But the charging time is very high. Eventough it gets fully charged when I leave it overnight , The battery is drained by 6 in the evening.

I have a Samsung charger rated 5.0V 0.7A , My Tab's charger rated 5.0V 1.5A , And the charger that came with the phone rated 5.0V 550mA
Here are my queries :
Can I can use any of these chargers so that I can charge my phone faster ?
Wll using them damage my battery ?
Does my battery have any problem ? or is it fine ?
Will leaving my phone charging overnight cause any damage ?
All help appreciated :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Loocking at your stats I would say you have something around 6h of screen on time, a lot of WiFi and the mobile signal streght is kind of weak.
So your battery is fine. And I seriously doubt that you will mantain such an heavy usage over time. Actually 6h of screen on time in 10h is absurd.
Do you have something like active display?
To answer to the other questions:
1 - You can use your Tablet charger. Moto G supports 1.5A chargers and they will charge your battery much faster.
2 - They will not damage your battery.
3 - Its fine.
4 - No, actually Motorola itself recommends this.

Hi , I tried my Tabs charger today and the phone is charging faster. But it is getting heated up extensively. The phone becomes REALLY HOT when using it.The Charge/Time ratio for the Tab's charger is 2.105 and that for the original charger is 1.090 . So the 1.5A charger is 2 times faster than the 0.55A charger.
In the end , The final charging is done by the original charger and the second last by the TAB's .
The problem is that the heat is unbearable and I unplugged the phone quickly. And when I disconnected the charger , The pohne still showed that it was still charging ! So I turned it off and left it for 10 mins and then turned it on again. Have anyone else tried this and had similar experiences ?
So I think I will stick with the original charger and buy a charger with ratings in the 1A range.
Motorola themselves say that you can use anything with 5V and more than 0,5A so it should be fine.
If it is overheating that much then I wouldn't use it.
Are you doing some heavy stuff on the phone while it is charging?
If you play games while it is charging it may overheat.
Excessive heat and batteries are never a good idea so avoid that charger or avoid doing stuff on the phone while charging.
Right now I'm using a 1A charger from LG and it works perfectly.
Has anyone tried using a non-OEM battery with a Quick Charge 2.0 charger? I've had a TrendON battery as a spare for a while but just decided to swap it with the OEM Samsung battery. After it dropped to roughly 60% I put the phone on an Anker QC 2.0 charger and watched the realtime power with a Portapow Premium DC Multimeter. It was initially drawing 15 watts (9V * 1.67A) and the charging light was green on the charger, indicating fast charging.
After a few minutes I took another look and while the voltage was still at 9V, the current was near zero. The phone was taking in milliwatts of power. I actually let it sit for a few more minutes and then restarted the phone thinking something was off. After restarting I let it sit a few more minutes and then confirmed that the battery percentage wasn't rising. It was stuck around 77%.
I took it off the fast charger and then put it on a "standard" 2A Anker charger and then the battery percentage continued to climb regularly. Really odd.
Anyways I have a graph showing the entire behavior. The green line is battery percentage and the orange line is charge rate as a delta of battery % per hour.

The fast charger has worked flawlessly in the past when I had the OEM battery installed. I'm guessing that if the phone was drawing 0 watts it had shut down the charging of the battery for one reason or another. Thoughts?
I have been using oem charger with my 2 anker batteries without any issues for almost over a month.
Hmm... just took a peak at my phone and it's actually stalled out at a reported 80% of battery capacity, and this is not on a QC 2.0 charger. This may be a battery issue as I believe battery percentages are calculated relative to battery voltage. I'll reach out to the manufacturer, TrendON, but not holding my breathe as it's been a few months since I purchased it.
I have a gen 8 fire hd8 tablet that I have been using for a few years but the battery is dead on it now, lasts under 20 mins.
It is being powered by an in wall micro usb charger that was automated to charge it between 20-80% but because the screen is always on it flew through its charge cycles.
Leaving it on charge all the time is not safe (as my Dell laptop showed me this week where the battery swelled so much it burst the case open)
I opened it up hoping I can just disconnect the battery and power it via the charge port but unfortunately it boots to the Amazon logo and then dies.
Is it possible to maybe wire 5v from the USB cable directly to the +/- of the battery port and leave the battery out?

Hello. Yes You can power it thorugh a 5v phone charger but You have to take apart the electroic board of the battery and apply the 5v where the battery terminals were connected to its electronic board. However on my fire HD10 9th generation i encounter a problem: if there is a power outage, i can turn on the tablet afterwards, only if i manually disconnect and reconnect the connector You show in Your photo. i did not find a workarround this. maybe a button press combination would solve the issue but i did not figure it out yet.
