[ KatKiss-KitKat #019 ]Battery not charging? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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.

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.

AC discharges instead of charging

Hello to all XDA-Developers and mortals
After years of using this forum and always being helped by just using the search function, this time I need to make this Post to hopefully get some help.
I have right now a touch Pro, with the original rom from HTC support site on my tPro. (Before it was several different Energy roms)
since a week my only chance to get my tPro charged is, using a USB connection cable since the original charger won't charge furthermore it discharges my device in less than e few minutes. I can actualy watch it sucking it out.
hase anybody an Idea what might fix this problem.
I want to (miss)use this post to thank all the chefs and developers that have worked on improving our everyday experience with our devices.
thank you all.
just go to start-->settings-->system-->battery and should say something about not charging on pc and you should be set from there

there is the option that says [do not charge over USB if conected to PC]
if I uncheck this one it won't even charge over USB, but my problem is that the battery is not charged with the original charger.

have u shut off the phone properly and take out the battery for like 30 seconds and putting it back in and connecting the charger? if that doesnt work, look for a spare USB cable sometimes USB cables give in at times, or look for a usb ac charger

[Q] TF101 only charges when completely shutdown?

I am having the weirdest problem on my Asus Transformer TF101 . I had updated to ICS via ASUS's check update option and then it stopped charging at all ( I do not have the dock, just the wallwart) .... . It would not charge ( not even show a charge flash symbol on the battery ) when the tablet is on AND plugged in..It would ONLY charge with the Wallwart when the tab is completely shutdown .i.e. I would have to shutdown the tab completely and then plug it in so that it can trickle charge over night to +80%. I changed the cable , changed the wall wart same issue... Then I thought its possibly a sw issue so I resetted , wiped caches, reset battery stats and even upgraded the sw to a Rayman's CyanogenMod 10 ♦ B4 ( currently running it ) .. Now I can at least see a small charge flash symbol when the tab is plugged in but instead of charging the tab , when I look at the battery status it shows discharging.... I can only charge this dang thing when its completely shutdown.. I still think its a sw issue.. Wondering anyone else had this issue and more importantly what is the fix ?? ..
Fixes I found in the forum that I've tried so far :
1. check/uncheck the stay awake option
2. Rooted ,installed Rayman's CM10-B4 rom
3. install dual battery app to check battery stats,( dont know why was this suggested as a fix )
4. wiped battery stats in recovery mode , thrice
5. changed usb cable
6. Put the charger/wallwart in freezer overnight and then check the charging ..
I'm outta warranty duration so desperately need to fix this on my own ..
You are using the ASUS TF101 supplied charger with its included cable, and nothing else? I.e. no extension USB cord etc.
The ASUS TF101 charges using 12-15V from the wallwart, not the standard USB 5V. Using standard USB, it's only able to trickle charge during power off, and this sounds exactly as what you are describing.
I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. I even tried the freezer trick too in desperation as it was my last resort before admitting defeat in my battle with trickle charging. In the end I purchased this charger off ebay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140714910102?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I know it's advertised as a UK charger but if you read further down the page they ship the US and EU charger too. I've had it for about a week now and it works perfectly. I was dubious about buying a non Asus charger after reading reviews about them on Amazon about overheating but mine seems fine. If anything it's actually cooler than the original one.

I have tested with the same USB cable that came with it originally and the wall wart is original too. I changed the wall wart and USB to see if there's a difference but apparently none. Not using any USB hubs either...

Sorry to disagree, but everything you describe sounds as a charger issue to me, not a SW issue. If it happens even with the TF powered off this makes me almost sure...
Sometimes it's good to start from the begining, although you think you have tried everything...
Get your TF, your asus original wall adapter and cable and try it. Does it work?
If not try another outlet on your house. Does it work?
If not, you may even try another outlet (work, school, whatever). Does it work?
If not exchange only the wall adapter (for another asus original one if possible) and start over.
If nothing changes, get back to your wall charger, change the USB charging cable and start again.
If nothing changes, change wall adapter + cable and start again.
Remember... The TF will only charge with the asus wall adapter and cable or a specific charger. If you try to use your computer's USB or a wall adapter from a phone / generic USB device you won't get any charge at all, and will only trickle charge when the TF is off.

Sounds like there is an issue that the charger is not recognizing that an Eee Pad is attached. Might be time for a new charger.
Hello all, I have the exact same problem. I received my Asus TF101 for Christmas last year. Then later I found out that you need it root it in order to upgrade the OS. I rooted my TF, then I upgrade it the OS from Honeycomb(4.0.3) to Jellybean(4.1.2), (4.2.2) A month later after upgrading the OS my battery drain faster and I can only charge the battery with my TF turned off. If I plugged the the charger while its on it, the battery says its not charging. I change the wall wart and the cable but the issue still persist. Please help!!!

Is the new wall wart you are using a genuine Asus wall wart? If it is just a tablet USB charger, that will not work as the TF101 needs 15 VDC to charge instead of the standard 5 VDC of USB. The Asus wall wart auto-detects and switches between the two voltages to allow it to be used for other devices as well.

[Q] Won't charge

So I went to turn the screen on, noticed the battery was at 17%, then checked the battery info and it said it had been on battery for 3 days now (odd), so I tried to plug something else in the asus usb wall charger, didn't seem to be working, so I tried using my nook usb wall charger with the transformer (it was 2.0amp output i think), the transformer still wouldn't charge. Tried plugging it into another wall outlet, another house, a car, still won't charge. tried changing cables, did nothing. even tried changing the rom. was on paranoidandroid, then put back on cm10.
I didn't try changing the recovery (using TWRP) figured that wouldn't affect anything. When I turn the device off it does charge, but goes up by 1% every hour, or even less.
So I'm at a dead end on what is going on or what to do, anyone have any suggestions? I don't know if asus would still honor the warranty since I have it rooted or not.
Did you try wiping battery stats from CWM? If it comes to that, you can flash back to stock and Asus would be none the wiser.

Well like my original post says, I'm using TWRP and not CWM... but I'll have to reinstall CWM because TWRP sucks in terms of features. Doesn't even have that battery wipe option. I'm going to try to install CWM and try that but my battery is very low now (6%.)
As soon as I reinstalled CWM the device now says "charging" but it still won't charge. Device is at 3% battery now, lock screen says charging, but the status bar says not charging. Even tried wiping battery stats.

I have good news AND bad news. The good news is: You're not alone cause I have the exact same problem and it's not your software, cwm or rom. The bad news is: it's your usb cable. As described in this excellent thread, the TF101 needs at least 11v to charge. The wall charger by default charges with 5v, unless there is a 15v cable plugged in like usb3 cable which will short so the charger will know what's attached. Then it will give a 15v charge and the tab will charge. Unless your usb cable is broken, like mine. I've attached a pic of my usb cable, where the yellow wire has come loose and the circuit is broken. The charger will only charge with 5v and the only when the tab is turned off. For the fun of it I will try to solder it, but the easier (and much less frustrating) way is to buy a new one on ebay for a mere 4 dollar. Bought mine today, so I hope it will ship soon. Good luck!

Thanks for the information, I didn't realize the asus usb wall charger was rated at 15v = 1.2a, because here all this time i thought it was the amps that made the difference. Also I did had two asus usb cables. I plugged back in the original asus usb wall charger and the device says charging by ac now.
So I have confirmed my problem was when I flashed the TWRP recovery, for some reason it wasn't allowing the device to charge correctly, the CWM recovery works fine.

[Q] My TF101 wont charge but it connects to the computer

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!).

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.

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.

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
