Wont charge since ICS update

My tf101 stopped charging when I updated to ics. After the first rom I flashed wouldn't recognize being connected to my computer via usb for storage I downloaded and flashed the version from this threat (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334673). The usb storage works fine now but my device won't charge at all while it's on. I know it won't charge with the screen on connected to the pc. But this isn't that. Even plugged into the wall it will not charge unless the device is turned off completely. If it's off and I plug it into the wall it boots up and doesn't charge, I have to manually shut it down while it's connected to the wall charger.
Any ideas? Any help is appreciated.

I was having that too. I was like wtf.. Lol I found that plugging it in and then maually turning of the screen, and then unplugging it and then plugging it back in would turn the screen back on and then it would charge while screen was on. I thought my cord was die'n. Lol

I'm having this to. what's the cause. what's the fix. what the hell....
after nandroiding revolver 4.00, I wiped and flashed EOS nightly. then it wouldny charge. I super wiped with script and restored nandroid and still no go unless I shut down manually. i m starting to think excessive flashing is detrimental to this thing. I already have issues with speakers between OS's out of the blue.
anyway why no charge? help is appreciated.

Have you tried trickle charging from your PC?

That will not work

I've had trouble with mine picking up that the charger has been plugged in as well. I'm happy to get ics but Asus does need to update some of the bugs.

Hi,
I have a TF101 as well. I cannot get the screen or dock to charge. I've tried everything suggested on this thread but to no avail.
I really need a solution to this. I've switch off the tablet for now since it's down to 18%. I've not tried the erase data option yet, does anyone know if this would help at all?
Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

iMy tablet would only charge when off after flashing an ics rom. After much research and near nervous breakdown, I did a lot of research. Mostly on asustransformerforum where there is an extensive thread about this. Since it would charge, just when off, clearly it wasn't the device, firmware (cuz if flashed different roms) or the cable.
With help from the aforementioned forum, I realizd it was the charging brick.
I went to best buy and got a dynex universal camera and camcorder charger that is adjustable to 11.0 v, which is the minimum that the tab will recognize while on.
It is now charging. Charger was 30$
Hope this helps

I checked the voltage on my charger and made sure the cables were ok - fiddly job. After they checked out ok (as I was certain they would) I did the full factory reset and cold booted a couple of times.
All of a sudden it just started charging as normal. Yay!
I can only assume it was an app that was causing the issue though i have no idea which one it may have been.
If in doubt - factory reset - is the way to go it seems.

[Q] USB & AC trouble

Hello, first off I wanna say thank you to all those that worked on roms for the infuse it's fun playing with different ones and peeks at ones not available for my phone.
I'm new to the scene even though I read a few threads relative to the infuse.. So, I'm almost new to android devices though I can pick up on things semi quickly, my problem is USB connections with my phone..
I use the Samsung Infuse 4g and currently on cyanogenmod 9 (ICS), I first noticed this problem 4 days ago, My AC Adapter (wall charger) won't charge my phone, If my phone is on even though it shows it's charging the battery life decreases. When my phone is off, the battery charges but very slowly, also my original USB (from phone to pc) cord broke of course lol. I got a new one today that connects phone to pc or phone to a detatchable wall charger (don't know the correct term for it) so know my phone charges both ways, wall and pc.
At first I was highly fustrated because I could only charge my phone in the car.. Anyway, I went into the settings and went to the battery section, this is where one of/possibly my main problem occurs.
Charging my phone with my original wall charger (the one that only charges when phone is off), it shows up in the battery option: Charging (USB) or something to that extent, WHILE charging my phone from my pc, it shows: Charging (AC).. So my phone won't connect to my PC directly (can't access memory cards and such).. Obviously this is backwards but again, I don't know if that was a mistake on my end or the rom..
You know on froyo when you connect to the pc via USB the options come up on the phone umm, I believe kies, media, then mass storage. I don't get those options either so I can't use heimdall or odin.. Also tried downloading older roms for a more extensive test, thus I can't because most of the links are either removed or go to the multiupload site and I can't access the downloads because of the petition going on..
So I'm mainly looking for some insight on the USB connectors and also a possible froyo, even a gingerbread rom link, I'm not really comfortable downloading a rom from a random site, even a torrent site since I'm not adept with android quite yet..
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, and sorry for the loooong post lol, but I like to explain in details.. I could also provide screenshots of how the phone picks up my USB connections from wall mount and from PC ( with the backwards connections).. Just thought about the screenshot part also lol..
Thanks again

Looks like you have the same problem i had with my old phone. Try going into download mode (remove battery, hold both volume i think then insert battery along with cable to pc, you may want to check elsewhere i nah be wrong on the steps lol i dont think so though). From there enter odin/heimdale. If it doesnt show try other ports, other computers just install kies on the other computers for the drivers. If it doesnt show then come back and tell me... i needed a whole new phone, my usb was fried but yours may not be.

Thanks for the response, and sorry for the late reply, had a lot of issues the past few days. Searched around some more and it's a obvious solution that sadly isn't out there as much. It's true about the "Data" and "Charging USBs.. Sadly they don't put in BIG letters on a package stating the difference, so yeah thanks again and hopefully this will help out someone else like me lol.

[Q] How to Charge .. ?

I have had my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 for around 3.5 weeks. First of all I must express how much i adored the tablet, and how my computer , tv and games consoles became obsolete. However recently, I looked into rooting the device, I eventually did after 1 week of speculating possible scenarios in my head. So i rooted it using the Clockwork Mod method, again it worked fine for a couple of days, until i was playing a game, when the battery ran dead flat. Normally this would of been ok, however when i plugged it into the official samsung ac adapter plug, it recognized it as charging, but in 12 hours it hadn't risen by 1%. I was furious, I had saved up alot of money, for a long time - for it to brake. I then tried charging via usb connection , still no luck.
I tried searching online for similar cases where they couldn't get it to charge. I didn't find any for the N8010, but for other devices. They reccomended factory resetting , to see if that would help. So.. I did that ( after finding that after 2 days it goes up by 1 %) still no luck, so my question to you is:
' Have any of you experienced similar cases with your note, and what do you suggest?'
Admittedly, I am new to this - so somewhere along the line, I had probably failed which caused this, but still any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try Odin to stock. If that doesn't work then you probably have to get it fixed

Plug it into a usb port of your computer. This will charge though slower than your wall charger. I suggest this in case there's something wrong with the wall charger. If it charges then you know its not the tablet...

I was wondering if you had any luck with this yet? i remember back when i owned a droid x i flashed a ROM that prevented charging. If you weren't lucky enough to have a spare battery around some people ended up splitting the usb cable and connecting it straight to the battery to do a force charge. If you are up against a wall and are desperate to get it charged you can check out this guide to opening it up http://cnettv.cnet.com/cracking-open-samsung-galaxy-note-10-1/9742-1_53-50130350.html the reason i say that is because it sounds like you need to ODIN back to completely stock and then start over. You don't want to run ODIN unless you have a good charge though. I have no idea if this is good advice or not... the thought just crossed my mind when i read your situation. Take my advice for what it's worth (not much) and do so at your own risk as i accept no responsibility if you end up with a $500 paperweight.

Damn! I can get it to the same 1 % however quickly, but again I cannot charge through USB or AC adapter, both recognize as charging..
Does anyone know of a way to charge another way?
P.S. I managed to get a charge once.. after not being able to . The outcome was that it was 17% and by the time I looked at the guide again it was out of battery. I found if i completly discharge the battery, then leave it a couple of days, then charge.. it miraculously works! But I don't think that is normal.I will try that again in a last ditch chance , then i will reflash stock firmware.

I think its more of an issue with Rom which is doing that you should try reverting back to stock rom one question if you have CWM why didnt you take nanodroid backup if you would have done that it would have saved you loads of trouble.
I am not an expert of Samsung devices, but isnt there a method like we have in LG using NVFlash or Smartflash which does not require battery.
Also may be the RIL has spooked your charging volts

Mate, that's not normal. If you get it to charge, wait until its ay least 50% charged before trying to flash, though it sounds like things aren't working properly there anyway... If you get it back to stock and there's still a problem definately return it as it sounds like battery could be stuffed. Don't forget, if you haven't already, to run triangle away as you need to reset flash counter before loosing root.... Especially if you're returning under warranty....

Having some issues with Samsung Galaxy S6...

Hey there,
I'm wondering if there may be a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S6 and I wanted to get some opinions before I try one last thing and fully reset it.
I've had the phone since April last year and for some reason the battery life has never really been good anyway. This isn't the main reason I am posting though as only recently I noticed a different issue when I tried to transfer some files onto the phone.
I was trying to use the cable that comes with the phone to charge it, and I've done so before when I've transferred files before from my Macbook. However, that time before I also found it very difficult to detect the phone and kept having to unplug it and plug it back in before it would see it. I was using the software Android File Transfer. Last night I could literally not get it to see my phone whatsoever... I plugged it into the computer and it would charge but it literally could not detect a connected device.
So here's where it gets frustrating as I spent the next two hours trying to fix this issue. I tried searching for a solution online which is why I'm now here after everything as all that I tried didn't work. I tried switching to SmartSwitch (and uninstalled AFT first), but that program also didn't detect my phone. Then I tried Airdroid, which worked only when I used the file upload under the browser but refused to connect to the phone when I clicked it on My Devices.
I even tried the method of *#0808# but it was actually already set to the correct settings so now I'm completely at a loss as to what it could be.
I've previously also had issues where I've plugged in the phone and it hasn't started fast charging and I haven't realised for an hour that it's only been cable charging and had to plug it back in for it to recognise it... is this likely a problem with the phone or cable?
I mean, aside from the also frustrating battery issues which have been worsening as time goes by (currently phone is on 79% having only used 39m screen time), I'm not sure whether it's time to give the phone a reset before actually taking it in to the store or whether it's likely an issue with the connector port at the bottom too which means it's probably not worth the hassle of resetting?
I won't go too much into the battery issues here, but I've been trying to use Greenify, App Optimisation, literally EVERYTHING I can think of, and I still don't get any more than 4 hrs and a half screen time.
My phone is not rooted. (though I'm wondering whether rooting it may help me). Thanks and I hope you have some advice that may resolve my issues!

I have the same issue.. muy phone won't charge unless otra on the wireless charging port

I have the SAME issue. I really don't know how to fix it!

Hmmmm sounds like your charging port is starting to go either that or maybe you could try flashing some new software through Odin and hope that's it's a software issue and as for the battery of course rooting does help bc it lets you get rid of the bloatware on the phone either that or try package disabler pro.

Fast charge not working in s6 after marshmallow (6.0.1) update

I updated my (factory unlocked) S6 to Marshmallow 6.0.1 and for two days it worked just fine. Then suddenly the fast charge stopped working. when i open notifications it says: cable charge, 5 hours until full charge. I tried everything, i have 2 original adaptive fc samsung chargers and none of them works. plus an aukey fast charging external battery, but when i connect my phone it keep saying cable charge. i pushed the usb into the charger, i turned on the fast charging option in settings, tried different cables. then i tried to connect it to my pc, but it doesnt recognizes my phone, and neither does the Mini MicroSD Card Reader that worked just fine before the update. I did a hard reset, but it wont work. im thinking maybe something (hardware) broke in the second day after the update, idk. i remember conecting the phone at night before going to sleep to an iphone cube with the battery at 90%, but that wont explain why my pc doesnt recognise it. I NEED HELP, PLZ

Just a thought: did you enable fast charging option from the battery menu ?

Please read again
it clearly says i turned on the fast charge option in settings

"5 hours until full charge"
something else is wrong here

Why? How do you know? What do you think its the problem?
the weird thing is that when I connect the s6 to the wall charger it pops up the "connected as a media device" that should appear when connecting to a computer. AND when I connect it to the computer it doesnt appear, so I cant move files, etc.

I have the same issue! I know for a fact that it started right after I charged my phone a little on my friend's car charger. I have charged my phones on his charger in the past and have never had issues. It's almost like the phone got scared and locked itself down (stopped transmitting and recieving USB data, therefore not recognizing fast charger or mtp). I have been searching this issue for a while, but have not been able to find a solution. There are lots of people out there that have this problem! I have called Samsung, but they barely even wanted to talk to be because it is the unlocked variant (sm-g920i). Honestly at this point I would be willing to pay them maybe $50 to fix it. It's ridiculous! And I suspect that it is just their dumbass firmware that screwed me over!

I also suspect that is the firmware, but i have searched everywhere and the only ones that could fix it did it by changing the usb port (therefore it was a hardware problem). The ****ty thing is that this phone is too difficult to open, and too dangerous, i dont dare to do it myself, but i neither trust anyone who isnt samsung... so.. i think im just going to sell it and buy anotherone, or idk.. if you can solve the problem please let me know. I'll really appreciate it. (Sorry for bad english)

you might want to try clear both daavik cache and cache.
. I had a similiar problem, that seemed to clear it up.

to clear the dalvik cache i have to root it, and i dont want to in case i have to take it to samsung because maybe if i root it i will loose the warranty. and i already cleared all the other caches like 5 times, i dont know what to do anymore. thank you for the reply, if you know of anything else I can try...

I can confirm that it is not hardware related. I have replaced the board containing the USB port, but am still having the same issue!

And have you found a firmware/software solution to the problem? what's exactly your issue? the same as mine? no fast charge and not connecting to pc?

I also have the same problem, since wiped the device with paper and sometimes back fast loading, however the transfer via USB does not work. I believe it is software problem.

Yesterday I noticed that my data cable connects via download mode by odin, or as may be hardware if odin recognize?

guys,i got a galaxy s6 edge and i had a fast charging issue and i've checked all common solution like changing cables,chargers,even changed the socket but same issue exits my mobile charging in 6 hours and when i go to fast charge option in menu it turned on and at the moment of connecting the cable to automaticly turn off with no choise to turn it on again,any one please knows how so solve??
