[Q] battery not charging

I notice that my battery is not charging. I can plug it into the outlet, and it works fine. I plug it into the computer, and it shows up, but on the tablet, it does not show that it is charging. Any ideas?

So is it charging or not charging? Your post kinda confusing hence no one answer. It doe not show that it's charging on the tablet but is the battery itself being charge or not?

I plug it into the computer via the usb cable, and it does not charge. It usually does charge when i plug it in.

Mine just started doing that right now! I plug it in to the AC charger and doesn't show it charging, says not plugged in. Then I put it on the keyboard and try to charge the keyboard and still says not plugged. I also tried connecting it to my pc, and my pc reads it but still doens't charge. I also just updated from HC 2 days ago. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Usually with the USB to PC it will trickle charge while the screen is off or TF turned OFF. It just doesn't put out enough power to fully charge the TF in a quick manner.
Did you recently change anything on your TF? Like update ROM ect...?
Many peoples have the same problems with ICS

that's weird, because it never did this before. if i updated it to jb, would this fix it? is there a known issue with this in ics? and so my battery does charge when it is off? why only a trickle charge? no, i have not updated/flashed any roms to it.

Have a look at my post on a similar issue: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31612760&postcount=2)

i don't understand why I would need a new cable, or why it would fix it, when the cable works fine for syncing. also, why does it not do a regular charge?

So did mine. no data problems, but it would only trickle charge from ac or usb. I inspected every mm of the cable and couldn't find a problem with it but the new cable worked straight away. I imagine the problem was with worn pins

that's weird. i don't think i would have used mine too much, for the pins to wear out. but you said that yours would trickle charge in ac. mine will do the full charge in the ac. so maybe there is something else wrong with mine?

Sorry do you mean you TF101 charges normally on ac but trickle charges in usb? because that's normal if so

yes. why does it do that? is there any way to change this? would it cause the tablet harm if we were to change that?

No you cant change it. Unlike lets say a smart phone that will charge at like 5v the TF101 needs 12v-15v to activate fast charge. anything under 12v will trickle charge the TF101 and usb's dont not supply 12v, it would do no harm if they did aka the ac charger does exactly that.

so that's why the battery icon shows it's not charging then. it's just the trickle charge. any way to really confirm this? i just want to make sure it is actually doing this.

Well drain you battery to lets say 60%, shut it down, plug it into your pc then check the battery levels after an hour or two. then compare it with an ac charge.

ok i got mine working! I read on a thread that someone posted about the heat sensor inside of the AC charger box that trips. So what they said to do was put it in a sandwich bag and take out all of the air and seal it, then put it in the fridge. I forgot about it and left it for a day! haha. Well i just took it out blew on it a bit to take off the humidity, plugged it in and now its charging.

That the way but I find out another ways:
- take your AC out power point and leave it couple hours or longer and then plug back it'll be work:fingers-crossed:
- After charge or none used anymore unplug AC from power point (not turn off switcher) never leaved it there
because the heat sensor inside of the AC charger

Fast charging stopped working

My S6 is 2 weeks old today and I noticed that fast charging (using adaptive charger I got in the box) has stopped working
Yesterday at work I put my phone on charge and went back to it after 20mins and noticed it had stopped charging.
I thought maybe it the 2pin plug point so I changed plug points and it starts charging.
Come back later and it stopped charging.
Changed plug point again and the same thing happened.
Getting irritated I put it on my wireless charge mat instead.
Today I decided to test the charger and low and behold it's now working but it's charging at the normal rate.
I tested this by using my old S4 charger and I got the same time to full message.
Before when I plugged in my adaptive charger it said fast charging now it just says "Cable charging"
Do you guys think it's my phone or my adaptive charger?
I don't have another adaptive fast charger to test with
EDIT: I was running XtreStoLite ROM, I used ODin and reloaded the latest AOD8 Vodafone SA firmware but still fast charging isn't working.

I'd say it's the charger. There have been instances of them shorting. The last Note 4 I had did the same thing.

Perhaps a silly question, but am I right in thinking that the fast charging only works when the battery is below 20% or so? I tried plugging mine in yesterday when at 40% charge and it just said 'cable charging' (using the out-the-box charger and cable)

When you use the fast charger, it'll say fast charging no matter how full your battery is.

Geez boet, how much does an S6 go for in SA?

I am having the same problem with my S6.
The fast charge doesn't work afree a week.
Last night I plugged in @ midnight with the original charger and cable at 5% and all apps shut down
It said "charging" and not "fast charging".
530am....only 97%.
This is pretty frustrating. It seems to have stopped in the last couple days.
Thoughts?

If you connect the USB cable to your PC and it detects your phone, it's proof that it's the adaptive charger. It happened to me on my Note 4, and I had it replaced with the warranty. Problem solved. Try it and you won't have any more problems. Garanteed!

Thanks - have now realised that I had to push the USB cable extra hard into the charger - that switched it from showing 'charging' to 'fast charging'

Oddly...when I connect it to my computer...it charges (slowly of course).
But the computer never detects it.

Update
@Biggenz the S6 32gig is around the R9000 mark
@BoondckSaint try another Adaptive Fast Charger, apparently even the Qualcomm ones work too. If it still doesn't fast charge take it into SCC.
@alanjrobertson my problem started out like that, I'd have to unplug and re-plug the cable in then it would work. Now more often than not it just doesn't Fast Charge
So, I took my phone in to Samsung Customer Care and after trying numerous chargers my S6 would just say "Cable Charging" and never show "Fast Charger Connected" in the notification bar.
They tested my charger on another S6 and S6 Edge and they both worked fine and Fast charge was working. Had the correct "Fast Charger Connected" in the notification bar too.
I had to leave my S6 there and they will repair it. The technician said it's either the USB connector is faulty or the mainboard needs replacing.
I'm abit disappointed now as my s6 is only 2 weeks old and it's already had to be booked in for repairs.

Hopefully no such issues for me - it seemed to be very much linked to the USB plug at the charger end not being the whole way in but will be keeping a close eye on it!

Have you tried depleting battery all the way down until S6 goes off by it self? Then charge it while is off all the way to 100% or leave it all night. Then see difference. Also one hint which is not quite related to your problem,but just for people to know. Fast Charging is NOT working from 50% and up to 100%. This is normal. So Fast Charge works from 0%-50%,NOT ABOVE!

The Samsung Care Center replaced the USB port on my phone and its fast charging again perfectly. Wasn't anything to do with the battery thankfully.
Before replacing the USB port the phone always showed "Cable charging" whenever it was plugged into the fast charger.
Now it shows Fast Charging in the notification area.

I am also having the same problem with mine it can be seen in odin but no mtp no matter which computer i use ... (yes drivers were correctly installed) also not showing fast charging with stock charger and about 4 different cables that i know work with it in the past. My phones been flashed will this void my warranty for usb repair ?

I took mine in and they fixed it. This was at the Samsung centre in my city. Took them a week because they didnt have any USB ports at their branch and had to wait for it to be couriered from Johannesburg

I'm having the exact same issue with my S6. Only a couple of months old and only showing Cable charging and intermitantly stops charging. I'd say definitely charging port. I've tried the samsung fast charger, the sony z4 tablet fast charger, my aukey quick charge 2.0 car charger and my aukey portable quick charge 2.0 portable battery. Bit annoyed

Same issue here. comp does detect it then it drops over and over. same with whatever charger im using or cord. 2 months old 920W8.
i see one of these in my future.........................

Help, fast charging just stopped working.

I've seen this before. Make sure the USB is pushed in the charger tightly. If it is, then it may be the USB cable is bad

Thanks,

Does it not say fast charging in the pull down menu?

It doesn't.

@sandman513 check if the cable or charger is not damaged.

Noticed this on family members phone check how the plug is in the wall, try turning the plug 180 degrees/ switching the outlet orientation. I kept rotating the plug & one way = fast charging the other = slow charge. Its easy to mix up since the chargers do not have the one "thicker" prong

Wound up buying a new cable, everything works now. Thanks!

Galaxy S8+ 'Slow Charging'

Evening All
So the last few weeks my S8 has been charging really slow.. it doesn't actually say 'Slow Charging', it still pops up with Fast Charging when plugged in (original charger with no damage).
It used to charge from pretty much dead to full in about an hour or so but now it's completely different. When I plug it in from about 20% it says around 2 hours to fully charged with fast charge.
Anyone else had this issue? My charger seems fine, always treated it well etc. My carrier (EE) has told me to contact Samsung but I just thought this would be worth a shot first.
Thanks
Steve

Even original cable charger works both ways, one side its slow charger and other side is fast. Try to change charger sides in the phone.

I am experiencing the exact same problem with my s8 plus. Its just been the past few weeks. I've tried switching out the cable and the AC adapter and nothing. I think I read somewhere that a recent update killed fast charging on some s8 plus models so I'm hoping that If it is a software issue it will be fixed when they roll out the next update. Otherwise I don't know what to do.

Question Not charging

Guys, please tell me how to solve the problem: phone is connected to the charger, but it says that it is not charging.
Previously, he calmly charged, but now he does not want to ..
The wire and power supply charge other devices quietly.

You should try another cable and charger block. Move the connector around in slow increments to see if the lightning bolt shows up in battery. Reboot the phone and check. Common sense is to check these things

The strangest thing is that the non-working cable used to work perfectly. It even now charges other devices.
I tried another cable and everything works, I don't understand why the Pixel doesn't want to charge from the old cable ...

It's about the phone itself. That cable charges other devices and used to calmly charge the pixel, but recently stopped.
I tried another cable - everything works. But the current one is shorter than my last one by 2 meters

Same for me all my previous huawei supercharge compatible cable are not working with the pixel.
