I Have A Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 I Got It About 8 Months Ago I've Used The Samsung Official Charging "Cable" For Most Of That 8 Months but about 2 months ago the cable became loose at the Samsung cable to tablet end exposing the wires so I was careful with it and put it away and used my friends official cable then he needed it back so I went off and brought a generic cheep cable for $3.50 So all was good there but slowly I've noticed my battery going crazy like taking longer to charge "2 Days to full" and things like it discharging by 2% when I am on Google while its on charge and when its off charge playing 1 game uses almost all the battery.
so being the awesome soldier that I am I made myself a 5cm cable hoping that the long cable I was using had something to do with it but still I had the problems listed above so I did some Googleing and maybe a 2.5A charger would be helpful But its not recommended. also I sent a email to Samsung and being the "SUPER HELPFULL COMPANY THAT THEY ARE" has not responded to my emails in the past week's Also I Spoke To A live chat person thing and Being "Soo Helpful! " Said that its a hardware fault and I need to take it into a Samsung repair place and fork out $100+ Bucks to get it fixed "HELL NO AnT No BoDy GoT TiMe FoR ThAt" so I didn't go to Samsung to get it repaired so I want to know if any of you guys out there have any idea to fix this problem im having because its so hard to do anything.
Just Checking my emails while its on charge uses %4, On Google for like 5 mins Uses 2%, Playing A Game For 30Mins Uses Well Almost Flattens It, And Watching Some YouTube Takes It Down To 0% And Then Shuts Down( I Watch Lost Of Videos) All This While Its On Charge
At The Moment How Im Copeing Is I Carry Arrount An Inverter And A 12V Battery To Keep It Charging
The SGN 10.1 charging cable is a specially designed cable to deliver 2.1A 5V to the device.
Most "cheap" cable on the market can only deliver 0.5A - 1A 5V when used to charge SGN 10.1
You should find the correct cable specifically built for SGN 10.1

Thanks but how can a cable make all the difference i managed to charge off my old one its just got exposed wires and it still drains when i use it
Are you certain that the battery is actually draining that fast and not simply misreporting it in the UI?
I had a similar problem where the battery didn't seem to last but I eventually noticed that a reboot would completely change the amount of charge remaining, sometimes by as much as 20%. I cleared the battery stats and is been fine since.

Well actually when-ever I turn it off it doesent charge much and if I restart it the battery stays the same but over the last few days ive noticed something weird when its on chatge and I play a game it drops about 20-30% but when its not on charge and on battery it drops by about 5-6% could the charger be draining it? also I have a new new cable its generic (IM NOT PAYING $60 FOR A CHARGER CABLE) and there is no difference still does the weird charging thing also I tried the old cable and still does the same thing the olny thing wrong with the old cable is that the wires where exposed so I dident want to use it just incase it broke

If you don't want an OEM cable and charger you can buy a crap chinese one. But as you and many others have discovered - they suck. This is one of the biggest complaints I have always heard about Samsung.
The solution, and the only on that I have found that works 100% of the time is to buy a replacement from Samsung. Period. Nothing else works like the OEM parts because they aren't OEM parts.

The wiring on the OEM cable is somehow different than most cheap cable.
I'm experimenting by buying a 3M long "cheap" N8000 cable on eBay, may be it can help (delivery time is VERY long )

What ROM are you using?
Stock or Custom?
Rooted or not?
If you are Rooted (Stock or Custom) you can use Battery Calibration app to erase batterystats.bin to calibrate your battery percentage which are needed if you change ROM.

$60 just for a cable? Really? I live in the UK and I bought a whole new charger (official Samsung one, too, including a cable) for about £12 on amazon. Just go to Amazon and replace the charger, it sounds like it'll be cheaper than just the cable (probably 15-20 USD or maybe 30-35 AUD, I'm not sure what the rate is and where you live ) and if it is a charger related issue that'll be fixed too.
Just so you know, I bought the 'travel charger' (the white one) and it works perfectly. Supplies the same current and voltage, and it's a smaller unit, and cheaper! I'd just look into getting one of those.
Is it just me? Is anyone else getting bad charge time from their pre-packaged Samsung charger? We use our Tab 2 10.1 and Note 10.1 (original) with the same Samsung charger. But, it has begun to charge slower and slower until we actually have to leave it overnight just to charge it. And even then it isn't even fully charged! This is a recurring issue with many people here and i haven't been able to find a solution. Maybe it's the rom... or its the charger.

Oy. I was hoping it was just the ROM. Samsung is known for crappy Touchwiz....but that's why i got the Note in the first place, LOL. So, an official manufactuer of this charger, like Belkin, would make a charger that actually lets this thing work properly? Sam Tabs...do they have a history of a really crappy charger?

Then there might be an issue with your Charging adapter.......it shouldn't take that much long..... Wall charging only takes 3-4 hours to fully charge the tablet for me...My tablet is almost similar to yours(4000 maH) and yours may be 4450 maH(if its tab 3 8.0),,,so you can consider 5-6 hours in worst case.

It is Tab 3, 7". I thought the same thing. I tried charging it with my Samsung Galaxy 3 phone - charging adapter but still the same.
I bought it in Dubai. I won't be able to go there until May. It has 1 year warranty. Thanks lokesh
my tab had been charging 100% within 5-6 hrs in wall mount... later i tried many kitkat roms and due to problem in bluetooth now i back to stock based rom... i tried 8 different roms in 5 days time.. and started to facing the delay in charging from the second day itself... many times even i work in my tab with charging... but still charge was draining rather than charging... even after switching to my old rom i am facing the same problem... the battery drains instead of charge...even when i keep it untouched it takes a lot more time to chrge, say for 10 hrs .... does that mean the adapter is messy or the rom related issue
Reviving the dead
Came across this thread looking for a solution to an extremely slow charging Tab 3 8.0. I also have an S5 as a personal phone and an S3 as a work phone. The Tab charged at about 2-3% per hour on all of the chargers. I plugged it up to my wife's Motorola Moto G charger and went from 65% to 100% charge in about an hour.
It's insane that the manufacturer of the device can't make a charger that works properly, but whatever.
If you're having this issue, try a different (respected) third party charger.
Finally, I guess I found the solution
Yup, It's not the device, not charger, and not the ports
Well, it's the cables,
Loose/Bad/Thin cables generally aren't able to transfer high rates of Amps, thus, a infinite time to charge.
I noticed my Tablet is having the same issue, so I plugged the original charger with it's original cable into my phone, and measured the current, my phone usually charges at 700ma, however, I noticed the current going up to 700ma for few moments, and then down to 400, again to 700, and down to 400, this made me think that this was a bad cable
And you ask, why Galaxy S3 and other chargers weren't able to charge the tablet quickly, it's simple, because these cables are cheaper cables that can't transfer 2A for the tablet, use a better 2A designed cable, it will charge your tablet
My tip, buy the shortest cable you can and charge with that. I have compared charging times with so many devices and come to the conclusion the shorter the cable the shorter the charging time. Everytime! A 20cm cable will dramatically reduce charging time!
hello
I purchased my nexus 5 5 months ago after 1 week i lost my charger. i bought a new one without worring about it voltage or power and it was a 0.5A charger only.i used this charger for all that time and i was having a bad battery life at best 3 hours ost from 100to 0.i searched the web recently and found an article about charger and phones etcc and i noticed that the power of the charger must be equal or superior to the power needed by battery or the battery will be damaged.
and i was using a charger with an inferior power than needed.
do you think that i should only buy a new compatible charger 1.2A for the nexus 5, or i must replace both charger and battery.
i live in algeria and i cant find a battery so this is a problem .:crying::crying:
0.5 is the same that you get from a USB 2 port, which all phones are designed to accept
Lol same ****
Your phone will get charged, but it will take longer to get fully charged. There is no harm in using a 0.5Amp charger though. Won't affect the battery.
No need to a new battery

That would be perfectly average for people who leave most the phone's functionality enabled, ie. out of the box type experience. Not indicative of any physical issues with your battery, replacing it would do nothing.
Just bought a new nexus 4 and I've noticed it takes an age to charge anyway I found another two chargers at home and on one of them it says fast charger and the cable is a lot thicker and the other is just another charger but its made by motor rolor.Now when I plug the fast charger in it says its going to take 30mins less than the original charger to complete and when I plug the motor rolor in it about 15 mins quicker than the original charger .my question is would i be doing any harm to my battery if I use the other chargers and should I just keep using the original one.

Nope
You Can Use Any Charger

Hi I've been using the fast charge motor rolor charger and its actually taking 2 hrs quicker to charge my phone .now I haven't had a phone for a while my last device was a galaxy s2 and I'm sure it never took over 3hrs to fully charge.so I'm thinking maybe the nexus original charger was charging far to slow anyway.any thoughts on this? Thanks again
Has anyone heard about Samsung having a dock for the S6? I have a dock for my S3 that I absolutely love and I'd love to pick one or two up for the S6.
i'm sure they will eventually have one. doubt it would be wireless charge though..
i have this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RGIK7P/ which charges wirelessly.
or if you want a cabled/cheaper version, there is something like this:
there this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UV9IX04/
How long does it generally take to charge on the wireless charger? I was going to keep the one I get free with my S6 on my desk and a plugged in dock above my bed so I know it will fully charge each night.

depends on the phone battery capacity. typically my S4 charges in about 2 hours 20mins but the battery on the S6 is smaller battery probably closer to 2 hours if the phone has 8-10% left. i haven't received my S6 so can't post exact numbers but expect about 2 hours or so..
Try wireless here:

I have my current LG G3 wireless charging dock that I really like, I hope it will works alright with the S6 (I don't see why not).

I got this one http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S7IBDGW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I don't mind the wireless ones but I'm concerned with people saying wireless charging lowers the life of the battery. I'm not sure how true that is but it's a huge concern of mine.
