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!
Hi all here, would appreaciate some help and feedback on the charging problems Ive been having with my Xoom II 10" tablet, here is my story.
Recently for the past few days I have been having on/off problems with charging the battery in my Xoom II and it started about less than a week ago, or lets say close to a week.
One evening before I went to bed I decided to put my Xoom on charge as per usual and it was down to 10%, the next morning when I woke up the charge was only up to 15% and just stayed there. a day later or that evening I managed to charge and get it back up to 100% which was great than after I had used it for a while and when it dropped down to 40% I decided to try and recharge it again and I was back to square one, infact this time after charge the batt dropped by 5%. This time the charging was not stable and kept fluctuating.
I thought perhaps the Motorola charger was faulty and tried it very quickly on my Samsung Galaxy Note II and it did show that it was charging, so I ruled that out. i did deide to try and charge the Xoom with a Samsung 2A 5V USB charger and someone it seems to help and work but not all the time, once again fluctuating.
Now its got worse and today when I tried to charge it it was from 0% and went up to 20% and that was it and would not seem to hold charge at all. I took it to work with me and left it on charge and after a period of 2 hrs it still showed 20% if not dropped to 5%.
Some Questions
I have noticed near the charge port when ever I plug the charger in a white led light comes on, note that this light is near the charge port not the other message indicator LED light or notification light.
The other funny thing is when ever I plug a samsung or some generic brand charger in the xoom I get an error popping up telling me that this charger is not optimised to be used on tthis tablet etc etc, but I mean really speaking isnt a 2.0Amp USB charger a USB charger regardless of brand. I can use another generic 2amp charger on my Note II and dont have any probs at all, so sorry bit confused here..
looking forwards to your reply.
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
Cheers
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.
Hello. I had my nexus 5 for about 2 years now.
My charger broke aproximately when the battery began to drain fast. Now I think thw battery is the problem but i'm not sure so I want to buy a new charger to make sure that it's not the broken charger.
Thats why im asking if a broken phone can break chargers?
Thanks
No.
