[Q] Galaxy Tab not recharging

Have my Galaxy Tab for about 1 month, without any problems.
I recently noticed that the Tab is not recharging anymore.
When I plug in the USB charger that came with the Tab, it will very quickly charge to 100% (and I suppose stop charging at that moment)
When I then unplug th device and start using it, I can see it count down the Batterylevel in the Status screen. It counts down the batterylevel from 99% to 15% in a matter of minutes, at which point it tells me to plug in the power cable.
Does anybody have similar experience, or is my tab simply broken?
You should send it back to Samsung for warranty claim. This is very likely a batt failure
Update:
I have done a hard reset of the device and recharged it to 100%.
I was able to use it during several days, in a normal fashion, meaning that I use it during the day, and in the evening let it recharge.
So, the problem seemed to have disappeared. This suggests to me that it must be a software or configuration problem, not hardware related.
However, today I'm again in the same situation again.
I already installed the OS monitor tool to check on active processes and their cpu consumption, but nothing abnormal there :-(
Anybody any suggestions on where to look next to try to figure this out?
thanks
Hi,
I have the same problem. I use my Tab for a month and it always works well until last friday.
In the morning I pull out the chargerplug and after a minute or so the Tab tell's me that I needs to charge and when I putt it on charge after 10 sec's it's fully charge.
So I call samsung support and they told me to bring the Tab to the repaircenter and that's what I want to going to do last friday. But before I bring my Tab I complete hard reset my Tab.
Today tuesday I get a call from the repaircenter that they cannot find any problem what so ever and the battery is hours draining.
They ask if I use a memory card and I say that I was using one (sandisk 16gb) and they ask if I can bring it over so they can test it.
But when I insert the card everything stay's as normal, so I take my Tab at home without a repair and restore my backup with Titanium Backup and I have the same settings as last friday.
This is given me not a fine feeling as I realy tust on my Tab and hope this was a one time only.

I have the same problem....pretty sure it's not the charger too.
Anyone else have this issue?

If you are adventurous, please try this, as I have encountered the same issues previously. By disconnecting and connecting the battery, it somehow reset the battery memory in the processor and everything works fine after that.

Battery issues.
Hi..
I tried the rebooting the phone method by pressing the power on key along with up volume key.
I saw four options and I selected the first one i.e. Reboot. I noticed a triangle with ! inside it and symbol of android. I left the SGT in the same mode for an hr after which nothing happened. I powered off the tab . And when I tried to power on, the tab was not all getting powered on..
I am really worrying what could be the wrong.. !
Please some one help me to bring back my tab to life...
I think that you have to reset your battery stats.It is very simple in clockworkmod recovery (aka CWM). I don't know how to do that on stock rom, but you can search this information.
Regards.

Please help!! My milestone does not turn on!

Hey there all,
yesterday, i woke up in the morning and my milestone was blanked out. Thinking, maybe the battery was at 0%, i plugged to the wall charger (connecting to computer never worked below 5% so..), i waited about a full day but it won't turn on. when i first woke up and saw the phone was dead, i tried turning it on, it BRIEFLY showed M logo then it turned off again.
after charging endlessly and having no result, i tried everything, i tried charging without sdcard, without battery to see if it will show on screen, took out battery put it again, tried bootloader, and any possible way but milestone is not responsive.
regardless of how i press power button it wont turn on at all.
Here in Canada, all stores are closed today because its Easter sunday.. I am gonna go to telus store tomorrow to check if another battery will make it work but would the battery get totally drained within less than a year!!? i didnt use my phone TOO much. I bought may 2010, and I wonder if warranty will cover this (it is 1 year) because mine is Rooted with CM6, and since phone doesnt work right now, i cant reset to stock mode.
Please input your thoughts as to how to solve this problem T_T Thank you.
Remove battery. Plugin phone to charger. You should see a battery symbol with a question mark inside. If it does, put your battery in and your battery should start charging if everything is ok with your battery.

It happened with me, but because of flashing a bad rom My MS kept rebooting.
I did flash a fresh rom using Rsdlite and it worked with no problem.
Beside what sileshn said try to flash a new rom.
Goodluck.

@EDIT
I put the phone into the outlet to load and it gets very hot.

[Q] Gnote failed on Kies

Hello XDA,
I could not find a similar problem so I created a new thread.
Last night I was finally able to update my Galaxy Note GT-N7000 VIA Kies from 2.3.6 to 4.0.0 on my Macbook Pro. Exciting!
Then it happened, Kies suggested that I update the firmware on my device. I did, the download froze, Kies froze, the joy was gone.
I tried countless times to reconnect my device and start over but the Note would not connect VIA Kies. It just said connecting over and over. After spending much time I gave up and went to bed having put my phone on charge.
3 hours after I woke up my phone was fully charged. (STILL) Then it was not, now my phone is constantly going from charge (when its not even plugged in) to not charged. Dead, then fully powered. It continues to spam me the whole time with my batteries current state.
Its an international model in the US so theres no support.
How can I fix it? Hard Reset? Throw to the wall? Paperweight? Or XDA Magic?
I take it you are still on GB. In that case, try a factory reset.
Thanks for the reply!
I tried it 3 times so far since this has happened. As soon as I start using my phone it bugs out. Keeps opening Voice Search and then exiting, completely annoying me in the middle of doing things. Then it will turn itself on when I have switched it off. Then beeps at me while its sittin on charge.
I dont know what the hell its doing. I have seen that other people have suffered similarly but they are experiencing problems with buttons not working and they flash. I dont want to flash my device because when I go back to Iraq I wont have internet all the time to just play with manual updates etcetera...

What is wrong with my Galaxy Tab

Hi everyone, first things first I have already read through the various threads on this subject but there doesn't seem to be any consistent advice/suggestions with my specific problem. I was trying to flash a custom ROM on my tablet and I don't know whats happened but the net result is that my tablet won't turn on and it only shows any signs of life when it is plugged in to the wall charger where you see the clam-shell style cell phone connecting to a computer screen but its flashing rather than constant (the forum won't let me post the youtube clip thats out there demonstrating this but google 'Samsung Galaxy Tablet Bricked' and if the first video that appears).
If its connected to my laptop then it doesn't charge at all and the laptop doesn't recognise the tablet at all so I can't re-flash stock firmware via Odin.
I have had it on charge using the wall charger for over 12 hours now and yet there still seems to be no life in it and I've tried all the various combinations of power + volume down button etc
Has anyone got any suggestions as to how I can sort it. Am I right in thinking that as it at least shows some signs that its not dead when you plug it in at the wall, that its not completely bricked?
Any help at all is greatly appreciated and apologies for going over old ground.

Does Odin see it? Computer may not recognize tablet but odin/heimdall should.

Otherwise, send it to this site, they claim that they will repair full bricked tabs

No even Odin doesn't recognise it. Haven't tried Heimdall though.
Its now been on charge for about 2 days and yet if you unplug it from the wall it doesn't turn on/respond to anything.
Boot into download mode before connecting to pc. Then open odin or heimdall. Use the latest versions.

the tab is that dead that I cannot boot it at all, let alone in download mode. If I unplug it from the wall charger it doesn't respond to anything. Completely impossible to do the above.
well my friend you have the same problem of another member in xda, i dont remember where i read about it, but am pretty sure that your battery is completely dead, it shows the same thing, when plugged to wall you can boot into download mode, once unplugged, you can't access to anything. In his case, he tried to charge it for a day, and then the tab turned on, he thought that the tab is alive again, so he tried to flash it, after 3 minutes, the tab went off again before the operation complete, and now his tab is fully bricked.
yours still alive, i think that it is soft brick, or not bricked at all, but your battery is dead, and you can't do anything without a working battery, if you have enough skills to change the battery, get one form the net, and you can also make sure that the battery is the problem when you open it, you can connect it to a stabilized power supply with the needed voltage and current, if it turns on, your battery is indeed the problem, if not, we should think about something else.
good luck my friend, i hope i helped a little.
edit : i fond it

this is exactly the same problem you have, read all the thread, before you do anything more harmful to your tab.
