I have a 7" Galaxy Tab, from Rogers, P1000R. Just updated to Gingerbread, and since the update the tab won't charge while turned on. The battery icon at the top shows a red X through the charging icon.
has anybody encountered this issue? Any way to resolve?
I'm eventually goign to be putting on a new ROM, haven't picked which one yet. Hopefully waiting for a ICS alpha 4 then I'll try, but I'd like to get this charging while powered on first.
Thanks

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.
Iv noticed since the last OTA update for sprint that my tab will no longer allow me to keep the screen on while charging. I've flashed 2 other roms with the same issue. One being the stock rom + root. And the other is oldmacnut v1 of his cmda sprint rom. Can anyone confirm this is an issue for them as well?
I would have posted directly on oldmacnuts thread but I dont have 10 posts yet.
thanks in advance!
This is a good place to post the question. Are you refering to the red x on the battery icon when on usb or usb/cig charger? If so, I think its more a ui feedback thing than an actual change in the way the rom charges. We have had a few tabs at work that froze up on froyo because they ran gps nav constantly with screen on while connected to usb cig charger. I have been on both roms you are referring to and have not had any issues charging on wall charger or usb. I do get the red x and it seems slow to charge on usb.
Hope this helps!

Guess I've never needed to keep my screen on while charging... Tpike is right though.. Even with the red x.. It's still charging, just slowly..

Its not that, iv read about that change with the last update
This is connected to charger that came with it. And is enabled to stay on while charging. After "X" time, whatever i have the screen time out set to is when it goes fully off. Not Dim like my Evo. Sure I could change the time out setting and set it extremely high but I rather this function normally. Hopefully ill have 10 posts soon Thanks for the reply's so far guys!
there is also a way to modify a cable to get around the red x when charging and having the tablet on. You have to cut the cable and rearrange the leads a bit, but it works to get a faster charge from USB etc. Do a search for USB charging and you should come up with a couple threads that go over exactly what you need to do. Only downside is modifying the cable it will only charge and not connect to the pc any longer so it's best if you have an extra cable to do this with.
Thanks for the information on the cable. But again this is a settings issue with the GB update sprint sent out.
The unit is connected to the 2000mamp charger. The icon is green and states its 100% charged.
The issue is the following setting:
Settings>Applications>Development>Stay Awake > This box is checked to stay awake while charging. The tab is no longer doing this with any version of EF17 iv flashed. Can anyone else running EF17 (From sprint) confirm this?
Yes you are right mine wont stay awake.

OK so im not crazy!
Thank you for confirming this issue that im seeing.
Iv searched on how to correct this and coming up empty handed. Guess ill just be setting the screen time out to a higher setting for now.
Yeah to be honest I think this was relased a bit too soon. Email.apk is super laggy.

Having issues with the Dock where the tab won't pick it up. The tab recognizes the dock for a few secs, the charge light on the tab turns on for about 5seconds and it goes off.
Don't think the issue is with the battery since it takes awhile for it take a full charge, unless this doesn't matter in that case. Believe there's 1mo left on my warranty, should I go for an RMA with Asus or is there something I can try?
Was looking for the latest firmware for the dock but couldn't find it anywhere. Know that it updated when I connected the tab to the dock when I opened and connected to WiFi.
Any help is appreciated!
Hi! I posted that my Galaxy Tab didn't charge, but now I managed to charge the battery using a universal charger. I was able to use the tab for months. But it had problems when it wouldn't turn on and suddenly shuts down and vibrate before the home screen would show up. My solution before was to leave the tab overnight, and the next day it worked. But right now, the solution won't work either. The lock screen would show up but it would say "Powering Off...". When I try to plug the tab to a wall charger, it would show the Battery with a thermometer and exclamation point on the lower right of the icon of the Battery.
I have tried to do a factory reset when it happened before but it didn't work. Would someone please help me?
Thanks!!!
My Galaxy Tab S2 9.7", updated with the latest firmware (T815XXU2BPG2), has started to power on when fully charged. Usually I power off the tablet and go away while it charges. In the last days I find it powered on and fully charged. I checked that it doesn't power on on the moment is connected to the charger, I simply find it powered on after some hours it is connected. I tried to charge it with another original samsung power adapter with the same results (power off until charge is 99% and then I found it power on when fully charged). Someone could explain this strange behavior?
well, this explains why I always find mine discharged after I unplug it when my smart cable shows that the tablet is fully charged without opening the smart cover.

Found exacly the same problem on this forum ttp://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-s2/709518-tab-s2-turning-itself.html (sorry yet can't post links) Any suggestion?
Hi,
I have exactly the same issue. No solution ? Thanks a lot
Still no solution. Same problem on my wife's Galaxy Tab S2 8.0". Definetely a latest firmware's problem.
I don't think there ever will be a solution. We're stuck with an always on Tab after charging.
im getting this too on my s2 8", glad I'm not the only one. it never used to do this i believe it happened after the last update...
Well, it seems that the latest firmware update fixed it. I charged it twice and so far it has not turned its self on.
Same here. Latest update solved the problem.
