Hi.
Sorry for this noobish question but I really don't have any idea if this thing is charging or not -- I have attach an image when device is powered off.. though it looks like it is charging but every time I turn the device on it says that it is not charging on status settings menu, and got that "Connect your charger" on the lock screen.
Sounds as if insufficient current.
Are you using original wall charger?

No. My sister give this to me but she forget to send the wall charger, so what I'm using is my current HTC adapter. So this is how tab works? lol. Darn. I thought chargers are all the same.
My charger (original) is rated at 2.0A
I think it does need rather high current.

you can charge it with lower current as long as you turn off your tab (just like what you are doing in the picture), but it will take at least half a day to charge it.
You can probably charge it slightly faster by connecting it to the computer with Fast Charge enabled. FWIW my Tab charges just fine with a 650ma, a 1A, and the 2A stock charger.

Dear XDA tribe,
My dad recently handled me his Samsung Galaxy Tab P-1000.
It has been on my desk for a long time without turning it on, like it hasn't been used for over than 5 months.
Now I got an adapter and I wanted to charge it and use it.
I plugged in the charger and the battery appeared and it was charging a bit green. I gave it an hour then tried to power up the tab, it did not work.
Now when I put it in the charger it gives me the following, and it keeps appearing and disappearing. On and on.
I would really like your help, thanks in advance.
What is that white cable?
Do you have the original cable and charger?

Thanks for the fast reply, it feels good to have someone helping.
Don't mind the white cable, they're just headphones.
I have attached a pic of my cable charger.
Should be right charger, doesn't look like mine but mine is USA plug.
The symptom you describe, it is as if the connection isn't good.
Try plug it snugly and leave it for 5-8hr and see how it goes.
Edit: is the charger rated 2A?

It used to charge with it, like I could see the battery getting more greener and all. But it doesn't do that now.
I tried getting it into the download mode, ODIN finds it, and looses it in 2 seconds.
The charger says as follows;
OUTPUT: 5.0V = 1.0A
Well,his charger looks different as he is from Riyadh. Priyana's method should work
But mine is 2A. I think this charger is a bit underrated. Should be ok still. But charge slower. Don't go flashing until it is full.

Well, I don't really think it is charging.
I left it for an hour now, it's still doing the same thing.
Would it be a good idea to open it apart so I can remove the battery and let it work straight on the electric plug?
Hhmm..
I think the circuit doesn't work that way.
But you can charge using a PC USB port too albeit slow.
I still think you don't have the right wall charger.
Sure it isn't mixed up with some other Samsung device?
Edit: attached picture of my charger, with the removable bit to change the pin plug, I suspect a UK plug is available.

So you still think I should get another charger. Although this one used to charge it.
So you don't recommend opening the device?

Yes, just keep charging. You know that car charger may work better? Those that goes to cigarette lighter.
Car batt has higher amp and the DC charging is more pure than AC to DC.
I don't recommend opening and I don't know if it works.
In my HTC magic, if I take out the battery, the charger won't power up the phone.
The point is, just keep charging if you can, on PC, USB 2/3 or car.

Alright, I fixed it. Here's what happened;
I thought that since the connection seems to be interrupted, I thought that it was time to change the battery since so much time has passed on and the device didn't work.
So I got a new battery, installed it and WA LA !
THE GALAXY IS BACK TO LIFE AGAIN!
Thanks for your help everybody!
Thank you Priyana

Pls reply fast any1. I am really struggling as the I got my nexus 7 from USA and I can't use the USA charger in India. I have this Samsung charger - ATADU10IBE, but it is charging very slowly, like 1% in 20-30 mins. Thanks in advance.

Also if this won't work properly then can any suggest any other option(USB CHARGER) which I can buy online in India or a converter which I can use with ASUS US wall charger. In India we use European style wall chargers.

5V 2A is what you need at least, or get a pin converter like this http://bit.ly/S8E53E which should be available easily.
i lost my samsung galaxy note n7000 charger..
i just want to ask what is the exact voltage and ampheres it has...
i have many chargers from other phones i have here just not sure what is safe to charge from..
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Input = 150-300VAC ~50-60Hz 0.15A
Output = 5.0V = 1.0A
I think charger with output 1.0A or more will charge faster
But its always recommended to use the original charger
thanks bro.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Any USB Charger will do. I use a 2.0A one and nope, its not faster. It takes the 1.0A and thats it.
