Just got a Tab but I bought it off of someone who couldn't find there charger so I had to find one locally quick and the ONLY store that had it in my area was Verizon but it wasnt a Samsung branded OEM charger, It was a Verizon charger that was suppose to be the same but It doesnt charge via USB and Im wondering if for some reason its not suppose too? It charges USB when the Tab is off but when its on it doesn't? I can only charge it via wall charger when its on? So, is That normal? Or, does the OEM USB charge it while its on and this Verizon one is just messed up? Thanks.
Yeah. I got the Samsung Charger. Charging through USB from a computer is super slow to useless.
Only plugging to a wall provides sufficiently speedy charging.
The Tab is quite greedy for power and using either the USB port on a PC or a low Amp rated Mains USB charger will result in either the phone charging very slowly or not responding whilst under charge.
Charging the Tab using the USB and a PC, well there's nothing you can do about it as the USB standard only distributes 0.5 amps (500 milliamps) of power through each port.
Mains chargers however are rated higher but most common one's only have a Max of 1.0 amp.
What you need is a charger that has the capacity to deliver 2 amps.
Check Google & Ebay, there are a number of chargers available rated at 2 amp.
So usb charging while the tab is on is impossible, right? The charger charges fine plugged into the wall, I just needed to know if it not charging via usb while the tab is on was normal, and from what I get from what your saying is that it is normal, it will not charge usb while the tab is on... thanks.

No, I didn't say it was impossible. I said charging via the USB port on a PC will either be very slow or may not respond whilst under charge, it's certainly not the best method. It's just that with only 500 milliamps of power trickling through the USB port, the second you start to use the Tab in anything that requires a decent amount of power you are not going to get any charge.
The only way I find an ability to charge the Tab under a USB connection when connected to a PC is to let the screen on the Tab turn off and not to touch it. It will still happily communicate with your PC and send/receive data but it will take a much, much longer time to charge that's all.
I gotcha, so...when my tab is on it says not charging in the status but if I let it sleep it actually will just very slow... I understand what your saying and thank u for your time, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't the usb cable I got to know to take it back or not...

I charge mine at night via USB to my computer. Starts around 20% by the time I plug it in. I don't power off the tab. Always has a full charge in the am.
I have a double usb cable that is used to power an external drive. I would need a female to female adapter, but this should provide more power to the GT.

Yes, providing the cable you have charges when using with a mains plug then yes, the cable is good.
If however the cable did not charge even when using it with a mains plug then definately you would have a sync only cable.
Thanks, I'm just gonna let it sit overnight with it on sleep n see what happens

To charge through your PC with official USB cable, you should make your own USB "bridge"as short the data wire while insert an 33K om resister between gcc and data wire, an 10K om resister between gnd and data wire.

Yep... I left it on the usb in sleep and it did charge so the cables fine, It just sucks that it doesnt when the tab screen is on but oh well... If theres any solution to fixing this that it charges well from usb then let me know, I know someone just commented about modding the cable to work but theres gotta be a better solution...
Sounds like u bought a stolen tab. No charger or box?

just used a spare double-headed cable from a portable hdd that fortunately has a full size usb plug on the other end. (Most have mini-usb at the drive end)
I use it with a female-female usb adapter and it works pretty well for the PC, particularly on USB 3.0 ports.
I also saw these on Amazon:
amazon dot com/Apricorn-Power-Adapter-Cable-AUSB-Y/dp/B000JIOHDE
I believe Blackberry do one for the Storm as a standard accessory as well
For the car I got a car charger designed for iPad with a USB socket that delivers up to 2.1A
Belkin has the car charger
belkin dot com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=525940
(I should say, I don't actually have this one, mine is a generic brand that also has a 1A usb socket)
cheap chargers....
Just for you to know (and anyone that its taking a look at this old posts) :

and there is blue and black versions, as i saw so far...

no need for all that, just plug it in computer USB and wait it take sometime but it charge, because pc USB are not powerful enough to feed 2A to the tab.
If I helped you, please press the thanks button ;-)
hi guyz
today while charging my incs i think the current was a bit stronger than usual because the charger started smoking a bit
but i can still charge the phone with it but there is a prob
while charging now i turn on the screen but there is no response from screen
in other words the touch is NOT working while charging
p.s : i cant get another charger because i'm in syria

Are you using the charger the phone came with? (the HTC one)
Just use the usb cable part of the changer with a computer? Any usb port and cable will do.

Does anyone know of a charger USB cable with a really short / stubby micro USB plug piece? I have my Nexus installed in the car, and due to the size of the plug that goes into the Nexus, it gets pushed to an angle by the dashboard, which causes things like my USB flash drive to unmount suddenly, USB-DAC to lose signal etc. I have tried both with the charger plugged directly into the Nexus, and using a 90 degree adapter, both are just slightly too tight and I am afraid with the pressure on them may cause damage to the connector on the Nexus itself.
I am hoping to find a USB cable with a stubbier plug, or possibly even an OTG cable with a 90 degree connector on the end of it. Either one of these should give me an extra couple mm in order to not run into this problem.
Thanks.
Have you tried something like this?

Thanks for the link, I have not tried one of those (yet). I did find this link searching around yesterday and ended up ordering the down angled cable. It's not cheap for a 5" USB cable, but should work and give me a little extra slack for plugging/unplugging the Nexus.
One day I was away from home and my battery was low. So I had to use a Sony Xperia charger. But now my phone has problems charge.
problems such as:
-it won't charge
-it only charges to 50%
-the charge cuts in and out
-I have to leave it still or it won't charge.
Has anyone had these problems occur. This is really annoying and I would like to find a solution ASAP
*and the only charger that doesn't cause this problem is ny nexus 7 charger. But I don't want to use it. Because when I tried it, it said it's not compatible and will damage my device.

Unfortunately it sounds like the micro USB connector port may be partially broken. Did you try a different USB cable with the stock charger?

Sorry, that was my only work around. I think you need to get the hardware repaired.

If your phone is charging half way through then It should not be the connector. Try charging through the use if laptop. Try clearing the battery stats if rooted else back up your phone and try restoring it to factory settings.

HI
greetings,
I think its a hardware problem
might be the micro usb port of the cable has to do something
try any of your friends htc cable and plug and see if the problem exist then its not the cable but the phone ....
best way is to take your phone to htc service centre
I tried charging by new phone with the included adapter and it did not, I tried a few outlets.
I took the USB and plugged it in an old adapter from my S7 edge and it started charging ,
Any one else with this problem ?
Ditto.

No problem here. Works perfectly. Even used my note 4 charger and it works, also used the micro to usb type c connector with note 4 charger and it also works. Call your provider so they can send a new one right away, try using your other charger for now. Good luck bro

No problem w/the one that came w/the phone,but,I did receive a Samsung QI Fast Charge stand to where the included wall adapter (apparently the exact same one included w/the Note 7) did not work,out-of-the-box,w/the wireless charging dock (indicator light illuminates for a moment,that's it),BUT,it works just fine when plugged-in with the cord to the Note 7.
Very strange,but true.
All of my other wall adapters,Samsung & otherwise,power up the charging base (Only the Samsung Quick charge adapters enable the wireless fast charge).
So,anything is possible.
There is no such thing as zero defects 100% of the time & unfortunately,you're one of the few that got a bad apple....
It's still under warranty & within the return/exchange window,take advantage of it yesterday...........................
I did have similar issues with small adapter. While using phone connected with my car Android Auto phone would not charge but slowly lose charge. While using original Cable it would charge at 10-15% in about 30 minutes drive.

Hmmm. No problrm with mines.
I order some on ebay (2x for about $3) they both work just fine same as the offical one that was included.
*edit
Well ran into a problem.
I try to use my new car chager and the usb adapter. The phone glitch
While it said it was charging it also said it was giving power out.
