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!!!

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.

And the screen just show me the "charging indicator" !!
And I try to search with the google. I found some of the threads talking about this problems with the samsung device. (but still can't get the solution)
Anyone can HELP me ??

1. COMPLETELY TURN OFF POWER (NOT turn off the screen)
2. PLUG in the changing cable & charging
3. wait for the "CHARGING indicator" show on the screen
4. try to PRESS or HOLD " POWER BUTTON" to turn on the phone
can you guys turn it on or not ??
PLEASE TRY TRY if who is using SAMSUNG device (especially Galaxy Note) !! Thanks !!
I am out now so not able to test this.. but I guess it happened with me (not sure) when I was flashing my rom, my Note is turned off and it was plugged in USB and charging indicator was on... and i couldn't start the phone coz it was charging... but I really didn't give it any attention... maybe its in purpose or a bug.. but for me it was no big deal... I may try it again to confirm
Most of the Not-Wakeup problems are related to the wifi,tun off the wifi and try again that way.
it is the same with my old Streak. I think it's pretty normal
I wait for the charge battery to show up then I hold the power button for two seconds then screen goes blank and it boots.

when the big battery charge icon shows up, i can turn my device on by holding the power button for 5 seconds or so.
Has always been that for me, cant start it when its charging, dunno why its like that.
send it to samsung and reclaim a new one?
After owning a Galaxy S i9000, an S2 i9100 and now a note I can safely say this is normal behaviour for the Galaxy line, never once been able to turn any of them on properly if already being charged.

somebody help me please..
So I was able flash this Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398003 with out any hitches. As soon as the power level goes down to 15% I plugged in the charger while Tab is turned on. It does not indicate that it is charging. So, I turned it off while plugged in. the battery logo comes up and says that it's at 100%.
I turned it back on, now it says it's at 12%, I turned it off and left the charger plugged in for about 5hrs. When I checked the screen the battery logo says it's at 100%. when I turned it on it was at 100% but was depleting the battery fast. I turned it back off, now the battery logo says it's charging. I left it for 30mins. and turned it back on. it's at 8% and cycles from "connect charger" to "charging". Now the tab is dead, it wont turn on. It doesn't even have enough juice for me to restore my back up.
Please, can anyone tell me how I can fix this. I would really appreciate it.

I was using this ROM for a long time and I flashed it over and over without facing any battery problems
so I would say that flashing that ROM caused a battery calibration problem, but sense you can't even charge when your tab is turned off
so I don't think this is the problem
the only thing I can think off is that you should try another charger [I read: cycles from "connect charger" to "charging"]
and yes this might happened, and if you don't have another charger, connect it to your computer for around 5 hours, that would do it
I am currently connecting my tab to the wall, waiting for it to get to 4hrs. I saw this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861229 and am following it right now I hope this works. If it still does not work, I have another charger for the exact same model I could use.
Hi
Thanks for this great site. My problem is that when my Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (i9305) when is switched OFF and being charged displays a strange charge indicator which stays on-screen all the time (screen doesn't turn OFF at all) and shows no charge progress what so ever.
When I unplug the charger from the phone it still remains on screen and when I try to power on my device nothing happens. I have to remove the battery and put it back again to turn on my device.
Please assist me, I don't now what's wrong with my phone.
This is what the indicator is in the attachment.
so you are on 4.4.4 like me... that is offline charging....which should charge your phone while it is shut down....it is supposed to charge it faster then when it is on...
i tested it on mine....turned off phone...plugged in wall charger...after 2-3 sec screen light up showing that picture...after i disconnected the charger...after another 2-3 seconds screen turned off, phone turning off....but it started normally after that...long press on the lock button and started up...i'm on 4.4.4 from germany...only official 4.4.4 out.
