Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Charging problem - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I was using my tab the other day at a OK battery level (somewhere 30-40%) when it suddenly reboots and the charge becomes 1%. I hasten to charge it and it charges. But it won't rise from 1%! The only way I can fully charge my tab now is by turning it down completely and it takes about 2-4 hours for a 100%. I don't know what the problem is here. My charger? My battery? Or software issue? Please help. Thanks in advance.

Idk if the 7inch model also has this issue but if you search tab 3 8.0 charging issue you will see its a problem. In fact, my tablet is away being repair right now.

How long does it take for a full charge? [Culprit: Bad USB cable]

Well I need to know from you guys, it's not that I don't know, but need to reconfirm. I think mine is taking much lower now than it was. A full charge, say from 5% to 100%, with Stock charger?
Thanks in adv.

roughly 1 percent for 1 minute. should be charged in a couple of hours

Charging from 0 to 90% happens in no more that 2 hours I would say. from 90% to 100% the charging rate gets slowed a lot. So basically shouldn't take more than 2:30 hours from 0 to 100%.
Thanks guys. Now I remember it was 2 hours 45 mins for me too at first.
Today it took 4 hrs 30 mins. Reason? I'll say tomorrow, after confirming.
Jeez PowerAMP!

I rarely charge it to 100%, usually to 70 or 80%. much better for the battery in the long term
Any research or refrence for this longevity ? I heard its always better to charge 100% ?

Thanks man ! Really helpful article...

you are welcome. the general rule is to try to 1) avoid charging to 100%, really diminishing return the higher it goes; and 2) avoid deep discharge cycle. I usually use 40% of the capacity at work everyday, so charge to ~70% in the morning, use down to ~30% and then charge again. charging time in this range is rather linear, about 1 percent a minute

Yeah, it happened to mine too few days back. My Note2 went crazy, taking around 7-8 hrs to fully charge from 15%. So, i tried searching about the problem on google but to no avail. Did a factory reset with cache wipe and problem solved :good:. Now it takes about 2.5 hrs to fully charge from say 10% (using the samsung wall charger with phone switched on). I can only say that the slow charging was caused due to some software but don't know exactly which one? You may as well try the hard reset if anything else doesn't work out .
P.S : Btw i'm on stock fw with no root or mod! Only did some OTA updates couple of weeks ago.
Guys, we have a changeable battery and is already writed Inside to android that it won't charge to 100%, it just shows at 100% but really it is at 95%-98% that feature came with 2.2.1 update 2yrs ago.
And we can change the battery after 2yrs for 20-30$, unlike Nokia lumia users or HTC one x or iPhone users.

Yeah, thanks. But if you've Watchdog installed then you can see which app is going over threshold and keep running on background. And yes, this time, again, the culprit was PowerAMP! Uninstalled it and voila. The same app created problem for me when I had my S2, charging was pathetically slow, even I had to go to SC and they said battery is gone. But I didn't believe and asked a techy friend and he said it might be some app, and damn right he was.
Anyway, if anyone having the same issue like mine, that is, charging duration has increased with Stock charger, then install Watchdog (the lite version will do) and see who is the culprit.
I have no idea how a top app like PowerAMP could cause this! Jeez!

The same problem happen to me few days ago..during that that i was charging using extension cable where 3 pin plug is sharing with my note 2, laptop n tablet charging @ the same time..its take nearly 4 hour for fully charge the note 2 while im using n charging my laptop n tablet..but, from that i understand that when the connection all charging at the same time on the same 3 pin plug, the load are higher which decrease the current value (current drop)..that the reason why my note 2 charging slow..check if OP case is same like me??

Hmm! Thanks.
Well I wasn't using the same plug point but the charger was connected to my Belkin Gold surge protector, where my whole PC and monitor is connected. Could that be a problem?

Orly? Oo I use PowerAmp and have no such problems. Use betterbatterystats to find out what's going on... It's not PA.

Is this long-charging-time problem a single occurrence or you are consistently having this problem?

[Q] Charging Overnight

Hello!
I just bought my note ii and the phone its awesome! I just wanna ask if there is a problem charging the phone overnight?
Thanks in advance!
No. It will be fine. That what I do all the time when battery hits 1%
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
No problem. I charge every night regardless of percentage.
Although if it's like 90 or higher i just leave it til next day.
I like to make sure i have a full battery each day instead of charging as little as possible like other people

Note 2 charging in only one hour !

A friend of mine told me that his Note 2 GT N7100 is charging from 20% to loo % in only one hour.
the Battery usage is Normal as it withstand 10 hours with heavy usage.
He bought it a month ago.
Is this normal or he should go back to the reseller?
He is using original charger by the way.
thanks for your help.

Firstly install Galaxy Current widget and check the current that is getting transferred how much Volts, Make sure you try this with the Wall out let as well as USB from your pc and make a note of it and let XDA know here and we will suggest if there is any problem or not.
also mention if its complete Stock or Rooted and What Mods are implemented ?
Ok I'll do this first and let u know.
Thanks a lot.

i have to charge my note2 for 4 - 5 hours.
Is it normal? i want to charge faster. What should i do?ยด
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Average normal charging time from 0 to 100percent is 2hours, regardless of the rom, from an AC wall charger. And about 4hours from a USB connected to the computer. 1hour is very unusual, I would suggest doing a full system wipe and reinstall the rom. If the charger is delivering above normal current then it may damage the battery in the long run.

[Q] first charge on my note is taking 8 hours and counting

Hey so I just picked up my GN2 from verizon yesterday and ran the battery down to zero so it could get a full 0-100% charge but i plugged it in at around 10 PM and its 8 AM now and the battery is only on 71%. I am using stock battery and supplied charger and cable plugged into the wall.
Is this normal for it to take this long to charge or is t just because its the battery's first full charging?
Install galaxy current charge app from store.
It should show 1800
This is common issue of Note2 cable.

As dr.ketan says it's a known fault and is probably your cable going faulty

Battery not discharging properly

Since installing 4.4.2 my battery isn't discharging, at all! It's been stuck on 100% for the past four days. I haven't really used it much since but the battery should be way down by now.
Isn't that a good thing?

Are you still having the same issue?
Because I think I'm maybe having the same problem.
My tablet keep shutting off at 40% as if is 0%. It all started since this past weekend.
My tablet is unrooted ,try to search the web for a solution but haven't found one yet.
I'm trying avoiding to do a factory rest because I read the issue still persist.
Everytime I recharge my tablet it stay a long time on 100% and the moment it reach 40% it shut down a,msg appear saying battery low and shut off.
Also take note I've read about those app calibrator but keep reading that a myth.
Let me know if your still having the same problem?
No, I actually fixed the issue. Believe it or not I used a calibrating app and Root Cleaner and did a full clean and it appears to be working as normal now. I'll add later which battery app I used, can't remember the name.
EDIT : Actually it was just Root Cleaner. It has a batter calibration setting.
