hi, does anyone have a solution. when i plug my note 3 7" in it doesn't even register as being plugged in. do other roms correct this problem? or is there another solution. I've tried different plugs with outputs that say they are the same as the wall outlets (which charges fine)
This is a major problem as i only got this tablet to replace my car stereo. I have everything done and wired up, but now I have a tablet that can't charge while in the car.
Any solution and I would be very grateful. thanks.

Chances are your adapter isn't putting out enough amperage.
What is it rated for? The tablet really wants 2A, though it seems to work ok with 1A. That said, it also seems to be a bit funny about cables.
I only just got mine yesterday, so early days, but have noticed some charging weirdness.
My charger says 2.1A and is capable of charging an iPad. I tried 2 different cables, both data cables but they both work in a wall charger.
I was hoping someone would tell me to update to CM and all would work fine because there are some odd UI glitches in the touchwiz, especially bluetooth disconnecting.
I dont want to root and ROM unless I know these problems will go away. I will return this thing if the problem is unsolvable. I have about a week left.
I've been searching the interwebs and went to the Samsung store at Best Buy (mistake) and haven't been able to find a concrete answer.
Does the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 have wireless charging? Qi? Actually any of the new galaxy tab pro line?
The back is not replaceable like other galaxy devices so an aftermarket replacement back with wireless charging is not foreseeable correct?
Thanks for anyone who can help!

It does not have wireless charging. It would take a week to charge it even if it did.
I remember having the Palm Pre wireless charging puck and yes, it was slow. Even doing other things while having it wirelessly charge (watching a movie, playing a game, tethering) would slow the charging rate down to the point where it would actually discharge because the power drain was higher than the charging speed LOL
I had wireless charging on my nexus 7 and loved it. Yes it was slower but it was nice to not have to fiddle with USB cables in the dark. Batteries usually last the day so I just had to put it on at night. If bought 2 Nokia Qi chargers at att when they were on sale for $25. Now they are just collecting dust.

I have a G Pad and have a QI USB wireless charger receiver, basically plugs into USB and stick the coil on the back plate with sellotape haha!
The great thing about this is it can work on phones that don't support QI.
I have got a case off eBay to hide the receiver (it still chargers great) through the case.
I'd say the maximum charge distance was maybe 5 - 7 mm.
It is slow. About 13 - 14% an hour. (Stock was 9%)
I drop it on QI pad at night and its 100% when I get up.
I sometimes put it on when I go out and whatnot. I love it!
I can deal with the charging rate, because its a lot more convenient, I'm one that fiddles with USB cords haha!
Still use USB for phone but converting to full Wireless slowly.
Does anybody know of an MHL to HDMI adapter that works with the Galaxy Tab S? I have one for my wife's Galaxy SIII that outputs video but does not charge the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 that I have - it recognizes power but has the little no charging symbol over the battery. Just curious if anyone knows of an adapter that does both, displays video and charges the Tab S?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have the "official" Samsung MHL to HDMI adapter that I bought for my Galaxy S3. This adapter works also with my Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Tab S.
IIRC, you have to plug things in that order for it to work :
- Power to the MHL adapter
- HDMI to the TV
- HDMI to the MHL adapter
- MHL to the Android device
At least, that's how I'm doing it and it works... HDMI is displayed AND the tab is charged. I tried with the charging adapter that came with the Tab S.
Hope this helps.
BTW, my adapter looks like this one :

I have a Fosmon adapter that does not work. Tried it your suggested way and nothing appears on the screen. You don't need to activate anything on the tab, do you?
I need this for next week. I wonder how fast amazon can get that one you use out to me.

You need to use one specific for Samsung. Their pinout is different and a normal MHL adapter will not work on Samsung hardware.

OK, I picked up a Futureshop one
http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/prod...spx?path=23867a5729eeb996a686a7ae91419bcben02
and on the packaging it states that it's for Samsung. I'll test it tonight and report back.

Looks like it will. I use the one below. The adaptors mean it will work with anything and I don't need a separate HDMI cord. It is also $10 cheaper.

Good deal. I needed it fast so I didnt have the luxury of waiting for a week+ for shipping. Fingers crossed mine works.

No, it worked the first time I tried without having to change any setting or launch any app.
Well I guess I'll have to try the adapter that dcoulombe referenced on Amazon. The adapter I have is the Cirago version but I guess the adapter I have just doesn't pass along enough power to the tablet to actually charge it. It works fine otherwise, as in it outputs to the TV fine, just doesn't charge the tablet. I'm guessing the Samsung version must pass along more power through the adapter to the tablet.
Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Have you ever found fully working adapter/cable? I've tried these two:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LL1LD1C/
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ESM3UVC/
and none of them works. First one does mirroring but only at 24Hz refresh rate but does not charge. 2nd one is not working at all, it does not charge Tab S (it does for S3) and no video output but maybe I got defective one.
if Sammy is changing the standard setup for a reason then i would like to know what that is. if its to sell their own stuff for profit then lets see the stuff???
since the Tab Pro release there has been NO updated adapters by Sammy and their website clearly does not show compatibility for most of this stuff past the S3
weird and i like most of you have bought many things to find half work as good enough for now at best

Sorry for digging up an old thread but im wondering if either of you 2 have had any luck? Did the futureshop one work? I got a MHL adapter on ebay recently that works fine but does not charge my tablet.
Yes it dis. As expected. I havnt had to use it in ages so I don't remember if it charged or not. Sorry I forgot to reply back!

No problem. Any chance you could test to see if it streams and charges simultaneously? That seems to be the problem with a lot of these MHL adapters they will play video no problem but often not charge at the same time which makes the battery drain insanely fast.

i am 99.99% sure that we are not going to see what we have all searched the ebay and internet world for unless Sammy makes it and since our device has aged now i doubt.
i spent over $100 extra trying items with no luck

Sorry do you mean no cheap ebay amazon etc adapter will output video and charge at the same time. Only the adapter made by samsung will do this? I seen you with the same problem I had in another thread and am curious to what you have figured out.

i dont think you will find something to fully charge and video out. you will find charge at 1amp but that will just prolong your use but eventually run the battery out and you need to find video out with 2amp charge combined with Tab ability to recognize it which i do not believe you will find.

So right now my adapter shows no sign of it actually doing any charging. Is it possible that it is charging at the 1amp but just not displaying it?
Is the samung adapter the only one that can accept the 1amp charge?
I'll have to search for it. Not sure where it is.

Thanks for the help.
I have the S20+ SM-G986B/DS and unforunately it doesnt do any wireless charging. Not on my charging pads and not in Volkswagen or Audi Official Charging areas. Tried to turn on and off the fast charge capability but it does nothing at all.
Looked for further help in the Developer Settings but nothing htere that could help. Should be on the newst offical version out there in Germany.
Is there a solutions to this problem?
It was just handed over to someone else to use it which is odd as it was just factory. I believe i used it last year at some point and it worked on the wirless charging pad "Fatboy" i have from the good old Nokia days. It is not in a case or anything
So am i the only one with this problem and a broken device or is it some software issues with Samsung
Okay, thank you. Very helpful
The only thing i think you can try is to use original samsung wireless charger, any will do. If it does not start charging, then i'm afraid its a problem with your device. The reason i'm suggesting this is that samsung included recognition of wireless charger at some point, and if its not made by samsung it wont start charging. That doesnt mean that it wont work with any other, but may be the reason that your device is not charging on nokia charger.
I have few cheap chinese QI chargers (home/work/cars) and they work perfectly fine with S20+.
They work fine for IPhone, S8 and S20 too.
Not surprisingly, the watch's battery is not great. I would like to purchase two additional chargers to have them in my car and in my office at work. But the official charger is a bit overpriced. Does anybody know of cheaper alternatives?
Same question here, or any way to customize/mod the device so it can be compatible with other wireless charging devices?
I was wondering of anyone has tried a samsung galaxy charger or similar to see if they work?

I tried both Samsung original, and generic one. Both charged the Galaxy watch 4, both shows charging indication in Pixel watch, but it doesn't really charge

Cheers for that, saves me wasting money trying for myself.
That's just what is needed - more proprietary charging devices. Screw any common standards.
