I encounted a similar issue with the P605’s and N8000 models i do alot of for a company here. Samsung havent released a firmware update for v3.3 since 10th August 2015. Then on 9th September they brought out v5.1.1 and then 26th September they ditched v5.1.1 and brought out v4.1.1 (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/datab…) Since then we’ve had numerous tablets come in with charging problems very similar to what your having, which we were able to solve by either using the original BLACK charger ( the white ones dont work ), or modifying a cheap usb ammetre and replicating the resistance on the data pins to what the black charger has, then charging the tablet off that. (tricks the tablet into thinking your using an original black charger) other then that. .. buy a new tablet, cos you cant buy those black chargers anywhere anymore. Samsung has discontinued them. Nobody at samsung seems to have any ideas about this, ive spoken to numerous people who ‘should’ know, but they just say to use the new ‘white’ power supplys, which don’t work. Find the original black power supply, or modify a usb ammeter, or buy a new tablet! Kinds regards, Ben
Hi. Francois here I dug up my very old black Samsung charger and it did the trick for me. Thanks for the assistance
Get a new charger or Go to a service center and replace the charging panel
Personally, I see the port as a huge design flaw! The USB charging cable plugs into a shallow port and any movement creates slack or shifting, reducing the firm (original) hold. A deeper port or even a wireless charging unit would be optimum because playing games drains the battery and requirement tethered to an electrical outlet and a 6 foot cord…not fun!
I had a charging problem with my Samsung Note 2014 edition. It started taking about 2-3 days to charge and discharged in about 20 minutes before the fix. Now it charges fully in less than 2 hours and lasts about 8 with heavy usage. I am not a professional repair person, but I noticed when I took the back off of the tablet that the ribbon cable was loose. I removed the back to get the numbers off the battery because I assumed my battery was bad and I was going to get a replacement. The ribbon that I am referring to is the wide one that comes from the charging port and across the back of the battery and into the motherboard using a flip bar type connector. I thought it wouldn’t harm the tablet to try to make the connection tighter. So I raised the flip bar and pushed the ribbon in further. Replaced the cover and it charged quickly. A couple of weeks later I ran into the same charging problem. When I removed the back, the ribbon cable was loose again. I decided to hot glue it into place (avoiding the circuitry of the motherboard). It’s been fine for a few months now. P.S. My tablet came with the white 2.0A charger. It worked fine initially, and it works fine now that I fixed the cable.
Hi, I have the problem too, can any one send a photo for original BLACK charger ? because there is lots samsung BLACK charger? Thanks
Put something under the charger (small) and it will need to be a paper clip like this
and it will charge.
