[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniket.tiwari27:
Facing the same issue from past two days. When I plug in the chager in the morning, the tab does not charge. But after I restart the tab it starts charging. Yest the batt was at 5% and today it was 24% when I wanted to charge in the morning.

Tried different power points at home but none seem to work untill the tab is restarted. Am using the original Samsung charger which was supplied with the tab.

Have been using the tab from past 2 months but this issue has cropped up only recently.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
I'm not the only one!! I noticed it a few days ago. It was like 15% left. went to plug and next day it was 10%. I was like.huh.. wondering if it had to do with the last update? How can we tell Samsung about this? I also noticed it wont connect to a computer unless you reboot. It's like the USB port goes into deep sleep.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lakland:
It happening to me also. I call support and they told me to connect the tab to the wall outlet, hold the power button for 30 sec, disconnect, reconnect and turn on. That procedure will clear the charging system. I did that and today, happens again. They told me to test with another charger, that I am going to do today, because I have the S4 and is the same charger. Will see what happens....

If the another charger test fail, then send the device for warranty claim..

A questions for all of you? : My tablet was build on Vietnam, as per the sticker outside the box.. where yours were build?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flea77:
You can count me in on this problem too. I went through a lot of diagnostics with email support, chat support and phone support. Finally I sent mine back to Samsung for repairs, just received it back today, this evening the charging problem started again (4-5 hours on charge, stuck at 65% all that time). Called back, got a new label, put it back in the shipping box to go out tomorrow. Mine was made in Vietnam as well if that means anything.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lakland:
I am with support now to send it to them. I will mention your experience to Samsung now... I think this vietnam machines are gone bad!! damn!!
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v205:
Sounds like the issue is caused by the latest update??
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lakland:
It could.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lakland:
I received the Tab and now is working fine. They did some software fix.

Same issue

Having the same problem with my Tab 3, Best Buy shipped it to geek squad who looked at it for 5 minutes and shipped it back No Trouble found. Guess I'm going to have to ship it directly to Samsung. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riversz:
I encountered the same issue once, restarting it fixed it, haven't encountered it since. That was the second (and so far) last time I restarted the device btw, first time was for some update, I'm still not clear what that update contained btw ;)
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lakland:
Mine returns with the same problem. I spoke to Samsung again, and they, at least, need two visits to the service center in order to qualify to an exchange. I hope this second time they fixed.

A question: yours was made in vietnam?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riversz:
I don't have the box anymore, how can I check this?

Also I just accidentally turned on dev mode, fun! :P

I found the serial code, according to sndeep.info it was made in Vietnam, didn't find anything else that could specify country of origin though. Anyway, there's the answer, Vietnam!
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
I never sent it in for warranty. I feel its software issue. I noticed when the battery is low and I connect to laptop. Then I disconnected and then try charging it. It doesn't charge. I have to restart it to charge. I should send it in for warranty.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilbour:
Vietnam as well

Mine was manufactured in Vietnam as well. Used it a little on the original charge but when I charged it nothing happend. No battery light or anything. Original charger in wall and puter, other charge in wall and puter. Nothing. It's totally dead. :p
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tthoma:
I just started getting this problem maybe 2 weeks ago. Haven't changed the ROM any since initially rooting. Rebooting has so far always fixed the problem and allowed it to charge properly thereafter. Any other ideas? Don't feel like sending in for warranty repair and the fact that rebooting fixes it indicates s/w problem to me.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benchellal:
I am having the same problem too. It just started last Wednesday. My tab won't charge unless I power it off or restart. BTW, mine was made in Korea. When I do turn it off and plug it in, the power bar shows half full even though I turn it off at 10%.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zibrah3ed:
Most of the time it is your usb charger or cable that has failed. Try using a new cable with your charger. Mine typically last 6-12 months if you haven't had your tab long it's probably a hardware issue.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lakland:
Guys: mine went to service 2 times. The second time they replace the main board. Is working fine so far. If you are encountering this problem, make sure the replace hardware, this is not a software issue.

Hey guys . I have same problem any solution and fw update from Samsung. I already raise 1 request on samsung web site but nobody feedback :(((
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lakland:
If the process that I outline do not work, send it to samsung service. They replace the main board for my t310
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
interesting. I dealing with this issue for a while but never actually follow thru. How long did it take to replace?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lakland:
takes about 2 to 3 weeks, very slow. Also it went there two times, first they did a factory reset which i did my self prior to send it and that do not work. then i open a new ticket, then they transfer me to other department (the one that take care of you when the factory reset do not work ;)) AND i send it to the repair center. thats where they found out about the issue and replace the main board. since then, no problem at all. if you send it, you have to be very pushy with these guys.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
wonder if I take it to a Samsung kiosks at a best buy they would help me out. hate calling customer support. lol
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tthoma:
I've heard of people doing it via BB, but it still gets sent back to Samsung. Frankly I dread BB more than Samsung support! It only took 10 min but then I did have the prior two online tickets already.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lakland:
Good Look with that, Samsung techs at best buy only know how to sell, not to fix anything, they will give you the support line number.

thats what I was thinking. they can see the problem and know im not lying.. lol

Thats about the same thing that happened to me.. I was doing homework and i using my tablet for research and for some tunes, when it got to 4%. So i plugged it in thinking it was charging. I went to go back on and it was 3%. I was really confused so i restarted it and plugged it back in. Still, nothing. The next day i went and took it back and got a new one. I actually got 22.00 left over.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nycbjr:
I'm experiencing a similar issue (what lead me here).

I wanted to add the following additional details.

I'm attempting to revive a gtab 3 8.0 for a friend, I manually charged the battery (open the case, and used some homemade jumper cables to charge using a lipo battery conditioner.)

Pretty much the same issue, it won;t charge (or allow any usb connection) when booted into any mode other than Download mode. IN download mode it regisitrers the comm port and modem and I can do some functions like download the pit etc. but when I try and flash any firmware using heimdall it core dumps, or odin (in a virtualbox virt) it just says initializing connection.

So it seem the port/hardware is ok, or maybe not since heimdall/odin cant work with it? The device is fully enumerated, so its very werid.

hey guys same problem occurred to my t311 since a week a go and unfortunately im from iran and we dont have good Samsung support in here

is there any solution other than changing the board for this problem?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
I had this issue for quite some time. I called samsung and they didn't believe me but finally agree to look at it. But now it hasn't done it in 3 days. Wtf. Lol why them not change anything. Wonder if I should just keep it. I was trying to get a video of the issue.

edit: sending it back. the battery just jumped from 49 to 100%. that can't be right..
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehunterx:
So bad. I think this is product hardware issue so only fix by replace charger board.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjnk63629:
i found a temporary solution : connect your tablet to charger above 20 % and it will begin to respond and charge , im testing it for few days now and its working .
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
tried that.. lol. I have a video that shows 32% and it didn't start charging.. :) I once noticed it at 60ish %.. cant remember.. The tablet is currently on it way to samsung service..
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] new-noob:
hey,

1. If tab is not charging turn it off / reboot and connect to charger - should work , works on my any way :)

2. Question to you - what ROM & kernel are you running ?

- is this issue only on stock ? or custom kernel? Like I'm running stock ROM + custom kernel and have same issue for a month where tab is 4months old , very strange :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
1. yes, i know it works but it shouldn't be doing that! lol.. annoying.. plus I have a feeling that was causing my battery to give me sporadic reading. at one point it went from 49 to 100% in 2 mins. then loss 50% in 20 minutes..

2. stock rom. all stock.. never rooted this one..
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] new-noob:
--it is annoying specialy when you don't know when it might happen :) my tab goes couple of days OK and then battery percentage going crazy

But noticed that when keeping bat.level above 20% works fine (mjnk noticed that too so might be the solution) or you can try resetting bettery memory?

2. stock rom. all stock.. never rooted this one..

--Just saw your signature , wife's tab , no need to overclock etc :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
haha.. yea.. she didn't want me to root her s4 either..

Haha, my tablet just back to normal.. I think that magnetic cases is wrecking the tablets, mine was fine until I put that sht on it.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NJ_RAMS_FAN:

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
So whatever they replaced didn't work. I still get the no charge issue. Sucks. And I think I just went over the warranty.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tthoma:
Oh man, that does suck. Mine has behaved since the repair. But I think you should still have a couple weeks of wty, Tab 3 wasn't released until early July IIRC

device was working fine until kitkat.

now, there is more chance it wont charge than it will.

should i take it to service or just restart it every time i want to charge?

also, since tab was ok prior to kitkat do you think it might be an app making problems?

thanks!

My friend Rooted my phone using TWRP 2.4. I need to sed the phone back to T-Mobile and need to return it to stock but have no Idea what I need to do and all the info I find is just confusing can someone help me find the RUU I need and some instructions I can follow to return the phone to stock. Thank in advanced
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
is yours T-Mobile US?

if so, Try This RUU.
[HTC One S] imfocused:
Thanks man now I have a bigger problem because I may have Soft bricked my phone loading a JBsmooth ROM :(
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
The RUU I prescribed above will take you to stock IF your phone is from T-MO US.

Just go to bootloader then select Fastboot, connect your phone to PC and run this RUU.
[HTC One S] imfocused:
I am doing what you said but I never see the RUU even though I copied it to my phone or am I running it from my PC?
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
You have to run it from your PC, it's an executable file with an extension .exe ... so it will work on PC and not the phone
[HTC One S] imfocused:
Ok I id that but I keep getting a usb connection error even though it shows up in my computer.
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
- USB Drivers

- Plug it into USB 2.0 ports and not 3.0

- faulty cable
[HTC One S] imfocused:
Ok thanks man so I installed the USB driver and that fixed my issue but after running the RUU that you gave me I received a "Signature error" so do I need a different RUU?
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Yeah that usually means different RUU needed.

Do you know what your phone's CID is?

If you don't know, go to fastboot from bootloader on your phone.

Open a Command window and navigate to the directory where your adb+fastboot files are located and enter this command.

fastboot getvar cid

It'll help me narrow down the usable RUUs.
[HTC One S] imfocused:
It says TMOB010
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Okay then the RUU is correct.

You may have left your bootloader unlocked.

You need to relock it.

Go to Fastboot on your phone and enter this command to lock bootloader from your PC:

fastboot oem lock

Boot into fastboot again and run the RUU.exe

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This fixed y phone now I can return my phone. But I don't think I will ever root or Flash my ROM again lol. Things have changed since I was flashing ROMS.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] xxcysxx:
Hi everyone,

I recently bought a 16gb 2013 nexus 7 at Walmart, and I really love the feel and the screen clarity of the device. But it has this shutdown problem when I first remove it from the box. Like during the initial setup when I enter in the user name and email address, it turned itself off at least after each step. One after entering my name, one after entering my email address, and one after registering itself with google. After the initial setup, it then do the automatic update to 4.3 and the. It shut itself down a few time during that sessions.

Also, it shut itself down twice white I was watching some YouTube video, and about three other random times while I was casually reading a website forum, I was reading about the issue of nexus 7 random shutdown by the way.

Anyway, I immediately returned the device within that same day of purchase. Though I really like the device and would like to buy it again.

I was wondering if all 2013 nexus 7 device suffer from this random shutdown issue, or did I just got a bad unit.

Thanks all

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ingshtrom:
I have had mine since launch and have not seen this problem, although I know there was an issue of random reboots when updating apps on the play store. Obviously that isn't the same issue, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] LordLugard:
I'd say try getting one from somewhere else like BestBuy. I had a 2013 model briefly for a few days that I got from BestBuy and everything was perfect. (Only returned it not for any defect but because I got a real good deal in a 1st gen 32gb).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] michaelg1030:
I did not have random reboots during setup, but I have had them in general use of the tablet.

Not to take anything away from android, but I've had random reboots on every android device I've owned whether it be stock or with a custom ROM.

Unless you are experiencing an unusually high number of reboots, I wouldn't think anything of it.

My two HTC phones never had random reboots. Nexus 7 should not either.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] HKSpeed:
I experienced my first random reboot last night. My N7 is totally stock and I've had no problems since I got it on 7/26. I was on Facebook when the device froze for about 30 seconds, then the screen went black followed by the boot animation. I'm not concerned for now.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Deathman20:
Random shutdown is nothing to get all worried about. Heck PC's do it as well, just a lot less frequent then the days of XP and prior.

I think I had mine do it twice... but it was on a custom kernel at the time. As well maybe once on stock. Longest up time prior to a reboot on the tablet has been 13 days for me, and i rebooted it because I wanted to get off the stock kernel.

Using my n7 for a week now, 3 days with cpu /GPU overclock, zero reboots.

I would suggest factory reset may fix your device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Deathman20:
You do know that then the manufacture of the device would have to run 2 batch's of electronics, 1 for Walmart and 1 for everyone else, and give them a warranty nightmare? Unless they only sell through Walmart then I seriously doubt they do that. Would cost to much for the manufacture.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Coronado is dead:
There are actual documented cases of this, but it's almost always TVs and they slightly change the model number. Usually it's for Black Friday sales lol. Same panel but fewer HDMI ports, stuff like that.
