Why is there a red "x" and lightening bolt on the battery icon of my Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus tablet? How do I fix this? Thanks. It also says that it is charging even when not&#xFEFF; plugged into adapter. When I am about to shut down the tablet it shows big...

The Red "X" and lightening bolt usually means either an incompatible charger, or the battery has gone bad. Change chargers first. If this does not fix your issue, and your tablet is still under warranty, you may want to contact Samsung about the issue. If it is not, your best bet may be to replace it. If it is currently working, just not charging properly, try and back up everything you can. Plug it into a USB port on your computer and see if it recognizes it as charging, or at least a transfer device.

Thank you for your purchase. Does the Tab 7" uses a different cable? Did you try both ports? The difference in cable may be preventing the charger from transferring power to the Tab. Please try to update your Tab 7" to latest firmware see if that'd help.

I got this for both our 10 inch and 7 inch tablets, and up to now it is working well on both. I must have the correct one, I have never seen the exclamation point over the battery indicator.

I gave this tablet to my god-daughter, and the same thing happened to her. I bought a new wall power adaptor, but that didn't solve the problem either. Sorry, can't help. Next purchase will be a different, higher quality brand.

A month old purchase from where? Please be specific as for if it is brand new out of the manufacturer's box or refurbished? You might be able to find your own answer here- otherwise I will be interested to assist you further for some other quirky acts Andriod tablets love to put on to show love for you. Also try to put on the charger in a firm position on both ends, then wait for some charging indicator and press/hold power button for 2 seconds+ might also spark up that guy for you. Best of Luck-!

what you should do is,,1. un-plug it and reboot ur tablet,,2. turned the power off,,wwait about 5mins ,, 3. power up ur tablet ,,if not fully charge ,,4, plug the charge in ,,and see the indicator ,,should show charging sign,,5. if it doesn't it mean ur charging port is defected !! 6. the charging port is very sensitive ,,by forcing and wiggling it a lot ,,you may have damage the charging port ,,

On mind there is a red LED that glows whenever it is connected to the charger. Unfortunately, the red LED never turns off or changes color to indicate it is fully charged. Does yours behave the same way?

Hello! From what I could tell, the light is red when charging. Once charged, the red light goes off.

Sadly I have had the same issue and am replacing the tablet. Not a happy camper. The charging options on this tablet are awful, it's pretty much orphaned as a product -- I gave up.

Return it, I had the same problem with this tablet....turned it on once, set it up, let the battery run down, charged it overnight and then when I went to turn it back on it wouldn't turn on. I did notice that the little light that indicates charging next to the screen would turn green when I turned it on and if I were to turn it off it would turn red. This indicated to me that it was charging but something was wrong with the screen or a connection somewhere. I know it's frustrating but I would just return it and get a refund and purchase a different one! Good luck!!

My unit came with a cord that plugs into the keyboard on the right side just below the on/off switch. The other side of the cord is a USB, which I plug into an adapter that I already owned (came with my tablet). The adapter plugs into a wall socket. While the unit is charging, a red light comes on under the word "charge" at the top right of the keyboard. Once charged completely, this light turns off.

I have been using the charger for my phone and charging via the USB. I believe the issue with my tablet not charging was actually something that occurred internally and that it was not the wall charger.

I just had an issue with mine not charging. It got to zero and when I rebooted with it plug into the USB charger, I could see the little lighting bolt on the battery indicating it was trying to charge, but it shut off because of low batter. Kind of a Catch-22. I tried this cycle a few times and was fed up, so I decided to unplug it and let it 'die down' for half a day. Then I plugged it back in and the screen showed me that it was charging! I let it charge up for a few hours and it started up and continued to charge. If you are having charging issues, try letting it run out and "die", then plug it in. Worked for me, YMMV. I just had an issue with mine not charging.

I am not sure what that kind is. I bought this because the map charging was what my 7 inch tablet required. I do not know why but it only worked a week. I was very disapointed. I am not sure if the fault was this product or the tablet itself because I had only had the product 3 months when the charger that came with it stopped working.

Some chargers do this from time to time. I find that I get a better charge on my phone or tablet. In this case this charger is for your tablet. So the reason it does this is because it's not programmed to charge while your tablet is on. At least this is what I was told about my charger. So maybe get a new one or just use it and turn it off to charge.

Check your charger cause it could be its not a strong enough cord for the surge and also turn your tablet completely off when charging. This to may help. And don't use another type of charger to charge your tablet cause it may widen the outlet.
