Why does my Samsung 10.1 say 'discharging' when using this charger?

If you are connecting the usb cable to a computer or 12 volt plug, it will only charge when the tablet is powered off.

Mine is the same way. It seems this is a weak point in the charger's design.

The charger doesn't make a sound, instead a green light turns on to indicate charging. Also my S4 makes the normal charging noise to confirm its charging and gives my a notification that is charging.

It blinks when it's charging and stops blinking when it's fully charged on mine.

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.

The same thing happened to mine. I had my phone charger and tablet charger plugged into a power strip at the same time. My phone charged popped its fuse and apparently blew my tablet charger fuse as well. I wasn't sure at the time what the problem was. I ordered a new tablet and phone charger. They are both charging my devices again. Problem solved.

I never experienced that before. When plugged in and charging my phone still work the same.

There wasn't any problems with it when I sent it out. Have you tried another charger?

I do not think so, at least mine does not do it.. You must likely got a defective unit; just return it and get a new one, it is worth the effort because it is a good charger. Good luck

Mine is doing the same thing. Right out of the box. Not sure if it's the charger, the battery or the charge port. Neither USB nor the main adapter charge it at all.

Not sure I use the charger it came with and the Samsung charger and no problems so far.

I have the same issue. Not sure what is going on. Tried full charge with no load. Only time I would have 100 percent is when the charger is hooked up.

I have been using the charger for a while now with no problems. My phone is up to date.

I've had this happen occasionally with mine, particularly as the battery has gotten older. It seems to happen only after it has been plugged in for a long time. Unplugging it and letting it sit seems to clear it. If I don't leave it plugged into the charger for more than a day, I don't see the problem. If your's always does it, I think the battery may be getting sick, or the charging circuit is defective.

if the green light is lit, the charger believes it is charging. Not sure why it isn't working, but the phone should show it is charging. Make sure the case isn't too thick and that it isn't metallic. Good luck

After plugging your device in you need to press the button on the face of the charger. If that doesn't work it is probably defective

I believe the grey cable has two pins shorted together. This "tells" some phones that the phone is connected to a high current charger. Some phones will draw more current and charge quicker if they think they are connected to a high current charger. You want to consider both the charger and the device being charged.Different devices respond differently. I have a portable GPS which will not charge at all if it doesn't have the right cable.
