Is it not possible to have a software fix for this? ;o
Can you elaborate, where is this slow charging issue raised? I'm sure it's capable of taking anywhere up to 2A on the USB port from an AC charger.
Is charge time really that much of an issue?

it was mentioned in the cnet review . check it out i hope its was just a faulty unit!
It has a 9000mAh battery, so this is unsurprising to me.
Asus 15v Power adapter!
I'm just wondering what the Voltage limit is on this device, I surely don't want a burnt battery but What if we use TF700T Adapter?
Hopefully It works with N10 and doesn't give any problems to the customer. Now only if someone can confirm it.

The slow charging is a HUGE issue for me. I like to have the screen set to full brightness when plugged in, and according to one of the reviews out there the tablet will not charge during use in this scenario (it will only maintain the current charge). Supposedly Google said that they would be releasing a better charger later -- unacceptable to include such a woeful charger at launch, IMO.
The slow charging problem is due to the micro USB connector. it is not capable to deliver more then 4-5 W, witch is enough for a phone but not for a tablet ( 10" ) that's why Samsung, asus and other tablet makers don't use it...

Yep, that's the price you pay for having a standard USB charger.
Google did say that it CAN charge faster using the pogo pins in the dock connector, so there's that.

Yes, but it is probably not included when you buy it. You have to buy it later from Google, with a 20-30$ price tag...

Yes you would think so but it has been a while since the N7 released and there is still nothing at all to use those pogo pins.They are really slow to come out with acc to support such a popular device.You can only hope they do better with the N-10 or you might be stuck with usb charging only.

A slow charge also prolongs the life of the internal battery, no? If I remember correctly, charging my phone over the AC adapter does it fast but the battery gets "worn out" quicker than charging it over the slower PC-to USB-to device charging method. Am I right?

Yeah seen the small keyboards.They are not for me but a nice dock with a charger to use the pogo pins would have been nice for the N7.Any usb or bluetooth keyboard will work fine but why put pins for charging on a device if months later there is still no use for them?Kind of like buying a BLT sandwich and hoping the bacon will come along a few months later.

You are indeed correct.
However, the effect is negligible considering the lifetime of a mobile phone these days is less than the battery's life time.
(Judging by the fact I've rarely kept a phone 6 months, let alone a year).

I use TomTom on my Touch HD with a car charger.
The first charger I used was fine but since I lost it I cannot find a charger that works properly... At first I thought I was just using faulty charger's but as I have now tried 3 different ones I am beggining to wonder if the problem is with my HD!
The funny thing is that on both the main screen and in TomTom it is showing the status as 'charging'... even the light on the top of the phone is lit to show it is charging but the battery level is still going down all the time!
The only thing I can think of is that maybe the chargers I am using now are not as powerful as the first one I used? Or are all car chargers standard?
Either that or my HD is broken!
Can anyone please help me find a solution?
Ps. The phone still charges fine through both a wall plug socket and a USB connected to a PC.
The car charger I use I bought for my old Tytn 2 (original HTC one), works great for the HD and Diamond, even when the battery was at about 20% left on the HD, TomTom 7 running, screen brightness max, the battery was almost fully charged within an 1hr.
Think it's rated at 1amp, you might want to check the power rating on yours, anything under 1amp and it's really going struggle to charge while using it.
Unfortunately its not printed on any of my chargers what amp they are... I actually thought they were all the same amp but if some are more powerful than others this could be my problem.
What does concern me however is that even when the HD is switched off it is still not charging (even though the light at the top of the phone shows it should be!)
There are plenty of tools around (HTC's battery.exe, acbpowermonitor, battlog, powerguard, etc...) that can show you charge/discharge current. If your car charger gives you less than the unit is consuming, battery will not be able to charge.

I had this problem and found it was because I was charging through the usb socket on the stereo which always worked on Polaris but not with Blackstone. If I charge from the cig lighter socket it works good.

I bought a cheap and cheerful universal usb charger from tesco's for a couple quid. Works great and no problems with power whilst running TomTom
Hi, first post here and rather than start a similar thread so soon, i thought it best to post here.
Is it possible for car chargers to over-charge the device? I bought a cheap and cheerful car charger off ebay but was a bit concerned some of them are listed as having overcharge protection and this one wasn't. Wouldn't normally be bothered but its a £550 handset!
Cheers!
I have My Tab plugged in to my PC all day while debugging on it as I develop, unfortunately the fact that the tab somehow and for some reason disables charging while debugging is causing a huge problem for my workflow.
Can anybody suggest a possible solution that will allow me to charge and debug at the same time. My boss may consider allowing me to root the device (I know it's easy, I could do it right now, but it's political) if I know it's the only option.
The power outlet of the USB port isn't enough to charge it, which is driving me nuts too.
If you root it you can use ADB wireless (free app on market) to use adb over the wifi, and have the tab plugged into the wall. Otherwise I don't know. Maybe a hub with it's own power supply **might** do it, but I'm not sure.

Thanks, I assumed it was a software check that it's connected in debug and simply disabled.

I'm still surprised it's that much of a beast that it needs more power than the USB port can supply, I mean, is it all because of the screen?
The wall charger does 2A
But the specs aren't any higher than my HTC Desire except for the screen and that only needs 1A from the charger and can charge by USB too.
I genuinely have no idea. I'm given to understand that the Tab does charge from USB, albeit slowly. As for why it needs 2A, who knows. Maybe Samsung don't like us using other chargers.

Well my Tab doesn't charge from USB unless it's switched off. If it's on, the Battery symbol has a line throgh it, as in "charging disabled".

I think you will find that even in those circumstances it is still actually charging, albeit very slowly.
I had my Tab hooked up to my PC last week and when I connected it up it was showing that it wasn't fully charged, and didn't appear to be charging. However, when I disconnected it some time later it appeared to be fully charged.
Perhaps it would be worthwhile downloading JuicePlotter to see what affect, it any, connecting the Tab to your USB port has.

It's not the specs of the device, it's the size and resistance of the battery. It charges slowly over USB, and it charges a much smaller percentage of the battery's capacity than it would with a smartphone.
Easy math, it's over 3x the capacity of your Desire battery, and as you well know, even your Desire battery charges slowly over USB compared to mains.
The larger backlight should consume about twice the voltage of a 3.7" display (rough estimate), so you're barely pushing any charge at all via USB when the display is on, a trickle of a trickle.

You're right, I probably should have looked into the rating of the Battery in this thing. As an Engineer, the math is trivial.
Still, It appears to me that it's not charging at all, not even trickle, from full charge when I left for work this morning to empty before the end of an 8 hour working day with it plugged in to usb the entire time, slightly disappointing result.
Just as a matter of interest, I installed JuicePlotter and attached my Tab to my laptop and adb'd into the Tab and left it for a while. JuicePlotter definitely shows the battery charge rising, but probably only in the region of 5-10% per hour.

This power thing is annoying. I bought a 1 amp car charger USB adapter when I got my HTC Desire as running my satnav software on it otherwise depleted the battery quickly. The 1 amp charger was enough to charge the phone while running the software.
However, if I use it with my Tab, rhe battery is still running down while using the satnav software, although slowly.
If I got a 2 amp car charger adapter, would that solve the problem? Can one buy 2 amp adapters for the car? I don't reallly want to buy the way overpriced Samsung car charger, which isn't even available yet.
EDIT: OK I've found 2 amp USB car chargers are available. Will 2 amp be enough to charge the Tab while running the satnav software?

I have never seen a 2A car charger but yes, that would do the trick if you found one. I assume Samsung's will be 2A, how much is it to be "overpriced"? A 2A Samsung official car charger is probably worth about £25 I'd say.
Ok I really need your help now. My nook is suffering from PBD. The battery dies at 10 percent. In addition, the touslchscreen input gets very choppy, almost unusable at lower percentages. Also when charging and using it at the same time, the battery still drains. Im living in europe so I cant use the original wall charger, I'm using the one from my nexus s instead. Any suggestions?

Yes troll it would drain your tablet but not as much as a 3g dongle through USB. Did you even read the thread? What do you think the "purpose" is? I didn't say its ideal I said for situations where your phone is about to die from tethering and you need a little charge. Just trying to help.
Since wii're throwing out ideas, I picked up a 5000mA battery charger for $25. It was on sell, so don't expect that price. My Nexus 7 doesn't accept the charger for some reason, but my phone would charge from it. So you can tether and always be able to charge your phone. The thing I have is about the size of a MiFi thingy. LoL!! I think they're going for about $60+ now. Since my E4GT has a 1800mA battery, I technically have 3 batteries with a remainder of 1400mA. That's practically 4 batteries. LoL!! =.P
I bought something "like" this. Looks very much alike except it wasn't from China and it had a 1A and 2.1A port. And I have no idea where "solar" is even coming from. The one I have has nothing "solar" about it. LoL!!

Do solar powered battery packs like that even exist?
How are those who've got their N10 finding the charging speed? Mine arrived yesterday and has been charging very slowly, as the reviews had said.
In six hours last night on charge whilst left on standby, it charged about 20%. Is everybody else finding a similar situation?
I'm looking forwards to the pogo-pin chargers/docks being released, which will hopefully charge a bit faster! If anybody knows how to hack something together to make use of the faster charging speed on the pogo connection then please do share! :good:
Of course, you have to look at the amperage and watt of your power supply. Even among the AC powered chargers, they vary greatly, and here you are talking about charging this behemoth with a measly powered USB.

If it takes 6 hours to charge 20% on a 2amp charger than that is seriously messed up.

Not messed up, just physics. There's an awful lot of resistance in a 9000MaH battery, and a standard microUSB (or even full-sized USB) connector can't handle the amperage that a faster charge would require. Which is why most big tablets had proprietary connectors up to this point.
But guess what? Google and Samsung knew this, it's why the N10 has one too, we just don't have the cable for it yet.
Pogo charger is coming, supposed to be at least twice as fast. Don't know why it was delayed, but most likely either a certification issue, or worry about Apple suing for it being too much like a Mag Safe connector.

Are the slow speeds people are getting from the wall charger our from a pc connection?
Are you saying a powered USB hub is charging it quicker than the mains charger supplied?
Thank you
Swype'd at pace from my Galaxy S2
I don't even charge phones via normal USB on PC anymore, let alone a tab. I've found the charging time on the N10 to be ok, provided the screen is off and also if I'm downloading something it seems to slow the charging down. Other than that it's not lightning fast, sure, but I'm ok with it. And so much the better when they release the pogo charger.
charged mine over night yesterday from 10% to full wall mains, but when the screen is one it doesn't seem to charge just maintains current charge which is a bit annoying

Try turning anything that uses power off (i.e)...turn the screen brightness the lowest it will go, turn the tablet on airplane mode. Turn the sounds off.
I find that helps my phone charge faster, maybe this will help with the tablet.
Are you talking about charging via USB on a PC, or via the PSU?
Through the PC will be very slow at a maximum of 500mA, but the PSU should be able to power it? My N7 and Galaxy Tab 10.1 had 2A chargers - what does the N10 come with?
I am regretring more and more buying this. I haven't received mine yet but the amount of pixels is kind of ridiculous. I would have been happy with 1920x1200 with that beasyly hardware. Saw a review that said their battery only lasted 4 hours because of the insane power the screen sucks away.
Also the fact that this pogo charger will probably cost $50+ and it is something that should have been standard either way.
Oh Asus infinity..why must your I/O be so god awful. You were almost the perfect tablet

Yeah charging is slow, though not as bad as 20% in 6 hours! I think mine was charging faster than that even when I was using it. I think trade off is worth it though with the microUSB connector.
The iPad 3/4 is no better... Takes forever to charge

It's just a cable, the charger is already capable of 2a.

Well if the cable is only $5-$10 then that's great, however I foresee them milking that cable for all its worth . I'll see when I get mine today how I feel

Are the slow speeds people are getting from the wall charger our from a pc connection?
Are you saying a powered USB hub is charging it quicker than the mains charger supplied?
Thank you

No but it will charge at the same speed as a Mains charger and thats better than plugging into your laptop or PC

It's nice to know that we have the Pogo pins option for faster charging. It makes me feel better now going through with my decision to get N10. I am a heavy media/game consumption guy so this device is perfect for my needs.

I must say I would hate to spend an extra $55 (assumed price) for a pogo charger for a tablet I've already spent $550 (tax+ship)
