Happened to my charger because it would always be seating on it and stuff. Just been using the usb charger instead.
Just test with the usb one to see if it is the wall charger's problem.

My N7 only charges while off?

Anyone else ever have this issue? Wondering if its a bug in the newer roms or if its just something with my device? Ive requested an RMA with Asus, but I was curious to see if anyone else had this issue. Tablet charges only when off. Ive made certain I am using the correct cord/power supply that camw with it and have also done factory reset. Im running the latest build of Paranoid Android.

I also can not connect it via USB to my computer to be able to return it to stock and lock boot loader. I think I am in for it guys. Anyone help?

It's also written in manual that nexus 7 only charges while being turned off. This means charging from anywhere else than outlet. It's because computer USB port doesn't have enough power to charge the tablet while it's being used.

I'm not trying to charge it though. I just want to return it to stock conditions to RMA to Asus. It doesn't get recognized when I plug it in via USB port. I've tried all manner of USB cables, including the one that came with the device. I feel as though I am royally screwed on this one, unless someone knows of a way to unroot/lock the bootloader without needing to connect my tablet to a USB port?
Well...anyone know how much Asus charges for a rooted/unlocked Nexus 7 to be worked on? :[

Hi,
Are you sure it's not the cable that is causing the problem? Does the device uses the whole current when charging from the factory wall charger? It's either this or your Powerbank doesn't give you the proper current.

using the cable on a wall chargee gives me 1200mAh average
1900mAh maximum
so i don't think it's an issue.
furthermore, I am able to chage an iPad using the same powerbank and it charges nicely.
i was just thinking i saw something in before where it changes the current from USB.
well thanks anyway. i guess i'll have to replace ny powerbank

May be silly to ask - can I use quick chargers?

I know Qualcomm quick charging isn't supported but any harm in using the chargers. I don't expect it to be any quicker than a regular charger but I just want to be able to charge at work while I'm waiting on getting another charger

You can use QuickCharge charges for any phone, even if it doesn't support QuickCharge, it will just charge at the normal rate.

OK thanks! I forgot that I also have to get cables. The other included cable is way too short

yea.. wear and tear condition.. try replacing the USB cable (high quality).. and test it again with USB volt meter...

I've had both the adapter and the cable go bad, so you'll have to check both.

What do u meant by 'go bad' ? Do the refused to charge or charge at a very slow rate?
Sent from my SM-N910F using XDA-Developers mobile app

One adapter that would not charge at all, two cables that stopped doing fast charge but would still slow charge.

See after using galaxy charging current app.
