[AC Question]

why does my 10.1 tab 3 show to be charging when not hooked up to a charger?

Almost new unit and it shows the % of battery and charging with the icon on the main screen. Sent it in to samsung and now they say nothing is wrong. Also battery charger OEM is extremely hot when charging. Any ideas?

Welcome to Android Central! Check the microUSB port and make sure there isn't any debris in there. It might be causing the port to malfunction, and lead to inefficient charging (and therefore overheating of the charging plug).
