Why does my battery say it's Discharging?

**Floridadomer** · 07-11-2011, 10:35 AM

So no matter where I plug in my Tablet, the battery Icon has an "X" on it and the pull down menu says discharging since......

I rebooted it and still the same issue. I have no idea how to trouble shoot this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Did the behavior start just out of the blue or did you install an update (Gingerbread?), install new apps, update existing apps or otherwise mod the unit recently? This could give you a clue where to start.

You may just want to restore using heimdall and start over again. Or maybe a factory reset. I know that's a pain in the @ss but it may be worth it. You can nandroid. Factory reset,then advanced restore your data to see if that works.

I did a factory reset and still getting the red X over the battery and it says discharging but it is actually charging.....SLOWLY.
I must confess I did not get the Gingerbread update OTA from Sprint but downloaded it from a link I saw here in the forums.
Everything else seems to be Hunky Dorey so I am not going to sweat it.
Thanks for all of your help!

I have a AT&T GST and it does the same thing unless I plug it into the Samsung supplied charger w/ the real Samsung cable. If I use another cable (bought some cheap ones off buy.com) then I get the battery w/ the X but it is charging very slowly. Even if I use a USB extension cable from the wall adapter to the real Samsung cable it is slow. On the provided charger it's no speed demon in the charging department, but it is a fairly large battery. BTW, the cheap cables I bought at buy.com are only good for the trickle charge. Trying to transfer data just gets my computer really pissed off.

Did you ever figure this out? My Sprint Galaxy Tab just started doing this a couple days ago. I'm on Gingerbread, but it didn't happen right after the update (which was the OTA from Sprint). I am using the correct-came-in-the-box USB cable, but not the Samsung power->usb adapter. This is actually the configuration I've used since D1 with this device and it was never a problem until last week. This is very strange.

I had the same problem then I updated it and it worked,it seemed the second I plugged it into the computer it did that I will never attach it to the computer again
