Why won't my Galaxy Tab charge through my computer?

[Homam Saad]

it charges but the Battery level doesn't change, unless you disconnect the battery . i have a Samsung phone and tab 3 , when connected to a pc usb port even if you don't turn it off , it keep charging, but the percentage doesn't synchronize , just turn it off then take off the Battery , put it back , switch the phone on , you'll get the real charging value , not practical for a tab , better use the one you plug to the wall

skill thank you!! i want to flash my boys tab3 tablets and in the process i was wondering if my USB ports were bad or not seeing the red x on the battery... thankfully there not as it's a Samsung tablet issue. I've only sat at my PC for 5 minutes up to this point, found your video and followed it. since writing a reply my battery has gone up 2% thank you!!

your galaxy tab s2 is, in fact, charging.
it is a trickle charge, so the tab reports "no charge".
try it. as long as your power usage is not too intensive, the trickle charge still charges the battery.
good luck!

Okay so the answer is very simple your laptop does not recognize the tablet most likely so turn off your tablet and connect it again with my laptop i did this just now since i was looking for a forum with an answer but found none and it worked cheers and God bless.

I keep trying to charge my galaxy tab through my computer because connecting it to an outlet means I can't use it while it's charging since the cord is so short. However, everytime I plug it into the computer to charge it just shows USB connection and a red inside the battery.

I even bought an extra charging/data cable from samsung and it specifically states on the box that it charges the tablet via USB connection.
Can someone please let me know what I'm doing wrong?
I'd appreciate the help.

I was able to charge mine with my Lenovo laptop for a few days then it decided to stop charging. After reading the comments I turned it off and it started charging.
