Sm-t510 Charger

Samsungchargers and headphones are no longer included in the box when you purchase a new phone. This is an initiative designed to reduce waste and encourage reuse. Instead, you can continue to use a Samsung charger purchased with a recent Samsung phone model. If you have an older phone the charger type may differ.

The correct charging cable for your device is normally included in the box, but if you are in need of a new one, find your model in the list further down this page to see what kind you need, then purchase a replacement. If you need additional cables, power adapters, batteries, or replacements, only use Samsung charging devices and batteries.

Micro USB cables have been used for a long time with multiple devices. The cable's head is not symmetrical. One side has ridges while the other is flat so you have to make sure to insert it into your phone's USB port the correct way or it could damage the inside of your phone or tablet.

Your phone or tablet is powered by a standard rechargeable Li-ion battery. To get the most out of your device, use the Adaptive Fast Charger and USB-C cable that came in the box. This charger has a power supply of 5.0V/2.0A and has SAMSUNG printed on it.

Samsung accessories are designed to maximise battery life. Samsung does not recommend using any chargers other than Samsung chargers, especially chargers that are uncertified or counterfeit. These can hinder the charging of your device and may cause battery issues if used long term. Find out how to spot counterfeit accessories.

Most Samsung chargers can be used abroad. However, you should check the charger to make sure it's compatible. The words "TRAVEL ADAPTER" and an input voltage of 100-240 V will be printed on Samsung chargers. If your charger has these features, then typically only a plug adapter is required when travelling internationally. These can be purchased from many electronics retailers.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 comes with a special charger which (I'm assuming) provides a higher current output than the USB standard. Without it, the device can actually die, even if the USB cord is plugged in to a USB port (albeit a little less quickly).

I'm looking for other (cheaper) AC and car adapters, but I don't know the minimum power they need to provide to power the device. Does anyone know the minimum current needed for a 5V USB connection for the Galaxy Tab 10.1, or perhaps a link that provides this information?

That thread led me to this slashdot comment which seems very useful and knowledgeable. If I understand the story correctly, unless the tablet can negotiate with the host device, the amount of power it can draw is limited. A physical "hack" (now part of a USB standard) in the adapter can make it clear to the USB client (the tablet) that there is no host device (its a wall wart), so it can charge faster. Without the hack, the device is limited in the amperage it can use.

I just verified some of this with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the no-name 2A USB wall charger I have. If I plug my tablet into this "unapproved" USB adapter, then I get a little red "x" on the battery charge indicator in the system tray. Additionally, I get the "media scanner running..." alert (which I think means that the Tablet thinks it might be connected to a computer). I cannot tell at what rate (2.5mA, 500mA, 2A, etc) the tablet is actually charging at, though.

All that said, in practice, I've found that the tablet will charge up on my no-name USB adapter. I'm not sure if that's because I tend to turn the screen off (and I don't have 3G), and thus the power draw of the sleeping tablet is less than the 500mA, or if its actually getting the full 2A.

I think the upshot is that any reputable wall charger or anything labeled as "compatible" with an iPhone or iPad will probably support the USB charging spec, and thus will fast-charge a Samsung Galaxy Tab. But I'm just guessing. It would be nice if there was an official USB logo or label for chargers that supported this mode ...

In order to use the 2A, the tablet needs to recognize the charger as a charger and not a computer's USB port. The tablet is not allowed to draw more than 0.5A from a USB port. So if the tablet thinks it is connected to a real USB port, it will display a red cross on the battery and charge slowly at best.

I tested this on a P7510. It probably works also with other Samsung devices. Note that if you use this to charge your tablet from a PC there could be a risk of frying your USB port. And of course, it blocks all data transfer.

The tablet charging current is proportional to the voltage that the power adapter can supply. If the charger has a lower than average voltage output, the tablet takes less charging current. A 6 foot USB cable can drop half a volt or more when the tablet is charging at a high rate. So, if you use a long USB cable, the tablet also drops to a lower charging current. I saw another post that said that that tablets can't charge if the voltage into them is less than 4.5V, so half a volt is a big deal.

USB 2.0 Switches are rated to deliver only 0.5A, as are the USB sockets on most desktop computers. If you plug in your tablet to these, they will only draw 0.5A. If you're watching video, surfing or gaming, the tablets can easily draw twice this amount, which means they will be taking half their power from the battery. USB 3.0 switches might be able to supply more.

Couple weeks ago my galaxy tab 10.1's power is 1%, then i shut it down. After that i charged my tab and left it a couple of minutes, but when i see the charging bar it dosent gain power. it keeps going back n fort for hours but still it didnt fill up to the middle. After that this happend link: =2fW48hGB7...

My tablet screen is black. I can't tell if it's charging and I don' really have a computer to plug it into, I know the cord is all good, plug good... Did the volume button trick, nothing. Took the back off but very leary of taking the battery out, looks like it's taped in. Galaxy tab pro 10.1

I don't know about the pro. But use tweezers to GENTLY peel back the tape starting at a corner. It shouldn't be too hard to remove and I bet the battery is screwed in place. Also try searching the site for a tear down that might help you see how the battery comes out. Or search your model number along with "battery removal" using your favorite search engine.

"generate the answer"? I thought iFixit was a portal to people who like to fix things and also share the knowledge and experiences voluntarily, - not a maintenance/consultant service working 24/7 to solve everthing for free...

I have no idea if this is the correct place to ask a question but I'm at my wits end.. A few weeks ago my tablet fell below 10% for the first time in the 2yrs iv had my Samsung tab4 10.1 and it cut off completely so I done the suggested soft reset..

and new charging port and battery with expensive genuine Samsung replacements.. prayed to the heavens I would turn it on and all would be ok.. but... NO! exactly the same!! there isn't anything on my tablet it's used to watch my programmes on show box etc.. please some one help! any advice I'd be grateful for..

Mine was doing the same so I grabbed a thin knife and pushed the usb port in to make it more secure then plugged it into my computer went back a few hours later so turned it on and wow its up to 65% and its charging still hope this helps you it worked for me a few seconds and its working

Just push the usb charging port together to tighten the port where the usb goes in but be gentle then plug it into your pc and leave it for a hour or so go back to it turn it on and it will be charging mines nearly fully charged it works awesome I did this for my galaxy s6 because the charging port was loose and it worked fine so I did the same procedure to my tablet hope this works for you as it worked for me

Cleaning charge hole on tablet or scraping charge pins of the cable is one way to get the charge working. However the issue is that adaptors do have life. When the original adaptor goes bad, it drains the note while on charge ! To test this out, use a USB cable to charge the mobile using a laptop. It would take a while but will reach 100%.

So with all the Chargers I have my tablet doesn't charge I don't know if it's my tablet that has a problem that doesn't let the Chargers charge Sprint desperate I need a charger that works right now because most of the time I don't let my tablet go below 80 and it's gone below 80 and I'm losing my mind???????????
