Hi, I charge my samsung tablet, may or may not use it. the battery icon does not show correctly. some times it says that "charge the battery" but i leave it aside and after for example one hour i check the tablet and the battery shows full. this may happen a lot of time. when the battery icon is ok, I have tried and used it for 2 to 3 hours or more. I did the factory reset and the problem still exists. when I cheked the battery usage at the setting, I noticed that even if i dont use the tablet it show 30 to 40 percentage of screen usage, and when i refresh it is still the same. what i understood is that tablet cannot recognize the battery usage and that is why the tablet sometimes show full charged and sometimes discharged icon. i'd be very pleased if anyone can help me. TNX

You should return the device. It sounds like a problem with the hardware or the software. A good many rooted versions of android exp. these same problems also.

Hello Sir !! I am afraid to tell that your battery might be got damaged by over charging.Electronic devices must be unplugged when the icon comes "Battery is Full" or like wise.Over charging damages the efficiency and produces extra heat that reduces the strength of charged battery.I suggest you to unplug the tab as soon as it got charged.It might increase your battery timings. If this information was helpful please rate or token of appreciation will be esteemed.

Hi,

Good day. I''m afraid you might have accidentally got the Operating System of your Samsung Tab corrupted. Im referring to your firmware. Usually if the firmware upgrade failed you need to retry it until it be successful. If you restart it or discontinue the process it will cause your Samsung Tab to be corrupted resulting into failure of the boot up process. You might need to contact samsung tech support for this or bring your equipment to the nearest center. They might need to check the software install and usually their software specialist will fix it for you. Sorry for what happen with your tab but i know the samsung repair center can fix it for you. Hope this information will be helpful to you. Have a great day.

You can damage the battery but it is very rare to actually do that. What you need to do is plug it in to the wall charger and leave it alone over night. At that point it should be just fine. it will actually start to show some signs of life after a few hours but don't be tempted to do anything wih it. it will first show a charge light or something after maybe 40 minutes if it is a faster charger.
If it shows no life the next day then you can try charging again but at this point you may hae a problem that requires either a battery replacement or warrenty. The battery has a microcontroller on it and when the battey gets real low they do not behave that well and typically you get the stone dead brick behaviour. And most people do not let it charge long enough to get it working. It is possible that there are other problems but those are usually moore serious and require replacement of the unit. The battery can be replaced but requires the etire case to be disassembled.
So charge it then check your warrenty and it may need serious repairs or to be replaced. If it is out of warrenty then you need to be careful on the cost verses replaceemn
