I do not know what is happening with your Tab but I called customer support with an issue a few months ago and got great help. I suggest you call Samsung

The Red "X" and lightening bolt usually means either an incompatible charger, or the battery has gone bad. Change chargers first. If this does not fix your issue, and your tablet is still under warranty, you may want to contact Samsung about the issue. If it is not, your best bet may be to replace it. If it is currently working, just not charging properly, try and back up everything you can. Plug it into a USB port on your computer and see if it recognizes it as charging, or at least a transfer device.

When you see one or more flashing it means it's still charging. Once all of the LED indicators are constant it means it's done charging completely.

Mine has a red light that comes on and stays on while charging. I will update when it's done charging to let you know what it does. OK, after charging the red light went off. At that point I disconnected from the charger and reconnected it, the light came on for a second and went right back off so it looks like you're fully charged. Hope this helps and enjoy!!

only a guess since I had purchased this for my nephew not myself. but I would think it means to tell you it's charging and probably will change to a solid color when done charging.

I just got 2 of these on sale including all the adapters. I charge the Stick with wall charger that's included because it charges in about 30 minutes. There's a Red light that comes on when the Stick itself is charging. The light does go out when the stick is fully charged. Then when you plug the Stick into your Phone/other device there's a Blue light that indicates it's charging your Phone/device. When your Phone/device is fully charged the blue light goes out. I'm not quite sure yet what they're referring to when they say there's an LED battery level indicator, unless they're referring to the little "battery icon" that shows up on the ipone that tells you how much power is left in your phone. It charged my iphone very quickly too. Both are pretty new, so I'm hoping these quick charges continue for awhile. There's nothing in the tiny bit of instructions that indicates the stick can be overcharged, so I'm also hoping that since the lights go out when charges are "full" that nothing will overcharge. It's also nice to have the extra Wall Charger (with a USB port) to use with multiple devices, since practically everything for iphones are sold separately, i.e. the extra Lightning-USB cable does not come with the plug in wall charger. Wall chargers always charge all devices faster than charging from a USB port on your computer laptop. I like "Quick" !!

From my observation, when the red light flickers (instead of steady) when motion is detected, it is an indicator of low battery. Best to charge it via the USB.

It means the battery is already charged. When the battery is charging, the light is red.

When the light disappears, the keyboard is fully charged. If it's red, that means it's charging.

When charging, the red light only turns off automatically (and the device stops charging) if the switch on the side is off as well. If you only turn off the top button, it'll keep trying to charge. Don't wait for an amber light indicating that the battery is fully charged... I find that to be misleading... at least it has never happened to me.

It does have the power rating to run and charge a galaxy tab2...you will see the full power lightning symbol over the battery indicator meaning full charging even during use..some other chargers may not be powerfull enough

When you first plug it in, the charging symbol should show up on the screen. If it doesn't, use the AC adaptor. If that doesn't work, you may have a bad battery, or a problem with the unit itself.

It means the device's charge is low. Plug it into a charger. It chargers very fast. When the red light turns blue, it is fully charged

I have the 7.0 and no. It doesn't keep a charge. I plug it in a socket and a "X" on the battery icon appeared.

I bought this for my graphics tablet battery. If the battery is charging the light will come on. It will be red when they battery isn't charged, then turns blue once its finished. It should light up once the connection is made whether it is plugged into the wall or not. That is how you can test to see if it will work for that particular battery.

If I understand your question your mini port(the small receptical at bottom of device-Female_) is not a great fit and you are concerned it may not charge ?if thats what your asking you can check by looking at top right for a tiny image of a battery with a lightning bolt through it -if you see the lightning its charging.another way is to plug in go settings>Batterry and it will tell you in the top left corner if its charging or not.All these cables are not the same some fit better than others .

Thank you for your purchase. Does the Tab 7" uses a different cable? Did you try both ports? The difference in cable may be preventing the charger from transferring power to the Tab. Please try to update your Tab 7" to latest firmware see if that'd help.

Your phone will show that it's charging... Ex: when my iPhone is plugged into it, the battery icon on my iPhone shows the lightning volt icon.
