I've tried several wall sockets this weekend, and it seem to work randomly and very very slowly at 80% after 8 hours. Does that mean I should buy a new charger now? I'm just afraid that this problem continues and I waste money on the new charger.

You can always download the 4.0.4 image from SamMobile & flash back using Odin. It solved my slow charging problem.
Normal charging on ICS. Let it auto update to Jellybean & now it charges in around 3-4 hours.

I did exactly this, and the issue is still present. I even stayed at ICS for a while to verify it was charging normally, so I let it update to 4.1.2 and after that, Boom 12 hours of charge time...

This is irritating...

Sounds silly, but have you tried a different charger or cable?

in fact, I haven´t. I don´t have another charger at hand though =S I guess I´ll have to swap with a friend of mine, just for the sake of testing...

Interestingly, Last night i plugged in mine while turned off and it charged at a decent rate. I´ll try turned on to see what happens.

Yeah, I know it is random. If your Note isn't too old, you can open a support ticket with Samsung. I had a rma setup , but as a last minute effort I restored back to 4.0.4 & let it update to 4.1.2 again & my charging was resolved. But Samsung was willing to take it back for rma.

I tried looking in the samsung webpage but I couldn´t find the place to submit a ticket. Would have a link handy?

Will try because from last night mine only charge while its off and @ 1% in 12 minutes...
And no connectivity with PC or KIES not even in download mode..

are you saying you cant connect it to a pc? is it not recognised?
Same thing here but in addition it doesn't charge at all. I have to use apple's charger + samsung cable. Rate about 1% per 15min on iphones one. Gonna ask a friend to borrow an iPad one...

thanks. well so far im using my original cable and adapter that came along with the tablet.

i just don't understand why I should go to another outlet to charge my tablet. when it used to be charging so well. and i only charged my phones/gadgets in one place all the time.

obviously samsung needs to address this. i guess them launching so many gadgets in a year, it's hard now to give after sales service to each one of it.

You can give it a try .... some said change the cable , change power outlet , you may try another adapter , some said connect and disconnect 4-5 times quickly from the adapter .... all these wont hurt and i recommend trying another cable or the charger adapter of another working tablet

    My note 10.1 is with something rom jb4.1.1
    Fewdays ago, I found that my note 10.1 charging speed becomes extremely slow. For example, I wentbed with 50% left , and after 7 hours of sleeping, after I woke up, it was only 88%
    This never happens in the past, and only start in this few days
    Any help?:(
    Sry for my badenglish

    Are you using the original cable? I had the same problem with a 3m no-name cable I bought off ebay.

    Took mine to Samsung and they said it's normal. They said an S3 take 4 hours and seeing this battery is 3 times the size, it takes 12.

    I picked up my tablet and walked out. Stupid uninformed staff with no idea.

    I'm selling it today and wait for something not Samsung.

    i have same problem here, i bought my note 10.1 GT N8000 2nd hand (2014) and it is already on JB. at first it slow charging almost 12 hour to fully charge. but after that its getting normal at about 4 -5 hour to fully charge.

    in about 3 month ago it become ridiculously slow to charge, its take 3 days to fully charge and just can live 6 hour if i use to browse. i have samsung galaxy s 5 and have same problem too and i install " galaxy current charge " from playstore to check my current charge. it is different current if you try different wall socket, already try it. the apps show that on my galaxy s 5 says current 750mA at office, 450mA at computer, 1200mA at home. its faster to charge my galaxy s 5 at home. but on my galaxy note 10.1 says current -minus when i charge and use it so the battery will keep droping, and if im not use the note it say its randomly changing in 102 - 602mA, i think thats way its become slow to fully charge 7000mAH its 3 time capacity with half current. im charge use the original charger.
    note 7000mAH at 102mA will fully charge in 70 H, at 602mA will fully charge in 11.30 H if i not use it. i dont know yet what factor that makes my current not stable in my note (randomly beetwen 102 - 602mA).
    s 5 2800mAH at 1200mA will fully charge in 2.15H, at 750mA will fully charge in almost 4H, at 450mA will fully charge in 6.2H

    i wonder if it self defense to prevent hot or something. i try to charge my note with my s 5 charger and it show red cross in battery indicator, i know it is because of Ampere of my s 5 charger is 0.7A. im not try different cable or different charger yet.

    im not sure if i do factory reset or install ICS will solve the problem, and i plan to try different cable first.
    Problem with Connector/Cable....if not charger.
    My original cable did that problem too & now I'm using a micro USB to Samsung 30 Pin converter + Note 4 cable to charge.
    It takes only ~4 - 5 hours from 0% to 100%
    ....and if you buy 2nd hand N8000, it's better for you to replace the battery with a new one.
