Seriously, that charging rate is not normal even for usb and the tablet turned on. You may want to return it. Was the screen on?

The screen was off. I'm going to try another wall adapter. I have a Belkin, which is pretty good. It was said to be the fastest charger for the iPad, beating the OEM adapter. Until now, I have never charged my tablet with anything other than the stock adapter.

The charger is inside the N10. What your referring to is a power supply only. I've used the PS from my Dell Streak 7 with no change.

True, but the power supply has to be capable of supplying the 2A the tablet can use. Anything less will reduce the charge rate.

I just go the app you recommended from the market. It shows that the battery is discharging with the POGO adapter installed and the screen on. The first attachment is with the micro USB port the second is with the POGO adapter.

That doesn't look like Battery Monitor Widget from 3C that I use. If the PS works from the micro-USB port, it should work from the POGO port. Either your POGO cord is bad or the port.

That's the stock charger? It should say that AC is plugged, not USB, when you're using the POGO cable.

When I plug my Nexus 10 into an iPad port with a micro USB cable, it detects as AC. When I plug the POGO cable into the same iPad charge port, it detects as USB and is limited to 500mA. You need to use a non-Apple charger... Like the one that came with the tablet.

It's Android Tuner by 3C. Which has BMW bundled with some other apps.

Yes, it's the stock charger.

Okay, I see. I put it into one minute interval and watch the history if I want to look closely.

That's strange like it detects more pins yet they say that the POGO cord can't be used to transfer data.

Wow! Had mine charging in sleep mode which I never tried before and it showed a charging rate of 1873ma. Plugged in my PC and it still shows it as charging but BMW shows a discharge of 800-900ma. This charging circuit if easily fooled.

Here is from 18% to 100%. Confirmed on the history view that's about 21%/hr during the first phase of charging.

I assume this was with the Pogo cable?

Glad you posted this as I was going to ask somebody if their N10 charged to over 4.3V which is considered to be over the max battery voltage limit of a Li-Ion cell. In what state was your device for that screen?

Correct.

It was sitting on a table charging, until I woke up and removed the POGO cable. It was powered on, but in sleep mode.

Yeah, I guessed that. I discovered that while on AC power in full use, it seems to charge at a higher rate going right past the 4.2V mark without dropping the rate like it misses that stage but "maybe" not all the time but most of the time. Charging while in sleep mode the rate does drop at the 4.2V mark. If your on AC power, reach 100%, after a period of time it will stop charging. At that same period of time, if put to sleep and awakened, it'll stop charging. A reboot, it will stop charging too. This might be a battery safety feature because it's over 4.3V at that time.

I thought that I may have a hardware issue till I saw your screen capture.

Coming up on 3 weeks now and my tracking still says 'we have received notice your package is being shipped by the retailer'. No other updates. Looks like mine is lost somewhere in the world. Sadly I ordered a week before they went live in the US.

Sent them an email in hopes they can send me one from CA...let's hope my $25 didn't just get burnt

I've been tracking mine on this site: http://www.track-trace.com/post

You need your shipment tracking number.

Yes. That's the same one I used. My # started with an RR and has said the same thing since day one about receiving notice that the origin is preparing shipment.

Last update was 2 days after shipment where it left the international post office that was sadly 12 days ago as of today. Oh well. Here's hoping it updates by the end of the week.

Sent them an email and they replied very quickly but it wasnt at all helpful, just told me what I already knew. How to track it, and that it was shipped on X day.

Mine shipped on 1/14, left the international post office on 1/16, and I am still waiting also.

Got mine. Generally satisfied except for two things:

Cable could use another foot or two of length
Very hard to attach connector to N10 with my Poetic Slimline case in closed position (more of a case complaint).
