I had no idea where to post this.... computers seemed close enough.
I just got a free Galaxy Tab S 10.5". Its a few years old but in good shape. One problem. It's a pain in the butt to charge. The regular Samsung fast charger & cable I use with my phone (galaxy s7) charges my phone lightning fast but when I plug it into the tablet it goes into slow charging mode. This takes over a day to charge. (Both the wall charger and cable are brand new)
Now here's the weird thing. When I change cables to an old short one it works fine (still using the same wall charger). The tablet doesn't have a fast charging mode but it at least doesn't go into slow mode with the shorter cable.
I thought all USB cables were the same? Why would one cable charge my phone correctly but not my tablet? The cable I'm using to get my tablet charged now is only like a foot long, I need something 6 foot. How do I buy another cable and know it's going to work with my tablet?
