So can I if I use a 2 Amp charger and the supplied Samsung charger works no matter how much I the push the TAB but you would expect that. What I was trying to say if you use a 1 Amp charger with a device that requires 2 Amps then that device is going to struggle. Let’s remember that the OP bought the TAB in Spain so there’s a chance they bought at a market stall or in one of those many shops you see in the Canaries that sell very, very cheap electronic gear.
A well made 1 Amp charger may work but the chances are that a cheap Chinese 1 Amp charger will or can cause problems and one of the symptoms are that the tablet can’t be used while charging and of course there is the worst symptoms and that is the charger can burst into flames.
