Is it correct for my device when connected to mains, for it to stop charging battery? &only when I switch device off the battery will charge.Please can you clarify the power options and what happens.Sadly while on holiday in grand canarie I purchased device and have had endless problems. This is an extension to my previous post I have just posted.Thanks

I would say your device is faulty as I can charge my galaxy tab 2 10.1 whilst it is switched on.

Are you using the Samsung 2A charger? If the charger has been substituted for a bog standard 1A USB charger this could cause problems.

My Tab 10.1 will run with a 1A charger but will not charge and run at the same time nor will it charge to full capacity even when it’s turned off.

Odd I can use my tab whilst it's charging, however it just charges much slower.

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.
