Dont use cheap chargers

So with this thread I would like to tell you what happens when you use cheap magnetic chargers.
But most of all to WARN you to be careful, because I didn't have any indication or even heard that this was possible before it happened to me.
I got my new phone twenty something days ago and today I got my cheap magnetic charger from ebay.
Not knowing there is a significant importance in the way you plug it, I managed to do it the wrong way....
What happened:
The phone shut itself off.
When connected to the wall plug it only flashes in red.
When connected to PC (win 7 64x) it pulses slowly but still no go.
When you try to flash firmware - not recognized.
When you try hard reset (volume up key + power button) - no go.
When you try the hard reset red button next to sim holder (I didn't even knew it existed) - again no go.
When you try pressing every button and praying - no go.
When you curse and threaten it so loudly that your neighbors call the police - no go.
I will try 2 more things - discharging the battery completely and charging it again over night to see what happens. If any improvements appear or don't I will edit the thread so you can learn from my misfortune and hopefully avert one of your own.
And now for the fun part:
Q: What does a XZ1c + cheap magnetic charger add up to ?
A: Red Christmas lights.
Q: What happens if you do the same thing as me?
A: You teach your phone to play dead.
Q: What should you say if people ask if your phone is bricked?
A: Tell them that you googled images of dark chocolate
And if you want to know how the cable looks like here's a link - next to it you can see burned to black 200 euros :crying:

Update
Phone is completely and utterly bricked.
Discharging and charging has no effect.
Flashtool doesn't recognize the phone when I want to flash ftf.
Another person with the same issue contacted me, he told me that these are the signs of a burned mobo, in his case the lcd was a goner too...
So now you know, please if you read this be careful, this could happen to other xperias with magnetic charging I suppose
For the people that posted up till now:
im not sure the cheap carger cause this... could be other harware failure or even sw.

unfortunately it's from the charger
It seems the problem is you plugging it in the wrong way. Not the charger....

50% correct, the problem is that these chargers are not supposed to be connectable in other ways, the cheap ones are however...
I have cheap magnetic cable and it's awesome you can't plug it in a wrong way hehe you must be lucky guy if you have done this hehe.

a picture is worth a thousand words, now I see a big difference, my charging pins are hanging out if the plastic, making the contact much more easier, with yours it would be difficult

So my new Z1C is on its way, this time I bought a used one, so if it dies I wouldn't be so angry
There is saying in Bulgarian that is: What a person does to himself cannot be done to him by another.
So I could only wish you happiness and no trouble with magnetic chargers

I have cheap magnetic cable and it's awesome you can't plug it in a wrong way hehe you must be lucky guy if you have done this hehe. People learns on mistakes get your phone on warranty and tell that it bricked while performing update via pc companion it should works

You most definitely can plug the Chinese fakes in the wrong way. Virtually no extra force required, and the phone instantly crashes/reboots.
Thankfully mine didn't suffer any permanent damage

Strange...
I bought that adapter: http://www.dx.com/p/aluminum-alloy-...dapter-for-sony-z1-z1-mini-more-silver-320911
It's working like a charm... No problems at all, charging time is the same... :highfive:

Hmm very strange because in my case I can't plug my charger in other way it's simply impossible hehe I have +,- signs too. When I will be at home i will make screenshots with my cable but if phone got bricked it can be send on warranty without problem.

As you can see (or not) ;p in my Chinese charger cable I have two different plug wholes and because of that I can't plug my charger in different way as normal way i bought it for 5 euro 6 months ago and for now it charge fast as normal stock charger so for me good deal

Same thing happened to my phone, though it came back after a while after hitting the red button.
Timeline:
- slept with phone at ~70%
- woke up to a phone that is turned off
- no LED when charged through the magnetic charger or the USB port
- PC does not recognize phone
- held power button: no response. Held power+down: no response. Pressed red button: no response.
- left phone plugged in to PC while I google around
- phone vibrates and boots but fails to boot completely
- tried to interrupt to recovery which works; perform a full restore
- phone able to reboot completely
Here's the strange part
- plug magnetic charger
- see temperature ramp up quickly from ~33c to 38-39c and fluctuate quickly from 37-39c; same result with other apps
- use original cable+original charger: sticks at 33c
Suffice to say I'm back to USB charging

Same thing happened here i got the same cheap magnetic charger - which doesnt always work at all- and i accidentally snapped it the opposite way 2 times the first the screen flash but nothing else happened..the 2nd it shut down and wouldnt turn back on...i froze too and then i googled about hard reset and it came alive again...after that i went to add my christmas tree an extra light..

I do use a cheap magnetic charger cable for months and have no problems with it!

update - the phone is dead, original post edited

Fuark.
Alright in my case windows recognizes that a device (I forgot what windows called it) is present when I plugged it in.
This problem would have been avoided if Sony actually sold genuine cables themselves (they don't sell in my country) instead of just the dock (which you couldn't use with a large number of common cases.)

Congrats, you got one where the metal contacts are correctly recessed far enough. On some, despite the different shaped plastic on each pin, the metal sticks out far enough to still make contact

[FIX]G3 won't Power-ON and Bootloops while Charging

THE STORY:
So, today, my friend consulted me about his D850 G3 'cause he powered it off with 50% remaining and it won't power on manually via power button. I ask him if it still charges, the he plugged the charger on it and the G3 showed the "loading battery" screen (the screen that shows before charging animation) and it bootlooped on there, thus not charging.
Scratching my head, I tried pressing the power button while the "loading battery" screen is shown, the LG boot screen showed up, but it bootlooped again back to the "loading battery" screen. I also unplugged the battery, gave it a good rest, then plugged it back, but still, no good.
I tried plugging the phone via PC to see if it detects, and it detects, and it wont... So... Yeah... Still no good
And then I remembered my Samsung Galaxy S2 days, when I do this "soft-reset" thing. So, I did it and suprisingly, it bypassed the "loading battery" screen and now it charges! Tried powering it on, and IT'S ON! Yay! :good:
SUMMARIZING:
1. Phone won't turn on via Power Button, so no go for recovery and download mode.
2. Charging it just bootloops the "loading screen", thus, not charging.
3. Re-plugging the battery won't do.
2. No luck on PC.
SOLUTION (Soft-Reset):
1. Power off the device.
2. Pull out the battery and press the power button for 10 seconds WITHOUT the battery.
(I don't know if this is necessary on our G3, since I don't know if our G3 has a separate power source like the S2, but still did it anyways.)
3. Plug the charger into your G3 WITHOUT the battery. It will show like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4. Then, WHILE charger is plugged-in WITHOUT the battery, plug the battery back. Now, it SHOULD charge.
5. And after a couple of minutes, you can power on your device. :good:
If you face similar issues like my friend, try this and hope this'll help you as well. Just posting it here for reference and future bookmark. Have a good day guys/gals :good:
:good:

Are you using Fulmics rom? As far as I know it had an issue with battery charging when not plugged, you need to update to 5.3 to resolve it.

I had the same issue on my vs985. What does it say in the computer under Start/devices and printers in the computer when you plug it in. If it shows up as unknown device its bricked. You will need to look at this thread it tells you what to do to fix this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359 Now I'm back up and running. Don't get frustrated when using the guide. I used a bread tie and it works perfect. PM me if you need help. This guide should work for your variant.

No, man. I think you've misunderstood my post. I posted a "fix" for the problem of my friend, and the problems already solved. Just shared my experience here. The PC detects the G3, then it won't, then it will, then it won't... You prolly get what's happening if you read the OP. :good:

Your right my bad. Just being eager to help ha ha. Well I've brought my phone back to life around 3 times now so I can be done unless the hardware is damaged.

thanks for this fix!! it works for me

Had similar issue with Galaxy devices while running a aosp rom. But my battery was fully discharged. I would pull out battery. Plug in USB connected to a PC. Then try to enter download mode or recovery. Then replace battery to charge a little before restarting the device to let it charge normally.

Oh my word... I tried rebooting my phone into Recovery Mode and it completely shut down on me. I've spent the last thirty minutes or so trying to get it to boot with no success I saw solutions similar to yours (pull battery out, drain phone, plug battery back in, recharge, etc.), but none that suggested putting the battery back in while the phone was plugged in. Success!

Thanks For sharing your Experience My problem is same to yours, But charging boot looping Download mode boot looping, When i remove the Battery while plugged to charger a Caution on Battery icon But When i plug the battery back Boot looping again Everything But my Battery have Charged up to 60% Something Is not Bootlooping Like Data Reset screen What is the Problem with my battery Please Help

PCB of battery sort story resistance good up as days go by ( sometimes it works sometime constant reboot , sometime not charging . see YouTube lg g3 battery PCB fix , and you can test it get a working one from someone to see if it boots ( and yes I have done mine and still working after 1,5 year after problem)

Hello everyone, and a Happy New Year to all,
I have an LG G3 phone that isn't charging at all - no led indicators or anything. Upon connecting the charger (without battery in phone) ... I see the indicator as pictured above telling me that the battery is absent. As soon as I insert the battery, the screen goes black and nothing else happens. I've also tested the battery using a multi-meter and it's fine. Has anyone else experienced this ... and has a solution been found?

Hello! Thank you for such a speedy response! I really appreciate it.
Upon connecting the phone to my computer, Windows (10) notifies that the connected USB device has malfunctioned and therefore isn't recognized. In Device Manager the notification reads, "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed". Thanks for any further assistance.
P.S - I also have a question regarding an LG G4. I see that you also have knowledge about them but I am not sure of the respective protocols with respect to threads and such. Please advise, thank you.

Once again, thank you for your responses. I was thinking the same regarding 'end of life'. I believe that in order to resurrect it, something inside will have to be changed i.e a hardware issue. My computer and its USBs are functioning well ... so I know it's the phone. My major issue, apart from getting it to work again, is retrieving any information from it that I can.

Galaxy S8 Won't Charge When Powered Off

The problem:
When my S8 is turned off and plugged in (yes, stock charger), the device won't charge. The charging icon show on the screen nor will the LED indicator light up. However, the device will still charge while it's ON (with the same charger).
This matter hasn't really been pressing because I rarely run out of battery. However, the few times I drain the battery completely, it's been extremely hard to turn the device on again. I'll have to trickle charge it and then turn the device on, hope the device doesn't die while turning on, and only then will the S8 start charging normally.
A ton more details:
Sometimes, I'll see a charging warning that there is water in the port. I think that this entire problem has arisen from the device thinking that there is water in the port, but I don't see why it would refuse to charge only when the device is turned off. My device has not been in water for 3-4 months.
This problem has been ongoing for 3-4 months
If turned off, the device will still charge WIRELESSLY
When I plug in the charger while the device is off, there's a small horizontal line on the screen that will light up every few seconds. I'm assuming that this is a boot loop due to charge failure.
I've been "trickle charging" the device by holding the power down and volume down button to start the bootloader. I'm unsure if this is a permanent solution, though, and it is not quite consistent.
Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem buddy.
I don't know how to fix that.
did you manage to fix it ?
p.s : I just bought this phone.

Sounds defective, I'd contact Samsung about a warranty repair.

Have the exact same issue. It will wireless charge when off, though.
Won't fast charge when on.
All the problems started when all of a sudden I got the old "moisture" in USB warning.
Got rid of that and downhill from there.
This started around 21 January, but the not charging when off, and slow charging seemed to have come on at a later stage.
Not impressed as I tend to baby my phones.

I have the same issue.
If i quickly press the power button while it's turned off and immediatly plug the charger, the phone shows the moisture warning and starts to vibrate.
The phone has never been exposed to moisture. I already tried to clean the usb and jack ports, and i also cleaned the usb app without success.
Any idea before a factory reset or rma?

I had exactly the same problem as Spike96.It seems it's a software problem from Samsung.I tried everything on the net to fix it,including talking to Samsung,nothing worked.I then systematically went through the entire usb programs and settings-FINALLY I found the problem,the USB audio routing when turned on,,causes the USB failure,go to developer options,disable USB audio routing,and your phone will charge as it should when powered off

12 hours later problem returned

U have to turn off " Varify apps via USB" in developers option, as well.
I had the same problem and just fixed it by clicking every option and found the luck.

Came here because I also have this problem now. Which unfortunately happened to start the DAY AFTER I pre-ordered the S10+ with my S8 included as part exchange.
If the phone is off, it says theres moisture in the port and wont charge. If I hold volume down and power, it resets and turns on like normal and charges like normal. Phone has been exposed to water in the past but not in the last few days. Strange that it says there's moisture when the phone is off.

Same issue over here. No quick charge and it won't charge when my phone is off. It also won't turn on with the charging cable is connected, I have to disconnect it before I'm able to turn on my phone.
Tried fully cleaning all my phone ports with a wooden toothpick and some alcohol, but without luck. (Had a charging issue before, with another phone, and this is what fixed it)
After reading this tread I changed the developer options, but I still have the problem.
I also recorded a bug report, but I got a really big file out of it and I can't find anything regarding the phone charging.
Are there any other suggestions for things I can try without having to factory reset my phone?
Any suggestion is welcome.

I've noticed that sometimes after i unplug the phone from the charger (obv i can charge only if it's on) the warning appears.
Do you think that a custom rom would solve the problem?

No. I have lineageos 16, but the problem is present.

Superweird problem. I always had this problem, when the phone was fully off it would not charge unless I powered it on first.
Disabling "USB audio routing" PLUS disabling "Verify apps via USB" in developer options like suggested fixed this for me!

I've got the same issue, and I have been dealing with this for over 2 years now. I initially thought my phone was gone for good because it wouldn't turn on at all, flash me a working screen, or vibrate like it usually does. So, I just kept it hidden in my cabinet for almost a year.
When I remembered I had this S8+ device, I decided to take one more look at it and it finally turned on!.. Well, the charging icon before actually being turned on did, at least. However, like @Spike96, @MrRanza, @AC5L4T3R, and @IkBenNietHier mentioned, the off charging screen showed a water-in-port warning below the charging icon and would vibrate non-stop — and not charge too, of course. Here's a picture of what the screen looks like on the device:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I later then found that either hard resetting the device or using a wireless charger would pretty much fix the issue, but again, like @Spike96 presumed, it isn't a permanent solution and isn't very consistent, because I've noticed that the longer I leave my S8+ uncharged and dead, the harder it is to get it starting again. I'm quite relieved, though, that a lot of other people are experiencing this predicament, as well, because I know I'm not alone with having this annoying issue anymore.
A couple of people in this thread suggested going to Developer Options > Debugging: disable Verify apps via USB + Media: Prevent USB audio routing, but my Verify apps via USB was always disabled (by default, unless I turn Debugging: USB debugging on), and doing the given steps did nothing for me. I appreciate the help a lot, though, but I'm still stuck with the same problem...
Actually, it's worse now — for some reason, after turning my phone off to see if it'll charge, it now won't react to any of the button combinations except for Odin mode (volume down + power key + Bixby key). I'll just try again some other time — this happens a lot, anyway...

I faced exactly similar issue with s9+ around a year back .... I tried cleaning the port etc and flashing custom rom ... Nothinh fixed the issue .... Wireless charging worked fine .... Finally i got the usb port changed and it fixed this issue ...

Phone not charging, stuck at 1% after factory reset

Hi everyone,
My Axon 7 is not charging at all after I did a factory reset. The phone is almost 2 years old and battery was degrading a lot so I went and decided to do a factory reset. It was at 50% and charging fine before I hit reset, but once I reset and came to the setup screen, I noticed the battery showed 1% which was weird. I then unplugged the charger and it immediately died. Turning it on without charger will automatically turn off.
The phone does show the red led light and charging icon but no matter what it will stay at 1%.
Here's what I've tried so far:
-Change cable/charger
-Left overnight charging with phone on
-Left overnight charging with phone off
-Reset phone/wipe cache many times
I have always been on stock A2017U and wondering if flashing another ROM may help?
If anyone have tips on how I can revive my Axon 7 that would be appreciated. I really don't want to retire it yet.

Two years? Consider replacing the battery? The degradation on this thing is horrendous.

Uh no.Even with degraded battery,it should not stick to 1%.

Hi everyone,
My Axon 7 is not charging at all after I did a factory reset. The phone is almost 2 years old and battery was degrading a lot so I went and decided to do a factory reset. It was at 50% and charging fine before I hit reset, but once I reset and came to the setup screen, I noticed the battery showed 1% which was weird. I then unplugged the charger and it immediately died. Turning it on without charger will automatically turn off.

if i were you, i'd ignore this predatorhaze guy...
Whatever you do, I'd say go for it, buy a new battery. It won't be for nothing.
But on the matter at hand: This comes down to charging mechanics. Your battery will charge with a set voltage (usually 4.4V) after the fastest stretch which is constant-current fast charge. If your phone stays on, you should check a couple of things to be sure that the phone is trying to charge at least.
First of all download Ampere, it'll show you the charge rate and battery voltage. You should leave it charging for a minute with the app open, and check how much current goes through. The battery voltage should be reported below as well. Then disconnect the charger, and see if you can see what the voltage says. If it is below 3.3 V then BCL (Software that controls some battery-related functions, one of which is this brown-out protection that turns the phone off after a certain voltage) will shut down the phone. Degraded batteries have certain physical properties that make them heat more and have serious voltage dips when a sizable current is demanded, something which Predatorhaze here doesn't seem to understand.
Now, you could try to disable BCL completely by simply adding root to the mix and running some commands that Infy_AsiX posted in the BCL degradation thread, this is obviously temporary if your battery is past the point of charging but it's possible. no need to switch ROMs although that might not be as bad.

This happens to me too, sometimes. Shockingly enough, once I charge it via USB cable from my laptop (I have an ASUS ROG G750JS, if that matters) , the charging picks up. Moment it crosses 36%, I can now charge it via the wall charger again; I'm careful now not to let my phone die down anymore.
I should change the battery, but I'm planning on selling this thing by February anyway and want to give the buyer a new battery altogether, by then.

Here's readout from Ampere at 4.4v but the mA is very low. I couldn't get a proper readout after unplugging the phone as it dies immediately before it could measure.
Thanks for the post, will try to root and perform the BCL methods, if doesn't work ill try to flash LOS.
Just wanted to exhaust my options before replacing battery, seems tough to do and could be the motherboard or something else at fault.

Unfortunately this doesn't work for me either, I left it for a whole day while at work charging through pc, same symptoms

well, if anything, the battery swap is extremely easy on this phone
You don't even need to use heat on the grilles, just use something very sharp like a craft knife on the right corners of the grilles, pry upwards, then very carefully use a flat screwdriver or something like that. if you have the gold one, the grilles are very flexible, unlikely that you'll do any damage. If you have the gray model you'll need to be extremely careful with the top grille where you have the hole because it'll probably snap there.
Then take the screws off (6), open just slightly, take the fp cable sensor off carefully, take one more screw off, pry the battery, insert new one
You can watch JerryRigEverything's disassembly video to know every step of the process, it's useful for that

Finally I've managed to get the phone charging.
Flashed LOS but didn't remediate the issue, although TWRP does show 73%, phone dies after booting up.
So I attempted to go back to stock again. Voila this time turning on the phone, battery started to go up, unplugging holds.
However, issue remain is that charging now is significantly slower even though it is showing fast charging, and once it hits 75% it takes roughly an hour and a half to 2 hours to get to 100%.
I guess I will see how it goes for the next week or so and if battery performs poorly I will go ahead and buy a replacement battery.

Battery charging problem

Hi there,
I have a Leeco Le Pro 3 x720 running Lineage OS 17.1 (last version) . I was very happy with it but recently it is giving me a good headache due to the next battery charging problem.
This is a description on how the phone behaves depending on the situation:
* if the phone is powered off -> it just charges fine .
Once the phone is charging at this stage, if it boots while charging, it keeps charging until it is unplugged. This is perfectly right.
* But if the phone is already powered on, with no charging cable plugged, there are two behaviors depending on the charger:
** chargers that only can charge if they are plugged when the phone is powered off: if the phone boots connected to this kind of chargers, it charges and works as usual until they are unplugged. But they won't charge at all If they are plugged once the phone is on. I have no idea about what is happening in this case
** chargers that can charge anyway: if these chargers are plugged once the phone is on, the battery charging logo doesn't show the battery logo charging ray that means the phone is charging, but the phone is actually charging. The battery logo won't update the battery level shown, it will just stay at the last battery level, the battery level won't rise at all. In example, the battery level shown stays at 50%, and when the battery drops from that level, it goes down as usual, but it never shows a higher battery level, it is not going to show a 51% battery level. Only if the phone is rebooted, the battery level logo will show the right battery level. Looks like the phone is not detecting it is charging, although it is actually charging.
This behavior don't depend on the battery charger watts:
- I have some 10 Watts and 24 Watts battery chargers made by Amazon, Leeco, Samsung, that work in the first way described (they only work if they are plugged at boot time), and
- I have a 10 Watts battery charger made by Aukru that works the second way described, (it charges anyway).
I have tried wiping and reinstalling the Lineage ROM using TWRP but this didn't fix the problem.
At the beginning I thought it was a software issue but now I have no idea.
EDIT: I noticed that each time a system update was applied, the next time the phone boots, the charging worked without any problem. Charging whenever it was plugged to the battery charger. After that, the next time the system reboots it works in the way described above.
Questions:
- is this a software issue or a hardware issue?
- Could you explain what is happening?
- How could I fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Regards!

I have a quite similar situation.
Mi Le Pro 3 stopped charging, just charges when the battery completely drains and the phone turns off.
Once I turn the phone on it keeps charging but if it´s unplugged it stops charging until the battery is completely drained again.
I´ll reinstall LOS 17.1 again, if it doesn´t work I´ll try with 18.1.
I´ll let you know any update.

I've had the same/similiar problem it seems since I've had the phone almost. I got the phone in July of 2018, and within a week of getting it a dropped it in the toilet (feel free to laugh). Let it dry, and it's still worked ever since. I just don't know if that could cause issues down the road or not. I figured when it comes to water, it's either screwed, or not, but I don't know enuff about how that works. Anyways, I used the phone for a little less than a year and got another phone, and rarely used it since. Started using it again recently, and there's the usual problem with some cords or chargers not working for it. And then there's the phone either reading the battery information wrong, or it's getting fed the wrong information, regarding battery level as well as charge time left. Like, it's said 2% charging, 2 min left till full ha. Almost the phone likes to randomly shut off, but i'm thinking now that it's not randomly shutting off, but it's because the battery is actually dead even though it's reading say, 52%. And then sometimes when the phone shuts down and I'm charging it, when i hit the power button to see the charge level, I instead get a battery icon with a ? in the center of it!

This is what it shows now, which looks correct.

Ok, a bit more info now that i've been trying to watch for any patterns on this issue. So, if the phone is off and i put it on a charger, any charger that it recognizes and does so with an led light coming on, hitting the power button to check the charge level displays this fun little icon:
Annoyances aside, I find this (never seen it before) quite comical, just in the fact of me visualizing a conversation between me and my phone, and the phone gets an attitude and throws up a question mark symbol in response to any question i have for it lol...
But yeah, so not all chargers will charge the thing, even tho it acts like it's charging. Turning it on while on one of these chargers will make the phone shut back off during boot, no matter how long u leave it plugged in to charge. There's only a few chargers i have that will actually charge it.
Another thing I noticed is I have Battery Saver set to pop on at 30%, but i dont see any indication that it is on, and the buutton that says "TURN ON NOW" can never be clicked, no matter what.

Lol that's weird. I've got my X722 since Feb 2018 and used it for all these years every single day (no signs of replacing it until it dies...probably), and in contrast I've taken quite some care with it: Never ever using the original charger and cable (just throw them away as these were the cause of many burnt ports back then) and using QC3 only when I actually need it (mainly because the phone gets pretty warm when charging this way, especially during summer, Lithium cells don't like extreme heat too much). It doesn't even have any noticeable scratches (a couple super small ones that are pretty hard to even notice).
I've gone through every single Android revision and currently in 10 (AICP) and experienced some of those issues a couple of times:
- The phone would, quite literally, randomly shutdown without any warnings (nothing to do with the battery, as it would turn on like normal after a hard reset). Maybe like 10 times since I've got it. Sometimes I just noticed it's actually turned off or it dies in my hands while doing anything. I've got no clue why this might happen, but it's so rare (like once every couple of months) that it doesn't bother me.
- The phone would not charge AT ALL when using some particular chargers (nothing to do with the cables as I've tested).
So far: Huawei and Samsung original chargers would only turn on the charging LED indicator for it to turn off like 2 seconds later (no charging whatsoever); and crap quality bootleg chargers (like those fake Samsung ones from Aliexpress) or those ****ty $1 chargers that you can buy everywhere would trigger charging but at unreasonably low speed (like 15mA charging current, basically not charging at all).
My Tronsmart 2 port charger (one with and one without QC3) coupled with the same 2 cables I've bought with it still works like a charm (been using it ever since I've got this phone). Only the port on the cable I use for normal (non QC3) charging is slightly loose (because that's the one I use the most) and the phone still holds quite a charge even though I charge it almost everyday (too much Youtube...).
Apart from this one, all the Xiaomi chargers I've tried also works fine (although none of the QC capable ones actually charge with QC3, I've only get this to work with my Tronsmart one). And the Nokia charger from my sister's phone also works fine.
