Yes, problem is not on cables, as the same ones, can charge other phones. I bet i't the micro usb port on phone is loose or something, because when i press a bit harder the phone starts up, but there's no battery so stay awake... I hope this falls under warranty man...

Test pull-out the baterie wait 15 seg and put it.
Test charging on another X5.

It happened something similar to my first Huawei U8800. It only switched on when I remove my battery and plug the AC charger. I went to the store and they exchanged it..

Seems like i've got the same problem. My X5 doesn't charge since last night. Did you find the solution for your phone?
PROBLEM SOLVED. The 2 chargers i tried was both broken

And why didn't it charge from the PC? doesn't seem right
EDIT: Wrong reply, I thought fjsferreira had two broken chargers

HD2 Wont charge - Broken Hub.

The phone was charging earlier in the morning off my laptop, but will no longer charge,(I remember dropping it lightly on the table) i dont know why. It didnt charge last night either. I'm not sure what's wrong with it, but i'm suspecting the charge hub, i have no bent/broken battery pins. Is this fixable or do i just get a new phone?

Have you tried another hub on the laptop, or the wall charger?

I've tried a wall charger , a laptop and a PC.
2 different cables. It still turns on, it just wont charge.

Maybe it is only SW problem. Check in setting "allow charge on usb connect" or something similar. In the case that is HW problem u have 2 options: 1) bad contact between conector/motherboard = fix disassemble phone and soldering (relatively complicated but possible) If u can find some position where charging is OK that it is on 99%
2) problem in charging circuit on MB = change MB or new phone (both is expensive)
Sorry for my very bad english... :crying:

Well I had with my old phone the same problem but I recognized that there was some dirt in the charging port of the phone.
I removed this with my nail and it worked again.
Probably it won't help you but you'll never know

Try connecting the charge cable to a USB port on your computer for a few hours. You may not see anything right away but eventually the phone will begin to charge.

i got this issue few days back..the charging was slow..cant even reach 100 when im on the phone..its pathetic..swap with my old lg phone model cable bam!the old cable built was much rugged compared to nexus 4..

I have exactly the same problem - when it ran out of power today, it switched itself off normally, and then when I inserted the cable, it didn't charge. not even the battery animation thing came up!
I hope somebody can find a solution.
Oh yeah, and I checked in the port for dust, and used countless alternate wires and power adapters

When you run the battery all the way down it takes a while to start a charge. Just leave it plugged in for a while and it'll go. I'm not sure if it does this every time because I don't drain my phone to 0% but it has happened before on my old phone and I've seen it happen to iphones as well.

Same problem

Did you ever find a solution or send the phone in to LG? I'm having this exact problem right now. I've tried three different micro USB wall chargers for hours at a time as well as charging it through the USB port on my computer. I get absolutely no charge and I have never had any problems at all until last night when it simply would not charge.

Try pressing the power button and immediately the low volume, wait like 3 to 5 seconds and it'll restarts. Not the first time this happens to me and wish to know what's going on! don't know if there's an app that's doing this or hardware issue...

Try cleaning the port like mentioned. There's videos in YouTube

ahh this problem...i had the exact same problem with my gnex...its just that the metal plate of the micro usb port of your phone has bent down a bit which is why it doesnt charge...the easiest way to fix that is to take something flat and lift the metal plate gently..not too much otherwise you'll break it...just lift it up slightly and it should charge normally then...Hopefully :fingers-crossed:

Very bizarre battery problem with my Note 4

Hi Guys,
Really need some help here. Just recently my note 4 has been failing to charge properly. When I plug my charger, it will charge for a few minutes with my official Samsung Charger but it will stop even with that. It will not charge at all connected to my laptop or my in car charger. This is what I have done so far..
1) Have bought a new battery (phone is 2 years old) New battery made no difference.
2) Have cleaned the hell out of the bottom connector on the phone (does nothing)
Not sure what else it can be. I love this phone and dont want to get rid but cant understand what is wrong.
So new battery, clean connectors, several re starts, taking out cleaning the sim and everything in the phone. What the hell else could it be??
Please help!!!

1.Open dialer and dial *#0228# and press (quick start)at the bottom and hit YES this will reset battery stats and clear and battery calibration issues then turn off your phone and charge full to 100% to recalibrate battery stats.
2.if the 1st method dosent works then Try factory reset
3.flash stock firmware in odin.

​Thanks but tried that and it say's 'invalid mmi code.' Tried factory reset as well still no joy. I just don't get it sometime it will charge for 10 minutes then just stop for no reason. Also when phone swtiched off it doesn't charge at all but vibrates intemittently. Any other suggestions? Thanks for your help.

Maybe your charging connector has a problem, test your battery in another phone

Thanks but I have three different batteries for my Note 4 and they all do this. I fear there is something wrong with the connector in my phone, although it doesn't explain why it will charge for longer sometimes than others, this is what annoys me, its totally random!!! last night I got a full charge out of my phone, today, tried charging and nothing!!!
This is genuine mystery, has my phone got a virus or something?? Why does it charge sometimes then not other times?
I don't want to give up my Note 4 I love the damn thing, any further help would be appreciated with virtual alcohol!

Might be interesting to get one of those Qi wireless charging receivers and a wireless charger to see if it charges correctly that way, bypassing the USB port.
EDIT: I use the Fonesalesman one and a Choetech 3-coil charger.

Hmmm.... that's a good idea, but I thought that the note 4 wasnt capable to charge wireless without an adaptor that that
plugs into the USB port.
I could be wrong though.

I use wireless charging every day, never used the USB port except occasionally to copy large files over and to activate Helium for backup. It does, of course, take longer to charge, but I have a couple of wireless chargers about and just set the phone on whenever I'm near one. Phone rarely drops below 50% charge except if I'm out all day.
You need one of these, once you put the back cover on you'll hardly know it's there - I have a UAG case on too, so it's basically invisible:

and a wireless charger like one of these:

Hope this helps.

I bought a orignal bulky wireless cover, then modifit it and removed the qi plate and put it in the phone and use original cover..more slim and works
Thow i suspect that its other hardware falire..my phone is freezing/restarting without any damn special reason, wireless charge dosent work sometimes, it restarts while wireless charging ...all behaviour having something to do with the Power! i have 3 batteries.
O i think its something to do with hardware, thow i will test flashing a stock room again just to be sure. if nothing above helps u can do the same then if problem still remains so you need to take it to a repair shop.

Very annoying problem and one that frustrates me because its random! I got it charging for 25 minutes tonight before it, all of a sudden for no reason stops at 44%....
However I today received an external charger that I bought of eBay for a mere £5.99 it's great. Although it means I have to keep swapping batteries, it's by far the most cost effective solution. Until I see a phone that is a significant leap above the Note 4 I refuse to upgrade which, quite frankly the S.7 isn't...

Redmi Pro Charging port broken/shorted

Hi so I bought the device about 3 months ago and it was awesome from the get go everything was great until today when i plugged in my device for charging. After a while i noticed it was charging very slowly so i instinctively disconnected and reconnected the type a usb cable from the charger. On reconnecting there was no indication of charging on my phone. I reconnected it one more time and nothing. So i took out my voltmeter and connected that in series. The moment i connected it it started to restart continuously. On off on off and i had to disconnect it to make it stop. I thought it might be a cable issue so i tried a micro usb cable with an adapter. Same result. Then i switched chargers, again same result. Whenever i disconnected the phone it would stop restarting. On one charger it did stay on but the voltage dropped to 3 volts and amps up to 2.3.
So i have concluded from above stated facts that the charging port/ board is kaput. If anyone has any suggestions on this please let me know.
After this i started to search for a replacement type c charging board for the redmi pro but i cant find any. Any help in finding one with international shipping would be appreciated.
Please leave Ur thoughts on my conclusion.

replace your usb c cable

Thx. But luckily i was able to repair it. Woohoo

Anyone know where to get a replacement usb charging pcb ?

was it a easy fix or did you replace the usb board?

Sorry for the late reply. I searched for the port on various websites when i had the issue but couldnt find anyone who sold redmi pro parts. Luckily however i found a seller on ALIEXPRESS who said that he did have it. He had asked me to pay using mi max charging board which was around 7 usd and then he would send The redmi pro charging board.
Sadly i cant find the seller who said this so i cant share the link here.
What u could do is go on aliexpress, find the largeat stores with the widest variety of xiaomi charging boards and ask them if they have it.

For me it realy was an easy fix and fast one too.
I was out of option at the time so what i thought of was that if i could find a 4 or 5 amp usb brick i could probably melt the shorted portion of the circuit. Ofcourse that in itself is dangerous because it could ruin the phone completely.
Anyways sadly i could not find any such power bricks. When i had almost lost all hope i thought of trying this out in my cars charger because car is already running on a DC system and is capable of providing alot of current to the usb charger, which is just a sort of regulated stepdown transformer. So hopefully that would provide the power i need. I started the car and then connected the phone. The moment i connected the phone to the charger the cars rpm lowered slightly for a second as if it were under stress and then went back to idle. AND MAGIC! It was fixed.
What it did was provide alot of current to the phone which heated and melted the shorted circuit. Since then ive had no issue with the phone.
It might be different for u though so i wouldnt recommend just doing what i did. If u have waranty claim that. If u r out of all options and u feel like ur phone is a dead piece of metal (like i did) then go ahead. But do not hold the phone in ur hand or anything while doing so because it can be dangerous in a number of ways. DC is much more unforgiving then AC.
Hope this helps.
