Phone struggling to charge.

Hello everybody. Recently, I had my phone go under a repair which involved opening up the entire phone just to replaces the mini usb port, which was detached from the phone and was trapped inside, losing its ability to charge.
Now, another problem has arisen. The phone has problems charging with wires compatible with its port. When I connect to it to charge via usb, it was plug-n-go, all good. For some unknown reason, it suddenly came under the issue that I need to shift the usb up,down, left, right, and slightly bend it the inside. Now, the original charger doesn't work because it broke, leaving the usb charger as the only option. I can't understand why my HTC Wizard is having this problem,and it's very frustrating. I paid sixty dollars for the repair on the USB, and it seems it hasn't done anything except reattatch it. Any suggestions?

Hey Infinity M,
By your description, it looks like the soldering is a bit loose, thus you have to shift the USB.
Have you tried with different chargers and cables?
If you wish (at your own risk), get a thin screwdriver or something like one, then apply a small force to all directions at the border of the Wizard's USB. Watch if it moves with any pressure, as that will indicate a loose solder.
Good luck, man!

Thank you for your sufficient reply. I have not tried a different cable, and I have checked the Wizard's USB. I'll have to try another cable to check if it works. Do you know where I can buy a charger for a cheap price. Thanks!
Edit: Heh, I realized you're the same person making that HTC Obsidian Case, I'd love to pay you for it lol.

That's a hard one. I would send you straight away to eBay, lol, but I guess you can take a look at some local stores near you. It doesn't need necessarily to be a Wizard's charger. In fact, any charger for a HTC device that uses the same battery will do (the Tytn's I guess). Or you can check the charger label and see if it meets these requirements:
INPUT: 100-240V~0.2A
OUTPUT: 5V, 1A (this one being the most important of all)

Again, good luck man!

What i steh port behind the battery cover?

As the title states, what on earth is it for? Some are saying its for the car kit, some say it's a charging port and I think we're all lost. Sorry I can't get a picture because the HD2 IS my camera! Anyone care to shed some light on this matter? I'm looking into a diy wireless charging solution and if these 3 pins are battery connectors, then I can use this port on the back.
Cheers!

It's for use with in car hands free and GPS. You take the back cover off and just click the phone in and hey presto, it's all snug and secure.

Any possibility of charging through this port? A few pin out diagrams would be useful but maybe I'm just pushing it now. haha

most definitely there must be... since it does charge with the car kit it seems.
You should be ok by checking with a digital tester the voltage output from those metal contacts

Good idea. I'll give that a shot now. If all goes as planned, great! But next, to work out how to jam an inductive coil behind the cover!

You'll be lucky! I think, think, you can get some whereby you need to remove the battery and the cradle fits in it's place. I would Google it, but I am hungover and feeling lazy.

Haha! big night out I see!

Hmmm. Can't seem to find my multi meter. Anyone able to test if any of these connections have something to do with the battery terminals? At least until I can get my hands on a multi meter.

Zuk z1 not charging, heats up very hot.

So basically, the phone randomly stopped charging and when i had picked it up to see why it wasn't charging, it was really hot to the touch towards the top of the phone. Not sure what is going on. Tried different cables. Does the same thing when the phone is powered off. I just ordered a new Usb-C jack to replace the phone inside the phone. Maybe shorting of some sort... Any ideas?

Happened with me once, in my case it was draining after putting a charger. So, I let it discharged fully until it got switched off & then put a charger. It started charging normally.

Did you try with another adapter? Because then we can rule out the possibility of a short circuit.
And, you mean more hot then usual? Because it's a 2A charger it's sure to heat up the phone.
One more thing, if it's a short then there are possibilities of the surge protector getting burnt which is inside you phone. In that case, either, you'll have to replace the entire charging circuit board or maybe just the surge protector (It varies form brand to brand. Hope Zuk has a replaceable surge protector)

Well I tried various combos of power sources and cables. Nothing seems to work. It's been this way for a while. Now I'm just using a backup phone.

Are you using a custom rom? Because once I was using Nuclearom i dont know what happened but after sometime I also got the same problem. So I Just flashed a different rom ( Mokee) and after that everything was fine.

I was on I believe cm13 nightlies. Unfortunately my phone is dead and can't charge/turn on. So I can't flash anything.

The high voltage protector on your circuit board must have been damaged. Take it to a authorized personnel and get it replaced. Nothing else stands a chance and it cannot happen because of a software issue. If it was a software issue then it would be more like there won't be any indication that it's charging and battery percentage shown would be stuck but still the phone's battery will be charging and will stay powered on.

You say it's on the circuit board. So what do I replace? The whole "motherboard"?

No, no! Your USB Type-C port will be attached to a separate circuit board. The board may also include a mic and maybe a speaker too. So there will be a switch just like a MCB for your house, which in case of high voltage will get get burnt and hence break the circuit. Now just replace that board. Or some manufacturers' design allows just the surge protector to be replaced (Which will save you a lot of bucks).

So if I replace the part with the USB-C port it should fix the problem?

Yeah! But before you replace you can ask the technician to examine the board once. Just cross checking (It does no harm)

I like the way people can do trouble shouting at distance...let me look into my Cristal ball...yep yo will be fine!

Can any 1 tell me which is the best daily use rom for zuk z1 having good battery management and with battery saver or power saver option?

So did this solve the problem...i am asking since my wife phone just stopped charging...no led...
Have an old usbc charging port.. swicthed it but no luck with that. Had battery replaced..but still no luck..
Only could think about the motherboard..but the reason i require tk power up the phone now is for getti g the pictures off the phone...about 25 gb of pictures....
Still hoping i can salvage it...

Time for change

Big Billion on Flipkart And Great Indian Sale on Amazon are on so i recommend you u to change your phone to poco f1.

There might be the problem with the port of mobile due to which it wont be able to charge up, or there can be some issues with battery as well.

charging port board replacement

Hi, has anyone replaced their usb c charging port board?
I've searched some on Amazon but they are not OEM. I am wondering if the replacement will fast charge or not?
Right now my port is kinda loose and I have to position the cable a certain way for it to charge. And the slightest and smallest touch will knock the cable out. And it doesn't fast charge.

Yes, a few people have changed the daughterboard with complete success, however I remember one guy reported fast charging not working afterwards. Bottom line seems to be "beware" and shop carefully.... just like with batteries there are some faulty replacement parts out there. At this point it sounds like you don't really have a choice in the matter. No sense taking a chance damaging your phone (further) with a loose charging port.

I bought mine used, so within a month I bought myself a new charging daughter card and a replacement battery. I ended up buying two. The first didn't work for me, the second replacement I did a couple weeks later with the new battery. This time it worked better. I recommend you try to find an oem part or as close to it. For me the first part was slightly different than the original piece, but the second one I ordered looked identical to the original I took out. If you have not opened up the device yet, then watch some videos of tear downs and watch closely for the daughter card so you can compare against which one you order.

Trusted site to buy spare parts ? (OP5 charging connector)

Hi,
My charging connector is dead and I would like to change it.
Does anyone know where I can find the official charging connector? And if not possible, at least a reliable one. I'm located in France.
Thanks in advance

Yeah I realised that, that needs a whole daughterboard though, you can't just buy the power connector.
