Zuk z1 not charging, heats up very hot. - Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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)

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.

Fixing Galaxy Note problems

Hey guys, I created this thread to chronicle my attempt in fixing my Galaxy Note's broken USB dock connector.
The problem: The phone charges only when off. MTP/USB mass storage won't work. On some roms Car mode wackiness ensued. It seemed like it was possessed; exactly like another persons detail of the problem.
Attempt to fix it: Contacted three wholesalers in China at Alibaba.com for the dock connector for Galaxy Note. Waiting on response right now.
So far I have eleminated everything in my troubleshooting. I've tried multiple custom roms and went and tried two different stock roms with no luck. I also have tried plugging in different kinds of usb cables. I also tried plugging them in different computers.
Anyone can post they're problem-->solution here for future reference.
I found this on google and I thought it was very helpful. HERE IS THE SERVICE MANUAL FOR GALAXY NOTE:

I am afraid there is no solution for this type of behavior at this point. I am too had the same experience.
I am awaiting for another responds email from Germany(where my Note came from) to send mine in for a repair. Until then, I can still use my Note with external battery/charger that I got from Amazon.
good luck-
Are guys plugging the cord in upside down or something? Ive had galaxy s, sgs2 and now note since release day and havent experienced this issue.
GALAXY NOTE
Did you guys try use difference charger? I face the same problem once where the charging mode keep changing to dock mode on and off while charging. After i change it use others charger (spare), now everything is ok.
My theory is that the charger started to malfunction n produce too low or too high voltage which trigger the dock mode..my 2 cents.. ;P correct me if im wrong..

After having 2 SGNote units being bricked and (luckily) replaced with a new unit everytime, I found that the root cause for the SGNote being bricked is a weak USB interface and protection circuit. At first I thought I just messed up the rooting process that's why I bricked the device. When my 2nd replacement unit also got bricked, I traced back that the only common denominator was a rogue iphone charger that I used to recharge the device. Knowing that the weakness of the SGNote is the USB circuit, I'm now careful to use no other charger but the stock charger that came with the unit.

I strongly believe that the Galaxy S2 USB problems are of similar nature and the solution was to replace the USB dock connector. This gives me a lot of hope since it's easy enough to do. There is no soldering involved AFAIK since it just came off during the Galaxy Note teardown video on youtube @2:28 and @3:36 (ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFDr3PQMTxw). Correct me if I'm wrong.
its definitely a hardware issue and has been traced to the usb port inside the phone. I have the same issue and I am also waiting for the part to replace the damaged one inside my phone.
here is what I am doing to make my phone function-able:
When you connect the usb cord to charge the phone you have to press it down hard and then slide it out. this will temporarily fix the physical usb port pins and allow your phone to function normally. you have to do this every time when you connect and disconnect the usb cord. I will use my phone like this until the part becomes available to buy. I have a feeling, this phone is very delicately designed and can get bricked all by itself.
My note does not charge with Three of my HTC chargers neither does it charge with another car charger.but charges fine with the Samsung charger.has sometimes issues with otg with Samsung otg cable and another otg cable. Even today when I used a Samsung otg cable to connect my note with a Samsung galaxy s2 via a Samsung USB cable, the otg features did not work, the s2 just said mtp and note said unknown device connected! So there are issues with this USB on the note.
I saw a youtube video for Galaxy S2 where he suspected that it was a malfunctioning USB dock. He replaced it and all the symptoms were gone. I'm really going full press on this and hopefully I can help myself and others who have similar problems. I've read up on USB problems the last 2 days from Galaxy Note users and Galaxy S2. They are very similar in design other than the screen/stylus.

Please keep us updated on your progress.
BTW to the folks having USB issues, are you having unusual battery drain? What other quirks have you encountered?
Has anyone compared the shape of the USB dock connector for Galaxy S, Galaxy S2, Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note? I wonder if they are all the same shape and if I should try and look at replacing that part only? If it is the same then I will get this http://cnn.cn/shop/samsung-i9000-galaxy-microusb-connector-p-10745.html since it's cheap and I've got nothing to lose if it doesn't work.
Looks like we have a new design flaw here..so, how long does it take for you guys to experience this problem from date purchase your note?
Mine already 1 month purchase and not having this problem.

I fully agree that it is a hardware issue. Samsung should come up with an extra dongle or maybe a protection circuit integrated with the USB cable that should be used in conjunction with the SGNote. Otherwise, this issue will just keep on repeating and they will end up with a bunch of bricked units on their hands.
If only I didn't like the display on this device, I would have opted for a change item instead of a replacement unit.
I still have the rogue iPhone charger and when I use it to charge an iPhone it keeps on repeatedly bringing up the charging battery icon on and off but it doesn't destroy or brick the phone. But when I connected it to the SGNote, it bricked it. I did it on 2 units. And it will surely brick any other SGNote unit I connect this charger to. I'm willing to demo this to Samsung to prove the point of their weak USB interface circuitry.

Like you I got the Note for the screen size because I don't like to read in small screens. I haven't had a phone in 6 years!!!! I've seen phones come and go. The screen size of the Note made it comfortable enough to read anything (PDF, comics, web pages, ebooks).
How sure are you guys that it is indeed the USB circuitry and not just the metal dock? To be honest I'm not sure right now.

Oh my! Looking at the charger flex assembly pictures, all I see are a bunch of passive components for protection. I see no active components on this board that would likely be used for over-voltage or over-current protection. I'm not sure if it's on the main board though. But normally protection circuitry are placed right next to the connector for them to be effective. There seems to be a lot of space on the board for even a single-chip USB protection circuit but the space hasn't been utilized for such.
I'd be willing to bet you that your problems will still be the same even after replacement of this flex assembly.

For me, about 5 minutes after I plug-in the rogue iPhone charger... I did it twice... and luckily, since I still have warranty, I got both units replaced.
I strongly suggest for everybody not to use any other USB charger apart from the stock charger that came with the SGNote. Of course, this excludes plugging it into a PC or laptop as they should be fairly safe and well-protected (at least for name-brand units).
If you're going to use the stock charger, I would recommend plugging the USB cable in the charger and plugging-in the charger in the wall socket first BEFORE plugging-in the mini-USB connector to your SGNote. This minimizes the chances of having voltage spikes being transmitted through the USB connections into the SGNote, especially during the actual plugging of the charger to the wall socket. This is to be on the safe side in the case that the stock charger design is also flawed and doesn't prevent transients from reaching the load unit itself.
Is there a website or something from which we can call Samsung's attention on this matter? If indeed transients are the cause of the USB problems then all they need to do on the SGNote is to redesign the USB board assembly and stick it into units that have not been affected yet. This entails a product recall or as I mentioned in my previous post, maybe to offer us SGNote buyers a dongle or a USB cable with the protection circuitry.

Yup on the service manual and on the links to alibaba that you provided on your previous posts. I looked at both sides of the sub-assembly and only found passive components.
Well I'm using a 2 amp charger from ebay for charging downstairs; a HTC 1 amp charger in the bedroom; the 1 amp Samsung charger in work, but I also plug it into the 800 mah charger that also charges an extra battery in situ. ... she's till working fine.
Right now, usb mass storage or MTP is totally non-functional for me. I'm still glad USB charging is working. I hope that parts holds up till I get a replacement for it.
Thank goodness for wireless and FTP!

Well yes, that's a workaround. You can still buy a Qi-enabled back door or just buy the paper that goes conected to the pins and place it between the battery and the back cover itself (I don't remember the name, but there are a lot in Amazon or Aliexpress).
By the way if you want this phone to be your daily driver, I suggest you to get it fixed. Wireless charging is painfully slow, phone cases doesn't fit with aftermarket Qi enablers or even the genuine back door and they probably don't work with the charging base either. Also with WiFi you wouldn't be able to transfer files or even flash roms between your phone and your pc as fast as with an USB cable. Now if it will be your secondary phone then sure, grab a Qi cover or get an external battery charger and problem solved. Good luck!

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.

Toasted my Battery Port

Amazingly I accidentally toasted my phone's battery charging port while sleeping. (My face mask fell on the device and the phone got wet from it)
I can't find any good source for charging port only and looks like my only option is to get the whole motherboard which is very pricey. Any one have a better suggestion for my issue?
I can't charge the phone anymore -last time I tried there was a stench of burning electronic, it will charge for a bit then stop charging inevitably.
I can't use it as tether or USB device to get my files.
I'm using my battery pack to remedy this issue.

I have a solution, although it may not be ideal. But you can buy an external battery wall charger. Then you can swap between two batteries.

Amazingly I accidentally toasted my phone's battery charging port while sleeping. (My face mask fell on the device and the phone got wet from it)
I can't find any good source for charging port only and looks like my only option is to get the whole motherboard which is very pricey. Any one have a better suggestion for my issue?
I can't charge the phone anymore -last time I tried there was a stench of burning electronic, it will charge for a bit then stop charging inevitably.
I can't use it as tether or USB device to get my files.
I'm using my battery pack to remedy this issue.

Look for a qi back charger that can be used to charge it wirelessly?

The shipping free for ebay hurts.
My current setup is interchanging 2 batteries and charging them on my battery pack
As per the wireless charging -- I was hoping I could still use my device as tether or as usb drive </3

Won't work with a metal back
The reason the port is not available separately is because it's soldered to the main board, not easy to replace unlike the headphone jack, loudspeaker, screen, and vibration motor

Battery or phone died

Hello,
New year I started with big tragedy. :crying: :crying: :crying: When I was on my PC, I found out my N910C was really hot. I took out the battery. After a minute I tried to power on my device, but without any effects. When I plug in charger to my phone there wasn't led signal. I tested battery with multimeter and i get 3.9V (which is not bad score, i think). So, what do You guys think, there is problem with hardware ( like burnt circuit board) or i should buy new battery with hope that will work ?
If the battery is giving off a charge, then it's not the battery.
If you wanna test how bad, take out your battery and plug the phone in to your USB using a wall adaptor, give it a second then insert the battery.
If it doesn't even blink, the whole thing is fried.
If it gives a quick blink, disconnect the whole damn thing post haste.
If it turns on like that, you're gonna wanna replace the motherboard.
Reason being for the three outcomes being that
A. It doesn't blink, there's no power being circulated to the motherboard. Which is good and bad. Bad cause phone done. Good cause, hey. It won't explode.
B. If it blinks then shuts off, the current isn't regulated and that can cause a lot of dangerous issues.
C. The phone can't pull a starting charge (which is easily fixed, but requires a good bit of knowledge on the hardware to solve)

The phone is known for hidden heating issues. That's one of the reasons someone came up with the EMMC fix

You don't need to be able to start the device. Its worth a try especially if your phone will not boot.
here is a link to the thread and video.

Thanks for advice, but it's still not working. Probably something burnt on circuit board or somewhere else, that can't be fixed. Anyway I bought a new phone, so I was reconciled with the loss of this device. :silly:
