Lenovo K4 note Charging Problem - Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Questions & Answers

Hi,
recently I am experiencing this deadly problem .
my battery drains completely to the amount that phone can't even boot . biggest problem is that its like phone is not accepting charge . after it loses all the charge,it turns off . when I connect charger it vibrates randomly . it feels like battery doesn't even have the charge to load that Lenovo battery charging animation page(while switched off ). phone goes to soft brick stage .after a few vibrations(I think phone is vibrating one time before loading battery charging page ,phone can't even load that charging page ,may be due to very low charge .so it vibrates and attempts to load battery charging page,and it goes off . again vibrates... somehow it recovers from the loop after some time )it loads battery charging page , and would stuck at 2%,or 8% etc... after long some 6-8 hours phone regains control and charge normally and everything coming to normal .I can't figure out what this problem is . only thing I figured out is that this happens when phone reaches a certain low battery percentage like below 20% .
after that phone will not accept charge until it goes off and all the above things ...
pls someone look into this matter ,may be someone else might have experienced this or someone can give me a clue

This problem has been faced by many users, including me. I thought it was only me, until one of my friends faced it too. Apparently, there might be a problem with battery stats. If you charge when it is fully drained, It will vibrate a few times. This happens because, the phone always keeps 2% of battery for the offline charging screen to load(the charging screen while off). But when the phone's battery is fully drained to 0% then it will vibrate and stays like that before it can switch on. So to solve this, charge the phone and leave it like that until its fully charged or like when you feel it is stuck(while the phone is switched off only). Then switch it on, and fully drain it again. Now once again charge the phone and leave it. Then drain. Do not remove until the phone until it shows 100%. Repeat this few times. This is actually to calibrate the battery stats. Now you'll see that battery charges properly.

Are you on stock or custom rom? If you are on custom rom, you can enable usb fast charging and charge it with computer. It helped me.

i've tested most of the ROMs out here . thought it could be a ROM related issue . macblaze,mohancm,zormax ROMs . currently on zormax's Lineage OS 13 (Marshmallow) . which one to you prefer?

No. It's not rom related issue. Each rom has some unique capability. Any rom is good. You can use Kernel Auditor to enable usb fast charge and charge the phone with any computer. This will work on any rom which has a kernel which supports usb fast charge

hii, guys i have problem too, unfortunately from yesterday, my phone doesn't charge but it is charging but not showing, it stucks to 42% and usb/Mtp is not recognized after plugin to pc.. i had shown all by pc side there is no problem in my pc but there is problem resides in my phone by the way i am on stock rom, pls help guyss to get rid out of this. I have done everything restart, reset but things aren't my side, i think this is hardware problem. i

it could be the battery?
mine reboots also when the battery is low & even when i charged it still re-boots then I realized i was using a 3rd party charger which does not have enough power to keep the phone alive.

use the usb connection on your pc to charge. if it charges then you have a bad wall charger. also try hard reset or flash again.
as for reboot with low battery...i've never seen this happen on my rom...my phone just shuts down like it's supposed to with a low battery. the reboot could b caused by whichever rom you are using.

A problem with charging from zero

Hi all , I've recently started having this problem with my n10 where if I let it die off on zero charge and then connect it to a charger ( proprietary , mobile chrgrs ,tried 'em all save for the pogo).the screen doesn't show anything and if I try to start it , it just shows an image with a battery charging icon (not the animation , just a static image ) for a while and then the screen goes black.
I've had this problem twice now and both times it seemed to return to normal after a while on the charger ( charging animation and all ). But I'm concerned that this is something serious . Any tips ?
Thanks in advance

You mustn't let it go down to 0%. You must charge it when the battery is around 45-50% more or less. Also you can check on google play, Nexus 10, they recommend what i'm telling you.

You're killing the battery by doing this to ANY Li+ battery. You shouldn't do that. Like above post said, or when at 10-15%, plug it in and leave it alone. What you're doing will override the safeties and permanently drain the battery, and potentially to 'true' 0%. When it reaches 'true 0%', you kill the battery permanently.
Thanks for your replies guys . The reason I was doing this was because of a few roms I flashed . After flashing, the battery indicator seemed to incorrectly show the battery percentage ( wouldn't go down below 90% for ages ) and I read somewhere that letting it shut itself off and then recharging would set things right .
Things are okay now but in case I get these battery indiacator problems again , what's the best recourse ?
Thanks in advance .

It could be your Phone Board Assembly (mainboard) and require RMA, in which case, they don't care if its rooted/etc. I had to send it in twice for that issue, as it turned out to be hardware, not software.
About 14 out of 15 times I fully drain the battery to zero. The 15th time I bump charge. I do this because I feel it gives better overall battery life.
Its impossible for me to state that (the above) without people chiming in about "how to do your battery"... Let me just say that I've researched that topic extensively, and am happy with my method. Please do not start a battery discussion thread jack here! Now, with that out of the way...
-You can drain your battery to 0% and not "break" any aspect of the device. When people talk "battery theory" they are mainly referring to the charge curve of the battery over time. Its impossible to harm this in "one or two charges", so if you truly do experience a problem then you may have a defective unit.
-Part of the behavior you describe does not sound broken to me. When the battery is fully dead, the unit cant power on. When you plug in the charger, the battery icon appears. It starts off as an empty battery. It should do a "charging animation" though, that I did not hear you say... Then, you cant power it back on immediately after plugging in the charger.
-The part you say about the indicator being off DOES sound like a problem that others are reporting here and there, and hands down dibblebill is an expert on that topic!
Sadly, I am. Keep demanding they replace your Phone Board Assembly when you call, otehrwise they'll swap your battery and send it back.

Phone doesn't turn on

Hi all,
I'm having a bizarre problem with my OPT. The thread title doesn't really adequately explain the issue. Basically, if I shut the phone down, it will not turn back on. It won't boot to fastboot, recovery, or system. There is simply no response. If I plug the phone in, then after hours (or minutes, randomly), the battery icon will pop up with a red charging light (indicating a low battery?). However, it does this even if I shut it down with a full charge.
As an example, I shut it down before i went to bed last night (with ~80% charge), and left it plugged in. I got up this morning to no sign of life, not even a charging light. I unplugged it, plugged it into my PC, and an hour later I hear the little "new device" sound, and suddenly the red charge light is on. I wait some time, then attempt to turn on the phone. Then I hear the "device disconnected" sound, and it's dead as a brick again.
It also does this once the battery gets full. Eventually after attempting to power on the phone over and over again, it will randomly decide to turn back on, and then the phone works fine until shut down/rebooted.
Has anyone experienced this or have any advice? I'm hoping I just have something corrupted in my boot files or something software/firmware-related, but it makes the phone essentially unusable (and I certainly can't install a different ROM or anything while it's behaving like this).
Hi
Flashed Bad file ? Power problem ? Dead battery ? Charger problem and / or cable ?
But I already had that on my OnePlus 1 and I just changed the battery ... If it helps . Good luck anyway !
Be tested no choice. Unless you have the guarantee and a lot of time to waste in OnePlus...

I haven't flashed anything recently. I got the phone in September... unlocked, rooted, flashed TWRP, but haven't done anything since.
It's acting like the battery is completely dead, and it needs some time to charge before it will allow me to turn it on. But the battery is almost full.

You often dumps your O+ thoroughly ?
Because if so, it's not a laptop battery after I could be wrong but from my misadventure with OnePlus 1, it tires more battery than anything else. (On phone) :silly:
That way I'm not saying Fakir but I think if you have the guarantee, you should try to open a ticket to return your Oneplus. :good:
When my OnePlus fully discharged for a while he puts around 10 minutes to re-ignite (Oneplus 1) it is also how I ****ed my first battery on the OnePlus 1. :crying:
Not try to completely unload the O+2 from...
I'm just trying to help. :angel:
( PS : I still want to clarify that OnePlus 1 when it makes a point that the battery is empty it puts at least 10 minutes to light if I have the logo of the empty battery in red, even super you tell you my phone is dead ! And It is not ! If you know how is the process of loading a battery. And if such is your discharge too fast or you have a problem or charging your battery discharges of a sudden, I tell you it's more than problable so that your battery is lame. ) ( Sorry 4 my bad english.... )
The battery wasn't dead, I just shut the phone down. I very rarely discharge it all the way. Battery life is fine when the phone works. It's almost like the charging circuit THINKS the battery is dead and won't let it turn on. I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software issue.
Actually I just turned the phone back on. I just kept pressing and holding power until it finally responded and turned on. But now I'm afraid to reboot it again, or i'll be without a phone for 6+ hours.

Software yeah maybe but i think its more probable a hardware issue, i dont know.

Sorry I can't help you any more, hoping that the community and champion these seeds tries to meet you too !
Did you try to do a full wipe and install stock OxygenOS 2.1.2 ? ( Without SU or XPOSED ?)
Good luck anyway ! For me it is 0:23 am in France and I'm k.o :silly:
Good night !
May the force be with you ! ! ! :laugh:

Battery issues

My phone's battery level is stuck at 35% and doesn't change on charging it over and over again. Left the phone charging last night and it was still charging at 35% in the morning. However if there's a drop below 35% level it shows on the screen but again charging the phone drains complete battery within a minute or two. The phone gets switched off and starts charging from 0. On switching it on sometimes it again starts draining the battery fast or stuck at some another battery level. Please help what should i do.
I tried reflashing rr rom freshly but it didn't solve the issue. Twrp recovery shows the same battery %.
Screen recorded as below.

Charger or phone faulty, either requires exchange under warranty, take it you are using cable and charger supplied with phone.
Do a factory reset just in case something has screwed up the OS, trying to charge with the phone switched off usually will confirm whether hardware or software problem, ie will not charge when off says its hardware.

I left the phone on charge last night in switch off mode but the battery level shows only 10% in the morning. Internally however it's charged 100% but the level is not showing correctly. Also since I've unlocked the bootloader, the device isn't under warranty.
what a weird battery behaviour!!
Whenever I start charging my phone using stock charger, it drains the battery within minutes instead of charging. Once the battery is completely drained out the battery starts charging from 0% and after a full night of being plugged into the charger it shows partially charged at different level when it's switched on even though it's full.
Is there no way to troubleshoot this or the right way to calibrate the battery?

already tried this in vain. The battery % doesn't change while discharging and decreases very fast while charging.

Contact Moto Service Center hope they will sort out.... Best of luck
Although I think it's a coin toss if it will help, try another charger and a factory reset... Moto service will want you to do a factory reset before sending it in anyway.

Almost the same with different battery percentage.
My G5 plus is under amazon warranty so I'm fine but I would like to know if there is a way to solve by myself and would like to know what the hell happend.
Have you solved this battery issue?
Thank you.

Not yet, only solution is getting the battery replaced. Now I've learnt to live with it, since the mobile needs to be restarted after every charge and the % gets stuck at some random value despite being fully charged.

I'll ask for replacement after Christmas holidays. Thank you very much.
I do also have the same problem. It just started a few days ago and sometimes I'd restart the phone and it will fix it and show the actual percentage been charged. But now that isn't fixing it anymore. However, as mentioned before the battery is actually being charged. So let's say it's stuck in 11% and I charge it for a few hours. Then I can use the phone for hours without going below 11%.. but how annoying when it gets there and all of a sudden you are running out of battery ?
Charging with original charger/cable. Do you guys think it might have to do with the turbopower feature?
Has anyone found a solution to this? I'm still under warranty for two more months. But it's always a pain to deal with warranty, you know no phone for a week or more... It would be nice if it can be fixed without going through warranty.

Random poweroff, battery not charging, drops to 0%

Hi,
I have a problem with SM-J320F - phone randomly shuts down, even when battery has decent amount of charge left. Sometimes it shows inconsistent amount of charge between reboots - 16%, 40%, 70%. Also have a problem with not charging(or not increasing battery level) when plugged in charger. Then after reboot it will charge normally.
Have replaced original Samsung battery, but the problem is still there.
Have tried factory reset, root and flash LineageOS rom - nothing helps.
Throw it in the bin?

Your phone battery is ****ed. Maybe next time don't use your phone while charging or charging it over 100%...
