Please search the forum why turbo charging isn't working. There are more then enough posts/threads explaining everything :good:

You might need to replace your charging port. I've had this device for only 2 months and out of nowhere it stopped charging properly or sometimes not at all. Brought it in to a repair shop for inspection, they said I needed a new charging port. Getting it repaired tomorrow, then I'm selling this crappy device and getting something better.

Ghost Touch while Charging!!

Started using Moto G4 Plus since yesterday and I'm seeing this weird problem. Phone works perfectly fine with no issues but whenever I charge the device, I'm experiencing ghost touch and severe lags. Unable to control the touch and it works fine when its not under charging. Tried different charger and still the same problem. Anyone experiencing the same problem? Should I go for replacement? Please let me know.

Surely, I don't have that issue. While charging, my device gets a bit hot but never had any touch issues. Touch and display are the best part of this device so I would recommend you go for a replacement.
Experiencing the same from the day I received mine. So mine is a defective one or is it normal?

Same issues on my new Moto G4 Plus while using the default turbo charger. Used another charger and no issues yet. Thinking of replacement.
It happens with me when the battery is less than or close to 15%. Otherwise no issues.
This occurs with a charger that supplies current at 2A for me. Ground the charger, or use a lesser amperage charger, and the phone works fine. The problem is with the charger, and not the phone. I believe you will face the same problem if you replace the phone. You can't get it fixed with a charger replacement either.
Of course, that is no justification for the issue.
I got my g4+ just yesterday the only problem I'm having with it is that it gets extremely hot while charging for evn 10mins so I changed back to my old Sony charger n it's working just fine no heating issues while over iseage or gaming(online MC4) or charging either....
But it problem is different....
Still I suggest u to try using a 1A or 2A Sony or Samsung charger n it shld b fine....I guess
Same problem here. Returned the phone.
can someone explain what is ghost touch & i really don't get the point what does it mean.
just planning to buy this device in this week.

It means when we connect the given(turbo) charger to phone....the phone starts to take random touches on the screen ( till the phone is locked and reopened) The frequency of the touches are so high that we can't even open the settings menu..... It seems like this issue is with only few unlucky ones, better to replace the phone at service centre!
same issue for my g4 plus too.
I also reported this issue to moto forum, i was not aware it is ghost touch.

Is this bug in device or charger issue ?
I am facing this issue when connecting device to laptop using usb cable.
going to format device and check again if this is present or not, any one already tried this?

This happens only if you're using a duplicate charger, try charging your device with other branded chargers like samsung, asus and check if the problem is resolved. if the problem is resolved, replace charger. cheers

Its pretty bad. Its not just the over heating, its the throttling part after the heating that's a pain in the....
Within 10-12 mins of continuously taking pics the camera ui starts lagging badly and within 15 mins the camera app just crashes. The threshold for taking videos is even lower, as within 2 minutes the camera starts having problem keeping the focus and the camera app just crashes around 2 n a half minutes of taking videos.
If u haven't yet bought the phone, and camera is a priority don't buy it...

Today is last day for return of my moto g 4 plus.
Have same issue of Ghost touch & overheating while using camera & charging.
A bit confused since don't have any other choice of brand/model.
6 of my friends returned their phone since was with no solution even after replacement.
Any clue if issue can be resolved with OTA ?

Ghost charge can be solved by using a different charger. Please note that i haven't personally had this issue, but saw most people commenting that the issue went away after using another charger.
About the overheating in general, we have been breaking our heads on the lennovo forums to make them understand the issue but they keep saying that the heat is normal and the forum Manager in his solution said that they can't do anything about it.
About the camera app, they said they are looking into the issue and working on a camera update that will allow for longer video recording durations. But that just means that we will still have to adjust and if u wanna record something that's of a long duration, for example a music concert, u will probably never be able to do that on this phone..

I have discovered here the solution for this too, my xt320 and xt687 haves this problem. Do the following:
Charge your phone with the entyre charger cable in rect line.by a long distance between the charger and the phone.
Doing this, the screen works well, because NO magnectic interference is generated by the charger and No captative magnectic interference
By the touchscreen
That is all.

That's interesting. Probably explains why i have never faced this issue. Whenever i use the phone while charging i make sure that i am using the full length of the wire and the charger is a bit far away from the phone...

SM-N9005 LTE Charging at an incredibly slow rate

So I recently installed an unofficial Lineage OS Rom and replaced the charging port of my Samsung SM-N9005. Had some battery troubles here and there, but this new issue take the cake. On the lock screen, it says it is charging to full in 17 HOURS
I have no idea what could have caused this since it only recently happened with the same , and even launching Lineage OS in safe mode will still show 17 hours to charge.
Will changing to a stable Rom help? (Running 14.1-20170426-UNOFFICIAL-hlte)
Flash your stock rom and test .
Battery calibration takea a week or so of use.

I remember trying Resurrection Remix (I know it is not the same ROM) and when I connected the phone, it always showed "Charging slowly" on the lock screen and it charged normally which made me think it was highly inaccurate. I'd say you might have a similar issue as to where it won't actually take the full 17 hours to charge, it just says that because it is inaccurate. I'd try another ROM instead or try this ROM out for a couple of days and see if it ACTUALLY does take 17 hours to charge.
Edit: Oh and by the way, replacing the charging port is not always a solution to an original problem. What I mean by that is that I once had a phone and I replaced the charging port and right away I noticed it didn't charge as it used to charge, it went way slower. Port replacement is very tricky and if done incorrectly, your phone won't charge as it needs to.
I had to replace the charging port as the bottom half of my phone dropped in water, if not it would never charge. Thanks for your help, I'll try out your suggestions!

Galaxy S5 G900F - Overheating when charging / Battery drain / HELP ME

Hi Guys,
Hope of you experts can give me some tips because at this moment I can't afford to buy new phone so...
My Galaxy S5 is showing big issues to me, when its powered off and plug in to charger (wirelles DIY charging + and - to wireles charging pins on phone with using original Samsung charger, my charge port isn't working so this is my last resort, please don't judge me I simply can't afford new phone ) It bercomes really hot. Also when I power it on it becomes hot too (around 47celsius) and battery drains fast. In past I didn't have this problem, yes it was charging really slow but at the end when it reach 100% my battery lasts for two days (using greenify, and with all low settings) ...problems started two days ago. Bad thing is I can't connect it to Odin and make factory reset to stock rom so I wipe all and install fresh custom rom (XxX no limits, full debloated) from my SD card, but problem is not gone. I check out battery on my table and it is ok (also battery condition says: good).
What I can feel is not that battery is geting hot but cpu. So is there any chance to fix that? I already try several apps but with no luck
Maybe you guys can give me some tip like how to back to stock rom (and kernel) but with install from SD card as I can't acces Odin because of bad charging port....or any other tip is more than welcome as I can't afford new or used phone and S5 is still big thing for me according to its performance and other things...please help...
Thank You!

Replace the god damn daughterboard with the microUSB 3 port. It will be better than going further with your stupid "wirelles" charging idea which can damage the phone. Don't be that cheap. Earn more money. Why did you buy it if you can't afford to keep it running?

Hi dear friend, tnx for your kind reply,
Well... I got 16yo, don't have adress (you never know who is on the other side of the line and whats the story behind) to even order it from your family. I got this S5 as a gift from my mother who pass away last year. After spending some time with this fabulous phone (yes, I open it and reasamble even without heat gun )...I menage to fix it.
Everyone of us got that courious technician inside and lucky to me I go to technician high school so I know the basics of safety...etc.
Now I got almost new S5 (battery lasts for almost two days) fixed all by myself wich proves power of the will and quality of components that Samsung puts inside their phones.
Long live Android, Samsung and all other open source runned phones...also want to say special tnx for one high reputable person from this forum (he insist to stay anonymous) who encourage me on private msg to keep investigation as I refuse to recive his old android phone.
Sometime you gotta (or need) do DIY. <3 XDA ...Keep it going! <3

LG G3 Dead?

Hello guys.
I had the "SIM not found" problem sometimes, and gave the phone to my sister to use it as a tablet since her phone is very slow.
This night i saw the phone is dead. I tried to plug it in, leave it for 10 minutes thinking it had no battery and still nothing. I pulled out the battery and put it back in and nothing. Completely dead. When i connect the phone to the laptop, no signs, the PC doesn't recognize it. There are no solutions? Warranty is void since i replaced the display some months ago.
If there are no solutions, a motherboard replace from another g3 with broken display should work?
If it does matter, I was running the last version of Lineage OS.
I think i have bad luck with LG's since i have an Optimus 4X HD in same state.
Thank you and have a good day/night.
Hi
My story is nearly the same as yours, I wrote about here.

I found this thread maybe it's interesting for you @Igoritza did a great job here..

It worked!
I read this when it was in oven already.
It was risky because my oven is on temperature levels(1,2,...,5), not degrees, but it worked.
Thank you, XDA, you made me able to make my little sister happy :victory: . Hope it will last until I will get a display faulty G3.
Now I saw I posted on General and not on Troubleshooting section. If one admin can move it to be seen by others with same problem, it will be great.
EDIT: Still works after 2 weeks.

Strange Bootloop :( Phone dead? (x720 BaikalOS with Sergey's thermal)

Hi
I am on this phone since it released so i think that i am not a noob in flashing this Phone but now i have a realy strange Problem. Maybee my Phone is dead
I am on BaikalOS since 3 Weeks and have installed @tsongming recomended thermals from Sergey. It was working flawessly since 1 week.
Today i charged my phone form 30% to 80% and disconnected it from the charger. After this it was really hot Feeling in my Hand. I removed the bumper and was waiting too cool down. After 2 Minutes it started rebooting from itself but stucked in bootloop with a scary sreen. I see the leeco bootscreen and it went to White and black lines over the whole screen. Same Picture is when i try to enter recovery mode. So now its in Fastboot mode since 1h and its colder but i cannot boot into recovery or System (bootloop)
Should i try to Flash a stock Rom in Fastboot? I dont want to Damage the phone by myself so i am asking before i will do more.
I hope the motherbard is not dead
When i plug the phone to PC in Fastboot i see "Android Bootloader Interface" from "LeMobile" in the devicemanager.
Fastboot reboot comand works and AIO Tool Shows "fastboot device Ready"
Hope i can Rescue my phone.
Best regards Daniel

Sorry to hear about your phone: To be clear the thermals wouldn't cause that type of affect. In Fact, the Sergey thermals are exactly the same thermals that are already used inBaikalOS...They are native to that rom. So if you were using that Rom and you flashed the Sergey thermal you actually didn't change anything by adding the Sergey thermal. Because it was already being used.
Also the Sergey thermals actually have heat and battery protection measure built in : See my breakdown of thermals here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PXD91uBEs0hYvU1tMBq6Ld9Jc7Mm1FZxzwtsLwcmR6o/edit#gid=0
Here is the Github: As you will see the thermals would not cause this type of issue: https://github.com/BaikalOS-Devices...mmit/fc2ef2622ee4dbcbc4c6be512ca11825a37a4626
Now what could cause an issue is if you used a kernel manager and overclocked the cores with the MSM thermal turned off or set too high. But that would have to happen manually. Another potential cause is the usb C cable or charge block caused a short.
Have you updated the Rom recently, did you have Delta enabled, there was an update yesterday, that made my mother's phone hot. So I migrated her to Lineage.
Can you take a picture of what your screen looks like when you have the issue. and post it here.

If your issue is the motherboard, of course I hope that it isn't. I found a replacement board here:
This is much less expensive than what they were charging in November when I needed a new motherboard.

When you get the message take a picture and I will be able to tell if its a hardware issue or not.
There a symptom that can be resolved by using Qfil, and the other symptom is a solder short. Which technically could be fixed by resoldering the chip connection, and you would not need any parts. unless the heat damaged your LCD.

Thank you for your everytime very long and good reply
I know that BaikalOS and the thermals couldnt be the reason of damaging the phone. It was just for explaining what i have done with the phone.
I didnt upate the phone since 2 weeks or later, dont know. I wanted to update it yesterday and before i wanted to charge the phone a little bit. I think the fault was to use the original cable and fastcharge block..... but my wifes phone was charging with this setuo since an half jear so i didnt think it would damage it. Now i Know it better
I unplugged it at 85% and it was really hot. After 2 minutes it rebooted itself and was in a bootloop.
As i told i flashed the 23s yesterday via fastboot and know the strange screen only apperars when i try to boot into recovery. (i tried at first to boot into stock recovery that didnt work. After that i flashed TWRP 3.2.3 via Fastboot and i isnt working too.)
If this is a Hardware issue i am thinking about buying a new phone because i the le pro 3 is over 2 jears old and the battery is going to be bad faster and faster. So i was thinking about to change it for an month. Also the screen is showing an jellow circle in the left upper so i wanted to change it too.
When i would change this 3 things of the phone i dont know if its worth to do that when a new poco f1 only costs about 350€ direktly via amazon.de

Oh I am sorry, that is definitely a hardware issue.​In fact, it is the same exact thing that happened to my older now a paperweight X727. Sorry for the bad news.
Its possible that one of your solder connections melted, and you may be able to repair it by disassembling the phone, taking out the motherboard, remove the heat shield, add flux and solder and bake in the oven for 8 minutes at 400 degree Fahrenheit. Its called a reflow.
https://www.win2uit.com/reflow-soldering/
Here is a link where someone had the same issue and repaired there phone using this method. : https://forums.androidcentral.com/lg-g3/578393-why-my-lg-g3-boot-looping-blue-screen-2.html
I am going to try this method myself at some point, but I need to order a new lcd first.
I broke the LCD when taking apart my old phone.. If successful, I will create a how to tutorial since they are practically nonexistent. I have never tried it before, so it will be trial and error. But, there is no risk that old phone is just sitting in a box collecting dust.
I used to work with a guy that was a master at repairing computer motherboards using the reflow technique, I need to try a locate him, its been years since we last spoke.
Again, sorry for the bad news. I hope your replacement phone is something amazing. Although, many people are waiting until an inexpensive phone with a snapdragon 855 comes out. For me, the Poco phone still seems like a wise choice for $300 or spending a little more and buying a One Plus 6. Of course there is always the option of buying phone with a snapdragon 710 for under $300.
Take Care.

For me, the Poco phone still seems like a wise choice for $300 or spending a little more and buying a One Plus 6. Of course there is always the option of buying phone with a snapdragon 710 for under $300.
Take Care.

Thank you for the reflow infos.
I will try it when i have some time and if i am able to put the srceen of without breaking it
About a SD855 i was thinking about it too but i need a new phone fast because i need it for my work. I hope the poco will be nice, but i think so because there are many developers working on it.
I also don´t think that there will be an SD855 for about 300 to by and a new Poco F2 or something else isnt in plan. Maybee the first "Cheap" SD855 will come out in the end of this year.
There are 3 other le pro 3 in my family so i will read and write here too

My brother just bought a Redmi Note 6 for $200, and its Hella sweet. Check it out if your budget is tight.

Congratulations!
One thing about Xiaomi, they build quality devices and they are large and successful, so they aren't going anywhere. ( Like out of business anytime soon)
Plus they have an army of developers, with a Xiaomi device you have practically every option available when it comes to numerous versions of stock based Roms (which personally I love) or the multitude of available Roms.
The SD 845 is about 50 to 60% more powerful than our Leeco's and at its extremely fair price, I think its crazy to even consider spending more, unless you must have a glass back or a Amoled screen.
When you get everything setup, please let us know what you think about it. Thanks.
Hi just r recived my phone now. First impression is what you say its pretty fast and not bad quality. Battery etc i will tell you later. But the speed is really insane ?
Hi again. I finally rooted the device now and installed MIUI 10 stable. Now with magisk frankokernel servicely and naptime the battery is incredible good. 0,2% per hour in idle. Very cool. I only charge the phone in my car while driving with Android auto. It's enough power for a day. (I am driving about 1h every day. With maps, Amazon Musik, blitzer.de etc running.)
I have 2 Sims inserted and always lte, GPS high and Bluetooth for mi band 3 aktiv. Very impressive.
Also with MIUI 10 notifications are great. Never missing a WhatsApp etc. I think there is nn to flash a custom rom this time ?
So I would say it's a nice phone for this price. As it has no anti rollback and warranty also with open bootloader. The redmi 6 has anti rollback so it's not so friendly. Also it's not worth to buy a mi8 or mimix3.
Very happy with the new friend.

That is a an awesome review!
I am leaning toward the Poco myself. Although I was also considering the Mi8 Pro, I don't think its worth almost $200 extra for the Amoled screen when the POCO has everything else...spec-wise.
Thanks
