Axon 7 - Won't Charge when screen on - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

I had my axon 7 for over a year now, but just started experiencing a charging issue. When the device is on and I plug in to charge, it simply doesn't receive a current to charge. But when I shut off the device and plug it in, it charges and then when I turn on the phone with the cable still plugged in, it continues charging. What gives? I'm assuming it's a 3rd party application gone rouge because I switched chargers and none of them seem to work...how can I get to boot into safe mode to test it when the phone is on...and any ideas of which apps or processes can be the cause of this problem?

That issue it's driving me nuts as well that just started to happen last week I guess it's time to change battery or something I'm not planning to upgrade my device still on immaculate form and zero problems until last week

[Q] Help! Battery won't charge

Need some feedback, any one has had a bad battery yet? I had mine charging up to 85% yesterday and went back to bed thinking that today (sunday) morning will wake up and do some early stuff but I woke up late and had a dead Streak next to me. I left it charging overnight (I know it was only 15%) but you never know when you're going to need that extra juice. I tried turning it on, no luck, took the batt out tried turning on with only the mains plugged in, no go, I had blinking LEDS for a short moment then it turned off and that was it until I decided to jump start the phone (I don't recommend doing this to no one) with a BB Bold Battery (3.7V 1500mAh) all of a sudden I get the battery with exclamation mark, like I had a dead battery, I've only had the device for 2 weeks, also this is a Beta Unit I bought "AS-IS" but the problem was a simple restore and not the battery. now I manage to charge the battery in a raw way, just hot wired into a 4.2v DC. now the big question...
I'm at 40% battery it is draining very little, I would even say it is under normal operation, but i can't tell I don't have a SIM on it ATM. but I checked on "spare parts" to see status of the battery and it all seems ok but the bit that says BATTERY STATUS: discharging
No matter where I plugged the wire it is discharging, the phone is being detected on windows/mac any computer I plug, the phone does detect where the source is coming it says AC when I plug into the charger that came with, if I plug it into the USB of the computer it does says USB but it will never say charging, I even transfered files to the phone to test the wire, seems to me I have a crappy battery but just need more feedback, anyone has had this problem before? on any phone should I call Michael Dell and order another batt?
P.S. I have a BB Javelin had the same problem did jump started the battery and now the mobile is charging no probs and it DOES hold charge.
UPDATE: Ok guys any of you running 2.1 (8105) on your USA Beta (probably regular too) and have this issue about not charging, I went back to 1.6 (4399) issue is gone, I also had the crazy screen couldn't unlock/answer phone, will see if that is gone too, more than likely it is but I'm not 100% sure.
if it wont charge using usb or mains but only by jump starting it, then the streaks charging circuit is most probably f***ed.

[Q] Battery not charging?

I got my Nexus 7 yesterday (bought from Google Play), I played with it, installed apps, etc.... at about 11pm I plug it in to my factory charger which is on a surge protector, it proceeds to charge while I continue using it for 2 hour or so. When I went to bed I turned it off. I noticed the charging indicator (battery filling up). When I got home today I unlugged it and tried to turn it on...Nothing, so I plugged it into my computer, the charging indicator came up, I waited 5 minutes and turned it on, I then went to the store and when I got back I went to plug it straight to the wall for a faster charge, when I moved it it immediately powered off. After 5 min of "charging" I powered on and went to the battery summary page, it says 0% charging (AC). Its been here for about 30 min now, the usage graph shows a flat red line. Is my battery defective?
Nevermind. False alarm, thank God.:victory: My usb extension cable seems to be the problem. Also if anyone is curious, the htc usb cable works fine and is longer.
My Nexus 7 won't charge. I've tried 3 chargers, including the provided one, all of which work on several phones, but none work on the Nexus 7. And it's been a tedious few hours in a queue on the phone trying to get hold of anything to even start the returns process. I can only assume the stories you see when you google 'nexus 7 fault' are true and that many, many people are queueing up to get their faulty unit refunded or replaced. It's a shame - I've played with a working one and it's very nice.
I've had a similar problem for a few days now. When its plugged in, on or off, it will only gain afew percent battery even over a full24 hours. I broke the tip of my stock cable, so thats not an option but ive tried with several other cables with the same results. I'm afraid to use this thing any more unless its plugged in so since it may not charge once it dies. Did you ever solve your problem?

Stuck in wakelock after plugging in the charger, until restart

Hi guys so I bought a nexus 6p a month ago and been loving it. I almost have nothing to complain about except this issue.
After using it a few times I've realized that sometimes the battery goes down in less than 2 hours screen on time while sometimes it lasts for about 4 hours screen on time.
After monitoring the battery usage regularly I've noticed that the phone never goes to sleep after plugging in the charger until the phone is restarted every time. So in short I have to restart my phone every time after I charge my phone to prevent wakelock.
While this definitely isn't that serious of an issue its still really annoying and the nature of the issue is really weird because as long as I restart my phone after charging the wakelock never occurs. I've tried uninstalling all the apps, switching off Bluetooth and WiFi but still no luck. I doubt it's app related as it only happens when I plug in my phone to the charger. Does anyone have an idea what's going on and any solution to this?
Thanks in advance
Is this always using the provided wall charger or a 3rd party charger. I've had pretty strange behaviour when u used a cheap USB a-c cable with my car charger, had to buy a decent branded cable in the end.
My phone refused to charge off the wall charger after I used the cheap cable until I did a reboot. It might have caused wakelocks but I stopped using it pretty quickly.

Bricked phone due to faulty charger, what can I do to fix it?

I recently went on vacation this past Sunday. I had a good time, however, I didn't expect to come back with a 500$ paperweight.
The night before I was set to check out, I began experiencing problems with the charger I had brought with me. It was a brand new AUKEY 27W USB Charger, with a hella nice metal USB C cable from WGGE. Both of them had great product reviews, yet to my utter dismay, I began to experience issues with the charger only three days after I had bought it.
I went to plug in my charger and began to experience what I can only describe as a flickering power source. (the "battery low" notification kept on reappearing) I thought it was an issue with the ROM I was running (AICP 13.1 Official), so I shut off the phone to charge it without having the phone turned on. Little did I know, this would be the last time my phone would work.
The notification LED began to flash red over and over again when the charger was plugged in. I had experienced this before when I was using the stock charger and let my phone battery run completely dry, so I figured it was okay to leave it charging while I walked to a local 7-Eleven to buy a temporary USB-C cable to get my phone to 100% and then throw away. (i don't trust gas station chargers)
I get back to my hotel, and when I go to plug in my phone, I notice the red LED was gone. Strange, considering the phone was still plugged into the faulty charger mentioned earlier. I figured that the phone was charged and was on the lockscreen, however when I went to press the power button, nothing happened.
Uh oh.
My heart sank to the floor, as I realized what was occurring. I only began to use Android devices instead of iPhones back in 2016, and I had never had a phone simply refuse to power on no matter what I tried. I plugged it into the 7-Eleven charger, and I got no response. Worried, I brought the phone and the 7-Eleven charger down to the public computers the hotel was offering to guests. I searched for answers for 30 minutes, trying to see if there was anything I could do to get the phone to even get to the bootloader. I finally got the notification LED to flash red when I plugged the phone into the computer and held down the volume down and power buttons for 15 seconds. I had high hopes, yet those hopes were shattered when the LED stopped flashing only a few seconds later.
I tried every solution that was offered to me. I left it charging for 30 minutes on the 7-Eleven charger, I let the phone sit untouched for 2 hours, I even put the damn phone in the fridge for ten minutes as an act of desperation to get my poor baby to wake back up. My efforts were in vain, as my phone has yet to even power on, and I doubt it will ever turn on again.
Nevertheless, I ask you: what can I do to fix this thing? I'm not the richest person in the world, so I'd rather not purchase a new phone right now, and I love my Essential Phone. Its probably my favorite phone I've had. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, as I am at a loss as to what to do. Thanks!
I had a similar experience with my son's Moto z Droid. His cat chewed through the charging cable while the phone was connected. Same symptoms as your having, almost exactly. Drained the battery below it's safety threshold because it shorted across the usb-c turbo charger. Only way I was able to fix it was to replace the battery.
You may try leaving it hooked to a computer for a couple days. The USB port may trickle charge it enough to power up.
I've had this happen to a coupe of cheap phones and was able to get them back by removing the battery and charging it straight from battery terminals until the phone was able to boot then charged to 100% with usb.

One PLus 5 isnt charging

today my op5 stopped charging after dying down in the morning (atleast thats what i'm expecting)
first i thought maybe its charger issue or socket issue but after checking them to be OK i thought maybe charging port of mobile is out
but just atm i connected my phone to computer to saw that its actually connecting to my computer showing
"qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 com 5 connected"
Can anyone point out whats the issue exactly to my phone
at the same time i requested for a repair up also through their official website but still couldnt be able to figure out if its hardware issue or software
I have the same issue intermittently. Originally cleaning the port seemed to fix the problem then it came back. Sometimes it wouldn't charge at all, other times it would slow charge but not fast charge. Now it's back to fast charging as long as the cord isn't stressed. I ordered a charging port and if I can get the damn thing open I'll replace it and the battery.

Thanks mate ..good to know I'm not only one
I already requested for a repair if the problem is regarding Charging port and battery then I guess it won't be a huge setback on my wallet (<$100)
But now If I think about it..yeah I do face minor issue when charging ..sometimes it don't straight away do fast charge or so and stick to basic charge and then after some time it goes to its fast charge
Sounds like it's very similar to my issue. My phone is about 16 months old and out of warranty. My battery shows 82% health. Was as low as 81 percent but it went back up a percent. Lol.
One morning it died overnight which never happens. I believe I went to bed with between 30+40 percent and usually plug in when my alarm goes off in the morning and it's charged by the time I hit snooze the third time. This time something must have drained the battery. It only happened once and never again. It usually takes a long time to drain the last 1/3 of the battery and it doesn't drain much overnight when it's low.
The charging port I can understand having an issue because I work in the woods and it gets gunk in the port from my work vest (bits of tree branches etc). I had to clean it several times and it fixed charging issues then but not lately. I wanted to buy a replacement battery while they were still easily available and not very old. Now I'm not too rushed to fix it because it's been charging okay again recently and the battery is still almost impossible for me to kill in a day despite being at 82% health. That and I couldn't get the screen off with the suction cups I have.
Tried to print some pictures from my phone at Walmart today from my phone and it wouldn't connect via their usb c cable. I guess it's time to fix it sooner than later. Last time I had to transfer pics was for work onto the server at work. It worked but I had to keep from moving the phone at all or it would disconnect.
