I recently switched using to pro3 from max2. I have a small problem, now i found twice that the phone was completely turned off in the morning.
The charging cable was connected in both cases. I could turn it on by pressing power button few seconds. Than Android boots normally. But normal pressing the button does not turn on screen. I didn't try the fingerprint sensor (forgot)
Also, charging light was off even though the charger was connected. After boot, the charge was 100%
I am using LineageOS 15.1, but I remember seeing a scheduled turn off setting in EUI before switching. Can it be that I forgot the setting on before installing LineageOS. Can that option stick between OS changes? I assumed it should set something in processor to be able to wake phone up from total shutdown?
Were you using the stock charger?
I had issues with a stock charger shutting down the phone overnight I got one good and one bad one. Great phone but the chargers and USB chord are lousy quality. There are a lot of complaints about faulty chargers and USB chord's and lots of replacement recommendations in other Post's

Don"t charge overnight with stock cable.
Although the phone was connected to charger when this happened, I don't understand why you would think that the problem is the charger or cable?
In either case, it happened with 2 different chargers with different cables in different rooms connected to different power outlets. I use the same chargers to charge another Pro3 and also I used them with my old Max2 and nothing like this happened ever with those phones.
Today it happened again and before I restarted the phone I connected it to PC and PC finds the phone as `Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008` but I am not sure how and why it would go into this mode by itself? Is there a way to debug how phone entered that state?
It's well known that the stock cable can cause various issues, along with burned ports and unexplained shutdowns. The official LeEco forum is gone, but there WERE posts regarding this issue and pictures back in 2016-17.
I guess you weren't on this subforum back in those days, so you missed out on the various warnings. Darkobas and Code suggested that we NOT use them. Users ignored such warnings and as a result their phones stopped functioning properly. This is is very YMMV. Though it's not worth the risk.
You're not the first that has experienced issues, nor are you the last.

@Ace42 Firstly, how will cable cause phone to shut itself down? (actually, as we know now it was in some Qualcomm QDLoader device mode). Can you explain it technically?
I heard about those rumors about cables. To be honest, it feels like somebody was trying to spread FUD. I have bought two max2 phones and four pro3 phones and the cables were perfectly fine. Also a friend of mine bought one max2 and he had no problems either. But I have many cables and chargers because I like to have redundancy and easy access to charger in any room. So I use other cables and chargers. Had no problems with any yet. I am an engineer and monitor the performance of everything I use very carefully. Those cables perform up to specs so far.
Perhaps competitors of LeEco tried to cause panic. Then some people who do not have the necessary information or engineering data blindly suggest something which they can't be blamed for. I have seen it this many times. If you can tell that cable can be used or shouldn't be used, it is 100% safe to tell not use it
Other phones that rely on QC3.0/4.0, such as the LG G6 and Razer phone charge at about half the speed (1800-2100mA). The Pro 3, with the stock charger, will charge well over 3200mA throughout (0-100). It's running out of spec, and not in line with other QC phones.
The Razer, according to owners on XDA, will start over 3000 (until it hits 25%). Once it gets there the rate is effectively cut in half. Again, the Pro 3 will continue to hit 3000-4000 after 25%, and G6 has a constant 1800mA rate. So Samsung and LG phones from the SD82x era shipped phones that charge around 1500-2xxxmA. For some reason the Pro from the same year is much, much faster.
Also if you ask Darkobas (former dev), he'll mention proprietary code for the stock charger. So it's not the same as using Samsung's adaptive charger, or literally any other QC compliant charger. For whatever reason it's able to fry ports (which could be due to cheap parts in the phone), cause the phone to **** off, and initiate QFIL mode.
The last one isn't crazy actually. You can brick an Essential phone by using the stock cable. Now as you mentioned, the phone goes into a special mode (which is unheard of on other devices). That reminds me of these factory cords.
https://www.xda-developers.com/build-your-own-kindle-fire-factory-cable/
https://www.androidauthority.com/essential-phone-usb-c-cable-831817/
What I still don't know is where the problem exists. Is it the phone's board, USB cord, or something else? That's the real mystery.
You raised an interesting point by mentioning competitors. However, I'd rather not take the risk. You're better off using another charger instead of giving yourself a headache.
For the record, before when I most of the time left my phone charged overnight, it would still run fine with stock EUI. Now with custom ROM, this dreaded issue is happening consistently. You won't be able to turn on the phone unless you plug it back and hold the power button for 30 sec or so. And yes I am using the stock charger and cable. No burn in so far since Oct. 2016.

Galactic Stryder and Darkobas worked on supporting the stock charger. It requires additional work.
"Regarding issues with QC 3.0, beware that it has a throttle down mechanism when battery reaches ~40°C it limits input to 2,5Ah and also that it can reach 4,0Ah maximum up to 80% only if the battery temperature is below the threshold for safety zone.
This is the only Kernel using LeEco's charging mechanism with proper safety checks in a minimal manner for ZL1, of course the HW itself can adjust input even without the OEM code in place but it would be a risk to fallback on it without those simple checks.[/QUOTE] - Galactic
Running into this issue too now I'm running aicp, so I guess it's dangerous to use stock charger with these ROMs?

Actually, you are very wrong. Because laws of physics does not allow you to charge li-ion battery with same speed between 0% to 100%. Because the charger can't raise the voltage over 4.35V. Thats why qualcomm always put out figures of 0 to 80% when talking about quick charge. After ~80% charging process will slow down whether you like it or not.
You have spectacularly failed to explain why a cable can technically cause this issue on this phone. I recommend you to first try to understand why something is happening instead of quoting random people's thoughts. There is no guarantee that the people you quote know what they are talking about to begin with....

No reason to be worried, stock charger has nothing to do with this issue. Also stock charger works perfectly fine. @Ace42 simply does not know what he is talking about. Spreading FUD, you know?
Actually, in my device I even limited maximum charge voltage to 4.2V (only charge up till 84%) and it still turns itself off sometimes when connected to charger, even when the phone stops charging, also with different chargers and cables. Even with USB-PD chargers with type-c outputs and type-c to type-c cables. This clearly tells me that the issue is nothing to do with charger or charging voltages or charging speed, or cable. Also here it was mentioned that this did not exist with EUI and somebody who used LOS 14 says he didn't have it until he upgraded -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/help/los-15-1-zl1-leeco-pro-3-x720-shutting-t3846441

thats me who was mentioned upgrading from LOS 14.1. I have a detailed description of my issue in the thread that was linked above.
never had any problems with the stock charger. And my phone turns off when i am not using it for several hours, unrelated to it charging or not.
seems to be related to deep sleep I guess?
I have exactly the same problem. The phone turns off twice a week twice a week. An alarm does not work. Daughter is late to work .

So we've been combatting some finicky charging issues with my wife's new S5 for the past week.
I've worked out a lot of the weirdness due to the fact that my HTC M8's charging brick apparently doesn't work with anything other than the M8 (I have no idea yet what is different about it... 1.5A).
Anyway, despite this we have had no issues using the supplied charger/cable (only used it on first day).
We haven't had any issues using an old Droid 2 charger and cable (1.0 A I think)...although likely it was a slow charge.
But, since we've been out of town for a few days without all our cables, the only think that has worked with NO issue is using a 2.1A output power brick to recharge the phone. Also, it seems that the 2.1A iPad charger worked as well.
What is weird is we also tried 2 identical 1A iPhone charges. Upon first plugin with a 10' 24/28AWG cable, it didn't charge. I removed it and plugged it into the other one and it began charging. I then removed it and plugged it back in the first and it started to charge fine (and yes, I tripled check the connection on the first try).
In short, we seem to just have very strange results. Sometimes it will say it is charging for a few seconds and then stop and sometimes it will not charge using a certain combination, but when you unplug it, try something else, then back to the first it will work!
We've also had issues with the charger in the car where it would keep blinking her phone on and off with a sound. I suspect that this was due to a slow charge bringing the phone to full charge, then dropping (even though plugged in), then going back to full again. But this is just based on what my wife described.
Can anyone explain and/or tell me what the minimum required and the recommended specifications are for a charger/cable on this phone?
Hey Guys,
I really dont know what to do anymore.
My OPT needs 8 hours+ to fully charge everytime!
If I use my OPT to watch Videos it even drains faster than it charges.
The strange thing is if i shut it down and let it charge in the shut down mode ( with only battery visible on screen). The Charge time goes down to less than 2h. So a very normal charge time, that I experienced before.
It started the strange behaviour after i had OOS3 installed for 2+ weeks and never gone back.
Things i tried:
different roms: OOS2, OOS3, CM13, Exodu. Currently I am on Hydrogen OS-
different kermels: Boeffla, Sandy, AK, Stock.
different firmwares and recoveries (I know its useless but i tried everyhing)
wiping complete phone and reinstalling from 0 several times.
different cables / adapters and wall chargers. (Normaly using a 5-port 40w anker charger with anker cable. Every other config like car charger or orginal power adapter&cable same problem).
I have no problems with other devices like my tablet, powerbank, nintendo 3ds, Videogame controllers,... And even the OPT works but only if i shut it down.
I observe this problem now since the start of this month. Its so annoying i am basicly forced to have a power bank always with me.
I really hope you can help me
Could it be an update for one of your apps that has made the app run wild causing it to put phone under constant use? What does battery stat tell you about battery usage? Tried installing system monitor to check on installed apps and how much CPU time the use?
I googled alot and found something about ES File explorer that messes with charging. I deleted it now,
Other thatn that i only installed very common apps like whatsapp.... I dont think its the apps but its worth a try.
Running complete stock for 1 day with no 3rd party apps and recharge.
Same here...some voltage problem in your home....try charging turning phone off.
i would suggest you to use a voltage stabilizer in between your wall plug and your charger,
the one that you normally used for desktop pc

Same issue here. Tried every sort of things. Was initially on CM13 Seraph08, moved to Grarak, then back to OOS3. No improvements, as the OP mentioned the issues are observed from the month of May. It takes 7-8 hours to charge 100%. Did anyone approached service center?
Have your also tried different cables and chargers? As quality of the cables that came with the phone can differ, and also the chargers. Some chargers seems to barely be able to output 1A even, nearing USB:s 800mA charging.
i also having same problem check the charger and cable if u r in oxygen os factory test mode
So most of the answers havent read my first post prolly.
I finally got the OnePlus sup to exchange my phone. With the new one i have no more charging problems.
So i think it was a hardware defect but I am not 100% sure.
how did u get the exchange of the phone ??
was it rooted ??
if it is having a custom recovery will they reject the warrenty ??
please reply asap
Just an observation, Benschholds kernel seems to have fastcharge support. See this recent commit in his source:
https://github.com/benschhold/andro...mmit/b5d1eed20c12a9e9db5128ace98efa51b0a97e19
I noticed these values aren't updated in the AOSPA kernel source for our device, so I'm going to try flashing this kernel and see if it works with AOSPA.
Edit: interesting, the stock OOS2 and 3 kernels do not have these values. So this may not help, or maybe it does, who knows.
Edit2: I tried to flash Benschholds on AOSPA and it DOES NOT WORK! I had to flash the old boot.img using fastboot to fix boot loop.
i had the same problem
i also tried many ROMs and kernels, no help
but now it's fine i'm using another cable
just change the cable(not the charger head)
right now i'm using nexus 6p cable (borrowed)
A friend was having this issue, he said he fixed uninstalling clean master app
Sent from my ONE A2005 using Tapatalk
Yea same issue in Exodus ROM.. Oxygenos 3 didn't have any issues lyk this..
No need for fastcharge in this case, OP2 can already suck almost 1,5A by default and that is a significant number, if connected to original or similar charger with high current output of at least 2A. There are ways to see exact number, like in kernel config apps (Boeffla does it for sure) or by installing apps like Ampere. Compare your cables and charger adapters
Same issue!
My Op2 used to take around 2.5 hrs to completely charge .. Just after i installed cyanogenmod 13 my charging capacity got tooo bad. Its taking more than 5hrs to charge the device. After changing roms from cm13 the battery capacity has not Changed
According to me due to some issue in cm13 the battery charging time has become too bad. Please help currently on oxygen os 3.5.8.. when i use my
phonr while charging at times it evn discharges. Tried moto g4 plus charger due to which the charging time reduced a
bit.

Same problem here
It take 12hr from 2-100% charging, can anyone help. It happened suddenly, I dought on recently update by oneplus.
The phone was supposed to Quick Charge, it is doing slow charge, not even normal charge.
Can anyone help. I never used custom ROM on my phone.

Oneplus 2 was never designed to be Fast Charge ready.
I've had problems like: random reboots, slow charging, battery drain. But after flashing the (considered most stable) 3.1.0 firmware + Boeffla kernel everything was ok again.
But you probably tried it already I guess.
So YD206 about a month old. Was connected to official yota charger (via a magnetic usb cable), noticed the plug at the phone end getting quite hot. Phone now essentially dead, wont boot, doesn't seem to charge. We also realised the charger had come out of the wall socket. But the yotaphone light was intermittently flashing on the charger.
Whilst I am inclined to blame the magnetic charging cable, is it possible for current to flow in reverse from phone to charger and essentially discharge the phone battery below acceptable levels?
Any advice on rebooting it (can't remove the battery like I would on a Samsung) so whats the procedure?
Just a follow up charger not the issue, it crashed in use and the power button became non-responsive, with the screen off, and the e-ink display on but also unresponsive. Did not turn on when connected to a charger. However when I connected it to my pc it did register in device manager as MTP device, so I knew it was still alive. Removed the sim and held the power button down for 10 seconds then it rebooted.
Hope this helps anyone else with a similar problem.
Failing that it would probably have to be left to discharge (might take a while if nothing is running) then powered back on with charger attached.
I have similar problem. My phone got hot while not charging (about 15% of battery) and crashed. Then forced reboot (hold power button for about 10 seconds) helped while phone was connected to Yota charger, battery was dead, but phone booted (EPD on, did not check rest) and got to about 81%. After removing it from charger, same thing happened again, no luck with forced reboot this time. Phone was blazing hot and did not respond, then crashed again. No response after connecting charger or forced reboot. Any experience with this issue appreciated.

I am not sure about my warranty, bought it off AliExpress, I guess I could try to send it to manufacurer (i heard Russia provides repair service).
EDIT ( t + 2 days): I managed to start my Yota again. I connected it to computer and after about 5 minutes, magic happened and phone started all by itself. I will try to find out more, will update this as soon as I find something
Man, you are more lucky than me, I have a dead yotaphone lying around here. It also died after connecting it to a bad power source.
In my case it was the usb-port of a monitor.
When I checked the usb-port with a cable with a volt/amp display I saw that it was going on and off very quickly.
But so I would say be careful where you connect your yotaphone to, it does not seem to handle weird power sources all too well.

I actually thought about burning charging circuitry a lot. I wonder, if you would be able to test wireless charging. With some luck, it is independent enough to not be affected by burning micro usb charging route (depends where high voltage safety is implemented). If this make any sense to you, please give this a try (I think IKEA is place to go, they should have working wireless chargers in their model setups) and report back. If I am wrong in any aspect, I'd appreciate any correction with explanation.

Sorry for the late reply, did not see the quote, but it does not work with wireless charging either. I think the battery still has a lot of charge too. Thing is that the Motherboard also gets hot after a while when I try to charge it. I'm pretty sure my motherboard is dead. But I have another Yotaphone now, so maybe in the future I will test with every separable part replaced.
I use the charger from my iphone. It works great, although with the yotacharger also works well. Attention that I have a YotaPhone YD201 with Russian base and european compilation. Like I said the Iphone charger works great and doesn't warm my Yotaphone 2 . It might be a solution for your problems with charging.
When I put my Moto G4 Plus on the turbocharger, it keeps alternating between charging and not charging, and doesn't gain power. What is going wrong?
Recently I lost the turbocharger that came with my Moto G4 Plus. For the past month, I have been using ordinary third-party chargers which work fine. I got sick of having to wait 3 hours for my phone to charge and bought a Samsung turbocharger (15W) at a local store. When I try to charge the phone with this charger it keeps starting and stopping the charging process. Charges for a second, disconnects, charges for a second, disconnects etc.
Some added complexity; the phone is from the US, the charger is European. All my other (non-turbo-) chargers are also European and work fine.
Any ideas?

Check cable, grime inside the ports, connectivity. Temperature should be below 40°C.
Otherwise it could be a hardware problem of the phone too.

I checked the charger on another phone, and it seemed to be charging as normal. When I plug it into my phone it also charges, until the "TurboPower connected" message pops in at the bottom, at which point it immediately stops charging, then starts over again. Other chargers work fine, if slow, so I am going to assume it is not the micro-USB port. The battery temperature is 28,5 C. That leaves the hardware problem.
I have two issues with that diagnosis. First, it is remarkably coincidental that that problem occurred in the month that I lost my previous TurboCharger. Two, it leaves me with quite little options.
That is for me to deal with, however. Thanks for your time.

The phone negotiates the charging current and voltage with the charger to determine if turbo charging is possible or not. If some environmental variables didn't match within time it falls back to slow charging.
Those variables could be:
1. Any electrical resistance within the cirquit that drops voltage(cable for example or other connectors/components)
2. Temperature(not in your case)
3. Software failure of charging logic circuit or hardware failure
4. Something other? Don't know yet...

Yeah, I saw a lot of posts complaining about slow charging with TurboCharger. I thought my problem was different since the TurboCharger doesn't slow charge the phone, but stops the charging process altogether (after which it immediately starts back up again).
I'll see if I can get it repaired and get back to you on which of the four options it turned out to be.

So I have been running AICP 13.0 for a couple weeks and love it. I woke up this morning and my phone didn't charge overnight despite being plugged in. It shows it is connected (the lighting bolt in the battery icon on the top right) but the led light doesnt display and it doesnt say charging. Other weird thing is everytime I plug the cord in the volumne starts adjusting itself up and down automatically and now sound is not working (microphone or speaker audio). Battery is now draining and I cant get it to charge. Any ideas why this could be? I have tried it with numerous cords and charging bricks, did a factory reset but still can't get it to work. I am now down to 20 percent battery life and am worried I have a hardware problem and am going to be without a phone for a couple days.
Anyone experience similar things or have ideas to try?
Also leeco doesnt have a us website anymore, so how do I contact them for support if needed?
Only idea a hardreset or clear coch?

Well, go back to any eUI vendor ROM (basically, stock) and see if it solves the issue. Preferably the same firmware version that your device was originally on. It could be a hardware issue or a software issue.
Sounds like a faulty charging port. You might need to replace yours. You can find replacement charging ports on Aliexpress, and a teardown here: http://www.myfixguide.com/manual/leeco-le-pro-3-teardown/ (the phone has the same internals as other LeEco phones, so you can consult various LeEco teardown videos too).
EDIT: now, I don't know if this will work for you, but freezing the phone for an hour might also get it to start charging again, but only do this as a last resort if it dies on you. And make sure you put it in a plastic bag first (obviously).
Ok I will locate the stock rom and flash it, I havent looked for it but it has to be on xda.
As far as replacing the charging port....I bought the phone in June so it should be under warranty correct? Does anyone know how we would get in touch with leeco support? Do we still have a warranty since they shut down operations in the US?
I still have 16 percent battery (I turned it off once I posted here so I could have juice to try ideas you guys would come up with, so hopefully I dont have to try the freezer trick.

Have you tried a different lead? I've had one leeco lead go on me, i almost chucked the charger until i realised it was the lead
Ymm, often the cable is broken.
Yes I have tried numerous cables and chargers. It has to be a hardware issue as it is dead now and won't charge at all is my thinking. When I plug a charging cord in it displays several quick red led blinks where it usually has the yellow led for charging but nothing else. When I tried it with my car charger this morning it got really hot very quickly.

Sadly, the stock charger cable is known to destroy the charge port. If you have always used the stock charger cable, then that is probably what caused the issue . I had to get my phone replaced for that reason about a year ago. If you do end up getting it fixed, get a certified USB-C cable and scrap the one that came with the phone. So sorry man...you shouldn't have to deal with this.
