Hello,
My sgs won't charge anymore
My battery went down a few hours ago, so as usual I connected my phone to the wall charger. after an hour when I went out cycling I took my phone with me and realized my battery level went even lower then before I charged it.
I thought that maybe the charger wasn't connected properly (something that happened a few times before) so I wasn't nervous.
When I came back and reconnected the phone to the charger and made sure the charger is connected properly I realized the phone isn't charging at all.
The battery level do not increase, and the phone gets hotter and hotter every second.
I tried with two original samsung chargers. same problem.
After a few minutes the battery died. When I connected the charger again when phone is off the battery animation did show up but with a weird yellow triangle (like the one on boot when using non stock kernel) next to it.
Then I tried to charge it using the USB cable, which did something as I could enter the recovery and do a complete wipe right after backing up everything. But, it doesn't change anything.
SO.. after the long story (soz) doe's anyone knows something about this problem? is there something I can do?

Help. Please

A search will find the same question asked ...
Answer = service centre .
But before that put a stock rom on a clean phone to remove root and set rom counter to zero and test battery charge .
jje
i have alredy replyed that but usually the problem is diferente kernel installed or rom installed, try to update kernel for an updated version.
to do that check the tread here.

So, 2 days ago I was charging my device (XT - 1562 Indian Version 16GB) and when I saw the phone after 2 hours the battery was still at 15%... so I got into the battery options to check if the battery was charging and it was showing "Not charging"(SS attached) so I rebooted my phone and it was still showing not charging, I also did a factory reset and still the problem was not solved so I booted into the fastboot mode and there it was showing that the battery is charging. I was confused so I thought that there may be a firmware problem(6.0), so I downloaded factory images of 6.0.1 and flashed them(the BL was locked) and still the problem was there then I unlocked the BL and flashed 5.1.1 and problem still persists. Guys pls help me. :crying:
Also please tell me how can I flash 6.0.1 again via Fastboot mode. I am still at stock 5.1.1
Edit : Update : Now I have installed a custom ROM (CM 13.1 by Temasek) and now the phone is charging like it should but it charges till 82~85% and then stops charging. Cant give the phone to the service center because I unlocked the BL.

Thanks for the reply bro. I have updated the thread so can you tell me what is the problem.
are you using the original charger and cable ?? charge the Device when it's off then turn onforum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782420
I'm having this exact same problem on my xt1575. I bought it from a nice dude on Swappa, but he seemed pretty green concerning phones in general. He rooted/unlocked it, then appears that he kept the stock ROM while flashing the franken kernel. I didn't notice this for the first day or two as I opened it and poked around for some signs of something loose/water damage: nothing.
I couldn't sleep last night, so all morning I've been doing what I can to play around with clearing caches, flashing different ROMs, and anything else I can find in the software side, but aside from somehow getting it to get past the previous cap of 4% to a whopping 25% before slamming down to 11% (percentages waver constantly), I'm stuck and desperate to figure it out. I've even tried the stock turbo charger, the stock charger for an old Moto X 2014, and as of writing this just now a Samsung quick charger for the giggles.
I have parts for all kinds of Moto X 2014/Nexus 6 lying around, so I took the risk of connecting a Moto X 2014 battery up to see how it behaved. It read the battery level around mid-seventies and didn't seem to drop at any exaggerated rate but still kind of bounced around a tad. It would charge at times, but otherwise still wouldn't show the battery as being charged. I didn't think too much of it because the 2014 is of course a different model at a much smaller capacity, so I didn't want to try leaving it on the charger for fear of overcharging. The only thing left that I haven't done is hook up the Play battery to another motorola because I don't have any screens to monitor progress and see how consistently it reads to determine if it's the battery that's somehow gone wonky.
So in summation/where I'm at right now: I'm having this same problem; I've tried both hardware and software tinkering to no avail; I feel this is still somehow kernel/software related, but I'm not sure how to completely obliterate everything to start from stock. Please forgive how scatterbrained I am right now, I'm tired yet wide awake and irritated with the whole situation; there's NOTHING I can find in the forums or elsewhere outside of stock replies like "are you using the original charger?"
My moto x play not change in normal it only charge in factory mode that to 75-82℅ only.

I have tried after battery fully drain, still it's not charging again I am charging mobile in factory mode. Is there any solution please help me. In factory mode i am not getting signal.
So no change in behavior. I did notice that when in TWRP that the CPU Temp value is crazy, and any reporting software says the battery is at -23.8° C and always cold, even on a brand new replacement battery (obviously send like that is what's keeping it from charging). I even went as far as to put a heat gun on it from a distance to artificially actuate any sensors and got nothing. The one time it did report normal temps it charged fine for a whole day but hasn't returned to normal since. This **** is maddening...
I know this is a long shot, but have you tried resetting the battery stats?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1699687
I had this problem but yesterday I can solve that
First I put stock firmware
Wait for fully discharge
And wait full shutdown
I put an moto g 2013 charger (550mA 5V)and led stay on around 5 min but not charge
After put Nokia n86 charger (1A 3.5V)5 min and not charge
After i put an orginal moto turbo charger
And start to charge wait for 9%
Turn on the phone
Clear battery stats with battery calibration app
Wait for full discharge
Wait for full turn off
I put a Nokia n86 charger wait 5 minutes vibrates and start to charge like the beginning
Any other suggestions or solutions? Still my phone only charges in recovery mode. I have a aukey fast charger. Tried different kernels and roms without success.
The solution with the nokia chargers seems really strange and i dont have that type of charger.
Regards
Someone fixed this? I have the same problem and can't solve it. I have cm 13 by temasek and the first time the x play charged up to 83% but after a full discharge and a clean of battery stats, I olny could charge it via factory mode, like in stock 6.0.1
I dont know why but after i opened the phone and disassembled the battery it worked after putting it back together. Disconnected the cable to mainboard as well as nfc antenna. Then carefully pried the battery out. Its slightly glued to the mb. Then I held power button down for a few sec as read in a different forum. Afterwards I connected power cable back but left the battery next to the phone. Booted the phone and charging worked. Than I reassembled the phone Ehen I was sure everything worked. I was about to change the battery but now it works. I flashed different Roms and kernels without any improvment before. After I got it working I flashed a nandroid backup of a resurection Rom image that didnt worked before. Now its running perfect.

So, may the problem be in the pins when the battery is plugged into the mb? I'll try that! thanks!
Still having this issue, the solution with the chargers didn't work for me, neither the battery solution, suggestions?
How to solve the problem?
Please
Same issue
My Moto X Play has the same issue. It will only charge in Factory Mode. I had this issue before at 10-11 months old and had it 'fixed' under warranty, now 2-3 months later the same issue has occurred. Of course the warranty is only 1 year...
Glad I am not alone in this issue but i wish there was an easy fix! Putting me off getting another Moto...
Same problem occurred with me( Moto X Play).
My phone was not charging, it was stuck in some percentage and was not increasing or neither decreasing while plugged in to charger. But when i put it into recovery mode, it charges. But that was not the solution to the problem.
So, i have tried factory reset.
but problem was not solved.
i googled for the solution, but couldn't find the right solution. And i was stressed (I have a girlfriend, and living in very distance relationship, for me a smartphone is very important).
And was thinking of buying a new phone but not the Motorola, but couldn't afford at the time.
At the same time, i thought of repairing it by myself, by fixing the battery properly.
Without thinking about voiding the warranty and Motorola support, i unbolt every screw of the phone. and finally , finally, finally i made it by removing the battery and fixing it again(charger was plugged while removing the battery and fixing, and phone switched off while removing).
And now my phone is charging properly.
Hope I have helped every person concern to this same problem.
Thank you
I ordered a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910T) last week on Ebay. It is a refurbished one sold by a seller named Cellfeee. On the first day it came with 0 percent. So I charged it with the generic non-fast charging charger it came with and it worked good until it suddenly turned off on 5 percent and I couldn't turn it on until I put the charger on. The next day I used another charger with a fast charger (not sure if the charger was broken) and it took 7 hours all night to charge but it strangely last for 10 hours and shut off at 20 percent. Is this a common issue? Should I send it back or order a replacement battery?

I have the same issue my phone n910t shutdowns at 20% and sometimes at 15% and phone won't turn on.but i can enter download mode and it remains on for hours
but when i plug in fast charger back it shows same 15% then why the hell it won't turn on ?
I think its nothing wrong with my phone not refurbished never rooted it definitely could be bad battery..
I have the same problem with my 2 year old Note 4 - bought a new battery but that didn't fix it. Phone usually shuts off at around 15-20% battery. However, when I connect the charger it shows 0%.
So, either there's another hardware fault which is misreading the battery level, or there's a problem with latest Android or Samsung app which is causing it.

Try this
Dial*#0228# and press quick start at bottom of the screen and hit yes.
This will clear old battery calibration status.
Then turn off the phone and charge to 100% and reboot
And your new calibration status will create automatically.
I did this and now my phone is not shutting down at 15 or 20%.

Hey trex.. i have the same problem phone shuts down at 15 to 10% but when it shuts down it goes to bootloop whenever you power on the phone it goes again to bootloop but once you connect the phone to the charger it boots just fine! I'm on stock rom not rooted, 8 month old phone. Did you noticed this behavior n your phone or it's just me .

I tried that with 2 batteries. I have bought a now oem one and it's worse than the 2 years old one.
I have exactly the same problem as everyone else, the phone shuts down at 20-30-40% and sometimes even at 50%.
Edit: I was talking about the *#0228# method.

I never face any bootloop issue. after i recalibrate bettery status its perfectly fine.but still sometimes when phone heats up a lot while gaming and it shutdown at 5 or 8%.
Maybe you flash a clean stock firmware and make factory reset after flash should fix this bootloop issue.

Thanks for your reply, it isn't bootloop as i described but it fails to boot if the phone is not charged enough( it should be over 5 percent) it will go to Samsung logo the restarts again unless i connect the phone to the charger.. very strange behavior! This started to happen after November security update.. i was thinking to factory reset but i have too many apps and without TB i will suffer backing up all these data 😣.. if factory reset did not help i will send it back to Samsung service center and let them suffer 😈.. thanks for your help trex really appreciated.. cheers

It might be a software issue. The battery still lasts pretty long even though 20% is like 0%. So buying a new battery didn't help. Did you try a non-oem battery? if so, did it do the same?

It might be because your battery can't supply enough power. I had the same problem and brought it to Samsung, they said I only need to change the battery. And since I had another backup one, it was fine and decided to buy 2 more batteries just in case. No more problem so far.

I have been unable to boot up my letv 1s device, I have tried everything listed on this forum and other forum to boot up my letv device. Including removing the battery and reconnect them back again.
Recently, I tried to repair it to local phone repair shop, they told me it needs a battery replacement. I bought the battery from aliexpress and replaced them, but it still doesnt boot up.
The repair shop gave up and gave me back the phone and told me the EMMC is weak (I'm not sure about this).
I disassembly the phones and try to figure out the problem, I am guessing the problem might be with the charging board, I am posting the video here hoping someone pro could help me solve the problem. I'm guessing its the charging board because everytime I connect the device to the PC, it kept reconnecting when I tried to FLash a new ROM.
Here are the video of the board kept reconnecting when I tried to connect them to PC

I really hope someone with more experience could give me more insight about this, thanks.
PS: Please dont ask me to charge the phone again with original adapter and cable, because thats the first thing I tried and I charge it for more than 24 hours already (I even tried to buy a new adapter and usb type-c cable). Oh and I tried connecting to PC with the battery connected also, and it kept reconnecting.
Hi, I also have same problem, but still no solution.
Hi @casper2201 , @softkans and any one with the same issue,
I too had the same issue. It started with the charging rate becoming too slow (1% increment in 25 minutes of charging). I switched off the phone and left to charge for around 35 hours straight and came to find it 79% charged. Then I tried flashing the LOS14 after LOS13 ROMs but in vain. I also fiddled with the Kernel Adiutor, still no help. The charge won't increase when the phone is on so I left it to discharge until it switched off. Then the main issue showed up with red light always on when charging and blank screen.
I also posted about it here, but no one replied. Then I took a leap of faith and went to a local repair shop. He confirmed that it was a hardware problem and the charging module needs to be replaced. Just now I am coming from the shop itself after picking up my phone. Its working fine till now *fingers crossed*. He charged me ₹1300 ($20) which is a little high for the service but it doesn't matter as he was the only one ready to open it as there was the risk of cracking the screen.
So, summing it up, if you have the same problem as that of mine then you need to replace your charging module and I think it will be fine.
Charging module replaced.
Current condition of phone.
The rubber bands will help the adhesive strengthen.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Yesterday when I was done with setting up my phone, I put it to charge and the same issue has come again. Its not charging and the "Red light of Death" is back. Today I'm going to the repair shop again and see what he can do now.
I think this is the end and there is no point throwing away more money on the device anymore.

Sir same thing happened with me....phone is not charging red light alert and display blank...please suggest me what can I do
I want my data back from that and its not starting my data is really very important I can't loose that
Help me and tell me what can i do so that my data will not loose and my phone starts
Remove display and disconnect battery. If it won't be alive again that's probably power management unit problem and you won't fix that way.
So earlier this week, I was using my phone with Google Maps like usual. I plugged in my vehicle USB port to the phone to save battery. I had +50% on the phone and 1A USB port. So after like 5 minutes of it being plugged in, my phone just turned off. I tried turning it back on and all I get is the boot screen, then AXON shows, and puff... Phone off again. I tried booting into recovery but phone turns off before TWRP finishes loading. Phone doesn't seem to be charging. Tried different cables and charger to charge phone but nothing. No charge light. Seems like battery is dead because the phone turns off during boot and battery not charging.
Nothing seems shorted. Phone been working great for weeks before this. BL unlocked, Debloated stock, TWRP. Any ideas other than sending back for warranty? Luckily I still have my S7 as primary but I had my Axon for primary for my trip for real world daily use. Needles to say, photos and videos are wanted off the phone.

Have you tried going to bootloader mode by holding power and volume down
If the battery has died, then the phone wouldn't turn on is my thinking as everyone you then it on it eats some vattwry
You didn't mention specifically, but have you tried using the factory wall charger & cable and leave charge for like an hour?

Original charger but with certified Micro-b/USB-C cable I've been using for weeks between my S7 and the Axon.
So I left the phone alone for the last few days as I was busy at work and Just didn't feel like messing with it when I got home. I tried to turn the phone on but battery was dead. The quick flash of red led was the indicator trying to power it up. So I used my Samsung charger as it was right there and the original ZTE cable. Phone lights up charging and so I left it as is to go to work. I get home, the green led is lit, so I'm hoping my phone will power up now. Nope, right back to my original issue. Power on phone, gets to Axon logo then eventually turns off or goes black screen. I tried booting into recovery but turns off before fully loading. I try to charge phone again but no led indicator.
So later today, I'm going to try to boot into fastboot and try the new TWRP recovery. Maybe it was enabling r/w on system that caused this. I had downgraded to unlock bootloader and then installed ZADmix. I've been usuing it nonstop for 2 weeks with no issues. I have xposed installed so I know rebooted a few times to get everything working and it never turned off since then.
Really frustrating as that's the phone that had my pictures on it.
Hi @RoninBlackSoul, so what did you end up do ? Have you found any way to bring back the Axon from the dead or sent it back to ZTE for repair / replacement ? Same thing just happened to me, and for me Axon 7 is my primary phone ... if the phone is really dead ... will neve buy another ZTE phone ever !!!

Honestly not sure what did it. After battery drained, plugged it in to charge for 2 or 3 days. Then remembered some note about enabling write access in TWRP (something like that) would cause bootloops. Which is weird, rebooted the phone a few times when it was working.
Any case, I reflahed the recovery/bootstack in EDL and got my phone back. Been working great 5 months now

@RoninBlackSoul, thanks for the feedback.
Got mine working also, my phone was not charging at all. After suddenly rebooting and battery went dead fast, phone was not able to charge for about two days. After which, suddenly started working again, was able to charge and works normally now. This is weird. From my point of view this could be: 1. some sort of auto-protection perhaps or 2. an actual hardware design issue that manifests at random (for some after few weeks or months after purchase). For the 1 point: I was using a non original cable using the original charger, and the USB type c plug was hot at the time the issue occurred. Perhaps due to that heat some protection mechanism manifested that got reset after phone was completely out of juice. Will use only original cable with the Original Fast Charger from now on, as the usb-c plug of the 3rd party cable was fine with a normal charger (non QC3). Hope issue will not manifest again or, Axon 7 will be my last ZTE device ...

I only use good chargers rated for QC or 2/2.4 amps like samsung, anker, aukey. Haven't had issues since. Plus certified type-c cables at all times
