I've used this phone for a very long time now, since 2018
My current use case is using it as a hotspot and running some server and torrent apps on the phone, it works well, 24x7, connected to the charger all the time.
There are times when the battery does not charge for some reason and the phone needs to be restarted after the battery fully drains, especially when dowloading torrents.
I remember an older phone I had long ago, Lenovo Zuk Z2 plus, it used to work without the battery connected, directly connected to the charger.
I have a inverter in place so I don't really need the battery in the phone for my use case, I would like to use the phone like a computer connected to the charger 24x7, I was wondering if anyone knows if the Nokia 6.1 plus would work this way i.e without the battery connected?
I would like to save myself the trouble of opening it and disconnecting the battery just to find out.
Thanks.
anyone?
So, I opened the phone and disconnected the battery...
and...
It does not boot up without the battery connected with the phone connected to the charger.
Probably a jumper is required, anyone know how?
So, I visited a mobile repair technician, and
He tried direct soldering to the battery connector port, which didnt work
He removed the strip from the battery and connected the charging port to it and it didnt work
He finally, put it all ack together and removed the IC on the charging board, that controls the battery charging, now the battery is always charged at 100%
Just thought I'd share with the community
Ps- What he didn't try was a using a diode, but he said that wouldn't work either

So my power connector has a problem. I can't get it to reliably connect. Just a little jostling causes it to loose connection. If this happens while I sleep, the power drains completely and my alarm doesn't go off.
Any idea how to fix this?
I'm pretty sure the issue is not with my wires because I've tried several - and tried the wires on several devices and they work fine.

It's the piece of (excuse my French)..........sh*t USB port on the phone. Mine has come loose too. Just got my warranty replacement and it freezes and the colors are off (like the whites are actually a light yellow.....wasn't like that on my old phone)
very true, you can attempt to clean out the usb port on your phone in hopes this will fix your issue. otherwise get ready to spend $5-10 on ebay and pick up a new port, of course you will have to solder this in so yeah, its a fun job
Mine has been this way since the day I got it. I actually just bought some Samsung micro-USB cables off Amazon that have a solid fit inside the phone, wonderful cables! Can't beat the price of them either.

The outcome was a little disappointing
So after 1 month of waiting, I received the flex cable+ usb connector + circuit board (all in one).
Disassemble/Reassemble.
* Phone still says (when plugged in): charging. But battery% goes slowly down. *
For months, the phone have been having problem with charging (or says charging but the battery doesn't really get charged).
Charging while phone off, charging with different chargers, charging with USB, charging with wall AC, charging with different batteries, charging after reset battery status, charging after CM10.1, charging after CM7.
Nothing works. Only putting batteries in an external charger works of course.
All hope for an internal charging was lost.
PS: As before, USB files transfer is fine, before and after repair.
I think there's a problem in the hardware
not in the software

that is a mainboard issue. i had the same one about an year ago. i've sent the phone to samsung bulgaria for service, they said it's the mainboard of the phone. they've replaced it, saved me 80$ for a new one, and the phone has been working like a charm for over an year. if your phone is still under warranty, restore its original firmware, remove any traces of root and send it for service. if you restore to its original firm and you get a charging paused. voltage too high notification then it's deffinetly a MB issue
So, I had to change my original Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime charger 'cause I lost it, and I went for AUKEY quick charger -> https://www.amazon.it/AUKEY-Caricabatterie-Caricatore-Samsung-iPhone/dp/B01AHYR04M, tempted by the possibility of charging my phone in less than the usual 2 hours.
However, I'm realizing now I probably did a bad move, since I'm reading many posts about how using a quick charger can reduce your battery life on the long run, some state they've used quick charge from the beginning (I mean right after they bought their phone) and they had to change battery or phone after one year and half more or less, not even able to reach more than 2 years, whereas some other claim they've always used a normal charger and their battery is as still good as the "old" times.
I'm thinking about sending the charger back and take a normal one, what's your opinion about it? Should I go for a charger with 2.0A in output?
R4P doesn't have Quick Charge compatibility in any case. It'd probably overheat like crazy even if it did.
Sure it has...

... see that circle around the thunderbolt icon? That means fast charging, when I charge the phone with a non quick charger, it only appears the thunderbolt. And it's also stated in the block screen, "Fast charging".
I have one a friend has asked me to look at.
It is totally unresponsive
I do not know what version of the A7 it is, as I see on the forum headers, there are 2 x A7 varieties, A7 10 and A7 30.
There is no sticker on the rear, and it will not start.
It has been charged over 12 hours with correct charger.
Have tried power/volume up plus power volume down combinations, no go. Tried holding power on for 30 seconds.
Screen shows no indication of starting, no vibration motion, nothing.
I took the back off, removed the battery clip as seen on many tutorials, reattached, still no go.
Multi meter shows battery at 3.1v storage.
PC (Windows) does not recognise the tablet is attached when connected to pc...nothing happens at all on the pc or tablet.
Any guidance please, as it is well out of warranty.
Thank you
Hi,
Still no go with this.
I am trying to determine whether in fact the usb charger point is actually supplying power to the unit, thinking there may be a problem with the adapter on the motherboard?
I have tried many chargers, all with no success.
This is what it looks like where you connect the power cable to the tablet, and I was wondering if someone could tell me, what points can I put a multimeter on the correct areas to see if the connector is my possible culprit.
Can someone suggest some locations, what outputs it should display?
Battery is a L1CP3/87/100 L13D1P31 Li Polymere Charging Limit voltage 4.35VDC Capacity 3450 MaH/13.1wH. I am using a 5V charger and cable.
Many thanks

Bought this phone as a secondary phone 8 month ago,,
And the USB Port has loosen up...
I bought the phone unofficially so no official service will offer service for me,
Can't I just change the USB C port to a new one?
All the available USB Logic board here are without the fast charging IC
I had this phone and swapped THREE charging boards. It keeps having the same issue and nothing will work. Tried different chargers too. I think this is just a flaw in the design of charging board. I unfortunately had to recycle the device.

The replacement charging board I received was different from the original.
And this is how I charged phone overnight for the contact with the board to keep charging the phone, otherwise it wouldn't charge at all even if the cable was jammed all the way in.

The available charging board here isn't good quality by looking,
I didn't opened the phone yet and I guess it's the USB female socket's issue, will changing this help a bit?
