Phone won't turn on or charge, found a solution but... - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Hi, I have mi 5 phone and last week he stopped working while the battery was 70%. I read other theards in the forum until I found the answer - it can be fixed by disconnecting and connecting the battery again ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71035343&postcount=4 ), I was suprised to see that the phone came back to life - but after this the same thing happened two times this week...
So I got a solution, but this is something like using a car you need to connect to other car to ignite. Do you guys have a solution? maybe it's something can be solved by software, or buying a new battery? thanks! :laugh:

HTC MTeoR Battery???

Hi guys, I've recently bought a MTeoR and was loving it. I wake up this morning and LO! the battery indicator has the little X in it. (the manual says it is faulty or that there is no bettery. and i promise there is!!!)
I really, really have dont nothing to the phone since purchasing it except put music and photos on. Is there anything i can do OTHER than drive to the place i bought it (miles away)? Is this a known problem?
I have tried:
- Taking the battery out (Resetting)
- I have also done a complete restart!
- I have tried the USB cable (which was working fine) and the AC charger all over the household. It wont charge coz it thinks there's no or a faulty battery.
im really quite sad here... lol...please some1 rescue my day!!!
thanks,

Battery not recognized and will not charge

I have searched the Internet and forums for days and can't find a solution to my problem. I have found a few with the same problem, but no solutions. Please help!
I have a Sprint HTC Touch Diamond 6950SP (DIAM500) running the original ROM. A few months ago and for no apparent reason, it stopped recognizing the battery and stopped accepting a charge. I haven't messed with the phone in any way or attempted to load a new ROM. The Power Status screen simply shows, "Main battery: Unknown". Plugging the phone in with the supplied charger will actually discharge the battery and the circular LED does not come on. I tried several soft and hard resets; then I downloaded and flashed the ROM with the one from the Sprint web site (WM 6.1 Professional 5.2.20764/Build 20764.1.4.3), but nothing seemed to help. I found that I could get the battery to charge by removing the battery (with the phone plugged into the charger) and then putting it back in. When the circular LED flashes twice, I remove the battery and wait till it flashes two more times, and then put the battery back in. This takes many attempts, and eventually the LED continues to flash and will charge the battery. I did this for a long time while I searched for a solution, and one day, it just started working again!!! The phone worked great for several months and suddenly, it has started doing the same thing again.
I decided to upgrade to WM 6.5 and downloaded all the necessary applications, (many thanks to XDA and friends). But, when I attempted to flash my ROM, it stopped and indicated that my battery was too weak - even though I new it had a full charge, (see battery status, above). I've checked the battery with a multimeter, therefore, I know it has a full charge. I don't have any other problems with the phone, nor do I have any problems with it sincing to my computer. I have since ordered a new battery, but it hasn't arrived yet. Someone please help.
Thanks.
I have read at other posts that the Diamond's battery has a recognition chip in it. Also, without the battery, it will not run from the charger. Could the chip in the battery be bad? Has anyone else had this problem?
Is there a registry fix (or tweak) for the battery status? Please, one of you must know something about this.
Got my new battery - the phone does not power up, charge or anything else with the new battery. I tried charging the new battery with the method I've tried before, (see above), but it won't even light the circular LED. I checked the new battery with a multimeter, and it shows it has 3.7 volts. Now what? Any ideas would be appreciated.
that happened to me for a little while. idont know what it was but it wouldnt charge using the usb cable to any computer or even the a/c adapter but it would charge with another wall charger i had. after a couple days a friend had his psp over and i charged my phone with his cable on my computer like nothing and after wards it all worked again
Thank you so much for your reply!!!

I have tried other cables and chargers, but none have helped. Last time my phone started working properly, I had plugged it in to my computer, but that hasn't happened this time. Thanx for your comments - keep 'em coming.
I purchased a new charger/docking station for my phone and spare battery. It wouldn't charge my phone or the new battery I purchased either. The new battery still will not work in my phone - paper weight! The charger does charge my old battery, though. Does anyone know if you can run a Touch Diamond from the USB/charging cable without the battery installed? Mine won't, but I was wondering if it should.
Hey man
you know that happend to me when i first flashed my diamond for metro i bought a new battery and nuthing changed so what i did was a hard reset and it fixed it for me but i dont know thats just me and if u want to try it make sure u back up ur contacts with PIM backup hope u fixe it

Thanks, Krzynate! I tried that already, many times now, (see my first post in this thread). Thanks anyway and please keep the posts coming.
I had the same problem.. I ended up buying a new battery and it wouldn't charge in my phone. So I ordered an external charger from EBAY for 10$. My new battery is charging so It might be the solution you are looking for.
Thank you so much for posting! As I wrote previously,
(I purchased a new charger/docking station for my phone and spare battery. It wouldn't charge my phone or the new battery I purchased either. The new battery still will not work in my phone - paper weight! The charger does charge my old battery, though.), this did not fix my problem. The vender that sold me the new (bad) battery is sending me another one - hopefully, it will work this time.
It's Fixed!!!
I wrote the Internet store where I purchased the non-working battery. They sent me another battery and now it's fixed!!! The battery indicator and status all recognize the new battery! Apparently, there is a recognition chip in the battery; the original battery's chip's software became corrupted, and the other "new" battery's chip was blank. The original battery still works, (as long as I charge it with the external charger), and still has an unrecognized status in WM 6.1. Please pass this info on to others that have simular problems. Thanx XDA!

[Q] atrix HD wont charge. Led light allways on & "disconected" and "conected" shows
Hi everybody! I hope you all are good; i Will talk about my issue, and by the way, i have read a lot about this kind of trouble but no one seems to match exactly as mine. So, about my phone: it have root, no cumstom ROM on it (i leaved with the Motorola's one), original charger and USB. Well i was playing on my atrix as usual until the "5%" of battery message showed, i plugged in for a while (like 8 or 12 minutes) then my friend sent me a whatsapp message wich, with the phone still plugged in, i gave him an response but sunddely my phone started saying "charger plugged" and "unplugged" continuesly but the AC adaptor was connected to the Atrix!! So i said, wt! I've to say that im still waiting with te phone connected to te AC this night but i am assuming that it would be a battery issue because once it said something like it needed a battery change or my battery life was closed to end (do this also happened to any of you??). The phone can be on but quickly shutting down saying "2%" of battery with the same problem of the disconnected and connected showing message.
I will be greatful of any kind of help that you guys would bringme. Another information is that i bought these phone from Amazon and it was used but in good condition and i am affraid, a little, with taking the battery out as many people say out there in others posts but what would you suggest me guys?
Many thanks in advance!!

no this has never happened to me but i have had problems where the battery overheats and gets terrible battery life since you are stock just take it into any att store or call online and they should have a new one to you,battery seems to be a common problem with this device
@ehmad I too have had this problem. Have you tried unplugging and letting your phone die, then charging it while off until 100%? That is what I did for mine. Not sure what caused it, but it was only that one time for me.
I really want to thank you guys!! I was sick about a year so did not have time to get logged. I've found the solution changing the battery my own and works after doing as TheJeremyWhite explanation. Thanks again!!!

[Q] Battery problem

Hello people,
I got a really bad problem with my battery. It discharges whilst it's connected to the charger during minimal use (just whatsapp). Either that or when I don't use it, it always dangles around a certain percentage and doesn't really charge. I have another problem, the phone will constantly say that the charger connected or disconnected. I assume there is something wrong with the charging cable or the usb port. But the thing is, I have the problem aswell when I tried to charge it with the charging dock, so it couldn't be the usb port right? So the problem had to be with the battery, right? I had these problems before so one week ago I brought it to my provider store who sent it to Sony, it came back today and when I got home and tried to charge it, I had these problems again. The funny thing is, when I got my phone back the store showed me the repair paper that Sony sent along, on the paper stood: "GPS was fixed''. Although nothing was ever wrong with my GPS. But it didn't say anything about the battery. So did Sony make a mistake here? Or is the phone just busted or what? I'm quite desperate. The problems only started recently, about 4 to 6 weeks ago. Do any of you guys know what it could be? I don't wanna lose my phone for another time and be stuck with my iPhone replacement which I got lying around at home. I hate iPhone :laugh:
tl;dr: battery busted, discharging while charging, please help.

Mi5 Issue with phone/battery, brick every 2 weeks.

Hi,
I'm a Mi5 3/64 (black) user since 1 month, I bought it from Geekbuying.
Since 1 months the phone was hardbricked twice:
First time I left it overnight with 40% of battery and when I woke up in the morning the phone was dead, no life at all. I tried to charge it for couple of hours but it didn't help. Luckily I was able to flash MIUI through Miflash, so after that I was able to turn on my mobile and start again from zero. Terrible.
Second time it happened while I was charging my mobile. When it had 90% of battery I switched the mobile off. After one or two hours, still connected to charger I tried to turn it on but it was dead again. No life at all. I tried to charge it for couple of hours and nothing. So I left it and the next day I tried to turn it on by any chance and the red LED started to blink. Tried to charge for a while, but still without success. Connected to my laptop and it was visible in MiFlash, so I flashed latest Miui dev and now I can start again setting up my mobile.
What should I do now? Does it look like battery issue? I'm afraid that it will happen again after 2-3 weeks.
Somebody else had this issue? Did you ever return smth to Geekbuying and received item or refund back?
I wrote to Geekbuying and they just recommended me to flash this - https://goo.gl/jLBSsa I think it's bull****, just an old Miui ROM.
Thank you in advance for any help.
Was just going to restart the device and flash supersu binarys, tried to restart into recovery, eventually it died, couldnt boot it at all, doesnt respond while charging neither when plugging into the computer. I've no idea what happened but for me it feels like it was the battery failed. I was on lineage 170109 with brand kernel 3.3

Yes, so your issue is similar to mine. Terrible, no idea what's wrong with this phone and geekbuying support is terrible.
Use MiFlash to temporary make your device alive.

Using Mac but don't want to hassle, just bought a new battery from ebay instead and hope it will fix the problem.
On another community people told me that the main board is faulty, they say that it's the common issue in mi5.
