Turbo charging not working? - Moto X4 Questions & Answers

Anyone else notice their X4 charging rate get stuck at 900mA from time to time? I have the A1 version Moto X4 on Project Fi with bootloader unlocked and rooted. It seems to only be a temporary problem and eventually reverts back to the normal 2+mA. Originally thought it was the fault of an after market cable I used but have now witnessed this behavior with my stock Motorola charger and cable.

I have been experiencing this. It took about 6 hours to charge my phone yesterday and it hasn't been turbocharging for like 3 days now. Despite restarting the phone. Are you still having this problem or were you able to fix it?

It does still happen though is only temporary for maybe a minute or two before jumping back up

I have not experienced this

Happened with mine as well... Suddenly, one day turbo charging stopped working. Then, after 4 days it was back, working normally.

Phone powering off at 70% battery

Hi all,
My Nexus 6 GPE has been powering off after about 2 hours or so being disconnected from the charger every morning. The phone has 70% of power (going off of this last time it has happened, usually it is around 50/60%) and it goes into battery saver mode and says it is powering down. When I try and restart. sometimes it goes and instantly shuts down, other times it shows the battery is completely dead (ie the empty phone icon), with this last time I was able to get into recovery and stay on and the bootloader and in recovery it says I have 60% battery left.
This all started when I flashed the latest software (LMY47E) and the latest bootloader/radios. I used Nexus Toolkit to Factory Restore it and it is still doing the same thing, sometimes it doesn't even give warning before shutting off. Has anyone come across this before? Do you think it is software or hardware related?
Thanks for your help
Did you try this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/dying-17-battery-t3062050
I did try that, it seemed to work but then turned off again. I did it about 3 more times, so far it hasn't shut off again, it was around 52% when I did it last and it came back up as 27% so I am hopeful that worked.
Has anyone else experienced issues because Qi charging? I have almost exclusively always charged this with a Qi Wireless Charger.
I have been having the same issue. Just did the "fix" from the other thread and before reboot it read 98%, after boot it says 77%. Crossing fingers.
UPDATE:
Nope, didn't work. After it went to 50%, it shut down and won't start on it's own unless it is plugged in. I'm back to step one.

That sucks. It seemed to work for me. Phone drained to 5% and automatically shut down. Charged it to full without booting, so if it still behaves, it fixed me.

Dacian like i just wrote in the other thread:
The "fix" i posted plus no more charging with Qi chargers worked for me.
I tried that, didn't use Qi charging to get it back to 100% and it still shut off. Can you use Qi charging again? I didn't spend $700 on my Nexus 6 so I couldn't use all of the features. I own 4 Qi chargers so that I didn't have to plug in my phone at all unless I was doing something through ADB.

No more Qi charging since I tried the mentioned workaround and no more problems with my N6 shutting down too early.
But I agree: not a solution if you use Qi stations a lot.
I think I'll just warranty it and if there comes a time where this starts happening again, hopefully there'll be a fix from google for it or something. Thank you for your help.
You're welcome. Good luck and keep us posted!
my phone was doing the same exact thing...first started off shutdown at 20 then 40 now 70! phoned motorola for a replacement : "sorry we cannot send replacements but we can fix it"...WTF?!?! a phone like this?! why the F would i want a repared faulty phone?!? Motorola never again never...
I have the same problem (now shutting down at 65%), i already call google for replacement but untill now i never had confirmation
I have the same problem. Nexus 6 shuts down. Displays blank white battery. Cannot be turned on without plugging into power source. Upon powering up it shows plenty of power.
Possible helpful info:
1. Recently manually updated to 5.1
2. Recently started using Qi charging
I did not notice a problem until both of those -- of the two my suspicion is the wireless charging but it's a total guess
I've tried all the suggested fixes and none worked.

Charging problems

I've been flashing roms for awhile and have run into a weird problem that I never seen before...
If I boot up with the charger supplying power, it will charge when power is supplied (plugged in or wireless), but if I'm booting up without power being supplied, whenever I do supply power(plugging in or wireless) it doesn't charge....
I've changed kernels and roms, but it seems to persist...
Any ideas? Hardware/firmware/software?

I have nearly the same problem as you, except I can only use one certain chord to charge, as others won't work. oh, and a reboot with it plugged in doesn't help either. I have to boot into the recovery, while plugged in, then reboot into the system. I don't think its software, but I have no clue, honestly. I thought it was just my device. it started happening about 3-4 months ago.

Were any of you guys able to fix this issue? I started having the same problem qith my N6 a couple of days ago. i flashed a Pure Nexus rom 2 weeks ago and it worked fine, all of a sudden this issue came up. i flashed back the stock rom and the issue is still happening. my phone has never been wet or anything, it is an over 2yo phone.

Btw, my phone is running a 7.0 android stock version, with a security patch from February 5th 2017, and a compilation number NBD91Z. i dont know if this information helps.

I started having charging problems when my Nexus 6 was about a year and a half old, I tried different ROMs, kernels, stock. Nothing helped, till I bought a new OEM charger. The one I got with my shamu looked fine, but was apparently not fine. I haven't had any more problems in the 6 months since getting the new one.

Do you use the OEM Motorola Turbopower 15w charger and have you (most likely have, but still gotta ask) tried other chargers, both QC compadible along with non-QC chargers in different amp ranges? My stock charger burnt out awhile back, it first stopped triggering OC2.0 and instead wouldn't exceed 1400mA, which wasn't noticed at first, then stepped down to only 480mA max. however throughout the failure period I noticed certain cables would have varying speeds as displayed in Ampere, even testing high quality Anker/Aukey/name brand performance cables they would vary greatly even though all could support more than the 15w the charger could output. This lead me to believe a cable problem which then turned into a charger problem and I couldn't get my hands on another QC charger at the time without buying one outright just to test the theory. When I finally found a friend with one it became apparent the charger was bunk as it topped at 2200mA right away with every cable I tried with the stock charger. However shortly after that I started having problems where it wouldn't charge at times leading to me waking up with a dead phone. Thinking its either the solder on the micro-usb port failing or the battery I checked the solder joints first using my shops usb microscope and they were fine. Then I noticed, since I rarely let my phone go below 50% if I can help it, it was shutting down @ 30-50% battery remaining, sometimes it would be only 3-5% I found when testing it. Replaced the battery and shes golden now.
Guess what I'm trying to say is, there are some pretty strange reactions to a dying charger or battery that can make you think its something else, even software related (first thing I did was reinstall PN along with 3 other roms lol). If your not able to find the problem, and a friends QC charger doesn't fix it, spend the $20 or under and grab a battery, cheaper than taking it to a repair shop to just find out the battery is dying and you could have saved a ton replacing it yourself, & even if its not it, now you have a backup for when yours does go out, which it will, only a question of when (google the countless post of N6 batteries dying after avg 2 years usage) lol.

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.

Xiaomi mi5 - charge problem

It's happen few days ago randomly everything works up to then. I can not charge my phone by just plugging my charger. I have to first switch off my phone only after that it responds to charger. Anyone has this issue, any tips? I have the newest software.

try different cables and plugs!
Tired different charger different cables everything different I different combinations. It doesn't work. I am guessing I more software problem what you guys think ?
I get a similar issue since a month or two: with Xiaomi.eu weeklies, if I plug in charger before switching off the phone, it will get in a sort of bootloop state showing battery then mi logo on a loop. Charging is fine while phone is switched on, though.

I use to unplug the charger before switching off the phone and then plug it back.
One thing I noticed was the USB C collects a lot of dirt in it. Every couple of weeks, I use a pin to scrape the dirt out.
As it is quite a large opening, it collects dust and lint etc, then plugging in the charge cable compresses it.
Give it a go!
I had the same issue, I solved it by changing from Xiaomi EU ROM to LOS.

Not charging

I got this phone 2 months ago brand new from ebay.
It had mostly working fine until today.
Battery was around 25%, so I plugged it in for charging. The charging connection kept disconnecting and reconnecting every second. I thought it could be a loose cable, but I checked everything. Eventually it connected, but the phone wasn't charging. I opened the settings and checked under battery, it said something like "connected, but not charging". I tried changing the charger, used 2 different charges but same result.
At this point it was clear the phone wasn't charging no matter what. I checked the USB port for dust, etc and also reset the phone. I also noticed the phone become very very laggy, not registering touch etc. Restarting the phone temporarily fixed lag and touch issues, but the problems came back quickly.
I also connected it to PC, but nothing happened.
Finally the battery has drained, and the phone has been plugged in for a few hours now, but still no charge. It's dead.
What could be the issue? Any suggestions? Seems like a hardware failure?
It's a 2 month old phone and I could be out $300+.
First time I bought a Xiaomi phone, this is a very scary and disappointing experience. I didn't drop the phone, no damage. As I said the phone was 100% fine before.
i just experiencing this issue exactly a week ago, at that point my battery were 7% down to 5% while trying "the fail" and when i plug the charge it says "plugged in, can't charge right now" but after 3 hours or so charging in while the phone was on, it bounce back to 7% and still displaying that message.
after trying to charge while the phone was off for more than 12 hours with no results, i gave up and place silica gel around the charging port for approx. 3 hours or so. and then i do this step.
i don't know what the pin point of the causing factor is and i don't know what step is unnecessary but this is what i do. i place silica gel around the port incase the port detecting moisture and preventing charge from happening, after 3 hour i try charging again using 18w quick charge brick while the phone is fastboot and turning it on. just like that the battery was charging.
after my battery were full i update the software to pie incase this is because of the software update (just like pixel 2 did), give this tutorial video a try*https://youtu.be/F9XNIbpC1yA some ppl able to do it in the first try, some 3x, some 6x, me? i finally achieve that on my 11x. just give it a shot and patience, no need root, ubl, etc etc
the fail. i tried using my friend charger (we have same phone) didn't work. tried using computer usb didn't work. tried using that quick charger brick without that silica gel part, didn't work. tried charging when the phone is off (i waited more than 12+hours) still didn't work.
based on that my conclusion were either there is moisture in the port and the sensor detect it and prevent the battery from charging up or the V9.6.17.0.ODIMIFE november update causing this problem.
again, this is what i do
-place/cover the charging port with silica gel
-wait approx. 3hour or more
-put the phone in fastboot mode
-charge the phone with 18w fast charger while in fastboot mode
-try to turn on the phone
the only post about this issue other than this was some guy in moto x4 thread on reddit, i don't know why there is so little info about this issue.

Seems like a hardware failure? idk, i'm still able to transfer data and listen to music through the dongle while this problem happening, so i assume it was software thing

Thanks for the response. I don't have silica gel but I placed the phone in rice for a few hours and then tried charging, it still won't work.
I can't get into fastboot either because the battery has drained completely by now.
Might have to take it to a mobile repair shop?

spoiler alert, that guy got his replacement phone while we (i assume you too) didn't even have access to official xiaomi service center ?
oh god, i just had it again, second time 10days later after the first one, on the latest pie update.
i'm legit scared ?, pray for my phones ?
but thanks god, the "plug in the charger while the phone on fastboot mode and turning it on"
still works, just like last time. even without the 18w fast charger.
I have the same problem. Battery drain could be the fingerpint sensor issue. The thing is the battery got really depleted and now, it seems the charger program/circuitry is consuming more power than it can charge. I tried several chargers, several usb-c cables, but nothing. Some hours ago the notification light blinked for some seconds and then it appeared as if it was indeed charging, it even showed the charging battery image ( the one without %, the one that appears when you have a really low battery charge ). But it has been hours trying and it doesn't do that anymore and there seems to be no way of making it charge and boot.
This is an appalling situation.
Similar problem, I purchase a Xiaomi Mi A2 by ebay, and passing 30 days (warranty expired) phone dead and never came to turn on, just flashing a white led, but nothing else, somebody has experimenting this problem and steps to revive the phone:crying:
same ****, guys.
I've tried several cables, couple of hard resets and etc. But now I have a pretty brick
I don't know if related but I had similar behavior after I dropped my a2 in the WC, after drying and figuring what prevented it to power on I discovered the USB plug at it's logic board internal connector as the parts preventing it to turn on, some cleaning an drying and my phone comeback.
Then today I observed it didn't charge, and the body warmed, It showed 50% charge, I rebooted and then it didn't turn on again, since I was doing some workout I figured the usb again got wet, I opened cleaned , dried assembly again and then it turned on w/o issue, but then the battery was showing 90% charge not 50% as before rebooting.
Maybe this your situation guys, it you think your phone somehow got wet, and you have no way to claim warranty (or too far from service center) try cleaning and drying the internal USB port connections. (Doit at your own risk).

My beloved Moto Z died in the same manner. I dropped it to the WC and finally died a few hours later. I'm happy now wirh my A2 but i miss the AMOLED screen [emoji24]

I just had the same issue. The phone just randomly cant charge anymore and when I plugged it the battery charge indicator just keep going on and off but without charging. I tried to reset the phone in factory mode but no result, I tried with differents cables but no result. When the phone was plugged it was very very laggy but as soon as I unplugged it everything was coming back to normal.
Now I have run out of battery and my hopes to get my phone back to life are pretty low considering what I read on this topic. If anyone has a solution please tell us!
I would add that I always took care of my Xiaomi Mi A2 (no fall, no water spilled on it, no overheating) and everything was going well until a few hours ago. I didn't installed any new app since like a week ago (from the PlayStore) and I updated to 8.1 maybe a month ago. I thought waiting so long for Android Pie was annoying but this is way worse. If the situation doesn't evolve I will never buy a Xiaomi phone again. Very disappointed
Mi A2 stopped charging
After 2 month of use and Android pie update this stupid device refuses charging. I'm so very disappointed. I can't believe i fell to this Chinese trap. This is the last time I'm purchasing a Xiaomi phone! "Android One phone".... Yeah right!

In my case, after 4 months of use, just after Android pie update, I have stumbled on my MI A2 lite showing problems with USB connection and charging. The phone is not able to stablish a stable connection to the charger or the computer, it just keeps connecting and reconecting, begin charging and stopping charging.... If I leave the phone charging all night, it seems to finally fully charge. I can't figure how this problem may be related to Android Pie update, so I think it is just coincidence, and the usb connector is faulty, though I don't know the cause.... I think I will try to have it replaced
so did you fix the problem OP? i just started expiriencing what i think is the same problem.

if you go to the battery setting and it's says "plugged in, can't charge right now" then you should try plug in the charger while the phone on fastboot mode and turning it on
(read my previous comment) i experience this issue 2times and it's been running smoothly ever after

i just experiencing this issue exactly a week ago, at that point my battery were 7% down to 5% while trying "the fail" and when i plug the charge it says "plugged in, can't charge right now" but after 3 hours or so charging in while the phone was on, it bounce back to 7% and still displaying that message.
after trying to charge while the phone was off for more than 12 hours with no results, i gave up and place silica gel around the charging port for approx. 3 hours or so. and then i do this step.
i don't know what the pin point of the causing factor is and i don't know what step is unnecessary but this is what i do. i place silica gel around the port incase the port detecting moisture and preventing charge from happening, after 3 hour i try charging again using 18w quick charge brick while the phone is fastboot and turning it on. just like that the battery was charging.
after my battery were full i update the software to pie incase this is because of the software update (just like pixel 2 did), give this tutorial video a try*https://youtu.be/F9XNIbpC1yA some ppl able to do it in the first try, some 3x, some 6x, me? i finally achieve that on my 11x. just give it a shot and patience, no need root, ubl, etc etc
the fail. i tried using my friend charger (we have same phone) didn't work. tried using computer usb didn't work. tried using that quick charger brick without that silica gel part, didn't work. tried charging when the phone is off (i waited more than 12+hours) still didn't work.
based on that my conclusion were either there is moisture in the port and the sensor detect it and prevent the battery from charging up or the V9.6.17.0.ODIMIFE november update causing this problem.
again, this is what i do
-place/cover the charging port with silica gel
-wait approx. 3hour or more
-put the phone in fastboot mode
-charge the phone with 18w fast charger while in fastboot mode
-try to turn on the phone
the only post about this issue other than this was some guy in moto x4 thread on reddit, i don't know why there is so little info about this issue.
-----
Seems like a hardware failure? idk, i'm still able to transfer data and listen to music through the dongle while this problem happening, so i assume it was software thing
same...
please post an update so there's more information available regarding this problem and good luck

Hello,
I have something similar, I'm in Switzerland and running the Pie Rom from Nederland. I don't think it's link to Pie, maybe from a security patch because it didn't come at the same time for me, but this is what I got:
-When I plug my phone to a fast charger, I get "charging for a few second, then not charging"
-If I plug my fast charger and reboot the phone, the phone will charge (I need to double check but I guess slowly)
-I have a Audio-Adapter (USB-C, 3.5mm, USB Type C), so if plug the charger to this Adapter, and them plug the phone, the phone is charging fine (slowly).
So to me it looks like an issue with the fast charging...

No I was not able to fix it. I am talking with my credit card coverage and see what they can do.
I got a different phone in the meantime.
I also got rid of all my other Xiaomi products, never going to give this company a cent in the future. They are cheap for a reason !! Limited support and shady parts used in their devices. They can't be using quality internal components with such cheap prices.
Their mibox also randomly die.
Quantity over quality seems to be their mantra
Guys, it happened to me too,
I've flashed from android one Pie rom, to pixel experience.
Pixel Experience is great rom, was working brilliant for couple of days.
Then it stopped to charge. Now phone has discharged to 0% and I can't do anything.
My assumption is that getting new battery in exchange might help me fix the issue.
I've read that once you move to Pixel Experience Pie version form Android One 9.0 you need to flash kernel to. I did not do that.
Now waiting for the battery to arrive and will see what I can do with it.
