Charge problem - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I have problem with charging. The phone is charging very slowly or not at all. Sometimes I can pull out and plug in and then it starts to load (but slowly). I checked other chargers and cables. I wiped all and installed new roms and nothing changed. Yesterday I saw that phone is charging in TWRP (but not always). What could be the reason? Battery, usb port?
Thanks.

Turn it off and try to clean the USB port. Most of the times it's not damaged, just dirty as hell.
Use tootpicks or q-tips, blow it, whatever. Just try to get it clean.

I managed to buy a new bottom pcb with usb port on ebay for less than £10 when mine burnt out. Does the port smell of burning?
Very easy to change if this is your problem

The port doesn't smell of burning. I will order this usb port, maybe it will help. Thank you for help.

Today I changed usb port and unfortunately I have still problem with charging. I will try to change battery

How long are you using your phone?
If it's more than a year and a half~, i would recommend you to buy a new battery.
A lot of people having battery related issues in the last few months including myself and for me replacing the battery did the trick.

Before I changed the battery the phone stopped responding to the charger, also it wasn't visible in the computer, only in fastboot, I changed the battery but unfortunately i dont solve the problem

Hi! This just happened to me as well after changing the battery to a new one (Nohon). It only charges in Fastboot or Recovery mode. Even after factory reset and rom reinstalled. Anyone found a solution for this?
Edit: it does charge in normal mode but on slow chargers, no qc3...

I had the same problem, I'm suspecting something in Lineage 15 or some new firmware was causing it.
Unfortunately after i roll back it did not solve the issue.
I have replaced battery but it does not solve the problem, QC adapters just do not work.
The odd thing is that a low quality cable on QC adapters or non QC adapters will have no problem.
And somehow trying to block off the data pin does not work as well.
I've rolled back to Lineage 14 but it sort of "fake" charge, percentage goes up really fast but in reality it barely charged.
EDIT: seems like some of the oreo firmware was causing it, i have downgraded back to 8.4.19 with lineage 14.1

Hi guys
I have this problem a few days , plug charger and very slow charging , sometimes stop charging ! Reset factory not changing (org miui my rom and 9.6.2 version)
I can downgrade to witch rom of android 7 without break of antirollback ?

Galaxy S charging problem!

Hi there, first post on this forum, sorry for any mistakes.
I have 2 problems with my SGS: (Running an ICS root, not sure which one, came with it on when I bought it on eBay a couple of weeks ago.)
1: I have a charging problem where it will sometimes charged fully, which I am happy with, but other times it will actually discharge whilst 'charging' according to the lock screen. It will charge sometimes, slow down, then go backwards after a while, ending up with a flat phone when I wake up in the morning... The problem started when I used a wall charger from a SG Spica, but then worked fine again when I used the charger I got with the phone. It has now started to screw up again which is annoying. I have purchased a new 3500Mah battery for it so I don't know whether this will sort the problem out.
2: The mini USB port is slightly broken so I have to pull up on the cable otherwise it isn't picked up and won't charge. This is also annoying as if it moves slightly during a charge it won't charge at all. I tried fixing it with a toothpick but it didn't really help. I think the problem is that the connector/contact is slightly bent.
Thanks for your help!

well, If there is a problem with your micro USB, than you need to fix this first, it may be the root cause of your problem

Where will I be able to purchase a new micro USB from? I think I would be able to do this otherwise.

This doesn't seem right to be honest... Charging 80% of the time, yet it loses charge...

yep, and if the USB pins are shorting in the micro USB slot or your battery contacts needs some cleaning, these can happen, as well it looks as though you have too many notifications or widgets running, also a reason for heavy battery consumption.

have you tried with different charger?
I wonder why try another charger?
I've had the same problem a year ago. I was able to fix the problem by pushing in the pins inside the charging port. However this only buys time. I was able to fix the problem completely by purchasing charging port from eBay with the same revision 1.0 ( in my case ). I was able to install the part in less than 10 minutes and the problem is solved
Had the same problem few days back I just inserted a small pin inside the charging port and bent the pin inside the charging port very little don't know will it help but worked for me just be careful don't apply too much pressure as it may damage the pin

Jesus i want to cry when Note users have this problem!. Its an USB port problem, not chargers, not software. You need to replace the whole USB Board (which is attached at the bottom of the motherboard). If you want a temporal solution turn off your phone, remove your battery and then clean your usb port with a thin brush and alcohol and leave it for 30 min. Then put your battery and charge your phone. Turn on and then unplug your cable, it should work fine for some time. Its a problem with the 75% of the Galaxy Notes in the world. Ive changed my port 2 times in only one year! I dont know why samsung did not put a slinding usb protector like some galaxy devices... sorry my bad english and good luck!
when I changed my usb port, I bought 2 in case. 2 usb ports cost me 18 dollars and change, shipped from China. took 2 weeks to arrive. must match the revision number which is written on the original board. mine was revision 1.0. took less than 10 minutes to install. problem solved.
maybe temporary but free

cured my phone of the same problem with a paint brush and proper contact cleaner ( NOT WD40 OR LIKE) in the usb charger hole.
stuff known technically as pocket fegg gets in and causes leakage across contacts. however, worst case is connector is damaged and needs replacing as above.
Get the port replaced.
I had a similar issue.
<drunkbabble>
My microusb car charger is constantly used by the many female microusb ports from my friends and hitchhikers.
So it had a loose contact with my phone now because the Galaxy Y 's were too tight.
And the it charges / not charges / charges ... at about 150 times a minute.
</drunkbabble>
In your case your port might have suffered or you have dirt at the contacts. Try blowing it out with canned air and look for any visual clues of damage.
Got this problem right now and its really annoying.
I nearly wanted to throw my phone at the wall because of the dumb low battery noise playing like 20000 times a second .
My Desire HD and crapberry also decided to break today too ffs .
Gonna send them off to get repaired in the morning, back to my good old reliable nokia 3310 in the mean time
i am having this issue for over a month now. i changed the battery too lately. was on CM 10.1 and thought it was a ROM issue but then i found it to be the same as i switched to stock ROM.
And it would be real helpful if anyone of you guys could let me know how much changing the usb port cost me.
Clean It With A Little Whisky :]
cotton, dip it in a little whisky and then clean the usb port with a help of a needle/pin... worked for me :]
*make sure your phone is turned off and the battery is out while you do this application*
try and clean your charger as well.. Cheers!
Charging port issue!
I had exactly the same issue on my Galaxy Note-1. and stumbled across this thread. It confirmed the suspicions I already had. So I got my charging port changed. The phone is back to normal!

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.

Replacement Battery won't charge

My replacement battery (looks the exact same, may be a generic product, though) worked fine for a few days, but then the phone started saying: "Battery can't charge right now," and the batter level just stayed the same with the cable connected. I tried various cables and adapters; the situation didn't change. I read that maybe a missing temperature sensor could be the issue. Does anybody have experience related to the issue?

Battery and rom are probably not the problem, i've solved this with replacement of USB C charging port in the phone.
I repeated the process with the same battery, and I haven't had problems in over a year. just took it out, put it back in, and that settled it.
why you replaced the battery, battery dead ?
what are the symptoms ?
because my phone is restarting itself , while charging it shows 90 percent and so on, its on when charger plugged in and if unplug it will stay on for few min and if i open app or camera it start reboot
I've had the same problem
I've replaced battery with an aliexpress one but after some charges problem came back and I think the problem was about I was charging my phone with the wrong charger (was using the Aukey QC3.0), so I've started to charge my phone only with the genuine charger but with another USB-C cable because the genuine one sucks.
After using the genuine charger the problem never came back and I left the genuine battery on It.
I've noticed that the USB-C port on my phone miss the original standard measures of height and width of the hole, so when I plug the cable It plays a little in the port and this is the cause I don't use the genuine cable.
Guy guys guys...
The answer is simple ^^ (ok not really )
Clean your USB C charging port of your phone... that fixed 3 to 4 times my charging issues, sadly after I had bought several cables /batteries...
So first think you must do before checking any other thing... is getting all the crap that the USB C charging entry point has after so many years/months of usage... it gets quite dirty.

Battery suddenly will not charge anymore

Hi , my XZ2 is about one and a half years old. No problem whatsoever until this morning. I plugged in the charge cable, I got the message "charging" but it will not charge. I checked the cable and charging device (worked with another phone) so it is in the phone or in the connection. Cleaned connection (woorden tooth pick), nothing helped. Any suggestions? Battery level is now at 5 % so I can not do a lot anymore...
Have you tried different charging brick? You cleaned the port but I'd recommend using a cotton bud and isopropyl alcohol to clean it from corrosion.
If it won't help that is probably the fault of charging port itself. I had issues with charging when it would randomly stop charging and replacing port itself worked and it isn't doing that anymore (I replaced it around 2 months ago).
Edit: Also try charging the phone when it is turned off.

Thanks, I tried, but the alcohol did not work either. (And yes, I tried different brick and cable and also with different phone). I will have battery replaced, I guess that helps. Thanks anyway.
Try doing a hard reboot then powering down the phone and see if that works.

I recommend getting charging port on aliexpress or ebay idk, it costs around 10-12$, I'm pretty sure changing the battery won't help much - considering it's not a motherboard fault. Also, update us if anything will change, I'm very curious
I will update yo uhere when I know more , thanks
I had the same issue, when I used Lineage OS 18. To solve it pressed up volume button and power button and waited until 3 vibrations.

A hard reboot?
I promised I would let you know... I changed my mind at a certain moment and decided to check if the defect was covered by the Sony-guarantee. It was. So I sent it in, and after two or three weeks I got it back. Entire new mother board. So I think this was a real physical defect which could not be solved by your kind suggestions [thanks].
quite similar to my case, though for me the cable actually melting and i can't charge it using normal usb c cable anymore
nowadays it's either via wireless, or via usb C to usb C → usb A adapter

Sounds like a known mobo power controller failure.
Press Sony for a free repair... lean on them hard if you must. Keep calling until someone there does the right thing.
If you're lucky the first call will get it.
Free repair, free replacement or a full refund check, don't settle for less!
Lol, I've played hardball with Sony and won*
*hammered a few people in the process, oops.

Yea, I switched to IodeOS based on lineageOS 17, until march update, i had no issues, so either I have very bad luck, or something is buggy in software.

Not software... firmware which is much worse.
Flash it back to see what's what.
When I have a stable OS that's doing what I want, I leave it be.
Updates, destroyer of worlds...

Yeah, i did it once, after i bricked it, but i see, i will have to do it second time. Or at least i need to install another ungoogled OS, not based on lineage.

Google is a menace, no doubt.
Currently I keep Google Play Services disabled most of the time.
Try charging it with the phone powered off and see if that helps.
Yes, it did help, but fastcharging seems to be disabled, when phone is powered off.

That's strange.
I don't think the firmware flashes the power controller chipset... or if it's flashable.
My 10+ fast charging is acting erratic. Tried everything except a factory reset. May be the battery... fun isn't it?
I wanted to boot TWRP and bricked phone while doing it. We will see if swiss firmware will change anything
Actually it's south american, but charging works without problem, as last time
