Nokia 7 plus only charges when rebooting while plugged in ? - Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers

Since about a week my my Nokia 7 plus is acting up.
Apparently it will only charge after it goes through a reboot while being connection to the charger. After a while nothing will work.
I suspect that the bootloader configures everything for charging correctly but that the Android OS (Android 10, latest security patch) is doing something strange to the USB (maybe after a glitch or something else).
A probably relates issue is that nothing works anymore in the USB settings window and there is permanent notification that says that the 'connected device is being charged via USB'. When tapping that notification the USB setting pop up but nothing can be changed.
The (impossible to change) setting is stuck at USB tethering.
Changing this via developper options seels to work visually but does not impact the fact that charging is not working apparently.
How can I clean the state of the USB driver of Android without having to do a factory reset (annoying due to a lot of MFA stuff ...)

Have you tried other chargers. That reboot is probaly normal. Do you mean with reboot if the phone is turned off and you plug the charger in you see the "android one" boot up and it turns off?
Also try turn off developer options. There are a lot of usb settings. And if that doesnt work try factory reset the settings only. You will lose all settings changes which i may guess that isnt important.

Thank you for the reply.
I did try many chargers (car, multiple plugs, USB of Mac USB of computer) and cables (at least 3).
The reboot is a means to trigger that at least it starts showing a lighting in the batterysmbol and yesterday it even charged correctly at that time. Today that is unfortunately not true anymore
I will try with developper options off to check if it makes a difference but I doubt it.
As indicated I would like to avoid a factory reset as it would cause me quite some effort to reconfigure the multiple MFAs again

did it work b4? I'm sure there is active synch (xp) or wmdc (vista/7) installed?
did you try another usb port (if possible also on another pc)? don't use hubs...
do you have a firewall that's interfering?
whats your config in start - settings - connections - usb to pc
is "Enable faster data synchronization" enabled? disable it
is start - settings - system - power - battery -> "When phone is on, don't charge the battery when connected to a PC." activated? deactivate it

just did a little reg search
check these on your device
\HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\Battery\EnableUSBCharging (here it's on 1)
\HKLM\Software\OEM\USBToPC\SncMode (here it's on 2=>disk drive, 0 for active sync)
\HKLM\Software\OEM\USBToPC\EnableAdvancedChecked (here it's on 1)
\HKLM\Software\OEM\USBToPC\DisablePopUpUI (here on 0)
and connect your device to PC via USB and then soft reset x1, sometimes that works
I set it, but still same. I have pictures of my USB on board, disassembly. No oxidation.

yep, now it's accessible
but for me it looks good, but I'm no technician...
For me too, so it must be software problem, my guess bootloader or something like that.
Please clarify
You're saying that:
1. You can sync just fine.
2. You can not charge from your computer usb port.
3. You can still charge fine using the wall outlet/AC charger. (otherwise, how can you try many different rom if you're out of battery power)
4. What you want is to charge your phone and sync at the same time.
Am i correct? Please correct where i'm wrong.
My answers would be:
a. Modify your current active power plan, disable selective usb power down.
b. Make sure your usb port are USB version 2.0. Really old pc often have mixed usb1 and usb2 port, better read the manual.
c. Disable USB pop up selection on phone setting, make sure active sync selected. Also make sure to allow charging from usb in power setting.
d. Some mainboard are picky with certain usb device, if you or your friend have Powered usb hub, try that too.
Now, here's my advice.
Forget about charging from pc/laptop. When power saving kick in, vista/seven will power down that port. no more charging.
When Active sync kick in, charging stop, recharging again. If you're using any BT/Wifi/2g-3g/heavy workload, it's very likely that usb port won't be able to provide all the power x1 need. so what happend is while it's charging, somewhere in between it's actually charge-discharge cycle. That will kill your battery fast. Do search old posts from wm2003 age to understand better.
No, I am saying that:
I can not sync via USB.
I can not charge from PC.
I can not charge from wall outlet/AC charger. I have external USB charger and two batteries
Yes, I want sync my phone and charge (PC or wall outlet/AC). Are we clear now?
So it looks my USB on X1 is dead, but motherboard looks fine, and X1 shows me options after plug USB from PC, but its not working anyway. And in bootloader X1 detect USB too, but its all.
2 batteries and external battery charger. That explain my confusion.
One last thing, what method of flashing you use? Sd card method or romupdate/pc method?
Because, from my understanding if you can enter bootloader through pc utility, that means the data communication are fine. so usb port should be fine.
I'll try mine on win7 and see what i can do.
had my eyes on that rom too. i guess i should try that rom. i'll tell you asap. oh, since i'm on dial up, guess asap mean a few days.
I use SD card method. Let me explain the bootloader thing. When I go to bootloader, it shows tri color screen and it shows me on top some text (hardspl and other things..) and at bottom, it shows Serial text. If I plug USB into Xperia, it change from Serial to USB, Win 7 trying install drivers, but it fails. Its all. I try different roms, 6.5, 6.1 etc...
Ok, here's what i got so far.
Sync issues: 5 usb cable each from SE, nokia, shielded regular cable, cheap external hdd usb short cable, long slightly damage usb cable.
a. All cable show error or not recognized if connected through front panel pc case usb port. However phone display usb selection and of course none would work.
b. Connecting through mainboard rear usb port would work, and device detection and driver installation completed successfully (if you enable driver update auto download in device driver policy).
c. After driver installed properly, all cable work properly no matter which usb port (front, rear, hub) except wmdc (because i don't have it yet)
d. Wmdc version 6.1 from microsoft download center did'nt worked or installed correctly with no warning or whatever (no shortcut created, no entry in cp), even when that build worked on vista.
e. Wmdc that work ok must be downloaded from windows update optional tab. 2 update, 1 plain wmdc and 1 driver update for wmdc showing same d/l size.
f. after 2 hours, wmdc installed fine, but the other failed. No luck on retry. wmdc can detect the phone IF enable faster data sync not checked. However i don't have outlook so can't test sync result.
All cable worked after all that above.
g. I'm betting that in order to enable faster data sync required the driver update for wmdc.
Charge issues: Same cables, 1 SE Usb charger and car charger, 2 motorola.
a. All charger work properly.
b. Usb charging on front panel case show charging icon, however in about 30 minutes battery meter drop more than 10%, voltage dropped from 3.8v to 3.6+v.
c. Mainboard rear usb port can charge, but power output might a bit to low (around 250mAh left for the batt). With active 3g or wifi, not good.
Shall i continue the next step?
i think it's better to check wmdc and try another charger first.
I dont understand...I cant do anything with my USB on X1-no charge, no PC connection, nothing.
i think it's better to check wmdc and try another charger first.
>>I tried many chargers and many cabels, many computers, nothing.
battery pin
ok, the last thing i can think of is to check if there's power going or not.
do you have voltmeter (& know how to use)?
Do it at your own RISK..
a. remove bat. cover & battery.
b. notice there's 5 pin battery connector on phone,
like (+) TT T TT (-).
c. plug the charger on phone (without battery), using voltmeter get reading from the pin that i marked from L-R side (don't short circuit them).
like this .TT T TT. (don't do it like this T.T T T.T)
d. from what i've learn from batteries so far, the 2 (+) pin output 2 different voltage when connected to a single (-) pin. the other (-) pin either not used or probably for monitoring/controlling ic. i have no idea what the center for.
e. my reading from point c: 3.3v. no need to try the others. you don't want to kill your phone.
FYI, on full battery .TT T TT. = 3.3v, TT. T TT. 4.2v
if you didn't get proper reading, i believed it need proper service/repair job.
Sorry i couldn't be more helpfull. Best of luck to you..
dude, it just hit me. maybe we're thinking too much. most of usb problem i ever seen was worn out or bent pin inside the connector. have you look inside?
yeah, there is power going through USB, i checked 2 hours before...but i am stupid and i did stupid thing now..i flash via sd card stock spl, and now i cant boot into system, it always shows tri color screen, beacouse rom is not stock...

Phone won't connect via USB

A couple of days ago I installed this ROM on my P880. Everything worked just fine except for the torch app, a known bug and whatsapp has some difficulties with changing from landscape to portrait mode or vice versa (I hardly use landscape mode so not much of a problem). However, when I connected my P880 to my computer today using the USB cable, neither my phone nor my pc gave any response or errors - nothing happens. My phone claims to be "discharging" when connected to a computer, but is does charge. The same thing happens when I plug my P880 charger into the wall outlet - nothing, but is does charge. My device is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked
Things I have tried so far:
Use 3 different cables
Use different PC's
Reboot phone and and switching it off/on
Disable USB debugging
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Is keeping the ROM mandatory to you? If not you can always change, I think. Not a very good resolution, but since not a pro, not anything else I can think of..
I'm willing to switch ROM, but I like this one when it works. the weird thing is that the USB connectivity suddenly stopped working. I didn't change any settings nor made I any adjustments to my phone. Also, when I turn my phone off and connect it via USB to my computer, it does get recognized and my P880 displays the charging animation. But when my PC begins looking for drivers it suddenly crashes (BSOD)

I got the BSOD several times too, with different ROMs. In my case it is caused by using Windows 8 and shutting the phone down (or rebooting it) while it is connected in anything other than 'Charging' mode. We know that Windows 8 drivers have issues with this phone, and this is just another of those problems.

that cm is basically an alpha version, it was the first rom on 4.3 we got for our device. plus, the kernel in it is also 3.4 alpha instead of usual 3.1 which is more stable, so check out official CM 10.2 for our device. you should not have any major issues with it.
When I plugged my phone into my AC charger this morning, It bleeped and confirmed that it was indeed charging. I tried my connecting to my PC and it connected like it should. I didn't turn my phone off overnight, nor have I tried any fixes. It seems like a self-breaking and fixing ROM

[Q] HTC Desire 500 won't charge

Hi there HTC fans.,
I'm having a problem with my HTC Desire 500, and I really need your help because I can't really figure out the cause of it. Basically, my phone just doesn't want to charge anymore.
The problem first started at work. I had to download some photos from my phone into the PC from work, and I did that using a data cable from one of my colleagues. At first, the phone didn't connect to the PC, but after I unplugged it and connect it back, it worked and I was able to copy the photos I needed. However, a notification message appeared on my HTC's screen. The message was "Your phone is in USB Host Mode" or something like that. I'm having this Desire 500 for about 6 months and this message never appeared before when I copied things from or into my phone. I ignored that message and I unplugged the data cable and carried on my work.
When I went home, I tried to charge my phone but that didn't worked. I tried the both ways available: directly with AC charger and connected to my PC. But nothing happened; no charging signal, no red LED on. Nothing. I tried to go into fastboot, and even made a factory reset, but still the phone didn't charge.
However, I noticed today that somehow (by a miracle) the phone started charging when I used the same data cable that I downloaded those photos at work.
In conclusion, my HTC Desire 500 can't charge unless I use that specific data cable (from one of my colleagues).
So my question is: why is this happening and how I can solve my problem?
Thanks in advance for all of your answers and sorry for my bad english.
Maybe USB port is damaged? Check if there isn't anything suspicious inside your phone USB or the cable plug

Thanks for your answer, lgiK.
1) regarding the phone's USB - I don't think it's a problem with the phone's USB jack, because the phone actually charged with the data cable from the colleague that I've told you about. He also has a microUSB cable (like all the other Android devices).
2) regarding the cable plug - I don't think the problem is with the cable plug, because I've tried to charge the phone at home with 3 different AC chargers (all from other Android based devices), but it still won't charge.
I really don't think that it's a hardware problem, I suspect that it's more a software bug (or something similar). I think that mainly because that message appeared for the first time ("Your phone is in USB Host Mode"), although I'm having this phone for nearly 6 months.
Did anyone had the same problem like I do?

Last night my phone completely ran out of battery and has turned off. I put it to charge on a normal AC charger, and I noticed this morning that his battery was full.
So... yes, I suppose the phone charges when it's turned off.

Then try factory reset. Maybe there is something wrong in the software of the phone. Switching modes USB is a software issue. In the USB host mode, the phone is not charging.

I've already did that, but no change occured. I also tried going into fastboot (that also didn't helped). So i'm running out of options. The phone is still in guarantee, so I'm thinking I will just take the phone to them.

Guys,
I had the same "in USB host mode, can not charge" problem when the power is on, after 3 months of use of my new HTC One. It may be related to the charger but I am not 100% sure. It was very annoying and I had to turn the phone off before plugging in the power cable to charge. It happened when I was in Taiwan, so, I called the HTC help line there and they gave me a solution.
The guy on the other end asked me to go to Power setting and click off the "Fast Boot" and "Power Saver Mode" options first. ( I am not sure if these steps are necessary, but, anyway I did as he requested.) Then, power off the phone by pushing down "Power Off" for 2-3 seconds to allow restarting in Safe Mode. Once the phone restarts in Safe Mode, some of the Apps may not work but the phone can be charged normally. After restarting my phone in it's normal mode, the "USB Host Mode, Can't Charge phone" problem was gone. I can charge your phone normally and also click back on the "Power Saver Mode" and "Fast Boot" options in Power Setting, without problems. I hope this will also work for your phone.

TMO Galaxy S6 won't charge and get recognized as USB storage on computer

Hey everyone,
I'm having some major issues with my Galaxy S6. I'm running XtreStoLite Deo Mod 2.4.
Here are the issues I'm facing:
-plug phone to factory charger, often doesn't even realize it's plugged in, even if I wiggle the chord around
-if phone starts charging, it will only very rarely fast charge, most of the time it will just show "cable charging" with the stock charger
-phone no longer gets recognized as USB storage device on computer, the few times that the computer detects its presence, it'll show up as a Warning saying USB Device not recognized
I haven't tried a factory reset yet, but has anyone run into those issues before and it turned out to not be a hardware problem? Although the phone has never been physically damaged, I'm suspecting the phone's USB port to have gone bad. But I'm also wondering if the custom ROM/kernel could be the culprit considering that it's after all software (drivers) that control the behavior of the phone. I'd like to hear what you guys think before I do the inevitable (factory reset) and then happily send a Knox tripped phone to Samsung if it still doesn't work.
Thanks!
Try a new usb cable. Some are only meant for charging and not data transfer, so it won't work on your PC. Also, some cables won't fast-charge either.

1. Try Reinstall kernel you can find on xda (important don't forget wipe dalvik wipe cash after) 2 if not help 1st. Download again ROM / reinstall (probably corrupt and hopefully) insert rom on external usb / connect through otg / twrp - wipe advance settings - tick all boxes except external memory which is usb otg / wipe - install complete fresh (if no usb otg - place rom on Internal and in twrp/ advance wipe don't tick internal box). and of course before start check cable and charger if you sure on 99% problem is not there then start reinstalling procedure - I had something similar, I just fresh download and completely fresh reinstall (twrp / wipe / advance setting...) and problem gone

Erased everything as in "factory reset" ?
Pp.
Also download USBDeview and run it on your PC. Delete everything that remotely looks like it might be related to your phone. When you plug the phone back in, your PC will see it as a new device.

Pixel XL - constantly defaulting to USB supplying power to attached device

No matter what I do, this phone constantly defaults to setting it to "USB supplying power to attached device" mode. I have never used this option so I'm unsure why the phone is doing this. I also need to adjust the settings when I try to charge it because it does not recognize that it is plugged in to a charger. After plugging in the phone to the charger, sometimes it will correct itself to "Charging" mode by switching it in the drop-down of the notification area and sometimes it will switch over after opening the Battery in settings. I have to play with the settings just to get it to charge every time and always have to have it plugged in first otherwise it will immediately default back to "USB supplying power to attached device" mode.
This phone was purchased used from someone who said they rooted the phone, but didn't install any images or roms. It currently is not rooted. And it is the Google Store version with the unlocked bootloader. Not sure if that info helps.
Can anyone tell me if this is a hardware or software issue and how to fix it?
