Hej Folks,
my Santoni has this quirk that I can charge it with any charger, as long as it still has some energy. When it shuts down automatically because of low battery, it will only accept the original Xiaomi charger to recharge. This just gives me headaches, because when I loose my charger while traveling, I'm completely screwed! It will still turn on in fastboot and recovery and burn the last bit of energy left in the battery, but it won't charge there either...
I' running microG Lineage, and don't know whether it worked before I installed it or not, cause I didn't test that.
Any Ideas besides buying more original Xiaomi chargers?
What about USB cable? which USB cable you are using? have you tried using different USB cable?
check with USB port if there's any dust/lint, if so then try cleaning it and try charging it again.

I tried various USB-cables, all of them work with the original charger, but not with the seven other chargers that I tried (even though these work when the phone is still on).

Any USB and charger combination(s)should just work fine, i am not sure why are you getting this issue.
Have you changed your device's battery? (just asking, if so then that might be culprit).
Anyways for time being let me presume you haven't so in that case you may want to try clean flashing some other ROM(s) and see if you face the same issue. sometimes ROM or kernel causes this issue. similarly you can try changing kernel. (Do backup everything if you choose to clean flash)

Greeting to XDA-community.
I have a problem. I don't have any opportunity to use regular charger for my G1. So I used charging via usb, but when I have turned on Wifi (ad-hoc to connect with laptop) and started to use G1 heavily it just dropped dead (battery is 0%). As I understand charging via usb is less then amount of power G1 uses during heavy use. But now I can't charge the phone at all. I have killed my second battery (stock too) the same way. The only thing that I see when connect to usb is that LED is red, sometimes light is pulsating, but can't turn the phone on. I also use to different source of charging. The problem I can do this only from USB port . Did somebody have such problem? I need someway to charge it...
Thanks for any help
You could try a powered USB hub, but if youa re going to buy something, why not just buy a charger?

I am using smth like this, a charger for mp3 player with 5.2v. Doesn't help
I am in Europe for couple of weeks, charger isn't working here due to different plugs, so I didn't bring it with me (but should , you can buy adapter US-EU plug without problem), thought charging via USB is working well, but it don't.
Hi guys,
I'm having a problem with my incs lately, it WILL ONLY charge on any mode other than charge only... That means I can only charge it using a computer on either usb tether/usb storage. (When its in USB Storage, I can read my SD card from my computer)
The problem come when i tried to try the USB host using the Y cable, I think i messed up somewhere. The phone thinks that there is a data session running INTO my device, and to make things worse, I set my USB to PC connection to Disk Drive by default. After I unplug the device from the Y cable the Disk Drive symbol still exist and the led (orange) still lighting up. I connect it to the charger and plug off, it seems to turn off the disk mount and led. However after that point, I can't never charge using charger/usb charge only. (Its a flash drive and a 5VDC power source on the other end of the Y cable if you are wondering)
I have tried flashing different ROMs, even charge when the device is off, charge in recovery, and wipe battery status. None works.
So... For now I think I fried the USB controller, so can anyone suggest any solution? HW replacement or a SW that will make the phone think all plug that goes to the microusb is a data? or any other?
Thank you in advance
What kernel/mod are you using for USB host?

Well, I failed using it, I was using ARHD, and there was no USB host capability.
Can someone suggest what the problem might be? Is it just the port or something deeper? If its just port, thank god this spare part is avaiable

You can change what it defaults to, can't you? Change it to charge only mode. How is your device unlocked and have you done any other mods?
I can assure you its not something to do with the mod/software. Currently the phone cant be charged t all unless you charge the battery separately.
I think when i plug a charger , the current goes in reverse direction, making it discharge even faster, rather than charging

That's actually not possible, but you may have a charger issue. Have you tried another one?

Hi wpra3, i think i have exactly the same problem with you, initially i thought is the usb spoil, when i plug to computer, it prompt me that unrecognized device, recently it become worst when i plug in the usb, it not charging but is discharging and some time it prompt me that my phone is using too much battery while i am charging.
Have you find any solution yet?

hi all, i am using my note for more than 3 months with non original charger, and usb cable also sn't original, but my phone was charging well, but i upgraded to JB then reverted back to ICS, and now when i put my device on the charger or USB, and without using it, i see in battery status that my phone isn't charging, but the charging animation is working, and i see that it is charging in the lock screen, and my phone drain very fast,
i installed battery monitor widget, and it show me "USB Charger" but give me Discharging, and charging randomley, and when it gives me discharging i see in the battery health error like" unspecified error ocured"
as i said, it just charge fine some times, and some other times it gives me "discharging", i was using this USB, And the charger for more than 3 months without any problem
don't know if it i software or hardware related
any idea ?
sorry for my bad english
two things you can try...
1. Flash to stock GB and try charging it again.
2. if you tried step 1 and still doesn't work, try replacing your charger/usb cable and/OR, CLEAN OUT your usb charge port on your phone. Perhaps there's some lints and dusts there already that have accumulated overtime, causing your issue/s at hand.

My model is F8132, 39.2.A.0.374.
Now the charging problem is driving me crazy: it's not charging with any wall charger. More precisely:
1. When power-on and connected to wall charger, NOTHING happens.
2. When power-off and connected to wall charger, red light pops out for a second and disappears, "SONY" pops out for seconds, and then the battery sign comes out WITHOUT charging.
3. The phone IS charging when connected to the computer in any case.
4. In fastboot mode when connected to the wall charger, IT'S charging.
I have to tried to use the Companion to repair, and to use flashtool to flash the firm that I have been using, both don't work. I have not unlocked the bootloader, or rooted the phone.
To my knowledge, it seems that the kernel is not working well when it is supposed to recognise the wall charger, but I hesitate to flash a rooted kernel since I never do anything crazy.
Please tell me what to do! GREAT THANKS!
I have some problems charging my Xperia X depending on the cable I use (I have a few different micro USB cables from old phones) . Did you try a different cable?

Not yet. But why should it work? I have flashed the same firmware, the ROM should be absolutely rewritten, and if the kernel is not completely renewed, why should it be renewed when I flash other versions?
So now I have two conjectures, one is that the kernel is hurt which will not be completely rewritten when we flash the device in usual ways, the other is that something is hurt beneath the kernel level.
But anyway, I'm not an IT guy, and I really need experts now.

If there are some blocks of the storage where the kernel is that are not completed rewritten and/or that are damage, it is very weird or lucky for you that you can still boot and it messed only with that very specific part for charging, and not some other part.

So if you can still boot I would discard that the kernel is damaged... It might be some weird bug with your very specific phone and that very specific kernel, so to rule that out you need to change change the kernel flashing another firmware version, and with a different kernel if it is still not charging, then I would say it is something other than the kernel, maybe some specific hardware part with some code inside that helps charging the phone. If it is hardware related you would need to take to sony.
Bur as I said, it seems software related as you can charge with a computer.

I have the same problem, x peria xp SOV33 cannot fill properly and very long when the phone is active, it doesn't even charge when the cellphone turns off.
I can not get into flash & quick boot mode.
replacing a similar charger cable and adapter does not help at all.
after a few days I made my own charger cable.
combining usb cable with utp cable. (I mean making a single cable charger, not a fiber).
I'm connected to the fast charging adapter version.
and this works.
but the problem is the device can not enter flashmode & fastboot.
I do not guarantee how this will work for all.
the risk of hardware damage is borne by each
sorry my english is very bad

Hi, I have a Sony Xperia X compact that has suddenly stopped charging using either the dedicated wall charger. It will charge using my external battery pack, but when it is plugged into the wall charger it will not charge. At first I assumed it was the charger itself, as the micro USB cable was obviously working with my battery pack. The charger I bought was also a genuine Sony one, but this didn't work either, so both this and the original one was used on my husband’s Nokia Lumina 520 which also has a micro USB port for charging and it charges that fine. I then got another micro USB lead and that didn't work either, so I tried my husband’s charger on my phone and again, no charging activity.
It's a weird one, as I don’t understand why it won’t recognise a wall charger but is fine with my batter pack and of not it doesn’t recognise a computer either.
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

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 ?
