I have had a charging issue that was denied a warranty claim by Google, they said the phone, mind you was only a month or two old at the time had water damage and they wouldn't fix it, now this phone works fine, but it will not charge if you plug it in and leave it, once it's plugged in then you need to pull down the notification shade, click on USB preferences, and then switch to controlled by this device, then it will charge, I see in the developer settings, I can control default USB behavior, but forcing the phone as a host is not an option, is there any way to automate this process so it's not as irritating?

If wireless charging won't work either, it's time for a new phone
If you had pulled it apart right away, disconnected the battery, then flushed with anhydrous isopropyl alcohol and allowed it to dry completely... it might have been saved.
With the battery connected, the power circuits are energized and it accelerates corrosion exponentially. BGA chipsets are also vulnerable and for all practical purposes it's impossible to inspect or clean the solder connections.
If it was salt water... don't even bother.
You can try to limp it along but it will likely eventually fail completely. Once corrosion is present it is a progressive process.
If you think it still has water in it, it must be dried completely asap. At the very least the rear cover needs to come off... and don't use rice, etc for god's sake. A fan in a warm dry room and/or what I said earlier.

Hi, so this is a partial port of a thread I started over on the General forum.
I may have possibly water damaged my Captivate a few days ago. It wasn't submerged or anything, but was in my pocket when I got water on my lap, and didn't come out immediately.
I disassembled the phone and let it dry for a few days, and after putting the battery back in and starting it things seemed to be working fine. However, the battery was almost dead to begin, and when I plugged the charger into the USB port, I got an error about battery temp being too high and charging pausing as a result.
When I plug the phone in while it is off to the wall charger, I get a screen that flashes from the usual charging picture (the battery with a little bit of green in it) to a picture of a batter next to a caution sign and a high temperature thermometer.
What should I do? I see no signs of corrosion on the battery itself or the pins that connect with it. So long as the phone was not plugged in, I got no errors and it worked fine (on the 2% battery life that is now extinguished). This leads me to believe the problem is in the micro USB port on the top of the phone, but I can't be sure. I cannot see in it very well and don't want to disassemble it unless I have to.
Should I just buy a new battery? Will I never be able to charge my phone through the USB jack? Does this mean I should get an independent charger for the battery, and just juice it up that way from now on (a big hassle)? Any and all advice or experience appreciated.
Has nobody had any experience with this?
If a phone gets wet when power is applied (ie: sleep mode), usually it doesn't matter if you let it dry. The damage is already done. Moisture in the usb connector can do all kinds of weird things to a phone.
Have you tried cleaning the gold battery contacts on the phone and the battery? You can use rubbing alcohol on the phone contacts, followed by a white eraser.
I'd go ahead and buy a new battery. If it doesn't work, you'll have a spare when you buy a new phone.

I haven't tried using isopropyl yet. There doesn't seem to be any corrosion on the contacts whatsoever, so I didn't think it necessary. I'll give it a go.
It may be worth nothing that neither of the water indicators have turned color. Of course, the USB jack is a long way from where those water indicators are... It is completely plausible water got in there and never got down to the battery or contacts. Like I said, the only problems I've encountered are when the phone is plugged in to the charger...
Thanks for the advice though. I'll try it. If not, maybe its time to consider dismantling this thing and attempting a wipe down of the USB jack...
Hi there. I had moto g 2 non lte this year. Sometime around spring of this year, i was on a vacation. While on vacation, I dropped my moto g and my bag into a river and thought i would never see it again.
A few days ago, the authorities said they had found my bag with all my possesions and my moto g. they shipped them to me.
I would like to know if there is any chance of recovering my device? So far, I've opened the back cover and saw it was covered in water. Some parts were also rusted. The display has weird purple blotches around the edge. I have tried to power on or charge the device. I have put the device in a bag of rice and put it in a warm area of my house.
Will I need to swap out any parts? Where could I find parts? I'm willing to replace parts. Also, where could I find instructions for replacing parts?
Thanks.
After sitting in water that long I'd be surprised it it ever came back from the dead. Also the worst thing you can do is to power on a wet phone. I would guess that you have some rust on the board, plus in the usb and earphone holes. I personally think the parts would exceed the value of the phone.
Hi there. I've opened up the main board, and I have not tried power it on. I've removed the battery, sim card, and buttons. The main bored appears corroded and I dried it off. If I dip it in 91% isoploryl alcohol, would it remove corrosion? I also saw corrosion in the ports. If I remove all the corrosion and water, logically the device would work again, right?
Anything is possible, you can also put a wet device in a bag of uncooked rice if no type of desiccant or silica powder is available. That will absorb moisture from places you can't see. As for alcohol, alcohol is a solvent and can dissolve the internal adhesives. If it was salt water, that's even worse since it dries and leaves crystals behind. I'll be shocked if you get it working completely after soaking in water. I'm surprised the sim card didn't get ruined.

At this point in time, I really don't care if the son card works or not. I just want to get to the point where I can power the device on and charge. I be read online in many places people suggested to dip your device in 91% isopropyl alcohol. Where can I get this alcohol and how much would it be? I have placed the device in a paper towel and put on top of a heating vent in my house. I'll see if that does anything.
That's regular alcohol that's sold at any drugstore or store that sells first aid stuff. You can buy it in different percentages of strength.

OH MY GOD. I CLEANED OUT THE INTERNALS, REMOVED ALL THE CORROSION I COULD WITH A TOOTHBRUSH, THEN SCREWED THE THING BACK TOGETHER. THEN I PLUGGED IT IN, AND GUESS WHAT, THERE ARE SIGNS OF LIFE!!!! The boot screen blinks for one second and goes away. There is a white led that constantly flashes. The device shows 0% charging. I have tried to boot it into recovery but the device keeps bootlooping. It turns on by itself, blinks white led, shows motorola screen, shuts off then repeats the process. I'll leave it to charge and see what happens.
Okay so maybe I reacted too quickly. I'm trying to get the device working. So far, I can boot it into fast boot mode and no further. My computer recognizes the device and can perform fast boot operations. I have tried to flash the stock firmware but the device reports error low battery remote failure on some operations. The device still does not boot. I plugged in the device for about an hour, but the second I take it off the charger, it cannot function. The device still is boot looping when it's plugged in. What should I do now?
Make absolutely sure there is no corrosion in the USB plug. After that, I don't have any ideas, something in the charge circuit has a problem or something between the battery and board.

I can't seem to remove the corrosion in the USB plug. Besides, I can plug my device into the wall or the computer and at least has limited function, however removing the plug will cause the device to loose power. The device shows up on my pc and I tried writing the factory image but the device is still in it's weird bootloop. My computer just keeps playing the USB disconnected and connected sound everytime the device does the bootloop. If I boot into fastvoor I can moto device manager to show and it says fastboot falcon s
That may be part of your problem. The corrosion in the plug could cause most of your problem. That port only costs 50 cents US, but I believe its tightly soldered in and if that's the case it would be very hard to replace without a special soldering gun.

Probabily your battery is dead
I can leave my note 8 in a humid room (such as the bathroom during a shower), and it will trigger the device to say that there's moisture in the device. Recently, i even had it in my pocket while I was working, port down, and it still triggered. The device can sit on a desk in the living room or bedroom for several hours without the warning going away. Anyone else having this issue? Or does anyone know of a way to disable this feature? It's a major pain in the neck, and moisture was never an issue with my Note 3. I understand the idea behind it, to stop the charging process if it falls into water (which would generally require an idiot to begin with), but it's too sensitive in my opinion. Already, it has prevented me from charging my device when battery was critically low on at least two occasions.

Sounds like moisture is getting into your device. I'd return it.
So, the problem was corrosion in my USB port. The Sprint store couldn't do anything because it's "liquid damage." Thankfully, I was able to clean the crud it of the port, but it's still a little finicky. Wireless charging still works fine... Thankfully. So, corrosion will trigger the moisture sensor... Ugh. At least I got it taken care of now.

You can only charge with wireless charging?
I used some vinegar and the eject pin to scrape the contacts clean, and corded charging works too now. But the moisture sensor doesn't stop wireless charging.
Probably would be a good idea to invest in this...

Just spray some electric contact cleaner in there perhaps? Bizare that Samsung would not use corrosion resistance contacts for the USB port.
Perhaps, didn't have any, so vinegar was the next best thing.
Okay. I really need help here guys. So long ago I had water damaged my phone and I got it working again. About 2-3 months later the battery started acting up and showing percentages in 10s and soon after could only use it when it was plugged in.
Now, whenever I plug it in it immediately shows the Huawei logo and starts to boot up. Which I don't like because I remember it used to show a green battery circle before. But nevertheless its in a bootloop now. The weird thing is, I can't use the volume up button method. I don't know why. It just carries on.
Maybe I should wet the power button with water if its been held down causing it to immediately boot up when plugged in? i dont know.
If anyone could guide me or suggest what to do I would honestly be so appreciative. Thank you so much!
Could be a hardware issue. Water is causing corrosion to metal parts and if there is still a bit water inside your phone the corrosion can damage parts of the hardware. It's risky to use the phone without drying it completely. In the most bad case the battery can be shorted by the water which can cause a battery fire or explosion.
Bring your phone to a repair shop if you're not able to open it by yourself. But I think there's no hope anymore.
You should've let it dry completely before using it again.
Don't put water again to parts of the phone.
If you're able to open it, disconnect the battery and check the logic board for corrosion and water.
If there's still water you can remove it early by putting the logic board on a piece of cloth and wait for a few days.
You can also try to clean corroded parts with pure alcohol and cotton swaps.
Get a new battery to be safe, check if the old one is misformed. If it's so, don't use it again - NEVER!
Li-ion isn't a funny thing, it can be very dangerous.
If there's a shortage inside the battery or it's physically damaged it can burn out. The technology is based on cells. If the cells are getting shorted each other, a chain reaction starts and inside the battery the current flow can get so high that the battery start burning. It stops when every cell is damaged and the voltage is 0 - it's hard to extinguish such fires. There are many videos on YouTube.
So don't make fun with this, just do something if you feel safe in electronics. If not, go to a repair shop.
Hi,
I'd like to ask you for some advices or maybe a solution. Lately I was updating phone by adb fastboot to xiaomi.eu rom V13.0.12.0.SKACNXM from 12.5 (xiaomi.eu), and doing little cleaning like uninstalling/disabling services by adb or Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools the phone was working for a week or almost two, but suddenly by day it went off. I tried to boot it on, and it was working as always normaly but the thing is after half a minute it is going off again.
It works always in that way:
Booting -> working (ex doing photos, browsing or launching games) -> several seconds goes by -> turing off
The thing is that if im in fastboot mode it is not turning off at all, it could lay like that for hours
I've tried other chargers - the same
Downgrading back to 12.5 (after turning it on it is always playing against time, to turn on developer options -> turning off -> turn usb debug in settings -> turning off) - still same
Event after a downgrade, installation of twrp and doing solid wipe for fresh miui 12.5 (thinking that it was miui 13 fault) -> installed xiaomi.eu 12.5 - it is still the saaaaaaame
I'm out of ideas. I've called non authorized service in my town, asking if they had some devices with that problem, but no. Im in Europe and told them that I bought that phone by tradingshenzen - they told me that there is no guarantee that they could help (devices exported to EU are different than those to China's).
I bought my phone in november 2021 and everything was fine to that unfortunate day.
I'll be glad if someone could help me with this problem
Cheers
Hard to say; you change the firmware which compounds the diagnostic process.
Is it a firmware or software crash?
Try safe mode to try to rule out a 3rd party app causing it.
Can you roll it back to the previous firmware? However if it shuts down while doing that... it won't be pretty.
Otherwise, a failed battery, C port or mobo.
A battery may show a good voltage but not be able to deliver enough current capacity. Normally it would drop out at bootup though.
Play with it... hands on is probably needed here. A good tech could sort it out.

How to check if it is a firmware problem? When I installed TWRP then I could too operate for some time without turning itself off randomly.
I've tried safe mode and recovery mode but it's the same always unfortunately :/
Also I could say that I have washed phone with a little of water pressure (doing it time to time) the day before this issue. But it is IP68 waterproof phone, and nothing was loose in the whole phone case, just outward usb-c port like in any smartphone.
I read on some forums that mobo could be defective, but but should it boot up and run for a while then?

Water? Not good. The seals may or may not seal... don't test them.
IMEI is visible in phone settings. But the SIM card is not.
When i wash the phone water pressure is not that strong, I am aware of it. Phone cost me a little $$$ so I am not testing it's durability that much at all
Seriously I have no idea what is the cause of this problem
Seems like you have a few drops of water in the phone. Since the device is tight sealed it is really hard to get them out.
Please try this carefully, and if the mobo is alright then you should get away with this method (tried my self when I took my device for a dive)
1- you'll need to abandon your device for a full days or nights, longer better.
2- TURN OFF YOUR DEVICE AND LEAVE IT OFF THE WHOLE PROCESS, and take out your Sim card and leave tray open. This will open a gap in device for moist to leak out.
3- get any type of moisture absorbers you can find in stores. (Not rice, proper chemical moisture absorbers).
4- put moisture absorber in a plastic bag, and put the device in it, prefer to put a divider between device and absorber so it does not leave any marks on device. (Just in case, I did not use any dividers and it went alright with me).
5- leave device for a full night or 2. (Longer better). Plastic bag should be completely sealed with little quantity of air inside it (not so vacuumed to give little air movement).
***6- if you want to speed up process which what I did, then put the device in the oven with a temperature BELOW 50c. If you go higher than that then most likely you'll ruin the copper wiring, connections and lose your device permanently. (I put it in the oven). Do it for 15mins then turn off oven but leave device in it for an hour or 2, then redo process 2 or 3 times and leave the device in the bag for a whole night.
**** DO NOT PUT YOUR DEVICE IN MICROWAVE AT ANY COSTS, OR YOULL LOSE BOTH DEVICE AND MICROWAVE AND COULD LOSE YOUR HOUSE AS WELL IF IT CATCHES FIRE.
I'd this did not help (I bet it will help), then your MOBO is dead unfortunately.
My device kept turning off whenever the sensor (that turns off screen during calls) in use, for 3 days until I did this and it was perfect since then.
Hope this helps.
If you try this, please advise if it worked with you or not.

It's a thought but not enough. You need heat to drive the moisture out*, desiccants are useless for this. You need a hot dry room and airflow across the inside of the device.
Most of all the battery needs to be disconnected asap to limit the damage to the power buses, and pads bearing power.
The rear cover should be pulled... overkill is better than a corroded mobo and connectors.
Note: anhydrous isopropyl alcohol can be used as a drying agent but good judgment must be exercised. Any solvent can poison a lcd display, even the vapors and should never be used when a lcd is present. Residue from evaporation can happen if the alcohol gets in between the front glass and display. The alcohol must be allowed to permeate the whole assembly and connectors. It then must be removed in a warm dry room as much as is practical and allowed to completely dry.
*Heat drives out moisture ie a hot box which works even in high ambient humidity. Used to preserve cams, lens, surgical instruments, etc.
Old school.

That is excessive, not for only a few drops. I do not recommend doing this unless the device is soaked with water and dripping from inside. Because inexperience in doing this could cause more issues than a few drops.
I video recorded with my device underwater at depth of 1.5m for a few minutes, and I did what I mentioned above, device is clean and clear for more than 6 months since the incident. Not a single glitch since dried like I said above.

There's no telling how much is inside unless you pull the rear cover. Worse with the battery connected electrolysis can occur and rapidly destroy any energized conductors.If it's under a BGA chipset and causes damage, game over. Mobo mounted connector pins that get damaged will have a similar outcome. Once corrosion starts it is persistent and invasive.
The faster you pull the battery the better.
Leaving any water inside is not acceptable.

Whatever you say my friend, if you believe a wash without pressure caused a lot of water to enter in a tight sealed device needs all this to be done, maybe you are right. And maybe you are wrong. Won't harm to try what I said, it is his decision.
If it was me, I wouldn't open a costly device without proper tools. Unless it is my last option.

They aren't that hard to open. A rear cover is cheap to replace if you get clumsy, just don't cut into anything inside if using a razor blade. Heat gun, anhydrous isopropyl, guitar picks or old credit cards, a razor blade. Watch a couple tear down vids for that model.
With the battery connected the damage continues unabated if there's water in critical areas.
You assume the seals are intact... obviously a seal failed. The seals are flimsy and can fail over time or if installed improperly. There's no way to know the extent of the contamination without inspecting it. Regardless to dry it properly requires pulling the cover.
When my Galaxy Buds case fell in a cup of coffee (cream & sugar) I tore it apart on the spot. Flushed with RO water for the sugar then with anhydrous isopropyl. Couldn't disconnect the spot welded Li. Allow to fry for a day. Over 2 years later it still works and charges. Timely intervention matters.
Its happening with me too but for me its due to high temperature, when my phone gets heated it will restart no matter what I'm doing. Very few times it says limiting battery usage due to overheating. When I'm in my room it doesn't happen due to AC but in outside when i use maps it will heat and restart so my solution of avoiding it is trying to prevent phone from overheating. It may be happening with you as well but i don't know, the conditions may be different for both.

I live in tropical conditions (stable 35c all year long) and I do not have this issue, since you are on EU, I believe it is rom issue

No bro its not related to ROM issue. Btw i m using eu latest weekly. I know its only due to heated weather because when environment temperature is good it never do like this. Only happens if it heats too much and i can feel that heat when touching it.

You need to look at all the temperature sensors when this happens.
You may have a bad temperature sensor that's causing it to trip out at too low a temperature.
