hi everyone.
ai bought a second hand gear 1 from ebay and the seller said she obly used it twice when she got it a year ago and its been sat unused since then.
my issue is that i charge the watch up and it seems to go down normally and then when its about halfway down it just dies and wont turn on for at least 20mins then when it starts up it shows 0% battery and shuts down. then i power up again later and its back to halfway?
i have tryed resetting many times and nothing seems to work. I have also tryed putting the Null custom rom on and makes no differance. the watch is perfect apart from that. my thought is that the battery inside is stuffed from not being used for so long but not sure
thanks for ur input guys!
Matt
Does it get hot?
It may be shutting down due to excess heat, partic since you say it restarts later.
How long did you charge it for, I've read that a PC USB charge of 16 hours+ may be needed if the watch has been left sometime without charge.
Other than that it may mean that you need a new battery - sorry.
thanks very much for the advice. it was the battery. i replaced it and all seems ok now
Hi guys, did anyone had problems with mi9. problems = it doesn't charge or boot anymore. it's kinda dead
It happened a couple of weeks ago. at some moment I could start it by long-pressing the power button and I could use it for about a week. In this period the phone suddenly shuts off every day or so but I could start it again after a few hours, charge it and so on. The battery seems to drain a little during this period but nothing major.(eg.phone shuts off with 90% and after 2 hours when I start it again it had 78%). Regarding the shutting down problem, it didn't happened when the phone was used heavily like playing games(actually I didn't play games at all) but in regular user mode like browsing a site, scrolling on Facebook and so on.
A few days ago the phone went off again but this time I couldn't start it anymore and it doesn't charge anymore. Tried to long-press power button, power + volume buttons, power + vol down/vol up. The phone's kinda dead.
I bought the phone from China(aliexpress) and it's still in warranty. However, it will take a while(probably 2-3 months until I will receive it back) and kinda costly to ship it back in China from Europe.
I had the developer rom on this since day 2(April) and didn't installed 3rd party firmware, like xiaomi.eu or others.
Don't know if it's battery-related or it has to do with some other hardware problem.
Now I'm thinking whether to send it back or to open it myself, try to clean it or to replace the battery(I will need to order a battery from aliexpress since I couldn't find any in my country) or go to a local service so they can check it out. In both cases, I will surely lose the warranty.
Anyways, anyone had a similar problem with their Mi 9? Any advice?
Thanks

I was having almost identical issue with Redmi Note 5 Pro and in the end it was battery!

Hello,
If you bought it from Aliexpress, you have a one year warranty with Allianz Global Assistance . You can therefore open a claim.
They will send you a prepaid label to send it to a local repair center in your country.

Hi, I have the exact same issue. Did you manage to fix it?

No, I didn't. I assumed is battery fault and I ordered a battery from aliexpress back in January before going with the phone to a service. That battery never arrived lol.
Therefore I will probably go with the phone to a service as it is. But that will happen after covid
I have the same issue but I have soaked my phone under water. So I think I also need a new battery, as I have opened the phone and it doesn't seem there is any kind of corrosion. I have seen there are batteries with bigger capacity, I wonderbif it is safe or not!
I have the same exact issue. I sent it to service repair and they just sent me a quote: just formatting the phone. I'm challenging them because formatting means software, and I'm pretty sure if the phones does not turn on with multiple different button press and combinations, it's not software...
Did u found the solution? Is the battery problem?

It doesn't have anything to do with the battery. I went with the phone at two repair shops and they both said the motherboard or cpu is broken.
A reballing could be a solution but they don't have tools for that
Finally, I sent the phone back to China for warranty and now I'm waiting since it will take about 2 months lol.
I was thinking if it was the motherboard flex cable .. I just ordered a new one from online, after few weeks will inform here
I have had the exact same problem. I have had the phone just less than a year. It just out of the blue turned off. Then this kept happening. It was then fine when I was playing music on it for a couple of hours. Then it was fine when I was charging it overnight and for most of the next day. Then it kept turning off again. Was able to turn it on again most of the times by holding down the power button for a few seconds, but now it will not turn on no matter what I do. There is no indication that it is charging.
Did anyone manage to fix this problem? I had the same issue, but the phone is back to normal again...
I'm having the same problem. Any solution found? I tried replacing the battery, but no luck so far.
After a few times turning on suddenly, I tried keeping without a SIM card, and the phone didn't power off for two days...
Then I tried to put the sim card, and it turned off about 30 min later...
It all started a couple weeks ago, at first I was with MIUI 11 and now Im running MIUI 12.
Just happened on my phone - exactly the same as above - power button was working to reset, now nothing
Cuando esta muerto
Prueben con chimera cargarle el firmware original, pero primero tendrá que hacer un te,s,t P,o,int. para generar el puerto edl. si necesitan ayuda con todo gusto puedo orientales mas. Esto es para teléfonos totalmente muertos, reviven por que reviven.
MOD EDIT: Please post only in English according to the FORUM RULES,translation added below:
Try chimera loading the original firmware, but first you'll have to do a te,s,t P,o,int. to generate the edl port. if you're happy to have help, I can make orientals more. This is for totally dead phones, they revive because they revive.
As other people have said, once battery runs flat it then charges, and ok for a few hours before it happens again (dead and cant do anything). I have an RMA with Xiaomi
I have the same problem. My 1 years mi 9 just dead. I wake up and its still working when i use it to chat, then the phone shutdown on its own after I left it for an 1 hour. I try powering it on its still work. Then I go to friends place I check my phone and its turnef off on its own again. This time my friend tried to turn it on and it work. But when we go to eat, I check it was turned off again and It cant be turned on anymore. Plz help
I sent mine back as part of a warranty repair. I've just been informed it's been fixed and is being sent back to me. They confirmed they replaced the main board and upgraded the software (although it was already running the latest MI9 update with MIUI12).
Heello, this issue exactly same with me, since july 2020. Now i repair on 2 different repair shop, but they do nothing. It was ok if i dont put the sim card on my phone, after put in sim card, it happen (died) for quickly. and sometimes cant charged anymore.
Hope anyone solved this issue, what is the main problem with this mi 9.
Exactly the same issue!
For few days it works after the "fastboot" method. But now it won't turn on.
Any suggestions?
Hi, I don't really know how to describe my problem but I'll try my best...
My Mi 9 shuts down from time to time and I can not simply reboot it but have to wait until it miraculously recovers. I had my battery replaced a few months ago and thought it could cause my problems, therefor I opened up phone my phone to get some information on what the problem is. First of all I noticed that some screws where loose, I checked the battery connector but that seems to be alright so I put everything back where it belongs and made sure all screws are thightend up. Now my phone boots up and I can use it as usual but it still shuts down from time to time without any interaction. I also noticed that I can bring it back to life if I put pressure on the 2 screws with the warranty indicators. Yesterday I deactivated the haptic feedback to see if the vibrations somehow kill the electric circuit or something like that. So far 24h past without any outage!
I found a few old threads (like this one) with somehow similar issues but couldnt really find a solution. Most said it is a battery issue but I'm sure it is not (bought a new one + I also tested it with the old original battery). Any suggestions would be much appreciated or maybe if you have this problem with your Mi 9 you could try the things I stated above (in case your phone dies & you need to bring it back to life to backup your data)
Yea, so you'll need component level hardware repair to take care of that, possible short circuit
Hi All,
I have come across a weird problem with my realme X2pro.
Few months ago I dropped my phone and the screen was dead, however the phone was powering on and since it had Microsoft My Phone setup I was able to receive the calls and messages on my laptop whenever the phone was powered On.
Since there was lockdown I preferred to order OnePlus and get the phone repaired later, after 2 months I got the screen replaced at authorized service center and the phone worked fine for 10 days.
After that one day it just switched off and wont power On irrespective of what I try, after about 20 days I tried to power it on again and to my surprise it powered on and then switched of after 5 minutes (battery showed 100% charge). After that if I try to power On there is no sign of any power or activity on the phone.
I lost all hopes and now after 3 months I powered it on randomly after leaving it for a full charge (4 hours) and surprisingly it power on and worked fine for 5 minutes and then shut down.
I had taken the phone to service center and they say that motherboard was fault and wanted to charge 18K as its the Master Edition Phone.
I am technically sound person as I work for a tech company and know my stuff around Android, Windows and BB phones very well.
I have tried fastboot and recovery to load with diff power button combinations but absolutely no sign o power.
I am suspecting this is a battery issue but need to get some 2nd opinion before I spend 2k, already spent 15k for the screen though.
Thanks in advance for your support and guidance.
I think i have figured out that there is a battery issue with the phone.
The battery has to be charged for at least 10+ hrs before it allows to power ON.
However now I have ended up with another issues.
After booting the phone to the OS successfully, I chose to flash to old version as I wasn't able to access fastboot.
The flashing completed successfully but now I am stuck on Realme Logo and phone does not boot to android.
I am also not able to boot to recovery or fastboot mode as I was rolling back from Android 11
Any help here will be appreciated.
Hello - I signed up specifically to post this after several hours of lurking. Nice to meet you all.
I have owned an Asus rog 2 tencent edition 512GB for somewhere around 3 years, purchased second hand from ebay.
The phone has worked flawlessly, replaced the screen/digitizer once. Moderate usage, I never game on it really.
Just last night I was using it at about 3% battery, it froze for around 5 seconds and then went black. No sound, no lights flashing, and no vibrations. Maybe worth mentioning I am terrible for charging it, maybe to around 30% then I use it til dead. Rarely full charge.
Left overnight, plugged into multiple different chargers/cables without any effect. Any and all volume/power button combinations have no effect.
When i connect via the fast charge port to my laptop, the device manager recognizes it as "QUSB_BULK_CID:0404_SN:7B331019" (no drivers installed/found) even though the phone shows no visible signs of life. Could this perhaps be EDL mode?
The phone contains a years worth of work so I absolutely cannot afford to reset it.
I am hoping its a battery fault. I have located the Qualcomm PM8150B IC chip on aliexpress, and am currently waiting on delivery of a new battery.
Sorry if my technical language is a little off the mark, this is all very fresh for me.
Appreciate any tips, guidance or help - thankyou very much, from a very stressed out stonemason.
