Since some days I couldn't charge my tablet. The red led on the power button did not light when I plug in the charger. First I thought the port is completely broken but when I connect the tab to my pc I have the full access. My second thought was CM10.1, but I flashed the latest RC10.1.2. and it won't charge anyway. Besides I didn't read anything about such failure. Then I have tried with another charger but it also did not charge. Now I have only left 35% battery.
Is it possible that the micro-usb-port is broken for charging but not for connecting to the pc? It sounds a little bit strange to me. I just want to find out if it is hardware or software related.
Thanks for your help.

On my A510, I had a problem with the charger, by connecting via USB to my PC I was able to charge my tablet, something like 3% per hour XD
If it works for you too, that means that is might be your charger the problem (and not the tablet)

Obviously it is the charger. You are right. I have plugged in the tab with the charger of my Defy and 8! hours later it charged about 40%. So yes, it is the charger.
I will send back the tab because it is the same failure as it was with my A500. Now I will try the Xperia tablet Z.
Thanks anyway.

Hello, recently I'm having a problem with my Galaxy Core with charging!
This occurs randomly, few times only! Not always:
When I plug in the charger, as usual, it shows battery charging! Even after charging one hour, when charger is unplugged, the battery meter doesn't increase! I've tried restarting, cooling down battery, charging again, and it charged normally 100%. So, basically it does not bother me much, but just wanna know if this happens to anybody else, and as, I think, its a hardware problem, so I worry about it?
Another thing is if I connect my APACER B120 Mobile Bank, the phone doesn't charge, does not even show its plugged in. Other phones charges perfectly, even with the same cable. Has anyone tried charging with this, or any portable charger? Thanks!
sound like hardware problem man
Make sure your usb cable is working and use the cable you got with the phone.

I have only one cable, and it is the one I got with the phone. Cable works fine even on Tether/ReverseTether!
When I connect my phone to the charger it doesn't charge I can hear the sound of the charging and it charges for seconds then I can't see the charging sign or the red lamb I tried to power it off and connected it again but the same I managed to charge it but when I tought the phone the charging stopped.
I am sorry for my bad English but I need help very quickly
Have you tried using a different charger and see if it charges OK if it does its a dodgy charger. If you still have the same problem with a different charger it's probably the actual charging point on the phone if it's had alot of use also depends how carefully it's been plugged in each time in which case it would probably need the motherboard/charging point replacing
Hi, I am a novice in phone repairs though I have successfuly replaced the screen and charging ports on a samsung s6 and note 4.
I am requiring some expert advice on this problem, I was given an XZ from my friend with a cracked screen and charging problem, the charging port became temperamental and failing (at least I think it was that) and eventually wouldn't charge at all. The charging port was handled a bit harshly toward the end, for example the charging cable lifted up and down to try to get a charging response.
Anyway I ordered a screen/digitizer and charging port flex for it, and fitted them, following a guide. Before this, the phone had around 2% charge. After the repair, I switched it back on and conncted the charger, the screen was fine, however there was no response from the charger. The phone then ran flat and eventually ran flat enough to not be able to show the "low charge" symbol when the phone is off. Then after plugging and unplugging the cable (via USB in the pc) it would charge for what seemed a second then stop, the red charging notification light was lighting up. The same happened with a wall charger. I then stripped it back down and back together again. This time there was no response if I remember right, then I connected it to the wall charger and left it for 3 hours or so. I went back to it and it had charged up to 15%.
Now i'm at the point where the phone is working, it's on 90% now, but it charges very slowly, around 60-350 mA per hour on Ampere app. So a full charge is around 12+ hours. This is in the wall socket with a fast charger. Additionally, it takes 10 seconds for the phone to recognise the charger after is is plugged in and that is consistent each time I plug it in. The phone now isn't recognised by my PC via USB, and also won't charge that way also, it just doesn't do anything if I plug it in there. Other than that, the phone works and it holds its charge well.
Any ideas? Thank you.

pick up an original sony charging cable - no idea why it makes such a difference, but.........
Hi, thanks for the reply, I bought a sony charger but it's still the same, drawing about 50-300 milliamps from wall charger, not recognised by PC and takes 10 secs exactly for the phone to recognise it's being charged. It's just odd how it stopped charging before the "fix", now the new flex lets it charge slowly. Can a battery problem cause this? It still holds its charge well. Maybe this problem is recognisable by some phone repair experts around here? any ideas?
Thanks
Noticed the phone only draws charge from a 3amp charger, anything less isn't recognized. And the power drawn from a 3amp can be 30-1000ma but averages around 300 ma. Can anybody point me to a hardware forum maybe? I can't find any, i guess it need taking to a phone expert but it's gonna end up costing more than its worth with the stuff i have done already.
Aukey Quickcharge 3.0 is working fine. It is cheap too.
I have just purchased a aukey charger, but my XZ seems to be taking longer to charge than the UH20 charger that came with my XZ. Any suggestions guys?

Buy a UCH20

Have you tried cleaning/replacing the charging port itself? As i see, you replaced only the flex cable.
There's probably extremely weak contact somewhere in the charging hardware i think, because you need 3.0 A charger to get any kind of charging response. Weaker current probably gets lost at that 'weak contact'.
Buying new chargers won't fix that if you ask me
I have exactly same problem with you
I am about to buy a new charger, yet I saw your post
At first I thought it was the cable. Then my cable work normal with other phone. So does my charger, it connect perfectly with other phone (xperia xz premium and xiaomi mi5)
It seems that our phoneis the only one who can'y charge normally.
I am quite depressed, also looking for solution. Mind if you share if you have succedeed? Thanks before

Try plug in and plug out. My phone sometimes charge a normaxl. But need a lot of effort
Solved
Use the the detect usb in the notification keys before connecting the charger,, this will solve the fast recharging issues
Did you solved problem? I have same issue. Changed battery, usb-flex, no luck
Hi,
I have bought an used XZ.
The owner sold me this phone because he need new battery. I have replaced the old one after a week of test. The old battery works only for 6/10h and drain totally during night even if the phone is turned off. The new one have the same problem. I try to solve with an other battery, and nothing same problem. 12h of standby, after is totally drained. The strange thing is that I have the same battery life even when the phone is turned off, but not only this. If the phone is in 0% he charge without problem. If we have any % of battery I need to connect and disconnect the charger from a wall plug many and many times before he start charging. Phone give me the charge icon for a second and after nothing until I disconnect the charger from a wall plug(I have tested different charger and cable). During my investigation I have found that this phone results every time a little bit hot even if turned off. I have try to disconnect all is possibile, but the heat is from CPU! Now I know that this is the cause of fast discharging in all conditions.
Now I need to know if anyone with a "normal" unit feel the phone heat while turned off and while is on wich temperature have. Mine is every time on 34/35° in standby. Let me know,
thanks
i have same problem . sony xperia xz and sony corp is very very Rubbish
Hi Guys,
I found a way to charge my Xperia XZ with the same loop problem.
Try to push upper volume pad together with power button and plug in the charging cable.
Hold the buttons for 3-5 minutes - you will feel vibrating signals like 3 short and 1 long.
so hold it and then simply leave it for a several minutes and it should start to accept the charge.
Alex Kutikhin
Yes - I had this problem...fixed it by holding in POWER UP and OFF button for 120 seconds.
Do not let go...you will feel vibration (1 short, 3 short). Keep holding for 120 seconds.
Device should now be powered down. Plug in charger cable and leave device off until 100% charged.
Still no fix for the original post’s problem? Having the exact issue with my xzs right now.

Old Thread, I know, but I encountered this issue today on an Sony X compact - F5321. Fixed it and want to report back for the next guy.
Same symptoms, noticed first a slow charge, phone was drawing low current and only responding to cable after 10 seconds of plugging in. I than checked for data connection, couldn’t get any. Opened it changed the USB port - BINGO - that fixed the issue, everything working nice.
TLTR: no Solution in Software, it’s a faulty USB-port. change it.
Have a nice day.
My xperia phone battery died (I left it charging overnight but woke up to it dead). The red LED at the top-left is not showing up (it blinked for 5 mins then it has never come back on) .
I’ve had it on the charger for 5 hours and nothing... holding the power button doesn't do anything, same for VOL UP + POWER, vol down + power, etc etc.
*
I tried a few different kinds of USB C cables (plus 1 sony cable and a sony charger) with a few other chargers (anker, ipad, motorola). Nothing.
*
While plugged in, the phone has a slight warmth to it as if its actually charging, but no sign of life. I’ve replaced the battery with a new one and it didnt fix the problem. It's also not detected by my PC.
*
To add, before the phone died it was taking around 10secs to detect the usb c cable and 9-12hours to charge fully from single digits. I got the battery changed, it still did what I described above and ultimately died a couple weeks later.
Any ideas whats the problem?

Your type c connector might be broken or the whole assembly that type c is connected to. Cuz its unnatural for xz to charge that slow. Mine is fully charged in 1,5 h so check the type c connector related things.

Thank you, I just ordered the usb c port (and flex assembly)... since I have the phone open, I will replace and report an update.

Good luck!
I had problems with type c connectors breaking in my lg g6 so changing the connector should fix the problem, report when youve done your testing.
