I am having Huawei Ascend Mate 7 mobile phone.
Few days back, phone charging got very very slow. It takes 10 hours to completely charge the phone. I thought it might be due to data cable. I buyed new one but same problem.
Then I connected my mobile to pc, then it showed USB not recognised.
I thought to reflash the software but for that stock recovery is required which can be flashed only with data cable but data cable is not working.
Then I tried charging my phone with a charging cable with only 2 wires. Now, the phone takes 5 hours to completely charge the phone.
Then I thought it might be due to faulty charging port. I ordered new usb flex cable spare part from aliexpress and got it replaced . But still the same problems . Slow charging, usb not recognised
I am also attaching images of flex cable, charging cables
Please help me know what could be issue and any solution to this?
Is there anyway to flash stock recovery without data cable
I have the same problem.
Can anyone help me ?!!
Hi all,
Anybody experiencing slow charging from time to time? I noticed when I plug in the phone to the outlet it doesn't recognize the cable instantly and the phone vibrates three times then the charging indicator turns on! I tried to plug in the phone to my PC and it was not recognized by it.
Two days later the problem disappeared and everything was back to normal, charging fast and able to connect it to the PC.
Now a day after that it's back to the old problem!
I am not sure if that is a software issue or a hardware defect!
Any ideas?
PS. I tried two different cables and another AC adapter
Sent from my F8331 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Good day,
I am having the same problem. Any updates, solution or ideas regarding to this?
Hope for a reply soon.
Thank you.
I'm using XC but am having similar issues lately. This problem has also disturbed BatteryCare because it thinks the phone was plugged and unplugged repeatedly.
Currently i am dealing with an issue with my Honor 8 which deals with fast charging and connecting the device to a PC. My device takes between 5-8 hours to charge, i've also tried another Honor 8 USB Type C charger which belongs to my friend. And It's still not working. It also won't connect to any PC. It always shows that the device is not recognizable and or has malfunctioned. Funny thing is that i sent it in for a Warranty Repair which once i got back, still has the SAME issue!! They "Claim" to have changed the USB Type C Port, Battery, and Charger with USB Type C cable. Spent plenty of time on the phone with Huawei trying to find a solution but i'm not getting a great solution. They escalated the situation to "Higher Up" after i spoke to a manager (Second Time) to see what else can be done. I'm thinking motherboard kinda fried a little one day while charging?? Some hidden Toggle within settings to enable fast charging and PC connection?? Anyone else having this same issue??? This happened out of nowhere as well. One day working and the next Issues everywhere! Sorry for the long Rant. But i'm still wondering if someone has pr had the same issue or kinda the same issue. I can't be the only one with this issue.
Sorry to hear but this happens to the best of devices.. At least Honor/Huawei are investigating the problem. But I would of thought they would conduct a test on your phone when it came in and again before sending it out to you. Still they would have to put on their jig and run a full test and or ship your out a replacement device.
i would suggest you to give it and get back another device from service center.. i think , you got a faulty unit.. bad luck..

Yeah, if you have just received your device then I'd send it back to Honor and request for a replacement unit. As yours could be faulty. However if you've had it for more than 14 days then you will have to send it back to their Service Center for repairs.
Another with the same problem here...
I bought mine from a guy (second hand) at a very good price. The Fast Charge never worked and when I connect to a computer I have the same problem...
The weird thing is that if you try to charge with a power bank or a USB from a computer or laptop it charges very fast... Very. But to the AC power it takes ages. I also try with the Charger of another guy and in a shop and never have Fast Charging... Don't know what to do because for the rest the cellphone really work well.
Same problem as above. USB charging seems to work fine but AC charging is unbearably slow (50-300 mah, 10-20 hours to charge). Running stock rooted Emui 4.1. I've tried factory resetting, unrooting, relocking bootloader, rerooting, and flashing backups from when it was working and nothing seems to have made any difference. Since USB charging works normally I hope this is just a software problem but Honor needs to look into this.
The "device is not recognizable and or has malfunctioned" sounds like you're using Windows 8 or later, so the OS should have USB 3 support baked in. Did you install HiSuite and the driver for the Honor 8? Although it's a USB type C connector only 2.0 transfer speeds are supported, so if you've got a cable with a standard USB connector data connectivity try a 2.0 port. Are you seeing any Unknown Devices in Device Manager? And is the Phone showing up?
Also, now that I'm thinking about it, PC data connection is turned off by default and has to be turned on everytime you connect the Honor 8 to a PC. There's a prompt that pops up under EMUI 5.0, but I think you had to manually change it from Charge Only to MTP/Device file manager Mode.
Fast Charging with an AC adapter only works with the charger that comes with the Honor 8 (or other Huawei phones that Fast Charge at 9V/2A). Qualcomm Quick Charge adapters will only charge at regular speed (probably 5V/1A). If you use an AC charger from an old flip phone or something a lot of those are only rated at 5V/150mA and might not provide enough juice to keep the battery from depleting if you're using the Honor 8 while charging it (and take 20 hours to hit 100%).

I am using the charger included in the package and its not working properly, also I tried with other Honor 8 Adapter that worked on my friends Honor 8 and is not working on mine. Also tried on My aukey Quick charge 3.0 compatible AC charger and is still slow as *****. If It is connected to acomputer USB charges faster than to the power line so i assume is a software problem or bug that do not detect properly the power any solution?
Can not send it back to Huawei because I bought it as second handed...

The EXACT same thing happened to me! About a week ago, my phone just stopped connecting to the MacBook. I then tried it on my windows computer, at work, and still, nothing.
I've been through the settings and changed everything and yet it is still not recognised by a computer.
My next option is to do a factory reset with the phone but I am determined to not do that as I don't want to lose so much data.
Did you resolve the issue?

Unfortunately I did not, Huawei would not do anything else, claimed to changed parts and nothing fixed the issue. So I sold my device for 80 bucks. Did you use any new chargers, car chargers, or change usb cables? I used a car charger with quick charge and a new us cable. Was charging my device while driving and noticed my phone was extremely hot. Must of unsoldered something on the motherboard.

Well I'm currently using a cable I bought from Vanguard (Shenzhen, China) and it still works now. One thing I have been doing is gaming whilst charging. The phone seems to feel hot but I didn't expect it to do this. I'm guessing the same thing would have happened if I'd been charging with the original wire which I keep at work. The constant use must have damaged it. :good:
Hello guys!
I have the same exact problem with me honor 8.
Takes forever to charge via DC and I cant access phone storage via use cable when connected to PC. I have bought and changed loads of USB cables but the problem still persists.
Anyone please help before I go crazy and ditch the phone !!!
I'm affraid there is no solution. I sent my phone back to repair centre 3 times with this problem. (No fast charge and PC not recognise. They replaced the mainboard at the end. It solved the problem for 2 days and dead again. I just gave up and living together with this fault however it's bloody annoying especially when you would like to download your pics and videos. :crying:
I have exactly the same problem, as described, with mine. It happened out of nowhere as well.

Do you use the good charger?
Till now, I used a Samsung charger with same output (ampere and volt) and it worked fine. But since 2 days, I had the same issue than you. I didn't use this one of Huawei because the plug wasn't compatible with my country. I then tinkered the connection to adapt it to my country. Now all works fine again.

Hi, I have been facing the same problem recently. Please tell me if you found any solution to the problem? I have done everything to solve it. Changed chargers, done the hard reset. Even replaced the spare part. But my Mate 8 still does not connect to PC nor does it support fast charging. Any help will be appreciated.
Hello friends
Nearly 1 month before, my phone started showing "Charging" when I connected the charger to my phone, instead of "Fast Charging". There was issue of connectivity with my laptop also. My phone was sometimes detected on my laptop, and sometimes not. I tried with another 18W charger, as well as with another 3Ampere Data Cable. But it always showed "Charging" only.
I went to Asus service center, where they also couldn't find what the problem was, and told me to deposit my phone with them. I instead of giving them my phone, went home and did a Factory Reset.
Afterwards the problem was gone, and it always showed "Fast Charging" when I connected my phone with charger.
Now since yesterday, again this issue is there. But this time it's little bit different. After connecting charger, phone shows "Charging" for about 1 minute, then starts showing "Fast Charging", but there is only 1 Plus in the battery icon in the status bar. And this thing does not happen every time. Sometimes, it shows "Charging" only, and not fast charging at all.
I have tried cleaning the Type-C port of phone as well as Data Cable, tried changing the cable used for charging the phone, tried changing the charger, but still no luck. I again did a factory reset, but this time it didn't solve my problem.
When I searched Fast Charging Problem Asus on google.com, it showed that there was similar problem in Asus Zenfone 5Z.
Has anyone facing this problem? Or if anyone knows how to solve this?
I don't want to get my 2 months old phone opened by service center at all.
See the battery icon in this screenshot..
It seems like a hardware problem. No such reports on Zentalk.

I noticed in your screenshot you have VoLTE.
That is not supposed to be possible according to Asus?

There's a "+" in the icon, so it's fast charging, just not as fast as "++". When fast charging isn't working, there is no "+" in the battery icon**.
In my case, I can only get the two "++" with the Asus original charger as all other chargers I have don't charge fast enough.
If you're having problems, you should do what they told you at the service centre.
(** It takes a few seconds for Quick Charge to enable, so you won't see the icon right away)
Yes, I am getting single plus icon in battery after about 30 seconds of connecting the charger. Previously it used to be double plus. Now since last 3-4 days, it is single plus, and charging is also quite slow. And yes it shows Fast Charging, but with single plus. When the problem started, there was just Charging, no Fast Charging. Now Fast Charging is there, but with reduced speed than before, and with single plus.
This is Indian version of Asus 6Z. Here it comes with Volte option.

Not really helpful but I'm having the EXACT same problem. Only in my case it stopped working completely, even after a factory reset.
This started on Android 9 and after the update to Android 10 it was fixed! Until I rebooted my phone and now the same problem occurs. Everything you tried, I tried too and nothing seems to work.
I hope you'll have better luck than me solving this issue, because for there only seems to be one option left and that's to send it to Asus repair centre.
I'm pretty bummed out especially because I have the 30 edition. It was naive of me to think they'd actually put extra care in this version of the ZenFone. I'm utterly disappointed and not looking forward to having this phone opened.
If you're using a 3rd party cable, try using one that came with your phone.
Before upgrading to Android 10, I was using a 3rd party cable and was getting fast charge. After the Android 10 update, however, fast charge stopped working. Once I swapped back to the cable that came with the phone, fast charge started working again.
So if you'reusing a 3rd party cable, trying using the one that came with your phone and see if fast charge starts working again.
I have tried various combinations like:
1. Default wire and default 18W charger
2. Default wire and other 18W charger
3. 3A Wire (1metre) and default 18W charger
4. 3A Wire and other 18W charger.
Tried everything, but sometimes just CHARGING, sometimes FAST CHARGING with Single Plus, and sometimes FAST CHARGING with Double plus.
From the above, it is clear that it is not at all hardware problem, because otherwise the phone wouldn't charge at all, or wouldn't show Fast Charging with some wire, and just Charging with another.
Everything depends on the current battery charge percentage.. @ 30% my phone charged at the speed of 3020MA unti 60% then dropped to 2500, then at 80% it was about 1100 MA and once around 90% i saw 650MA.. all readings using Ampere app on playstore..
Even I am facing the same problem with 6z I have the original charger but now it doesn't shows fast charge. And sometimes it takes more than 6 hours to charge the device from 15-20% to 100%. There no + or ++ sign on battery icon. Started happening after the latest update.
I have same Fast Charging issue with Asus 6z mobile. Is there any solution for this problem.
Not because of connector...
Guys, i had the same problem, won't connect to computer and won't fast charge, just one plus slow charge, i also thought it was just because there was dust in my charger or in my phone usb port, i cleaned as i could and tried, same experience, it worsened as time passed, as time passed i couldn't charge my phone anymore, charging cable connector was a little wiggly inside my charging port, so i had to adjust my cable somehow to just get charging, i also couldn't get an exact reason for the problem, so i went on with the burden, one day my phone just shut down when it was on 10 percentage battery, i was very afraid to take it to service center as my brother had bad experiences from various authorised and local service center, but one day my phone fell from hand and just won't turn on, it vibrates and it shows the off mode charging symbol for one second and goes, just nothing else, so i was confused with what was the problem whether it was with the sub board(charging port), battery or mother board. Anyways i had to take it to a service center, so atlast i took it service center and they had to send it to somewhere else to diagnose it, after two weeks i got it, they told me that my battery was short circuit(i don't know what that is) and is in bad condition, and the reason i couldn't charge was because of charging board or sub board problem, not because of wiggly port as i thought and battery was 1200 priced and sub board 350 something like that and 400 service charge, total was around 2000, and till now no problem, and they did a clean job as it seems it was never opened and the main thing, they gave me the replaced parts too and that was a surprise as i was very suspicious with these repair centre, i don't know about all asus service centers but the service in Kottayam service center in kerala was good from my experience.
