Hello, My Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s suddenly stopped charging today, both wireless and wired at the same time. Phone stays on 24/7 and hasn't been rebooted in several weeks. Tried rebooting, still no charging. Tried multiple cords and multiple wireless chargers.
It also doesn't charge in recovery mode, or in power off mode either. The small battery icon pops up in the middle, but it doesn't charge, it shuts off a few seconds later, then loads the small battery icon again, repeat.
Rooted, latest version of Arrow OS, I think that's v11. No error messages or problems before this. Phone is in great shape, never dropped or watered, thick case. This is my first, and obviously will be my LAST, Xiaomi!
I've got 20% left so I can do a little troubleshooting before it's dead forever. Any ideas? Thank you everybody!

Hi all,
i've got a normal nexus s, not rooted or anything, its running 2.3.2 as i haven't had the OTA yet. However strange things have started happening this week with regards to my battery.
I can no longer shutdown the phone whilst its plugged in, it goes through the motions, vibrates and then just hangs on the dimmed screen with shutdown on it. when i unplug the cable, it switches off. However, when i then plug the cable in, it starts up the phone, instead of just charging when switched off with that white battery meter.
It has also stopped recognising that it has been plugged in on the battery use info screen, so it is saying that i have been on battery power for almost 6 days now.
Its not a dealbreaker for me, but i haven't tinkered with anything, and its just plain annoying. I'm starting to think its just shizzle samsung hardware. Anyone any ideas? Or same thing happened? Cheers.
Here's my little story. I dropped my N5 and cracked the screen. It worked, but I wanted it to be pretty again. So I bought a screen/case and proceeded to do the swap. I watched several videos, read guides, etc and followed them step-by-step. After it was done, I was surprised how smoothly everything went. I then went to power it up and got nothing. I checked all the cable connections, reseated them, and still got nothing. I put everything back with the cracked screen. Still nothing. I check the cables carefully, there are no cracks or breaks in them. I left it on the charger all night and the next day, checking periodically, still nothing. I checked the battery connector with a multimeter, and it was getting a reading off it, so the thing must be receiving power, right? Anyway, I gave up for a few days, busy with the rest of life.
I came back to it one day, plugged it into the charger and this time I got the red blinking light. I searched around, and that seems to indicate the battery had lost it's charge completely. Again I charged it overnight, still nothing. I got adventurous and removed the battery and tried powering it with just the power cable plugged in. This time it displayed the charge full battery/lightning icon. Success! I hit power and it starts to boot, displays the Google logo, then shut down after maybe five seconds. So, it must be getting power through the system from the USB port. The mainboard/cpu/screen works, it's able to start booting. It even boots to the bootloader, keys work there.
Again I turned to the problem being the battery. I picked up another, thinking perhaps mine had gone bad somehow even though I never had a bit of trouble out of it (about 1.5 years old). I played with it some more, with either battery inside, it doesn't do anything. Without a battery, it starts to boot but gives up. Hoping I could get something from the bootloader, I plugged it into my PC, but the USB port doesn't seem to provide enough juice to get it back to the bootloader with no battery.
Finally, during one of my tests, I plugged in the battery while it had the charging cable in. Then it popped up the battery charging animation. Exciting! It must be successfully charging, now. Previously, it didn't display anything when I charged it for many hours. Now it's been charging about six hours. The battery animation still shows it filling from the bottom, usually it would blink the animation from like halfway to the top, right? I hold the power button, and the battery animation disappears and it goes dead yet again. I run the same tests, battery in, battery out and get the same results. It boots when there's no battery and the charging cable in, nothing when the battery is in with or without the charging cable.
So, here I am stuck again. Any other ideas? Thanks.
Hello! I have my OnePlus One running one of the latest CM nightly build (20150827), and a few days ago I realised that there was a problem when I charge my phone. It seems to work well (the led puts red, the battery circle icon starts spining) but it's not charging at all. In fact when I left it alone for some hours, it has less battery than when I plugged it.
Today I reached 0% and when I plugged it the battery circle shows the lightning but it blinks between all red and all grey very fast, like if a was pluggin and unplugging it very fast. After several minutes it doesn't overtake 0%. If I disconnect it, it powers off inmediatly.
While I was writing this it suddenly got to 30%
I have tried several sources (official charger, Xiaomi power bank) and different usb cables. I've also experienced this with other nightly from a month ago (I flashed the newer to see if that works to solve it) and the problem only shows sometimes. Thank you for reading!
Sounds like a faulty usb port on the phone to me. If you're able to charge it at all you should try flashing the stock images to go back to stock, but only do this if you're able to get it to charge above 30% because of the phone powers off during the process it could brick the device.
I was just wishing it not to be a hardware problem... But if stock CM doesn't work I guess I'm opening a ticket. Let's see what happens
Recently got a Pixel 2 and it sometimes has this problem:
* Battery icon indicates that it is charging, even when it is not plugged into anything.
* When it's doing this, if I plug it in, it will not charge (but still indicates that it is charging)
* If I notice this and restart the phone, it resumes working normally.
Anyone else experience this?
Any ideas on a fix?
My Pixel 2 will get stuck at 100% after being charged overnight, under the battery settings it states that the battery information is not available. So far a reboot will fix the problem, I haven't allowed the phone to stay in the 100% state for long without a reboot. Today I'm going to leave it at 100% to see if the phone corrects the issue eventually during the day...report pending.
same. i noticed it today for the first time today. plugged it in (not the charger that came with the phone, one used for my s7 with a usb-c cord) 20 minutes later noticed it hadn't charged any even though it said it was charging, and the level had actually went down. power cycled it, now it's charging again.
I just had that same problem on my pixel 2. A single reboot didn't help, but a second reboot fixed it. Weird....
Same issue. Plugged into car, says charging, levels dropping, even after reboot. Tried different cables and charger, no difference. Wife just walked in and said her Nexus 5 is doing the same thing! HEY GOOGLE, what did you send out to cause this?
This happened to me today too, right before I was going to update to 8.1. Phone said it was charging all day, even though it wasn't plugged in. A reboot didn't fix it. Then tried Turn Off, and it rebooted and now seems fine.
Having this right now. A few reboots and even shutting the phone down hasn't helped so far. Will run the phone empty to see what happens.

Happens occasionally to me as well. I often disconnect charger from the power rather than pull the charging cable out of the phone first. I wonder if the relatively slow fall in charging voltage when I remove power from the charger makes the problem more likely.
For those who have this problem:
Are you using original charger and cable?
Are you terminating charging by disconnecting power from the charger first, or pulling the cable out the phone whilst power is still on?
Is the phone screen on when you do it?
Anyway, I find a "hold the power key on the phone down for many seconds until it turns off" reboot fixes it until the next time...
1. I was actually using the portable charger that came with my 6P. The Pixel 2 isn't available in the Netherlands as it came with a UK plug.
2. Both methods had the same behaviour. Normally I pull the plug from the socket first before going unplugging it from the phone.
3. 20% of the time the screen is on and the phone unlocked. Most of the times it's just active display.
The phone eventually died despite being plugged in. I started charging again when I used one of the regular chargers (cord not separable). And not it works normally again with the portable charger.

Was this without rebooting the phone? I.e. you fixed the problem just by temporarily plugging in a 'regular' charger?
The phone was dead so I'd consider it a reboot. I left it on the charger to get a full battery again. The problem was gone as I did a check 45 Mon after plugging it in.
Hello,
I recently started having odd problems with my phone where it wouldn't charge without restarting it, would restart by itself and oddly indicate it was charging with no charger plugged in until restarted. I can't be certain but it may have started since the recent update (UK). Yesterday I woke up to find the phone was off, I put it on charge every night so this seemed odd. On turning it back on I found it hadn't charged at all from the 66% it was on the night before. During the course of the day it became apparent that despite the orange LED being on, it wasn't actually charging. Did a factory reset, no difference. Tried a variety of cables and chargers, no difference. I wondered if the USB port was a problem but ADB can see the phone just fine. At the time of writing it has been on charge for several hours, using the same cable and charger I have used every night for several months. The orange LED is blinking and that's it, the buttons do not vibrate. As soon as you remove the cable the LED turns off. It's now a rather shiny paper weight.
Does anybody have any idea what is going on or what else I could try? Otherwise I'll RMA it.
Thanks,
Mark
