I have a second hand ONEPLUS 3 that has water damage. It works completely except it won't charge. To charge the battery, I have to remove it and charge it in another ONEPLUS 3. I have replaced the battery and have tried another charging port and daughter board.
When switched on, the phone shows 50% battery regardless of how much charge it has.
I have tried various roms, and it has the latest stock Oreo update atm.
I want to know is there any mod to disable this warning that would allow me to charge it? I understand the risks, but would like to try. I saw a fix for a Samsung S3 by disabling a system app, but do not see the equivalent here. Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks

Well, you said it was water damage. Then I replied that you got your answer. Battery Temp to low is there for a reason you can't and shouldn't remove it. See if you can open up the phone perhaps there is some corrosion... Nothing else you can do.

Don't know if you actually read the post properly, but I listed the things I tried and parts I had replaced. I'm looking for a work around to be able to charge it. I wrote that I understand the risks to disable this warning.
I had soaked the board in isopropyl alcohol and scrubbed it a bit. No corrosion.
It sounds like you can't help, but thanks for your input.

If the temp sensor in either the battery or BMS is broken, then you should NOT charge it at all. There's severe risks charging a battery that does not know it's temperature.
Go buy a replacement. Anyone that helps you with this is retarded, as helping you 'fix' something that is broken and can potentially cause damage/explode while charging is dumb.

Good to know thanks. I won't do that to your house either :angel:
Hey, did you find a solution? I have got the same problem and could only think of the lower logic board to be damaged. I think that is what you refer to as daughter board. Would be very nice if there is a solution to that problem, even if i have to replace several things. Does anybody know for sure where the battery temperature sensor is in a OP3?
Because on my research I have found that the sensor is in the battery itself in some phones. That would make sense but if you say the battery is charging in another phone that is weird....
Had similar problem a few months ago.
The only thing that appeared on the screen when i turned it on was a warning saying "Device Temperature is too low".
Send it to Oneplus an received it working but on the rma service note they said there was nothing wrong with it.
Funny thing is that it came with OOS 3.2.1 when on that time the last version was Nougat 4.x.x.
Try to flash one of the first versions of OOS and see if it works.
Mine Oneplus 3T won't charge as well, "Device Temperature Is Too Low, Cannot Charge" and battery level is always 50%.
The problem is in malfunctioning on-battery temperature sensor, which doesn't report the data and OS handles that as the minimum possible temperature -40°C. OS won't allow charging if the temperature is less than -3°C, so it won't work.
If you use LineageOS and urgently need to use the phone, you can flash patched kernel with temperature protection disabled and charge it.
WARNING: This kernel is not suitable for every day use, you still should fix malfunctioning hardware. Do not leave unattended device on charger, always control it.
Unpack the image and flash it via recovery in image flash mode.
Hi ValdikSS,
Is there a patch like this for the One Plus 6 as well ?
I've been stuck with this issue for a week now and i replaced the battery tried different chargers and leaving it off for days an try again but nothing worked
Thanks,
Same problem in OnePlus 3t I flashed lot of custom os like pie ROM successfully used perfect ,last time havoc os 2.0 official ROM I flashed, one mistake I do,
I didn't see the battery level that time 13% I flashed ROM so battery sensor shows temperature is too low then I charged then I flashed same ROM is done, but another ROM I again flash, that shows battery 50% stuck an I encrypted again OnePlus 3t oxygen os I flashed same problem, finally I used nitrogen an havoc only charge100% but no longer time battery stand quickly battery used without any useage ,so battery sensor where we find only solve this problem
It would indeed be a lot risky to charge a battery which has a damaged temperature check mechanism. It does not warrant trying unstable kernels and allowing batteries to be charged without temperature checks. It is risky enough to burn a house down and it is advisable to just buy a new battery if the phone seems to have a decent life left in it.
Possible Solutions
There are 3 possible solutions for this issue.
1: replace battery.
2: change the ROM for one that changes the Kernel for a version without this temperature protection.
3: fix or replace the main board.
To fix the main board you need to check 2 things on it.
On the left side of the battery conector (under a double sided glue tape foam), there are some SMD.
The lowest two are related with this problem.
I fix my board resoldering the one on the right (nearest to the conector).
Be aware that the SMD is small and when are desoldered, it gets sticked on the double sided glue tape foam.
I don't know how to insert a image, Sorry.

Hi XDA,
Recently my phone has come up with a problem with the USB charging port where it thinks it is charging when it is not plugged in every few seconds. This causes the screen to wake every few seconds and then turn off to sleep, then re-awake again repetitively, draining the battery very quickly.
I'm not sure of any way to fix this problem except maybe send it back to the manufacturer for warranty and repair (which is difficult for me to do as I have already voided the warranty through rooting), or maybe buy a replacement USB port and try fix it myself. Does anyone know of any other simple and effective ways for me to fix this?
Aside from this, in the meantime I would like to know if there is any way I can prevent the screen from waking up when the phone thinks it is being charged, thus when the phone does its charging/not charging cycle, it doesn't wake up the screen every 15-20 seconds and so won't lead my battery to drain from this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hey, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I am a bit of a noob at this and am unsure where I should go/what I should do to unroot, flash stock and lock bootloader. I think that would have to be a last resort though, is there not some way I could fix it myself? Is it purely a hardware issue? Also, in the meantime is there a way to prevent the screen wake issue?
Thanks

Can you be a little more descriptive here, or post a pic of this? I'm having the exact same issue but don't want to mess up my phone any more than it is.
On a side note, I called Samsung this afternoon to inquire about getting the phone serviced and after he told me that unlocked phones don't come with a warranty (I bought mine that way), he actually said that they couldn't repair it anyway because unlocked phones are actually built differently and use different parts. To which I laughed. But anyway, I now need to find a way to fix this problem.
Thanks.

I actually did this with the edge of a cardboard card, ever so slightly but so far the problem seems to have gone away. Not promising anything though, and is probably only a temporary solution. I think what happens is the contacts between the connector in the middle of the port comes slightly into contact with the bottom through wear and tear over time and they short each other out, so by pressing it up a bit you prevent that from happening.
If you know how to decompile/recompile apk's...
/system/framework/framework-res.apk can be decompiled...
Then under /res/values/bools.xml/ you can edit the line "unplugTurnsOnScreen" to false.
I don't see a "plug in" version...but maybe this does both?
Either way...it cuts the amount of screen wakes in half.
I wouldn't recommend doing this, however...I'd get it returned.
Your problem might only get worse.
Same problem here, did you find a solution for that?

Knowing that this is my last resort and with all the wonderful knowledge here on the forums, I'm hoping I might get some creative ideas.
I recently bought a Tab S 8.4, rooted it about 2 weeks after I got it. No problems, everything is working great. Last week, the screen starts to flicker and the tablet reboots randomly. When it does this, the battery goes from 100% down to 12%. Eventually this happens enough where the tablet won't stay on for longer than a minute. Read around the forums and find others mention the exact same issue. Potentially a battery pull/re-plug may alleviate. Tried that to no avail.
I have found that if I hold the battery plug in place *real* tight, by pushing down with my finger, the tablet operates somewhat normally. Could be a motherboard issue.
Anyone run into this at all? Thoughts? Ideas? Replacement parts? I've got a $500 brick on my hands now with no warranty to boot. :crying:
Thanks in advance!
I soldered my battery straight to the board. But before doing that, try spraying some contact cleaner (found in hardware stores) and see if it Will work

I found a local electronic repair shop that said they could re-solder it for me relatively easily. Brought it in and he said it did look like the terminals on the battery plug had been pulled back a little bit and weren't soldered on there very good (good to hear some type of confirmation on that and he let me view it through a microscope as well). Twenty minutes and twenty dollars later, my tablet is working as it did previously. I've used it sparingly over the last 2 hours, so nothing definitive yet, but the fact that it doesn't restart right away makes me think the issue is resolved.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions!!

Battery Results
Just wanted to follow up with everyone that might be experiencing similar issues. After fixing the issue, and de-bloating a bit, my battery life is phenomenal. Much better than when I first got it. I suspect the battery issue was causing some drain as well, even when it wasn't restarting. The attached screen is still with 35% battery left.
Thanks to all those who contributed to this thread. I too was having battery issues. I'd get random restarts, disconnects from the cellular network, forgetting wifi passwords, battery that would go from 50% to dead in three seconds., display glitches etc. I finally opened up my tab which I thought was going to be a pain but was actually pretty easy. By naked eye the solder joints looked fine but under a microscope I could see that all six solder joints on the battery connector were cracked and by pressing on the connector could see the connector move independently from the PCB. Resoldered the joints and everything is good now.
Well my problem is that the battery isn't charging, I get a battery with a red "X" mark when the screen is on but when it is turned off, its charging well but very slow and when it reaches 99% it never goes to 100%. Could it be possible I have the same problem as you guys? no random restarts for me just the issue of sucky battery life (3 hours on wifi) and not charging

Are you using the stock Samsung charger? Just plug it into the wall and it should be fine. Don't charge from the computer or use a different charger
Got that same problem. My tab will only charge up to 60% under 6 hours. Batterystatus app shows that my 2amp wall charger is just charging at 300mah +/- . Tried my power bank, same issue. Changed the cable and the reading from the wall charger is 1800mAh , could top up the battery in 2hrs

Any Ideas?
I have experienced this. Flickering of the screen which eventually leads to reboots. Got it fixed at a samsung service center. You rooted it but you're on stock ROM right? I think there's a problem when we root it and stick with the stock ROM. When I rooted my tab again, certain apps started FCing which lead to lags. So I'm gonna wipe this and start from scratch.
Hi
I have a problem with my G3. When i start it, it shows lg logo then few it reboots again without getting anywhere. But if i put the charger it does work flawlessly. If i take off the charger, few seconds and it reboots. Is it a battery issue? Software or hardware?
Thanks
Yes, its battery problem. I think its time for you to change the battery.

Yes, it is a battery a problem, so i bought a 2nd and a 3rd but the same problem happened with the 2nd in less than a month, the 3rd in 2 weeks.
I wasn't ready to buy a 4th one so i looked around and i found a solution and it's working for me so far without a problem.
the solution isn't mine so all credits goes to Marko Peltonen in Android Central forums.
He explained the problem here
And the solution with pictures here
Some remarks to take in consideration:
the wire should be thin (from a strand);
when you're manipulating the wire be careful not to let it touch the body of the battery (if you peeled the plastic off the battery) when it's connected to the + connector.
the soldering point on top of the control board should be as thin as possible so you can put back the plastic cover
hope you can solve this frustrating problem

Everything stock. Flashed MM stock firmware a few days ago.
While it was flashing the lg flash tool crashed on my pc at %70 or so. Phone did a reboot automatically and booted up.
Then the phone started to shut down and restart automatically while it was in sleep mode.
Then i flashed stock mm again. This time it worked. But the phone keeps restarting. It does only restart while the screen is locked. If i double tap or use the power button to unlock the phone nothing happens and the screen keeps black and then the LG logo appears and phone boots up.
Tried different custom kernels, recoverys and rom. Issue is still there. Thats why im thinking its and hardware issue and battery is faulty.
Sorry for bad english
@sakarya making this step properly won't harm you G3 in any way, it'll enhance the power connection because the connection is made by glue and with high temperature it becomes faulty, so yes you can give it a try but before going that far if your not familiar with soldering i recommend you to download and flash a stock firmware from here then go to this page and download the proper firmware you need. since you have this problem when the screen is off, in my case it was random.
You'll find here a guide on how to flash a KBZ properly.
Good luck

Thank you. I will try this.. Bought yesterday a new battery, problem does still exist. Must be a software issue.
Paper trick wont work for everyone. Solder or use a bit of foil and paper for pressure.. I prefer to use a bit of tape as it is a cleaner solution. Batter life seems to fall a bit, just a tad after this mod tho but no reboots fixed 3 out of 3 batteries like this.
The chinese batteries run down quicky.
The anker batteries that also have the reboot issue can be fixed by using the board from the chinese on it fix 1 out of 1 anker this way
Hi,
First of all thanks to everyone. I hope it is not a repeat query. I have searched quite a bit here and of course with my friend Google but not coming up with much. Here is my issue:
My wife's Nexus 5x is about 1 year old or so. Stock, not rooted just plain old. About a week ago, she stated that phone is heating up (not warming) when plugged in to charge. I plugged that to a another charger of Nexus 5x (I have 3 of these phones in my house hold). Same effect - it is really heating up in the back near the finger print sensor. Red charging light keeps flashing but nothing more. I even could not turn it on. I tried to boot into safe mode to no avail - can not. I opened up the whole thing to see any internal damage or may be moisture or shock - but no evidence of that either. - reseated all cables - pack it back. Still when I plugin, I do see the red flashing light and in about 2 minutes or so I can feel that it is heating up in the back and if I leave it on charger long enough (5 minutes or so) heat can be felt on the screen. In any case, I am out of warranty - LG had replaced it for boot loop issue about a year ago. :crying:
So that is my sob story. In my little opinion, this may be a hardware issue and also, this may not be a boot loop issue. I am thinking to buy a used one and replace the mobo - may be?
Any hope for this puppy? Your time, advice, kind words, directions, guidance all are very appreciated.
Regards...

Thanks for the response. No, I didn't give much thought about the short-circuit in the battery itself because when I had back cover out and plugged in, battery was not heating up - it was mostly around the finger print scanner. but now, when you mention it, I should have. Let me think about swapping the battery from mine and see ...
Thanks for the tip. I will try not to do cooking-experiment any more... . That was cool.

Hey all, I have had my Galaxy Note 10 for almost a year, and the other day I accidentally dropped it and ever since then I have been getting the message that my phone temperature is too low and that charging would resume when my phone returned to a normal temperature.
So I did some research and found that my phone's temperature sensor is broken and that I would need to get the wireless charging coil replaced as that is where the sensor is located. I also saw that it was a cheap repair and would be covered by warranty. Unfortunately because of the root it would not be covered by warranty and was actually very expensive as the part needed to be imported.
I ran a few tests and apparently my phone is at minus 30 degrees Celsius. When I got a report sensor, it says that it isn't even there. Clearly the sensor is broken. (Look at attached URLs for screenshots)
The strange thing is though, that I can still use my phone whilst it is plugged in. So obviously it can still use power, but not store it in the battery. Because it can still use power and since it is rooted, surely there is a way that I can change the minimum temperature at which the phone can charge? Or delete the piece of software/file that gives jt any limit at all?So I wanted to ask, since my phone is rooted, surely there must be a way I can "override" the error and charge my phone regardless.
So I looked for ways to charge my phone regardless and came across thermal throttling, which I know is dangerous, but surely because my phone isn't actually "low temperature" if it was well managed, it wouldn't be too unsafe? And would thermal throttling even work as I know that it helps to run your phone at HIGH temperatures, but what about low ones?
So the last thing I wanted to say was that with the phone being rooted, is there some app that can allow me to ignore this warning (override it) as there is obviously a file that prevents charging when the temperature is low. Could this file be altered/deleted, or could the while thing just be ignored. Or would thermal throttling work?
Please leave some feedback, anything is appreciated.
Also please link at the attached URLs for screenshots.

If that's the only temp sensor for charging you should have it as it won't shut it down if it gets too hot.
A Li meltdown isn't pretty.
Is the bad sensor in the battery???
If so simply replacing the battery might fix the issue
What is the problem?

The repair centre that I took this phone to said that the MOTHERBOARD was broken. I think they were mistaken as this is not a problem caused by broken motherboard. Research says the sensor is in the Wireless Charging Coil so I might try fix this. but then what is it about the battery? Which part is broken?
And in the meantime is their any way to override this message with a rooted phone (my original question)
It a thermistor on the wireless charging module or a bad connection going to it. A broken multilayered mobo solder trace can be repaired if it's just one trace and it's beginning/end point isn't under a flat pack.

So are you saying that either the connection (on the wireless charging COIL) from the coil to the battery is broken, or the connection port on the battery might be broken? Is it definitely NOT a motherboard issue?
If so does the wireless charging coil/entire phone battery need replacing?

I don't see a listing under sensors for a internal batter sensor... it appears to be external.
I didn't tear it down.
The sensor or connector issue is more likely but not guaranteed.
You could take an ohmmeter to the sensor to check if it's the culprit. It appears to be on the charging coil assembly, right?
If so a cheap fix.

There is only one sensor and its attached to the wireless charging coil, that was the case with the s7 edge back in the day. I see no reason why that would be different now. Its purpose is to monitor the battery and coil temps.
Replacing the wireless charging coil should fix it. You should be able to order one for pretty cheap. its could also just be a loose connection. If your warrenty is void then you might as well open it up (if you have the tools and skill) to confirm the wireless charging connector is seated properly into the motherboard. (since you dropped it, its likely its just come loose)

This could be true if the service tech was mistaken. All the OP knows for sure is the chipset isn't getting the temp data.
A good repair center -maybe- could do mobo level repairs. Sammy certainly could.
Remember no repairman likes an open box special.
The OP can try replacing the coil but maybe no better off if it needs a mobo. In the back of my mind I still wonder if the battery pack has a temp sensor the phone is using as well. I see no indication of that but it seems like a logical place for it especially given Samsung's history of exploding batteries.
If the OP goes for a battery replacement there's much more risk of damage involved.
Tough call.
Note: A high G impact can even break internal IC connections. A 3 foot drop onto concrete can generate sufficient G loading to do this. So there's that...
A good case spreads the G force loading over a greater timeframe and lessens it by absorbing some of the energy as well transforming it to heat.
These are heavy, expensive phones with very little impact protection. Get a good case like the Bolt.

If that's the only temp sensor for charging you should have it as it won't shut it down if it gets too hot.
A Li meltdown isn't pretty.
Is the bad sensor in the battery???
If so simply replacing the battery might fix the issue

I believe the sensor is on the wireless charging coil
Guys had the issue back on the s8 too

It be a happy ending if so...
and not the first time a repair tech was wrong.
Maybe the OP could try a better repair shop if they don't feel up to using a heat gun and popping off the back panel. This is one of the easiest repairs for these phones but still requires considerable care to do. Depends on the OP's skill level and having the minimum tools required.

Don't know if this will help but I have the same problem with my Note 10+. Mine has a cracked back cover and the faulty temp sensor issue seems to emanate from this because as soon as I slapped on a back cover, the issue resolved itself. I'll replace the back cover eventually but it seems the loose panel might be the issue.
Good luck.

Welcome to XDA
There's a temp sensor on the wireless charging coil assembly I believe. There are a bunch of ribbon cables as well, one could be loose or damaged.
Rear covers are cheap, replace it before the phone gets severely damaged. Get a rear cover seal too. Water kills phones.
Always keep the N10+ cased or it will get damaged. The Zizo Bolt is cheap, provides excellent drop protection and makes the N10+ easier to use.
