Hello, i have recently purchased this phone.
Korean version, and it appears to be refurbished, but at the price i bought it, no complaints.
However I have a few questions:
* Fast charging.
I tested everything with AccuBattery application.
First, i tried to connect it to my existing charger (18w and custom cable). The current was 0.
"Weird" i said to myself, so i tried using the provided cable (still with my 18w charger), and the current jumped to 1500mah/h.
Then i tired to to use the provided charger (some weird Samsung charger with 15w), still 1500mah
Finally i tried using my 65W charger, and the current skyrocketed to 2400mah/h and then dropped back to 1500 a few seconds later. (even 800 if I use the cable that supports that current, because the stock one will melt itself a few minutes later I'm afraid)
What is happening?
* Gestures
Stock android gestures are utter **** (especially come back the the most recent app), so i have installed infinte gesture wich mimics miui gestures, but is there a way to hide navbar?
Thanks in advance

I think nobody asked this question before since I didn't find it even loking in Google
Since I got mi Desire I realised that not every charger works for it, I have an USB charger that went with a bluetooth dongle I bought (with same specs) but seems to be a lie because the battery keeps draining when plugged in, but that's not the problem I actually have.
My original HTC charger broke after three weeks of normal use , since there are no HTC stores in my country I went to an Apple store and bought and Iphone charger wich has the same specs as the broken stock one (Output 5V 1A). The problem is that sometimes when I plug the phone (usualy I charge my phone overnight), the screen becomes buggy, sometimes not responsive and sometimes over responsive (eg. if I click on an icon to move it into the home screen, it responds as if I clicked that icon several times very quickly). At first I thougt it was a ROM issue, but at this moment I already tried LeeDroid, OpenDesire and now I'm on teppic74's rooted Froyo and had similar issues in everyone of them. It's not really a mind breaker since I am ussually sleeping while charging, but I wonder if I'm not killing the battery or causing any kind of damage to the phone.
Can anybody give me a hand on this?
Thanks
Why not just order a charger online?
I don't know if it hurts the phone or the battery.
But if my screen went super-laggy and over-responsive by charging it..
I'd throw the charger out.
Already ordered, but I was wondering if someone happened to know a technical reason for this to happen, the phone doesn't overheat and the charging process works as a charm, the only issue is the screen wich sometimes behaves perfectly normal
Guess I will give the charger to any iphone owner when I get the original one (I have to buy in the UK store.. totally overseas)
My phone does the same thing if I use a PS3 charger (Just the usb to wall socket part). When I was in a phone shop, I noticed their Desire HD that was on display did the same thing. From what I can gather, it doesn't do any damage and happens with a lot of aftermarket chargers. Don't take my word for that though, hope I shed some light
Hello
Have same problem with my recently buyed HTC Desire while charging with non-original charger (from Nokia).
First time I'm worried about phone, but after reading charger's characteristics I found some difference in power.
So I think while phone charging it's receives less power than needed for normal work.
I have a TWN H815, and often have problems with the phone not charging. This usually happens in the car, where the phone discharges more quickly than the (2A) charger can supply current when I'm using Google Maps, so it ends up steadily (and quickly) losing power over the course of a journey. I've tried two different batteries, and a number of different "quick charge" 2A chargers (Aukey, TomTom, etc), but none can stop the phone from discharging during the journey.
I also sometimes have problems when it's left overnight on my bedside charger - if it has less than 15% charge when I put it on charge it will typically only be at 50% by 9am the following morning.
From reading threads elsewhere I'm guessing that my problem is heat-related - i.e. the hotter the phone gets the slower it charges. My question is: does Marshmallow fix any of these charging issues? I'm currently running Lollipop (rooted), and have not upgraded to Marshmallow because it's not possible to root the TWN model on Marshmallow, but if the battery charging issues are resolved then I might need to reconsider.

Are u using stock cable n charger ?
I never had any issues on my Taiwan H815 using LP rooted or even in MM ....has ur phone recently been repaired by LG?? after fixing the bootloop issue that is..does this happen recently or from the start when u bought the phone ....
It's the same with any charger, including the stock charger. The phone has never been repaired by LG (and I've never had the bootloop issue). I think this is a recent development - I don't remember having the problem last year

Try downgrading to LP or upgrading to MM ...if it still persists then its a hardware issue
I'm currently running LP and have been avoiding upgrading to MM because there's no root for MM on TWN models. I need root to enable more apps for the multi-window facility, which I use all the time in the car (e.g. running Maps and Beyondpod in dual windows).
I see what you mean though - i.e. an upgrade to MM could tell me whether it's a hardware or O/S issue
MM on G4 has never had any charging issues, nor did the last versions of LP - the most common reasons I find for people having charging battery/charging issues that cause rapid battery drain are rogue bad apps (like Facebook & Facebook messenger) and also bad replacement batteries and chargers and cables that are Chinese counterfeits - you must order your replacement battery from LG once the original gets old, otherwise you are likely buying a fake battery. Same with cables and charger, must be genuine LG ordered from their online store.
Both of my batteries are pukka LG batteries - the original one supplied with the phone, and the official LG charging kit bought from Amazon. I also have neither FB nor FB messenger installed.
I suppose a factory reset would tell me whether it's down to rogue apps, but that would be a royal pain in the neck.
Hi there,
I have received this Galaxy Tab 3 (SM-T311) and it does not turn on nor charge.
I have tried the various suggested button presses, I have tried unplugging the battery for a while. Now I am leaving it to charge but this was already tested by the previous owner with no success.
I would like to find out if charger circuit, battery or motherboard need replacement.
I have tested with a multimeter that battery leads show 3.7V - with charger plugged or not. With battery removed the leads show a value of 0.4V.
Can somebody help to figure out whether it is a battery problem, a charger circuit problem or a motherboard problem? I think it might be one of the first two since battery charge should not be so low.
Thanks
By the way, I have already been through this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2VJ_VRIRSI
Which comes from this blog post: http://www.bigpicturebigsound.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-3-Won-t-Charge-or-Turn-On---How-to-Fix.shtml
I am not using the original charger and cable but a 2A one, sorry but I do not believe that the original USB cable and PSU would be any different it's like with HDMI, it's a standard. The only thing that could change is the power intensity which is 2A as per original.

Sorry I can't help, except to say it sounds just like my problem. I'd been using mine mainly as a clock/alarm clock using a great alarm app. The battery was good enough to last about 15 or more hours with a clock display on, but then I left for a 2 week vacation, and decided to turn the tablet off rather than leave it on a charger. Came back and it was dead.
I also did all sorts of button presses, used various chargers and cables (I have the original charger, which works for other devices, but didn't help). I disconnected the battery for several hours. Tried charging off a computer USB-2 port. etc, etc. Still, "It's dead, Jim".
I suspect it's the battery, which is pretty old now, and has been left on the charger a lot lately, though not 24 hours a day. Lithium batteries don't like to go totally dead, but I guess that's what happened. If the tablet were still useful to me, I'd try a cheap one from Amazon, not really expecting it to last a long time, but useful to see if it works without losing too much.
I've seen one repair tech who fixed a similar problem by disconnecting the battery and connecting it to a power supply briefly to give the battery enough of a charge to get the phone to start charging it normally. Obviously, this is something that mere mortals would not be able to do.
Hi all,
last year i bought this phone and i'm enjoying it quite a lot. It works perfectly find in every respect including charging it with the original charger.
But as you know, there are a lot of devices that needs charging around the house (i bet you all agree) and so i went out and bought this 2-1 quick charger (2 type-A connections and providing 14.5W of juice). When i connect the phone to this charger, the charging screen comes up for a few seconds, then the regular screen shows (and also shows no charging), then the charging screen comes back, etc, etc. It keeps doing like that for a while until it eventually goes to sleep, not charging at all.
Charging other devices works perfectly fine with this particular charger, but for some reason the note 11 will not play nicely with it. Is there something particular i can try or is the charger simply not compatible?
sounds like it's not compatible, and not recognising it as a fast charger.
also could you do me a favour please. under settings in display settings, does the redmi note 11 pro have an option for anti-flicker setting?
I'm looking for a phone that does

Sorry for the late reply.
yeah, you are most probably right. I did return the charger and used the original one and haven't had an issue since. I did notice that the original supposedly is outputting a much higher wattage than the 3rd party did.
Under the display settings i only see:
color scheme (light/dark mode) + submenus related to this
brighness level
reading mode
color scheme
refresh rate (60 - 120hz)
font, text size and vr.
Thats basically it.
Hi everyone!
I'm investigating charging issue with A70 Europe version.
Bought used one with stock ROM, then unlocked and installed crDroid based on android 10.
Additional modules: Magisk, EdXposed, FakeGapps, MicroG
Apparently after ~1-2 years it started charging really slowly.
(Used orignal adapter and cable) So I thought it was broken and changed it.
It didn't help
I recently moved to LineageOS 20 straight from crDroid.
Issue persisted and I was annoyed with it so much that I checked charging parameters with Wattz app from f-droid.
With different cables and adapters I'm able to achieve Max 0.4 A with 2A charger.
Where in most cases it is 0.1A with 1.5A charger
I got it to the cell phone repair where I said I suspect that it may be the port as it stopped transferring any data.
They fixed port but charging issue persisted.
In that moment I decided to try fix it myself.
I opened the phone and changed battery as it was also discharging fast.
It didn't help.
I started reading some similar threads here.
So what is left:
- change the tape that connects main board with port (it is said to be a common issue on samsung device)
- reflash stock rom and see what happens there.
what do you think?
do you need any pictures of the phone or other details?
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE:
Device is A705FN
Did both.
Changed ribbon cable that connects main board with port and flashed stock ROM based on android 11.
Disabled adaptive charging in settings.
But it didn't help.
This could mean that it is some other hardware issue but I'm run out of ideas...
Other observation:
Measuring Watts:
(Stock charger) When I power on the phone, drain is ~10W till it enters offline charging mode or system is on, then it stays exactly 0.5W ! I'm not sure if it is charging. When system is powered it says no.
To compare with my msm8998 based Sony Xperia ~10W till it enters offline charging mode, then it stays at something like 4.6W with 1.5A charger.
Both tested while charging above 90%
I'm totally pissed of. I put money to repair it but nothing seems to work.
I'm sure about one thing - I'll never ever buy any other samsung smartphone.
This sounds like a charging board issue from the very beginning. Charging problems do happen on this phone sometimes but usually just reseating the ribbon cable is enough to make it work again. Perhaps some chip has failed, though this happens much more rarely.
