Nextbit Robin won't turn off - Nextbit Robin

I got a Nextbit Robin recently and it always shows that it's charging no matter what, causing it to not turn off.
I've already tried to clean the flex cable, and I discovered that even if I didn't plug the USB C flex in, it's still keeps thinking it's charging, so it should be something on the board causing this.

This a hardware problem. I accidentally plug phone with cheap charger and then i got this same problem.
I replaced the power controller (PMI8994) and this issue has gone

Where do you get the parts? I am still looking for a battery to replace and can't find one.

[Q] Nexus Won't Charge - Already Replaced Flex

A few days the phone stopped being able to charge while on/off from both wall/USB. Suspected it was due to the flex. Ordered one off of Ebay and when it came it looked identical to the one in the phone. Phone is about 14 months old so no more warranty (got it at IO 2012)
I did the standard instructions of removing the 6 screws with the battery and SIM card. Prying off the back cover, removing the screw for the bottom module along with the ribbon.
Disconnect the antenna, screen ribbon cable and the ribbon cable to the flex from mainboard. Replaced the flex underneath the vibration module and closed it all back up making sure to connect the 2 ribbon cables, the antenna and the cable from the bottom module to the flex but it still won't charge.
I can get it to be recognized in computer as a MTP/PTP device but it still won't charge from computer or wall while on or off. Is there anything else I can do or is this gone forever. Tried a factory reset as well but still won't charge, it was originally just running stock 4.3. Thanks.
EDIT: Battery under Settings says charging at the bottom but not at the top...

Get yourself a wall charger and 2 batteries. Rotate them.
For files you can use bluetooth, NFC, drop box, drive, copy , flicker, box, etc...
Edit: never mind. It connects just doesn't charge.

Yea to clarify before I changed the flex, the phone couldnt connect be recognized by computer on USB. Now I have at least that but nothing else.
I have the same problem but my nexus is already in warranty, so I try to resolve this problem with samsung!
my problema is backwards
After replaced the USB flat i can charge the phone, but the computer not recognizing
I have the exact same problem. Replaced flex cable, still no charge. My pc recognized it with the old and new charge port as well. I had to re-activate my OG Droid until either the new HTC and G5 phones come out...sigh
long shot, but clean-up gold phone contact points for better conductivity?
Same Here
I think it happened after flashing 4.4.2 roms, i tried to flash different roms different cables, wall,pc,ps..nothing worked if it is on.When i turn off the gnex it is charging..Anyone?
I think i have solved mine
Well it was getting really weird like discharging while it is connected(turned off). So i thought it is not related to rom. So i wiped dalvik cache and now it looks ok
Any news on this topic? I've got the same problem, swapped the USB flex cable and it still isn't charging. I can connect via ADB though and in the battery details menu it says "charging" at the bottom, although it obviously isn't.

My note II does not charge. Replaced USB flex and nothing..

I tried with other chargers and nothing happens..
Can anyone help me to find the issue?

Probably not the fix you were looking for but certainly easier lol and less chance of causing more damage too

My friend I guess that the charging base (this module that takes the current to the battery to charge it)
is damaged, so you might need to change it.
Hello thanks for the replies.
But I need to fix the phone. I don't want an external charger.
I would like to know what is causing this issue.
Bought a flex charger in ebay.
But nothing, it does not work..
Maybe is a motherboard damage?
Thanks!

I am not talking about an external charger my friend,
Here is the thing, when you plug your charger to the phone, the port that you plug the wire in is
a part of a module connected to the battery, and that thing might be damaged.
My recomendation is to save yourself time and effort, and send it to a maintenance shop or store,
they will replace the base and probably won't cost you that much.

[Q] Eliminating the charged message

So... this old problem is back with a twist. Basically the thing beeps and wakes the screen up when it's done charging and keeps doing it on a timer or something.
I'd like to disable this but the solution that worked on ZVD (Xposed framework and G2 Xposed) doesn't work anymore.
Anyone have any ideas on how i'd disable this rather annoying behavior?
Mine used to do this all the time. As it turns out the charging cable had gone bad. I replaced it and it has never done it since. You may want to try a new cable.

Bother... The problem is that i'm not using a standard cable as I shoehorned one of those wireless conversion kit antennas in between the case and phone. I'll have to remove it and plug it in to see what happens. (still have the original charger and cable)
Whelp, thanks for the insight.

Yup... plugged it into the charger yesterday when I got home and it only binged at me once when it was done charging.
I'll have to do some testing and see what was causing the issue, the charging pad or the wireless charger. I'll have to try the other one I have.

Zenfone wont charge

yesterday i put my phone to charge while slepping and i had some technical problems with electricity in my home so the power kept coming and going so my charger got fried and my zenfone wont charge anymore with any adapter i tried using 4 others charge, tried connecting to pc, tried turning it on but still my zenfone wont turn on. when i press power button it makes 2 vibration it shows like its charging and the led than turns off. I know something in the phone got fried and i send it to service but they said they dont have parts, so im going to buy them online but i dont know what it got fried (usb port, battery or motherboard).
Sorry for my bad english and thnks in advance
Same here. I think i have the same, but my adapter haven't fried and is healthy 3 port wall charger. I have even changed the battery, cause of this problem. Asus shop send me a new one because of this, free of charge!
But even then it doesn't work. There are moments when i can turn it on and charge, but its random. I thought it was Android related, but haven't found out anything..
I can turn and charge it sometimes, don't know yet when..
But the Battery release i think helps (Unplugging Battery connector from battery, no need to take it out).
Have tried many of tips, guides, nothing.. Nothing helps..
I'm starting to think that mobo has been damaged somehow.
I got it one time to charge fully, don't understand how. Once i plugged in and saw that it charged at last, i didn't turn it on and left it there till full. Once charged it, kind of charged when i plugged in (at about 60% battery), and in Ampere there was normal Current (about 1000mA), but it didn't really charge, just drained..
Please guys, would appreciate this!
And a lot of people in youtube too. There has been no answer for this problem.
I'm assuming your already tried with different cables? If you are lucky and just the micro USB port section got fried, a replacement costs 5 bucks on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Charging-Po...169886?hash=item1a030a819e:g:aowAAOSwDNdVqKyi
When something in my ZF2 fried all of the USB data functionality was gone, but it would still charge at slow rate. I RMA'd it and after ~2 months they sent me a new phone; did not mention what exactly was wrong with the old one.
Then a while later I dropped it on the floor while it was charging - it landed straight on the micro USB cable side and the impact dislodged the USB port ripping some of the lanes off the PCB so I could not solder it back, and of course then it would not charge at all. I bought one of those charging dock replacements I mentioned and with that replaced it started working again.
It might be a damage data flex cable. That data cable with simcad slots and micro sd need to be replaced to be able to charges again and working fast charging.
my zenfone phone is not charging what do i do

ANOTHER RMA for USB????

For the last week device has wonky charging. Wouldn't even notice stock c to c cable plugged in. Would charge with a to c after reboot. Fast charge ok on c to c car charger. Then not, or only after reboot.
Google is sending a new charger, but that's not the problem. ( Just opened the last one the sent me before previous device started smoking). Finally got home after 2 weeks (hurricane). Tried several chargers/cables. Plug in a reboot
Will talk to PC for file transfer and such.
No alarm this morning. Was on charger when I went to bed. Guess it shut down by itself at 100%.
Had that quick bug a few weeks ago...noticed battery saver turned on by itself.
Any chance any if this is software with latest updates? Thinking this is my 3 rd device now with USB port issues.
Ohh...just checked. Headphone adapter not recognized.....AGAIN.
Google is good about replacing, but can't the fix that port?
Worst part....finally got my $50 Whitestone done installed. So now I have to order another replacement kit for the replacement Pixel 2 XL.
Clean the connector. That is often all it is.
Give it a small spray of electrical cleaner...
I had the same problem. They installed a new motherboard in the device and gave it back to me.
Thanks for input.
Gave it a few shots of deoxit contact cleaner and some light cleansing with small toothpick.
Seemed to work for a little bit. Then random reboots while plugging in various chargers and cables. One option even caused it to boot when plugged in.
Headphone adapter only worked 1 out of 50; tties.
Did you recently upgrade to Pie?
I had this exact problem as well.
It started when I upgraded (stock).
Spoke with Google rep and they know about the issue.
Downgraded and the issue persists.
Seems like the software update is breaking internal hardware?
Had to RMA mine.
Possible bad cable or non USB PD compliant powered source or cable fried something in the charge circuit? Maybe invest in a USB-C power meter.
Just finishing up setup on replacement device before RMA of defective device. But.....
Factory reset, and it works fine!!!!!
Normally they make you do that before sending a replacement. But in my case phone wouldn't even charge with phone off. How can any kind of software be a culprit if the is isn't even loaded????
I just got my replacement. I had usb hardware failure. Tried three cords and two computers and would only charge. Replacement fixed it
