Hi all,
I recently observed some stranged behavior on my Xiaomi 11T. The device stops charging in the middle of a charging session and then starts again after a short while. This happened with different cables and chargers. I only recognized this because of the sound thats played when you plug in. It does not happen at a certain percentage value. Not shure what is going on. Any ideas?
Hi, there is maybe dust in your USB port. try cleaning by blowing air in it.

I just used the usb adapter for the first time today and when I plug the usb cable into the phone the adapter makes this high-pitch frequency sound. It's similar to the mosquito ringtone that teens love so much. It stops when the phone is done charging. Does anybody else have this problem?
I noticed this yesterday, but it was only when the Incredible was fully charged.
I'm cycling the battery right now, so when I plug it in again...I'll get back to this thread.
Hi guys, I have a Tilt2 with the EnergyROM...
My phone recently started acting up, and wont charge the battery when plugged in (oem HTC charger)
The orange light turns on, and phone says charging but battery level doesnt change, in fact it drains as usual. Yet sometimes if I leave the phone plugged in it will start charging?
I also get the current charge isnt enough switch to AC charger or close applications error sometimes when plugged with the AC charger...
I'm leaning towards a bad battery but wanted to see if anyone had this problem before?
Thanks in advance!
That sounds like a charger problem. try a different one.
thanks for the response...i tried a charger that had the usb plug to it, i tried a charger with a usb end on it, and two car chargers and i get the same effect...i did hard resets and even installed a new ROM to see if it would help. but no luck

It's the the charging points , look at the middle bar is it staight across try bending it just a little , a smidge left or right , I had this issue before and also on my original tilt and it fixed it.
I've had my G3 for approximately 8 months, and I've been using it normally, wihout any kind of abuse, and using the cord that came with it to charge the battery. Yet, a very annoying problem has surfaced : the plug releases itself very easily as of late. Just slightly moving the phone when charging disconnects the plug. I checked the connectors on the phone and on the cable, and I could not find any kind of debris that would prevent a good connection. Has anybody else had this very annoying problem ?
i have a similar problem, not the cable unplug itself but the cable sometimes have to be on diferent position to plug suceful in the phone!
one thing you can do without have trouble is to buy a wireless charger (if your phone supports it in NFC antenna) and charge the phone with that! OR if you are in guarantee time you can send it to there and see what the technians says to you.
Hi everyone,
A few days ago, this problem started to show on my device.
When I'm charging it, it says "charging", but even the slightest movement can stop the phone from charging.
Sometimes it even toggles *charging*/*not charging* without me moving it at all.
For example, if the battery is on <15%, the phone will vibrate - so when I charge it when it's below 15%, if I touch it, it vibrates every 5 seconds or so.
It's really terrible... I once left the phone to charge for a few hours just to come back and find out it wasn't charging.
I've tried different USB cables, power sockets, chargers, so I guess it has to be a problem with my device.
I'm pretty confident it's a hardware issue, and I bought it around 10 month ago, so warranty should still be up. However, I don't remember anything particular that could damage the charging port, and this started all of a sudden (a day earlier it was charging perfectly).
I'd like to hear some opinions, solutions, and if any of you have had this before.
Thanks,
Barak
It's definitely the charging port, maybe it was faulty from factory, send it in warranty
Get a dress making pin or something tough and really pointy and carefully scratch inside the port. Be careful of the plastic inside. Do not bend it or snap it off. Do not scratch or pick at the pins on the top of the plastic. Only scratch around the plastic.
Shine a torch in and see if you can find any loose debris that you may have dislodged. Keep doing it until you can't get no more fluff etc out of it and try plugging the charger in again.
It should have a nice solid clunk as the plug goes in and seats properly now.
Hey, thanks alot for your replies. @shivadow I've tried cleaning the port like you said , this maybe helped a little but the problem is not solved.
P.S : I noticed that there is a position which is problematic.
When the phone is connected to the charger, if I hold the cable with my hand, and push it upwards (I exert force on the cable in a direction vertical to the screen). This is when it stops charging. Just stating this if it might help you diagnosing something specific.
Anyway I think I'll be sending it back to the lab this week or next week, thanks a lot for your help!
Either a faulty cable, plug or socket. If it happens with other cables it'll be the socket. If you know for a fact that the plug is seating correctly but you still have the problem then either worn pins or worn socket.
So it turns out that when I tried to check whether the charger, or the USB cable is to blame, I tried 2 different cables, but they were both faulty, which made me think the problem is with my HTC.
Now I tried changing phones and still had the same issue, so I tried more usb cables, and voila! Works like a charm
Thanks for the help @shivadow, much appreciated.
Always blame the cable first!
As of today, when I plug in the charger it will show the Dash charging symbol, then cut in and out a few times before it stays charging. I updated to 5.0.3 yesterday if it means anything.
Is this normal? I couldn't find anyone else reporting this.
It happens to me too, even back in Nougat. It starts as regular charging and then a couple of seconds later, switches to Dash. I figure the delay is due to the charger and phone figuring out how much battery the phone has left to determine how much amps to push through. Dash charging operates at different amperages depending on the voltage of the battery. Thing is, that either that never seemed to happen on my OnePlus 5 or I never noticed it, but on the 5t it does.
I think I'd be more comfortable with your issue. When I see the charging LED flashing and the charging notification disappearing and reappearing, it's unsettling.
My Nexus 5X would do this as pocket lint would build up in the USB port, preventing the USB cable from fully seating. Every so often I would have to take a small needle (something non conductive would probably be better) and carefully clean around the edges to pull out the lint. I was always amazed at how much build up really does end up in the USB port and headphone jack.
I used to have that issue with old micro USB ports and this definitely reminds me of that. I'm concerned though because I've had the phone less than a week and the port is clean. I also get that satisfying 'click' when plugging in the charger.
Ah, well that probably isn't your problem then. I would try another charger and cable to try and isolate the problem between the phone, cable, and charger.
Remember the OnePlus cable is unique, you can't use just any USB C cable with the dash charger. I believe IIRC the OEM cable has a 10k resistor, while most in spec USB C cables will have a 56K resistor. However you can use another charger and cable and see if it cuts out as well.

We have three 5t phones here all purchased last week. I tried all three charges that came with the phone and it does this with each one, all plugged into different outlets.
We updated a 2nd one to 5.0.3 and now this one also has the charging notifications flicker on and off about 7 times before it stays charging normally. I haven't tested the 3rd yet because it was fully charged when I came home.
It's odd that it is two of our devices now doing this and I haven't seen anyone else with this problem. I would assume that we got phones out of a defective batch, but they were definitely not doing this before the update.
Just an update, I wiped system and cache and it still does this.
It didn't do it when I plugged in at 88% immediately after wiping. But it does do it when I plug in at around 30% like I usually do.
I'm wondering now if they all do this after the 5.0.3 update and no one really notices.
