Hi, this Zopo 7 Speed I need to fix went crazy it recognizes the charger, there's a very weak red light turning on above the screen everytime I connect it, but it doesn't charge. I've already tried charging it for a whole day, and bought a replacement battery, but its still the same. The phone wasn't modified in any way, I didn't change rom or even root it(if it didn't came pre-rooted - I didn't check). Did anyone have that problem, or know a plausible solution?
There is a common issue in zopo mobile phones: sometimes the charging module need to be replaced, because it commonly breaks down.

Thanks for the reply. Ive got one question though, if the charging port was damaged, the red light wouldn't turn on, would it? There has to be current flowing through the phone and it's charging port.

To add to this subject- I started to get charging problems with my Speed 7 almost from new. The company I bought from were useless at helping and I had absolutely no confidence in them at all. Zopo wouldn't help, all I really got them was 'contact your seller' (plus the knowledge not to buy from that retailer again and not to buy another Zopo). Anyhow I limped on with it charging at times, sometimes the charge led it and it didn't charge, sometimes it would only partially charge. Luckily I had an external battery charger that can charge this battery when out of the phone, *and* I'd bought a spare battery. Spare batteries are still available unlike those for some of the other phones I had considered buying).
Anyhow on examining the USB socket it was clear the soldering was insufficiently good (or the USB socket badly designed) and had broken so depending on how the cable lay in the socket would affect whether the connection would be made or not. I found after a time for my phone that lying it with the charge cable over the edge of a table and adding some weight (not much) was enough to get the broken connection to connect while charging BUT this is only a temporary solution- you are putting extra stress on the other solder joints and they will fail too, but it gives you a little time to get the part for the repair (mine lasted a couple of months but this will vary depending on the state of your parts and how much weight you apply, and how much those contacts are moved).
When I looked for spare parts *before* spending my money I saw that screens were available there were screens (VERY important for any phone), batteries (pretty important too) but no cases or battery covers (worrying). What else was available included the USB charge board, a ribbon cable for the side buttons and the microphone so I thought that they must be the commonly failing parts.
I get the impression that they only produce the parts that commonly fail.
*IF* Zopo reads this then please release battery covers as a spare part too- they don't last to well when you have to take the cover off to charge the battery externally on a regular basis.
***Good luck, please don't forget to add your experiences to this forum as it could help other owners- thanks***
Just use a pc with the data cable and try to charge it through it for 1 hour like the it will automatically switch on to charge .
Same thing happened to me and the way worked for me
Hit Thanks button if it helped
So I want to bypass battery

Yes its true, I have the same problem, so I want to convert the phone into a wifi IP camera (I had done that with my old zopo c3) But I put the correct voltaje in the pins (with the old battery connect) and still ant get to power on...
How I can to connect directly the phone to 3.8v DC?

I have found the Xperia Z2 to be an extremely slippery phone and it dropped to the floor quite a few times already, but the last fall seems to have finally damaged it. Now, when I connect it through USB to either a PC or power outlet, it will no longer charge. I can exchange data with my PC, view the external storage etc. just fine, but the charging icon will keep appearing and disappearing irregularly, about once per second. Meanwhile the battery gets drained instead of charged.
I now charge my phone through the magnetic port one the side of the phone, which is working fine. I would like, however, to know if there is a way to repair the USB port of my phone.
Many thanks

Seems like hard to repair. You would need to disassemble the whole device. I'd suggest you send the phone for warranty repair. Just do not mention you let it fall

Look into the Z2 disassembling videos, but I guess you should bring the device into a professional phones repair service.
@MrTheMan I think I know what bricked your USB port. The damage wasn't from the fall, you just connected the Magnetic charging cable upside down... Didn't you?
If you keep tightly in some points, dies it charge then? If not and still charges intermediate then there are two things. Either one of the lines if the port is damaged or the battery is of center. Remove and reconnect. First clean it's contacts with.a brush and pure alcohol. Do the same on the port.
Mine does the opposite, USB is fine(as long as I disconnect at 100% and don't charge with MHL adapter) but magnetic has the issue.

Hi,
I did connect my magnetic charging cable upside down. And my magnetic port is messed up now. It keeps charging and discharging when connected. It doesn't charge from a USB port and i need to plug in the adapter to a wall outlet for it to charge.
Is there anything i can do to fix this?

If I remember correctly there is one diode on the PCB that get's damaged :/
I have the same problem, due to magnetic charger..
Surely this is covered by warranty? I'm still under warranty so I will try to get a replacement.
How could they design it so poorly that it can be damaged like this....

Oh, I search some info. The diode just allow electric current pass one direction only. No wonder my XZ2 keep restart after I pressed shutdown because the diode allow the electric current from battery can pass through in opppsite way.
I don't believe it is a hardware problem. You dropped the phone but the USB port is not likely to be physically damaged by a knock. I had the same problem, on a Z2 provided by my company. I have requested a change, got a new one and in a few days the second handset had the same issue too. Two phones, both new, both never dropped, used with maximum care, both with the same problem. The second one wasn't even charged more than a couple of times before failure. And I had tried it as soon as I had it in my hands, just to be sure it worked, and it did, at first. I connected it to a laptop thru USB port (3.0) and it charged. Then updated apps and system to Lollipop, connected it again and it failed. In a couple of days. I'm sure nothing physical happened, unless my USB port fried it. Notice however, that data connection is working perfectly and everything else I connecrt to that port works as well.
I have some mag chargers too, and I don't believe I've ever connected them upside down. The plug is made in such a way the it does not connect if reversed, having one contact circular shape and the other elliptical.
I checked on the Web and there is a number of Z2 owners complaining for the same issue: there's even a video on Youtube showing this exact behavior. Sony seems to ignore it.
I must admit, however, that I'm unable to explain why a factory reset does not solve the problem. Now I'm trying to flash a stock ROM (mine is branded Telecom Italia) and see what happens.

Did you repaired your device. Please relpy this
Phone 2 years.
1. Charged through the USB port on the network 220 (native charger):
It reaches 81-83% of charge and starts to go crazy: flashing red LED charging and says that is / is not going to charge.
In fact, no charges.
I tried different cords and chargers - so everywhere is going crazy with a 80% interest
2. Charged via USB from the cigarette lighter in your car or the external battery:
It's okay - safely charged up to 100%
3. Charged through the magnetic cable:
It's okay - safely charged up to 100%
These are symptoms of what is dying?
Thank you!
Hello, I searched on other threads but couldn't find a good solution,I have 2 issues related to charging.
1. I need to plug the usb ( no matter what usb it is ) around until I see the message "Charging",then if I move it even a bit it stops charging and I have to plug it around the port again.
2. When it's "Charging.." sometimes it's 10% in 3 hours,sometimes it charges like 10% in maximum 15 minutes,my old samsung charger charges my phone extremely slowly ( max 20% in 10 hours ) compared to my father's charger with a better usb ( it can go up to 100% if it's in the "right position" in 8 hours )
I have 2 batteries,each has the same problem,as far as I see there is a problem with my charging port and probably I need a new charger with USB 3.0,should I get a galaxy s5 one? And how can I clean the microusb port? I don't think it's really 100% broken because if I'm lucky and it's in an optimal "adjustment" ( the usb cable from the charger ) it charges pretty well. Can it have some debris in it? If so how can I clean it? Also I'm pretty bad at following instructions on youtube so changing the microusb port myself with would be pretty tough with all that stuff,so I want to try to clean it first.
Thanks a lot for your help I have had this issue for a while and i'd appreciate any advice. :fingers-crossed:
By the way I use the outlet
1. Replace the USB port 2. Replace the batteries.
Search and read for many posts on how to clean the port, but it might be the motherboard is faulty.

i have cleaned the port,issue remains. Isn't replacing the USB port pretty hard for someone with no experience in such thing? Could I try replacing the safety pins or anything like that before going as far as replacing the port?
Pay for a repair, if you try yourself you'll just brick the phone.

Hi there,
I am looking for a way to charge my i9100 without using the usb port, as it is broken. I do know some phones have external charging pins hidden under the battery cover - my wife's Nexus S has those. Nonetheless I couldn't find them on my Galaxy S II. Anyone had some experience with this? I do know one can buy and replace the usb port together with the whole bottom circuit board, which would probably fix my problem. But I got the phone for free to use before buying a new one and I did not want to put any money into it

Hi namarath,
I have the same problem. The usb flex cable I bought to exchange the broken one was broken itself, which is common. As a solution I bought an external battery charger for just 5 Euro on Aliexpress. Works fine since I have two batteries. The indicator light switches from pink to blue when charged. Be warned that this light is bright like disco lights
Cheers

Buying a broken replacement USB port/board assembly is NOT common......buying the WRONG version of the board IS common....There are 4 different non interchangeable versions.
See this guide that I wrote for explanations.....

But yes, I agree, an external charger and spare battery is a good option....I have done this for both my S2 and S5......

Hi keithross39,
Well, unfortunately in my case everything but loading the battery did work with the new flex cable which indeed had the same version number. So I was one of the few to pick a broken one But thanks for your work in that area!

Well, it sound impossible, but it happened. By coincident my phone got so much hot while charging, after I unpluged it, it won't charge anymore..
These deadly combination are what makes this possible:
- crDroid N
- AGNi 2.2r3
- Pixel launcher (edit build prop device.modelixel)
- Quick charge 3.0 capable charger.
=> without any direct evident that one or more of those component are the main issue..
At first, it shows no charge indicator, but battery % raising. At 30% it was to hot that I can't bare anymore but to unplug it. After cool, I plug another charger, not charging anymore.. Same charger can charge other phone. So no problem on the charger side.
I desamble my wife rn3 to test my battery & charging dock pcb board, but both are fine. The only remaining unworking part is the main board..
But actually if I charge my battery on other phone, and then plug it to my phone, it will boot up. This leave another confution:
- Can software limiter (via kernel, etc) overole hardware limiter that causing my phone overcharge?
- What other part of phone hardware related to charging function (other than battery, usb charging dock / board & flex power cable?
- Any idea to fix it?
Any comment or idea will be much appreciate..

I've already mention that my micro usb port (and it's board) + battery are doing just fine, I can plug it to my other phone and they are working.
That leave me a question, how come ? How is it possible? Overcharge directly impact the main board, not the usb board.. Normally it only toast my limiter on the usb board, or worse it would blow my battery. But it is not what happened in my case..

Oh okay, your OP was a bit confusing. Well since it is definitely the main board then I honestly don't know for sure, probably something to do with heat and I am no hardware expert. Moral of the story: don't use QC on a device that doesn't officially support it just because it's chipset does.

All of a sudden the USB port on my one year old V10 is having issues:
Won't "fast-charge" when plugged in to LG fast-charger. But does do and show that it is "regular" slow charging.
When unplugged, status bar battery icon still showing charging animation.
Does not switch (or give option to switch) to data when USB is plugged into computer nor does it appear as device on computer as it did before.
Battery is draining very fast, probably 2-3 times as fast as it should.
Also doing the following, don't know if related to USB issue:
When I power off completely, before, I had to press and hold down power button to power back on, and would also get a quick vibrate.
Now when phone is off, just quickly tapping power button for split second powers on phone and get no vibrate. Also when phone is off, plugging in charging cable powers on phone.
These issues just appeared out of the blue yesterday. Nothing has happened to phone - not dropped, exposed to moisture, didn't install any new apps, flash a rom, nothing new done to phone. It just started happening. :crying:
I would say that this is being caused by one of 2 things:
1. Bad charging adapter and/or cable. Either use another charger/cable, or buy an original LG fast charger replacement from somewhere like Amazon. 3rd-party stuff may or may not work out well, I would stick with LG if you want to play it safe.
2. The actual charging port on the phone is bad. In this case, no charger/cable will fix it. This will probably mean buying a new phone, unless you have warranty/insurance, the cost of getting it repaired won't be justifiable.
So far one of my 2 LG cables have gone bad, developed a split in the wire, now it charges my phone sometimes, but sometimes not. And it rarely works for copying files to/from PC. My other cable works fine for the most part.

I have 2 OEM LG Fast Charge 2.0 cable and brick sets, the one it originally came with plus another one I bought. I also have a second OEM battery and LG battery cradle. I've tried all these plus others I have and all get the same result.
I mostly use the cradle to keep the second battery charged and swap them out as needed each day, so I don't actually do much charging on the phone. I also use SambaDroid to move files to a PC, so the only real problem this is causing is rapid battery drain. I'm no expert but I'm guessing there's a pin in the USB port that is shorting somehow and that it's causing the battery to drain. Any hardware experts out there? I need this phone to last another year so am willing to try minor surgery if it would help and if I can find a good guide to follow.
Edit: SambaDroid not working in Marshmallow. I also sometimes just take out the SD card and pop it in a card reader.
