Device not charging - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Device not charging when I plug into charger but it charges when it is connected to PowerBank. It is not charging in any other charger except PowerBank. I have tried factory data reset but no use. Should I download any room for solution. Please suggest me and kindly help me to solve this issue

sounds like your wall charger went bad, try another USB charger or computer to test (though I don't recommend charging on computer since it has low amps, and the phone needs 2A~ to charge properly), also try another micro usb cable.
there is nothing special about a power bank since it uses a standard USB port (with the exception of the data lines shorted).

charging with mains adaptor

Hi,
I'm getting some problems charging my Hero. As of last night, it's stopped taking any charge when connected to the mains (with the supplied USB cable and 3pin plug usb adaptors).... although when I connect it to my laptop, it seems to charge?!
It worked with both without issue until last night... although I do typically charge it at work via usb (except weekend, hence why I only noticed it last night).
Has anyone experienced a similar issue and know of any way to fix this?
Thanks,
Brian.
I've also tried both charging methods while the fone is switched off.... and it behaves the same way.
:-(
have you tried another charger? maybe an older style HTC MiniUSB charger (if you have one), cos it sounds like your charger's died.
Did you use the same cable for both methods (the supplied one with mains adaptor) if you did and it worked via pc/laptop then you would guess the mains adaptor has died.
I would say that your charger is dead. Power supplies on them blow sometimes, maybe from power surges, maybe they're just made poorly.
Try another charger.
Try unclipping and reclipping the pin plate. The interchangeable pins sometimes come loose.

Battery Driver (Quick charge, over 500mA)

Is there a program/driver that will allow the leo to pull more than 500mA when connected via usb? My TP2 (CDMA) has this installed and its bad ass. I can charge faster off things like a cable box (or my computer) than the wall. It pulls ~928mA.
Right now I have a Y adapter.. I plug the power only usb into the computer and the data into an external source (like a duracell powersource mobile). tBattery reads "AC" for charger input. Then, I unplug from the powersource and plug the data part of the usb Y into the computer, hopefully forcing it to switch to usb mode while retaining high current draw. No dice, its still on AC.. and the data cable is not communicating with the computer/phone. If i were to unplug the power only cable, it would probably switch right over to usb mode and WMDC would pop up and all that. But.. I would be limited to 500mA, which is.. really weak since the phone can only use about 150 of that for charging!
Charge with your phone off may help?
That is not possible, because PC can't give more than 500mA on one USB port.
Check in Windows device manager (PC) and find Generic USB Hub. Then look on "Power" tab.

You can't. You could burn USB port in your computer.

This is a screenshot taken from my touch pro 2.. Plugged into the usb port of my laptop. This is possible. It also is possible with my cable box. It requires a driver/app from nuerom..

btw.. ports are either in high power or low power.. 500mA should really say 500mA+... Some ports are NOT capable of doing this.. I'd imagine I could trigger the same by connecting devices to all three of my usb ports on my laptop.
many gigabyte mainboards have the function to deliver 3x more power through usb ports. ive tested myself and can only confirm it is charging within 1.5~ 2 hours completely
Yeah - maybe, but if... higher charging amperage causing battery/phone overheating and dramaticly shorting battery life. I know, that dedicated HTC HD2 charger having 5V and 1A (1000 mA), but this is TRAVEL charger and should be used only in this situation by reasons previously wroted by me. I charge my LEO only with PC.
i think it depends on the charger itself. i bought a docking station and while reading the manual i came across a switch that changes the mode between "charge" and "sync"
this lets your device acknowledge that the charger is capable of providing more mA than a normal USB port so that it can draw more power.
The ac charger (or the battery driver itself) is smart enough to trickle down the charge rate as the battery reaches maximum capacity. We have an aluminum battery cover that seems to have a heat pad to transfer that heat from the battery. The battery driver probably has provisions to stop charging if batt temp reaches a certain #.
500mA charge is not enough. The phone itself is able to draw more current than a 500mA line could provide.
I just plugged a y adapter into my laptop. Plugging only the power portion in. tBattery says USB for charger input.. Taking the data/power 'part' of the Y adapter cable and plugging it into a usb power source (with no data pins, like a duracell powersource mobile) puts the phone into ac charger input. I disconnect the duracell charger and leave only the phone plugged into my y adapter to my computer... still says AC charging.
I'm now able to charge the phone using 1 computer usb port. World doesn't end. Phone doesn't explode.
Pictures are worth a thousand convoluted paragraphs.

[Q] dropped phone. slow charging!

the other day my phone feel of the couch while pluggd into the pc. it stopped chargibg and woukd not connext to pc.
i lost the original cable so ive been using a mini to micro usb adapter for an old cable i had for my g1 which hss worked perfectly.
thought i had broke the sockey on thr phone. had a tmobile shop check it with there cable. it was fine. so boyght a microusb cable.
everything seemed fine. charge light. usb drive worked internet tether. but then the phone ran out of battety while usb tethering. it always stays at 100% before.
with the battery low it woukf rrstart every minute whole plugged into original chargrr.
its charging but very slowly. 15% in 2 hours. checked battery pins. seems fine. i dkd manage to get 37% charge in 30 monutes once irh the phone off.
the phone doesnt even get warm while plugged in. it used to get pretty warm when cuargibg.
tried hard reset. trief reflashig rom. it knows wall charger is in. says charging orange charge light.. but it charges sooo slow...
im stuck. is this a repair jobk
Just got home and tried the new cable in my home PC. ive already lost 1% battery in the space of a few miutes usb tethering....
make sure you have the "don't charge the phone while connected via usb" unchecked. Other than that, sounds like a hardware problem.
i cant find that setting, only do not charge when the phone is on., which is off. Ive just noticed something else. the brightness setting for AC power effects the brigthness when connected to usb. I dont think it knows the difference between ac and usb anymore.

when you plug it into the wall, do you get the menu for: Activesync, Disk Drive, Internet Sharing? If so, then this is true. Really sounds like a hardware issue. I would take it back in and see if they can replace the port.
nope, when i plug it into the wall, no menu. it does seem to know the difference between usb and power. as using the option "when phone is on, do not charge when the pohone is connected to pc" has no effect with the wall charger.
I tried a different wall charger. I have a travel charger which is only rated at 500ma instead of 1amp and it charges the same. I was able to get 100% overnight. woke up after 8 hours to see the green light on, it stays at 100% with the wall charger as long as you leave it alone.
back into the computer, tethering and im loosing battery as if it wasnt connected.
Looks like ill have to dig out my insurance as its not a warranty repair (and also the water damage stickers are red, due to it being dropped in the toilete 3 months ago)
hmmm interesting. phone has been in charger overnight and was at 100% when i got up, pluigged into pc for usb tethering, despite battery dropping the green light is still on.
Ive done some searches on usb micro cables and came across people having problems with some data cables with charging, as some cables cannot cope with the large current required, but they mentioned that there phone would say this and i have seen that on my phone before with my front usb ports on my computer.
Im gonna order a microusb adabter as i have 2 high qualiity usb-mini usb cables from a G1 (which was usbed with an adapter with no problems) and 1 from a tmobile mda varia, same cable.
This has now been solved. After closer examination of the USB mini to micro adapter, it apeared that the 2 outside pins (which are for charging) had been flattened. Looking at the adapter, you could only see the 3 middle pins, but with a torch you could see that the oiutside pins were compelty flat. from droping the phone its oviously twisted the connector resultinin in flatting those pins.
I went back to tesco and bought the same USB kit which comes with a mini USB cable and several converters to fit different phones.
AFter hooking up the cable and micro usb adapter to my PC, my phone was within minutes showing increase in battery charge. After a few hours with usb tethering enabled and watching videos online im up 2-%.
The cable i bought for £7.99 which is micro usb though doesnt mention any HTC phones (mostly nokia) will connect perfectly for data transfer and the phone appears to say its charging. It looses power suggesting insuficient charge current. Maybe its the rom im using disables thsi warning as i have seen this before when i connected my phone to the front usb ports, but it works fine with the back.
So, it seems i have not damaged anything apart from the usb adapter i was using.
All is well, and im charging at a fast rate with USB while tethering.
Please close this trhead as it is resolved.
Final update. After several days i have been usb tethering and charging absolutly fine. Using 1amp charger charges fast!
Even from a dead battery can plug into usb and have the phone bootup.

Need USB charing cable...

Hello
As you know, our device doesnt get charged by the USB cable it comes with (or veeeeeery slow).
As I have a solar charging device with USB slots, I need a compatible USB cable. Somehow it has to work, is there some converter or something ?
Thanks!
Dominik
Eh? My device charges just fine with the included cable.
You will have trouble charging it from a solar powered USB charger as I'm guessing it will only put out 5V at maybe 500mA. That's not enough to juice the TF. It's not the cable though.
Because ASUS used a USB connector on its cable, unfortunately does *not* mean this USB connector 100% follows the specifications for USB.
It has a trick, whereby, when connecting to your PC it works like USB at 5v. But, when connecting to a 15v charger it switches to use 15v instead.
The TF charging indicator, and Android OS battery settings, only indicate charging when 15v applied. At 5v it may trickle charge with screen & wifi & ??? turned OFF. I never try charging at 5v because it is too slow.
LOL
I don't think it charges at all at 5v?
EDIT:
How can I delete a post?

It will, provided you have the amperage. But its only trickle so its only really charging with the screen off and charges slower than the tablet uses battery.

Charging problems, SGS3 micro usb cable different pinout?

Hi everybody!
I'm having some problems when charging my device. I've noticed that when I use the stock charger with the stock micro USB data cable, the phone stops charging and it just charges the battery in 1% to 5% after I plugged it on the wall, and the charging led remains on. So I've left the phone plugged into the charger for 2 hours and nothing happens, the device remains cool and the charger remains cool either.
I tested the following scenaries and the results are pretty weird:
a) I tried using the stock SGS3's charger with my Nokia CA-101 data cable, and the phone charges successfully in about 2.5 hours from 0-100%.
b) I used the stock SGS3's charger and the stock data cable, and charged my old Xperia X10 mini pro and successfully charged 0-100% in about 1 hour.
c) I tried charging my SGS3 with it's stock data cable from USB port and It seems to charge very slowly: 20% per hour.
I don't like using different accesories to charge my phone, because I read somewhere that Samsung uses diferent usb pin arrangement because of the Device ID pin.
So my questions are:
What is happening with the phone/battery/charger/usb cable? They seem working well separately but not together.
Does the samsung micro usb data cable uses different pin arrangement than standad micro usb data cable? or Can I keep using my Nokia CA-101 micro usb data cable?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 it is a remarkably simple phone to disassemble and I'm thankful for that since...
I also had 6 different chargers and cables that would not charge the phone reliably, I took it to Sprint and of course they plugged it in and it charged ok when left alone not moved in any way. Well the charging for me was very intermittent and some cables not at all. It was as if the plug was inserted and removed and inserted over and over again, typical problem if the solder of some connection on the PCB is broken or high resistance for some reason.
I removed the PCB from the phone and examined it to find a micro USB mounted to the PCB with 6 + 5 additional conductors, the 6 that were in the middle of the connector I believe connect directly to the conductors of the USB cable. The other 5, 2 on one side and 3 on the other of the main 6 were broken solder joints on 2 of them. I have a really fine tip solder iron and a microscope which helps but is not totally necessary to re-wet the solder on each pin of the connector. Now my phone works like brand new!!!
I have at least 33 years experience with soldering, so this operation may not be for everyone.
Good luck,
Dude I wish I had the confidence to attempt something like that, well done you

Have you ever done simple mathematic & calcs based on the current output?
You have 2100mAh battery in SGS3, right? And you have STOCK charger. Output = 1A=1000mA => full charge (assuming 100% charging efficacy) would be 2.1hrs. Therefore, 2.5 hrs result from not 100% charging efficacy - simple.
Now, you have USB port in your laptop/computer. From USB 2.0 spec, its output is rated at 500mA => full charge would be more than 4hours.
The difference is result of not 100% efficacy of charging, but this, I assume, you can calculate by yourself (to give you a direction: how much data is spent from a phone to power the screen and to supplot media connection with computer, while charging via USB?)
Sorry that I had to give you some basic calcs from primary school, but... this is what you asked for.
