It's definitely the port.
Take your phone battery out.
Get some methylated spirits. If you can't get that, get some rubbing alcohol. Don't use anything else.
Take your phone battery out.
Get a sewing needle or pin, or safety pin. Use that to scrape out any lint and run it along the length of each of the 5 usb contacts (very very delicately). Make a tiny ball of tissue paper (less then a millimetre in diameter) and soak it lightly with methylated spirits or rubbing alcohol and push it around inside the port. it must be small enough not to bend or damage the protruding usb pins and plastic support.
Did you take your phone battery out? OK put it back in and plug in the USB and see what happens. Make sure you are using you AC charger for this. Sometimes it won't charge off a low current USB connection, if the battery is that discharged.
I had your exact symptoms and this solution fixed the problem permanently for me.

My phone had the exact same problem, wish I had the explanation you just got. I had to improvise as mine went weird 3 days after release! But do what the replier said, it will fix it permanently, and don't be afraid, better doing it yourself than having to flash a stock ROM in order to remove CWM which I assume you have, and sending it back. Don't be a wuss!

Hi all,
My UK Galaxy s3, on 3uk Network, running CyangenMod V 10.1.3-i9300 is having problems (hardware issues, not related to software)
To simplify my issues I will break it down into parts
A. Problems:
1. My phone will not charge, nothing happens when inserting the micro usb charger.
2. My phone signal (3uk) comes and goes randomly.
3. When trying to charge phone whilst it is switched off, an explanation mark and temperature gauge appear flashing and the phone vibrates as the icons flash. the phone does not charge.
B. Cause:
This all started when I was walking in heavy rain for about an hour, my phone was within a pocket on my supposedly waterproof jacket. I returned home, removed my phone to find it drenched, I removed the battery and left the phone to dry out for around 24 hours. Now I have the issues above.
C. Advice Please:
Is my phone ready for the scrap heap? I am ready to list it as faulty for spares or repair only on eBay and buy another phone. Before I replace my phone is there any chance of bringing it back to its former glory?
If anyone knows what are the likely problems or how to fix them I might have a go at repairing it.
D: Further info:
I have had my phone for around 18 months and it is a little battered, the screen is fine as I always had a screen protector on it, but the chrome trim is a little scratched and dented. I really fancy a new phone but ideally wanted to wait to March when I can upgrade my phone without penalty.
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Oliver
1 Charger or cable or USB faulty .
2 Network problems .
3 Overheating .
But all this sounds much more like internal component fried due to moisture .
Could be the usb port .
check charging port connector, disassemble and clean with cleaning solution.

I tried cleaning with compressed air, an electric toothbrush and a cloth but no success
I have some TimCleaan, CPU thermal paste remover knocking around, maybe I should give that a go?
I managed to remove the 2 lower screws near the usb port and remove the plastic but iot still isnt easy to clean right inside of the port
Thanks for your advice

I've just tried it connected to my PC, unfortunately the phone responses the same as when connected to the outlet plug. I think I'll list it on eBay, I
just wondered if they might be an easy fix, but it doesn't look like it.
I'm eyeing up a LG G2 as a replacement, but perhaps I should get something more robust or waterproof lol
Cheers everyone
For charging issue... few months back my S3 was too not being charged, i was too in rain with waterproof jacket and phone in pocket. but i never had that exclamation sign and temperature gauge. i fixed it by changing the micro usb port of the phone. that solved my problem but for other issues, i dont know what is causing that.
Wife fixed it (partly)
I gave up on this phone, but the wife picked up my tools and said she fancied a p[lay around. She stripped the phone used some liquid gold we had lying around and brushed the pins on the back of the micro usb port. she bushed a few other things spray compressed air and put it together again.
The usb port now charges, the only issue now is the signal coming and going all the time. if a call connects it holds the signal but otherwise the signal works for 10 secs then goes off for around 10 secs continuously.
Any ideas anyone?

i think because of water inside your phone, the signal receiver is too not working, try to clan the receiver too..

Intermittent signal problem.
Phone is completely dry and has been cleaned everywhere. The antenna has been disconnected and reconnected and I have reflashed CyanogenMod 10.1.3
The intermittent signal problem continues
Anyone have any ideas? I'm going to try a new sim, but I really don't think is the sum card because if I make a call whilst I have signal the call doesn't drop, it stays connected until I hang up, then the signal goes and comes again
My WiFi and everything else on the phone is perfect. Any ideas anyone please?

Hey Guys,
Recently my V30 has had a blinking arrow inside the battery icon. I've searched the internet and can't find any info on it. Can anyone give me some insight? The phone is only a few months old and hasn't been in the water.
Thanks!

I have the same issue. It's causing a huge battery drain! Were you able to resolve the issue?
Yeah, Turns out it means there's battery drain due to moisture in the charging port. I used isopropyl alcohol to clean the charging port and it eventually went away. You may have some debris in there. Was really difficult to figure out what that arrow meant. Wish there was better documentation.

Are you the same person who suggested this solution on Reddit or you read it on reddit and then tried it?
I think it's because the charger you used is giving too much current to your phone. You can fix this by connecting your phone to something that has low current like laptop or computer usb port and then wait for a while so that your phone can adjust
Ok so idk if I'm the first or probably the last one to encounter this issue but I'll be honest here. My device is LG G8X DUAL SCREEN. In the past week or so, I noticed that my phone randomly stopped charging whilst being plugged in. I thought that it could be some dirt clogged into the post so I cleaned it with a Q tip and some surface cleaner. Didn't seem to work. I let it be and felt it would go away eventually. Or so didn't I felt. I tried resetting the device (factory reset) and that didn't seem to budge the constant blinking of a right arrow inside the battery icon. Around here, I saw someone suggesting IPA and felt I should really give it a try. About 30 minutes before I tried that method and since then there hasn't been the issues so far. I'll keep y'all posted and will ping if issue persits. Hope this helps those in need

Yeah I had to get the usb port replaced on my V30 due to this issue. That fixed it.

I solved my blinking arrow problem, with a new USB C cable, try that aswell.
I recently started running my humidifier again at night, and when I wake up and plug in my phone, I get this pop-up. It makes a noise even if the phone is set to silent mode, and it won't let me do anything until I unplug it. I guess the sensor must be pretty sensitive, because it's not that steamed up in the room. Has this feature been here all this time, or did it come more recently with an update?

Mine was doing that today to. Try blowing into the chargeing port and as well as taping the phone against your hand. I did that and didn't completely work so then I tried turning the phone off to charge and it it's worked fine since then

Same here as far as turning the phone off, I just turned it off and plugged it in, then when it rebooted it didn't give me that pop up anymore. Thanks.
If nothing works you need to take it to your carriers store and they will replace your charging port on your phone. Happened to me 2 months ago and took it in and they said that's not unusual for that to happen so they replaced my port and no issues at all now.
I am sorry to say it but it is most likely charging port problem.
Not in every case of course but it happens.
My Galaxy S8 Plus died because of faulty port.
Be careful.
In all fairness to the phone, I was running my humidifier all night long, and while it wasn't real steamy or anything, it was more so than normal.
If Still Needed..

Yeah the moisture detection on this device seems to be overly sensitive or a bit off-kilter. For me it happens with the OEM cable and also a completely different cable from a Chromebook.

Same here! It's getting worse too because I can't establish a connection to Odin and update my phone. Freaking T-Mobile never releases the U1 updates like other carriers do ?
I just started wondering if a factory reset would help, make it forget that it ever detected moisture ?

I do believe it is a little over sensitive, but I would say try cleaning your charging port.
I was getting that message off and on for months and someone said to check the port. I shined a light in and it looked fine so I didn't bother. After a few weeks it got worse so I stuck a pin in there and pulled out an unbelievable amount of compacted pocket lint...
I'm guessing pushing a little bit in adds up over time and either the sensor was being tripped by the lint or the lint was trapping moisture.
Good luck.

STANIMAL: I had the moisture detected message and there was no moisture. After many different attempts to dry it with no success I ended up looking in the charging port and noticed a ton of dust, dirt, and gunk build up. So I took a toothpick and carefully scrapped all the gunk out while holding the phone up so that the gunk would fall out. I also used a blow dryer on cold to blow any excess out and when I turned my screen back on it was no longer giving the error. You must be careful not to break pieces of the phone inside the port and also avoiding toothpick chunks becoming lodged in there. But this truly does work.

Sewing needle works the best. I've been telling people this for 3 plus years now. Type c ports are prone to dirt sweat and then being packed in everyday

STANIMAL: Right a sewing needle would work, however, i went with a toothpick because it is made of wood and therefore much less likely if not nearly impossible to damage any plastic or metal inside the charging port area. Needles are strong metals and very sharp, can damage other metals and plastics.
I bought my Huawei MediaPad M5 8.4" android tablet back in 2019. It has given me almost no issues other than it started to slow down recently.
Before a trip I took, I fully charged it, powered it off, and put it in my bag. This was on a Thursday. A few days later on Sunday I went to use it and it would not power on. Plugging it into multiple known good chargers does nothing. It is showing zero signs of life (no vibration, no screen power). There is zero physical damage that I can see - no bends or cracks or anything. And the USB-C port still feels solid.
I've tried...
Holding the power button for 15-20+ seconds.
Holding the power button and volume down for 15-20+ seconds.
Holding the power button and volume up for 15-20+ seconds.
Holding the power button and volume up+down for 15-20+ seconds.
Tried charging it with multiple known good chargers.
Tried leaving it plugged into known good chargers for hours.
Tried the button combos above while plugged in.
Tried wiggling the power button, volume rocker, and the physical "home" "button" in case they were stuck and causing issues...
Even tried flipping the USB-C cable...
Tried adding some very light pressure to the power cable (like up/down/left/right) to see if it would give me a sign that the charging port was loose.
Have tried googling it, a lot, but seems like no one else has run into this issue.
I've tried all of the above many many times, on different days just hoping for any signs of life and got nothing.
Anyone else run into this and figure out what the issue is?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/advice!
First off hats off to you for posting the perfect model of how to troubleshoot and then post your experience!
Sad to say I don't have / haven't had this issue. But I do want to ask obvious questions (at the pain of seeming obtuse) and propose one more (probably futile) step and one possibly fruitful.
Questions:
- You've wisely tried swapping chargers. Have you tried multiple cables? (I bet you did.) And did you try both USB-A to USB-C and USB-C to USB-C cables?
- Can I safely assume that when you call a charger a known good one have you used the same cable and charger combo with a different Android device (such as a USB-C equipped phone) to attempt charging the tablet?
- Do you feel as though the power button is actually moving when you press it?
Suggestions:
Try using a toothpick immersed in rubbing alcohol and gently probe around the USB connector. (Maybe there's some dust or crud blocking the contacts.)
This seems dopey but how long have you plugged in using a known good charger? I have succeeded with a hoplelessly old Samsung S3 and Nexus 7 tablet by leaving them charging for 24 hours.
In each case I walked away from the seemingly defunct device with a sense of resignation and disgust. Boy was I surprised to see that they were alive again! In those cases the devices had weak batteries and it took massive charging to get them to boot again-- and the battery life was poor once they actually booted. (My Nexus 7 is on my desk here begging to be put out of it's misery. It has a replacement screen, so it's been through rough times.)
FYI:
You mention that the tablet was gradually slowing down. If you ultimately succeed in breathing life back into it: have you periodically cleared the cache partition by booting into recovery. (I have to bet you did 'cause you have tested with the volume up + power key combination in troubleshooting.)
P.S.
I have also had mine since 2019. I have not noticed any significant degradation of battery life or unusual decline in performance. Periodic cache clearing has helped me. (And I think that silly defrag notication is probably an act of superstition. But I do let it function anyhow.)
Even if nothing I've said turns your day into sunshine, I hope at least it's reassuring that you're not screaming into the dark alone. Feel free to ask for more ideas if you have any more evidence to work with.
1st - Thanks for the quick reply! Definitely appreciate it!

Yeah, tried different cables and power adapters and wall outlets. All are known to be good by plugging my phone in and getting it to charge. I did not try a USB-C to USB-C - I actually don't think I own one, hah. If I come across one I'll give it a try and update if that fixes it. Kinda tempted to go find one - maybe the extra juice will give it the extra kick it needs?? I've seen weirder things...

Good idea! Will give this a try but currently out of rubbing alcohol. I did try (and forgot to list even tho I did this whilst making the list) using some compressed air around the buttons and around the charging port (making sure to keep the can up-right so I'm not freezing anything)

I didn't leave it plugged in overnight since the tablet isn't functioning properly and don't want to leave it charging whilst I'm sleeping in case it shorts or whatever. But I did have it on the charger, multiple times, for 2-6(?) hours at a time. It is plugged in now.

I have not cleared the cache partition via recovery. IF I get this thing alive again, will give it a try. I only mentioned it to highlight how little issues I've had and how completely out of the blue this no power issue is.

I can report to have had the exact same issue with my Huawei MediaPad M5 8.4", battery went empty when the device was in the bag over a weekend, and I have not been successful in recharging or starting the device with any of the trouble shooting given in the above messages. The USB-C connector on the device doesn't feel any looser than on any other USB-C device that I own, and all the other devices recharge from all of the charger + cable -combinations that I've tried on this device.
Same device, same problem. Have tried all the above with no joy. Wondering if the battery has gone into deep drain so currently trying 4.2v @ 600mah 'trickle' for 24 hours. My device was new 1/1/20. Best tablet I've owned for performance, display resolution, battery life () and aesthetics. Damn shame if dead. There is a useful teardown vid here here but I can't find a replacement battery anywhere. If I have any luck on any front I'll post back.
Hello,
Same problem with same tablet. I've tried to replace battery and USB c connector and my tablet doesn't start.
I've tried many cables, many adapters, nothing work...

You even replaced the battery AND USB-C connector and that didn't give it any life?!? That's surprising to me! Thanks for trying that and reporting results... the mystery continues...
A buddy of mine mentioned another piece of hardware that could have failed, I'll report back if he remembers what that was.
@etraga When you had it open, you obviously didn't see anything bad but did you take a real good close look around specifically checking for any signs of a short or corrosion or anything like that? Sometimes they are not always obvious or easy to see.
Two Questions for everyone having this issue:
1 - When was the last time your device worked? For me it was a few days before my original post; around March 24, 2022. Curious if all of ours died at basically the same time, but maybe didn't try using it for a few weeks/months?
2 - What country are you located? USA for me. Asking because I wonder if there is ANY relation to the Huawei ban in the US. Highly doubtful, but at this point who knows...

Yes I've replaced both, I found a battery from Deutschland and USB-c connector from China on AliExpress. Maybe one of them don't work, it's really weird...
I didn't find anything special when I open the tablet.
I'm from France and my tablet doesn't work since May or June.
Found this thread after replacing the battery of a Huawei AGS-W09 MediaPad did not change the symptoms:
Red LED is on, close to the selfie cam when plugged into charger.
LED goes dark when disconnected.
No other form of life provokable from the machine.
Last summer (I think it was August 2022) I realized a sharp drop in battery capacity that soon resulted in the status quo described above.
Pretty sure a battery change should fix it, but no, it didn't. Just saw naive me got the battery from Aliexpress, however, so maybe I got a bad one.
Your symptoms are little bit different aren't they?

Here another one , Huawei Mediapad 8.4 SHT_W09 . It wont turn in anymore
i was busy with loading a stock rom from Sd Card, but i think it had a lack off power, i had it frequently on the charger.
It was functioning well but i was playing around with other roms
It was unlocked and by far a great tablet, very solid and no loose connector or something like that
if i connect it to my pc i can hear that the USB connects.
hope to bring it alive and kicking...
