Phone Charging Problem - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hi,
Since few days my phone is charging very slowly. When I plug in the charger it shoot up to 400 or 900 milli ampere in AMPERE but then gradually fall down to 30 or 70 or 180 etc milli ampere and stays there. I have tried 2 Redmi Note 3 Original Chargers along with 3 different USB cables (two of them are from Mi). Out of 15-20 tries sometimes it charges by staying above 850 milli ampere but below 1000(never goes to 1800mA+ before the malfunction). I do not understand what the problem is and there is no solution to this problem available anywhere online. Recently Mi service centre changed the battery and charging point of the phone and the phone charged normally(IIRC) during the first day but malfunctioned from the second day. The ROM is MIUI 8.5.7.0.
Do you guys have any idea?
Regards,

Have you tried those chargers on another smartphone?
How they perform?

How much time it is taking for full charge?

Sorry guys, I was busy and took my Phone to Service Center. They fixed it by replacing charging port again. Now my phone is charging normally.
Thank you both of you for showing interest in this thread.

[Q] Is my HTC One Max charging at 1.5 A?

Hello,
How can I tell if my HTC One Max is actually charging at 1.5 A? I've had the phone for about 4 days now, and it charges soooooo slowly. One night/morning it took almost 6 hours to fully charge from around 15%. This can't be right. There are times I've just sat in bed (Thanksgiving Day, for example) doing some light texting and light web browsing...all with the official 1.5 A charger connected, and at times the battery level DECREASED, even while connected to the charger. I have the brightness set to auto, and the screen timeout set to auto. This can't be right...
I downloaded a couple of apps from the play store that try to estimate the charging speed. Battery Indicator estimates that my phone is charging at a rate of about 14.3% per hour. It's also telling me my phone will take 47 minutes to get from 88% to 100%. WHAT!? Another app, just called "Battery" says my phone was charging at 684400 mA...then it changed to 219900 mA. (Of course, neither of these numbers make sense, either. That would be 684 amps or 219 amps...enough to blow something up.)
Again, I'm using the official charger that came with the HTC One Max saying it supports 5 V, 1.5A. I have other chargers lying around different rooms of the house...there's a chance that I'm not using the actual USB cable part that came in the box (it could be mixed up with an older one I had lying around), but would that affect charging speed?
Thanks for any help you can give me. I'm about to call HTC now.
you should really try it first with the OEM cable and charger, but it should not take 6 hours..if it does with the HTC cable/charger, take it back, its defective
assuming you are on stock, and not rooted/tweaked

1.5A charger charge 1500 mAh per hour so it should charge in about 2 hours and a half..
You have one problem of two ether your charge isn't good or your
battery.. if your phone run out of battery very fast then it's your battery else it'sthe charger

I had a friend of mine get a new HTC One and it tooks hours to charge.. it was the charger which was at fault. as said in the previous post. if it also discharges fast then the battery is at fault, if it only takes time for charging it is definitely the charger. i am guessing you have found the solution already lol

I think I figured out the solution: In any scenario, I was using the charging adapter that came in the box. The variable that changed was the USB cable...since I have several lying around in about every room of my house. It seems only that the USB cable that came in the box will charge the phone quickly...around 3 hours and 20 minutes from completely dead to 100%. Any other USB cables seem to charge at about half that speed. (And of course, charge time suffers when the screen is on and you're using the device.)
But I still find this really odd. I assumed all micro USB cables were created equal. Perhaps not. Am I missing something here?
That's odd. This phone has the quick charge component/feature from Qualcomm, but that should not make any difference based on the cable.
well may be the other cable were not plugged in properly and did not reach the charging pins in the correct place? Do you notice a difference in attaching and detaching the cables?
for whatever reason, factory cables ALWAYS work best with the device they came with..
sometimes aftermarket cables are ok, but you can never be sure...
If you can, use the cable and charger that your device came with; that will always be best.

I had the same issue. I was going to use my old S4 cable cause it is longer. It gave me a notification telling me to only use the charger that came with it. Was the cables fault. My guess is it is using an extra pin to tell the phone it is the correct cable sort of like how OTG cables work.

Wall chargers strange phenomena...

Hello!
Phone wall chargers strangeness... So we are talking here about the phone Lg g3 and my adventures with chargers for it. So my original charger broke so I decided to find myself another one original but couldn't find. I got myself original 2 ampere samsung charger probably for the s4 and made some tests. From 39% to 49% on airplane mode with everything turned off and only the display constantly on for all the time on zero brightness, I got it charged with 10% for 20 minutes which is exactly 1% for two minutes. Then I charged it with 1.5 ampere nokia lumia charger and for 10 minutes i got 10 % charge which is exactly 1% for a minute. And finally I charged it with 850mA old sony ericsson charger and i got the exact same result as with the samsung charger which is in theory 1.25 A more powerful . Is this something about the incompability with the lg phone on a samsung charger or what?
Thank for the future possible replys and have a nice day.

how long does your elephone p9000 take to charge with fast charging

Just curious. Thank you

About 90 minutes
Weird Mine takes 1hr 50m from 0 to 100%
Only 30 mins but lasts for 3 days of constant use afterwards.
I'm also surprised by these different delay...
I'm not using a quick charger and I'm able to charge my P9000 phone in 2h00/2h15.
I was waiting for a 30/45 min complete charge from 0% to 100% with a Pump Express + Charger.
I tried my phone on 2 Pump Express (not +) charger with a probe linked on the USB power lines and an Oscilloscope and it never change the power supply voltage....
It always stay at 5V.
I was thinking the phone will manage the voltage to accelerate the charging process, but nothing happened.
So, to have a complete view of the problem, I've ordered an original Elephone Quick Charger, and I'll check if there's any change about this subject.
But from my point of view, the Pump Express System is not working at all on the P9000 with the Aerom V4 or Stock ROM 20160608.
If other people have the same issue, please share it here to identify if it's a general bug or limited to some devices only.
20160608 kernel hace messed up fast charging. To me in aerom3 it takes about 70 mins from 0 to 100%
Fast charging still slow
I havent charged from 0% but based on charging times so far I reckon 1.5hrs would definitely get to 100%.
I use an Anker faster charger and Anker usb cable.
Last phone got fried with Elephone cable.

Slow Charging

Hi guys . My phone is 20 days old.Today I suddenly noticed that it is charging slowly.So I downloaded "Ampere" apps.And it show current maximum to 450 ma and averege is 250-300 ma.So I replaced the cable with my friends lenevo cable.Then it shows 850-1050 ma.But somewhere I read that it should show minimum 1500ma.
And another problem I am facing with my mi charger.It is a disconnecting often.But the Ampere apps showing charging current after disconnecting.
Plz read my problem carefully and suggest me what I have to do.
And what charging current are u getting in " Ampere "apps.
I am eaxausted with this problem as I faced the same problem with redmi prime 2 and I sold that phone.But I don't want to sell RN4 as it is beast in performence and I love my phone.:crying::crying:
I am using miui global 8.5.8.0 with original mi charger.
It happened to me too, but my phone is over 6 months old, i checked in ampere it was showing only 300-400 mah.. So i changed the cable and it catches only upto 1100 mah, previously with mi cable it was showing around 1500-1600 mah.
I think u need to buy new cable which have high speed.
It changes all the time.
It always take two and half hours around.

Download ampere app from play store and check the input current if it more then 1200mA + then its fine it not then something is wrong. Try with different cable.
PS : I normally get 1500mA to 1800mA

Quick charge not working on 9.6.25?

Guys recently i just noticed my device charging slower tham usual with the stock charger as well as other qc 3 certified devices and it also dsnt show the quick charge logo in the notification drawer!!!

download amps app and check current rating feed to your phone, fast charge > 2500 mA, if lower, try change your charger.

After the update mine also shows 3hr's to charge and slowly charging. I brought the phone 10 days back and updated to this 9.6.25 a week and facing this problem.
Have no problem at all with Poco f1 Miui 9.6.25. Charging time is around 1hr 45 to 2 hrs if not mistaken.

Ive already tried it it shows almost 1450 ma
And ive tried with different cable ... different charger and even qc3 power bank no luck so far could it be a hardware issue in my phone?

Try to charge below 50% from current battery level.my stock charger rating 5V 2.5A..can get around 2.2A reading from app.
Its starts slower then it gets faster , from 10% to 100 % in under 2h , so its working properly.

Don't worry its just a software issue I just flashed the miui 10 beta Rom and now everything is fine it shows the QC logo also
Me too facing the issue. In the screenshot, charging at 18% and showing 920 mAh
Me too facing the same issue and i am on Miui 9.6.25 as well.
I just had a chance to check it, as I recently upgraded to 9.6.25. Well, no changes for me - there is QC icon next to the battery and Ampere shows current reaching 2900 mA.

You guys don't use the search function on the thread and just keep on making new threads about the same issue.
It has been well documented now that the charging slows due to thermal throttling. The hotter the phone the slower the charging. If anyone wants to test this, charge your phone for 5 mins before an air conditioner and measure the charging speed using the app called 'Amps'.
You should see the charging speed at around 2700-2800mah provided your phone temperature is quite low.
Otherwise, take a chilled watter bottle from your fridge and pour it generously on a towel. Now place your phone on that towel and charge you phone. As soon as the temperature starts falling to around 32-34 degree celsius, the charging speed will increase.
This is built in safety feature. The charging slows when the battery temperature is around 36-37 degree celsius as per my observations.
Cool you battery to around 30 degrees using any method you can and then check the charging speed.
Not your charger, not your cable...its mostly the charging algorithm with built in thermal thresholds which is at play here.
DO TELL ME YOUR TEST RESULTS.
I just found this thread - I have similar problem but it's rather not connected with temperature.
After one of software updates I discovered that quick charge is not working. Maybe it wasn't connected with update but this is how I see this.
I was waiting for software updates and hoping that they will fix my problem but nothing was changing.
Recently I decided that maybe factory reset will help, but unfortunately no.
After this reset I was checking many chargers and it appeared that with laptop charger (with USB C output) quick charge works! I was checking parameters in application 'ampere' and there is information that this charger is AC, and rest is USB. So it looks like QC works but....
Please help, how can I make quick charge works again via standard quick charge charger.

Iam in 11.0.5.0 global rom can any body confirm if its a rom issue or my specific issue
I want to clarify that my Poco on fully stock 11.05 charges as fast as any previous version of MIUI.
I take care of my battery. Charge till 80 and never let or go below 20.
If you can maintain the variables, and it still charges slow then you have issues with battery IC or the battery itself.
The highest I got without ceiling fan and without ac is 1590 mA. Maybe I got higher other times but I installed the app just for this post.
Don't rely on software reporting.
Do you have a multimeter?
Ambient temperature plays a HUGE role when it comes to battery, even if it's 1 degree more or less.
