After of few months with medium usage, micro usb port, does not charging anymore. Charger is ok confirmed with my phone, but the port seems not fit corect with green light on. I tried to keep it steady many ways but only once succeed to charge my tablet one week ago. I keep it all night long many times but nothing happened. Anyone with the same problem and possible fix?

I had a similar issue, where the port just didn't work at all. The MicroUSB port (like the others) is rather fragile and can stop working through normal use. If you're still under warranty, I'd contact your seller/Archos for a repair/replacement. Failing that it probably a job for a repair shop or time to open up your tablet and have a look yourself (if you're that way inclined).
I've had two USB charging ports fail since I bought my 101 G9 last April, each time the tablet was replaced with a new unit from Archos, the last time being in January. This time the charger failed after just one week! I'm still waiting for Archos to get back to me on this and am using an old HTC HD2 charger which charges without the "slow charge" issue.
It's down to poor quality components from Archos, I've not had problems with the micro USB charging ports on my past four phones (2 x Samsung, 2 x HTC) and these get far more use than the Archos ever has done.
I think your only solution is a warranty return. God luck with that!
Like a week ago my S3 9300 was taking longer and longer to charge now it won't charge at all, now is always stuck at 0% if i turn it off it will charge but very very slowly, i don't know if it's the phone or the battery maybe someone here had the same problem and could help me out a little, btw i have it with CM 10.1 thank you

Had the same exact problem with my i9300, got it out of warranty repairs yesterday. Was using a custom rom, but the same thing happened when I finally managed to flash it back to stock (had to manually press the microusb-cable as hard as I could into the phone all the time in order to get the phone recognized while Odin was working, was the longest flash ever lol..).
Remember reading about cold solder joints etc before sending it off, so if your phone is out of warranty for some reason you could replace the charging port yourself. Replacement part costs ~5$ (eBay) and if you got the skills it shouldn't be too hard to replace.
EDIT: Actually mine didn't even charge when power off, so I was pretty certain it was a bad solder joint or some other physical problem.. Have you tried cleaning the usb port with pressured air or just blowing into the port? Could be some pins of the usb port blocked with debris. Also check your usb cables, there are those with 5 pins and those with only 4. Saw the difference in charging speed while the thing was still working.

Well actually when i plug the phone into the PC it will recognize it and i can access the files in the SD card and Internal Memory and everything at the moment it's turned off and it's charging.
I have the problem that the phone only want to charge with soms chargers.
I can connect the phone to the original charger or to a pc or any device without problems, the phone will charge.
Even with an old blackberry charger (only 2 wires, no data) and car charger can i charge without any problem!
But when i connect the phone to the htc charger of my old phone, or to an iphone charger i see the phone is connected but it won't charge.
When i open batterymonitor i see that the charger is connected, but the phone still use his battery.
I tried this with all kinds of charders and all kinds of micro usb cables. Then i thaught there was maybe a resistor or chip or something build in some chargers, because i couls only charge with chargers with 2 wire cables.
Then i took a usb extension cable and i disconnected the two data wires so only the + and - 5V cables were left,
but still no success. If anybody knows where the problem is, please let my know
with kind regards! Martijn
I was using my Evo 3d today and put it on the charger until it was fully charged. After that I pulled it off the charger and attempted to turn the screen on and nothing happened. I pulled the battery and still nothing. Now when I plug it into a charger I don't even get a red or green charging light. I have confirmed the battery is charged with another Evo 3d I have that has a bad touch screen and even tried a spare battery. Still nothing.
I have searched this forum for possible solutions. I have tried all sorts of combinations of buttons (power and volume down, power and camera, ect.) and none of them worked. I tried booting into the bootloader with ADB using my computer and the dos prompt says "device not found". I tried the same thing with my broken Evo 3d and it booted into the bootloader with no problem.
The phone is rooted with S-off. This was done several months ago and I haven't installed any apps recently. The only setting I changed was i turned off usb debugging a couple days ago (maybe this is why the ADB method wont work). Anyone have any ideas or does this sound like a hardware failure?
The only other option I can think of right now is swap the motherboard from the phone with the bad screen into the one with the good screen and pay Net10 again to switch my service over (and go a couple days without a phone while the process takes place). This is very bad timing as I was on my way out the door to take a trip out of state to visit family. Now I can't go because I have no way to tell them when I am coming or where to meet them.
Well I pretty much gave up on getting the phone to power on and swapped in a motherboard from an old Evo 3d I had with a bad touchscreen. I got it activated with Net10 and everything works except for the fact that the old motherboard has a bad headphone jack. Does anyone know of a cheap bluetooth device that has a headphone jack on it or perhaps an adapter for the micro usb port with a headphone jack and charging jack? I know there used to be such an adapter for the old HTC phones with mini usb.
Hi,
Please, be patient while reading this post, this is a looong explanation of the brick I am facing...
I recently was given a non working XTZ SGP311 and tried to get it back to life. As I have another one SGP311 (this one is perfectly working), I am able to check many things.
I read most of topics about XTZ unbrick but can't find any way to get it back working.
The problem is that I can't have any signal from usb (data or power). I use a genuine Sony USB cable and genuine Sony charging adapter (coming from the working SGP311). The led always stays off.
I tried the different combos as described (vol- and power ; vol+ and power ; vol+ and vol- and power) during 5, 10, 20, 30 seconds (yes, quite complete tests).
I did a cross check of batteries and inside usb connector ribbon (yes, had to open both tablets for that), the working tablet continues to work with the 2 parts coming from the faulty one (battery coming from dead tablet was 0% charged), so the problem is not on the side of the inside usb connector neither on the side of a supposed dead battery. The faulty tablet doesn't boot, even with a fully charged battery inside.
I luckily own a XTZ dock (SGPDS5) that allows to charge without using usb connector (it uses the 2 contacts located on the left side of the tablet). That's the only way to get something...
Soooo, when I put the bricked tablet on its dock, the red led flashes very slowy (say, 1 second off, 1 second on red, and so on).
When I press vol- and power, nothing happens (no matter 5/10/15/20/25 seconds).
When I press vol- and vol+ and power, idem.
When I press vol+ and power : I got the sequence blinks once white led / blinks 3 times white led (after that goes to slow red blinking about if I keep the keys pressed). So not completely dead.
If I unplug it from the dock right after the third white blink, plug the usb cable to the tablet, plug it to my laptop (with emma running, tried with pc companion too), and press vol-, then....nothing happens. Really nothing. No led lit. No detection of anything from the laptop (or device manager as well). It would have been the same if I would have kept it unplugged.
To sum it up, the only thing I can have is 1 or 3 white blinks after having plugged the SGP311 on its docks.
IMO, the trouble comes from a faulty component inside the tablet. Maybe the one that manages the connection from the usb ribbon plug. I checked the tiny plugs inside the tablet (once dismantled and back repacked too), all seems in order.
Your help is welcome !
This is similar to an issue I have it sounds like, you can still flash stock rom by holding power + volume till it blinks 3x then plug USB in and hold volume down immediately.
This gives flash mode, you can use flash tool to put stock rom on with this. The issue happens when it's acting like there's no OS it seems. Problem is mines doing this everytime I flash a custom rom, it's fine with stock aside from **** wifi
Thanks for your help. I tried that yesterday and it did not work.
This may be related to the way of reset I use (but I can't have any other).
As I can't get any white blinking led when connected by the tablet micro-usb port, the one and only way to get the 3 times white blinking led is when the XTZ is on its dock (SGP DS5, power connection only by lateral contacts).
What I tried yesterday was to get the 3 time white blinking led (vol+ and Power), then output the tablet off the dock and connect a usb cable to a laptop running Sony Emma (from micro usb tablet port to usb laptop).
Precision : I kept VOL- pressed when pluging usb cable to laptop.
No result at all. No detection (either Emma nor windows).
Any idea ?

Thanks for your advice, I appreciate.
But I swapped batteries from the working XTZ to the non-working one and put a (about) 60% charged battery into the bricked XTZ (both batteries are charging when set into the working XTZ). I will try anyway.
The problem is that the non working XTZ does not charge either through usb or through the dock. The only interest of the dock is that this is only situation where I can have the "triple white led blink" (but nothing more).
That's why I need the working XTZ for charging before doing anything with the non working one.
What I could try would be to connect the lateral contacts with wires to the dock in order to keep an access to the usb tablet micro port and connect it to a laptop.
But this may be hairy as this would give 2 ways for power (one by the dock and the other by the USB port), and may produce a short circuit...
Any XTZ power experts around ?
Hello, Did you find a solution to this issue ?

Well, not a real solution...
I bought a cheap xtz with broken screen and got its working motherboard and put it instead of the other one.I got the lte component too with its antenna and put it into the 1st xtz that was not supposed to have lte.
So now, on one side I have a xtz with faulty motherboard and broken screen, and on the other side a refurbished xtz with LTE !
I like very much this tablet. Very handy, easy to dismantle and easy to swap its components.
The only drawback is no more support for Sony.
Thank you for the answer
So, you are saying that if I replace the motherboard I can fix that ? I'm looking for motherboard on ebay and I found one for $28 usd + shihpping.
Thank you for answering and take care.

Yes. I think this should be good.
Don't care about the exact matching of the product code: as long as it'll be xtz, it'll be good (16 or 32 gb, with or without lte, and any region should match).
Did you opened it already ?
Yes, I opened 2 years ago cuz my son broke the power jack connector then I replaced that twice.
I'm also tech guy, I can replace that, but won't expend more than $50 for a new motherboard. I'm looking on ebay now.
Thank you

over the last couple days, my phone has not been charging properly. go to plug it in for the night and come back to an empty battery.
looked into it and it looks like the phone is stuck in power supply mode, i cant change it.
Attempted fixes:
tried multiple adapters
stock LG cable and charger
Lenovo laptop adapter 65w PD
Razer laptop adapter 45W PD
Kopplen powerbank PD +QC 3.0
USB port on APC battery backup
stock magnetic charger does charge, it just sucks and requires the dual screen case vs the otter box i have.
reset phone (restore from backup)
works temporarily then goes back
tried reset without backup
cleaned the port with isopropyl and q-tip
checked for bent pins
the phone charges when not turned on
from what i can tell it is a software glitch, not hardware related. i get this in 2019 but i started using a G8 because i had a few issues with the case (mostly size.)
does anyone have any suggestion on what might help fix this? this phone might be 2 years old but has only been used for 8 months the battery still charges to full and otherwise works great.
i am running android security patch from august so maybe the December one will fix this.
Bro did your problem solved? How did you solved? Please tell me because I'm also having same problem.
Thanks, but select usb configuration is opening for only about Milliseconds and then it close automatically. So what should I do.
I am also facing this issue post Android 12 update. I have to always select Charging mode from the power mode and selecting 'always' does not work. Everytime i connect a charger, I have to select Charging. Mine 'Power' options stay in the drop down menu though. Its a big hassle and need a resolution. Does LG have any helpline we can contact?
Any news? I have lg q60 with that problem. Phone looks like brand new. Cleaning charging port and motherboard doesn't helped.
I have got same issue in LG G8, few month ago it happened with me, but it was fixed automatically.
Now problem is when connected to charging socket, it shows slow charging and charge mobile in 6 7 hours, when connecting USB or other OTG etc it shows Power supply mode and Computer is not showing mobile.
