[Kate] Battery not working - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone.
My battery isn't giving power to phone.
I can boot only when i'm charging my phone but when i unplug the usb cable, the phone shut down immediately.
When i plug the cable, it show my battery percentage at 29%.
I just purchased and tested a new battery BM46 and tried to see if the fault was on my previous battery but it's the same with the new one.
Do anyone know something? Some cable I could have unplugged by mistake?
Thanks in advance guys

install ampere app and check how much max current its pushing into battery .

here is the result

I tried to unplug and plug back the battery, and this result is showing for 5 second and then go back to the previous result..

anyone ?

perhaps you burned out the diode see this thread, although I would try every other option before messing with the diodes, try another cable and charger first.

forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/redmi-note-3-charging-usb-dead-warning-t3712738
anyways do at own risk, again I would make sure its not a dead usb charger or bad cable first, or even software problem try to charge it in shutdown mode or recovery.

Hey, thanks for your help !
I tried to break both zeplers but nothing.
To recontextualize, i can't even boot with my battery plugged in. So i think it's elsewhere.

Hello,
It's look like your battery is flat. Try to charge it with a universal charger or another phone

Thanks for reply ,do you mean another phone charger?
i tried that,it just auto reboot and show wp7bootloader...and then reboot again:crying:
some one help me?is it working if i change battery?
You can either directly charge the battery, by cutting open a usb cable.
-OR-
I find that you have to play with the charger and power buttons a bit. Plug it in, out, in out, and turn it off, on, until it starts charging with out a boot loop.

Well, cutting open a usb cable should be the last thing you try :/
Try the following:
1. Plug in charger.
2. Pull battery once you see the bootloader.
3. If it boots, put the battery back in.
Or just plug in the charger and leave it for a while. It might go into charge mode eventually, or it might boot and charge eventually. The bootloader is just buggy like that.

Well the problem is that the battery is low and it can't charge when the phone is off. So you need to either charge it or get a new battery that's fully charged.

Battery not charging when off

Hi Guys,
I have searched the forums and i found that all the issues are with the phone on. My problem is the phone loses power when plugged into the PC when the phone is off and while plugged into the mains, it charges very very slowly. When it is on, the phone does not charge when plugged into the mains.
Do i need to get a new battery? Or should i go back to stock and see if it still occurs.
I am using cm10.1 nightly btw
Thanks

oh i forgot to add, i am using siyah and have pushed my usb charge to 900ma, and i used another current widget and it shows that the phone is drawing 899ma. that 1 ma does not really affect anything.
now the problem is when the phone is off, it shows charging but not really charging. i have wrote a program in c to see what current the cpu is outputting to the usb ports and it shows 500ma.
since it is 500ma shouldn't the phone be charging?
my question is will the kernel or rom affect the phone if it is off, if so it means i need to get a new battery.
But my battery can last 19hrs on a full charge, so i dont see how it is damaged.
Confused

In that case, do basic troubleshooting first:
Try with different cables. S3 cables have known issues with charging.
Try another port on the PC.
Try another PC/laptop.
Try other chargers.
Using the link I posted, check what is the current_max when you plug the phone to charge in each case. Details are in the first post of the linked thread.
Unplug and re_plug the cable from the phone when it is charging, several times if need be, to check if the charging current varies/increases.
Install stock and check if the issue persists.
Try with another battery (borrow from a friend, if needed).
If ask this fails, take it to the service centre. It might be an issue with the charging port.
Good luck!

ok i am on stock sammy rom now and it still has this problem.
this is what i know so far
my battery % shows 53%but my battery has 3.858 volts.
do i need to get a new battery or anything?
i might have damaged it due to always leaving it plugged in overnight for 1 year, but i thought li-on cells should have a chip to detect when they are full and automatically prevent anymore uptake of current
ok i am using inductive charging to charge my phone now, even though it is only 500ma, it charges faster then the 1A when using a wall charger.
So i guess that the microusb port is the one affecting it.

[Q] Phone boots, but won't charge (normally)

So, I ran my Razr Maxx down to 0% battery the other day. (I know - don't do that...)
After much reading, I tore the phone apart and was able to charge the battery by connecting the red/black wires from a USB cable directly to the +/- screws on the battery connection.
I can now boot all the way into my ROM, stock or Eclipse (SafeStrap slot 1). The battery status shows 'charging (AC)'. But the % remaining is slowly dropping. It was at 44% when I first booted. It's down to 41% now.
I powered off and let the charging screen come up - it shows 50%, but it's not gaining any charge. Last night, I left it plugged in all night (powered off) and the battery was dead by morning. I think I started with ~ 30% charge that time. So, even though this shows 50% now, I suspect it's still discharging.
I've tried different chargers, including the Motorola charger.
I tried making a factory cable, but that doesn't seem to charge the phone - it appears to just provide power while bypassing the battery.
Any ideas on other things I can try to get this to charge off a normal charger & cable? Thanks!!
I think USB port is broken. Check charging in BMM.

Well, I was able to connect via usb to my laptop and copy files of the internal sd. And the charging indicator shows that it is charging via usb/ac. Of course, it doesn't seem to actually be charging. Would that be possible if the usb port was broken?
Maybe something is wrong. To be 100% sure check it in BMM. Charge it 1hr and boot normally and check bat %

Thanks... I'll give it a try. Quick question - where should I grab BMM from? I want to make sure I have the latest version. (I've always used SafeStrap.) The thread I found for BMM looks like it hasn't been updated in a long time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005187
Okay... installed bmm from Google play...
When I first get into bmm, it shows 99% for the battery. After tapping around, it eventually updates and shows 13%. I powered off and waited for the charging screen, which shows 15% now.
I'm not familiar with bmm... is there any place aside from the status bar at the top that shows charging/battery status?
Is there any sort of battery calibration that might help?
Thanks...
Yes for the battery calibration it is in the recovery under wiping it says wipe battery stats. See if that helps

Tried wiping battery stats, and still no luck...
So, right now it appears that:
1) The battery will NOT charge via the usb port, but WILL charge when I apply +5v directly to the battery.
2) The usb port is functional for connecting to a computer and transferring files over a usb cable.
Something that occurred to me today is that, when the phone was at 1%, I plugged it into a friend's charger. She has a Samsung Galaxy S4 - I'm not 100% sure if it was the factory charger, but I think it was. Could the charger somehow have damaged the phone such that it won't charge over the usb port (but somehow leave the usb port functional?)
Could replacing the battery have any chance of success? (Seems unlikely, since it can take a charge directly.)
Is there any other debugging I can do to narrow down the problem? Or is it time to give up? Is the phone likely to be useful to anyone for parts?
Thanks everyone so far for the suggestions...

i9100 not charging when connected to charger

Hello friends,
My phone is not at all charging when I am connecting it to a charger. I have tried with different chargers with same result. When I connect the charger, it shows the charging battery icon and it also does not charge when I connect it with USB through a PC. I could charge the battery using another handset and it does charge without any issues on that device. I am totally clueless about this as it was charging normally some days back. The battery does not seem to have any issues and I do not see any problem with the chargers also as the phone shows charging status when connected to a charger. Please help me with this.

Try boooting into recovery and clearing cache and dalvik cache.
It's also possible that there is dust or lint in the charging port on the phone. If some but not all of the pins are making a connection it is possible to still see the charging animation when the phone isn't actually charging. You can clean the port by blowing into it as hard as you can, and then clean with something llike isopropyl alcohol.
Have you recentlly changed roms or anything?
Go into settings>batttery and see if theres a rogue app or anything which is eating battery. I would think though that if there was an app using enough power constantly to prevent the phone from charging at all, the phone would be getting quite hot.
There's a couple of ideas for you. Try them, then report back and I'll help you further if needed.
As suggested above, try cleaning the USB port. If it still doesn't work then there is a huge probability of USB board gone bad. You can get it replaced cheaply on any mobile repair shop or even cheaper if you want to do it yourself. Follow Keith Ross' guide on USB board replacement.

I have purchased it recently through a refurbished seller...I also have noticed that swipe unlock is also not working and when I am pressing the power button, I am not getting any menu like we usually get with reboot, flight mode, etc. when I press it for a couple of seconds, it will simply switch off. The phone is giving a decent backup once I charge the battery through an external battery charger and as far as the software goes, I do not know if any changes have been made to the rom by the seller...I am not able to boot into recovery also using the volume up + menu button + power button combination...
Can you get into download mode with volume down + home + power?
It's strange for the phone to switch off without any menu..
If you can get into download mode I think the best thing to do would be to install gingerbread stock, and then work your way up until kitkat via ICS and use a custom kernel such as Mackay.

Hi again,
I experimented installing CM11 and all seems to work fine... I mean the lockscreen and all... but I did not like the camera and I think it is not as good as the stock rom. Can you please help me revert back to the stock rom... what I need to do and what files are needed...
by the way I was going through a link on the internet on odin but my phone is not connecting to odin...is there any way other than odin to go back to stock?

Sudden Death

please help my moto g power just went into a bootloop with crDroidAndroid-11.0-20211014-sofiar-v7.11 latest running rom .
Now it wont turn on but when I plug in charger the led just blinks and nothing happens.
please help
Did it happen right after the firmware installation?

It needs a fair amount of current during boot up, a charger may not supply enough.
Batteries last 1-3 years. I just look at replacing them as part of normal maintenance.
Get it out of there before it fails... any swelling is an Li failure which can cause severe damage.
hey thanks for the info
I tried to start from stock using Rescue tool from motorola
everything went normal but now i tried to boot up and nothing happens even with the charger plug in
any help thanks
I forgot to mention if I leave it alone for a while sometimes it turn on but won't go passed Motorola
Any ideas what to do?
Thanks

Try replacing the battery, then go from there.
It may be a dead end but you need to eliminate it as the cause. You could also check it's voltage after a failed boot to get an idea of it's condition.
Fully charge it first... and don't short it out while measuring it. Measure before and right after boot attempt with no charger.
4.3 volts is about 100%
3.9 volts is about 70%
3.5 volts is about 20%
Since it's a no load reading at 100% it should be near 4.3 volts. After the attempt if it drops below 4 volts it's likely toast.
Thanks
But isn't the display supposed to turn on when I plug in the charger
Not even the display shows anything..

Probably time to have it examined. May be a loose connector, a C-port or a mobo failure.
Or may be from a bad flash...

Try a hard reboot. Disconnect/reconnect the battery if needed. Inspect it's contacts if you do and all other ribbon cable connections... make sure nothing slipped by.
Is the charge port pcb good?
Pull SD and sim cards if present.

Not for sure it sounds like either the C port pcb or mobo is bad.
Any indication the battery is charging ie heat when on the charger?
