Hi,
TL;DR my phone is dead, my phone isn't charging, here is a little bit of detail since it's last charge.
1. B% 39 - Charged mine a bit to 39%, this was in the morning.
2. B% 33 - Attempted to connect it to an external display. Didn't even recognise it, it works as my laptop is receiving charge and is seen on there.
3. B% 10 - Tried many chargers, including original wall plug and cable, not charging. I tried connecting my phone and the original cable to my laptop, said it was requesting too much power. Laptop says power surge on the usb port.
4. B% X - Phone dead, now desperate. Back up was a few days ago but i changed a lot.
Please help, updates will be added below:
(Update 1)
Edit, not working at all, left Huawei and moved to Redmi

Hi guys I hope you can help.
I AM OFFERING A REWARD OF £10 GBP TO THE FIRST PERSON WHO SUCCESSFULLY ADVISES OF THE RIGHT FIX FOR THIS ISSUE *.
There, now I have your attention - brace yourself, this one’s a tough one.
About 2 months ago, I flashed DeltaROM 4.2.2 V2.2. I’m a serial flasher so I’m quite aware of what I’m doing. I had some issues with it that I tried to get support from them but they unfortunately didn't get back to/couldn't help me.
The original post is here in case you’re interested, the biggest issue being my S3 no longer charges correctly. If I plug a charger in from the mains, it will not register as charging. Once every 10 seconds or so, it will actually register the charger, but only for about half a second before it drops. It DOES however charge if I connect it to PC, Xbox or car (only wrks in the car if charging from a USB socket, using the in-car charger straight from the cigarette lighter doesn’t work). Basically, I can charge my phone off anything that isn’t directly the Mains electricity.
I’ve googled the hell out of this problem, only to find that posters will quickly dismiss it as faulty hardware; bad USB cable, broken USB port, bad charger, low voltage from mains – anything at all. But the bottom line is I do not have faulty hardware. Everything was absolutely fine until the very instant I finished flashing DeltaROM – I’m convinced something didn’t go right during my first installation since it was a bit rocky (read the original post for details).
After getting no answer from the Delta lot I jumped ship to LiquidSmooth (which is very nice by the way) but the problem remained. In one last attempt I started again from scratch. I used TriangleAway, formatted EVERYTHING (the kind that also deletes all your media) and flashed back to stock. Using Samsung Kies I 'upgraded' the firmware and I'm now on the latest official 4.1.2 release – and it makes me a little sad!
Just to back up the fact it’s not hardware related, I deliberately persevered with it to gather up as much information as I could, and here’s what I learned:
Why I'm sure it’s not the battery.
• I've tried two other batteries (3 total) and the problem exists with all 3
• The health of my battery is excellent
• My battery charges fine in other phones
Why I’m certain it’s not the Charger
• One of my chargers is only a couple of months old
• The charger I have been using is the official Samsung one that came with the phone, though I have 3 more – one BlackBerry one, a charger that came with my s1 (many moons ago) and two the same that came with mine and my gf’s phone. These are the plugs with a USB input on them,
• I have 5 chargers in all – BlackBerry, Nokia, Samsung (x3) ALL of which don’t work with my phone but ALL of which work with EVERY other phone in the house.
Why I’m sure it’s not the wall Socket.
• I’ve tried every plug socket in the house and even taken it to my parents and to work – same story.
• Everything else I plug into the sockets work just fine
Why it’s not a bad USB cable.
• I have 3 that I use. All of them will charge off of the computer, the car or the Xbox – they cease to work when I use them in the mains USB plug.
• They all work fine on every other phone in the house, regardless of if it’s in a mains adapter or a computer
• I am able to connect with all 3 cables to my laptop to view files.
Why I don’t think it’s a damaged USB port on the phone.
• It ‘does’ actually do everything it needs to do when plugged into my pc, Xbox or car. If it’s communicating well with other devices and harbours electricity correctly when doings so, then it can’t be the USB port since the way it gathers energy is the same.
So what gives? How can it be bat hardware if it works from the PC? How can it be bad firmware when I am back to Stock?
Thanks a million guys.
* Telling me to send it off for repair doesn't count. If it's something that I can do at home and it fixes my issue, the first person who gave that advice will be the winner. This does of course mean that if my phone is just downright screwed, there's a chance no-onw will win.
Have you tried to use a kernal like siyah kernal and change the chrging parameters for ac charging? (the Mah value for charging off wall socket...

Hi Koogly
Sorry probably should have mentioned this. I tried siyah and set everything to charge as much as it could - AC and USB. I also tried a lot of other 'fast charge' apps to no avail.
While the USB does charge, it's still quite slow at 460mA. Once in a while, the mains charge stays connected, and you can watch the mA level drop. It will start at around 999, but within 10 seconcd it will decrease down to 100mA, which is slower than the phone actually uses up energy.
Nobody?
This guide will help you:
- diagnose charging problems;- fix problems with the touchscreen while charging;I decided to write this because I searched for my problems on-line and never found a complete answer, just partial undocumented answers, essentially guesses from people, tried them, most didn't work, wasted a lot of time with trials so I hope this will save some people some time.
1. My phone says it's charging but the battery level drops or stays the same.
This is common when you are not using the original charger, but in order to check if you phone is actually charging you need to look in dmesg for something like this:
Code:
ab8500-charger ab8500-charger.0: VBUS input current limit set to[B] 500 mA[/B]
When connected to a computer (USB 2.0 port), you will usually see a limit of 500mA, and when connected to a car/ac charger, you will usually see a limit of 1500mA. If the charger is defective or not recognized by the phone you will see 0mA, even if the phone will look like it's charging it's actually not charging!
2. I get touch screen errors when my phone is connected to a PC or when charging.
It took me a while to figure this out, but it's quite simple, you need to check that your outlet is grounded. Once you plug your notebook/laptop/computer/charger into a grounded outlet all problems will go away. If you can't get a grounded outlet but still need to use your phone while plugged into your notebook/laptop remove the charger from the notebook/laptop and all will be fine.
The touch screen problems can also be fixed some times by using another charger, but this is a process of trial and error, for example I managed to get 2 chargers to work from 10.
thanks man... great post.... already clicked thanks button....
Hello,
yesterday I tried to connect phone to PC and the phone kept on disconnecting and connecting. The interval seem to be random between 1-30s but most often it's 1-5s . Also tried charging but there was the same problem.
I have lineageOS.
Tried:
Other cables - tried 4, all lead to the same result
Moving the micro USB cable gently up, down, left, right, it had absolutely no impact
Taking dust out of micro usb - no change
I am able to charge, but it takes longer time due to connecting and disconnecting.

What charger are you using? And what charger did you mosltly use all the time? Is it a fast charger or a slow charger?
I was using standard charger that came with the phone, but when this malfunction started I switched to the 3.0 charger to charge a bit faster.

Same thing happened to me about two weeks ago. It fixed itself automatically after I wiped data and reinstalled the ROM. The connection disconnection problem was still there but the frequency was reduced and after about a couple of hours it started working normally. I am not sure what causes the problem.
PS: I was using stock charger all the time and was on stock LineageOS kernel.

I think that you should go back to the stock charger, beacuse I had tried to a 3.0 fast charger (that was for motorola) and it started soon to show those issues.
If you're not using francisco franco's kernel, you shouldn't ever surpass a charging rate of 2000 mAh. It's extremely bad for kenzo hardware.
My Redmi mobile was repaired by mobile repair center. They did same thing in this video: youtube.com/watch?v=KB0dcTqn4rQ
Its been 6 month now, there is no problem in charging. I think mi using low quality charging port.
I have solved this problem
Turn on USB debugging from developer mode then put your phone on charging for 1 full night in switched off mode ...
It will charge normally

Tell us if its work for u ... your feedback will help others
its work for me after researching for 3 days
In addition to this charging connect/disconnect issue, the USB OTG was not getting detected on my Redmi Note 4, replacing the bottom PCB fixed these 2 issues. Costed Rs. 350 (around 5 USD).

Hi all! Tried searching for an answer to this but couldn't see it. I currently own a Galaxy S8 and I normally charge it overnight via a USB cable from my laptop while it is off, as the USB still delivers power to the phone even when it is turned off. Using the same cable+laptop+port as before, this does not seem to work for the Galaxy S21 that I have recently been given - it starts the charging process but then stops after 3 seconds or so. Does anyone know why this might be the case? I have not changed any configurations within Windows/BIOS at all. The S8 still charges fine via the same cable. Is there a setting in the phone I need to change? Thanks in advance!
Try changing the USB cable to an emarked cable. It may not want to charge because the cable is missing the chip.
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.
