Battery Charging Issue Help - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers

My redmi note 5 (ai version) appears to have a fault when charging which I am trying to figure out the issue behind. The phone is just over 12 months old. The charging indicator in the status bar goes between no charging, normal charging and fast charging mode whilst it is connect to the charger. The battery charge also appears to dissipate worse when the charger is connected. I have tried changing charger as well as cable but the same issue occurs. I have added a video of the issue whilst measuring the current to illustrate the issue I am having a little clearer.

The phone was initially factory reset but the issue persisted. I then replaced the old PCB charging board with a new one from eBay but still the same issue. The only thing that I can think the issue is related to now is the battery. Has anyone had any similar issues which could shed some light on this.

Yes im having same issue, tried all roms and everything. But charging keeps fluctuating because of that phone take 5-6hrs to get full charge.

Thanks for the reply.
Have you had any luck resolving the problem. I assume not. Have you tried getting in contact with Xiaomi at all ?

Battery weird - seems to be phone but no obvious hardware issue

I have a galaxy s2 and bought a new battery recently (samsung one) thinking it would solve an issue which I thought was my battery.
Its very hard to describe but will do my best (have checked other threads but nothing quite like this..):
The battery will always say charging when plugged in but will sometimes increase in charge and other times not. I can charge overnight sometimes and it will say charging 7% and in the morning be completely dead and will not even show the charging animation (I have fixed by using my girlfreinds phone to charge it a bit and then it will be fine for a bit).
I thought might be charger - but my girlfreinds s2 charges fine on it - her phone works fine on both batteries and charges both fine.
Seems to be something to do with my hardware and I thought it may be the charging port - but not sure as it does still say charging without having to wiggle or anything like that so that suggests not the port.
The other thing that suggests something other than the port is I have had a battery in my girlfriends phone with it on, then plug it in and it said charging 37%, take it out and put in my phone with it plugged in and turn the phone on and it will say charging 4%...
Does anyone have any ideas as to this? Any things to try?
Thanks heaps in advance!
Do a clean install of stock & test for a day or two, if you're already running stock skip straight to replacing the USB board/port. Given you've already replaced your battery, this is likely to be the cause of the issue. Search for KeithRoss39's guide in the General section; it's quick/easy/cheap (<AUD$10 for me) to do.

A116 Charging issue

For past few days, I'm facing this strange problem that the phone doesn't charge beyond a particular limit, and sometimes at all. When I plug in the charger, it displays 'Charging' but the battery level doesn't go up. I tried few things to understand where's the problem:
1.) I changed the charger and used the other ones (700mA, 500mA, USB charging with PC) and they worked well for a while, although slow charging, but afterwards the issue re-appeared and phone stopped charging even by them.
2.) I changed the battery, thinking it's a battery issue. The one that I got from a friend charged perfectly well with my own MMX charger for the first time, but now it's giving the same issue again and not charging beyond a particular level, say 40%, which will eventually come down and it won't charge at all.
I'm confused as what kind of problem it might be - hardware issue with the charging socket, charger/USB cable issue, or a firmware issue? Has anyone faced this problem till now wherein the their phone doesn't charge, even though it shows 'charging'? Please share what did you do to resolve it. I'm currently located at a remote place and cannot visit a service center.
how old is your device? if it's more than 9 months you might have to replace your battery. you could find it on ebay.

Fast Charging issue

I have noticed that fast Charging does not always happen even with the stock charger. However, if I reboot then fast charging kicks in. Is this a known issue?
No, I always have fast charging. Maybe you need to return your tab for warranty.

I have this problem as a result of getting something in the charging port, or inside the USBC cable itself. All resulting in a moisture detected error. Powering down the tablet, plugging it in and allowing the charge indicator to come on would resolve the issue, but every time I unplug the tablet I would get the error again. I followed instructions on XDA regarding USB C fast charging problems and it seemed to fix the error. I think there's still something in the cable itself because the whole problem has expressed twice now. But in the interim comma over a few days if I plug the charger in one way I would get a slow charge warning that I wasn't using the original charger. But it's the charger that came in the Box. If I unplugged it, turned the charger around and plugged it in the other way it would fast charge again. So I'm guessing there's some kind of material in the charger itself that I can't get to that's affecting how many contacts are being made. I'm still working to resolve the issue with the original charger, but I'm thinking about just getting another USB C cable. I need a longer one than ships with the tablet in the first place.
When I went to chat with customer service, they wanted me to send it in under warranty. But I really didn't want to do without the tablet for 2 weeks or more, so researching it online has solved the issue somewhat. I might take it in to a Samsung kiosk and just see if they'll try to fix it with air duster.

P30 Lite Charging Problem

Hello,
firstly i m sorry if this is the wrong section, i m new here.
Now to the issue. I have a Huawei P30 Lite with broken LCD. I replaced the LCD with an original Huawei service pack which included LCD, Frame, Earpiece, Battery, buttons etc. Basically it included everything except motherboard, charging board and coaxial cable. The problem is that after the replacement the phone is not charging. At first it was showing that it was charging without any success (% going down instead of up). After the phone battery drained, there is no charging at all.
Doing a full hardware check i noticed that there was indication of water damage on the charging port. I replaced the whole charging board. Still same result.
Reinstalled the old LCD pack (battery had some juice in it still for testing) with the same results. When the phone is turned on, i get a charging signal and the LED indicator but without actual charging. When phone is turned off i dont even get the LED indication of charging.
Steps i already took to save time:
Changed the charger. Used up to 2.1A charger with fast charge cable aswell.
Changed the charging board.
Tried both new and old battery, internal connectors etc
Cleaned the whole motherboard with alcohol to get rid of any debris even though there is nothing visible
The phone was working normally before the lcd replacement.
The phone is working perfectly with the remaining battery and was working perfectly until the new battery drained aswell. Only problem is the charging.
Cannot perform cache cleaning since battery is dead
Software upgrades, reinstalling etc will certainly not be of any help since the phone is not charging when turned off.
I am trying to avoid costly and time consuming repairs since the only fault i can assume anymore is human error which most likely i would have noticed during the repair. I cant accept that the main board died suddenly after a simple 2 part replacement and the only thing affected was the one that had water indication on it which didnt affect it so far.
I am looking for any kind of ideas since i am totally out of them.
thank you for listening.
Hey, i know its 1 year later but i wanted to ask you about this. I had the exact same problem as you with a p30 lite aswell. Did you find out where was the problem? Could you fix it? Thanks

Battery Issue

Hello People,
I have started facing this weird problem with my Mi A3 yesterday that I only bought in June.
The problem is the phone does not charge. When connected the charger, it shows "Charging Slowly" and the battery percentage stays as it is. It has been plugged in for 8 hours now with no change in the battery percentage.
Ampere shows a charging current of 70mA while the same charger & cable on my wife's OnePlus shows 1800mA current. So it's not the charger! :crying:
I have tried a hard reset, I have tried 4 different charger & USB combinations, NOTHING WORKED.
Any help around this will be greatly appreciated!
I will be set back with 15K if I loose this phone
What about the charger in the box? Doesn't that work?
Sounds like a hardware problem to me. Try going to the customer care
Thank you for a quick response!
None of the chargers are working. I've tried stock, OnePlus Dash, Moto Turbo, Samsung, everything.
I guess, service center is the only thing that can help.
Update - Even when it is plugged in, it keeps discharging.:crying:
Sadly, service center is closed, I'm from Pune and the city is in a lockdown till tomorrow.
Update - After a lot of struggle to not to reset my phone and an extensive research, I have wiped my phone clean and viola!
The charging works, it still charges slowly, but that's not as slow it was earlier.
I remember it seeing on screen 8 days untill full charge!
Now it's 6 hours to full charge, even with a turbo charger, 15W.
I will keep digging and posting the updates here.
Thanks
Charging too slow... battery draining out fast
I am facing same issue with my mi A3 since yesterday. It is taking 8 hours for my phone to get fully charged also battery is draining out too fast. Seems like this issue arrived with July security update. Even I tried hard reset and several other chargers but issue still persists. Hope that Mi sends out bug fix soon.
Resolved!
I had to visit the service center within a month of purchase due to the above mentioned issues.
Apparently some electronic failure caused the connector to fail and stopped the phone getting charged up.
My device is under warranty and thanks to that, got the faulty parts replaced for free and within 2 hours.
Which hardware parts did they get to replace??, Also facing the same issue
