For Android or iOS, smartphone not charging is one of the most common problems. We have compiled methods that you can test for this situation that both disrupts your daily needs and leaves you in a difficult situation.
Check the charging cable and adapter
The charging cable and adapter are the equipment that directly energizes your smartphone. Therefore, a broken cable or damaged adapter connectors can interrupt the flow of energy. You can use a different charging cable and adapter to see if the problem is with the phone or the accessories.
You can also try changing the socket or USB port where you charge the phone. Since an adapter from abroad will have a different input type, you should not rule out the possibility that it may not work in every outlet.
Clean the phone’s port
Over time, the charging points of iPhone or Android phones can become filled with small debris such as dust and feathers. This prevents a proper connection between the cable and the phone. You can follow these steps to clean the port:
- Step 1: Turn off the phone.
- Step 2: Clean the port with a fine-tipped, non-metallic object (toothpick, toothbrush).
When cleaning the port, try not to damage the pins inside. We recommend using a toothbrush and going as slowly as possible.
With the arrival of the summer months, laptop users are facing the issue of overheating. Here are laptop cooling methods.
Try removing the phone’s case
It is important to note that your phone’s case may cover the charging port. You can check the case for the cable to fit the phone properly. At this point, let us remind you that you should not force the cable while the phone is in the case. If necessary, you can remove it from the case during charging.
Check battery health with Ampere app
When charging your smartphone, you can check the state of the battery. With a simple app like Ampere, you can see the amount of current your phone draws while charging. You can also monitor your phone’s battery status while connected to the charger.
Use wireless charging
You can follow this method if your phone supports wireless charging. This also makes it easier for you to test whether the problem is with the phone’s port or accessories. Wireless charging will also keep your phone on until you figure out the problem and fix it.
If your phone won’t charge even with wireless charging, it could indicate a problem with the battery or motherboard.
