Causes of charging problems
Malfunctions occur in gadgets regardless of the features of the model. The battery may not charge both in flagships (M2, M3, M4, M5, M6) and in other smartphones of various series and lines (M5 laptop, M6s, M6 note, M5X, M3s Mini, etc.).
Standard factors that affect device charging include:
- Mechanical damage to the power cord (kinks, breaks).
- Microcontroller problems.
- Connector malfunction.
- Power adapter failure.
- Systemic disorders.
If your phone is not charging or takes longer to charge than usual, it is either due to the gadget itself or to the charger. To determine what exactly happened and find solutions, you should carry out a simple diagnosis.
Cord damage
It is mechanical damage to the charging cable that most often causes Meizu to charge poorly or slowly, or not receive power from the network at all. This is checked as follows: if, when connected to charging, the indicator on the front panel of the device lights up, then everything is in order with the cable.
You should also just carefully inspect the cord. Tears and even scratches indicate that it is better to replace the charger. Otherwise, you risk not only your smartphone, but also a short circuit may occur due to such faults. You can also try connecting Meiza via another charger. If everything is in order, then the problem definitely lies not in the device itself.
Why does Meizu take a long time to charge and discharge quickly?
The Meizu phone takes a long time to charge and discharges quickly - the problem most likely lies in two reasons:
- Battery life is exhausted
- The problem lies in programs and games running in the background.
The first case means that you will have to replace the failed battery
In the second case, you will have to diagnose and fix the problem using the Clean Master utility. If this does not help solve the Meizu long charging problem, contact a specialized service center.
Microcontroller problems
The power controller is a microchip that is responsible for charging the battery from the network. You cannot fix this problem on your own; you need to contact a specialist.
You can determine that the problem lies in the controller by the following indicators:
- The smartphone is no longer charging.
- The device does not turn on due to complete discharge.
- When connected to a computer via a USB cable, the PC does not see the phone.
- The gadget charges only when it is turned off, and when it is turned on, it does not see charging.
- The system constantly reboots or shuts down spontaneously.
Most often, the controller breaks down under the influence of external factors: water or dirt, strong voltage drops in the network during charging, the use of non-original power supplies, etc.
Connector faults
In all Meizu smartphones - M3, M5s, M6, M6 laptop, etc. – connection to the adapter is made via a USB cable. If you use it carelessly, for example, by abruptly pulling it out, you can damage the corresponding connector. It, like the microcontroller, is recommended only at a service center. However, you can independently determine that the gadget is not charging precisely because of the connector by the following details:
- Contacts are sticking out of the connector or any other damage is visible.
- The cord does not enter straight, but at an angle.
- The phone does not see charging, although it works properly.
Repairing the connector requires delicate work - you need to carefully disassemble the device and carefully solder the cords and cables.
Why Meizu U10 32Gb does not charge
There are many reasons why this smartphone charges slowly or does not restore energy at all:
- The USB connector is broken or dust particles have entered it;
- the plug is loosely secured in the connector;
- the cable wire is deformed;
- failure of the Android operating system;
- malfunction of the built-in battery;
- heavy load on the processor;
- The phone is charging in inappropriate temperature conditions.
Luckily, whatever is causing the problem, it can be fixed. Often even at home, without resorting to the help of specialists from the service center.
If the Meizu U10 32Gb smartphone has not been exposed to moisture (causes charging problems), it is recommended to conduct an external inspection of the device. It is necessary to check the case for swelling, which may indicate a faulty battery.
Then shine a flashlight into the USB connector of your smartphone. Check to see if there are any internal deformations or blockages. If necessary, clean the inside of the USB port using a toothpick or other thin object that will not harm the device's components.
If serious problems are detected, such as a swollen battery, you must immediately contact a service center for service. Perhaps such a smartphone can no longer be saved. To prevent this from happening, it is recommended to carefully monitor the condition of the device during operation.
But most often, the smartphone’s charging percentage does not increase due to the fact that the USB cable is faulty. Even if the cord is not visibly damaged, you should try a different cable and charger. In most cases, replacing components helps restore charging.
Power adapter failure
Using a faulty adapter is dangerous not only for the device - it increases the risk of short circuits and fires. That is why it is important to select exclusively “native”, original models that were developed specifically for Meizu smartphones.
First of all, you need to check the visual integrity of the adapter. If you notice damage or deformation, it is not recommended to connect such a device to the network.
To prevent malfunctions, it is recommended to wisely select a battery suitable for power. Not all Meizu gadgets support 1.5-2 A adapters, so you should focus on the average setting of 1 A. Current flows through such a device more slowly and the device does not charge as quickly, but the risk of overheating is reduced. Please note that the normal charging time for Meizu smartphones is 1.2-2 hours. Some models support Quick Charge, but many devices do not have it.
Systemic disorders
Sometimes software glitches prevent Meise from charging correctly. In this case, the following notifications may appear on the screen:
- low battery keep charger on;
- low battery connect to charger.
Both of these mean that the battery is almost dead, but the system cannot sync with the charger to start drawing power from it. Sometimes, with such failures, the device charges only to a certain level, and then the process stops.
The main reason why this happens is incorrect battery calibration. It is possible to fix this manually, but you need to follow the instructions exactly so as not to damage the phone.
The algorithm of actions is as follows:
- We get Root - superuser rights that will allow you to change the subtle settings of the system. This is done using special software - for example, the Framaroot program. Please note that having root rights reduces the security of using your smartphone.
- In the application store, install and download the battery calibration program Battery
- Launch the application and allow it to use root rights.
- Connect your phone to the mains and charge it fully. If the indicator on the screen incorrectly displays the charge level, click on the “Beep if charged to 100%” button in the utility.
- We start calibration by tapping on the corresponding command in the program menu.
- Completely discharge and charge the battery again.
The second reason for system violations is the use of a large number of energy-consuming applications. If your device has many large programs installed, the battery will drain much faster, because this software consumes more energy than system services. Therefore, it is also recommended to clean the device’s memory so that Meizu does not discharge so quickly.
Thus, there are many factors that cause the Meizu battery to malfunction. If your device has stopped charging, is charging slowly or incorrectly, first of all you need to understand what caused the malfunction. In most cases, this occurs due to mechanical damage to individual parts of the phone or charger. It is recommended to replace them as quickly as possible at a service center.
Over time, Meizu equipment breaks down: the controller board burns out, frequent freezes, overheating and other problems. The most common situation is when the battery no longer holds capacity. Let's look at the problem when Meizu's phone won't charge and offer solutions.
Software malfunctions
If your Meizu M3 Note does not charge at all or charging is slow and incomplete, do not write off software problems. One of these failures is incorrect battery calibration. To eliminate it you need to:
- Open root access on your smartphone using Framaroot or another program.
- Install the Battery Calibration application, which can be found on the Play Store.
- Launch it and allow it to work with root rights.
- Connect the power supply to Maze and fully charge the phone. If the indicator on your smartphone does not show the actual capacity, tap “Beep if charged to 100%”. When the battery is charged, the program will emit a sound signal.
- Click “Battery Calibration”, thereby starting the calibration.
- Charge and discharge the battery again.
After this, a fully charged battery will show its actual capacity, and the charging process will proceed without failure.
Causes of the problem
The Meizu M3 Note smartphone does not charge due to the following factors:
- The power supply cable is damaged: it is bent, broken or the contact has come off;
- The connector of the M3 Mini charger or communicator is damaged;
- Problems with the cord control board (end with microcontroller);
- The power adapter is burnt out;
- The communicator battery was incorrectly calibrated.
If Meizu does not charge more than 1 percent or the charging progress indicator does not display, you should contact the official partner of the vendor who provides service center services.
How else can you fix the problem?
If the charging block, USB cable, connector of the Meizu Note 8 smartphone and its battery do not raise suspicions, you need to proceed to software troubleshooting. Charging problems arise due to a malfunction in the Android operating system. The only way out of this situation is by resetting to factory settings:
- Open your phone settings.
- Go to the "Backup and Reset" section.
- Click the "Reset Settings" button.
Performing this operation deletes all files from the device memory. To avoid losing important information, it is recommended to first make a backup copy through the settings.
Solving the problem yourself
Most situations where the Meizu M5 device does not charge completely can be resolved independently. It is necessary to diagnose the mobile device to find out why it began to discharge. After the user has identified the problem, we try to fix it.
Power cable
The power adapter is a vulnerable point during the process of accumulating the capacity of a smartphone. It is easy to determine whether it is damaged. We connect the MX2 Pro to the power adapter and look at the display. If the light starts blinking or the process stops regularly, the power cord is faulty.
First, we check it by touch to see if there is any internal damage. The user will feel a small “pit” under their hands if the wire has been kinked. In such situations, it is necessary to open the braid and try to solder the damage yourself, or purchase a new one.
It is recommended to buy “native” power adapters. The non-original one is cheaper, but there may be problems with the battery.
Also, a faulty power cord can cause a short circuit on the M6S motherboard. As a result, the owner will be forced to change the mobile device.
Power controller
The electronic circuit is responsible for the correct process of accumulating the capacity of Meizu M5S. You can determine the malfunction of this element using several methods:
- When connecting the power adapter via the Micro USB input, the communicator stops responding. The LED on the screen stops lighting;
- The operating system regularly reboots when trying to charge the smartphone;
- The user connects Meiza M5 Note to the computer, but the OS recognizes it as an unknown device;
How to avoid this problem in the future
To avoid malfunctions, it is recommended to adhere to the following tips.
- It is necessary to connect the smartphone to the power supply network when the indicator is 40% or lower, but not exceed the capacity of 90%. Thus, the battery will always be in working condition;
- During the process, you should not leave the communicator near water or in a room with high humidity;
- It is best to accumulate battery capacity through external batteries - power banks (PowerBank). They will stabilize the incoming current. If there is a sudden surge in electricity, they will automatically turn off the smartphone from the charger;
- Using a cigarette lighter in your car will also help avoid sudden power surges;
- Calibrate your battery regularly to ensure it lasts longer.
Battery problem on Meizu M3 Note
However, the problem may not always be with the accessories you are using or due to damage to the phone. The problem could be the battery itself, especially the age and wear and tear of your battery. Cell phones often use lithium-ion batteries and over time, the voltage and capacity of these batteries will begin to decrease. This will mean that not only will your phone die faster than it did in the past, but also that it may take longer to charge due to weaker ions.
Unfortunately, this is simply something that happens over time, as lithium-ion batteries will typically only have a life cycle of around 1000 cycles. As a result, if you charge your phone once a day, you'll only get about three years or so out of any battery before it starts exhibiting issues like slow charging or faster draining.
