What to do when Android phone won't charge?

When your Android phone is not charging, don't worry or try the following ways to fix it.

Restart your phone

Battery charging is not only a hardware-related problem but also partly affected by software. In many cases, errors and system conflicts that cause this phenomenon can be resolved simply by restarting the device. In addition, in cases of phone errors, restarting is an easy and safe solution that you should try first.

Clean the charging port

If you often put your phone in your pocket or bag, the reason why your Android phone cannot charge the battery may be due to lint or dirt sticking to the charging port, causing poor contact with the charging cable. To fix this, you can try blowing hard into the charging port on the device and reconnecting the charging cable.

Check the charging cable and charger

The cable or charger is the thinnest and most easily damaged component in the phone charger. The reason why the phone does not charge the battery is mostly due to the cable and charger. The fragile cables are very vulnerable to physical impacts and are often bent and twisted. To check if your cable is damaged, just connect the cable and charger to another device and see if that device is charged.

To be more sure, use another replacement cable to connect your phone to the charger, then check again if the device is charging or not, is the battery in or not? If the cable is really the problem, then it is time to replace a new cable.

Restore factory settings

Restoring factory settings will help your device return to the factory state, like new, it will delete all your personal data, so make sure to back up all your important data. Most Android devices when encountering errors during use but cannot be fixed by normal methods, this operation will help you solve many problems.

Replace battery

Battery failure is also one of the common causes. If you have done all the above steps but it is not effective, it is likely that the battery of the device is damaged and needs to be replaced.

Some phones have removable batteries, you just need to go to the store and buy a new battery to replace. Some phones have a monolithic design, the battery is integrated into the device, you have to bring the phone to the store, or a reputable warranty center for the staff to check and replace the battery for you.

Replace the charging port or other components related to the power supply

This is the last way to save your phone, all you have to do is bring the device to a reputable repair or warranty center for the staff to check. If you are lucky, the error may be due to the charging port. Although the charging port is an internal component, it is only a contact component to transmit electricity. If there is a related error, you just need to replace it easily and the cost is not much.

More severe cases involve other components in the power supply, in which case the replacement cost will certainly be higher.
