Is your Xiaomi mobile charging slow or intermittently? This error is mainly due to problems with the device's cable and charger. Although the terminal eventually charges, it is not recommended that it continue to operate in this way, as it may damage the battery. In this article I show you different solutions to recover the load of your terminal.
Clean the USB C port
If you have a Xiaomi mobile with a USB C port, clean it and remove dirt and dust. A piece of paper or a speck of dust is probably covering the pins on the connector. Therefore, when plugging in the charger, the output may not correctly detect the pins and not charge well. This can also happen with terminals that have a micro USB port.
To clean it, blow lightly a short distance from the connector. Then use a toothpick or a pin to remove any embedded dust or dirt. Be very careful, as you could scratch or break the pins.
Check your mobile cable or try a different cable
Check if the USB cable is in good condition . That it does not have any cuts and that the connections are good, without dirt or bumps. It is also important that you look at the ends of the cable, since they are usually the ones that get damaged the most. Also, check that the cable is the original one. Some mobiles do not support fast charging with third-party chargers.
If it still doesn't work, try a different cable, but don't change the charger. This way you can rule out if the fault is with the cable or the charger. I recommend that you use an original one, even if it is not from the same brand. For example, an original cable from your tablet or other mobile. Avoid using a third-party or non-original one, as they could also cause bugs.
Check the charger
If the cable isn't working or still isn't working properly, check the charger. Again, check the USB slot and that the plug is also in good condition and the connectors are not bent. If it does not work properly, try another charger, make sure it is of the same wattage and that it is an original charger.
You can also go for a higher watt charger to see if it charges faster. Of course, as long as your Xiaomi mobile supports that power.
Install Ampere to know the status of your battery
This app, which can be downloaded for free on Google Play, tells you what the health of the battery is. In addition, it gives you information on the load and the current state of the autonomy. Check which notice appears in the 'Health' section. If it appears as bad, the battery is probably causing the charging problems.
Through the app you can also check if the charger is plugged in correctly and if it is charging the terminal. In case this is not the case, I recommend using another charger.
If the terminal still has charging problems, you should take it to technical support. Perhaps the problem is due to some component. Or even by the charger itself, which is also guaranteed as an accessory. The technical service will check what happens to you and how it can be solved.
Keep these tips in mind
Some tips to avoid future problems with the battery and charging of your Xiaomi mobile.
- Do not use non-original chargers if you want the charging of your Xiaomi mobile to be correct. Use the original charger, the one that comes in the box. Either one from the same manufacturer or similar characteristics
- If the terminal charges with difficulty (only with the cable in one position, intermittently), it is best to disconnect the cable, since this way of charging it damages the battery.
- Keep the cable and the charger in good condition: make sure that it is not hit or that the cable does not lie on the ground.
- Do not connect the charger if your mobile is wet: it could affect the charge.
