How to Fix an Android That Only Charges When OFF but won’t Charge When ON

I’ve experienced this issue before and I noticed a lot of
people are also having the same issue and perhaps you have ask the question
over again that why does my phone only charge when off? Strange I guess; the
truth is, to every android phone problem, there is always a solution.

There are few reasons why your smartphone refuse to charge while
turned on but charges while turned off which includes; outdated software’s, bent
pin (pin sometimes get bent to a different position that makes charging a
hassle, and changes how the phone is recognized if at all. Because of that, you
can only charge the phone when it’s off
.)
how to fix an android that charges only when off
Solution1:
1. Power off your phone, and wait for like fifteen seconds
before you start getting setup to fix the issue
2. Examine the port carefully to see where the pin is bent
3. Straighten out the pin carefully to avoid causing any
damage to it.
4. Once the pin is fixed properly, try to charge it when
turn on and see the difference.
Solution 2:
1. Use different USB cable and charger to power up your
device when turn on. Sometimes, cable tend to be incompatible with some phones with
time.
2. Remove/Refresh your battery: if your smartphone
have a removable battery, I suggest you remove it completely and use another
different battery compatible with your smart phone. Battery incompatibility
sometimes causes charging distortion.
3. Make sure Your Android software is up to date
otherwise search for an update for your device and get it updated. System crashes
when they are out dated.
4. Factory reset your Phone: When all the above fails,
then you will have to do the needful by factory resetting your phone.

  1. I once experience this type of problem on my old foolish injoo phone and even the company couldn't solve the problem. I tried all i could but no solution. Eventually, the battery began to swell up until I finally gave it up.

    It seems InnJoo is finally dead in Nigeria
