I plugged my phone up to three different chargers still no charge
I get a lot of customers come into my shop with this phone model and complaining about charging issues. Im afraid the charger itself is not the problem. The charging port on the motherboard needs to be replaced, which does require soldering, common issue with this phone model
when phone is not charging there are few steps you can try - check the power outlet and charger connection if charger is not broken than press the power key and hold for 1 min than restart the phone and plug the charger see if this work
i figured out how to make the “ZTE zmax z970” charge. with the charging problem its sorta a simple fix. simply plug the charger into your zte zmax and wrap the chargeing cord around the phone upwards keeping a tight grip around the phones body. the phone will then charge…i know this because i have one and understand the charging struggle.
Mine wouldnt charge in the USB port of my PC - wall or car was fine - but i noticed when I plugged it in to the port - a menu appeared on my phone where the first choice was to “Charge Only” and that was what I had kept selecting -the second choice was “install driver: once I selected that it was fine - its charging now
The phone has overheated. Let it cool and plug it back in and it will charge.
Ive had the same problem with my z970. Actually i had the same problem with my first zte phone(z790) also.. With my current phone(z970) I find the problem. is complicated.. If i try a brand new charging cable, it charges fine for a while.. then after a few days or weeks, it wont charge anymore.. I have discovered recently that the outlets in my bedroom wont charge the phone at all, but everything else works fine on that outlet. I can charge it fine in the living room with the same cable. I found a work around that keeps me functioning.. I have a small battery storage supply i bought on amazon for about $20. It charges my phone just fine.. So I just charge it up daily, and then charge my phone with it. I get about 3 charges from it, before it needs more juice.. This has worked fine for several months now.. I hope this helps you.. The Zte Z970 really is a great phone.. I have no idea why they seem to have charging trouble. Maybe they dont.. maybe we just got lucky?
Quick charge needs a cable that can handle the amps. The thicker the wire more current to flow. I have an AXON-7 the cable included supports quick charge 3 and for my girlfriend’s zmax pro the cable makes the difference! Not sure if she has the original cable if she does then they should of made them to handle that current….
I just had this problem with my ZTE …the USB cable would charge my Doro phone but not my ZTE. When the battery got too low…phone turned itself off and wouldn’t turn back on…or charge in the off position. FIRST THING I TRIED WORKED…SIMPLE FIX… It seems the little silver tab inside the phone charge port gets bent down some after continual use and doesn’t connect well with USB cord… TO FIX — TURN OFF PHONE…TAKE OUT BATTERY…USE SOMETHING SMALL I used the tip of a knife…TO VERY CAREFULLY LIFT THE SILVER TAB IN THE CHARGE PORT…SLOWLY BENDING IT UP UNTIL IT STANDS FIRMLY IN MIDDLE OF PORT…Put Cover back on … plugged in …and…. IT WORKED… IT IS CHARGING NOW…SIMPLE!!!
You can plug in your charger into your phone and then prop up the plugin but leave your phone on the table. It starts charging and if that doesn’t work then that means that your charger is too weak and you need a stronger one that has more amps.
My phone was working fine then all a sudden it just shut off and wont come back on what do I do because I tried holding the power button and the volume buttons but nothing happens
My phone is alright. It’s my charger though, I have plugged my phone into other chargers and they worked. So I think my charger is broken. If I put my phone and the charger in a certain place it chargers but it’s very hard to find “that certain” place. What should I do?
Read somewhere here to hold start button for a minute and IT wORKED. Thanks so much!
Mine overheated and stopped charging yesterday, it froze on the job this past winter, so I had charging problems then, the solution for me, after investing in a 10ft long corded charger, the solution has been holding the power button and shaking my phone…it would come on after a few seconds when I did this. I had been doing this since about January 2018…but yesterday it overheated powered down to zero and hasn’t recovered…pray for me Achyam BARAKATHA YAHAWAH BARAKTHA YAHAWASHI!!!
there could be a number of reasons why give your phone a complete once over to see if it is fictionalize if not take it to a phone store they charge for a small fee.
