The indicator is on but the phone is not charging. How to turn on the indicator light on Samsung phones

IN modern world A smartphone is an irreplaceable thing, so when your favorite gadget takes a long time to charge or does not turn on at all, this becomes a whole problem, especially if it is a new phone.

First of all, we think about how to charge our gadget, especially when we are in a hurry and are looking for the causes of problems in the phone, but before that we should carefully inspect the accompanying equipment:

• Socket - if the wiring is old or there are some other problems with electricity, then this may well explain why the gadget is sometimes charging or not;
• Charger - check its integrity, it may be damaged;
• Incompatibility of the charger with the gadget - if the inputs are similar, this does not mean that the charging device is suitable for both models of smartphones.

If you are sure that you do not have any of the above problems, you can move on to studying the phone itself. We will look at the most common reasons why the phone does not accept charge.

The gadget is charged only from the computer

When the phone is charged only from the computer, but the smartphone is turned on and working normally, it’s worth checking Charger. But if charging is ok, but the smartphone does not see it or writes that charging in progress, but in fact this is not so - a malfunction in the phone.

In some cases, flashing the gadget's firmware or replacing the input helps, but only a professional can do this after examining the device and identifying the problem.

What to do if the phone does not charge, but the charger is connected

It happens that the phone shows charging, but does not charge, and even after several hours of recharging, the battery remains at zero. Or, if you do not charge the phone for a long time, the battery does not accept a charge. In both cases there may be several reasons:

• The charger does not charge;
• The phone battery is faulty;
• There are many applications and other services open.

If the problem is with the charger, the gadget detects the charger, but due to technical faults it does not charge. This situation is probably known to iPhone owners, since frequent use the cable becomes faulty. Try replacing the wire, maybe that's the problem.

In the case when the problem lies in the battery, you will have to buy a new one or even contact a specialist, see in such smartphone models as Samsung Galaxy S6, LG Optimus Vu, HTC One X has a built-in battery, which means you can’t replace it yourself.

The last option is very rare, but still occurs, especially if you are the owner of a DNS or Fly brand smartphone. In this case, you just need to close all programs, in particular Wi-Fi, the Internet and your favorite games, and then leave your Android alone while it is charging. If the indicator shows that the charge is coming, you can congratulate yourself, you just fixed the problem.

Poor contact contacts

You are familiar with the situation when the phone is working and charging is in order, but for some reason the smartphone does not respond to the device when connected to the network. You don’t even know what to do anymore, since the phone doesn’t charge for a very long time, but the reason for this may be trivial.

From time to time, dust gets into a cell phone with a removable battery, especially for older Samsung models. If you don't clean the inner surface, dirt accumulates, creating a layer that prevents the contacts from connecting normally, which is why the phone won't charge. Try removing the battery, then clean it and inner side body using a cotton swab. Also pay attention to the “teeth”; if they are slightly bent, correct this using a match, but act carefully so as not to damage the contacts.

The phone does not charge from the charger

When the phone does not charge from the charger, the reason should be sought in the charger or in the gadget connector. IN in this case It’s very easy to find out what really doesn’t work, just connect your mobile phone to your PC or use a universal frog charger, but using it every day will be problematic, since you’ll have to turn off the phone every time and take out the battery. Another way to charge your phone from external battery, but this is also not an everyday option.

The smartphone is charging in the opposite direction

Not everyone knows why charging occurs reverse side, and at the same time the phone does not take charge, but, as it were, gives it away. Faced with such a situation, many are simply perplexed. The reason for this unusual phenomenon is simple - a failure in battery calibration, this happens from time to time with Lenovo phones, but do not panic, because the problem can be solved very quickly.

To eliminate the anomaly, you first need to discharge the battery to such an extent that the smartphone turns off on its own. After that, remove the battery for a couple of minutes and put it back into the phone. Connect the gadget to the charger, but do not turn it on while the charge is running.

The phone takes a very long time to charge

If your smartphone was charged all night, but was not fully charged or the readings were no more than 1 percent, then the problem lies in the battery. Of course, for the first time you can even charge the phone to 100 percent, but not only will the process take a lot of time, but the gadget will also be discharged in literally a couple of hours, if not earlier.

In this case, you have only one option - buy new battery continue to safely use your irreplaceable gadget.

You can figure out the problem yourself, but if you are unable to find out why the phone is not charging and you have tried almost all of the above methods, it is best to take your smartphone to a technician, because only a specialist will be able to determine the true cause of the malfunction.

• The phone stops charging before it is fully charged.
• The phone does not light up while charging led indicator charging.
• The phone is charged only in certain provisions or only in the hand.
• Your phone's battery life is shorter or shorter than expected.

Also, not all Samsungs support this mode when the screen is off and do not keep the indicator constantly on. In some cases, it may simply glow rather than flicker. Good luck.
