PRoblem with Power Connector...

So my power connector has a problem. I can't get it to reliably connect. Just a little jostling causes it to loose connection. If this happens while I sleep, the power drains completely and my alarm doesn't go off.
Any idea how to fix this?
I'm pretty sure the issue is not with my wires because I've tried several - and tried the wires on several devices and they work fine.

It's the piece of (excuse my French)..........sh*t USB port on the phone. Mine has come loose too. Just got my warranty replacement and it freezes and the colors are off (like the whites are actually a light yellow.....wasn't like that on my old phone)

very true, you can attempt to clean out the usb port on your phone in hopes this will fix your issue. otherwise get ready to spend $5-10 on ebay and pick up a new port, of course you will have to solder this in so yeah, its a fun job

Mine has been this way since the day I got it. I actually just bought some Samsung micro-USB cables off Amazon that have a solid fit inside the phone, wonderful cables! Can't beat the price of them either.

Quick charge or not?

So, I had to change my original Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime charger 'cause I lost it, and I went for AUKEY quick charger -> https://www.amazon.it/AUKEY-Caricabatterie-Caricatore-Samsung-iPhone/dp/B01AHYR04M, tempted by the possibility of charging my phone in less than the usual 2 hours.
However, I'm realizing now I probably did a bad move, since I'm reading many posts about how using a quick charger can reduce your battery life on the long run, some state they've used quick charge from the beginning (I mean right after they bought their phone) and they had to change battery or phone after one year and half more or less, not even able to reach more than 2 years, whereas some other claim they've always used a normal charger and their battery is as still good as the "old" times.
I'm thinking about sending the charger back and take a normal one, what's your opinion about it? Should I go for a charger with 2.0A in output?

R4P doesn't have Quick Charge compatibility in any case. It'd probably overheat like crazy even if it did.

Sure it has...

... see that circle around the thunderbolt icon? That means fast charging, when I charge the phone with a non quick charger, it only appears the thunderbolt. And it's also stated in the block screen, "Fast charging".

USB Port issue

Bought this phone as a secondary phone 8 month ago,,
And the USB Port has loosen up...
I bought the phone unofficially so no official service will offer service for me,
Can't I just change the USB C port to a new one?
All the available USB Logic board here are without the fast charging IC

I had this phone and swapped THREE charging boards. It keeps having the same issue and nothing will work. Tried different chargers too. I think this is just a flaw in the design of charging board. I unfortunately had to recycle the device.

The replacement charging board I received was different from the original.
And this is how I charged phone overnight for the contact with the board to keep charging the phone, otherwise it wouldn't charge at all even if the cable was jammed all the way in.

The available charging board here isn't good quality by looking,
I didn't opened the phone yet and I guess it's the USB female socket's issue, will changing this help a bit?
Sent from my Xperia 1 II using XDA Labs

Fire HD 10 2019 (Maverick) - Schematic diagrams ?

Is anyone aware of the existence of those ?
Mid July, the tablet just froze, and I had to hold the power button for 40 secs to get it to shutdown.
Upon boot, I got stuck on the Amazon logo. So I tried wiping the entire thing using the recovery menu, with multiple mounting errors, and the process failed.
I didn't think much of it at the time, since I still had access to the recovery menu.
But now, it won't even go there, the screen stays black.
I opened the tablet, I know for a fact that the battery have voltage, and pressing the power button still do something since I'm able to read voltage at different test point that doesn't show activity prior to pressing it.
Also, using a USB charger, I get the 5V in, and the battery do charge, but very slowly.
At this point, the thing is a dead weight and I'm willing to use it for testing purposes.
THanks !

You must show the motherboard of your Fire tablet.

Here's the requested pictures.
Do I need to remove the heatshield to get the chips information also ?

Charging ic problem ... check charging ic if temperature is too high then try to clean and reball ic..

bypass battery and run directly using charger

I've used this phone for a very long time now, since 2018
My current use case is using it as a hotspot and running some server and torrent apps on the phone, it works well, 24x7, connected to the charger all the time.
There are times when the battery does not charge for some reason and the phone needs to be restarted after the battery fully drains, especially when dowloading torrents.
I remember an older phone I had long ago, Lenovo Zuk Z2 plus, it used to work without the battery connected, directly connected to the charger.
I have a inverter in place so I don't really need the battery in the phone for my use case, I would like to use the phone like a computer connected to the charger 24x7, I was wondering if anyone knows if the Nokia 6.1 plus would work this way i.e without the battery connected?
I would like to save myself the trouble of opening it and disconnecting the battery just to find out.
Thanks.

anyone?

So, I opened the phone and disconnected the battery...
and...
It does not boot up without the battery connected with the phone connected to the charger.
Probably a jumper is required, anyone know how?

So, I visited a mobile repair technician, and
He tried direct soldering to the battery connector port, which didnt work
He removed the strip from the battery and connected the charging port to it and it didnt work
He finally, put it all ack together and removed the IC on the charging board, that controls the battery charging, now the battery is always charged at 100%
Just thought I'd share with the community
Ps- What he didn't try was a using a diode, but he said that wouldn't work either
