Won't Charge

[EasonIDontKnowAnything]

Now my ZTE Blade Q1 has been doing fine for the past year until a few months ago... it wouldn't charge.. I would have to take out the battery and stick it into those things u plug into the wall. I don't know what they're called. But then I found out later that it COULD charge but you had to hold the wire at a specific angle for it to charge. But then after a few days it would just stay at 0% charging when I plug in it in. Or 48% if I started charging on 48%. Anyone help?

Shitty cable, get another one

 

regarding the percentage, sounds like the battery

Posibilities:

 

1. Bad Cable

2. Bad Battery

3. Possibly damaged port on phone

Buy a legit cable, from a real store, none of this ebay bullshit.

I bought some apple ones for cheap, and they didnt do shit.

I was already guessing either it's the battery or the port. My dad said he would just buy another battery for convenience , so that when Battery #1 runs out of battery we can use Battery #2 and let Battery #1 Charge on the "universal battery charger"

The percentage thing only happens when charging trough cable. And the cable I use came with the phone. Should I buy another one then?

Might as well try it. If not, then maybe get a new battery for it

How old is the phone in question? If more than 2 or 3 years then the battery has had it. Most phone battery at least in my experience wont last past 3 years.

Oh, then you do have an issue. A battery should be able to last longer than a year. I once had a phone that I had to wrap the charging cord around it to keep the charger at the right contact point for it to charge. I wonder if the charging port is bad. 

 

If anything try a new battery. If that doesnt work, then you might consider seeing about getting the charging port replaced.

Yeah but the problem is I don't wanna sped too much on this phone , not only is the camera's color correction terrible (idk if thats what you call it) the available space for the user is just 2GB. I did buy a 16GB SD Card and the phone knows its there but I don't know how to make it as my storage. And I bought the phone for RM150 , it was an offer. So basically not would the battery basically cost another one of this phone , and repairing the charger port might even be more expensive.

Sounds like its time for an upgrade.
