- If there is a foreign object stuck inside the USB port or the cable, the device’s safeguard may shut off charging for its protection.
With a soft brush, remove the foreign object and try charging again. - For wireless charging, if there is a foreign object located between the device and the charger, the charging may be slowed.
Remove the foreign object and try charging again. - If there is any moisture detected inside the USB port or the cable, the device’s safeguard will notify you that moisture is detected and will shut off charging.
-Try again after the moisture is removed.
If moisture is detected (water drop icon), unplug the charger from your device.
Charging with moisture can lead to USB port corrosion and damage to the device.
Will the phone turn on after connecting the charger
If the battery is completely depleted, wait until it is 1% charge before turning it on
If the battery is completely depleted, the power will not turn on immediately even if the charger is connected.
Let it charge for a few minutes, and let it reach 1%, before turning it on.

Did it stop charging
Both the device and the charger can rise in temperature while charging.
This is completely normal and will not affect the device’s lifespan or performance, but if the temperature reaches beyond/below a certain level, the device’s safeguard may shut off charging for its protection.
Did you use the phone while charging

Device overheating while wireless charging
- Check for any foreign metallic or magnetic objects located between the device and the charger, remove the object, and separate the device from the charger.
- Resume charging once the device has cooled down.
