Charging issue after trying magnetic cable wrongly

Jahirul — Mon, 24 Aug 2015 03:12:00 GMT

The problem caused by a mistake done by the shop girl where i went to buy the magnetic cable. She plug it wrongly and then my phone dead for 15 minutes!

And now my battery fluctuate at 86-90%.. Get too hot if i keep it plugged to charger thereafter...

The main reason i switched to Sony was long battery life... What can i do now?

Practically impossible to connect magnetic charger in a wrong direction, it won't even fit. Try Uliwooly's suggestion.

That's not a dock.. It was a USB cable magnetic charger. I guess that's from 3rd party..

The phone went dead immidiately in front of my eyes when she plugged it that way.. Then she managed to restart after charging 5 mins by normal charger... Battery level went down to 49% from my initial 53% even with the charger on.

I didn't have this problems earlier!

Some other forum post in this website says they were unable to rectify the issues even after reset.

@Jahirul

Even 3rd party magnetic chargers have a definite orientation and can't be plugged in opposite way, unless it's a total crap cable made in-house without even copying the standard specs from docks.

@ Quester

I appriciate you trying to help, but unfortunately that doesn't address my issue. And the cable can be connected wrongly! It's a simple upside-down problem, a lot other peoples encountered same issue..

Anyways, thanks for your kind advice.

Iam using 3Rd party usb magnetic charger adapter which can b attached at the normal Sony charger cable. And yes it wil not fit upside down way but the contact terminals gets connected in wrong way ..

I did 1 time connected upside down wrongly but the charging didn't turned on and there was no response and it's charging when connected in the right way.

Did u check offline charging?? Turn off the phone and connect to original charger and try charging it.. Try waiting for 30min and If working then turn on d phone nd check it's charging normally.

I think u need to reset if problem persists
