okay, i’ve just stumbled upon this and have my own situation. i’ve had mine for 6 months, it’s a promising phone that falls short with very unreliable performance. it’s a strong 5/10 in my book, which is still pretty good for its current price. the UI tends to be the largest issue for this phone sadly, quite glitchy and unstable.
ON TO MY PROBLEM
i recently had the phone just turn off, and after reviving the phone and experimenting i’ve come to a conclusion. it’s a design flaw and your XA2 may be completely broken. the back as we all know is simply a thin plastic back, and directly under that is a weak shield covering the motherboard. to the right and under the finger sensor are what i would consider the most important parts, and due to the rounded back it leaves some room for the back plate to be bent inward, therefore pushing the ‘actual’ shield of the motherboard into the components. and when you push metal onto something sensitive like a motherboard covered in exposed components... well, that’s it. i don’t know if everyone has this same story, but if you dropped it, if you may have applied pressure at some point, or sat on your phone that could mean you’ve damaged the hardware. it’s totally possible that there are other reasons for failure, including an unauthorised charger. but in my case this is what seemed to kill the phones power everytime i tested it. any pressure put on the mentioned area could cause major malfunctions and ultimately caused my phone to die completely. anyway, i doubt this helped in any meaningful way. i do however think this might shed some more light on some more possible reasons that the XA2 has failed on a number of people.
