I have been using this phone fore almost 8 months and I haven't encountered this charging issue but right now I'm really worried that this issue might effect my phone. So is this charging issue happened to all of Poco f2 pro users or just a small number of them?

DanishBeacon, 30 May 2021I had the same issue just a week ago. The phone just sudden... moreMine had the same loose connection problem that prevented charging but as I've said it's now fixed. I'm not happy with Xiaomi's deteriorating quality control. And it's not only hardware but software issues as well. Android 11 on the Poco F2 Pro just ruined the all screen beauty of the Poco for me. I bought it because it's really a gorgeous edge to edge display with no selfie camera hole and you can hide both the status bar at the top and the navigation bar at the bottom in Android 10. It looked really beautiful and futuristic. After the Android 11 update, everything is ruined. You can no longer hide both the status bar at the top, and the navigation bar at the bottom. There's always a huge, ugly center bar at the bottom, and the status bar at the top can no longer be hidden using ADB commands and worse, gesture navigation is dysfunctional with third-party launchers. None of these issues are present in Samsung's Android 11 implementation. That is, Samsung still accepts ADB commands to hide both the status and navigation bar in Android 11 and gestures work with third party launchers and no chopped off bottom screen or ugly bottom center bar. So for me, no, I'm not buying another Xiaomi phone. Not until Xiaomi corrects the horrendous Android 11 update or at least allows users to rollback to Android 10, which again, Xiaomi doesn't allow even with an already unlocked bootloader. Besides, the lack of encryption in microsd cards in Xiaomi phones which allow them, plus restrictions in rollback despite unlocked bootloader only confirms that Xiaomi may have lingering security issues. Can never fully trust the brand despite being a long time fan and user of Xiaomi devices.

DanishBeacon, 30 May 2021Data cable from motherboard to secondary bord get loose. Ju... moreYes, mine had this charging problem and it had be opened to get fixed. Still, for a one year old phone at this price level, this quality issue is unacceptable. Now my phone looks ugly with all the glue marks at the back after the repair. It can be hidden with the casing though, but Android 11 on the Poco F2 Pro is just buggy and ugly. The bottom portion of the screen gets chopped off and you can't get rid of that thick, boldface and long stupid white/black/gray bar at the center bottom of the screen in full screen mode. And gesture navigation sucks. It doesn't work with thitd party launchers like Nova launcher. Horrible update. My Samsung devices (phone and tablet) don't have the same Android 11 display and gesture navigation issues with third-party launchers. With my Samsung phone and tablet, the bottom portion of apps don't get chopped off and you can banish that stupid bottom center bar forever. No issues at all with gesture navigation in third party launchers in Samsung's Android 11 implementation. Not like the horrendous mess that you can find in Xiaomi's Android 11 implementations across its phones, even flagship ones.

Demtrey, 12 May 2021Hey guys . Recently I have seen some people complaining say... moreData cable from motherboard to secondary bord get loose. Just fixed this last week with 3-4 kayers of electric tape on top of the connectors on each side to keep them firmly attached. All is good again.
Don't know how many units got this problem. Mine was 8-9 months old when it happened.
Not happy that it did. This should not be happening on a almost new device.

I had the same issue just a week ago. The phone just suddenly stopped charging. It charged if i twisted device but again stopped afterwards.
There ia an easy fix to this problem I found on YouTube.
Its simply the flat datacable that connects motherboard with the secondary board that gets loose.
3-4 layers of electic tape on top of the each connector has solved this problem for me.
I agree that this is a quality issue and I am disappointed as well but it's a easy fix and I'm still happy for my F2pro.

Been using this since Aug2020. MIUI isn't a rom for long term usage. You definitely need to format as some lags can be noticed and the bugs take insanely 2months to get a word from the latest patch. You're not even sure if they fix it. I flashed derpfest rom this May and I can finally feel that SD865 chipset.

Nonobody, 19 Apr 2021Should i buy this phone? I mainly used my phone for reading... moreThis phone has durability issues. I've had this phone for about a year now and it has suddenly stopped charging. Searched for YouTube for a solution and found out twisting the body resumes charging but not for long as a slight movement can stop the charging again (possibly poor soldering). Xiaomi clearly has quality and durability issues. For 5 years, I've been defending it as a quality product and would easily dismiss other people's experience as pure bad luck. However, for a phone at this price level, this kind of sloppy quality control is simply unacceptable. I've had six other midrange and even entry level Xiaomi phones that cost half and even 1/4 the price of this phone and most of them managed 3 years before experiencing charging problems. Avoid buying this phone or any Xiaomi phone for that matter if the seller doesn't offer you a reliable return policy or warranty against defects in material and workmanship. I'm out of luck because it only has 1 year warranty and it broke just after a year. So long Xiaomi, it was nice being my preferred phone of choice for the past 5 years but with 3 out of 8 Xiaomi phones in my household malfunctioning within a year to a year and a half with clear signs of defects in material and workmanship, this third and last one (my most expensive Xiaomi purchase since I've got the 256GB Poco F2 Pro), is more than enough for me to conclude you have gone from good to worst and so I'm now avoiding you like the plague.
