Restart your Phone

A simple solution such as restarting the phone works most of the time, and most importantly, it does not take much effort to try.

Try to restart the phone to check if it charges. If it didn’t work, then move to the next solution.

Check your Charger and the Cable

The three components in charging your phone are the charger, the cable, and your phone. We need to figure out which of these is responsible for the charging issue. So we will start checking the charger and the cable.

But before we proceed further, I want you to check the following-

  • Check if the charger is powered on?
  • Try to plug the charger into a different socket.
  • Disconnect the cable from the charger and plug it again

You may have already tried the steps above; I included them because people often overlook them in a hurry.

You can use the charger of any device, but you will need a cable with the same connector as your Spice Mi-356 Smart Flo Mettle 3.5X.

Let’s start with the cable, plugin in your spare charging cable to your charger and your Spice Mi-356 Smart Flo Mettle 3.5X.

Clean charging port

Charging Port is something that we do not care about. Even if we clean our phone, we only clean the Screen and the Back no one cleans the charging port.

Please look at your charging port; it should look something like this. If it doesn’t, I guess something is stuck in there.

To remove it, we need to use non-conductive material so that we don’t have a risk of sorting your phone.

I suggest you use a toothpick, gently remove the debris stuck in the charging port, and then plugin in your phone to check if it charges.
