If you’re having trouble getting your T-Mobile REVVL 4+ to charge, you may wonder if it’s a hardware or software problem and, most importantly, how you can fix it?
Smartphones have become an integral part of our lives, and the charging of smartphones has not evolved much.
This guide will show you how to fix your T-Mobile REVVL 4+ not charging. We will also show you how to solve this issue without data loss or risk.
Fix T-Mobile REVVL 4+ Charging Issue
You can use this list as a guide to finding the solution for your T-Mobile REVVL 4+’s Charging Problem.
Before we start, you should know that there are two ways to charge your smartphone. The first one is the standard charger and the second one is the fast charger.
We will also explain in detail troubleshooting methods for both.
This list is sorted with the common issues at the top.
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.
For the next troubleshooting step, You will need a spare charger and cable because we need to figure out if your charger is dead or the cable.
You can use the charger of any device, but you will need a cable with the same connector as your T-Mobile REVVL 4+.
Let’s start with the cable, plugin in your spare charging cable to your charger and your T-Mobile REVVL 4+.
If it charges, the cable is broken from all the twisting and other kinds of trauma; if it doesn’t, try to charge your phone with a spare charger and cable.
If your phone starts charging, your T-Mobile REVVL 4+’s charger is dead. You can use an old one, but it may not support fast charging.
If it overheats, check out Fix T-Mobile REVVL 4+ Overheating Issue.
Pro Tip: If you decide to buy a new charger or cable, I suggest you buy it from T-Mobile. If you buy from any other brand, the fast charging may not work.
Charge it while turned off
Now that we know your T-Mobile REVVL 4+’s Charger and USB cable are working fine. We can try this.
Turn off your device and plug in your Charger. Wait for a few seconds, and then you should see charging signs.
If your phone is charging while turned off, wait for it to charge completely, power it on, and finally try to charge it again. This also means that the problem is in the software of your phone.
You can go to settings and check for software updates, and if any are available, download and install them, it might fix your issue.
Did the update not fix the issue? Try the next fix.
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.
Charge your phone wirelessly
If you have a wireless charger, you should try charging with a wireless charger. It will help you to further drill down on the problem of a faulty USB socket/Charging Socket on your T-Mobile REVVL 4+.
T-Mobile Repair Center
If none of the above solutions worked, it’s time to visit your neared T-Mobile Repair Center. T-Mobile technicians will be able to pinpoint the problem and fix it. In addition, if your phone is under warranty, it will be repaired for free.

My Revv 4 is having this issue after only 6 months of careful use. I have been a Metro customer for five years, and have multiple lines with Metro. I took my phone to the store where I purchased it six months ago. The representative checked the port, blew it out with air, and tried to charge on store charger. She agreed it was not working and gave me the Metro Ins. (which I have) phone number, and told me to fill out a claims form on Fastclaims.com. I immediately did so, and my claim was rejected. The Fastclaim rep told me they didn’t cover mechanical issues. I asked her if I were to break my phone right now, and file a claim, it would be covered? She said yes, and then referred me back to Metro. Three representatives, a supervisor, and hours later, I was informed that, in order to replace my phone, I would need to pay a SIXTY dollar deductible! I have tried to trade this phone in for an upgrade, and it has ZERO trade-in value. It only cost about $100 BRAND NEW. I have been paying insurance on this line and others for total of over $250 this year alone. I even told the supervisor that I would accept an inferior phone (I think I already have it). They refused to make any accommodations or to replace or exchange my phone. This is my very first claim, as I have never damaged or broken a phone. I am outraged, and I let them know it. Metro is a service that is lower cost for those who cannot afford the more “prominent” phone companies. They are absolutely RIPPING OFF individuals who already face financial challenges and obstacles. Our phone might be one of the only connections we have to others. I am going with a different company, and my family and close friends are as well. I cannot believe the level of unprofessionalism and common decency with this company. I thought Sprint was bad!!!!! Just WOW.
