[Solved] UMI Max just arrived, won't charge :(

Chavilela

\n\nHey everyone, I need some pretty serious help.

My UMI Max finally arrived today. What a beautiful phone it is ...
Played arround with it a little bit, installed some apps. Battery was almost at the end, so let's charge it?

It doesn't work. No sign of charging at all. Tried using a different charger with the UMI USB C cabe, no success. My only hope now is that it's the cable's fault. But I'm extremelly disappointed with UMI now ...

One quick note, I tried plugging the USB to Type C onto my PC and on the phone, and something weird happened...
The phone charging state switched on and off repeatedly, like really fast, the charging text and icon blinked every 0.3 seconds, which might point that it's the cable's fault.
I'll be going out to buy another cable, hopefully I can find one in the local stores of my city.

Please be the cable ...

If you guys have any idea that might help, please share them with me, thank you.

Hey guys, thanks for the help,

I was lucky since the problem was on the cable. After buying a brand new USB Type C cable, I could finally charge my phone.
Also the phone's working great from the days I've been using it, no issues at all, aside from the malfunctioning cable. Thank you UMI!
