hey guys last night i somehow spilled beer on my phone but it was still working fine as my cousin called me and i was able to answer. but i have one question is why is it showing a red light instead of the orange or green light. btw the battery was drained all the way since i was not able to get to a charger since i did not go home. if i leave it on the charger will it charge? cuz i left it on the charger for 3 hours already and i still can not turn it on.
sorry if this is a noob question

Unfortunately it is a noob question you already know the answer to.
People here are good, but they can't resurrect a beer soaked phone.
Got lucky?

Well I dropped mine in about 3 feet of water thought for sure it was toast went and bought another from AT&T after a few weeks through a battery in and what ya know I now have 2 Tilts
well see what i figured was that the reason why my tilt wont charge is because the battery is at ZERO! no charge at all because before that i was able to turn it on and it would work i just wanna make sure but i guess ima just get a battery from ebay and see what happens

This past weekend had to run out to Chuck e Cheese for my daughter's second b-day and my Tilt wasn't charged so I figured hey I'll just use that nifty car charger I got with my case off eBay! Plugged it in and it fell into a thin slot in the center console and I just left it there for about a half hour. When I went to pick it up it was EXTREMELY hot to the touch! Got that feeling in the pit of my stomach and verified instantly that it was dead. Pulled the battery, plugged it into the wall charger and did everything I could think of but I couldn't even get a light to go on. Called AT&T and it was under warrantee so they sent me out a new one so problem solved right?
Well... I did have Dutty's 2k8 rom installed and I couldn't flash it back since it was dead so I'm a little worried. It was obviously a hardware issue cause by either a cheap car adaptor or the lack of air while it was charging but I'm afraid they'll get it working and see the new rom and say oops! Out of warrantee! Here's a $500 charge on your bill.
So I was just wondering if anyone's experienced anything like this and what you think my chances are of getting nailed by AT&T for something completely unrelated to the problem?
BTW I didn't mention this to them I just said I charged it overnight with the OEM Charger like always and it was just dead the next morning.
Thanks!
I still have the fried phone for a couple of days if anyone has any ideas...
Dont think you will have a problem. If its fried its fried.
Enjoy your new replacement and relax
good day fellow xda members, i just need advice regarding my note..
Situation:
1. The phone screen flickers and shuts down when using WIFI and listening to MUSIC at the same time.
2. If I use the phone for MUSIC ONLY, the phone doesn't turn off.
3, If I connect the phone to a wall charger, it doesn't turn off..
4.If I turn the phone on, the battery percentage is almost the same before it turned off.
additional info: the phone is 1 year old. and i reflashed it to FULL STOCK
My question now, is this a simple battery problem where i only need to replace the battery? Or the phone is short circuit? AFAIK. short circuit happens when the phone is submerged to water.
I'm asking this question because one store here sells genuine battery BUT they don't offer warranty... sick right??
any comment or suggestion??
UPDATE:: I recently got a new battery, its a genuine 2500 mah battery from Samsung and it costs around 1690 in Philippine peso or around $40 in USD....
and it magically cured all problems..
if you found this thread after google searching, I'm glad to help...
Hi, why did you mentioned water problem, did your phone came in contact with water. If so or if you think your phone got any humidity, try to remove it. There are some posts how to do it. 2. Try with another battery (your friends), see the problems remain or solved. 3. Try a good GB rom, stock or custom (before you buy a new battery).

thanks for posting.... and happy holidays man...
+1 for trying a new battery. Ask sorts of problems charging, dying, etc, was exactly one year old and only very slight bulge (have you checked yours?) And replacing with Anker 2700 mah from Amazon cured all.

It take around 7-8 hours per day. This happen 3 month ago. Please everyone who reading this, i hope my comment can help you to avoid battery spoil issue as me. Thank you. You are great.
How strange is this ... so Basically the stock battery that Samsung sells does not last more than a year ???
a lot of users who purchased it more than a year ago are having the same flickering issue ... that is sad.. Bad SAMSUNG

My phone started couple days ago. A year and two months old. Guess it's time to go buy a battery. Will update.
Edit: bought a new battery. Problem gone. Also enjoying renewed battery life.
Even mine was acting same.. exactly from a week now.. for one year old phone.. ordered a new battery in Samsung service center.
I bought my HTC one. 6 days now. well at first i was so impressed,
not until this morning i notice that the Blinkfeed light is not. in position its not blinking on the 2 dot circle that is supposed to be
and another thing is when i charge the phone the charger is heating so bad. luckily not the phone its only the charger and im worry about it.
Hi last night I went to plug in my bionic to same plug as always; same cable that came with the phone; and it sparked, burnt my hand, and smoke was coming from phone. Smelt the smell of burnt electronics. It turned on this morning though should i get it replaced? or what should i do? Thanks in advance.

you say it turned on, does that mean its functioning properly? try replacing the charger, maybe it just shorted out

Cant get data to engage at all and hardly any cell signal. It powers on and can use apps they connect to internet like Pandora but cant search Google or receive Google voice calls/text some times make out bound calls cant receive any incoming.
At first they went going to help me out at Verizon. Then i got on with the district manager and they are giving me a note 3 and a nexus 7 both with otter box cases, for note 3 also car dock and extended battery. :victory:
Also here is a image of my burnt fingers from this ordeal.

I was also but part of it was my hand getting stuck holding it due to prior nerve damage in my hand. I was using a 2.1 amp charger that came with phone.
Hello!
Well, I guess I'm the new (un)lucky owner of my stepfather's Xperia T since he decided Z3 suits him more (not that we are rich, he's just kinda shoppingholic or smth).
I replaced old HTC Wildfire S with it and I was fkin amazed. There was no root or tweak that could ever make that little HTC (who has supported me over the years even after falling in water and all other ****) be even a close match to my shiny new-old XPeria.
However, the phone keeps irritating me with it's charging problems.
I'm an electric engineering student and this crap sounds like connection problem (but I don't wanna admit it to myself), but I still hold your opinions to be very important since well....you guys know this phone through it's soul.
Here is the weird thing...
I got it with it's original charger while I still had a charger I used to charge my HTC. It was some old nokia cable and was charging HTC perfectly, always without a problem, but Xperia always seemed to have a bad connection with it. I tried it's original charger and almost the same. That was bearable until last few days, connection was starting to grow so weak, it took me like half an hour to make the damn phone charge. Worst thing, battery run dry, so can you imagine that feeling when you have to wait 5 seconds before the battery logo does it's animation before you can actually realize if your phone is charging or just "ate a spark".
I've searched on google and many people seem to be having similar, even though much worse problems (phone does not react to the charger at all) and I'm actually afraid that's where my dear Xperia is going.
Weird thing is when I visited my parents last week, I tried plugging it into my mother's charger (S4 charger) the phone started charging immediately, I tried rocking the charger a little left and right, and it didn't seem to distract it.
Tried friend's charger, same problems again!
Can't figure out what the problem might be...I thought it was the cable, then the port, now I don't know what to think of anymore.
Help please!
Thanks guys!
UPDATE:
OK, while I was writing the post and doing other stuff, the phone was charging, I disconnected it now to check for battery level, I succesfully turned it on (no more double red blinking) but the phone just showed PIN screen and Turning off.. note appeared. Which means after half an hour of charging, the battery is at the same level....?
Should I let it charge overnight?
I mean I don't feel comfortable doing it since I can't see the battery and my landlord has no tools in the whole apartment...Maybe the battery might be damaged...
Try your mother's USB cable with your recharger.
I guess it's your USB port that is dying.. .
PS now I know what's a stepfather.. LOL.. Thank you XDA (and thank you Google Translator)

Yeah, I was thinking of doing that, but it's going to be a problem talking her into it
Well, I'm glad you learnt it haha
Wohoo!
Successfully turned it on, after 20minutes of charging it's at 1% and hopefully it's gonna go up!
Oh! In the meantime the phone just turned off again showing empty battery while it was still charging! O.O
FU Sony. Telling my shoppingholic stepdad not to waste money on Z3. -.-
Try to clean the USB port with cotton and alcohol. Maybe it's only some dirt over the metallic contacts.

I'll try it, but still doesn't explain why the battery is still at minimum charge.
I left it to charge overnight, I'll tell you guys if things got better in the morning.
Good night and thanks for help!
Well, couldn't wait. Turned it on again. 32% as we speak.
Let's se what you've got for me this time Xperia...
By the way, I know the battery is most common problem on this cell, it kept restarting for my stepdad, he got the battery replaced already....
Well, fully charged today....who knows what the problem might have been...

So the battery is okay.
The problem could be: some dirt, a USB metallic pin bent or broken, the USB port entirely broken, or just an UFO that steals your energy only when you connect it to the recharger
