My battery died last night and i charged the phone up and now the phone will not turn on anymore. Anyone have any ideas cause i'm completely out of them???
have you tried takin git out an putting in the phone again?
Yup. I dunno what is going on. I was using sony's cable to charge the thing and the power button was lit up red and now i switched to a different cable and the power button doesn't turn red anymore but the indicator lights are flashing like it doesn't have enough power to start. It may just be dead and sony's cable just stopped working and never charged the thing
Nope that isn't it... it just won't power on for some reason. i hope someone has an idea as to what is going on because i don't
I had a similar problem and had to leave it plugged in for at least 10 mins before the LEDs indicated it was charging.
THANK THE LORD THANK THE LORD. I was right. The crap cable sony uses just didn't charge the phone at all. Now that i switched i was able to turn the phone on again.
Try hard reseting the device while it is powered, might do something if its a software issue.
battery stone dead~won't recharge
I have the same problem. I don't believe ti has anything to do with the cable. The first time it suddenly came to life after a day or two fo being dead, but this time so far it is still in a coma. It did briefly awaken when connected to the pc, but it kept blacking out, and now it's completely gone again.
Could it be that it is not set to power off until the battery is completely stone dead, and therefore it won't recharge?
I think you are absolutely right. I don't believe it allows you to charge it until it is turned on. So try and plug it for like 15mins and try and power it on. Let us know if it works
This sounds like what I have seen on more than one device. If you let the battery go completely dead it will not take a charge from a USB cable to a PC or hub, even if it was a powered hub. We had some old HTCs that would only take a charge from a transformer when the battery had been fully depleted. It was like the USB to PC or hub did not give it enough amps or watts to turn it on and start charging.

Came accross this also in the Kaiser forums - think it has something to do with the battery being absolutely drained, so much that there isn't enough power to switch the current to the battery again.
Never happened to me, so never quite figured it out. But the Kaiser forum had a lot of discussion (and solutions I think) on this. (Xperia has HTC involvement..or so it's rumoured).

yep... I have had that happened to my blackjack 2 a couple times too. everytime I had to connect it to the charger for like 10 15mins before it can turn on again... plugging it to the pc/hub never work.... also happened once to my iphone as well
Hey I just ran into this problem today.
Turns out it was activesync messing with the phone
Ended the mobile device center process in task manager and phone went back to normal.
EDIT: Ok maybe its not back to normal. But it was definitely caused by activesync...
EDIT2: Back to normal now... Had to plug in the wall charger. After a minute the charging lights flashed and i was able to turn it on.
Checking battery status, and its in the red.. I guess the activesync was just a coincidence.
But wow, I left the thing plugged into my computer overnight to charge, and apparently it drained more than it charged?
There is defiantly something extra going on with the Xperia. While other devices I’ve seen fully drained refuse to start charging again from a USB to PC cable and even some power outlet charges. My Xperia is also doing as Nipperos. With an almost full charge I plugged it into the USB to PC cable and the icon went to the little plug and when I clicked on it the status said that it is was charging but when I got ready to leave for the day it had drained down one red bar. It was also very warm. With this, the $800 price tag and the random crashing made worse by the incredibly poor location of the reset button and made even worse by the incredibly poor design of the battery cover. Really, what is the proper way to get the thing off without breaking it? I’m fighting the urge to return it.
Any word on a new firmware?

I've noticed this too... My phone will be on full charge, i connect it to my PC to install a software, then i check one bar's gone... it drains more than it charges...
my x1 did this today. my buddy has a verizon htc phone and let me use hus htc wall charger and it did the trick...
my x1 is a x1i so i dont know if the US. plugs or what dont agree with the phone. but out of 6 cables and chargers only 2 will charge the phone from a dead battery the other 4 would only charge after it was on.
so my best solution for you all is to find yourself a htc wall charger and let it charger for 20 mins before trying to turn it on.
and of course theres htc involvment on the x1. look in the windows folder. all drivers are HTCxxx.dll the comm manager is htc. theres a forum here the htc developers site. this isnt a site for samsungs and other makers. this is a site for htc devices. if it wasnt a htc device it wouldnt be here.
My experience
I had a similar experience while on a trip to Korea. I didn't foresee that a 200mA difference in the current output of a wall socket charger will cause me so much pain.
I had always been able to charge the X1 with my Jabra headset's wall socket charger, hence I brought it on my trip. Not being mindful of the ratings, it can only supply 500mA, which is different from the X1's charger, 700mA. I was using it happily on a bus, happily keeping it alive with a solar USB charger (till it ran out of juice too). A while later, playing with the GPS I noticed my battery power dropped to 20% (2 bar) so I pressed the power button to conserve energy.
Unknowingly, the battery kept draining and the next time I wanted to turn it on I couldn't. The top 2 LEDs gave me 3 red blinks. I thought, "ok, so I just go back to the hotel to charge it with my Jabra charger."
When I tried that, I noticed that the power button gave a constant red LED and the battery did not charge. Taking out the battery and putting it back, I noticed the power LED went off (which indicates it was going to charge) but came back out again. It never charged.
Back home, after using the supplied SE charger, the power LED went off and never came back. I tried to turn on the X1 after 15mins and it powered up, showing the usual charging LED cycles.
Lesson Learnt. Always use original accessories.
Same problem here....
I knew about problem charging totally dead battery with wall plug-in (from previous HTC). Totally dead battery was not possible to charge via USB (from PC). But I have bought xperia via ebay and didn't know the wall charger is not original SE charger... Hope to work with previous HTC charger
Tx for coming to the idea
Just happened to me :S
I had used it all day and Wifi was turned on so obviously battery was almost dead. To save battery I turned off the Xperia.
When I tried to turn it on again it wouldnt and so I connected it to the pc.
That didnt work out so I connected it to the standard charger but that also didnt work. Right now my Xperia X1 is lying unplugged on the table because someone said you should leave it unplugged for a couple of minutes.
Hopefully it will work, I only have had it for 3 days :´(
Also hope this doesnt happen everytime your battery is drained because that would be annoying as hell.
--Edit--
Ok so what I did was I removed the battery and plugged it back in. This worked and I managed to turn it on and right now its charging.
Though when I try to go to sleep mode it turns the display on again after about 3 seconds and does what I am guessing is a low battery beep (Sorry windowsmobile noob here) but then stops instantly, which is pretty stange.
ok anyone know a way to increase the power wattage from your pc to the usb device? (sounds dangerous i know), but there must be someone who has had a similar prob and was able to fix with a bit of tweaking....ill google and come back with any results
okay...i had similar problem today morning..it wudnt start.
so i left it charging for ten minutes...and now it has turned on finally.
i think the battery goes completely dead.
Recently my X1 cannot be charged with USB cable through wall outlet & even car charger , but able to charge with USB cable through PC.
Anyone do encounter the same problem?
Well that's a strange one - how long was it connected to the wall?
Without getting into the discussion about volts and amps provided, and amps drawn by the phone, any method should charge.
In terms of speed, I would think the wall would charge fastest (see above), and the USB slowest.
Did the phone show on the top bar, the charging icon when attached to the wall? Or after a period of time there was no increment in the % charge showing??
If the battery was down to 0%, you probably wouldn't see an immediate increase in the % charge. The % charge is orientative, especially at both ends of the scale.

I do agree with you. Charging with wall outlet is faster. Therefore, normally I'm charging my X1 with wall outlet, unless in office, will use PC USB.
Top bar never show charging icon, but once I charge it with PC USB, the charging icon show up immediately.
It seems like no power for the USB when connected to the wall outlet. I've tested with battery removed, plugged in USB cable connected to wall outlet, there is no charging illumination light. I cannot power on it.
I tried to recall, it happened after I used a USB charger for my MP3 player. The next day, when I tried to charge with car charger. To my surprise, the USB connection notification showed up (I do remember, while charging with wall outlet or car charger, it will never prompt me for USB connection).
I don't think, it is the ROM issue. Try a few ROM still having the same problem.
From now, I got to live with PC USB :|
X1 Charging problem
I have same problem. I can not charge via both USB-PC and Wall. In order to charge the phone, I have to switch it off and then charge it.
This happened after I used CHEAP car charger from dealexteme.com
Now everytime I want to charge my phone, I have to switch it off.

let's me try with power off charging with wall outlet
well thats why se said USE only original accessories...you need to change the power ic on the board.

will the SE service centre entertain changing 'power ic'?
make sure your charger have an out put minimum is 1.Ah ,if lest than that it will not work , that is the troublem

I'm using the original SE charger!? I would not think the problem with the charger, but my X1 was screwed by the incompatible MP3 USB charger
Yep same with me, not sure why mine started doing that though, I never got used a cheap charger. Maybe its the rom... I am trying a new one now.

it's not caused by the ROM, I'm very sure. I've installed different ROM. The problem still exist.
I am having a similar problem. When the phone completely discharges , i am unable to charge it with any power adapter or even car charger. I have to initially charge the phone using a PC , then after the power is around 15% , then the phone gets charged with a normal adapter.. any suggestions??
same problem. It happends when the battery is completely discharged.
what I do is use a charger w/ low amp rating (.1) and plug it in for at least 10-20min. Give it some time, it will start charging after a while (indicated by the blinking lights). After that, you can turn it on and charge it normally
I had a similar problem twice.Both times I solved it by replacing the charger.
the same happen to me and i have another issue
my xperia doesnt work as usb mass storage!!!
the solution was buying another charger but..the usb mass storage issue still not working as a flash drive!!

It works with Z1 too. Thanks a lot!
I guess something goes wrong with battery controller
Here's an interesting discovery - would be interested to know if anyone else has the same issue.
Basically, my old WM6.5 phone (Touch Pro) used to take charge from a powered USB socket, even when the computer was turned off.
Plugging the HD7 into the same USB socket, and the phone won't charge. That's fine, I can understand there may be valid reasons for it.
What's *really* interesting is that if I leave the phone plugged into this powered down PC overnight, the battery is pretty much dead in the morning. Compare this to leaving the phone unplugged completely, and I'd generally see 15% battery usage overnight.
The solution is pretty simple - don't leave the phone plugged into this USB socket, but it seems odd.
Any chance someone else can try this?
Is the Zune client on your pc open because my phone will not charge with zune open
but once i exit out of zune on the pc it charges fine...
ive lost my charger and too lazy and cheap to buy a new one so im just using the pc to do it....
no - the PC is actually powered down. However, with soft power switches, the USB port stilll can get power, as proven by my ability to charge my Touch Pro from USB when the PC's off.
I'm not sure what could be causing this, but i will try to see if mine is the same too, then i will post feedback
I've charged mine on a USB port at work, but there isn't any Zune software in the way there... Honestly, I don't sync through USB, so I never noticed this, but at work I have used the USB port on our camera system to charge my phone...
most likely cause is the fact that the computer reduces the amount of current send to the usb port when powered down.
normaly all that is needed is a move of the mouse or a key press to power the computer back on.
now both the keyboard and mouse are low power devices.
now my guess is that the touch pro needs less power in standby then the hd7, and therefore the first will charge and the second will drain.
so to solve this question you need to measure the power comming from the computer in standby (powered on it's 500mA), and both the phones in standby mode.

Here's what I find odd:
The phone will not charge unless powered on. For example, if I have the phone turned off, and plug it into the wall charger it came with, the phone boots up. It will NOT charge while turned off.
Anyone else notice this?

i saw someone mention that the led won't turn on during charging while the phone is turned off.
sadly he didn't wait long enough to see if the led turns on when the battery is fully charged.
also i have no idea which model he was using.

I posted earlier about charging issues on the HD7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849548
What I found was that if you have the HD7 plugged into the USB port and then you suspend/shut down the PC, it'll stop charging (while all other phones I've used - iPhones, HD2, etc. - will keep charging).
Once you suspend/shut down, you need to then unplug and replug the HD7, and it should start charging again. Not sure why this happens, but I need to do it every night, otherwise I have a dead phone in the morning.

That is apparently a "feature" of WP7-- the phone will automatically turn on when plugged in.
Replaced battery, which had some charge in it, I connected it to the computer and the charger and got the lightning bolt, however the battery showed not charging, the USB connection to the computer was fine and was able to transfer files, unfortunately couldn't flash a new rom as the battery power was too low, also tried probably too late to go into the stock recovery and it just turns the phone off, before the battery was completely drained the battery charging icon looked normal with it filling up, now it comes on, but no filling up
I also put it on the wireless charger overnight and it did nothing
stock 6.0.1 no water damage, motherboard looks fine
is the phone a lost cause? anyone have any ideas?
thanks for your help peeps

Did you try a different cable?
yes, I tried 5 different cables that all work with my other phones, I did search for solutions before posting, I just didn't find anyone with a charging issue that was able to connect to the computer
thanks for the suggestion though, I appreciate it
If it's the battery, then replacement batteries are super cheap and it looks like a simple operation.
Hi anyone has problem with quick charge? I noticed that last night that when plugged in its charging in normal mode. I tried to move cable a bit in socket and plug again few times and after few attempts it worked as quick charge. I noticed that my USB plug seems quite loose in charging port.

The charging port (on the phone) is kinda shaky-but-tight fit on my phone too.
As soon as you plug in a charger, You see "Charging"..
And after device sleeps, you give it a few seconds and then you wake it up, it shows "charging rapidly"..
Additionally, I see this charging rapidly message - only when it is in certain battery charge percentage (withing 30-80%)
Which implies, in my opinion - that they have made sure that the device charges rapidly only when it's not working. (for heat issues, maybe)
If that's intended, I guess, that will really help with battery longevity.
Cheers,
Sony.

Ok just checked it and yeah looks like it. Yeah I'm just not worried about the port as it is shaky but yeah fit well. Thanks for help!
I have had an issue since 8.1. Returned phone to Nokia who and back with no fault found but was told to wait for July update or replace charger or cable. Definite issue.
