My xperia doesn't take the charge!

Hey, dunno if some one had the same problem but my xperia doesn't take the charge.
Its appened when the mobile has terminated all his battery, and know the charge is not accepted by the phone
help me please

Something perhaps similar happened to me, i ran my battery completely flat and then could not switch the phone on even when it was on the charger. So I left it on the charger for ~1 hour and then it switched on fine! The other possibility is that you battery is dead. Hope this helps!

Its not the first time its appened to me, and the first time i had the problem i try a lot of time to recharge it, take out the battery, replace it etc.. and its worked.
But in 2 days, my phone is off :/
My battery is not dead i know, but how to recharge it

I have 2 computers from which I load it with usb cable. For some reason Mac Pro doesn't load the damn phone but Macbook does.
Try switching your "power" source. And sometimes when the battery goes really flat it needs many hours to even boot when loading up. One time I really thought the damn thing was dead for sure... But it came back to life
When you press the power button there's a red light next to volume buttons indicating it doesn't have enough power yet to boot up. If there's no red light then it's not charging at all.

Just leave if plugged-in and it will charge. It takes some time before it will charge if it is fully drained.

Ok thanks for reply
Have no real solution, but have the red light near to the volume button, or in the top of the phone.
But the phone doesn't take the charge at all...
The red light gave the battery charge, only that... have it sometimes and sometimes havent it...
Help me please
2 day less my phone know..

Ok i dunno why but the phone weak UP !
NICE
Ir was connected to the cpu and i presszs the button and it weak up
omg this phone

(Sort of) got it.
I'm not really an xda developer but id do have an xperia.
The same problem occured to my device about three weeks ago. I've noticed that the phone would still charge in the computer, but not by the power net adapter. (it must be broke i guess)
Today i've locked myself out calling the battery flat. I couldnt get it on anymore. After a lot of hassle this was the solution for me:
1) Connect the phone to a computer. Don't try to turn it on! Leave it there for about 15 minutes.
2) Disconnect the phone and pull out the battery.
3) Hold down the "on" button while inserting the battery back.
-- It should turn on now
4) Release the on button and quickly connect it to your computer again.
Hope this helps.

I just remember the red led lit on at the on/off button and the red light disappeared after 5 mins or so and i left for breakfast while it was still in the charger and by the time im back from breakfast, it turned itself on and was charging up

[Q] Brand new Nexus One can't be powered on

I have a brand new Nexus One bought on last year April. For some reason it wasn't to be used. Yesterday, I got it out of the package and charged it for ready to be powered on. Unfortunately, it reacted nothing as I pressed the power button! I took out the battery and put it into other Nexus One, it showed the battery was 100% charged.
I took back the battery and repacked it to this new Nexus One. I tried to press the power button more and more with data cable connected pc. Nothing happened. Just one time, the sceen lighted on and the "X" in four colors appeared! I didn't know why it was powered on. Maybe I pressed the trackball or volume up/down buttons, God know it.
The X sceen lasted almost for ten minutes and then sceen was off! Yes. It shutdown! I can't power it on anymore!
It seemed the hardware was OK. It may be the locked by the outdate android system. The android prestored in this phone is version 2.1.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks.

Can u you go in fastboot? Press power button+trackball..if so then you can recover your phone by unlocking bootloader and falshing custom recovery.

Sadly, It can't be power on and go in fastboot by pressing trackball+power button.

Any more advice?

Check the battery terminals just to make sure they're not dirty.. Sadly, you MUST be able to at least be able to boot something (hboot/fastboot) in order to troubleshoot anything software related. Sounds like you've got a hardware issue that could be one of (literally) a million things.
Sell it on EBay for parts. You can probably get $50-$60

you could try pressing pwr/vol-/trackball all at same time, hold down for around 30 seconds to make sure
commonly known as 3 finger salute
try power on without sdcard by manual methods and plugging in and plugging in with no battery

I have seen a video on YouTube on how to fix the power button which is known for messing up and how to turn it on. Search YouTube
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

is it that the power button is not working? that would be weird for a new phone though.
have you tried to turn it on using the "jump start" method?
connect the cable. led the charging led come on. remove the battery, wait for the led to go off (while cable is still connected) then pop the battery back in.
see if you can get it to start that way

When you plug charger cable in your Nexus, does the orange or green LED go on?
If one of them does and stays (green for full battery, orange otherwise) - then your problem is most likely the power button. It may not be the only problem, but at least the one that's stopping you from turning on your phone. You can try "jumpstarting" it by inserting battery while charger is connected.
If you don't see LEDs when plugged in - your phone is done.
If you see blinking LEDs - battery terminals might need cleaning/fixing, it usually happens when the battery is out of the phone.

[Q] Bought a Touchpad off ebay - is it bricked?

Hey helpful XDA'rs,
After somehow avoiding to have a tablet for this many years, I decided to get a 2ndhand Touchpad after seeing all the reviews, ROM support, price to relative specs, etc... so I bought a second hand 32GB tablet off of ebay. In fact, this one right here... http://www.ebay.com/itm/271192613408?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Anyways, I got it earlier today, and plugged it into the wall charger it came with (the circular OEM HP one, with the long cable with a silver circle on each end). When I plugged it in, the little white alternating light under the home button switched on, so I figured it was working. Had it plugged in for about a half hour before I decided I couldn't contain my excitement and wanted to power it up. Of course nothing happened. Just a black screen and that little white alternating light mocking me.
I immediately hit up the google machine and XDA and realized that the screen was supposed to be on with an actual charging icon/animation or something like that. Up to this point, I still have not seen any sort of anything appear on screen. Just that little white light. Now yes, I've read through the posts.
First I checked to see if the HP charger/cable would charge my GS2. It did, and quickly (not some sissy trickle charge) and the circular HP thing felt warm to the touch. I also unscrewed the cylinder HP charger and blew in there with my breath pretty hard to clear out any possible dust, then screwed it back on tightly. I have used different cables with the HP charger, and used the HP cable with my GS2 charger. Same results, just that mocking little light, and the HP cylinder did not feel warm to the touch.
I have done pretty much all the button combinations I could find for at least a minute, with no results. Power + home, power + rapid firing the home button, power + volume up + home, power + both volume + home, etc. This is with the charger plugged into the wall.
I did notice two changes though.
#1 When I hold power + home, after maybe 12 seconds, the light stops alternating and is off - for about 2 seconds. Then the alternating starts back up. When the alternating light stops when I do this, it is always for the same amount of time, about 2 seconds, then it starts up again, regardless of if I continue holding the power + home, or if I immediately let go of the buttons, or immediately let go and then try pushing other buttons; it is always the same, the flashing stops after about 12 seconds, pauses with no lights at all for about 2 seconds, and then starts back up again.
#2 When I hold power + home + volume up, after about 12 seconds, the white alternating stops completely and never comes back if I don't do anything else. There are only 3 ways that I have found so far that will get the alternating white light back. First, just simply unplug and replug in, the light immediately comes back. 2nd and 3rd ways are to do the previous two button combos again, (power/home or power/volup/home for about 12 seconds).
MOVING FORWARD, here's where some interesting things happened, which hopefully is enough to have someone knowledgeable know what might be going on.
I decided to try #1 and #2 again, but this time, instead of the wall charger, I plugged the USB cable into one of my computer USB ports. My computer didn't make a device connect sound, nor show any kind of drive being connected in my computer. Just the same alternating white light.
Trying method #1 above, did the same thing. Power/home, alternating light would turn off for 2 seconds then start back up. Still no sounds from computer.
Trying method #2, finally something! When I held power/home/volup, after about 12 seconds the alternating light would turn off for good as expected, but then my computer made a noise! Not the device connected sound (low note to high note sound), not even the device disconnected sound (high note to low note), but that 3rd "device failed to connect" sound, the (three low tone sound). If you go to your windows sounds you'll know which sound I'm talking about. Anyways, I was glad to hear that the computer realized something was there. Although it was just a sound. Nothing in my computer, but for a second I did see a pop-up bubble in my lower right hand notifications say "device did not install correctly" or something like that. Now, with the touchpad still plugged into USB, and the alternating light off, if I either remove the cable (or hold power/home or power/home/volup for 12 seconds so the alternating light goes back on) then my computer makes that "device disconnected" sound. The hell is going on? I can duplicate those two sounds (the device failed to connect sound, and the device disconnected sound) over and over by holding power/home/volup for 12 seconds, and then unplugging and replugging the USB.
Having said all this, anyone have any ideas? Again, up until this point, I have yet to see anything appear on screen. Just that damn white alternating light.
I also know that this might also be a case of the really dead battery. It may just need to charge for like 48 hours via HP wall charger, or it may need to trickle charge for like 48 hours via USB to computer. If that's what it takes, but jesus I'm impatient and don't want to wait a week or longer, especially if I have a small window of opportunity to return this via ebay. So for tonight, I'm going to trickle charge via USB, but with the alternating light OFF via method #2, because at least with #2 and the light off, my computer makes a sound confirming something is plugged in. My rationale is that if it thinks something is plugged in, it will charge it.
Thoughts guys? A million thanks to anyone who actually read this entire essay and is still willing to help out!
Edit: the USB trickle charge I am attempting overnight tonight is via my GS2 cable, NOT the HP cable, since I've read all over the place that the HP cable is of poor quality.

Sometimes, when the battery has been completely depleted, it takes a real long while (24+ hours).
Your cable and charger seem to be Ok, so just plug it into the wall and check on it it tomorrow.
Post again if you keep having problems and we should be able to help you.
Good luck.

Not sure it will help but but holding power,home and volume down button is reboot ,I've had to hold it for 15 to 17 seconds before....

When i got my touchpad it was deeply discharged. I had to let it charge for several hours before it did anything at all. However i used the weak Samsung charger, so there was at least that message "please use the original charger" on the screen. So maybe you just need to wait...
Good luck though

To my joy, I woke up today with the screen on displaying a low battery charging icon. It's in the red though, but that's definitely progress. Is there a charging animation, or is it just a still icon? Mine has no animation and wanted to make sure mine didn't freeze.

I wanna say there is no animation just the icon (its been a long time since I've seen it ) but it only needs around 10% to boot... Now that you see the icon try holding the power and home button for 15sec and see if it boots.

I went and grabbed some food and upon returning I saw that my TP had completely turned itself on and was on some sort of setup screen, asking for me to select a language. I'm running through the setup now - two things. First, is it necessary to create a webOS account? Kinda like creating a google account for android? I intend on installing cyanogen10 on this, but wasn't sure if a weOS account was necessary. Or perhaps it's helpful. Second, the touch response is HORRIBLE right now doing the setup, takes multiple attempts to push an area, and with much more pressure than I would think is necessary. I'm assuming this is to low battery,. and it will improve as the battery returns to normal levels?

Not sure about the touch response issue but the low battery could be a possibility , as for the webos account i believe you only need to do that in order to use webos , i would do it anyways though .
Check here if you don't feel like making a webos acct: http://forums.webosnation.com/android-webos/318426-how-install-android-without-setting-up-webos.html

Yeah it was low battery. After a little more charging the touch response works fine now. Thanks! I was really stressing that I received a dead TP.

There are several programs available in the play store that will turn your tablet off when the battery % reaches a certain level. I use Automatelt (thanks to sstar for the tip) set at 20 %.

Is 20% the general consensus around XDA where it shouldn't go any lower than? Are some people setting it higher? Lower?

I have mine at 9% . some prefer more battery left to feel safer i suppose , basically you don't want to let your tp battery drain completely because it might possibly brick

won't turn on/can't select any boot options

I have a new Motorola Atrix HD. I was using it and the screen went black. i hit the power button to unlock but nothing happened. i plugged it in but nothing happened. i took the back off to see if the battery was disconnected. I didn't know the battery was different than other phones and ripped the power cord connecting the battery to the phone when i took it out. lesson learned. Ordered a new battery and installed correctly. phone won't turn on. The green charge light blinks when i plug it into the wall and then stays on for about 20 seconds and then the phone tries to turn on but while the motorola icon is illuminated, it cuts back out and repeats the cycle. I left it plugged in for a couple hours and still the same thing. i tried holding in power and volume buttons for the boot screen. if i do that just as the phone attempts to turn on i can get the screen up and scroll the list of boot options with the power buttons but i can't select any of them and the phone cuts out after the same amount of time. Everytime. When i plug it into my laptop, the light blinks on and then stays on like with the wall, but the phone doesn't attempt to power up. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. i have read a lot of forums where the battery was acting up because of the chargers people were using. The difference between my situation and those of the people i read about is that my boot screen cuts out and cannot be used. This all happened 2 days after my exchange period ended and because i took the back off myself, best buy won't have anything to do with me so i'm on my own and cannot afford another phone right now. Thanks in advance for your time and concern.

Is it possible that the that connection between the power cord and the phone itself is loose or damaged? I'm just guessing here as I have never opened up the back of my phone.

I would check your battery terminals then leave it to charge if it does. You could also try a factory cable. Another thing would be to try fastboot while connected to your laptop and see if it stays on, and if it does, try reflashing all partitions.

[Q] [Help Thread] Nook HD not booting at all

I recently went on a 3 month trip. Before I left, my nook was working perfectly fine, when i got back, it didn't work at all. It's not dead because i left it plugged in overnight but it still didn't turn on. when i plug it in the LED goes from orange to green and then off (or green to orange, i can't remember). The screen doesn't turn on at all. I can't get to recovery either.
This is a Nook HD, I believe it had CM11.
:crying:
Can this be fixed
or should i plan it's funeral

Same here
The same has happened to me. Screen doesn't turn on, but there is power, I can play it into my laptop and something is there, just not enough.
Good excuse for a new tablet!

It can be fixed. I've done it before. It has to do with the fstrim not being compatible with certain hardware versions of our device. If I can remember how I fixed it, I'll post it here. Trying to fix mine (again).

If would be fab if you could fix. Seems to be a common issue

I was able to fix it. YMMV.
1) Make sure the Nook is completely off and unplugged
2) Take out your sdcard
3) Hold down power button until the "battery depleted" icon shows, then promptly plug in the power before the icon disappears.
4) Let it set. The screen will go black, then it will attempt to boot and get stuck on the faint black screen, but this time, the charging light should stay amber.
If you want to be safe, wait until the device reboots itself. That could take hours though. If you're plugged into the wall wait at least 30 - 45 minutes before holding the power button down til it shuts down and then rebooting it (with the sdcard inserted).
Good luck, I hope it works for you.
EDIT: Also, I've read this may also have to do with wifi sending the device into some sort of strange bootloop when the screen is off. I personally believe it has more to do with the fstrim of JB but perhaps changing the wifi sleep policy may prevent this issue from happening again. I'm skeptical, but figured I'd pass that info along if anyone wants to try it as well.

Not sure we have the same problem. My screen doesn't come on at all, I don't get a battery depleted icon, no matter how long I hold in the power button. The only sign of life I get is when it's plugged in, when it goes from orange to green after about 10 seconds.
Thanks for the help, but I think it's a lost cause.

YMMV. But mine was the same issue. You should be able to get the icon by holding the power button down for 5 or 6 seconds. I'd say just eff with it until that icon appears. Try different button combinations. I used power and home trying to get the icon to show.

Anyway... since people are continually running into this kind of issue...
Give or take 21 seconds after turning orange it turns green during actual boot cycle into rom
Give or take 10 seconds after turning orange is cwm internal recovery.
After about 10 seconds the charging screen image disappears.
The charging screen image once finally no longer may not show up again until full power off/on (holding power button > 10 seconds or full battery discharge). Unplugging and plugging back in does nothing except making the device look bricked if there's too much light shining on it.
Device may not automatically leave the above state under a specific situation(s). May still need manual full power off/on.
Guessing 10 seconds could also be something else during the early/late boot process or other. The light changing color though should indicate that something is indeed happening.
Light should stay green during the boot process if its completely and fully no questions asked 100%. If you go based on that than yours doesn't appear to be completely fully charged which should either mean its turning on and using battery or not charging correctly.
The light turning off is curious. The device could be shutting off. If light comes back on a moment later then the device has rebooted. if the light stays off = n/a.
If its booting into recovery then the device would be available via adb. At that point it could be further evaluated.
On the off chance the screen was damaged it should boot and usb should be available via computer as well as adb.
If not then its probably toast unless its simply not getting a good enough current causing mislead battery stats and/or not enough energy to get to charging screen (bad wall power adapter in use, damaged power cable - though could be bad battery, defect, damage or whatever). OR there's some major error on behalf of the user happening (think should have tried that in the morning not while 1/2 asleep or came home from long trip and forget how that works).
Maybe the only other things are the emmc brick bug, was left sitting in the sun or heat or ocean air or other physical damage/defect even to the power port as well.
Or maybe it was mad that you left it. Shouldn't have hurt its feelings you know. At least its not crying battery acid on you.
That should just about cover everything except for the things not mentioned. Since its your device, you decide what happened.
Its complicated so anyone see any improvements, clarifications, or mistakes? Please put it in a post.

Bumping this thread to make it aware that there is a real answer. I have been able to duplicate this problem and rather easily too.
The problem is indeed from bad power. The device isn't receiving the correct amount of power needed to charge and start from a fully discharged battery.
To safely* duplicate this you can use a usb extension that isn't fully connected to the nook power cable. You may need to fully connect it first then slowly disconnect/connect till the light turns green when it should actually be charging. It won't actually charge in this state, or if it is, its very little and the battery percentage will continue to drop.
Leave the cable as is and unplugged. After the tablet is fully discharged, connect the usb cable. The light will change through the modes and turn off. The device will not turn on.
There are probably other ways to cause the problem like for instance a portable usb battery that doesn't put out enough juice (not the orange kind). Etc.
* It didn't hurt mine, but not my fault if it breaks your device.

I actually ended up fixing it yesterday!! I haven't touched it in about 3 months, and I was planning on just throwing it out getting rid of it some how. For the heck of it, I decided to plug it in, assuming that it was gonna go through the same process. But this time it went from green to amber, but it never went off. So I pressed the power button and the battery icon appeared. This was a really good sign. So I left plugged in for about 5 to 10 minutes then tried to power on.:fingers-crossed: As soon as I saw that '' Nook" boot up screen, my heart stopped. It booted up perfectly and I almost blew up from excitement :victory:. So I then flashed the stock firmware back onto it, so this would never happen again.
I guess the battery had to be completely depleted or just had to cool down. Idk but either way this was one heck of a miracle
So I recommend for anyone having this problem to just leave it off and don't mess with it. I wouldn't say for 3 months like I did but maybe test it each week or wait a month if you have good patience

Wow. Man, that's awesome! Glad you posted that update on it. Thought if you had posted an update it would be the opposite as in trashed it
Actually, I guess only you could answer if you had also moved/unplugged the power cable from the wall adapter or put it into a different wall adapter, etc. Thinking there could have been a difference there.
These modern day devices are so finicky, guess anything is possible. Like you say, maybe sitting without power is another answer.

From some experimentation I have etermined that your power adapter (that plugs into the outlet) is the issue. It does not like to be leaft plugged in indefinately. It will continually use power even when the nook is not plugged in.
Also, if you use a differnt adapter you will have the same problem unless it is also of the exact same voltage and amps.
