I was just listening to music from TF3D and all of a sudden the screen turned off, music stopped, and the power button at the top was glowing red for a few seconds. I tried turning it back on, removing and reinserting the battery, but nothing happens. I can't turn it back on at all!
One thing I do notice is if I remove the battery, and plug in the usb cable connected to my computer, the power button glows red, but I can't turn it on. If I insert the battery, and then plug in the USB, the button doesn't glow red.
How would I recover the phone?

Try charging your phone for about an hour. The red light under the power button happened to me when i had used up all of my juice.
yeah i had the same problem and i had been very frightened of it...
just charge it...
Ah ok. Weird! Because when I was listening to music I had just taken it off the charger and it said 90% battery! And I had only listened to one song. I guess the battery meter was telling me false info =(
Thanks all
well maybe your battery was still kinda "new" so it wasnt showing correct data
a red light?
cool ... is this a phone or a light-generator?
it was the first pda with making so much noises by optical... but is good ...
Can anyone explain me how is the red light under the power button? The light doesn't come out from the illumination light, does it? I wanna see how is the light. Screenshot will be better.
It doesnt come out form the illumination light. It's by the power button. Usually it blinks when your battery is at 5% or close to total drained.
It´s a light that´s gives you battery error. I spent 2 days trying to figure it out because my phone wasn´t turning on and the red light was continuissly showin off, at the end it was because of a cheap wall charger (5V and 500ma, when SE uses 5v with 700ma) I just charged with SE wall charger and everything went back to normal.
In your case maybe one of you battery cells broke and that´s why it´s was at 90% giving you that hateful red light.
Here is a post conserning your problem:

i think the battery is low quality fake..
i found out that the fasted way to charge your empty battery is:
1. remove your battery
2. insert you mini usb charger (NOT usb>mini-usb from your computer)
3. watch if the red light is on. (underneath your power button)
4. insert your battery.
5. after 5/10 minutes your X1 is working again.
you can do it by just plugging your charger on when it's empty but then it can take up to 2 days (YES, i have experienced it) to make your X1 working again.
another way is, just plug the wall charger to your x1 then leave it there. the x1 do not wake up that quick because the charge voltage goes up grandually/slowly for protect your battery and phone after the battery voltage same as charge voltage, then it can be charge normally*
Thank god that I read this topic yesterday. Otherwise I would have pissed my trousers because I had the same light today.
Hello, I have a problem with my HTC Kaiser. It is almost 2 years old and also a little bit battered, so I don't think, I have chance to get a warranty repair.
So, my Kaiser stopped recharging it's battery. When I plug AC adapter or USB cable, it is not charging, although USB is working (ActiveSync is synchronizing, internet sharing is working ...).
There are three scenarios: If the phone is ON and I plug in the cable, the display backlight switch into on-external-power mode, but the orange "charging diode" is not lighting.
If I turn off the phone and connect cable, charging diode starts lighting for about 20 seconds and then switch into blinking mode.
But when I quickly press power button, the diode stops blinking and starts permanently lighting, when I wait for a hour and then turn on the phone, the battery is still not charged (not even by a 1%..).
Do you have any ideas, where is the catch? I don't have second battery, so I am not able to test, whether the problem is in battery, or in the cellphone.
Uh, sorry, I forgot some details:
R 1.71.09.01
G 25.75.40.02
D 3.5.ROMeOS
Ehm. Yep. I bought new battery and now it is OK.
Hi. I have a very strange problem with my XSP running Vanir. I've been using Vanir for over 2 months now.
The problem is that the phone wouldn't charge, at all. When it was powered on, plugging in the cable through either wall socket/pc would do nothing. PC didn't even recognize the phone.
Currently, the battery is completely drained and there's no way to power it on. When I connect the phone to wall socket, the LED first turns green for about 5 seconds. Then, Sony logo is flashed with LED being red, for 5 seconds again. Then, the offline charging screen would appear, and go off within a couple of seconds. When I press the power button, the offline charging screen flashes and goes off. LED isn't blinking or lit up.
If I connect the phone to PC, the LED glows red constantly. That's it, no charging.
The problem is not with the cable as I tried 3 different ones.
Someone help, please.
May be the micro usb socket is damaged.

As of about three days ago my One will not longer charge over USB. The phone detects that it's being plugged in, the computer recognizes it and the phone even acts like it's charging. Except it just won't charge. I've tried two different cables(one being the stock cable) and two different computers with the same result. I've done all of the tricks I was able to find on Google, such as holding power and vol- for two minutes, power and vol+/- for two minutes and holding it up to a light source to reset the light sensor. It also charges just fine in safe mode and with the phone powered off.
I have an old HTC Vivid. It has been working fine since about last week, when it only charged if I held the charger a certain way. I gave up on charging it with the charger and used a battery charger to charge it. That worked well until this morning. Now pressing the power button does nothing. Plugging it in with the HTC Charger turns the screen on to show 100% charged and the charge light turns green. Pressing the power button makes both the screen and the LED turn off. I've tried:
Power + Vol. Up
Power + Vol. Down
Power + Vol. Up + Vol. Down
Power (30 Sec)
Nothing works.
What do you mean "battery charger". The cradle that you put the battery into and then plug into the wall?
When you plug your phone into the computer do you hear the ping it usually makes when something is plugged in?

Yes, a battery "cradle". I used to hear the ping it makes when you plug it in immediately followed by the ping it makes when something is plugged out. The charger port smells like it's been burnt out.
