Usually that's a battery problem. What happens when you try with another battery?

Is that with a old battery or a new battery?
Also, did you try factory reset? (if you're on stock, that will wipe your device, pics too so I would make a backup on your pc first).

I dont know, maybe old, I buy it in a small store, cheap price

Try factory reset. If that doesn't work, you'll have to look for a better battery.
I'm not sure why else it wouldn't stay on.

Battery keeps showing empty when switched off

Hi...
I got a very weird problem. after charging my phone for 2 hours its automatically reboots and it gets stuck in a bootloop where its showing battery icon from no charge to full ..
Also if i just reboot it, it keeps showing the same without even charging. And no matter what without taking my battery out, I cant reboot the phone!
Anyone had this problem? I tried flashing back to ICs chainfire LB1 repack...But still no change!.. tried different battery too!
try to format /system before flashing,
then it should work.
But if it doesn't, try to flash per odin, something stock maybe
I hope i could help u,

Try checking the battery pins on phone sometimes they get bent or dirty just a thought if not then it sounds like the main board has a fault as you have tried everything that could help
Maybe format all things in mounts and storage in cwm might help

Easiest way to make sure it's not a battery problem is just to buy a new one from ebay and eliminate the possibility.
But it sounds like an internal problem to me, not software related. You could try a wipe.

I did a factory reset ( I was on JB then) and didn't solve the issue. when the phone is connected to the charger it can go beyond the Samsung logo and the splash screen for a while but will turn off quickly. without a charger it will only show the Samsung logo and then turn OFF.
Can you go into recovery, plug the cable, and then power off the phone? leave it like that for few minutes.
I can go into the download mode but not recovery.... what does that mean???? Tried your other suggestion, but no luck...!!
Is your battery swollen if looking at the side and you say it will go past splash screen if plugged into charger so does that mean it will boot into the Rom if plugged in or does it just stay splash screen and also if not able to get into recovery could mean something happened with the kernel so flashing a fresh jb Rom with Odin maybe what you need. The problem with that is if your battery is bad it could cause more problems trying to flash anything with dead battery as in bricking the device. So you should start with new battery and let charge a few hours then see if your phone boots up if not then you could flash with pc Odin and go from there.

He should try kernel option you gave him, if everything else failed. I read around there were like 3 people with same situation. Maybe they used the same thing?
Search philz kernel, download one or two, and flash those in odin. Its a safe kernel, and powerful cwm.
He probably fixed by now. Hope so, for his own good.
Issue Solved, It was broken battery, Changed the batter and the phone is working again. Thanks everybody for your help....

[Q] my xperia x8 turns on and off again and again

Hello everyone.
I just got my xperia x8 from my brother because he didn't know how to fix it.
The phone seems like it has not even a scratch.
The issue is that everytime i turn it on it is just turning on and off and on and off again and again.
I don't even have time to input my pin.
The battery always seems to be drained although i charge it occasionally.
I have updated it's os with pc companion, but it keeps doing the same thing.
Is there anything that i can do to fix it?

try to flash stock frimware through flash tools(this wipes the data & reinstalls the system partition)
Normally flashing fixes all software fault but if your hardware is damaged so you shouldnt be hopeful.
I think its a sw problem but even an empty battery can cause exactly the same react.(put another battery then try flashtools)
Hope i could help you

that's our little greek secret... no modifications to the software but he kinda had troubles with this mobile for the whole period of time he owned it.he didn't receive messages in the particular device as far as i can remember. the battery doesn't seem to have anything wrong though.it is just sliiiightly puffed but nothing that alerting.i mean i havent charged it for a long time and it can still power the mobile's "neverending loop". if there was a problem wouldnt it not turn on at all or something? i don't have an extra battery and i'm thinking of getting through with the flash stock romafter i charge it a bit.. should i? and if yes, how? i've never done that (a guide would be great )

I am facing the same problem as urs, have you got any answer or what is the solution.

Seems like either a boot loop, or damaged battery. I would:
Try to flash the stock rom again and if not fixed, try to change battery.
Does the phone charge when off?

Thanks for pointing me to the right thread, although it didn't help my situation. By the process of elimination I say its the battery, but still can't see how flashing the ext-sdcard would brake it.
Without the battery I get red led flashes, which to my knowledge is a low battery charge (which is how it should behave)
Thanks again buddy kudos
:good:
Have you tried the classic "fastboot/flashmode" connections?

yes no luck there
No green/blue led turns on, when you connect the phone in fastboot/flashmode to the pc?
Have you tried to charge the phone for at least 3-4 hours and then try again to turn it on, or connect to the pc with the previously listed modes?
