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

Wont Power On

I am looking at trading for a Bionic, however it has a problem. The guy I might trade says it wont turn on for him. If he plugs it into USB it will get a white LED, cant remember if he said it blinks or not.
I am quite familiar with modding phones as I have a Fascinate running 4.0. As such I have a lot of software. Any help or advice would be great. Thanks.

Anyone have any ideas.

Yeah its Superbricked(battery dead, AND Stuck on "Fastboot Flash Failure" or some other "Failure". All you need is a new battery and Follow These Steps to get to stock. There is another way to charge a battery.
1. Get a spare USB Cord.
2. Cut and strip the end down(the end you stick in the phone)
3. Strip it. Give it at least 2 inches.
4. There are 4 wires. Black, Red, Green and White. Ignore the Green and White and strip the plastic off the Red & Black until its just the wires.
5. On the back of the battery there is a "+" and a " - ". Black is negative. Red is positive.
6. Connect wires accordingly. Use the OUTSIDE slots not the middle.
7. connect USB Cord to computer or wall charger and let it charge.
I HAVE DONE THIS TO CHARGE MY BATTERY IT WORKS. I did fold the wires a little to make it stick(more like jam it in here) and used a fingernail to push it to those two sides in each slot(you'll see what I'm talking about when you look at the battery).
YouTube link.
PS: Don't leave it on there for an extened amount of time(the longest I had mine on was about an hour because you will need some juice to flash to a stock rom).

So my situation is a bit different. I have a Bionic completely stock, just performed a factory reset via the menu options on the phone. It was on and working with the set up screen. It was not active and therefore couldn't go past the setup screen.
Now, my 6 yr old nephew took the phone. Had it for a couple of days, took it to school but not important, when i got the phone back it would not turn on. I figured it was a dead battery. So i plugged it in an left it for a few hours while i was at work. When i got home, it would not turn on. When i plug the phone into a charger that I verified per another phone works nothing happens. When I take the battery out of the phone and plug into my computer the led light comes on and is solid. But phone will still not come on, i even try to hold down both volume buttons and the power button at the same time.
So is my device bricked as well? And how could this have happened? Do i have to purchase a brand new battery or can I use the charging trick on my current battery?
Thank you for the help in advance!

Xperia Z dead the morning after being near a magnet

Hi all
I was unfortunate enough to walk past a very strong magnet yesterday, the kind they use for removing security tags from clothes (in a workshop environment, it was stuck to the edge of a workbench, the phone was in my pocket and grabbed onto the magnet as I walked past). The screen went purple and slowly faded to black, but turning it to standby and back on again it loaded up fine and the screen was back to normal and worked perfectly until I went to bed last night.
I have had the phone on charge all night, as I usually do, but today it was off, and will not turn on at all. Plugging it into my computers USB port causes a charging icon to appear on the screen (it's been on charge all night so shouldn't be flat), when I try to turn it on, it loads up half way to the "Sony" logo on the screen and then reverts back to the charging symbol. I have tried charging it on a 2A iPad charger, the official charger that came with it, a USB battery pack, and from a computer and leaving for half an hour each time and there is no sign of any change. The red charging LED is on as it usually is.
What can I try next? Is it likely to be toast? Considering a large number of retailers still sell magnetic phone holders for cars etc (Halfords for one), I find it hard to believe it would react this way to a magnet.

It's possible it's toast, I guess
Have you tried booting into recovery?
other than that, you may well have to contact Sony

I would try reflashing a stock rom if you can.
Might have wiped some of the memory and needs re-writing.
Phil

Hold the power button and the vol up for a few seconds until you feel 3 vibrations.
See if that helps

It might have corrupted the data or damaged the data chip itself. Try entering fastboot/flash mode and reflash the stock rom, you can find the flashtool and rom files in development section.

It's still under warranty, so you can always send it back claiming its faulty. The magnets that takes pins out of clothes are actually quite strong! We have a few powerful magnets in the lab I work with and more than a few credit cards and phones have been lost due to careless placement of magnets/items.
If the phone did stick to the magnet it may have toasted some internal memory. Let us know if you can flash a stock tft file.

Hi all
Sadly no luck with getting into recovery mode, it doesn't vibrate or anything when holding power and vol up or down just seems to stay in a loop coming up with the battery symbol and then cutting out. Must have fried/corrupted something to do with the charging circuit I think.
The magnet was incredibly strong, it can lift up a small desktop computer which must be around 10kg or so.
Time to dig out my spare SGS3 and send back to Sony I think.
Thanks for your suggestions, will head to the shop tomorrow and see what they say, I'm truly gutted as it was only a few weeks old and has been my favourite phone so fat, I've had it since launch day.

re
Have U tried this?
Start PC companion
Select upgrade
select repair phone
select phone model, the companion will download official firmware
shut down phone pressing power button for 10 secs.
hold the vol up button and put in the usb cable
pc companion will find the phone and restore the firmware , wait at least 10-15 minutes.
restart phone, wallpaper will appear, it may take 5-10 minutes until home screen appears!
Good luck!

Thanks for your reply Connectix, sadly it was not recognised by PC companion when I tried this, I think it's dead for now. Just heading out to take it back to the shop.

bro so sad....
take it to service center ...they will do it for u...
If I Helped U Dont Forget To Press Thanks

Hey, before you bring it back plug it into a wall charger and leave it for 1-2 hours (should give the battery at least 20% min). Then try going into recovery/flash mode again. I had a similar problem when flashing a rom and it hung for 20 minutes, battery died. This is just on the off chance that there might be low battery, but if the magnet can lift a 5kg weight I think you're screwed. Remember, no magnets at waist height!!!

Magnets usually don't kill electric devices. What a non sense. Perhaps it was somekind of electro-magnetic interference which caused the malfunction.
But I don't think it is possible for sony to detect this so you probably get this replaced under warranty.

Hi again
Sorry for the slow reply, Sony replaced the logic board under warranty so all sorted now. Won't be going near that magnet again!
Cheers for all your suggestions

Xperia T - stock, not rooted potentially reversed USB connection, now won't switch on

Hi
I’m wondering if anybody has any advice regarding my problem. I have looked here and tried what has been suggested.
My stock, never rooted, never flashed, Xperia T (think it was Android 4.3 but can’t now check, the latest Sony rolled out) was working fine until yesterday. I was on a plane and noticed it had 20% battery life left so I plugged it into the onboard USB port. The problem is I think I hay have plugged the cable into the port the work way round – not the connection on the phone, but the actual USB socket. This should be impossible but somebody obviously had broken the port and it turned out the cable could be plugged in both ways! (I don’t know if it was plugged in the wrong way round but is the only thing that could possible explain the sudden death.)
Could this have bricked it? I suddenly couldn’t get a red light to show charging and holding down power on and volume up or down does nothing. I tried charging overnight via a wall socket when I got home but the result is still the same. Just a black screen and no sign of life. I have also tried plugging it into a computer with Sony’s PC Companion but as the phone is not ‘on’, it can’t be found.
Does anybody have any advice where to go from here? I’m more concerned about some recent data from holiday on the phone than the actual handset itself. If the phone is dead, is there any way to read the internal memory?
Thanks

Try this: Unplug the charger, press the power button. The phone won’t power up because there is no charge left in the battery. But press the power button along and while doing so, connect the charger without releasing the button. Now, you will probably see the red light. Please don’t take off your finger from the power button for around 1 to 2 minutes when the red light for charging will glow continuously. If you feel tired holding it, you can try sticking a tape on it in it’s pressed mode. Once you are sure that the phone is now charging the battery again(red light keeps glowing even after the power button is released) kindly wait for 5 to 10 minutes or may be more before you press the power button again to power the phone up. Now the phone will be up and running
If that doesnt work maybe ur battery is dead or usb port broken

Thanks for the advice. I gave that a go after trying a 24h wall charge and not touching it (which did nothing).
So, I held the power down, plugged it in but nothing. I held it down for around 5 minutes both manually and then repeated the process using the rubber band trick to keep the button held down but no red light ever came on. I think I’m going to try a new battery as I genuinely see that I have nothing to lose as I doubt it will be possible for anybody to recovery data given as the phone can’t be switched on so if I break it further I’m in no worse position!
Thanks again for trying to help though!:good:

When I got my xperia t it was in described condition. I also tried everything (rubberband trick and so on) but the only thing working was to open it and pull and put in again the plug of the battery. After that it booted immediately and I got this sleep-of-death-thing nearly every day... Since I soldered the battery as described in this Topic it happens only ~once a week. Good luck!

SOLVED! In preparation for the new battery arriving, I decided to take the back cover off. I unhooked the top battery connector and decided to connect it back up again, just to see if it did anything. Plugged in the charger and a red light came on straight away! I let it charge for a good couple of hours and switched it on – not as easy without the case attached – and it worked. I’m so frustrated with it being such a simple issue as needing to disconnect the battery but even more frustrated with the design that it is meant to be a ‘sealed’ unit with a non-removable battery. I used to often need to disconnect my old Omnia II battery to restart it but that was a simple case of cover off, remove battery, replace battery , put cover back on, not the creaky, back cover fear of cracking exercise of yesterday. Still it’s working now and hopefully life in the old phone yet!

Xperia X Performance - Bricked maybe? Help needed

Hey all,
I recently got an Xperia X Performance that was sold to me as faulty.
At first I thought it was the battery as it wouldn't charge (No LED) and holding Vol + Power did nothing.
I got a new battery, installed it and won't turn on.
When I plug it into the AC Adapter, no LED comes on.
If I hold Vol+ Power it vibrates once, then 3 times and depending on how long I hold it for (Could be 10 seconds, could be a minute) it might do that cycle again.
If I let go at a certain point I have able to:
Have a Red LED constantly on, even when the USB is not connected.
Have a Green LED constantly on, also when the USB is not connected. (PC Won't recognize either)
And the Sony Logo flashes up on a white screen for a split second and turns off and then it's dead again.
Note: The phones motherboard does get warm when I have one of the LEDs on. So something is going on.
I tried using the Xperia Companion to repair it (Like I did with many Z phones back in the day when they did similar things and that always worked) - this one doesn't work at all. PC Doesn't detect it.
Tried on a Win 7 and Win 10 system, both no avail.
When I took the back cover off the phone, someone has used, what I thought to be super glue to seal it shut.
And the OG battery was loose inside the phone before I replaced it.
So I am thinking, either it's bricked or just completely dead.
Have yet to check with a multimeter on the USB port but I believe it is working.
If anyone has any suggestions, or maybe some sort of help - I have only seen this issue with the older Xperia Z phones. Help is needed!
Thanks heaps!

There is no method to fix it, unless change the motherboard. I had also meet this problem, maybe you can try setool.
