Xperia T - Battery Dead at 0% won't turn - won't charge

Hello XDAers,
Just got an Xperia T off eBay. Brand new and tried to turn on and no luck.
Put it in charge, then realize that it doesn't charge. It boots to android then shows 0% and turn itself off back to charging mode.
Anyone has experienced such thing? I know in past some other Sony phone had this issue but I cant find anything on Xperia T.
Is this something I can fix or should I return it back/?
Any help is appreciated.

I just don't understand why people insist on buying phones off ebay. You don't know where they have been, what's happened to them. If they are legal. Get your money back (if you can) and get one from a reputable source.

Highly appreciate your input and help, Seller is reputable and there is no good source here to buy this phone in the US. What was your suggestion again?

Since the new style batteries do not like being without charge, I suggest biting the bullet and charging it fo a full 24 hours....dont touch it all in that time and only after 24 hours see what it does. If it is still at 0% then its FUBAR'd

i've got the same problem with my old x10 and nothing to do with a normal charge, the only solution i found is to charge it manualy with a charger whose i cut the micro usb and put the red on + and black on - of the battery and it's done , but with the XT i don't know if it's possible

Buy a new battery with separate charger as they can recondition the battery when its out of the phone

xperia T does not have a removable battery so that may not be as easy as it sounds.

Thank you for this and Thank you again for putting all the info together Greg.
First off, I charged the battery for a longer time and it decided to charge out of the blue.
And second, the info you are organizing in one place has reduce the headache for many and you deserve few more thank you
Phone is working as usual.
Cheers,

Re: Xperia T - Battery Dead at 0% won't turn - won't chargw
In the test menu, there is info on factory charge, which isn't confirmed until 50% charged, I think if you completely flatten the battery that it will need 50% before attempting to start.

I keep coming back to these threads whenever my Experia T is acting up again. I finally bit the bullet and went the hardware way as described in a comment on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWox7kCygRE
"In the end I fixed this problem by removing the back cover (one screw in where the SIM card goes) and detaching the battery supply from the phone. After a minute or two I reattached the battery supply (its a little yellow tab beside where you plug in the charger) and put the cover back on, plugged into charger and it started charging as normal."
It's surprisingly simple, to be honest.

I have this problem too...

I must admit the phone does get a little hot after a short period of usage.
However I think the reason for this being: the phone is waterproof.
This is just an speculation:
I assume that when making a device waterproof they use rubber parts inside so no water can get near the motherboard and such.
I also think that sealing the phone in such way causes the heat that builds up inside can go nowhere.
This casuing the device to heat up more fast and cool down less fast.
Again, this is just a speculation.
Kind regards, Stefan.

charging
my phone is even taking more time to charge
nearly 3 to 4 hrs to full charge
does any one have the same problem

I have noticed it actually doesnt charge when I am using the phone at the same time, sometimes it even DRAINS? Don't know if this is because I am charging through my laptop? But never had this problem with my Neo

what to do with phone now
giving less battery and phone is getting heated up fastly
not charging fastly

That is not a question for XDA, that is a question for your dealer.

Maybe you can try washing it to rinse the heat away?

The phone heats up because it's Water proof? Seriously these are the kind of answers people are giving on xda these days? Haha. No.
My phone charges fine on AC and doesn't get hot at all it only gets warm on charger.
Get replacement.

I have the same issue. After spending all night on the charger, the battery was only at 63% and the phone was very hot. I shutdown and restarted, and the phone charged quickly and became cool. The cause seems simple - some process or app is consuming CPU cycles and draining the battery as fast as it can be charged. After restart, the rogue app was stopped and the phone behaves normally again.
I have a suspicion that it's something to do with Throw/Sharing as the devices process seems to be using the largest proportion of battery. I'll keep an eye on this.

I think his point is the unit is airtight "waterproof" and no air circulation compared to other phone thus heat accumulate faster.

The idea that there's room inside any smartphone or tablet for air to circulate, is pretty wild. Rather than convection, phone chipsets are cooled via software (controlling clock speeds), conduction and a little radiation.

I am facing this problem from starting and
After using any application for 10 min phone is getting heated up
Full battery of charge giving me only 4 hours of life to my phone

i had a working 32gb scandisc sd card..and today after playing TDKR for like 40 minutes the device really heated up and after quitting the game i had a notification stating that i have to format the sd..took it out and put it in again it didnt see it at all..even my pc dont see my sd card.. could the sd card get damaged because of the heat ????

Flash memory is actually quite resistant to heat, and the amount of heat generated by your phone shouldn't be enough to kill it. Take your card out and clean the golden fingers (contacts) with a pencil eraser or rubbing alcohol to see if it's a contact problem. Heat may have accelerated corrosion on the gold plated contacts, but that's just an extreme scenario. If this doesn't work, your card is probably dead if you can't format it or find it under disk management...

Heating up at the top area is normal, especially under warmer climates. As glass is a better conductor of heat than plastic, it's actually helping to dissipate the heat faster.
As for your battery life, 4hrs seems pathetic, unless it was under continuous nonstop use with screen on and performing battery eating tasks. It should survive for ~5hrs under continuous, intensive use. Ymmv, of course, depending on other factors such as screen brightness/network type/signal strength/WiFi...

Liquid cooled :3

Worse thing is playing a game for 20mins then getting a call.
Hope the heat doesn't give me a tumor.

First of all, using the phone while charging will obviously make it heat up like hell. Please be aware of that, and that its not recommended to do so.
Secondly, for the guy whose battery was draining while charging via USB, the USB port might not be feeding up all the milliamps the Xperia Z needs to be charged. Try with a USB 3.0 port or make sure you're using a port that provides more than the standard 500ma a USB 2.0 port provides.
@off
If you think the Xperia Z heats up, this is because you've never used an Sony Ericsson Satio.

Z's battery ..post your results

I use my z less often and if I play temple run for 5 minutes , it drains nearly 4% of the battery..is it normal? And it doesnt charge in half an hour as said n the box..even with phone switched off..
Others please post your battery status

I had a couple of 4hrs screen time (data only) on the last firmware but on. 434 i never have..max was 3hrs40 mins but note this was all data with no Wi-Fi whatsoever..

I love my XZ, BUT the terrible battery life is getting to me. I am not a heavy user but I don't make it to the end of the day. And then it takes forever and ever to charge.
I am very disappointed with the phone in that respect, and if I would have realized this before I bought it, I would have probably not bought this phone.

Good Sony good.

use Stamina mode
battery is still problem with all smartphones
S III worked even worse for me
it used 10% after full charging in standby mode after few minutes But
xperia Z s using 0 % in more than 2hrs in standby mode
try to manage ur background apps.
i recommend to use xperia app manager and don use another task manager and etc.

re: Battery
I have an Acro HD, Galaxy Note, Sharp SH003, Sony Mini, and the Z. I don't see that the Z's battery is all that worse than the others. I leave WiFi on all the time for all of them (so I don't need to pay or care about data plans...)
Specifically, I usually watch TV for an hour on the way to work and another hour on the way home (the hardware 1seg feature or Hulu type service).
I may play with it sometimes during the day. I leave Skype, Groove IP, and some Japanese VOIP apps running all day too, and I don't charge it until I get home.
Even so, I get home and my battery is over 40-50%.
So obviously it's not that bad.
The note is better because it has a bigger battery I think. The iPhone is better because.. well you can't *have* stuff like Skype run reliably in the background.
Of course according to Sony's white paper, the processor is quad core, but the cores are powered up and down as needed. If you play heavy games or something it may power up all four cores and kill the battery faster.

new experiment :
Phone is well and good in deep sleep.
I charged my battery to 100 yday night, and didnt use anything.it barely used power...now my battery is on 99 today morning
May be devs should include fast charge support and other battery tweaks to make it interesting..sony cant be very confident about their software and give us a low capacity battery..hope there ll b a battery wid good capacity available on ebay which we could replace..

Phone shuts down around 15%

Hi guys,
Since a few days my phone powers off when de battery is around 15%. And when i charge the phone again it starts charging at 15%. I repaired the software but that didnt help. Any ideas how to fix this? I am not rooted and im not planning to do that with this phone.

Just charge the device to full capacity and don't restart it. This behaviour is normal.
Each restart or time spent in recovery, breaks remaining capacity estimation.
Full charge repairs it again.

Out of curiosity, is this a software problem, a hardware problem, or a Sony is really bad at making phones problem? My first Xperia TL by them bricked itself less than a week after purchase, and now I am having this same problem with my new device ever since the update to Jellybean. I have this device through AT&T, could it be their fault? My problems with my Galaxy Note were their fault so I wouldn't be surprised.

You may notice a pattern, if its a feature of every you phone you have its a feature of the phones.
This issue has been discussed repeatedly, its all to do with the way the phone calculates the charge and its not really an accurate picture of the power in your phone. Thats why some people ave noticed their percentage going up whilst not on charge.
I suggest you just use your phone as normal for a week, (I.e no flashing etc) and let it go through several full charge, this always settles the battery stats out.
Also, the new bateries we have prefer to be on charge, so whenever posoble leave it plugges in and NEVER let it discharge, the new batteries dont like that

Try calibrate the battery Go on Google Play and search for "Battery Calibration"

Mine was doing that too. You SHOULD read this post just in case http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355862

How I calibrate my battery:
I made sure my phone is unable to be turned on again by making sure it has no battery left. Charge it without turning it on for 3 hours.

First using Xperia z - Charge full or for 30 min?

Basically as the title says, there's a sticker on the back of the xperia saying charge for 30 minutes, though a lot of people say too charge a phone fully when using it for the first time, so what do you guys recommend for a fresh Xperia z? I don't want to degrade the battery on the first use lol.
Greatly appreciated,

It doesn't matter one bit. How would 1 charge ruin your battery? How would 1 time not charging your battery ruin it?
Next time plox use the search button, this device has been out since February, so the chances are pretty big that one or multiple people already asked the same question.
