try turning your phone off then flug the charger in untill the charging icon pops up after the "m"
Then while the charger is plugged in, remove the battery
You will see a "?" Sign
Then put the battery back in
Hope that helps

hi,t traied that before but not working.thanks

in the end, buy a new battery and remove the headache ...

You should try to charge the battery by a different method if you can, then put it in your phone and see if it charges the battery. but you can also find a battery replacement on amazon for like 5 bucks... i dont think its the battery though, its probably the phone if its not charging the battery. batteries will just get worst and not hold a charge when they go bad, i haven't had one not charge at all. ive been through 5 or 6 of them on the D1.

[SOLVED] Battery Problem or Short Circuit?

good day fellow xda members, i just need advice regarding my note..
Situation:
1. The phone screen flickers and shuts down when using WIFI and listening to MUSIC at the same time.
2. If I use the phone for MUSIC ONLY, the phone doesn't turn off.
3, If I connect the phone to a wall charger, it doesn't turn off..
4.If I turn the phone on, the battery percentage is almost the same before it turned off.
additional info: the phone is 1 year old. and i reflashed it to FULL STOCK
My question now, is this a simple battery problem where i only need to replace the battery? Or the phone is short circuit? AFAIK. short circuit happens when the phone is submerged to water.
I'm asking this question because one store here sells genuine battery BUT they don't offer warranty... sick right??
any comment or suggestion??
UPDATE:: I recently got a new battery, its a genuine 2500 mah battery from Samsung and it costs around 1690 in Philippine peso or around $40 in USD....
and it magically cured all problems..
if you found this thread after google searching, I'm glad to help...

Hi, why did you mentioned water problem, did your phone came in contact with water. If so or if you think your phone got any humidity, try to remove it. There are some posts how to do it. 2. Try with another battery (your friends), see the problems remain or solved. 3. Try a good GB rom, stock or custom (before you buy a new battery).

thanks for posting.... and happy holidays man...

+1 for trying a new battery. Ask sorts of problems charging, dying, etc, was exactly one year old and only very slight bulge (have you checked yours?) And replacing with Anker 2700 mah from Amazon cured all.

How strange is this ... so Basically the stock battery that Samsung sells does not last more than a year ???
a lot of users who purchased it more than a year ago are having the same flickering issue ... that is sad.. Bad SAMSUNG

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.

Battery Instability

Nowadays I have a weird problem. Even though I fully charge my phone, it behaves like battery is empty. It happens in two way:
1. After some usage, it can occur at 15%.
2. While showing battery is charged enough, you restart the phone. It starts as ciritical battery level.
3. For case 1, it can happen at higher levels as well. Screen starts flickering then phone shutsdown suddenly.
I tried calibration apk. I suspect it caused some problem also.
My system was stock 4.1.2 leak. I thought it may be reason, so I downgraded to ICS. But, I still have same problem...
Any1 has an idea? Battery or phone has problem or not?

May be time to get a new battery

I opened back cover now. I am very surprised. Battery got deformed. Middle part became thicker. It cannot fit to battery slot.
I think god saved me. It could explode.
This turned from question to possible Samsung defect. So, I am agree originally I made wrong choice. But, this topic is suitable for here in the light of my new finding.

I have the exact same problem! Been wanting to change the battery but haven't found it. If you buy a new battery and everything comes back to normal, please let us know!

I have same issue as OP. My screen starts to flicker at 15% as if it's about to lose power any second.
Happens with OEM battery as well as two aftermarket hyperion batteries.

Same here.. my batterry was a little bulged at the middle and i thought it is still ok.. then it started acting up..
-It says fully charged on the battery indicator while turned off and charging
- when I turn it on, it says 50%..
- when I get to recovery (philZ stock kernel recovery) it says 1%
Then it got worse and wont turn on when unplugged... Bought a battery at our local samsung store and all the problems went away!

Awesome!! That's what I wanted to know! Now I'll look for the battery.
Does anybody know why this happens?

I had this issue last month. Changed to Mugen battery. Everything's good now.
All the symptoms described here are dying battery issues. Have them replaced before your note dies.

I was unaware of this situation and I downgraded by JellBean to first GB, then ICS. I am lucky it did not shutdown during firmware install.
I went to some official Samsung technical service. They will give me a new battery soon. I am using my Sony Ericsson Walkman series phone Luckily I have iPad with cellular. Now, I will just wait and I will hope everything will be ok.

I bought a 7000 mAh battery on ebay. It's awesome! No problem now. My battery last all day :good:

I am not going to answer that here as you sent me a PM that I have answered and its been written in this thread twice already,

I know that if put in water, it cools, but 3 or 5 minutes playing games it gets hot, even playing FruitNinja I want to know if you have any rom or fix to stop this overheating

It's normal on a very slim and sexy phone
I have the TX and it heats up on games and also whenever I'm on 3G. Just get used to it. The worst thing that can only happen is it will reboot once it reaches a certain temperature threshold, that's a fail safe feature of most phones.
PS, believe me, I also had an Xperia Arc(now sold to a friend) and it heats up way way more than my TX and guess what? It is still alive even after 3 years, he's still using the phone with no problem at all.
