Hi guys,
I think I have a new Xperia Z situation to report:
After getting water into the USB port and spending a few days drying out the phone, I now get symptoms cannot find in any other XDA thread:
- When I hold volume button UP while connecting the USB port, it quickly flashes RED and then stays BLUE, also after releasing the volume button. When I disconnect the cable the LED light goes off again
- When I just connect the USB without holding any button, the LED goes RED.
- While the LED is RED, I can hold the power + volume UP buttons simultaneously and then release the power button to change to BLUE.
But regardless what I do there are no life signs in Flashtool
Other symptoms:
In the cradle, the LED has gone from RED to ORANGE to GREEN, indicating full charge. But when connecting the charger directly to the USB port it just flashes 1x RED and 1x GREEN sub-second before it goes off. So it seems it doesn't charge through the USB port but only through the cradle.
The phone is turned off and does not react to the power button. Have pressed power, and power + volume up button, but without the usual vibration responsiveness.
I have tried to connect to the phone using Flashtool. Following tips from other threads I've tried both latest version & Beta 4, Multiple USB ports, etc.
But the phone never gets identified through the USB port.
The phone should be 100% dry now after multi-day rice bag + cold air hair dryer treatments. But I'm afraid I might have I tried to force it back on too early, perhaps before all water was out...
Still with the LED indicator showing a little sign of life, would you say there's a chance to rescue it?
All ideas and advice much appreciated.

The water might of caused a short circuit somewhere in the phone which has caused the bugs so drying it might not repair the damage, how long has the phone been dry for? Hopefully some1 has had the same issues and solved it somehow.

i have a problem like that when i had water damage the power button didn't work anymore and the volume + works as volume and power button...very very strange
My Htc one switched off after running out of battery a week ago and now will not turn on. When its on charge the led light at the top would just flash red, I've had it plugged into two different wall chargers for more than a day each but none would do the trick and I've also done all the other things I saw on other threads like shining it under a bright light whilst holding down the volume down and power button ect... , and repeatedly pressing the power button. Also when I connect it to my laptop it makes the noise that I've plugged it in but it will not pick it up :crying: Can someone please help me out here with any methods/ways of getting my phone to switch on and connect to my laptop (my phone is rooted and I can't send it back)
Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:
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.

Hi all,
I have ARHD 92 rom on my HTC one m7. Since yesterday my phone had a couple of random reboots. Today, it turned off while I was working on something and now it wont turn on. The charging light doesnt come up when I connect to a charger ( i have tried a car charger, a pc through usb, wall charger and a portable charger). When I connect it to the pc, i hear the sound that means windows detected something.
I have tried, the bright light to proximity sensor and many key combinations like power + vol up, power + vol down, power + vol up + vol down, all for extended durations.
Anything else that I could try?
Thanks
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.
