I hate making new threads but I just had to:
Okay so first my problem:is that the phone is dead. I used it till it drained and now it refuses to start. The red light comes on but battery does not seem to charge fast enough and once it acquires the minimal charge, it spontaneously reboots and wastes that battery. Then I am back to square one. This keeps on happening. It has become really annoying.
I have read many threads. Actually I spent the last two hours or so trying various things. So if someone can tell me a solution, it would be great!
Any help is appreciated because I am helpless right now.
The first thing to do/try is to charge it for at least 24hs without touching it, just let it charge. Then try to turn it on.

I tried. It charges a little and it turns itself on and burns out the charge. But I fixed it! After a lot of time!
Thank you for your interest. I will hit thanks later since I am on my limit.

I've got this exact problem and I've tried all the 'fixes' google has to offer and none work. When I plug it in to charge no light comes on the only way to get it to charge is to hold VOL UP while pressing the Power button. You then have to hold the power button down to keep the charging light lit. However, once it has enough juice to boot it does just that (because the power button is held I guess) It boots all the way into Android and then shuts down because it does not have enough power (and isn't detecting the USB power).
How did you fix yours?
EDIT: FYI My Xperia T has not been rooted and is running the latest official firmware 4.3.

OK I've tried that and it's still not charging (no red light). The battery is definitely flat as I get no lights at all when pressing the power button without it being connected to power. I can only get the power light to come on by holding the power button. It's been sat here connected to the charger for 2 hours. Going to try the rubber band trick again (holding the power button down).
2 hours charging is definitely not long enough. Just let it charge for 24 hours and don't mess with it in the mean time.

OK I got the usual power up and instant power down because of low power. However I've banded the power button and the Vol Up buttons and it appears to be accepting charge without starting the phone. I'm going to leave it charge overnight hopefully it wont continuously boot cycle... Balls as I wrote this it had been charging for the longest time yet (about 40 mins) still not enough to get ti to boot android without instantly shutting down

It did charge for 24Hours no change, so then I tried (as advised elsewhere) to charge it again this time I waited 2 hours expecting the red light to come on but nothing...
The advice was charge for 24hours - no light shows as the battery is now discharging. The battery was totally flat this afternoon (no blinking lights when pressing power). Then disconnect the power and try and charge it, it should now show it's charging but it never did, maybe I should have waited longer.

OK the final 'fix' I found while googling this was to take the back off and disconnect the battery. This seems to have worked immediately my phone showed a red light and then booted up showing the battery charging symbol on screen - a welcome sight!

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
I was flashing my Xperia T with flash tool and there was an error. Now I can't turn on my phone. The red led is blinking while trying to power it on. Vol up + power on also doesn't work (red led blinkinking). When connecting to pc flashtool stops on "For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode". What can I do?
First try to charge it for a few hours to see if it comes back, then you can try to repair via PC Companion or flash again

Already tried that and it's the same.
Yur battery is empty. You need to recharge. So open phone take battery out and charge it external. When battery is full just flash normal.
That is the reason why you should only flash if battery > 50%

He has a T so the battery is not removable....(Not without difficulty anyway)
Just leave it plugged in for several hours, or even better overnight. That should do it, and if it does not, then try and remove the battery
Now the red led is switching on/off every few minutes while on charger.
Just leave it it will boot soon

I have opened the back cover, disconnected the battery and after few minutes i have put the phone on charging. Red light appeard but after a while it went off again so i have measured the voltage. It's going from around 3.08V (red led off) to about 3.25V (red led on) and after that point red led is off, the battery is discharging and the process starts again. What can I do?
when did you do this?
Did you follow the advice above? In all cases I have heard of this leaving the phone on charge for 24 hours has fixed it. Plug it in, leave it alone, come back tomorrow and try to turn it on. (Maybe even hole power and volume up together untill it vibrates 3 times and then turn on)
Yes, I was charging it more than 24h and it was the same. I think I need to charge the battery external.
give it a go, and if you have the battery off you may even try and change it.
Thats what i told you. You cannot leave it charging. Chargemon is a software which can only start idf ROM is ok.
Just takr out battery and buy a cheap chinese external charger. I know R has builtin battery but it is no problem at all.
You REALLY have to charge it with external charger or another Phone with working software

Hey Guys,
yesterday my Touchpad was shut down because the battery was empty. So I charged it over the night. But today morning it isnt starting like the other times. The homebutton is flashing from left to right... Home + Power button dont work. Sometimes if I do the trick "cable in, power and homebutton holding, cable out still holding" came the battery with the question mark for 0,5 seconds... Is it dead?...
Charger is hp original. Cable not.
please help...

No it's not dead. We're lucky, the tp is hard to kill, thanks to webos .
Charge the tablet to 100%. Use the wall charger. If you have a touchstone, you can use that too.
You might have to leave it charging for 24 + hours.
Once charged, hold power and volume up buttons together till you get the screen with the usb symbol. Once you have that, follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426244
It's a pita, but it works. If you have a problem with novaterm, there's a good workaround on page 12.
Good luck.
Thanks for your answer. How I can know if my tp is fully charged?
And the combination dont work. No reaction.

You have to let it charge for a long time. It takes a real long time to recharge after it's gone to empty.
Make sure the charger is alright (sometimes all it needs is a twist to set it right).
If you can, change the cable.
The tp will be charged enough when pressing the power and volume up buttons together brings up the usb symbol (webos recovery). Hold them for over 15 secs.
Good luck.

The home button flashing left to right means the battery is charging but has insufficient charge to boot.
You need a charger, preferably the original one, but any mains/AC charger that kicks out 2A at the right voltage will do.
Leave the TP charging and eventually it should automatically boot into the default OS - may need 24 hours or more...
Cheers
Seems I cannot find any other people asking this question
Basically I have Nook HD+ rooted and CM10.1 and it works great. I have google market on there and the original Nook OS has been sent to the nether region of hell where it belongs. So it's a pretty decent basic android tablet.
But when I let the battery go to zero and it shuts itself down, it seems that it doesn't turn back on so easily.
I'll charge it overnight and then attempt to power it on, but it doesn't do anything. I see the screen backlight come on but no "nook" logo.
So then I try plugging it back in and hold power and the "n" for 10 secs or so. I'll see the screen turn off.. I'll do that a few more times and finally I see the dead battery logo show up..even tho I charged it all night.
So then I let it charge a bit longer and try again with it still plugged in and finally it turns on.
I was just wondering if others saw this and if there was some proper method I should be using to restart it to avoid this.
Yeah, my nook was doing that same thing for a while. Now though, I let the battery die and I can't get the thing to turn on at all. No backlight lights up, no battery charge icon, the thing's led just glows green for 2 secs then flickers to orange and stays orange for a few secs and then the led turns off. No matter how long I hold the power button or the power plus nook button, nothing happens. I hope my tablet isn't dead forever. Anybody else have this problem and find a way of fixing it?

I also forget to charge mine and it got discharged. I charged it for a bit but couldn't power on. When I plugged the power cable it showed orange light. After changing the power socket and repeatedly press power button for like 7 secs it turned on with 28%. I'm Using CM10.2.

Just keep trying.. i noticed my backlight was so dim that i wasn't sure it was on either until i turned off all lights... then after holding power for like 12 secs i saw it go even darker so I know my backlight was on now.. but like you said.. no logo. Just extrem0 said.. you gotta keep playing with it, unplug it, plug it in again, etc.. it's really hokey. I've been sure to keep it charged up since my last post so I am just avoiding the problem. But it is stopping me from recommending a modded nook to my friends and family because the first time this happens they will come crying to me to help them.

I also have this problem on my Nook HD+. I don't think there is a solution for it, so I'm going for a warranty.
However, before you go for a warranty; flash the stock ROM back on. You're probably think how do I do this with no battery? Well, once your Nook boots up, your tablet will not charge at all. So, we need to charge your Nook whilst it's powered off. Again, how do I go about this? Well, turn on your Nook charger from the wall socket, but do not plug it into your Nook yet. Now, hold the power button on your Nook (ensure that your have no battery at all, and that your Nook does nothing when you hold the power button). Whilst holding the power button on your Nook, plug in your charger. It should turn green, then turn orange. It should stay like this for a while.
Give it a couple of hours, and it should charge up to around ~60% (you may be lucky if it charges more). With that much battery, put the Stock ROM back on and go for a warranty. Don't rely on this method for too long, as with time it will also stop charging with this method. At the moment, it will not charge when the Nook is turned on. Go for a warranty whilst you still can.
All the best.

You might wanna try another usb cable or another charger. Just in case one of them is broken. I had that a while ago and discovered that it was my cable. Good luck,
I sometimes have the same issue. I wake up in the morning just to find out that my HTC one hasn't charged although the charger is connected and the led is red.
Try this:
Try resetting the charging mode like this:
1. Turn phone OFF
2. Let charge for AT LEAST 10mins even if it doesn't look like it's charging
3. Press and hold POWER + VOL UP + VOL DOWN for AT LEAST 2mins. Anything less will not reset the charge mode.
4. After 2mins release the buttons and the phone should boot as normal.
re
sry guzzz ....nothing is working ...only red blinking light and after sometime a fade light battery icon comes n light becomes solid but it don't turn on thn......and after sometime blinking start again.....
Actually you phone's battery went down to the lowest level. You need to charge it for more than 4hrs.
When my ph switches off due to low battery and stays off for long time, then when i plugs charger, red led starts blinking for some time. After that it goes solid

So, do 1 thing. Take a transparent plastic box and pour rice in it and put ur phone in that box in that way so that your phone is covered by rice from all sides. Close the box from the top tightly.
Stay the phone in it for overnight. Next morning, take out your phone and plug the charger and check.
Actually, i read on gsmarena that water damaged phone can easily restore with the help of rice because rice soaks the water from phone.

Here's how I fixed my phone with the same issue after I left mine outside in the rain. I tried this:
1. Turn phone OFF
2. Let charge for AT LEAST 10mins even if it doesn't look like it's charging
3. Press and hold POWER + VOL UP + VOL DOWN for AT LEAST 2mins. Anything less will not reset the charge mode.
4. After 2mins release the buttons and the phone should boot as normal.
No luck here. So finally I did this.
1. Took back cover off very carefully.
2. Unscrew battery screws from motherboard. There's only 2
3.. cleaned all connectors from battery.
4. Screwed it back together.
Now my battery charges correctly.
Recalibrated battery. So far all is good.
