[Q] Xperia TX problem? Please help me!!!!

Hi everyone, I purchased my Xperia TX 2 months ago in Singapore and now I return to my home country- Vietnam. My phone was working good till last week.
I was surfing via 3G on my phone and i remember it was 3% battery left and then BANGGG...My phone turned black and i though it was out of battery.
Then I charged it on wall socket as usual and saw the red notification light as usual but it disappeared after a while. I couldnt turn it on anymore. I charged it for 4 hours and the screen kept the same.
I have tried to press "power +up/down volume" keys and its still frozen. Only the red light vibrates and nothing more.
I DIDNT unlock the boot loader, water, or drop it. I use my phone for daily uses and usually connect with the Sony Companion so I make sure again its not rooted yet.
Finally, I bring it on the customer service and they said its because of my fault to unplugged it when flashing ROM bla bla bla. i though Its because they have not seen any problem like this before since Xperia TX has not been released in Vietnam yet and they could not turn the phone on or connect it to PC. So, I left it there this morning and wait for the result.:crying:
Does anyone have the same problem with me? Is it the hardware or software problem? Is it the Sleep of Death (SOD) mentioned in some thread here? PLEASE show me how to fix it!

Have you tried taking out the battery, wait awhile and put it back again and plug the phone for charging again?
But since it's already in the service center, no need to worry, they can repair whatever the problem is.

you should have tried the backup and restore app of Sony bro, copy the backup to your PC and then restore it later after your phone got back from service center
anyways, next time try that app, it saves a lot of time
and about service center, they are quite very good in service quality

Yesterday i tried removing the battery and it was no use. I am mad because i just lightly used the product for less than 2 weeks, took good care of it, and wont be able to return it because I am in another country. So that is 539 USD wasted.

Hey, anything could solve this problem?

As many threads about this (Or a similar problem) suggest you just need to leave you rphone on charge for at least 24 hours. Use a wll charger not a USB.
Do not touch the phone in this time, just wait. If after this it does not charge, it appears your battery is FUBAR'd

Hey, device more than 24 hours when there is no change, still red light. I had some battery nothing helps. Help please what can be done? Thank you.

Do you know someone else with a phone that yu could borrow their battery to see?
I take it you have checked whether the charger works and tried other chargers?
Another trick I have heard of in the old X10 forum is to cut the end of your charger lead and directly put red wire onto positive end of battery and black wire onto the negative end and charge the battery that way. But do this at your own risk. I have no way of knowing if this will work on the TX and it may even make the battery worse....but for a last chance it may be worth a go.
Edit
Also, its not yet been 24 hours since my post saying leave it plugged in for 24 hours...so maybe following instructions to the letter is something to go with in the future...

Hey, thanks for the experience to help and sorry for publication in both forums. I just gave up. I tried another battery I have another battery ... Did not work I think just the CPU burned or something? Sony is waiting for a reply on the matter. Unfortunately I did not buy the device in my country is not out here so I'm not sure I'd have a warranty. Thanks again

Got the same problem. No one can resolve this, and Sony refusing to repair a month old phone if you bought it not in your country. What a shame.
Bought new phone instead of bricked one.

Please don't even attempt to change the screen yourself. Give the phone to HTC, they'll repair it. They'll charge, but its much better than trying to do it yourself

I can't send it back as it as no screen on it at all the person I bought it off as all ready attempted to open it and when I had a look the cables were broke. I only got it cheap so I thought I would have a try at fixing it my self. You can see where they have tried to force it open and when i got the screen off one of the cables was snapped

Hmmm, I think HTC will just charge extra because the phone has been opened. But I don't think they will deny repairing it. See if they are willing to do it

I have just done that but the best they could tell me was send it in and wait for a quote and either send it back unrepaired for £27 or to dispose the device free of charge. Just dont know if its worth it though as i remember a few years ago sending my sensation in and because the screen had a little crack in it they wanted £200 just to fix the screen
Thanks replaced the screen and working great so far

Can you get in recovery? Maybe you can charge the phone from there

I think the first paragraph meant :" buy from those whose screens are damaged and want to sell off cheap" - get their motherboards
[I think his second paragraph is his sig but not properly separated from the message]

I'm late, if it happens again you try to hold down the reset button on the back of the sp to vibrate 3 times. I happened the same thing to you and this solve my problem very easily. Your SP was on all the time until the battery ended and reset, at this point he returns to charge normally.

Battery health very poor?

Hello !
I think my battery is close to giving his last amps, my Z can't manage to stay powered on without a charger for more then 5 minutes, If I'm lucky and don't put too much of a load on the battery it stays on a little longer and I can actually listen to music on the train. But whenever I open snapchat or the camera for example, my phone crashes immediately and I can't turn my phone on without using a charger, it just keeps looping right after recovery. The weird thing is that in recovery he can stay on until the battery is actually depleted, so I also already tried to completely drain the battery and then charge him to 100% without disconnecting, but same thing.
I thought the problem was lollipop related but sadly enough it's not, going back to kitkat and reflashing my kernel(which is just flashing boot.img in fastboot, right?) didn't work.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for replying, reflashed to 10.5.1.A.0.292 but no luck there either, phone just requires a charger to function properly.
I guess it's hardware related

Yes it is. If you have the problem on any ROM, relock your bootloader if it's unlocked, flash a stock unrooted ROM and send your phone to repair (if you still have the warranty, it must be repaired for free). Or you can order a battery from aliexpress and change it yourself (personally I don't recommend this).

Sorry for the late reply, but just heard from repair service they can't repair it because of a shatter in the back glass, pretty lame because I've had that for a year now and my phone worked fine until now.
Should I look out for dodgy sellers on AliExpress? because the batteries are all pretty cheap, I'll probably get a new back glass as well since it's so cheap.
I've got a fair amount of knowledge when it comes to electronics so switching a battery won't be that much of a problem I think? Or was that not the reason why you didn't recommend it?

Yeah that's why I didn't recommend it. It is not that easy to change the battery yourself. Don't forget to buy the glue necessary to put the glass cover back (I think some sellers include this glue with the back cover if you buy a new one). And regarding the dodgy thing, yeah look out from who you buy before doing it.

not a solution, as I did it already twice, after a week or two you need to do the same. Probably the only option is to change the motherboard.

Hello i had same problem with phone. Totally dead, then i read on forum that it is probably pmi8994 chip on motherboard that was defected. I order that chip from aliexpress( must know what version is chip on your phone). Mine was pmi8994 002. I paid 8$ on aliexpress for two of them(you need only one) and 35$ for replacement. After replacement it come alive and working fine more than half year. I hope this will help.

It was suddenly power off and didn't want to turn on. I put it on charger (before failure battery was around 70%), but it didn't power on and notification light for charging was very dim and blinking. Then i check my domestic forum and got solution from one user who had same problem.

How did you change the chip? I saw a video on Youtube that describes the procedure of changing a chip, and looks like it is definitely nothing for laymen.
