Hello!
My phone Sony Xperia T 4.3 running working fine until today my battery was at 1% and I forgot to charge it.
So when I came back to my phone it had restarted time and time again, so I plugged in charger and it still does the same.
My power button does not work on this phone.
What's happening is phone switches off and red light remains while charging but battery does not seem to charge, then after about 5-10 mins the phone restarts itself and shuts down because the battery is too low....
What can I do apart from getting a new battery?
Thanks

If it were my phone, I'd take the phone apart and keep the power button pressed with something, or charge the battery with an external universal charger, probably something like this.

Hi.
My power button does not work.
The battery is fixed inside the phone so how to charge externally?
Thanks
Can you enter recovery?
If yes, try to do so and let it charge. Or, select the reboot bootloader option, if it exists. ^^

You're right, I keep forgetting there are phones with non-removable batteries .
What I meant was that I'd try to press the internal function of the power button, not the plastic button on the outside. What that is is just a piece of plastic that presses the real power button on the mainboard inside, which can usually be pressed with a pin, or a pen.

Well luckily I got a friend who has a Xperia T and I asked whether I could borrow his phone for like 2 hrs..He said yes!
I just opened the back cover of both phones, connected the battery lead from my phone to my friends phone / charged my battery for 2 hours and voila!:victory:
Never gonna let this happen again, close one!:fingers-crossed:

My power button does not work even if you press inside on the mainboard.

Well, as long as you can disconnect your battery terminals from your phone, and connect their negative and positive poles properly to the charger, it will charge almost any battery. I have a similar one (not that exact same one) with which I've charged all types of batteries; depending on the mAh, it will take different amounts of time, depending also on the battery capacity. All you have to do is move the charger pins to fit the type of battery you're trying to charge.

All I did was connect the battery cable lead to the other phone. Not the whole battery it self.

I don't see why not, as long as the leads are connected correctly to the positive and negative poles.
I had that problem yesterday, I solved just opening the back cover and unplugging the internal battery for 2 minutes: when replugged, it started charging normally.

Hey Guys,
Before going to sleep last night I connected my Xperia 1 with the original SE Charger. Today it doesn't do anything.
I already removed the battery for a few minutes and tried the battery of a friend's X1. But it still doesn't boot.
Any ideas?
Is there a red light by the power button when you try to charge it?
no there isn't even a red light
maybe try taking battery out, charging the phone itself for about 15 minutes. then after that, put the battery in again to try to power it up.
when you charge the phone without the battery, the red light on the power button should be turned on. if not, i'm guessing there might be a possible short circuit.
IF it is a short circuit in your phone, then you will have to send it back to sony ericsson to get it fixed.
same problem

Good morning friends. I too had the same problem. the phone wont start up in the morning.... However, after 3 hours, i tried connecting the phone to the charger and then pressed the power button,,, to my surprise the phone started up. But, the battery is completely drained and its at level 0. I wonder how does this happen. I have kept the phone for charging for whole night but the charge remains 0. I doubt the battery. can any one help?

No brother, i charged through sony ericsson original charger. However, i was doing the same since i bought it.... But it was a one time go and after that this issue didnt turned back. The small remedy for this is take out the battery and, press and hold the power button to drain the static charges present in the circuits of the phone(These static charges are formed due to regular use of phone without soft resetting it(once in every two days)) . Once the phone is free from static charges wait for some time and then put on the battery in the phone and then try to turn on the phone... Believe me, it worked... This is not a phone for me... its a mini laptop integrated to a phone.
There are several threads about this. Search for the "xperia broken red light under the power buttonb" thread, it is very good and has many solutions.

Hi there,
yesterday I removed the battery of my mobile to replace it with
a charged one. Since then the phone is "dead". I cannot start it
anymore. No reactions on pluggin in the charger, no charging symbol,
nothing. Also no reactions on 3-button-mode.
Does anybody have any ideas what might have happend?
Thanks for any support,
Grobie
try a long press on the power button. sometimes it will kick in after about 30 seconds to a minute. It did for me once
Did you try putting your old battery back in?
Double check battery contacts/pins on phone to make sure that they haven't been damaged?

Thank you guys!
I do have 3 (original Samsung) batteries and an external charger.
The batteries are all charged and in good shape. I don't think this
is the problem. In addition the phone stays "dead" even when connected
to the AC charger. No charging symbol.
The contacts are all fine, no damages. I checked that out.
Long press of power button (and 3-buttons) also did not work.
Any further suggestions?
Cheers,
Grobie

If the battery is faulty, the phone wont turn on even when the charger is connected. Replace the battery with the one you got when you purchased the phone.

See my previous post.. I do have THREE original Samsung batteries.
Of course I tested the phone with all of them, but the SGS just doesn't
want to kick in.

Sorry to hear that,
Are you 100% positive that the battery charged with the external charger are fully charged? (maybe the charger himself is dead?) A voltmeter should assure that.
If the external charger and batt are ok, try to let your SGS without any batt in during 24hrs and see what you get.
Otherwise be ready to rma it.
GL.
Yes, the batts are 100% okay, I put them into another phone, they work fine.
I'll check out your last suggestion and let you know.
Thanks so far!
Cheers,
Grobie
Remove MicroSD card and SIM then while holding the on button replace the battery.
My battery drains normally until about 30% then the phone switches off without warning and will not switch on again until I connect it to a charger. Well it does switch on but shuts itself down before completely booting.
After connecting to a charger, it then reports it has 1% battery and is charging.
I'm guessing there is some issue with the battery calibration, how do I fix this?
Any help appreciated.

I have tried this app TWICE, issue now worse, shutting off around 50%
I never had any issues with that app, but try hardware calibration then. The battery calibration starts with the phone completely off. The steps are as follows: Charge the device for at least 10 minutes using the original charging cable in a wall outlet. With the device powered off while still plugged into the wall outlet, press and hold the volume up, volume down and power button for two full minutes. Use three fingers to hold these buttons and do not let go at any time. They will be held in at the same time for this to work. After two minutes, you can let go. At this point, the device should boot up and battery/charging logic will be re-calibrated.

Doesn't matter. It's important only to keep your phone on charge at least 10 minutes.

You can use calibration battery app to fix this
Battery completely discharged and now the phone does not charge, there is not even LED indicator light. I have tried all suggested button pressing combinations, taking battery out, etc. — to no avail. The firmware is original, without rooting. Charger works fine.
Before the battery discharged, there was a notice on the phone that an update was available — I ignored it while roaming — could that be the problem?
Shall appreciate any suggestions.

Plug it in and leave it for some time. The led takes a little time to light up. If it doesn't work then as long as your charger is ok the battery have died. Either buy a new battery or buy a new phone.

Do you get any lights?
Is it warm down the bottom where the charger is?
Can you try another outlet/cable or test the charger,cable on another phone?
If there is enough juice try this.
*#*#7378423#*#*
It will bring up a service menu, click service tests and there should be one for battery, it will tell you if its charging or not or if the battery is unhealthy.

thanks for your help, when its connected to charger the light comes but after two second its gone, i have tried different chargers but no use and phone is not warm while continuously connected with charger
To that I'd say it could be:
>USB port, might have crap in it or be faulty
>Battery, the battery on mine got replaced when i got my cracked screen fixed.
Are you able to do a factory reset?

i did what you suggested, and its says battery is healthy no need to replace it
OK I' d say it would be the changing port. Might have to take it to get it inspected and a quote, see if its worth fixing it.

maybe try magnetic charger anyway it is a lot better (my opinion) cause you dont have to open the waterprotectors every time you wanna charge
