I still didn't get my OTA in Croatia so I decided to try this. I came across an issue which wasn't present in official 4.1.2. and maybe someone had (and still has) it as well. I'm posting this here so that it's easier to find if anyone has this issue and wants to fix it.
I have installed 4.3 on my Xperia T with Locked Bootloader and everything worked fine. However, I have come across a issue and managed to solve it as well. Here's what happened and how I solved it, maybe it helps someone with same problem.
Today my battery drained to 0% and the phone shut down. Now when I plug it in to wall socket to charge, red LED goes on and it turns the phone on. Once Android boots I can see 0% in status bar and it starts shutting down again. Then it boots up again and loops like that. I remember that on 4.1.2. there would be a battery icon when it was completely empty and it wouldn't boot the system. Now it just loops. This didn't happen on official 4.1.2.
I have Googled for solutions and have tried this.
"1. Press and hold down the power key on the right side of the phone. If the battery status LED flashes red, try plugging the charger into the phone at the same time as you are pressing and holding in the power key.
When plugging the charger into the phone there is a risk that nothing happens – no red battery status LED as indication of charging, or nothing appearing on the screen.
If the charging doesn’t start, follow the instructions under To let the charger be plugged in for 24 hours.
2. If the charging starts, keep charging the phone until it’s fully charged. Indication of charging is that the battery status LED lights up in red, or that the SONY symbol appears on the screen and then the LED lights up."
Problem was that when I left it to charge (screen off, LED red) it would start booting again after a few minutes. When it started to boot, I would press volume up + power key to shut it down and keep charging. I had to do this many times (10 to 15) and it was very frustrating but it worked in the end. I decided to let it boot and voilà! it showed 1% battery and didn't start shutting down. Now it's charged to 2% and keeps on charging.
The lesson - don't EVER let your Xperia discharge below 1%, you'll have a world of problems.
I have the exact same problem, except that it doesn't even charge when my screen is off.
Great find! I used a separate way to get it to charge but I can assure you it gave me a world of pain! Thank you for sharing
What about the Xposed module DisableCriticalBatteryShutdown?
If or devices were no longer turning off again after booting when battery is 0%, the problem would be fixed, right?

My phone battery died and the phone got switched off, now its not switching on even after charging through wall charger. When I try to reset the phone by pressing volume up + power on button/volume up+down+power on button after about few seconds the white screen with htc logo and powered by android comes up for few seconds and goes black again.
When I press volume up+Down+Power button for more time the white screen appears multiple times but phone doesn't boot. I can see the black screen battery charging animation, battery charge percentage and steady orange light when connected to the wall charger.
Please help me, if anybody has a solution to bring back the phone to life.
After few attempts of different combination of power up + volume down + volume up buttons I could get into the bootloader screen, when reboot and other options didn't work. I reset the phone and it came back to life, but lost all the data on the phone memory.
My N7000 turned itself off the other day without a battery warning.
Everytime I press the power button the Samsung Galaxy screen comes on and then turns itself off again.
Same if I try to go into recovery mode the android icon comes up and then it turns itself off.
The phone is stock standard no mods at all.
Battery says 100%.
Any help would be appreciated.
Try replacing your battery
Also check if your power button is stuck on pressed position.
i m using the Nokia 7 plus from more than one month,
its battery discharged completely to 0 for More than 2 times. In month

Hello everyone!
I was charging my phone last Wednesday night, last I checked was the battery was at 92% , then after 15-30 minutes I checked my phone again and I found out it was dead. I tried to charge it again, but it doesn't show or indicate that it was charging, I tried pressing the power button, but no display, I tried hard reset, and it displayed the logo for a while then go black again.
I tried charging it last Thursday evening and the phone suddenly blinks red light for about a minute or more, then no reaction at all.
I tried doing some combos from forums like :
Tried doing while charging press voldown + power button = blinks a red light once
Tried pressing voldown + volup + power button = nothing happened
Tried pressing voldown + power button for 15 secs, then volup + power button for 15 secs, then voldown + volup + power button for 15 secs, nothing happened.
I dunno what to do now, please help, service centres are I think closed here in Philippines due to some implementation of the government against COVID-19.

same situation Sir. Any update on your phone now? what measures did you do? thanks!
today my phone suddenly restart then freeze then restart then long beep for about 10 sec. then dead and can't be power on any more help
Same with me. My Phone suddenly froze, and couldn't turn off or close the game (Genshin Impact) and a high pitched noise was coming from the device.
I Tried to force it to shutdown, but then it can't be turned on at all
The phone itself can't be turned on at all UNTIL some point when the phone reach 0% Battery (yes, I don't even know when does my phone reach 0% Battery)
When the phone reach 0% Battery, you can charge your phone and get some small red light indicator response, BUT IT STILL WON'T TURN ON
Then, after some couple of minutes, the Small Light Indicator would be off, the phone would be look like they're fine, it will show the battery percentage as usual when you charge your phone when it shutdown. BUT IT'S NOT FINE YET.
When I tried to turn it on (no matter Via Long Press Power Button/Power Button + Volume), it would stuck at ROG Logo, then it completely shutdown and can't be turned on again.
