[Q] is my battery dead? Please help. - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I was using my XZ yesterday flawlessly and then out of no where it just turned off. I did everything I could find on the forums but it just sits there with the red Led permanently on. I left it charge overnight, when I woke up the led was green and the screen said it had a full charge. I turn it on, it gets to the lock screen and then shuts down again. It's sitting there again with the red led on as if the battery was drained completely in 1 min! What can I do about it? THANKS!

Hmm... Try doing this:
Get it charged till you get the led green, KEEP charging, and then turn it on. See if you can use it for 5 mins, 10 mins, even an hour. See if it turns off automatically. If it works fine while plugged, then that shouldn't be the problem of your ROM. Then, unplug the charger, and see if it shuts down soon. If it does, we can make sure it's the problem of your battery.

I'm gonna check that out thank you! .. and I'm pretty sure it's a ROM problem because it was fully charged and yet it shut down never to be woken up again til 5 min ago that I connected it to the PC and it briefly showed me the charging screen (battery completely drained) and then the Red Led came back on and the screen went away as soon as I disconnected it from the PC. I connected it to the wall charger but the screen didn't come on again. Thoughts about this? (also the computer briefly recognized the phone and then it didn't anymore) right now is plugged to the wall charger to see if the battery picks up, so I can proceed with all the flashing stuff.
What causes this type of problems? I really had high hopes with this phone, it's gorgeous to look at (the best design on a phone IMO) but it failed me

Tytn II possibly dead HELP!!!

It looks like my Tytn II might be bricked... I have searched and searched and can not find any info on this. The phone will not turn on. I know the battery is dead, but it should have the power to try to boot. In fact, I have not used it in a while and I just tryed to boot it, it got to the starting screen, then the windows loading screen, and then I walked away for a few minutes and came back it and it was a black screen. Tried to turn on again and it did not power up. Upon plugging it into the charger, I get a solid red light on the top. When I remove the battery from the phone as the charger is connected the LED immediately changes to solid orange, and the blue led next to it comes on as well. When I disconnect the charger all the LEDs go off (obviously because theres no battery) and when i put the battery back in the phone i get a dim red light.
is the phone bricked? im thinking it might have slight water damage but it has been like 2 weeks since then so it should have dryed up i assume. tried to reset a few times with the little reset button next to the charger port, nothing. is it possible the battery may just be done for? any help or suggestions would be great. thanks.
I had that isue but i just leaved the phone on charger and everything came back to normal It's still working very well. But, i cant remember how i get into that situation but i surely know that i saw red light on top .
thanks, now that its been on the charger for a while i now get an orange LED. i will let it charge for a while and see if it awakens after almost 3 weeks of utter deadness.
Try waking it while on charge itslef.
Regards.

just tried and it got to the very first boot screen and then went black and the orange and blue LEDs stayed on. tried to reset, no luck. unplugged charger, still LEDs stayed on. so then I took the battery out, all LEDs went out, plugged it back in and now i get the same red LED again.
update: now i get a orange LED as its plugged into the charger, but when i try to turn it on it gives the first boot screen for like 3 or 4 seconds then turns off...
I am getting exactly the same problem?
I tried to install android - got it working, came on a few times - then just totally died - It showt he HTC boot logo, but then just turns off.
Does anyone have any ideas.
does your computer see it when plugged in via usb?
perhaps this will help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358136
oh and also you have tried to enter the bootloader mode right?
I've had this issue, millions of times. What I do when I have problems like this (and problems like when I turn it on, it says the battery is low when it isnt, and when you connect your charger/USB, it dies on you)
Try removing and putting the battery back on.
so in simple words
charge the battery first (dont bother trying to turn it on)
and then remove the charger (this plays a big role)
take out the battery, put it back in, hope it works.
The same thing just happened to me, I thought it was toast. I would get the red light when I plugged into the charger, and after a few minutes it would turn to orange. I tried to turn it on then, and it would start to boot up, then shut off a few seconds later. This happened a few times. I just left it plugged in overnight, and when I woke up it was on! Only problem I've noticed is the orange LED is always on, but I can live with that

[Q] HTC One

I have an HTC One. I was using it normally today, but got home and it was one percent. I plugged it up to charge and went to check a notification I had, and it turned off. It has happened before, and the charge light was on and it went straight to the screen where it shows the red battery and percent below it. This was normal - like I said, it's happened to me before. Then, it completely turned off instead of charging. A short time later, the orange charging light went off.
I plugged it up into the wall as advised a forum I was looking at for this problem, and apparently it is a common thing with these phones. I've let it charge for about an hour and it still isn't turning on and both the charge light and the red LED light have not come on at all. I tried to trick where I held it under my lamp light and held the power button and both the up and down volume buttons but it still hasn't turned on. Maybe I just haven't left it plugged up long enough?
Any advice? I use my phone a lot, so I really need it!

[Q] Xperia Z Strange chargins issue

I replaced my broken screen recently, the battery had been lying dead for more than a month. Now after replacing the screen when i try to charge the phone, the RED LED blinks on a frequency of 7-10 seconds.
When I disconnect the battery flex and connect it to my PC it goes to fastboot mode, I was even able to flash a stock rom. When I connect it to main charger with the battery disconnected, display shows sony and turns off.
When reconnect the battery it won't display anything and the RED LED keeps blinking frequently. What might be the problem faulty battery ? or main board problem ?

The battery is completely discharged. Keep it on the wallcharger for 24 hours and then try to boot it.

But if it is discharged completely and when tried to recharge why would the red led keep blinking and not continuously glowing ?

It is not unusual. Just wait and you will see that it comes back on

Now the battery is charging I guess, RED LED is now glowing constantly which has been blinking earlier. Even though I was not able to Switch it ON.
The only way to recharge the phone is by using charging dock

Charging problem

Well, last night I was using my HTC One until the battery went to 1%, I plugged the device but it turned off anyway. I plugged the carger once again with the phone already off due to no battery remaining and it turned the screen on with the ilustration of a battery indicating that is charging, then the phones screen went off, along with the LED a like 3 times, and now the screen is off and the LED just keeps turning on and off like once a second.
What happened to my phone? Is there a way to fix it?
Please help!

Blinking red led

Just happened after nowhere. I got my hands on a z1 from a friend with a fully charged battery. Since I didnt have a simcard on the phone I turned it off. Now it wont turn on and the the red light in blinking when charging. Looks like a discharged battery but i dont know what to do. It's plugged on a 2A charger for about half an hour now but there's no sign of life. is there anything I can do?
PS: the bootloader is locked and I didnt messed with the system in anyway, it's was just factory reset

Use the official charger (that is 1.5A) and report back..
Else try to send it to service
Left it charging the whole night but still just the blinking red led. Since it's not on warranty anymore I don't think it's worth sending it to service. I'll penalty try to reconnect the battery to see if it helps
@Castro27 Try flashing the stock firmware via flashtool its very easy and it will bring life to your phone...
I have a strange problem. My Z1 was in the original dock charger over the night. The alarm woke me up in the morning and the battery was 100% full. An hour later it did not switch on. I have tried to put it to a original USB charger and a red light is flashing fast and continuously. I have tried to press power+vol down key and nothing happens. Is my battery dead? I don't mean fully discharged, but dead.
