Hi,
My brother's Z1 got in to a pool yesterday. After a couple of minutes, the phone shut down, and then turned back on. When it turned on and he got to the homescreen, the phone was working all by itself, randomly opned apps and was shut down, and then started again. And it went on like this for a couple of hours.
I told him to open all the flops, remove SD card and SIM card and whenever the phone turned on, hold the power button and the volup up button, so it didn't turn on. Today, the phone's battery was dead, so he had to charge it in order to turn the phone on. The problem is when he connects the charger, the red led begins to blink and the phone vibrates in three times rows. Like it vibrates three times, takes a little break, and then vibrates three times again.
Any suggestions, or are the phone completly dead? :/
Thanks

If your lucky it could be a faulty cable as my phone did the same thing until i got a brand new cable, it seems unlikely that the phone is dead if you get some responsiveness however it's still a possibility, i'd put the phone in a bag of rice with all the flaps open and all the cards removed, and leave it in the bag for around 48 hours, then attempt to power the phone back on.

Ever get it back on? My battery drained to 1% last night, so I shut it down, charged it all night, and now mine wont turn on. Has the green light just like yours.

I had to reboot mine in to flash mode in order for mine to come back up. I had to hold the down volume (or up cannot remember right now) + power for a minute nearly. Then it rebooted correctly into normal mode.

So I ended up calling AT&T and they went ahead and shipped me a new MAHD.
I took the dead phone to work and tried charging with my work charger, and now it works! When it finally turned on, the battery level was at 3%. So lesson learned: Do not let your battery drain to 1%!

I am having the same problem. I can get the boot screen up if i hold the buttons in at a certain time while the phone is plugged in and attempting to turn on. however, the phone cuts out no matter what and repeats the cycle even with the boot screen up. during the few seconds i can get the boot screen up, i'm unable to select an option, only scroll up or down and highlight them. then the phone cuts out and 20 secs. later attempts to turn on again but never gets past the motorola icon. Any suggestions? I originally thought it was the battery so i ordered one and installed it correctly and charged it, but still the same thing is happening. When plugged into a pc, charge light comes on but phone won't attempt to turn on....?????????

Our phone doesn't receive power from the cable until it's fully booted. Factory cables are a good work around.

I have the same problem.
I think it's impossible to fix.
I tested with original charger.
I have also tried every possible button combinations.
and does not start
Has anyone been able to fix it?
Hi.
so the thing is, that even some time before this happened my xperia T10 was restarting while not connected to the charger.
I couldnt use it daily because it just kept restarting whenever somebody called me or I used the mobile internet.
Few days ago I left my phone without charger for night and I believe it kept restarting over and over again.
When I woke up, I couldnt turn it on, when its not connected to the charger it simply flashes red 2 times and thats it, if connected it flashes still red light as long as I press power button.
I thought its the same problem like I had with a tablet long time ago and it would be enough to let it charge for 2 days or so.
its 3rd day now and everything is still the same.
What should I do?
I dont have an acces to PC or laptops since I dont have one.
Any advice?

I opened the case and took the battery off for few hours and then put it in again, and ofc i attached all the cables and such back again.
Now when i hold volume down button and power button the led turns green for 5 secs and then fades. Then whenever i push power button the red led flashes still light but it dissapears after 10-30 sec and comes up again after few seconds.
help...
I know this from my xperia T. I hold (in holder not in my hand) the power button for long time (about hour) with connected power cable. And after this time it starts work. Try that
Well I dropped my HTC one in the water, I quickly removed it, turned it off, dried it off and stuck it in a bag of rice. After about a hour it started restarting itself, only to the android boot screen then turns back off, approximately on for 3 seconds. I have tried holding the power button and the volume down to get to boot screen, I have selected all options but the phone turns back off before anything is actually done.
I left it to die overnight and waited a extra day before trying to charge it. After a minute of being plugged in the same bootloop occurs, I believe something is be shorted causing it to restart. What should I do? I would have to open the phone I assume.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I didn't respond because I wanted to test out your theory and report back after. The battery was already depleted so I didnt have to power down. I did leave it in rice for a week or so, put the phone on charge and it seems the same problem is occurring somehow. Not sure what happened to cause it, it must be getting shorted out somehow but after a week I would think it should be fine. Not sure what to do now, I may take it to a repair person but don't want to pay much money to get it fixed when the phones not worth as much anymore.
Hi,
My Z3c recently suffers this problem that the phone may turns off itself all of a sudden,
I have rooted it few months ago and it's still running 4.4.4 until now.
It first happened a day before, I charged it for a while (not for long perhaps half hour) and then unplugged it from the charger to browse some websites before sleep, but then it turned off automatically without any notice, I tried to turn it on again but it just showed me the 'Sony' and then gone black screen again, I thought it was battery running out so I plugged it back to charger, it showed that 48% battery left, then I tried to turn it on (both volume button+power on button or pressing power on button only) again but still nothing just blackness, so i just simply charged it and went to bed. I checked it the morning after, still couldn't turn on, so i unplugged it, waited for like couple hours then finally I can turn it on but the phone only got 16% battery left.
It happened twice today, blackout during charging, unplug it from charger, wait for like 30 mins ish then it'd be okay to power on.
when I try to turn it on or force power on it, it'll still vibrant as usual but just nothing to show on screen when the problem occurs
does anyone know if it's hardware or software problem? would that be solved if I just factory reset it or I must take it to sony care centre?
hi im new here and i really need your help. while im surfing my facebook with mobile data on, my phone suddenly turned off. i hold the power button then start up boot sony went on then auddenly went off again. i tried that at about 3 to 5 times and same thing happen until the boot loader didnt appear anymore. i let it close and drove home (that was about 1 and 30 minutes more or less). i charged it using the dock that came from sony itself and i tried to hold the power. then it opened. it was it 71% battery when i opened it. so i charged it for awhile and i uncharged it so i can play music while taking a shower, not more than one song the phone went off again and this time it wont open. i checked this forum and i saw some troubleshooting like holding the power and volume up for about 10 sec. it was suppose to vibrate but it didnt. no red blink or whatsoever. lile my phone is really dead. tried plugging it in my laptop but pc companion wont read it since it was off. tried charging it and went to sleep and woke up 4am to check it but still the same. PLEAASE HEEEEELP im desperate!!! :crying:
You posted in the wrong device forumn, this is the newer model that was just released, however, i hope you got your phone back running already, when you tried to hold power + vol up for 10 seconds, try holding it for a minute instead, if this doesn't work it's probably a hardware problem and you should try to contact sony
