I was just listening to music from TF3D and all of a sudden the screen turned off, music stopped, and the power button at the top was glowing red for a few seconds. I tried turning it back on, removing and reinserting the battery, but nothing happens. I can't turn it back on at all!
One thing I do notice is if I remove the battery, and plug in the usb cable connected to my computer, the power button glows red, but I can't turn it on. If I insert the battery, and then plug in the USB, the button doesn't glow red.
How would I recover the phone?

Try charging your phone for about an hour. The red light under the power button happened to me when i had used up all of my juice.
yeah i had the same problem and i had been very frightened of it...
just charge it...
Ah ok. Weird! Because when I was listening to music I had just taken it off the charger and it said 90% battery! And I had only listened to one song. I guess the battery meter was telling me false info =(
Thanks all
well maybe your battery was still kinda "new" so it wasnt showing correct data
a red light?
cool ... is this a phone or a light-generator?
it was the first pda with making so much noises by optical... but is good ...
Can anyone explain me how is the red light under the power button? The light doesn't come out from the illumination light, does it? I wanna see how is the light. Screenshot will be better.
It doesnt come out form the illumination light. It's by the power button. Usually it blinks when your battery is at 5% or close to total drained.
It´s a light that´s gives you battery error. I spent 2 days trying to figure it out because my phone wasn´t turning on and the red light was continuissly showin off, at the end it was because of a cheap wall charger (5V and 500ma, when SE uses 5v with 700ma) I just charged with SE wall charger and everything went back to normal.
In your case maybe one of you battery cells broke and that´s why it´s was at 90% giving you that hateful red light.
Here is a post conserning your problem:

i think the battery is low quality fake..
i found out that the fasted way to charge your empty battery is:
1. remove your battery
2. insert you mini usb charger (NOT usb>mini-usb from your computer)
3. watch if the red light is on. (underneath your power button)
4. insert your battery.
5. after 5/10 minutes your X1 is working again.
you can do it by just plugging your charger on when it's empty but then it can take up to 2 days (YES, i have experienced it) to make your X1 working again.
another way is, just plug the wall charger to your x1 then leave it there. the x1 do not wake up that quick because the charge voltage goes up grandually/slowly for protect your battery and phone after the battery voltage same as charge voltage, then it can be charge normally*
Thank god that I read this topic yesterday. Otherwise I would have pissed my trousers because I had the same light today.
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!
Hi all,
I have the charging problem with my Xperia T Skyfall phone.
I have read many posts on the net about users who have the same problem.
It ran completely out of battery and I can't turn it on anymore, at the moment I have it charging on the wall charger with the Power and Volume Up buttons pressed, the red light is on and after a few minutes it vibrates and turns to the green light, than the light goes off an it vibrates again and than the same thing again and after that the red light goes on again.. is this a good thing or should I do something else and if this is the proper way how long do I have to let it do this before it turns on or do something?
So one morning I woke up and saw phone keeps rebooting(bootloop).I had breakfast then came back to pick it up,and i connected it to charger and phone was totaly dead.I tryed other cables but still same result.Only way to power it on is when I use original cable and connect it to charger/pc.Then red led turns on and display showing low battery,and led keeps blinking.Sometimes it can boot into system and works for few minutes and shuts off cuz 0%.I changed battery but everything is same,I also can go into TWRP.
**I TRIED EDL MODE/two pins or whatever and my PC is not showing Qualcom driver or anything else in relation with phone
i had same issue before, i simply just buy new cable and it working again!!
PS. Before i buy new cable i already had 3 type-c cable bot non of them working
I had the same issue an hour ago. My MI5 had ~25% charge left when I saw it shutting off, maybe I unknowingly did it. Then I decided to leave the phone in TWRP at night but in the morning it appeared to be dead. The red LED blinked only when I pressed the buttons, no turning on, fastboot or booting into TWRP was possible. When I plugged it into the charger an empty battery icon appeared with the red LED blinking continuously. After some time a new animated battery icon appeared, in the still turned off state, but this time showing the exact charge percentage (2%). It went to 3% and I turned it on with the power button.
Should be a faulty battery which needs to be replaced!

Hello, two weeks ago my phone all of a sudden turned off and I can't turn it back on.
The only reaction I can get from it now is notification light turning on (instead of blinking) when charging. Also, when I use any vol + power combination when charging, the notification light blinks once and then goes back on. No vibration, no nothing. I tried charging it for a whole day with original charger (tried two xiaomi chargers).
I managed to tear down the phone, and plug off a battery from a motherboard. When I plug in a charger, with battery plugged off, the phone reacts exactly the same (no vibration, no screen activity, only notification led).
So my question is: could it be that the battery alone is faulty, or could it be something else? I will highly appreciate any help!
