yes i did but to no avail

which rom or Firmware were you running out of interest?
It sounds like your battery is totally flat and can not be charged. I'm experiencing exactly this problem right now with a WolfBreak CM6 v5 - Froyo 2.2 - can not get any charge into the battery..
EDIT: This is a really bad issue with some of open source Froyo firmwares - any of these MUST NOT run under a certain amount of power, you can never fully discharge them or they render the phone useless.
The only way I can see of getting it back, is to put it into another X10, give it about ten minutes of charge or just get enough charge into it, then let it start up and detect the charger.

Must be an error on your side. I'm also running wolfbreaks rom and my battery has drained completely many times (unfortunately) and I was always able to charge it.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

It isn't just an error my side.
I've heard of the same problem occurring, with all ROM's based on the Beta 4 from zdzihu, modified by TriPNavER and Wolfbreak thereafter, also rendeiro2005 and other Froyo 2.2 roms for the X10 all stem from the original zdzihu firmware, which has the original 'feature' or - issue.
To be clear, devices with xRecovery have the issue. Reason is to gain access to recovery with X10 - by hijacking the chargemon file (/system/bin/chargemon) with the one that SE used and this file being /system/bin/chargmon, within the file there is a modification, which sets up offline charging - with the following file - system/bin/charger
I've been looking at the Wolfbreak rom for this issue and that 99% of all default ROM's from this stable have permanent RW (read/write) mount points. You can get at your mount state just by typing - adb shell mount - or just 'mount' - into a terminal window. If they are all RW, it's not the end of the world! You can easily set them back to being RO.
You will notice in the newer versions of "chargemon" - there is a little piece of logic like this;
if
/system/bin/charger
fi
Which is to handle what SE dev's have done and what XDA dev's have and prioritize off line charging. Problem being that as the OP of the thread were in, has the same problem as I just encountered, with possibly the exception that I wanted to see what would happen.. I am also looking for the solution.
The replacement battery is an option but it's easier to get another X10 (without a troubled ROM) and put the battery in for a few minutes to get enough charge, so when the phone boots up, the charger can be quickly sorted out and charging can resume as normal.

help
Plz help me out i am still having same problem....it just vibrates with sometimes green light flash.......and that is it sonyericson logo wont appear..........

try different chargers, or like stated above, use someone elses to jump start the charging

Battery drain on CM 6.13

Hello, I managed to install the actual CM6 on my X10i(flashed to .58), but now I have the battery drain Problem... lost 20% in 40 minutes... :S
Flashed it actually down to .54, doesn't look much better...
yes, I did read this advice:

If anyone is having any issues i suggest you try this!

, but here's my problem... I have no plan, how to reinstall the OS, google and Forum search did not help... tried SEUS, tells me, I have the actual software and does nothing more...
so, I would be really thankfull, if someone could post a noob-friendly tutorial for this...
When you connect to SEUS, once it detects the phone, it will notify you about your current OS and it will also give you the option to reinstall the OS, which will result in the loss of all your apps. You will also lose root. So you'll have to do that again.
But before you do anything, give the ROM some time to settle down. Many people on wolf's ROM have observed better battery life after its been allowed to discharge a couple of times.
It has also been said that the .58 basebrand could have possible quick battery drain.
Had this issue too, the only way I found to resolve it was to start from scratch; i.e. back up, re-flash from seus, root and so on. Works a treat, though it's a pain...

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't is just easier to go to xrecovery, factory reset, wipe all stats and caches and reinstall the ROM. Is there any advantage to reflashing 2.1 first?
Tried just re-flash, no joy; still high battery drainage. I've found that in a few roms, if you re-flash the same one you get issues...!

yeah, debranded to .54 yesterday, first seemed to be the same, but now, 7 hours without recharge, 59% left, listened a bit to music, did some installations and some short calls in this time... so, it's close to the unmodified performance and not critical anymore... gues, with the cracked bootloader we will get an update soon, with no more problems like this
My battery is fine and I used. 54 BASEBAND. I SUGGEST FLASHING THAY BASEBAND ON. And you should have no problems. I have had my phone off charge for 6 hours now and I have been on the phone, listened to music, watched a few video's and been on XDA app and my battery has only dropped 31% so mine is fine. Hope it works and if not PM me and I will see what I can do

hey, i just wrote, that I also debranded to .54.. and see, mine: 40% in 7 hours, yours 30% in 6 hours... thanks for the help anyway
I'll keep this for some time, maybe it all will be fixed soon...
Xrecovery
I flashed the stock rom, rooted an everything else. When I try to boot into Xrecovery, I can't. I tried reinstalling Xrecovery, but it wouldn't take. Anybody have any ideas? I want to put Wolf's rom back on my phone, but I am stuck in stock 2.1 right now.

you will have to manually place those xrecovery files in the respective folders using root explorer. Thats the only way to make it work.
Take them from the SD card and put them in system/bin?
Edit: I got it now. Thanks for your help!
What busybox is installed on your phone. Is it v1.8 or higher if not you need to install that again using busybox installer if that fails then you will need to do what the last post says. Hope this helps.

It could be that you have a similar chipset that my x10 came with.
these are usually defunct and should have the mother board swapped by SE.
Trust me when they sold the x10 alot of damaged motherboards made it on the market.
Pathetic battery life or restarts are symptoms of these crappy boards.
Just wanted to ask...i read that wolfbreak rom battery life will get better if u use it for a couple of days..i wanted to ask do we still to do the wipe battery stat in xrec and discharge and charge the phone a couple of time or just let the system running...i ussualy charge my phone at night witout switching the phone off..is this ok..previously on 4.5 rom,the battery was great...
well,.. I actually just let the system run and I still have great battery life...but usually it's best to discharge the battery a couple of times...
Try wiping battery stats
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
already wipe the battery stats a couple of time...well..i just need to wait a couple of days and see how its work...now i try to discharge and charge the battery...
today,i charged my phone for 5 hours after discharging the battery to 1% last night...then,after plug out the cable,i turn on the phone and my phone fully charge..then,i wipe the batt stat using xrec and restart my phone...after restarting,my battery indicate 1%....why is this happening...try to wipe again,the same thing happen...then,i decided to recharge while the phone is on..after 20 minutes of charging,my battery rise to 79%..what does this mean?
You mean discharge and recharge fully a few times....

[Q] CM 6.1.3 v054 Wolfbreak - HELP

Hi all, first of all im new here and wanted help on that ROM, i tried a few already and that one is a great one, first i wanna congratulate Wolf by his job, is for sure a hard one but...
After reading tons of solutions in Wolfs thread, and even in other threads, tried other tweaks and "cheats", i still need a "right" answer.
My battery drains too fast, even more than stock 2.1, i tried everything that were said in Wolfs post as i said above, and still the same...
Some even say that doesnt matter the brightness of the screen in this ROM its almost no diference but even at less than 25% my batery goes down around 20% a hour.... yeah if im looking at my xperia, and after some minutes check it again the batery was drained 2-3% and just by leaving it on the table...
i guess something is wrong with it, something i did ofc, since everyone is enjoying new batery life, im loving the ROM just need to be sure how to fix my batery if thats done everything is alright for me and can wait for new Wolf ROMs, or even the ones with new Kernel, without changing this one, cause its really great
so if someone that faced the same problem as me, plz can do me a detailed step-by-step "guide" how to fix it i would really apreciate it.
p.s: yeah u can ask me to re-flash the ROM, but maybe is the 10th time i've made it i really saw 2.1 rom and 2.2 wolf's one changing a lot of times in this last week lol but if u have a solution and need to do it again here i go
p.s.2: wireless always off or almost, only turn it on once in awhile at home to download some apps from market but is very rare, GPS always off, have no car and dont use it in any other kind of apps BT also off ...humm i guess i have everything as they should be but the phone likes to drain my battery
Many thanks, and hope u guys can help me
Best regards from a Portuguese friend

I did experience the same issue at first with wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3, but the battery drain seems to be fixed after some updates. Have you applied the latest update v054?
-- Edit --
You might want to try to calibrate your battery by draining it until the phone is forced to shut down by itself and fully charge it several times. I noticed my phone hanged on at 1% for quite awhile before it shut down during the draining process.. lol
I'm not entirely sure if it's healthy to drain the battery this way. I know it's not when you drain it completely but it seems there's a safeguard built in to tell the phone to shut down when the battery level is critical (since my phone wouldn't just cut right off after I drain the battery, it shuts down like how it would be done manually..)
my two cents
Try what Realorasz is suggesting

Hmmm... strange. I just checked, none of those files exist on my CM6.1.3 v054.
Try it. I learnt this from a xda thread. I can't find it right now.
1. Drain your battery by itself.
2. Keep your X10 switch on and charge, until battery is fully.
3. Disconnect from charge.
4. Turn off X10
5. Connect to charge again, until battery is full again.
6. Turn on X10 and enter Xrecovery--advanced xxxx--wipe battery satats.
7. reboot.
BTW, do u use any battery widgets? Try to get rid of them(it). They always drain your battery. CM- ROM can show the exact battery number by battery icon in Status Bar.

lol! Then those files surely did not come with CM 6.1.3 by default.
One thing that's weird about the battery usage is that the % of "display screen" is always off the chart (>50%)... I just assume that's the power management issue which will be fixed in GingerBread.

My mistake for jumping to the conclusion there..
Maybe it's just my phone but after a day of use, display screen usually takes up 75% and other stuffs would only have less than 5-10% lolol (Note that's not after watching a whole movie just normal browsing, calls, texting..etc). It's quite an obvious change from what I observed where the battery usage distributions are quite even over different sources with 2.1 stock rom.
ty all for ur help, i'll try that today and see if it works, just one more question
would it be good if i re-flash the phone again "while"-"after" doing that process?
something like after my batery is drained get it full charged... blablabla... flash the phone to 2.1.... blabla get back to Wolfs ROM and then do the same step when batery is drained again? in my point of view that would be good wouldn it?

Unexpected reboot / long wake up : kernel, rootfs or build ?

Hello,
I'm running Gingerbard GBX0A on my Rhod100FR and noticed only two minor issues :
1st one, the less annoying :
takes in average 5-7 seconds to light the screen up when i press the power button
2nd one, a bit more annoying
unexpected reboot, last one occured in the middle of a phone call.
I was wondering it this was bugs from the kernel files, the rootfs or the build itself ?
Knowing about that would allow me to test different kernel or rootfs.
Going back to FRX06 would force me to start over configuring the whole system and resintalling the apps, unless there's to change ext2 file or something to switch from GB to FR ?
Cheers
Edit : my current kernel is 1320 dated 5/14
Long wakeup -> kernel.
Reboot -> probably kernel as well, usually a kernel panic causes reboots. Not always the kernel's fault, but the kernel should be able to handle anything without panicing.
Have you tried an older kernel? Some of the newer kernels aren't as stable. I still bundle 1276 for a reason.
Also, please post in the build thread. No need for another thread...

Thanks arrrghhh, i'll go back to 1276, it seemed to far away in the past compared to 131x or 1320 and my idea was to take latest.
I've never tried older than 1295 as far as i remember. I'll give a try with 1276.
I created a new thread b/c i was not sure it was related to GB and i didn't to mispost in the build topic ... Admin can close or move

I also have this problem of rebooting. its very annoying. I use the FRX06 and wistilt2 kernel. Wats more annoying is when it reboots i cant even use my winmo cos it still keeps rebooting in winmo. anyone know how to fix this pls?
I decided to go back to FRX06 with stock kernel (1276) and without overclocking because i'd like to use it daily instead of WinMo.
Gingerbread is a bot nicer, ans a couple of extr&a fetures, but is alpha - not stable enough to operate daily.

Sounds like that battery issue people were experiencing.
Remove battery for a few hours put it in and charge it, then turn it on only AFTER charging.
There's a chip in the battery that needs resetting, this should do so.
Thanks. ur solution has been working so far but i cant be removing my battery for hours every now n then. is there a way to reset the chip on the battery of i just get a new one?

Well, hopefully this bug doesn't hit you that often. You can avoid it by shutting down before battery hits 0 (though most of the time battery hitting 0 doesn't trigger this).
You can also avoid this by:
*Getting a second battery. When this bug hits your first battery, just boot Android with the second, and then while plugged in, swap in your first battery. I believe it should start charging normally.
*Getting an external battery charger.
Last time I checked, you could pick up 3 third-party spare batteries with an external charger for like 10 bucks of eBay.
i changed my kernel n it fixed it. well not really but it doesnt bother me as much n im happy wit it now but the problem is this new kernel im using drains my battery. idk if its cos of the constant red led light. anyone know a kernel that fixes this? pls post link

X10 shuts down when battery level is under 20%

hey,
I've a problem: When the battery of my X10 is under 20%, the phone shuts down automatically. When I start the phone again, it works till the next shut down. (this can take 5 minutes or 2 hours. Its different)
When I use the phone without turning it in standby, I can use it till the battery complete empty.
Is anything defect, or is it normal?
rom: WB V6 on stock kernel, but with stock rom, it was the same.
sorry for my language, I'm from germany
greeting, Tobi
Have u used battery monitor widget to get that it always shutting down at 20% , mine does it at 40% . Mines fine if im using it but if its in standby . . . Shutdown ... I then switch it on and says I got 20-35 battery and phone charges very fast back up to 100 . I think my battery is buggered which is what I think is wrong with yours. I could recommending a temp fix of freezing it battery overnight then charging for like 8 hours . Sometimes helps ..

Hi mate
I don't know what you mean by accu(I understand you meant battery level?) It sounds like one of the old kernels they were making, are you sure you are on stock kernel?
You could try flashing another rom on a ftf file with flashtool.. but try to charge phone when its off.let me know.

yes I used a widget, so I saw the battery level. 20% was an example, I remember I had the problem between 20% and 30%, too! But the most time its when battery is under 20%
What do you mean with temp fix of freezing it?
I think I had the problem since I've the phone. So you think my battery is defect?
So you also had this Problem with the SE rom? If not, try to wipe the battery stats with xrecovery before flashing a new rom

I definitely heard this issue on old roms so make sure you flash the latest patches updates for that rom and follow well the installation procedure(factory reset,wiping cache,dalvik,bat stats)
If after charging the phone (offline) it does not charge, try to flash a ftf firmware with flashtool.
I have this too on all Roms but it starts at 35 and keeps doing it until 0, bad calibrated battery i think. Had this on 2.1 once and it was gone without me doing anything, weird Battery.

Yes I had the problem with stock SE rom too.

I've also the newest updates for my rom ( wolf v6). Do you think I should try it with another kernel? Now I have stock.
Or I flash my rom & kernel again..

[Q] Sudden Turn offs. Please help

Hi,
I am currently using my x10 on "TheGo2 V12.1 ROM with FreeXperia+tatsuo rev 09-4 kernel. The bootloader is unlocked. Baseband is 2.1.71.
The issue is whenever I use my phone heavily like play a game, or talk on phone for 10 minutes or so, or take two or three pictures with the camera, or anything that would make the phone do some heavy tasks, the phone turns off it-self. If I try to turn it back on right after it shuts off, the phone turns on and comes to the lock screen but then freezes and shuts off again. So to make it work again I have to give it a few minutes and then turn it on.
Now it only happens when I have the phone running on battery and when the battery percentage is below 90. When I have it on charge through usb or ac charger, I can use the phone as much as I want to and It doesn't turn off.
I notice something else also. Sometimes the battery would keep dropping rapidly if I keep turning it on after it shuts off itself. It will come down to 0% or 1%. However, the phone will keep on working (no heavy use, just simple text messaging) and the battery percentage would start to increase itself (no, phone is not on charge).
I have tried many different ROMS and kernels (Stock based, MIUI, CM) but no luck.
I don’t know what the problem is. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
>>>> The problem was a bad battery. There wasn't anything wrong with software nor it was because of overclocked phone. I changed my battery and now I am not having any sudden turn offs.
Hardware problem,probably.Is ur phone OCed?Try lower freq to c is the cpu the one who make problems.

Yea, I think it is the hardware problem too. Or could it be some script on sdcard that is making the phone go crazy. (Just guessing about the script) lol.
Also, the phone is overclocked. I use 225 min and between 998 to 115200 max. I don't think it is the because of the frequencies. I have tried different frequencies. If it was the frequency then why doesn't it shut off when it is on charge??
I have an X10 that was showing the same symptoms, after a while it stopped booting all together. No way to flash it or do anything with it.
I think ur problem is overclocking. Each device has certain tolerance to different frequencies many can't handle higher/lower freq bands. Try bringing it down to default c how it works (ps don't set on boot)

I had this issue. Finally i figured out that it's kernel case(in my situation). I flashed stock kernel abd BINGO reboots stopped. I flashed doomkernel latest version and DOUBLE BINGO! no reboots + option for OC/UC

Because of voltage maybe.

I had the phone on custom kernel, overclocked and unlocked bootloader for a while and It was working fine untill I installed this MIUI rom and I followed the battery calibration process that was in the MIUI thread. It didn't happen while I was using the MIUI rom. It started to happen when I changed back to the stock based roms.
It might be the frequencies, but I personally think there is some other problem. Because If it was the frequencies or because of overclocked, it should turn off even while it is on charge.
It only turns off when it is running on battery.
I will keep the suggestions in mind. Thank you all for giving your suggestions.
I am thinking to bring the phone back to the original 2.1 rom and lock the bootloader. I'll check if it happens again. If not, then I'll take it step by step to see what causes the phone to do it.
Use seus/pc companion first if they mot wok flash global generic firmware (gingerbread though not eclair2.1) if ur problem still persists let us know pal u may just need fresh install.

Alright, I will try that and will report back if the problem is still there or it went away.
No probs pal
No luck, I went back to stock 2.3 rom with stock kernel but it happened again..
Is it overclocked? Maybe is that, when I overclock mine to 1,2 GHZ, it just can't handle it and reboots at every attempt of use.

If not, maybe it's a hardware problem...
Maybe it is damaged.:/

Oh, its damaged all right. I had two x10s that had the same problem. As far as I know (from Sony Ericsson warranty rep) the problem is a damaged motherboard. Not your fault by the way, it was apparently an electrical short that somehow screwed the whole board. I've had two replacement x10s and am sending this to you from my third x10. Your problem should be covered under warranty, so find your regional sony ericsson support number and call them. They should be able to get you a replacement. If not, you should start shopping for a new phone.
Oh, but first you should relock your bootloader.

No it wasn't overclocked. I had it down to stock ROM, kernel. No root also and it still did it.
Yea I think it is a hardware problem. The only thing I don't understand is why does it not do it when I have it running on ac power. It only does it when it is running on battery. :/

Umm, it is an odd problem. Happens only when running on battery as I have said before....
It has taken many falls. Good thing is the screen didn't break but the back cover got loose and it has some dents on the conrers. lol
I will try again. I have to re lock my bootloader first. Then I would go back and do a fresh install. I am thinking starting back to the 2.1.
I don't have a job right now or else I would have bought the Arc S by now. lol.. Is anyone hiring btw?
Thank you all for the help. Really appreciate it.
same problem
I've been experiencing exactly the same.
In addition, I don't know if anyone noticed, the battery use graph looks like the battery is doing some weird stuff. It looks as if the battery drains when in use, but then it comes back up. I've had readings of 30% battery after using, but after letting it sit and rest, it comes back up to 50%.
And this happens with stock and custom roms. I've used Wolf's and Zmod, and the same turn-offs happen in all of them, as well as the battery use.
Anyways, I just flashed stock, and I'm taking it today to service!

Exatcly the same issue with me. The battery drains fast, but if I leave it unsued, it starts to come back up. Like yesterday night, I was using it normal. Just texting and I had the wifi on. So, the battery starts to drain and got to 1%. The phone turned off.
I turned it back on after a few seconds and it had 2% battery and it kept going up. It is like a self charge system or something. lol.
I ended up ordering a new battery for the phone. Maybe that will fix it. It only cost me $12 on amazon with free shipping. So, let's what happens.
