Am having really bad trouble with my X10. Ive got no idea what is causing the problem and its really starting to annoy me now as its been happening for a while , if anybody can try and explain to me what I can do to diagnose the problem.
I charged my phone to 100% today 5 hours later it was on 50% that was with heavy use so that was fine .. 10 minutes later My phone switched it self off , After turning on my Phone the battery level was about 18% and I noticed that my phone stated that last unplugged went from 5 hours to 2 mins when it wasnt plugged in about 5 minutes later my phone battery was dead.
"On a dead battery" I charge my phone and it must take about 15 minutes for it to come back on before it starts charging, I simple get a red slowly steady blinking light . but when myphone does eventually come on It charges from 1%...
So if anybody can help me because its really frustrating now !!
Tried software restore & battery calibration Neither worked
Thanks,

Have you tried the S.E. support for this strange problem that still hasn't been fixed. Have you also tried to ''wipe battery stats in xRecovery'' and then in SEUS software repair.
Try this method and tell me if it worked. (Before doing charge battery to 100%!)
Boot into xRecovery
Advanced
Wipe Battery Stats
Start SEUS
Let it ask to connect phone
Put usb in phone and computer (while your still in xrecovery)
Go to reboot phone
Press the home button and immediately after that press on your back button to let your phone connect in flash mode
SEUS will install software
Tell me if it helped.

I went to bed and plugged it in at 3am (battery was at 30%).
I woke up at 11am and my X10 was frozen and showing the time as 7am and notification showed a missed call (phone never rang).
I pulled battery and it is now stuck in at reset loop.
All I get is: Rogers Splash screen>"Activating phone">Reset>Rogers Splash screen>"Activating phone">Reset>Rogers Splash screen>"Activating phone">Reset>Rogers Splash screen>etc....
If I hold menu while it resets it says Safe Mode at the bottom, but still resets.
If I leave it after it resets a few dozen times it just completely freezes on the "Activating Phone" screen and I have to do a battery pull.
I tried it with and without SIM card and with and without memory card. No change.
It is possible that when I went to sleep and plugged it in I didn't actually plug it in as the extension cord I have my charger plugged into is tempermental. The reason I mention this is because I have found a bunch of examples of this same thing happening to other people when their battery completely drains (no solutions, just other people that had the same thing happen). Also the first time it was looping it was saying that my battery was less than 2%, so I replugged it in.
What can I do? Any ideas?

Thanks for the help.
When I google "PC Companion" the first link is for Sony Ericsson PC Companion, so I assume that is what you meant, but when I follow the link the SE website tells me it is not compatible with the X10. (?)
So I just downloaded SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) and it is installing now, but since my phone is only active for 0.5 seconds at a time I doubt it'll work...
follow the instructions for SEUS completely. as i remember, you don't even need to have the phone turned on for it to repair the software.
the program allows you to choose the phone and then repair the phone by pressing the back button (hold it) while inserting the usb cable into the phone, the program will then tell you to release the back button and it will give you the option to repair.

How would he run repair in PC companion if he can't mount?
so use SEUS.

Mounting it is not a requirement for SEUS, it needs to be in flash mode which is achieved by holding down the back button whilst using SEUS as rightly pointed out by arcticreaver..
Hopefully it works for you! Keep us updated!
OK, SEUS is wiping and updating my phone now. As mentioned since it does not need to be on to initiate the update it bypassed the loop.
And now I will be spending the next few hours redownloading all my programs and resetting up all my Email accounts. Yay.
And then I get to look forward to doing it all again the next time my battery dies. Double yay.
keep us posted with this issue. might be something that we have to look out for.
resetting issue
Hi
I had the same issue. Currently I am on Ultima 5 rom. Changing to default rom via seus don't help. Phone is randomly resetting. Sometimes reset loop cause completely battery discharge, sometimes reset loop takes 10 minutes and phone is ready. I thought battery is broken so i bought a new one, but still i had the same problem.
Now I'm thinking about warranty fix, have you better idea ?
its the heat from ur phone. I kept my phone in my pocket and tried to make a call in my car (which was hot), it kept resetting.
I then blasted my A/C at my phone to cool it down and it worked just fine.
So if you're going into this kind of loop, its a good idea to let your phone cool down for 10-15 minutes, especially in the summer.
Its a motherboard/hardware problem for sure.
Thanks for your opinion
I'll try it and write if your suggestion was right

update
----------------------------------
Phone was still rebooting so I flash brand software and after half an hour running on original software the phone dead. I have got a new one from service point
Last night, I charged my phone through PC and after 57% charge I take it off.
Phone was working fine before I went to sleep. When i woke up i found that my phone is turned off. I try to turn it ON, but it did not give me any response.I thought my battery was completely drained, So, I try to charge it through the SE charger and through PC but nothing worked.
At present, Phone is completely off with no light indication. I tried to charge it many time with and without SIM card and sd card, but it remains in this condition I also tried different methods which are mentioned in some other forums.
Please help me. Did anyone experienced this kind of phone behavior?
I have a similar problem, I`m running on Mini CM6 from quite a time now and I had minor problems which are solved by “wipe data/factory reset”. But that one is bigger. I came back from work and put my phone on the charger, it was at least 24h on it and it stayed on 98-99% did not go to 100%, I remove it from the charger and set an alarm for the next day when the alarm ringed after 5 hours I saw that the phone had 15% of battery. In “About phone>Battery use” there was a “Cell search” (if I`m right) that I saw drained my whole battery. I go to work and put it in the charger again when I came back after 5-6 hours it was again on 98-99% I removed it and set an alarm (again) but for sooner not for next morning) before that alarm ringed the phone had 30% batter after I stop it the battery began to go down 2% at 1 second and it turn off. And guess what I did? Put the charger again for the whole night, the next morning after I woke up I decided to remove it from the charger and turn it off because I knew that it will search for signal again and I have to charge it. And that was the last time I saw it alive since then I don`t have anything from it I tried to charge it ->nothing ; SE PC suite -> nothing its totally dead. Its still in warrant but I`m afraid that they won`t repair it because I use a custom ROM. If anyone have any idea I`m listening.
Thanks in advance
Sorry for my bad English.
Try this:
Press the power button + middle button (home) at the same time.
Slight chance it will help, but you'll never know!
;;@above: right, they won't repair when you've got it modded.
They probablywon't know, you could give it a try.

how to do that when i can`t get anything from it. its like i have removed the battery it doesn`t give any sign of life ( not a light,vibrate etc.)
Aaa ok bro total ****ed well ? Try seus if this wont work your batery could be broke try some one else batery. If not defo broke. ! !!!!!just send it back to se if seus cant get it running they cant find out its rooted
After lots of frustration, I found a solution to charge dead battery by charging it with little High voltage(9v) to get back it into chargeable state. I followed the same procedure and managed to charge my battery, but during and after full charge(99%) battery got very HOT. I was very happy to saw my phone back working, but my happiness was eventually went away when i saw that battery was draining very fast
Now, Battery is lasting just for few hours (2-3) and whole phone gets very hot.
The worst thing is, If i left my phone for few hours and do not charge it, battery will again full drain and i would be in the same condition from where i started.
I wish i never had bought this crappy phone
So i`ve send the phone to service and they said: After many tries we find out that a connection in the motherboard was f****d and its 4 layer so they can`t repair it. Because of a scratch(which is very hard to notice) they cancel the warranty, and they tried to make it so they can take my money but they are stupid and they couldn`t. Now i`m buying a new phone which is not going to be Sony because they don`t make a thing for their old customers(personal opinion). I want to thank you all for your help and support
I read a lot about and also on the sonyericsson website says that these feeding problems are often related to two components:
- Sd card damaged or damaging some application installed, then you want to format
- Memory, or too full
The problems are:
- The phone turns itself off
- Sometimes turns on by itself
- Turns itself off if not turned on unless a soft reset (home + power button)
- If it turns itself off and starts believing it is discharged in office no signs of life
I honestly thought we could find the solution on this forum but apparently it's pretty annoying also an issue for you, I is the third time I hard reset and I think I'll two things:
- Or install a rom
- If the problem persists delete root permissions bringing the device to the condition of complete originality and I'll settle for some applications, at this point I doubt will happen again, so if the phone will sell and buy another one or send it under warranty
If anyone has found a solution to the problem you say that! many of us get us the hair from the head!

goto to flashtool folder and run gg detsup and then uninstall pccompanion, re install and use it...it should work
I'm having this issue too. The phone lasts till about 40% and then shuts down. Then when I turn it on it says 25% and then shuts down almost immediately. If I try again it will say something like 10% and then shuts down again.
It takes forever to charge as well and when I charge it it only goes to about 87%. A half hour-1 hour of listening to music and its back to 40% and shutdown again.
I ordered a new battery. Hope it works..
Which rom u use? Overclocked or not?
Maybe ur hardware is damaged..
I connected my phone to my computer to let it charge...made a phone call and then went away for about 30 minutes. I come back to check on my phone and it's turned off and won't turn back on. Recovery or download mode won't work either.
Can anyone tell me what the heck I should do? I need my phone back up and running ASAP
edit: and yes I've already tried removing the battery for "90 seconds"

You're sure download mode is not working ? Did you try the correct combo ? ( Power +Home + Vol Down)
If yess please provide other details as to what you did . ( eg underclocking )

Here's a step by step description of what happened, and what I've tried thus far:
-Phone was at about 4-5% battery life and charging.
-Made 1 phone call then left it there to go eat dinner.
-Came back 30 minutes later to grab my phone and head out of the house only to find that it's completely shut off and won't turn on.
I've tried pressing vol up + power + menu, I've tried vol down + power + menu, and I've tried holding power + menu and nothing worked. I can't even tell whether it's charging or not, but I don't think it is because the battery isn't getting warmer at all (which usually happens when the phone is charging).
And what do you mean "under clocking"? as in under clocking the CPU? I've done nothing remotely close to it. Then only thing I did to my phone is install Siyah kernel and Cyanogenmod 7.2
edit: Tried to remove the battery for a few minutes and It's still not working. Looks like I'm getting a new phone tomorrow....(ugh)
It's quite possible that your charger itself just died, and it's not charging anymore.
Have you tried a different charger?
Perhaps your battery is dead?
I wouldn't give up just yet.
edit: Just be patient. Keep "charging" it. Give it a night to charge and see in the morning.
Phone is "braindead", as the tech guy called it. He said the insides looked like it came into contact with water, which is weird because it was nowhere near the water.
Nevertheless...I hated this phone after about the first week of owning it and it doesn't surprise me one bit that this happened. Worst phone I've ever used and it didn't even last 8 months.
Hi everyone,
I have search in many topics and didn't find the answer of my problem.
It has starts with my Rom (Omega v19.1) which has suddenly decided to failed the com.android.phone process. After tried many issues, I finally decided to bring my phone back to old parameters : first flash siyah kernel then flash Criskelo-Servan V12 Rom.
But when I have flashed Siyah Kernel (using CWM), the Siyah logo was just "flashing", like blinking.
Few minutes after, the battery was fully empty. There was no way to restart the phone, even in Download mode which shows me the "Low battery. Can't Download" text. If i just plug the battery, it shows the battery logo fully empty with the ring (the same when your computer is lagging), which isn't turning.
By quiclky testing in a store with another GSII, Download mode was working, so my battery seems to be too weak to restart.
I have tried MichalAmrs method, it doesn't work, by plugging to a Computer or to the wall.

Try this-
Take out the battery, then press and hold the ON button for 7-10 seconds (the longer the better). Reinsert the battery, then press ON button to start it. This is a soft reset, and wipes the temporary memory and empties all remaining power in the circuits. This helps on many phones and even laptops that won't start properly or show anything on screen.
If this does not work, try the next step. Again, do as above. But after inserting the battery, do not turn the phone on, but press and hold the ON button and the HOME button at the same time for 7-10 seconds. This is a hard reset, and works best if done after a soft reset. Just be sure the battery has at least some juice in it and isn't empty. If possible, try with another battery if this does not work.

Someone has an issue ? I thought that flash siyah kernel again using Download mode (with another battery) could solve my problem, but I am not sure it will brings the battery back.
Thanks for reading
i would try getting a new battery to see if the battery or phone is the problem
I would borrow the battery from that other SII for a minute and check if my batt is dead or the usb flex is busted.

Back again,
I have bought a new official battery (2000mAh).
When I plug my phone I can now see the charging logo during few minutes (before, I could just see it 20 seconds). But the phone still not charging, and the Download mode also give me the same message "low battery. Can't Download".
So ... what is the problem ? I know it's not very common ...
