I put my phone on charge last night and it seemed fine. When I woke this morning I noticed that it had only reached about 35% full. Neither the charger or usb cable are working now. I've pulled the battery out and left it for 10 mins etc but it's still not charging. Is this something I can fix easily or does it sound like it needs to go back to three.co.uk ?
Maybe your charger is defective!
I've also tried the regular usb cable direct to the pc and it isn't charging via that either.
I'm a worried now as I've installed a custom rom and I'll need to try to go back to stock if I need to return for repair. Trouble is that the PC isn't recognising the phone is connected by usb now :-(
Hmm, before giving it to service flash back the Stock ROM and see if the problem still remains or not.

Yes, if you have CWM use it to flash back to something stock. If you don't have it, you can get it through the app Darkysrom from the market. If you have enough power left that is..
I was wondering if I could flash back to stock with CWM which I do have. But as usb isn't being recognised I can only put the zip file on the external sd. Can I still flash from that?
I think you can.
I cannot get my phone powered on without connecting to a charger.It keeps rebooting when the battery is inserted.but it gets out of the loop once the charger is plugged ...once it is on,i can disconnect it from charger and it shows no problem..
Once you get it booted up, delete your batterystats.bin
Go here /data/system and delete the batterystats.bin file or you can do it in CWR if you can get there. Plug in and charge to 100% then unplug (and reboot if you want) and your shoudl get out of the loop.
I am thinking that your battstats are corrupted and your phone "thinks" it has less charge than it does. Ghost in the machine type thing.

Try a different battery?
Go to a T-Mobile store or sumfin and ask if you can try a new battery, if it turns on and boots normal, it's your battery.

well *_*, it didnt get me any where, i used some Ethyl alcohol
So, sort of long story, i'll cut it short
-Got an old X10, had stock 2.3.3
-Rooted it
-Did not unlock bootloader, got kinda scared.
-Tried to install FeraLab custom ROM, it failed probably because of sdcard permissions; i accidentally wipe /system /data /cache
-stuck at first Sony Ericsson screen
-Somehow managed to flash a 2.1 stock rom with flashtool, after an hour of different combinations of enterring flash mode and pulling the battery
-Tried to install FeraLab again, this time it went through
-After install, rebooted, phone shut down during boot up process
-Will not turn on at all. Even when plugged into a PC, wall, not plugged in, pulling battery, etc.
I think what happened is that FeraLab needed a newer baseband than the 2.1 stock rom had. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this sucker to even turn on? Not a single LED is on when plugged in, giving me the impression that it's not charging.
If the battery has drained out, it might take some time before it kicks in and indicates that it is charging.
If the ROM has failed somehow, it might not show that it is charging at all, but might be charging.
Either way: Let it charge "blindly" for a while, and see what happens.
Once it does boot up to some level or shows life-signs, let it charge fully before you'l attempt a ROM flash.
The flash/recovery mode needs a full battery, and reason is that the external power isn't used even when connected while in flash/recovery mode.
If you happen to be in bad luck, and the ROM failed as a result of a drained battery, you might have to charge the battery externally. Use an external battery charger made for 3.6 volts Lithium Polymer batteries, and make sure to align the + and - terminals properly.
I can recommend the multicharger from Powerbase, called C-734U:
http://www.powerbasehk.com/product.php?id=148
Using it myself to charge the X10 battery, as well as other batteries from other devices I have.
EDIT:
(For some reason, powerbase has taken back that it'll charge Lipo batteries, but when I bought mine, it was described as a li-ion, li-poly and Ni-MH charger, and it't ability to charge li-poly batteries was the very one reason to why I bought it.
I suspect PowerBase does not want to take responsibility if anything happens to the li-poly-batteries, as they are known to be more dangerous than other types.)
I've left it on the wall charger all night, no response or anything. Luckily, I bought a new battery a few days ago, so when that comes in, hopefully it will be charged enough for this thing to boot.

Yeah, i'm not sure what he expected. But, good news! Now for some reason my phone started blinking red whenever I tried to turn it on! I guess the battery completely ran out or something. It also blinks every now and then when plugged in, so I guess it's charging. The previous owner of this phone said that it had some battery problems, so that's why I ordered that new battery. I'll let it charge for awhile and let you guys know what happens.
Okay, after getting my new battery, the phone will still not turn on. I think i've figured out two behaviors:
1. If the battery is nearly completely out of charge, it will flash a red light
2. If the battery has charge, it will not do anything at all.
Anyone know how to fix this?
While trying to turn on the phone, after long-press power button, do you get a flash from status led & short vibration?

No vibration, the red LED flashes three times, and that is , as I said before, what happens when the battery seems to not have any charge. If I have a charged battery it does absolutely nothing.
Have you removed sim & sd card and tried. I know it sounds dumb but when I flashed a bad kernel I had to try to connect flash mode like 10 times. Finally I left the phone unplugged from pc, started flashtool and started flashing. I only put battery in phone just before holding back key. I never connected USB until tool said to dis-connect phone and connect in flashmode.
i wish you luck, I know how I felt when it went wrong

Try to flash any latest kernel via flashtool . Go for doomkernel . I think its software issue . Try this first .
Almost same here please help..
Last night battery ran out of charge & phone switched off.. then i plugged the charger it doesn't charge.. after some time i tried turning on.. Vibrates with the green LED but nothing happens then..
Note: This is not the 1st time i'm letting my phone drain, but facing this problem for the 1st time..
Rom : Spikelabs GB Gaming rom
Kernel : Ferakernel v23 beta6
I tried another battery, charger, data cable.. Tried flashing stock & spikelabs kernel., but of no use..
Any help is greatly appreciated..
Thanks in advance.. :good:
Something like that happened to me not long ago!
I was trying to flash some ROMs and I messed up then my phone wouldn't turn on!
But Miracously, I could flash a Stock 2.3.3 which fixed the problem!
At first, I used Sony PC Companion, which helped a lot- and after I screwed it for the second time, I used FlashTool-
I don't know if this was helpful, but I hope your x10 will be fixed soon!
yeah try the PC Companion first, it helped me too a couple of weeks ago
No luck...
Hi friends..
Tried to repair using PC companion, but was able to connect only in flash mode, unable to proceed software update..
I previously tried flashing stock GB using flashtool thrice. Still couldn't switch on the phone.. What else may i try..
Thanks friends..

Now given at a better service centre. Will get back on monday it seems. Will update the status friends..
Thanks..
Here also they said the same reason friends.. Short in board..
Is there any way i could recover the phone???
I had a recent soft bricked due to some "unknown" problems which I couldn't figure out.
Anyways,I was able to boot into download mode and successfully flashed the stock jellybean firmware via Odin.
Now the problem is that my battery is empty and the phone is stuck on an what I think is an "Empty Battery Bootloop" was the battery icon blinking every 5 seconds or so.
Any ideas how to revive it ?
PS : I am unable to boot into recovery as well.
I have attached a screenshot of the issue I am facing.
Ur screenshot says... 404 error
Re-linked.
Maybe something went wrong while you were flashing the ROM via odin. First of all did you tick Only the right options while flashing in odin?
Supposing you did,
1. Maybe the ROM file which holds information for your battery might be facing curroption.
2. Maybe the kernel (the default one coming with the stock ROM) was not flashed properly.
In either case, I would suggest trying to boot into download mode and try to flash the whole thing all over again. If the problem persists, flash a different kernel/ROM or both.
II'm pretty sure that should fix the problem though.

Tried flashing via Odin for like three consecutive days.Still no luck.
I have googled it and found out that some users were facing the same problem when their battery was completely empty and the phone wont start because it didnt had enough juice to boot up.You know how to solve that problem?

Just keep it on charging wid 0.7mA or a 1mA charger for few hrs... if still it doesnt work..use a usb cord to charge via lappy...
Also use someone else's battery to boot up... and make a wipe data via stock recovery
Charged with USB for about 4-5 Hours.I cant get hold of a 1mA charger here.Using another battery is nearly impossible for me since none of my friends seem to have a S2.
Any other phone which has a battery identical to ours? (Or a Samsung phone with 4 pins possibly.)

Nope. Don't try a battery not designed for the device. Asking for trouble.
Time to change it with a new battery or hook up with an external charger?
PS : Took it to a local mobile repair shop and asked for a universal battery charger.
When I gave him the battery,the first thing he asked was if the phone ever got wet.
He said there's some I don't know what on the battery due to licking it.
I recently replaced the charging circuit from a trusted Samsung shop and he says it's totally fine.
Seems like some kind of corrosion on the battery.Any ideas on how to remove it ?
Anyone ?
The Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925V for Verizon turns on but it shuts down by itself exactly after 1 minute and 10 seconds and it would stay off. However, if the phone is connected to a USB charger, the phone would do the exact same thing but instead of staying off, the phone will turn on by itself and shut down after exactly the same time over and over. I already tried flashing compatible firmware but nothing changed. Could anybody help??
Does anybody have any ideas please???
Guys Help please!! Any ideas?

Thank you for replying. I tried wipping the data Cache but nothing changed.

So u r telling it happens only when its connected to a cable?
And how about installing recovery, cleaning system and then installing the rom again?

When the USB cable is on or not, it is the same result. I tried unplugging the USB port from the motherboard inside the phone and i get the same results.
Recovery works fine. I also tried flashing the phone with the last software. I even tried the Verizon software assistance. Same results.
