Hi all.
The battery on my SXS got down to 3% tonight, i went to connect the charger and the phone shut down on its own due to low battery. I connected the charger and its not charging.
Its been plugged in for about 20 mins now.
Is my SXS dead?!
I have tried another USB charger and tried it on my PC's USB port and nothing at all from it. It wont charge. No charge light and it wont power on.
Did u try the power button with volume up combined together to power up?
I did now and it worked!.. wow lol
What do you think was up with it??

Can you please switch off the phone and then try charging, just to see if the phone is being turned on automatically, which is the natural thing to do. Also check if the usb is being recognized when connected to a PC, to make sure that your cable is not broken.
Regards

Don't worry dude... same happened with me... ders nothing to worry about..
First of all.. remove battery for 15 mins... den put it in.. plug the power cable... DO NOT TURN ON....
The green light will glow... wait.. wait... the orange light must appear after 2 mins.. if not... just wait for it... it will go on...
I think it is caused when battery gets extremely empty... maybe... but it worked for me...

I was driving somewhere with my wife this morning and I had my phone plugged into the charger. All of a sudden, the phone just turned off. Nothing I've tried will turn it back on. If it is on the charger, there is no LED light. The phone is just dead.
I've tried holding the power button down for a minute or more. I tried the power button and volume down trick. Nothing. Nada.
If I can't get this thing working tonight, I will head to the Sprint store in the morning. I am expecting an important phone call tonight and I need to do something. Argh!
I've searched the issue and I've seen other people have had this issue, but no resolution that works for me yet. The only thing has been getting a new phone.

Try pluging the phone in to the charger and then unplug it and then plug it in again. I have noticed on mine that sometimes when I plug it in to charge the led will light up like its charging but it wont be charging, it will be discharging.
if you can charge your battery with an external charger do a shock to the battery .
maybe your battery is sleep.

Uhhh. Non-removable battery. Else, great idea: I've used that trick with removable batteries.
What happens if you plug the phone into the computer via USB instead of using the charger. Does it come on/charge then? Do you get the "USB device connected" sound from the computer?

QHUSB_DLOAD means that your phone is in emmc recovery mode. There's a tool out there for the EVO 3D called emmc_recover which can make it possible for you to flash images to partitions while in this mode. (this is the same tool that is used in the Evo 3D Hboot 1.5 downgrade method). I wonder if the same tool can be used in this case to flash a new hboot?

Mike, I tried that too. No response to that either. I was rooted but no custom ROM. I didn't make it to the Sprint store on Sunday. I was wiped after spending the day in the sun.
I'll be at the Sprint store in the morning and will let you guys know what happens. I'm using my wife's LTE with my number attached to it right now.
2 more hours until the sprint store opens. argh! I hope they don't give me **** about replacing it.

Heh,, so what did you do just before brick? Bad flash? Dropped it? Dog ate it? More info

i installed a custom rom, and it started losing power gradually even when it is connect to the computer. next day
it was like the condition rite now. you can see the red light, but the phone cannot boot, neither enter fastboot.
Try this: Not sure if it will work...
1) Just connect it to usb cable to pc... Leave it for few hrs..
2) Then open Sony PC Companion and try repair...
I Accidentaly bricked my gf acro s . Ended in bootloop and i did this.. It Worked.

Thanks,
I had a nasty problem, not charging with a new rom and not being able to fastboot etc, only a few seconds in recovery.
i searched my whole house for the acro-s dock, and plugged it in, then also plugged the usb on the phone to a pc usb port, don't know if that added some power, but this gave it enough power to instantly boot & charging... So now I can install a decent rom again.
~Help~
I plugged in my phone to the wall charger (because my phones battery was low not dead..) and when i checked whether it had charged after about 30 mins.. My phone DIDN'T respond.. my notification LED was flashing (Which means that my phone wasnt dead.. I pulled out the battery and put it back in right away.. My phone didnt boot up.. :crying: i pulled out my battery a couple more times thinking that it was a lose battery fault or something but no.. A few hours later i tried searching online for help.. I read some posts which had been posted on XDA saying that if your phone is soft Bricked u have to flash a new kernel and etc... i tried to boot my phone into Flashmode, it didnt respond. Not even fastboot mode.. When i connect my phone to a USB cable.. the notification LED gives out a red light and after 10-15 mins it goes off.. Its been almost a week now.. And Yes i've unlocked my Bootloader and rooter my XPERIA U. If you guys know something that i could do to get my phone back up and running again.. please tell me.. thanks in advance
I need to know which kernel were u using... may be kernel doesnt supports offline charging...
I am not sure whether its a hard brick... coz phones just dont brick themselves
Okay u can do some crazy things..
Try charging the phone via a wall charger... keep it for atleast an hour...
If it doesnt works...
Try wid a usb charger... connected to a laptop or so...
After this pull off the battery... keep it out for 10seconds or so..
Insert battery
Dont try to swtich on ..
Try connecting in fastboot mode ....

I was using Unofficial_StockJB_XU_V6 :good:
I tried charging via a wall charger for about 7 hours now :silly:
i'll try to charge with a USB charger connected to my pc.. Fingers crossed.. BTW
How long should i charge it i mean.. Do i have to wait for a sign?
(Like, the red charging light from the notificaton LED)
(the Red LED just turns on when i plug in the Wall/ USB charger and goes off after 10-15 mins)
or would the phone turn on by itself?

Remove the battery and leave it that way for an hour and then press and hold the power button for 60 seconds (without the battery)
and then insert the battery and try to enter the flashmode and report you might get it if it is not hardbrick.
prepare the stock rom in flashtool before you try to enter the flashmode in your phone....:good:

Sorry brimbi i can't help you any further than this, i'm not experienced in this field and only started a couple of days ago, this guide explains about soft & hard resets as well as brick symptoms, i hope it helps... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170
If you're using cm11 you should be able to boot into recover right?
This happened to me today. Last night I left my phone charging on my PC through the USB port. PC was off, but USB is still powered. Phone was on.
The next morning, after I woke up I noticed that when I pressed the power button nothing happened. I plugged the cable off my PC, then back on, and the led was staying lit up red. Nothing when I pressed the power button again. No fastboot, nothing.
Finally, I plugged the phone using the original Sony adapter to the mains. It showed the Sony logo and it started charging. At least, so I thought. After a couple of hours, I checked the charging progress and nothing, battery was showing empty. So I tried to power the phone on while still charging. It booted Android and it was showing charging, but 0%. I powered the phone back off, it immediately started charging and battery progress was about 80%.
My guess is that somehow battery stats files were corrupted/deleted. Luckily the phone did not get bricked. I am on Android 4.0 ICS.

It seems XSola has issue with this. My previous phone which is Xsola did suffer from this issue multiple times though. On my ex-XU (too) never had this problem and in my current XP i've had once.
