Hi,
I have this new problem for a couple of weeks now. My X10 mini will not charge when switched on.
The problem coincides with the time I started using my Laptop to charge my X10 mini.
It occasionally starts charging while switched on, but stops after few minutes. I am forced to switch off the phone to charge it properly.
At present it charges when connected to my laptop, even when it is switched on.
Can anyone please guide me to fix this problem.
I have rooted the device.
If there is a shell command, that I can run to kick start the charging, I shall do it too...
Thank you.

Need Help with Charging when Phone is On
There should be some program that is triggered when on connecting the Charger while the phone is switched off, that is not auto triggered when the Phone is switched On.
If I switch on the phone while it is charging, the charging continues.
Does anyone know of a fix to this yet?
Thanks,

The phone detects if a charge is coming in, whether it's turned on or off. The only thing is that charging via USB (through a computer) is not as reliable as charging through the grid, using the wall-charger. Charging with the wall-charger is the preferred option.

I am plugged into the wall socket charger when I face this problem.
So how to solve this? Is there some changes I can do to a script file so that the program for charging kicks in as is required when the phone is connected to the charger?
Please help.

I've seen this thing on my own phone when the battery was too low. Don't let it go below 10% and only charge it with the wall-charger. The only time my phone is connected to my computer is when i want to change a rom or kernel, and only for a couple of minutes. In any case, i recharge it when it comes down to around 20% (say between 15 and 20), and only using the wall-charger and i do not see that problem anymore.

Hi,
Just thought I'd update.
I generally plug into the charger, once the battery reaches low (when the battery bar turns RED, 15 - 20 %).
And I always use the Wall Socket charger, as the charging is quicker. (I used the PC when I suspected the Charger Adapter)
And what I see is, though the charger is connected, and the tiny LED glows Orange (charge > 10%) or Red (Charge <=10%), the battery icon shows the charging symbol for a moment and then returns to discharge.
Same thing happens even if I disconnect the charger (MicroUSB end) and connect again.
If I shutdown the phone, the phone boots up and enters the charging mode.
Now if I switch on the phone, the charging continues.
I have even changed the Battery to try fix this, with no effect.
I understand that I'll have to charge it going forward before the charge gets below 20%. I shall do that.
But I still want to fix this problem where I don't want to be forced to restart the phone every day just to trigger the charging.
Please help.

About the having to reboot to get the charging going, you can't fix that yourself, but hopefully it goes away. I've had that same issue where is stopped charging after a couple of seconds, but when i got my battery back up to somewhat normal, that issue disappeared by itself.

Hi
I think my phone is a little broke,
It ran out battery last night so i put it on charge this morning.
was on charge by wall for 10 min to get some battery then swapped over to car when i was driving it turned off now when i try and charge it at work via a usb wire and cplug converter i just get the battery logo with the spining circle for a few seconds it flashes then goes off does this about 6 times then the screen just goes off and will not do anything
anyone know any fixes or has it gotta go to samsung ?
Thanks
Have you tried taking out the battery?
Please let us know if it starts working again.
tried that, its like its not getting the power it needs for thats first few seconds as the buttons at the bottom flash on then off again
With the phone OFF. Leave it charging for four hours using the supplied mains charger.
With the phone OFF do you see a picture of the battery showing how much charge you have when you plug the phone into the mains charger? How much charge does it show?
it comes up with the b attery with a circle logo init then turns off then comes back to that over and over again,
i dont have the proper charger on me just the usb wire and a plug to usb
Think getting somewhere, tried a mates battery that works fine, mates charger wont charge on my phone but will my battery in his, so i guess my micro usb port is broke :'(
I've been having a weird problem with my Z2. When plugged into my car or my laptop I get an error message to say that the "phone is using more power than what is being supplied" and it stops charging. However, when I unplug the phone the LED stays red, and the lightning symbol appears by the battery and doesn't go off until a reboot.
Is this happening to anyone else? I've only successfully managed to charge it with the mains adapter and cable it came with, no other adapters work?
I get the same but i plug it in again and remove and it fixes
Or even a reboot does it

I had it replaced by CPW - even after a reboot it still thought it was being charged. Restore didn't fix it either.
They switched it out no problem.

Same here. If I use the magnetic charger in the car and then remove it, the charging light stays on. If plug the phone into the dock at home and remove it, the charging LED turns off. Not sure what's causing it.
Maybe its because, as shown on included leaflet, dock charger is dedicated to wall charges?
I have noticed that sometimes the time it says it has been on battery is way off, I took mine off the magnetic charging dock yesterday at 12:00pm but when I check in the battery section it is saying 17 hours 58 mins & 47 secs on battery, it should be saying 1 day & 1 hour on battery.
Hello,
Im having problem with charging My xperia z2
Recently I tried using magnetic charger for first time but it wasn't charging at all and phone started getting more heat so I removed it and got back to USB normal charging but now its not working as usual... when I connect usb charger phone showing charging symbol and red light on but its not charging at all, turned off phone and tried charging while phone off still same ..getting red light on and charging bar in the middle of screen and phone stuck on same percentage and goes down slowly even it keeps screen on charging bar after I unplug the charger !?!
I tried hard reset using power button and vol+ afew times some of the tries worked and phone charged normally but after i plug the usb charger again problem gets back ... so i keep resetting phone many times till i get lucky and charge normally
Also tried factory reset and flashing new stock ... still same
I don't know but i have feel that magnetic port causing problems for battery even i didn't use magnetic charger again
and i read somewhere it might be possible to disable magnetic port?
any idea?
help would be appreciated
any help?
When you connected the magnetic charger first time, have you connected it in the correct way? If it is connected upside down, it ll cause serious issues..
LikeTh3DON said, you probably connected your magnetic charger in the wrong side. I've done the same with my D6503, and I have the same issue. I already looked to change the battery, nothing change, it's a chip on the motherboard I think.
Look on that thread, some users have the same issue, no solution so far:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2745786&page=3
If you can, use sony's usb cable and charger, or a usb port on your laptop, don't know if it's related, but my phone charge easier with those. If it's the same issue than mine, your phone will charge to 85-90% and the screen will constantly goes on. When it happen unplug your phone or it will heat a lot without charging.
Same thing accidently done with me.now phone dsnt charging with megnatic cable(charging on and off regularly) nd with USB its have same problem when battery % reaches above 90.
Please give me solution..
Is that repair is available for this issue?

Hey,
I haven't necessarily got a solution for your problem but thought I can offer you my opinion. I've used solely the magnetic charger for nearly a year as my USB port has clean snapped off from my logic board. The whole time I've not had an issue, the only time the device heats is during intensive games or/whilst charging.
I know that people have had issues with the magnetic charging port in the past, it's a relatively easy fix, however, will involve opening the device and stripping out a lot of the parts to get to the ribbon.... up to you what you want to do.
Guess I should ask the obvious, have you tried different cabled/ chargers etc?? the fault could potentially lie with the cables if they've been damaged/frayed.
SGP521 LTE version tablet running MM not charging using magnetic cable nor usb-cable. Tried both original and spare and also different wall charges. No luck.
Tried also software repair via Xperia Companion but no success.
When tablet powered off I connect the charger, red light comes on for few seconds and then goes off. Tablet shows the battery percentage but is not charging.
When tablet on and I connect charger the tablet sounds like usb is connected and shows also usb-connected icon. Also stamina goes off when charger connected but battery does not charge.
I have only 20% battery left and soon the device will die...
Any ideas what's the root cause for "not_charging" -issue? What to do to get charging feature back alive?
Hello I had this identical issue a week or so ago with my SGP511. The solution for me in the end was to plug the charger in using original SOny charging cable and plug. The red light went on then off again and screen stayed off, but i left it overnight for about 10 hours. In the morning the tablet was still dead but i unplugged the charger, then plugged it in again. This time the red light stayed on, and after a few minutes, the screen lit up and it started to charge.
Please note this took me several days of constantly unplugging and plugging back in, so not sure what the final fix was but the above was the last thing i did before it started to work.
Sooo
Since Ive had it, as long as I remember My Z2 wouldnt properly charge via usb, common but that it wont charge over 85 percent, after that its just sort of "twitching", the charging light keeps blinking like it keeps getting disconnected, regardless of cable/charger. It would still connect OK to PC while constantly blinking, without disconnects. Latest stock rom. Also, Offline charging never worked, it would always boot when plugged in while powered off.
SO, I used a magnetic charger, and that worked fine, no blinking, 100%, until i believe the cable broke. So I went and thought I will try a custom Rom, seems like a software Issue maybe.
Now, on Resurrection Remix, even at low charge, it keeps blinking like crazy, like it keeps getting plugged in, screen wakes all the time, and so it loses charge while plugged in. Tried the QC 2 fast charging kernel mod, but no change. It just keeps alternating between charging and charging slowly, constantly waking the device.
Right now, the only way to add charge is to offline charge, powered off plugged in via usb it works fine
Using the original charger and cable that came with the phone, but its the same with others too. Anybody have a solution?
