Battery not charging while the device is turned off Problem - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I have a Sony Live with walkman WT19i. Recently I updated to android 4 and installed some mods like quick panel, beats audio, Xperia S Walkman player from xda threads via CWM.
Now I see that whenever my phone is turned off and plugged into a charger, it charges so much slowly. Instead of showing a battry charging logo/bar/animation, the phone display shows the sony logo and then after 2/3 second it turns off again. This keeps going on and on.
The LED that must be lit while charging does not lit up. This LED problem is absent while the device is on.
What is the problem with my phone?

Its a chargemon problem with your CWM installation. If you have an unlocked bootloaded flash mesa1.6

If your bootloader is locked, you can just replace the charger file in /system/bin. It has been posted here in the general subforum somewhere. Search for it.

I had a similar issue this afternoon. Strangely, my battery wouldn't charge past 95% no matter what, even when turned on.
I was about to blame Rage kernel but it soon started charging again. Guess it was just having a bad day haha.

It works on locked bootloader (mine is locked), but you do have to have a root access.

Busybox usually gets installed automatically after you root the phone. You can either install in using Flashtool or Play store.

Xperia doesnt start

Hi there
The xperia of a friend doesnt boot anymore?
He told me he pushed on update under settings and he had and 1.6 that i know off.
I tried flashboot but in the middle of the instalation it gives me a error.
Also i chanched the battery because it kept falling off out suddenly.
Whit the new battery it started normal bt after update it cant boot anymore?
thats all the information i got
Could this be a usb problem in the charger the led goes green on the phone and also the pc recognize it.
Sorry 4 the bad english btw
Thanx in advance

A quick simple to use fix is Re-flashing using SEUS "sony Erricson Update Service"
Or using the FlashTool from the development thread.
AFter 11 retrys on SEUS it installed the update.
when the phone turned on i saw a picture of a camera and after that a sony ericson logo.
And then it turned off and it doesnt go on again.
Even with the new battery installed + a new cable????
But the green light says its charging but maybe it isnt?
USB port problem?????
Finally got it going android starts everything works but now the phone turns off out of nowhere?

[Q] X10 will not turn on at all

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???

Xperia mini pro will turn off when entering apps without charger

First let me tell you i just reflashed it with the companion,i selected repaired...everything went ok BUT:
like before:
-the phone won't start unless there is something charging it,it will get to the xperia logo and then back to the sony logo forever
-it starts if i plugin the cable AND EVERYTHING works fine if i keep the cable in
-if i remove the cable,if i enter in the camera app,the phone will shut down
So,I can't enter in the camera app & start the phone without the cable.And no,it's not the battery,if i start it with the cable and then remove the cable,and just leave it on for hours,there aren't any problems,so the battery is not the issue.
I said I flashed it using the companion,so there isn't any possibility that I could've done something wrong.
What could it be?!

Sorry to tell you, but it could maybe be a hardware error. Try reflashing the original system with Seuss.

seuss? can you point me to a tutorial?
Also: I already flashed the rom using the companion,isn't it the original one?!
The phone is not mine,it's a from a friend of mine.From what I got untill now,he got the phone from another person and so on,but when he got it,it already had this weird problem.
So no way to solve it?

I used the bluetooth numerous number of times, but never had any problem,

The phone stopped responding for 2 sec, i thought its normal for android, and then it restarted.Until that point it was normal..
But then its stuck in bootloop.....
i saw various posts and have seen people have got to boot into system once in a while....
but bad for my luck i am trying from 24hrs... but no luck...
out of 10 boots or when battery is removed from phone from long time, phone shows lock screen for a milisecond and goes back to XPERIA logo and same story continues...
FYI: i had previous soft brick when used OTA update but got rid of it using "UnbrickingXperia2011.zip",
Please help me,,, i cant imagine a day without my best phone...

I have same problem, just wipe dalvik cache and then after reboot install this "bluetooth fix repair" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phk.bluetoothfixrepair

[Q] X10...dead?

Hi,
My x10 shut down today after experiencing massive battery drain. When I plugged it into the charger, it didn't restart. I've tried flashing two different kernels, the FeraKernel for GB and DoomKernel. I also tried flasing the evervolv ftf file as a last resort. No change.
Is it dead? Anything I can do?
Flash original firmware with flashtool, also try to charge the battery and check if it isn't broken.

Thanks. But when I flashed that, it wouldn't start up properly. I saw the Sony Ericsson logo for a second or two before the screen turned off again. WHen I tried to turn it on again, the red led flashed three times.
EDIT : after plugging it in, it woke up again. Looks like the X10 really won't die!
P.S you forgot to mention that that was an Eclairs ROM

From what you're indicating it sounds like your battery is dead/not holding a charge.
[a] You probably need a new battery, or charge the existing one for a good 12hrs and then see if it still holds a charge,
If not then go back to [a]
If possible you can just use SEUS (Sony Update Service) or PC Companion to flash the stock GB 2.3 Sony firmware.

Well, I have always used this ROM to repair my Xperia.
The name was 2.1, so You could have seen that it's eclair.
And if You're still having problems with phone shuting down then it's for sure the battery, I had this problem.
