USB Charging Problem - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Hi all,
I've recently reverted my Neo V back to Gingerbread after a couple of months running ICS.
I'm using EmannXperia's 'codename_ei8ht' ROM, with the following firmware and kernel:
FW: 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028D-64
Kernel: [email protected] #4 (night Elf v9.6 experimental lite, as recommended in EmannXperia's ROM thread)
The FW, Kernel and ROM all flashed/installed (I use flashtool) with no errors/issues. The phone runs beautifully (it's good to be back to GB after weeks of ICS lag/instability ), however I now have the following problem - when the phone is turned off, it won't charge from my powered USB hub. Normally when charging powered-off, the phone firmware starts on connection (the SE logo is displayed) and the battery charging symbol appears briefly in the display. However, when I connect it to my hub, there is no start-up or display activity, and the LED goes green immediately (regardless of battery discharge level). When powered back up after being connected in this way, the battery has discharged. If left overnight, it will discharge fully.
I use the OE USB cable that came with the phone, and have never had a problem with USB charging before. It still charges fine from either its original SE mains charger (using the same USB cable) or from a Blackberry mains charger.
**Update** I have now re-flashed the stock .62 FW and NightElf kernel (v9.6 LE) and reinstalled the ROM from a Nandroid.
Any advice gratefully accepted...

SII Battery Defect?

So i bought SII and it was working fine in gingerbread.. then i upgraded it to 4.0.3 and after flashing it wont boot. then i plugged in the charger and it shows low battery though its fully charged. and due to low battery error i cant even enter the download mode.
now it boots to stock recovery( while the charger is plguged in) and when i click reboot now from there it boots normally and then i remove the charge and it works fine. but if i restart normally, it again shows the error and also wont enter the download mode. Help please.
Try to find another battery and see what the phone says then...

it somehow got fixed for a minute and i could flash gingerbread and now its working fine.. but i am afraid to update to ICS now..
You could have a defected usb port... Check around for the false charging to see if you have the same symptoms... ICS gives you an error when this happens but GB doesn't

[SOLVED] xt910 turns off when unplug charger

I had a problem playing on saftestrap and lost my stock ROM.
I tried to apply a ROM via RSD and the phone started looping during boot, rebooting until the battery drained.
I cut a usb cable and plugged straight into the battery contacts, managed to put in fastboot and used the package XT910.Retail.BR_Unbrick.zip. The package worked, and via recovery and I applied the update Blur_Version.982.124.17.XT910.Brasil.en.BR.zip and it updated my android to JB 4.1.2.
Now the phone only works plugged into the wall outlet, if I disconnect the charger, it turns off immediately, even the android saying that the battery is 100% charged. Can anyone help me?
It's working now, it was a problem in the battery contacts.

Problems with offline charging

I'm havin problems with offline charging after i installed cm11. I've tried change kernel and change rom (i'm using PA rom now) and i'm still with the same problem.
When i plug the charger on my phone while turned off, it shows a battery icon with a question mark on it and i think it's not charging. Is this a general problem or did i make something wrong?
Try keeping it plugged in. See if it charges or not.
Also,did you change your bootlogo?
I didn't change my bootlogo. it boots motorola bootloader and then shows the battery icon with the question mark. I left my phone charging this way for a couple of hours and tried to turn it on. my phone booted with 0% battery and then shutted down, so definitely it is not charging. other thing I notice is that when my phone enter this buggy offline charging mode, I have to press power button + volume down to reboot my phone, it kind of get stuck in this mode when my phone enter it
Try using a different charger.
It doesn't seem to be a common issue.
Can you power up the phone whilst charger connected.?
I've tried two different chargers, one of my Moto X and the original one. If I want to charge the phone I need to turn it on first and then plug the charger. I can't turn it on with the charger on cuz it is stuck on that screen with the battery icon
I'm starting to think I've done something wrong. I did the following to get where I am right now:
I was on stock firmware, so I rooted the phone and installed the newest version of SS. Then I downloaded cm11 and gapps and copied to the phone. I entered the SS and wiped everything. After that I installed cm11 and gapps.
When I discovered that issue I've tried install JBX kernel to fix it and nothing. then I wiped everything again and installed PA rom + gapps and still that issue. Did I do something wrong?
No, you didn't do anything wrong.
Since its persistent across both ROMS, its not a ROM issue either.
In my opinion, its most probably a problem with port or the board. The port doesn't deliver enough power.
You can try flashing the stock ROM back, it might repair in case something s/w related is corrupted. If it doesn't work after that, then its a h/w glitch for sure.
just in case, if I install stock rom and the problem goes away, what might be causing this problem?
I can't re-flash stock rom because I can't charge my phone and I can't boot into the rom or recovery. I don't think fastboot charges my phone. I just realized that bootloader is locked. Maybe this is the problem, isn't it?
it isn't a h/w glitch because before cm11 it was OK to charge offline
You'll need a factory cable to flash in case your phone has insufficient power.
Look for it, there's a guide about making one in the general section I suppose.
No need, I've managed to charge the phone through USB on my pc. When I plug the charger on my phone, that glitch happens, but when I plug the USB on my pc, the phone lights up a white led and apparently it charges the phone (slower, but charges). That's really weird. I really want to know what is happening to my phone

help with i9300 rebooting

hi,
i have a s3 i9300 on hand and it restarts. i did a hard reset and flashed it a couple of time but still doesn't work. now when i plug it in on a charger in a wall socket, it shows the battery icon for a second then restarts, then makes a loop over and over. when i turn it on and plug it in my computer it charges and doesn't restart. but when i plug it in a wall charger, it restarts and repeats the same loop.
it's rooted and the device info are listed below:
baseband version: i9300nelk2
build number: jzo54k i9300xxella
thanks!
edit:
additional info:
when i plug in the battery it turns on automatically.
when it's on download mode i have about 10 secs before i can start flashing, otherwise it will restart.
So you tried to downgrade and it failed..
You need to flash a 4.3 rom. Remove the battery and see if it stays alive in download mode on cable power alone. Use a motherboard usb port on your pc.
If it stabilises then flash the latest rom. You cannot downgrade without an efs backup from BEFORE 4.1.2.

Samsung GT-I8552: Unable to access recovery mode and battery issues

Hello,
I'm using GT-i8552 stock 4.1.2 (UNROOTED).
I did root my phone with 'Framaroot', the rooting was successful and SuperSU was installed properly. After this I didn't try installing any custom ROMs or any conflicting apps but still I started facing battery issues like,
1. After putting on charge, display shows that it is charging but no progress at all (it freezes at certain %)
2. When the phone is switched off and put on charge, the display just blinks up and goes off (lights on lights off) nothing else appears and no battery progress
3. Sometimes the phone charges properly to 100% but after disconnecting cable, battery status is 50-60%
The above problems occur not all the time.
The things that I tried,
1. Did unroot my phone and removed SuperSU
2. Did a factory reset from phone's settings option.
3. Got an original new battery from service center
4. Took the phone to Samsung customer care (they couldn't find any problem at all and advised that the problem must be in the charger) (I tried to charge with samsung charger, sony's charger & portable charger)
5. Changed USB cables for charging
6. Tried Battery Calibration apk by Nema
7. I think the charging port is little bit damaged but I can still get the phone to charge
Even after doing all the above things the problems still occur sometimes. Other than that the phone works fine, there is no BOOTLOOP.
When I try to boot it into recovery mode (volume up+home+switch on and release after SAMSUNG logo) but after releasing the buttons the SAMSUNG GT-i8552 logo appears and phone starts with no warning and all, it's not accessing the recovery mode or download mode too.
Is there any solution to the battery related issues or do I need to flash the stock firmware again?
I am not aware of the steps of flashing firmware, please do redirect.
Thank You!!
