The battery was too low and I didn't charge it at the night time. In the morning it was completely dead so plugin the charger, the orange charging light turned on once and after that it didn't turned on? Please help.
If it is completely dead it always takes a few minutes of charging time before the orange light shows up. Don't try to power it up until it has had at least 30 minutes or so of charge time.

How do i fix it ? please help ... there's even no charging light even I plug it into the charger.
If it has been on the charger for more than 30 minutes and no orange light, you need an external way to charge the battery.
When the battery is past a certain point, CWM prevents it from charging, which is why we don't use it.

Stick it in the phone and flash amon ra recovery. Download it from the link in my sig and rename to PH98IMG.zip and flash in bootloader.

This usally works for me. Hold the power button down as you are reinserting the battery. Was in the same situtaion where I half way through a warrenty replacement process when I figured it out.

If the battery was dead, it may take 20 mintues or more on a charger before you see a charging light. If the orange LED is flashing when you hit the power button, it means it does not have enough juice to power on. Make sure it is connected to a wall charger, and wait. If you flashed a rom incorrectly, you many have to pull the battery for about an hour before trying to reinsert it. Lastly, I also had a faulty battery initially and once replaced with a new one, worked fine.
check this out its at walmart.
external lithium ion battery charger second on the list is the universal one you can find them by the digital camera equip at most walmarts http://www.walmart.com/search/searc...ind&_ta=1&search_query=digipower&_tt=digi-pow once your batteries charged put it back in your phone and flash a different recovery preferably this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339679

I tried it but it didn't work.
Hi guys, i consider myself an intermediate around the android OS and i have tried most solutions that came to my head with no results.
My problem is the following:
My xperia ray is running stock rom ICS and is rooted. That's it
One day my battery suddenly drained to 0% and phone shut off.
Since then, i cannot charge it. Whenever i plugged it, the led blinks red /sometimes keep blinking/something always red/sometimes the phone boots after 10 seconds from entering the main page it will reboot.
I tried a different battery, the phone worked, so i bought another battery but the same happened, it suddenly went to 0% and not charging anymore.
Now I cannot access the phone via USB since it is not recognized and i can't work on it since there is no power,
What can i do to at least unroot it before sending it to warranty?
Try reflashing..

Heard of universal charger??Charge your battery to 100% using a universal charger..get a stock ftf file from here
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239
use flash tool and flash your phone with this stock ftf file..
then your phone should work..

unlocked bootloader and rooted, or can you root without unlocking it? I actually forgot since the ray was always my secondary device.
Do you mean i rule out any hardware problem, this is related to software only ? Since my Pc cannot recognize the phone, it gives me usb device not recognized..
Might be a hardware problem..cant say for sure..

We cannot rule out any hardware problem as of now..,yes you can root without unlocking the bootloader.
This might be a software issue..are you running on stock kernel ?
Can you enter into fastboot or flash mode ?
Have u installed the adb drivers? does your pc recognise any other xperia 2011 phone ?

My phone isn't holding any charge, the battery is always 0, when charging it only gives red lights. Sometimes the phone will boot, it will show the xperia logo, go into the main lockscreen for 5 seconds then shuts off.
Buying a universal charger would mean waiting for 1 month for it to be delivered since i only found it on ebay

Was it damaged by water?
it's really easy to check if it was water damaged, open the back cover and look for a small WHITE rectangle, if you see a red rectangle it was water damaged, same with the battery it has a small white rectangle
IF NOT..see if SUS or PC companion recognises the phone..Repair your phone if it recognises.
IF NOT take out your phone battery for 15 seconds..put it back turn on the phone..and connect the charger but DO NOT SWITCH ON YOUR PHONE..let it charge for 5 HRS continuously..
IF NOT Try using another battery to turn your phone on...and see if it charges up..
Still NOT working?,Have you unlocked your boot loader ?
Regards..

Thank you for your suggestions, i did something in the meanwhile.
I have a co-worker who has the exact phone, so i put my battery in her phone and charged it. In the meantime, i used her battery inside my device and used flashtool to flash stock ICS.
My device had bootloader unlocked, i managed to lock it back.
Now after i have a clean ICS copy unrooted. I return my friends phone, put in my battery and put it on the charger, the phone recognizes the charger, it gives me the small flash logo on the battery icon but the battery meter is not charging.
I'm afraid it's going to stay on until the battery drains to 0 and then i'm back to square one.
At least now i'm unrooted and can check the sony service center if they could do anything.

The battery voltage is increasing or not ?
Do not trust the battery meter...The voltage reading will tell whether its working fine or not..
Close to 4200 mV is 100%
While 3400 mV is low battery less than 10% typically..
Hope i helped you..Just hit thanks instead of sayin..U know there is a button..

Well when it's plugged in, the lockscreen says charging. The battery icon has the flash sign on it. It is recognized by my Laptop. But the battery status is discharging and i monitored the voltage, it was decreasing.

Check if the port is clean and check the battery pins and pins on your phone.
Do you have the possibility to test another battery? So you can be sure it's not just your battery...
did you have try to let the smartphone shutdown by itselft? and charging the battery after that...
Sounding more and more like a hardware problem. If you have access to a voltmeter, turn your phone off, remove the battery and plug your phone in, check the voltage coming out of the battery terminals in the back. It should be ramping from 1 V to around 3.6 V (at least from the USB port, it might be higher from the wall charger).

thanks for the reply guys, I'm updating the thread so other people might benefit from reading it. I went to Sony service center. The technician first told me there was water damage, although i'm confident that the phone was never dropped in water. Also he showed me that the pins for the battery were bent.
He said he will inspect the motherboard, if it's not corroded (from water) he will replace the motherboard since it's still on warranty.
If it is corroded, he can't do anything.
The strange thing is that the phone is working 100% except i cannot charge it. USB function is working correctly.
PS: Always Unroot and re-lock your bootloader before sending to service, they will check for these and can refuse to serve you by the warranty.
Hello I'm new here. Sorry if i broke any rules with regarding to posting threads. I have a xperia mini who can't operate without the charger. This happened last night when i calibrated my phone then it suddenly shuts down. I think i miss calibrated it that much that it reads my battery percentage as 0% even when the battery has some juice in it. Pleas help me guys I'm new on this kinds of stuff. Thanks

i dont understand your problem.... again, do this:
plug charger & boot phone.
install that app & load your device to 100% (or just for 1-2 hours)
open that app. (DONT REMOVE CHARGER!!!!!) then press on calibrate battery.
power off phone normally. NOW UNPLUG
try to turn on that phone.
also maybe your battery is dead. so need a new one....
Sir the phone needed to be connected to a charger before I power it up because if I power on the phone by itself it won't open

I think I encountered this kind of problem once. It happened when I swap my empty battery with a new one. Difference are, mine still manages to turn on without charger but battery meter shows almost empty (it actually had full juice) so the phone shuts down after homescreen. Try wiping dalvik, somehow it fixes the calibration for me.
Or look for DisableCriticalBatteryShutdown on xposed installer downloads.

then, if its full on 100% use the battery calibration app (leave it on charger). after using it, reboot via reboot menu. if the phone vibrates once, pull off charger. take out battery. put it in back & try to start the phone. if still not starting i think you have some HW damage... or maybe just battery dead but if you say its charging normally till 100% i guess its more a HW damage

Got my phone fixed. It's just a battery problem. I replaced the old one. Thank you guys
I charged my phone night before last and I used it in the morning. I left it on top of the bed when I had to do stuff.
I went to get my phone and my wife said it was warm and that she found it under the blanket. The blue notification light was flashing but I could not get the screen to come on via the power buttom.
I cannot get the phone to respond using any methods.
Could my phone have just died in an instant?

I pulled the battery and I put the battery back in but the phone would not power on.
No indication when it is charging.
Kies wont recognize it.
Wont power on, at all.
Stock rom with only a few extra apps. I deleted most of my apps when my phone would randomly lock up.
Could be bad battery. Try getting to recovery as soon as you plug in charger.

It needs a fair amount of current during boot up, a charger may not supply enough.
Batteries last 1-3 years. I just look at replacing them as part of normal maintenance.
Get it out of there before it fails... any swelling is an Li failure which can cause severe damage.
hey thanks for the info
I tried to start from stock using Rescue tool from motorola
everything went normal but now i tried to boot up and nothing happens even with the charger plug in

Try replacing the battery, then go from there.
It may be a dead end but you need to eliminate it as the cause. You could also check it's voltage after a failed boot to get an idea of it's condition.
Fully charge it first... and don't short it out while measuring it. Measure before and right after boot attempt with no charger.
4.3 volts is about 100%
3.9 volts is about 70%
3.5 volts is about 20%
Since it's a no load reading at 100% it should be near 4.3 volts. After the attempt if it drops below 4 volts it's likely toast.
Thanks
But isn't the display supposed to turn on when I plug in the charger
Not even the display shows anything..

Probably time to have it examined. May be a loose connector, a C-port or a mobo failure.
