Device: E10i
Firmware: MiniCM9(ICS I think)before, Then changed it into MiniCM10, before finally reverting into MiniCM7
Hi, I just got my E10i yesterday after it was confiscated by my mom. So I think it was left uncharged for around 2-3 months. so, of course, the first thing I did was to plug it up into a wall charger, and. went to school and I left it like that for around 5 hours? After I got home, I noticed it only started charging few minutes ago because the battery was still at red (like 1-10%)
After a few hours, I decided to finally turn it on. It was only like 5% charged. I reverted my phone into MiniCM7 from MiniCM10.. Well afterwards, I decided to jam in a few apps there in my phone since it was freshly wiped. Then I left my phone charging for a few minutes because I needed to get something. When I got back. The screen was fully black. No even LED lights if its charging or what. Then I thought the battery was just drained. (Opps, I forgot to mention, I forgot to wipe battery stats after installing new rom, but I think a fresh wipe did that already)/
Then, I went to sleep with the device still plugged into the AC adaptor. Then I woke up around 3AM (I went to sleep around 11PM) and to find it's still black. I tried doing a hard reset, turning it on. No response. Like a paperweight. Then, I wiggled the cable and tried changing sockets hoping that it's the problem. Then went back to sleep. I finally woke up today, at around 7AM. No luck. Still like that. Tried plugging it into the PC. etc. SEUS can't even detect it! Please I don't want to take it to the Service Center since it's a hundreds of miles away from here. Thanks a bunch!
EDIT: Tried, removing the battery and plugging it again. No luck,
Bump.. Something came across my mind. Do you think it's the rom? because From JellyBean, I downgraded to MiniCM7., Installed the nAa-kernel14 and installed the MiniCM7. I never saw if it was charging by the time I left it. Maybe that's why the battery was drained. Now, I have no luck, I tried different cables and tried charging without the battery, still no indication of life (No red light blinking, etc.) I tried leaving it charging overnight, still nothing.
Any suggestions (without taking it to the Service Center)? Thanks a bunch everybody

I think your battery was drained completely when your mom confiscated it, and it's truly dead by now
Hm, It wasn't I was able to charge ti (Although it tooooook a loong time like 5 hours to get that red light blinking) and was able to switch from ICS to JellyBean to Gingerbread before it was dead. I was able to send a few SMS. Hmm, after that the battery went dead? Is there a way to check if the battery is still alive?

Yeh, it doesn't hold much charge, and it doesn't hold it for long. Replacement batteries can be quite cheap on sites like e-bay or something, but they're tricky to replace. If charging it for that long doesn't get any decent results, i don't hold much hope for you.
Hmm, is it possible to turn on the device if I remove the battery and plug the charger in? I tried that and it doesn't work. Maybe It's a hardware problem or similar. Also, one of the volume buttons just fell off. Im frustrated! > <, Its my only phone, and I'm a student, I can't buy a new one.
Hello, i've a small Problem with my brand new Lumia 920...
yesterday i got it from postal service, after installing everything the battery got empty... ok no problem... pluged in the charger, i know from my HD7 that it could take a few minutes that the phones charges a bit before next boot...
but the lumia 920 didn't boot also not after about 1 hour on charger...
i just see the nokia messages then a small flicker line on the bottom of the screen and then it resets (i know it resets because the recognized devices, nokia bootloader and another one, by windows disapears)
and the "empty red" battery symbol apears with a charger sign when plugged in (whats normally be total normal) when trying to boot without charger then just the "empty red" battery symbol apears!!
when on charger, after the batterysymbol, i can see that the display isn't turning off, just showing black but has some light on it... definitly not that black when the phone is turned off completely...
yesterday i tried a few button combinations... plugin with volume down, shows a flash on the screen... after that the phones boots normally..
today i ran out again of battery, but now nothing helps...
anyone got this issue too?? any tip what i can try or do??
are you using the original charger?
The 920 needs high current charger in order to charge normally.
yeah i had this to about a week ago, just sit it on charge for a long long time with the stock charger. mine took probably 4-5 hours, then hit the on button and it came on (still saying it was flat, but turned on at least). havent had the issue since.
Edit: also, are you running stock rom? just wondering as im on flashed portico and i literally just saw another bloke with the portico update complaing of the same thing... which has me wondering if its firmware or something else..
Hello,
i guess i have the portico update allready...
my carrier released the phones 3 weeks ago...
i'm on 8.0.10211.204
1232.5951.1249.1002
i'm using of course the original charger that have come with the phone...
as it looks like it really takes many hours... so as yesterday on mine... i tried everthing... than i decided to let it alone... after watching TV the phone rings sometimes about a new message... !? wtf.... i will try next time when the battery rans out to just let it on the charger a few hours without trying to press some button combinations or disconnect and reconnect a few times ...
but i'm pretty sure this has something todo with that, that the screenlight is still on when on charger and this batterysymbol w charger icon apears or better said than disapears...
i thing the display still drains current and so the charge take longer to have the minium charge for boot... ?!
I have the same problem after I flashed it to portico
my phone still charging for 1 hour to start up & when it done the battery was 6%
ok, no i've changed my response, my phone went flat yesterday about 7am (perth time), its been on charge since, and no boot. (what am i up to? 27 hours?) ive tried different chargers (my Qi wireless charger, stock charger, random microusb charger), even tried different wall sockets. stressful....
Edit: sent back to nokia. apparently its bricked. also, holding the volume down button and plugging in the charger is meant to display an explanation mark while the phone is switched off. the person i spoke to at Nokia asked me to do this, but mine didnt display anything, thats when she decided it was bricked. i wonder if its anything to do with flashing the custom firmware... apart from this issue, the rom felt very stable.
Hello,
I have an unrooted Z2. With around 30% battery left, I put it in the charging dock on my desktop yesterday evening. After 1 or 2 hours, I noticed that the phone is completely dead - no LEDs are blinking, no vibration, nothing. I tried pressing the power button alone, in combination with VolumeDown, VolumeUp, CameraButton, for more than 30 seconds each. I tried pressing down the tiny red button next to the SIM slot for awhile. Nothing. Phone is dead like a brick.
The only result I'm getting is when I plug it into my computer (ubuntu 14.10) - the LED bar on top is showing a constant red color in this case. Doing the button presses outlined above in this situation is also pointless.
I'm installing flashtool for Linux right now, the connection is pretty slow and it will take awhile. I hope to find out more afterwards. I'm a newbie when it comes to flashing sony phones, only found out now about flashtool. Any advice/tip on how to proceed, or if it even makes sense to dig into this, is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
are you perfectly sure your dock was connected properly and it hasn't discharged your phone? Maybe there was something wrong with it.
I had similar situation while I was low on battery and I was creating backup in recovery. Then I fell asleep and I have found my phone completely 'dead'. I connected it to the wall charger and nothing. No led, no nothing. I have even connected it to my pc and also nothing happened. Then I connected my Z2 to the wall charger and I left it like that. And after few hours, out of the blue, just turned itself on, just like my old Nokia n95.
I'm sorry it's not quite solution you looked for, but give it a try. Essential is to charge it via wall charger.
Good luck!
Do what @amon87 says OP. Charge it on a wall charger for a minimum of 3-4 hours; If that doesn't work, can you specify whether you were using a legitimate Sony dock or a third party dock? If it was third party, it could possibly have caused a hardware problem with your device via the magnetic charge pins (not extremely likely but not unheard of). Worst case scenario, send it back to Sony in the next few days. The warranty will cover it if you haven't caused water damage or anything like that.
Thanks for your replies! I also hoped for a sudden discharge, so I removed the device from the dock, plugged the USB in directly, and left it overnight - still nothing. Also, I have the original Sony dock, and have never exposed the device to any water.
Found out the model number in the meantime, it's D5303, if it's of any help. Flashtool does not see the device, unfortunately. I just found out that Sony describes an option to restore your device through the official PC companion app - I'll give that a try when I'm home, and will report back tomorrow.
Otherwise I guess my only option is the warranty.
There's also an option to quickly plug in and out charging wire to kick-start the battery. Unfortunatelly i have no further ideas to help you out.
Don't give your hopes up, try again. There's been a thread of a guy whose Z2 turned itself off and it seemed dead, but after a day or two it just turned on.
So, of course it's also not detected by Sony's "Bridge for Mac" app. Plugging it in and out brought also no results.
As the device is still covered by warranty, and I have yet not tampered with it, I've sent it in for repair! My pocket feels so empty now, i wonder how life is going to be without a phone. Apparently they need 5 - 10 working days.
Thanks for your kind support, guys!
Sorry to hear that. Hope it will get fixed!
Hey guys,
unfortunately my 3-year old Razr died the other day. Battery has been an issue for the past few months where I had the battery completely drained 2 times but always got the device back to work. This time it's different though.
I shut down the Phone at aprox. 20% Battery to safe it from low charge. I have NEVER flashed a custom rom, the phone is purely stock. The phone wouldn't turn on the next time i tried. Initially , I had zero reaction. Then, I got at least the white LED when charging with the original adapter. Let it charge a few days. The white light would turn off after a few hours but the phone is still dead.
I replaced the battery with another (new) EB20 but still nothing. I bought a wall charger (1A) and still nothing. I even tried direct charging the battery for a few hours and still no effect. Also, every combination of Power+Volume buttons didnt work.
So i bought a factory cable but still didnt get any reaction. When hooked up to a computer via USB i have a "connecting" and "disconnecting" sound. Once the device was detected as OMAP 3340 but couldnt install it. The problem is that I dont even get the phone into fastboot mode.
On my research, I found these posts:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055839
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2047750
I think this will be my last try and option, but i have no experience whatsoever with flashing and I find the description very hard to understand and follow. Is there maybe someone who can explain step by step what there is to install/do and in what order? This would be awesome.
Greets,
razore
Dug out my trusty Z3TC 16GB WiFi to browse the web and its dead and refuses to charge on 4+ different chargers. Won't respond to power+vol up or show any activity.
Software was fine when I last checked, running CM12.1 and no issues.
Anyone see a similar issue and know if the battery is likely to have failed or something more fundamental?
I'm ordering a pogo pin charger to see if that works, had a couple in the past but the connecting wires in the stand broke.

Happened to me. Try this: NEVER LET IT GO FULLY DEAD

Yup, saw that thread. Looks like I'm out of luck as I certainly can't resolder any of the components.
did u try with a quick charger?
Peace to all
I've tried most chargers and I have a lot of them, including original chargers for Z3 and Z4. Even trickling on a slow charger should recharge after 24 hours but nothing.
Wish I'd remembered to keep it charged, can't even get a bootloader up.
Try this??
Press the volume up button and power button together for 10 seconds. This should cause your device to vibrate 3 times and then show the battery charging screen.
Nope, I've tried all of these already. Probably need to open it.
weird dude.as far I know,li-on batteries need to fully discharged once in 30 charges.I made it once (it closed from battery) but nothing weird happened to me.I am always on KK 4.4.4
or u can try press the tiny reset button near to usb port.here says that nothing is being erased.

Good news! Thanks to everyone here who convinced me to persevere and not sell this tablet as broken!
For 4 days I have been charging the tablet and trying power+vol button combinations a couple of times each day and finally, on day 4, I was able to first get a red led. After the led went out about 10 mins later I tried vol+power again and got the emergency battery graphic plus red led. Led went out after ten mins again and had to use vol+power. Seemed to go a bit strange at that point and charging halted. Swapped chargers and waited.
Next time was the trick, got red led, it went out and I was able to get the normal, smaller charging graphic. Let it get a couple of % for safety and hit power, resulting in a full boot. Tablet is booted at 4% and charging OK.
Thanks to everyone that helped out.
glad to hear!so can u tell us the working process so just us to know just in case?....

Exactly as per above, keep repeating the power & vol- sequence and putting on charger for a few hours. Exact brand of charger doesn't seems to matter, the one it worked on was a no-name two-socket UK plug charger from Amazon. Obviously a 2A+ charger will help. The cable used was a generic Samsung 1m (3ft) lead.
Just repeat the process and leave it on the charger in between. I'd recommend not charging a unit like this unattended in case the battery is damaged and there's a battery failure, I've seen a lipo fire and they're ugly.
Thanks dude!enjoy the best tablet! ?
Peace to all
Dude glad you got it working. I love mine but i have it rooted. hoping that the latest stamina battery return update is rootable
