hi everybody,
I need help...My xperia mini st15i has a big problem, that now I'm gonna explain you:
If i turn on phone normally (not charging) it starts normally, but if i enable 2G/3G network, and I try to surf the net, my xperia turns off and reboots continuosly...If i plug usb cable and charge battery i can use network for 15-20 minutes until phone turns off...to make it work, i need to remove battery and wait 5 minutes. Also battery charge is very very slow...to get a complete charge it takes 5-6 hours!
Note: USB cable does not get completely into the mini USB port of the phone, and cable moves.
What could that be? A battery problem? My mini is in stock rom, stock kernel and unlocked bootloader.
PS: sorry for my very bad english.
Thanks to who will answer and try to help me.
Well, This problem can be caused by many reasons.
- For reboot problem, Try to flash clean stock again and see if the problem is still there.
- About slow charging, maybe battery life is over. Buy a new battery.
- For the USB port problem send it to the repair center to change this hardware part.
Good-Luck fixing your problems

Hi all,
I just want to share the solution I used to solve a big shared problem I had with my X10 Mini. During a call my battery went so down I couldn't even turn it on without any sign of hope. As we know in this cases the phone CAN'T charge itself cause it need a software "help" and without a minimal charge the phone is dead. In my case scenario even with Seus holding back the button couldn't solve it.
I decided to solve it without taking it to the 60km away SE support center and:
- taken apart a usb data phone cable
- divided the red wire and the black one
- considered that the USB port gives 5v at 0.5ma
- taken apart the phone case and the rubber cap on the top of the phone
- take out the battery wires connector from the logic board
- inserted red + wire into red hole of the battery connectore and same with the black ones
- connect it to the usb port of a spare computer (you could sacrifice it if something goes wrong)
- wait for a hour to have a good charge starting point
- disconnect everything, reconnect connector, close case and connect to the normal micro usb cable
- evrything will charge as usual.
NOTE: If someone try at his personal risk, BE CAREFUL cause if something cause wrong you could ruin battery, or logic board or pc motherboard!!!

Bye

Good job, but did u try to charge for a few hours without SIM card? Because I already drained completly and solved problem just removing SIM, putting to charge and waiting. After 2 or 3 hours the system start to charge normally.
WTF? This phone has this problem? Did 2.1 fix it? My wife has the habbit of letting her mobiles die.
I hope that she will not need to take out the SIM card every week to charge her phone.
Thanks for the share by the way.
Yeah this phone got this problem and it's quiet usual I see in different forums. But not always it drains so much like me. I did the BIG error to try a couple of times to turn it on. I tried any combinations of tricks with or withous sims differents ones, different buttons, different charger, etc.... No way! I think that SE support centers has got some kind of charger that has got the female connector of the battery to solve this problem.
Ah I now realised you have a mini and not a mini pro, as mini pro's can have their batteries removed.
I hope I will not have to solve this problem , any time soon.
Good to know anyway.
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.
I am currently using Mini Cm 7.2.1.9 version nAa kernel -11 i.e. 2.6.29.6 now the problem is that my phone is not charging since 2 days before that my phone is working but many times charging problem occured but solved naturally ( i did nothing ). When i plug the charger red light blinks for sometime after that no light and phone is not charging even it is not starting on many times i plug in charger and unplug it but no result .
When after keeping 5 hrs of non-stop charging phone booted but after 50% charged again same problem occurs i.e not charging. Many times when i plug in the charger and keep charging my phone starts dropping out the battery level means i was having 10% battery available(before charging) then when i put on charging after 1 hr it is showing 0% and phone switches off then phone doesn't charge for hrs but after 4-5 hrs again i put in charging then phone charged up. Today after 50% charged i want to reboot it to recovery but after that my phone doesn't rebooting nothing happens now what to do .......?
Now i want to solve this i read many posts on this forum regarding battery issues but no answer to my problem i want to roll back to S.E 2.1 version i.e Eclair which came with this phone or switch to Mini CM 9( 4.0.4 ICS version) my heart says don't roll back go ahead means install CM9 version but don't how to do this saw many videos on youtube but m not able to do so specially i dont want to brick my Mini .
Please friends and specially nAa i know this is your hard work which resulted in using ICS on this MIni guide me .....
Thanks.................
First, i think your post should be in "XPERIA X10 Mini Q&A".
Have you tried with annother usb cable? I had a similar problem, and i solved it buying another usb cable.
your phone probably have hardware problem and you can not do anything, take it to a service.
Battery charging stops when the phone overheats... when it cools phone charging starts again... problem in power ic or charging ic
I have the same issue. During is erratic at times. Chances are that it's your charger

thanks guys for helping and supporting me Now all is well because i reinstalled Mini CM 7.2.1.9 rom but trying to switch to ICS 4.0.4 version thanks for your kind help support and genuine advices.........:fingers-crossed:
guys, i have a question,
1. i cant get wifi hotspot to work, but usb shaing works fine
2. charging takes way to long since yesterday, in 1 night from 14% to 43% ,but it charge the battery to100% but slow
i have an rooted sgs3 with siyath kernel
as for wifi, well regular wifi always gave a problem staying connected on both sgs3's i had so i actualy didnt even investigate to slove that , i even disabled psm in 0011 but no changes it acted the same , i just about wifi to on side note, the main problem is charging , dunno if its the battery or the phone ,bcuz chargers do not get hot for charging unlike when i 1st had this phone so i think either the phone dont accept the power or the battery dont want to charge , i also tryed modding charging settings in the kernel via STweaks but same results
need some advice or help with this
Slow charging questions posted many times. Usual fixes are: replace charger and lead, go back to fully stock, replace battery, phone internal charging circuit is faulty.
Hi guys, I have very big problem with my xperia. Few weeks ago i installed cyanogen mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/-t2626639) evrything was working fine, but suddenly when i connected my charger to phone, it do not recognized it is charging. After some time of charging battery level goes up, but phone is hot as hell. After charging to 100% phone is rebooting and staying on sony logo, its turning on only after disconecting a charger. Battery life is like 15 minutes. I have tried to reflash cyanogen, didnt help. Then i wanted to reflash stock rom but after connecting phone to computer nothing happends, computer dont see phone. I have tried a lot of chargers and cables, nothing is working fine. I was thinking tahat maybe usb port is somehow destroyed, but phone is "charging".If you can please help. Cheers.
@krzywy1121
Change you battery.

I think it is not battery becouse i can not even connect my phone to computer. I think it is some kind of soft problem, but i don know how can i flash stock rom over cyanogen without using flashtool.

Im having the same problem here. HAve you managed to solve this?
Thanks
I've changed the battery, and it didn't make nothing. Phone can't recognize the cable plugged in, if i plug charger in, it charges, but don't indicate it. I can't connect my xperia to pc and flash stock rom. Any ideas how to solve my situation ?
