[Q] how to know if li-ion battery is dead?? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

hello, i have a Sony xperia u phone and today it wouldn't charge , when i plug the charger on , i don't get any indication that its charging other than the small led on the right top of the phone turning red, the status bar won't change, now the phone is out of battery and its still not charging , it wont show the battery animation when connected to the charger while off like it used to,
its been on the charger for 4 hours now and it wont turn on
the charger is working (tried with differant phone)
now is it possible that the battery died?
and i noticed that on the top of the battery next to the connecters there is a red square , i remember it was white could it be a sign that the battery is dead? can someone check on there battery what color is it? "couldn't find a picture of it online "
thanks for your help

if you have a multimeter you can see if battery has any charge (volts). look on the battery connector if it has + - signs.
should be around 3.7v, i think.
on my XGO i can't remove the battery, so there is the "hard reset" mode: press power and volume_up until the phone makes 3 vibrations
is there somethink like that on your phone?

OK this was solved by a mobile technician who told me that the mobile had some water in it and it power shutdown :S, although i don't remember it touching water , he solved the issue and it wasn't the battery

Razr Car Dock. App does not launch

Hi
I own the Razr Car Dock. It has been working fine for months, but suddenly today the car dock app does not launch when I plug in the device.
It charges well enough, so I presume the connections are ok.
I am on 2.35,no root, and last system update is months ago
Any suggestions?

Hello. I'm got this problem too, on stock ics, cm9, cm10, miui and stock ics again - car dock mode doesnt work, and audio by microusb cable too. How you pull off battery on razr?

i download "car mode control" app from ig88. When i start it, screen is blinking and nothing going on else! Help, please!
You do a 'battery pull maneuver' by pressing both volume controls and the on/off button for approx 10 seconds.

I have exactly the same problem
You probably DON'T want audio over microUSB, since it doesn't use the equalizer and you will have much lower volume.

On RAZRs of my friend and my girl audio works cool, and default equalizer not needed - we all use poweramp =)
Problem still here, one time my phone is dead even on charge, when i used navigation and music simultaneously. I think its hardware problem in charge controller, but i dont know how check it out.

[Urgent]the battery icon didn't show correctly.

Recently I bought a new backup battery for my ray.
I try to charge the new battery and after this I install my original battery again.
But after this, I go to *#*#SERVICE#*#* and see that the actual batt(uAh) just is very low.
Then I downloaded the "battery calibration" app to see if it can help me.
Now is the problem,after I "calibrate" my battery, my phone's battery goes very fast, and final 1% of my battery last about 3hours!
so I think that the reading of my phone is not correct, what can I really do?

Try to Fully recharge it to 100% and then go to CWM and remove battery stat and Reboot..
Hope that help

that WILL help... and this one too :
or if U don't have recovery : just recharge to 100% and then play games (to make ur battery percent become 1% ) so ur phone would go off and then recharge while the phone is off (to 100%):good::good::good::good:
All this chat about "battery calibration" and "wiping battery stats" is bull****, it won't help you. And to previous poster - that won't help on our devices.
OP: Did you buy genuine SE battery?

of course,
i am living in hk and i bought this phone from my carrier.
So the battery must be the genuine se battery.

Charging battery issues

1)Calibrate your battery via CWM recovery (wipe battery stats option) or with an app from playstore.
2)Wipe cache/dalvik cache and reboot.
3)Reflash your ROM.
4)If the above do not solve the issue try to full wipe and flash again.
5)Do not forget to look at your ROM's OP(original post) in order to check if other users have/had the same issue.
Hope I helped

just change your usb ceble.then everything is ok.sotmax rom is so good
I was using the stock Samsung charger that came with my GT-I9300, but I added a male<->female USB extender between the Samsung USB cable and the Samsung wall charger. After about a week I realised it was taking ALL night to charge (and by all night I mean it was just finishing up when I woke up the next day).
Removing that extender and just using the phone-supplied components makes the phone charger MUCH faster now. Moral of the story, check your charging equipment and try out other cables/adapters/etc.
Thanks , I just change the usb cable and know its charging normally

Xperia U Hard Bricked- No Response

Hello all,
I have an Xperia U. And I flashed the Vengeance Kernel for Xperia U (v1.22). But the v1.22 release was bad so my phone wouldn't boot.
I tried putting in the USB with vol button up but now no blue LED lights up. Even Flashmode with Green LED isn't working. When I connect
the USB to phone only the charging LED comes on. The PC also doesn't detect any response. Help, please!
I've tried other threads too, but no solution
Try pull out the battery. Get into fastboot and flash other working kernel.
via Tapatalk.
Not working. When I connect PC to phone with volume buttons pressed, the Charging LED comes on but not the Blue or Green LED
I'm trying to charge the phone for 3-4 hours now, maybe the battery drained out.........

Take out battery for few hours then put it in,don't do anything just connect phone with computer in flash mode and flash stock kernel.
Isn't taking out battery for 20 seconds the same thing as removing battery for hours? I think the phone is failing to charge in the bricked state and thus not fastbooting. Do you recommend a factory charge cable?

Device is not bricked with earlier 1.22 release. It just doesn't boot. Other users who didn't get the device to boot reverted to stock kernel successfully. Where you went wrong?
Does this has something to do wid offline charging??

Hi ,yesterday I faced the same problem when i flashed a kernal for xperia sola ,
I tried this procedure( with full charge ) , & i got my mobile back to normal state
try to hold both power button & vol+ button for 5 sec (upto 3 to 5 vibrations) ,
and leave the button .After that ur mobile should start normally
FYI
After reboot, touchscreen willn't responds after 30 to 50sec bcz of corrupt kernel ,so i did FACTORY DATA RESET before it go to non-responeded state.
Now , my mobile is back to normal .
Hopefully this process may solve ur problem.

Which version you tried flashing and on which Rom you were when you flashed the kernel???????
Sent from my Xperia Sola using xda app-developers app
My phone is back online. As doctor sanket said the kernel which wouldn't boot, didn't allow my already almost drained battery not to charge. After a day of thought, I powered up my Xperia through splicing a USB cable and gave it just enough charge for one fast boot. I flashed a working kernel and then offline charging worked.... Earlier the phone just didn't have any power to respond

Please try to find a way to remove your battery. Maybe your battery is dead and the spoilt kernel isn't allowing it to charge

Sir i have been using the kernel and the rom for the last 10 days or so, and this happened suddenly do you think that the problem is because of the kernel ?? i mean the kernel was in use for the past 10 days this could have happened before only if the kernel is spoiled, any suggestions ??

[Q] YIKES!!!Xperia Ray doesn;t boot up

I was just messaging people on fb ...and sudddenly my phone's screen went black then i thought it was just a temporary issue...as it was almst deaad
then i removed the battery and for an hour or so then ire-inserted the battery and tried to turn on by pressing the power button nothing happened
so i decide to re-flash the rom...i removed the battery and pressed the down volume button and reinserted the battery opened up the flash tool connected the phone via usb in flash mode thank god it got connected in flash mode and i flashed stock GB
now everything went fine after the flashing got over i tried to start the phone
i pressed the power button result:NOTHING
i then flashed a custom kernel and then pressed reboot the phone got connected in flash mode so i tried to flash the stock
to my suprise the device got force booteed :highfive:
now i tested the phone in each and every aspect known to me everything works fine....even the power button is ok!!1
but i switched off the phone to insert the memory card and tried to Power it UP Nothing happens what could be the problem??
i mean the Phone is ok as it gets connected in Flash mode as well as Fast-boot Mode

everything worked fine when it was ON!!!HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
You most likely have issue with your screen. When you power it up duz it vibrate?
If I be at your place I stud Flash stock and take it back where I got it from.most likely it's a HW issue

P.S: flashmode means press your volume down button while the phone is switched off and connect it to pc then the notification LED will glow green
