Huge problem. My Xperia z ultra does not charge when connected to the charging port. The notification light just keeps turning on and off
Tried different charger like
Nexus 7
Samsung s3 charger
Innergie charger
Tried the hardware reset button same problem exist
Tried a Reset the phone from setting erased everything and then connected to charger same problem exists but now it says charging dock connected and keeps coming and going along with the notification light when there is no charging dock connected and was never connected.
Plz help
It may be a long shot and not a proper fix but you could use a magnetic charging dock. Cheapest I've seen them for is £9

(sarcasm)
I am xperia z2 user since july 2014.
Until tooday everything was fine.
Onw hour ago i started playing Angry birds epic, and phone got really warm.
After few minutes i noticed that i have low level of battery, so i puted it on magnetic charger, and...nothing. It didnt start to charge. So i connected USB plug and also no reaction.
Phone is working except that it is not charging , and even in a basic menu it gets warmer then usual.
Any ideas??
Soft reset it. Hold volume up + power until3 vibrations
Or let it cool down first

I tried this way and it does not work.
I have z2 with same problem but I solved it
I have z2 with same problem it started with me after I bought the magnetic cable charger since then and the usb cable keeps bilnking on and off and the battery drain instead of charge and I can onlycharge the mobile using the magnetic cable..... I read here that the cause of the problem could be connecting the magnetic cable upside down and I did it by mistake and then the usb problem started so to solve my problem i connected the magnetic cable upside down once again and then connected the usb cable and its working but if I used the magnetic cable again the problem come back to raise so I do the same by connecting the magnetic cable in a invert way.

Hi, i probably have the same issue. Have you connected both cables at the same time to solve it?
Recently I got a Z Ultra with a deal with my dad. It's been fine so far, but then I ran onto a bump.
Charging seems a little "Annoying". The phone persists I use a Magnetic cable for charging, and every time I charge, whenever I unpkug the device, It shows that its still charging. Even the led is on. (Note, i just unplugged the charging cable!)
A fix which I do is plugging the magnetic cabke inverted, without being plugged to any wall adapter. But even after that, as soon as I charge, It still persists.
Is this a hardware problem? Software?
Note: it DOES charge with a regular microUSB cable... But it doesnt even fill up the battery.
Basically, my problem is, the wall charging and USB connect are reversed. i.e., I connect my wall charger, its showing as USB mode and when I connect the cable to a PC, its showing as AC Charging. I tested with Ampere app and when I connect to AC Charger, it is drawing only around 300mA(like it would do if connected to USB) and its drawing around 1.5A(like it would do when connected to wall charger) when connected to USB PC.
I have been having this issue for quite sometime and recently, I had upgraded to Marshmallow through OTA upgrade. I thought atleast this upgrade would fix this issue but I am still facing the same issue. I even contacted the customer care and nothing useful advice other than restoring to factory settings was suggested(which I tried and didn't work).
I guess it should be some software issue but don't know what it is or how to fix it. Any inputs would be welcome.
I've got this http://uae.souq.com/ae-en/z3-titanium-magnetic-charging-cable-with-smart-led-color-change-indicator-for-sony-xperia-black-7770328/i/#Reviews cable a few days ago. And It was charging fine as it should. But today I did something stupid/funny. I've connected the cable opposite side, display was off when I connected it. But after that when I was trying to turn on my device display, I realized it's not turning on. When I connected it to stock charger/wall charger. It was blinking yellow and after a minute it was blinking red. And got damn my device doesn't want to turn on :laugh: Tried to hard reset, still nope. Then I've removed all cards(sim/sd) and connected the device to my pc and boom! it turned on. Thanks to God! :silly: After that I tried to reconnect the magnet cable in right direction XD. And now the device indicator is blinking yellow(Charging on/off) And also when I connect the magnet charger do the device without connecting it to any usb slot, It lights blue. The thing is the cable is not charging my device like it should after connecting it in opposite direction for a few second.
Now my question is : The cable is dead or my device magnet port got screwed?

If you inversely connect it to your phone, the cable instantly become a magnetic port killer and so your magnetic port is killed in this incident.

Should have brought the WSKEN Mag Charger
I once tried connecting the opposite way the charger would just turn off because of some safety feature. Did that three or four times.
Cable and phone works fine also the cable is well-built.
You can get it for the same price from AliExpress and it delivers to UAE as well.

Your device magnet charger still working? I think mine went dead or have to buy another to test if the magnet port is dead or not!(The led on the magnet charger,lights up blue when I connect it to device wihout any power source:laugh However I don't live in UAE I just imported it from dubai. Howerver after this incident, I'm not going to use another magnet charger
And also my device is not full charging now, Stuck at 95% and flashing green led (goes on/off)

I did the same thing a long time ago with the same cable you have but when i did it nothing happened. I have the same cable that you have for almost a year now everything is working fine except when its charging the indicator light on cable is blinking randomly red or blue but it's charging fine.I tried other magnetic charging cables with light indicators they are working fine without blinking.

You are lucky then. And now I'm having charging issue. Device display goes on while charging with usb charger and doesn't turn off automatically! :crying:
Btw does your magnetic cable lights up if you connect it to device without any power source?

Yes both the magnet charger and the device is working fine.
Can show you a video if you want on what happens if you connect the opposite way.

I know now :laugh:
Don't know if, I've to replace magnetic flex cable to fix (battery not charging after 96-97% and device goes on/off when battery is charged with green indicator on/off as well)
I also did a fully discharge on my device today and charged it when device was off. And it charged to 100% now time to see if it can charge back to 100% when the device is on. (But device still goes on/off with green indicator on/off. When device is charged)
I read somewhere in this community that downgrade to kk solve problem.

Update :
Looks like battery or device mb screwed!! Battery won't charge after 96-97-98% and display goes on/off on/off when it reach 96-97-98% and after that green indicator + charging indicator goes on/off as well.
Not going to touch magnetic charging cable anymore XD
