If the phone is plugged into a charger it turns on. If it's off and you plug it in, it turns on. If it's already plugged in and you turn it off then it just reboots. How do you make it turn off and stay off?
It should just go to charging mode after it shows the sony logo
Does it now?
I'm going to assume you are on cm or another variant, if so, there's nothing you can do I'm afraid

No it's stock ROM.
Mine doesn't. Stock .314 rooted. I get the vibration, then the green led which turns to red. I also get the charging symbol on screen, then the screen goes off. After disconnecting the charger, the fone still stays off.

My phone suddenly stopped. It was working.
One night i was charging my phone and using it side by side, suddenly it turned off with lines on the screen.
I want to local mobile repairer, he re-flashed it and started working again but only for 2-3 hours.
After that it does not turn on. I connected for 24 hours, charging but no lights.
It can a battery problem .. ?
Update:
Now phone vibrates when turned on, but no lights. Only black screen.

Hello, try flash Kernel+Baseband. You probably lost that Kernel, if blackscreen all way long.
Whitefang
From all the phones I've used this usually happens when the battery is completely busted.
See if you can get your hands on another battery and try?
Good luck!!!
This happened twice for me.
Try leaving your phone in wall charger (not in PCs USB) for at least two hours and try again,
Hope that it will help.
Flash the Kernel and the Baseband

to mention that I put the rom (X10a_2.1 update1_r2.1.A.0.435_Generic.ftf) and solved the problem with the phone rebooting and shutdown
Ok so for some reason now my SGP 5.0 USA will not turn on right. Whenever I press the power button it shows the loading circle then the battery icon. Now I know what your thinking its dead. But it is not! The battery is always charged. Right now it is at 85 percent and doing this. Only way to get it on is to plug it into the outlet and hold on until finally(after many of the battery reboots as mentioned above) it boots up.
Also it will not stay on. As soon as I unplug the charger the device turns right off. It only seems to start up properly when it is above 95 percent battery. If it is anything under I am forced to have it in the charger. I am on PAC-Rom with Sultan Kernel R5b2. I do not have fast charge enabled.
This is really weird, anyone know whats going on? Is the battery just shot?
Yeah, it happens to me on CM 10.1. I don't think there's anything you can do about it, and if you're worried about it not turning on, why not just charge it whilst it's on? It also seems that both ROMs don't have a charging animation. I'm not even sure if I understood your question, lol.

It does not matter if its on. I plug the charger in and taking it out will turn the device off. If I try to turn it on it wont turn on it just shows the battery icon then turns off no samsung logo nothing. Im just trying to wonder why its happening. It has never been a problem before been using cm 10.1 since they first released it for the SGP 5.0 and this has not started happening until a week or so ago.

Do you try to turn it on when it's plugged in? It's probably the ROM that's causing the problem.
Yes have to hold power button for a good 30 seconds it will do the whole battery icon several times on third one it finally goes to system completely bypassing Samsung logo which is weird.

Did you try draining the battery completely (boot to download mode and let it sit)? That has fixed it for other people.
Can clearing the battery stats by recovery work?

I have just tried this with no luck. This really sucks Its hard to install nightlies and turn it off during the night like I like when I can't even turn it back on or have it reboot into recovery. Think I should try flashing stock then cm9 then cm 10.1 in order see if that helps cause like I said been on cm 10 since it first came out never had a problem until a week ago.

Hi, sorry if the question is already answered, but my English is basic and write it through google translator.
My problem is that my Xperia P (LT22i) ran out of battery and shut down, and now will not start. I connect it to the charger, the red LED lights a few minutes and then turns off. But still does not start. I left it all day and nothing.
If anyone knows how to get it back, especially to rescue the photographs he had.
I tried as I have suggested, hold power button with Volume up key till you get 3 vibration. then start your phone normally by pressing power button but does not work.
Thank you.

We were looking at pictures of the holiday and battery ran out. 0%.
Then I put it to charge and the red LED lit only a few minutes and then turned off. Nothing more.

Maybe try the rubber-band trick?

So I've been using my phone as per normal, and it suddenly switches itself off and wont turn on.
If I plug it in to charge (the batter was at 40%) I just get a blinking RED LED.
Any help / ideas guys?!
Try to press volume up and power in the same time. If it vibrates 3 times it should start normally...

Hi Fenix
Have tried that with and without a charging lead connected and no joy. The red LED just continues to blink.
Have also tried, again with and without charge, to press the red button next the sim card slot and no luck.
How about volume down and power?

Same result.
Planning to leave the phone OFF charge all night and see if that helps, and then maybe do the opposite and keep it ON charge for a few hours maybe.
Any other advice?
Have you tried a system reset
(you can use sony PC companion to do this)
(repair device)
I have this same problem.
I have reset and re installed the rom via pc companion and same problem.
Basically the phone will not charge via the magnetic connector at all.
if you switch off the phone it will not stay off, it keeps turning its self back on again and boot looping: displaying the sony logo, then off, then sony logo again.
If you hold the power button down for 20 seconds whilst on a Sony logo, the phone boots to the experia logo and boots normally.
Problem is the phone will NOT switch off and half the time it wont come back on. Its basically a lottery on whether the phone will come back at all.
Update - managed to get the phone switched on after leaving it on charge all night. Had to hold the power button down for 30 secs to get to my home screen as otherwise it was just looping to the Sony logo.
However, now, the phone is not charging - it detects that a charger is connected but the battery level is not going up and the LED is constant orange.
What to do?
I would flash a.2.69 firmware if you don't have it already.

I'm a newb with these things - is there link for how to flash?
Not sure if it makes a difference but this phone is from Vodafone and I believe they've locked the bootloader or something similar?
Also noticed that the phone 'thinks' its still charging even without a charger connected - and the orange LED is constant.
Looks like the battery is kabooshed?
I think u should give the phone in for warranty.

Adding to the above.
Received my Z2 on O2 onFriday 2nd, Tried charging it this morning and red charging light was on then started flashing.
That was trying to charge via a usb cable to the magnetic contact.
Re tried using standard usb cable.
Will not start regardless of what I do, on button, on + volume up, on + volume down.
Trip to O2 after work tonight to take it back.
May be a problem with the magnetic charging system, somehow shorting something out, for me anyway.
Same here, Need to return it to T-Mobile.
Same issue,
Went Off, never to be able to turn the phone on again.
When connected to the Charger, the red light blinks faster.
When connected to USB red blinking led, blinks slower.
Does not go 'On' anymore.
Recovery from pc compannion does not work.
The Update tool send by the sony technical suppport also did not recognise the device.
Windows does not recognise it.
Volume Up + power does not work
Volume Down + Power does not work
Volume Up of Down (phone turned off) connecting with USB does not work.
Red button next to the sim card does not reset the phone.
It is a Brick now, hope sony is good and replaces it with a NEW one.
I need help .. i was normally use my sony z2 d6503 and it turn off itself and i cant open it even if i put it charge only red led no logo no charging logo .. all black ..
So I have a verizon s4 (rooted) and it is bricked. If I take the battery out and put it back in the screen shows "Samsung" and then goes black and nothing else happens. I cant get it to start in bootloader or recovery mode either.
I am not sure if or how this is relevant, but I have been having issues with the power button, meaning that it wouldnt work when pressed except sometimes if I held it down long enough the "shut down/reboot" option showed up. In short I am not so convinced that it is working properly or maybe even at all.
Any help would be appreciated

Stupid suggestion, but try plugging the phone in to charge. I had some odd things happen to my phone where it would try to boot and continue to shut down. I knew I had charge on the battery, but when i plugged in the phone to the wall adapter, it acted like the battery did not have any power left. Once charged enough to boot, the phone would work fine.
