[Q]charging troubles - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

guys .. i know there are mroe threads about issues of charging but this one i have never read about...
i see phone battery its normal.. i start charging with usb cable it shoes battery animations as if its charging but its really not (there is no red light above) and I tried turning the device off and it turns on by itself gets stuck on bootloop and I must force shut down (power and volume up) and turn on again to get it running and it only charges in magnetic charger and also using it no red light but at least it charges , yet when i disconnect same problem occues ! (I have animations on battery as if its still charging) and battery drain is slightly faster and charging is slightly slower.. what seems to be the problem ?

How many mAh does your charger have?

Luckily not from an iPhone = Yesterdays technology at tomorrows prices

Are you charging it in a computer? Maybe the use port isn't putting out enough power.

Clear battery stats and see if that helps but Lord Morpheus is probably right

You can use a free battery calibrator app from the market or do it from the advanced options in Streakmod recovery

Does the phone have to be rooted?

you should do it by Streakmod recovery/ Clockwork mod recovery
How do i install streak mod without usb connecting to the phone becuase "battery charger disabled"
There was a detailed thread on just this and I think the general consensus was that it's not possible.
My Streak currently is unable to charge . Tried the default charger and portable charger but to no avail . The funny thing is the charger is giving its output to my Streak but its not inputting the current .
I've tried my cable on my computer but its unable to read my Streak + used the cable to connect to my portable charger and connecting it to Streak but also not accepting current . I've cleared battery stats already . I'm currently at 1% thus there's really nothing much i could do .
Charger problem too ?
Not if the computer didn't recognize the Streak. In your case, it's the cable.
I cant get mine into fastboot modee! its so annoying!!

Nope. Changed the cable to a brand new one but still unable to charge or read through the computer.
Then the only other option is the port on the Streak is damaged. Especially since it's not taking a charge from either power source.
Had this problem last night in bed. Device was charging fine through albeit damaged original Dell charging cable. I had wanted to leave it charging but it wouldn't charge through that cable or the new cable (a cheap Chinese one) I had got previously. This morning, connected it to the laptop and the laptop recognised something was connected, the device lit up but with the picture of a charger and yellow exclamation mark. Went into fastboot and through *#301# had said;
Battery voltage= 3210mV (this value is decreasing)
Ave Current -306mA
Charge state 0%0%
Temperature 28.25C
No charger detected
HC Mode
DCIN OV: Yes USBIN OV: Yes
Battery charger Disabled
Battery too Hot did trip IRQ
Battert too cold did trip IRQ
Voltage test Fail
Temperature test Pass
I can boot into Fastboot, obviously, recovery and it does boot up, albeit slowly but the ROM has reset itself and says charger is invalid.
worst case scenario, get external battery charger.
and your battery is pretty much discharged way beyond the minimum limit...

I managed to charge my battery externally through a power pack and some leads. As a result the battery charges but I cannot vouch for it's ability to hold charge. It's holding pretty steady on airplane mode so perhaps it's okay. And it now says voltage pass in fastboot mode.
I've ordered an external charger and a new battery.
Quite a few of the pins are bent badly, which is a pretty bad design flaw as the pins are exposed, I had been using a cheap cable over the original Dell cable but that was poor quality and the sheath had pulled away exposing the inner wires. But the fact that it had been charging the battery leads me to think that charging wasn't affected but wasn't able to tell the device that it was charging and hence it thought it was at zero. But the fact it's recognised the charge and discharge has left me rather perplexed.

Magnetic charger, tried plugging in, battery drained, now flashes red when charging.

Hi, I've just got a new magnetic charger and after trying to plug my phone in the battery drained from 40% to what i can imagine is now 0%. When trying to charge the phone the notification light was flashing red, but now after leaving it plugged into my laptop for 10 to 20 minutes it is a solid red light. If i plug it back into a wall socket it starts flashing again.
When first trying to plug the magnetic charger in, I may of had it upside down, but as there were no instructions saying that there was a wrong way round, I can't imagine how it was this that might of caused it.
Any ideas on what i should do?
EDIT - After 10 minutes of it being plugged into the wall it is now a solid red light also.
leave it plugged into a wall
this can take upto +45 mins to have enough power to even respond
It finally rebooted itself, but now the battery life is awful, barely lasts a day, in comparison to the 2 days it used to get, is it possible that it's damaged the battery?

Probably, repetitive engaugement and disengagement of the battery can cause faster wear
I'll just send it back to Amazon and get a refund, I think it's done a bit more damage than I can tell

Is anyone got any ideas what wrong with my phone and what should i do..pls help me

It probably happens when u attach the magnetic cable wrong way i.e. negative to positive and positive to negative.

but as there were no instructions saying that there was a wrong way round..
You shouldn't be able to plug the magnetic charger in the wrong way as there are different spacings across the connectors.. unless you forced it? You don't have to push them in, they just snap into place when hover the connector over the port, no pushing needed at all.
As for the damage maybe draining your phone to 1-2% and charge to full, repeat a again, might return the battery to original state. That or you've damaged one of the capacitors used for the battery, or the battery itself is now damaged. Best of luck.

Thank for the information..when I'm buying that magnetic charger I didn't ask any instruction on how to use it..after what was happen, the seller just do a poker face and refuse to take any responsible on what happen to my phone..is my mistake also..now I think I will take the phone to repair it ..let the "expert" do the job..:silly:

[Q] Issue with Sony Z2 (red light notification blinking 3 times)

Hello,
Can somebody assist me with a problem I have with a friend's Sony Z2. I'm not very familiar with this phone and I have an issue with one.
It had the screen replaced because it was broken and before putting the last screw I turned it on to see if it works. I needed to put on charge because the battery was 1%. It worked perfectlyand then I disconnected it from charge, removed the battery flex cable to mount the phone back and when I finished it, I tried to turn on, but unsuccesfully.
All it does now is, every time I push the power button, the notification light is blinking red 3 times. Nothing more. If I keep Power and volume up is doing nothing, unless I put it on charge (on charge and power+volume up is vibrate 3 times too). I have nothing on screen. Reset button (the one inside SIM slot) makes the phone vibrate 3 times. The pc detects the phone 1-3 seconds and then nothing, I don't see it in my device management. I tried with another battery and same issues.
Any idea how to fix it ?
Thank you.
let it charge for 10 -20 mins
if not check battery flex
i feel its battery low or not connected proper

Thanks for the answer mate.
It was 2 nights on charge and still nothing. Also the notification light remains red while charging ? It shouldn't turn green when the charge is complete
Did you check flex?

The flex comes with the battery. Since I tried a new battery, I guess isn't the flex cable.
Sadly that's all I can say

Battery not charging ,only red led blinks. Plz any suggestions

I have non rooted mi pad, bought 3months back
The problem is with charging of mipad. I plugged in charger when battery was at 6%. But despite being connected to charger, and showing charging sign, the battery continued to discharge and was at 0% . as I plugged out the charger it switched off.
The problem started now. I put it for charging and went away. But after 3hrs, the battery is not at all charged and not even switching on. This is same with different chargers which are functioning fine on other devices.
The red blinking led on top is the only reaction when I put it for charging ,otherwise nothing. It's been 4days,I looked for answers but couldn't find. Can anyone tell what's the reason.
Did u use the device while charging before the problem.
Did you try using a different charging port? Also use the original charger provided. Maybe the best option is to take it to the service center

XPERIA Z2 D6502 Charging problem

Hello,
Im having problem with charging My xperia z2
Recently I tried using magnetic charger for first time but it wasn't charging at all and phone started getting more heat so I removed it and got back to USB normal charging but now its not working as usual... when I connect usb charger phone showing charging symbol and red light on but its not charging at all, turned off phone and tried charging while phone off still same ..getting red light on and charging bar in the middle of screen and phone stuck on same percentage and goes down slowly even it keeps screen on charging bar after I unplug the charger !?!
I tried hard reset using power button and vol+ afew times some of the tries worked and phone charged normally but after i plug the usb charger again problem gets back ... so i keep resetting phone many times till i get lucky and charge normally
Also tried factory reset and flashing new stock ... still same
I don't know but i have feel that magnetic port causing problems for battery even i didn't use magnetic charger again
and i read somewhere it might be possible to disable magnetic port?
any idea?
help would be appreciated
any help?
When you connected the magnetic charger first time, have you connected it in the correct way? If it is connected upside down, it ll cause serious issues..
LikeTh3DON said, you probably connected your magnetic charger in the wrong side. I've done the same with my D6503, and I have the same issue. I already looked to change the battery, nothing change, it's a chip on the motherboard I think.
Look on that thread, some users have the same issue, no solution so far:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2745786&page=3
If you can, use sony's usb cable and charger, or a usb port on your laptop, don't know if it's related, but my phone charge easier with those. If it's the same issue than mine, your phone will charge to 85-90% and the screen will constantly goes on. When it happen unplug your phone or it will heat a lot without charging.
Same thing accidently done with me.now phone dsnt charging with megnatic cable(charging on and off regularly) nd with USB its have same problem when battery % reaches above 90.
Please give me solution..
Is that repair is available for this issue?

Hey,
I haven't necessarily got a solution for your problem but thought I can offer you my opinion. I've used solely the magnetic charger for nearly a year as my USB port has clean snapped off from my logic board. The whole time I've not had an issue, the only time the device heats is during intensive games or/whilst charging.
I know that people have had issues with the magnetic charging port in the past, it's a relatively easy fix, however, will involve opening the device and stripping out a lot of the parts to get to the ribbon.... up to you what you want to do.
Guess I should ask the obvious, have you tried different cabled/ chargers etc?? the fault could potentially lie with the cables if they've been damaged/frayed.
