Sudden death - Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone !
my xperia tablet Z is dead, suddenly dead, i was working with it last night and everything is fine, and today i tried to turn it on and nothing happened, i thought maybe the battery is dead and i need to charge it, i plugged in the cable, usually when the battery is dead and i plug the cable the red led turn on but this time nothing happened, i let the tablet charge for the whole day and nothing happened again, the tablet is dead, completely dead, the pc dont recognize it, i can't enter the recovery mod, i can't do nothing at all, there is no sign of life, the tablet is suddenly dead!!!
is this normal ??
i havent even rooted it or flashed it, i let the tablet with her stock rom, and she's suddenly dead ? i found this very bizarre

Guys i found the solution, i just opened the back of the tablet and unplugged the battery connector and re-plugged it again, and the tablet came back to life

Your tablet just hanged with screen off.
It was easier to hold VOL+POWER for 5-7 sec to make battery reset (it is actually the same that you did, but less intrusive).

TMobile PDA Phone keeps restarting and wont charge

It was unlocked and working perfect until the battery went completely dead and wasnt charged back up for a week. After pluging in the charger I was unable to do a complete charge as the pda keeps starting up. It runs for about a minute or two then restarts and boots back up, the cycle continues with no end. I got to work for about 10 ten minutes, the phone worked, the charger was active in the battery option menu, but then it started all over again. I've reflashed and changed roms. The amber charge light does appear. Also hard reset doesnt work. Please help, bought the phone used but only got to enjoy it for a day.!
It maybe the battery is banjaxed, I have seen similar behaviour with an ipaq and a defunct battery.
if not its board memory
if im right yourin big trouble u have to replace the whole main boards .. i hope im wrong it juist bthe battery.
good luck bro

[Q] Phone won't even boot up anymore? (E10i)

Device: E10i
Firmware: MiniCM9(ICS I think)before, Then changed it into MiniCM10, before finally reverting into MiniCM7
Hi, I just got my E10i yesterday after it was confiscated by my mom. So I think it was left uncharged for around 2-3 months. so, of course, the first thing I did was to plug it up into a wall charger, and. went to school and I left it like that for around 5 hours? After I got home, I noticed it only started charging few minutes ago because the battery was still at red (like 1-10%)
After a few hours, I decided to finally turn it on. It was only like 5% charged. I reverted my phone into MiniCM7 from MiniCM10.. Well afterwards, I decided to jam in a few apps there in my phone since it was freshly wiped. Then I left my phone charging for a few minutes because I needed to get something. When I got back. The screen was fully black. No even LED lights if its charging or what. Then I thought the battery was just drained. (Opps, I forgot to mention, I forgot to wipe battery stats after installing new rom, but I think a fresh wipe did that already)/
Then, I went to sleep with the device still plugged into the AC adaptor. Then I woke up around 3AM (I went to sleep around 11PM) and to find it's still black. I tried doing a hard reset, turning it on. No response. Like a paperweight. Then, I wiggled the cable and tried changing sockets hoping that it's the problem. Then went back to sleep. I finally woke up today, at around 7AM. No luck. Still like that. Tried plugging it into the PC. etc. SEUS can't even detect it! Please I don't want to take it to the Service Center since it's a hundreds of miles away from here. Thanks a bunch!
EDIT: Tried, removing the battery and plugging it again. No luck,
Bump.. Something came across my mind. Do you think it's the rom? because From JellyBean, I downgraded to MiniCM7., Installed the nAa-kernel14 and installed the MiniCM7. I never saw if it was charging by the time I left it. Maybe that's why the battery was drained. Now, I have no luck, I tried different cables and tried charging without the battery, still no indication of life (No red light blinking, etc.) I tried leaving it charging overnight, still nothing.
Any suggestions (without taking it to the Service Center)? Thanks a bunch everybody

I think your battery was drained completely when your mom confiscated it, and it's truly dead by now
Hm, It wasn't I was able to charge ti (Although it tooooook a loong time like 5 hours to get that red light blinking) and was able to switch from ICS to JellyBean to Gingerbread before it was dead. I was able to send a few SMS. Hmm, after that the battery went dead? Is there a way to check if the battery is still alive?

Yeh, it doesn't hold much charge, and it doesn't hold it for long. Replacement batteries can be quite cheap on sites like e-bay or something, but they're tricky to replace. If charging it for that long doesn't get any decent results, i don't hold much hope for you.
Hmm, is it possible to turn on the device if I remove the battery and plug the charger in? I tried that and it doesn't work. Maybe It's a hardware problem or similar. Also, one of the volume buttons just fell off. Im frustrated! > <, Its my only phone, and I'm a student, I can't buy a new one.

My Galaxy wont charge via PC or Charger

My battery started to drain fast few days ago, i thought it was a software issue(some apps). Yesterday i put it on the charger, as i didnt put it, nothing happend, i thought my charger broke, i put it on PC, same, wont charge, now im thinking the connector broke, u put USB OTG memory stick and it reads it normally, so the port is working, tryed factory reset and reflashing offical stock rom, problem isnt solved, also when the phone is in download mode on charger or pc, and i take out the battery the phone stays on, it takes power directly from the charger(this is normal), witch i think confirms its a battery problem, not a phone. Now, anyone faced this problem also? Have expirience whit this, any advice what should i do (im gona try with new battery but its a weekend, no stores working). Any help, any chance its really a battery problem, not a phone?
EDIT: Also when the battery is in, phone off, put it on charger, the empty battery shows, the grey curcle arrow rolls (battery stats are read), then it shows the battery level for a second, and the circles bellow it instead of zooming in and out in movement, it stays at the first for a seccond and then the display turns off, nothing, no red light also.

Many Galaxy S3 have problems with the charging port and need repair maybe for 20 to 30 bucks.

I hope you are right, i had that problem before, and replaced it, after then im extremely careful and gentle, so i think there are very low chances that thats the problem, i will take it to service later today, its still under warranty
Its probably a faulty battery
I had a faulty cable and man it was horrible
I was on vacations so no shops around, the phone would constantly show charger connected/disconnected and would take ages to charge

I will wait hours for charging.
Anyway, do you know other solution? It's very strange it's bricked! I didn't flash anything new and cm11 was working well!

Sorry brimbi i can't help you any further than this, i'm not experienced in this field and only started a couple of days ago, this guide explains about soft & hard resets as well as brick symptoms, i hope it helps... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170
If you're using cm11 you should be able to boot into recover right?
This happened to me today. Last night I left my phone charging on my PC through the USB port. PC was off, but USB is still powered. Phone was on.
The next morning, after I woke up I noticed that when I pressed the power button nothing happened. I plugged the cable off my PC, then back on, and the led was staying lit up red. Nothing when I pressed the power button again. No fastboot, nothing.
Finally, I plugged the phone using the original Sony adapter to the mains. It showed the Sony logo and it started charging. At least, so I thought. After a couple of hours, I checked the charging progress and nothing, battery was showing empty. So I tried to power the phone on while still charging. It booted Android and it was showing charging, but 0%. I powered the phone back off, it immediately started charging and battery progress was about 80%.
My guess is that somehow battery stats files were corrupted/deleted. Luckily the phone did not get bricked. I am on Android 4.0 ICS.

It seems XSola has issue with this. My previous phone which is Xsola did suffer from this issue multiple times though. On my ex-XU (too) never had this problem and in my current XP i've had once.

[Q] HELP-Razr wont boot - OMAPflash?

Hey guys,
unfortunately my 3-year old Razr died the other day. Battery has been an issue for the past few months where I had the battery completely drained 2 times but always got the device back to work. This time it's different though.
I shut down the Phone at aprox. 20% Battery to safe it from low charge. I have NEVER flashed a custom rom, the phone is purely stock. The phone wouldn't turn on the next time i tried. Initially , I had zero reaction. Then, I got at least the white LED when charging with the original adapter. Let it charge a few days. The white light would turn off after a few hours but the phone is still dead.
I replaced the battery with another (new) EB20 but still nothing. I bought a wall charger (1A) and still nothing. I even tried direct charging the battery for a few hours and still no effect. Also, every combination of Power+Volume buttons didnt work.
So i bought a factory cable but still didnt get any reaction. When hooked up to a computer via USB i have a "connecting" and "disconnecting" sound. Once the device was detected as OMAP 3340 but couldnt install it. The problem is that I dont even get the phone into fastboot mode.
On my research, I found these posts:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055839
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2047750
I think this will be my last try and option, but i have no experience whatsoever with flashing and I find the description very hard to understand and follow. Is there maybe someone who can explain step by step what there is to install/do and in what order? This would be awesome.
Greets,
razore
