Hi,
I have an Xperia X10 and it was working fine until last night. I had put it on charge overnight but when I woke up in the morning, I could see RED LED blinking and the phone will not boot up (re-start).
I have tried many suggestions found on the blog (taking out the batter, putting the phone on charge and then putting back the battery). This has not helped and my phone is till dead.
Any clue/suggestions on how to get this issue resolved?
Thanks!
Would try different charger / charger cable or charging from pc sounds like flat battery more than anything else

Sounds like a flat battery.
Could be faulty battery/charger. Try different ones.
Sure, will try out your suggestions and use a new battery.
Does any one know what it means when the RED LED flashes for continuously three times when the phone is getting charged via the main (and not USB)?
The red flashing led pattern does not indicate more than something is not working accordingly so there's no way to tell from this exactly what has caused this.
I would try a different charger if possible and if this does not help, bring the phone to the store for a warranty repair. Hope it can be sorted easily and quick.

If you're from SE why are you on freakin XDA?
i found it was my charger that was the problem. i would leave it for ages and never recieve charge but if i shifted the cable or wiggled it a bit the charge would start
red flashing light means its on power but recieving enough charge to switch on i think. like when you try to turn your phone on when the batteery is completely flat
Or simply a dead, malfunctioning battery.
Had one of those battery, and it did that when charged..

Red light issue happened to me once.i fixed it by leaving the cable in(while charging) and removing the battery. I then put the battery back in and green light!

Could be a broken USB port. It's a fairly common problem.
I just had the same problem with my X10. I left it charging overnight and now the phone won't turn on. All I get are 3 red lights blinking when I try to turn it on. I already tried a different charger and still no luck. Once when I plugged it into my PC I got it somehow to turn on, the deviced booted up but when it got into the initial screen it turned off
Wasn't the phone supposed to turn on even without the battery? I mean, can't I plug the charger and try to turn on my phone or it will only work with a battery?
Last night when i slept all was ok with nearly 60 percent but in the morning my phone was dead. It is not booting by any key. The red light is also not blinking.I tried to turn on by pressing both the power and home key,but nothing working.I connected my phone for charging two to three hours but not a single blink... Neither flashtool nor seus are recognising my phone when i connected my phone to pc. I was on minicm 9 and naa ics kernel.Plz help me to sort this out.....

Try to take off the battery and retry charging
There may be a problem in your charger micro USB jack or the phone port, so try removing and inserting one or two times. This happened to me too many times.
Normally after a complete drain, sometimes the red light starts blinking after few seconds/minutes sometimes & then onwards there is a pattern of blinking red & then it starts showing the battery symbol when the LED starts from red.
The blinking red may be for ever, it may indicate a cable/micro USB pin/port problem. But as a coincidence I found it on miniCM10+nAa jb2 & I have never seen such on miniCM 7x. No known such problem due to kernel/ROM is yet proved!
If nothing works, charge the battery with an external charger available in the market and solve the problem & charge again!
:good:If it works press thanks!!!

I cant pull out the battery in my 2010 mini. I removed the white battery wire near camera and
tried to charge it but its very difficult.. After 10 mins of charging in my hand. There wasnt a single red blink.I touched the terminal on my tounge and the current sense was pretty good.. Do i need to replace the battery.
Hi,
Yesterday when I took the phone off the charger normally, it started to indicate that it is being recharged, and a couple of seconds after it announces that it will no longer be charged and this same cycle continues and continues playing the annoying sound / message. I tried to fix it by removing the battery, but it did not help at all. I also tried to connect the phone to Kies but when Kies recognize it, the program crashes ...
So could someone please help me with this?

Did you try to blow some air in the usb port? As it may contain some dust that is leading your phone to notify you as if it is being charged...

Hey,
I have been actually been having the same problem, it could:
1. bad charging brick
2. battery issue
3. kernel issue - i dont think its this one any more because i am still getting it on the stock leaked firmware.
4. usb charging board
i have tried flashing different roms / kernels and doesnt seem to be a cache / file issue since it happening before the phone boots. (charging screen)
if possible try another s2's battery in your phone... power off the phone and see if it auto starts or goes into charging screen. I have a spare battery and i dont seem to get the issue on that one. (still testing)
I also noticed i really only get the issue when i leave the phone charging for the night then wakeup. pull the charging cable and the phone doesn't register the disconnect and says its still charging. if i connect the usb to a laptop and connect and disconnect, it registers instantly.
i have looked for bent pins / dust.. depending on the better testing goes it may be the charging board that could be the issue.
good luck

I agree with you about the usb port problem. I also had a problem with the usb port, the battery icon was blinking all the time and the phone had a huge battery drain issue. All I could do is returning to stock, unrooting and bringing the phone to service center for repair.

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
Good morning all, :laugh:
I have this weird problem with my HTC touch pro 2...
A couple of years ago i bought 2 of these phones and i actually never used them until 2 weeks ago. (so brand new)
This, because i decided to flash them with android NAND ROM's which seemd to be working fine up until one point where i got this issue.
Some background info about the phone:
Both of them are HardSPL unlocked, have WinMo removed and instead have Anrdoid 2.3.7. installed. (which is working fine btw)
At first both of the phones seem to run fine and both of them where able to charge.
After a week of using the phones one of the phones stopped charging. (i tested some VOIP app from Aastra)
When the phone was powered on and the charger was plugged in, the Amber LED was lid but the battery was still draining... altho in the Android menu it stated "AC - adapter, Charging".
Because the charger i use is the original HTC charger which is brand new and so is the USB cable my first thought was.. well the battery could be defective since it has been in the box for some years..
At this point i changed the battery from one phone to the other to see if it would charge, but no luck still the same issue.
Then i replaced the AC adapter and USB cable with the ones from the other TP2, since that phone was charging fine...
Also no luck, the TP2 was still showing a Amber LED but did not charge at all.
After this i tried plugging in de USB cable in my PC to see if the PC would charge it, but as i expected, again no luck.
Then is switched off the phone and plugged in the AC adapter, the LED goes to Amber which indicates charging.
But now the weird thing, when i unplug the cable the LED remains amber !
And then the even MORE weird thing.... when i at this point remove the battery, wait 30 seconds and re-insert the battery the LED becomes amber right away !!
And when i trie to turn on the phone it does nothing, there is no respons at all to pressing the power button...
Just that amber LED....
Then i tried removing the SD-card and SIM, left the battery out for over an hour and tried to re insert the battery, but still the amber light goes on The AC-Adapter is not plugged in at this point !
At this point i was not sure anymore what to do, so i disassembled the phone to look if there was some bad / loose soldering on the USB plug.
But sadly enough i could not find any bad or loose soldering points, i also was not able to find any burnt or other bad looking circutes.
Then i reassembled the phone and made one last attempt to re-insert the battery, then the LED did not start to illuminate !
So for a verry short period of time i had good hopes that it was oke now... but then i plugged in the AC-adapter, the LED was amber again..
But the phone again will not turn on, and when i remove the battery and re-insert it it still shows the amber LED without the AC-adapter plugged in...
Right now i am at the point where i am not sure what to do anymore.
I was wondering if any of my fellow XDA visitors have experience with such an issue, or maybe even know a fix for this..
Some ideas to test or how to fix this are verry welcome ! :good:

I had a tp2 do something similar to this after it was hit with a power surge. Data would work, but no charging. Sadly the best suggestion at this point is to get a battery charger off ebay for like $5 and/or look for a replacement phone on Ebay/Craigslist. If the chip controlling the usb port is damaged it may work partially, and there is no way to repair it.

The chargers i got seem to be fine since i can charge my other TP2 with both of the chargers and cables.
I guess my only option is to leave it be.. cry... and move on with life...
Maybe, someone else has an other idea...

If you have a known good fully charged battery, and you can't make the phone work with it, then you sadly are probably out of luck.
That is a hardware failure, or a software failure requiring something along the lines of a jtag repair.
I was reading the text as though the phone would turn on with a charged battery, but wouldn't recharge the battery. I guess I misunderstood.
