Phone suddenly shut down - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a big problem with my phone. Sometimes it simply shutdowns just after booting. And sometimes it shutdowns if I use it in a normal way (like listening to music or browsing on Facebook) And the battery is not at 0%. It happens at each percentage. This afternoon it even happened at 85%.
The only I thing I noticed that this is not happening if the phone is connected with the power supply.
Have someone of you the same problem? Can someone help me?
Greetings

Hey there!

Thanks. I already changed my ROM. From CM7 I went back to Wolfbreak. But there is the same problem.
Perhaps it is a battery problem? Should I buy a new battery?

Hi,man i have that problem too,
So,i see that if i plug my charger with no battery and pull the back button then the green light appear like in flash mode.so if you pull the battery when you have this led on,your battery indicates wrong values,in another way if your battery have 5% and you pull it with this strange flashmode then it indicate 88%.
Another symptom is that you not have the long vibration when you pull
out the battery and re pull on
Another one is if you remove sim and sdcard and boot the phone then you have the right battery values and no suck on your batttery for exemple,
in this mode my battery stay at 98% 4 hour O_O
The major problem is that your phone is in flash mode all the time and eat buttery and give wrong values and give WLOD at boot,normaly one before lock and one after.
I don't know what do that but give massive battery drain,massive network usage,and
Constant reboot.
I suspect virus or something like that.
Don't lose your time to try to reflash firmware or different rom cause that not solve the problem,
I reflash 1.6 2.1 2.3 and many custom rom with no success
Tell me if you have the green led when no battery and charger pluged and pull back key repetitively for appear this led
to ensure that you have the same problem.
If I find a way a post here for sure but I think that my phone is dead :-(

I know this is a bit old but I'm necro'ing it just in case it helps someone.
I had the same issue with my stock Optimus One, I installed AOKP and it worked like a charm.
Now i've had my Xperia Neo V for a while now with a custom version of AOKP and had no problem until recently, haven't installed anything new just a couple of updates, filled a new sdcard with music and it shut down out of the blue.

if you have shutdown problemes, it can be motherboard issue, ROM or kernel. Try reinstall android OS, and if you still got shutdowns try different kernel or ROM. I tested many combination and I didnt get any shutdown with Zmod ROM + Doomkernel ( I dont want to promote this rom or kernel, just writing my personal experience) . After changing kernel and ROM you could have batery drain, or it can looks like that. Wipe battery stats and recalibrate the battery. System need some time to create good new battery stats. 2 charging cycles and is good in most cases. Battery drain depends on that how you using phone so charging every day ( once per day) is normal.

It sounds like the 'Old Battery' issue! LiPol/LiIon batteries only have a life span of about 2 years. X10 is older than that now!

New battery fixed the problem for me. Pack of 2 and a charger on ebay for $10.

Having a serious problem with mini 2.22.30

Having some issues with the current ron on my phone.. some time ago I loaded miui.us 2.22.17 to my phone followed by siyah 2.3 and all was great in the world.
updated both rom and kernel and now my phone is a nightmare!
In on 2.22.30 miui.us with siyah 2.13 and my phone freezes constantly and gets really really hot.after a battery pull and reboot - the battery looses 900mah and all my Google services force close.. have made no changes beyond updating the ron and the kernel..
Additionally, Im wondering if something is wrong with the ron as battery consumption while on standby with Wi-Fi is on triples even when display is dimmed and background data as well as auto sync are turned off and the phone is in airplane mode. I thought battery calibration would solve this but hasn't changed a thing.. even while the phone is plugged in to charge the battery's draining (not charging) as long as Wi-Fi is on! Tested with 3 different chargers..
can anyone tell me what I can do to get these problems solved? Is flashing back to a Sammy based rom the only thing I can do?

[Q] Xperia turning off... and off... and off

Hi, I got a very annoying problem.
Since a few weeks ago, flashed a ROM and when I've tried to use the phone, it keeps turning off randomly, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after hours. So, I tried to take it back to the clean original 2.3.3 ROM, but it keeps happening. ¿Any idea? ¿Any solution? Please, help me.
Oh, something else, it only happens when the phone's used with the battery, when it's attached to my laptop and used as modem, the problem doesn't appear.
I had the same problem, it said android system shutting down. I just bought new battery and it works.

I think, it's the most logical option, but I was trying to get some feedback first. Thanks.
Maybe calibrating the battery.

go back to stock and see if it helps! try to troubleshoot the problem! Also, don't install any apps!
There are instructions on how to calibrate your battery in the first post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1489214&highlight=calibrate+battery
If the problem is the battery, you might find that after calibration that the battery drains faster than expected, and still shuts down, only this time it warns you that it's gonna shut down. This would then be the true battery drain. If that is the case, you might just need to buy a new one anaway.
Otherwise, I don't know what else could be causing those symptoms. (Other than an electrical fault, from accumulated damp or something)

thanks so much..............
What happens it's that the phone shuts down suddenly, the message appears for a seconds and it's off. Wait for a few seconds, try to turning on again and sometimes works for some minutes, and sometimes it's keeping turning off, and off, and off. But, the battery level seems to be correct, I mean, when I turn on the phone after one of these sudden shutdowns, only drains the logical ammount of battery for starting use the phone.
I think... if the problem never appears when it's attached to the laptop and charging constantly, and magically appears when I used the phone with the battery, it's probably just a battery issue, right?
I have a similar problem to this, my phone randomly shuts down after showing the 'Android System shutting down' message but sometimes loses ALOT of battery. Last night it went from 78% to 8% after shutting down :/ I noticed it happened more often when im playing games or taking a video, things that take up more battery. When i keep it plugged in it keeps awake so the problem stops but i cant keep it in all day every day. I dont really want to buy a new battery until i really really have to, but I have had the phone and battery since the x10 first came out about 2 years ago, so anyone any other ideas? Thanks

Yeah tried that but it didnt seem to work :/
could it be hardware problem like broke battery or bad connection on motherboard?
Could be pal are u within your warranty (sony (Ericsson) it has a 2 year global warranty but u need to ring ur network provider and ask them to put u through to se
Sent from my X10S using XDA
Yeah this happened to me before about 6 months ago, so i went to my provider (3) and they sent it away to Sony Ericsson and they sent me a whole new phone but I didnt want to do that again really, but i may have to. When im not using WiFi or 3G then it works fine, and when its plugged in to the charger it works so i guess its a case of not usuing the internet when im not near a charger
I have the same problem.
My X10 reboot random when using 3G (Wifi is still OK) and Gaming. Now i'm on Stock 2.3 and stock kernel and....wait. (Flash some ROM and change the new battery....but not solved )
Anyone help us !!! Plizzzzzzzzzzz
Maybe your solution
I had the same problem sometimes with original kernel after 1 year of using my phone.
Then i tried to install a new rom, and i was thinking the problem was solved. But it was not...
I finished by trying the X10S (v7) rom with DoomLord kernel (1113mhz) and this problem was solved...
I tried some kernels and this one was stable with a good battery life and no shutdown problem. With some other kernels i had this problem back.
So I think that kernel could be the problem.
Infortunately, with the rom X10S v8, Doomlord kernel cause issues with wifi (unable to get ip adress). So now i use kCernel-SE-stock-mod-v1 and no shutdown problem anymore.
*Maybe the solution is*
Try to change your kernel with one of thoose :
- kCernel here (in "2. kCernel-SE-stock-mod-v1")
- DoomLord (search fo x10_gb_DooMKernel-v06-1113_wifi.zip)
Note :
- With this two kernels, you'll have to download appropriate wifi patch and install it from SDcard via xRecovery
- don't try to install X10S v8 if your bootloader is locked
So, try to flash your X10 using flashtool with Doomlord kernel
Tell us if it worked, i hope it solved your problem as it do it for me.
voltage
Hi,
I have had this issue too, for the last few months. No matter what ROM/Kernel, batt stats cleared, etc, still the same. Can idle all day, but as soon as I use 3G, GPS, or use any intensive app, she shuts down.
As an experiment I installed a battery monitor that plots graphs of % charge, temp, voltage, etc over time.
I had a close look at my logged graphs and have noticed that just before each reboot, the voltage seems to dip drastically. Battery charge is fine, does not seem to matter. but a sharp drop in voltage occurs. Increased draw for the more complex tasks (3G, GPS, etc) seems to be tripping it up.
As the Battery is now 2 years old, I figured it is just starting to fail? And iv noticed lots of people are suddenly coming out and complaining about this issue.
I just ordered a few new Batteries from 'Ebay', will see how we go!...
peace.
[INFO / SOLUTION] Suddenly shuts off with red LED.
Good to know:
The X10i/a have now reached an age, where battery failures is very common nowadays. Specially if one got the device early on or just after the launch.
Symptoms of a failing battery:
* Device suddenly shuts off, even when the battery have several percent remaining.
* Device drains fast, even when not used.
* Device might just shut off for no whatsoever reason when doing something that draws a lot of power, and will restart just fine.
* Device has a surprisingly fast charge time from empty to full.
When the device shuts off all of a sudden, it's followed by the indicator LED blinking red, rapidly three times, and might repeat this at restart attempts.
Sometimes it takes several tries before the device starts up again. Battery just needed a few minutes/an hour of "rest".
There's nothing wrong with the device.
Just get a fresh replacement battery and it'll work just fine again.
But beware:
There are many fake batteries out on the market, claiming that they have higher capacity, yet very slim in size.
There's a simple rule when it comes to battery capacity:
More capacity = larger in size, which might need a special back-cover. There's no escape from that.
If one would happen to find a such incredible slim battery with super capacity, the battery security circuits and/or chemical makeup probably have been circumvented/changed, and have a high risk of catching fire and/or explode when charging/discharging.
Yeah thanks for all the advice and sharing your problems. My phone does reboot alot when im using 3G or taking a video. Recently my battery would reboot, drop alot of percentage and then increase percentage without charging...magic I dont really want to buy a new battery because my new contract starts in june i think, but maybe il have to. Good luck for everyone else dolving there problems
Also, [email protected], i am on doom kernel and i still get reboots :/

[Q] [HELP] Battery Drain, probably hardware issue

Hi guys, this is not an usual battery drain problem. I am more or less an advanced user of android but I´m writing here because I tried all my ideas and none of then worked.
I have 2 Neo V, stock. One day one of them started to have battery drain. Im talking about 6-7%/hour with no usage, the other one is around 1-2%. So with any use my phone don´t last more than 14h.
I started to check the usual(wifi policy, services running..), and don´t found anything, I switched the batteries between both to see if that was the problem but drain was still in the same phone.
I rooted the phone, tried BetterBatteryStats and CPUspy and all is OK, most of the time DeepSleeep etc.
After all I unlocked the bootloader with the S1tool testpoint etc and flashed some Cyanogen 9 rom + kernel, and the problem still persists.
I think there is nothing I can do and my phone is useless because I suppose I don't have warranty anymore.
Any ideas about what could be? Even if its hardware, what kind of hardware problem can make this high battery drain if the CPU is not working ?
Thx in advance
edit: In HTC we can also flash different RIL´s (radio interface layer) to improve signal db, avoid high battery consumes etc. There is something similar in NEO V? Because I didn´t find anything.
There are a couple things you can do:
1) Did you check that you had mobile signal all the time??, because losing mobile signal is THE biggest battery drain possible
2) Post some BetterBatteryStats screenshots so we can see what's happening under the hood
3) Try a different ROM/Kernel combination, that sometimes helps
And no, there's no RIL flashing here, just different ROMs/Kernel/Baseband combinations
I HAD the same problem
Even I faced a similar problem on my Neo V after getting FXP CM9. FXP 122 was fine. But FXP 123 and 124 drained the battery very badly(No considerable Deep Sleep in CM 9). So I switched to AOSP Polish blood. Battery life was excellent but it lacked customization, so I switched to AOKP v38+ AOSP kernel. Superb ROM but again not so good on battery (but better than CM 9). Yesterday I flashed the FXP 125 kernel. More than 5-6 hrs of WiFi, 15-20 calls and texting and some instagram and I still have 20%. I'm charging my phone now!!
I´ve uploaded some screens of bbs, cpuspy and batterydrain with wifi on and after switching it off.
Hope it reveals something, what really annoy me is the deep sleep activated most of the time, so I don´t really know what to search.
Just as I thought, what's happening to you is what happened to me a year ago and I thought changing phones would help.
Your problem is basically, bad signal, as you can see in screens 4,5 and 7,8 "No Data Connection" and "No or Unknown Signal" are preventing your phone from going into Deep Sleep, the problem comes from bad 3G signal (or just bad network signal if you don't have 3G) and that is known to basically eat up all your battery.
How is the network signal where you are???, because it looks like it's realllllyyyyy bad.

Are you sure? Take a better look.
Or at least deep sleep graph. And those graphs "No Data Connection" and "No or Unknown Signal", are also ok(ven though the name is confusing a bit), I have the same.
I'm not COMPLETELY sure but this is exactly what happened to me a year ago with a Samsung Galaxy Mini, also if you look at graphs 4 and 7 Deep Sleep doesn't have as much time as the data and signal bars, to me that seems like those two are keeping the phone in wakelock state more than it is spending on Deep Sleep.
I´ve been experiencing this problem for weeks. About signal I tried everything because:
- Phone worked perfect with SIM and all bars (I live in the downtown of a big city)
- When the problem started to happen I switched to another phone and this one was working without SIMcard so there was no signal at all.
- Some days ago I used another SIM which also have all bars.
I Don´t think there is a problem of the signal . Also in my other phone, and as you can see, Deep sleep is working fine.
I reread your first post and the only hardware problem that I could think of is a faulty battery, did you use to leave it charging all night??, because that tends to burn the battery and it does hold a lot less charge.
According to what I've read, everything seems to be fine software side, my only idea would be that you reflashed stock ROM and check if the problem persists, reflash but don't restore any data, the problem could be a misbehaving app.
I have 2 Neo V (my father´s and mine) I switched batteries, and the problem persist in the same telephone. Also both of them have less than 2 months, so batteries are new.
Also revised the voltage in the CPU and it is alright.
Well, the only thing left to check (IMHO) is a misbehaving app or service, maybe check for task killers or battery savers in the "broken" phone, those are known to eat up the battery like it's ice cream!!
I believe I have the same problem. I can't remeber when it started since I tried lots of roms,
but I flashed latest ICS from pccompanion with no other tweaks for some days and it
continued the same.
I also thought about bad signal, but at night in flight mode it also spent 40% of the battery.
With a good kernel, undervolting, 2G... I can get to 15% 20% at night.
I've also switched batteries with other neo's and no difference.
Phone is 5 months old.
Not sure if it might come from the rooting process. If I understand right, the 0% issue
that some were having was more of hardware issue (or I'm completely wrong?) Then maybe
there is also something related?

0% was a software related error (flashing GB 2.3.3 after having 2.3.4 broke the battery gauge firmware), however that problem doesn't exist on ICS, I find it reallt strange that both your phones have that problem, I've had my Neo for 8 months and the most battery I've lost overnight has been 10% (with CM9 and really bad signal).
Maybe the best thing you guys can do is send your phone to service.
I have a similar problem with my mt15:
when I buy my phone battery was ok. about two days with intensive social use, no gaming.
5 months later, battery drain begins: deep sleep and 8% per hour , airplane mode 8% per hour
tried almost every popular rom in development forum ICS stock, codename, tweaked, cm7.2, cm9, jjhybrid, KA, ...
tried every popular kernel: stock gb, stock ics, alliance, suave, super, nightelf, cm kernels...
battery drain happens while phone ON, happens with airplane mode, AND happens with PHONE TURNED OFF.
I thinked about battery fault. replaced my battery with a new genuine one. Same results.
If I remove the battery from phone, IT does not drain. 24h later battery is still 100%
So my neo has a hardware problem I think. And there are many people with same problem. look for "neo battery drain while off"
Neo is a buggy phone. you can be lucky, or not. but many people has these issues or 0%batt.
I give up!
After sony abandoned x10 mini pro (random reboots, eclair), I had given another chance to sony with neo. I like sony designs, but Im really tired.
sorry about my creepy english
Try freezing "Calendar" with Titanium Backup and see if battery lasts longer. It helped for me.

about battery drain when phone is off
its not consuming your battery while its off
when you are turning the phone on
cpu usage will be on 100% to run all necessary sevices and apps and most use goes to get signal
that's normal
i suppose its aroumd 3-5% of battery consume
im not gonna be at the same side with you
actually neo is a wonderful phone
i beated the score of sensation xe in antutu benchmark with it
just google it around the internet
there will be some fix mate..
Neo is not buggy at all maybe yours but not mine
this might work for you
i just found it
1-flash build 42 official rom on your device
2-root the rom (there are plenty of ways around internet)
3-flash this kernel via flashtool forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=780407&d=1321113977
4-now turn on the phone its gonna show 85% of battery
5-install this forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=897721&d=1329003275
6-plug the charger into your phone
7-from the menu of app select start full charge
its gonna take 3-3:30 to be full
may be you've seen it around web
i translated it from a persian forum
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU
In my opinion, a phone broken by a software update/downgrade is buggy.
About battery draining while off, not all neo have this issue, but mine is not the only one.
On the other hand, about power consumption while booting, if i remove battery while off, wait some hours, and replace, after boot battery is 100%
Sent from my JJ's Hybrid MT15i
I had this problem too, even when the mobile was off, the battery was drained...
I sent my phone to after sales service and now it's normal drain 2 - 3% per hour when idle. (I was on stock rom and kernel, never changed).
There is maybe a bad hardware series

[Q] Battery question - just randomly shuts off!

Hi all,
I don't really use my X10 now as I have upgraded to the Xperia S, but I have started running again and I thought it would me a good device to track my progress using the Endmondo app and GPS rather than take my new phone along with me.
I used to do a lot of installing custom ROMs, kernels etc, but now I no longer use the phone I have flashed back to stock kernel and stock 2.3.3 ROM from Sony. Problem is, I give it a full charge, and then the phone will randomly shut down on say, 45% battery remaining (the worst I've seen it happen is on 82%!) The power also drains very quickly so it's not very reliable for what I want to use it for.
I've tried everything, re-calibrating, wiping battery stats etc but nothing does the trick. Is the battery just screwed? This never used to happen on the custom ROMs.
Its the battery itself I had the same problem as high as 85%-86% bit the bullet and bought a new battery and a few full charges and discharges and battery calibration later its back to how it was when new

[HELP] Battery problem after deleting the battery stats. [Screenshots]

Hello,
After reading other threads, I've decided that I should post my case to see if I get a better answer.
A couple of days ago after being with SuperNexus 2.0 for a few months I decided to try the stock LSS ROM, I didn't like it and went back to SuperNexus again wiping the Battery Stats in the process to see if my battery life could improve (I know it's a myth, but I tried it anyway). After this my 1.2 years old battery has been crazy:
- Sometimes it will completely discharge it doesn't matter at what percentage the battery is.
- Sometimes the phone will shut down like if the battery is at 0% and it won't turn on again, but if I connect it to the charger it will show some charge (close to the one it has before the phone shut down) and the phone will turn on again. After this I can immediately remove the charger and the phone will work like normal.
What I don't like is that just before the phone randomly shuts down, the screen starts blinking and/or the phone hangs (it doesn't respond to the touch). I'm worry this could be damaging the phone itself.
Please refer to the screenshots (there is not photoshop involved, I swear).
I've tried to charge it to 100% (trying to get it as close to 4.2V as possible), I have pump charged it (disconnect/connect the charger until it doesn't drop to less than 100% immediately), reflash the ROM (wiping/format system, data, dalvik, cache, etc. the usual suspects), etc. but no luck.
I know it looks like a faulty battery, but it has never shown this behavior until I sadly deleted the Battery Stats. Will a new battery solve the problem or it will just be the same?
Any thoughts? Any help/recommendation will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Cheers.
P.S.: I have to say that before all this I was running Dori 9.14, but I ran the Kernel and the ROM wipe scripts (I know the ROM wipe runs the Kernel script too) between flashes.

P.S.: I have to say that before all this I was running Dori 9.14, but I ran the Kernel and the ROM wipe scripts (I know the ROM wipe runs the Kernel script too) between flashes.

Wiping Battery Stats is never a problem, people even do that to reset Battery estimates, try a reflash and a more stable kernel. As far as I know Dori 9.14 is not playing nice with some people.

Yes it sounds weird that deleting a file will screw your battery, but the coincidence here is huge, that's what I don't understand. With respect to Dori 9.14 (I only used it for a couple of weeks), yes i was running it before I did all this, I'm now running the stock Kernel that comes with SuperNexus (which never gave this kind of problems before).
I also removed the battery to see if it was maybe a faulty connection, but it stays in place very tightly.
Cheers.

Yes your coincidence is just too much, hmm.. Weird.. I don't know what to say? Battery Recalibration? Beat a myth with a myth I say.
