Charge for three hours and check battery stats in the settings .
Or use phone until the battery runs out will give a clue .

Do you use Siyah kernel? This is a known bug on the latest version, the battery charge normally but the charging animation is broken.

Yeah I am using that kernel, no fix for it at the moment then?

I believe the new version, 1.5.1, fixes this. But notice that this is only a display issue: the battery is charging normally, just the animation that doesn't work.

Sounds like whatever theme you put on to pull the battery percentage isn't pulling it right, hence the !
It even did it on a stock based ROM lol

That is your phone telling you that the battery is messed up. You need a new battery.

I hear this is semi-antiquated advice (I say semi because I'm not entirely sure that it doesn't help)
but have you tried to charge your battery all the way up and calibrate it?
Also...it seems that you have a voice mail. You should certainly check that, don't want to keep anyone hanging lol

No, so I will. BTW that voicemail is just a whole bunch of people talking in the background, must be an accident.

Here is a link to the app I use (although there are others ofc):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5uZW1hLmJhdHRlcnljYWxpYnJhdGlvbiJd
Charge to 100% and while still plugged, open the app grant root and calibrate. Then you want to use your phone until its at around 5% battery and charge it all the way back up to 100% before using it and then you should be good. If not, then we can look into other alternatives ^^

Phones is displaying @@@@ ???

Very good question, what network are you suppose to be on ?? Have you tried a reboot of the device ?
are you on Orange / EE?

This may be the case until the official JB Release comes out. But I would proably try the suggestions in the thread that has been mentioned.
Thanks mate. Will do!

I have looked into it for you some more and in the actual Rom file for the Carrier Label there is no entry for EE so when an official release is released I guess they will patch it

Xperia S - charge indicator led

Is there some mod which can turn off the charge indication at night, or at least limit it's brightness? I like to sleep in total darkness, so I really don't like that my XS is lightning up the whole bedroom at night when its charging. Anyone knows a solution for this problem that doesn't involve putting sticker on the indicator?
You mena on red led?If that so just turn your phone on the other side so led faces surface where your phone is.No trouble anymore....

Xperia devices are known for led features. If it bugs you....You Can turn it upside down.

Yeah... great answers guys, especially for someone who bought a cradle for the phone.
I wouldn't ask this question on this forum if I didn't want the solution to be software related. So once again, is there a mod or an app that can turn off the charge indication at night, or at least limit it's brightness?
have you tried LightFlow?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...htflowlite&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W10.
It may work if you are rooted and run it in direct mode.
I've not tried it as I just turn my phone over lol.

Any way to wipe a dead S3?

My S3 yesterday died on me. It was on charge over night and in the morning when I woke up it was turned off and just refused to turn back on again.
I'm taking it back to the shop today but before I do I was wondering if there was any way of wiping the data off it before handing it over? I just don't fancy the thought of some random guy having access to all my files and photos. Not that there is anything bad on there :laugh:
If you can't get in recovery or downloadmode there is now way to wipe you're phone.

This happened to me once and it turned out to be the battery and not the phone. If you have a friend who happens to have an S3 as well, may want to try and swap the battery out with them and see if that makes a difference. If not, then service center and warranty are your only option.

Already tried that in the shop but it didn't work. I'm going back today to hand it in as their systems were down yesterday so couldn't book my phone in
I think you don´t need to be concerned about that, it happens to me with S2 and that was the board that burned and possibly even samsung will be able to read the data. And normaly they don´t care about that they just simply will replace your board and everything will be fine again.

Tear your phone down and hit the part with yellow borders on the image with a solid object. Your memory is now wiped.
