[Q] Battery Dead, not charging. - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

So basically yesterday I forgot my charger at work, and my phone fully discharged... you know, that fully part where if you try to turn on you get the 3 blink red led notification.... So today morning I finally got to put it on charger, but a weird kind of stuff happened.... I plugged it in, it was a red LED blinking (I assume charging, but can't turn on due too low voltage) this went on for a minute, then it turned itself on (I got the Legacy Xperia 4.4 ROM). I could see the battery charging animation for a minute, then it turned itself off again, like it ran out of battery again. then the same thing happened from the beginning over and over again.. I even tried to put it in the CWM so it doesn't boot the charging animation thing, it still turned off after like 30 seconds...
Now I'm stuck with a dead battery phone, and I have no idea what to do.
I would appreciate any kind of help, because I can't really work without my phone now.

EDIT: So now I instantly turned off the screen so it doesn't show the animation and doesn't drain the battery, it seems to charge now, will keep editing if something happens..
EDIT2: Phone LED is now orange... which means above 15%... I think it'll be fine now....

Charge the battery with a battery charger( it costs like $1 in my country ) and then flash a rom for which you are sure that it has offline charging.. and that too working

[Q] One flashing red light

Why does this do this?
I left it on charge over night last night, to my surprise - it hadn't charged...
I have read all over about this, but this is different...
I connected it again, and one blinking red light came up, not the triple you usually get if it's dead...
this is the only response, and is continuous.
it finally turned on, I checked the status after turning everything off and setting it to airplane mode. it was at 1%...
2 hours later it was still at 1%, and then after 10 minutes i checked and noticed it said 0%.. then died.
It's now still plugged in and is flashing one red light again.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Hi.
Have you taken the battery out?, if not do so for 10 seconds or more and pop it back in see what that does.
Happened to me once, no matter what I did it didn't charge do i took the phone to the service center, they messed with something on the upper side of the phone.. plugged it into the wall and booooooom ... started charging again..
When I asked him what he did, he told me " it just needs a little magic ! "

Have you tried a different battery?
I don't know if we can fix this problem but as other posts above have said that mobile shops could be able to fix it.
You could be able to send it to SE but if your phone has been rooted or debranded you void the warranty.
i had the same problem last night, the battery died and then when i plugged it in it came on to charge, and then off again. after that point just blinking red light.
i removed the battery for some time, plugged it back in, and left it on charge for a bit and it came on.
i think the problem is, that when it starts charging, it wants to turn the screen on, which takes more power than the charger can give. so it goes into a loop. and dies.
but leaving it on charge helps (it worked for me)

HD2 charging issue

So I thought I'd calibrate my battery today... I completely drained it, powered it up like 10 times so it had no battery left. Then I took out the battery for one minute, inserted right back and plugged the phone to the wall charger. It has been charging for about 5 hours(I think more) and still the led hasn't turned green
When I touch the back of the phone it's warm so that means it's charging still... Is this normal when calibrating the battery or should I try starting it to check the battery condition and forget about calibrating? Thanks in advance.
edit: ok, I unplugged the charger cuz I have to go out... and the red led was still going... no wonder :/ So remove/reisnert battery, boot up android from nand. Battery 99% already I guess this calibration has pretty much failed right?
So no one knows anything about this? I tried to calibrate again last night... The red led again got stuck. What could be the cause of this? I reflashed radio recently so I don't think that's it.
Does anyone has any advice? I will try charging with power on, see if it will fully charge and if green led will turn on. And then again with power off without letting the battery be drained completely and see what happens. I hope nothing's wrong cuz I'd hate to have to return it
I also would like to know this.

Tried this aswell n the phone was on 99%. the voltage was also wrong when its 100% (4197, i beleive its ment to be around 42xx or 43xx). Tried deleting batterystat.bin from system but not sure i followed the right procedure after that (take bat out, charge, deplete, charge). a dedicated thread for this would be nice.
Did you try leaving the phone off and leaving it on charge until the LED changed to green. u may have to leave it over night. 15+ hours. Not sure if this works.
I tried it. The thing is the led wont turn green. When the phone is off and charging the led wont ever turn green and when I pull the cable out the red led doesn't turn off. It get stuck until I remove hte battery.
However when the phone is on and charging the led WILL turn green. I'm getting crazy over this. Can sb plz heeeeeelp?

You wont be able to do a calibration in NAND Android, which i'm guessing you are using, because i have the same problem.
The only way to properly charge the battery and get the green light is to wake up the device, plug the charger while the screen is on and leave it charging.
I got 50 hours +10% out of moderate use with one full charge - phone on, and i am happy. Same as WinMo ROM.
I haven't seen a solution for this one yet, but i hope someone is working on it.
oh, thanks so much for clearing this up. Yes I have nand android too. I'm not complaining about battery life, it's very good. I just did the battery calibration out of curiosity and bumped into this issue. Glad it's not hardware or battery related and I hope someone fixes it eventually.

[Q] Not charging and led flashing red.

Hey...
My Mozart seems to have stopped working. The battery run out this morning when I was in university and ive just got home and plugged it in to find that the red led is flashing up the top! Its flashes for a while and HTC comes onto the screen, it then shows an image of a battery on the screen then nothing, no lights, no charging, no booting.
Help!
i see well that happened to me, you seem to have drained the battery. the best solution is..
keep it charged for a while..
if it does not work.. remove the battery for a while then bring it back and charge again,
just let it charge until the battery regains enough power to boot the phone.
never let the battery fully down /!\
the smartphone Have to be charged before the battery nearly 30% otherwise u Will deteriorate the lifetime of u'r battery
Hi, I would like to know if the problem was the battery or hardware related? I am having this same problem and Im about to go to the phone shop to get this looked at... after being on the phone to someone who speaks the worst broken english for 20 minutes!
Thanks.

HELP! Prime won't start up.

So I took the prime of its box, plugged it into the wall and tried turning it on. When I did, the Android battery indicator screen showed up. The battery was in the red, about a quarter the way up. I've since called Asus about the issue, and they told me to charge it for about an hour. I've done that, and still it doesn't work. It still boots into the same screen. It won't even go into recovery if I hold volume- and power for 10 seconds, just back to the battery screen. I feel like maybe I'M doing something wrong here. Any ideas, guys?

it's gotta charge. mine did that too and i was freaking out. apparently not all tablets are charged. It took about 10 minutes to finally get it to boot up.
If you charge it and it still doesnt...then it might be time to ..worry
I'm only worried because it's been charging for an hour and still just goes to the battery screen, shutting off immediately after. I'll let it charge for a few hours and if it still doesn't work I'll just have to call Asus.
Whoa sorry to hear this.When i plugged mine in it started booting up & went to the home screen.It had 21% battery left on it.So i shut it down & letting it charge the full 8 hours that's recommended before even using the device.I hope yours works.
Make sure the charging light is on
where's the charging light?
its built into the power on button. a tiny little orange led
It's not coming on. When I plug the tablet in, it recognizes that it's plugged in and vibrates, tries to turn onamd fails.
Make sure it is plugged in all the way in the tablet.. and then wait a bit. you must use the wall charger.
It has been plugged all the way into the tablet with the wall charger :-/
Dang! Sorry to hear this. if it doesn't come on within the hour id say just exchange it. it might bea faculty unit. it should have enough juice to boot up by now considering if you charging it properly. Good luck. wish it was working for you because this is a great device.
I am having the same problem too when I first plugged it in the battery indicator screen came on real fast and turned off the orange charging light came on and turned off.I tried plugging into the computer it does nothing diffrent.I think it might bricked.
okay. i just got my primetoday, same deal. it doesn't start, tried to reset, etc. i finally charged it for a while, after a while, it finally boots. at that point it was at the 15% battery life mark.
seems a bit odd.... i would wait and see.. if its game stop they would of had games installed on it.
I just got mine today...woot!!! But the issue that u have happened to me also what it happened was a faulty charger

I tested the charger on my phone and it worked. I plugged into the tablet and pressed the power button the led came on and blinked and turned off quickly.I think the battery needs a good charge.
I had to charge mine until the battery indicator was green before it would turn on. Said in the manual to fully charge before using for the first time... so maybe it doesn't let you start up until charged?
Well after 3 hours of charging it finaly started up but the battery level was low 3% showing that tells me the battery had no charge in it.Well I am happy that it is working and hopefully no other problems show up.
Good to hear
Same exact thing happened to me, lol. Mine arrived with zero charge and I just let it sit for about an hour plugged in and all was well.

Phone doesn't turn on or charge with empty battery

My phone's battery just died while charging. No idea how it happened, but apparently it wasn't charging at all, even though it displayed a charging icon.
Now it's turned off and it won't charge. When I plug it in, it turns on, displays the screen with the big battery, as usual, but only for a few short seconds. Then it turns itself on, even though it has no power, and shuts itself down immediately after it turns on, meaning it never charges. Then it goes t the big battery screen again, then turns itself on etc. and this goes in a circle for all eternity.
What do I do? I have no battery charger and I don't have any friends with a SGS3
(I'm running UltimaROM 17.1, in case that's related, which it might be, since I jut flashed it yesterday morning.)

You say you plug it and this happens? But what do you plug in when you wrote this: "I have no battery charger and.." ?
The battery could be dead or maybe it is also the dock connector! I don't know. FIrst buy a new battery. It's not a big deal
Or you try to search for someone who has an S3 and try it out
Good luck!
I meant I have a charger for my phone, like with a USB cable, but I don't own a charger that only charges batteries. Thanks for the quick reply, but I fixed it already. It wouldn't boot to recovery because the battery was completely empty, but with some fast finger-work I managed to plug it in and get it to boot to recovery before the battery screen. Since recovery doesn't use up battery as much, it started charging without shutting down and it's fine now
