Hello All,
Been reading threads regarding similar issues since my issue occurred last night, but none of the fixes seem to do the trick for me. I am on AOCP CP2 basically since the time I got my Note, and haven't had any issues with battery, charging, or anything else for that matter. Last night my phone gave me a 15% battery warning, and by the time I checked it 5 minutes later, it was down to 1%. I went and plugged it in, and it had died by the time I got to the charger. Plugged it in and an empty battery symbol with the 'refresh' icon in the center appeared. Let it sit for about an hour then came back to power it up.
- A normal length press of the power button did nothing
- Holding the power button for about 10 seconds yielded three vibrations, then the display of the empty battery with refresh icon, which promptly disappeared
- Holding power + vol. up, power + vol down, all three, power + home + vol, all result in the same as above
-Computer does not recognize the phone via usb
-Removing the battery and connecting to computer via usb makes the phone vibrate repeatedly. Adding the battery while this is happening gives 3 vibrations and the dead battery with refresh icon on the screen
Tried:
-Leaving it plugged into charger overnight
-Removing battery/sim/sd card for various lengths of time
-Holding power button down with battery removed
-cleaned usb port with toothbrush (wasn't that dirty to begin with and hasn't seen water)
I don't have an extra battery or charger to test things out with at the moment, but if anyone has any insight beyond the things I've already tried and read, it would be greatly appreciated! Happy Thanksgiving!

try to charge ur battery on another phone or replace it with a frined's one... and then power on ur phone
This happened to me few times.
After charging it for a bit, I removed battery and put it back. Long hold power.
I just repeat this and eventually it will turn on.

In my experience on i717, it happened just few times, only with "The Collective" jb rom... cp 4.2
Last week, I tried updating my TF201 to the latest firmware. Upon doing so, I found that my tablet refused to start. It charges fine (indicated by the orange light), but the most it will do is vibrate when I hold the power button. I've done many combinations of other buttons to, including Volume + and - with Power and pressing Reset, but all to no avail. I'm not quite familiar with the term "bricked", but is this what it is?

nothing shows on the screen after it vibrates?

Not to sound stupid or anything but are you sure it is charging? If you leave it on the charger the light should be green when charged....could be the battery needs to be charged. Also when you plug it in the prime should try to boot... if it has enough battery if it is dead it will not boot.... try charging it until the light turns green.

Try to charge on a Desktop or Laptop first, because this ''wakes-up'' the battery.
Don't ask me why, Asus Support told me. But it did work in my case.
Hi All,
I was out a couple of days back and my battery died. No trouble, come back home and charge it up. Worth noting that in recent months battery performance has been poor with a full charge only lasting about 8hours or so. I put this down to a new ROM I flashed as well as natural deterioration (18 month old S3).
Plug into the wall, red charging LED comes on, but the battery splash screen does not. Tried another charger...same. Thinking nothing of it I go to bed and wake up next morning to be greeted by a green charging LED. However, still no battery splash screen. I try to boot...it doesn't. When I "power on" the bottom LED buttons do light up white and go off after a few seconds. When I press the hold button again, they also come on for a few seconds. If i press the hold button while the button LEDs are on, they go off.
This makes me think the screen has broken as both the hold button and the charging LED is doing what it would do...but without any screen activity. However, it was not dropped or put under any pressure in any way. I have opened it up and also made sure the ribbon is undamaged and connected properly. I have tried calling the phone to no avail. It also does not vibrate or make any noises. Perhaps the battery doesn't have enough juice? Its as if its on the battery splash screen, I just cant see it.
I should mention the screen is infact cracked from an incident about 6-8 months ago. It was however, fully functional. Presumably, this will unfortunately stop me from sending it in. It was also using a flashed rom (CM11) and a flashed kernal (Boeffla).
I used a multimeter and measured 3.96v across the battery so that's fine. I can't test the current as I cant break into the S3 circuit and I dont have a resistor on hand to put some load on it.
Next steps?

Try to put it in odin mode (power+vol down+home then press vol up to agree that you are now in odin mode). You should see it in odin.
If you dont see it, your battery or energy system of your phone is broken. Otherwise your screen is probably broken?.

I've managed to get it into download mode and too show up in odin. I can also get it to show the files in Windows if i wait after holding the power button.
This all indicates it is in fact booting up and the screen is broken...
...BUT...no sound...no vibration...and no calls received
Its as if its only half on. Beginning to suspect a catastophic motherboard failure. Is it possible the battery is at fault? Its as if a whole power rail providing for the phone receiver, loudspeaker, vibrator and screen has gone.

Can you try this?

and let it ring?
Anyone getting the sleep of death on their XTZ2? I'm running completely stock (not even rooted) on 23.0.1.A.4.30 and just experienced the unit not turning on at all until I do power + up volume.
Upon returning to life, the battery was 90%, so it wasn't battery.
Had a bit of a panic attack until I googled the solution (power + up) but this is the first time its happened to my unit, could it be related to the recent upgrade to 23.0.1.A.4.30? Anyone else seen this?
Mine lasted a day and a half after the 23.0.1.A.4.30 update and then became very erratic and kept forgetting wifi login info.
Did a restart and certainly got a sleep of death OK.
Would not switch on at all.
No power + vol up or attempt at repair via PC Companion made any difference to it.
Since gone back to Sony for repair, that was weeks ago, who knows if /when they will return it.
I had the same problem with mine as well I have the 561 the Verizon model. I have received a replacement but have not been able to get it to turn on either. It shows no signs off life at all not even when connected to power AC or PC. My old one would blink red and go dead when connected to a PC but this one doesn't even do that. I haven't had time to call for another replacement yet but really two defective devices in a row the second one didn't turn once.
Finally got mine back from Sony repair agent.
Worked fine for 3 days, then failed to power on again as per original fault.
Once again returned it for repair.
Think I'll give up and buy an iPad instead - at least they seem to be reliable and consistent.
This just happened to my tablet this morning. Tried all options under the sun but can't get it to boot.
I can't even do a factory reset and I don't particularly want to return it under warranty.... :'(
Mine is an xperia z2 tablet sgp561 (USA Verizon) build 17.1.D.0.437, stock 4.4.2. This issue happened to me 5 days ago after I powered off the tablet, it won't turn on again. Battery charge was ~70% at the time. Plugging it with factory Sony usb charger won't do anything, charging status LED remained Off, power button unresponsive. I let the tablet sit for 2 days without charging cable connected hoping the battery will drain completely by itself and the buggy firmware will restart executing at its base address getting out of the bug. Then I connected the crap to a fully charged 15000mah Anker power pack and alas, the charging status LED glowed red and after ~5 more minutes the LCD screen turned On for ~5 seconds showing a big battery icon at the center of the screen indicating 0% charge. Waited about 1 more hour and the charging status LED turned amber. This time I did the "power button + volume up" ritual holding both buttons for 10 sec+, expecting 3 vibrations but didn't feel any. At this point the tablet is still powered off. Because LED = amber, thinking battery must be at least 10% charged by now, just pressed the power button for ~2 sec and surprisingly the normal power On vibration came followed by Sony logo on LCD screen and the rest is normalcy.
From what I can remember, the recent change I made before this problem happened was turning Stamina to On in the battery settings (factory default is Off). I reset all settings back to factory defaults and so far so good.
Finally got mine back from Sony repair agent after about 3 week wait.
Seems to work OK now, fingers crossed it will keep working this time.
The note that came with the return indicated that they replaced the mainboard and battery, which is a better solution than their first attempt which was just to reflash the software.

Dude same thing, WTF is going on, I tried plugging it into charger, nothing. And once I got the msg of red colour battery icon and then I plugged it in. then it started charging and I was happy so I turned it on the it wasn't charging,
Please update me what happened and what they are saying cause I am about to send mine to get it fixed.
Edit: seems that by replacing the battery and mainboard has actually fixed the issue? Guess it's time to send it back to them, Gosh

Did this method work for you? Plus did you come across like it was charging but it wasn't really charging,(like it showed the low battery stat with orange/red colour LED notification but suddenly it vanishes) then it's not responding at all.??
I had this issue 2 times with months in between , no response from power+vol up , no lights when charging , no response from pressing on the red button behind the flaps.
The last time it happened i tried putting it on the charger for a whole day with no result, then decided to let it rest a few days first , since someone had the same issue and it magically came back to life when he got back from a vacation.
So i try to turn it on 2 days later and the tablet to my surprise responds again with blinking red LED, recharching afterwards did the trick and worked again since
In my case i was running CM11 at the time, both times it happened after an update which required a reboot while, still mistified about the cause and the fix , i presume it solved itself by letting the battery drain.
Since then i reverted to stock rom just to be save but havent had it happen since, this also seems to have fixed some touchscreen problems i was having at times.
Hope this helps.
Bloody hell, I've just ordered mine today!
Don't stress. Mine got repaired. if it goes tits up that's what warranty is for
What did Fonebiz indicate was wrong with your Z2.?
They replaced the motherboard in mine.
Exactly the same, works fine now
This just happened to me today. So seems like overall suggestion is to try and let it discharge. The try to start it back up and charge it then. Just want to make sure that's the only potential solution now?
No! Leave it powered off, put in on a known good charger for at least 12 hrs. Don't touch it in that time.
If it does not come alive after that, send it in for repair.
ok..let me try that. I originally tried that and nothing occurred. However, I just found the OEM charger and usb cable and will try that. Unfortunately it's a Verizon version so sending it in will not be covered by Sony warranty. Per the Customer Service that I called.
ok..tried another charger and the red light came on, but it's been over 12 hours and still no go. I did notice that the red light was no longer on (from overnight charging). I left it unplugged for a bit and reconnected. The red light came back on but still no response. Sounds like i'll need to send in?
Looks like it.
Had the same problem on tuesday. Impossible to switch on, no light, none effect with charger, none effect when connected to PC/MAC etc...
After 4 days without charging my Z2, it came back to life, showing only a big red battery icon when pushing some seconds on the power button. Connected to a charger the red led indicator glowed ! (red battery icon is totally different with the original icon when tablet is charging in power off mode)
After a full battery charge with OEM charger and after a normal power on, my Z2 is now perfectly functionnal.
Hello,
My S6 turned off due to 0% battery this evening so I just plugged it in and let it charge. When I went to bed later, it was showing 97%, I unplugged it and tried to turn it on but it wouldn't. Tried all buttons combination (volume up+home+lock, volume down+home+lock for several sec, all four buttons etc....). When I put it on my wireless charger, the light of the charger turns on but nothing on the phone.
Also no water damage + phone was not hot when unplugged.
Any clue ? Warranty just ended on 27th of Dec
Thanks in advance for your support !
Tried simulated battery removal?
Vol down + power for more than 10sec
