hey im running on stock and have had no problems up until a couple of days ago where the battery icon on my G2x shows that its charging but i dont have it plugged in at all. what bothers me the most is that my phone wakes up randomly as if it has been plugged to the charger. Anyone else have this issue? i havent heard of a problem like this happening to anyone else. Any ideas? oh and yes i did a complete wipe of everything but the problem is still there.
Just had this happen twice yesterday, but even worse off. The charging state toggles about every half second. When I try to turn the screen off it will pop back on and the "Charging (XX%)" will flash on and off on the lockscreen, keeping the screen on. It stopped about 30 seconds into the madness both times. I'm not too worried about it. I'll exchange the phone if it becomes an issue. Kinda curious what it is though.

I am facing exactly the same problem as quoted above. Got my G2X day before yesterday and this problem starts to happen as soon as (and every time) the battery comes down to 70%. It does not happen when the battery is full. I am on Android version 2.2.2. Haven't been able to upgrade yet. Did you guys try upgrading to gingerbread? Does that solve the problem?
I have a strong feeling that it is a software problem, not a hardware one. What do you think?
I dont have the same phones as u guys, but my problem is the same, it thinks its charging but i dont have it plugged in. I'm sure its a software issue, rebooting, removing battery, hard resets dont work. did any of u guys solve the problem, if so, any clues as to what the issue was that i can look into?
Did it get wet?? I had this problem a while back when I wiped my phone off with a damp towel. Some water had got on the connector at the bottom. I just pulled the battery and got some canned air and got it out. Haven't had that problem since

hello
i have drain my battery.
now it dont charge and dont turn on
i think is the CWM.
i used a 9v battery to charge my battery, but the phone dont turn on
when i connect to be charged the orange led, blinks for 11 times...
what i can do to turn on my phone ?
I had this problem. its not CWM. If u drained your battery till its fully dead. It has to be charged at a certain point for it to turn on. the blinking orange light means its charging. I left mines for 5 mins on the charger then unplugged it. Then hit the power button, then it turns on.

i will try it...
what recovery you have ?
i have cwm 4.1.0.5
Question... When you plugged it in in it's "completely dead" state, was the led off, flashing, solid? I drained my battery completely, when I plug it in, the led flashing 11 times last 3 flashes are slow then goes dark.
I tried doing what the ABOVE post said with connecting a bare usb wire for 20 mins to + and - red and black ...
but did not work either, maybe just going to tmobile and getting a battery switched out since it is still a new phone... may work? Its not even recognizing the phone in the computer to do the adb reboot function either... someone who fixed this issue please help us! dire need to use the phone ahhhh
theres like 4-5 people with this problem on the forums right now that havent figured out how to solve it

flashed this recovery and tested for charging while off and led on PERFECT thanks!!!
Hello everyone, yesterday evening, return home and I realize that the cell is turned off, think "will discharge the battery," put in office, at which point the LED turns on and off then after 5 / 6 flashes then stays on for 5 seconds back other to blink 3 times and then turn off everything completely but the phone does not want to re-ignite. I tried to remove battery and was in charge all night but nothing to do, no signs of life.
anyone have any ideas?
though unfortunately had to serve as a service bought in germany sensation with vodafone branding, those who contact the warranty?
thanks to all who will be able to give me a help
Sorry for English greetings
Which clock work mod are you running? some people are having trouble charging while the phone is turned off because of clock work mod, you will need to buy a new battery or charge the battery in another sensation long enough so you can turn the phone on and charge it. Hope this helps!

+1 My thoughts exactly. Currently using CWM 5.0.1.0 and have no problems. Died out the battery completely and was able to pull a charge and have it show via LED.
Hello and thanks for your response, recovery, if I remember correctly is 4.1 and something.
SOLVED! for all to hear:
I took a cable "that I had the ugliest" I cut and I got the black and red wires, attached to the battery manually "on the red positive" and "negative black" to give a little charge and after a while I put battery in the phone is finally on again ....

I tried everything posted on forums to get my sensation out of the blinking orange light issue and the one above this post was my solve, just give that battey a little impuls with 5Volts and it will wake up again.GREAT!
Ghalba, youre my hero!
Blinking orange light issue by some chance while you had CWM flashed did you check if after the Orange LED would blink the Flashlight would kinda flash as well ?

Man !!!! This is obvious.
When your Battery is toooooooo low then phone can't boot, so orange light blinks means Battery is collecting some power to boot at least. It will take 2-3 minutes, then orange light will get stable. Means now you can boot your device.
This is NORMAL !!!

I know its normal but i charged it for 2 hours and the mobile wasnt charging at all , thats why I posted on XDA .
BTW rebooting from the bootloader seems to have done the trick and now the mobile is working perfectly fine.
THANKS EVERYONE!

You can also boot in recovery and clear your battery stats then make two cycles charging/full discharging, as the charging time is 8h+
Hello guys , I am having a serious problem with my Sony Xperia E , it seems to be bricked. Something went wrong , I heard it happens sometimes because of software bug or whatever , and your phone goes into this sleep mode , which won't charge at all. I mean , when I plug it in to charge , the red led lights up (once every 3-4 seconds) untill it finally starts up , but when it starts up it shutdowns since the battery is 0% and not charging. On the internet I could not find any help about Sony Xperia E and this red led error. So , if anyone knows what to do.. Please help me , I'm too lazy to take it to a service and besides I don't got money to spare for it

Hi Cezar and everyone else (this is my first post),
I had the exact same problem and i was sure i bricked my phone beyond repair but there is a way to fix it. So my first thought was to externaly charge my battery but you can't do that, so i came up with a way. You will need to strip one end of the USB cable and separate the black and the red wire. The red wire is positive and the black is negative. Put the two wires between the battery and the positive and negative sockets in your phone (like shown in the pictures [attached]). And now your phone will be charging .
And do not forget, red is the postive, black the negative!
I hope this solves your problem!
P.S. Don't mind the black box, I built it just so i can use it for projects to have a power source, it's just a switch and a LED

Hello,
I was in the exact same situation yesterday with my Xperia J but luckily i managed to fix it, Your battery is able to charge what's happened is it's completely flat like there's no juice left, So what you have to do Plug your charger in via Mains and leave it like that for a good hour or two, Take your phone off charge and push the power button and see if the red led flashes 3 times if it does this means your battery is still flat, So what i did next is plugged it in via USB and put it in flashmode attempting to flash stock rom back onto it, but that just completely failed so then i tried flashing CWM that did get me somewhere my phone booted up after but then it died again so i left it on charge via USB this time for one hour and it was charging as usual i then flashed Stock rom back onto it, it was still bricked after (bootloop) so i flashed it again, and it got my device back to good health, Not sure if any of that made sense but **** it :laugh:

Thanks for the post and the help , but I have a question , in this way will I still be able to get things from my PC to my device and vice-versa ? or it will make it chargeable only ?
And also , is this the only way to deal the problem ? And do you have any ideea what causes this ?
Hi cezar,
Just keep your phone on origenal charger and cable for an hour. This should work.

Well with this method you will need a spare USB cabel for data transfer/flashing because this one will be just a USB on the one side and stripped wires on the other.
This is the only way I found how to deal with this problem, you could always find someone with the same phone so that he can charge your battery for you.
This problem is a symptom of a soft brick. I guess you flashed a ROM that isn't stable so you found yourself in a loop. My advice is to do one of the things I said and in the future flash nee ROMs with at least 50% battery so you don't find yourself in this situation!
P.S. Try SONYs Emma, thats a cute little program for flashing stock ROMs especially in situations like this one.

In my case this disnt't work because my phone was stuck in a loop, it would start charging, boot up by itself, get to the point that it has 0% battery and power off by itself.

hmm I just thought about this. I do have indeed a custom ROM , but this didn't happen in process of flashing. just randomly , a month maybe I after cyanogenmod 11. Anyways , I just thought about this. What if I get another batterry from one of my friends , flash back to stock on my device and then give back the battery to that guy. Wouldn't that just work ?
