Charging problems ! :|

Today when I connected the charger to my R it played a notification sound which is played when one connects it to a power source but then within a matter of 5 - 10 secs again it played that sound.
After that within a few mins when I left it to fully charge from 90 % it misreported me that its fully charged to 100% with a notification in the status bar which was not possible as it couldn't charge 10 percent in 5 - 7 mins. So I disconnected it and reconnected it after a few secs to find that its still charging from 90 %.
It also restarted during a call after all this.
Current conditions: I am on Indian stock kernel & ROM cause my PC has been given for repairs.
What could be the cause of the problem that I'm currently facing ?
Possible causes I could think of:
- The USB socket's soldering on the motherboard could have given way & may be loose.
- The charging circuit of my motherboard could be acting up due to unknown reasons.
Q.1 Has anyone of you faced similar issue in the past ?
Q.2 What do you think could be the cause of the problem ?
Kindly help me determine the problem as the only other option would be taking it to the SSC for a checkup.

i also faced this problem but very rare, it will show 100% once i remove the charger it will show 90%, i will reboot it and after reboot again it will start charging...

I had the same problem last week. I took it to ssc. They called it a firmware problem as always :what: but then they replaced the battery. Now I don't have that problem but my battery backup sucks now.

You should go back and ask for a new battery and tell them that this one doesn't hold the charge.
BTW in your case did the charger disconnect itself without any user input when connected to the usb port and then again without any input reconnects itself ?

yes its one of their standard procedure
if u claim about battery life first they will flash stock fw and if u still keep complaining about battery they will give u new battery. in my friends gs2 they replaced battery for 2 times yet he faced probs with battery backup so at last ssc replaced his whole motherboard

@cooleagle, 90% prob could be software related. but as u said drop of charger connection seems hardware issue, check ur charger's micro usb plug is it loose or damaged?
once this happened with me i kept my charger in bag and somehow in bag charger's micro usb plug got broken from inside and then whenever i connected my phone it was giving prob of dropping connection like u said, first i thought there is prob with phone but when i examined charger i found out plug was loose and it was giving me probs.

My charger's port is fine buddy.

u can backup games file data by copying ur whole internal storage but to backup scores and progress u have backup system folder's data and it probably needs root, btw u can backup ur whole phone with cwm but u will have to do flashing on ur phone

In my case, I would put on phone on charging around 30% and after 10 min, it would show 100% done. When I disconnect charger, it would show anything like 82%, then after reboot, it would show 5% and after taking out battery and putting again, it would be back to 30-35% and then charge normally. This disconnection thing you are talking about happened with usb charging not normal charging.

My problem got resolved when I cleaned the USB port with a cleaning solution used to clean electronic boards. If you are on stock ROM & have not rooted your handset then take it to the Service center as your USB charging port could be non-functional / damaged.
But if you're rooted then clear your counter & flash the Indian 2.3.5 stock ROM before going to the service center.
Do update here when the problem is resolved.
Hope this helps.

When charging not rebooting means... Battery pins are not tightly connected.

You've tried the solution already
Now the battery pins are pretty tight and making proper contact?
Then mostly it's battery proper try another battery if you got one.. Or else get a new one (anker 1900mah preferably)

[Help]Sony Xperia E - RED LED unchargable battery

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 ?

Flash stock rom and you will see.

It happens to a lot devices including me
It is not a kernel or a ROM problem,it happens to almost a lot Samsung devices not only core!
THE FIX IS: Remove ur battery,now plug in charger and wait for sometimes and put in battery!(Don't pull out charger)
Then it will start charging! Sometimes it may not also work,then u shud keep our device aside for around 30 minutes and do the above procedure!
~Hope it helps

Dont just say thanks,press it also!

Thannk you so much for this solution, it worked I guess I will be a little less frustrated with my galaxy core in the future i.e. not throw it out the window.
What could be the cause for the charging issue? It seems a random problem.

My phone samsung S4 mini GT I 9192
Please help me:crying

specify which rom you were using?
what was the battery % when it died?

Also İ have tried jig usb, all debricks
Battrey about 60-70 %

As asked earlier plz specify which rom u r using in ur device... N if m not wrng sudden draining of battery caused ur device to turnoff.. Try the battry to chrg with chrgr n if it will not work go with any alternative turbo charger having output currnt more than 2/3A. N if all these wont work then search out the nearest mobile repairing shop they will boost up ur deep dischrged battery by gravity or something.. After ur device gets open make sure to calirate the battery first.. Which helps to check the sudden draining..

My battrey is ₩orking. İ have tryed on other S4 mini 9192. Battrey is ₩orking. İ THİNK phone hard brick
