Dead phone ? Xperia Tipo - Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E

Hello,
my father have Xperia Tipo Dual phone. And yesterday he did call to work and left phone on desk. After he returned back to desk he noticed phone is off. Phone didn´t say something about low battery. He tried turn it on, but nothing changed. He tried also charging battery with wall charger but no LEDs active (with battery and without). Only one thing, i can connect phone to computer with and without battery. Computer recognises phone as "ZEUS Flash device". My father have important contacts in phone. Is there way to get data back without buying new battery (I don´t know if problem is battery or not )?

So were they backed up to the sim? Also check his google account, he may have them backed up there

No they werent

Just try to turn on the phone while connected to pc, if it doesn't turn on then it's a software problem and there's probably nothing left to do other than restore your phone completely, and if it does turn on then it's a hardware problem, and most likely your battery is dead.

I already tried it but its not working. How i can restore my phone?

Download ftf for your phone and then flash it via flashtool. But remember to unmark "wipe data"
That should save the contacts

Dude if u know a little about electronics and batteries,just try hot wiring the battery to a 3.4 v D.C. Power...that should charge the battery...if u are nit sure about what you are gonna do,just don't try it...instead try a independent external battery charger...(take out battery and charge it)...
hit the thanks if I helped you,don't just say it...

Xperia Miro charging issues!

When I charge my Miro for a very short time like (5-15 percent) my phone won't react to charger at all for 1-2 days, after that everything is ok.
When I charge it from 1-100 percent everything is ok.
That is problem to me for CWM because it needs to be connected to charger.
I am afraid to flash FXP because of that, maybe I need warranty.
Does anyone have those issues?
EDIT: That is why I wasn't trying out my MIUI releases.
Tried repair with pc companion? Reflashed with ftf? That should rule out software problem..
Sent from my ST27i
Yes...:\ Is it software?
So after you charge for short period and stop, it doesn't detect charger for 2 days ( offline charging only? ) but everything else works fine, and after 2 days it recognises charger?
if you tried repairing, its possibly hardware. Try replacing battery with a friend's phone? Maybe battery defect?

No, after that my computer does not recongnise usb at all and my phone does not recongnise charger (both online and offline).
And sometimes it recongnises charger and says "charging" but not charging at all (goes down a bit) or stays the same. After 2 days everything is back to normal :\
And I do not think it is contact...
EDIT: Now it works, again. Must take it to service. But I must do flashtool to delete root and CWM first xD

I had the same problem few days ago. Could you tell me did you find out what was the problem? So that I could fix it next time it happens to me.
Yes. You need to take it to the service. The problem is in the USB (charging) cable.
I did that, they gave me a new cable and problem fixed!
Some times battry pins spit

Battery doesn't hold charge

Hello, my Optimus 3D P920 battery acts very weird. It doesnt hold charge, it shows as charging but after i unplug, it says low battery. I bought a replacement battery and still the same. Bought an external battery and it still acts the same. Today it charged up and stayed full up until i restarted the phone. Then it showed 2-3 percent of charge. Battery calibration didnt work. Could it be software that is faulty?I'm on 2.3.5, so should i update to official ICS?Any suggestions?

How long does they work with this 2-3%? An hour? 2h? 3h? 10h?
Do you have stock ROM or custom?
When did this start? What did you do before you got this for first time?

I was on original GB, now on Custom ICS, still the same, battery on 1%, but the phone will not turn off, i can use it fine apart from camera which doesnt open due to battery being low. Could it be that the battery connectors are faulty?

just for a try... flash this kernel. backup your old ofcourse before that and tell us if you still have the same problem

Okay flashed WKPARKS bootloader, flashed kernel you provided, but battery is still on X. What does this mean: P920/SU760: revert charging mode support to fix 0% battery (v1.21) in WKPARKS thread. Is there any option to revert battery usage or something in the new 1.21 version?
EDIT: by moving one of the metal pin things on the battery connector i managed to turn on the phone and it showed me 100% battery. Then i turned off the phone and played with the pin a lil bit more. Then again it showed 0 percent after turning on. So i guess the problem is in the battery connection port as the middle pin is faulty i guess. Now i need to purchase the whole small connector port and solder it. so far i didnt see any sites selling these charging ports separately. If anyone finds it, drop me a link. Amd thank everyone of ya for the help
I have the same problem, and a search on the internet learned me that many people have this problem.
I'm on 4.04 (official 30a rom).
When I load a battery with another O3D, then it's on 1% immediately when I put it in my phone.
And then when I put it back in the other phone, it starts to load there as well again as if it's really on 1% again.
I can only use my phone now while it's on a cable.
None of the possible solutions that I found on the web work.
It seems to be a hardware problem. It got worse over time. First it only loaded, and then emptied quickly. Now it doesn't load at all anymore.
I'm having this issue too. A way to work around it that works for me:
When charging.
1. Go to the hidden menu (3845# *920#).
2. Choose port settings.
3. Unplugg charger.
4. Select CP USB.
5. Press OK.
Now the phone shows 100% battery and you can use it untill the battery dies.

My phone is on 'No Retention"
When I played around with this option "AP USB" also seemed to work.
(work = back to original failing battery charging status)
---------- Post added at 08:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 AM ----------
I fixed this problem by screwing the battery connection up...
I used a screwdriver to push and pull a bit with the battery connection points on my phone, now it's a bit messed up and bended etc.... but it works...
My original intention was to replace the connection with a working one (my father's old O3D's battery connection) but I wasn't able to get it out in the proper way. (did not really know what the proper way was). So halfway when I figured that I wasn't really pulling it out but more like pulling it apart, I quickly tried to see if it was still working, after pushing things a bit back in shape, and it was!
Lucky me!
I'm not suggesting anybody to follow the same approach, and if you do I'm certainly not responsible for it.
but that's what worked for me.
All I fear now is that it will work for a while... and then something will move again, and it'll be the end of the phone anyway
But if I can use it till the S4 Active is released, then I'm a happy guy!
When i choose AP USB it says "slow recharge" on charge!? And by choosing "no retention" there is no change! Whatz about the other choices? AP UART. ..?

I tried them all, I think.
I'm on 'slow charge' if I'm not using the official LG cable. It still seems to charge pretty quick then.
Just for the record: my 'fix' only lasted for a few days.
At least it showed to my problem was with the connector between battery and phone. I'm going to see if I can get it replaced.
Only one solution is flash original bootloader from no for sale phone,but you can get only froyo e non imei on it but charge battery and keep all of charge in normal mode.

On CMW make full backup of system on sd,copy on pc hdd for future,on sd in backup file nandroid.md5 open in notepad delete all of content and save,copy and overwrite boot.img from this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35429965#post35429965 last reply
advance restore from ext sd ,restore only boot.img.
reboot
the system if you on other of froyo release no start up but if you connect charger it will charge 100% of bater and hold them,only for test,after you can copy and overwrite the boot.img with backup from your pc and will be on same situation become backup.
For this moment last solution stay on froyo without imei because when you downgrade you can't flash baseband so no net coverage on it.
I wait for someone ho can upload original fw version v08i to get work all of thinks in froyo.last chance.
If you have backup of your first firmware you are lucky.
Hi. I've had the same problem with my p920. Tried everything what I've found on the net, but nothing did helped. Day before it happened I've restored my phone to stock because of the screen(the bottom of the screen was unresponsive). The best luck that I've had 2 months of warranty left. So they changed the whole front of my phone. And main board. Battery was the same. I think yours case is the same like mines. Hardware failure.

[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.

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 ?

[Q] Hard Bricked Xperia Tipo

I was installing a WALKMAN Mod while my phone is Low Battery (About 14%), while the mod installing a wipe my sweat using my phone in the edges(LOL ), after a minutes my phone turned off but i did i not see it turning off, after i turned it on it was nothing, the power button part was actually hot, after i inserted a new sim and waited for an hour, my phone vibrated but nothing showed up i removed the battery and boot it again but there was no vibration. After a couple of hours i asked Brother (Previous Owner and Experienced the Problem)if he still knows how to fix it, he said just throw your phone down but not pretty far, i did what he said and i turned on my phone and a red LED light showed up 3 times (indicates its low battery), and the connected to the loptop to restore to stock but the loptop can't recognize the phone and the phone still isn't showing up. :crying:

I haved this issue 2 month ago tried everyway is possible to fix it but always failed, I think it's because battery,if. You plug your phone to charger more than 6 hours the led switch to red and if you hold power button you will see a empty battery icon but the problem is come from hardware not software trust me.
The only thing I done is just went to Sony warranty service and gave them my phone and they switched my (unlocked)phone with a locked phone.

well raven, the phone as i mentioned doesn't enter flashmode, how can i perform flash then?
i do not have any sony service in my country which is a problem if i won't be able to fix it without open the back cover (i'm avoiding that) and i wish there would be any other handful solution!
thank you

Just plug your phone to PC wait a few seconds and it will automatically go to flashmode.

Let me tell you something,when my phone is dead i was able to go into flashmode but no more tried flashing lot of stock ROMs but non of them foxed my problem then i flashed a ftf rom with flashtool and read the log carefully, i saw a eror like that "error battery stats not found", then i plugged my phone to charger an let it stay on charge or a full day, when im unplug it and hold the power button i saw a red led light and a low battery icon in screen,I'm tried lot of things but none of them worked,because as i said it's a hardware problem,phone can't read the battery.

ok, that make sense thou it's a bit different than my case but both has in common... tomorrow i will be obligated to take off the back cover (no more waterproof) and see what's going on... i will keep you updated... it's good that we learn something
Thanks for all your help and time in participation

because of your green flashing light. normally the light should stay on while charging or, blink 3 times if the battery is empty. but random flashes are a sign for a broken board.

It's electronic. not every device is exact the same and sometimes some parts failure quicker then other parts. maybe you got a lemon device who knows.. (or "monday device" as we say in german hehe).:silly:

If you're lucky and it's battery, then order battery from aliexpress and some stickers for back cover. If u do it right, then waterproof will remain (but it wouldn't risk too much).
If you're not so lucky try to find xz premium with broken screen on eBay and use it as donor for mainboard, as I doubt u will be able to find it cheap or at all.

thanks for your suggestion!
i need to take off the back cover and check it first!
i hope is a software problem and it will be fixed by reconnecting the battery connector!
