Some weird problem in phone charging

Hi, I'm using Zeus Build 6, all was going well till yesterday. while plugging for charge show the charging symbol but instead it just depleted my battery (the number % shows on the battery)
restarted the phone, cleared battery status but nothing happen, Even tried with USB , but same thing.
It did happen in past, I just did a factory re-set and all worked fine after then.
writing here to see if i can do something to find out what exactly happening. I'm also not able to connect my phone to computer as usb connection option is not appearing. (tried with diff port/wire).
Any insight, direction where to head.
[right now i'm on 20% battery I'll wait till 10% then will do another factory reset to see if it solve]
Thanks.

I'm assuming you weren't using your phone while charging.
I believe it is the kernel. I had this problem with Entropy's daily driver before. It is just a bad flash. Try going back to stock and re-root. Then, flash Zeus (comes with infusion kernel). After that, flash another kernel via Odin (SGS Kernel Flasher gave me problems before).
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply, Yes I do not use phone while charging. I believe that kernal problem because when ever i switch off my phone and connect charger or usb cable it automatically get switch on every time. Simply flashing zeus again (wipe all things) will do ? is it necessary to go back to stock?
If i flash any rom that means Kernal too will be flashed with that ?

I advice you to do this:
- Go back to stock
- Flash Zeus (Zeus comes with Infusion Kernel which may have caused the problems)
- if problem still persists, flash another kernel through either CWM or Odin
Return to stock and do complete restore to hopefully clear the borked areas of the bad flash you seemed to have.
You can try to just reflash Zeus, but I cannot guarantee that will work as that already happened to me. As much as possible, use Odin to flash kernels.

I am no tech-geek, but I think that kernels are the ones responsible for the boot; overclocking; undervolting; and everything else that is needed to keep the phone going. ROMs are kind of just "like an Operating System" but not really.
Think of it as the ROM being the car and the kernel being the engine as it is responsible for the running of the processor and what not.
Don't quote me on anything, but that is my attempt. As I've said, I am no tech geek and please correct me if I'm wrong.

Ok I flashed
Just flashed again, 1 Hemidal back to stock, 2 Hemidal Entropy kernal to get Red CMW.
3 does the cleaning 4 flashed Aeon.
Now charging is fine but still facing problem in usb connection to phone. some time it got recognized some time not. already changed the cable/port but problem persist.
[ In going from Step 1 to Step 2 you may find problem while putting your phone in download mode, In that case just download ADB, put phone setting->debug mode enabled connect with usb and run "adb reboot download" from command prompt it will do the trick ]

Hey There,
We had the same issue with many units and solved all by doing the following:
-Flashing the unit back to stock
-Performing a factory data reset after flashing(This is a must)
Note: Even though your device will not connect to the computer in PDA mode you should still be able to connect in download mode so it can be flashed with ODIN.(Unless if it's hardware related)

[HELP] Problem in switching on Xperia E Dual

Hi,
I have a xperia e dual and was using NoZ rom (stock JB based ) till now. I recently installed the XboosT (stock ICS based) rom. After flashing the rom via twrp everything was okay except i was facing the baseband problem and also the battery was always showing 100%. So i tried to flash the baseband ftf file. But after i flashed the ftf and rebooted using flashtool, my mob is not switching on. When i press the power button, the device is vibrating, but not even the sony logo is showing. I tried charging it for 10+ hours, but nothing improved. I am unable to find what may be wrong. Please if possible suggest some possible solution . Thanks in advance.

Can you enter flashmode or fastboot mode?
This prob usually arises when you flash an incompatible kernel. It fails to start.

yes i can enter in fastboot and flashmode. In fastboot mode, when i type in the command fastboot devices, it is showing my device. I even flashed the ftf again even if the mob was not switching on. Is my mob bricked?

To charge your phone follow these steps dude !
1. Pull out your battery first !
2. Plug-in charger now to the phone without battery inserted.
3. Now you'll see an LED glowing which is usually used while normal charging.
4. Insert your battery while pressing the back button and make sure the charger is connected with the phone while doing this process.
5. Now your phone will be charging. Have a nice day ! cheers...

Take out the battery, put it in again, and turn it on. Unless you screwed your phone up so badly that tejasjani55's solution is required, you might try this.

I already tried that too, but still not working.

Not sure, but try this. Take out the battery, and hold the power button for ~5 seconds. Connect the phone to a PC. Flash the stock FTF. When it asks to press the back button, insert the battery (without removing the microUSB). The flash will begin. After the flash is complete, let the phone be for about half an hour, then remove the cable and turn it on.

Hi
I had this same problem a while ago, I am sorry to say your phone is bricked BUT FIXABLE
1. Take battery out of the phone.
2. Install all drivers needed.
3. Download Sony Update Service (Google it).
4.Open SUS and click Agree and next, select the Xperia E and hit next.
5. Put the battery in.
6. Now as instructed by SUS plug in the USB cable to the PC while holding the volume down key.
7. If you have done everything correctly, update service should detect your phone.
8. Click Install and follow instructions on screen.

Okay, I'll try again later with other computer. Nothing wrong with your method, I follow your instructions step by step and when the process completed, I unplug the usb from my phone, exit from SUS, turn on the phone, and still vibrate a second with green light blinking. Now, I try use PC Companion, still progress. Or maybe something wrong with my hardware?

If this is the case then it is bricked. Take it to the store and if your under warranty get it fixed for free. If not your only choice is to pay to get if fixed.
This also happened to me!

First of all !
I think you might have a battery issue too !
First charge your battery fully !
Incase it isn't charging follow these steps :
- Pull out battery
- Plug in the charger and start charging
- After the charging LED turns on, insert the battery while pressing the back button and during this don't stop charging.
- Congo, now you have your phone charging.
Now, make sure you have an unlocked bootloader of your Phone to try the flashing things and if you already have it unlocked then try relocking it with Flashtool and apply for warranty ! or you can still flash your original stock firmware with locked bootloader too or use Sony Update Service.
You can check out this thread for the Sony Xperia E Single stock firmware and guide to get back into stock :
Link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568176
Or if you want your bootloader unlocked and want to fix the phone then try flashing the stock firmware of your device.
As mentioned by other members in the earlier posts.

Hmm. Do you still have warranty left? Reading this thread, and assuming you have tried everything, I see no other option that returning it to the shop(if you still have warranty). Sorry, man. Perhaps a smarter person than me could help, but I don't see any other solution. Sorry, man.
Goodluck!

My Xperia E3 doesn't start

Hello, my problem is that exactly yesterday i turned my phone off
wanted to turn it on ,but it simply doesn't work
can't get it to recovery or the pc communication mode (i guess it's locked anyway, i don't know).
Thought it was battery, charged it to 100%, nothing.
Literally anything would help me.

It happened to me also the phone no longer loads so I dismantle them check the motherboard(its ok ) and manually charge the battery because it had the problem of 0 volt

If nothing works for you just flash it

Constant boot loop even after flashing rom
My sony e3 gets in boot loop every one or two day even when i try to flash the stock rom or lineage, nitrogen one.
So basically i have to flash any of the rom every now and then to keep it running. Can anyone please suggest me a solution or at least tell me why this happens??

Did you do a wipe before flashing?
