I will tell the whole history just in case, it might be relevant.
It started with battery problems, it was charging at a very slow rate (4-5 hours) and it was lasting 1 hour top. The camera was the cuplrit, it wasn't working at all and by disabling the camera app the phone worked fine for a week.
Suddenly stopped charging now.
When the phone is on it doesn't recognize the charger not even the computer, no bottom led. The computer doesn't recognize the phone either.
When the phone is off, if i connect the charger, the bottom led turns red for a second, SONY logo appears, battery appears for another second and reboots... infinitely.
I thought that the USB connector was the problem but i can connect it to my laptop in fastboot mode and flashmode, the phone is recognized in both modes, i even "repaired" the phone with Sony PC Companion and i'm having the same problems like before: no camera and no charging.
I don't think it is a firmware problem, i've re-flashed two stock firmwares from XPERIA Firmware website and no success.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Dude I have the exact same problem. Would like to find out a solution
Could be a hardware problem.
charging problem
I will tell the whole history just in case, it might be relevant.
i used power bank to charge my phone,Suddenly stopped charging now.
When the phone is on it doesn't recognize the charger not even the computer, no bottom led. The computer doesn't recognize the phone either.
It is charging properly with power bank always but not with charger and computer with usb. if i connect the charger, the bottom led turns red for a second, SONY logo appears, battery appears for another second and reboots... infinitely.
I thought that the USB connector was the problem but i can connect it to my laptop in fastboot mode and flash mode, the phone is recognized in both modes, i even "repaired" the phone with Sony PC Companion and i'm facing the same problem still.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Anyone?
Also would HTC Desire charger work with it? (the sticks looks same - microUSB, but looks like the phone is not charging)
Also if the phone is dead, is there any way i can check if the battery/screen or whatever else is faulty?
When i connect it under Windows with USB cable, it says that the device cannot be recognized and the drivers cannot be installed.
When connected with USB, i did hold the power button to turn it on but it doesnt start and the phone keeps vibrating continuusly.
Look on the back, or inside, even under battery, for more information.
I already know it's Samsung Galaxy Mini II, homever i have issues turning it on.
All microusb chargers are the same except for amperage. Try all you have. This phone is probably terminally damaged, but try a new battery if possible.
It's really strange (the phone was little wet) homever, sometimes it's starting just fine and sometimes wont turn on at all.
I have removed battery and put it to the bowl with a rice for a night and will see if that helps.
My "dampness" recovery is to disassemble and put phone/tab/laptop in in very low oven ie 125-135 degrees F for several hours. You may have ti turn oven on & off manually to get that low temperature. Your mileage may vary.
OK so basically the phone is in following state:
It's charging fine, homever the biggest problem atm is i cannot get the usb mass storage to work.
I'm connecting it to the PC and the phone is detecting it as AC charger not USB - PC is not even trying to install any drivers.
PC is not detecting the phone at all (phone is detecting that its being connected, the button backlights are lighting up)
I got no dropdown in the phone to select charging, mass storage etc. (when i do it in settings/communication/usb settings it keeps saying to connect the usb cable, but the phone is charging so its connected just fine)
When i was connecting it for the first time windows tried to install drivers but failed, also it was constantly disconnecting the phone from usb cable (now its fine it seems)
When i connect it using "Kies Air" it's working homever i still dont see the SD Card in "My Computer" for example.
What a mess, anyway any idea how to get the USB working again?
Try different cable, and/or different PC.
I ordered new usb cable, homever i doubt it's the problem as the phone is recognizing connection and also it's charging fine.
My phone only shows the the elephone 2 e sign when I turn it on. I have tried pressing the on and volume key when I turn it on but nothing happened. I have followed some instructions on the elephone manufacturer site about installing drivers to my computer and then trying to reinstall the firmware. Unfortunately my computers (I have tried on three different ones) does not identify that a device is connected to the computer. Therefore I can't proceed to install the driver as according to my computer it is not installed. I have tried 2 different leads as well. I would be grateful for some help as I have no idea where to go from here.
Facing a similar issue, and since there's still no reply to this thread, I would like to add up a few findings I have on this matter to maybe help others and get helped.
My P3000S is also reaching the Elephone logo and displays it for a minute and then restarts, repeating the process (aka boot-loop).
The same happens whether it is connected or not connected to the charger/computer through a USB cable. (I've tried new cables but that's not the case).
When disconnected I can stop the boot-loop only by holding down the on/off button for a few seconds (or removing the battery of course).
When connected to the the charger or computer through the USB cable I have no way to stop the boot-loop (holding down on/off just restarts it).
Now with the battery removed..:
If I connect it to the charger/computer, though the charging red light turns on normally, I can't turn on the phone using the on/off button.
However, when connected through USB to a windows computer, I can see in the device manager that, right when I connect the phone it shows up as "Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Port" under COM ports group, for 1 second and then disappears as if it was disconnected. There's no repetition here I have to manually hold down the on/off button or disconnect and reconnect the phone from the cable to cause this to happen again.
So, I am unable to flash anything nor turn the phone on because I practically only have 1 second of its presence in my devices list.
Also, I have tried all possible combinations with the volume up/down keys and the on/off button in order to enter recovery mode, with no success..
In case anyone has faced something similar or has any ideas on a possible fix on this phone please feel free to reply.
At last a reply to my initial message. Unfortunately it was someone with the same problem as me. I took out a paypal case against the person I bought the phone from and eventually they repaired it. Unfortunately they never told me how. To make matters worse it broke again within 2 months. The phone is now sat in a draw doing nothing. I have given up on it and will never buy another Elephone phone again.
The problem started a few days after flashingMegbyte Kernel r_4 on top of RR 5.5.8 on my 1.5 year old Moto X.
Here's what i did and what happened after that-:
-Kernel Auditor->Battery-> Enabled "Fast Charging over USB"->Apply on boot (Wasn't available in stock Kernel)
- Worked fine for a day or so
-Phone starts to misbehave. I plugged the usb cable, but it used to take a few seconds for actually start charging
-The ROM becomes unstable
-I switched off my phone and plugged the charger. The motorola "Bootloader Unlocked" warning shows up. It shows that big battery indicator, but then switches off automatically.The process repeats and this keeps happening until i don't unplug the charger or force boot.
-Meanwhile, when my phone is turned on, and i plug in the charger, sometimes it shows the charging indication in statues bar, but when i got Settings-> Battery, it shows that it isn't charging.(Can't post any link to screenshot yet ._.)
-Sometimes, when i plugged in the charger, the phone didn't show any indication or charged
(MY CABLE AND CHARGER IS COMPLETELY FINE. USED ON OTHER PHONES)
-I thought it was the ROM's fault, so i flashed CM 12.1
-I am on CM now and still facing the problem
-I've tried callibrating the battery, no luck!
-My computer detects that theres a device when my phone is connected via USB, but cant detect what device it is. I've downloaded Motorola USB drivers. The computer did detect which device i was using but only for a minute or so.
I am in need of help and your help would be appreciated! :]

Hi all please help me resolve this issue. The issue is My lg g2 D800 is not charging. I still got 30% of battery left. everything is working normally. There is no problem with any other functionality. also the battery is draining normally. I did a factory reset but that didn't solve the issue. but when i totally shut down the phone and connect the usb it shows that it charging in shut down mode but its take like 5 hours to charge 4%. I also can go download mode by pressing and hold vol+ and connecting usb to the pc but i cant find my phone in download mode. also in normal mode USB cant find my phone.
only the phone shows the red notification of charging when i shut it down but normally it's charging in a super snail mode. i tried different cable and charger that works perfectly with other phone.
should i replace the charging port? or is there any voltage regulator that is damage? in that case i might change the whole motherboard. I thought of resetting the phone to kitkat using the lg flashing tool that i normally use to jump from 20c to 20y then to lollipop but since i cant find my phone in download mode i cant even try that. I did rooted my phone previously but now i am using lollipop without rooting.
thanks in advance for any helpful suggestion.
I have this problem too. . .are you got a solution?
When the charger is connected the red notification light comes up , Sony logo comes up and within an fraction of second the screen goes blank. And again the Sony logo comes up and again it gets gets blank. This continues until the charger is plugged in. Similiar situation happens while the device is connected to pc via usb. Have changed the cable, changed charger, changed ports, tried every type of available reset options. Nothing worked. The device is dead.
Cannot flash the device because it gets disconnected and connected by itself. Any solution please??
