My phone won't boot I left it off and charging
Now if I try to boot it nothing happens
If I plug in the charger there's 3 slow blinking light them a fourth one which is about twice as long then it repeats once then stops
Is it bricked or something please help
no not bricked. did you let your phone die before charging it?
take the battery out for about 10 minutes or longer, then put it back, plug the charger, just let it. then turn it on after few minutes. happens to me all the time.
Uhh my battery just broke its producing 2.4 volts instead of the needed 3.7 volts my phone is fine I tried my brothers battery from a G2 turns if you can get the contacts to line up a sensation will work fine on a G2 battery it doesn't fit but oh well
Had this problem. I just left it. Will stop eventually.
Have you tried leaving it on charge with the orange light blinking for a while? It may just be completely drained, and after a while stop blinking whist charging.
If I drain my battery completely (when conditioning battery), when I first plug the charger in the orange light flashes for a minute or so before staying on constant. It only does this if I completely drain the battery, so maybe try leaving it charging for a few hours and see if it charges up?
cheers
hello,
so this is exactly what happened .. the tablet was working very good, no battery problems at all, then there was a day when i forgot to charge it, and it reached 0% battery and turned off.
I put it in the charger for a few seconds, it showed a loading screen (the one before it shows it's charging) but then before the charging mode was up i plugged it off(idiocy i know) .
It then kept stuck on the loading sign, and kept like that for a few minutes until it had no charge again. After that it didn't accept any charging and kept stuck on the loading screen. powering it up leaded to a boot loop, and when i tried recovery it worked but still not charging. I had no time then so i left it around for like a month and now it doesn't even power up at all even when charger is plugged.
is the problem with the battery or is it something else ?
thanks !!
Charge the battery or fit a new battery .
So I bought my z5 in November, everything has been working fine, up until recently.... first I noticed after I charged it the battery was draining rapidly. like a % every few minutes, charged it from 100% and it died on me in less than 6 hours. Now I charged it again and the battery drain issue is still present. Now it won't even charge I pluged it into the phone it vibrates the charge light goes on but then it goes off and refuses to charge... Turned the phone off tired to charge it nothing, turned it on tried to charge it nothing, plugged it into my computer it vibrates, then nothing, it won't even show up on the computer:crying:
Seems a bad usb cable?
nope tried multiple cables it refuses to charge
ok unplugged it and re plugged it, now it is charging, but I can't go 5hrs without it needed to be charged from 100% last thing I remember doing was updating apps, but still that should not affect the battery and usb cable connection still won't show up on my pc, it's taking forever to charge and it's on quick charge
Factory reset
same problem even after the factory reset

I tried other cables and it refuses to recognize on the PC, also the battery cannot last overnight it drains from 100% to 0% in less then 6 hours, might as well RMA this crap or wait till marshmallow see if any thing changes, if MM doesn't drop by next monday I'm a RMA this sony crap
Charging the Z5 with a PC will charge slowly even with quick charge set on on pc..
But here's the interesting part that I have noticed. When you plug the device in to the usb on the pc and set the phone to charge only mode.. It charges damn slow. And I mean slow. But. If you plug the device in to the pc and set the device to MTP mode and just leave it to charge. The device actually charges a bit quicker.. I find it weird. But since usb output is 2Amps 5Volts, I use a 2.1Amp usb charging DC adapter and a thick usb cable and my device charges fast as he'll. 1% to 100% in 45 minutes to an hour.. But once a week I give my device a full charge (charge completely while device is switched off -usually when Im going to go to sleep I leave it over night).. Charging a phone when it's on only gives it a quick charge, hence why when you turn off the device even when battery shows 100% while it is on. The device only roughly shows around 70% - 80% charged, depending on device maybe even 90-95%.. So u can fast charge it, then turn it off and charge the remaining amount of battery while it's off.. Don't charge past 70% while you're using the phone. Or it Will get hot which can decrease battery life..
Hopefully this information was useful to some of you..
Have a great day guys

Not charging any more
My Z5 does not charge any more. I tried different chargers and cables, that worked until yesterday, but now it´s not charging.
When I plug in the cable in the empty phone, the red LED on top goes on for a short time, the Sony logo appears, than the big battery symbol. But then it won´t charge. Any ideas?
I think i can remember getting yesterday an update from Sony. But I don´t what it was. I had just the Symbol for System/What´s new update in the icon bar on top.

I downloaded the Sony Companion Software reflashed the firmware with that (connection and update worked) but charging is still not possible.
Doesn't make sense.. That sounds so odd. It probably is charging, but just not showing it??
Quite bizarre lol. Have you let the phone die completely, then recharge it and start it back up, after around 10% charge??
Another alternative, use a third party app to calibrate the battery (if youre able to boot in to the os that is).
Removing the battery is another method (requires opening the device)
Last method I can think of but im not sure if it will do anything is to hold down the power & vol + & vol - keys altogether until device vibrates 3 times (while plugged in to a charger) keep holding all 3 keys until the phone vibrates (power cycles) 2 more times (3 vibrates followed by another 3 fast vibrates)..
So like.. While holding all keys, phone will vibrate once.. Then it will vibrate 3 times(rapidly).. Keep holding all keys.. It'll vibrate another 3 times (rapidly).continue holding all keys for 1 more cycle of 3 rapid vibrates, then only let go of the vol down key, but keep holding vol up and power key for another 10 seconds (or until you feel 2 more power cycles of 3 rapid vibrations (6 in total). Then leave device off. Observe the charging icon see if it charges..
Good luck

i have all the above problems too someone please help us!
A little Help for you guys
I have had same problem exactly, phone seemed dead after getting same charging problems, do hard reset (lock button + Vol up button) for about 20 secs i think, i got a blue light now, nothing else but better than nothing. will update if i get any progress.
---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------
pressed the manual off button next to sim card with skewer, now i get a rotation of the sony screen, needs charge screen with battery and lightning and sometimes get a red light in the top right.
For anyone experiencing these issues, please clean the usb port with a needle. I was having the same problems and noticed there was a lot of dust and fibers in there from my pockets. The micro-usb also stays in a lot better!
I held down my power button, volume buttons and let it vibrate three times. It worked! Apparently it had been charging just something was off with it.
This may help others,
My neighbor's sony turned off on 1%, and does not want to charge, it gets warm, and when I plug the charger, the led turns red, then green and then it turns off with no signs of charging.
I tried the Power+ Vol Up trick but it did not work,
what worked for me is the following:
plug the charge cable, and as soon as the led turns red, plug and unplug the cable rapidly untill the screen turns on, then keep it plugged, this should trigger the phone to continue charging.
PS, try to avoid letting the battery reach 1%, sometimes the battery depletes without the backup needed to trigger the charging state, and on some phones like the htc sometimes causes the onboard storage to break, which will cost you a new motherboard!
Hi there,
so apparently my phone battery died today when my phone fell under my car seats.
tried to charge it at work but only had a charger <1A, thought that was too less because it wouldn't move from the 1% screen.
at some point i noticed it wasn't really charging no matter the charger.. tried some tricks from this and other forums. right now it will display the 1% screen when plugged in but the LED is not lit. i can power it up but ofc with a low batt like that it will vibrate briefly and shut off after like 10-15 secs.
pressing vol+ and power button leads to vibrating 3 times and seemingly soft reset, i can plug it in after that and the LED is lit red for charging, but will stop after like 15-30 minutes (1.5A charger) and display 1% screen again.
yellow switch, do i hold that one down 5-10sec with or without any charger plugged in?
as said, without pressing anything after soft reset now i can briefly press power and the screen shows it's "stuck" at the 1% screen, after being plugged in for like half an hour, after the first 15 mins the red LED went out. i'll leave it like this over night but don't have much hope, think it aint charging without the red LED lit?
any input on how i can reboot this thing properly without loosing any data on my phone is greatly appreciated!
oh and i also read the battery cable/contacts inside can be disconnected.. as said the phone fell down in the car, could that be a problem with the symptoms i'm seeing as well?
quick update, let it plugged over night and in the morning it was still showing 1% and no LED.
unplugged it and pushed yellow button for 15 secs, with no reaction. let it sit some minutes and plugged it again, red LED for some secs, then 1% screen and no LED again.
came back after an hour and it shows 30% charge and boots up!
however, no charging LED whatsoever and once booted, it doesn't charge any more (no charging icon anyways).
turned the phone off again and will try to charge it that way..
still seems strange whatever is going on here.
any input?
I hope someone who knows more about this issue comes by to help you! All I think of to ask is if your phone is maybe only charging when the display is on? I have a GPD XD that won't charge if the display is off, it can be plugged in for hours and the battery won't increase. Found that out with a charger that lights up... so I have set it to daydream when charging and it charges that way. I don't know if this will help you at all, if maybe your device is sleeping a little TOO deep :laugh:
