Hi,
I'm having this weird problem, maybe it's just a setting, but let me explain:
I connect the Flipout to my PC using the original USB and you can choose "charge, read memory, etc..."... anyways, the phone charges (the battery indicator jumps from left to right and eventually fills up).
However, I use the same USB on the original wall-charger then the battery changes to an "electric shock", and the wall-charger "supports" the phone (the battery does not drain), but does not charge. So if you got 50%, you will stay on 50% battery.
I connected the phone to the wall charger having 0% for about a half hour, and the phone is still no 0% (start on-screen).
When I unplug the charger, then I get a pop up saying "charger disconnected - save energy and plug out the charger from the wall".
So, what's wrong? The phone recognizes the charger, but it does not charge...
Greetings.
Hi guys,
Suddenly facing a strange problem since last night.
My x10i was running out of charge & i connected to the comp to charge while i was working. I noticed the charging speed was extremely low, so i restarted the phone to see if it would help. Did not.
Thought there is some problem with the cable, used a different cable as well, but no use.
The slow charging had stopped and eventually the phone died.
Tried connecting to the socket & charging, still no use.
The red led blinks when i connect the phone to a charger via the usb or the socket.
needless to say the phone does not even boot up now, obviously for no charge...
any ideas wat maybe wrong or wat i could do ?
please advice
Have you tried to let it charge for some time in off mode? As long as your battery is not dead, and the phone get the right voltage through the USB connector it should charge in an "emergency mode". This is a slow way of charging, but allows for charging without any electronic circuits to monitor it, it is not the same as the charging screen that usually displays when you connect the phone while it is powered off. Usually when a phone is completely discharged it needs to be connected at least 15 min, sometimes a lot longer, before the electronics kicks in, and starts the speedcharging.
My best advise would be to connect it to the mains charger, or a USB port you KNOW supplies power. Some laptops cut down on the powersupply to the USB ports when they run on battery. Let it be connected for a long time (several hours), and then try to power it on again.
If that does not help three things can be wrong
1. Somewhere the USB connection is broken, either in the cable or in the connector on your phone (or on the PC's connector, but that is less likely).
2. The battery is dead, modern batteries contain circuits that actually disables the battery when any given parameters gets outside the defined limits. This is to prevent the battery catching fire. On some batteries this renders the battery useless, and you need a new battery.
3.) The mainboard of your phone is dead, and hence nothing works, can be ruled out if you can borrow a battery from someone to test if your phone works then.
I hope a good and long charge can sort out your problem, that is the easiest fix, and it is free.
Hi O_K,
well, i have been charging (or trying to) the phone since it died last night.
i have used different chargers & different modes of charge (through the system & the wall socket) - no joy at all.
the LED blinks red a couple of times when connected.
Very occasionally, the SONY ERICSSON logo (startup) shows on the screen & it switches off again, back to the blinking.
So charging for a long time & through different chargers has not helped.
gonna try a different battery now to see if that can help.
Thanks for your response!
well, tried switching chargers & batteries.
The problem seems to be with the charging unit on the phone (USB)
with any charger or battery, wen connected the led blinks (like wen the phone is charging), but there is no charge happening.
eventually the phone dies, even if charging
any ideas?
There is a thread some where in this forum for fixing the same problem you have...I don't remember the exact name of the thread..if I find it I'll post the link here..Anyways what the guy did was
-Pull the battery out and connect the charger till the led turns green.
-put in the battery now and charge the phone...
and I think that was it.
Hope it helped..
EDIT: Found the link.

Hey there, my a3 2016 has been acting up lately in that sometimes it detects that its been plugged into a charger and shows its 'charging' however it sometimes randomly decides not to detect that its been plugged in and doesnt do anything, this is also the same when connecting to a PC.
The thing is that when it doesn't react to being plugged in it still charges the phone as when it later detects being plugged in the battery percentage is always as if it was on charge. For example in the morning it would be on 15%, i plug it in, nothing happens but i leave it plugged in then in the afternoon i plug it in, shows the "charging" notification however the percentage jumps to 70%.
Any ideas on what this could be? The usb charging port, the battery, or maybe software?
Cheers!
Good day everyone i have a samsung j3 it charges fine when i use the wall socket. But when i plug it to the pc using the usb port, it starts charging and stops adn it does it repeatedly like 1 sec interval starts charge stop start stop.. I downloaded the driver for the phone, but the funny thing is i can see my phone an storage while it connecedted but the charging keeps starting an stopping
a5 2016 when powered off and i plug cable to charge phone shows battery thunder symbol but not charging, maybe the cable bad? but sometimes work fine when powered off and i put charge the usb cable in wall charger. now another phone powered off, and i put the charger, same ISSUE not see battery 0% but battery boot and not charged. when i reinsert the cable started charged. this happen with two phones same ( a5 2016) sometimes battery not charging it stopped at 70 or random number. i leave it in night so when i wake up i see 93% charging. and not fully because i dont reinsert cable in to the phone. i dont know maybe the another cable dont do that how cable did this issue, not charging when powered off, when reinsert it start charged. and i forgot mention the cable which i use in the phone which not start charged sometimes when i got 0% it start charged when i reinsert so this cable dont recognized to the pc. it shows error when i plugged two phones or another phone not a5 so the cable bad? how the magic trasnfer issue to another a5 when phone without defect issues!. strange. so what you opinion? cable bad?
i forgot mention even when phone charging power off the cable loose connection not on power was phone. i wake up and see powered off not nothing happened not light screen to see fully charged . its off. when i reinsert cable was battery 97% not 100% so the cable lost connection random even when powered off charging. so 100% cable bad? because its stopped sometimes charged at random percent and sometimes charged fully
