Hello everybody... Well, my X10 doens't power and charges... It simply blinks a red led 3 times and start to get hot... I looked for this on google and just found a problem like this on X1. I removed the battery for some time, and now placed it again and started to charge... the red led blinked thousand times, but now stopped. But the phone didn't boot and still getting hot.
Someone can help with that?

No... The red led was blinking 3 times... and now, no led light. Everything is black.
Are you using an 'official' SE battery? For my x10 I have three batterys, one which came with the phone ( the official one that has sony ericsson printed on ) and two fairly cheap ones I got from ebay which are ' 3rd party cheap replicas '.
The only way I can get my cheap ones to charge is by having them in the phone cradle I got off amazon where you can stand the phone and behind that there is a slot for a spare battery to charge without it being in the phone.
I hope this makes sence so far lol
So anyway I always have one battery charging, one ready to use when the one runs out in the phone and swap them around in a cycle as I need.
If I try and charge the cheap batterys in the phone the phone will just constantly turn itself off and on until the battery is completely drained.
I would recommend getting one of the cradle chargers and make sure it has the spare battery slot at the back, mine was around £10 - £15 I think.
Iv tried to be as clear as possible and I hope this helps if its not an official battery you have

Xperia is the type of phone you have. Take out the battery and look at it and tell me if it says sony ericsson clearly on the battery itself with a hollogram or just bst-41 with a few pictures.

Youd have to rule out the charger itself first by using another one. If that works then your sorted. If it doesnt then its either the phone or battery.

Very true but like I mentioned and somehow 2 / 3 of batterys won't charge in the phone, they have to be charged in the cradle.
Works fine for me.

Well, my phone red led now stopped blinking, and dont blink in any situation... =/
Thatl be because the battery is drained completely. Look at my previous posts and read carefully what iv said and you shall hopefully find some answers.
EDIT: one last thought before I go. Turn on your pc or laptop and try charging through a usb port on there or try the mains charger instead.
I'm off to bed now so good luck and if your still stuck I'll try and help more tomorow, seriously read what iv said slowly and take it in.

I have this same problem. For me, it happened when the battery (yes, official SE OEM battery) got fully discharged when I was unable to get to a power source on Saturday night, and since then, the battery will not take a charge. Worse, AT&T says they have no replacement batteries in stock, their warranty department found none in any of the AT&T online stores, and when they contacted SE for me, SE offered to send a replacement...in 5-7 business days! So, for now, I have a (fairly lightweight) brick after owning the device for a mere 34 days (4 days, by the way, after I could send it back to AT&T with a big middle finger for them to shove up their noses).
Ugh.
Does the X10a any key combinations that would allow the device to "reset" the battery memory?
Yes my phone shut down on its own. Rebooted it launched car mode right away I went and shut it off and then BLANK.
And now if i can even get it to power on it does for less thn a second before going dark.
I tried both my extended and stock battery. Phone be dead.
Next question can I take it into a sprint store and have it replaced under a defect or am i shelling out cash?

With the battery inserted and the phone off, plug it into the wall outlet. Does the orange/green light turn on?
Try unplugging the charger and remove the battery. Then press and hold the power button (to flush any left over charge).
Insert the battery and power it up. Let us know the results.
Also, did you do anything to your phone? (i.e. SetCPU? Flash a .zip file)
Good luck dude.
I have done all of that.
ALSO NO LIGHT COMES ON WHEN PLUGGED IN with any of my batteries. (STOCK and a 3500mAh battery)
I have put on set cpu using the profile ONDEMAND
I did not flash anything. It was on sitting there next to me and it just shut off. I was not doing anything at the time. When I turned it back on it was in car mode like it sensed the dock. I was like okay well bugs happen. So i swipe down turn it off. And then the car mode indicator stayed on and i was thinking well wtf. Then my screen went black. I then pushed the power button and i swiped to enter into the home screen which was black then a few seconds latter it gave me the loading screen like it was loading sense then *DEAD* ...

Uhm okay to the last two posts. CORD WAS NOT PLUGGED IN..
MY reserve battery is always fully charged. and my battery tht i had in it was at 62% on a extended 3500 Siedio BATTERY.
Not the cable I have 6 micro cables in the house. Two for other devices some for my dads and step moms phones and the two for my Bluetooth and kindle.
IT isn't the batteries. or the cables..

Sounds like the phone is pretty much toast then. There shouldn't be any harm in taking the phone in and seeing if a warranty exchange will be done. At worst they'll tell you that you gotta pay up, and at best they'll either be able to fix it or offer a replacement free of charge.
If you gotta pay up then you do always have the choice of refusing, in which case you're left in exactly the same situation you are now; a broken phone and no money out of your pocket. I say take it in, see what happens. No guarantees either way but surely it's gotta be worth a shot.
I got a sprint store that does not do repairs but its a corporate sized store.
Then inn victorville I have a store that is a 3rd party store but offers all services except 4g... They are on the same road. So tomorrow I am hitting the sprint one first to see what the deal is.
Anyways I think i might get warranty due to it just failing all of a sudden.
Also do i have to give them my memory card back?

Sweet. It sucks alot due to it failing and my class schedual for college was on my phone >.<
I start tomorrow again.
You never give the SD card back. It's been a while since I've gotten a replacement phone, but I'm fairly sure you get to keep the charger cable and a/c adapter as well.
That is how it should work.
Have them boost your battery on their cadex machine anyway.
I've seen people come in with supposedly fried phones that wouldn't light up for anything. Quick cadex boost and they're out the door with a working phone again.

Hopefully you didn't have your phone overclocked and caused it to go haywire. What kind of Kernel did you use? Was it SBC or non-SBC?
Well my EVO came back alive... Idk why but it just did.. I don't understand why it would re act like this.
But I do not over clock. I use on demand and smart ass for battery. I dont over clock but i under clock to 128 for min. I use the freedom aggressive v8 . I have not had a problem with undervolting ever before..

check the pins on your usb connector for items than can short (foil gum wrappers etc). That could have been what kicked it into car mode too.
Glad that it came back dude

I am not sure. i switched to the newer 8.5 kernel and started using my stock battery. So I am not sure what fixed it but it eventually came back to life...
okay i need help i have been been jumping from rom to rom trying "EVERY" fix that its on this site trying to fix this issue flashing kernal after kernal but nothing is working i thought it was my battery but i brought it to a sprint tech and he said the battery tested good so now i'm really lost okay here it goes My battery will drain from 100% down to 80% within 5 minutes and usually will be dead within 2 1/2 hours after being off of the charger with moderate usage such as calls text and checking email. and then the craziest **** happen to me when i was trying the htc fix posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&highlight=htc the phone will hit 0% and shutdown; I'll place it on the charger (AC wall charger, not the usb adapter) until the orange LED stops blinking; I'll turn the phone on and once it's fully booted it will read 53%......all of this within 5mins of going dead! WTF!!! have the most recent radios/PRI/PRL with this rom stock no tweaks and before like 2 week ago ny battery life was great i was running decks newest but i flash the flyer express and the rainy day rom and ever since battery life went crazy
Have you tried a different battery?
Nah that's my next move but bye the tech at Sprint saying my battery was good figured I wasn't the battery

How on earth can they test that? Ph wait its showing full charge it must be good :-/ anyway how old is it? Mine started showing its ass after about a year and became in bearable latley. SBC never worked well after the first charge for me it wouldn't charge unless I flashed something else then back. Weird I know. Anyway I bought 2 extended batteries off eBay and it came with an external charger. My silicone cover fits it without a battery cover so it's hardly noticeable. In the morning before work I grab the spair and last all day now streaming the radio. Oh btw just in case anyone else streams just as much as I do, sprint WILL send you a letter if too much of it is from roaming. And no I have stock prls.

I have 3 EVO's in the house so I have bought about 6 batteries off of ebay with these small dock chargers just to keep on hand. When a battery is getting low, I just shut down the phone and insert a freshly charged one. They are really cheap, $3 or $4 each. Some of them come from US sellers so they arrive in a couple of days. They seem to work just as good and last just as long as the ones supplied by HTC, probably made in the same factories in China.
I should have just bought several of those instead of the extended but I kinda have gotten used to the silicon case holding my battery in. When its swap time there is no prying fingernails under the cover. And the camera seems to he more protected.

Well sadly my beloved HD2 decided not to turn on yesterday and Im hoping someone has the answer to fixing it.
I have an ICS android rom installed onto it with CWM Recovery so I should be able to charge while the phone is not on but I am not getting a charging light at all, I have tried multiple usb leads and even a out of phone battery charger which says the battery is fully charged but when I turn it on all I get is a slight vibrate and then nothing. I have also tried bending the pins to make sure they are connecting with the battery.
Any Ideas? Thanks

i suspect you are confusing CWM and cLK. cLK can charge when off, magldr can't. Its nothing to do with CWM.
Assuming you have magldr, and don't have an external charger / spare hd2 / spare battery to test with, if you have a spare usb cable (mini, micro, doesn't matter, any old usb lead) cut end off, (mini end, lol) bare red and black and hold them against + and - on the battery for a minute or so. Fingers are fine, you wont get a shock. Don't touch the center plate on the battery, just the + and - outer pads.
If that doesn't work then its not the battery.
Yes sorry I did mean cLK, I have already used an external charger with the battery and I should be getting a spare tomorrow just to double check it is not the battery and I guess this method is just to charge the battery?
If it is not the battery do you have any idea what else it could be? again the only sign of life in the phone is the small vibration I get if I take out the battery and put it back in and press the on button.
Well I just got the spare battery but nothing new still get the tiny vibrate and the phone does not turn on
Possibility that the lcd went out on you... worst case scenarios is you having to buy a new used phone and selling your current one as parts not work. Hopefully by selling your broken phone... you will get some money to cover for the new used phone

Surely if the lcd went the phone would still turn on?
Nahh although I love the HD2 it is time for an upgrade probably gonna wait for the HTC One X.
Looks like im stuck with this lame 2g iPhone for now then

Yes its possible.... I had it happened to my hd2... but to make sure I searched and found that it is possible that the LCD went bad and still you can see that it power on. .. but because you cant see where your phone loads up. .. it could be bootlooping. .. but if it power up all the way. .. called it. .. see if it rings

This may be the noobiest of questions, but is there anything special that needs to be done to chage the unit or is anyone aware of units with bad charging ports. I just unboxed my Nexus last night and as my usual new device ritual put it on the charger for a few minutes. Noticed the battery icon came on for about 5-10 seconds and then disappeared. Figured it was normal but when I powered it on we only at 43%. Shut it off and let it "charge" overnight but when I powered it back up still at 43%. Tried a different cable with same results. Calling store today but wondering if I might have missed something.

A common problem seems to be that the battery connector is not properly seated during assembly. Pop off the back cover and visually inspect the connector. Also, there are a handful of threads regarding the issue you're having. You may want to search for them and check them out for some pertinent info.

Ok, so got the back popped off and all look connected. Power the unit back on and somehow it's at 49% and my wife said when she picked it up earlier today it was at 55%. Checked the battery stats and it's been online for 9 hrs. If I plug it in while powered on the charging icon displays as if it's charging. Just tried leaving it powered on and connecting the charger and just leaving it. If I hit the power button the charging icon comes on, so maybe it is charging, just incredibly slowly?

My cable went bad within a month. Luckily, every other item we own seems to have the same micro-usb slot, so we had a ton of other cables to try, so that fixed it. But two bad cables - I wouldn't guess that.
Try to unplug the battery and replication it again. Open the back cover and do that. You need to be carefully and not to break the pins.
